Best Actor

    As the time came to February 22, Sean, who had completed the "Fast and the Furious" training and had a good rest, finally went to "Eleven Arhats" which started on February 10 The crew reported that the famous Bellagio Casino or Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

    "Can we really shoot in the casino?" Sean looked around at the hotel that was about to be filmed and asked the people next to him curiously.

    In Las Vegas, slot machines are everywhere, airports, restaurants, hotels, and there is no distinction between hotels and casinos. Any hotel of a certain size will have various gambling services inside. Hotels generally refuse TV or film crews to shoot in-house. Gaming industry groups believe that when customers see their frustrations because of losing money, they will have a negative impact on their business, so there is such a regulation. .

    So, for a long time, most of the time in the TV movie about the situation in the casino, it is set up in the studio to shoot, I didn't expect Soderbergh to actually pull the crew to Las Vegas The famous Bellagio Hotel in Gasth is really surprising.

    "Steven and the Bellagio owner are friends, so he borrowed this place to shoot," Brad Pitt, who was dressed up a bit, explained to him, "Even so, the crew The filming plan of the 2018 was still rejected several times by the casino staff and had to ask the owner for special approval."

     Then he sighed again: "Even if we get permission to close the entrance of valet parking, and there are musical fountains, gardens and even VIP areas, but it is still not enough to take a panoramic view, I can only shoot one or two at the edge."

    This crap. Sean wanted to roll his eyes in his heart and closed the valet parking entrance. Isn't that asking the guests to park by themselves? Not to mention the VIP area, no wonder the filming plan failed. You must know that Bellagio is one of the most famous hotels in Las Vegas. It is basically named after MGM and The Venetian. The musical fountain outside is also one of the famous sights of the casino. It was delayed for a few days. The loss is certainly not small.

    Of course, he still asked in a concerned tone on the surface: "Will this not delay the shooting?"

    "It doesn't matter, it really doesn't work, just build the set in the studio, and the audience won't see it anyway, can it?" Pete shrugged indifferently.

    Well, it's true, even if the camera in the casino can't see the outside view at all - it's true - but as long as the front lens is familiar to people, it can be recognized at a glance that it belongs to The scenery of Las Vegas, the audience will naturally think that this is the casino of Las Vegas, and the function of montage is reflected in this.

    Just, I thought "Eleven Arhats" would be the first movie to be filmed in a casino, but it still doesn't work... But then again, even if you take a few shots while you're at it, it's not a big deal when it comes to publicity. Can you make a sign that was filmed inside the casino? Anyway, the boss and the director are friends, so would they deliberately expose it? Besides, according to the script, the movie can be considered as a promotion in the casino, and this little thing is nothing.

    "Sean, are you here?" While Sean was using his imagination, Soderbergh, who had assigned tasks to the assistants, came over.

    "I just arrived, my assistant went to put the luggage, I'll go to the studio first." Sean replied with a smile, "By the way, congratulations, Steven, last year's two Movies are nominated for the best Oscar, and there are two best directors, and you must be the best director this year."

    "Thank you, it's not yet the awards ceremony." Although Soderbergh waved his hands, the pride in his eyebrows was clearly visible.

    "In the history of the Oscars, there are not many nominations for two best directors at the same time. The Film Academy should give you a golden statue." Sean said seriously.

    "Okay okay, but I won't let you go just because you flattered me," Soderbergh laughed, "Now that you're here, go change your clothes , we're going to let the SWAT team in."

    "You're really saving money, Steven." Sean smiled and went to the locker room.

    The SWAT officers are all wearing fully airtight uniforms, and according to the description of the crew, only Pete and others will be shown in SWAT uniforms, Sean is not among them, so you can give the role to the extras .

    Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, Sean has already mastered his role. Great thief. Although a lot of things have happened since he got the role, and he has received racing training for a period of time, the analysis of the role has never been pulled down. In addition, he has been honed by "Death Illusion" and "Sniper Phone Booth". His personal acting skills have improved again, as long as Soderbergh can control him, then there is no problem at all.

    In addition, "Eleven Arhats" does not require high acting skills. Although it is definitely stronger than "Fast and Furious", it is not enough for him to do his best, so there is no need to worry too much.

    As expected, the next few days of shooting were easy, Sean was mostly done in one shot, and even with NG, it was limited to single digits. Then, through the acquaintances at the previous party, he and most of the actors of the band of thieves began to get acquainted. When he didn't need to shoot, he would occasionally go to the casino to play two games. As for Sean's age...

    "Don't be so serious, this is my first time in Las Vegas, and it's too bad to leave without taking a few bets." Shawn smiled at Sanders who persuaded him Blinking his eyes, "Don't worry, as long as you follow them, no one will notice this. You know, not all laws can be implemented 100%."

    "Well, you only have two months anyway." Sanders at least shrugged helplessly, and then he pulled him to gamble twice.

    The difficulty increased a little after a few days, and Sean had a confrontation with Andy Garcia, who played casino owner Benedict. He played the thief Linus, who was going to pretend to be a casino investigation. For example, Garcia revealed that Frank, played by Bernie Mark, who worked in the casino, was an old man and could not work in the casino. Then, because of skin color discrimination, the other party was angry, and when he was hiding, he took the opportunity to steal the paper of the password written on Garcia’s body. Walk.

    "Do you know Hall? Have you worked together?" Garcia asked calmly in a suit with a big back and a high-class look.

    Sean thought for a few seconds, looking like he was searching for the name in his head, before answering uncertainly: "Well... he seems to have died last year."

    "Cut!" Soderbergh stopped decisively, "Your hesitation is too long, Sean, this will only make the other party suspect you, be more decisive."

    "When I was decisive just now, you asked me to be less hesitant." Sean said irritably.

    "You were too decisive just now, and it is easy to cause such doubts. You must find a balance between hesitation and decisiveness." Soderbergh said.

    "Why does this sound familiar, if I remember correctly..." Sean crossed his arms, "That's what I suggested from the beginning, didn't I?"

    "Yes, but I need to observe the way you perform in detail before deciding which way is appropriate." Soderbergh replied with a smile.

    "Okay," Sean sighed, then looked at him with a thought, "Are you sure the camera was on the previous few shots? Are you kidding me?"

    "How come," Soderbergh laughed, "If you're really worried, just go to the monitor and see what you've done before."

    Sean actually went to see it, not because he was suspicious, but because Soderbergh likes to play too much - to be exact, everyone likes to play. I often make small jokes in innocuous places, for example, after calling the start, calling it stop again and again, and then making people startling all kinds of performances, in fact, the camera is not turned on at all. Or someone in front of the camera forgot his lines, so he started to say some rambling lines in the middle of the scene, which made the people who took part in the scene inexplicably bewildered, so the people around laughed when they saw it.

    Although the pranks are well-intentioned, they don't affect the shooting, and they don't make others angry, but it's not a pleasant thing to be tricked too much. Sean has been teased two or three times in the four days he has been here, and he has also teased others several times, so he has to be careful.

    Soon, this part of the scene that was a little difficult so far was completed. Sean felt a little regretful. He liked the latter part very much. In the office with Garcia and Mark, they used skin color to discriminate. The way to steal the password paper plot, but unfortunately it will be shot in the studio after going back.

    "Do you really like that story, or do you want to say a certain line." Bernie Mark asked him jokingly before.

    "Don't wrong me, Bernie, you know, I love you," Sean said "confessing" with a smile, then glanced at Don Cheadle, "Of course, I too Love Don, his first name is pronounced the same as mine."

    "Shut up, Sean." Cheadle gave him his **** directly.

    "Great, it looks like you guys are looking good." After today's shooting was almost over, the long-lost George Clooney appeared in front of everyone.

    Before Sean came, he and another group went to the east coast. Some of the scenery here is not easy to shoot because of scruples. Soderbergh is in another casino, the Atlantic Ocean in New Jersey. City found a hotel to shoot. There wasn't a lot of scenes, only Clooney was needed, so he stayed there for three or four days and only came back now.

     Coincidentally, another person also came to the crew at this time to report, and as soon as Clooney finished speaking, a female voice rang out: "Aren't you going to give me an explanation, George, You cheated me for $20."

    Then, the only actress in the entire movie, the only female member of the Hollywood 20 million club, Julia Roberts appeared in front of everyone.
