"I just told my assistant to call my favorite customer, and you came..." Walking on the streets of Times Square, the man in a light gray suit and pink shirt said while walking with his cell phone.

Although she was wearing sunglasses, her frivolous look was still very conspicuous. She even whistled when she passed by a blonde girl: "Hey, great beauty."

Of course, he still didn't forget to have a client on the phone: "This is great. We are looking for time to help you hold a premiere party. But now there is a small problem, this will be a collision with the other two premieres and a fundraising event, and all the venues are booked if we change the date..."

Before he finished speaking, he started to curse, but the man didn't care at all. Obviously, he had experienced many of these scenes: "Hey, you have to reason, don't you? Hey? Hey, the signal is not very clear..."

Then, he hung up the phone and didn't care at all. It seemed that he often played this trick.

"Cut!" The director stopped at this time, but it was not the reason for NG.

"Very good, Sean, keep your current state, let's go again from a different angle." Schumacher encouraged.

Hearing this, Sean couldn't help but feel a little excited. He was a little nervous. After preparing for more than a month, he had memorized the script so well that he could not be more familiar with it. If he couldn't start a good start, it would be a bit of a failure. Fortunately, from the beginning to now, more than ten shots have basically performed well, and there are very few NGs. Those who have been filming repeatedly are the director's requirements.

However, as the shooting continues, the pressure on his body will only become heavier and heavier. Schumacher did not shoot like an ordinary movie, but let the camera follow the development of the script. In general movies, when they are produced, they will complete the shots of one scene before they will be transferred to the next scene. However, most of the scenes in the movie "Sniper Phone Booth" are in the same place, and there are basically not many other scenes, so the director and producers chose to follow the script to shoot.

"This happens. The whole process of the hero is only seventy or eighty minutes, which is about the same time as a movie. This is also a highlight. If you hype it up with the shooting, many viewers will definitely feel curious." Zach revealed such a message in his words.

That's right, you know, the film was still unknown when it was preparing, but it received a lot of attention as soon as it started filming. Who asked the crew to apply for shooting on Fifth Street in the city center? Although it is not very prosperous, there are traffic and people everywhere around it. It is impossible to keep it secret, so on the first day, a reporter appeared on the set.

This is also the reason why Frederick is happy. After a few months, Sean's name and his works finally appeared in the media again. Although it was on the third and fourth pages, and the content was somewhat vague, it finally came to the public. It is better to have news than to have no news. Moreover, with the filming of "Sniper Phone Booth", there will always be media follow-ups. As the male lead, Sean must appear in the newspaper many times.

Thinking of this, it was quite cost-effective to take on this movie at the beginning. It would be great if "Perfect Thieves" could have provoked such a problem.

Sean didn't have time to think so much. Once he was involved in the filming, he began to do his best. Except for dating Naomi and Jordanna on weekends or dealing with Jennifer, he was ignored. He even threw the progress of "My Grand Greek Wedding" that he had been paying attention to - didn't he want to open a restaurant? Then take this opportunity to hone himself.

"Cut, you're too hard, Sean."

"No, give me more fear! Subtle and restrained fear!"

"You should do this, and then do this again. You are an actor, don't always let me demonstrate to you!"

Schumacher is a very capable director. He has worked with big names such as Nicholas Cage, George Clooney, Fang Kemer, and other big names. He is very good at training actors. He can always discover Sean's problems at the first time, but he also gives him as much room to play as possible, just like the above sentence: You are an actor, and I am always asked to demonstrate to you.

Although when he was in a bad mood, a simple shot had to be shot back and forth more than ten times, Sean didn't care. He liked the feeling now. This is exactly what he has been pursuing since starring in "Detective Hallucination". It can not only allow himself to fully play, but also have a director who is good at controlling and can hold himself back so that he will not be able to mess around at will.

Moreover, the filming method of the movie also gave him great convenience, and he could gradually experience the character's feelings, from the beginning of being cynical, to being trapped in a telephone booth by a perverted killer, to seeking help without success, and finally had to cry in full view of everyone, and his heart was very ups and downs.

For an actor, what kind of role is more suitable for practicing acting than this? Once Sean was completely involved in the role, his whole body seemed to float up, as if it did not exist in the body. But his body was still moving and his lines never stopped, as if he was split, looking at himself completely from a higher level, quite a bit? What Brecht advocated is to integrate into the role and then transcend and keep a distance to control it.

This situation only happened once a week after the filming started. The plot at that time was that after the sniper intimidated the male lead, he called his little lover Pan again. The male lead who was worried that he would be exposed was immediately anxious and panicked, but at the same time he suppressed his inability to fully express himself, and his tone became softer, further encouraging the other party's arrogance.

In the three or four scenes before this, Sean didn't find any feeling of shooting, and although the director didn't say anything, his face was a little bad. So after spending several minutes of brewing, Sean, who was in the battle again, unexpectedly achieved this unexplainable feeling, and the effect displayed also made Schumacher relax.

However, when he asked the director for advice and wanted to consolidate this feeling, he was unexpectedly rejected.

"I can't help you with this, Sean, you have to experience it yourself," Schumacher said. "I agree very much with what your teacher said. It's easy to say acting and complex, it's an empirical science. Everyone is different, so everyone's experience is also different for the same thing. Many times, being good at observing and summarizing is more important than talent. You do a good job of doing a good job. Sean, frankly speaking, although I agree to you as the male lead, I still have some doubts in my heart. Your outstanding performance has dispelled my doubts and hope you can continue."

Well, that's true. Being good at observing and summarizing is the way for actors to make progress. The main reason why actors from college are ahead of the average level than actors who have entered the industry halfway through the industry is that after systematic learning, they know how to effectively observe and summarize.

Therefore, many people who are determined to devote themselves to the acting career, as well as actors with minor achievements from informal systems, will go to the performance training class to receive a certain degree of training. Of course, not all actors will do this. Many people think it doesn’t matter if they take the idol route. As long as they master the methods, the pace of progress will naturally be much greater.

Therefore, after accepting John Harrington's private directing, Sean, who quickly mastered him, did not go to any performance training class to join in the fun, but chose to hone himself by playing more challenging roles. So he followed up with the invitation to "Detective Hallucination" and then took a fancy to the leading actor of "Sniper Telephone Booth".

In fact, Director Schumacher is pretty good in private. Perhaps it is because his age has some of his own pride and reserve, just like the tofu Ian McKellen in "Lord of the Rings". If you don't explain it, you can't feel the difference between him and heterosexuality when you talk.

So during the filming, Sean not only asked questions, but also talked to him about many topics, such as his works.

"In fact, "Batman and Robin" is generally pretty good. As a popcorn movie, it has big names, ups and downs, dazzling technology and... a pretty sharp fight. But the problem is that at that time, Batman's potential had been discovered, and the audience was tired of seeing this superhero on the screen. Everything has become a routine, just like Superman did at the time.

If you make a big change, it may not be possible to rejuvenate this series, but Warner dare not gamble, let alone you as a director. Therefore, the failure of "Batman and Robin" is not your failure, but the failure of the entire series." Sean commented after talking about the Batman series that was rated as the most failed.

"But, Batman Forever is really great, in every aspect. I remember that among my friends, some people watched it five or six times, and some people were very obsessed with Nicole Kidman," he then smiled.

Schumacher directed two Batman movies for Warner in the 1990s, "Batman Forever" in 1995 and "Batman and Robin" in 1997 were also big stars and big productions. The former invested 100 million, including Kimer, Nicole Kidman, Tommy Lee Jones and Kim Carrey; the latter invested 120 million, including George Clooney, Uma Thurman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger - Schwarzenegger also played the villain for the first time - but the final result was completely opposite.

The former received unanimous praise and was once called the most exquisite part of the Batman series by many people. Critics voted many praises to it. However, the latter became the worst-known part of the entire series. Not only did it significantly affect the box office, but even the starring George Clooney admitted in public that it was a wrong decision to take over the role of Batman.

The two works with completely different evaluations are from the same director. It would be strange if Schumacher was not depressed.
