Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 163 Acceleration

The male protagonist Alex, Todd, Todd's brother George and others entered the cabin. When they passed the rear cabin, they heard a baby crying.

Matt Damon, who plays George, patted Ryan Phillippe on the shoulder and said, "This is a good thing. The younger the better. If this plane crashed, God would be too perverted."

When they arrived at the front cabin, a patient on a ventilator greeted them while gasping for breath, looking like he was dying.

This role was played by Link in order to increase participation.

“God is a pervert.”

George complained.

"Cut!"

"Passed, next one!"

Sophia yelled.

"It was so easy to shoot. Why do you all say that Link was so perverted during the filming, asking you to shoot over and over again, sometimes shooting a scene dozens of times?"

Matt Damon asked, leaning back in his seat.

Joaquin Phoenix said, "That's because we acted better. He couldn't find any problems. In the first few weeks of filming, Link almost tortured us to death. If you don't believe me, ask Ryan and Edward."

Ryan Phillippe shrugged his shoulders. "In the past, I would wake up in shock when I dreamed about monsters. Now I often dream of Link yelling 'No, do it again' in my dreams. I perform the same act over and over again in my dreams. I can't wake up even if I want to. This is more terrifying than dreaming."

Hahaha!
Everyone couldn't help laughing, but they were worried that Link would hear them, so except for Matt Damon, everyone else consciously lowered their voices.

Matt Damon looked at them speechlessly, "Are you guys exaggerating? When I worked with Link before, I never saw him being so strict."

Ben Affleck said, "When we were filming The Witch, Link was more concerned about realism and didn't ask for high acting skills. We could act however we wanted. But when we were filming Deathly Hallows, Link had very high requirements for everyone. Liv was criticized to the point of breaking down and crying several times."

"Shut up!"

Liv Tyler glared back at him, her cheeks flushed.

Angelina Jolie smiled with her red lips raised.

"Is Link really that scary? He looks so gentle and gentlemanly."

Jennifer Aniston, who plays the pretty classmate Krista, laughed.

"It was fine when we weren't filming, but after we started filming, he always had a cold face and no expression on his face. He was very cold and it was very stressful when I was chatting with him."

Ryan Phillippe said.

"That's true. Look at Edward."

Joaquin Phoenix embraced Edward Norton, who plays Carter. "He used to be very gentle and would blush when talking to girls. Now he has a very bad temper. If you provoke him a little, he will get angry."

"I didn't. My character has a rather violent personality, and I could only try my best to act like that during filming. Actually, I'm not violent at all. Fuck, what are you doing?"

While he was talking, Joaquin slapped his butt hard. Edward Nor's face suddenly changed and he pushed Joaquin away with a very unhappy expression on his face.

"Haha, look, am I wrong?"

Joaquin laughed as he was pushed back in his seat.

Edward Norton came to his senses and walked away with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Link is strict with us, but everyone's acting has improved a lot, right?"

Angelina Jolie said with her arms folded and a smile on her face.

"That's true. Link is very good at instructing actors on how to act."

Ryan Phillippe said.

"All teams get ready!"

"The actors are back to their original positions, faster."

Hearing the stage manager's shouting, the actors didn't want to offend Link and quickly returned to their original positions.

"Scene 1, 4st take, begins!"

This scene shows two beautiful classmates wanting to change seats with Todd, but Todd refuses. So the two beauties find the male lead Alex in the back row to change seats with them.

"Hey, Todd!"

Two beautiful classmates played by Jennifer Aniston and Naomi Watts greet Todd.

The two of them wore slim-fitting T-shirts, revealing their fuller chests and slender waists, with a section of white waists. One of them had blonde hair, while the other had black hair, but each had her own unique beauty.

"Hi, how are you guys? This is my seat."

Joaquin Phoenix looked at the two beauties with a smile. His character is a boy who is not popular with girls and does not know how to interact with girls.

"Can you switch seats with Krista? We want to sit together."

asked Naomi Watts, who plays Blake.

"Oh, I'd love to, it's just that I'm having a bit of a bladder problem, a UTI you know, and I have to go to the bathroom all the time."

Todd stammered.

The two beauties stood up with a look of disgust on their faces and went to the back row to switch seats with Alex.

Alex agreed.

"Fool!"

Todd saw Alex coming over and complained with an unhappy look on his face.

"Do you think we really have a chance to pick them up?"

Alex sat down and said.

"You know, it's because of you that I have to sit here and sit through that stupid Pulp Fiction."

Todd cursed.

In the director's area, Link watched the performance of the two actors on the screen and nodded.

After more than two months of training, the main actors have fully got into the state, their performances of lines are very good, and the cooperation between them is very tacit.

Many shots only need to be taken once.

This is also the reason why he was very strict with the actors at the beginning of filming.

All things are difficult at the beginning. As long as the problems of the crew are solved in the front, there will be fewer problems for the crew later, and the shooting will be smoother, and the shooting speed will be faster as time goes by.

"cut!"

"next!"

After the male protagonist sat down, he found that there was a problem with the small table in front of him. He wanted to ask the flight attendant to solve the problem, but the flight attendant ignored him.

The hatch is closed.

The plane began to taxi on the runway.

After the plane took off, the airport began to shake and the lights flickered.

When filming this scene, the actors all sat in a cabin model. The shaking and lighting of the cabin were all controlled by special effects artists, including the amplitude of the shaking and the frequency of the vibration. Everything was controllable, making it almost exactly the same as a real airplane cabin.

The actors don't have many lines in this scene, and the performance mainly depends on their expressions and body movements.

For example, when the plane experienced abnormal vibrations, some passengers showed fear, some closed their eyes in fear, some gasped for breath, and some did not care at all.

This play is both simple and complex.

If the actors' performances are up to par, the filming can be completed in just a few shots.

If individual actors do not perform well, they need to be corrected one by one to prevent obvious flaws.

"cut!"

Link called the production manager, pointed at a few people on the camera, pointed out their problems, and then asked the production manager to communicate with the actors. He did not need to communicate directly with the extras.

After the production manager communicated with several actors, the crew continued filming.

After each take, review the footage. If there are any issues, reshoot it. If there are no issues, pass it and move on to the next one.

After the plane took off, the cabin experienced severe turbulence, but returned to normal after a while.

When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the plane began to vibrate more frequently and sway from side to side like a roller coaster, and many passengers screamed loudly.

The plane continued to sway more and more, a lot of luggage fell out, the ventilator also fell out, the left cabin door caught fire and exploded, someone fell out of the hole, the cabin began to become chaotic, and many people shouted.

This scene is the first climax of the movie and is very important. Neither the special effects nor the actors' performances can be sloppy.

Link watched every detail carefully and it took him three consecutive days to finish the scene.

"Cut!"

"Take a break for an hour and continue shooting in the afternoon."

At lunch time, the crew members took a break.
