Daniel's SAT2 test room, also Hollywood Middle School, was a little less moving this time than the last time, probably for months, and there was so much discussion about him taking this test that everyone felt accustomed to it. However, despite this, the local police station still has a lot of police presence to prevent accidents. This time, instead of driving himself, he came in a Mercedes, and Miller and a few security guards were still lined up in front of the gate.

This time, when he came out, he didn't go directly to the parking lot to get on the bus, but waved and said hello to reporters, some parents and fans who came to take pictures with cameras before getting in the car and leaving.

After the exam, Daniel didn't stay long in Los Angeles and flew directly to Berlin.

Most of the filming scenes of "Spy 2" are in the Berlin area, and some of the scenes in Russia are also filmed on the streets of the original East Germany, of course, there are also some short scenes that need to be filmed in Russia, and finally go to India for a few days. Basically, try to finish it by the end of November.

This time it passed, and Daniel didn't walk alone, Doug. Liman was one step ahead as a producer, and he was working with new director Paul Leeman. Greengrass took the same flight to Berlin.

The not-so-young Berlin Golden Bear winner is known for his authentic approach to filming, which is why he was asked to take over as director of the series.

Paul has a sense of humor that is unique to English men.

Along the way, the two quickly became acquainted.

Since establishing a relationship with Collins, Daniel is very familiar with Berlin's Tegel Airport, got off the plane, picked up his luggage familiarly, and walked out of the West Gate.

The crew's car was already waiting here, but Daniel wouldn't go with him.

In front of the crew's Mercedes was a red Porsche, and Collins drove the door down and waved at him.

Paul frowned and got into the car, and Daniel followed Collins' car.

"Around the Barbersburg Film Factory. Phil happens to have a house where your assistant comes over and can take care of you. ”

Daniel found that Collins drove better than him, and that he was breezy and smooth.

"What about you? You're not coming to stay with me? ”

"I'm going back to Stuttgart. I can come and accompany you on the weekend. ”

Leaning on the back of the saddle, Daniel often breathed a sigh of relief, he and Collins, I don't know when they got along like an old husband and wife, and there was no exaggerated hug and excitement when they met. I don't cherish the time I have together, but I just make life a habit.

They haven't been together for a long time.

Daniel knows his own business, although he has never been more than 40 years old in his two lives combined, but the first twenty years have passed twice, and it is normal to easily wear off the freshness. But Collins seems to be happy with all this, and sometimes Daniel has to wonder if it is because of this mode of getting along that the two of them are extremely less together and more apart. But the relationship has been maintained until now.

Fortunately, the two are in a cramped car, and they won't feel embarrassed even if they don't talk, which may also be a way to get along.

……

Daniel's first day on the set didn't officially start working, but he needed to do action and driving training, although similar training, he was actually quite experienced, but most of the memories have passed a long time, Paul is a director who strives for authenticity. He demanded that Daniel himself drive the car to complete the stunt of 360-degree turns.

When communicating with the filmmaker about this issue, Paul had just been identified as the director of "Spy 2", and he made this request.

Kusa refused without even thinking about it.

Drag racing, driving stunts these skills. It is completely different from martial arts, and it is the most risky thing, and generally speaking, the price of an action double engaged in similar work is higher than that of other stand-ins.

Paul seems to care completely about Daniel's influence on the film. He told Universal that he needed an actor who was willing to get on the bus himself. He said that he couldn't make a movie that satisfied him when he knew it was someone else in the car, but he regarded him as the protagonist, which would make him very uncomfortable, and of course he would not be able to make a movie that satisfied him.

At that time, Kusa had already begun to discuss with Universal about changing directors.

At that time, of course, it was impossible to replace Daniel, only the possibility of replacing the director, who won the Berlin Golden Bear but was not well-known in the United States. In the end, it was Daniel who convinced Kusa that the design of "Spy Shadow" itself tended to be realistic, and all the props used in the movie were derived from real things, and there were no delusional spy tools, so this also ensured that the danger would not be too high.

However, the two who fought once before the start of filming were very compatible at the subsequent trade fair.

Paul is a relatively pure director, which may have a lot to do with the fact that he has just come out of the independent film scene, and he once won the audience award at the Sundance International Film Festival, which can be regarded as going to Berlin and then to Hollywood.

Daniel also came in a Porsche today, there is no way, this car is also Fair. Porsh's, this dude is not in Berlin now, his gym is taken care of, and he has gone on holiday to Northern Ireland.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the photographers were all carrying cameras and struggling to walk around.

Seeing this scene, Daniel can also imagine how strict Paul's requirements are, and in order to make the shots more realistic and more documentary-like, he asked all the photographers to use this kind of camera.

After turning around a few times, I saw a familiar face and walked up to say hello.

"Nice to meet you."

Joan. Allen, who plays Pamela in the movie. Randy, the director of the CIA, and she and Bourne eventually work together to debunk the Black Rose Project, and the rivalry with her will be Daniel's first scene, but in the whole movie, it is the last episode, and Paul chooses to shoot the whole story in flashbacks.

Allen is a great actress, and although she is a late bloomer, she has been nominated for an Oscar three times in the last decade.

Franke. Botante benefited from the success of the first part of "Spy" and became well-known in Hollywood, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to be keen on it, and she didn't have a very clear plan for her career, and took on two or three European films, and even a British horror film, which was quite shoddy. However, this kind of thing also depends on the individual, some people want to be successful in their careers, so they naturally actively drill into the camp, and some people go with the flow and only use it as a tool to make a living.

Obviously, Franca is the latter.

The contrast between Alan and Franka is quite stark, which is interesting.

……

What Daniel didn't expect was that the day after he arrived in Berlin, there was an unexpected visitor.

Heath. Ledger!

He has a "Kelly Party" released in March this year, and this lesser-known movie was not originally in Daniel's sight, but he occasionally saw a glimpse of the cast of Tinin, which could not be said to be weak. Ledger, Orlando. Bloom, Jeffrey. Rush, Naomi. Watts are all well-known names.

However, there was no big movement in the release of the movie.

I didn't expect to meet Heath in Berlin. Ledger, the other party also came to the door as a guest.

"I know, you're surprised."

"Indeed." Daniel poured him a glass of water, "Only plain water, I just came in and slept for a night." ”

Heath smiled, "I'm here for you, well, do you remember Machine Pictures?" It's the studio that released "The Pianist", and they handed over a script and asked you to play another actor, but they thought you were unlikely to accept it, and there was too much difference between our coffee spots, and they were afraid that there would be an imbalance. But I read the script, and seriously, I think it's a good script, and I want you to see it. ”

Sighing, Daniel didn't expect the script of "Brokeback Mountain" to be sent to him in this way.

Before the good machine of James. Shams also had a new project for Ann Lee, but then the script was not handed over, and Daniel still thought that Heath. Ledger and Jack. Gyllenhaal was a little more suitable, so didn't think much of it.

This project, for Daniel, is somewhat tasteless and discarded.

It's not that Daniel cares about starring in a gay film, he has a stable girlfriend, and there is no need to care too much about some rumors, but he thinks he is not very suitable for this film, and he can also play the role of Gyllenhaal, but Heath. Ledger's role has more leeway.

Now it seems that the good machine has handed the script to Heath, I am afraid that he is the most satisfactory candidate, James and An Lee, maybe they have already decided on him.

It would be a little inappropriate for him to intervene again, not to mention, he planned to start working after June 2005, so the plan was very slow, and I am afraid there was no such time, he remembered that "Brokeback Mountain" was released in 2005.

"I actually knew the script, and when I worked on "The Pianist", James also gave me a mouth, but I may not be suitable."

Heath was not particularly disappointed.

"Are you running around right now?"

Thinking that last time it was in a bar in Wellington, this time he came to Berlin to find him.

This may be his way of keeping his creative inspiration alive.

"After the last movie, I didn't start a new job, I just went around, you have been in the news a lot, I wanted to talk to you when I was in Los Angeles, but you must be busy, so forget it. When I heard that you were filming in Berlin, I came with me, and after talking to you, I was ready to go for a walk in England. ”

In his previous life, he also had this habit, because there were not many good shows to find the door, and most of his free time was spent painting all over the world, which can be regarded as a way to maintain the freshness of perception.

Hiss is clearly one of those people. (To be continued.) )
