Of course, after more than a month of shooting, Roland still has a nickname with a negative color - 'chatter', and this nickname was given to him by James himself.

Unlike the cheap-mouthed Deadpool, Star-Lord whose IQ is not online, the professional liar Ant-Man, and the little spider with an active youth hormone, Roland, who stays in the crew, is really caught and asked.

This is mainly the sequelae of being idle and bored, because on the set, a large part of the time is spent waiting and putting on makeup, and John Connor he plays is different from T-800, Sarah Connor, and T-1000, because there is no injured picture, no violent fights, and no blackening scenes, so only a photogenic nude makeup is needed, plus there is no need to put foundation on the skin that is no longer exposed, and there is no need to accept the harassment of the tutor like other child actors. Don't worry that Cameron will grab his back collar and throw himself out, so, while waiting for the shooting, he moved a bench to the monitor, relying on his natural advantage of being underage and not tall, looking at the live picture from a very strange upward perspective, and then taking advantage of Cameron's lack of business, asking some questions that he couldn't understand.

For example, when filming the scene where the T-800 first appeared:

Roland looked puzzled and asked: "James, I've seen the storyboard manuscript, it seems to be different from the current picture, when the T-800 crossed, it cut the ground and the truck, and when we were shooting, we only dug a semicircular pit in the ground?" And then use a two-stage shot to shoot the truck after it is intact and damaged? What about the red, scorching light? Don't you have to embody it? ”

At this time, Cameron didn't care, and replied directly: "The overheated red light will be handed over to the post-visual effects, don't worry about us." ”

Another example - when filming a clip of the T-1000 liquefied and shaped:

Looking at the mysterious green screen in the lens, Roland looked dazed: "James, doesn't the liquefaction lens of the T-1000 need to be finalized and positioned first?" We only need to photograph the tragic situation of the T-1000 before its recovery and what the T-1000 looked like when it left after the recovery? The rest is really all left to the late stunts? ”

At this time, Cameron's eyelids jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, at least that's what Scott (Ross) replied to me." ”

Another example - when on location and filming the T-1000 chasing John Connor and the T-800:

Looking at the green curtain rising at the scene, Roland asked curiously: "James, does it cost a lot of money to shoot the escape scene with a green screen, then shoot the explosion scene live, and finally let the post-stage be grafted in series?" ”

At this time, Cameron couldn't help it.

Damn……

Are you special code for 100,000 why?

Do you need me to buy you a copy of "Three Thousand Questions for Blue Cats"!

By the way, I'm getting you a copy of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" produced by the same director?

I'm making a movie, not doing scientific research!

The stunt company told me that this picture can be done, so I'll shoot it like this!

How can there be so many whys?

As for how much does it cost?

As long as I can do it, I don't care how much it costs!

Cameron took a deep breath, staring at the field work, he directly reversed the brim of the cap, and said in an almost helpless tone: "Stunts such a thing, don't ask me, if you want to know how the final effect is done, then turn around and go to Steven, let him take you to Industrial Light & Magic." - If even the guys there can't answer your questions, then I'll have to get you a ticket to Mars, and hopefully there will be intelligent beings on it to help you out. ”

Cameron, who was already short-tempered, was annoyed by the question.

He loves stunts, but that doesn't mean he can tinker with them!

He doesn't produce technology, he's just a porter of visual effects!

You must know that George Lucas, who made "Star Wars" back then, is not a technician, as a well-known Hollywood director, he never stays in Los Angeles, but nests in San Francisco's nest and enjoys life.

To put it mildly, few Hollywood directors really understand technology, and if you ask him how this movie was made, he might be able to tell you everything in front of and behind the scenes, but if you ask him how this technology was realized from scratch?

I'm sorry, but this kind of thing has to be answered by a professional.

Because of this, in the face of Roland's inquiry, James Cameron, a tyrant, will feel unusually irritable.

If you're interested in stunts, turn around and find Spielberg's friend Lucas, isn't that over?

In my "Abyss", the first computer 3D character in film history did appear, but-

This is made by Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic!

In the "Terminator 2" we are filming now, the first computer-generated character (T-1000) in film history will be born, but-

These things are also in charge of Industrial Light & Magic!

I can answer you about the movie, but the stunt question......

I'm sorry, but I'm just a tool guy who can make movies and has no feelings.

The stunt consultant told me that what kind of routine would this thing be filmed, and they would be able to make the picture, and as for the rest?

Who knows exactly how they did it?

In the face of Cameron's death ray, Roland decisively closed his mouth.

The reason why he asks too much about stunts is not because he thinks he has learned everything from Robert Zemeckis and Chris Columbus, but because Cameron in his previous life feels like a technical freak!

Not to mention the naked-eye 3D congratulatory renderings released by James Cameron after "Avengers IV" broke the global box office record of "Avatar", not to mention the 3D shock brought by "Avatar", just this guy insists on following the same path as Peter Jackson and wants to make "Avatar 2" into a movie with 48 frames, which is enough to prove his obsession with technology.

And in this case, shouldn't discussing technical issues with a technophoric be an option to their liking?

But who knows-

The horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg.

Now that Cameron has bluntly stated that he only knows how to shoot, then-

Roland naturally will not continue to harass each other in terms of visual effects technology.

However, not bothering the other party in visual effects technology does not mean that Roland will shut up.

In the days that followed, he turned into a juicer, full of excitement to pry open the other party's skull.

At first, Cameron thought that Roland, who had changed the direction of the topic, was like a mosquito that disturbed people's dreams, and the behavior of beeping in his ears every day was really annoying, but when Roland threw out questions related to the composition of the picture and the depth of the plot, Cameron, who had no teaching experience again, suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at this little kid with a scrutinizing gaze.

"They taught you film composition?"

Although he did not name names, Roland understood the meaning of the other party's words.

Isn't the 'they' in the trucker's mouth referring to the Jewish gang?

In the face of such an inquiry, Roland, who was pestled next to the camera, did not deny it, and nodded directly: "Yes, linear, horizontal, oblique, S, X, cross, centripetal, radial, triangular, balance...... These have been said. ”

Hearing Roland say this, Cameron took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows, and nodded with emotion.

Get......

What do you guys teach?

What is movie composition?

That's a must for directors!

Generally speaking, as long as the main body, companion, and environment of the film composition are clear, the picture you shoot will not be ugly.

Of course, even if he learned these things, Roland would not be able to pick up the guide tube to make a movie.

But when you give these things to an actor, it's a different story.

Why?

Because of the pressure play!

Filming film and television dramas is different from stage performances, every time you perform on stage, you are facing a real audience, in this case, the real performance skills are the key to your ability to suppress the scene, but filming movies and TV is different, because there is no real audience, the only thing that can 'see' your live performance is the camera, in this case, as long as the actor can grasp the essence of the composition and move his pace slightly, he can make himself better appear in the camera.

And this kind of appearance, unless it is a strong director, generally no one will take the initiative to mention it.

Especially the kind of people who come into the show with their own backgrounds, if someone finds that these guys with big backers are stealing the show with small tricks, then - who would say?

After all, no one can guarantee that these things will not be taught to him by those backers?

And in this case, a guy who knows how to press the scene suddenly came to the director to ask the director for advice on filming......

That—

Will this director still refuse strongly?

Because of this, when Roland told the truck driver with great certainty that his skills were learned from those guys you think, the guy who didn't want to take an apprentice scratched his head, pointed to the camera and said: "I won't say what they said, you don't need to know the light and shadow now, then what I can tell you on the spot now is sports......"

Cameron is not from a professional background, so he can't direct actors during filming like Robert Zemeckis and Chris Columbus, for him, it is the best choice to get the shot he wants in the easiest way, and this is the reason why he would rather scare Roland than rack his brains and find a way to tell Roland how to be more immersed.

But—

Not being able to guide an actor doesn't mean he won't make a movie.

Quentin Tarantino, Luc Besson, Ridley Scott, these are not from professional backgrounds, but this does not mean that they can't make good things, their film road may be very difficult, but every step out of the way is really burned with money, to put it mildly, the lessons bought with money can be more deeply felt than what the teachers in school teach.

For these halfway monks, every failure will make him remember it for a lifetime.

Because they can't afford to gamble.

The guy from the professional class still has only three chances, and the guy who is halfway out of the house can only choose to make a splash.

So, when Roland asked Cameron why this shot was shot like this.

The truck driver's answer became very 'bloody'-

"When I was working on Piranha, I had that idea from you, but it didn't work out in the end."

“Oh，my god！ Roland, are you a stupid pig? Didn't I tell you? I thought about this idea when I was storyboarding! But the imitation of the picture of the first part cannot be said to be a tribute! Because this picture is not classic in the first part! ”

"You think there's something wrong with Arnold's smile? Oh! Child! He's a robot! He is only in touch with feelings! You can't imagine it to be the same as Ripley (Alien 2 protagonist)! And that flashing light! One is to create a concept for the audience that they are surrounded! The second is to make Arnold's smile even more eerie! It's like the T-800 in Terminator! That burns off the skin! A scene where the eyes are exposed! That's what I want to say now!! ……”

In fact, after the truck driver officially began to teach Roland, Roland found that those guys in the crew looked at themselves differently, and they still treated Roland with a polite attitude before, but now-

Those guys have become a lot more friendly.

And this kind of friendliness cannot be described in words, more often than not, it is actually integrated into their actions.

Previously, when Roland pestered Cameron and wanted to know the stunt experience, the treatment he received belonged to the orthodoxy of the crew, if it had to be in order, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton advanced dressing room makeup removal, followed by Roland Allen and Robert Patrick who played T-1000; And now? Cameron just shouted OK and asked Roland to wait by the camera, and when they took the photo first, the makeup artist who was guarding the side removed his makeup first.

After a few hours, when Roland needed to go up, they were helping Roland to make him.

In the words of these makeup artists, that is, the cosmetics used during filming make the actors look more distinctive, and there are many harmful substances in them, which are attached to the skin for a long time, which is not good for the body.

For such remarks, Roland just smiled and did not speak.

Of course he knew what these guys were up to-

If it weren't for the fact that Cameron would have answered one of Roland's 'stupid' questions in an angry tone, how could these guys suddenly be so obsessed with him?

You know, Cameron is the boss of the crew!

Even if he is laughed at by Roland's question, he will repeat all the processes in the scolding voice, and this kind of teaching method, there is no second person in Hollywood who can enjoy it......

To put it mildly, when Cameron slapped his head and spat flying, some things couldn't be changed.

Even if he doesn't say it directly, others will think it......

Longevity!

This grumpy director actually started to take apprentices!
