Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 107: bothersome

   The crew of "Happy Death" is not a serious crew.

   Because many people have collaborated in "Fatal Turn", everyone is familiar with each other, and the atmosphere of the crew is much more relaxed.

   However, none of this has anything to do with Toby Maguire.

   As a newcomer, especially a newcomer who plays a leading role for the first time, it is almost impossible not to be nervous.

   Especially when the script in the hands of this newcomer is still incomplete.

   Yes, Toby has never seen the complete script of "Happy Death Day".

   What he knows so far is that he needs to play a nerd.

  -well, according to the description on the script, it should be "cute nerd".

   It's hard to resist Toby. In fact, even the director himself said that his temperament fits this requirement very well. To a certain extent, he only needs to be himself.

   However, the latter request is a bit strange.

   According to the description of the script, his character, Carter, met a beautiful drunk girl Cui at the university dance party, and then took her back to the dormitory.

   If it is a general story, then there must be a glamorous scene behind it.

   Unfortunately, his role is a nerd.

  He just asked the girl to sleep in his bed very gentlemanly, and then folded the jeans that he took off for her.

   Okay, Toby doesn't know what to say when he sees this.

   This is of course what a good person should do.

   But for college girls who are still in the stage of liking bad boys and often pay more attention to "somatosensory", such behavior can only get the sentence "You are a good person".

  ——This can be said to be Toby’s personal experience.

   However, these are actually not the areas that confuse Toby in the script.

   The real trouble is the request of a series of shots after the heroine Cui wakes up——

   "What is meant by "According to the other party's tone and reaction, combined with basic lines, performing corresponding performances"!?"

  ——Director, you are playing with me! ! ?

   Although it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the script, it was just this sentence that made Toby aware of the deep malice and always felt that there was something behind it.

  Especially, that's the end of the script in his hand.

   "Why don't you send me the complete script!?"

   Toby wanted to yell at the director by the collar.

   Unfortunately, he dare not.

   The cold light from the opponent's dark eyes always makes him feel like a little spider swatted by a fly swatter. Compared to running away or resisting, pretending to be dead is his best choice.

  ——Don’t the director like yourself?

   Indeed, at the time of the audition, the director did not show up at all. It was the producer Mr. Westwood and the deputy director Mr. Arsenal who made the judgement.

At that time, facing the beautiful blonde girl Charlize Theron-that is, the heroine-Toby was a little dizzy, which made him feel that his performance was not good, but for some reason, the producer and the deputy director But they are all satisfied.

   "Do they want this feeling?"

   Toby is not very clear.

   But anyway, he got this role.

   At that time, he was very happy. But now it seems that he was too happy.

   "Could it be that the director and the producer have disagreements, and that he is not the leading actor the director wants?"

   Toby had to have such an association, who made him not show up when the director was auditioning!

   But even so, it doesn't help Toby's current situation.

   After all, it is the director who is in charge of him now, and it is also the director who chooses to let him NG or continue to shoot. Toby, as a fresh trash fish, can't get involved in the struggle between the big guys on the crew at all.

   "But, even so, this shot is too weird!?"

   What made Toby feel this way was the scene that allowed him to "play by himself"——

  According to the script, it should be the heroine Tsui who wakes up in his dormitory, and then asks him blankly about what happened last night. Then he left in a hurry without waiting for him to explain clearly.

  ——It should be like this.

   But this Miss Theron, who plays the heroine, does not know if she is too autonomous or something, every time she performs is completely different.

   After a while, he came up and asked his name first, and then asked him for medicine to treat the headache after hangover;

   After waking up, he called out his name directly, as if they had known each other a long time ago.

   back and forth more than a dozen times, each time is different, but the director rarely called "CUT", so Toby can only repeat this strange girl with a confused expression.

  ——Hey, director, is this wrong? ?

   She is not improvising based on the plot, but changing the plot at all! ?

   You don't care if this way! ! ?

   Toby deeply doubted whether he had taken the wrong script.

  ********

   Charlotte watched Toby Maguire's performance in the camera, and resisted laughing.

   Of course he didn’t deliberately play with the future Spider-Man, just like he didn’t deliberately miss Toby’s audition—

   On that day, just in time for him to go to the FBI physical evidence database in the Los Angeles area to "research materials", naturally he had to miss the audition.

   Of course, both the old gun and the producer did not understand this, but after he explained that "he is actually very optimistic about Toby, so in order to ensure the fairness of the audition, it is best to avoid it", the two also accepted.

   So when Toby auditioned, Charlotte was actually trying to get John Hinckley’s gun...

   When it came time for the official shooting, he did not send Toby the full version of the script, it was entirely for the needs of the shooting.

   In fact, among all the actors, except for the heroine Charlize, few people have complete scripts.

   This is because "Happy Death" is a story in an endless loop mode, where the heroine repeats her experience on the day of her death over and over again.

   In this mode, except for the heroine who retains the memory, everyone else is actually performing the same content over and over again, but because the heroine's reaction is different, there are some subtle differences in the corresponding.

  This kind of performance is complicated and complicated, but simple but simple——

   said that it is complicated because if other people's acting skills are not enough, every time there is no subtle difference between expressions and movements. If it is too exaggerated, it will make the viewer feel too overwhelmed.

   This degree is difficult to grasp.

   To put it simply, it is because the actors perform repeatedly in the same set of scenes. Even if they have average acting skills and can repeat them more often, they can always get some good shots.

   So, Charlotte simply took a trick here-he divided the scripts of all the actors except Charlize into two parts.

   Part of the content is that you don’t need to know the overall context of the movie, as long as you follow the heroine’s performance and naturally fine-tune the content.

   In this part of the content, it's a good thing for the actors to be confused~www.readwn.com~ The awkward expression of "you're special code is teasing me", to a certain extent, it is more in line with the needs of the movie.

   The other part is the part that really needs the cooperation of other actors. This part tends to be relatively late, so Charlotte simply didn't post it for the time being.

  ——After all, it’s sometimes fun to appreciate the actor’s awkward expression, isn’t it?

  Moreover, this time the script is definitely suitable for shooting in different scenes. Charlotte is also ready to take the opportunity to give it a try.

   In "Fatal Turn", he filmed exactly according to the plot of the script. This method of shooting is fine in movies with smaller stories.

   But once the blockbuster uses this model, it means that time and cost will rise on a large scale.

the reason is simple--

   If all the shots of the same scene are shot in the same time period instead of being shot separately according to the storyline, the time and cost of repeated setting can be saved.

   What's more, the use of many shooting venues still requires a high rent, which is also not a small expense.

   In fact, except for some stream-of-consciousness directors and novices, most movies are shot by scenes instead of following the sequence of the story.

   Of course, this shooting method has corresponding difficulties.

  Because there is no normal plot process, the emotional brewing of the actors is more difficult than shooting according to the plot.

   After all, the last scene may still be eating, the first scene is to perform life and death, it is definitely not easy to brew feelings.

   In the same way, the director's grasp of the overall rhythm of the plot will be more difficult.

   However, this is the mainstream shooting mode after all. What's more, the script of "Happy Death" is also very suitable, so Charlotte is also going to improve herself this time.
