On January 7th, in a villa in Beverly Hills, "Fengyue Beauty" was officially launched.
Based on the consideration of the fact that the fertilizer does not flow outside the field, many of the supporting roles of "Wind Beauty" are selected from UTA. Kapoor was right at the beginning. These people have no problem in acting, just lacking opportunities.
Even if they can get a small character with only a few lines in the new film directed by "The Little Devil", these little actors are quite satisfied. Eric did not promise anything to everyone.
As long as "Wind Beauty" is released, UTA's signing actors will find out how lucky they are. In the past, because of the popularity of "Feng Yue Qiao Jia Ren", even the elevator operators who only showed several times in the movie finally became a continuous comedian.
Edward Philippe Stuckey, the private lawyer of Edward, is not a suitable actor in UTA. Eric has contacted the original actor Jason Alexander.
Jason Alexander is still an ordinary Broadway stage actor. Although his acting is very good, he has no advantage in appearance. He has played only some insignificant characters in several movies and TV series. I heard that I can get a strong supporting role in Eric's new film, and the other party did not hesitate to join the UTA from the original brokerage company.
Hollywood is such a reality, as long as Jason Alexander succeeds in the future, no one will blame his betrayal, but will envy his good fortune.
In the villa, all the actors were buried, and Eric sat behind the monitor and made an OK gesture to the assistant. The filming officially began.
""Feng Yue Qiao Jia Ren", the first act, the first game, Action!"
The field record slammed down the board and everyone in front of the camera moved.
In the shot, a magician invited from the circus, while speaking lines, skillfully changed the coin magic.
"No matter what they say, the topic is inseparable from money..."
Soon, the lens moved up, the magician pulled a gold coin from the ear of Edward's ex-girlfriend, and Jason's Philippe Starkey appeared in the camera with a smile, and asked a male guest who watched the magic to listen to the hero of Edward. whereabouts.
This is a long shot of nearly a minute, which is difficult to perform and quite tests the ability of the actor to play. In order to take this shot well, I have already rehearsed many times before.
Jason Alexander didn't let Eric disappoint. As the camera moved, Jason in the monitor smiled and spit out a sentence without any hindrance, shuttle between the guests, accompanied by rich and natural. body language.
After Jason kissed the cheek of a woman, Eric shouted with satisfaction: "cut!"
Jason Alexander put the champagne in his hand and smiled at Eric with a smile on his face: "Director Williams, how about the lens, do you want to come again?"
Eric couldn't help but erect a thumb and praised: "Not at all, perfect, this is a good start."
Several members of the crew couldn't help but come together. Eric played back the camera just now. Everyone saw Jason Alexander's performance and started to look at the same place.
After watching the replay again and confirming that there was no need to shoot again, Eric shot the clapping: "Well, the relevant staff immediately prepared for the second game."
Everyone dispersed, Jason Alexander also walked into the villa and Al Pacino and others prepared for the next play.
A room on the second floor of the villa was converted into a conference room, and Al Pacino was reading through the information that I did not know how many times I saw it.
In order to make Al's role more substituting, Eric specially prepared a more than ten pages of information about Louis and Moses. Although the two companies are fictitious, the content is professional. Designed with a company that exists in reality.
The second film was a discussion about the acquisition of Moses. Although the room has been initially remodeled, it took half an hour to work on the layout.
After the filming began, Eric put most of his attention on the first performance of Al Pacino. Al Pacino did not have a few lines in this game, all expressed by expressions and body language. Al Pacino is best at it.
Al's image is very different from Richard Gere in the original edition. Edward is still handsome, but there is more wisdom and indifference in his temperament, and he is less gentle and easygoing. In fact, this is more in line with the script in the Edwards is a cold, like a machine to implement their own plan of merchants set.
Therefore, Eric quickly accepted the new image that Al has shaped.
"cut," after shooting a few shots, Eric suddenly shouted at the beginning of a shot, brows and stood up.
"Eric, is there any problem?" Al Pacino asked in confusion, the first few shots were smooth, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his performance.
Eric shook his head: "Al, it's not your problem." After that, Eric sat behind a blonde at the conference table, and the blonde named Dolly quickly stood up.
Eric nodded and picked up the notebook on the table. Dolly just wrote and wrote: "Dolly, you know, because of your negligence, we have to retake all the shots!"
Dolly apologized nervously: "Sorry, director, I... I can know where the problem is?"
"Your role is a meeting recorder, but in the first few shots, you are a bit absent-minded. Do you know? If this is a real company meeting, you must be fired and see if you write What, 'Can you compare me to summer, but you are more gentle than summer', is this a poem?"
The blonde's white face rose slightly and whispered: "Yes... is Shakespeare's sonnet."
"Well, young lady of literature and art, now, sit down." Eric asked Dolly to sit down again, eating small tofu without hesitation, correcting the sitting posture for himself, and putting the notepad in front of the girl. "Next, remember, don't write poetry again. Wait until all the lines that Al said are written quickly. Do you understand?"
Dolly nodded: "I understand, directed by Williams."
Eric returned to the director's chair and directed everyone to start shooting again. The reason why it is so easy to let go of the girl is because Eric himself is also at fault.
He just concentrated too much attention on the performance of Al and others, and ignored Dolly's mistakes. Until one shot, Dolly appeared in the center of the screen, and he reacted. If he corrects it in time, he will not waste so many shots.
However, as a director, in order to maintain his prestige in the crew, he certainly will not admit that he is a mistake in such a small matter.
Although the party lens in the villa was only a few minutes in the film, it took a whole half of the time to shoot. It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that the last shot in the villa was finally ushered in, that is, a conversation between Edward and ex-girlfriend Susan.
After a violent and direct phone break with his current girlfriend Jessica, Edward, who is about to leave the villa, went downstairs and just met his ex-girlfriend, so the two briefly talked.
......
"Susan, ask you something?" Edward stared at Susan.
Susan wondered: "What?"
Edward lifted his hand slightly and thought about it: "When you are my girlfriend, do you talk to my secretary more than me?"
Susan’s tone was a little lost, and it seemed to recall the past when two people got along:
Your secretary became my bridesmaid.
Edward snorted and smiled awkwardly before bidding farewell to Susan.
This episode seems to be ordinary, but it is actually one of several character turning points in the movie, the hero of Edward.
The reason why "Feng Yue Qiao Jia Ren" can achieve box office success is included in most love movie lists, there is no reason. Many people will think, oh, this is just a fairy tale of a nutritious prince and Cinderella, which is impossible in reality.
There is nothing wrong with this. The plot design of this movie is much more elaborate. Perhaps the director himself only did this subconsciously, but he could not deny the existence of these delicate settings.
To say that there is no logic, the film "Notting Hill" filmed by Julia in the past is called no logic. The male and female protagonists only met one side. Without saying a few words, they kissed in the male lead apartment. For the first time, Rick saw the film, and was stunned by the awkward scene of Ray.
In "Wind Moon Beauty", the reason why the male and female protagonists can finally come together is not to blame without any logic. The character of Vivienne and Edward in the movie has changed at least three times.
Vivienne’s first change was the beginning of the film. She met the niece who died in the trash. At the moment of the lens close-up, Vivian’s eyes showed fear, so she was with her friend Kate. When Luca met, Vivian first asked, 'Don't you want to get rid of this kind of life? ’
The second time was to accompany Edward to the feast. Vivienne went to buy clothes alone, and was rushed out by the clothing store. Vivian, who was wrapped in a coat and walked on the street, felt the bitter humiliation, which made her again determined. Escape from the original life.
The last time, Edward gave up the acquisition of Moses, and the violent Philippe Stuckey attributed the responsibility to Vivian. In the hotel room, Philippe Starkey said vaguely to Vivienne: "Don't forget your Identity, Miss Vivienne, you are not a little woman, you are just a prostitute!"
This sentence will completely awake in Vivienne, who is immersed in the dream of Cinderella created by Edward. So, when Edward said that he wanted to support her, Vivian ran to the balcony, not dare to face Edward's eyes, but a nightmare to tell her childhood fantasy. She said to him, either, give her a fairy tale, or let her leave.
She finally chose to leave, although this is not the end.
The character transition of the hero, Edward, began in the villa. In conversation with ex-girlfriend Susan, he asked his own question. Susan said that her secretary eventually became her bridesmaid. I can imagine that Edward was at the Soviet Union. How cold and disregarded Shan is, so that his girlfriend has to be associated with his secretary. Although this detail is unlikely to cause too much change to Edward's character, it also makes him start to reflect on his behavior.
Edward's second change was to return to the hotel after sharing the meal with Moses' owner. He sat alone on the balcony overlooking the night scene of Los Angeles. Because the conversation at the meal reminded him of the father who passed away not long ago, he worked hard and worked hard. In the end, he retaliated in order to avenge his father to abandon her mother. The first thing he did after setting up the company was to acquire the father’s The company, split it and sell it.
However, his father passed away. Fourteen years of grievances have vanished, and he finally felt a trace of exhaustion. When a person is exhausted, the willpower is always the weakest. At this time, a woman suddenly appears in front of him, enlightens him, soothes him, and unknowingly breaks into his heart.
On the piano in the dining room, the exhausted Edward broke out for the first time with strong emotions.
The last transformation began on that night, Vivienne wrapped up Edward's chess, and Edward supported his chin and said, "Why don't you go tomorrow? I still have to work?"
Vivian asked: "Why go to work, let's take a day off?"
Edward woke up like a dream: "Yes, I am the boss."
So Edward completely "fallen down", they are shopping like a couple, lying on the lawn reading, chatting in the snack bar in the north of the sea...
In the end, he found that he could not do without Vivienne.
In the sad rainy day before leaving, in the song "This is definitely love," Edward finally made up his mind to give Vivienne a fairy tale. He turned into a knight, with a long sword (umbrella) in his right hand and a flower in his left hand. Climb the window of the castle (stairs) and welcome back to his princess.
