Chapter 108: The Past Three Days
Charlize didn't have Charlotte's desire to challenge herself, but she had to challenge herself.
No way, who made her the heroine of "Happy Death Day"?
As the only person among the current actors who understands the entire context of the script, she has to take responsibility for connecting the plot.
In Toby's opinion, she may just be performing over and over again, relying on her relationship with the director to not be scolded.
But she herself understands that what she is performing is actually a completely different plot one after another.
The last moment, she may have woken up for the first time without the memory of being killed, and the next moment, she may have become awakened again after being stabbed to death.
It's really hard!
Even the first few wake-up shots were performed by Alexis.
In the script, when the character Cui woke up the first few times, her heart had not changed, which required her to show enough Bichi taste.
Charlize isn't good at that.
So, Charlotte asks Charlize to hand over control of the first few performances to Alexis.
This is not only in line with their original plan to make Alexis look like a living person, but also limited by Charlize's acting skills.
Charlize was of course not happy about this, but after subconsciously watching Alexis's performance, she had to admit that she couldn't make such a flexible expression.
No wonder Charlotte called the acting requirements for the role of "Cui" Yan Yi! ”
Charlize thought with some depression in his heart.
However, she is not without her strengths.
After consulting with Alexis, all the offending performances were put under her control, and because of her sharp personality, Charlize was at ease in this regard.
"If this continues, I will become very good at playing bad women in the future!"
The girl seems to see her future.
The scenes in the dormitory, the crew filmed for two and a half days.
At first, Toby really didn't understand, so he could only follow Charlize's performance and deal with it with a little embarrassment.
But after a day, watching the director have been shooting a set of scenes repeatedly, but the content in it is gradually different, he gradually came to his senses-
Presumably Mr. Director wanted me to give some natural reaction without knowing it?
Compared to being targeted by the director, this idea made him feel a lot more relaxed when performing. He improvises more on his own, no, rather in the way of a "cute nerd".
Although, the act of improvisation itself is not an easy thing for a novice like Toby.
"Good job, Toby!"
In the end, he was praised by the assistant director Lao Gun.
- By the way, but now Toby doesn't understand why Mr. Richard Arsenal is called "the old gun". But that's what everyone called, and he went with the flow.
And after encouraging him, the old gun handed him a new script,
"Young man, look at this! The answers to your previous doubts are all here!"
Toby flipped through the script......
"I see!!"
As the old gun had expected, Toby showed a look of sudden realization,
"It's an interesting story. ”
"Right!"
The old gun nodded,
"If you study it carefully, the performance that follows is not for Sally to take you to it. ”
- It would have been better sooner!
Although Toby wanted to complain like this, in the face of the assistant director, he still didn't have the courage to do so.
"Old, old gun?"
Toby spoke awkwardly - he was still not used to the nickname of the old gun,
"Does Mr. Director not like me very much?"
- Well, he's still a little worried about that.
"How do you have that thought?"
The old gun gave the old boy a strange look.
"Otherwise, why didn't I even see him at the audition?"
Toby spoke out the suspicions he had been stuffing in his heart for days,
"And he rarely communicates with me during filming?"
"He happened to have something else going on when you auditioned, so he didn't come. ”
The old gun slapped Toby on the shoulder,
"Young man, film well, don't think nonsense! It was he who recommended you to play the leading role, how could he not be optimistic about you?"
- Is that so?
Toby didn't know what to say for a moment.
And the old gun continued to answer his later questions:
"As for rarely communicating with you...... To be honest, he's not the kind of director who particularly likes to communicate with actors when filming. ”
- Actually, you should be glad that he doesn't communicate with you.
The old gun muttered in his heart.
During the filming of "Fatal Bend", Lao Gun found that once Charlotte sat in the director's seat, the whole person would be in a completely different state than usual-
Usually this guy doesn't talk much, but he can't be taciturn. But when it came time to shoot, he rarely spoke.
He is more like a tiger lurking in the grass, always keeping an eye on the actors' performances, ready to pounce and tear up the worst of them.
And once the tiger pounced, he wouldn't be silent. It's just that communicating with him at that time was never a good experience.
This, even Charlize, who has an unusual relationship with Charlotte, is not immune.
"However, this time he did relax a little more than he did in Fatal Corner. ”
As an assistant director, Lao Gun also understands that the sense of oppression is actually not only Charlotte's style, but also a feedback of the pressure he himself is under.
In fact, most directors, no matter what their usual temper is, there are few who have a particularly good temper on the set.
They are under the pressure of success or failure of the whole film, and they are also made difficult by the producer from time to time, and it is strange to have a good temper.
The so-called "tyrants on the set" are not the worst-tempered directors, but just the more famous of them.
Of course, it can't be said that there are no good-tempered directors, but most of them are well-known directors who have been famous for a long time and have made countless films.
On the one hand, they have enough experience to take on the pressure of being a director, and they can even ignore it;
On the other hand, they also have enough prestige to allow them to command the crew and actors like they command the crew and actors without the help of a bad temper.
But even these famous directors, when they first came out, their tempers were actually not much better.
"I can only say that the director's job is not easy to do!"
The old gun smiled helplessly.
This is also one of the reasons why he was reluctant to take over the guide tube of "Fatal Bend" at the beginning-
He's a good guy, and as an assistant director who coordinates the crew, he can do it easily.
can let him be a director to command others, but he feels that he can't bear that kind of pressure.
"Being a director requires talent!"
In fact, before the filming of "Fatal Bend", the old gun didn't know that Charlotte still had talent in this area.
But after the filming of "Fatal Bend", compared with today, Lao Gun found that Charlotte does have the talent to be a director, and he is improving very quickly-
At the time of "Fatal Bend", the rhythm of his shooting was still a little impatient, but now, it has calmed down a lot;
He's learned to work on key shots over and over again, rather than rushing to the ground.
But even so, the overall shooting progress of the film has not slowed down.
This shows that he has a clearer idea of the film in his heart, and at the same time, the command of the crew is also clearer.
Only in this way will the efficiency of the shooting be improved, and the time lost due to repeated carving will be recovered.
Of course, because the crew has a lot of acquaintances, after experiencing the cooperation of "Fatal Bend", the tacit understanding is also a factor......
Charlotte didn't know that the old gun was praising his progress in his heart.
After all, although he can do sorcery, he can't read minds.
At this time, he was directing the drama and group performers, arranging the scene at the door of the actor's dormitory-
This scene, like the scene in the dormitory, had to be filmed in dozens of different versions.
And, the point is, the heroine Cui wants to play Guo Ben's ...... here
