Chapter 303 The One-Man Show
These unofficial non-governmental organizations are often more difficult to deal with than political institutions. Fortunately, they are only members of environmental protection organizations. If they are fish or crab protector organizations, then this movie must be stranded here.
In fact, many crews have been troubled by various inexplicable associations. Scarlett Johnson, who is filming "The Horse Whisperer", once complained on the phone to Ryan that an animal protector organization sent supervisors to observe the crew's attitude towards horses.
Those horses who act as props not only became the best-paid actors in the crew, but also did not have to work overtime. As long as the working hours exceeded the regulations, even if they were one minute, those people would stand up and complain, which made the crew very annoyed.
On the contrary, those human actors who work overtime and overload work turn a blind eye to them.
After hearing Scarlett's words, Ryan also remembered some media complaints that killing people in North America is no big deal. If you kill a dog, that is the real trouble.
Fortunately, this is Fiji, and many things have room for improvement. Ryan believes that the various organizations here should not be as perverted as North America.
"This is the request of the owner of the island, and he asks us to try our best to maintain the appearance here."
After the environmental protector named Helen Kissen walked away, Robert Zemeggis briefly explained a few words, "We need to follow the customs and environmental management regulations here, and Miss Anna Kissen is responsible for the full supervision."
"Let's find someone to be responsible for communicating with her." Ryan still understands the principle of following the local customs.
Although he also served as a producer, Ryan handed over all the management work of the entire crew to Julius Stewart. What he was going to shoot next was a one-man show. He needed to use his performance to support all the shots, and he must devote all his energy to the role of Chuck.
Ryan took a night off and tried to shoot for another half a morning, and his one-man show officially started filming.
In the tent that acts as a temporary dressing room, the stylist is dressing Ryan more maturely, and also reminds some subsequent precautions.
"Ryan, from now on, you need to grow your hair and your beard..."
He looked at Ryan's face and sighed, "Okay, I'm responsible for solving the beard problem."
It is obvious that it is impossible to complete an eighteen-year-old young man with a beard over a few months.
In fact, since the New Year, Ryan has grown hair, and the problem of beard is indeed difficult to solve.
The best way is to lower the age of the protagonist Chuck, but if you are too young, your life experience will be reduced and your persuasiveness will be further reduced. For such a movie that is almost like a one-man show, it will be a disaster.
Of course, for those experienced makeup artists in Hollywood, both hair and beard are all minor problems.
"Ryan, is that OK?" Anna Howard asked at the door.
"It's going to be done soon, Anna." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and the footage that was about to be taken flashed through his mind.
On the beach of the island, various equipment such as lights and cameras were ready. Ryan was lying in the life raft and raised his thumbs up to Robert Zemegis.
"Scene 16, Act 2, begin now!"
The sleeping man was lying in a yellow life raft with an abnormal blush on his face. The surrounding sea water continued to wash around. When the morning sun completely dispelled the darkness of the disaster, he slowly opened his eyes. Confusion and doubt flashed in his light blue eyes, as well as the glory of the aftermath of the disaster...
After coughing a few times, the man used his hands and feet to climb out of the life raft, but now he seemed a little weak and fell directly on the beach, allowing the sea to rinse his fat sweater and dirty trousers.
Wiping away the water droplets and sand on his face, the man slowly crawled forward and came to a place far away from the sea. He looked into the distance. In addition to the sea, he was also inexplicably filled with emotions on his firm face.
It seemed that he remembered something. The man fumbled through his pockets all over his body. A black copy machine was held in his hand with hope. However, this copy machine, which was claimed to be absolutely waterproof, could no longer be used after being filled with water.
Pour out the water inside, the man threw the copying machine aside in disappointment, and took out a pocket watch from his pocket, which was the Christmas gift given to him by his fiancée.
When he opened the pocket watch, the pointer had already been frozen. He put it in his ear and listened to it. He understood that the watch must have been broken. He looked at the photo of his fiancée inside in a daze and solemnly put it away.
The plane crash and the setbacks of wandering on the isolated island have not yet been able to defeat this man. His eyes kept patrolling around, wanting to find some hope and some clues.
Soon, something caught his attention.
Wearing a wet sweater and trousers and a fine sand on his face, the man stood up strongly, strode forward, and picked up the FedEx email that was being baptized by sea water...
"cut!" Robert Zemisga showed a satisfied look, "Very good, Ryan, your performance is amazing!"
Although the other party had a prominent reputation, he did not expect that after such a long interval, the other party would recover so quickly.
"Is there any trick, Ryan?"
When he walked to the rest area, Anna Howard handed over the towel and blanket in time. Ryan just took the towel and wiped off the sand on his face, "Because I don't want to continue soaking in the sea."
When everyone around him laughed at the reason that this was not a reason.
The filming of this movie is an alternative in Hollywood production. It is filmed almost exactly in the order of the development of the film plot, and the scene does not require too many changes. The actor is the only one who is the actor. As long as he is in good condition, the shooting progress will be extremely smooth.
Strictly speaking, this movie is the most thoroughly prepared for Ryan. Not only does he increase his weight to make himself look more mature, but he also received a lot of outdoor survival training from George and professionals.
All of these will help him better control the role.
Ryan's condition has been stable. Although there are occasionally several shots, the double-digit ng will appear, the overall shooting progress is far beyond Robert Zemegis' actual plan.
Of course, for making Hollywood movies, the length of the shots that need to be shot is often ten times the actual length of the movie.
In addition to the crew and the member of the Environmental Protection Organization, there were two FedEx employees who carried a large number of mail boxes and packaging boxes, which were both props for the crew and their best advertising carrier.
"Ryan, according to the current shooting progress, we can save a quarter of the cost at this stage."
During lunch, Ryan and Robert Zemegis got together, and the director was obviously quite satisfied with the shooting in recent days, "so that we can have more money and invest in post-production."
As for returning the saved money to investors, it is absolutely impossible for a qualified director.
"You can just coordinate with Julius to deal with these things." Ryan was still the original surname of the shopkeeper.
Compared to his previous life, the budget for this movie is only 65 million US dollars, of which 20 million US dollars are Ryan's pay. This movie is not produced by Jenkins Pictures, and he will not be ruthless at all when he deserves the money.
After "Titanic", even in terms of performance, he was also a top superstar in Hollywood. Not to mention 20 million US dollars, if Ryankan nodded, at least more than ten producers would be willing to pay him 30 million US dollars to star in the movies produced by their company.
As the filming deepened, Ryan received wild survival training and gradually played a role. Although he would probably die if he threw himself into the deserted wilderness, his performance in front of the camera was completely an amateur survival expert.
Whenever the assistant director shouts the start, the protagonist he plays will use a stone tool to open the coconut, use the coconut shell to collect rainwater from the leaves, and can also use sharpened wooden sticks to fish in the sea.
He even personally drew a yellow lifesaving raft and entered the sea and fought against the wind and waves.
Two weeks later, perhaps after a long and continuous shooting, Ryan's long light brown hair was curled into a ball, and his naked upper body turned almost bronze and unkempt. At first glance, he looked like a refugee wandering from Africa to here.
"You don't happen to have matches, do you?"
In front of the camera, Ryan is using the most primitive method to make a fire, and the object he is talking to is a volleyball.
His arms raised muscles, holding the sharpened wooden stick, was quickly rubbing against the wooden grooves on the beach. The sky-blue eyes would turn around from time to time and look at the red face on the volleyball. It seemed that this only partner could bring him strength and confidence.
The hay on the wooden trough finally burst into smoke. Ryan quickly lay on the ground and blew gently, trying to turn the spark into a life-saving fire.
However, something disappointing happened, the smoke gradually dissipated, the fire was gone, and there was no trace of it.
"There is air in!" Ryan glanced at the cracked wooden groove and said to the volleyball extremely seriously.
Under the gaze of his only companion, he quickly regained his confidence, prepared again, and repeatedly caused friction to make fire.
His resolute face, dripping sweat beads, his never-give-up expression, and the volleyball ball were all supporting him to continue.
The blue smoke rose again, and the sky-blue eyes were filled with hope. A few breaths slowly fell on the hay. The spark that led humans from barbarism to civilization was finally ignited!
"Hahaha... Fire, my fire is finally here!" (To be continued.)
