Best Actor

    "You don't need to exert too much force, just show a normal level of panic and a little bit of perseverance hidden underneath, but you will have to sacrifice in other aspects." On the bright hillside, Minghella was talking to Sean like this.

     "No problem, just don't let me go into the water again." Sean responded jokingly.

    "Don't worry, there will be no water in the future scenes," Mingla laughed immediately, "But now you need to roll in the mud."

    "That's nothing," Sean said cheerfully, "It's better to roll in the mud than to get soaked and the clothes stick to your body and can't be taken off."

    The current scene here is that Inman, played by Sean, encountered Hoffman's clergyman who was about to murder a black woman on the way home, so he stepped forward to control the priest and put the Black women were rescued. It turned out that the black woman was the slave of the priest, and the priest committed adultery with her and made her pregnant with a child. In a nearby town, according to local teachings, the priest must be lynched if he does this kind of behavior, so the priest wants to kill people.

    But he had bad luck and met Inman on the way, Inman forced him to send the black woman back with a gun, then tied him outside and wrote him on paper evil deeds and stick to him.

    After that, Inman avoided the security team searching for deserters all the way, and wanted to pass through a pond, but he did not expect to meet this priest again on the way. He was no longer as decent as he was before, dressed in tatters, covered in scars, apparently escaping from a lynching.

    The pastor saw Inman's identity, but probably because of the same fate, or because he was in a desperate situation, he did not betray him, but left here with him. The two had gone through a lot, but when they were resting in a small place, they were betrayed by a rescued herdsman, caught and taken by a patrol of the Confederate Army.

    However, accidents happen at any time. When the patrol caught them and walked back, they accidentally encountered the cavalry of the Northern Army. The patrol in the south wanted to hide and wait for the soldiers of the Northern Army. After leaving, he continued to move forward, but among the other people who were arrested along with Inman and the pastor, some were unwilling to take it back like this, so they ran while they could not make a sound. So, everyone started to flee, and the patrols naturally shot, and the soldiers of the Union Army were attracted. After a chaotic battle, the people of the Confederate Army, together with several prisoners, including the priest, all Killed, only Inman crawled from the dead after the Union soldiers left.

      In the previous paragraphs, in addition to the shots that needed to reflect the style of the small town in the North and South of the United States, the shots that could find suitable environments here, such as ponds and river crossings, were all completed a few days ago.

    Because it was a rush to shoot before, Sean needed to soak in water often, and sometimes he accidentally fell in it and got wet all over. After a few times, even if I put on waterproof makeup, my face won't smear, but the clothes stick to my body. It takes a lot of effort to take it off every time. This is what Sean would say, as long as you don't go into the water. reason.

    "Okay, one last check!" With the voice of the assistant director, people took their places one after another. Shawn, dressed in a bit tattered, was pressed by the makeup artist with a beard. Stand with Hoffman, bracelet and ready to start.

      Now add a beard and make up a little more vicissitudes of life, and it's more manly. Even Hoffman teases him that it's harder to tell his age than himself.

      It is more difficult to tell the age, one can imagine how much. Of course, Hoffman's remarks are mostly joking, and Sean is relatively much more handsome than him, belonging to the type of Sean Connery, the more mature the more flavor and charm.

    Let's not mention this, although the thing to be shot is escape and team conflict, but it can't be difficult for Sean. Although Minghella had already completed some scenes that did not require him to leave the country before he came to the crew to report, the hillside here is much farther away from the forest filmed there, so it was not part of the content to be filmed before, so Sean also Don't be in a hurry to perform.

    And then, in this part of the filming, he basically has no lines, especially in the hillside, so he only needs to use expressions and body language to show the emotions of the characters, and the emotions of the characters are nothing more than fear and unyielding . When he was a rookie actor a few years ago, he could do his best to achieve the effect the director wanted. What's more, he had done a lot of preparations before coming here. He had read the original novel several times - this is also the role of the crew. Give him time.

    So, the film progressed very smoothly. It took about two days to complete this conflict scene, and then moved to another forest with a river to shoot the river crossing and the security team. The shot from the chase. Just crossing the river, no need to go into the water, of course, if Sean accidentally fell into the river during the shooting, that's another story.

    This part of the scene is completed, Hoffman can leave Romania, and some of the remaining scenes will have to wait until the crew goes to Canada.

    When it comes to this, Sean is a little depressed. Why does Mingella have to go to Eastern Europe to shoot?

    "The forest here is more primitive and more beautiful, and there is snow here that can be used immediately." Minggla said so, and Sean could only sigh.

    Seriously, there is no such forest in the southern United States? Even if the south does not have it, what about Montana and Wyoming in the north? And there's snow. In addition, there are also large areas of forests and snow in Canada. As long as you think about it, you can definitely find a suitable location, not to mention that you can get tax rebates to reduce costs when shooting in Canada.

    In fact, the crew is really interesting in Canada's itinerary, and they also invited a Canadian actor to play a supporting role. This actor Sean also knows that he was shot by the villain in "Italian Mission". of Donald Sutherland. There is no doubt that Miramax still thought about filming in Canada to enjoy some tax cuts, but Minghella insisted on filming in Romania.

    Although Sean doesn't know the specifics, the last few sentences are mostly guesswork, but they should be inseparable. It's a well-known fact that Mingella likes live action, and he has also produced two well-received literary films for Miramax before, and he also won the Oscar for best director. The film company must be accommodating to him. .

    If Weinstein were a little tougher, maybe the movie's prospects would be better? Sean had this thought. That's right, he is not optimistic about the prospects of "Cold Mountain". One of the reasons has already been said to Frederick, cost and box office, and getting one is the intuition.

    For his own intuition, he has always believed neither completely nor disbelieving it. This is indeed only the first reaction based on the fragmentary memories of his previous life. God knows how many of these fragmentary memories are his own. Optionally added? But then again, intuition is somewhat well-founded, and I have gained a lot of benefits from following my intuition before, so... it depends on how you handle it.

    Like "Cold Mountain", although the intuition is not optimistic about the prospects, and there is evidence, but it is not too bad, so Sean did not take it to heart, after all, it was Mingella who took the initiative to give him phone.

    Well, without further ado, after Hoffman left, with a few shots of walking alone on the road completed, and some close-up shots of the battle when Minghella felt it was right, Shaw En was given a two-day break.

    This is a real break, unlike before, Minghella said to let him rest, but always called him back after thinking of a good shot.

    "This is also a form of trust in disguise, he thinks I behaved well." Sean, who was leaning on the head of the bed and reading a book, said so.

    "Okay, trust..." Sanders sighed, "But since that won't be the case now, why don't you just hang out?"

    "Well..." Sean put down the book and thought for a while, "There are several reasons, first of all, this town is too small, there are really not many places to go; second, you know , This is Eastern Europe, and security is a problem; again, after the first few tossing, I have become accustomed to it, who knows if Tony will temporarily go back and ask me to come over, so I better stay in the room and read. "

    "Then you stay in the room, I'm going out to see." Sanders rolled his eyes.

    "No problem, I can take care of myself." Sean chuckled, then added heartlessly: "By the way, be careful, don't let some perverts kidnap and play murder games ."

    He got a middle finger.

    After laughing, Sean lowered his head again and opened the book, but instead of continuing to read, he frowned as he thought of something. Although it was just a casual joke before, it seemed to evoke a little memory, it seems... There is a horror movie that is like this. American tourists travel to Eastern Europe, then they are kidnapped and taken to underground clubs to be the prey of rich people. torture.

    The box office should be good, otherwise I won't have such a vague impression. He thought so. It's a pity that I can't think of anything more, which is really depressing. If possible, it is best to make the movie the work of your own film company. Anyway, the established route now is to accumulate through low-cost movies, such as thrillers, or school comedies and vulgar comedies.

      The - both are now 70% spent.
