Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 638 TV Shooting



New Mexico administers the old town of Las Cruces city.

The Breaking Bad crew has been here for four days.

Because of the success of Firefly's two consecutive TV series, the public is also looking forward to the start of filming of this TV series.

Even the initial preparatory filming has attracted a lot of media attention-mainly because there is no news in the entertainment industry that is worth reporting recently. The only thing that has a bit of traffic is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting along. After being said a few words, the character of a good man collapsed, and then immediately set up to pursue the character of true love.

When the tedious three rounds of audition and casting ended, although many actors who wanted to cooperate with Firefly were not selected, they were disappointed, but several of the main actors who were determined also entered the media's attention.

Among them, several supporting roles who played Xiaofan and anti-drug police officers were not well-known, but they were not questioned much. After all, before the success of Prison Break, several actors in it were not very popular, which proves that Firefly's popularity Human abilities are still there.

But when the information of the male protagonist Bryan Cranston was announced, the voices of doubt were no longer rare.

At the age of 50, from the 1980s to the present, the only award that he can win is the Emmy nomination for male supporting roles. The most important thing is that he looks too ordinary, and he has no experience in starring. He can afford this drama. ......

More importantly, with such an old actor playing the leading role, what will the show be about?

It's not about the midlife crisis.

Many fans of Prison Break and The Walking Dead are obviously not used to this wave of firefly, because the average viewing age of these two shows is roughly 16 to 24 years old. How can anyone care about one of them? The performance of the ordinary man of the year.

Therefore, on the Internet and American TV forums, the shooting of Firefly's new drama quickly became the focus of controversy.

Some people thought optimistically, maybe this male protagonist will have a different kind of charm, and the play itself is good enough; some people think that the new play may be a sitcom type, and the male protagonist Brian has participated in The Malcolm Family. ; more people think that the firefly Jiang Lang is exhausted and can't make good dramas, so they have to make some old-fashioned family soap operas...

In fact, once an actor is over 50 years old, he is really pushed aside by mainstream Hollywood film and television dramas, and neither the media nor the public will pay much attention to the aged actor.

Even if the acting is good, even if he has won many awards, so what?

You are past the age to be admired and fascinated by the people.

Therefore, in addition to Bryan's agency arranging a large number of publicity drafts for its clients, trying to save the embarrassment of being denied the protagonist before the show was released in the form of press releases, Bryan Cranston basically did not Got a few words of affirmation, which is why Hollywood always has an implicit standard for an actor's prime.

After this degree, both the role and the salary have dropped steadily, and there may not be supporting roles to play.

However, this questioning is actually a good thing for Firefly.

The drama has not yet been released, but it has become popular first. There is a famous saying in the field of public relations that black and red are also red.

Controversial, influential, as long as this kind of black can be washed a little bit, you can get much more than what you lose.

Brian, who was at the center of the storm, didn't feel any pressure at all.

His mentality is very good, perhaps because of the past that has been neglected and unplayable all the year round. After the filming of the series started, he was quickly immersed in the excitement of playing the leading role. , Is it cool to have a leading role?

The first follow-up of the camera at any time, as long as he is present, is the only central point, and the scenes of the episodes are all arranged according to his scenes...

It has to be said that everyone is right to want to be the protagonist, it is completely two worlds from the supporting role.

Don't say that only green leaves can make safflower more beautiful. If it can be a safflower, who would want to be a green leaf?

In the old town, in a leased residential building.

Several supporting actors are rehearsing their positions and pairing their lines under the command of the assistant director.

Bryan sat on the side, director Mark Tetotu talked to him alone, and the make-up and costume staff next to him also surrounded him.

Among the actors, no one is very famous, and the principle of Mark and Blake's selection is to pass the image and acting skills.

Therefore, apart from Lao Bai, who is the original and appointed Brian, several of them have changed candidates, but they are all suitable. The salary is cheap, and the price of each episode is basically about 4,500 US dollars-American TV series by episode Count the money.

Everyone ready, Breaking Bad Act 7 Scene 2,-

As the clerk knocked off the slate, a group of people were celebrating Lao Bai's birthday in the living room of Lao Bai's house.

This episode is one of the most embarrassing scenes in the early stage of Lao Bai. On his birthday, his wife and son both cast their eyes on his brother-in-law, and no one is really happy for him.

Old Bai's sad and forced smile expresses the character's anguish at once.

The atmosphere was fun, but Lao Bai was suffering.

Seat two, a close-up of Brian.

Mark sat behind the director's monitor to direct the camera movement, while Lyman watched patiently.

After this period, the actors quickly touched up their makeup, but their eyes still inevitably turned to Lehmann.

A well-known director came to visit the class, which was enough to make everyone in the field feel respectful and cheered up to perform.

But Lehmann didn't say much, and didn't hinder Director Mark's command.

In fact, he has accumulated a lot of experience on the set, and the scheduling is very organized.

Wait another 2 minutes, everyone is ready, and we start shooting the next shot.

After a few days of running-in, the crew members of Breaking Bad have a certain tacit understanding. The shooting progress is actually relatively smooth, and it is only the first three episodes of the pilot broadcast, so the preparation work will be easier.

After all, if it is broadcast while filming, for the average American drama crew, at least two episodes of footage need to be produced a week.

The tour ended, and the next day, Blue Butterfly Pictures released the first 4.5-minute trailer of No Country for Old Men on major TV stations.

Since the film is multi-line and the plot is integrated, it is not easy to cut a more exciting and selling trailer for this film.

Therefore, the first version of the trailer only pointed out a few characters in the play and a small part of the coin guessing dialogue. Although it looks cloudy, it can also be seen that the film is a western crime theme.

The characters in the movie have their own characteristics. Of course, the one that most attracts the attention of the audience is definitely the killer Anton played by Javier Bardem. The forked mushroom head is really ugly and impressive.

And Lehmann has directed similar crime themes since Bad Guy, which has also aroused the expectations of most fans.

This kind of talk-raising has always been the easiest and most effective way of marketing.

And the trailer is also played out by many movies, and some bad movies are even joked that the whole essence is in the trailer, and the trailer is better than the main film.

In short, after a little more than two weeks of building momentum, on May 24, the film will officially debut in North American theaters.

And in May, the Cannes Organizing Committee made several calls, urging Lehmann to go as soon as possible.

He had to put aside his company affairs and prepare to go to the film festival as a member of the jury of the non-competition section.

May 10.

Lehmann and his party rented a Gulfstream businessman to fly to Paris and then to Cannes.

In the cabin, the space between the seats is spacious enough, after all, there are only 12 positions in the whole.

Among them, Lehman, Eva, Thomas and Ryan occupy four, and Liam, the distribution president of Blue Butterfly Pictures, also took an assistant to find suitable film sources, plus Heath Ledger, Javier -Baden, Tommy-Lee-Jones, Josh-Brolin and other leading actors, all 12 seats were not filled.

Everyone took off at one o'clock in the afternoon, and after about 9 hours of flight, they arrived at Paris International Airport.

After coming out, I walked through the VIP channel and was immediately treated by a French studio.

Speaking of which, the people who greeted them were all ordered by the company's top management, and they were at least from the management level.

After all, there is cooperation between Lehman and them, and the screening of The Walking Dead is more popular than the previous season, and the ratings have not dropped below 6. Everyone has interests and makes money. Naturally, they have a warm attitude... ..
