Chapter 139: Changing Roles
After entering November, after more than two months of preparation, the crew of "Scream" officially started, and after trying out the completed part of "Killer Leon", Ryan came to David? Finch talks about something, and by the way, let's see how the film was filmed.
The film is considered an independent production by Jenkins Films, although there is a Drew ? Part of Barrymore's investment.
Moreover, this guy called him a few times and said that he was going to play a different role.
The crew chose the location in Sonoma County, renting a community center in a remote satellite city to serve as the film's main location and crew residence.
Originally David? Finch had his eye on a Los Angeles middle school as a location for the location, and when the school heard that a film crew was going to shoot on campus, it was Ryan's work, and they were very happy to reach a verbal agreement.
The reason is simple, firstly, you can get a lot of rental fees, and secondly, this is Ryan? Jenkins' work can use the hot film to promote the school, thereby increasing visibility and getting more students.
Of course, the school is not stupid, and asked to read the script first, but after reading the script, the violent thriller and satirical content in it immediately aroused their dissatisfaction, think about it, when the movie is released, the serial killer haunts their school building, what kind of impact it will have on the students in the school.
So, David? Finch's plan is in vain, Julis? Stewart also set up a trip to Canada to shoot because it would save money, but he ended up choosing this small city in California.
The budget of the movie is only eight million dollars, so naturally there are no famous actors, except for Drew? Barrymore Outside. All the newcomers who are enabled, and as a campus youth horror film. In addition to the necessary acting skills, most of these young people are handsome. The beauty of the woman is much stronger than the group of crooked melons and cracked dates in the previous life.
βcutοΌ It's over, take a half-hour break! β
Mr. Director shouted and stood up from behind the camera, David? There was still a hint of gloom between Fincher's eyebrows, and it was obvious that the failure of "Alien 3" had hit him a bit, although his responsibility was not too great.
"Hi David. It's been a long time. Ryan walked over and shook his hand.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you've grown a lot taller...... Hah, it won't be long before you catch up with me. β
Finch looked over, and Ryan could read the emotion in his eyes, no matter what, he could be regarded as the other party had grown up.
"Is the shooting still smooth?" Ryan asked.
"Not bad."
Ryan smiled, knowing that at his behest, Julis had almost granted the other party the greatest authority. Naturally, it will make Finch, who is controlled everywhere in the crew of "Alien 3", feel relaxed and happy, and can make him show his strength.
If he can make this kind of script as cult as "Fight Club", even if it will lose money, Ryan will admit it.
Of course. It's just a joke, David? Fincher had just suffered a painful business failure and must be desperate to salvage his reputation.
The two chatted a few more words. The topic is naturally inseparable from the movie, frankly. David? Finch has a unique understanding of cinema, Ryan from his words. I can hear some things, but Hollywood is realistic, and if you want to turn your ideas into works, you must give investors confidence.
No doubt, David? Finch is on such a path.
Then Ryan told the purpose of coming here, he wanted David? Finch is in charge of the MV for "The Cup of Life", otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip.
David? Finch only thought about it briefly and agreed, after all, Ryan personally came to invite and gave enough face.
"Ryan, you're finally willing to come and see me."
Hearing the voice from the other side, Ryan didn't have to look to know it was the guy Drew.
"Stop! Drew, let's keep our distance as well. β
Seeing the other party's smiling face, Ryan stopped her from leaning over with a strong voice, did he come to David? Finch's, not to see her.
"Oh, Ryan, you're so sad for me."
"Shut up, Drew!" Ryan glared at her, and Drew had to put away his somewhat coquettish appearance, "Drew, I haven't settled accounts with you about the last time!" β
"Then how can you blame me......" Drew showed a timid look, and his acting skills were really good.
"I don't blame anyone, do I blame myself?"
Seeing that the crew was about to turn on again, Ryan had no choice but to lower his voice and walk towards the secluded place, "Restrain yourself in front of me in the future, is it okay, Miss Barrymore?" β
"Okay, okay." Drew pouted and nodded, but his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what the hell he was doing.
The center of activity on the set is closed, and it is difficult for the paparazzi to get in, but Ryan still keeps his distance from Drew, and God knows when this guy will be unscrupulous again.
"You said you changed roles on the phone?" In order not to affect the filming of the crew, Ryan kept his voice as low as possible.
"yes." Drew grinned and said, "I invested so much money in this movie, of course, to make sure it would be a hit." β
Ryan didn't say anything, but made a gesture to continue, and he could roughly guess which role the other party would change to.
"I talked to Director Finch and Ms. Stewart that if I could get killed 10 minutes before the opening, the audience would be shocked, and the film would attract more people, and I think it would make a higher box office."
When it comes to business, business and investment, Drew is not playful, serious and stern, and it is clear that the decision was well thought out.
The inertia of the wheel of history is really huge! Ryan can only feel this way, he made this movie out a few years in advance, but he didn't expect it to start self-correcting.
That's right! Wouldn't it be the heroine or the Canadian woman? Her starry appearance was very unpleasant to look at in her previous life.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Drew lifted his chin, "What about my idea?" β
"It's all already filming, what else can I say?" Ryan rolled his eyes, he gave the power of the set to David anyway? Finch and Julis? Stewart, besides, this decision is very beneficial to the film.
But then again, Drew? Barrymore was later able to become a famous female producer and female boss, and she really had a bit of brains, and the highest evaluation of this movie in her previous life was the scene where Drew was killed at the beginning.
No woman who can become famous is a simple-minded fool, and even if there is a fool, there are either people behind it, or they are from a famous acting family.
"Which one is the heroine replaced now?"
Ryan looked at a few young people on the set, they were filming a group scene, and they couldn't tell the priority for the time being, but why did one of them look so familiar?
"Well, that's the one." Drew pointed to one of them.
It was a blonde woman, looking at the figure alone, somewhat similar to Nicole, tall and slender, even from a distance, but you could see that the face was very delicate, at least much more beautiful than the troublemaker next to him.
Looking at the somewhat familiar face, Ryan tilted his head, and said in his heart, it can't be that I admit my mistake, right? She shouldn't have made her debut yet.
"Where did you find this heroine?" Ryan was a little weird.
"The casting director brought it in." Drew shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It is said that she came to Los Angeles from New York to play, and happened to meet the casting director on the Walk of Fame, so she auditioned, and then won the role." β
Ryan roughly understands what is going on, in fact, Hollywood plays out this kind of drama every day, girls from all over the world dress up beautifully, hang out on the Walk of Fame, hoping for an opportunity to fall from the sky and embark on the road to fame.
There are a very small number of lucky people who will be selected by some agents or crews to get opportunities, and some people who are particularly lucky may be an instant hit.
Such opportunities are few and far between, and most of the girls meet nothing more than liars, and those whose fate is even more miserable will change directions and enter the San Fernando Valley in the midst of some people's rhetoric, and sink forever.
Some naΓ―ve girls think that it will be the back door to Hollywood, but that is absolutely impossible, even if both sides are film and television industries, but there is a world of difference.
"You know her?"
Seeing Ryan looking at the blonde girl with curious eyes, Drew's mind began to crook, "Should it be ......?"
"Shut up, Drew!" Ryan knew he couldn't give this guy a good look, and glared at her viciously.
Sure enough, Drew? Barrymore shrugged his nose and obediently closed his mouth.
is filming, are some life-like shots, the heroine Sidney's life at school, getting along with her boyfriend, etc., most of the scenes in the movie are filmed at night.
Since the killer's grimace mask involved copyright, Ryan asked Julis to buy the rights when writing the script, and he didn't have to think about it for at least twenty years.
"Let's go, Ryan, I'll show you the crew, there are a lot of people here who are your fans."
In David? After Finch shouted another stop, Drew smiled and leaned in with a slightly flattering voice.
"That'...... All right. β
Ryan followed Drew towards the actor's lounge.
Looking at the people that Drew introduced to himself one by one, these names are quite unfamiliar, and Ryan is sure that there should be no people among these people who will become popular in the future.
Of course, there is one exception.
"Hello, my name is Charlize? Theron, from New York, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ryan, can I call you that? The blonde girl is downright and generous, "Ryan, you can call me Charlie." β
"It's nice to meet you, too, Miss Theron." Ryan shook her hand gently.
Like the other actors, Ryan simply said hello, although he was sure that it was South African Diamond. (To be continued......)
