Chapter 86 Test Shooting

The single-family apartment, which has filmed two "Saw Horrors" in succession, is also one of the most famous murder houses in North America, and has already set up shooting scenes, lighting, props, etc.

In fact, apart from the location of the lights and cameras, the whole apartment has not changed much, and it still retains its original appearance.

Ryan sat behind ARRI35MM camera and felt slightly different from the Panasonic 35mm camera, which could be felt from the inside of the lens, and it was noticeably clearer.

At the same time, little Scarlett Johansson was holding a finely made wooden box in her arms, barely having any cracks, and kept walking around.

Occasionally, her eyes would look up to the second floor, revealing a hint of curiosity, apparently remembering the murder scene.

The box she was holding in her arms was naturally the Dead Soul Box in the film, but it was not a real box, but was made of a whole piece of wood, and it looked like a box on the outside, but in fact it couldn't be opened at all.

Of course, there is also an identical box that can be opened.

Natalie Portman, by contrast, is much more serious, holding a script in her hands and sitting quietly in a corner chair, muttering words in her mouth.

Kevin Bakken and Julia Louis Dreyvers, two people, are talking to each other and talking for a while from time to time.

Obviously, the crew has not officially filmed yet, it is just a test shooting before filming.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Ryan began to let people clear the scene, leaving only Scarlett Johansson Jr. as an actor and starting test shooting.

There is naturally a reason why Scarlett Johansson Jr. was left alone, Kevin Bakken and Julia Louis Dreyvers, both of whom are veteran actors, don't worry.

Only Scarlett Johansson Jr., not only is she very young, but she also doesn't have a lot of shooting experience, and the most important thing is that she plays the youngest daughter Aim, who is the most critical character in the film, and all the plots must revolve around her.

The next moment, little Scarlett Johansson quickly got into the mood, wearing a very wide pajamas, slowly walked to the bathroom mirror, stared blankly at her hands, suddenly retched, and then took out a flashlight and shone it down her throat.

"OK!" Ryan waved his hand to show that Scarlett Johansson Jr. could stop, and turned off the camera.

'It's been very good and keep it up. Ryan gave her an affirmative look.

He's not encouraging Scarlett Johansson Jr., he's just telling the truth.

Although it is not clear how the actor who played the youngest daughter Amin in his previous life performed on the shooting scene, the performance of Scarlett Johansson Jr. just now is very in line with the role itself.

Of course, this is not to say that this test shoot is flawless, Ryan quickly pointed out a problem, saying: "The style of the pajamas is too old, change to the latest style." ”

"Remember, don't make the fabric too transparent. ”

The actor who played the youngest daughter Ame in his previous life wore a pair of pajamas, which were also not very good, but they were still a little transparent.

Let a little girl who is less than ten years old, wearing a somewhat transparent pajamas, I really don't know what the director of the film thinks.

He didn't want to be targeted by child protection groups anyway.

Ryan then pointed out some areas for improvement.

"How's the ILM connection?"

There are not many shots in the film that require special effects, and there are no big scenes.

But there are still some special effects shots, such as fingers sticking out of the throat, moths, and so on.

"I think the price of industrial light and magic is too expensive, it is better to choose the digital field, their technology in special effects is not much worse than industrial light and magic, and the price can be lower. "Rei Sancheni made her own proposal.

In the digital field, the previous life was also a well-known special effects company in Hollywood, founded in 1993 with two founders.

One of them is James Cameron, one of Hollywood's famous directors, and the other is Stan Winwinston, who is also a Hollywood celebrity.

In less than a year since its establishment, the digital field has taken over successively, "Apollo 13", "Vampire Chronicles", "Night", "True Lies", etc., the special effects shots in the film fully demonstrate the existence of Hollywood second only to Industrial Light and Magic.

Ryan raised his eyebrows and refused without hesitation, saying, "The digital field is only a new company, in contrast, I believe in the strength of Industrial Light and Magic, even if the cost is a little more expensive." ”

Seeing this, Rei Sancheni didn't continue to speak out against it in the end, and she knew very well why Ryan would choose Industrial Light & Magic over the cheap digital field.

Industrial Light & Magic is a special effects company owned by Lucasfilm, and the owner of Lucasfilm is none other than George Lucas.

Ryan's first film, "Blair the Witch," was proposed by George Lucas to Twentieth Century Fox.

And that's not even counting the relationship between Helen and Sophia and George Lucas.

Ryan looked at the time so that everyone could leave, including several actors, to take a break.

Several actors, as well as some of the crew, began to pack up and leave, and Ryan was ready to leave.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he encountered a scene of crying and laughing.

"Scarlett!" Natalie Portman glared fiercely, looked at the innocent little Scarlett Johansson, and gritted her teeth and said, "Did you already know that there was a homicide on the second floor!"

Just now, little Scarlett Johansson asked her to stay alone on the second floor for a while, until a crew member came up to remind her, and she didn't know that this was a murder house, and the location of the murder was the room where she was.

"Nope. ”

Scarlett Johansson Jr. denied it and said, "You said it yourself, and you want to find a quiet place to memorize your lines." ”

"Then you'll let me go to the room on the second floor alone!" said Natalie Portman, as if completely enraged, "I must tell Helen to get you a governess." ”

"You dare!" Scarlett Johansson Jr., like a fried lion, stretched out her hand and pointed at Natalie Portman, and said in a threatening tone, "Then I'll tell Helen that someone not only secretly drank heavily, but also hid and smoked for a long time." ”

"In that case, Helen will definitely send you back to New York. ”

"No, it's better to send you to Israel, so you never have to come back. ”

Natalie Portman was half angry with her, pointing at little Scarlett Johansson for a long time without saying a word, "Actually spying on me!"

"It's despicable. ”

Scarlett Johansson Jr. said a little proudly: "You yourself were too careless, you can't blame me." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ryan was speechless for a while, and none of them could be relieved.

One deceived people to go to the murder scene on the second floor and peeped into privacy, and the other not only secretly drank, but also hid and smoked, not to mention half a catty and eight taels, it was about the same.

"I will relay your conversation to Helen word for word. Ryan walked out with a blank face.

The sudden sound scared the two of them half to death, and when it became clear that it was Ryan who walked out, his face turned pale, and he could imagine how Helen would react when she knew about it!
