"absp; As a road movie, of course, it is impossible to lack the driving scenes on the highway, the LMS crew began to focus on shooting the driving scenes after filming those exterior scenes with grandpa in the past few days.

Six people sat in the bus and talked, the bus was moving forward, there were front seats, side seats, rear seats, and in-car seats......

How to shoot these, maybe the actors are sitting in a fake car in front of the blue screen and the green screen, acting like they are really driving, and then the driving scenery is synthesized through guò post-production special effects.

For LMS, the trailer and the car frame are the key to success, and in the on-set work photos taken by Fernando in the crew's camera car, it is now like this:

On the deserted road, the yellow-and-white Volkswagen bus is dragged forward by a small trailer, with a large pile of photographic equipment set up on the rear platform of the trailer, and the microphone pole is suspended high, and the caterpillar-like gun microphone is close to the windshield bus, and Maurer and several people are standing there with seat belts in place to operate the camera.

On the left side of the bus, there is also a small car rack, which is called "hostess-tray" on the set, which fixes another camera on the side of the bus, and can also be repeatedly assembled and disassembled and applied to any camera position on the body.

The leading actors sat in the car, and Hanks, who was in charge of driving, put his hands on the steering wheel and acted as driving.

Director Ye Wei will not be photographed, because he is sitting in the camera car next to him, wearing a communication headset, watching the performances of the actors on the monitor, and commanding at any time.

Beside him, art director Donald Burt, scene writer Lynn and several others were also watching, doing their jobs.

This is part of the LMS driving footage, and there are a lot of them that are actually driving, and the camera car is next to it or shooting from a distance.

"Cut, this one is fine, but Alan, I want your expression to be a little bigger."

Ye Wei said into the microphone head of the headphones, the sound was transmitted to the headphones of Maurer and others on the opposite side and into the bus, and the expressions of the leading actors on the monitor were relaxed, and Alan Arkin made an OK gesture.

Soon as Maurer said an "A" as he approached, a new one began to shoot again.

In fact, Ah Jin's ng times are very few, the old guy is too good at acting, and the role of "grandpa" is not difficult for him, just relying on his true colors to perform is very good, more like he has been acting for so many years, and finally ushered in a role that is most suitable for him.

Even if he is NG, it will not be difficult to solve, Ye Wei usually simply says his requirements, Ah Jin will understand what he wants, and the next one will be adjusted properly.

But it was not without disagreement, the night before Grandpa's death, in the scene between Grandpa and Oliver in room 13 of the motel, Ye Wei and Ah Jin almost quarreled.

That scene is after Grandpa and Oliver practiced the competition dance, Oliver should go to bed, Grandpa settled her and was about to leave, Oliver called him back four times, revealing his anxiety about losing the beauty pageant tomorrow and becoming a loser, crying, Grandpa has been encouraging her, and finally Oliver fell asleep peacefully, and Grandpa left.

The next day, Grandpa never woke up.

Ye Wei thinks that this is a farewell scene, every time the grandfather turns around and goes back, there must be obvious emotional changes that the audience can intuitively feel, increasing again and again, and there are some coaxing actions to create the warm and sincere side of the vulgar and uninhibited grandfather, he loves his granddaughter so much.

And Ah Jin thinks that this is a normal scene, because in Grandpa's opinion, tomorrow he will wake up as usual, he will see Oliver participating in the beauty pageant, there is no sense of parting, he is still the old hippie with a big grin, he turned around and went back four times, he is not impatient, but he also does not have a lot of feelings, emotionally it is a whole, and it is usually warm.

In fact, this disagreement stems from the difference in perception angles, the director's perspective and the actor's perspective.

Ye Wei agrees with Ah Jin, usually, grandpa doesn't have a particularly big feeling, he doesn't want to be emotional, but usually doesn't mean that there can't be emotional level changes.

"Trust me, young man, I've been a grandfather for many years."

"I know, Alan, but I really think it's better to be a little layered."

This kind of situation will occur on every set, even an actor who is acting for the first time will have his own understanding of the role.Ye Wei doesn't know that director Ah Jin is an old actor, more trust is likely to be more surprises, but this scene is too important, he can't give up his opinion.

"Sometimes we just need to make the story alive and give it to the audience to feel." At that time, the two had come aside, and Ah Jin's words were a bit instructive, and rookie directors often had to express themselves too much, control the characters, and control the audience's emotional direction, so it wasn't good, but he hoped to get his grandfather's control rights.

"This is grandpa's little play, he's an old bastard in the front, he's an old bastard in the back, we've got to make him cute, Alan, you know, cute! That's why I want levels, an old bastard becomes a cute old bastard, I won't build the details of your performance, but I want levels!"

Ye Wei continued to persuade that although the director is the king, he also has an envoy. [,!] when not moving." Why don't we shoot two versions and make a comparison when we edit?"

"Young man, don't do this with my old thing." Ah Jinhe's old face smiled, how could he not know that as long as the director's version is played, the actor's version will become garbage on the floor of the editing room." This scene is not that complicated, this family usually has a lot of problems, and grandpa is not the first time to comfort Oliver, he is not very serious."

"He's not very serious, but he's very tender, look at this Ellen, 'He's got Oliver's head straight,' ......"

"Don't come, we all know that the script can be changed at any time, and the lines I said today aren't all written in the script, right?"

"You know what? Grandpa didn't comfort Oliver for the first time, but Oliver doesn't usually cry at every turn, and here she cries!

"Children cry at every turn."

"Oliver is not, because she was raised under the strict requirements of Richard, Richard will say, 'Only losers cry', she doesn't like to cry.

"Young man, you're really an academic."

"Yes, I'm academic, that's how I understand it."

"Oliver may not be crying, I don't know, but young man, I know her emotions are very simple, if you want to say the script, just look at this,' he scratched her armpits, and she couldn't help laughing, 'This kid didn't think about it that much, and neither did Grandpa, just an ordinary conversation.'"

"Oliver's simplicity is not the same as grandpa's simplicity, Oliver is innocent and simple that has not been tarnished by society, and grandpa is simple and different from seeing through the world too much."

The more the old and the young talked, the more excited they became, and their arguments could be heard throughout the motel set, from one scene to the whole story, from one character to a group of characters.

There will only be one winner in this conflict, and it's time for everyone else to do something, but with authority, Donald Burt has it, and he prefers Arkin because it fits his grandfather's overall style; Assistant director Jennifer Anderson has, she is also inclined to Ah Jin, and persuaded Ye Wei: "Director, Alan knows what he is playing, so leave it to him?"

Ah Jin is too respectable, and although everyone agrees that Viy is a prodigy, he is still more willing to believe the old man when there is a disagreement.

Hanks, who also came to reconcile, and Roberts laughed and persuaded Ye Wei to "calm down", which is actually equivalent to saying don't fight, Ah Jin has enough qualifications to be disobedient, this is the right of an actor.

Ye Wei really sulked at this, Ah Jin can indeed be disobedient, and it is not necessarily bad to hand it over to him, but ......

However, at this moment, Ah Jin, who was supported by almost everyone, smiled and sighed, "You are the director, and you are in charge of your movie, just follow the plan you said." Everyone was a little surprised, but it was also a little bit that Ah Jin was not a man who relied on the old man to sell the old. The old man said, "You'd better not make me look like a fool in the future."

"It's just going to be a cute old bastard grandpa!" Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief in surprise, it's great, it's great to be able to get the effect he wants!

He was very grateful in his heart, Ah Jin's insistence on his opinion would not hurt anything, but the old man finally chose to give in, trust and fulfill the young man; At the same time, there is a little more pressure, no matter how confident you are, you can't guarantee that your plan will really be more touching in the end, and the answer will only be known when it is released.

The following filming Ah Jin acted very well, and this matter was successfully resolved.

It was already a few days ago, much earlier than Emma came to make a cameo, and it undoubtedly enhanced Ye Wei's authority a lot, and everyone didn't know the answer, but at least it could be handed over to the director now.

And after filming all the scenes of his grandfather driving today, Alan Akin's scene is finished, and he is going to say goodbye to the crew.

It will be dark in Toronto very late in the summer, and the sky is still bright at this time, and the food supply in the circus with groups of vehicles, the online staff, the supervisors and the idlers are gathered around the food table, each holding something to eat, laughing and laughing, looking at Ah Jin with reluctance, this is the kind of good actor who is always willing to eat lunch with him.

"Alan, you're one of the best actors I've ever worked with, your watch is incredibly good, and you've taught me a lot, thank you."

At this moment, Ye Wei did not deliberately maintain his authority as a director, and he didn't need to shoot at this stage, he raised the mineral water in his hand, looked around at everyone, and smiled sincerely: "This old man, he is one of my mentors.

Everyone smiled and nodded, seeing Viy's modest and respectful side, some of them just had a greater affection.

"I have to say, little ghost." Ah Jin also held up the mineral water, and the sign was laughing with a cold face, calling him a little ghost in public in the crew for the first time, "Your director's table is also unbelievable enough, do you remember the previous disagreement between us? A rookie director who doesn't want to express himself can only make a script, you are not, you can make a movie."

"Thank you!" Ye Wei went to hug Ah Jin, this old man's joining opened the door to dreams, this old man's support, this old man's teachings, thank you!

"Keep working hard to make this film right, that's what I and everyone else expects from you." Ah Jin patted the young man on the shoulder, "Go for it."

"It's not just this movie, I'm going to always try to make a good movie.". Ye Wei said, suddenly felt that Ah Jin's plan was actually really good, when you made up your mind, the most ordinary tone has already told your greatest strength.

Everyone is reluctant to give up Ah Jin, but the movie crew is like this, someone will leave first, and someone will come.

Arndt's arrival was just a visit, purely as a screenwriter, of course he was not Doris Day, and he was even classified as a miscellaneous person on the set.But the LMS crew was not so mean, he was still courteous, mainly because King Ye Wei gave a smile, not only did he not blackface the screenwriter, but also let Arndt follow him, and introduced him a lot when he was free.

Happy, curious, can't believe it, dreams come true, this is Arndt's feeling, he is like many screenwriters, he was a rookie on the set at the beginning, basically did not understand those equipment and equipment, many times he wanted to express his opinion, but he was already reminded by producer Peter Heller not to point fingers, just watch it.

So when the excitement passed, the biggest feeling he had when he stayed on the set was boredom, writing a script and making a movie were completely different things, and he could finally understand why many screenwriters stayed on the set for a day and said, "I'll never come again."

So after eating lunch twice on the LMS set, Arndt left.

As the time ticked into late May, Meryl Streep arrived on the crew.
