The cabin shook violently, which was quite unsettling, and although the flight attendant repeatedly signaled that this was normal, the feeling of anxiety continued to grow. Fortunately, the plane stopped jolting and the passengers breathed a sigh of relief, but in a matter of seconds, the cabin began to shake violently again, accompanied by electric sparks, and the oxygen mask fell from above, and even the most optimistic people realized that something was wrong.

Finally, with a bang, the cabin wall was opened by the strong air current, and the passengers sitting there were immediately blown out, and the only surviving student grabbed the armrest of the seat and tried to get in, and the teacher sitting in the middle also tried his best to reach out to pull her, but unfortunately he couldn't compete with the force of nature after all, and the other party was finally thrown out, and then ......

"Okay, that's it!" With director James? Huang's voice, the shaking cabin finally stopped, and the actors sitting in the seats finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the director's next sentence made them complain again: "There are two more times, from left to right, and from right bottom to right up." ”

The cabin scene of the plane explosion filmed now is a short section of the cabin without a full cap in the studio, and then the mechanical arm is supported underneath, and the prop master manipulates this robotic arm to shake the prop cabin to create the scene inside the plane at that time. As I said before, in film shooting, there are actually very few things that can be included in close-up shots, as long as you make sure that you don't wear goofs when capturing shots.

But here's the trouble, since it's a representation of the panic atmosphere in the cabin before the plane exploded, sharp and fast editing is essential. And the fragmentation of the lens will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of shots, so a large group of people are in this prop cabin, accompanying the few who may appear in the camera to shake around, naturally not happy.

It's just that although several of the main actors are depressed, some extras feel that they are enjoyable, and many of them leave after filming this scene, and they must want to be addicted to acting. So, Huang repeated these sets of shots over and over again, and then announced the end of work with satisfaction.

Then, continuing the filming at the airport, among the several supporting characters who are going to die, Todd's death has been determined. Because I needed to highlight and was misunderstood as suicide, I finally chose to step on the overflowing water and slipped into the bathtub, pulled down the wire of the shower curtain and wrapped it around my neck, and because I knocked over the bottle of bath gel in the bath, I couldn't stand up when my feet slipped, and I was finally strangled to death by the wire.

One of Sean's ideas was also used, not scissors or toilets, but a small detail, about the treatment of stagnant water. Todd stepped on the overflowing water and fell into the bathtub, trying to mislead people that he was committing suicide, so the water on the ground could not exist. However, it is impossible for the stagnant water to disappear automatically, otherwise it will be too deliberate to show the supernatural liliang, which contradicts the theme that death cannot be seen or touched, and will only use accidents to make people die.

There is no way to think about it, Huang had no choice but to use the method of automatic flow back of stagnant water, but Sean interjected, it can't flow back automatically, so it can flow away. Thus, the Zuihou shot of Todd's death is taken, and the stagnant water flowing on the ground scatters in all directions, flowing to the bottom of the bath and disappearing, showing the supernatural liliang without violating the laws of physics.

"You've done me a great favor, Sean." Huang was very happy about this.

However, this did not allow him to start filming Todd's death, on the one hand, the current scene is not yet completed, on the other hand, he also wants to say that everyone's death is set before starting, anyway, there is still time.

Finally ended the footage of the cabin, and after resting for half an hour, the crew began to play the scene before boarding. Filmmaking is like this, one second you are still crying and killing your friend, and the next second you have to hook up with him to pick up girls, so the state of the actor is very important.

James? Huang actually wanted to go to the real-life filming of the airport, but he applied for several of them, but the other party heard that there was a scene of a plane explosion, and they refused without exception. If anyone knows the story that happened after the release of "The Grim Reaper", they will definitely admire the person in charge of the airport who made this decision, it was too prescient.

Therefore, he could only let others go to various airports to shoot some real scenes, and the specific scenes were completed in front of the baffle and curtain.

"I want you to compensate!"

"It's a pity you didn't stay on the plane!"

The two young men who were separated by the police shouted angrily at each other, and then, Billy, who was standing in front of the glass and looking at the plane that had flown away, shouted "****", and then the sound of the glass shattering exploded.

“Cut！” Huang's voice rang out, his brow furrowed, as if he was not satisfied with the effect, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes behind the lenses.

"One more time." He walked around the set twice and then commanded.

However, although the director said that he would come again, he actually came seven or eight times. After that, he told everyone to rest, but stopped Sean and pulled him to the monitor with him.

"Do you see something?" After driving away the others here, the footage of the shooting was repeated several times, Huang asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem is," Sean thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Can you tell me what didn't go well?" ”

"No, no, Sean, you misunderstood," Huang shook his head, "Facts you did well, but the problem is that you did too well. ”

"Well done?" Sean was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Huang very puzzled.

"I know it doesn't sound right, but that's exactly what it is," he explained, "you're doing a great job, Sean, and sometimes you push too hard, but you can adjust it with a few more shots." But, because of that, you're throwing everyone else behind, and it makes you stand out too much, like ...... If at the beginning the crew was a car that drove smoothly on the road, then now you drive a car with more horsepower in front of you and drive well all the time, but no one can say when it will go off track. ”

"Really?" Sean twitched the corners of his mouth, a little incredulous.

Although this is a low-budget commercial film, he still does his homework well, and in the end, the main emotion of the male protagonist is insecurity. Except for a short episode at the beginning, he is in tension at all times, as if he may die unexpectedly in the next second, but at the same time he has to control this emotion, not to show too much, it is better to show the fear of death and the desire for life and the resulting contradiction.

It may sound complicated, but in fact, the character is relatively simple compared to "The Genius Ripley", so Sean, who is well-prepared, seems to be comfortable interpreting it. Unexpectedly, the director now told him that he had gone too far, which is really strange.

"Isn't it true that the better the actor performs, the happier the director should be?" After finishing today's work, Sean said this to his driver and assistant on the way back.

Although he immediately promised Huang that he would pay attention to this and try to adjust the performance so that the performance could not only maintain a certain level but not pull down too many others, he was still very puzzled in his heart.

"Maybe that's true, you told me before that making a movie is a team job, and you can only make a good movie by working together," said Galen, who drove the Lincoln Continental, "It's like basketball, we used to say that Jordan or Barkley alone beat a team, but in fact you can't go from one side of the court to the other without the other four players to help pass, dismantle, cover, and distract others." ”

"Well, maybe you're right......" Sean said with his chin rubbed, but looking at the street scene outside, he still didn't believe it.

"Obviously, he doesn't want you to dominate the film," Frederick, who has been working in Hollywood for a decade, obviously has a different opinion, "and he can't say the same, he wants the film to be highlighted, not a character in the movie." ”

"To put it simply...... Don't want me to steal the limelight from the movie? Sean still couldn't believe it.

"Yes, you should know, this is James? Wong is directing a film for the first time," Frederick shrugged, "so what he needs is a great film that tolerates flaws, but has a lot of highlights overall, so he doesn't need to have parts that stand out too much, like actors who are above the film." ”

"It's weird, and generally speaking, a good actor should make a movie more exciting." Sean said depressedly.

"Yes, but the director must be able to control the actors," Frederick laughed, "if it's a well-known director, like Anthony?" Minghella, he'll be able to control you, so there's no need to worry about that. But James? Huang is a first-time director, and he definitely can't control you, and he is directing a commercial film, or a low-budget commercial film, so he naturally doesn't want uncontrollable factors, that is, as I said, actors are above the movie. ”

Saying this, he shrugged his shoulders again: "What's more, James? Huang is still of Chinese descent. But then again, this is also an affirmation of your acting skills, and you should be happy. ”

Sean didn't answer, but sighed in his heart, yes, James? Huang is Chinese, and Chinese people have to work harder than others if they want to get ahead here. If he wasn't born here in this life, or if he was of very obvious oriental descent like Galen, it would be completely impossible to create a miracle to get the male protagonist of "Genius Ripley".

Thinking of this, what did you think about James before? Huang Sheng's little dissatisfaction has also disappeared, since this is the case, then it is better to cooperate. Anyway, it's not too difficult, just follow the requirements of the script, and you can make yourself easier, so why not?

"Hey, Sean, you guy, every time you come to the party, you hide to the side, and people find you for a long time." A wine glass slammed on the bar, followed by Matt? LeBron's smiling face appeared in front of Sean.

"Why," Sean said busily, "I'm just chatting with my agent and asking him some questions. ”

As he spoke, he winked at Frederick, who then rolled his eyes covertly, then smiled and grabbed Matt's hand: "How's it going, Matt?" ”
