Chapter 435: Give me a high-five
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work these days, I believe that what will be shown on the screen will be a good movie, thank you !!"
On the evening of Saturday, March 31, on Kauai, Hawaii, "Soul Surfer" finished filming as magic time ended.
27 working days, 31 days, a total of 1 month. It's like a full-powered sports car for a regular project, an average for a small-budget stand-alone project, but a budget of 10 million is not a small cost, and for a non-union exploitation project, it's a bit long, and Roger Coman, the king of B-movies, affirms it and says, "It's slow." ”
Regardless of the quality, enough footage was shot. Thanks to digital technology, there are many time-consuming processes such as maintaining a line, and the daily working hours are long enough, so in the past, this month can be filmed on film for at least one and a half months, and "Brokeback Mountain" was filmed for two months.
Both days were spent filming the final stage scene of the script, using the largest group performance scale of the filming period, and all the main character actors came.
As early as half a month ago, Damian Rush came, and he played Alana's brother "Byron", which was an indispensable small role, and Byron was also present on the day of Bethany's accident.
Damian and Ye Wei's friendship began at Wexford Art School, and then because of his brother "Ramon" who starred in "The Exorcism Video", he also received attention from Hollywood, but temporarily stayed in Toronto to develop, and this time he was invited by Ye Wei to join.
On his first day on the set, the first thing he saw with Dolan was as if Jack and Ennis had reunited. Whether the two started dating or not, Ye Wei and the others didn't know, only that they became good friends.
The 20th is Dolan's 17th birthday. At the end of the day, the crew threw a simple birthday party for him, and around a huge birthday cake, everyone sang a happy birthday song, and Damien sang affectionately.
Love is free, let them be.
Just two days ago, on March 18, Ye Wei scolded Andrew Garfield, which made his eyes a little teary. The director scolded people as a matter of course, and everyone couldn't say anything, and at that time, Jiya had already left the crew, and there was no one who could say a few words about him.
The incident originated from Garfield's NG a few times, and it was just a simple shot, and he accidentally saw Bethany working hard alone at the beach, showing a big brother's smile.
But Ye Wei was not satisfied with how he filmed, and he didn't give any advice, and Garfield finally couldn't help asking: "Director, how should I act?"
Ye Wei suddenly erupted, scolding like a machine gun: "You can take over this role for two months! You haven't studied it? Have you done your homework?!That's it? If you think it's a small role, you treat it sloppily, and be lazy like Garfield? You just want to be a puppet of the director? I won't give you a direct, I'll spend it with you today, I have time to spend with you, until you play it yourself, and then this scene can pass! Do you want to be a star, if you continue like this, you can only become a microdot! No one. Cry, FUCK-YOU, man. This is not London, you can't be like a fog and don't know what to do! Welcome back to the United States, the hypocrites who have robbed the land of the native Hawaiians and talked about the Tibet issue, the United States has enough waste, and there is no need for you to have more!"
At that time, there was silence on the set, some of the people avoided their eyes, some were stunned, Emma and Xie Lin were frightened, they had never seen it, and Maurer and other old members had never seen such a VIY, such as James Cameron or "Little Tyrant", what happened?
Ye Wei was very friendly to Garfield before. Everyone thought that probably because of Gia's departure, Garfield became the director's punching bag.
It was only that night that Emma called Gia to talk about it, and Gia said, "Lily has a birthday today. ”
The director doesn't need a reason to be angry, and God on the set doesn't need to apologize to anyone.
That shot Garfield took five more shots before it passed, and there was more action to turn away and look back and smile.
Ye Wei didn't say anything after shouting CUT, and patted him on the shoulder. And Colin Firth and Helen Hunt both encouraged Garfield afterwards, for fear that this excellent young actor would not be able to stand the blow and become dull.
But that day, the entire filming period, there was also that directorial explosion, and Garfield unfortunately became the only unlucky ghost. But since then, he's worked harder and better, and it's a blessing in disguise.
Colin Firth and Helen Hunter, two veteran movie stars, get along well with VIY, and if the two of them were to evaluate this talented director, there would definitely be words such as respect, talent, and professionalism.
Fez's role is no less layered than "Bethany", and unlike Emma, he is able to complete the interpretation with ease. There is no difficulty in the introverted and quiet play, but he plays less laughter, and he has to do more communication and rehearsals, and he also feels that there has been a breakthrough in this aspect, and I am really looking forward to seeing the face of this performance.
Playing a good wife and mother is not difficult for Helen Hunt to perform in her true colors. But Ye Wei kept reminding her that "Xie Li" is not just a good wife and mother, but also the pain she endured and the torment in her heart must be expressed. In the corresponding scenes, Hunter did perform that kind of mood, and she and Ye Wei were satisfied.
......
After playing "Alana", Xie Lin has gained a lot.
Maybe it's because it's the first time she works with VIY, she doesn't know what changes he has, in her opinion, this Ye Wei's confidence, passion and professionalism are already awe-inspiring. Isn't it enough that only three years older than her, an 18-year-old boy can be like him?
I don't know if Ye Wei has done his best, Xie Lin has really improved, and the biggest gain is a mentality.
He helped her build the mentality, from the preparation period after the audition, to the start of filming and the finale, she learned how to be a good actress, and she was confident that she could do it.
Xie Lin regards VIY as a big brother, a very humorous, easy-going, amiable, and thoughtful person at work, who is very happy on his set, except for the time when he scolds Garfield. Now everyone calls Garfield not to his last name, but to Garfield, the nickname on the set.
This is her first time working with a truly extraordinary director, and I really hope to have the next time and the next time I work with VIY.
Sometimes I wonder, how powerful is the "Ye Wei before" that I often heard? Is it like that in "VIY"? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's a pity.
Xie Lin is full of confidence in the quality of "Soul Surfer", how hard the crew has worked, she sees that it can't become a bad movie just because VIY goes out at night, right?
Yes, I also gained Emma's good friend.
......
"After the celebration banquet tonight, I will wait for you on the lawn by the pool, if you don't come, I won't leave. ”
When the set ended in the evening, Emma said to Ye Wei non-negotiable that it was time to make a decision!
In this month and a half in Hawaii, it was completely different from what she thought before she left, work and life, and she didn't even have a single date with him! But in the evening, he was gone again.
She thought that she would be scolded by him a few times on the set, or that there would be some difficult moments. The fact is that after a period of preparation and the establishment of the style of the first week of shooting, such as heat, skills, and details, her NG times became less and less, and her acting became more and more neat.
The further back she played, the more Emma realized that she was right, that her previous performance was child-oriented, with heavy traces, and many times there were too many details or confusion.
This time, she recognized "streamlined" to act, sometimes after acting in a scene, she felt expressionless, thinking "Oh no, it must be NG", but she said "Good acting". When she asked why it went so well, he said, "You got in control and got into a great shape." ”
"Actually, you're not stupid, and it's not that hard to act. You're still young, and some of them are malleable, but you haven't laid a good foundation before, thinking that Nickelodeon's set is enough, no. Continue to maintain this direction of performance, don't just act in commercial youth films, at least one literary film every year, you will see your aunt's realm, whether you can see your hard work. ”
However, the more aspects that criticized her were cooperation, and there was a long talk:
"You don't just play by yourself, there is chemistry when there is a rival scene, a group scene, sometimes you don't blend in, like they are acting in one movie, you are acting in another movie. There are only two possible bad outcomes, one is that you beat them, and the other is that you are like 'Hey, they're characters and I'm Emma Roberts'. It's not a one-man show, you have to pay attention to the overall coordination, the style, the emotion, everything. ”
Emma really didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, and had a kind of "just do your own thing" mentality, until he told her that he couldn't.
"A group drama really tests an actor, if one person plays well and covers the audience, it's nothing. The characters and performances that are always hot are easy to be appreciated and remembered by the audience, like Jack Nicholson's Joker, Johnny, like other psychos, but the real greatness is him in "One Flew Over the Asylum". and Marlon Brando in "The Godfather", who was expressionless almost the whole time, but very shocking.
You know, they lead the whole lineup, they don't make the others disappear, they don't wander out of the group, they don't show each other, they are one of the people in the story. This is the attitude of a great actor. ”
But what was asked of her wasn't for her to lead the lineup, and she was nowhere near that. To say who is the leader, Colin Firth. What she wants to do is not to fall behind and become a shining light.
After the finale, Emma breathed a long sigh of relief, after going through so much and nepotism, she was almost going to jail, and if she didn't act well, she couldn't forgive herself.
She's tried her best, she's tried her best, but has she tried her best? She doesn't think so.
I thought I would have some romantic time and fall in love in beautiful Hawaii......
The fact is that before he came, he suddenly became distracted, Huo Huohuo has a few more gossip girlfriends, I really don't know if she beat his brain, and coming to Hawaii is even more excessive, going out to fool around every day, surfing athletes, and Scarlett Johansson running to the set!
Look at your own tablet, it's okay, there will definitely be a C ...... in the future No matter how there is a B, it would be nice to change the transcript and this one.
Hey, Scarlett Johansson can't let her break down yet, I'm really worried that one day, Anne Hathaway will also come to visit the class, and that will be her idol.
I can't continue! Jiya can't stand it, she can't stand it either, and she suffers in her heart every day, which really helps her performance mood. But she always had faith in Weiwei, and her father wasn't worse back then, taking drugs or something, and then he got better.
Emma believes that only for the better will be again, and it is because of her!
The finale celebration banquet was held at the St. Regis Prince Hotel, everyone was very happy, and after the banquet, she set off with excitement and anticipation!
When I go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, my identity will be Ye Wei's girlfriend, it must be!
......
Under the starlit night sky, there is a large green space to the southwest of the hotel, and the vast sea is just outside it.
A petite figure of a young girl stood by a big tree, wearing a white T-shirt, an apricot skirt and a blue denim jacket, holding a small brown handbag in her hand, her sweet face was wearing light makeup, and her long blonde hair with a headband was swayed by the sea breeze.
At this time, her eyes lit up, revealing a smile like the little girl next door, and walked towards the tall boy who came over.
"Only!"
"Emma. ”
Ye Wei looked at Emma's smile and could guess what she was going to do, or asked, "What's the matter?"
"Stroll. How romantic it is to stroll along the beach under the moonlit night. Emma blinked wide, as if she were flirting. Ye Wei shrugged: "I know you have something to say, let's say it now, while April Fool's Day has not yet arrived, let's not joke, let's talk seriously." ”
Emma calmed down, looked at the quiet surroundings, had already thought about confession, felt that there was an atmosphere, and said softly: "However, we have known each other for two years. ”
"Nearly two years. Ye Wei said.
"Don't interrupt me! I've only lived a total of 15 years, and that's ...... of my life." 333%。 ”、“13。 333% of the time! Ten years from now, it's ......", "60%", "60% of the time!", "It's actually 48%. "You bastard, I'm serious!", "Aren't you Emma." ”
Emma didn't laugh, the more funny he was, the more unsettling it made her, and he wanted to be giggled, so he could ......
She raised her hand to cover his mouth, and said gently: "When we met, you, you still had a relationship, and then until now, we are obviously a very suitable couple, and we kissed! Today I'm going to tell you, once again. ”
Ye Wei listened quietly, his expression untouched.
"I've always loved you!" said Emma, with a sincere heart, without any show, "I like you, and this love has not disappeared with the passage of time and our changes, but it has become more intense. No one I know has ever made me feel as sure that I like you. ”
Ye Wei smiled, Emma suddenly smiled, let go of his mouth, and said: "You are a hundred times more emotional than me, we read the same book, the same news, you will always have more feelings." So being expelled, being cut off, falling out of love will definitely have a big impact on you, but it's time to move forward. ”
She said excitedly, holding his hands, "I'm 15 years old, and I'm not just a little girl anymore." You end your relationship with those women, and we're in love right away. Don't look like I'm fierce, actually. ”
"Actually, I'm very gentle. She hurriedly made a gentle look, "When I am my boyfriend, I will give you all the good." Only, promise me, let's get started. ”
Emma looked at him with fixed eyes, and at this moment, her heart was about to stop, and her whole body seemed to be on fire.
"Emma, thank you. Ye Wei smiled, "But all along, I have no feelings for you, only the feeling of being a good friend." ”
"Why?" Emma's face changed instantly, her heart ached so much that she couldn't help but gasp, and she panicked, "Why!? Why don't you want to try it with me? Three dates with the goal of falling in love, let's try it and see how it feels! How much fun we had that day!"
"No why, no feeling is no feeling. Ye Wei withdrew the hand she was holding, "I'm already moving forward, I like my life now." ”
"You don't want those women!?" Emma couldn't help but curse, "do they really like you, do they love you, do they make sense?
"Who cares, just have fun. Ye Wei shrugged again.
Emma became more and more flustered, and hurriedly said loudly: "You are deliberately angry with me, I know, you want me to die." ”
"Nope. Ye Wei sighed helplessly, "That's the way it is, I can't give up several stunners and the entire forest for you to be a little bit." Yes, I'm a big bastard! But there's a little bit of humanity, I don't want to touch you, emotionally, physically, just friends, okay?"
"It's not good...... Emma choked slightly, although she had expected it, when this moment really happened, her heart still seemed to be broken, and she didn't want to let go, "You are deliberately angry with me......"
"Don't be so narcissistic. ”
"You think I'm ugly, so I don't want to be physically?"
"No, you're just too small, and if we do, you're going to fall apart. ”
Emma!! right hand slapped Ye Wei's left cheek violently, her shoulders trembled, her face was full of disappointment, and she stepped back, "Friend, Ye Wei, we are no longer friends! Whether you are deliberately angry with me or not, I don't like you anymore, I don't like you like this, you stink! Maybe one day you will get better, but now...... You're going to die!!"
She retreated and yelled, "You die, I don't like you." You don't like London? I'm moving to London! Find my romantic love! Fuck off. ”
Then she hit a coconut tree behind her, kicked the tree several times in a frenzy, wiped her tears, and turned and ran quickly to the hotel.
Ye Wei watched Emma walk away, vaguely heard a cry in the wind, and suddenly grinned, "Cool." Give me a high five!"
He raised his left hand, raised his right hand, and high-fived himself and himself.
※※
On April 1, in the early morning of leaving Hawaii, Anastasia also confessed to Ye Wei and asked very hopefully: "Can I be your girlfriend? You are my first man, maybe I won't like other boys except you, can we continue seriously?"
"At this point, you seem to be going to fall in love with me, then it's not fun, so let's leave it at that. Ye Wei said with a smile.
Anastasi suddenly felt empty, "Will we meet again, when I get to Los Angeles?"
"No, I'm not the person you're looking for, thank you for giving me a passionate memory. Ye Wei kissed her for the last time and left.
"Weige, you have to get better quickly, don't let yourself continue to be lonely, take care!"
Innocent wishes were heard in the wind.
......
The Boeing plane to Los Angeles flew through the clouds, and 10,000 meters below was the blue Pacific Ocean.
There was silence in the business class, which was full of passengers. Through the small window, Ye Wei looked at the clouds outside, after Emma's confession failed last night, she really ignored him, and she didn't say anything to him on the way back from the crew.
It's no longer a friend, right, and drifting apart should be the end.
Ye Wei closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and pretended to sleep, and asked himself a question in his heart.
Did I really make a movie? yes.
Is there any progress?...... No.
Did you do your best? Yes or no.
Satisfied? maybe.
How many women in Hawaii? a dozen.
Interesting? maybe.
Happy? maybe.
Maybe, I hate maybe.
It's cool. Just have fun. Ye Wei shrugged again.
Emma became more and more flustered, and hurriedly said loudly: "You are deliberately angry with me, I know, you want me to die." ”
"Nope. Ye Wei sighed helplessly, "That's the way it is, I can't give up several stunners and the entire forest for you to be a little bit." Yes, I'm a big bastard! But there's a little bit of humanity, I don't want to touch you, emotionally, physically, just friends, okay?"
