Chapter 25: Collision and Intense Action Scenes
The filming location of the new drama is still the same farm, but it has been changed from the plantation to the breeding area.
The title of the film is tentatively called "People from the City".
The story of the script is not secret, not to mention the main actors, even most of the extras know it.
A pair of dog men and women came to the ranch from downtown Atlanta and had a violent collision with several dog men and women on the ranch.
That's right, the collision refers to the body.
The supporting role played by Martin is one of the men and women of the ranch dogs.
The daily salary is $500, and the character shooting is planned for two days.
There are only three actors in the crew who have more roles than Martin, and Martin shares a small dressing room with Kyle, the second supporting actor.
Kyle is in good health, less than twenty-five years old, and has a square face like a stone.
He came a little late, and seeing that Martin was a new face, he knocked the dressing room opposite Martin, and said, "Man, I like to sit by the door, you go inside." ”
The other party was in the same dressing room as him, indicating that the status was about the same, and Martin had no intention of backing down: "First come, first come." ”
Bullying in America is all too common, especially since Kyle is not small.
Kyle stared at Martin's head, "Know what I used to do?" Professional Soccer Player! I can kick a soccer ball with one kick! ”
Martin followed Bruce to learn to be a civilized man in order to deal with similar situations.
He pulled his coat back, revealing the gun pouch inside in a civilized way: "I'm a part-time actor, and I'm a gangster scavenger. ”
Kyle stepped aside, sat down in the dressing chair inside, and said busily, "I like to joke and liven up the atmosphere, you see, now that we've reached a consensus, the atmosphere is good, right?" ”
Bruce's theory of civilized man really worked, and Martin pulled on his coat: "Don't worry, I'm a civilized man." ”
Kyle is scolding in his heart, the crew can't find anyone? Pulling gangsters to film? But there was a bright smile on his face, and sweet words were said on his lips: "You are the boss, just tell me if you have something." ”
The makeup crew came in and prepared to put on makeup for the two, and Martin called Jerome over and asked him to keep the gun for the time being.
Because of Martin's relationship with Andrew, the Marietta troupe was paid a relatively well-paid background role this time, and the news would soon spread among the Atlanta extras, and the troupe would be able to absorb more newcomers, and Jerome would naturally get more dues.
For the sake of money, Jerome doesn't mind being a bag-carrying brother temporarily.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, Martin took the lead in leaving the dressing room and went to the grass drying field, which was the No. 2 filming location, to familiarize himself with the position and prepare for shooting.
Robert, dressed in a worker's suit, was in the pasture at this time.
He will be used as one of Martin's backdrop panels for subsequent shoots.
"How is that possible? It doesn't make sense! Robert circled around Martin: "I inquired, Billy's role can be ranked 7th in the crew, why did the crew choose you." ”
Martin shrugged: "Because I'm good-looking." ”
Robert didn't believe it at all: "No kidding, if you look good and can get a key role, there won't be so many ugly stars." He pointed to his big head: "According to common sense, I have a better chance of becoming a star than you!" ”
Martin wondered: "Why?" ”
"Because I have a big head, a big head!" Robert was serious: "Didn't you find out?" The bigger the head of a man in the entertainment industry, the more promising he is! ”
Martin also said seriously: "My head is bigger than yours, so I have a better future." ”
Robert didn't take his foul language and continued: "If you think about it, Stallone has a big head, Bruce Willis has a big head, Russell Crowe has a big head, and Schwarzenegger has a big head!" ”
Martin couldn't refute it, and simply played his strengths: "My brother's head can blow up the earth!" ”
Robert muttered, "Earth didn't mess with you. ”
Martin patted him on the shoulder: "Man, for your sake, I decided to stay on Earth. ”
"Thank you so much." Robert smiled bitterly.
Martin can see that Robert's mentality is a little unbalanced, but it is rare that he can control himself.
Some of them have been suffering for many years, and when they see their peers get good roles, they will do incredible things.
The assistant director came to the set at this time and instructed Martin and Joanna in advance to rehearse.
As a female-oriented pure love drama, Martin inevitably shows off his handsome face and strong figure.
For Martin, the play is very simple, with almost no lines.
The most common lines are actually Uh-ah and God and the like.
In this scene, he just needs to lie in the soft grass and bask in the sun bare-chested, Joanna hides in the distance and peeps, and after he finds out, he boldly walks over and sits on his lap.
All that's left is to collide.
Director Benjamin Calvin is in his thirties, born at the Savannah School of Art, with a big beard and a very artistic style.
He specifically told Martin and Joanna what to do.
Martin has a work ethic, didn't eat heavy food this morning, and prepared a breath freshener.
Before filming, he asked Joanna, "Is there anything to avoid?" ”
Joanna saw Martin squirting a breath freshener and made a good impression of him, and smiled: "Just come." ”
filmed the literary drama first, and the literary drama Martin was handy, and he entered the state quickly.
On the contrary, the partner Joanna entered the state more slowly, NG a few times.
After the play, go to the trailer next to you to touch up your makeup and change into special protective clothing.
The costumer had a problem, came out of the trailer, and roared: "Where's the men's king-size protective pants?" I need king-size protective pants! ”
A drama agent answered: "Didn't I prepare a tuba? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I want king!" The costumer continued to roar: "You want the actor to show his sniper rifle and shoot down the birds in the sky? Or do we want to make our pure love drama into a sacred valley drama? ”
The drama manager found the oversized protective pants and handed them to the costume master: "Sniper rifle? It's an exaggeration......"
Before the costume master entered the door, he left a sentence: "Actually, I want to say mortars." ”
Soon, Martin came out in flesh-colored skinny shorts.
It led to a wave of admiration.
The various film-related regulations in New York and California do not control the small rural crew in Atlanta, and the crew is all non-performing arts union members, not only does there be no special clause for revealing their bodies, but there is no routine procedure for asking whether the scene is cleared during filming.
The total investment is only about 100,000 US dollars, and the crew with a shooting period of less than ten days has no time or energy to be verbose.
The action scene is ready to go straight to work.
Martin is handy in literary dramas, but there are mistakes in the filming of action scenes.
In contrast, Joanna, who is spanning the literary drama, is very good at action scenes.
As soon as the action scene began, Martin's hand was holding the headlights of the car when the director shouted to stop.
There was something wrong with Martin's expression.
mainly has no relevant shooting experience, and in his previous life, he acted from a role to a supporting role for so many years, and it was the first time to repair the lights in front of the camera.
On the other hand, the feel is not right, and the lights are overhauled in the later stage, and they are hard.
After a few NG in a row, Martin is also adjusting his state.
Director Benjamin roared: "Don't tell me, you're a goddamn virgin!" ”
"Don't be nervous, take it easy." Joanna's eyes were a little more strange, and her tone was extremely soft: "Think of me as your girlfriend and put me in." ”
Martin wouldn't be looking for a girlfriend from someone with a big headlight overhaul, but Joanna's words reminded him.
He did a good job of psychological construction, the set was Carter's house, and the onlookers were all idiot Lily.
In the next shooting, his state gradually improved, and even some action scenes were very cool.
At the end of this scene, Benjamin couldn't help but praise: "Martin Davis, this time is great, you are suitable for this line of food!" ”
Martin is a person who gives a little sunshine, and when he sees the director's attitude towards him improve, he immediately goes over to joke about the relationship: "Director, I'm an acting genius?" Or is it a genius in filming action scenes? ”
Benjamin laughed: "Go aside, don't wear flesh-colored shorts in front of me and shake a sniper rifle, I'm not a." He patted Martin on the knife-like shoulder: "I have classmates in the Holy Valley, you want to go and I will introduce you." ”
Martin said: "I'm afraid that the little biao in the Sacred Valley will never dare to film again!" ”
