"You don't need to push too hard, just show a normal level of trepidation and a little bit of fortitude hidden underneath, but you will have to sacrifice something else." Standing on a hillside where the sun was still shining, Minghella was joking with Sean.

"No problem, just don't let me go into the water again." Sean jokingly responded.

"Don't worry, you won't have to go into the water for any of the rest of the scenes," Minghella laughed immediately, "but now you'll need to roll in the mud." ”

"That's nothing," Sean said cheerfully, "it's better to roll in the mud than to get soaked and your clothes stick to your body." ”

In the current scene, Inman, played by Sean, is on his way home when he encounters a clergyman played by Hoffman who is about to murder a black woman, so he steps forward to control the priest and save the black woman. It turned out that the black woman was a slave to the priest, and the priest committed adultery with her and made her pregnant with a child. In a nearby town, according to local doctrine, the priest was to be lynched passively, so the priest wanted to kill people.

But he was unlucky, and met Inman halfway through, who forced him to send the black woman back at gunpoint, and then tied him up again, wrote down his evil deeds on a piece of paper and stuck it on him.

After that, Inman evades the security guards searching for deserters and tries to pass through a certain pond, but he meets the priest again on the way. He no longer had the decency he had before, he was dressed in tatters, covered in scars, and had apparently escaped from lynching.

The priest recognized Inman's identity, but probably because of his sympathy, or because he was in a desperate situation, he did not betray him, but left with him. The two of them went through a lot, but when they were resting in a small place, they were betrayed by a herdsman who rescued them, and they were caught and taken by a patrol of the Southern Army.

However, accidents can happen at any time, and when the patrol catches them and walks back, they accidentally encounter the cavalry of the Northern Army, and the southern patrol wants to hide and wait for the soldiers of the Northern Army to leave before continuing to advance, but among the other people who were captured with Inman and the priest, some of them were unwilling to be caught back like this, so they ran while they could not make a sound. So, everyone began to flee, and the patrol naturally opened fire, and the Northern soldiers were lured, and after a chaotic battle, the Southern army and several prisoners, including the priest, were all killed, except for Inman who crawled out of the dead after the Northern soldiers left.

Now the filming is the Zuihou section, and the crew deliberately found a small slope full of brown dirt in the field, so Minghella will say that you need to roll in the mud. In the previous sections, in addition to the shots that need to reflect the style of small towns in the North and South periods of the United States, the shots that can find the right environment here, such as ponds and river crossings, were completed in the previous few days.

Because he was in a rush to shoot, Sean needed to soak in the water a lot, and sometimes he would accidentally fall in it and get wet all over. After a few times, even if he put on waterproof makeup, he would not make his face smudge, but the clothes were stuck to his body, and it took a lot of effort to take them off every time, which is why Sean would say that as long as he didn't go into the water.

"Okay, zuihou a check!" With the voice of the assistant director, people took their positions, and Sean, who was dressed a little tattered and had been pressed by the makeup artist with a beard, also stood with Hoffman, and was ready to start with a bracelet.

Because of those experiences in his previous life, he already seemed to have a more mature temperament, if he didn't say anything, if he stopped there, no one would think that he was only in his early 20s, and Liang Minggela was fooled at the beginning. Now with the addition of a beard and a little more vicissitudes of makeup, it is even more manly, and even Hoffman makes fun of him for making it harder to tell the specific age than himself.

Hoffman is often mistaken about his age because he is older, and some friends ridicule him with the movie "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", in which he doesn't look like a high school student at all, if it is more difficult to distinguish age than him, you can imagine what the extent it will be. Of course, Hoffman is mostly joking, and Sean is relatively much more handsome than him, belongs to the kind of thing like Sean? Connelly, like the more mature the more flavorful and attractive the type.

Don't mention this, although the thing to be filmed is an escape and a squad conflict, but this is not difficult for Sean. Although Minghella had already finished some of the shots that didn't require him to leave the country before he came to the crew to report, this side of the hill was much farther away from the forest where he was filming, so it wasn't in the content to be filmed before, and Sean didn't have to rush to perform.

Then, he basically has no lines in this part of the shooting, especially in this part of the hillside, so he only needs to use expressions and body language to show the emotions of the characters, and the emotions of the characters are nothing more than fear and unyielding. A few years ago, when he was a rookie actor, he could do his best to achieve the effect the director wanted, not to mention now, he made a lot of preparations before coming, and read the original novel several times alone - this is also the intention of the crew to give him time.

So, the film went well, and it took about two days to complete the confrontation scene, and then moved to another forest with a river to shoot the crossing of the river and the pursuit of the security team. Just crossing the river, you don't need to go into the water, and of course, if Sean accidentally falls into the river during filming, that's a different story.

After this scene is completed, Hoffman can leave Romania, and some of the rest of the scenes will not be said until the crew goes to Canada.

At the mention of this, Sean was a little depressed, weishenme Minghella must go to Eastern Europe to film?

"The forests here are more pristine and more beautiful, and there is snow here that can be used immediately." That's what Minghella said, and Sean could only sigh.

If you really want to think about it, there are no such forests in the southern United States? Even if there is no one in the south, Montana and Wyoming in the north are not? And there is also snow. In addition, there are also large forests and snow fields in Canada, as long as you want to, you will definitely be able to find a suitable location, not to mention that filming in Canada can also reduce the cost of tax refunds.

In fact, the crew is indeed interested in Canada's itinerary, and also invited a Canadian actor to play a supporting role, this actor Sean also knows, it is Donald who was shot by his villain in "Mission Italy"? Sutherland. Undoubtedly, Miramax still thought about filming in Canada and enjoying some tax breaks, but Minghella insisted on filming in Romania.

Although Sean doesn't know the specific situation, the last few sentences are mostly guesses, but they should be eight or nine or ten. It's a well-known fact that Minghella likes live action, and he has also made two well-paid literary films for Miramax before, and he also won the Oscar for Best Director, so the film company will definitely accommodate him.

If Weinstein had been tougher, the film might have a better future, right? Sean had thought like this. That's right, he is not optimistic about the prospects of "Cold Mountain", one of the reasons has been told to Frederick, cost and box office, and getting one is always intuition.

He has always been untrustworthy and unbelievable in his own intuition, and this is indeed just the first reaction based on those fragmentary memories of his past life, and how many of these fragmentary memories have been selectively added by God himself? But then again, my intuition is more or less well-founded, and I have gained a lot of benefits from following my intuition before, so I ...... See how you deal with it.

Just like "Cold Mountain", although intuitively not optimistic about the prospects, and there is evidence, it is not too bad, so Sean didn't take it to heart, after all, it was Minghella who took the initiative to call him.

Well, without further ado, after Hoffman left, Sean was given a two-day break after completing some footage of walking alone on the road, and shooting some close-ups of the battle when Minghella saw fit.

It's a real break, unlike before, when Minghella says he'll let him rest, only to call him back when he thinks of a good shot.

"It's a disguised trust, and he thinks I'm doing well." In the town's hotel, Sean, leaning on his bedside and reading a book, said.

"Well, trust ......," Sanders sighed, "but since that won't be the case now, why don't you go out for a walk?" ”

"Well......" Sean thought for a moment as he put down his book, "there are several reasons, first, this town is so small, there really isn't much to go; Secondly, as you know, this is Eastern Europe, and law and order is very problematic; Again, after the first few tosses, I'm used to it, and who knows if Tony will temporarily regret it and call me over again, so I'd better stay in my room and read. ”

"Then you can stay in the room, I'm going out to have a look." Sanders rolled his eyes.

"No problem, I can take care of myself." Sean smiled, and then added heartlessly: "By the way, be careful, don't let some perverts kidnap them to play killing games." ”

So he got a middle finger.

After smiling silently, Sean lowered his head again and opened the book, but instead of continuing to read, he frowned at the thought of something. Although it was just a casual joke before, it seemed to bring back a little memory, and it seemed to ...... One horror film is one such thing, in which American tourists travel to Eastern Europe and are kidnapped and killed in underground clubs to be the prey of the rich.

The box office should be good, otherwise I wouldn't have such a vague impression. He thought so. It's a pity that no matter how I remember it later, I can't remember more things, it's really depressing. If you can, it's best to make a movie the work of your own studio, anyway, the established route is to accumulate through low-budget films, such as thriller horror films, or school comedies and pulp comedies.

I have to say that it is easy to maintain a film company, but it takes a lot of energy and money to develop a film, and in the case of his reincarnation films, the tens of millions of funds raised before - including those he invested himself - have now spent 70%.
