45. Chapter 45
"Cut!" With Mingla's voice, the entire crew finally relaxed. Just look at his happy expression and you will know that this set of shots must have passed.
"Thank you all," said Mingla, who was in a good mood, "Now, take a 30-minute break."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cheered a few words, they were really exhausted.
"Good job, Sean." A venue assistant photographed Sean when he passed by.
Sean smiled and didn't say anything, but then another lighting maker came over and gave him a thumbs up. Well, he just proposed it with the mentality of trying it out. When Mingla asked, he instinctively or intuitively thought that the male protagonist could not speak in this scene, so he brought it up. Unexpectedly, Mingla not only adopted it, but also thought the effect was quite good.
"You have a good attitude, Sean, it's really the first time I'm in a movie." Another voice came into my ears, and then Philip Semer Hoffman's fat face appeared in front of me with a smile.
Sean almost subconsciously leaned back a little bit. Although he reacted in time, Hoffman had already shown a depressed look.
"The shooting is over, isn't it like this?" he asked half-jokingly. Gwyneth, who also came over to say hello to Sean, immediately burst into laughter when he heard this.
"Of course not, I just..." Sean made a few gestures, "I was quite impressed by "Smelling the Scent of the Scent and Knowing the Women."
"Well, it seems that I have become the spokesperson for this kind of role in your heart." Hoffman said immediately, his reaction was quite fast, and Gwyneth couldn't help laughing.
"If I were a screenwriter, I would definitely arrange you together." She said this while laughing, but then realized that it was inappropriate, so she left without saying hello.
"She's kidding, don't take it seriously," Hoffman waved his hand, "but you're really good, you've made a lot of preparations, right?"
"Yes, I think so do you." Sean laughed, "Thank you, Philip-can I call you that?"
When Hoffman left, he looked around again and didn't notice Jude Law's figure. It seemed that he had already left. After shrugging, he left the studio. He came to his trailer, opened the door and went in, looked around, stretched his waist and breathed happily, and then sat down on the sofa. Once upon a time, he was still thinking about when he could have a trailer dedicated to his rest, but now it has been realized.
"Hey, Sean, how about it? The photo was pretty good." Galen also came in at this time, and immediately took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.
"Not bad," Sean took the opening and took a big sip. "It was well prepared and it felt like it wasn't that difficult to make a movie."
"Maybe I should go in and see your heroic figure." Garen said half-jokingly, then smiled again, "I just saw the heroine. She is the heroine, right? It's very beautiful. Have you ever thought about it...well?"
"Why, in your eyes, am I a stud horse?" Sean rolled his eyes, "She is at least seven years older than me."
"So what, don't think I don't know what you and Miss Mia did in the classroom." Garen let out a "sneer" laugh.
Shawn, who was drinking water, almost sprayed out immediately and looked at him with a strange look, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I walked home that day, but I didn't realize I had something forgot to bring, so I went back to school and then saw something outside the classroom that I shouldn't have seen." Garen laughed, looking quite proud.
"Then...Neil and the others..." Sean had a glimmer of hope.
"Of course, you know that you should understand that Sean, it is the dream of every male student to go to his beautiful high school female teacher." Galen spread his hands, "Also, you often don't go back to your apartment at night during this period. I can fully imagine where you spend the night, so, honestly, do you have some ideas?"
"Okay, Garen, today is the first day of shooting, I don't have time to think so much." Sean had to raise his hands to stop the topic.
But then again, Gwyneth Paltrow does have an attractive charm. If she says beautiful things, she is not as good as Jennifer and Naomi, but her temperament is quite good. But Sean's attention is not on this. He discovered something that he expected, and the first thing he showed was Philip Seymer Hoffman.
Before coming to the crew, Sean had already imagined many scenes. He played the male lead in this movie as an almost complete newcomer. Even with Mingla's strong support, there would still be people who dislike him, not to mention that there were people in the crew who were bad intentions towards him. Although he tried his best to gain favor from some people before this, some people could not reach it, that is the other starring actors of this movie.
Both Frederick and Lesen, who are in public relations, have reminded him of this. Most of these actors start with supporting roles, and only gain the protagonist after having a certain degree of qualifications and accumulation. There are very few people like Sean who are not very famous but who play the male lead in such a movie. If they don’t have any ideas, it is absolutely impossible.
In Sean's opinion, Hoffman is the most likely to have this idea. He is already thirty years old, but he has been playing various supporting roles. He even played a high school student in "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" at the age of 25. It was not until the release of "Bully Night". But now he still plays a supporting role in "Genius Ripley". It is unlikely that he has no opinion on Sean.
Jude Law is different. He participated in the performance of the Youth Musical Theater at the age of 12, dropped out of high school at the age of 17, became a professional actor, which is quite similar to Sean. And he became famous early. Although he was in the UK, he was invited by Mingla to play the role of Dick, and there was no conflict of interest with Sean.
But for some reason, Hoffman now has a good impression of him, while Jude is very cold. Before filming started, Sean tried to say hello to Jude after he came to the set, but the other party looked like he ignored him and responded very perfunctorily.
"Don't worry about that, just be careful to do your own." Sean said to himself. Although Hoberg and Chicarelli have not made any moves until now, they will never continue like this.
Soon, thirty minutes of rest passed, and at Garen's reminder, Sean entered the studio one step ahead of others.
The first thing to do is to make up makeup. The makeup the stylist puts on the role is targeted. For example, Sean dyed his hair a lot lighter, the lines of his facial features are more obvious, and he looks more masculine, but he has more bookishness after wearing glasses. In this case, to keep the shooting to achieve the effect the director wants, it is naturally necessary to pay attention to it at all times, and it is not very troublesome. Since it is to make up, just draw the unsuitable parts again.
After finishing all this and reviewing the subsequent huge book, Sean came to the first floor of the studio with doubts, and then he was stunned in surprise.
There is a large pool in the middle of the inner layer. It is now filled with water, with an area of about 500 square meters. A laughing sailboat is parked next to it. The foreman of the field affairs department is directing his assistants to place various equipment and hang green curtains around it, which is undoubtedly preparing for the later stage.
"I thought I would go to the field shooting." Sean said.
"On the field? How is it possible?" A laughter came from the side, and Hoffman appeared in front of him, "Don't you think the scenes of sailing in the sea are all shot on the field, Sean?"
"Well... I've seen the picture of this shot at the art director, and it is said that a considerable number of shots are going to Italy for on-site shooting, so I was a little confused when I learned that I was going to shoot this part." Sean explained.
"In this case, there is usually no field shooting, because... it's too troublesome." Hoffman thought about it and explained to him, "You know, at the beach, the waves are relatively large, and if the boat is too small, the stability will definitely not be high. You can think about how a headache the director and producer will be caused by the waves."
"So, building a set indoors and adding the picture in post-production will save both money and time," Sean continued.
"That's right," Hoffman nodded, "Of course, you can also go to the docks to shoot if you need it. For example, the shrimp-catching plot in Forrest Gump, except for pure sea shots, were all shot in San Diego. In addition, if you invest enough, it's okay to learn from Cameron to build a boat in Mexico."
Listening to these slightly funny words, Sean couldn't help but laugh, and he had a little more favorable impression of him.
"Okay, let's go change your clothes, we're going to get on the boat later." Hoffman patted his shoulder and walked towards the prepared locker room.
"Phillip." Sean suddenly called him, but when the other party turned around and looked at him with inquiring eyes, he couldn't say anything, and finally just shrugged: "Thank you."
"Just don't confuse me with the character," he teased and went into the locker room.
Sean grabbed his chin, sighed, and then entered his locker room.
The next scene happened on Dick's private yacht. Ripley, Dick, Freddy, and Maggie together. Dick is naturally closer to Freddy, who is also a rich child. Coupled with Freddy's mockery in the morning, Ripley had previously sneaked his clothes. He was originally a condescending attitude to examine Dick Ripley's, and he became more and more distracted from him.
Maggie comforted him a few words, but Freddy took this opportunity to sarcastically sarcastically at him, which further distorted Ripley's psychology.
