"Pete, pay attention to your expression, it's true to be greedy for money and selfish, but this is not the whole of the character!"

"I kind of understand, you've been playing a villain for the past two years, you're used to it, right?"

"If you can't change it, then I'll have to change people!"

"It's better this time......"

"You remember, your character, like Dustin's, is a combination of contradictions. He's a 'half-idiot, half-genius', and you've been temporarily covered up by greed for money and selfishness......"

"Okay, that's all for today, everyone rest early and continue tomorrow. Pete, I'll give you a night, and if you still can't figure out the character's mind, I'll have someone buy you a plane ticket to Los Angeles tomorrow. ”

"What? Too short for a night? How long has it been since the script was in your hands? You haven't read the character's heart yet? ”

"Come to my room tonight, and I'll give you a good analysis!"

……

The crew has now arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the scenes in Los Angeles have been filmed, and the funeral and testament scenes have been filmed in the past two days, and Dustin Hoffman's Raymond will appear tomorrow.

Although he didn't have his own role, Dustin has been staying in the crew and wants to get to know Chen Ping'an, the director.

Looking at Chen Ping'an's scolding of Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman had a strange feeling, and found that he couldn't see through this yellow-skinned and black-eyed Oriental man more and more, oh no, who should be the Oriental director.

At first, he was very dissatisfied with the crew's delay in starting the film, and Chen Ping'an's long-term absence from coming to the United States, thinking that this was Chen Ping'an's disrespect and lack of attention to the movie. After coming, he and the crew members laughed and laughed, and there was no such unsmiling style as other directors, this attitude was simply treating filming as child's play.

But after the official start of filming, he found that Chen Ping'an, who talked and laughed with Pitt and Julia in private, had completely changed. Although the attitude is still kind. But the seriousness of filming was felt by every staff member of the crew.

There were two white staff members who were hanging out and procrastinating. Chen Ping'an ordered them twice, and the two of them still went their own way. Obviously, he didn't take this Oriental man in his eyes, even if he was the investor and director of this play.

As a result, the two staff members were dismissed. After being fired, the two were still dissatisfied, and wanted to find Chen Ping'an to break the reason - they used their fists and feet to break them, but they were beaten and kicked by the dwarf bull, and begged for mercy again and again, so they let them go.

Dustin saw it clearly, whether it was firing those two men. When he was still beating those two people, the expression of this Oriental didn't change much, as if he was just dealing with a trivial matter, which didn't affect his mood. is even in the mood to give Julia a play.

This director is not simple!

"What do you think?"

As soon as Dustin looked up, he realized that Chen Ping'an didn't know when he came to his side. He smiled, "You're a very strange person. ”

"Strange? Where is it strange? ”

"I can't say it, it's not the same director I've met. I'm sure the film will be completed in three months, but are you sure you had enough footage shot some time ago? ”

Dustin is a veteran actor, has won an Oscar, shot many movies, and worked with many directors. But. In his eyes, Chen Ping'an is an alternative.

Acting and directing is a common principle at home and abroad.

Dustin doesn't want to be a director now, though. But over the years, years of experience as an actor have given him a certain understanding of filming. Chen Ping'an filmed a few days ago, and there were not many shots, unlike other directors, two-hour movies will shoot ten times or even more films.

Shoot a lot for post-editing and choose the most suitable clip. But Chen Ping'an didn't.

Chen Ping'an's filming was very simple, almost completely according to the script. Saying that this shot is just this shot, only can be ok. I will never reshoot some other shots as a pre-production need for post-editing.

If it were someone else, he might have questioned the other party's professional process and whether the post-production work of the film could be completed. But Chen Ping'an...... Dustin also wanted to doubt, but Chen Ping'an's filming attitude these days, as well as that confidence and ease, made him unforgettable.

It's as if every shot of the film is in his head, a complete future cut of footage.

Leave no stone unturned...... Will this work?

"You don't think I have money to spend, do you?" Chen Ping'an shrugged, "I've been preparing for so long, and you've also been preparing for so long, and I also told the reporter that this will be a classic movie that will go down in history, do you think I'll be fooling around?" ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, Pete is a newcomer, and the role of Charlie is difficult for him to understand for a while, and when filming in the future, he still needs you to bring him more."

"I think that guy is good, at least handsome, right?"

In terms of external conditions, Brad Pitt just does not have Tom Cruise's popularity and fame, and Pitt is not inferior in appearance, and he plays the villain, and Charlie's greed for money and selfishness, shrewdness and dexterity of his hands are drenched in due diligence, which is evil and bad, which Tom does not have.

The problem is acting, Pete's current acting skills are definitely not as good as Tom's, and the role of Charlie is not purely treacherous, there is a kind side in his heart, but he is contaminated with the desirelessness of the world, blinds his mind, and his yearning for money covers up the goodness in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have been moved by Raymond in the end, and his family affection broke out of being surrounded by desirelessness and regained his brotherhood.

This is the problem, Pete's current acting skills can't deduce the kind heart that is greedy for money and selfish.

Dustin's change in Chen Ping'an is also because of this, because of Chen Ping'an's high requirements for actors. The high requirements of the director may not guarantee the success of a play; But any successful movie is inseparable from the director's high requirements for actors.

"Tonight I will deeply analyze the character of Charlie for him, Charlie after your brothers meet, there must be a change, and this change is quiet, and even he has not found out about it, so as to fit the character of Charlie."

"But it's very difficult."

"No matter how big you are, you have to do this, the movie I'm afraid of must not be casual."

Dustin smiled, "I take back my words." You're not only a strange director, but also an exciting director, and I'm looking forward to the day it comes out. When are you going to release it? ”

"It's Christmas this year."

"Christmas? Have you negotiated a schedule with 20th Century Fox? ”

Although the United States has fought more than Hong Kong, there are no secrets in the film industry, and many people know that Dark Horse International and 20th Century Fox have a close relationship, so even Dustin thought that this "Rain Man" would be released on Fox in the future.

Christmas is a good schedule, and being able to win this schedule shows that 20th Century Fox is also very optimistic about this movie.

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an's answer disappointed him: "I haven't talked to them yet." ”

"Isn't it! Then are you sure it will be released at Christmas? ”

"It's not a certainty, it's a guarantee. Don't look at me like that, trust me, there's no better movie to be released this Christmas than this one. ”

The award for Best Documentary Feature Film is far from satisfying Chen Ping'an's appetite, and compared with Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor and Actress, the weight of this award is too light.

The movie "Rain Man" has long been proven in later generations. Chen Ping'an did not completely copy it, and also made slight modifications, focusing on enhancing Julia's role. It's not because Julia works hard when rolling the sheets, which makes him fluttery, he is very clear in this regard, and he will not affect his film because of anything.

This was done just to highlight Dustin Hoffman's role as Raymond, an autistic patient, so as to be more in line with the main tone of the United States at the end of the year.

Susanna, the heroine played by Julia, is added by him to a little money-worshipping tendency, although she is very kind and loves Charlie, but she also pursues money. separated from Charlie, also because Charlie failed to inherit the inheritance, the company encountered problems in operation, and because of a quarrel caused by a trivial matter, the angry two broke up unhappily.

Fortunately, Susanna's money-worshipping tendency is not strict, and after breaking up with Charlie, in the face of the pursuit of the rich, she couldn't let go of her relationship with Charlie, so she found Charlie again, and the two reconciled, but Suzanne always felt that something was missing...... Money.

If Cha Li wants to get his own inheritance and save the company in crisis, he can only get the custody of his brother Raymond. Suzanne was in a good mood when she found out and wanted to help Charlie. As long as she succeeds, she will not only be able to get her love, but also be able to regain her wealth.

Because of the existence of these two people, Raymond's role in the play is even more important. In contact with Raymond, both of them were moved by each other's kindness, simplicity and autistic people's stubbornness.

Charlie, who has always been cold to the concept of family affection, was deeply touched, and his resentment towards his father also melted. The Raymond in front of him is his brother who is connected by flesh and blood, witnessing his family's deep love for him, and Charlie's feelings for Raymond also make Suzanne see Charlie's inner world, which also touches the kindness in her heart, and the love between the two is deeper and stronger.

In the end, of course, everyone was happy, Charlie failed to win custody, but he no longer cared about the inheritance, and he found a treasure more valuable than the inheritance - brotherhood.

Suzanne also truly realizes the meaning of true love, and no longer cares whether Charlie has money or whether she can get an inheritance. She just wants to protect her love with Charlie for a long time, and she also hopes that Raymond can stay by their side, which is also Charlie's biggest worry.

In this movie, Chen Ping'an gave a lot of hope and condensed all his efforts. Unlike "Ghost Love", "Rain Man" not only has to box office, but also will hit next year's Oscars. He is confident that his changes to the script will only add color, be closer to reality, and be in line with the upcoming disaster in the second half of the year, and definitely not inferior to the original book.

There is only one variable, and that is that the director is him, a Chinese-American. (To be continued) R655
