May 1, International Labor Day.

It rained heavily in Massachusetts today, and when the sky cleared, the rain accumulated small water gulls in the potholes on the road, reflecting the white clouds in the sky and the blue sky behind the white clouds. People walking on Medfield Street are cautious, for fear that the splash will wet their trouser legs, and even more afraid of trampling the scenery in the water.

At this time, the Medfield Psychiatric Hospital had been sealed from the inside, and in order to prevent the filming from being leaked, the doors of the psychiatric hospital were tightly locked, and there were several security guards patrolling the door 24 hours a day to prevent the paparazzi and reporters from infiltrating.

"Hi Leo, how's the preparation? We're going to get started! ”

After coming out of the hospital, Xiansen rushed back to the set as soon as possible, and now he has a complete storyboard script, a complete story ending, and a detailed historical trajectory of the film in his brain.

Sometimes Xiansen expressed strong doubts about the historical trajectory, but the colorful introductions in his mind made it difficult for him to find flaws, and between such contradictory emotions, Xiansen chose to acquiesce, not to deliberately pay attention to it, nor to deliberately ignore it.

The historical trajectory of "Shutter Island" was released on February 19, 2010, and was directed by Martin Scorsese. This name Xiansen is very familiar, a director with a strong personal style in Hollywood, and has won numerous awards, in Xiansen's opinion, his most representative film should be "Goodfellas", which is a gangster movie that he is very obsessed with.

History always has a lot of coincidences and similarities, and in the cast, Xiansen was surprised to find that Martin Scorsese's version of "Shutter Island" actor Teddy and his partner Chuck are played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo respectively.

Of course, most of the other parts are different, such as Rachel's role changed from Emily Motimer to Jodie Foster; John Cowley is played by Ben Kingsley and becomes Steve Buscemy. In terms of fame and acting skills, the heroine of Xiansen's version of Jodie Foster can kill each other in an instant, but it is really difficult to judge which is stronger or weaker between Ben Kingsley and Steve Buscemi.

Of course, in Xiansen's eyes, all the roles he has set are stronger than Martin Scorsese's version, and even Leonardo is younger, more handsome and more attractive than the other party.

In addition to the actors, Xiansen also learned from the historical trajectory that the investment in Martin Scorsese's version of "Shutter Island" was only more than 70 million US dollars, and such a complex movie only cost 70 million US dollars, which made Xiansen feel incredible, you know, the historical trajectory of "50 First Loves" gave an investment of 70 million US dollars.

The ability of a director determines everything about a film.

Xiansen can understand the meaning of this sentence more and more, making the best movie with the lowest investment, which reflects the director's personal strength, just like he always felt that his $2 million "50 First Love" was better than Peter Sigore's 70 million shot, and now what he wants to do is to use $30 million to make a 70 million version of "Shutter Island" that surpasses Martin Scorsese's 70 million.

If these two directors knew what Xiansen was thinking, they would definitely silently despise Xiansen: God, please forgive this cheeky guy.

Just like last time, after the script card came into effect, Xiansen had the right to watch the Martin Scorsese version of the movie once, and of course, Xiansen also chose to give up watching it like last time. When the storyboard script is all instilled into his brain, he already has his own understanding of this movie, any movie after revealing all the mysteries, in fact, it is nothing more than that, the good thing to say is that it is called high intelligence, and the bad thing is to deliberately make a simple storyline suspenseful, cough cough, of course, the latter sentence Xiansen will not say

"Shutter Island" is about to officially start filming the first set of shots.

This first shot is the first time that Federal Police Officer Teddy comes to Shutter Island, and is driven by Warden McPherson to Ashwood Cliff Hospital, the prison where mentally ill prisoners are kept. The first set of shots is very simple, it only needs to show the dark and terrifying side of the psychiatric hospital through the pull of the camera, and there is only a small close-up of Leonardo's face in this set of shots.

In the Medfield Psychiatric Hospital, the camera equipment has been placed, Brent is carefully doing the final adjustments, the lighting engineer is also discussing the final exposure with Xiansen, Leonardo is holding the script, brewing emotions while the makeup artist touches up his makeup, and everyone in the crew is doing their own work.

"When I was going to shoot, I need you to quickly push the camera along the track from the outside to the courtyard, and this set of shots should not be shot separately, which will be more oppressive in one go." After discussing with the gaffer, Xiansen walked up to Brent's side and said while gesturing, "There is also a close-up of Leo's face that should be inadvertently flashed to capture a momentary change in expression." ”

After saying that, Xiansen patted Brent on the shoulder and walked towards Leonardo.

"Leo, how's it going, do you feel like you've found it?"

“ok！”

Leonardo gestured, stood up, moved his body for a moment, and walked towards the set with a solemn face, he was now in the role.

"Ready!"

Brent gave a thumbs up to Xiansen, signaling that everything was ready to start shooting.

After looking around, the people in each position gave a thumbs up to Xiansen, indicating that their preparations here had been completed.

"Okay, then, we're going to get started!"

Xiansen took a long breath, walked to the back of the viewfinder, and when he confirmed that the pictures on the screen were accurate, he smiled slightly, snapped his fingers and shouted, "action!" ”

The clapperboard was closed, the machine was running, and the filming of Shutter Island officially began!

In the viewfinder, Brent's lens advances from the outside of the psychiatric hospital little by little, and the two heavy iron gates are slowly pushed open, and the dim light, mottled walls, and lush forests make people feel suffocated.

"It's good, it's beautiful!"

Looking at the picture in the viewfinder, Xiansen kept muttering in his mouth, this shot is perfect, and now there is a close-up of Leonardo's face.

The camera slowly moved upwards and swept over Leonardo's face, and for about three seconds, Leonardo's deep eyes were a little blurry and heavy, as well as a little tired and depressed.

“cut！”

Xiansen shouted excitedly, this performance is too exciting, a person's eyes can contain so many emotions, it is too in line with the image of Teddy.

"This paragraph is over!"

As soon as Xiansen's words fell, everyone whistled and cheered, and the movie started so smoothly, which also made them more confident in the subsequent shooting.

"Prepare for the next shot!"

With a snap of his fingers, Xiansen walked over to Leonardo with satisfaction.
