Chapter 87: Plans don't change as fast


"Clink, come here and support the light stand! And you, um ... what's your name here? Okay, Brett, move this thing over there and ask them to clean up the venue. Come out, be quick! "
With the voice of the director ’s assistant, the motel room was a busy scene. The staff of the
Vulgar Fiction
crew was under the supervision of a director ’s assistant, preparing the environment for the next shooting. Drian was speaking to Bruce Willis on the other side.
As Adrian expected, John Travolta, who fell to the bottom, agreed after only a few minutes of thinking, and only paid $ 100,000 in pay-of course, the box office share was still written into the contract. After all, he is still a big star who has been famous for a long time. Anyway, if the box office fails, he won't get anything.
Adrian didn't care too much. No one except him would know how much the box office could get for this movie. Travolta has already starred at the lowest price and is not divided. It really does not conform to the rules, so It just squeezes the ratio of the pressure.
是 如此 Samuel Jackson is also the same, he has just emerged, and the object of cooperation is the well-known ghost director in the circle, so there is no opinion on the conditions of the offer. Only Bruce Willis, although there is no strong popularity two years later, but now the value is not low, directly out of the 7 million price. Adrian naturally refused to accept, no matter how, the cost can not be higher than the original cost? So after several negotiations, Willis finally reduced the film pay to 3 million, and the price was part of the box office share, but Bitla Volta was lower.
It seems like a loss. If all goes well, Bruce will get more than 4 million. But Adrian didn't think so, this was an opportunity to have a good relationship with Bruce. He liked the agents of Travolta, Jackson and Willis, and if he could dig them up, then he would be his agent. The development of the company will be of great help.
"Impatient and angry, you feel impatient and angry, and at the same time a little flustered, because the gold watch was left to you by your father, which is very important to you. But you ca n’t vent it completely, because Your woman is here, although you are angry that she forgot to bring the gold watch, although you are thinking to yourself: Oh, this stupid woman! But you still love him after all. "Adrian explained with a gesture.
"Ed, do you think this is okay?" Willis groaned and said something like this.
He closed his eyes and brewed his emotions, suddenly raised his head and breathed quickly, his shoulders and lower abdomen were violently ups and downs, and both hands were raised to make a fist and open again. This emotion continued for a few seconds Only slowly calmed down.
"Very good!" Adrian clapped his hands and praised, "That's it, you're doing well, Bruce, those guys who say you have bad acting skills should jump off the Golden Gate Bridge."
"This is too exaggerated, Ed." Willis laughed, touching his thin hair, "I'm glad you're satisfied."
"So, let's get started." Adrian saw the assistant director's "Everything is ready" gesture to him, patted Willis on the shoulder and walked towards the camera.
All the shots will be taken outside this time. Anyway, the required space is just motels, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, basements, etc. It is much cheaper to rent these places in the suburbs than to build them in the studio. The only trouble is that it needs to be transferred to the past. If the shooting bar and restaurant are too close, it is easy to wear.
Adrian originally wanted to go to the restaurant where Kate was robbed before, to film the robbery, but after thinking about it, he was left behind, and there was still not much improvement in law and order there. The bandits have not been captured so far, and the US police are not so good, so let's forget it.
Now shooting the second of three stories: "Gold Watch". Willis plays Butch, a boxer who plays underground boxing. He has a gold watch that his father left him. He attaches great importance to this gold watch and stays with him wherever he goes. This time, the gangster Masha gave him a sum of money to ask him to make fake punches in the next boxing match. Butch pretended to press all the money on himself, and then killed the opponent alive in the game, thus making a lot of money to take his girlfriend to run. However, her girlfriend left the most important gold watch in her home. Butch had to go back and get it again, but she ran into Martha, who was waiting for her at his house. A series of strange things happened. He He and Masha reconciled and retired with money.
In fact, Adrian first wanted to shoot the third story, "The Situation of Bonnie". The scene of this story is basically indoors, and the restaurant's film can be put to the last shot. But Willis only had 2 weeks, and he had another movie to shoot, so Adrian had to make the "Gold Watch" first.
In fact, the main scene of this story is also indoor ~ EbookFREE.me ~ There are mainly three places: motel, grocery store and its basement, and Butch's home. However, one of them is a chase between Martha and Butch. This scene has to be filmed in front of many people on a sunny street. It also requires a lot of extras, which is very troublesome to handle.
Fortunately, at least Willis gave him a surprise. The performance of this strong man is not as crude as his appearance. For example, in a gentle play in a motel, he used body language to show exactly what the character should be. Gentleness, while not discomforting the show's Karina Pramo.
It's a pity that his appearance is a little ... how to say, it's tough, the boxy face looks like a knife carved, although the eyes are a little small, but it gives people a sense of perseverance. "Famous for tough guys." But because of this, after playing too many tough guys, the image was limited, and then trying other roles made the audience feel uncoordinated, and over time it was blocked by the title of facial paralysis.
Well, not to mention that, after spending three days filming the motel scene, Adrian started preparing for the next scene. In order, it should be a grocery store, a chase battle, and finally a play in Butch's house, because in Butch's house, there is a shot of Travolta being shot by Willis. Put the play here to the end, and you can After Willis finished shooting, continue to take shots of Travolta.
But after thinking about it, Adrian decided to shoot the chase first. Anyway, this shot is shorter, the sooner the month is completed. However, the plan will never change quickly. Whether it is a long-term plan or an interim plan, the day after Adrian started shooting the chase, the 64th Oscar nomination list was released.
