Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 378: start shooting

The first scene is the most important run-in.

After all, the crew just settled down, and it takes a while to get into the state.

So, Ryman chose the one-man role of the protagonist.

Well, he wanted to see if Jim Carrey had a good grasp on the role...

The actor began to apply makeup and styling.

Each crew is preparing at their respective positions, while Lehman sits behind the director's monitor, coordinating the shooting scenes.

"The No. 1 machine is in place."

Thomas ran over and made a gesture.

"Yeah." Lyman looked at him and said, "Has the track of the second unit been laid? Later, the camera needs to move forward and follow up."

"Ready."

......

With the implementation of various tasks.

The field manager led the scene board and stood in front of the main camera and tapped, "The 21st scene of "Daydream", the first scene, one shot,—"

on the street.

Jim Carrey was wearing a worn gray suit and carrying a somewhat damaged briefcase.

jogging along the road.

He held his head up, his hair was messy, and he looked nervous.

Because he's going to be late.

As a deputy general manager of the magazine in charge of negatives, he has nothing to be proud of, because there are only two people in the negatives department. In addition to being scolded for being late, wages will be deducted.

His name is Walter Mitty, he is 40 years old, and he is single.

This is a very ordinary person, the mediocre first half of his life...

"Crack."

The whole morning was shot very quickly. Because the scenes were simple and Jim Carrey was in good condition, they basically went through it all over again. After three scenes, something went wrong, and it was the heroine Hilary Swank.

Lehmann stood up from behind the monitor and sighed: "Be smarter. What I want is that kind of subtle funny scene. The more serious it is, the more funny it is."

Hilary Swank keeps apologizing, this is the third time she has gone wrong.

Lyman also scratched his forehead with a headache, "Have you never acted in a comedy?"

Hilary shook her head, "I haven't tried this before."

Well, it's normal for people to not be funny because there are too many main dramas.

Before filming started, Lyman was worried that Jim Carrey could not control the funny and serious, and could not switch. Who would have thought that Jim Carrey was the most stable one. For him, light comedy was not a difficult challenge.

After all, the performances in "The Truman's World" and "Warm and Containing Light" are even higher.

Lyman took Hilary Swank aside and said, "You're playing a very ordinary magazine editor, but because Walter Mitty has a crush on you, you have to play against him, you know. It's not that you feel it, you just act normally, and the scenes are all with Jim Carrey. In this scene, you told you to choose a good photo for the cover of the new issue of the magazine, and you can just do it as a routine... In this way, you will smile politely first."

The corners of Hilary Swank's mouth rose, revealing a row of teeth.

Lehman smiled bitterly and said, "It's too sweet, you don't have to be so nice to him, and you don't like him. A smile without any meaning is like the standard smile of a service staff."

Hilary Swank finally understood, her eyes were flat, but she smiled. Don't give people temperature.

"Yes, that's it. A very formal and polite smile. It's an encouraging smile after you, as a boss, instruct the people under you to do things. Keep it like this."

Come back after reset, and the scene went smoothly.

On closer inspection, Hillary has a solid foundation for acting as an actor, but her role is too monotonous and her acting is narrow.

For example, "Daydreamer" is a very light comedy, she can't handle it, she is a typical eccentric.

It's like Jim Carrey, who is used to acting in comedy, plays a serious drama at once, which can easily lead to the audience's drama.

However, do actors always need to grow up?

Immutability is a big no-no.

After filming the first meeting between the two characters, which was also a scene explaining the relationship between the characters, the crew immediately set off to the bus station in the town and continued to shoot the scene of the protagonist returning home from get off work.

This is a group show, except for Jim Carrey, there are a bunch of passers-by around.

The group performance was directly found in the local area. The scene itself is not important, and the group performance does not need to do anything, just chat with the protagonist and wait for the car together.

This scene is divided into two stages, the first is the long-range scene, and then the close-up scene.

After half an hour, the crew was ready.

The field recorder hit the board: "."

The camera lens seems to be pulled up and spread out, directly creating a large panorama, covering all the scenes of the station waiting for the bus, giving people a sense of reality and life to the greatest extent.

Then he pushed inwards, swept over the group portraits of the actors, and the voices of the group actors were also recorded, "Come to my house for a drink, go or not."

"What's the matter, let's do it tomorrow."

The gangsters, they all know each other casually chatting in twos and threes. On the contrary, Walter Mitty stood there stupidly, unable to catch up with him.

Before the car came, he sat casually on the steps.

He looked left and looked again, with a smile on his face all the time.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and in the distance, his goddess Cheryl was walking towards him.

He wanted to strike up a conversation, but he didn't know what reason to strike up a conversation with.

Leng Leng, watching people walk away.

He was a little annoyed. Looking at the back of the goddess, he hoped that he would have a chance to help her.

Come to a hero to save beauty or something.

It seemed like a dream came true.

A residential building ahead suddenly exploded.

He ran over immediately, stepped on the guardrail, and flew in.

This is where the goddess Cheryl lives. He clearly knows that she lives on the 6th floor.

In the end, under the adoring eyes of Cheryl, he saved a puppy, which was the dog of Cheryl's family. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Walter Mitty said coolly, "You don't need to thank me."

The goddess smiled brightly...

Well, the truth is, Walter Mitty can only watch Cheryl's figure disappear.

Here, I have to mention that the protagonist has a quirk, that is, love of fantasy, which is commonly known as lust.

The biggest surprise of the film is that the pictures always shuttle between reality and daydreams.

Whenever Walter can't do anything about something, or he has an idea for someone, he fantasizes that he can solve everything perfectly.

Naturally, fantasy shots could not be shot in real life, so Lehmann found a special effects studio to deal with these very exaggerated scenes.

The most powerful thing about Jim Carrey is not only his rich body language, but also his facial expressions and muscle control.

Or, among so many comedians, he has taken a very unique path.

This is also the reason why Lehman fell in love with him when he met him.

For people who love fantasy, the effect brought by the subtle control of facial expressions is simply surprising, and the beautiful dream moment of the frustrated person is vividly revealed, which has a very amusing effect.

"Crack, pass."

Lyman nodded. In terms of comedy performances, Jim Carrey has nothing to say.

It's very lifelike, and it drives the surrounding group performers with rich expressions.
