Chapter 745: Leonardo
In Paris, Duke filmed mainly the scene between the male protagonist played by Leonardo and the dream builder Adrian. Johnson and Michael? Kane was already waiting here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Except for the location scenes in the snowy mountains in Canada, Paris is already the last stop of the crew overseas.
Because there were enough rehearsals in the early preparations, after reversing the jet lag, the crew quickly entered the filming state.
However, there are certain troubles in filming in Paris, Duke needs to shoot some explosion scenes, but the Paris authorities do not buy his account, and strictly prohibit the crew from using explosives. William's team did a lot of experiments, using high-pressure nitrogen to complete the effect of the explosion.
During the preliminary preparations, the crew tested for several weeks, and the actual shooting effect was also very good, you must know that the two leading actors were located in the epicenter of the explosion, but they were not affected at all during the shooting, and even the paper cups on the table did not move.
In high-speed slow motion shot by six cameras from different angles, the explosion fragments float in the air like suspended objects, which is enough to create an extremely shocking visual impact.
Charlize who is promoting the World Cup in South Africa after filming the rivalry between Scarlett and Leonardo? Theron also arrived in Paris on time to report to Duke and the crew.
Duke rented an old hotel in Paris to photograph Charlize? The scene where Theron's character jumps off a building.
Of course, this is not done on a high-rise basis, the shooting location is on the first floor, and then using the lens misalignment and editing methods, it is easy to achieve the desired effect in the film.
Outside the hotel, on the periphery of the crew, Scarlett clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Charlize sitting on the windowsill? Theron, pouting slightly.
What did she say to Tina, who was standing together? Fei said, "During the morning shoot, she stabbed me. ”
Tina? Faye turned her head and looked at Scarlett in a little surprise. I don't quite understand what she meant, the scene in the morning is when she enters the dream of Leonardo's character, and then is killed by the character in her subconscious......
Scarlett's right hand drooped. Gently rubbing the position under her chest line, "I don't know if she did it on purpose, when she stabbed me with a prop knife, she used a bit more force, and I still hurt ...... to this day"
"Uh......"
Tina? Fei didn't know what to say. If the other party is intentional or not, no one can say for sure, and even if she really intends it, in that case, no one can say anything.
Looking at Charlize on the windowsill? Theron, Scarlett was still muttering something, probably trying to find a chance to return it.
It's just that when the front shooting began, she immediately closed her mouth, and Scarlett knew very well, whatever the reason. None of them can affect Duke's work.
The two cameras are aimed at Leonardo and Charlize in front of the two opposite windows in a diagonal and non-intersecting manner. Theron, Mike, who was used for the live recording, also slowly descended from above to the upper edge of the window.
Leonardo walked to the window and saw Charlize sitting on the windowsill opposite? Theron, surprised, asked, "Honey, what are you doing?" ”
"Let's come along." Charlize? Theron shook his feet from time to time.
"You go back into the house first." Leonardo gestured for persuasion as he said, "Okay?" Back in the house, hurry! ”
"No!" Charlize? Theron refused without hesitation. As the lighting team adjusted the lighting on the scene, her face gradually disappeared into shadows, "I'm going to jump, I want you to jump with me!" ”
"Nope. I won't jump. Leonardo shook his head slightly, and then said, "Honey, now you listen to me, if you jump now, you won't wake up." Do you understand? Rather, they will die! So go back into the house, okay? ”
"Please!" He continued, "You go back to the house, and we'll have a good talk." ”
"We've talked enough!"
Talking, Charlize? Theron kicked off one of his heels, and the shoe flew down onto the green mat laid under the window.
"Sally!" Leonardo immediately frowned while his eyes widened.
"Step out of here, or I'll jump off now......"
Charlize? Before Theron could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Duke's shout, "cut! ”
He beckoned to Leonardo, who jumped straight from the window and walked in front of Duke in a few big steps.
"My problem?" He asked, pointing to himself.
"Frowning, glaring......" Duke replayed the footage he had just taken, pointed to one of Leonardo's movements, and said unceremoniously, "I mentioned to you that the three biggest flaws in your performance appeared two at the same time!" ”
Leonardo lifted his chin, looked at the picture frozen by Duke, and nodded, "I'll try to correct it." ”
Duke waved his hand at him, "Go back and touch up your makeup, go on." ”
As early as a few years ago, Duke had asked Leonardo about his three biggest problems when performing – frowning, glaring, and growling......
These are three very obvious questions, and the most direct consequence is that all the characters played, in some ways, became Leonardo? DiCaprio.
Knew Leonardo from filming "Saving Private Ryan" in 1995? DiCaprio to now, Duke knows very well that Leonardo's acting skills are definitely not bad, maybe he lacks some talent, but every film he starred in can see that he is working very hard.
Among actors of similar rank, Leonardo must be the one who works hard.
Duke still remembers that he was shocked when he watched "Django Unchained", Leonardo accidentally slapped the glass shards on his hands full of blood when filming, and normal people who would not subconsciously look at his hands or scream, but Leonardo didn't, he continued to act calmly, and improvised to use his bloody hands to rub on the face of the female black slave, fully starring a bloodthirsty and ruthless southern slave.
Nowadays, Hollywood, and even the entire North American film industry, often put Brad? Pete, Johnny? Depp and Leonardo? The three of DiCaprio are compared to each other, and the three have commonalities, they are all the top superstars in Hollywood, and they all want to win the Best Actor Golden Man, but they are not treated well by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In fact, as long as these three people can maintain their status, they will inevitably be recognized by the academy in the future, there are too many such examples in the past, and the Oscar performance award has never been determined by the role and acting skills.
But of the three, Brad? Pete and Leonardo? DiCaprio Road is all very wide, Johnny? Depp is different, once there is an accident in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, it will not be long before he falls from the superstar position.
It also has to do with the different styles of the three men, to a certain extent, Brad? Pitt is a yuppie route, which is related to his image, and acting a ruffian will have audience popularity; Johnny? Depp's acting skills jump back and forth between gloomy and off-line, and his span is very large, but neither direction is mainstream, and it has obvious characteristics in its own right; Leonardo is a typical academic acting, the kind that pays attention to one move and one style, and is most suitable for Hollywood-style protagonist building.
It's just that Leonardo's thoughts about the Olympics over the years are too obvious, and he offended the old man of the academy when he was young, so it is not easy to win the award.
However, in Duke's opinion, among the three people, Leonardo must have the best chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actor first.
Johnny? Depp may become the first to fall, as long as he is not mainstream, if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a bit windy, I am afraid it will not be long before he leaves the mainstream film industry.
In fact, he is better than Tom once was? Cruise is more reliant on one series.
The former Depp can be said to have left a deep impression on Duke, leaving the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and creating a tragedy of six consecutive pounces on a big production, and it is not the kind of small pounce, it is a super pounce that can make investors spew blood.
Leonardo's performance in "Inception", Duke is quite satisfied, except for one point, he is really not suitable for acting in action scenes, and the action scenes are much worse than his image and acting skills.
Fortunately, there is also a kind of existence called a stunt double in this world.
After filming Charlleze? Theron and Leonardo? DiCaprio's rival play, where Duke temporarily handed over the rest of the crew to Anna? Prinz is in charge, and he takes Tina with him? Faye walked into the hotel, and Jamie, who was in charge of Warner Bros. publicity and distribution? Johnson just arrived in Paris from Los Angeles today.
He came here not only to visit the class to understand the filming progress, but also to discuss some publicity matters with Duke.
In the café, Duke will Tina? Fey's Apple custom machine was placed in Jamie? Johnson, he said, "I think we have to pay attention to the publicity on the end device. ”
It's 2010 and the penetration rate of smartphones is quite high, and the number of mobile users on social networking sites such as Instant Share and Twitter is gradually surpassing that of PCs.
"The rise and popularization of new media represented by the Internet, mobile phones and various PDA devices have transformed consumers in contemporary society from passive recipients to producer-consumers who can directly participate in knowledge production activities such as content and information!"
Not like Jamie though? Johnson is so professional, but Duque is talking about the big picture: "The monopoly of information production and control of the flow of information in the past is being replaced by a more democratic and pluralistic form of mass participatory media." This transformation has not only resulted in richer media content and more complex voices, but also provided an opportunity for a community of like-minded people and a collective identity and wisdom to coalesce. ”
He said solemnly, "These are all aspects that must be paid attention to in the promotion of the film. ”
"I know!" Jamie? Johnson nodded, "Warner Bros. is also developing a targeted publicity strategy based on your suggestions. ”
Duke knew very well that if Inception wanted to be more successful, it had to make a fuss about publicity. (To be continued.) )
