451. Chapter 451 Shooting in advance
"The history of this world, my love, is just the history of lower-class people serving the upper-class people..." Sean shook his head and sang, sometimes passionately, sometimes sad and angry, sometimes full of anger, and he looked very involved.
Then, Tim Burton's voice came over: "How's it going, Sean, it looks like you did a good job in your homework."
"Thank you." Sean rolled his eyes at the somewhat unkempt director, "I now know how Depp was trained by you."
This is the UK, Buckinghamshire, Pinewood Studios, the filming location of "Sweeney Todd". Although Sean has a lot to do, plans can never change quickly. He was originally staying with Naomi and Alexander for a few days
, after coaxing Katie, whose belly was getting bigger day by day, he was about to start shooting the MV for "Blurred Lines", but at this time he received a call from Burton that the movie could start shooting in advance.
This was within the contract. Although the date was stipulated, it also stated that certain adjustments could be made, so he could only pack his bags and go to the UK and postpone these matters.
Sean made a lot of preparations for this movie. He watched a lot of operas and sang a lot of operas - watching them in theaters and singing at home. He also consulted some opera masters, but maybe he still couldn't talk to professional opera singers.
In comparison, it should be no problem to cope with movies and operas.
But after coming to the UK, Burton didn't say anything or communicate with him much. He just asked him to sing the songs in the film repeatedly, rest when he was tired, and continue when he was rested.
Fortunately, he didn't press too hard, and Sean could adjust the time freely, otherwise his voice would have been hoarse for a long time. It was not a pleasant feeling, because when we were filming "Battle Hour", Wayne's voice was higher than usual when he was Batman.
When Sean was out of the country as Batman, he had to lower his voice all the time to speak, which eventually caused his voice to be hoarse for a long time.
During that time, something seemed to be stuck in the throat, a thick lump that made people want to cough it out all the time, but as long as they coughed a little, the throat would feel tight and uncomfortable, which made people extremely annoyed and helpless.
Sean didn't want to experience this feeling again, but Burton, who had already started filming at this time, said that he would not start Sean's scenes until he felt he was ready, otherwise he would just keep practicing like this.
Sean really wanted to ask if he would stop making the movie if he couldn't satisfy him all the time. However, he still didn't ask. His intuition told him that Burton was really likely to do this. This was also the case when Burton finally
The reason why he answered like that when I came over and asked him how he was doing.
"Thank you for the compliment. Johnny will be very happy if he knows about it." The other party burst out laughing.
Of course, of course, you must know that certain things have been circulated in Hollywood. Sean rolled his eyes in his heart, but on the surface he still said: "Speaking of which, why do you want me to play the leading role this time instead of continuing to work with Depp?"
cooperate?"
Then he immediately added: "I mean, other than that I can sing and the previous case, is there no other reason?"
"What, you think the leading actor in my movie will only be Johnny?" Burton asked half-jokingly.
"Isn't that true?" Sean asked.
"Johnny was not the leading actor in the previous "Big Fish"," Burton reminded.
"So no one remembers that "Big Fish" is your work." Sean continued to retort with a smile.
"Well," Burton had to raise his hands, "Frankly speaking, I did consider Johnny at first. After all, we have worked together on many movies and know each other very well. But you also know that Disney is famous for "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"The success of "I have signed several film contracts with him, and I can't get away from it for the time being. If nothing happens, I will wait and start shooting next year, next year, or next year."
He paused after saying this and observed Sean for a few minutes. The latter's expression did not change.
Then Burton continued: "But I discovered you - in fact, someone had recommended you before, but I didn't think you were suitable until you encountered that case. Very few people have this experience, not only were they
You are wronged, you have to go to court, and you can sing, so you are a very suitable candidate. Then, I got to know you a lot. Basically, every director you work with has praised you highly, so I think
You can try it.”
"So..." Sean raised his eyebrows.
"So far, I'm quite satisfied." The unshaven middle-aged man chuckled, "I hope you can keep it up, Sean."
"I've been waiting for a long time." Sean said immediately with an eager tone.
Then, Burton left first, and Sean left his exclusive room. When the makeup artist and the costume artist cleaned up his hair - the hair was fluffy but not too messy, and there was a wisp of hair dyed white on his forehead.
, the black eye circles are extremely deep, but the face is very pale, a typical Tim Burton-style Gothic style.
After doing this, Sean looked at himself in the mirror, almost unrecognizable, sighed, and then Shi Shiran came to the studio.
"Tim said you are outstanding, I hope you can live up to this trust, boy." Arriving under the tent where the meeting was held, Sean was about to say hello to several principals when a woman came to him and looked him over.
He said this carelessly.
"I thought you would be different from the image in the movie, Mrs. Burton." Sean was stunned for a few seconds, and then said with a smile.
"Oh?" The woman blinked her eyes, then put away her informal expression, turning into resentment and sighing, "Is that what you mean?"
Sean coughed involuntarily. If she was dressed normally, she would be very attractive with this expression, but at this time she had already put on makeup, thick eye shadow, thick foundation, and
The dark lip color and this expression make people look particularly shabby.
"I didn't say anything." Sean immediately raised his hands and made a "spare me" look, and then the other party burst into laughter. It was quite a crazy visual. No wonder there is a disappearance story, a movie in preparation
version of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" wants her to play Bellatrix.
"Okay, Helena, don't embarrass Sean. Hurry up and get your lines right before you're wasted." Although Burton said this, his smile was obviously a bit gloating.
This woman who looks a little nervous is Tim Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter. It must be said that this is a match made in heaven. Burton is best at gothic movies, and Helen
What Na is best at is all kinds of weird and unconventional roles.
The two people quickly sparked off after they met in 2001, and then quickly got married. As a result, some rumors about Burton and Depp were broken.
After Helena married Burton, she began to go further in unconventional roles, such as the neurotic restaurant proprietress in "Sweeney Todd" who was the heroine of the movie.
In fact, if Helena tidies up, although she is not beautiful, she still has a different kind of style. But she is used to those weird characters, and now under the leadership of Burton, she is getting more and more into the Gothic style.
Going further, we can only say that everyone has everyone's interests.
"I thought this was where we would discuss our lines." A magnetic and cold voice came from outside, and then a serious and cold man appeared in front of Sean and the others.
"Ha, nice to meet you, Professor Snape." Sean immediately stretched out his hand and said half-jokingly.
Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of laughing at all. After snorting, he said slowly: "Are you really the leading actor in this movie? Are you really an actor?"
"Well..." Sean grinned and retracted his hand in embarrassment, "I think... it should be..."
Then I heard the other party say: "You are on the wrong set, Mr. Ripley."
He immediately looked at him in stunned silence. Before he could react, he heard the other party say again: "In view of the unprofessional qualities you have shown, five points will be deducted from Gryffindor."
When the other party said this, he was still serious, as if it was true, so Sean rolled his eyes involuntarily, while the Burtons laughed.
Who would have thought that this middle-aged actor who looks very serious and doesn't pretend to be pretentious would actually have such a side.
Alan Rickman, this is his name, a well-known British actor, the villain of the first part of "Die Hard", Colonel Brandon of "Sense and Sensibility", and... the star of the Harry Potter series
Professor Severus Snape.
Especially the last role, in which a fifty-year-old acted like a thirty-year-old man, which directly made Snape, who had greasy hair in the original novel and was privately called Big Bat by his students, a popular character.
This time he also played the villain in "Sweeney Todd". He framed Todd and imprisoned him because he coveted Todd's wife. After his wife committed suicide, he adopted his daughter and planned to raise her when she came of age.
Later he married her.
All in all, he is a bad guy from head to toe, and he also has to sing in various ways, and there are many places where he has to sing with Sean.
After learning that Rickman would play the villain, Sean was quite looking forward to it. Although they had not communicated with him, he had a good sense of him and liked the character of Snape he played.
So after meeting before, Sean would jokingly ask something, trying to tease the other person a little bit. What he didn't expect was that in the end, he was teased.
"I have to say, you are really an excellent actor, Mr. Rickman." After they laughed, Sean said in a resigned tone.
"You are also very good, Mr. Tang." Rickman raised his eyebrows, maintaining his British gentleman's demeanor. Even when he smiled, he smiled lightly.
"Okay, gentlemen, please suspend your mutual flattery," Burton jumped out to smooth things over. "If we don't hurry up, today's task will not be completed."
"You can't blame me, Tim," Sean exclaimed immediately, "I have always been serious about cooperating."
As soon as the words fell, Helena and Rickman cast their eyes over at the same time, and Sean immediately changed his words: "I'm ready, which one of you will come first?"
Chapter completed!
