Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 273: Oscar winner
After seeing Gong Li off, Lin Ke continued filming.

Since Philadelphia is very close to New York, less than 150 kilometers away, during the filming, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow often came to him secretly for dates.

Sometimes Jennifer came alone, sometimes with three, and sometimes the latter two would come quietly.

The reason why they came quietly was that after the broadcast of "Friends", the three of them gradually became popular and became household names.

Especially Jennifer Aniston, because of her sweet looks, sexy figure and interesting personality, the role of 'Rachel Green' she played became popular all over the United States and her fame is almost as high as that of first-line movie and TV stars.

If paparazzi caught the three of them going to Philadelphia to have sex with Link, the news would probably shock the entire United States.

In addition to them, Monica, Jennifer Connelly, and Liu Xiaoli also took turns to visit him so that he would not have nowhere to vent during filming.

With their care, Link can concentrate more on filming on the crew.

"cut!"

After filming a scene, Link called a pause and stared at the screen on the monitor over and over again.

This is Tom Hanks' first scene after joining the crew.

One year after Dr. McConaughey, the protagonist played by Tom Hanks, was shot by a former patient, he sat on a bench on the street with his work bag, waiting for Cole, a little boy who lived in the house opposite, to show up.

Link watched this shot several times, and always felt that there was a shadow of Forrest Gump in 'Dr. McConaughey'.

Seeing Tom Hanks sitting on the bench, the audience can easily imagine Tom Hanks holding a box of chocolates and saying to a black woman, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."

If Tom Hanks can't get rid of this, his portrayal of Dr. McConaughey cannot be considered a success.

If we continue filming, the whole movie will be in trouble.

"Link, do you have any questions? No matter what the question is, you can ask directly. I heard that you are good at training actors. The actors who have worked with you have made rapid progress in their performances. I am also looking forward to receiving your guidance."

Tom Hanks said with a smile.

Link thought for a moment and said, "Tom, Dr. McConaughey was originally an excellent psychiatrist with a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility. That night, a young man whom he failed to treat committed suicide in front of him, causing him to feel guilty.

Driven by this sense of responsibility and guilt, he found Cole, who suffered from similar psychological problems, hoping to eliminate his regrets with him.

At this time, his eyes should be gentle, full of kindness, patience, mercy, and firmness, like a father or a saint. How to grasp it specifically needs to be interpreted in combination with your personal ideas. "

Tom Hanks nodded and said it would take half an hour to prepare.

Link was in no hurry and told him to continue preparing, and he and the crew continued filming the scenes with the little boy Cole.

After Cole came out of the house, he tiptoed to close the door, glanced across the street, and then hurried forward.

This scene was shot several times, mainly because Cole's performance was not up to par.

In this scene, after Cole left home, he lowered his head and walked quickly forward, behaving like an introverted and autistic child.

The audience will also think so when watching this scene.

At the end of the movie, everyone realized that Dr. McConaughey was a ghost. Seeing a ghost sitting on a bench at the doorstep in broad daylight and following him would scare anyone away.

When performing, Cole's performance needs to be somewhat confusing, acting like a socially anxious person, but also like being frightened, with the line in between blurred. If Cole's performance is too exaggerated, the audience will be confused. Why would an autistic child behave so exaggeratedly when seeing a stranger?
This performance is quite difficult, and the young actor Haley is only 7 years old and cannot understand too complicated emotions.

During the filming, Link could only take his time, chatting with him on the set while filming, and sorting things out bit by bit.

After this scene was filmed, Tom Hanks returned to the stage.

When he sat on the bench, his condition and temperament had changed a lot, but still did not meet Link's requirements.

Link was not in a hurry. He pointed the camera at Tom Hanks and corrected his problems bit by bit, as if he was carving a work of art.

Although Tom Hanks is an Oscar-winning actor and very famous, he has a good temper and is easy to work with.

This scene was filmed over five days. During one of the takes, Tom Hanks seemed like Dr. McConaughey had possessed him. His performance instantly became smooth, natural and appropriate, without any trace of acting.

Link was very surprised and delighted when he saw it on camera.

This situation is like an actor's "epiphany" while performing. To put it simply, he was confused before, but after getting inspiration, he suddenly becomes clear.

This transparency is the character's growth and self-improvement, like an ignorant child suddenly growing up.

Link immediately asked the crew to get busy and hurry up to shoot Dr. McConaughey's scenes. He used the opportunity to help Tom Hanks consolidate his role and integrate into it more deeply.

The crew shot ten scenes that day, from noon to midnight, shooting three days' worth of scenes in one day.

Afterwards, Link asked Tom Hanks how he did it. A few days ago, the Dr. McConaughey he played was rather bland, but suddenly the role became fuller, no longer a character in the script, but a real living person.

Tom Hanks said with a wry smile that he has played more than 80 roles since his debut in the s. Due to his good talent, he can easily perform many roles after reading the script.

No other character has ever been like Dr. McConaughey. After more than a month of careful preparation, he kept getting stuck when he arrived on the set for filming, and it was stuck for five consecutive days. This has never happened before.

This puts him under a lot of pressure.

He can only practice every day, constantly understand the role more deeply and get into the role.

Today, when he was performing, he suddenly had an epiphany and felt that he was Dr. McConaughey. After confirming this, no matter how he performed, he would not go beyond the scope of this role.

After listening to this, Link secretly admired him. He is indeed a top actor with great talent and understanding. Many actors are not qualified to learn such abilities, let alone touch them.

If you tell them this, they will just shake their heads and say it is feudal superstition.

After Tom Hanks found his rhythm, the crew's filming progress also accelerated.

With the help of Dr. McConaughey, Cole gradually overcame his inner fear and began to accept his own weirdness. At the same time, he helped the ghosts in need. While helping ghosts, Cole also became more cheerful. Finally, he confessed to his mother, Mrs. Hill, in the car, and the gap between mother and son was eliminated.

When Dr. McConaughey returned home, he saw the ring that fell on the ground and remembered that he was dead. In the end, he left his wife reluctantly.

In early December, after more than two months of intense filming, "The Sixth Sense" was successfully completed at the Philadelphia Photography Base.

Link took the crew back to Los Angeles to edit the film.
