Chapter 1992 The first shot

Yin Jun doesn't pay much attention to doing things, but he still likes Xiangjiang's model of starting a computer to worship gods.

Because this is the traditional culture of China.

Many people may not know that in ancient times, those large opera teams would have such a ritual of killing pigs and worshiping gods when important dramas were performed or the first scene after the Chinese New Year.

Many older generation filmmakers in Xiangjiang, such as Li Hanxiang and Zhang Ce, were born in the opera industry in the 1920s and 1930s, so this set was brought into film production.

There is no other meaning, it is just to get a good lottery.

After everyone exchanged greetings for a while, Shi Shaoming put out the prepared small braised incense pig, incense candle, etc.

Yin Jun stood in front, and led the crew members to burn incense and pray together, and performed a ritual.

There are many smart people in the United States, such as Marlon Brando and other veteran actors. Before they came, they didn’t just read the script. They all know Yin Jun’s crew and Yin Jun’s hobbies and habits during filming.

The ordinary American actors are even more diligent, afraid that their actions will make Yin Jun unhappy, so everyone is devout enough for this ritual.

According to the rules, you don’t need to shoot more on the first day, or you don’t need to start the computer immediately, but at least you have to take a set of shots.

As an Oscar-level director, Yin Jun did not start the camera with a simple lens, but naturally chose the long shot of middle-aged Forrest Gump sitting on the chair.

That is, the scene of Forrest Gump sitting on a wooden bench wearing a white suit and holding a small suitcase on the movie poster.

This is also a classic.

Tom Hanks was sitting there, everyone was watching to see how he got into the state.

Don't underestimate such a situation. If the absolute protagonist Tom Hanks cannot hold the scene, then his shooting will not be so easy.

Many old actors may set some obstacles for him to know what respect for his predecessors is.

Many young actors will have some opinions about him and will not be convinced.

But if Tom Hanks controls this situation well, it will be much easier to do next. He will already have power in the entire crew, thus gaining respect from everyone and carrying out his own work well.

In fact, the director also has such troubles.

Usually, many big stars are so popular because the director is not under enough control.

Whether the director has a reputation or not is actually not very important.

The director's fame is just a prerequisite. Only when the filming of the movie can people see the director's strength.

The director's strength is the decisive factor in whether he can control a crew and whether a movie can succeed or not.

Even if some directors are not famous enough, they have strong control and understanding of the movie during the filming process, the actors will admire them and honestly film the film.

If the directors are only famous but not strong enough, the actors' performance in the entire movie will be worth seeing.

It would be fine if he was a better actor. He would turn this movie into a movie with his own strong style, which would still be very good.

Jiang Wen's "Looking for Gun" is a classic movie born under such conditions.

If you look back at this movie decades later, you will find that many of the rhythm and shots of "Let the Bullets Fly" are in line with "Looking for Guns".

But if the actors themselves are not very good, and the directors dare not take any effective measures to take charge of the entire crew, the quality of the movie will be a bit embarrassing.

This is how the movies filmed by the Happy Family came about, and then they all became bad movies with their actor style.

Having said so much, Yin Jun’s "Forrest Gump" this time has a lot of Oscar-level actors, but none of them have any idea of ​​provoking the director to gain respect.

This is nonsense.

They would rather test Tom Hanks' quality than go against Yin Jun.

Yin Jun's identity as a director is no longer low.

Three Oscar nominations for Best Director and one Oscar for Best Director, such a director is already a golden sign.

Moreover, Yin Jun is only 23 years old this year and has a great future. It can be said that he can maintain his peak period in the next 40 years, which will be a very terrible accumulation!

Not to mention that Yin Jun is still the author of the original work, the producer, the boss of the film company, the boss of Qilin Cinema, and the richest man in the world.

Even if it is an old man like Ma Long Brando, he would not be stupid enough to provoke Yin Jun's authority.

That's purely a self-destructive death.

Even if Yin Jun doesn't care about him, then Ma Long Brando will not be able to make any mistakes in the future.

People in the United States know what the power of capital is.

Chaplin and Hitchcock, the famous film giants in those days, have told everyone again and again with their own personal experiences that superstars and big directors actually count nothing in front of capital.

If there is something wrong with Marlon Brando in this movie, it really hurts others and is not good for oneself, so why bother?

Moreover, Yin Jun really gave Marlon Brando face this time. After his agent talked to Shirley Lansing, Shirley Lansing put him on the shortlist, and Yin Jun did not even notify the audition and directly announced that he had won the role.

For Marlon Brando, no accident could be that any role he wants, as long as he is of the right age.

The key is that Marlon Brando has high requirements. He needs a total of 3 minutes of roles and needs a $1 million salary to alleviate his financial crisis. This is written by him.

Yin Jun saw it and gave him a pay of 1 million US dollars. This is an attitude of respecting the old and seniors.

Otherwise, with Yin Jun's identity, how about you, Marlon Brando? Does Hollywood still lack old actors? Even if Hollywood lacks Hollywood, I will go to France, Italy, and the UK to look for it. Can't I find a good one?

So Marlon Brando was very smart and gave Yin Jun face from the beginning, and was also telling the actors behind him where they should stand.

In fact, there is no need for his performance like this. Who is the actor who can do it in Hollywood?

Even Colin Hanks and Reese Witherspoon have had several years of acting experience. They all understand many truths, which are not worse than ordinary teenagers.

"Forrest Gump" is destined to become a classic movie. They only perform well, leave their names in this super classic, and use them as their rich qualifications to work, that would be great.

Even if Marlon Brando and Darth, who no longer need to add qualifications to him, it is a benefit to establish a good relationship with Yin Jun through this movie.

...

When filming a movie, the director usually has a warning, either to the protagonist of the movie or to all the actors in the crew.

For example, in "The Pianist" in Czechoslovakia, this is how Yin Jun treats all the actors in the crew.

That scene let them know what it means to treat the film seriously and devotion, so the filming was very smooth and there were also contributions to this.

But "Forrest Gump" doesn't need it.

Because everyone here is full of old teams and very excellent actors, it is enough to let them see their seriousness.

They themselves will know what to do.

Tom Hanks naturally knew that Yin Jun would not deliberately make things difficult for him, but he was still focused on such an extremely important shot, hoping to have a good start.

When the camera swept to Tom Hanks' face, his face was already full of a look of innocentness.

He was wearing a white suit and seemed a little restrained and timid, which just showed the feeling that he was different from ordinary people.

It's not that exaggerated, nor does it make people think that he is mentally retarded, but it just has a scent of indescribable taste.

Then there is the eyes.

Tom Hanks' eyes were very ethereal at this moment. He looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was recalling some fragments, with a smile in his purity.

Forrest Gump is such a person.

He has never been complicated. In this sinister world, he uses the simplest method and the simplest expression to do everything.

From being ridiculed by everyone at the beginning, to running desperately, to becoming a famous rugby player, to running wildly during the war...

All such experiences only give him more experience, but will not make him sophisticated or become a cunning person.

It is basically impossible to have such innocence in your thirties or forties.

But Tom Hanks' expression, look, his subtle movements, and his outfit all at once, erected the image of Forrest Gump.

The image is very full.

Four cameras quietly shot this shot from different angles.

A group of actors, seven or eight meters away from Tom Hanks, were also watching seriously.

"This little guy is really amazing." Marlon Brando praised, "I watched his two previous movies. I thought that they were his best performance now, but I didn't expect that I could go further now!"

"Who said no?" Meryl Streep also nodded, "I am a hardcore fan of Forrest Gump. I have watched it over and over again and again. Forrest Gump has already had a fixed image in my heart. But now I think Tom is Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump is Tom. With just one shot, he has conquered me."

"The role is good, and the performance is better." Darth-Ting Hoffman said seriously.

Daniel Washington, who was standing beside him, was not very old at this time, but he was also attracted by Tom Hanks' wonderful performance.

Originally, he thought that Yin Jun admired black actors very much. Can he perform well in the movie with Yin Jun's appreciation and suppress Tom Hanks, thereby gaining Yin Jun's favor and striving to win his next role as the protagonist of the movie.

Now it seems that I am still thinking too much.

Tom Hanks' current performance is not comparable to that of himself.

If you want to catch up with him, you still need to work harder!

Julian Moore, who had the most rival scenes with Tom Hanks, couldn't help but sigh at this time.

Her unexpected selection had already caused many people to gossip openly and secretly, which put a lot of pressure on her.

Now Tom Hanks's performance of such a god-like thing makes her feel that she will be crushed.

But if she is really crushed, it will be a lifelong shame for her.

As an actress who pursues some career in acting, Julian Moore certainly would not give up.

She clenched her fists and tried her best to pay attention to Tom Hanks, not letting go of the subtle expression on his face.
