Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 88: never had

As Lyman picked up the speaker again and shouted ""

The "Sergeant" played by Nicolas Cage also began to appear.

Holding the removed steel helmet in his hand, he was walking in the camp, occasionally saying hello to a few familiar comrades...

Above the shooting track set up in the camp, two dark film cameras are working at the same time, one for the medium shot and the other for the close-up of the characters. achieve the desired shooting effect.

Lehman sat behind the director's monitor, carefully observing the images transmitted at this time.

"Hi, Don."

The "sergeant" who had just returned to his team's station was stopped.

His Excellency the commander came over and said, "I'll introduce you to a soldier, Norman, who will be a new member of your squad."

"Sergeant" immediately saw that the soldier next to the commander was a new melon egg.

Immediately dissatisfied, he pulled the commander over and walked a little further away before saying, "Sir, will you let a recruit like this join our team?"

The commander gave Nicolas Cage a bright look, and said helplessly: "No way, we are running out of manpower, and you know that our mission is urgent, and we must first get through the line of defense set up in the eastern battlefield. Free up your hands and feet for the large troops behind... Your team has lost one person, and he is always there, and it will always have some effect."

Nicolas Cage frowned and said seriously: "Fuck."

A recording assistant just used the boom to send the recording microphone down.

Recording this swearing is also a sign of "sergeant" dissatisfaction, but as the commander said, his team has been laid off and needs to be supplemented. This is an established fact. change anything.

"cut, okay, it's over."

For a time, the atmosphere in the crew became active again.

Indeed, they couldn't be happier than the filming went well.

"Next shot." Lyman picked up the speaker and commanded loudly.

Next, the crew shot several shots of the "sergeant" talking to recruit Norman in the Fury squad's camp, as well as several other squad members showing mixed performances of the recruit's addition.

In this way, the entire "Norman Enlistment" scene is almost complete, and then it turns again and starts to shoot Nicolas Cage teaching Heath Ledger how to be a qualified tank lookout. .

After the crew made some arrangements, the filming began.

The shots were generally not difficult, with only occasional missteps by the lead actors, but they were quickly adjusted.

Sometimes, Lyman also needs to pick out some scene details or adjust the use of firearms and other weapons and equipment under the guidance of Lieutenant Colonel Logan. Even when inspiration comes, he will add a little drama to further improve the plot of the whole movie.

But even so, the shooting went smoothly.

The benefits of using actors with rich filming experience or good acting skills, such as Nicolas Cage, Heath Ledger, and Trine Garcia, are fully reflected for such a war drama.

Their performances are very smooth, and they have that kind of soldier temperament.

In short, even when mixed in a group of veterans, it will not look awkward.

This is much better than the average traditional big vase star.

Especially Nicolas Cage, he himself does not lack the acting skills possessed by an acting school, and he has more experience in shooting war scenes than Heath Ledger and others. He is very strong and very suitable for acting as a soldier. a class of roles.

Maybe it's not for nothing that he can become a benchmark among male actors in the 1990s.

Of course, the actor is not all-powerful, and neither is he, and the crew soon ran into trouble...

"Pay attention to the control of the face, he is a veteran who has experienced life and death, and he will not be moved by the death of his comrades." After two consecutive ngs, Lyman pulled Nicholas Cage and explained carefully: "The eyes are flickering. Okay, you can think about what this means and experience it."

"Give me five minutes." Cage said immediately, apparently knowing that there was a problem with his emotions that caused the filming to be interrupted.

Lyman nodded and went back behind the monitor, but five minutes later, just as filming had just started, he immediately called stop!

Nicholas Cage was stared at by Lehman, also frowning, thinking there. The fastest update of Qiqi novel https://

The scene being filmed now is that the sergeant played by Nicolas Cage and the troops rushed to a small town, blocked the entrance and exit there, and surrounded and wiped out a retreating enemy army.

But on the way, they met a group of fleeing Germans. One and a half of the young man took out an "iron fist" from the backpack behind him. The iron fist is a German anti-tank bazooka and the originator of later RPGs. It can be regarded as a A large gunpowder warhead was attached to the iron pipe, and it attacked a soldier in the marching unit of the Allied forces. body...

Following Lehman's shout, the surrounding staff looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

The three consecutive ngs are already the most in this week of filming, and it seems that it is all due to the fault of the performance.

This scene is very simple, of course, from the perspective of director Lyman.

It was Nicolas Cage who saw his comrade-in-arms being bombarded to death at close range with an "iron fist", and his face was close-up.

Whether surprised or sad, his face was always calm, all expressed with his eyes.

But it's so simple, can't tm do it well?

And when those staff members or Nicolas Cage himself came to watch the scene just now, they all felt very calm and should have performed well, but for some reason, director Lyman was still not satisfied.

Lehman looked around at the crew members who had stopped, thought for a while, and said loudly, "Everyone take a rest first."

So everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and went to drink water, find someone to chat, and take advantage of the free time to go to the toilet.

There was a little noise in the arena.

Lyman, who was beside him, sat back behind the monitor and played back and forth over and over again the content he had just shot.

In these several ngs, Nicolas Cage fully demonstrated the background of a powerful actor, from the first time his face was slightly moved and seemed to be panic; to the second time he was indifferent and expressionless; to the third time Over and over, the facial muscles are already cold, but the eyes move slightly, with some character temperature.

Every time he performs, he is improving, and he is trying to interpret the same scene in different styles. While maintaining the expressive effect that the director generally needs, he has improved the layering of his character's related emergencies.

But Lehman just felt it was very abrupt. His performance seemed to be fine by itself, but in the whole scene, there was something wrong, there was an inexplicable sense of separation, which is commonly known as a play.

Nicolas Cage did not go to rest, but after cleaning up his makeup a little, he came over.

After getting along for so long, he became familiar with director Lyman, and knew that his character was the kind of person who was easy to get along with.

So even if I just received the training, I still want to come over and communicate more.

He has grown from a small actor to his current reputation because he has always respected the directors of every filming crew.

Even if he becomes famous, he doesn't play big names on a person like a director. This is the law of survival on the set that he summed up by himself as an actor.

A head poked over, and after staring at the monitor for a while, he still asked somewhat puzzled: "Then how should I act?"

Lyman was also thinking, and he felt that his instructions were right. A veteran of the battlefield, used to seeing life and death, the sense of indifference to life is certain.

Otherwise, such a person, after being killed for a long time, would have collapsed long ago, not mentally paralyzed, either a natural killer or a lunatic, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.

But, what's wrong?

Lehmann shook his head honestly~www.novelmt.com~ I don't know, I just think your performance just now is wrong..."

As an actor, this is probably the answer that Nicolas Cage is most afraid to hear.

Even the director has lost his judgment, what kind of emotional regulation or physical movement can he use to achieve the effect?

The director is the only brain of the crew, and he controls the final style of a movie. Qiqi's novels are first published on the whole network

All the behind-the-scenes staff, including the actors, serve to implement his ideas and concepts, so if the director himself doesn't have clear shooting requirements, it's really over.

Now ng is such a situation.

Lyman's intuition told him that the shot just now was definitely flawed, but he didn't know how to correct it.

"why?"

Lyman muttered silently.

Nicholas Cage was sitting next to him, and his nose could smell the smell of salted fish coming from sweat through his clothes, which made Lyman's mood even more irritable.

If it weren't for Cage, your performance couldn't always give the kind of effect he wanted, and he wouldn't be so upset.

But why?

He couldn't think of the source of the problem.

Painfully grabbing a handful of hair, Nicolas Cage suddenly suggested: "How about I add some movement and frown slightly?"

Lyman ignored him and just looked at the monitor, playing it over and over again.

If you add some facial micro-movements, your first performance is almost the same, but you haven't shouted "cut".

Cage felt that he seemed to have come up with a bad idea, and the director obviously didn't speak any more.

It could also be seen that he was in a bad mood, so Nicolas Cage silently returned to his rest car.
