Chatty Hollywood

Johnny Depp feels that the shooting has gone smoothly recently.

Except that he repeatedly NG because he was absent on the first day, in the next few days, I found him that Iqab Karan felt, and almost all shots were taken.

This surprised Miranda Richardson, who has not yet started filming, but has been on the crew, and bluntly said that Depp's acting skills have been greatly improved.

-You know, unlike Depp and Winona, who are still idols, this is an acting school nominated for two Oscars.

Although she had no box office appeal, she could only play Mrs. Fan Tasso in "Driftwood"-the stepmother of the heroine Katrina-but Depp was convinced by her acting and acting skills.

In particular, Depp himself felt that his acting skills had improved.

"I am really possessed by Rui Fan now!"

Perhaps because of the tomb robbery some time ago, Depp couldn't help but think of Ruifan Phoenix, who had the best acting but died young among his best friends.

"I don't know if I have Rui Fan's level now?"

After thinking about it, he still shook his head.

It's not inferiority or something, it's purely because the role of Iqab Karan is not very difficult, and it is actually not enough to judge acting.

-"Drop Head" is a commercial movie after all.

Moreover, Depp also understands that his smooth shooting in recent days is also related to the relatively simple scenes he shot.

From the beginning of the filming to the present, director Charlotte has been focusing on shooting scenes related to corpses or post-mortems. In his words:

"Drifthead Valley" is not only a detective reasoning story, but also a fantasy horror story. When shooting, first shoot the realistic reasoning part, and then slowly transition to the fantasy part, it will be easier for everyone to enter the scene."

Depp doesn't know if what Charlotte said is true, but it is undeniable that shooting in this order does progress very quickly.

Moreover, in order to let Depp better understand the feeling of reasoning, Charlotte also specially recommended to him reasoning stories such as "Tragedy on the Nile" and "Murder on the Orient Express."

"Maybe you will be able to participate in one of them in the future! After all, these two works by Agatha Christie have been repeatedly adapted several times."

Depp really liked these two novels, although he didn't see any connection between them and the story of "Drop Head".

——Probably it's just a feeling problem!

In fact, although the shooting in recent days has been relatively smooth, Depp's feeling is not too good.

No way, anyone who takes shots related to autopsy and coffins all day long will feel panicked.

Especially the corpse of the crew is also very lifelike.

When shooting on the first day, Depp suspected that it was a real corpse at all.

Fortunately, the deputy director Lao Qiang relieved his suspicion later:

"Although it is not impossible to rent some Jane Du (unnamed corpses) from the hospital for filming, it costs a lot and may be harassed by the police, which is too much trouble! And—"

The old gun pointed at the "lifelike" corpse,

"The "corpse" made by the props team, although it takes more time, but there will never be the corruption and smell of real corpses..."

——Well, this is indeed the point.

Although movies can give people an unusually real audio-visual experience, smell is not included.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, the crew will not make it difficult for the actors' noses when filming.

For instance, at the 67th Oscar that just ended, all kinds of "Shawshank's Redemption", which lost to "Forrest Gump", have the most direct examples in that movie.

——In that movie, in order to escape from prison, the protagonist Andy crawled out of a long sewer full of sewage and feces.

If you use real sewers when shooting, it is estimated that Tim Robbins, who plays Andy, has a professional spirit and will definitely stop acting.

After all, even if he can accept it psychologically, his nose can't stand it!

Fortunately, Hollywood's high-level artificial scenery technology has solved this problem-

Thinking of the director telling himself that the "brown objects" that covered the entire sewer in that scene were actually made of chocolate, and even the weird expression when eating, Depp suddenly felt a little sick in his stomach.

Well, this is actually the usual practice of the props staff——

Plasma is actually corn syrup plus pigment;

The brown excrement is chocolate mash;

The yellow one is butter...

Depp suddenly discovered that most of the actors in Hollywood will go on a diet, especially those high-sugar and high-fat desserts, maybe not just to keep in shape...

At least, he heard that Tim Robbins didn't plan to eat chocolate for a long time after filming "The Shawshank's Redemption."

"I don't want to drink corn syrup anymore!"

After being sprayed with artificial plasma made of corn syrup again, Depp made a similar decision in his heart.

No way, what he is shooting now is a clip of Iqab Karan dissecting the body of the widow Winship. In this clip, the director Charlotte spoofed a scene where the blood spurted from his dissection splashed all over his face. .

To this end, Charlotte also specifically explained it——

"Iqab Karan is a fledgling academic, young man. He just knows how to do post-mortems, but he doesn't do them often. It is reasonable for such a novice to accidentally cut a blood vessel and get sprayed on his face."

"Furthermore, the background of the story is at the end of the eighteenth century. At that time, the dissection technique was still primitive, and the corpse blood covered with blood was normal."

Although his explanation seemed reasonable, Depp still felt that he just wanted to spoof himself.

——Well, Depp also admitted that the audience will find it very interesting to see this spoof shot.

In fact, Depp also found it very interesting.

——If the person who was sprayed with blood is not himself.

Especially, in order to be surprised, when he was sprayed with blood, he had to make a slightly funny face to the camera.

This means that at that moment, part of the plasma will be sprayed into his mouth...

Although my mind knew that it was actually corn syrup, when facing a very real "corpse~www.readwn.com~" and thinking about the story in the script, Depp still felt like he had eaten corpse blood.

What's more, in order to shoot the effect, the plasma has to be sprayed onto the face, which means that this lens is very easy to NG——

After all, although an actor can control his facial expressions, it is difficult to fight his own stress response-when something is sprayed on his face, the first reaction of a person must be to close his eyes and dodge.

This is not in line with the script.

Because in the script, the protagonist Iqab is attentive, and a little scared is dissecting the corpse.

Instead, Depp, who plays him, needs to stare a little bit, making a surprised, helpless and somewhat funny face.

After a few days in a row, Depp finally started to repeat NG again here.

Everyone who was shooting together knew the troubles here. They didn't say anything, just accompany him to come back. However--

This also means that Depp has to be repeatedly "shot" by corn syrup...

"I think my sugar intake must be too high today!"

After this one was finally passed, Depp's expression was a bit irresistible.

What he got was the roar of laughter from the entire crew.

"This paragraph is also recorded and put in the film with the previous NG lens."

Charlotte whispered to the photographer Addison Young.

PS1: "Food Story" is an animated film, many people should have seen it, it is quite interesting. In other words, if I use this name here, it will not spoil everyone's appetite! PS2: In the latest "Murder on the Orient Express", there is indeed Depp, although he was the one who was killed. PS3: I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival. By the way, because there are a lot of things today, the update may be delayed in the evening, maybe it will be more than nine o'clock, I will do it as soon as possible!
