Chapter 174: Ten Days
Over the next week or so, Sean's efficiency picked up, and the progress of "Sniper Phone Booth" became much faster again, originally expected to take two weeks to complete the shooting, but now it seems that it may only take 12 days or less - but it is also difficult to say that Sean's good form is not very stable, sometimes it will be very fast, sometimes it will be very slow, as for Weishenme......
"Squirt some more water on his face, I need him to look like he's sweating profusely." Following the director's instructions, a dressing room came over with a watering can and got busy on Sean's face.
"I won't say more, Sean, if you complete these zuihou scenes, the movie will almost be closed." Schumacher then said, "Work harder, in this case, everyone will be relieved, won't they?" ”
Suddenly, several eager eyes shot on Sean's face, the makeup artist beside him, the prop master not far away, and the field assistant who happened to pass by here, all like this.
"I do my best." Sean, who was calm on the surface, said this, while inhaling in his heart.
That damn old man, who was obviously squeezing everyone, is now pushing it on my head...... It seems that if the shooting is delayed today and the camera can be sealed tomorrow, although these guys will not eat themselves alive, they will definitely look good for themselves in various unexpected ways, damn it!
I can't help but complain and decide to shoot this film in the way of "French time", but the director and producer, Weishenme did not unite to ask them for a break, but came to expect that he could finish it in a short time? Anyway, there's only a little zuihou left, and there's not much difference between making a movie in eleven days and making a movie in four days.
The so-called "French time" shooting method refers to a kind of shooting jishu that originated in France, which simply means giving up the lunch break and eating time, turning on the camera every day, and shooting will not stop until the end of work. Lunch and break? Find time to go on your own, such as finding a no-man's corner to fill your stomach with a few hamburgers or taking a nap when you don't have your own role, and once it's your turn, you have to hurry to the battle.
Of course, the salary of the staff is definitely higher than that of the average crew, but overall, it is still very time-saving and money-saving, and it can also make the shooting seem more compact.
"Not only does this speed up the team's productivity, but it also produces a great film where the tension of each actor is evident and everyone looks like they're eating a big plate of spaghetti!" These are Schumacher's words of encouragement when he turns on the camera.
But...... If Italian macaroni tastes like this, Sean will never taste a bite, not only is he tired like a dog every day, but he is also in a hurry to cope with lunch, don't you know that if you eat every day, it will be bad for your stomach? Too bad, before that, no matter how intense the shooting is, it will be better than now. In the past, there would be a bad state in the middle of the shooting, in addition to feeling too deeply aggrieved, it is not unrelated to this way of shooting.
Similarly, because of this, when these makeup artists, prop masters, and field assistants hear that the shooting is about to end, what kind of hopeful eyes will they cast on Sean.
It's really a headache, where is the state said to be there, and his role has always been the heaviest, and he has been daring to shoot during this time, and he has basically been consumed. If there are no other shots to shoot, he can take the opportunity to rest, and the director will occasionally squeeze out more time for him to take a break, just like last time, plus ...... I guess it was over a few days ago.
But then again, the results of this kind of shooting are really good, and he has followed Schumacher behind the monitor many times, and although the picture is rough, it is really tense. And it happens that the shooting sequence is according to the script, and the scene does not change much, I have to say that this kind of small-budget and small-production film is very suitable for the shooting method of "French time".
"I do my best." Sean repeated it again.
"Don't say that, everyone is looking forward to your performance." At this time, the director came over again and laughed, it was really hard for him, an old man in his sixties, to laugh like this...... Lewd.
"Look over there." He said it again.
Following his gaze, Sean noticed at a glance Katie in the extras pile? Helms, she was smiling and talking to a few people, and then quickly noticed his gaze, and then waved her hand generously.
Okay, okay...... Sean resisted the urge to roll his eyes, no matter how he justified it now, it was an indisputable fact that as long as Katie was here, he would be in good shape. As long as I can chat with Katie a few words every day, haha laughs a few times, all the unhappiness that has accumulated before will dissipate, so I will quickly devote myself to shooting again, I don't know weishenme, this girl who seems a little simple and confused a lot of times is easy to infect him.
In this case, even if there is nothing between each other, the people around will not believe it, not to mention that Sean has already asked her to dinner twice, and he has already begun to have other thoughts.
Then it's done in one go. Sean muttered this, and as the makeup artist sorted out his face, he walked to the already tattered prop phone booth in high spirits.
Needless to say, at Sean's insistence, the zuihou part of the film was finally completed, and it only took a total of ten days from the beginning to the present - nine days and more than four hours to be exact, which is quite fast. When Schumacher announced the end of the game, the set burst into cheers, followed by ghostly roars, and some people wearing hats threw their hats into the sky, as if they had just won a big battle, attracting the attention of people outside.
Sean didn't cheer along, and although he breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to the other side, despite the fact that he hadn't removed his makeup.
"Hey, beautiful girl, are you also free tonight?" He came to Katie and extended an invitation.
Katie, who was still cheering with others, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay." ”
She replied briskly, and then immediately added: "I don't like Marseille fish soup." ”
Speaking of this, the girl puffed out her cheeks, as if she was not very satisfied with the French dinner that night, and then turned her head to the side when she realized something, and glanced at Sean from time to time, as if she was a little shy.
"No problem, let's try Italian pasta, doesn't Joe always say that this shoot is like eating a big plate of macaroni?" Sean smiled and said, "And I know of an Italian restaurant that makes amazing ice cream." ”
Katie is a little gluttonous cat, which Sean was aware of when filming "Death Hallucination", and now it is even more certain. She is very fond of eating, especially sweets, but at the same time, like many women, she cares about her figure, so she is picky about not eating much.
For example, the Marseille fish soup of the French cuisine I went to eat before, the three flavors of sweet, sour and salty are intertwined, which is very evocative, but Katie, who prefers one flavor to the extreme, does not like it very much.
However, as long as you know her preferences, many things will be much easier.
"It's really great!" After tasting the ice cream for dessert, Katie said happily.
Then, she looked around and asked with some surprise, "The shop here is not big at all, and it is not well-known, how did you find it?" ”
"If you look at food magazines, you'll find a lot of lesser-known but very distinctive restaurants, and then take the time to try them once in a while – don't order a big meal, and many times the snacks are more of a chef's jishu. Then, you'll find a lot of restaurants with unique characteristics, which may not be as good as the famous restaurants in many places, or maybe even backward in all aspects, but have their own taste. Sean spoke eloquently.
He has only recently left the crew of "Sniper Phone Booth", and he has not completely detached himself from the role, so he seems very mature, but at the same time he has a little ruffian-like frivolity, which has a different kind of charm.
After dinner, the two walked together on the streets for a long time, and went to see a movie at Sean's suggestion, although it was November soon, and a new round of hot schedules was coming, but now they are still showing low-budget movies. Sean originally proposed to watch the director's cut of "The Exorcist", but as if she saw something, Katie rejected the proposal with a smile and chose the movie "Ghost Wish".
This is a very interesting movie, a timid little clerk in the confession of failure, the most depressing time of life meets a gorgeous devil, the devil wants his soul, and at the same time promises to grant him seven wishes. The clerk agreed, and the wish was granted, but every time there were some serious problems.
For example, his first wish was to become a rich man who married the lover of his dreams, so when he woke up, he became a Spanish-speaking South American tycoon who slept with the lover of his dreams. But at the same time, he is also a big drug lord, so he soon began to be hunted down and killed, making a lot of trouble.
In short, even though he became a rock star and became a basketball star, he didn't enjoy it for long every time before he started to get unlucky, and the seven wishes were presented at once, and each time he could make people hahadaxiao.
The actor is Brandon, who became popular through "Tarzan" and "The Mummy"? Fraser, the heroine is the British actress Elizabeth? Hurley, the director is very good at choosing people, Elizabeth is wearing a sexy red dress, and she looks very sexy and sultry lying on the hood of the car, which contrasts with Frazier's silly appearance.
Although, it's also good for dating
"Xiexie, you send me back, Sean." After sending Katie back to the door of her apartment, the young girl said.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Sean smiled slightly, but had no intention of leaving.
"It was a great night, really." Katie didn't say much, just lowered her head and looked away, constantly playing with the key in her hand.
The meaning was already obvious, so after a few seconds of deliberation, Sean grabbed her pretty face and slowly leaned forward. Katie didn't refuse, but her eyes slowly closed into a line, and it wasn't until he stopped a few inches on her lips that she kissed her.
