Chapter 554: Little Trouble
"Generally speaking, if a director arranges three important characters in a movie, then conflicts will arise among them, and after a series of contradictions, they will lead to various breaks, so that there are highlights. Of course, this is not absolute, and there are many directors who do not follow this path of return and can also make good-looking movies, but most of these works are a bit literary. And now, "Eavesdropping" shows us a completely different style, the three protagonists struggle in the whirlpool from beginning to end, but it seems very smooth, so some people think that this is a little different from the mainstream Hollywood genre movies, very subtle, with an oriental style. Sean finished reading the review on his phone, then looked up at Ledger, "What do you think, Heath?" ”
"How's that?" Ledger asked, puzzled.
"Subtle, and oriental, you're one of the leading actors, do you think they're right?" Sean asked with a grin.
"I ...... I don't know," Ledger thought, then shook his head, "I didn't think that much. ”
"As an actor, and the main actor, it's really disappointing that I didn't even notice this." Sean said in a deliberately exaggerated tone.
"In that case, as a producer, have you noticed this?" A voice reached my ears at this point.
"I think, as a veteran actor, you should be well aware that just because I have my name on the credits doesn't mean I actually made the film, right, Mike?" Sean immediately replied with a smile.
"But it's not convincing enough, anyway, you know the movie," said Michael, who looked at the newspaper. Kane looked up with a smile, as an older generation, he didn't like to watch the news with electronic communication tools.
"This ...... How much do we still have a difference between us? Sean replied with a roll of his eyes.
"It's different, but it's not big enough to be treated in two ways. So, since Heath, as an actor, must have an opinion on a little oriental style of the film, then you, as someone who knows the movie, must also express your opinion. "Gary who has been listening? Oldman walked over at this point.
Obviously, he was also on Ledger's side, so Sean surrendered very simply: "Well, I don't know. ”
Laughter rang out, and then, another person appeared: "Alright, guys, get ready to get started." ”
A slightly square face, neatly combed hair, and a bit of British accent, not Christopher? Who is Nolan again?
That's right, Sean is now on the set of "The Dark Knight", and three days after the release of "Eavesdropping", the movie was launched, and he naturally came to report for duty. Basically, except for the Hiss? Ledger, everyone in the crew knows each other, and the movie "Eavesdropping" has something to do with Sean and Ledger, so I have to chat a few words during the break, so there is a previous scene.
To be honest, if he could, Sean would have chatted with some of the reviewers, because the other party solved a puzzle about why he had a sense of familiarity when discussing the direction of the plot, and then finished the production but was not sure whether it would be popular.
Obviously, I should have such a movie in my memory, but it is not Hollywood - this idea has been in my mind before. It's just that because of the lack of insight, I can't be sure where it is, and now I am reminded like this, and I immediately react that it may be a Hong Kong movie I watched in my previous life.
There is no way there can be a movie with this kind of plot in the mainland, and Taiwan's commercial films have long been finished, so it can only be a Hong Kong movie, and it will appear in a few years.
However, this Hong Kong movie, which was supposed to appear a few years later, turned Sean into a Hollywood movie by mistake, which is really interesting.
After the millennium, Hong Kong movies have completely declined, and there are not a few movies that can leave an impression in a year, and if they can be produced in a few years and can still make Sean vaguely remember, then the quality should be okay. Now that he is so agitated, he has made Hong Kong lose a decent movie, will it make the already bleak Hong Kong movies worse?
Sean didn't think about this problem, or he thought about it, but he quickly threw it away, anyway, Hong Kong movies are already lingering, and sooner or later they will become like Taiwan, mainly literary films, political movies or erotic movies, what does it matter if there are a few more or a few less?
"Sean, you don't need to be emotional, even if you're angry, all you have to do is show the feeling of repression, understand?" In a studio that has been set up as a prison, Christopher and Sean talk about it.
"No problem." Sean nodded.
"As for you, Heath, I'll not tell you so much for the time being, how about you play it yourself?" Christopher turned to look at Heath again? Ledger.
At this time, Ledger, who had already made up as a clown, nodded silently, and sat down in his position without saying a word, but he had a special momentum
"So, now get ready to get started." Christopher said and quit the set.
Then, after Sean put on the Batman mask and everyone else was in place, the camera snapped down on the baffle and the camera began to spin as Christopher instructed.
The scene in this section is naturally the scene where Batman and Gordon design to catch the Joker and then interrogate him at the police station, which can be regarded as the first face-to-face negotiation between the pros and villains of "The Dark Knight", and the importance is self-evident.
I won't say anything superfluous, Sean is already playing Batman for the second time, and his grasp of what he thinks is naturally quite good. It's just that to his surprise, Ledger, who played the clown for the first time, is also not lagging behind.
"I didn't want to kill you, what could I do without you? Go back and blackmail those gangster drug dealers? Don't even think about it! When he said this line, Ledger, who had turned into a clown, laughed nervously, and his crazy appearance was quite noticeable.
Not only that, but he also turned his glasses from time to time, licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue, and put on a serious expression, which was funny and weird.
So here, Sean couldn't help but be a little shorter, but he didn't think it was his problem - well, maybe a little, but it was mostly about the way he dressed and the angle of the shot.
Anyway, Sean is performing with a mask, and no matter how rich his facial expressions are, he can't see them. If it was any other time, he could make up for it with body language, but in this episode, he could only sit in front of the other party and stare coldly.
If it's just like that, Sean believes that his eyes can perform the taste, but the problem is that if the photographer doesn't give close-ups and close-ups, and deliberately dims the light, only letting one of his eyes show under the mask, then Sean will have no way.
"I think that's a little unfair, Christo." Sean, who watched the performance through the monitor, said to the director.
Of course, he said it in private, and he wasn't stupid enough to say such things in public.
"I think it's pretty good." Christopher gave him a noncommittal look.
"I know, but ......," Sean clutched his head, thinking about what to say to him.
"I know what you're thinking," Christopher spoke again before he could finish his thoughts, "but you see, for me, every shot just needs to be done." ”
As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "If you think you can't compare here, then you can come back in another place." ”
"Then you can get a good movie." Sean immediately answered, and then sighed deeply, "Okay, Christo, I know why you're upset, but...... I'm not lazy, am I? ”
"Of course," Christopher clapped his hands, "I wouldn't have spoken to you so well if I had been lazy after all I had thought about you." ”
"You haven't spoken to me properly now," Sean deliberately grimaced, "I'm also your actor, and I need encouragement too." ”
"Okay, okay, you did a good job today, okay?" Christopher laughed, shaking his head a little helplessly, "Don't do it again, it's going to be creepy." ”
"No problem, I'll go and prepare for the next one now." Sean haha's slip away.
It's not bad to make Christopher a little depressed, at least it shows that he really didn't take it to heart, and Sean also knows that although he does his best in acting, he is generally not a good enough actor.
The so-called good enough actor means that he is in good condition at all times, as long as the director gives an order, he can immediately come to the crew to participate in the shooting, even in his spare time, he is always ready.
Every director likes such actors, of course, such actors are also very rare, and more because of various schedule problems, such as playing roles in other movies, or having to attend any parties, so the crew is asked to adjust the shooting schedule.
The bigger the name, the more this kind of requirement, the more serious the crew will be, since Sean is now a big name, then it is inevitable. Isn't this the actor who won the leading role of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" before? The problem is that he's a little more demanding.
Like the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" mentioned before, forget it, since Sean has already agreed, can Christopher still tell him to give up? It's even more impossible to make "The Dark Knight" replaced, but it was Warner who signed it, and although Christopher got more power from the previous two films and got the final editing rights, it is impossible to say anything about this. And for Warner, as long as Sean can complete his task and make the movie release next year, it doesn't matter what he does.
It wouldn't be fine if it was just that, however, Sean just reported to the crew and asked to leave for a while, because the Cannes Film Festival had already opened, and George? Clooney put the premiere of Ocean's Thirteen there, and as one of the main actors, it was impossible for him not to attend, so ......
That's why he said that, after all, Christopher likes dedicated actors — all directors do—so Shaun wants to remind him that he's still dedicated, though he's in trouble.
