Chapter 154: Startled

"It seems to be evacuated over there?"
Standing on a slightly higher slope, Sean Connery looked at the set of "Saving Private Ryan" and said to Mel Gibson, "It seems they are going to be forced to change their plans."
The old man rubbed his beard, his face that had been gloomy in recent years, he rarely showed a hearty smile, brighter than the sun near noon, what could be happier than seeing his dead opponent unlucky?
"These are just small tricks." Mel Gibson didn't seem to care much. "They will adjust it soon."
Although it can cause some trouble to the young director he doesn't like, Mel Gibson understands that this is not a big deal. The opposite crew will soon be adjusted, and it is impossible for "Brave Heart" to be every day. Let the horses be nailed to this place. According to the original plan, after a week of shooting here, "Brave Heart" will end all filming work, and if everything goes as smoothly as today, it may be completed in about four days.
He remembers the name Duke Rosenberg very clearly. In recent years, no matter how ignorant people in Hollywood, they have also heard of him. The opponent sprang up too fast. In just a few years, he created hundreds of people. Ninety-nine out of every Hollywood director will never get ★, commercial results.
If Tom Cruise is the representative of the "Breasts" among the actors, then Duke Rosenberg is definitely the representative of the director "Breasts".
Mel Gibson never concealed the fact that he did not like him. This was not only due to the fact that the other party rose too quickly, and he was born not to like them, people who had struggled for more than ten or even decades to succeed, as well as the relationship with the brokerage company behind him. Opposition, and conflict at the Cruise party.
If you want to survive in the Hollywood circle, there is always fighting. Mel Gibson would be happy to bring some trouble to Duke Rosenberg.
In fact, in his heart, what he most wants to do is to overwhelm each other with a movie. Now both of them are directors. In the end, they have to rely on the work to speak. If "Brave Heart" can win the box office and word of mouth, "Saving Private Ryan" ". His mood will be more comfortable.
It is a pity that "Saving Private Ryan" has not announced a specific release date so far, and it may be difficult for the two to meet head-on.
For the rebellious and arrogant Mel Gibson, this is definitely a pity.
The two did not stay for long. Mel Gibson went behind the director's monitor and was busy, while Sean Connery followed the assistant to the trailer to make-up, and then he had his role in the scene.
Although the image of a gentleman comes entirely from the creation of caa, Sean Connery's basic professionalism is still good, and now he does not have much capital to speak of. If you want to re-establish yourself in Hollywood, hard work is indispensable. Sean Connery, who has been in Hollywood for decades, still understands this very well, so the following horseback riding scene is ready to be completed in person.
Perhaps the horse galloping scene needs a stunt stand-in to complete, riding a slow ride is still not difficult for him.
After receiving the black horse from the horse trainer, Sean Connery patted the horse's face affectionately. The black horse snorted, as if responding to Sean Connery's movements. One person and one horse are exceptionally harmonious.
"Sean..."
The sound of an associate director sounded on the set, and Sean Connery turned over. Maneuvering the horses vigorously, walked to the camera, joined the other actors, and prepared to start shooting.
Soon, the filming kicked off.
Surrounded by several attendants, Sean Connery rode towards the Scottish village. Although his expression is serious and his eyebrows are slightly anxious, the pace of the horse team is not very fast...
The camera slid across the track and followed the horse team closely. Mel Gibson looked at the picture on the monitor. Nodding lightly.
Sean Connery's acting skills are average, and his public image has completely collapsed in recent years, but the gentleman temperament he has cultivated over the past ten years is still there. It is still very easy to play a Scottish nobleman. This should be done once.
Just as Mel Gibson was thinking about it, there were intensive gunshots in the distance. The gunshots were so loud, as if a fierce battle in World War II was fought nearby...
"Cut..."
"Boom..."
Mel Gibson just called to stop, when the earth-shaking explosion reached his ears, the sound was louder than the thunder, the earth seemed to be trembling, and his crew immediately came to a halt!
The sound of the explosion has not disappeared. The cry of horses that are crazier than the explosion sounded. Several well-trained horses neighed one after another. Even people like Mel Gibson who didn’t know much about horses could hear panic and panic. confusion……
These horses are indeed well-trained, but they are not real war horses. Where can they stand such a fright? Some neighed and whirled around, and a few were obviously frightened.
"Boom..."
There was another explosion, which seemed to be the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the panicked horse was completely out of control.
The timid horses’ feces and urine flow, the odor and the smell of urine spread tens of feet in a radius, but compared to the few horses that have been frightened and have been spinning around in place, they brought only a trivial trouble!
What happens to some horses being overly frightened? Surprised!
Unfortunately, the horse under Sean Connery's crotch became one of them.
Although the shocking horse is far from the exaggeration shown in the film and television works, the dark horse clearly entered a state of unconscious madness. It took only two seconds to lift Sean Connery off the horse. , Then knocked over a camera of the crew and rushed towards the periphery of the set.
The sudden change caused many people to panic. Even though Sean Connelly screamed constantly, no one responded temporarily. The horse trainer seemed helpless and could only chase after him in vain.
However, this was not done yet. The sound of guns and explosions came from afar again. The sound was so loud that it was even worse than the thunder of summer.
Mel Gibson stood there and yelled hoarsely, trying to control the scene, if people could understand him, where would the frightened horses ignore him.
The sound of horses, howls, footsteps, and the sound of gunshots in the distance constitute a peculiar symphony on set...
Lying on the cold ground, Sean Connery was covered in cold sweat. He only felt the pain in his right leg. He saw a few frightened horses running by, trying to get up and hide to a safe place, but found his right The leg didn't need any strength, it seemed to be broken.
"Help! Help..." he shouted with all his strength.
But the set was in chaos because of avoiding Jingma, and few people noticed him.
The chaos lasted for nearly ten minutes, and was controlled by Mel Gibson and several other producers' screams. Several people who fell from the horse were still lying on the ground for the time being, but doctors hurried over. They are already being checked.
"Boom..."
There was a fourth explosion in the distance, and Mel Gibson looked at him with great eyes. Even at a considerable distance, he could see the thick smoke and dust rising into the sky. It seemed that there was a real war.
His eyes widened, his palms clenched into fists, and his short career as a director also brought him some benefits. Knowing that he must control himself now, even if the anger burning in his chest is enough to burn the entire set, he must try to stay calm. .
"!" He cursed in a low voice.
Mel Gibson was not scolding others, but himself. He scolded himself for being stupid. Under the agitation of Sean Connery, he ignored the fact that the director next door was recognized as an explosive demon!
"Is the injured person serious?"
Seeing executive producer Bruce Davis approaching, Mel Gibson asked concerned, "Will it be delayed?"
"Very troublesome."
Bruce Davis frowned, "The two stuntmen just had skin injuries and will recover soon. Sean Connery's situation is not very optimistic."
Hearing this, Mel Gibson looked not far away, and several doctors were still checking Sean Connery.
"He seems to have broken his right leg." Bruce Davis relayed the doctor's words, "It is probably a comminuted fracture. With Connery's current age, it is very difficult to recover. If there is a slight mistake..."
Having said that, he shook his head, "Connery still has some scenes not filmed."
No crew wants to see the actors get injured. After all, it is a trouble if it is not done well, but if someone is injured, the plan should be changed as soon as possible to avoid too much influence on the crew.
Mel Gibson knows this very well, "His remaining scenes are running out. I'll find a solution."
Compared with the loss of money, the crew can't afford to delay time. Bruce Davis nodded, "I will inform Paramount Pictures and Caa."
Transporting the wounded, dealing with the scared horses, cleaning up the excrement and urine, the set of "Brave Heart" gradually returned to normal, but Mel Gibson was unable to shoot normally. Needless to say, the scenes of the horses, even those scenes without horses, were all suffered. Seriously, the sound of guns and explosions can be eliminated by later silence, but these sounds that are inconsistent with the medieval atmosphere will always make actors appear.
After several trial shots, the work could not go on at all, and the filming of "Brave Heart" was about to end. Even if there was nothing to film if the shooting plan was changed temporarily, Mel Gibbs had to find Bruce Davis.
"We are about to end the filming soon." He said to the producer, "Can't wait any longer. You go to negotiate with the crew of "Saving Private Ryan". Also, can we complain to the relevant trade union?"
"It's hard!" Bruce Davis shook his head. "Even if you complain, there will be no results."
Mel Gibson's face was very ugly. After waving his hand, Bruce Davis took his assistant to the set of "Saving Private Ryan". (To be continued...)
