Chapter 372. 【Supporting Actor】

The Osprey military helicopter that Yi Feiyang asked for was really big, not ordinarily big, but very big. So much so that it was more than enough to install five large searchlights.

As the director, Yi Feiyang and the photographer Cindy and others took off in the Osprey helicopter, and Fat Jack, as the assistant director, arranged the shooting below.

After about ten minutes, Yi Feiyang patrolled the shots that needed to be shot in the sky, pointing out where the camera should be buried. Where it is unclear, Yi Feiyang asked the people around him to draw a sketch of the lens, requiring everyone to achieve accurate angles, clear lenses, clear close-ups, and appropriate distances.

"OK! Ready to shoot!" The hectic field immediately began to act.

"Photographers, actors, all in place!" Yi Feiyang held the script in his hand and shouted solemnly.

Immediately, the entire crew was armed at full speed like a war.

Helicopters buzzed.

Yi Feiyang, photographer Cindy and others boarded the helicopter again and began the most difficult aerial overlooking work.

Looking down through a helicopter window, the figure below looks like a moving ant. Rows of vehicles were placed on the Golden Gate Bridge, forming a long iron dragon. The long shot is the endless sea, and then the Golden Gate Bridge is erected on the sea, forming an incomparably magnificent picture.

This set of shots is the most important, and it is the main reason why Yi Feiyang borrowed a military helicopter to shoot.

When shooting from above, there will be many problems, such as air flow, wind speed, and the lack of angle during the shooting, which requires the driver's cooperation to adjust.

Thankfully, the driver was a good soldier in the army, and it seemed more than enough to cope with such an errand, and at the moment he was biting his cigar and spitting out smoke. While following Yi Feiyang's instructions. Constantly adjust the orientation of the aircraft. The camera also captures the scene below with the changing direction.

Cindy has a deep ability to shoot from a high altitude, and she strives to take every shot Yi Feiyang wants into her eyes in the face of strong winds.

This seemingly simple set of lenses took more than half an hour to shoot, and the most fortunate thing is that the shooting light is very perfect, and the lens image does not have the slightest blur.

Thanks to Charlie, the gaffer, for coming up with such a great idea.

……

After the most difficult shots are finished. The rest of the shoot was back on the ground.

When everyone comes down from the sky, the first feeling is that they are finally "down-to-earth". Especially the photographer Cindy, who was working against the strong wind just now, was already dizzy and had a strong feeling of vomiting.

Bending over and retching a few times hard, Yi Feiyang asked someone to bring him a bottle of water.

Cindy thanked her, and after taking a few sips, she sprinkled the water directly on her head and shook her hair. The whole person is much more sober.

"The content of this scene is 'farewell', everyone get ready quickly!" Yi Feiyang issued an order.

Give it a command. Immediately, the man turned on his back.

"Camera Position! Actors are buried! Lamplight...... Action! With Yi Feiyang's shout, the shooting began.

In the jeep, Angelina Jolie is saying goodbye to Johnny Depp, who plays her husband, and they are holding two young actors who play their son and daughter.

"Honey, why don't you come with us!" Depp said.

"No, I'm going to stay here, the lab needs me, and only I can collect the vaccine for the lesion!" Zhu Li said with a serious expression.

"But we ...... We need you too! The child needs you! Depp's voice trembled a little.

The corners of Julie's eyes moistened a little, "Yes, I understand...... I'm sorry, dear! Julie kissed Johnny Depp on the cheek, then leaned down to kiss the child and said, "Remember Mommy, we'll meet soon!" ”

"Mom, don't leave us, we'll miss you!"

Kiss, kiss the child's cheek passionately.

In the close-up, Julie burst into tears, but turned her back, wiped away her tears, and said to Depp: "Take care of the children!" He jumped out of the jeep.

“Cut!” Just after Zhu Li finished performing this scene, Yi Feiyang shouted to stop.

"Julie, Depp, you guys played very well, yes, the performance was in place! Get ready, the next set of shots! ”

……

It seems to have brought out a good start, and the next shooting went well.

In the camera, Morgan Freeman's sonorous voice sounded, "Speed! Hurry up, we have to leave right away! ”

The siren beeped, and it seemed to be urging Julie and Depp to separate.

The jeep starts.

The children cried and waved at their mothers.

Freeman walked up to Julie, who was choking with her back to the child, patted her on the back, and comforted, "Cry loudly, Julie." You're a soldier, but you're a mother! ”

Julie couldn't hold back any longer, and lay on Freeman's shoulder, crying loudly.

“Verygood!” Yi Feiyang clapped his hands and applauded, with a look of joy on his face.

Angelina Jolie performed very well, the kind of Mulan-like heroine who can sacrifice herself for her country in danger. The love of children and the inner world of motherhood are expressed in place. It can be said that Julie performed the role to the fullest, but her performance was not unexpected.

But Morgan Freeman was a big surprise to Yi Feiyang.

It is said that actors can be divided into four types, one is talented but unwilling to work hard, one is willing to work hard but has no talent, and the other is untalented and unwilling to work hard, and the last one is talented and willing to work hard.

Anyone who can become a popular star is basically the fourth type, and those who have talent but don't work hard generally become popular immediately, but they are powerless and slowly depressed. Those who are willing to work hard but have no talent can only become supporting roles. As for those who don't have much talent and are unwilling to work hard, they may even be difficult to be extras!

In Yi Feiyang's view, as an old actor in the black circle of Hollywood in the United States, Morgan Freeman is the kind of person who is both talented and has always worked hard!

You must know that Freeman was very poor in his small family, his father was a hairdresser, and his mother was a cleaner. There are four children in the family. Morgan Freeman came in fourth. It's also the end of the day. He made his stage debut at the age of 8, playing the lead role in a school play. He won an interstate drama competition at the age of 12 and performed in a radio play in Nashville in high school. But for him, all this is to be able to win a scholarship and reduce the burden on his family. So in 1955, Morgan Freeman refused to attend Jackson State University's School of Drama, choosing instead to become a mechanic in the U.S. Air Force because he preferred flying to acting.

After being discharged from the Air Force. Freeman re-entered the theatrical world and stepped onto the big stage, and in less than ten years, he won the Oscar for supporting actor for the first time as a black man, and the following awards continued, establishing his status as Hollywood's leading supporting actor.

Morgan Freeman has played a wide range of roles, from servant to president. His calculating energy has unwittingly become one of the few people in the United States who can please the whole country and can play a movie that is not written specifically for African-American actors. The increase in age and wrinkles has not faded his charm, and he is known as one of the "best actors in America". Many directors have commented that he is a real actor, with all the qualities of the best actors. You can immerse yourself in a variety of different characters. However, for Freeman himself, he is a representative of a late bloomer, and the meal of youth has nothing to do with him

Although Yi Feiyang and Freeman have not had much contact, and this is the first time they have collaborated on a film, but the simple set of shots just now, from the dialogue of the characters to the expressions and movements of the characters, Freeman almost immediately set up the character and spiritual world of the character, God, if you want to know the Tao, it is only three or four pictures. It can be said that Freeman's outstanding performance really made Yi Feiyang a little surprised.

Worthy of being Hollywood's leading supporting actor, Freeman is definitely a genius in acting!

Yi Feiyang sighed secretly.

As for the two young actors, their performance is remarkable, after all, they are children, and it is impossible to require superb acting skills like adults, but at a young age, it is already very rare to have a good performance.

……

filmed two scenes in a row, and the playback effect was very good, at least Yi Feiyang himself was very satisfied.

However, it is not easy to shoot the scene where Los Angeles citizens escape one after another, mainly because there are too many people and the scene is difficult to control. It's not like there are only a few actors, you can give everyone a story, tell them how to speak, how to move, and how to perform.

Now, thousands of people are crowded in front of you, do you tell him one by one how to do it? No way!

Therefore, Yi Feiyang had to pray for everyone's cooperation and understanding, and whether he was lucky.

After resting for a few minutes, Yi Feiyang raised his hand again: "Action!"

"Extras, all in place!" Yi Feiyang shouted loudly, and at the same time, thousands of extras began to walk on the Golden Gate Bridge.

"A little faster, and a little more affectionate!" Seeing that the fat man Jack was directing the extras over there, Yi Feiyang continued to shout.

"Stop, stop, stop!" didn't wait a few seconds, Yi Feiyang suddenly shouted to stop!

Suddenly, everyone, including Angelina Jolie, stopped and looked towards Yi Feiyang.

"Don't be so fake, okay? Think about it, if an earthquake or a tsunami comes, how would you behave? That impatience, that despair! Not to mention how good you are, at least you can't walk like you did, right? Yi Feiyang waved his hand and said loudly into the loudspeaker: "Also, walk naturally, don't all face one direction, try to be messy within a certain range!" Do you understand messy? It's the feeling of encountering a good thing and rushing to the top. ”

"Okay, go on!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand again: "Camera, delete the previous paragraph and start again!" ”

Do it all over again.

This time, the extras had a noticeable turnaround, at least they looked messy, they had that flustered feeling.

"Stop!" After a while, Yi Feiyang shouted to stop again.

Although these extras have changed, and they are much better than just now, they still can't achieve the kind of result that Yi Feiyang expected in his heart, and he has been pursuing perfection and asked everyone to stop again.

This time, Yi Feiyang no longer shouted with a loudspeaker, but called Fat Jack, Angelina Jolie, and Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman and other actors together, and then prepared to give lessons to these extras and intuitively perform that atmosphere. That feeling.

"Next. Look closely. What kind of feeling is it, danger is coming, disaster is coming, care for home, confusion about the future, desire for life, helplessness for disaster! That pessimism, that despair. That kind of impatience, pay attention to the expressions and movements on the faces of Julie and Depp and others. Yi Feiyang shouted loudly, "If you still don't understand, then look at Mr. Freeman, see how his expressions, movements, and silent body language are expressed!" ”

It didn't take long for several people to perform the kind of effect they should have, and many extras intuitively felt the emotions and actions that needed to be shown, and couldn't help nodding.

"At the end of the day. It's the tsunami coming, the earthquake coming. How did you escape? That's what it feels like, got it? ”

"Got it!"

"Can you perform?"

"Yes!"

"Very well, then again, the cameras are all in place, Action."

This time, hundreds of extras finally showed that feeling, and Angelina Jolie's performances were even more perfect, Yi Feiyang nodded with satisfaction, and it was not until the camera stretched to the bridge and the sea that Yi Feiyang shouted to stop.

"Very good, well behaved, even if this scene is over, this is the end of tonight, and it will continue tomorrow night! Thank you! Yi Feiyang said with a smile, at this moment, he no longer had the seriousness and harshness he had before when he was directing the shooting, but he seemed to be a person who was easy to get close to.

"Dear Yi, can I take a picture with you?"

"Yi, you are more handsome than on TV!"

"Hey, can I be your girlfriend?"

……

In the face of such a fan, Yi Feiyang replied with a smile, "It's okay to take a group photo, but let me take a breath first!" "Am I more handsome than I am on TV?" Looks like I'm more of an actor than a director! ”

"Be my girlfriend? Hehe, there are a lot of people who will be jealous then! ”

……

Seeing that those extras were getting more and more around, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to say loudly: "Okay, thank you for your support and love, but everyone is very tired today, I promise you that after you finish filming this part of the scene, I will take a group photo with all of you, I promise, do what you say!" ”

With Yi Feiyang's promise, those people dispersed a little unwillingly, after all, it is a rare opportunity to be able to get close to idols, and everyone wants to see Yi Feiyang a few more times.

……

"I'm so tired, I can finally rest!" Angelina Jolie leaned against the car and gasped.

"Oh, here you go!" Suddenly, Yi Feiyang handed her a bottle of Coke.

"Thank you!" Julie said.

"It should be said that it is me who is thankful for thanks." Yi Feiyang smiled, "You acted very well, and you helped me a lot." ”

"It should be that you are a good director."

"Hehe, okay, let's stop complimenting each other." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.

Julie leaned on the car and drank the bottle of Coke in one go, a cool feeling welled up from her heart, and she couldn't help but stretch her arms comfortably. Zhu Li let out a cool breath, and the jade hand slapped twice on her chest, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly unbuttoned a button under her neck......

The snow-white skin and the black corset were exposed at once, and the bulging plump twin peaks on the chest trembled and rose and fell with Julie's breathing, and every time she moved, the black and white place seemed to exude a charming demeanor, which made people more and more fascinated.

Yi Feiyang, who was in a high place, trembled in his heart, hurriedly took his eyes away from the two snow-white places, and said, "Zhu Li, your role next is the heaviest, and you are basically acting alone...... Oh no, and the little dog Lassi who accompanies you, to be exact. So, I hope you'll be prepared. ”

"I understand this, I also read the script, and the more I read it, the more confused I became, because I had never tried to act in a one-man show, yes, I used to act with people, and then there was a chemical reaction, this time...... With no partner, I'm afraid I'll not be able to play well. Julie finally couldn't help but say what she was most worried about.

Yi Feiyang certainly understood what she meant.

Generally speaking, when actors and actors play against each other, they can use each other's reactions to respond accordingly. For example, if the other party slaps you in the mouth, you immediately start crying, or choking, and your expression is either angry or aggrieved, etc. But when you're alone, and no one slaps you, but you have to show that feeling of anger, grievance, choking, and sobbing, it's going to be very difficult.

"Well, I know what you're saying." After listening carefully to Zhu Li's words, Yi Feiyang nodded, "The best solution to this situation is to act with your eyes, you have to integrate yourself into the role, use your own observation, adapt to the surrounding environment, and create a chemical reaction by yourself......"

"Observe your surroundings and build your own?" Julie didn't understand.

"Yes!" Yi Feiyang pinched his chin and smiled, his face was hit by the sudden falling raindrops, and he felt very cool, he continued to say seriously: "This is a very subtle feeling, there is no way to explain it clearly with dialogue, but thank you to the Creator for giving us eyes, so please use it, you're welcome, it's still the same sentence, speak with your eyes!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Li finally understood something, nodded, and became serious, her face full of contemplation, brewing to find the feeling he said.

Eyes have always had magic, and for an actor, the eyes are a very important flashpoint of acting, but the eyes are actually related to the demeanor of the whole face, and the two cannot draw a clear line, otherwise there is no eye if you only look at one eyeball. Yi Feiyang wants to be able to speak with his eyes well, the most important thing is whether he can capture the mentality of that character at that time, become that person, and then burst out his emotions.
