The shooting of the airport scene lasted only a few days. After completing the scenes of Sarah Michelle Gellar, the crew immediately moved to Los Angeles and started the shooting of the next scene without stopping.
As for Sarah Michelle Gellar, the actress who is not very famous yet, will play Frank's only girlfriend or fiancée who has told the truth in the movie.
Spielberg's scheduled shooting time for this movie is only two months. Since most of the shots have to be filmed on urban streets and buildings, the limited space and tight shooting progress make everyone run at high speed as if they were on a clockwork.
The crew prepared more than 140 sets in New York, Los Angeles, Quebec and Montreal. With Spielberg's order, the props team will dress up the outdoor spot as it was in the 1960s in the shortest time.
This was a high-tempo shooting, and Ryan also thoroughly witnessed Spielberg's Hollywood factory assembly line shooting style. Every scene in his script was carefully calculated by the old Jewish man and he drew close-connected shots, which greatly improved the shooting efficiency, and sometimes he had to go through three outdoor locations a day.
Such an amazing speed not only shocked the reporter paparazzi who were spinning around the crew, but even many people in the crew found it incredible.
"This is an unprecedented shooting, so fast because the performances of the two men were too shocking. They only saw them in my shooting career." An assistant photographer once said this in an interview with a reporter.
Yes! After a brief adjustment, Ryan quickly found the feeling. His in-depth contact with Frank Abagoner himself before the filming benefited a lot, and his thinking about the role almost improved to a higher level.
Then there is his opponent. He is a double-produced Oscar actor known for his acting skills. If he does not stimulate all his potential, he will definitely be suppressed in the opponent's scenes and become a face-selling male vase.
This is not the result Ryan wants.
In the past, Ryan was worried about whether he would grow old in the future. Although he was no longer worried, his worries about appearance still existed.
It is definitely not a good thing for a male actor to be too handsome, and it will add countless obstacles to his acting career. If he wants to be recognized by most people, he will have to put in more effort.
Fortunately, he did not grow up to be a creamy boy. While he was sunny and handsome, he was not lacking in toughness and perseverance.
The entire movie of "Cat and Mouse Game" is a highlight of Frank and Carl, among which Frank is the top priority. There will be a lot of close-ups in the camera, showing his wisdom and agility. Such a handsome and elegant liar, if Ryan doesn't control it well, it may become a face-selling show.
The most criticized thing about Xiao Li's performance in his previous life is that he is prone to exerting too much force. Of course, this is what the film critic said. In Ryan's opinion, Xiao Li's performance in it is definitely worthy of praise.
Ryan would not imitate anyone. He had already formed his own performance style, and even when necessary, he could completely break his own style.
According to Frank's disguised identity, Ryan not only lets the stylist adjust his appearance, but also constantly changes his temperament. Sometimes he is agile, sometimes elegant, and sometimes steady, constantly changing his identities between Frank himself, a teacher, pilot, doctor and lawyer, and grasping each role just right.
"He can always perfectly interpret the role he plays." Spielberg once said to people so much, "When he grew up, Ryan allowed us to see a better Ryan. His acting skills have not only not regressed, but have become more refined. Occasionally, sometimes, he can even suppress Tom Hanks at a disadvantage."
Ryan's outstanding state is due to his own efforts, and it is also closely related to Spielberg's regulation. The old Jewish man maintained the entire crew in a fanatical rhythm, creating the aura and vitality of the actors when performing. This is the foundation of several major directors in Hollywood.
"…………Why can't I give you four hundred dollars?" The sexy and beautiful blonde took out the bill from her bra, counted four, and handed it to a suit who looked like a small opener. "It's time for you to give me that check now."
“That’s better.”
Ryan handed over the check and stuffed another four hundred dollars into his pocket, without any guilt of cheating on the woman.
After the deal was negotiated, a man and a woman approached each other with great understanding, and the four lips and eyes were about to get together.
“cut!”
Spielberg's shout finally rang out, "It's OK."
Like a contracting spring, Ryan instantly retracted his body and opened the distance from Gwyneth Paltrow.
"Am I that scary, Ryan?" Gwyneth suddenly laughed, "I haven't seen you for two years, I've made you feel strange?"
"Come on, Gwyne, I don't want to be retaliated by an angry policeman." Ryan joked, "Brad is watching from the side."
After filming "The Seven Deadly Sins", the couple in the movie Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow became a real couple. Although the two were quarreling, they were still in love.
Ryan knows a little bit about this couple. The investment in "The Seven Deadly Sins" comes from Jenkins Films, and he also recommended Brad Pitt to play the policeman. After the box office of the movie exceeded 100 million, the other party made a special thank you.
Whether it is the outside media or the friends between the two, they are not optimistic about Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. This is not to say that Pitt is fickle. After all, fickleness is a common problem for Hollywood men, but Gwyneth Paltrow has a serious princess disease, which will keep people who have dated her away.
The same goddaughter of Spielberg, compared to Drew Barrymore's long-sleeved dance, Gwyneth Paltrow is much less popular. After knowing each other for several years, Ryan only maintained a nod.
"Good evening, Ryan."
Just as he sat back into the rest area, Brad Pitt came over.
"Hello, Brad." Ryan greeted casually, "Sit down."
"Ryan, I heard that the heroine of that big production is still being selected?" Brad Pitt knew Ryan a little bit, and after sitting down, he went straight to the topic, "Is the heroine not finalized yet?"
"Yes, Director Cameron is recruiting candidates for actors." Ryan glanced at Gwyneth Paltrow, and vaguely guessed what Pete was going to say next.
"Gwyne also sent her information and resume, but she has not replied yet." Brad Pitt scratched her head awkwardly, "This..."
"Sorry, Brad, according to the original agreement, our investors must respect James Cameron's choice in terms of actors." Ryan politely rejected the other party. The reason was very simple. Gwyneth Paltrow did not conform to James Cameron's aesthetic views, nor did he conform to the physical characteristics of the aristocratic lady in the early 20th century.
Any factor that may lead to the failure of the movie will be abandoned by him without hesitation.
Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't have many scenes, and the filming was completed in just one day. She probably knew that she was not worth enough and never mentioned the role in front of Ryan. She told her godfather, but Spielberg rejected it.
The Jewish director is very clear that in the face of a huge investment of more than 200 million US dollars, the role that human favors can play is very limited.
After the crew moved to an old neighborhood in Quebec City, they came to Montreal, where an abandoned prison served as a French prison for Argonel, and Ryan became one of the serious criminals and experienced the feeling of losing freedom.
During the filming period, Ryan would come to Spielberg to ask for some knowledge about director, photography, and production. No matter what the reason, Spielberg could say everything and say everything.
The "Cat and Mouse Game" being filmed is undoubtedly the best example and textbook. He also told Ryan about the precautions when shooting this movie through some pictures.
"This is a movie with a cheerful theme, so we did not use dark light and try to make the film bright and gorgeous. We need to film the streets and buildings, and it will definitely be restricted. We cannot remove the walls and windows at will, nor can we place the cameras and lighting equipment in the ideal position. Everything can only be adapted to local conditions. Ryan, this fast-paced shooting is a challenge, but the director likes this kind of challenge. Only by constantly challenging can we open up our horizons."
When Ryan asked about the use of background and clothing colors during the shooting, Spielberg explained, "When Frank first appeared in the movie, he was just an ordinary person, living in a soft and monotonous environment, but when the scam he set succeeded again and again and gradually became better, the colors around him became wilder. As he entered the peak realm, we began to use bright colors such as red, yellow, and orange to show his continuous vitality."
For Ryan, this was a brand new shooting experience, which was more tense and faster than ever before. The entire crew was like a jet flying around the sky, wandering around the location.
"This is the fastest-pitched movie I've ever starred in. It keeps turning around, like a large theater troupe touring around." Ryan said on the phone call to Nicole.
The fast-paced shooting allowed Ryan to burst out all his potential. In several scenes with Tom Hanks, he was not inferior to the disadvantage. The scenes of two men of a very different age often won applause.
"Ryan, I think as long as there is a suitable role, you can definitely compete for the nomination for Best Actor." This is what Tom Hanks said during a chat.
Just one and a half months later, the crew of "Cat and Mouse Game" returned to Los Angeles. After the last scene was successfully completed, Spielberg officially announced the movie's closed mirror. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
