Chapter 60: Leonardo's fear of heights

“cut!”

Xiansen frowned tightly, rubbed his temples and shouted, "Leo, don't you have such a stiff expression, okay?" Your current state has fluctuated too much, relax, calm down. E-on, let's do it again. ”

Medfield Psychiatric Hospital is located in the northeast corner of Massachusetts, which is known as the "Bay State", where the climate is suitable, the four seasons are distinct, and the precipitation is abundant under the influence of the Gulf Stream.

The closest harbor to Medfield Psychiatric Hospital is the Port of Salem, a small harbor that has fallen into disrepair and looks like it has a lot of history.

This scene is a scene where Teddy takes Chuck to the harbor of Shutter Island, ready to investigate the lighthouse. In the movie, this section is treacherous, as Leonardo has to climb a steep vertical rock face with his bare hands, and the bottom of the cliff is a tumbling wave.

Of course, this is just a look, in fact, when it comes to the actual shooting, this part is quite simple, and with all kinds of security measures, Leonardo only needs to stay on the edge of the cliff for a few minutes. However, to everyone's surprise, Leonardo had a fear of heights, not to mention a few minutes, just by letting him look at it, the whole person tensed his body nervously, and his legs trembled slightly.

Before filming, Xiansen spent a long time cheering for Leonardo, but this was a mental illness, and before the filming began, Leonardo on the edge of the cliff closed his eyes and squatted down.

“cut!”

Xiansen threw the megaphone in his hand aside and walked to Leonardo's side, and after repeated measurements, the position was actually very safe.

"Mist, I'm sorry."

Leonardo was almost lying on the ground when he said this, and he didn't dare to open his eyes. He didn't expect that he had a fear of heights, but the truth is that as soon as he got to the edge of the cliff, he couldn't help but be afraid, which was not his intention, but instinct.

Xiansen had a headache, he had no way to solve this fear of heights, but he also saw Leonardo's guilt, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll think of a way." ”

After saying that, he walked up to Brent and asked in a low voice, "Is there a way for you to make Leo appear closer to the cliff and give people the illusion through the camera?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mister, I don't think it's a big deal, you know, this distance is already the limit now, and then it will be all exposed."

Brent's answer made Xiansen very frustrated, since there was no way to use the means of camera, then there was only one way. Thinking of this, Xiansen walked and picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Come two people, lie flat, grab Leo's feet for me." ”

As soon as the words fell, two big men volunteered to walk out of the crew, and after helping Leonardo up, two people lay flat on the ground, and one of them grabbed one of Leonardo's feet in his hand.

"Leo, open your eyes, your feet are already secured."

After seeing Leonardo slowly straighten up and barely open his eyes, Xiansen snapped his fingers and motioned for Brent to get ready.

"Lighthouse scene! Group 14, First Shot, Begins! ”

Looking at Leonardo's stiff body and expression, although it is much better than before, it still can't satisfy Xiansen, he has used all the methods that should be used, Xiansen really can't think of a better way, this set of shots needs to give Leonardo's half body and cliff close-up, even if you find a stand-in, you can't do it, can you only rely on post-production? Thinking of this, Xiansen sighed depressedly.

This is the third week of filming of the movie, and unlike "50 First Loves", in these three weeks, Xiansen has already encountered all the problems that he can experience in making a movie, and because the crew is not as cohesive as in "50 First Loves", similar quarrels often happen. The makeup artist and the stylist quarreled, the photographer and the gaffer quarreled, the whole crew was messy every day, and the shooting progress was also very slow. Xiansen was angry in public more than once for this, and even fired a few people, but the result was still not very satisfactory.

Over the past few days, these things on and off the field have made Xiansen very tired, and now for the sake of Leonardo's camera, the crew has once again quarreled, and everyone is chattering about their thoughts.

“toishutup!”

Slammed the megaphone to the ground.

With a "bang", all sounds stopped.

"I've said it many times, for me, what the crew needs most is unity, if there is a problem, discuss solutions, not make me noisy there one by one!"

After calming down, Xiansen continued: "If anyone feels that they can't stand the thoughts of others, then stand up for me now!" Get out of my crew! ”

Xiansen's voice was very angry, all the things that had happened in the past three weeks made him unwilling to endure it anymore, even if he couldn't complete the task, he admitted it, a messy crew like this might as well be disbanded and reorganized! At this moment, Xiansen suddenly fell in love with Julie Barrymore, and the crew members of "50 First Loves" were all selected by her.

"Director, it's all my fault, now I can"

Seeing Xiansen's anger, Leonardo broke away from his two hands, walked over tremblingly, and said with a very calm appearance as he walked: "You see, I have overcome my fear now. ”

Seeing Leonardo's trembling legs, Xiansen let out a long sigh, he was indeed angry, but it was also a momentary anger and impulsiveness, and now his emotions gradually calmed down. Picking up the megaphone, he continued: "E-on, do it again, Leo, don't be reluctant, post-production can make this shot when the time comes." ”

"Director, it's okay, I believe in myself."

Leonardo walked to the edge of the cliff, his heart beating faster and his breathing heavier.

"Calm down, calm down!"

After silently cheering himself up in his heart, Leonardo stuck out his head and looked down the cliff, and at the same time, his face showed worry. This footage is about Chuck disappearing into a cliff, and based on the cigarette butts on the edge of the cliff, Teddy thinks Chuck has fallen off the cliff.

“cut! This paragraph is over! ”

Leonardo's performance can only be regarded as average, but Xiansen knows that this is already the best he has done, so he is ready to let this section pass first, and if it really doesn't work, he will reshoot this section indoors, and then synthesize it later.

"Director, I want to shoot again, I can do better!"

Leonardo was not satisfied with his performance, and despite what Xiansen had said, he stubbornly decided to reshoot.

"Remake?"

Hearing this word, Xiansen smiled, there are very few actors who ask the director to reshoot, this is the most meticulous pursuit of the movie, and it is also the most faithful responsibility for the role, Leonardo's request not only did not make Xiansen feel ashamed, but made him recognize it even more.

"Okay, all departments work hard, let's do this scene one last time!"

Picking up the megaphone, Xiansen made a decision with a smile!
