Chapter 371 A Joke About Water Guns and Beaches (Earth)

"Leo, your expression is too exaggerated."

When Truman said these words, the entire shooting site was silent for a few seconds.

Since the beginning of March, the chaotic shooting scene of "Spawn" has been like an animal jungle. Wesley Snipech and Jason Cullen have successively occupied the highest peak of the food chain, and then Xiao Li is like the king of bushes Appearing, he overwhelmed all parties, so that everyone ignored Truman, the director and starring role.

Truman is indeed very easy to be overlooked, he stands there like a beautiful vase, and will not show any power.

Until now, those crew members who ignored Truman realized that Truman is also the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture. When it comes to the B award of the award, at least in the position of director, they can provide guidance to Xiao Lizi.

"Restrain yourself." Truman stood up and said to Xiao Li, "Don't treat the set of "Spawn" as a beach, after all, you didn't have a water gun~"

Xiao Lizi stared at Truman.

Truman looked back at him.

The atmosphere between the two was solidified and stiff, so a sense of cracking swept the entire set like a silent tide, and all the staff became silent. Wesley, who has always considered himself a superstar, even relaxed his breath. This is terrible, really. .

Adam happened to be at the scene today, and now there is only one thought in his mind, that is, Truman must not beat up Xiao Li, really, otherwise "Spawn" will cause great trouble.

"I was just joking," Truman said, his tone relaxed and even apologetic, "Sorry, I thought you'd like the 'beach and water guns' joke."

"Haha~" Xiao Lizi also smiled, "I don't like you, but I like you very much."

Xiao Lizi is 26 years older than Truman, which is more than double his age. Of course, he has enough emotional control ability, but the theater is like a jungle. If you don’t occupy a favorable position in the ecological chain, you will be bullied, unless you are in Martin Scorsese or Cameron's crew, otherwise Xiao Li is at the top.

"That's great, Leo, since we like each other, we are friends who can talk about everything!" Truman shook hands with Xiao Lizi enthusiastically.

Oops... Hearing this sentence, Adam felt that things were going to be bad. Others are being polite. If you talk about everything, it will hurt people.

Then Truman said again: "Calm down, I think you are acting too hard. Your acting skills these years have entered a misunderstanding of 'excessive force'. It's not bad, but making changes will refresh the audience. Say Maybe Oscar will favor you again."

Xiao Lizi's expression was not very good-looking. He stared at the Chinese in front of him, judging whether he should get angry, but he only saw the sincerity in Truman's eyes.

"Emotions should be controlled at a deeper level." Truman said, "For example, your smile in "The Great Gatsby"..."

Truman made a warm smile.

Little Lizi, who was not very happy, found that it was exactly the same as his own smile.

"It's so deliberate, I think The Great Gatsby was the turning point of your acting, from that one movie, you start to be flamboyant, if you put your smile back a little bit, the muscles here and the muscles here don't tense So tight..."

Truman showed a few more smiles. He pointed his fingers at the muscles on his face, as if to indicate that as long as he controls this, the smile will be restrained a little, two, or three.

Xiao Lizi should be angry. He was questioned by such a young director about his acting skills, but he was surprised to see that Truman's face seemed to be performing magic tricks. He could clearly see a smile of 100%, a smile of 70%, and a smile of 40%...

"I think it's more appropriate to reduce it here." Truman said, his voice and expression were very sincere.

Xiao Lizi was a little embarrassed, because he was offended, and he felt that he should get angry, but Truman's sincerity and apology were so obvious, so he froze here.

"Let's take a break!" Rick Ewan rushed over in time to relieve Xiao Lizi's embarrassment.

According to Xiao Lizi's contract, he should rest for half an hour every two hours of shooting.

Next, every time I went to the rival scene between Truman and Xiao Lizi, the atmosphere of the whole set would be a little cohesive. Long Ma was deeply touched by this. She wrote on her METE: "Every day I feel like I will be killed by two It’s as nervous as a prehistoric monster eating it!”

The media is also very interested in the set of "Spawn", but it is normal for Xiao Lizi and Truman to have any conflicts. As long as there is no fight, it is not news. Logically, it should have already started. ...

It's true that it hasn't started yet.

By mid-May, the media began to calculate whether "Spawn" was overdue, and whether the budget was enough to support it to the end.

Jason Cullen knows this best. The original plan was that the shooting of "Spawn" will end in mid-June, but so far, only 6 pages of the 300-page script have been shot. Qin, it's not just Xiao Lizi who is changing the script, Truman is also starting to change it, which makes people scratch their heads.

Xiao Lizi changed the script because he felt that some parts did not fit the character of "Devil King Caesar".

The reason why Truman changed the script was... God said.

The scene shot today is the story of the protagonist following the devil Caesar to hell to save Dragon Mother. Most of this kind of surrealist movies are shot with green screen and post-production, so the level of CG is very important. During live performances , Xiao Lizi thinks there must be many devil minions here, but Truman thinks that one is enough.

"A very powerful minion of the devil..." Truman was talking, when he suddenly looked at the green screen.

At this moment, there was a strong wind outside the studio.

And the green screen in the shed was blown up, and those folds and bumps formed a weird and terrifying face.

This is not a CG animation, and it has not yet reached the stage of making CG animation. All the staff on the scene are staring at this green screen. The next second, there is a scream of "squeaky" from the sound of the crew.

Everyone was startled.

Truman looked at the green screen with a very serious and apprehensive expression, and then Feng Zikai announced that today's shooting ended here.

……

"Why was the filming suspended?" Jason Cullen approached Feng Zikai and asked, "We are already behind schedule, and every day counts."

At this time, Feng Zikai and Truman were distinguishing the green screen recorded by the camera, who was that face? There was no time to answer Jason Cullen's questioning.

"We didn't overspend, and there is still a lot of money in the account." Lin Yuhang was responsible for comforting Jason Cullen.

Jason Cullen complained: "There is only about 8000 million US dollars left in the budget, but if the money for CG and publicity is excluded, it should be a small negative number. If the shooting continues, it will definitely exceed the budget."

"Trust us." Lin Yuhang patted Jason Cullen on the shoulder, "Our shooting progress will only get faster and faster!"

That night, the studio they used for filming caught fire.

The flames turned the Berkuli sky red.
