Chapter 50 War on the set
The crew's location soon moved from Gray's to the General Motors Production Center.
Since General Motors closed its Atlanta production center in 2000, this large industrial park has been idle.
After Kelly Gray cooperated with the crew, she rented a large factory building and transformed it into a studio.
As French director Michel Gondry brought more than 20 main cast and crew to Atlanta, the filming of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" began.
Martin plays a small role, and his role is relatively fragmented. His main task every day is to put on makeup and wait.
This job is not as simple as it seems. Martin will play with Robert from time to time to maintain his condition.
He is like the man in the movie Sacred Valley, with no sense of existence, but when the director uses him, he must be high-spirited and not as soft as a slug.
It doesn't matter if Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are not in good condition, the person who plays with them must make fewer mistakes.
In the actor's rest area, Martin raised his hand and fist bumped with Robert: "Brother, don't make any mistakes."
In the next scene, it was Robert's turn to appear. He said: "I am an old background artist."
Five or six actors entered the "bookstore" to serve as background.
Robert's position is good, maybe the camera can capture the front.
Before filming started, Martin discovered that Robert quietly moved half a step towards Kate Winslet. Judging from the position of the camera, he could definitely be captured by the camera.
Sure enough, he is an old background artist.
It doesn’t exceed the requirements and can still show off.
Working as a background artist for Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet was enough to be a popular background artist in Atlanta for several years.
Maybe the air in the studio is stuffy, or maybe it's those days of the month for women, but Kate Winslet was in a very bad state today, and it took more than a dozen takes to get through a very simple scene.
French director Michel could only shoot one shot after another, and he couldn't get angry.
After Robert returned, Martin prepared to enter the scene. He and Kate Winslet had two lines of dialogue and then kissed.
He sprayed a breath of freshener and entered the set to have a brief exchange with Kate Winslet.
Kate Winslet said directly: "I take the initiative and follow my own pace."
Martin said: "Understood."
The assistant director came over to remind us about the placement.
Shooting begins.
The male and female protagonists are having a conversation. Martin comes from behind the bookshelf, talks to the heroine, and then lowers his head to kiss the heroine.
The heroine quickly leaned forward and pressed it on Martin's mouth.
Michelle shouted to stop: "Too shallow! Deep kiss, a deep kiss that expresses love!"
Starting over, the heroine kissed Martin again.
Michelle was still not satisfied: "Kate, are you going to eat him?"
Once again, he shouted stop.
The deep-rooted romance of the French makes the director have a perfect and demanding attitude towards kisses.
After taking more than ten shots in a row, Michelle was still not satisfied.
The further back you go, the worse Kate Winslet's condition becomes.
Because the heroine tried various types of kisses, Martin's lips were numb.
At first, he felt a little secretly happy that I had kissed Ruth.
Soon I became indifferent and turned into a kiss scene between me and Kate Winslet.
At this moment, Martin had only one thought: What is in front of me is Fei Wen.
After several times of starting and stopping filming, Michelle couldn't help but say: "Don't stick out your tongue!"
"Who knows what the hell do you want?" Kate Winslet exploded. This is a woman who dared to confront Cameron on the set. She directly used her advantage as a woman and fired the map gun: "Put away the French man.
You're boring, I've had enough of you in Los Angeles, you're a French man who only takes it out on women!"
As soon as the British insult came out, Michelle's anger grew: "You arrogant and rude half-cooked beef, there is no undersea tunnel here, but there is an international airport leading to hell. It is as convenient as Charles de Gaulle Airport!"

Everyone present, including Jim Carrey, hurriedly hid aside, not wanting to participate in this damn fancy mutual humiliation.
Producer Steve Golin, screenwriter and producer Charlie Kaufman, and executive producer Louise Meyer all came to the set to break up the fight.
The crew paused work, and Martin returned to the rest area. After consulting the assistant makeup artist, he took out a wet wipe and wiped it gently.
Robert added insult to injury: "I was a little envious of you at first, but now...it's not easy for you to come back alive."
The three producers tried to persuade each other, and it took a while to calm down the war.
Martin repaired his costume and returned to the set.
Kate Winslet saw Martin's lips and said politely: "Sorry."
Martin replied softly: "It doesn't matter."
Director Michelle glanced at Martin and asked the makeup artist: "His mouth?"
The makeup artist said: "It will take a while."
It was impossible for Michelle to wait for a small actor. After a moment's thought, she said to her assistant: "Adjust his position."
In the second filming, Martin walked from the side and kissed Kate Winslet with his back to the camera. There was no frontal shot.
Martin reluctantly accepted the reality. The director and the heroine quarreled, but he was the unlucky one in the end.
Returning to the rest area, Robert was very happy: "Although you have lines, you don't show your face."
Martin's filming is over today and he can take off his makeup and leave. The two of them go to the trailer together.
After taking off his makeup, Martin asked Robert: "After your play is over, what will you do next?"
Robert said: "I chose a job in the logistics team, mainly transporting food and beverages. I am familiar with this job."
Martin couldn't help but remind him: "Man, I can't be the leading actor or supporting actor in this crew, so you don't have to work so hard."
Robert didn't want to pay attention to this bastard, pointed to the front and said: "Look, isn't that our hero?"
Martin looked over there. At the open-air dressing area set up by the awning, there was a handsome blond guy among the passerby actors changing clothes. He thought for a moment and asked: "Adam Smith?"
Robert nodded: "Yes, you, the leading actor in Ma Zhen's drama, didn't expect to be like me now, just serving as a backdrop."
In the dining car next to it, a mixed-race black woman came out and greeted Robert: "Have you finished your work today?"
Robert said: "After the filming, I will start doing odd jobs tomorrow."

The black woman turned to Martin.
Robert introduced casually: "This is Martin, the deputy director of the troupe. Martin, this is Rosa, a former actor in the troupe, and now she is back."
Rosa stretched out her hand to Martin, her chocolate skin as smooth as satin: "I remember you."
Martin didn't remember her, but he shook hands politely: "I remember you too."
The black BMW 7 drove to the side of the road, and Kelly Gray, who was wearing professional attire, got out of the car and waved to Martin.
"I have a friend." Martin said and walked over.
Kelly Gray saw his mouth at a glance: "How could it be hurt here?"
Martin shrugged: "In a kiss scene, I was too charming and was swollen by the heroine's kiss."
Kelly laughed: "I have good news for you. Your social investigator has been promoted to a full-time job, with a weekly salary of US$500."
Martin said: "How can I thank you?"
"No need." Kelly didn't shy away from it, because Martin was not stupid, and he would understand just by asking: "I get more."
Martin also laughed: "When will I become Senator Kelly?"
Kelly Gray said: "There's still a long way to go."
Not far away on the other side, Rosa looked at Martin and asked curiously: "He is familiar with the boss of Gray Films?"
Robert said: "They seem to be friends, but I don't know the details."
Rosa looked at the two people talking and laughing and said, "It's not that familiar."
Robert didn't want to talk more and said vaguely: "Who knows."
Martin turned around, waved to Robert, and followed Kelly Gray back to the studio.
Rosa withdrew her gaze and invited Robert: "Shall I invite you to dinner?"
Robert pointed to the dining car: "You didn't eat?"
"No." Rosa took Robert's arm and left.
Passing by the open-air dressing area, Adam Smith was taking off his costume when he saw Rosa coming over and said hello: "Hi, Rosa, where are you going?"
Rosa stopped: "Go and eat."
Adam Smith looked at Rosa's curvy figure, then at the ugly man with the big head following behind, and showed a charming smile: "Just in time, I'm going to have dinner too, may I treat you?"
p>
Rosa's eyes fell on his passerby costume, and she declined politely: "Sorry, I have an appointment."
Adam Smith lowered his head to look at the costume. He wanted to throw it away but it didn't fit. It was a huge psychological gap for him to play the role of a passerby with no status after being used to being a leading actor.
Ward came over from the side and whispered: "Boyet's subordinate Diego called and asked us to pick up the goods at night. The watches from those high-end clubs like the new goods very much."
"I get it." The male lead in Gray Company's late-night drama does not earn a particularly high salary. Adam Smith's decent life comes partly from working part-time in high-end clubs and helping others deliver goods.
Ward asked tentatively: "Do you want to cut it off over there?"
Adam Smith didn't care: "A big star like Marlon Brando could do it at a low profile back then. What should I be afraid of?" He patted Ward on the shoulder: "It's easy to get on this boat, but it's hard to get off."
