Nine Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Into the Play Method

The day after the "Beverly Girls" and "Desperate Housewives" celebratory parties, although it was Sunday, Eric had already started formal preparations for the start of "Iron Man" shooting.

Filming will begin with the scene in the cave after Tony Stark was kidnapped.

The interior of the cave was built entirely in Firefly Studios. Even if it was a short-lived exterior shot, it was planned to be shot only in the mountains of eastern California. It can be said that, in addition to the scheduled scenes at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the entire movie, other None of the scenes leave California.

This can also adapt to Eric's other work schedules to the greatest extent. Although everyone hopes that Eric can let go of everything and devote 100% to the film, everyone also knows that this is not realistic.

Firefly Studios, the time has finally come to the first day of the official launch of "Iron Man".

Hollywood movies don't have a very serious opening ceremony. Eric feels that this should be a big reason for most crew members to do film shooting as a daily job.

The Hollywood film industry system is very mature. Most of the crew members are like other office workers. They work from 9 to 5 and work eight hours a day without special time slots, so they will not have too much trouble with a movie. Great feeling.

In the huge No. 7 studio of the studio, because it was the scene where Tony Stark was kidnapped and trapped in a cave, not many people participated in the filming.

Director Joss Whedon discussed with the cameraman, gaffer and others for a while about the first shot that was about to be shot, and then walked to the two actors who were facing the scene.

The actor who plays Dr. Ethan, who was kidnapped with Tony Stark, is Ed Harris, a Hollywood veteran who won best supporting actor two years ago for "Apollo 13." nominate.

At the beginning, together with several senior executives of Firefly, Eric urged Eric to play Tony Stark himself, but when things came to an end, Joss Whedon felt a lot of pressure in his heart, and even faintly regretted his original decision.

Compared with Eric, who has already created a series of box office miracles, he can only be regarded as a rookie director.

Joss Whedon could even feel that the attention of many staff on the field was on Eric.

Obviously, in this studio, Eric's one sentence is definitely more effective than his ten sentences. The same is true. This morning, many senior executives of the Firefly Group and other messy people who knew that Eric will play Tony Stark in person came over to watch the fun under the pretext of visiting the class. One of them is bigger than the other. , Joss Whedon thought he could not offend anyone, but Eric drove everyone away with a single word.

"Jos, are you going to start filming?" Eric, who was sitting in a folding chair, took the initiative to stand up and asked when Joss Whedon came over.

Eric can naturally feel the pressure of Joss Whedon right now, but he didn't say anything to explain it. He just took the initiative to show his respect for his directorship through some small details.

During the preparation of the film, Eric had already recognized Joss Whedon's shooting concept. As long as Joss Whedon did not suddenly change his style during the filming process, Eric planned to focus on being his male protagonist. Possibly not meddle in things outside of their authority.

Eric's small gesture of getting up voluntarily really made Joss Whedon relaxed a lot, nodded and said, "Yes, Eric, it's ready over there.

"

Eric handed a hard-covered notebook in his hand to Caroline next to him and said, "Let's go there then."

In the plan, the first scene shot was the scene where Dr. Eason operated on Tony Stark.

Caroline watched Eric, Joss Whedon, and Ed Harris walk to the filming site together, but stayed in place with the hardcover notebook that Eric had just handed her, and did not follow.

Melanie walked in from the outside with a coffee pot in her hands. Seeing the crowd that was already busy, she quickly stepped up to Caroline's side, put the coffee pot down, looked at the crowd not far away, and asked curiously. : "Are you going to start?"

"Yeah," Caroline nodded, stood and watched for a while, the girl sat down again, but her eyes still did not leave Eric's figure not far away.

Melanie was also sitting next to Caroline. Seeing Eric taking off his coat and lying on the operating table with his upper body topless, he couldn't help but say, "Boss's body is so good, I really want to touch it."

Caroline rolled her eyes at Melanie, but her own face quickly turned red, worried that Melanie would see her expression, and turned her head away quickly.

Melanie didn't notice the change in Caroline's expression, she still looked at the busy crowd, and said, "I have to say, Boss looks much more mature with his black hair."

In the West, blond women are often seen as a low-IQ representative of silly white sweetness. Similarly, blond men are also the object of ridicule by many people, which also causes most men who are naturally blond to dye their hair dark. It's more common in Hollywood, where Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Walker, Chris Hemsworth and others are actually blonde, but they're rarely seen in their original form. Hair color.

Eric's hair color is also golden, although this will make him appear more youthful, but he has never had the idea of ​​dyeing his hair again.

In the early years, some media occasionally joked about his hair color, but now, after everyone is used to Eric's personal image, no one talks about it anymore.

In order to play Tony Stark, Eric finally changed his hair color this time, and Tony Stark's standard beard style was also glued on. Due to cleanliness, Eric usually basically does not have a beard, at most only Some light stubble.

Therefore, after Eric completed the makeup, the image was very different from the past, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are two people.

Although most people can still recognize him at a glance, the huge contrast in his image also prevents him from bringing drama to the audience when he plays Tony Stark because his face is too famous sense.

Caroline saw a prop artist apply artificial plasma to Eric's chest, and she couldn't help pinching the notebook in her hand. He must be so uncomfortable for someone who loves cleanliness so much?

A hand waved in front of her, and Caroline withdrew her eyes: "Mei, what's wrong?"

"I'm stunned, did you hear what I said?"

Caroline blinked, nodded and said, "I heard it, but Eric said that he thinks blonde hair is not bad."

Melanie suddenly burst into laughter, stretched her arms around Caroline, pinched her sharp little chin, and said, "Little fool, he likes women with blonde hair."

"No, they, they probably aren't blonde."

Melanie watched Caroline finish speaking with a look of disappointment on her face. She sighed, took the notebook that Eric had just now from her hand, and said, "Hey, let me see what the boss wrote again."

This notebook is Eric's play tool.

Whenever he is free these days, he writes down the details of Tony Stark's character, behavior, language and other details that he has created in his mind.

Caroline and Melanie are Eric's personal assistants, and this notebook is not a secret to them, and Melanie is even more interested in watching the clips Eric's brainstorming.

As soon as she opened the notebook, Melanie heard Joss Whedon angrily announcing the power-on sound not far away, looked up quickly, and couldn't help but stand up with Caroline and get closer.

One of the showrunners quickly walked away from the camera after hitting the slate.

The area of ​​several square meters around the operating table was crowded with five or six actors, as well as photographers, lighting engineers, and sound engineers. The two women could only pass through the crowd and faintly saw Eric struggling on the rudimentary operating table. figure.

Melanie and Caroline have both helped Eric with the lines, and naturally they have read the complete script. They have been in Hollywood for a long time, and it is not the first time for the two women to watch actors perform.

In this scene, Eric should have cried out in pain, but Melanie didn't hear Eric's voice. She couldn't help thinking that the boss must have not performed for many years, and couldn't let go in front of so many people.

Although she often teases her own boss, Melanie is just a standard knife-mouthed tofu-hearted, she is still very worried that Eric will act badly.

I thought I would soon hear Joss Whedon shouting 'ka', but in the blink of an eye, a dull cry of extreme pain broke out, like a wounded and captured wild wolf desperately crashing into a cage Roaring, as if trying to break free.

"what--"

Caroline only felt that her heart tightened a little in an instant, and subconsciously took a step forward and almost rushed over. Although Melanie was also startled, she remained clear and bright, reaching out and hugging the card beside her. Lorraine.

On the stage, several extras who played terrorists saw Eric's outburst and began to struggle violently. Hold him."

Only then did the extras react, and quickly suppressed Eric's struggling hands and feet.

Next to the director's monitor not far away, in less than a minute, Joss Whedon's mood went up and down several times in a row.

At the beginning, Eric performed silently on the operating table. Although his body language was excellent, he did not make a sound, which made him have a similar idea as Melanie. Open, if that's the case, it's a big trouble.

If you want to be an excellent actor, the most basic thing is to liberate your nature. Even if the role is a dog, the actor needs to bark without hesitation.

If Eric looks restrained even when he makes a pained cry, it means that his actor nature has been shut down. Now that the filming has started, the crew does not have time to give Eric a few months to free his nature. If it is another actor, and encountering a director who is more able to adjust, perhaps he can also forcefully stimulate the actor's performance potential through means such as reprimand and coercion.

But, seriously, who in the whole of Hollywood dares to play with Eric Williams like that.

Then, Eric burst out like a wounded and trapped beast, and Joss Whedon's mood that he was about to sink to the bottom was suddenly thrown high, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen, and his face showed a relieved expression.

Thinking about it again, Tony Stark was carried to the operating table in a coma, his body twisted unconsciously after being stimulated, and burst out in a state of severe surgical pain and fear. K's understanding of these details is better than that of his director.

In the final analysis, Joss Whedon had to admit that he had some vague prejudices from the beginning, thinking that since Eric had reached the peak in terms of directing, there would definitely be problems in his acting skills, so the scene just now was slightly Deviating from his imagination, he thought there was a big problem.

Realizing this, Joss Whedon couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Seeing the extras on the monitor who were at a loss for Eric's outburst, he couldn't help but explode his emotions on these people, and cursed in his heart. What a bunch of idiots, what a perfect scene, so ruined.

When Eddie Harris shouted 'hold, hold him' in English, Joss Whedon had to call out the card immediately. Although Eddie Harris responded quickly, he forgot one thing. Several characters around him were Afghans, how could they communicate in English.

Hearing Joss Whedon shouting 'card', everyone stopped in relief. The scene just now was beyond everyone's expectations.

Joss Whedon came over, saw Eric sitting up, and asked, "Eric, how are you feeling?"

Eric saw that the prop master brought a towel over to help him wipe the artificial plasma on his chest, so he quickly took the towel and wiped it himself. Rub your own body.

The crowd dispersed, and Caroline and Melanie also came over. Eric naturally gave Melanie the towel in his hand. The female assistant reached out to take it and carefully helped Eric clean up the towel that was flowing behind him. blood stains.

Allowing Melanie to wipe the artificial plasma on her body, Eric nodded and said, "Not bad, how about you, how is the effect?"

Joss Whedon nodded and said: "Very good, but you may have to restrain yourself a little bit, everyone was scared just now."

Hearing Joss Whedon speak so bluntly, everyone laughed.

Eric also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try my best. This is just the first shot. We'll try it a few more times."

Eric, as the best director in Hollywood, certainly doesn't feel that he can't see where the problem just now arises. However, Eric had no intention of blaming a few extras who made mistakes, which also made Joss Whedon relieved. After all, this is actually the director's power.

A little bit of letting go of all the scruples in his heart, Joss Whedon began to patiently tell a few groups what they needed to pay attention to next, and asked the language expert to temporarily teach Eddie Harris a few words of Afghan language. continue.
