Chapter 318 Start Shooting Truman's World (Please recommend and collect)
Witt said quickly: "Zhang, it is my honor to be able to participate in the production of your film!"

"Hehehe!" Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, and said, "When you get the Oscar next year, it's not too late for you to say this again!"

While the two were talking, they had already boarded the car.

After driving for a full three hours, Witt brought Zhang Xiao to Yiside, the main shooting location of the movie.

Yiside is a community with perfect facilities. There are more than 300 houses with almost the same style. The streets are also well-connected. No matter where you go, you can reach the post office, art gallery, seaside and other places.

This is the best location for filming "The Truman Show". Zhang Xiao wandered around the community and finally came to the beach.

Standing on the pier, Zhang Xiao looked at the endless sea and said, "Witt, how did you find this place? It's really great!"

Witt explained with a smile: "This is also thanks to Harris, who recommended this place to me."

Harris is a veteran movie star in Hollywood and a frequent visitor to the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor. Unfortunately, he has never won the award once.

There are two very important roles in "The Truman Show", one is Truman played by Zhang Xiao, and the other is Christopher, the TV director who sets up the whole world by Truman.

It can be said that the whole movie is about these two people fighting each other.

Harris was personally selected by Zhang Xiao from the audition videos of six veteran Hollywood actors, and his acting skills are definitely top-notch.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "It seems that we have to thank Harris well. By the way, have the other actors arrived yet?"

"In two days, it will all be in place!" Witt replied.

Zhang Xiao nodded, and said: "Then we will use these two days to arrange the set as much as possible in advance."

Witt smiled and said, "Don't worry, we've been preparing for it all the time, and I'll show you around tomorrow!"

Zhang Xiao was very satisfied with Witt's work efficiency, and said, "Do you want me to raise your salary?"

"If it can go up, that would be the best!" Witt laughed.

After the two looked at each other, they burst out laughing at the same time.

In the next two days, under the guidance of Witt, Zhang Xiao carefully inspected each studio. It has to be said that Witt's level is indeed very high, and Zhang Xiao did not find too many omissions.

Soon, other actors of the film also showed up.

Zhang Xiao was anxious for everyone to sit together and have a meeting, the main thing is to get to know each other better.

The opening ceremony of "The Truman Show" was very simple, and no media was invited, only the actors and staff within the crew participated.

Zhang Xiao asked the photographer to take a group photo for everyone, and after some ceremonies, it was considered complete.

In the first scene, Zhang Xiao was preparing to shoot Truman smiling and greeting the neighbors.

In other movies, this kind of scene can be easily handled by anyone who has studied acting a little, but in this "The Truman Show", it is not that simple.

Because Zhang Xiao must use a clean, innocent, sunny smile to show Truman's cheerful and optimistic side, and at the same time his smile must be able to infect the movie fans in the future and make them feel very comfortable.

Only after reaching this level, when the truth behind it is revealed, will people truly feel the cruelty of this world.

This kind of difficulty is epic for any actor, even for previous Oscar winners, it is difficult to do it easily.

But for Zhang Xiao, who has god-level acting skills, there is still no difficulty, and he passed it in one go.

In the camera, Zhang Xiao opened the door, grinned, showing his white teeth, and greeted the neighbors around him.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning!" said the female neighbor.

Little girl: "Good morning!"

Zhang Xiao: "Oh, maybe we won't see each other later, so let's wish good afternoon and good night by the way!"

A few simple lines, coupled with Zhang Xiao's clean eyes and hearty and innocent smile, like a spring breeze, instantly infected everyone in the crew.

Including the assistant director Witt, who was sitting in front of the monitor, couldn't help showing a knowing smile.

The first scene was completed so simply, Zhang Xiao put away his smile, walked quickly to the monitor, and watched the replay of the camera.

"Amazing!"

At this time Harris came over and praised, he was completely shocked by Zhang Xiao's performance just now.

The so-called silence is better than sound here.

Zhang Xiao's flowing interpretation and contagious smile can be called a god-level acting skill.

Harris really couldn't imagine that such an acting skill would appear on a Huaguo actor who was less than 30 years old. Not only him, but other actors were also extremely shocking.

The actors who can be favored by Zhang Xiao, their acting skills can be regarded as upper-middle level in Hollywood. They are very clear that if they were allowed to act in the seemingly simple scene just now, it would be as difficult as hitting an Oscar.

But Zhang Xiao was able to handle it with ease, and such an astonishing performance brought great pressure to them.

After looking back and forth several times, Zhang Xiao didn't find any problems, so he started shooting the second scene.

Although the second round was also a greeting, it was very different from the first round.

Because Zhang Xiao had discovered a problem at this time, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes and smile. This section was more difficult, but Zhang Xiao still took it down.

If it may be accidental to be able to perform the trick well for the first time, then it is inevitable to be able to easily handle such a difficult scene twice in a row.

Harris looked at Zhang Xiao's back with burning eyes, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he whispered in his mouth: "It seems that my Oscar for Best Supporting Actor has hope again."

After reading the script of "The Truman Show", Harris fell in love with the play and fell in love with the character of Christopher.

Decades of filming experience made him feel like an Oscar in this film. At that time, his only concern was whether Zhang Xiao could play Truman well.

Although Zhang Xiao's performance as the Joker in Batman is very classic, even though he has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Harris is still a little worried, because the success of a play depends on the protagonist.

If Zhang Xiao can't play the role of Truman well, then the whole movie will be over. At that time, no matter how good his Christopher is, the Oscar Organizing Committee will definitely not nominate him.

But now after seeing Zhang Xiao's amazing performance, Harris is completely relieved, and his Oscar dream is back.

The other actors on the scene were also very excited and excited, and of course they worshiped more.
