"Srian, I want you to panic a little more, because here your character is completely unexpected, this inconspicuous room has enemies in addition to a soft woman, and your character is not a strong character, so the panic should be more obvious. But at the same time, your character is a soldier who has received military training, and he is a soldier who has been on the battlefield, so you can't move too much to prevent ......," Minghella said to a clear-eyed young man in the open space outside the house.

Speaking of which, this Northern Army soldier who was chosen by Minghella to play the role of a shot by Sarah is called Srian? Murphy is also a well-known actor, starring him in the alternative zombie movie "28 Days of Shock" released in the UK in November last year.

Sean was very sad, not because Minghella spent money on such a plot to make up for it, although he thought that Srian? Murphy's name is familiar, but it's just familiar. Sean is sad that if he had thought of this movie earlier, he would definitely have persuaded Vladimir to invest, it is said that this horror thriller that sold well in Britain cost only 8 million, and the box office will definitely not be low with the film market of Britain and the United States.

It seems that after the new round of financing is completed, it is necessary to go to the UK to find some scripts with low investment to try, and Sean remembers that there seem to be some zombie movies in the UK that are very good.

The topic came back to the present, after three or four days of shooting, it has now progressed to the zuihou stage, because 60% of the more difficult plots are between Inman and Sarah, and Sean and Natalie cooperate quite well, so the progress is quite fast. Of course, the relationship between him and Natalie is still the same, and it can be inferred from the simple words before that Natalie has heard of Sean's playboy name, and she has always been labeled as a clean self-pro in Hollywood, and she is a Jew born in Israel, and her prospects are immeasurable, so she naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with Sean.

This is really depressing news, but what makes Sean most depressed now is that he has never been able to express his opinion to Minghella when the reshoot is about to be completed.

After three or four test shoots, Minghella announced the official start of the test shoot after Murphy and Sean were in shape. After that, there were six NG times, and each time it was a shout stop without warning, although the performance of both of them was not particularly good, but it would be a pity, but the shouting stop did not explain the reason, and it was several times, it was a little strange, Minghella is not Wheeler who likes to shoot 99 times, and he has been frowning, as if he is annoyed by Weishenme.

Finally, when it was time for NG again, he called the assistant director, assistant assistant, as well as Sean, Murphy, and Natalie.

"I've always felt that there is something lacking here, what do you think?" He asked, and looked specifically at Sean and them, "You can talk about it, too, even if it's just your feelings." ”

"Maybe we can make the emotions of the characters a little more intense?"

"Sarah can do that, but Inman can't."

"Yes, Inman can't, but the soldier can."

Everyone talked about it, and even Natalie made an opinion: "Maybe Sarah can collapse after the outburst to show the ups and downs of the character?" ”

But Sean never spoke, he kept hesitating whether to take this opportunity to say it.

After hearing these opinions, Minghella spun around twice in place, and then, as if thinking of something, then waved his hand to show that he was ready to continue.

Seeing that the opportunity was about to slip out of his hand, Sean, who was still thinking about the words, finally spoke: "Tony, have you ever thought about filming this plot as it is?" ”

"Leave it as it is? weishenme？ Minghella was a little surprised.

"Because it's sharp, the ups and downs of the characters are also very large, and it's easier to hit the weakest part of the audience's heart," Sean said quickly, "Let them better understand the obsession of the male protagonist who wants to go back." ”

Minghella frowned suddenly: "The death of a baby is too heavy to shake the hearts of the audience, too much heaviness will only make the audience uncomfortable, not just pathos." ”

"Then it's a little heavier," Sean said immediately, he had thought about it countless times, "when the spring is too tight, it will naturally bounce back violently, and too heavy will highlight Zuihou Ada's strength and the small happiness of that quiet life." ”

"What do you want to say?" Minghella's face changed.

Sean took a deep breath: "Let Sarah kill herself." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Minghella suddenly fell, his brows furrowed even tighter, and Natalie next to him looked at Sean with some surprise after pondering.

"She lost her husband before, and now she has lost her children, and she has lost the hope of living, although it is not explicitly written in the novel, but it is vaguely mentioned here." Sean didn't care so much, and went straight to the point, and Zuihou even accentuated his tone, "Moreover, most of the characters have a clear ending, but I read the script, how is Sarah after this episode, whether she continues to live here, or goes away to others, it is not clearly expressed, so what about the filming of this section alone?" ”

"That's a problem," Minghella admits with a sigh, "so it should have been easier to adjust when we were shooting together." ”

"However, although your suggestion is good, it is always just a guess, right?" ”

"Yes, I admit it," Sean nodded, his tone still sincere, "Tony, I admit that I have no experience in controlling movies, but I have also seen many movies, and I also know that movies need to explode, and they need to make the audience's accumulated emotions explode, in my opinion, this is a very haode explosive point." ”

Minghella reached out and tapped his head on his head, his brow relaxed for a moment, but immediately furrowed again: "You've got a problem for me, Sean." ”

It seemed that he couldn't make a decision for a while, Sean glanced around, and had to take another step forward: "Tony, there are some things I want to tell you privately." ”

After a strange glance at Sean, Minghella still made a gesture and walked to the other side with him: "If there is anything, just say it." ”

"While that's not what I'm supposed to say, but, Tony, your movie lacks climax." Sean sighed, but finally said it bluntly.

The director's brows furrowed even tighter, but he was not a heartless person after all, and after hesitating for a while, he had to admit this: "I do lack something in this regard." ”

"So that's the climax," Sean said, spreading his hands, "I'm not you, Tony, I don't have that much expertise, I just think so intuitively, but I trust my instincts. ”

"Well, it's said that your instincts have always been accurate." Minghella was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiexie you, Sean, I see." ”

Obviously, he had understood Sean's intentions, and since that was the case, Sean was not saying anything.

"Stan, tell Ledley that I need to shoot two versions of this scene, and get him to come up with an outline right away, an outline of Sarah's suicide because of the child's death." When Minghella returned to the set, he immediately said to his assistant, "I'll talk to him in detail in the evening." ”

Well, that's also a way to solve it, make two versions, and then put the whole in post-production to compare. As for which one Zuihou will use, it is not up to Sean to manage, and he is not the producer of this movie, so everything he can do has already been done anyway.

The script was revised quickly, and the next day another version was handed over by the field affairs, Minghella is also one of the screenwriters, it must be easy to communicate, and he is probably also a little reluctant to the plot of the original novel. But in this way, the burden on Natalie's shoulders has become much heavier, and it is not easy for her, who is a year younger than Sean, to show the heart-rending pain of a single mother losing her child.

“Cut！” Minghella called a halt, then shook his head, "Rest for a few minutes, and we'll continue." ”

This is already the twelfth NG of Natalie's scene of crawling on the ground in pain after finding out that the child is dead, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is possible to NG twelve more times, but Minghella has already said it, and the rest is repeated shooting, hoping that the actors can continue to adjust in NG, zuihou to achieve the effect everyone wants.

The effect must have been, that's what Wheeler did 99 times before, William? Wheeler, one of Hollywood's most famous directors and 12-time nominator, likes nothing more than to get actors behind the camera to perform over and over again, and then find the shot he wants. But this will also put a lot of pressure on the actors, and if they don't get a breakthrough for a long time, they are likely to crush the actors.

Now, Natalie sat in a chair and drank with her forehead covered, and although she appeared calm on the surface, she somewhat revealed a feeling of irritability.

Sean thought for a moment and simply walked over, "Are you okay, Natalie?" ”

"Okay." glanced at him, and the other party was still so cold.

"Maybe you can change the way," Sean didn't care, although the shooting has only been about a week now, and he is used to it, "If you can't meet the requirements with a restrained performance, you might as well change to an outward performance, and the one that suits you is the best." ”

Hearing this, Natalie showed obvious hesitation, but Sean didn't say any more, but chose to leave. The relationship between the two can only be said to be average, and talking too much will have the opposite effect, it is better to let her think for herself, and believe that as a talented woman at Harvard, she can understand his meaning and way.

Restrained performances may be better, especially with this very tragic plot, which is more likely to resonate with the audience. But the requirements for actors, whether they are perceived or felt, need to reach a considerable level, and Natalie is only 21 years old after all, although it is said that she has played an unmarried mother before, but it is different from the current role, so the restrained way of acting is very difficult for her.

The loud screaming, crying, and waving arms of the outgoing style, although relatively slightly inferior, will not necessarily lose to the restrained style. It's just that Natalie is obviously a strong girl, and she doesn't know these ways of acting? How is it possible, but it can be seen from her reluctance to change more than ten times.

So Sean reminded her, even if the effect of restraint is better, but you can't show it, what's the use?
