Hollywood Drawing

In Los Angeles in September, the morning had begun to feel a little cooler. Sergey closed the car door with a bang and waited all night.

After getting out of the car, he stamped his feet and looked at the sun that was about to rise. He hesitated, wondering whether he should go upstairs and wake up his boss. This was also the first time he encountered this kind of thing.

"Maybe I should go back last night?"

While he was stretching his long arms and twisting his body left and right, he heard the sound of "thump, thump, thump" coming down the stairs.

"Damn it! I forgot about you!" Wayne looked at Sergey's wrinkled clothes and knew that he had spent the night in the car. "My fault, I thought you went back last night. I should have come down and told you."

"It's okay, boss." Sergey shook his long arm and helped Wayne open the back door. After he got into the car, he sat in the driver's seat and turned to ask him.

"Shall we go back to the manor? Or go directly to the studio?"

Wayne raised his wrist, looked at his watch and shook his head. "Go directly to the studio, it's too late to go back now."

Last night, the black pearl brought him another kind of enjoyment, that satin-like skin, which a white girl could never have.

Coupled with her open play style, the flexible body of a professional model, and the unique curvature of African Americans, he was so fascinated for a moment that he forgot that Sergey was still waiting downstairs.

Sergey drove the car smoothly. He sat in the back and thought about this woman. This was the second woman he had had a relationship with in more than a year. Unlike Naomi, although he admired her appearance, he was dissatisfied with her appearance. She didn't feel anything.

Whether it was the ridiculous farce caused by her during this period, or her willingness to participate in this plan because of Warner, Wayne had no interest in African Americans from the beginning.

But now he just wants to say: Oh mom, it smells so good!

"Boss, we're here." Sergey's reminder interrupted his recollection. "Do you want me to go in with you? Or do you want to drive the tram yourself?"

"No, just find a place to rest. I won't leave Warner Studio during the day. Just pick me up before get off work." Looking at Sergey's wrinkled suit, Wayne knew that he must not have had a good rest last night. That big guy is a bit too big for the space inside the car.

After speaking, Wayne waved to him and didn't let him get off. He found a tram and drove into the studio.

First, I took out today’s shooting plan, and after confirming the shooting shots, I let out a long sigh.

The current filming schedule is about three days ahead of schedule, leaving him and the crew plenty of room for trial and error. Originally, he thought that this film would be much more difficult than the previous one.

But I didn't expect that being backed by a giant would be such a huge benefit. All kinds of props and scenery, plus a huge studio, gave Wayne unlimited ways to take advantage of the situation.

This kind of shooting method was definitely a bit unorthodox in Hollywood in the 1990s. Unlike later generations, almost all commercial films were made indoors, with as few outdoor scenes as possible.

Nowadays, directors and production companies are not so arrogant. The common thinking in this era is that if a film is not shot on location, it really has no artistic content. And from film critics to Academy committee members, no one would agree with such a film, let alone an Oscar.

It was only after the success of "300", the first movie shot entirely indoors, that the industry suddenly realized that all indoor shooting could actually save so much money and effort.

Director Zack Snyder is a commercial director. He has been shooting music videos and various commercials for many years, so he knows all kinds of low-cost methods, and the films he produces are particularly gorgeous.

Wayne is not that crazy yet, but this film is special and the cost is low, so he can put most of the scenes here.

"Hi, good morning, Director Greenberg!" Metz was the first to walk into the studio holding a stack of newspapers. After saying hello, she shook the newspaper in her hand and pointed to one of the large photos.

"It seems that these media are not talking nonsense. Did you really go on a date with Halle Berry last night?" As a woman and an African-American woman, Mace's heart for gossip is burning at this moment.

After receiving the newspaper, Wayne had to say that Warner's reporters were really professional. The picture above looks like a candid shot of two people having an intimate conversation while eating in a restaurant.

There is also the following report, which is also consistent with "Get Out". In the words of the newspaper, it was this movie that made a pair of enemies and lovers. It also briefly described the story outline of "Get Out" and the African-American actors in it.

"Are you really dating? Oh, I understand, you didn't go home last night!" Metz looked at him and said nothing. He just stared at the newspaper and asked him again.

"How do you know?" Wayne was a little surprised. "That's not what was written in the newspaper, right?"

"Clothes!" Mace pointed to his shirt. "You usually change clothes every day. Although the styles are similar, this outfit is obviously from yesterday. The shirt has not been ironed."

Looking down at himself, Wayne smiled and drove away Mace. Since he moved into the manor, he had never cared about clothes or anything else, but he would change his clothes every day, and Hela would always prepare everything.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all the crew members arrived one after another, and Wayne began his busy work again.

Maybe the filming in the past few days went too smoothly, and even God was against the crew. For a scene between Will Smith and Rebecca (the mother of the heroine), Will couldn't get into the mood.

He had no choice but to stop filming and patiently explain the scene to Will Smith.

"Will, hey, think about how you performed today, compared to last time it was like shit. Get yourself into it, you're talking to your girlfriend's mom and you were in good shape before she hit the spoon.

However, after she hits the spoon, you have to cry. It’s not this kind of formal tears. You can’t control yourself. Do you understand? While telling things about your mother when you were a child, you can't control your tears. You want the audience to understand your performance! "

Wayne walks around him as he talks, which is one of the few difficult points in the film. The male protagonist must use facial expressions, eyes and language to convey to the audience the feeling that he is forcibly hypnotized.

"Let me rest for a while and give me some time to adjust. I promise I'll be fine." Will Smith did not look in a good condition. Although it couldn't be seen from his face, he was mentally depressed. depressed.

"Okay, adjust it yourself." Just as Wayne passed him and walked towards the director's monitor, he suddenly felt like he smelled something.

"Hoo, ho!"

That's right, he turned back and took two deep breaths. The smell was very faint, but very obvious.

"Damn it, Will, call your agent over here." Wayne was a little angry. He knew that 80% or more of the people in this studio had the habit of smoking leaf cigarettes, but since No one smokes that stuff at work.

Yes, Wayne often smelled this smell in middle school, a slightly fishy smell. Although he had never tried it, he was very sensitive to it.

"Hey, Wayne, listen to me!" Will Smith obviously saw the serious expression on the director's face and tried to explain: "My agent hasn't come yet. Listen, it's my fault this time. There was something wrong last night. I’m a party member from the rap circle, so I played until morning, sorry!”

That's right, he is usually quite dedicated, and this has never happened to him.

"Okay, I accept your apology. I will shoot other scenes in the morning and this scene in the afternoon." Wayne didn't say much more. Of course, leaf cigarettes are indispensable for the party, and maybe he also ate something else. thing.

Since he has already apologized, there is no need to pursue him. "Will, you have to make sure there won't be a next time, at least don't touch those things while working!"

"OK, thanks!"

After Wayne returned to the monitor, he took out the director's notebook and began to change the shooting scenes. With Will Smith's current state, it was impossible to shoot complicated scenes.

"What's wrong with him? Coffee, boss!"

Nina asked curiously as she handed him a cup of hot coffee.

"It's nothing, you know the routine at singers' parties." Wayne explained casually to his assistant. "Especially those rap stars. In addition to women at the party, there are big guys, cocaine, cocaine, and other addictive drugs. I really don't understand. What are those things? It’s so cool.”

Listening to his complaints, Nina looked understanding and suddenly stared at her boss and said: "Nami said you have never touched these things, can't it be true?"

Wayne gave her a sideways glance. "Yes, I know those things are harmful, why do I still smoke them?"

"It's so pitiful, boss, you've lost a big part of your youth. When I was in school, when I encountered something particularly stressful, I would take a puff occasionally. In terms of relaxing my nerves, leaf cigarettes are more comfortable than cigarettes."

Listening to Nina's complaints, Wayne didn't find it strange that young people in this country, from middle school to university, were like him and rarely used inducing drugs.

"Cigarettes are different." He was making a last ditch effort. "!Okay, I know cigarettes are harmful too!"

The filming work was carried out in an orderly manner. Every three to five days, he would have a meal with Halle Berry, and every time a reporter would "happen" to secretly photograph them.

In various reports, the relationship between Wayne and Halle Berry has become increasingly clear, and now the only thing left is to announce the relationship.

You know, we are still in the 1990s, and black and white matching is really rare.

For a white man like Wayne to find a girlfriend of color, most of whom are Latino and very few are African-American. This in itself is an eye-catching thing.

He and Halle Berry are pretty good. The opening scene in "Get Out" features an African-American boy and a white girl. This was considered unconventional in the 1990s. Of course, the core conflict of the film is based on this. above.
