The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2223

[Two thousand one hundred and eighty-six]

“Wow, standing in front of you makes me feel like I’m not an actor at all,” said John Reilly, frustrated.

Ben Whishaw, who was standing next to him, also nodded, “I almost feel like I’ve never acted before. Maybe, I should change my career.”

Even Rachel Weisz, who came to watch, joined in the fun. , “Director, can I quit the group now? I don’t think I’m suitable for this movie.”

Renly, who became the target of the collective siege, looked at his colleagues speechlessly, but he did not argue, but Turning to look at Ogus, “Director, I think my salary can be doubled, I don’t know, three times? Five times? My workload now seems to have exceeded the contract. Or, we can Shooting a one-man show, the whole process is David’s monologue, an experimental film, I think I can.”

Looking at Renly’s appearance, all the staff around couldn’t help but smile, especially John, Whishaw, etc. The jaw-dropping expression made it even more joyful, but because the atmosphere was not right, the laughter was always stuffed in his chest and could not burst out.

In the end, Renly Lyle must be the final touch.

Renly cast his gaze at Oggs, who was at a loss, and the choked appearance couldn’t say a word. He seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and his chubby cheeks began to swell slightly. A sentence came, “What should I do, I think we set Oggs on fire, and he is about to explode.”

Boom!

The whole studio burst into laughter, and the laughter could not be stopped at all.

However, Oggs was not a director who was messing around with the audience. His eyes were full of helplessness and he looked at Renly. He didn’t joke with everyone, but he didn’t stop everyone. Then he finally started to breathe again, and looked at Lanly with his eyes. Li expressed “strong condemnation”.

Renly could sense that Oggs wasn’t really angry, but he did mind that the shooting schedule was delayed, so he turned his head to look at John and muttered a few words in John’s ear.

Ogus was completely at a loss.

Then you can see John standing up and walking towards Oggs, “Let’s do the scene just now, let’s do it again, do you have any comments?”

Oggs hadn’t reacted at first, could it be?

Was Renly and John talking about this just now?

Then why can’t Renly come by himself?

Immediately afterwards, a flash of inspiration made Oggs understand, and Renly made it clear that this was intentional: on the one hand, he emphasized the filming,

because he knew that it would calm Oggs and focus on filming again. On the other hand, it implies that Oggs still has a prejudice against Renly, so he asked Oggs’ darling John to comfort him and relieve Oggs’ “grievance”.

This… This is obviously making fun of Oggs.

Ogus looked at Renly speechlessly, trying to fight back, but seeing Renly’s innocent face, he seemed to be in the state of David’s performance again, he couldn’t be serious, and in the end he couldn’t hold back. , laughed resignedly – Renly this guy always knows how to take control, doesn’t he?

Turning his head to look at John, “Then let’s retake it again. The performance just now was very good. You can do it again according to your own understanding. I have no opinion.” After all, he still couldn’t hold back, “Why didn’t Renly come and let you come?”

John blinked, “Then why don’t you go and ask Renly yourself, but ask me?”

Ogus, “… …” Then he let out a long sigh and said loudly, “I’m going to reshoot this scene just now!”

John turned and walked towards Renly, with a playful smile on his face, shaking his head again and again, as if two High school students who team up to do bad things are normal.

…

The filming of the “Lobster” crew went very smoothly, and the working atmosphere of the entire crew was very relaxed.

For Renly, acting in comedy is a real treat, exploring different ways of performing and exploring different forms of performance.

Later, Renly went to town several times, all to see Buster-Keaton’s work.

Sometimes alone, sometimes in groups, because of Renly’s performance, many of the cast members are interested in Buster Keaton, hoping that they can also be inspired.

Oggs was overjoyed.

Buster-Keaton’s performance did give “The Lobster” more possibilities for the dark humorous work, but the specific situation is still different because of the different actors. Obviously, Renly is still one of the best, and his performance is delicate and tactile. The best ones tend to capture more chemical reactions.

In addition to John and Whishaw, Renly and Olivia spend a lot of time together. They are not considered friends, because every discussion seems to be very… Formal, discussing comedy performance, discussing stage style, discussing character texture , and so on, and they will sneer at each other because of their disagreements. The tense atmosphere has repeatedly caused bystanders to sweat, but the two are very focused and devoted. After the quarrel, it seems that nothing has happened.

When it comes to friends, they don’t seem to be at all; when they say they are not friends, they always sit and discuss together, over and over again, tirelessly.

This is also a unique partnership.

Because of the harmony of the entire crew, and because of Oggs’ accurate positioning of the actors and styles, the filming progress of the crew was very smooth, even beyond imagination. In less than three weeks, the shooting of the hotel part and the forest part were all over. The shooting also went smoothly into the shooting.

For other crews, adjusting the light is undoubtedly the most troublesome and difficult part of outdoor shooting. This was the case when filming “Interstellar”. A scene was shot for two hours, but adjusting the light may take four hours or even Six hours, a whole day’s work was spent waiting; but such a problem did not exist for the “Lobster” crew.

When Oggs chose Ireland and the small town of Sneem as the shooting base, the main reason was that he hoped to use natural light to complete the shooting, making full use of the gloomy and dim environment here to create the icy texture needed for the film.

For Oggs, natural light is the most perfect light. It does not need to be adjusted or perfected. Every day when you arrive at the shooting site, you can adjust the corresponding shooting plan in the face of any natural situation. Wind and rain can’t stop the crew from shooting. Work, you don’t even need to spend time to complete the work of metering and dimming, you can just roll up your sleeves and go into battle.

Of course, the light changes in Ireland are relatively stable throughout the year, which also ensures that Oggs can face a relatively balanced shooting environment, and the light and weather can be kept in a stable state, which also saves countless time for shooting. ——Otherwise, if it is sunny today and stormy tomorrow, then the filmed scenes will not be able to complete even the scenes, which is also impossible.

Entering the forest from the hotel, the filming progress of the “Lobster” crew did not feel any significant change. What really caused the filming progress to fluctuate slightly was still the script.

Although Oggs works overtime every night, there are still many flaws in the script of the forest part. In every day’s shooting, Oggs and the actors need to make fine adjustments to the lines, and they are basically in a state of thinking while shooting. This is also doomed that the shooting progress cannot be smooth, so the speed will inevitably be affected.

However, the entire crew was fully engaged in filming, but they did not feel the state of “speed blocking”. The completely focused work state made those stumbling and stumbling become trivial, because the entire creative process was kept in a smooth state. The storm and the collision of ideas ensured that the filming was always maintained with passion. Every actor was actively participating in his own work, so he forgot the meaning of time and could only feel that everything was developing on the right track. That’s enough.

Another slight difference is that after the story enters the forest part, part of the plot takes place in the dark, and Ogus insists on shooting with natural light, which also means that they cannot artificially create a night effect, but need to adjust the work Work and rest time, rest during the day and work at night –

this makes shooting night scenes fun.

In addition to the environment and conditions, they also need to race against time, otherwise, after sunrise, the changes in the surrounding light make it impossible for the shooting to continue.

Now Renly finally understands how difficult and expensive the filming of “The Revenant” is, because the requirements of “The Revenant” for the natural environment are dozens or even hundreds of times more stringent than that of “The Lobster”, which also means The crew needs to fight against nature and time all the time.

No wonder the investment cost of this work is easily over 100 million.

So far, all the crews that Renly has experienced strictly abide by the eight-hour working time rule, and the working time cannot exceed eight hours a day, “Lobster” is no exception, which also means that in order to shoot Night scenes, where the entire crew has to sleep during the day, forcibly reversing the jet lag.

When filming “Transcendence”, Tony Kaye also likes to shoot night scenes. Renly has experienced scenes shot all night, but it was in New York at the time, and the whole city was filled with loud noises, even late at night. Day; but this time to shoot “Lobster”, it is necessary to enter the night of nature, which is a complete night – and the forest next to the town of Snim still maintains the original ecology, which also means insects and beasts All exist, and naturally, the overall shooting experience is different.

This is another reason why Renly likes the “Lobster” crew very, very much: he has experienced a new shooting state, and then adjusts the state according to different situations, which is also a severe test.

He slept groggyly until five o’clock in the afternoon, when Nathan woke Renly, who sat up straight with his eyes closed, but was still reluctant to leave the bed, as if he had fallen asleep again with his eyes closed, and then he whispered. Then came Nathan’s voice, “Renly, here comes Matthew.”
