Cape Girardo, Missouri.

The city, originally located along the Mississippi River, suddenly became lively because of the arrival of the "Gone Girl" crew.

It is common to watch the excitement of people, not to mention that three top Hollywood names came this time.

From the first day the crew arrived in Cape Girardo, reporters from local newspapers and TV stations turned on 24-hour tracking mode, and several theaters also knew how to take advantage of the popularity, launching a special film of Martin Davis, David Fincher and Charlize Theron.

Attendance is also quite good.

As for those who are purely onlookers and eat melons, there are even more.

In the studio near the river, the crew has already kicked off the official shooting.

Martin got out of the trailer in a modest suit and entered the studio.

David Fincher glanced at him and admonished: "Now you are not a scumbag, but a writer who can rely on a certain income for your columns, showing the side of the cultural elite." ”

"I'm good at that," Martin said. ”

David Fincher has worked with Martin on a film, and he is quite reassured.

Charlize Theron also entered the set at this time, with a striped line shirt and straight-leg jeans, plus soft blonde hair, the whole person looked delicate and beautiful.

David Fincher looked at it for a moment and said to the stylist, "Sally's facial lines are softer. ”

He also said to Charlize himself: "Completely put away the exposed edge, you are now a cool girl, a woman whose appearance and temperament can impress men the most." ”

Charlize Theron nodded, sat down in a chair, and asked the stylist to adjust the face shadow slightly until David Fincher was satisfied.

A few minutes later, the extras who had been waiting entered the venue to serve as a backdrop for the acquaintance of the hero and heroine.

It's a gathering of New York's creative community, and Nick Dunn, from a small town in Missouri, meets Amy, New York's Wonder Girl.

Martin got into the groove quickly, but the filming didn't go well, and David Fincher called for a halt again and again, constantly adjusting Charlize Theron's performance status.

The first scene was filmed more than a dozen times before David Fincher shouted through.

Out of the role, Charlize first said to Martin: "I'm sorry to cause you to follow me over and over again to reshoot, I'm too slow." ”

"It doesn't matter, there's a process," Martin said. ”

Charlize then apologized to the other actors and crew on the set, appearing to be very human.

She has always had a good reputation in the circle, and she belongs to a female star with relatively few negative news.

The filming on the first day was basically based on the indoor rivalry between Martin and Charlize.

After a few scenes were filmed, Charlize gradually found his senses, and the number of NGs became significantly less.

After all, many years ago, she basically played this kind of female role that relied on beauty to win.

David Fincher is also not as casual as he was when he filmed "Benjamin", and he wants the film to catch up with today's holiday schedule to compete for the next Oscars, and he must ensure the efficiency of the crew.

The team of cinematographers, art directors and directors who have worked with David Fincher for a long time are somewhat unaccustomed to such a tight rhythm, and David Fincher's roars and urgings are heard from time to time on the set.

Assistant director Paul asked Fincher's assistant Molly, "When did David become James Cameron?" His loud voice scared the Asian carp in the Mississippi River to death. ”

Molly reminded: "This Oscar loss, David is not in a very good mood, and he puts a lot of pressure on himself, so you usually pay more attention to it, and it is better to keep up with his shooting rhythm." ”

Paul nodded: "I can see that once a person who is gentle on a daily basis gets angry, it will be even more terrifying." ”

Everyone on the set got serious, and the work efficiency of the crew was significantly enhanced.

At lunchtime, Charlize sat down at a table with Martin and asked, "Don't they all say that David is a rational person on the set and has a relatively mild work style?" Was he the same when you worked with him on Benjamin? ”

Martin swallowed the food in his mouth and replied: "No, the overall atmosphere of the crew was relaxed during the filming of "Benjamin", and now David wants to improve the efficiency of the crew, so he tightened the winding on the first day, and it is estimated that he wants to cheer up the whole crew at the beginning of filming in this way." “

Charlize ate the food carefully, nodded and said, "It makes sense, I really need to speed up the pace, I will leave the crew in May at the latest." ”

Martin looked at her crew's work schedule and deliberately asked, "What, don't you want to spend more time with me on the crew?" “

Charlize smiled: "Will you lack women?" Super dude. ”

Having said that, she still explained: "I'm going to South Africa, I'm the South African World Cup bid ambassador and image ambassador, it's the South African World Cup in June, and there's a lot of publicity work to do before the opening." “

Martin understood: "The World Cup of English football, the hottest sporting event in the world. ”

Charlize invited, "Interested?" If you want to go, the organizing committee will definitely send you a special invitation, and then you can take Elizabeth with you to watch the opening ceremony and the final. ”

"I'm interested in football." Martin thought for a moment and said, "I guess the itinerary is not suitable, it happens to be in the promotion and release period of "Inception". ”

Charlize said: "I'll ask the organizing committee to send you an invitation letter first, you don't have time to talk about it when you arrive." ”

The two were chatting when David Fincher and producer Dana Buunneti came over and turned to the film's budget and tax refunds.

The crew came to Missouri to film, firstly, most of the plot takes place in a small town in Missouri, and Missouri has also launched a tax refund policy.

Dana has specifically calculated that as long as the crew uses 25% of local employees in the filming, it can get a tax rebate and save 15% of the shooting cost.

There is also an advantage over Atlanta in terms of tax refund.

In order to compete for Hollywood crews, states across the United States have become more and more involved in recent years, and the film has a great pull effect on the tourism and service industry after its release.

However, Missouri was just starting out, with only a few small studios, not quite as large as Atlanta's growing production base.

After a while, the author, Gillian Flynn, also came here and talked about sales and publicity.

Since its release last year, when Martin and David Fincher jointly announced a film adaptation, "Gone Girl" has entered the New York Times bestseller list and has now squeezed into the top three.

With the filming of the film and the associated promotional activities going on, it is not a luxury to make it to the top of the bestseller list.

Gillian Flynn has also gone from being an entertainment magazine reporter to a true best-selling author.

's best-selling has also brought the most basic audience to the movie.

After a short lunch and a short break, the group returned to the set and continued filming.

In the afternoon, the focus was on the love scene between the male and female protagonists.

The rise of the Internet and social media has killed too many paper media writers, and the hard-working Nick is one of them, and at this time he met Amy, a rich lady, who also showed the cool girl temperament that men like, and of course he wanted to go up.

A young man in a small town, working hard, marrying a rich woman, and realizing the value of life.

Martin is very good at acting because it is similar to his experience of Tai Chi.

When he started in Atlanta, Martin once had the luxury of overseeing Kelly Gray and has been lying flat ever since.

During this period, he planned heroes to save the United States, engaged in hatred and hatred, and "designed" a pink kettle, in order to impress Kelly.

Strictly speaking, Martin's behavior is no different from Nick's.

The biggest difference between the two is that even if Martin succeeds, he is still active enough, and when he finds that he can't lie flat, he immediately takes out 120,000 points of spirit and borrows the stairs built by Kelly to climb up desperately.

Instead of shrinking in a turtle shell, he will be a decadent man from now on.

The last scene of the afternoon.

In the studio set up as a loading and unloading site, with David Fincher's order, the dust machine kicked up some frosting, creating a sweet storm.

Charlize, wrapped in a coat and wearing black boots, walked into the set with Martin in his arms, and the sky was full of sweetness.

Charlize let go of Martin as if dancing a ballet, spinning and spreading his arms as he danced in the frosting storm.

The sunny and handsome male protagonist followed from behind.

Whether in the camera or in the eyes of the cast and crew on the set, these two are like a match made in heaven.

The frosting flew in the air, shimmering in the air and falling like snowflakes on Charlize's lips.

Martin walked up, hugged Charlize, and gently brushed her red lips: "You are sweet from head to toe, how can I resist not kissing you?" ”

Charlize leaned against the wall and closed his eyes slightly.

Martin kissed it, as he used to do at Charlle's house.

The hero and heroine determine the relationship.

In Martin's eyes, this is also one of the scenes that most reflects the theme of the movie.

In the words he discussed with Charlize in private: "Framing with dogs, forever!" ”

The sweet kiss didn't last.

"Stop! This is over! David Fincher shouted from behind the director's monitor, "Martin, Sally, you're doing a great job, that's it for today, call it a day!" ”

Martin let go of Charlize's red lips but didn't leave, one hand still holding on to the wall.

Charlize's eyes were full of fire, and he said, "I've been sweet from head to toe, how can you still bear not to take me away?" “

Martin looked at the spilled frosting, reached out and took a little, touching Charlize's red lips: "I want you to be a little sweeter." ”

Charlize tilted her head and let more frosting fall on her face.

After half a minute, Martin pulled Charlize up and left.

No one on the set was surprised, and it seemed to be commonplace in Hollywood crews.

Martin got out of the studio, pulled Charlize and ran up, and said, "Let's find a place where no one is around?" ”

"Are you crazy?" Charlize licked his sweet lips and said deliberately: "I'm single now, it doesn't matter if I'm photographed, are you sure?" ”

Instead of answering, Martin pulled open the tow door and dragged Charlize on.

The next moment, what I smell and taste between my mouth and nose is all sweet and greasy.

The trailer shook and the real frosting storm began.
