Chapter 45: Pretty Smooth

“Cut!” With Minghella's voice, the whole crew finally relaxed, and looking at his happy expression, you can know that this set of shots must have passed.

"Everyone's worked hard," Minghella said, "now take a 30-minute break." ”

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a few of them whispered a few words of cheer, they were really tired.

"Well done, Sean." A field assistant patted Sean as he passed by.

Sean smiled and didn't speak, but then another gaffer came over and gave him a thumbs up. Well, he just proposed it with the mentality of trying it out, and when Minghella asked out loud, he instinctively or intuitively thought that the male protagonist of this scene could not speak, so he brought it up. Unexpectedly, Minghella not only adopted it, but also thought that the effect was quite good.

"You have a good eye, Sean, it's really your first time acting in a movie." Another voice came to my ears, and then Philip? Seymour? Hoffman's chubby face appeared in front of him with a smile.

Sean leaned back a few points almost subconsciously, and although he reacted in time, Hoffman had already shown a depressed appearance.

"The shooting is over, isn't it like this?" He asked half-jokingly, and Gwyneth, who also came over to greet Sean, immediately burst out laughing when she heard this.

"Of course not, I just ......," Sean gestured a few times, "and was more impressed by "Smelling a Woman." ”

"Well, it seems that in your heart, I have become the spokesperson for this kind of character." Hoffman said right away, his reaction was quite fast, and Gwyneth couldn't help but dazzle.

"If I were to write the screenplay, I would definitely put you together." She said this without laughing, but then realized that something was wrong, so she left without saying hello.

"She's joking, don't take it seriously," Hoffman waved his hand, "but you're really good and you've done a lot of preparation, right?" ”

"Yes, I think you too." Sean laughed, "Xiexie you, Philip - can I call you that?" ”

When Hoffman left, he looked around again, but didn't find Jude? Luo's figure, which seemed to have left early, shrugged his shoulders and left the studio. Came to his trailer, opened the door and entered, looked around, stretched out comfortably, and then sat down on the sofa.

"Hey, Sean, how's it going? It's a good shot, isn't it? Galen also came in at this time, and immediately took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

"It's not bad," Sean took and took a big sip, "It's well prepared, and it doesn't feel like it's that hard to make a movie." ”

"Maybe I should go in and see how heroic you are." Galen said half-jokingly, and then showed a wicked smile, "I just saw the heroine, she's the heroine, right?" It's beautiful, have you ever thought about it...... Well? ”

"Why, in your eyes am I a stallion in heat?" Sean rolled his eyes, "She's at least seven years older than me. ”

"So what, don't think I don't know what you and Miss Mia did in the classroom." Galen let out a "sneer" laugh.

Sean, who was drinking water, almost squirted out, looked at him with strange eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"I walked home that day, and halfway through it I realized that I had forgotten something, so I went back to school, and then I saw something outside the classroom that I shouldn't have seen." Galen laughed, smug at that.

"So...... Neil they ......" Sean with a glimmer of hope.

"Of course, you know, you should understand, Sean, it is every male student's dream to go to his own beautiful high school female teacher." Galen spread his hands, "Also, you often don't go back to your apartment at night during this time, and I can completely imagine where you spend the night, so, let's be honest, do you have any ideas." ”

"Alright, Galen, today is the first day of shooting, I don't have time to think about it that much." Sean had to put his hands up to stop the conversation.

But then again, Gwyneth? Paltrow does have an attractive charm, and if you want to say pretty, she is not as good as Jennifer and Naomi, but she has a pretty good temperament. But Sean's attention was not on this, he found something that he didn't expect, and the first thing to show himself was Philip? Seymour? Hoffman.

Before coming to the crew, Sean had already anticipated many scenes, he played the leading role in this movie as an almost complete newcomer, even with Minghella's strong support, there will still be people who look at him unpleasantly, not to mention that there are still people in the crew who have bad intentions towards him. Although he tried his best before this and gained the favor of some people, there are some people who can't be reached, and that is the other leading actors of the film.

Both Frederick and PR Leyson reminded him of this. Most of these actors started from playing supporting roles, and only after having a certain amount of qualifications and accumulation did they win the leading role, like Sean, who is not very famous, but plays the leading role in such a movie, there are really very few, if they don't have any ideas, it is absolutely impossible.

In Sean's opinion, Hoffman is the most likely to have this idea, he is already thirty years old, but he has been playing various supporting roles, and even played a high school student in "Smell a Woman" at the age of 25, until "Uninhibited Night" began to be well received. But now he still plays a supporting role in "The Genius Ripley", and it is unlikely to say that he has no opinion of Sean in his heart.

And Jude? Lowe is different, he participated in the performance of a youth musical troupe at the age of 12, and dropped out of high school at the age of 17 to become a professional actor, which is quite similar to Sean. And he became famous early, although he was in the UK, he was also invited by Minghella to play the role of Dick, and he did not have much conflict of interest with Sean.

I don't know Weishenme, but now Hoffman has a good impression of him, while Jude is very cold. Before the start of filming, Sean tried to say hello to Jude after coming to the set, but the other party looked like he was ignoring him and responded very perfunctorily.

"Don't worry about it so much, just be careful with yourself." Sean said this to himself, although until now, Hoberg and Chiccarelli have not made any more moves, but they will definitely not continue like this.

Soon, thirty minutes of rest passed, and under Galen's reminder, Sean entered the studio one step ahead of the others.

The first thing to do is to touch up the makeup, and the stylist's makeup for the characters is targeted, for example, Sean has dyed his hair a lot lighter, and the lines of his facial features are more obvious, which looks more masculine, but after wearing glasses, he has a bookish atmosphere. In this case, in order to keep the shooting to achieve the effect that the director wants, it is natural that you need to pay attention to it all the time, and it is not very troublesome.

After getting this done, and reviewing the subsequent huge book, Sean came to the first floor of the studio with doubts, and then he was stunned.

In the middle of the first floor is a large pool, which has been filled with water at the moment, about 500 square yards of area, and there is a laughing sailboat parked on the side. The field foreman was directing his assistants to place various equipment and hung a green curtain around them, no doubt in preparation for the later stage.

"I thought I was going to shoot on location." Sean said so.

"On the ground? How can it be? There was a laugh from the side, and Hoffman immediately appeared in front of him, "You don't think that the shots of sailing in the sea are all taken on location, Sean?" ”

"Hmm...... I had seen a drawing of this shot from the art director, and it was said that a considerable part of the shot was going to Italy for on-site shooting, so I was a little confused when I learned that I was going to shoot this part from the venue manager. Sean explained.

"In this case, we don't usually shoot on location because ...... It's too much trouble. Hoffman thought for a moment and explained for him, "You know, at the seaside, the waves are relatively undulating, and if the boat is too small, the stability will definitely not be high. You can think about how much headache it would be for the director and producer to have the boat being filmed and the boat being filmed constantly swaying up and down due to the undulations of the waves. ”

"So building the set indoors and adding the footage in post-production saves you money and time." Sean continued.

"That's right," Hoffman nodded, "Of course, if you need to, you can also go to the pier to shoot, such as the shrimp fishing scene in "Forrest Gump", except for the pure sea shots, which were all filmed in San Diego. In addition, if you invest enough, you can learn from Cameron to build a boat in Mexico. ”

Listening to this slightly funny words, Sean couldn't help but laugh, and had a little more affection for him.

"Alright, let's go change our clothes, and we'll be on board later." Hoffman patted him on the shoulder and walked to the dressing room.

"Philip." Sean suddenly stopped him, but when the other party turned around and looked at him with an inquiring gaze, he didn't say anything, and finally just shrugged: "Xiexie." ”

"Just don't confuse me with the character." He teased, then went into the locker room.

Sean scratched his chin, sighed, and went into his locker room.

The next scene takes place on Dick's private yacht, Ripley, Dick, Freddy, Maggie together, Dick is naturally closer to Freddy, who is also a rich child, plus Freddy's morning taunt, and there has been a previous incident of Ripley stealing his clothes, which was originally a condescending attitude to look at Ripley's Dick, and he is more and more inattentive to him.

Maggie reassures him, but Freddy takes the opportunity to sneer at him, further distorting Ripley's psyche.

Since it was filming on a boat, it was natural to take off his clothes, and Sean was still a little worried, and it was somewhat uncomfortable to take off his clothes in front of so many people. However, after changing his clothes, he immediately put his mind at ease, that is, Jude and Hoffman, who were about to go into the water, were wearing boxer shorts, but he still had a shirt while reading, and although Gwyneth was wearing a swimsuit, she had wrapped a bath towel around the outside early, and Minghella was still very thoughtful.
