337. Chapter 337 Power on
"Hurry up and pull the plane over. This is within the viewing range. Putting it here will hinder the shooting!"
"Hurry up and call some people over. The equipment on the beach needs to be rearranged. Which idiot is responsible!"
"Damn, that's a prop camera, not a camera to be used, can't you tell the difference?"
On the beach of Long Beach, west of Los Angeles, countless people are busy going back and forth, because Martin Scorsese's new work "The Aviator" is about to start filming here.
"I won't go into details anymore. Spruce Goose took off from here almost 60 years ago, so I think it's very suitable to shoot the first scene here." Outside the busy studio, the old Italian man said so friendly.
Today's hero and heroine said.
Sean nodded and said he understood. He had always found it strange before. According to the arrangements given by the crew, most of the real-life shooting locations were around Los Angeles. Long Beach, Chinese Theater, Woodland Hills Golf Course, etc., or St. Bernard
The farthest cities around Dino and San Diego should be Montreal and Quebec in Canada. There is no doubt that this is to take advantage of the tax-free policy.
Since there are so many places to choose from, why did it have to be shot in Long Beach? Now after listening to Scorsese's explanation, I think it's acceptable - well, in fact, he felt it was inappropriate because of another thing.
.
"You are also people who have worked together several times, so there should be no problem, right?" The old man said this, looking at the two people in front of him and asked in a joking tone.
"Of course, Sean is a very good actor." Kate spoke first, her tone was light and just right, giving people the feeling that she had some friendship with him, but not a deep one.
"Yes, Kate is also very good." In this case, Sean naturally cooperated fully.
"Then you guys get ready. I'll go over and take a look. I'll be ready to start at any time." Scorsese said and left.
After he walked away, Sean asked softly: "You seem to have lost weight. What bad thing happened to you recently?"
Although there was concern in his tone, his eyes were looking away, looking careless to avoid being noticed.
"The only thing that's terrible is that I have to play a couple with you in this movie," Kate said in the same tone, reaching between them to brush her hair.
Although she said this, a smile appeared on Sean's lips involuntarily, and the cast list was not kept secret. If she really didn't want to play with her, she would have quit long ago, so how could she appear here?
Sean still wanted to say something, but Kate gave him a warning look, and then said in a voice that many people could hear: "Let's get started, Sean, this scene is very simple, it should be very easy for you."
Simple, right?"
"Of course, Kate." Sean smiled bitterly.
This is why he felt it was inappropriate. The plot here is that Hughes had already met Hepburn through Grant, but Hepburn had always been lukewarm to him, so Hughes flew to her set to invite her.
There is no doubt that this method of invitation is very classy, but in this way, Sean will have to play with Kate from the beginning, which makes him feel caught off guard.
It's not that Sean doesn't want to play with Kate. In fact, he wants to do it very much. How long has it been since he looked at Kate passionately in public?
What's more, this is the first time the two have acted together in a movie after establishing that tangled and strange relationship. Therefore, according to Sean's idea, he should film a separate scene first, and then wait until he is in a good mood.
Carry on the plot of Hughes and Hepburn.
In this way, firstly, it allows him to integrate his emotions into the role, so that experienced people will not see any flaws; secondly, it can give Kate a surprise and let her see her own efforts. If she can overwhelm the opponent in the performance,
That's even better.
Unfortunately, Sean couldn't influence Scorsese's thoughts, so he had to face this situation from the beginning.
Okay, it doesn't matter, it's just a few scenes. According to the plot, after Hepburn agreed to Hughes, the two went to play golf immediately, and they had to go to Woodland Hills Golf Course to shoot. And the golfing scenes there were
Quite a few, and there is also a scene in which Hughes teaches Hepburn to fly a plane and then lands on the field, so Scorsese put it at the back. Currently, this is the only place where he has to co-star with Kate.
Even so, this is still not an easy task. After all, Sean has to restrain his emotions to prevent others from seeing anything out of him, and he also needs to show his emotions for the performance. How to handle it becomes something that needs to be careful.
"Okay, do it again like you just did, but don't make the character look like a love-struck guy like you did in the beginning." Scorsese shouted, waving his arms.
Finally, during the seven or eight shootings, although there were many things that were not as expected, there were no major mistakes.
"Don't take it too seriously, just do what you usually do." Kate maintained her condition very well, and even took the time to remind him. Although she said it in front of everyone, it didn't make any difference to Sean's ears.
mean.
And he also noticed that Kate's knuckles were clenched tightly during several scenes during the filming. Obviously, under her calm appearance, her inner ups and downs were not much less than his, which made him somewhat happy.
.
However, that’s it for now. There are very few scenes of Kate in Long Beach. Apart from the scenes with Sean, there is basically nothing else. Sean has relatively more scenes, and Scorsese has to shoot some more.
The reporter focused on the shot of the Spruce Goose taking off, so Kate took two days to complete her part and then left, while Sean stayed here for almost four days.
After that, most of the shots were shot in the studio, and a series of outdoor scenes such as golf courses, San Diego, and Montreal had to wait until the end of August. Although Kate also had some parts shot in the studio, they were also at the back of the queue, so... Xiao
Well, I will soon be able to perform at my normal level.
"You know, I don't know much about acting, Sean, but I still have to say, you looked great in the shoot just now." Harvey Weinstein said with a laugh, "especially when you were looking at the plane.
Her expression is like looking at her lover."
As one of the investors and production companies, and the boss of Miramax, Weinstein naturally took time to come to the set. Although this fat man claims to be willing to do anything as long as he makes money, once he gets used to it,
Occasionally, there is also a...cute side. Sean has brought him so much benefit. The overseas distribution rights of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" alone have made Miramax easily make a lot of money, not to mention
The next few movies made a lot of money, so Fatty naturally became more fond of him.
"You mean, although you can't quite understand it, you think it's awesome?" Sean, who was drinking water, shrugged.
"Yeah...yes, that's what it means." Weinstein clapped his hands, as if he thought this sentence described it well.
Sean couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "It's actually very simple. Just bring your emotions into it. Just like you said before, imagine that you are looking at your lover."
"So, who are you thinking of?" Weinstein winked, his expression suddenly becoming lewd, "Nicole? Kidman?"
Sean immediately coughed dryly and almost spit out the water. He stared at him for a few seconds, then shrugged again: "Whatever you say."
The fat man burst out laughing immediately.
Well, counting the time, it was not long after the release of "Italian Mission" that Nicole finally called and asked to end their relationship in public. Her tone was cold and impatient, as if Sean owed her a lot of money.
.Well, it’s understandable that although she was happy at the time, it didn’t mean she would be happy later. It was good that she didn’t think of ways to retaliate, so Sean didn’t care and agreed.
Therefore, since mid-June, there have been various rumors claiming that Sean and Nicole are on the verge of breaking up or have already broken up. But just as they did not respond at the beginning, they still do not respond now, so regardless of the public
Even reporters were dubious about this statement. Then, after the initial campaign was almost done, more than a week ago, the media finally came to the scene they wanted to see most. Some reporters got the information from "well-informed people"
revealed, confirming that Sean and Nicole have officially split.
Suddenly, all kinds of "already known" stories sprung up. When you opened the newspaper and logged on to the major portal websites, any report related to scandals and gossips must mention this. The "sister-brother relationship" cannot last forever.
, why Nicole has a strong personality and cannot communicate with Sean, various news are flying everywhere, and some people even guessed that Sean and Nicole actually directed and acted in a scene, but not many people support this theory.
As a result, the news about Sean using the opportunity of dating big-name actresses to hype up his fame has surfaced again, and there is someone vaguely adding fuel to the fire. He can probably think of someone who is doing this, but as long as the scale is not large, it is
Let her go, you have to give others a chance to vent, right?
Amid this chaos, Weinstein also took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and use the scandal to build momentum for "Cold Mountain". In fact, when Nicole and Sean began to spread the scandal, he had already wanted to do this, but he didn't know
He guessed that they were acting, or felt that that time was not the right opportunity, so he did not jump out at that time, but chose this time.
This was naturally the right decision. People who were interested in this short-lived romance were also very curious about how they created a spark during the filming of "Cold Mountain" and how it slowly extinguished after the filming.
Therefore, "Cold Mountain", which has been well prepared but has not yet held a test screening, and even a trailer has not been released yet, has just entered the public eye. As long as the subsequent operations are done properly, the premiere at the end of the year will definitely not be too bad.
.
"Okay, your agent is here. He must have something to do with you, so I'll leave first." Weinstein pointed at the entrance of the studio and said, looking around, Frederick was hurriedly coming from outside.
return.
Then, he reminded again: "By the way, Sean, be careful with Leonardo DiCaprio. He seems to be very angry because he lost to you in this role. That kid was bound to win it at the beginning.
