I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 137
[Chapter 134 The Opponent Play]
“Hi, Tom,” Eric greeted Hanks enthusiastically as soon as Hanks appeared in the studio, preferring the mild-tempered Hanks to Cruise, who has always been polite to each other .
“Hi, Eric, am I late?” Hanks stepped forward to hug Eric and asked.
“Of course not,” Eric nodded to Hanks’ assistant, then turned to Hanks: “It will take about fifteen minutes to set up the scene, you can just take the opportunity to make up.” The
two walked side by side to the dressing room, Hanks greeted the crew enthusiastically, looked around, and asked in a low voice curiously, “Where’s Cruise?”
“Maybe I’m going to touch up my makeup,” Eric said lightly, and Hanks nodded. , didn’t say anything. After a few meetings before, Hanks also didn’t have much good impression of the actor with the same name as him. Cruise is too arrogant. Even if he is polite to a person, it will make people Create a feeling of being charitable.
Everyone on the set had already done the makeup process, so it didn’t take long for Hanks to make up.
After the breakfast room scene was set up, photographer Nickel walked up to Eric, who was talking with Hanks and Cruise: “Eric, you’d better come and have a look.”
Eric told the two superstars Saying sorry, got up and followed Nickel to a corner of the restaurant, where a camera was installed.
“Eric, look here, there will be a fast panning shot later, but I can only operate the camera from this position,” Nikkor demonstrated awkwardly once: “Look, it’s a bit difficult to operate this way. It’s big, it’s awkward, and it’s not easy to grasp the strength.”
Although Eric is not as professional as Nikkor, he also knows a lot of shooting skills. The operating position was occupied by the wall behind him.
“Nichol, what do you mean?” Eric let go of the camera, clapped his hands and asked.
“I can only try a few times. The shooting angle of this position is the best. If it really doesn’t work, and you want the best effect…” Nickel pointed behind Eric: “Then we can only use This wall has been demolished.”
“Then try a few times first,” Eric said, he didn’t mind demolishing the wall, anyway, this is a studio, not an outside location, Colombia will definitely cooperate, but at least it will Wasting an hour of time again
“Okay,” Nickel nodded: “Then let’s start.”
There are three scenes in this small restaurant scene. In the first scene, the two of them are completely strangers eating breakfast, of course. , According to the plot, Andy has begun to pay attention to Sean at this time, but Sean is completely unaware of it.
In the second act, there will be a scene where the two rub shoulders. Andy left a tea coaster with a number 13 written on it to Sean. The third act is also the longest scene. Andy spent a minute to convince Sean, Let the police cooperate with him to arrest the villain, the bald monk, to avenge his father.
“Attention everyone, “Dark War” Act 12, Scene 1, action!”
Sean stared at the newspaper in front of him, eating cake, and when he heard the sound of the restaurant door being pushed open, he naturally raised his head and glanced at him very much. Quickly turn your attention to the newspaper.
“Good!” Eric gave Hanks a thumbs up, followed by the scene where Cruise played Andy eating while staring at the TV overhead, which was completely indifferent to Cruise. Difficulty, Eric just gave Cruise a thumbs up.
There are three cartoon scenes in the original scene.
This should be an animation that Andy likes very much. Unfortunately, when there are only four weeks left to live, every time I see the familiar scene, Andy will be disappointed. There is a kind of sadness that time is running out, which is why Andy is dazed every time he sees this scene.
And here, Eric doesn’t plan to find a cartoon at random to make up the numbers. He plans to use the footage from “Friends”.
Although “Friends” only exists in Eric’s plan now, Jeffrey will start preparing for “Friends” after the two films “Cry on the Island” and “Scent of a Woman” are on track. Now It’s only April, and as long as the six protagonists can be identified, Eric has plenty of time to shoot a few classic scenes from “Friends” to add to the film.
The new film will feature a TV series directed by Eric Williams himself, which is a good stunt for film promotion, and at the same time promotes “Friends”, which is another win-win.
After the two shots were completed, the most difficult tossing shot soon began.
After the slate was laid, Eric stared at the monitor closely. Nikkor operated the camera to stay on Hanks’ face for a second, and then began to swing rapidly. Eric clearly felt the difficulty and unevenness of the lens transition.
Although the final shot accurately stayed on Cruise’s side face, Eric could only call card.
Next, Nikkor tried six more times in a row, but all ended in failure. Eric knew the reason for the flaw in this shot, so he patiently let Nikkor try again and again.
But after the eleventh attempt failed, Cruise finally became impatient. He had eaten a lot of cream cakes in a row. He didn’t understand that he felt that such a simple scene had to be tried so many times. When he was in place, Cruise stood up, glanced at Nikkor, whose forehead was covered in sweat, with some contempt, and said to Eric, “Eric, maybe I can introduce you to a better photographer. .”
Cruise didn’t mean to lower his voice at all, and said this sentence in front of everyone, and the scene directly fell into embarrassment.
Because of his awkward posture, Nikkor performed the operation more than ten times in a row, and his waist started to hurt. He didn’t expect that his efforts would get such an evaluation. It was difficult to do anything, and he could only stand there with a helpless expression on his face.
Many people in the crew were dissatisfied with Cruise’s rude words. They have worked with Nickel for many years, and they are very aware of Nickel’s strength.
Although they have just experienced more than ten consecutive failures, everyone has more or less understood the reason through the posture of Nikkor operating the camera, and patiently accompany Nikkor to try again and again.
Facing the gazes of everyone, Eric knew that this matter must be handled carefully, otherwise it would cause conflicts between the crew and the actors, but it was necessary to appease Cruise’s emotions without causing dissatisfaction among the staff. Things are not easy.
After thinking for a while, Eric could only stand up and walk to the camera, patiently explaining to Cruise why this shot could fail so easily.
After listening to Eric’s explanation, Cruise also realized that he had just wronged Nickel, shrugged his shoulders and gave the photographer a faint smile: “I’m so sorry, then, let’s continue.”
After saying that, Cruise said :
He sat back in his seat again.
Eric patted Nikkor on the shoulder soothingly, and said softly: “Try two or three times, if it doesn’t work, I will tear down the wall.”
Nikkor knows that Eric can explain the reason to Cruise himself, which is already very maintenance. So I didn’t mind Cruise’s insincere apology, but nodded gratefully to Eric: “I’ll try my best.”
Although this small disturbance seems to have passed in a calm manner, it also It is destined to leave some traces in the hearts of many people. Anyway, because of Cruise’s series of movies, several crew members who had a great impression of him are no longer eager to show him.
Maybe it was luck, or it could be other reasons, the second time I started to try, this shot finally passed, when Eric shouted ‘Good’, many people couldn’t help applauding, Nick Er also breathed a sigh of relief and shook his aching arm vigorously.
Next, the second scene where the two passed by easily passed, and finally came the first confrontation between Cruise and Hanks.
“Hey, it’s so early, Inspector?” The girl in the restaurant greeted Sean warmly when she saw Sean who pushed the door in.
“Yeah, made an appointment with friends,” Sean replied, walking towards the bar.
Andy stuffed the cake in his mouth, and when he heard Sean’s words, he laughed with a smug expression on his face. In the past few days, Sean, the once-powerful police elite, has been playing around, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Worth being proud of.
Sean came to Andy’s side with a sullen face, and slapped the tea coaster with the number 13 on the bar.
“Sit down,” Andy said, putting down the glass.
Sean took out a photo from his suit pocket: “You’re pretty accurate, Mr. Zhang.”
“I found it?” Andy turned his head.
“You stole the gemstone and avenged your father, why did you ask me out?”
“I said, this game will last for three days.”
Sean tapped the pocket on his chest that he used to hold his ID card: “Now You’re not in charge, I’m the police.”
“Clean up the warehouse, change the lamps…”
Eric stopped after Cruise finished his line.
“That’s it, Cruise, your smile needs to be a little more sarcastic,” Eric walked up to Cruise first, offered his opinion, and at the same time grinned, wanting to do something for Cruise After a demonstration, I found that I didn’t have the talent of Master Xu who can demonstrate everything to the actors, so I could only be disappointed: “Well, pause for two minutes, you can have a good brewing.”
After explaining Cruise, Eric turned again .
Hanks: “Hanks, hearing Andy’s ridicule, you are too embarrassed, although you are embarrassed in your heart, but you also have your own self-esteem, so you need to do some body language while being embarrassed, Like nodding or something to hide his embarrassment.”
“Well, Eric, I’ll think about it,” Hanks nodded.
