195. Chapter 195 Filming in Casino
As time comes on February 22, Sean, who completed the "Fast and Furious" training and had a good rest, finally went to the crew of "Eleven Arhats" which had already started filming on February 10, located in Lasvi
Gas, the famous Ballet Casino or Ballet Hotel.
"Can we really shoot in the casino?" Sean looked at the hotel around him and asked the people next to him curiously.
In Las Vegas, slot machines, airports, restaurants, hotels, and there is no distinction between hotels and casinos. Any hotel with a small scale will have various gambling services inside. Hotels generally refuse to use TV or movie crews.
When shooting internally, the Gambling Industry Group believes that when customers see their frustrated appearance because they lose money, they will have adverse effects on their business, so this regulation is made.
So, for a long time, most of the time, the situation in the casino in TV movies was set up in the studio to shoot the scene. Unexpectedly, Soderbergh actually pulled the crew to the famous Ballet Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.
, it was really surprising.
"Steven and the owner of the Palace Palace are friends, so he borrowed this place to shoot," Brad Pitt, who was dressed up in a fancy way, explained to him, "even so, the crew's shooting plan is still being worked in the casino.
The staff refused several times and had to ask the boss to give special approval."
He sighed again, "Even if we have permission to close the entrance to the valet parking, there are music fountains, gardens and even VIP areas, but it is still not enough to take panoramic views, so we can only take a look at it.
.”
Is this nonsense? Sean wants to roll his eyes in his heart and close the valet parking entrance. Don’t you want the guests to park by themselves? Not to mention the VIP area, no wonder the shooting plan cannot be passed. You know, Baile Palace
However, one of the most famous hotels in Las Vegas is basically named with MGM and Venetians. The music fountain outside is also one of the famous scenery of the casino. If you are delayed for a few days, the loss will definitely be significant.
Of course, on the surface, he still asked in a concerned tone: "Will this delay the shooting?"
"It doesn't matter, it really won't work. Just build a set in the studio. The audience can't see it anyway, right?" Pete shrugged indifferently.
Well, that's true, even if the camera in the casino can't see the view outside at all - it's true - but as long as the camera in front is familiar to people, you can tell at a glance that it belongs to Las Vegas.
The viewer will naturally think that this is the casino in Las Vegas, and the function of montage is reflected in this.
However, I thought "Eleven Arhats" could become the first movie to be filmed inside the casino, but it still didn't work... But then again, even if you take a few shots like this, you can still shoot inside the casino during promotion.
Is it a sign? Anyway, the boss and the director are friends, so would they deliberately expose it? Besides, according to the script, the movie is also a promotion in the casino, which is nothing.
"Shaan, are you here?" Soderberg, who had assigned tasks to his assistants as Shaun was using his imagination, walked over.
"Just arrived, my assistant went to put my luggage, I'll come to the set first." Sean replied with a smile, "By the way, congratulations, Steven, both of the films last year were nominated for Best Oscars,
There are also two best directors, and you are the best director this year."
"Thank you, the award ceremony has not arrived yet." Although Soderbergh waved his hand, the pride between his eyebrows was still clearly visible.
"There are not many people nominated two best directors in the history of the Oscars at the same time. The film school should give you a little golden man," Sean said seriously.
"Okay OK, but I won't let you go just because you flatter me," Soderbergh laughed. "Since you're here, hurry up and change your clothes. We're going to let the SWAT team enter the field.
Now.”
The so-called special police team is the way the thieves finally swept away the casino money. It is a very interesting idea. As long as the previous suspense is laid out enough, the audience will definitely be shocked.
"You're really good at saving money, Steven." Sean smiled and went to the locker room.
The special police were all wearing fully sealed uniforms, and according to the description of the crew, there were only Pitt and others who wanted to show up in the special police uniforms, and Sean was not among them, so they could hand over the role to the extra.
OK, it doesn't matter. Sean is already very good at this role. He is just a thief who wants to have a big fight with top experts, but at the same time lacks confidence, but can play a big role at critical moments. Although he has taken it
A lot of things have happened to the role now, and he has received racing training for a while, but his analysis of the role has never been solved. In addition, he has been tempered by "Detective Hallucinations" and "Sniper Phone Booth", and his personal acting skills are
There is also improvement, as long as Soderbergh can control him, there will be no problem at all.
Besides, "Eleven Arhat" does not require high acting skills. Although it is definitely a little stronger than "Fast and Furious", it is not enough to make him do his best, so there is no need to worry too much.
As expected, the next few days were very easy to shoot, and Sean spent most of them in one go, even if there was NG, they were limited to single digits. Then, based on his previous meeting, he and
Most of the actors in the Thieves Group have become familiar with each other. When there is no need to shoot, they will occasionally go to the casino to play a few games. As for Sean's age problem...
"Don't be so serious. This is the first time I have come to Las Vegas. It's too bad to leave without taking a few bets." Sean smiled and blinked at Sanders who was persuading him, "Don't
Worry, as long as you follow them, no one will notice this, and you also know that not all laws can be implemented 100%.
"Okay, you only have two months anyway." Sanders shrugged at least helplessly, and then he took him to gamble for two.
The difficulty increased slightly a few days later. Sean and Andy Garcia, who plays the casino owner Benedict, have a rivalry scene. He plays the thief Linus, who wants to pretend to be a casino investigator, like Garcia reveals it in the casino
Frank, played by Bernie Mark, who works, is a fraud who cannot work in a casino. Then, because of the discrimination of skin color, he took the opportunity to steal the paper of the password written on Garcia while hiding.
"Do you know Hall? Have you worked together?" Garcia, who was wearing a suit and a big back, asked calmly.
Sean thought for a few seconds, looking like he was looking for the name in his mind, and then replied uncertainly: "Well... he seemed to die last year."
"Cut!" Soderbergh stopped decisively, "Your hesitation is too long, Sean, this will only make the other party doubt you, be more decisive."
"When I was decisive just now, you asked me to lack hesitation." Sean said a little annoyed.
"You were too decisive just now, and it would easily cause such suspicion. You must find a balance between hesitation and decisiveness." Soderberg said.
"How come this sounds so familiar, if I remember correctly..." Sean picked up his arm, "That's what I suggested at the beginning, didn't I?"
"Yes, but I need to observe your performance in detail before deciding which method is appropriate." Soderbergh replied with a smile.
"Okay," Sean sighed, then looked at him with thoughts, "Are you sure the cameras were on when you shot the previous few times? Are you not teasing me?"
"How could that be?" Soderbergh laughed. "If you are really worried, come and take a look at the monitor and see how you performed before."
Sean really went over to see it. It was not that he was seriously ill, but that Soderbergh liked to play too much - to be precise, everyone liked to play. He often joked in some harmless places, such as after calling the start, three
The four-time stop, and then the shocking performances were performed. In fact, the camera was not turned on at all. Or someone forgot the lines in front of the camera, so he started to say some rash lines in the middle, allowing the show to
The person looked confused for no reason, so the people around him laughed.
Although the pranks are very sensible, they don't affect the shooting much, and they won't make others angry, being teased too much is not a pleasant thing. Sean has been teased two or three times in four days, and he has also teased him.
I have been through others several times, so I have to be careful.
Soon, this scene was completed with a slightly difficult scene so far. Sean was quite regretful. He liked the later part, and he used skin color discrimination to steal passwords and paper.
The plot, but unfortunately, I have to wait to go back and shoot it in the studio.
"Do you really like that story, or do you want to say a certain line?" Bernie Mark asked him jokingly.
"Don't be wronged me, Bernie, you know, I love you," Sean said with a smile, "confessing love", and then glanced at Don Chandell, "Of course, I love Don too, his name and mine,
Pronunciation like last name.”
"Shut up, Sean." Chandel gave him a middle finger directly.
"It's great, it looks like you all look very good." After today's shooting was about the same, George Clooney, who had been missing for a long time, appeared in front of everyone.
Before Sean came, he went to the East Coast with another group of people. Some of the scenery here were not easy to shoot because of some concerns. Soderbergh found a hotel in another casino, Atlantic City, New Jersey, to shoot.
There are not many scenes, only Clooney is needed, so he stayed there for three or four days and is only back now.
Coincidentally, another person came to the crew to report at this time. As soon as Clooney finished speaking, a female voice rang: "Aren't you going to give me an explanation? George, you cheated me for $20.
come over."
