Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 663 The director is actually pretty good



J-J-Abrams was born in New York City in 1966.

In 1990, he served as the screenwriter of the comedy film Little Thief Gao Sheng;

In 2001, the first TV series Double Spy, which was written and directed by himself, was a great success, and was shortlisted for the best screenwriter in the 54th Emmy Awards;

In 2004, he wrote and directed the first season of Lost, which has a high ratings and won the 57th Emmy Best Drama Director......

It can be said that the screenwriter and directing ability of this man are there, and he is especially good at science fiction and action fields. Being able to take over Mission Impossible 3 is also recognized by both sides.

But Abrams and Tom couldn't really pee in a pot.

One is the director and screenwriter, the other is the starring and producer, the other likes to write and direct, and is very self-conceptual about the project, and the other likes to intervene in the script. ,contradiction.

At first, Tom was able to persuade him well and try his best to achieve unity, but later he found that Abrams was not easy to talk, and the noise was a headache, so he simply intervened in the filming as a producer.

Abrams cherished this opportunity to enter the big screen, he endured it, and in the end, he followed Tom's intentions and became a qualified filming machine, only to further his career as a director.

Then, he took the blame...

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Tom's strength, just doing the things at hand well.

Oh, you were very loud when the movie was filmed, and when the movie failed, you buried your head and pretended to be dead and pushed the blame everywhere?

Abrams didn't say anything in front of the media, but the partnership was definitely gone.

......

On June 7, the city of Nice in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Filming of Untouchable will take place here.

This city, located on the southeastern edge of the Alps, has a complex coastline and is the second largest population concentration in France after Paris. It has a prosperous economy, developed tourism and a suitable temperature throughout the year.

The crew of Untouchable was simply stationed in the northern part of the city.

Lyman was here the day before yesterday, but the crew had already set up the set, set, lighting, and were ready to shoot.

With a smug look on Ryan's face, he reported the entire arrangement to Lyman.

In this project, most of the preparatory links in the middle were arranged by him and Thomas.

Lyman patted Ryan on the shoulder, not stingy in his admiration.

Ryan shook his hand modestly, and he was more interested in introducing how the crew was set up, how much manpower and energy were used, how and how...

Of course, there are also three studios that are very cooperative, otherwise it should not have been so smooth.

Entering the temporary set up studio, Lehmann met another star, Omar-Hee.

This man fits the image of the black domestic helper in Lyman's impression very well. He is tall and strong, with a short haircut and big white teeth when he smiles.

Perhaps because of the color of the skin, the teeth of black people are extraordinarily brighter.

When Lyman went to see him,

He was sitting obediently next to François Crucey, speaking to the lines.

After learning that the director was coming, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: Hello, Director Rust, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will try my best to play the role well.

Oma-Che is a Senegalese. Although it is a pity that he is not an Algerian actor, according to Edmund, there are not many Algerian actors in France.

So, Omar-Hy was picked.

First, the skin color is the same; secondly, Omar-Hyce has acted in many works, although they are all playing soy sauce and playing the villain, but Sheng has accumulated a lot in this regard, and his performance in the audition is very good.

As for the salary, 30,000 euros is enough.

In other words, the entire actor expenditure, including group performances, does not exceed 300,000, which has not yet accounted for 3% of the total budget.

Mr. Crusey, how are you doing?

After chatting a few words with Omar-Chey, Lehmann looked at Francois Crucey.

I'm ready. If you don't come, the script will be ruined for me. The old gentleman said humorously.

In fact, he did attach great importance to the filming of this movie, because the role of Philip was a big challenge to him. He couldn't move from the neck down after being paralyzed. He interprets the inner drama entirely by his eyes and facial expressions. The role is sufficiently understood and substituted.

The next day, Luc Besson came to visit the class.

And the crew has officially started filming...

Over 90% of the shots in Untouchables were shot in Nice, with only a few transition scenes.

Because the filming location is fixed, there is no post-processing that takes energy such as special effects. Therefore, it is estimated that the shooting cycle of the entire film will not exceed 50 days.

Ryman is likely to finish the entire production and push it into theaters before Christmas.

In addition, the three studios asked for people and things, and even arranged street blockades, they could negotiate with the local government, and the crew did not need to worry too much about things other than filming.

Or, it is also the box office income brought by No Country for Old Men, which makes them very optimistic about the shooting of this work. After all, can they make money? They are always willing...

And it is even more impossible for the cast and crew to play big names in the face of a qualified director like Lehmann, and there will be no quarrels and disagreements during filming.

When the first shot was completed quickly, a more difficult set of scenes was about to be shot.

That is the scene of the interview with Dereis, which is roughly divided into two parts.

One is that Dreis is messing around, just wanting to be rejected so he can get government unemployment benefits;

Second, Philip nodded in agreement, the housekeeper's doubts.

This paragraph is one of the most exciting paragraphs in the whole film, and it also called for the theme of the film, so everyone in the crew paid great attention to it.

In the room where the set was rented, Francois sat in a wheelchair, motionless.

Two cameras, one facing the door and one obliquely filming Francois' profile.

Lyman saw a triangle drawn from the sense of space formed by the camera position and the actor's position, and nodded with satisfaction.

On the other side, the field recorder saw Lehman nod, and immediately made a slogan to facilitate the later editing of the selection.

'Untouchable', Act 11, Scene 1,—

As soon as he finished speaking, Omar Xi walked in from behind the door, walking in a condescending manner, his eyes wandering around, while saying that I have been waiting for more than two hours, let me go first, and walk to the housekeeper Philip. In front of him: Hello. You signed this for me.

The black actor who was born in 1978 and is only 28 years old this year has a high-pitched voice. After speaking, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, with a gesture of wanting to cause trouble.

Philip is a rich man. Even if he is paralyzed, he can only be recruited by industry leaders in order to find a caregiver. Obviously, this one is here to make trouble.

The housekeeper suppressed her emotions and said, Please take a seat first.

The housekeeper was played by Emmanuelle Bea, a French actress who was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but she gradually retired as she got older. This time, in the filming of Untouchable, she was I took the initiative to join, because there are not many scenes and it is a cameo, so I didn't talk about the salary at all.

In other words, with the appeal of Lehman, it is actually normal.

If the movie is really successful, it must be much better than this amount of money.

Afterwards, after a discordant conversation, Francois wondered, What are you doing with this piece of paper?

Prove that I came for an interview... In short, you can use any reason for rejection. You don't plan to use me, just sign for me. I have to be rejected three times before I can get unemployment benefits.

Just for unemployment benefits? That means you have no interest in the job at all?

No, there are still some. Omar-hi smiled in a flirtatious tone: I'm very interested in this... I'm very interested.

After he finished speaking, he winked at the housekeeper.

Francois on the side was amused, and the people in front of him showed no sympathy and respect for him. How can I say this feeling, it's very novel...

This scene took two days to shoot.

Francois stood up, moved his stiff legs, and said to Lehmann, It's not a good feeling.

Then you need to exercise more, the body is still very important.

Francois took a sip, Well, it's worth sacrificing a little for this role. I've never encountered such a good play for me in all these years.

It's not easy for an actor to meet a good role...
