"Best of Hollywood ( Find the latest chapters!
After eating a delicious breakfast in the morning, the two simply cleaned up and went to the set together. They were very generous and did not hide their relationship at all.
Very ordinary relationships between men and women abound in Hollywood crews.
Work is work and life is life.
Ryan has always been very clear, and will not relax his requirements on Charlize-Theron because of her catwalk show last night.
However, Nicolas Cage seems to have a cold today, so Ryan can only temporarily change the shooting plan,
Well, it looks like a crow's mouth.
But when the filming started, Ryan encountered a problem. The young actor Helen hired, even though he was over ten years old, still had problems.
In the first scene, the performance of the young actor was barely passable.
But then, in the scene where the little Truman caused his father to drown because of his naughtiness in the script, Ryan just yelled to start, and the little actor immediately turned pale, and his whole body was soaked in the water, at a loss for what to do.
"Stop!" Ryan could only yell to stop again, rubbing his temples impatiently.
To be honest, he can tolerate the clumsy acting skills, at worst, he can take a few more shots.
But the young actor in front of him is obviously not a problem with his acting skills, but rather afraid of water.
Ryan had asked people to reduce some water as much as possible, but when his whole body was soaked in the water, his face was still pale.
Facing an underage child, Ryan couldn't say anything, and couldn't even get angry. In desperation, he walked over and asked, "My dear, it seems that you are a little afraid of water."
The little actor nodded vigorously, looking at the pool built not far away, his face turned pale again.
Seeing this, Ryan stood up, shook his head, and said to Gail-Anne-Hurd, "Let Helen change to another young actor."
Fear of water may not be an unsolvable problem, but the crew doesn't have time, so the best way to wait for a young actor is to replace them directly.
What's more, when signing the contract, there are special clauses in it. Once the normal shooting cannot be carried out, you can choose to negotiate to terminate the contract.
"I'll notify Helen immediately." Gail-Anne-Hurd agreed, then turned and walked towards the distance.
All the extras, background cloths, and some less important small roles in the crew are all from the Star Brokerage Company, so Helen has been traveling in two places these days.
"Take a break for half an hour, let Sophia inform, and change the shooting plan in the afternoon, and shoot the baby first." Ryan had to change the shooting plan again.
The crew is most afraid of shooting shots of babies, underage actors, and animal actors; according to the script, it needs to be filmed from the birth of the male protagonist until he grows up to adulthood, and must deal with babies and underage actors.
The only good thing is that there are not many shots of babies, and there is no need for any performances, just showing their faces.
One morning passed, only a few shots were taken, and more than half of the shots may need to be re-shot.
Just after lunch, Helen hurried over.
"Sorry, I'll ask someone to audition again." Helen felt a little helpless about this, afraid of water?
When he was auditioning, at most he was watching his acting skills, who would have thought that he would be afraid of water.
"By the way, you can read this first!" Helen took out a script while speaking.
Ryan took the script and glanced at it, and said a little strangely: ""The Kingsman"!"
"Project Columbia!"
"Yes." Helen didn't seem to see Ryan's weird expression, and said, "Columbia wants to create an action comedy, and you are one of the director candidates."
"Reject it, just say that I don't have a schedule for the time being."
"Remember to be more tactful." Ryan didn't bother to think about it, so he chose to refuse directly.
"Ace Correspondent", a project invested by Columbia, with a budget of 47 million US dollars, seems to be a pretty good project.
But in fact, Kim Carrey's salary alone is as high as 20 million US dollars. If Ryan's director's fee is added, it will reach a very astonishing figure.
Unless Colombia can add additional funds, otherwise, it will be very difficult to achieve the expected shooting effect with the original investment budget.
Even if Ryan is faced with a film where the actors' remuneration almost exceeds the shooting cost, there is no guarantee that the box office can recover the cost.
A non-sequel film, non-adaptation of the novel of the same name, non-commercial production with an investment of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, the starring salary of the film is as high as 20 million U.S. dollars, it is a joke.
However, Columbia has done a lot of things like this, and I have to say that Sony is really rich.
"I will reject Columbia for you." Helen agreed without any attempt to persuade her.
Obviously she is not very optimistic about this project.
Furthermore, Ryan's current shooting task is very heavy, and it is impossible to be distracted.
After looking at the time, Ryan stood up and said, "In the afternoon, I still need to shoot some shots. I need someone to pick up Nancy Utley and Mike Figgis from the airport for me."
The filming of "Leaving Las Vegas" has ended. After simple editing, Touchstone needs to hold a small trial screening for the film. Apart from the leading actors in the film, only a few theater company representatives attended.
This is Canada, not Los Angeles. It is impossible for Touchstone to invite many movie fans, film critics, and media reporters to participate.
Even Monica Bellucci didn't come over. In addition to rehearsals, she also needs to participate in professional training, so she can't spare time.
Helen nodded in agreement, stood up and said goodbye to the crew, she needed to leave for the airport.
The shooting in the afternoon was relatively smooth. The baby actor hired by the crew, accompanied by her parents, shot several scenes one after another.
For this, the crew needs to pay $1,000 in remuneration.
The salary of baby actors has never been cheap, and they were found locally in Toronto. Her parents insisted on 1,000 dollars and would not let go. In order not to waste time, they had to agree.
As for why he didn't choose the actors under Star Brokerage Company!
It’s very simple, you can’t find a baby actor from Los Angeles just for a baby with only a few shots, and pay at least two round-trip air tickets, accommodation, food, etc. in addition to the film salary .
Another point is that she is a girl, not a boy. Anyway, she looks like a baby, and it is difficult to distinguish between men and women.
In the evening, Ryan ended the filming half an hour earlier and asked the crew to start packing up the props. He, Nicolas-Cage, Sophia, Gail-Anne-Herd and others left the crew.
The small preview screening in the evening is very important, but the focus is not on Touchstone and Nancy Utley, but on several theater company representatives who came together.
Whether or not a film can be a big hit in the end depends on the support and attitude of the theater company, in addition to the plot content and the distribution company.
If it is a work that seems to be 100% off the street, no matter how hard the distribution company works, the theater company will not produce too many screens.
Of course, "Leaving Las Vegas" is not a commercial film, but an art film. Even if the theater company is optimistic, it will not give too many resources in the end.
The main purpose of this test screening is to discuss with the theater company about long-term screenings.
Art films generally choose to be released at the end of the year, and "Leaving Las Vegas" is no exception. The annual Oscars ceremony will be held in mid-March of the next year. That is to say, the film needs to extend the screening period, at least It won't be released until early April next year.
This needs to be negotiated with the theater company in advance. After the first wave of movie viewing is over, only a few screening halls need to be left to play with a bunch of art films in turn until the Oscar nomination list is announced next year. , Temporarily increase the screening scale to earn the last wave of box office.
