Chapter 825: The Last Samurai (Part II)

In the movie industry, the protagonist is the protagonist in the film, he is an important embodiment of the theme of the film, and he is always in the main position of contradictions and conflicts, so the protagonist's scenes are often the most important and the most brilliant.

In the highly commercial Hollywood, the definition of the protagonist has been quantified, and there are certain rules for how long the protagonist is given in a movie and how many lines are given in total. As long as it is a big production of a big company, even a big director like Spielberg or James, it will be filmed under the supervision of the producer and in strict accordance with the requirements of the script.

Although such a system is suspicious of the director's creation, it ensures that the characters are vivid and vivid to the greatest extent, caters to the audience's viewing habits, can effectively control the quality of the film, and is not easy to make some films that do not know what to do.

When the crew moved to Tokyo for filming, although Sun Ziming still gave Tom Cruise so many shots and lines in accordance with Hollywood rules, he no longer restricted Kenbiandu's free play. Qian Biandu is certainly enjoyable, giving full play to his acting skills, and playing against him? Cruise has tasted all the hardships, performing with all his strength, and he can't compete with the Japanese actor, and he keeps being washed by Sun Ziming with saliva, and he keeps reshooting repeatedly.

It's strange to say that Sun Ziming thundered every day on the set, and he only had to greet all the female family members of Cruise, but the crew began to get along again. Every time he got angry, he even began to bet on the crew members on how many shots he had to shoot to satisfy the tyrant. And the iron-clad dealer is the gang leader Guangzai in everyone's eyes.

"Shit! You're so ruthless, you actually bet a thousand dollars!

To remand or not to be charged? The more you earn, the more you have to press. Jesse, how about betting five thousand this time? ”

While scolding and losing money, Hikari also tempted Jesse Okasao, a makeup artist who had won the bet, to keep them betting. This usually swaggering American girl is an old acquaintance of Guang Tsai and Lu Huiguang, and has been working with Sun Ziming for seven or eight years, and is a member of his Hollywood team.

'Shhh Well, let's bet another two thousand and bet on the next one at least ten times! ’

Tom Cruise, who was touching up his makeup, was flushed with anger and wanted to hack the bastards to death with the prop knife next to him.

Although Jesse Okasaku is not very pretty, she exudes a strange style, which stems from the confidence brought by her excellent makeup skills, but it does not mean how sophisticated she is and how much she can please these big-name stars. She can get to where she is today, one is by technique, and the other is by luck, who asked Sun Ziming to shoot "Home/alone", she was his makeup artist.

Seeing that Cruise was so angry that his hands were trembling, Jesse Gangsaku, who was very arrogant, realized that he had offended someone, and hurriedly whispered comforting: "Cruise, this is a gift from God to you!" Believe me, as long as you resist the pressure of Mr. Kenbian Wataru, you can become a Hanks-style acting school.

You know? I was on the set of Forrest Gump, and Hanks and Nicole were the ones the tyrant scolded the most. Now you see, one of them took the little golden man, and the other ....... ”

Speaking of this, no matter how big a grin he was, Jesse also knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

At the mention of Hanks and his ex-wife, Cruise sighed with guilt, but there was nothing he could do about this girl. Who made this girl China Ming's person, participated in the shooting of all his Hollywood movies, and often went to his manor to eat.

Jesse, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, stopped talking and quickly helped Cruise with his makeup, and then watched him recite his lines with a little sympathy. Speaking of which, Jesse is not a kind person, and she also has a share of the derailment incident that caused the whole United States to boil at the beginning, because the makeup artist of those two photos is this smug Texas girl.

The reason is also very simple, the makeup artist who has won a little gold man in Hollywood has a weekly salary of only 30,000 US dollars, but in Sun Ziming's crew, a makeup artist of Jesse's level can get hundreds of thousands of bonuses for a box office blockbuster movie alone, let alone invest some money. For Jesse and her behind-the-scenes staff, China Ming is their God, and whoever harms his interests will damage their interests!

originally felt that he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, coupled with Jesse's stimulation, Cruise took the next one and shot it gloriously sixteen times, and in the end, Sun Ziming broke two small speakers on the side, so that the crew packed up their things and went back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel to take a shower and eating a dinner like chewing wax, the frustrated Cruise saw Xu Qinhao and Bong Junhao and a few young Koreans, and when Sun Ziming ate and immediately put down the tableware, followed him away, and hurriedly threw down the knife and fork to follow. When he took this movie, in addition to sharpening his acting skills, he also wanted to learn directing.

More than a dozen people entered the elevator, and when they arrived at the floor where Sun Ziming lived, they found that several Japanese actors, Ken Bento Wataru and Hiroyuki Sanada, were also waiting outside the door. The filming has not been going well in the past few days, and everyone can see that it is not only that Cruise is not in the right state, but also that Sun Ziming seems to be too fastidious.

Sun Ziming's achievements in movies are too high, these people don't dare to doubt it too much, and they think that this is the master's serious responsibility for his works, but why did Cruise fall off the standard? Is there a way to adjust it? For these actors who make a career out of acting, the stones of his mountains can attack jade, and while China teaches students, they also want to hear it.

Entering the room, Sun Ziming made a pot of tea as usual, and motioned to Xu Qinhao and Bong Junhao to take out the questions they had collected.

"Sir, Mr. Cruise is a good actor, but why is it suddenly so bad? Especially today, when he had his first conversation with the samurai chieftain, Mr. Cruise looked like he couldn't act. ”

Tom Cruise's handsome face suddenly turned red, as if his face was on fire, this was the worst day he had encountered in more than ten years of filming, and he couldn't find that subtle feeling of performance.

Sun Ziming took a sip of tea and didn't answer the question, but looked at Qian Biandu next to him, "Biandu-kun, how did you feel when you performed with Cruise?" ”

"Hey, I think he seems to have a kind of fear, as if he has lost his self-confidence, and the whole person has become very reserved."

"Good!Bian Du-kun, you feel very right, you will become a great actor."

praised Ken Biandu, the best actor in Japan, Sun Ziming turned his face, looked at Cruise and said, "Cruise, your problem is in psychology, not your strength." You're used to acting in some youth idol movies, and even if you have a wonderful performance in "Rain Man", it's just a flash of inspiration for you. ”

Sun Ziming paused, organized the language, and continued: "This is not your problem alone, but the problem of Hollywood as a whole. The result of high commercialization is to make actors typed, turned into products on the assembly line, and manufactured in different categories, and make actors lose their spirituality.

You became famous too fast, debuted at nineteen, became famous at twenty-one, and became a Hollywood superstar at twenty-three. If you precipitate well after acting in "Born on the Fourth of July", you may be able to improve your acting skills rapidly, but unfortunately you immediately played "Thunder Ambition" again, repeating yourself again and again, and rigidizing your performance in the same genre. ”

Everyone was silent, Tom Cruise is the most diligent among Hollywood stars, but he didn't expect that behind the diligence was to be so evaluated by this master.

"Alright, let's go back to the question. In addition to the question that Bian Dujun said, there is another reason, and that is the competitiveness in your heart.

You are too competitive, always thinking about playing with Bian Dujun, thinking about not falling behind, but as a result, you become more and more restrained, but you lose your own characteristics.

What is the word?"

Sun Ziming couldn't think of it for a while, and Xu Qinhao next to him hurriedly reminded: "Too hard? ”

"Yes, yes, that's the word!"

Sun Ziming looked at the young man with appreciation, no wonder he would become the king of Korean literary films in the future, adding: "Have you seen Morgan Freeman and Fa in "Shawshank"? Both of them are very restrained and unassuming, and sometimes they can perform the roles vividly just by their eyes and small movements. And when the two play each other, they completely blend together, without the so-called protagonists and supporting roles, so that the audience is completely immersed in the story itself, and follows their performances with joy, anger and sorrow. ”

mentioned Brother Fa's unlucky bastard, Sun Ziming suddenly sighed, "Morgan's took the little golden man, in fact, Fa should also take it, it's a pity!" ”

Everyone also sighed that the little golden man of the Oscar Best Picture of that year is still placed at the door of the film school, becoming a symbol of Hollywood's declaration of war on racial discrimination.

"Sun Sang, that may not be a kind of regretful beauty! There are Oscars every year, but tragic heroes can be remembered forever. ”

Qian Biandu's sigh couldn't help but make Sun Ziming stroke his palms and smile, Oriental thinking is indeed more philosophical. Indeed, as he said, although Fa Ge cannot become the top star in Hollywood, he is recognized as the top actor in Hollywood, a world-class great actor, and the king of acting skills who did not win the Oscar.

……

Tom Cruise, who found the problem, after a night of thinking, began to perform the next day with ease, although there was still the phenomenon of being suppressed by Qian Biandu, but it could also make people see his independent existence in the camera.

At this time, Sun Ziming called Qian Biandu over and told him to restrain his aura a little.

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, Cruise is in good shape now, we need to make the whole picture cohesive and unobtrusive."

"Hey!"

As Ken Biandu's performance tightened slightly, Tom Cruise's performance immediately became smoother. When the two play against each other, they can let the onlookers see the collision and integration of the two civilizations.

"Cut! good, Cruise, you accentuate your tone a little more, and you want to show the dead brains of the Prussians, OK?"

"Ok", Sun Zi Mindo praised twice, and Tom Cruise's confidence returned.

These people can't see the doorway, and Guang Zai, who is busy collecting bets next to him, has been a gang boss, although he doesn't understand these performances, but after a little thought, he knows what his boss is doing.

That's right, these are all Sun Tzu Ming's tricks, just to make the crew want to be immortal/want to die, so that everyone believes: he is still the genius director of China Ming, who regards movies as life, and does not want to be a Freemason leader at all.

This is also something that can't be helped, Freemasonry is developing too fast, and its strength is too strong, so everyone has to believe that his grandson Ming has no ambitions, and Freemasonry is just a Chinese mutual aid organization, without too much political ambition, and everyone does not need to be too jealous.

To convince others of this, it is useless to rely on yourself to say it, you have to rely on the people who work with him to say it. Only the people who work with him say that his grandson is still addicted to movies, can it be shown that he has no ambition!
