Chapter 344 Kakaka

"Crack!"

Wang Shu shouted and the filming process stopped.

“Matt, you don’t have a very good image of outsiders who are blind.”

Wang Shu called Matt Damon and explained, "What this movie needs is that the protagonist's external image in the movie is that of a real blind man, so that he can avoid being cheated."

"At the same time, you also need to let the audience know that you are a fake blind person."

"To put it simply, you have to pretend to be blind so that the character in the play does not suspect that you are pretending to be blind, rather than playing a real blind person."

Matt Damon's acting skills are okay, but his interpretation of this role did not meet Wang Shu's requirements.

Although this movie has the original "The Tuner" as a reference, it is still quite difficult for actors to get into the mood perfectly on the first day of filming.

The difficulty in portraying the protagonist is that the audience needs to know that he is pretending to be blind, so that he can laugh.

Of course, these are European and American stars who get older and lose their looks.

But since I turned 30, I have completely changed as a person.

Monica would be called a "ball flower" only if she broke a little.

This unique beauty earned her the title of "Earth Ball Flower."

Before the age of 30, watching it can make people fall in love.

When Monica heard this, a smile appeared on her face. She also knew the art of speaking. She pretended to be relieved and answered: "I was worried that you were not satisfied. With your words, I feel relieved."

As long as the actor performed well, he would not hesitate to praise him.

After the age of 30, ugly rejection.

Now Monica is 43 years old, with less youthfulness of a girl and more sexiness and charm of a mature woman.

At the same time, the blind man should also be pretended to be serious, so that the supporting characters will not look stupid in the eyes of the audience.

Although this title sounds a bit exaggerated, it does reflect her unique beauty and unparalleled appearance.

Even though it was her first day joining the crew, Monica already knew that Wang Shu had great power in the crew.

It's not that Monica's acting skills are better than Matt Damon's, but that Monica has appeared in many crime and suspense movies and is relatively experienced.

The image in "La La Land" is also very interesting.

Many Hollywood actresses who are obviously good-looking are exuding their second youth.

Monica Bellucci is one of the recognized representatives of beauty.

But it doesn't matter, because in the era after Emma Stone turned 30, the United States had already mastered the "rejuvenation technology" of actresses.

In order to play this role well, Matt Damon has watched the original "The Tuner" disc repeatedly at home.

Whether it is Monica Bellucci or Sophie Marceau, they are still beautiful even in their 40s.

Especially those with different skin colors and races are even more controversial.

"Tree." Monica, who had nothing to do for a while, came over and said hello.

Her image is very suitable for the heroine.

Everyone's aesthetics are actually different, and because of this, there will be controversy over the representative of appearance.

In addition, I have experience in starring in this type of movie.

He understood what Wang Shu meant and said a little embarrassedly: "Give me five minutes."

At the peak of her appearance, she not only gained a high reputation among foreigners, but was even hailed as the most beautiful woman by the French.

In addition, this title is also a way of ridiculing her beauty, comparing her to a woman who can represent the beauty of the earth.

For example, Emma Stone, who played the heroine Gwen in "The Amazing Spider-Man", was very beautiful before the age of 30, and her image of Gwen is stunning.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables.

Monica is not disabled, and her appearance is not much different from when she was young. Compared with when she was young, she is mature and beautiful now.

Monica and Matt Damon have filmed opposite scenes together, so there will be a tacit understanding.

It is also true that the crew where he films has always had a good atmosphere.

Wang Shu has always been not a strict director, but a praise director.

Wang Shu nodded, knowing that Matt Damon was going to go five minutes ago to figure out the role again.

It does fit quite well.

Many European and American actresses are completely different people before and after the age of 30.

I have to admit that beauty lies in the bones, not the skin, and this makes sense.

Compared with Matt Damon, who couldn't figure out the role for a while, Monica Bellucci was obviously much more comfortable.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Shu felt that the old man Dino was good at choosing actors.

Wang Shu praised her at the right time: "Monica, you are very suitable for this role, it is simply perfect."

As for Monica, she is called the "Earth Flower" because of her beauty that is widely recognized around the world.

Under normal circumstances, new directors in Hollywood have basically no rights in the crew.

Not only can the script not be modified at all, but the daily filming schedule is also arranged by the crew.

The director is completely a part-time worker, and his daily work is entirely determined by the crew managed by the producer.

This is also a manifestation of the producer-centered system. The producer is the largest in the entire crew, and the director is just a hired worker.

It stands to reason that Wang Shu was a wage earner invited by Dino, and he was treated like this.

However, in addition to Wang Shu not having the right to cast, he can not only modify the script, but also the content that the crew shoots every day is based on his opinions.

This is already equivalent to that of a major Hollywood director.

Monica also knew that Wang Shu had such great power in the crew.

Although the director from the East is young, he is actually the director with the highest box office in domestic commercial films in China.

Moreover, he has won awards at three major European awards and even won the Best Actress Award at Cannes.

Especially at the recent Venice Film Festival, it won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.

Not to mention the original film "The Tuner", which was written and directed by the young director.

Monica knew in her heart that this movie and her role had already produced a Cannes winner.

Nowadays, it is a more commercial remake. It has no hope of winning the top three European Best Actress Awards, but it can win the Oscar.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I'm not dissatisfied. You performed very well."

Monica thought she could win an Oscar with this film. She looked at Wang Shu seriously with a smile and said, "Shu, you don't have to be so polite. I want to hear the truth from you."

"This movie has a chance to win an Oscar. I want to perform better."

"It doesn't mean that it's almost passable. I want to present it better."

"So, please be more strict with me."

"I'm not going to be angry about it."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then said, "In the version you shot before, Ms. Jiang was able to win the Best Actress Award at Cannes for this role."

"Perhaps I can also win the Oscar for Best Actress with this role?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Matt Damon not far away, and then said with a bright smile, "Matt thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn't be so serious."

"We have all seen the original movie, and the plot is really excellent."

"It is our honor and an opportunity to participate in this movie." "Matt even lowered his salary to take this role."

All Hollywood actors pursue Oscar awards.

Because having awards around you is a symbol of status in the European and American entertainment circles.

Without prizes, no matter how popular you are, the respect you receive is all in vain.

In the European and American entertainment circles, there is also a chain of contempt.

For example, the protagonists in Marvel's superhero movies are all world-famous, and some actors' salaries can even reach tens of millions of dollars.

They all seem to be awesome, but in fact these actors are at the lower end of the contempt chain in European and American entertainment circles.

In Hollywood, no actor with a good career would even bother to star in a superhero movie like this.

In the mainstream entertainment industry, art films win awards. This is a symbol of status, and everything else is illusory.

Although stage plays are also at the upper end of the contempt chain, European actors pay more attention to stage plays.

It's like an actor from England who works in Hollywood and performs two or three stage plays every year.

Another example is the Dutch brother who was born in England. He and the black heroine participated in "Romeo and Juliet", which was a stage play.

Logically speaking, there is absolutely no need for Holland to participate in such a stage play.

In fact, stage plays are the tradition of British actors, and their quality is higher than that of "Spider-Man" starring the Dutch brother.

"Spider-Man" only made him famous around the world. In the European and American entertainment circles, he was not only unqualified, but also looked down upon.

In short, stage plays are art, and the superhero movie "Spider-Man" is a stinker.

Art is greater than the smell of copper.

As for actors born in the United States, they do not have a strong stage drama tradition, and accordingly they do not put too much energy into stage dramas.

American actors care about awards.

Especially the Academy Awards, which are the symbol of Hollywood excellence.

If you want to win Oscars, art films are the mainstream.

Therefore, in Hollywood, art film actors have always had higher standards, especially those who have won awards.

Since her debut, Monica has acted in several award-winning art films, but they have not received much response.

Seeing how candid she was, Wang Shu responded seriously: "I understand."

Monica heard this and responded with a charming smile.

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the filming work of the crew continued.

Wang Shuxin said that no wonder Matt Damon and others acted so seriously. At first, I thought these people were very dedicated, but it turned out that they wanted to win an Oscar.

This version of "The Tuner" was produced in the United States and filmed in Hollywood. As long as it premieres at the Academy, it will be able to participate in the selection of the Academy Awards.

And, there is indeed a chance to win a prize.

In 2006, the Hollywood film "The Departed", a remake of the Hong Kong classic film "The Departed", won four awards at the 79th Academy Awards: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Picture.

At the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, because "The Tuner" had too many commercial elements, Wang Shu only won the best screenplay.

Now coming to Hollywood, on the stage where the Oscars are more commercially focused, it may not just be the best screenplay.

However, even if this version of "The Tuner" can participate in the Oscar competition, it will only be in early 2009.

This is because the Academy Awards are held every year in late February.

For example, the next Academy Awards will be held on February 2008, 2.

It is now October 2007, 10, and there are still more than four months before the Academy Awards.

In more than four months, if the process is faster, it seems that we can catch up, but in fact we cannot catch up at all.

Because February 2008, 2 is the time when the Academy Awards ceremony will be held.

The deadline for submitting the list is early December 2007.

In this case, only two months at most.

It takes two months to start from scratch, and it is basically impossible to pass the censorship of the finished film.

Especially here is Hollywood, unlike in China where the rush to shoot can force the entire crew to work from dawn to dusk.

Here, no.

Under normal circumstances, Hollywood production crews pay great attention to the working hours of actors and staff. They have to clock in at the beginning and end of work. They must take rest on Saturdays and Sundays. The working hours on weekdays are also strictly controlled within ten hours. If they exceed the time limit, they will be Give subsidies.

At the same time, the actors will not have assistants accompanying them on the set, and the crew will arrange everything.

In short, it is absolutely impossible to complete "The Tuner" within two months.

Not to mention, the crew has already anticipated three months of filming.

If Wang Shu delays filming, it may even be postponed.

Matt Damon brewed for five minutes, and although his condition was better than before, it was still a bit uninteresting.

"Crack!"

Wang Shu shouted, and then said to Matt Damon: "I'll give you five more minutes."

"." After hearing this, Matt Damon didn't say anything and silently continued to figure out the role.

If it were any other young director, Matt Damon would definitely be emotional and would not speak like this, and might even take it as making things difficult.

But Wang Shu is different. He was the screenwriter and director of the original "The Tuner". He also won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival for this film, and also won a Cannes Best Actress.

He knew in his heart that no one understood the shaping of male protagonists better than Wang Shu.

Since Wang Shu is not satisfied, it must be because his acting is not good enough.

When Monica saw this, she smiled at Wang Shu. She could feel that Wang Shu's demands had obviously increased.

Five minutes passed.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Wang Shu shouted "Ka" seven times in a row. Seeing that Matt Damon was still not interested, he had no choice but to explain in detail the characteristics of the male protagonist and the effects he needed.

After finishing speaking, Wang Shu added: "Actually, this shot is passable."

"The difference is whether you want to let it go, or whether you perform more perfectly."

After all, Matt Damon is also a popular actor in Hollywood, so it would be very shameful to keep nudging him on the first day of filming.

Wang Shu considered this and took advantage of the opportunity to speak.

After hearing this, Matt Damon understood what Wang Shu meant and said with a smile: "I am an actor, of course I want to perform more perfectly."

"That's good." Wang Shu said with a smile.

Finally, after clicking 11 times, the shot met Wang Shu's requirements.

Since the leading actors are all veteran actors who have been in the industry for many years, the filming of "The Tuner" was difficult first and then easier.

Master the difficult parts first, and then play the easy parts later, so that you can be more expressive.

But this way, the start will naturally not be smooth.

For example, on the first day I started the computer, it went NG many times.
