Rickman's casting decisions.

"After this one, let's move on." Director John McTiernan called the next one.

"Wo werden wir spielen? (Where are we going to play later?)" a blond gangster said into the walkie-talkie.

"Hier gibt es gutes Eis (The ice cream provided by the crew is really good)" Hans, played by Alan Rickman, replied in German to the camera.

"This is really good, really good." Ronald felt that the German spoken by Alan Rickman was the style he thought Sigourney Weaver spoke in "Working Girl". It was obviously highly educated.

Education, speaks eloquently, has a smooth tone, and has an aristocratic accent.

The director stopped the filming, and changed the angle of the next scene and turned on the lights to shoot front and back. The crew rested in place for two hours.

Ronald went up and hugged Alan Rickman, "Very good, very good. Your German is admirable, as if it were spoken by a German aristocrat. If you hadn't been filming, I would have invited you."

Go teach my heroine."

"Actually, I only studied German for one semester in middle school. I just asked the actor who played my younger brother to copy down the lines I wanted to say, and I knew them by heart." Alan Rickman was very happy to talk to Ronald

Let’s talk. This movie looks interesting. Maybe I can really break into Hollywood.

"Ah? That's even more surprising." Ronald didn't expect that Rickman actually learned it on the spot and could speak it so well that he, who didn't understand German, could feel the character of the character. This acting skill was indeed very strong.

"What are you talking about? Are you discussing how to kill John McClane?" Ronald began to guess the meaning of the lines, just like the audience watching the movie live. Although they didn't understand, they could guess the general meaning.

.

"Haha, the guy said it was because the ice cream provided by the crew tastes good." Alan Rickman laughed.

Director John McTiernan did not rely entirely on the script when filming. According to the situation on the scene, he often wrote improvised scripts, revised them on the spot and asked the actors to perform them. This was also one of the reasons that slowed down the filming. The actors did not prepare a day in advance.

Familiarize yourself with the lines and plot in the evening.

"What?" Ronald frowned, are you all talking nonsense in German?

"Yes, they are all meaningless words. The director said that the audience would not understand them anyway. They are all meaningless lines."

"Joel...Joel..." Ronald felt very bad and waved the producer Silver over.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Joel Silver was chatting with the crew when he was summoned by Ronald. Seeing the expression on his face, he knew something serious was going on and immediately became serious.

"John McTiernan..." Ronald felt something was wrong and closed his mouth, "Let's go to the office and talk." On the shooting scene, the producer must respect and protect the director's authority, and if he curses, he must find someone.

Swear out of earshot of the staff and actors.

"McTiernan, this SOB, this Bitch, this retard... why did he let the actors make up German? Just a few lines of dialogue, couldn't you find someone who understands German to write it?" Ronald was furious and faced Joel.

·Silver just scolded and focused his firepower on the director.

"Ronald, are you too sensitive? Only a few percent of American audiences understand German. Anyway, they can roughly guess from the actors' expressions that they just need to discuss how to proceed. This is a commercial film, and details are required.

It doesn’t have to be so high.”

Joel Silver looked at Ronald and wondered if it was a sequelae of his paying great attention to details in pursuit of winning an Oscar? In fact, commercial films mainly have celebrity beauties and hot action, and the rest is more or less enough.

"You..." Ronald was so angry that he poured the mineral water on the table. "Let me ask you, when you saw the sample, did you think the quality of this movie was good? We hope to make a lot of money?" Ronald

Moral question.

"Of course, although it is unlikely to be nominated for an award, judging from the samples taken now, this is a new type of action movie that is completely different from Stallone's action movies in the past. I like this movie very much..." Joel West

Wolf looked at Ronald with a confused look on his face, making an expression that said, "What do you want to say?"

"Then tell me, Joel. Do you want to make big money or make bigger money?" Ronald didn't react when he saw the other party. "Want to make bigger money, right? Of course the audience in the North American market will not be too big."

I care, but if we want to make more money, we have to sell the movie to Europe. How can those audiences not hear that the actor is talking about eating ice cream, or nonsense that is not even German?"

"This..." Joel Silver touched his fat chin, this was something he didn't expect.

"It was mentioned in the script before that these gangsters are German. Germans don't speak German? Isn't it just a low-cost exploitation film? It looks very bad... and is it sold to TV stations for broadcast? How do they add subtitles?

Also, the income from movies and video tapes is very high these days. Those viewers can buy them home and watch them over and over again. Wouldn’t they know that those lines are nonsense?”

"Damn it, McTiernan is an idiot," Joel Silver also reacted. He and the director are too used to making movies for domestic audiences. This kind of small detail may not have been important before, but

This kind of film, which has the potential to be a blockbuster movie, must take into consideration the European audience.

"Ronald, you saved me again. I'll ask him to retake it."

"You have to rewrite the dialogue in German and have it translated into German, real German," Joel Silver announced his decision.

"Hey, Ronald, is that necessary? Who cares about the little details of a few seconds of dialogue?" Director John McTiernan was called in and after hearing Joel Silver's words, he

Not very convinced. Such small details must be the thoughts of Ronald, who is new here today.

"This is the final decision between the two of us. It's actually not troublesome, right?" Ronald looked at him. He knew that the director put all his energy on action scenes and would not say anything to this kind of film critic.

I just let go of the good words.

"Okay, okay... damn..." McTiernan felt that he was wasting time and went out cursing.

"You fucking know nothing." Joel Silver cursed from behind and slammed the door. He turned to Ronald, "Before we finish filming, we still have to let him perform..."

"Hurry up and make sure you don't make stupid mistakes like this again." Ronald nodded in agreement. McTiernan focused his energy mainly on action scenes, which is also a good thing. To achieve success, people in key positions must

Must also be able to get big benefits from the project. He can tolerate McTiernan in small places.
