174. Chapter 174 Ten Days
In the next week, Sean's efficiency has improved, and the progress of "Sniper Telephone Booth" has also accelerated a lot again. It was originally expected to take two weeks to complete the shooting, but now it seems that it only takes 12 days or even shorter - but it is hard to say that Sean's good condition is not very stable, sometimes very fast, sometimes very slow, as for why this is the case...
"Spray some water on his face, I need him to look sweaty." As the director ordered, a dressing room immediately came over with a watering can and became busy on Sean's face.
"I won't say more, Sean, if you complete these last few scenes, the movie will almost be closed." Schumacher said at this time, "Try harder, if this happens, everyone will be relieved, aren't they?"
Suddenly, several eager gazes shot on Sean's face. The makeup artist beside him, the props not far away, and the venue assistant who had just passed by here, were all like this.
"I'll do my best." Sean said, who was calm and composed on the surface, and at the same time took a breath in his heart.
That damn old man, he was obviously squeezing everyone, but now he pushed me on the head... It seems that if the shooting is delayed today and the mirror will be sealed tomorrow, although these guys will not eat them alive, they will definitely use various unexpected ways to look good to themselves. Damn it!
Sean couldn't help but not complain. The director and producer decided to use the "French time" method to shoot the movie. Why didn't he join forces to ask them for a break, but hoped that he could complete it in a short time? Anyway, there was only the last one left, and there was no difference between shooting a movie in eleven days and shooting a movie in four days.
The so-called "French time" shooting method refers to a shooting technology that originated in France. Simply put, it is to give up lunch break and meal time. Once the filming is turned on every day, the shooting will not stop until after get off work. Lunch and rest? Find time by yourself, such as finding a corner where you don't have your own scenes to fill your stomach with a few burgers or take a nap. Once it's your turn, you have to go into battle quickly.
Of course, the salary of employees is definitely higher than that of ordinary crew members, but overall, it is still very time-saving and money-saving, and it also makes the shooting appear more compact.
"This not only speeds up the team's work efficiency, but also produces an excellent movie. The tension of each actor during the performance will be obvious. Everyone looks like they have eaten a large plate of macaroni!" This is what Schumacher encourages everyone when he starts up.
However... if the Italian macaroni tasted this way, Sean would definitely not taste it at all. Not only would he be as tired as a dog every day, but he would even be rushing to deal with lunch. Don't you know that eating whole every day would be bad for your stomach? It's too bad. Before that, even the nervous shooting was better than now. Before, the shooting would be in a bad state in the middle of the shooting. In addition to feeling aggrieved too deeply, it has nothing to do with this shooting method.
Similarly, because of this, when these makeup artists, props, and venue assistants hear that the shooting is about to end, they will turn their hopeful eyes to Sean.
It's really a headache. The state is not the only way to have it, and my role has always been the heaviest. I have been trying to shoot it all over the time. If there weren't any other shots to shoot, he could take the opportunity to rest. The director also occasionally squeezed out more rest time for him because of his efforts, just like last time, and... I'm afraid it was over a few days ago.
But then again, the effect of this shooting method is indeed very good. He has followed Schumacher to watch it behind the monitor many times. Although the picture is rough, it is indeed very tense. Moreover, the shooting order is based on the script, and the scene does not change much. I have to say that this kind of movie with low cost is very suitable for the shooting method of "French Time".
"I'll do my best." Sean repeated this again.
"Don't say that, everyone is looking forward to your performance." The director came over and laughed. It's hard for him, an old man in his sixties, to smile so... obscenely.
"Look at that side." He then said this again.
Following his gaze, Sean noticed Katie Helms among the extras at first sight. She was talking to several people with a smile, and then quickly noticed his gaze, then waved generously.
OK OK OK... Sean resisted the urge to roll his eyes. No matter how he defended himself now, as long as Katie is here, his condition will be good. As long as he can chat with Katie a few times and laugh a few times every day, the unhappiness accumulated before will dissipate, so he will be quickly invested in the shooting again. For some reason, this girl who often seems a little simple and confused is easy to infect him.
In this case, even if there is nothing between each other, no one around will believe it. What's more, Sean has asked her for dinner twice and has already started to have other thoughts.
Then we will complete it in one go. Sean muttered this way, and as the makeup artist handled his face, he immediately walked to the already ragged prop phone booth.
There is no need to say more about what happened afterwards. With Sean's insistence, the final part of the movie was finally completed. It took only ten days from the beginning to now - to be exact, it was more than nine days and four hours, which was quite fast. When Schumacher announced the end, there were cheers on the set, and then there were ghosts roars and ghosts. Some people wearing hats threw the hats into the sky, as if they had just won a big victory, which attracted people outside to look at each other.
Sean did not cheer with him. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to the other side despite his lack of makeup.
"Hey, beautiful girl, are you free tonight?" He came to Katie and sent an invitation.
Katie, who was still cheering with others, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay."
She answered very readily, and then immediately added: "I don't like Marseille fish soup."
Speaking of this, the girl puffed her cheeks, as if she was not very satisfied with the French dinner that night. Then she realized something and turned her head to the side, glanced at Sean from time to time, as if she was a little shy.
"No problem, let's try macaroni. Didn't Joe always say that this shooting is like eating a large plate of macaroni?" Sean said with a smile. "And I know that an Italian restaurant has made a great ice cream."
Katie is a little greedy cat. Sean was aware of this when filming "Detective Hallucination", and now she is further confirmed. She likes to eat very much, especially sweets, but like many women, she cares about her figure, so she is very picky when she doesn't eat much.
For example, the Marseille fish soup that I had eaten before was intertwined with three flavors of sweet and sour, sweet and salty, which was very savory, but Katie, who prefers one taste to the extreme, doesn't like it very much.
However, as long as you know her preferences, many things will be much easier.
"It's really great!" Katie said happily after tasting the ice cream for the after-meal dessert.
Then, she looked around and asked in surprise: "The shop here is not big at all and has no reputation. How did you find it?"
"Looking more about food magazines, you will find many unknown but distinctive restaurants. Then take some time to taste them occasionally - don't order big meals, many times snacks can better show the chef's skills. Then, you will find many distinctive restaurants. They may not be as good as famous restaurants in many places, and may even be backward in all aspects, but have their own flavor." Sean talked happily.
He has just left the crew of "Sniper Telephone Booth" and has not completely separated from the role, so he seems very mature, but at the same time he has a bit of ruffian frivolity and a different charm.
After dinner, the two walked together on the street for a long time and went to watch a movie on Sean's suggestion. Although it was November soon and a new round of popular schedules was coming, the movies that were released are still low-cost. Sean originally proposed to watch the director's edited version of "The Exorcist", but Katie seemed to see something, and rejected the proposal with a smile and chose the movie "Wish of Gods and Ghosts".
This is a very interesting movie. A timid little clerk encountered a gorgeous devil when he failed to confess and was at the most depressed moment of his life. The devil wanted his soul and promised to fulfill seven wishes at the same time. The little clerk agreed, and the wish he made was indeed realized, but there were some serious problems every time.
For example, what he wanted was to become a rich man who married his dream lover. So when he woke up, he became a South American mogul who slept with his dream lover and spoke Spanish. However, at the same time, he was also a big drug lord, so he soon began to be chased and made a mess.
In short, although he became a rock star and a basketball star, he would not have been enjoyed for long and would start to be unlucky. Seven wishes were presented at once, and they could make people laugh every time.
The male protagonist is Brandon Fraser, who became popular through "Tarzan of the Apes" and "Mummy", and the female protagonist is British actress Elizabeth Hurley. The director is very good at selecting people. Elizabeth is wearing a sexy red dress, lying on the hood of the car, looking very sexy and seductive, and it complements Fraser's silly appearance.
Although, it's good to use for dates
"Thank you for sending me back, Sean." The young girl said after sending Katie back to the door of her apartment.
"This is what I should have done." Sean smiled slightly, but had no intention of leaving.
"This night was a pleasant one, really." Katie didn't say much, just lowered her head and looked elsewhere, constantly playing with the keys in her hand.
