After April Fool's day, it took about 10 days to prepare, "Shawshank Redemption" began shooting at Mansfield state correctional institution in Ohio. In addition to the high efficiency of Lafayette and others, Adrian was able to arrange everything in such a short time. For example, Adrian decided to shoot prison scenes in Mansfield state correctional institution at the beginning, and convinced Tim Robbins to play the role.

Among the appointed actors, Morgan Freeman and James Whitmore, who later made up for it, readily agreed. Bob Gunton, though considering for a while, also gave a positive doctor. Within one year, the ability to direct and produce two films with both word-of-mouth and box office, and the title of "ghost director" added a lot of weight to Adrian.

However, Tim Robbins rejected the character in his first contact, and replied that the character was not suitable for him! Adrian, who was drinking water, almost didn't come out of his mouth when he heard the news. It was so funny - just for him - that after a long time of depression, Adrian simply called on the door.

"He helped those people feel good again. He showed a glimmer of hope to those trapped in the system. He was painfully tolerant and unyielding and perfect. I can't think of it, Tim. I can't think of anyone more suitable than you In Tim Robbins' house on floss street, sitting on the sofa, tasting each other's Life partner, also known as Susan Sarandon's black tea, Adrian said with both voice and emotion.

"There are many more actors in Hollywood who are better than me, aren't they?" Robin's answer seems to have not changed, but obviously should have been moved, but do not know why he refused.

"Yes, I admit, for example, at first I thought about inviting Tom Hanks to play the role, but in the end I thought you were the best. I don't know why, Tim, I've seen almost all of your shows, from "falling from the sky" to "big mouth man," and even "super player," which came out a few days ago, and frankly, none of the images fit. But my instincts tell me that you are Andy, who is patient and never gives up Adrian continued in a very serious tone, "I trust my instincts, so I didn't even ask you to come in for an audition."

At this point, he turned to Susan Sarandon: "isn't it, Susan? Some birds can't be caged. Their feathers are too bright. When they fly away, you know in your heart that it's a sin to lock them up, and you'll be inspired by it. Isn't Tim such a bird

Although Adrian didn't know why Robbins refused, he also knew the reason why he would break through from the flank if he could not. Sure enough, Sarandon, who had read the script, began to persuade Robbins after thinking about it. They went to one side and argued in a low voice for a long time. Finally, Robbins agreed to Adrian's invitation.

Later, he learned that Robbins would refuse the invitation mainly because he wanted to spend a few days at home with Sarandon after the promotion of "super player". Since Sarandon suggested that he should follow up, there was no reason to delay.

"Everyone's attention, this is the first scene of shawshank redemption. I hope you can take this opportunity to cooperate more. Thank you." Adrian, standing on the elevator, yelled at the crowd in the clearing with a big horn.

The first scene is Andy's time in prison. Adrian chose this scene because of his better control. I hope these extras can make good use of them.

Although the external scene of Mansfield Texas penitentiary remains good, many films have been shot here, but the interior is really terrible. If it is redecorated, it will cost much more than building it in the studio, so we can only shoot the exterior scene here. However, except for a few scenes, all the outdoor scenes are basically large scenes with a large number of people, and there are not enough extras. Adrian even contacted the education management office and asked their staff to come and join them temporarily. With so many people together, if there is a slight problem, they may have to be remade.

"Let's get ready. We'll start shooting in 10 minutes." Adrian uses the walkie talkie to contact the people below. He stands on the elevator and is ready to take the camera to shoot in person. As he said to Spielberg before, he still lacks the scheduling of the big scenes. If he can take a good shot this time, he can basically get started.

“action!” With this cry, the studio began to shoot. This is a panoramic shot from the front of the teaching and management office, crossing the playground around the wind, and then moving to the gate of the barbed wire fence and stopping. It is a great test for the camera owner.

Adrian is the first time to shoot down from such a high place. It is impossible to say that he is not nervous or afraid. But when he picks up the camera, his negative emotions disappear and the rest is shooting.

Maybe there is something idealistic in my heart. After filming and getting off the elevator, Adrian had some self mockery in mind.

There's nothing wrong with this shot - if it's still messed up when it's well prepared and doesn't need any acting skills, just extras running around, then the director and the producer are useless - but in the next shot, it's a lot of different situations.Because the time is set in the 1940s and 1950s, all props must conform to the characteristics of the times. Clothes and other things are OK to say, but transportation is very troublesome. Most of the vehicles of that time were in museums or private collections, not to mention prison escort vehicles. Although TOEIC got a car to drive before shooting, it was so old that it broke down three or four times at a distance of dozens of feet.

In addition, there are many people in the laughing ground and mispronounced lines. Some people even pushed down some temporary barbed wire because they were too excited. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Although he had anticipated this situation before shooting, Adrian was still depressed and had to endure the nature of shooting again and again. What's comforting is that both Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, or James Whitmore and Bob Gunton are excellent actors. Tim and Morgan, in particular, simply grasp the characteristics of the characters, so their shots are relatively smooth.

"Why in such a hurry? Because I don't have much time, in my plan, it would be great to finish shooting on location in three weeks and finish shooting indoors in three weeks. " Faced with Nathan White's question, Adrian replied.

Nathan, a producer sent by universal, reports the crew's financial expenses to the company. At the beginning, globegroup hesitated about whether to invest. They thought Adrian was going to adapt a horror novel by Stephen King. Judging from his previous ability, it was definitely worth investing. But when they found the novel, they found that it was one of Stephen King's worst novelettes, which made them very embarrassed.

As we all know, Stephen King is most famous for his horror novels, but because of this, he is often criticized by mainstream critics. Although Stephen King didn't pay attention to it, he was bound to get angry after a long time, so he simply wrote a few novelettes that had nothing to do with ghosts and Demons - except for the last one which involved some mystics - and published them in volumes. Unfortunately, after the publication of his painstaking collection, the publisher only said to Stephen King: you continue to write horror.

This is a great blow. Stephen King has never written a similar comparative literary novel since then, and seldom mentions this novella. So Adrian is surprised that Lafayette can get the right to adapt Shawshank's redemption in such a short time.

In the face of this situation, the global side is in dispute. The original sales volume of this collection is really bad, and Adrian is still a newcomer after all. If "two big guns" and "memory fragments" were made by him within two years, universal would not hesitate to blog about it, but now no one knows what Adrian can shoot, and the qualification is sometimes so wonderful. Fortunately, a word from Bertrand, who was finally consulted, gave them confidence.

"Think, gentlemen, what was he doing when we wanted to get scream and American pie from him?" That's what Bertrand said.

Think about it. How many directors in Hollywood can be like Adrian? And he seems to be planning to work with Spielberg, so globegroup finally invested 10 million yuan, and sent Nathan only to report to the company in order to show trust.

"You're going to finish the film in six weeks? But the schedule says two months. " Nathan looked a little surprised. Originally he just saw Adrian complaining and wanted to come over and have a chat.

"The plan is always for the worst," Adrian shrugged. "As long as you stay in good shape and make no low-level mistakes, I can definitely shoot all the shots in six weeks."

"But..." Nathan made a gesture and didn't know what to say. The investment of more than 20 million yuan in Hollywood can be regarded as medium investment. However, the investment, speed and quality of film making are never in direct proportion. It seems that Adrian used to shoot fast before, so he wants to do it now, but

"In my hands, speed is proportional to mass." As if he saw what he was thinking, Adrian laughed. "I know you may not believe it now, but Nathan, I'll prove to you that I'm a miracle maker."

With that, he walked to the camera without looking back, clapped his hands and yelled, "OK, guys, it's time to rest. Let's go on!"
