Hollywood Drawing

In fact, these early scenes of the film, except for the scene of destroying the headquarters of the Kagemusha Alliance, do not have any big scenes. Bruce Wayne and Ducard, Bruce Wayne wandering at the bottom, feeling sin and joining sin, these are actually just Explaining the growth of Batman.

Although the shooting speed was not very fast under Wayne's strict requirements, it was definitely not slow. Especially with Christian Bale in hot form, Liam Neeson has been performing steadily, and more and more shooting plans have been completed.

Perhaps the only trouble he has encountered is that Christian Bale has been out of character for longer and longer periods of time.

"Cut! This is fine, just rest for five minutes."

After Wayne shouted stop, Christian Bale was still sitting on the artificial ice in a daze, unable to recover, as if the whole world had abandoned him.

This situation has happened many times. Liam Neeson and Zack Snyder tried to help him in the first two days, but they were rejected by him every time.

Whenever this happens, Christian Bale will be willing to chat with the director only if Wayne approaches him.

After several minutes, he got up from the ground, sat on the makeup chair, and let out a long breath.

Wayne had been observing him with a frown, and kept muttering in his heart. They said that a talented actor should be able to release and release freely, but this was the first time he encountered this kind of ability to release but not be able to release.

"Christian, listen, you need to rest!"

Opening the record book, Wayne calculated the shooting progress. After confirming that there would be no problems, he walked up to the actor, looked at him seriously and said:

"I will give you a few days off to take a good look around this beautiful and busy city. When you come back, we will shoot the scene of destroying the Shadow Warrior Alliance. I need you to be in the best condition to end all the scenes here. "

"No, Director Greenberg!" Christian Bale shook his head vigorously. "I'm at my best now, trust me, okay?"

Of course his current filming condition is good, so good that it can exceed Wayne's customized plan, but his own mental state is hard to say. Wayne was happy with his condition, but he was also afraid that something would happen to him before the scene was finished.

After a few more words of persuasion, he was still firmly rejected. Christian Bale's eyes were full of persistence. "Director Greenberg, oh, okay, Wayne. Believe me, after the filming of this film is completed, I will have plenty of time to rest. I prepared for this role for nearly 8 months, and I must leave the best on film. superior."

Seeing his attitude, Wayne shook his head, walked back behind the monitor, and sat on the director's chair. Such an actor is definitely good for the film, and Christian Bale has gained his favor.

But he is not Hitchcock after all. Even if he thinks he is cold enough, he is still worried about the psychological problems of actors.

Similar things are very common in Hollywood. To put it bluntly, we are just colleagues and no one really cares about the feelings of the actors. There are even directors and producers who deliberately conceal the true situation for the sake of the effect of the film, and do not stop filming to hurt the actors.

Hitchcock did this when he was filming "The Birds". He told Tippi Hedley that everything in the film was props, and the unsuspecting heroine was pulled directly into the set.

A swarm of crazy birds attacked her, biting and biting her! Moreover, this big beauty was filled with Ollie. During this period, Hitchcock was completely silent in the camera effects. When the crew saw the blood, no one stepped forward to stop it.

This classic shot is still talked about by people, but no one knows that everything in it is true. Before the shot was finished, the beautiful girl Tibby was covered in injuries and fainted.

So in the movie "The Birds", Tippi Hedley's crazy screams are real. Although this kind of shooting has created the most realistic and classic scene in film history, Hitchcock's cruel behavior and the crew's inaction also made some of the actors who worked with him shudder.

No one disclosed the ruthlessness of capital and Hitchcock's status within the circle to the outside world. Even if he was criticized among the actor community, it still could not stop actors who wanted to work with him from appearing.

"Batman, No. 5."

The clapperboard was laid down crisply. On the set, Liam Neeson used an orchid to make a hallucinatory aromatherapy and handed it to Christian Bale.

"Feel the fear in your heart, and let fear become one with you! Only in this way can you conquer fear and become fear!"

This toxin extracted from blue flowers, when made into aromatherapy, can cause hallucinations and remind people of all the fears in their hearts.

When Christian Bale took the fear-inducing aromatherapy and placed it in front of him, lowering his head to breathe, his expression changed instantly. The panic in his emotions gradually replaced calm, as if he really wanted to die about the thing he was most afraid of. .

At this time, a close-up of his face was clearly reflected on the monitor. Both Wayne and Tim Burton were staring at the screen, watching carefully without blinking.

Christian Bale's face gradually turns pale on the screen. Just from his expression, it can be seen that he must be very hesitant at this time.

After hesitating for a while, his expression was slowly replaced by determination, as if he had just overcome the superficial fear, and really, as Liam Neeson said, he had become one with fear.

"cut! Great!"

Wayne and Tim Burton looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction. He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly.

Even Liam Neeson, who plays opposite Christian Bale, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of shot, which the director must have strictly required, passed in one take, which made the staff watching feel relieved at the same time.

This kind of shot that requires post-editing to incorporate reminiscence material and play with emotions, as long as the director's requirements are strict, is the kind of shot that can only be shot in a day, and it is by no means new.

"Pack up your things and move on!" Zack Snyder ignored the actor who was still standing and loudly directed each group to start transitioning to prepare for the next scene.

"This kid will become an A star in the future." Tim Burton looked at Christian Bale with eyes filled with unabashed admiration, not to mention hesitant praise.

"Of course, that's how I see it too."

Wayne shrugged and crossed out another page in his notebook.

"By the way, what do you think of this year's Oscars?" As time goes by, another awards season is coming soon, and this is also another battle for fame and fortune among insiders.

Wayne smiled softly when he heard about Oscar. He already had another idea in his mind, so he didn't take this year to heart. "As long as I have a nomination, it is enough. Although I did not attend the awards season due to work reasons, Warner Bros. still promoted a best director nomination for "Joker".

This year should still be the same strategy, "The Return of the Clown" wants a nomination. It's not difficult with the media capabilities of Warner Bros., Tim, you know, my age is too big a problem, the Academy will not give me the statuette so early.

Now it's just about accumulating points. If those old guys wanted to give it to me earlier, they would have given it to me from "Joker" from the year before last. So, the purpose is to accumulate points and survive the qualifications. "

Tim Burton didn't expect him to be so sober. No matter which director or actor, they generally couldn't keep calm when facing the statuette.

The reasons given by the other party were all valid, but there was one point on which he had a different opinion. "Wayne, believe me, if it weren't for Schindler's List, you'd have a great chance of getting that statuette.

The social impact of "Joker" is too great, and the emotional arousal of the film is too strong. I once heard some news that some college bigwigs did vote for you, but it was a pity that "Schindler's List" happened! "

This is Tim Burton's real thought. Although he also knows that the chance is low, he still feels a pity.

Before joining the crew, he had met Steven Spielberg at a party and talked about Wayne and "Joker."

Steven Spielberg once lamented at the time, "George and I both thought that Wayne would slowly embark on his own path to becoming a master through the accumulation of film after film, just like we did at the beginning." I didn't expect that his "Joker" would shorten this time by at least ten years. ’

According to the good old man and George Lucas, his "Joker" is definitely worthy of a statuette. After all, the social environment is so suitable. Unfortunately, the director's age is a flaw, and he encountered "Schindler's List" Bad luck too.

"Forget it, Tim, as long as there is a nomination, I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry." On the surface, Wayne looked at the statuette casually, but what he thought in his heart was another matter.

Originally, he had already thought about it. Through the path he had planned, by smashing the films one by one, he would definitely be able to smash the Oscars away.

But after meeting Anthony Minghella, his thoughts changed again. He didn't care how Harvey Weinstein would publicize "The English Patient". Business was business. He really wanted to make "The English Patient" a soft persimmon. Try a pinch.

Avoiding the director's monitor moved by the crew, Tim Burton patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as you have this mentality, I can promise you that when you need it, I will give you my vote." I can help you fight for it with some old friends."

"OK, I remember."

He knows that these old people in the circle are influential. The vote is not just one, but will affect the choices of many people. By then, coupled with the media capabilities of Warner Bros. and finding a better public relations company, it might really scare a lot of people.
