I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 138
[Chapter 135 D prefix]
Eric returned to his seat, and two minutes later, filming began again.
This opponent scene lasted for more than three minutes. Of course, it was impossible to finish the filming in one go. Eric divided the three-minute scene into seven sub-shots with an average of less than 30 seconds. Strive for perfection, so the number of NGs is far more than other shots taken these days.
Cruise and Hanks also gradually seemed to realize something, and their performance requirements became more and more strict. In the end, it was obvious that they were competing. Sometimes when Eric felt that the effect was good, Crew Or Hanks will take the initiative to pick out the flaws in their performance just now, and then ask for a reshoot.
Eric is quite happy with this situation. The two superstars don’t know when they will cooperate next time, and maybe they will never have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.
Therefore, Eric also wanted to leave a perfect opposite scene in this movie.
“Ka…”
After NG again, Eric looked at his watch. From the last scene to the present, only five of the seven sub-shots in three minutes have been completed in more than an hour, and the last two most important safety Dee lobbied for a minute without filming.
But it was time to get off work. Looking at Cruise and Hanks, who were still sparkling, and Joe Pesci, who had been waiting for nearly an hour to play the chief inspector of the major crime team, Eric reminded: “It’s time to get off work. Now
, you two.”
Eric said, looking at Cruise and Hanks expectantly. As an oriental, he has no dislike for overtime, and even takes it for granted, and he also wants to work harder. This scene of the one-hour class was all filmed, so I hope the two of them will take the initiative to complete this scene in extra time.
But Eric found that he had seriously underestimated the paranoia of Europeans and Americans for the eight-hour work system. Hearing Eric say this, Cruise and Hanks, who were still eager to try it out, both directly played, stood up and shook hands with a smile. He glanced at his hand, and there was an emotion in his expression that he was facing an opponent. Then he said hello to Eric, and started to pack his things and plan to leave. From the beginning to the end, he had no plans to work overtime at all.
Eric complained in his heart, and could only shrug helplessly, announcing that the crew had stopped working.
After that, Eric took time out to walk to Joe Pesci’s side: “Sorry, Joe, I made you wait for an hour in vain.”
Joe Pesci shook his head without mind, and said in his unique voice: “This is It’s nothing, Eric, I just watched a good performance for an entire hour next to me, and now I’m a little worried that my performance will not be satisfactory.”
“You don’t have to worry about this at all, I think it should be worried. It’s Hanks, I think he may be robbed by your character at any time, and your character’s lines and action design are so hilarious.”
“That’s true, but I haven’t been in a comedy before. , you know, the ‘Raging Bull’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in America’ and the most recent ‘The Angry Rescue’ that I’ve been in are not comedies.”
“Joe, I think you’re more suitable for comedies, maybe After this movie, you will discover your talent for comedy. To be honest, you know “Home Alone”. When I was shooting this movie, I thought that the most suitable actor to play the older stupid thief Harry is You.”
Joe Pesci’s eyes widened slightly, he felt that Eric didn’t lie to him about this detail at all, it was “Home Alone”, and “Home Alone”, which is about to break through $300 million at the box office.
“Then,
then why…” Joe Pesci made a meaningless gesture, of course he understood what it meant to miss “Home Alone”.
Eric understood the meaning of the other party, and helplessly explained: “Because I couldn’t afford you at the time, the budget for “Home Alone” was too small.”
“Perhaps…you can try to invite me first.”
” You know it’s impossible, and if I wanted you to offer $20,000 to the actor who plays Harry in the movie now, you wouldn’t even think about it.”
Joe Pesci understands that this is indeed the case. Although he is not a very famous actor, he has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor after all. Unless he can predict, he will definitely not accept the $20,000 salary. After shaking his head, Joe Pesci said, “This… it’s really a pity.”
“Okay, let’s not talk about this, don’t we have a chance to cooperate now?”
“This is really… Ari K, you’re bringing this up just to make me sleepy tonight. I missed such a great opportunity.”
“Everyone actually misses thousands of opportunities in their lifetime, so it’s not It’s nothing, go back to wash your face, brush your teeth and take a bath, it’s really not good to drink two sips of wine, and forget it after a sleep.” Eric patted Qiao Peixi on the shoulder and comforted.
“How can I forget,” Joe Pesci rolled his eyes at Eric, then shook his head: “Forget it, I’ll go back first, this is really…”
Seeing Joe Pesci leave with a look of loss , Eric began to regret telling the other party the news. He originally just wanted to use this little thing to get close to Joe Pesci.
I hope Joe Pesci won’t turn into Mrs. Xianglin in the next period of time, repeating ‘I actually missed Home Alone’ or something.
After arranging everything, Eric really planned to leave, but he saw Martin Brest, the director of “Scent of a Woman” at the entrance of the studio. The assistant behind the other party was holding a thick stack of document bags.
Eric knew what was inside at a glance. After greeting, Eric asked, “Martin, didn’t you say that the list of candidates can be determined the day after tomorrow? Why so fast?”
“Sorry, Eric, the original The plan is indeed the day after tomorrow, but due to various reasons, the screening was completed two days in advance, and Al also wants to start the machine as soon as possible, so I can only wait for you here.”
“Why didn’t Al come?” Eric asked curiously. asked.
Martin explained: “Al has already begun to figure out the role. He is adapting to the living habits of the blind these days, and he specially told me not to disturb him.”
Eric nodded to show his understanding. After thinking about it, he pointed to a Passat parked not far from Martin: “Is that your car?”
Martin nodded.
“Then let’s talk in the car, I just happen to be going to Malibu, is it convenient to take me there?”
“Of course there is no problem.”
Several people got into the car, Eric said the address, and Martin’s assistant started the car.
In the back seat, Eric first opened the shortlist for one of the most important protagonists, middle school student Charlie Simmons.
Martin explained next to him: “Eric, these are excellent young people who have passed two rounds of auditions. Because there are many middle school students, there are a total of 30 candidates, and you have selected Charlie Simon. After playing the role of St., we can directly select a series of Charlie’s classmates from the remaining list.”
“Well,” Eric took the thick stack of documents out of the file bag, and asked casually: “By the way, that me How about introducing Miss Gabriel Anwar in the past?”
Martin felt that the petite girl might have something to do with Eric, so he explained in great detail: “After her role was confirmed, the girl returned to her a few days ago. I’ve been to England, but I’ll be back soon. I’m currently staying in a hotel on Wilshere Avenue. By the way, she visited you when you accidentally passed out that day. Eric, do you need the address of her hotel? ”
No need,” Eric just asked casually, scanning the list. Thirty candidates were listed in alphabetical order by the actor’s surname, so Eric saw two directly on the D prefix. The names of Hollywood superstars side by side.
