Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 461 Important shots, both grace and power

On the second day, the real highlight of "Source Code" began.

Zhang Xiao and the crew came to a place tens of kilometers away from Los Angeles. There is a section of railroad track specially used for movie shooting, and it is also the place where "Source Code" is used to shoot scenes on the train.

The movie "Source Code" is very special. It has to flash back every 8 minutes, so some scenes are repeated, and only need to be played once, and then edited multiple times in post-production.

The first play begins.

Zhang Xiao sat on the seat, closed his eyes, and leaned his head against the car window, as if he was resting.

After a while, he slowly opened his heavy eyelids, as if he felt something was wrong with the environment, his whole body trembled, and he immediately sat up straight, his eyes looked around, showing shock and confusion.

The standard of a good actor is to see whether his appeal is in place and whether he can make people enter the play quickly. Obviously, Zhang Xiao has easily achieved these two points.

"I have adopted your opinion, very good, thank you."

Anne Hathaway's voice reached Zhang Xiao's ears, looking back at the strange woman in front of him, Zhang Xiao was a little at a loss.

"Your complexion looks a bit unwell, are you okay?" Anne Hathaway saw that something was wrong with Zhang Xiao, and asked with concern.

There was a trace of guard in Zhang Xiao's eyes, he just looked at her and didn't speak.

"Amazing!" Anne Hathaway thought to herself.

She has made many movies and met many actor and actress queens, but none of them can put so much pressure on her like Zhang Xiao.

The male protagonist Sean played by Zhang Xiao, whether it is eyes, movements, or micro-expression processing, is exactly the same as the character image that Anne Hathaway thought of.

Anne Hathaway just met Zhang Xiao's eyes for a moment, and felt that she was brought into the play by him.

This kind of acting is simply too powerful.

The group performers of "Source Code" are basically from the crew of "The Truman Show", and their performances are also very reliable.

When Zhang Xiao was looking around with dazed and panicked eyes, these group performers all set their proper roles in a timely manner.

"Crack!"

With the click of the assistant director.

Zhang Xiao immediately went back to the monitor, and looked at the screen shot just now from beginning to end.

"Director Zhang, how are you?" Assistant Director Lu Wei asked.

Zhang Xiao pointed to his feet on the screen, and said, "What's the matter with the fifth camera, why didn't you take a shot of orange juice spilling on my feet?"

The assistant director Lu Wei immediately asked someone to check, and found that the position of the camera lens was not right, it was slightly up, and only the part above Zhang Xiao's calf could be photographed.

Lu Wei frowned and scolded, "Looks, I see you have done a good job."

The cameraman Rocks came over, and when he saw the position of the camera, he immediately looked embarrassed and apologized to the crew.

"Director, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my work that went wrong."

Lu Wei said angrily: "It is because of your mistake that you ruined the wonderful scene just now. Do you know how rare it is to take one shot to the end?"

"Sorry, sorry!" Cross apologized repeatedly.

He knew that he had made a big mistake this time, so he could only keep apologizing, and everyone looked at Zhang Xiao in unison.

Zhang Xiaodao: "Cross, according to the regulations of the crew, I should have fired you for such a big problem, but since you have filmed "The Truman Show" with me, I decided to give you another You have one chance."

Upon hearing this, Rocks quickly said, "Thank you, thank you, Director Zhang."

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said, "But I want to deduct a week's salary to buy fruit and coffee for everyone, do you have any objection?"

"No, no!" Lockes shook quickly.

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao nodded, and ordered to the others: "Now, rearrange the set and let's shoot again."

"Yes!" He spoke, and the crew hurriedly got busy again.

Anne Hathaway looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Director Zhang, why didn't you fire him? If he was in another crew, Lockes would definitely not be able to stay on the crew."

"And then?" Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I'll hire another photographer? That would be too troublesome."

"In China, there is an idiom called grace and power. It's grace for me to keep Lockes, and it's prestige to deduct his salary. With this two-pronged approach, I believe that Cross' performance will be more serious and hardworking than the photographers hired by the industry."

Anne Hathaway glanced at Lockes who was really fiddling with the camera position seriously, nodded, and said, "Maybe you are doing the right thing."

however.

The second shooting was not very smooth, one of the group performers had a little problem, but Zhang Xiao didn't lose his temper, he just comforted the group performer, and then prepared to shoot again.

The third time it was very smooth, one shot to the end, without any problems.

Only then did Zhang Xiao show a bright smile, and said, "Very good, ready for the next game."

Anne Hathaway, who had been acting opposite Zhang Xiao, was in deep horror at this moment.

Just now Zhang Xiao acted three times, and the techniques and methods of acting were different each time, but no matter what method he used to perform, there was no flaw at all, it was simply the rebirth of the protagonist Sean.

Anne Hathaway, as a capable actress nominated twice for the leading actress Oscar, of course knows how difficult it is, so she admires Zhang Xiao even more.

"Annie, what are you thinking?" Zhang Xiao raised his hand and waved in front of Anne Hathaway's eyes, and said, "We are going to shoot the second scene."

Anne Hathaway came back to her senses, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay!"

One morning, Zhang Xiao filmed four scenes, and then he was going back to the hotel to send Reba to Los Angeles Airport.

But who knows, before he arrived at the hotel, Reba called him.

"On the way, don't worry, I will pick you up right away." Zhang Xiao said.

Reba on the other end of the phone giggled and said, "I'm about to board the plane."

Zhang Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Aren't you on the plane at four o'clock in the afternoon?"

Reba stuck out his tongue and said: "Of course I lied to you, brother-in-law, you should film well, I will definitely take care of my sister's place."

Zhang Xiao knew that it must be Reba who didn't want him to delay the filming time because of sending her to the airport, and said: "Okay, then you should pay attention to safety on the road."

"Okay, brother-in-law, please do your best in filming."

After chatting for a few words, the two hung up the phone.

After Zhang Xiao ate some food here, he began to guide the layout of the set.

At this time, Anne Hathaway immediately went up to meet her and asked, "Director Zhang, is Reba gone?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Well, she has returned to China."

"Okay, I still want to see her off!" Anne Hathaway asked curiously after saying a word: "By the way, Director Zhang, I have something I want to ask you for advice!"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Anne Hathaway said seriously: "I'm curious, why do you play this character in a different way every time?"

"Is there? I didn't pay attention!" Zhang Xiao shrugged.

"Yes!" Anne Hathaway said with certainty: "We are rivals in the play, and no one knows better than me the subtle changes in your performance."

"What surprises me is that no matter how your interpretation changes, it always gives me a feeling that it fits the characters almost 100%."

"I'd love to know how on earth you did it?"
