Chapter 330: Ryan's Supporting Role

The cool sea breeze blew away the darkness of the night, stirred up countless small waves, and when the morning sun crossed the horizon and fell on the golden sand, this temporary camp turned from silence to boiling, and the crew members drilled out of the tents, under the command of the assistant director, began the busy day.

The crew was tidying up the set and preparing the props, and two members from the Fiji Conservationist Organization were constantly shouting loud reminders around them to prevent these guys from Hollywood from harming the grass and trees on the island.

In the open space next to the beach, a huge makeshift studio was erected, and next to the studio was a tent that served as a dressing room for the actors.

The tent wasn't big, because all the cast on the crew added up to only one and a half, one Ryan and half a volleyball.

Ryan quickly changed his costume, a rag wrapped around his waist, and sat down in front of the makeup mirror, allowing the makeup artist to turn his long hair into a messy bird's nest.

Several makeup artists moved at the same time, some smeared on his face and body, and in a short time his muscular body became a dirty savage, and the most tedious work was to cover his chin and temples with a fake beard as dense as weeds.

Even though these are all Hollywood's most famous makeup masters, it took nearly two hours to do all this.

"I look more like Tarzan than a modern-day Robinson on a desert island."

Ryan stood up and curled his arms in front of the mirror, his muscles angular and angular, "We might be able to remake a modern version of Tarzan." ”

"Ryan, Robert is already in a hurry." George reluctantly reminded.

"Alright, let's get out of here."

On the edge of the woods next to the beach, several cameras set up on slides have already been prepared, and the set and supporting character Mr. 'Wilson' stand silently aside. There are a variety of tree props that look no different from the trees next to them.

Preparing to shoot is the scene where Chuck is logging and building a raft and preparing to leave the desert island, but because of the owner of the island and those environmentalists, the crew can't really let Ryan harm the coconut trees and bushes, so they have to make a lot of temporary props.

"Ryan, I have to remind you, we need to hurry!" Robert? Zemeckis showed the authority of the director.

"I see, Robert, I promised you yesterday. I'm sure I'll be back in shape today. In the crew, Ryan still maintains the prestige of the director, and his release plan was given to Robert? Zemeckis was under tremendous pressure.

"Mr. Jenkins, and Director Zemeckis." The member of the environmental protection group named Helen suddenly walked over and said, "I read the script, you will use fire below, please be prepared for the fire to get out of control." ”

"Actually. We were ready for a long time. The person in charge of the props team pointed to the fire extinguishing team of ten people.

The crew didn't have much time to delay and quickly got into filming.

Under the eyes of several cameras, Ryan looked like a wild man who had just returned from primitive society, with the help of flames. Wielding an axe made of ice blades, he lowered the prop trees to the ground and peeled the tough bark from the smaller shrubs. Crafted into ropes.

There aren't many lines in these scenes, and there are few close-ups, is it Robert? Zemi Kister was deliberately chosen. So that Ryan can get back to form quickly.

It's been a few months since the last shooting, and even the best actor can't get back the feeling of the role right away.

Ryan didn't keep the director and crew waiting too long, and after another day of shooting more fragmented shots, his performance improved significantly from when he first arrived, and Robert? Zemeckis also led the whole team into the makeshift studio and began to shoot some shots in the cave.

"Act 1 of the forty-fifth scene, start now!"

In the dimly lit cave, Ryan bent over, carrying the rope he had taken from the top of the cliff, walked to his only companion, slowly crouched down, and dangled the rope in front of the volleyball.

"I got it, and it's right here." His mood was obviously very low, "Got it, are you happy?" ”

The only companion who would never speak, remained silent.

Turning, Ryan took the dry twig, tossed the primordial firepit, added some fuel, and the fire grew brighter, and he squinted at his companion behind him.

"Do you have to keep mentioning it and not forget it?" His voice was unusually low, "Huh? You're right! We had to keep trying, and luckily we did, because it avoided death. ”

He held a thin twig and stirred the campfire, as if talking to the volleyball behind him, and seemed to be muttering, "Then I will fall on a rock, fall on my leg, my back, or my neck, and slowly wail to death, and that's the only option I had then?" When was that, a few years ago? Forget it, let's forget about it. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and stared at Wilson stunned, "Do you have any opinions?" Oh...... Maybe we'll make it, haven't you ever thought so? Either way, I'd rather venture out to sea than stay on this desert island and die! ”

However, his companion would never speak, he would never give advice, he would always talk to himself, perhaps the pent-up negative emotions that had accumulated over the years, and suddenly exploded at this moment.

His messy bird's nest-like head, clinging to the dry red face on top of the volleyball, was as excited as a wild man, and his voice grew louder and louder, "I don't want to talk to a bastard volleyball for the rest of my life!" ”

With that, he picked up his only companion and kicked it out of the cave with one kick, "You fucking X finally shut up!" ”

After two heavy breaths, he finally calmed down, immediately sensed that something was wrong, turned his head and shouted in the direction of the cave, "Wilson! ”

When the sound of passage came from behind the camera, the lights of the studio were instantly lit up, and Ryan was still sitting on the plastic rock, breathing the slightly humid air evenly, slowly adjusting his emotions.

This long shot with volleyball has been NG more than ten times, and although this performance is not physically demanding, it is extremely depleting.

This hellish process of playing against volleyball is really painful, especially when he has to use his performance to bring alive a 'supporting role' who has no expression and can't speak.

The whole crew almost revolves around this beach, and sometimes Ryan is in a state and overtime becomes the norm, and although many nighttime shots are moved to daytime shooting, it is not difficult to change the background back to night in post-production for the increasingly powerful film technique.

Since Ryan is only a real actor, as long as his state can be guaranteed, the filming speed will be very fast, and the actual progress of the crew will also exceed Robert? Zemeckis expected it, but he didn't dare to relax at all, and he was extremely strict with all kinds of work of the crew.

No one knows Ryan's mind better than him, and this movie is obviously going for the Oscars, although he won a Best Director statuette, but who doesn't want to win a second one? Even if you will face a strong opponent next year.

The combination of work and rest is king, Ryan knows this very well, even if the crew is busy, he will not deduct the leave he should take, he doesn't want to become James? Cameron's kind of style.

Fiji is located in the South Pacific region, is a famous tourist destination, and is close to Australia and New Zealand, and when it is time to take a vacation, the crew will always play around, and after relaxing, it will bring more significant work efficiency.

Ryan has remained on the island, despite James, who was diving near the Mariana Trench? Cameron called to invite him, but Ryan turned him down.

I don't want to be watched as a savage when I go out. Ryan wore a light brown bird's nest, and his naked upper body had already been tanned, and at first glance, he looked like Tarzan of the Apes.

Besides, he was short on time, had to complete two scripts as soon as possible, and had to deal with some things via satellite phone.

This is a bumper summer file, after two months of accumulation of "Bug Crisis", the North American box office finally crossed the $200 million mark, and the limelight of Pixar Studios completely overwhelmed Disney's animation department, and John? Lassett and others are more confident and full of expectations for "Toy Story 2" to be released next year.

"Ghost", which was dismissed as rubbish by countless people, also exceeded 100 million US dollars at the box office, although the number of moviegoers dropped sharply and was in danger of being removed early, but the money received was enough for Ryan to buy a large beautiful farm for Nicole in Queensland.

and "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", when the North American box office was close to $250 million, Universal Pictures CEO Ron ? Meyer made a point of calling.

"Ron, I see what you're thinking." Ryan was unmoved by his proposal, "But I don't think it's a wise choice to start the third installment of Jurassic Park now, Stephen has famously said that he will not be in charge of the director in the short term, and if the time interval between the two movies is too short, it will bring unexpected changes, we should look farther." ”

"Yes, stranded for the time being. We have to maintain the influence of this brand, and now the film technology is developing too fast, and we have to wait for the new technology to mature before starting the third part. ”

Hanging up the phone, Ryan rubbed the corners of his forehead, according to his plan, the next film of "Jurassic Park" will be a 3D movie.

Well, it's still early for 3D, after all, one of the key players in the new 3D technology is diving in the Mariana Trench, and hopefully the trucker won't be swallowed by the great prehistoric octopus that hides deep at the bottom of the sea.

Boredom, Ryan walked towards the small dock of the island, the visitors were about to arrive, and when they saw their wild appearance, they might be scared away. (To be continued......)
