It seems that I don't have to worry anymore, I just need to delegate the power to him.

After staying for a while, Ronald ran to the rest trailer and waited for Helen Slater to come over while she was resting. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Maybe it was because they were happy to see each other today. Helen's acting skills seemed to have improved to a higher level.

.

But after waiting for a long time, Helen didn't come, so Ronald ran to the scene again. Ang Lee is so diligent? Don't tire out the actor.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw that Ang Lee was narrating a scene for Langxiong and Helen Slater again. This was a relatively complicated movement shot. The camera first focused on the two of them, and then panned to the other side, where Helen played the daughter-in-law.

In his own room, on the other side is his father played by Lang Xiong.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is another metaphor, Eastern and Western cultures, in the east and west bedrooms.

However, this shot was shot several times but still failed to get it right. In addition to the actors' coordination, the movement of the camera itself is also quite complicated. First, it needs to shoot with a hyperfocal distance, then pan, add a medium shot and a moving picture, and it needs to be large.

Amplitude changes the focal length.

There are many places here that need to be explained clearly to the audience, which tests the director's scheduling ability and the technical ability of the camera crew.

Ronald soon discovered that this crew didn't have much money, and the people they hired were actually not technically competent enough to handle such a complex movement. And Ang Lee didn't have much experience in directing complex scenes, so he was a little overwhelmed.

"Ahem..." Ronald coughed twice. Suddenly the scene became silent, and everyone looked at him, as if he was the director of the scene.

This is not good. Ronald immediately smiled and said, "The shooting this morning was very good. This crew is one of the best small-budget film crews I have ever seen. But let me tell you, is it time for a break? Our budget is very small."

It's enough. It seems that there is no need to rush. It would not be good if the union observers saw that the rest regulations were violated."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed at once. Ronald also handed Ang Lee a cup of black tea, and then motioned for him to say a few words alone.

"How do you feel? It's been a long time since I've seen a director who was so calm when making a movie for the first time. You're very good."

"Hey, I'm actually quite nervous."

"What are you afraid of? As long as you show confidence, they will respect you."

Under Ronald's deliberate praise, Ang Lee's confidence was greatly enhanced.

"Do you have any suggestions? I feel that some complex scenes are still a bit difficult." The modesty unique to Chinese Americans emerged in him again.

"You did a very good job, I have nothing to complain about. However, if you think the camera movement is difficult, you might as well use some still shots. You know, even Billy Wilder, in his early movies

It also has a lot of still shots and relies on post-production editing.”

"I will consider it." Ang Lee knew, but, but, the following is the key point.

Soon, he redid the storyboard. A complex moving shot was split into three static shots. He moved the camera outside the door and shot the scene of two actors through the window, thus replacing the complicated camera.

Movement to express cultural divide.

With a fixed pane dividing the two people, the cultural gap between the two is presented in the frame formed by the pane. In fact, the expressiveness is no worse than the original plan.

…

"It's Marty who won the award again. It seems that his Oscar for Best Director this year is very secure."

Helen Slater couldn't leave the set at night, and Ronald was here to accompany her. Ronald was in the hotel, talking to Richard on the phone. The New York Film Critics Circle Award that had just been awarded was also announced.

Robert De Niro won the best actor, Scorsese won the best director, Joanne Woodward won the best actress, and Goodfellas won the best movie...

The awards in New York, Dances with Wolves, and Costner didn't even get second place. They were completely wiped out.

New York's Oscar compass is all focused on the Italian gang this time.

"Humph, they just like to give awards to filmmakers born in New York. I think Scorsese won the award this time. Next time they will favor you." Helen is more familiar with the New York film circle and she can tell at a glance.

problem lies in.

Even veteran movie queens like Joanne Woodward were awarded the Best Actress award. It was all based on the favor of fellow countrymen. The current New York film industry is getting further and further away from Hollywood.

"Well, this is just a compass. There are also the Boston Film Critics Association, the Writers Guild Awards, and the Directors Guild Awards. They are also very meaningful as compasses."

Ronald no longer thought about the troubles, turned over and hugged Helen and kissed her.

…

"The Boston Film Critics Society Awards were announced, and Marty Scorsese won the Best Director Award. Best Picture went to Goodfellas, and Best Actor and Actor went to Jeremy Irons and Angelica Huston respectively.

get."

Sure enough, Helen's statement was confirmed. Boston did not favor actors born in New York. But Goodfellas still won two awards for Best Picture and Best Director.

The next Screenwriters Guild Award, jointly presented by the New York and Los Angeles Screenwriters Guilds, awarded the Best Adapted Screenplay to Michael Blake for "Dances with Wolves". This was also the first time that a film in which Ronald participated received the award.

Recognized by the Compass Awards.

The best original screenplay went to the director of Rain Man, Barry Levinson. His new film Avalon was written and directed by himself. Neither the screenwriter of "The Last Day" or "Pretty Woman" won the award.

Sen.

This result is even more pointed. Screenwriters generally prefer a famous director like Barry Levinson. Bruce Joel Rubin and L. Laughton are both unknown screenwriters. The Writers Guild itself does not like them very much.

.

Ronald, who returned to Los Angeles, no longer had high hopes for his few films. He edited "Other People's Money" in the editing room and left the matter of public relations awards completely to Michael Gray.

Responsible.

"The Directors Guild, we sincerely invite Ronald Lee to attend this year's Directors Guild Awards Ceremony."
