At the intersection of 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, is home to one of the world's largest and busiest transportation buildings and the world's largest public space. Opened in 1913, the building is a testament to the New World's emphasis on public space for the general public and the golden age of train travel in the United States.

It's Grand Central Terminal in New York.

Outside Grand Central Station, a statue clock hangs high above the building, and in the center of the statue is Mercury, the god of commerce in Roman mythology, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, and Hercules on the left. It represents morality and allows people to feel the moral and spiritual culture beyond the prosperity of the United States.

It's a magnificent piece of architecture, one of the most important parts of central Manhattan, and a masterpiece of engineering genius.

There are more than a dozen ticket windows in the hall, and every time you go to the museum, you can't see the crowds buying tickets on holidays or weekdays.

The original painting of the starry sky in the hall was created in 1912 by the French artist Heroux. Because the sky map depicts the sky completely in reverse. Some people once thought that this was a mistake made by the artist, but in fact it was a genius idea of the artist. Because this is looking at the starry sky from God's point of view, it is the opposite of the human perspective to look at the starry sky from the world beyond the starry sky. In addition, the position of the starry sky is different from the real position, because it is based on a map of the starry sky from the Middle Ages. There are more than 2,500 stars in the vault, and the positions of the stars are marked by lights, and the lights are full of light as soon as the power is turned on.

Standing in the midst of this magnificent building and looking at the endless stream of people, it is as if you are in history. It makes people feel a little wonderful.

Are you making history, or is history watching you?

Just outside the gates of Grand Central Station, the cinematographer of the crew of "Grand Central Station". Look for a corner. Here, there are no various billboards, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of a simple and old charm.

"Grand Central Station, Scene 1, Shot 1, Ikesh!"

The actor who plays Anna. It's the cleaner at DreamWorks, Ms. Ellie. Uh--it wasn't Yang Lin trying to save money, it was Ellie's insistence: his ten-year-old son. Because he was dissatisfied with his mother being a cleaner, he had a big fight with her. Therefore, she wants to appear in a scene in the movie. Tell her son. Your mother, in fact, can also be an actress.

In the face of such a request, Yang Lin would not refuse. If a movie can make a mother taller in the mind of her son, it is already the greatest success and harvest.

Anna faces the camera: "Jesus, knowing you is the greatest misfortune of my life. I am writing to you about your son Joshua. You want me to do it."

Joshua, played by Leonardo, listened quietly on the side, nodding from time to time.

"Click!"

Yang Lin stopped the camera, touched his chin, and slowly said to Ellie, "Ellie, don't be nervous. Imagine a mother who is faced with a request from her son to write a letter to his father, but this father, who is thousands of miles away, is working hard. What kind of sadness and longing will she have? Don't be too pretentious, too deliberate, just according to your own understanding, what you think it should be, is what it is. You have to know that Anna does not exist at all, you are Anna, what you think, Anna thinks. What you are, Anna is what you are. ”

Ellie was slightly stunned, am I Anna? What I am, what Anna is?

She nodded thoughtfully. Her husband died a long time ago, leaving her and her son alone. Sometimes, the son will cry and shout, and ask her for a father. At that moment, my heart seemed to be shattered into pieces. She can't be a father, so she has to deceive her son, your father, in a far away place, when you grow up, you will see him.

Think about it, Anna is just like herself, right? Sad, helpless, longing, how tired and haggard a woman is raising her son alone.

Ai Li took a deep breath and nodded to Yang Lin: "OK, boss, let's do it again." She was very nervous, for no other reason, film is very expensive, do it all over again, the wasted film is enough for her salary for a week, right? The boss is a kind person, and he agrees to his request, and he can't waste any more film on the boss.

"OK! "Grand Central Station" Scene 1, First Set of Shots, Ikesh!"

Elle faced the camera and sighed softly, her face full of wind and frost was full of deep helplessness and resentment.

Yang Lin nodded secretly, on the first day of shooting, the state entered so quickly, it was rare. I can't see that this Elle is quite talented, a cleaner, it is rare to have such talent.

"Jesus, knowing you is the greatest misfortune of my life. I am writing to you because your son Joshua asked me to do this. I said you're idle, but he still wants to see you."

Glenn Cross, who played Dora, raised his eyes with glasses, and glanced at Elle with a philistine.

Yang Lin gave a thumbs up, just this one look, and interpreted Dora's philistine, indifference, and cunning to the fullest. This kind of grasp of the eyes is the most difficult to express, from this, it can be seen that Glenn Close's acting skills are indeed Oscar-level.

Recording the address, Glen Cross said lightly: "Next." ”

Elle and Leonardo leave hand in hand.

Glen Cross glanced at the backs of the mother and son, revealing a faint disapproval.

"Click! OK, dear Glenn, awesome! Yang Lin unreservedly sent praise and affirmation to Glen Close. The character of Dora, finding Glenn Cross, is so perfect! It's effortless and flawless.

Glen Cross smiled slightly: "If I were twenty years younger, I would be happy to hear your compliments, and even willing to go on a date with you." ”

Yang Lin laughed and waved his hand. The crew is in place and ready for the next shot.

"Grand Central Station, Scene 1, Set 2, Ikesh!"

Another letter writer came and sat down in front of Glen Cross.

"Dear baby, I still will and will when I think of you clinging to me, lingering in the motel, sweating together"

This young man who wanted to write a letter to his girlfriend was not only illiterate, but also had problems with his expression skills, and he stuttered for a while, and he couldn't think of suitable words to express his feelings.

The crew members all laughed hard.

This guy who looks like he has too much energy and has a problem with his IQ is the driver of the "Dream Factory". Yang Lin also felt very funny, could it be that every employee of "DreamWorks" has a talent for acting? For example, the kid in front of him is usually full of spirit in the back of his head, but playing such a guy at this time is actually vivid and very talented in comedy.

Glen Cross was not small, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, and finally couldn't stand this guy, his face was like holding stool, and he said loudly: "Dizzy!" ”

"Dizzy?" The young man showed a comfortable expression of smooth stool, and nodded again and again: "Dizzy, right!" ”

"Click!"

"Hahaha-" The staff couldn't help laughing, this kid's performance was wonderful.

"Boss, how am I doing?"

Looking at this very dog-legged face, Yang Lin sighed deliberately: "It's a pity, comedian, it's hard to win the Oscar"

"Huh," the young man laughed too.

"OK, let's get ready for the next one!"

Mom took Joshua's hand and crossed the street. Joshua's spinning top, which was knocked off by a pedestrian, ran over and picked up the top that rolled to the side of the road. At this time, a bus in the distance drove over quickly

"Click! Stuntmen ready, stuntmen ready! ”

A stuntman from Hong Kong, dressed in the same clothes as Elle, walked to the middle of the road. The bus in the distance, also driven by the stuntman, was all ready, and the stuntman made an "OK" gesture to Yang Lin.

"Eksh!"

The bus drove over quickly, and the stuntman was knocked out with a "bang".

"Click!"

"Are there any injuries?"

Other pedestrians on the road, who didn't know that filming was going on here, saw someone hit by a car, and immediately exclaimed, setting off a commotion. There were even a few enthusiastic people who called an ambulance and ran over to check on the stuntman's injuries.

When the stuntman got up, everyone exclaimed again. When I saw the camera in the distance, I knew that I was filming.

There are sharp-eyed fans, and they immediately saw Yang Lin, and many people surrounded him.

Yang Lin signed softly, remembering that this is the Grand Central Station, the flow of people is endless, and it is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly used the excuse of "catching up with the show" to get out.

The filming speed of "Grand Central Station" was very fast, so fast that Glenn Cross was a little dumbfounded.

Every scene, every shot, is strictly in accordance with the script, and even one more shot will never be taken. Glen Close secretly calculated and found that Yang Lin's shooting method was best just set in the script. Isn't it necessary to shoot some alternative shots?

This Yang Lin is so confident, every shot he shoots can meet the requirements of the script?

You know, for an hour-long movie, the film has to shoot at least double, or even more. Then, the director selects the shots that he is satisfied with and fits the theme of the movie from these shots, and cuts them out, which is a complete movie.

Could it be that this movie already has a complete image in Yang Lin's mind? Oh, God! How is this possible? You know, if you have such a skill, when shooting a blockbuster, you can shoot a lot less shots, and the investment will be at least doubled!

Six days, no more than two hours of film, "Grand Central Station" is finished.

What shocked Glenn Close the most was that when the whole crew returned to Hollywood, took a shower, and slept for a while, Yang Lin had already finished editing the entire movie and sent it to the film schedule!

Forehead drop a god! (To be continued......)
