Chapter 245: It's too Hanks and Roberts
The shot that was originally out of the axis became "part of the plan", and it was shot smoothly, and then two more shots were taken because of Ye Wei's aura. As a result, the progress of the work fell even more, far more than half an hour.
Ye Wei plans to improve the success rate of the performance and pull the time back, which depends on the performance of the actors, even if they are not perfectionists, they cannot be good-take.
This should work, because these superstars, old actors, and young genius actors are not likely to make low-level mistakes such as misplace, forgetting words, etc. Roberts's few no-line moves around the scene quite smoothly, and it is still the kitchen scene, and then "Richard" walks in, greets, listens to messages from the phone message machine, and calls Stan, a nobleman in his career, to no avail, while "Cheryl" goes in and out, busy with dinner.
16 - Interior - Kitchen - Daytime
Cheryl walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, took out some ingredients and started making a salad. Suddenly, Richard came in through the side door of the kitchen.
Richard: Hi.
Cheryl: Hey, Frank is here.
Richard: Oh, did Stan Grossman call?
Cheryl: Go check the message machine.
Richard walked over and turned on the voice message.
Message machine: Hello, you have a message.
The message machine starts to rewind. Cheryl spoke loudly to Dewyn, who was still reading.
Cheryl: Dewyan...... where are the chickens, please!, and I didn't bring them in the car...... Can you help me set the table first? We're going to use disposable plates tonight.
Dewynne closed the page and left. Cheryl took off the coat she wore to work and exited in the opposite direction. A message on the phone rang.
Cindy (voice coming from the phone): Cheryl, I'm Cindy, listen, there's great news for you! Remember last month when Oliver competed here for the "Little Sunshine Beauty" regional contest?
Richard (shouting at Shirley): Your sister's call!
(to himself) Damn!
He turned off the message, picked up the phone and started dialing. Shirley re-in, quickly slips on a t-shirt, and goes back to making salads.
This is the first half of the scene in number 16, and if you ask different directors "how would you shoot?", you will get different answers, some people may use 5 or 6 shots, or more or less, some people may prefer double shots, and some people may prefer single close-up shots.
Ye Wei thinks that this paragraph has coherence, so he designed a long shot for this purpose, excluding "Di Wyann closed the page and left", and the camera moved in the kitchen.
This shot is Hanks' first performance on the set of "Little Miss Sunshine", and "Richard" appears on the set. Ye Wei and many people think that it should be a pass, even if it is not, the problem will not be in Hanks's performance......
In the movement of the camera, Hanks goes from walking into the kitchen to muttering and swearing, making a phone call, Roberts walks in, and the shot ends.
“cut。 Ye Wei shouted to stop, Maurer then turned off the camera, the clicking sound of the film stopping, and everyone looked at the young director, how about it? Hanks' opening shot is good-take or ng......
Maurer is nervous about Ye Wei, the 50-year-old man is a two-time Oscar winner, a Hollywood superstar who has cooperated with big directors for many years and can direct himself; Not to mention a 17-year-old prodigy, if you change to other directors who don't have an Oscar for Best Director or a nominated talisman, facing the two of them, how many will have no pressure in their hearts?
A lot of actors are just humanoid props, but Tom Hanks isn't, and neither is Julia Roberts.
For this kind of superstar actors, they don't need much director guidance in performance, they have their own play.
On the other hand, each director will have his own ideas......
When what you want is consistent with the superstar's performance, of course it's good, but if it's inconsistent, what should you do?
When he was the cinematographer of "Cheerleader Sailor", Maurer had already seen it on the set, director Peyton Reed said that, but the lead actor Kirsten Dunst said "I think it's better", compared to Dunst, a superstar among young actresses, Peyton Reed is just a small director, so he can only smile and say "That's it", and then continue filming, only he knows what mood he feels.
Hanks and Roberts, on the other hand, are much more superstars than Dunst.
"Good!" Ye Wei said. Everyone smiled, and it was just a pass! It's really smooth, isn't it? This is not unexpected, Hanks + Roberts! The two superstars in front of the camera look relaxed, obviously comfortable with the interpretation of the role, and the feeling of playing the opposite role is very good.
Jennifer Anderson smiled too, as if she could feel time slowing down.
Then keep another one......
"Number two, I want to make a little bit of a performance adjustment. Ye Wei said suddenly.
Because it is a film shooting, for the sake of insurance, you need to "protect one", and you can not protect those spare materials in a race against time, but you must protect important shots. This, of course, slowed down the filming, one of Gozman's concerns, and the eight days on the set of "The Exorcism" were not saved from start to finish.
For a moment, the whole set was silent, Maurer, Anderson and others were stunned, words can be false, actions can't be fake, if the first article is really good, then the second article for the purpose of "keeping one" should want to be 100% copied, why make a "little bit" adjustment?
Doesn't that mean that he is actually not satisfied with the performance of the first one!Hanks + Roberts, not satisfied!?
Even if it's a superstar, ng will definitely have it, but everyone is surprised that it's so fast, the performance just now looks very good, viy really dares not to give face......
Even Hanks was slightly stunned at this time, and Roberts grinned slightly, as if he was very amused.
Ye Wei didn't make a big deal out of a trivial matter, he looked like the most normal situation in this situation, reduced the bad impact, and walked over to beckon the two of them to take a step to talk. This is really a move that can't be helped, if there was such a thing as teleportation, he wouldn't do it, but unfortunately not.
Other offline personnel conspicuously did not ask, gossip or bother, did their own thing, and pretended to do things when they had nothing to do.
In the dining room scene outside the kitchen, watching the lively Alan Arkin and Tim Rose laughing and talking, Arkin said, "That kid is really guts." Ross said: "Very bold, look at him, not timid at all." Paul Dano, who was also watching from a distance, really sweated for Ye Wei, this guy is too fierce!
I'm a rampaging newcomer, I don't know any rules! Ye Wei shouted in his heart, suppressing the slightest hesitation.
The effect was average during the rehearsal before, but now the two of them are even worse, and the difference is that this is not what he wants. This is the scene at the beginning of the story, and he is still in the stage of building the characters, and he can't "do it like this, that's Hanks and Roberts", he knows he can't, he has to say no.
Otherwise, again and again, this will just become a film with a pile of stars, only Hanks and Roberts, no Richard and Cheryl, a qiē mess!
The three of them walked to the corner of the scene, not far from everyone, just a few steps, focusing on the etiquette on the set.
"How's that?" Hanks's relaxed tone, not angry, encouraged, "If you have any ideas, just say it." Roberts nodded, "You're the director, we're the actors." ”
Echo worms and megalomania are not called genius directors, this is their opinion, this stinky boy has proven that he is not a sound worm, and megalomania?
"Okay. Ye Wei is about to start directing again, nervous, much more nervous than directing Nicolas Cage in "The Wedding is Coming", cameos and starring, spoofs and seriousness, with and without Master Gia, the difference is too big, and now I really miss Master Jiya, do you want to encourage her to drop out of school for the second time?
Looking at the two of them, he said gently and seriously, "Tom, you played a little too 'Hanks' just now, and Julia, you were a little too 'Roberts'." "Oh yes, say it, the Oscar-winning actress didn't actually have any performance just now!
"Oh?" Hanks and Roberts both looked moved, not only a matter of a certain performance detail, but also the shaping of the character, they felt different from the director?
Ye Wei's heart was relieved when he said it, Hanks's acting path is very wide, it's okay to be stupid, it's okay to be strict, as far as recent years are concerned, his screen image in "Desert Island", "Get Away" and "Happiness Terminal" is completely different, and now he has used the style of a good guy in comedy, and it seems that he has not left New York JFK Airport, and his Richard is far from anxious enough, he doesn't need to shout Wilson so much, just a little more.
And Roberts played too sweet, she can't play unsweet, "Never Compromise" is fully demonstrated, but she seems to be immersed in the joy of being a first-time mother, maybe flashing how to hold the two babies before coming to the set in the morning, their fleshy little hands and feet, clicking laughter, she didn't play Cheryl's troubles enough.
Ye Wei continued: "Tom, we have reached a consensus before about Richard's psychological state, I think you can play better in the anxious and annoying part, Richard's self-confidence is just posturing, I want a heavier feeling of a small person pretending to be a big person." Julia, you are so happy, Cheryl is a very annoying, very tired housewife, here I think there is still a little absent-minded, she does these chores not like to do, do it very casually. ”
In one breath, looking at the two superstars whose expressions had not changed, he really muttered a little secretly, and became a little nervous, if these two said or said together "I have reservations, I think I acted well", if so, he seems to have no way to ask for anything......
But he will still try, and all the beliefs are to be a good director.
