Chapter 223 Shooting starts in January, forced to change roles(2/3)
The difference between the two immediately appeared, and at the beginning both of them had a very good expression.
"It's so hard. The Ministry of Human Resources really can joke with me." Emily Blunt sneered, "Come with me!"
Anne Hathaway pursed her lips helplessly, and the shot ended here.
"Emily, you guys come twice and it feels good, but it may be even better next time." Chen Tian did not go to save at all for the sake of saving this time.
Chen Tian only wants the best shots in the film. Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway have done a good job just now, not even worse than Chen Tian’s impression of later generations.
But Chen Tian wanted to see if there was any possibility that it would be better, and if not, there was nothing worth regretting.
In the next two times, Chen Tian felt that it was not obvious at first sight and the first time. He didn't feel better after the third time.
The first scene is completed, and the following is the scene where two people walk and talk while walking in the corridor. However, most of them come from Emily Blunt.
This line from Emily Blunt is very long, and Chen Tian plans to shoot it separately.
However, Emily and Anne Hathaway both believe that coherent shooting is better, and Tim Suschette also agreed to one shot.
Here, Tim Suschette needs to carry the camera himself and give close-ups in front of the two of them at all times.
This requires testing Tim Suschet's balance ability. Although sitting on the slide instead of hand-carrying, Tim Suschet believes that this will make you find the feeling you want at any time.
It can be adjusted at any time according to the actors' expressions, and Chen Tian did not refuse Tim Suschette's thoughts.
Tim Suschette, who has worked together many times, is now Chen Tian’s hardcore team. Although the filming of recent films is not very complicated, it still touched many people.
But Tim Suschette, as he said at the beginning, will follow Chen Tian in the future.
Before the filming of this film started, Tim Suschette was worried that Chen Tian would take him away at first, after all, it was completely different from before.
This time it is a big production, and the theme is closely related to fashion.
As a result, Chen Tian still handed over the task to him, which moved him very much.
However, it also brought a lot of pressure to him. With Chen Tian's help, he studied photographer's storyboard scripts all day long in order to best present the effect of the film.
For the first time, Emily and Anne Hathaway were a little uncomfortable with Tim Suschette standing directly in front of them and then backed back a little bit.
The second time was because Tim Suschette swayed the camera a little halfway through the scene. The editing of the camera was only ten seconds, but it took a full twenty minutes to shoot and NG ten times before it was finally completed.
A camera is not a light guy. You can imagine how difficult it is to carry the camera backwards for twenty minutes, and you still need to maintain balance and pay attention to adjusting yourself as the steps of the two actors.
Fortunately, the next shot doesn't need to be like this, and the first day's shooting went smoothly.
The only thing that was not going well was Chen Tian because after Anne Hathaway had played NG with Meryl Streep for as many as 10 times, Chen Tian felt that Anne Hathaway's acting skills had changed.
Emily Blunt is the same, which makes him want Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt to reshoot the previous scenes. Because Chen Tian thinks that the shooting effect of them should be better.
Although David Frankel felt it was not necessary, the parties involved, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, agreed to such a request.
Tim Suschette also agreed to reshoot, but Meryl Streep's suggestion made Chen Tian temporarily dispel this idea.
"Justin, if Anne improves every minute compared to the previous minute, then should she just overturn everything in front? Then reshoot it and continue like this again and again?
I don't think any director has done this. If I need to reshoot it, I think there is a difference in the final editing, but it is not now."
Meryl Streep gave Chen Tian a big wake-up call. Chen Tian then realized that he cared too much.
More than every film in the past, it is not just an investment that may cost more than 40 million yuan, but also a real control of the overall situation for the first time.
The biggest film in the past was "The Little Sunshine Beauty" and "The Heart Fallen" which ended a month ago, but compared with this film, both actors and props are much different.
Moreover, because this script was snatched from Fox, all this led to almost absurd ideas.
Meryl Streep's suggestion is just a common practice for most directors, but Chen Tian himself forgot.
If Meryl Streep hadn't dared to make suggestions, it would be enough to give suggestions. Chen Tian probably would have made an imagination mistake this time and delayed most of the efforts of everyone in the crew.
"David. Sorry, I didn't target you on purpose, it's just that I care too much, so I couldn't listen to your suggestions.
I won't make such a stupid mistake below, I hope you don't mind."
David Francole looked at Chen Tian beside him and laughed: "Justin, I won't mind. I am also a director myself, and I know that directors always have some strange ideas on the set.
My assistant once gave me some good advice, but at that time I thought to myself, ‘Go to him - fucking shit advice’, I had this experience.
So I won't have any ideas, actually you've done it very well today. You tell me with facts that the title of Miracle Director is real."
"Thank God, otherwise I will fall asleep with anxiety. We will have a drink after the filming is over, and I will treat you!" Chen Tian said with a smile.
David Francole nodded: "Of course, although I am from New York, you can earn more than I do."
The bus carrying crew members soon arrived at the hotel, and the two buses were so stormy that they looked particularly eye-catching.
Under the leadership of the security guard, the entire crew returned to the hotel.
If you want to have a meal, you can go to the restaurant yourself and serve it 24 hours a day.
The filming in New York is getting smoother and smoother, and there are basically no major problems.
Scarlett also took the time to visit the crew once, and nearly a month and a half passed without realizing it.
The scenes in New York are left with Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, and her boyfriend, and friends. News of the crew of "The Queen of Prada" appears from time to time in the newspaper.
Although Scarlett is used to the news in the newspaper, he still enjoys it.
More importantly, she has not seen any scandals about Chen Tianyi in the past month and a half. Although she doesn't care, she still has some grudges towards Anne Hathaway in her heart.
Even a week ago, the newspaper reported that Natalie Portman visited the crew of "The Queen of Prada" in New York and also had a meal with Chen Tian.
In her subconscious, although Natalie Portman was excellent, she was far less powerful than Anne Hathaway threatened.
Hollywood has never lacked the record of mistresses, especially for celebrities who are far apart, which gives such opportunities.
Open today's "New York Times" Scarlett Johnson was shocked by the subtitle in the lower left corner of the homepage of the entertainment version - "Accident, Justin Chen's crew may be postponed".
"What accident?" Scarlett immediately turned to the report page. The person who had the accident happened was that Grant, who played Anne Hathaway's boyfriend in the play, caused a waist problem while filming the crew with Anne Hathaway's scenes.
After the hospital, it was confirmed that the waist was required to undergo minor surgery and then rest for a month.
Chen Tian often calls her. She also knows that the crew of "The Queen of Prada" has been about a month since the filming was completed.
Although Grant plays Anne Hathaway's boyfriend in the play, he is actually a male vase character.
This role is not very important to the film. So Chen Tian completely handed over to the Actors Union when casting.
When Chen Tian finally saw this candidate, he was very satisfied. Although the other party was just a low-ranking actor, he looked pretty good and had rich filming experience.
In fact, just as Scarlett saw the report, Grant only joined the crew the day before yesterday. Because he didn't have many scenes, his salary was calculated on a daily basis.
Unexpectedly, after filming yesterday morning, the scene at night was that he hugged Anne Hathaway and circled around the streets.
The two of them said sexually suggestive words, but suddenly they fell to the ground.
Anne Hathaway also broke her elbow a little, but most of it was pressing on Grant.
The doctor on Chen Tian’s crew is Bruce Lee, who was sent to the ward by Jennifer Lawrence when he fainted on the side of the road.
After the filming of Kollo Moretz's scene in Chen Tian's "Falling in Heart", Kollo's brother accidentally revealed to the media that Kollo became ill as soon as he arrived in Park City.
What Chen Tian didn't expect was that Bruce Li actually contacted him. Chen Tian thought that in the future, if some accidents occurred, he would always need to be equipped with a simple medical staff.
Sometimes, there may be major accidents before waiting for the ambulance to arrive in five minutes, and the crew will often be equipped with such personnel.
Chen Tian thought of Bruce Lee when he called him not long ago to ask him if he needed an actor, and the two met like this.
After learning about Bruce Lee's medical skills are still very trustworthy. However, due to the skin color, he did not do well and his salary was not high.
So Chen Tian directly gave him an extra annual salary when he was a doctor and directly asked him to follow the crew in the future, which led to Bruce Li following the crew.
However, after the examination, Bruce Lee estimated that it might be a serious strain on his waist muscles, and because he was on the road during the shooting, he could not avoid pedestrians.
When the ambulance arrived, the news had long been exposed by reporters.
While Scarlett was reading the newspaper, Chen Tian came to the hospital to visit Grant.
Although Grant only settled according to daily salary, he was also one of the employees and signed some contracts. Needless to say, the key is that he or she will either find someone to take over or wait for Grant to heal his injury.
Chen Tian thought about it for a long time last night. It will be a month later when Grant's injury is healed.
The scenes of Grant's filming have just begun. If he changes roles now, it would be better than waiting for the entire crew for a month.
"Grant. Have a good rest, you don't need to worry about the rest."
"Director Justin, I'm really sorry." Grant didn't want to give up this opportunity to emerge from nearly a thousand people, but he also knew that the entire crew could not wait for him alone, and he basically guessed Chen Tian's thoughts.
When Chen Tian said it, Grant was still very sad. Although he tried his best to control it, Chen Tian could still feel it.
Chen Tian left Grant a lot of expenses such as enough medical expenses and mental health, loss of work, and also hired a private nurse to take care of him until he was fully recovered.
Due to the accident last night, the crew took a day off today.
No one expected the accident, but Chen Tian had to accept it. While accepting it, he now needed to find someone to replace Grant's role.
"Oh, Carey, you know I'm in trouble. The last time you cast, someone you thought was pretty good, can you let them go directly to New York?
I bear all the costs, you should know that I am in a big trouble." Chen Tian, who was standing at the window, said to the phone.
On the other end of the phone, he met at the casting of the actors' union when filming "The Little Beauty of Sunshine". Gradually, the two became old friends.
Every time Chen Tian needs an actor, he always asks Carey Robin for help.
Because Chen Tian was filming fast, he filmed several movies in less than a year, which made his role in the Actors Union much heavier than before.
