Chapter 323 Almost Harsh Perfection
Chapter 323: Almost demanding perfection requirements!
"Dear you, please be quiet. The reason why the mayor is here tonight is because the dear mayor also has a role in this drama. Please be quiet. The filming is about to start. Tonight you will meet with the mayor.
Let's perform together." Zhou Shaoming raised his loudspeaker and shouted loudly.
At the same time, the extras became excited.
"Benjamin, take some people to explain to the extras how to perform next." Zhou Shaoming turned to Benjamin again and said.
"Reil Baker, you take your team to put on makeup for some extras who need makeup!"
"Got it, director!" Benjamin and Belrick said in unison.
Next, Zhou Shaoming took out the script from his pocket, raised his head and said to Captain Roger and Bloomberg: "Now I need to explain to you two about the next performance."
Bloomberg and Roger stopped smiling and became serious.
"Mr. Mayor, first of all, when filming, your role is an officer, equipped with a gun, and then with a serious expression and a loud voice, you open the way in front of Robert, that is, to protect Will Smith, Harry, Jaden, and Sam.
The dog left. From beginning to end, he was required to hold his head high and his chest to be upright and serious. Overall, he was an officer who was calm and vigilant in times of crisis, and needed to protect his superiors!" Zhou Shaoming said slowly.
Bloomberg was also extremely serious and kept nodding.
"Okay, Mr. Mayor, you have the script in your hand. Now you can memorize your lines a little more, and Will Smith and Harry are around. You can go and communicate with them."
"Okay, director!" Bloomberg threw away his identity as mayor and became an actor under the direction of the director.
"Roger, for this scene tonight, you and your brothers don't need any kind of performance. You just have to stand in one place, line up, and direct the crowd as you usually do when dealing with economic situations." Zhou Shaoming
He said to Roger again.
"Okay, I understand, I will give them instructions later."
"Well, also, go change your clothes. Over there, change into military clothes."
Half an hour later, Benjamin and Reilbeck had made arrangements, and Bloomberg, Roger and others also made it clear.
Nine o'clock!
Regarding the placement of props, that is, the scene layout of many, many cars blocking the bridge has also been completed.
Filming of this segment officially started.
"Cameramen, everyone is in position!" Zhou Shaoming held the script in his hand and shouted seriously. Benjamin stood beside him.
Following Zhou Shaoming's shout, Will Smith picked up Jaden on the jeep and said the lines at the same time: "Baby, let's go." At the same time, Harry picked up Sam and got out of the car.
Then, Bloomberg's voice sounded: "Protect the colonel and his family. Help them clear the way!"
"Cut!" Zhou Shaoming shouted after Bloomberg finished speaking this line.
"First of all, Jaden, you forgot to say your line. Don't forget the line 'Dad'! Furthermore, Mr. Mayor, your line should be placed a little earlier. It should start the moment Will Smith closes the car door, and
Instead of waiting until the camera turns to Harry, Mayor, your voice can be louder and louder!"
"Got it, director!" Bloomberg nodded.
"Also, Roger, control the alarm and keep it going!"
"Yes, director!"
"Reshoot this scene!"
The next second, Will Smith picked up little Jaden from the car door: "Baby, let's go!"
"dad!"
"Come on, come on... let's go!"
At the same time, Bloomberg's loud voice appeared: "Protect the colonel and the colonel's family, and help clear the way ahead!"
Along with the piercing siren, the camera came to Harry, and she quickly picked up Sam the dog and got out of the car.
"Very good!" Zhou Shaoming clapped his hands, with a look of joy on his face.
Will Smith performed very well, fully demonstrating the responsibility and calm mentality that a man should bear in times of crisis, but Will Smith's performance was not unexpected.
But Bloomberg greatly exceeded Zhou Shaoming's expectations.
Actors can be divided into four types: those who are talented but unwilling to work hard, those who are willing to work hard but have no talent, those who have no talent but are unwilling to work hard, and the last one who is both talented and unwilling to work hard.
Talented and willing to work hard.
Anyone who can become a popular star is basically the fourth type, and those who are talented but don't work hard usually become famous instantly, but are unable to continue and slowly sink into depression. Those who are willing to work hard but have no talent can only
They have become supporting roles. As for those who have no talent and are unwilling to work hard, they may not even be able to be extras!
In Zhou Shaoming's view, Bloomberg is the kind of person who has talent but doesn't want to work hard! To be precise, he has talent but doesn't need to work hard. After all, Bloomberg is an official, not an actor.
From the simple explanations just now, to the slightly sluggish performance later, to the quick correction after being reminded, Bloomberg even did better than the average actor, which really surprised Zhou Shaoming.
I thought this scene would take many takes to complete, but who would have thought that it was almost done in the first take!
Little Jaden basically inherited his father Will Smith's acting talent. At such a young age, he is very precise when performing.
Harry, on the other hand, is a very talented and hard-working person, so he gets along well with Will Smith. Coupled with Bloomberg, he personally performed this scene very well, and of course, our dog Sam
.
After resting for a few minutes, Zhou Shaoming raised his hand again: "action."
"Mommy, they have guns!" little Jaden in Will Smith's arms asked loudly.
"It's okay, they are soldiers like dad!" Harry replied quickly, while Will Smith walked quickly, frowning slightly, looking anxious.
"Extras, all in place!" At this moment, Zhou Shaoming shouted loudly, and at the same time, hundreds of extras began to walk on the Brooklyn Bridge.
"Go a little faster, and be more affectionate and impatient!" Zhou Shaoming continued to shout, watching Benjamin directing the extras over there.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Within a few seconds, Zhou Shaoming suddenly shouted stop!
Suddenly, everyone including Will Smith stopped and looked towards Zhou Shaoming.
"Don't be so fake, okay? Think about it, if an earthquake or tsunami comes, how will you behave? That kind of impatience, that kind of despair! Not to mention how well you behave, at least you can't step as neatly as you do.
Let's walk?" Zhou Shaoming waved his hands and said loudly to the loudspeaker: "Also, walk more naturally, don't all move in the same direction, try to be chaotic within a certain range! Do you understand chaos? It's the kind of encounter.
The feeling of being swept away when good things happen.”
"Okay, continue!" After saying that, he waved his hand again: "Camera, delete the previous paragraph and start again!"
"Mommy, they have guns!"
"It's okay, they are both soldiers like dad!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Zhou Shaoming, Bloomberg, Harry, and little Jaden once again performed the scene just now.
This time, the extras have obviously improved, at least they seem to have that chaotic and panicky feeling.
"Stop!" After a while, Zhou Shaoming shouted stop again.
Although these extras had changed and were much better than before, they still could not achieve the results Zhou Shaoming had expected. He, who was always pursuing perfection, once again asked everyone to stop.
This time, Zhou Shaoming no longer shouted with a loudspeaker, but called Benjamin, Harry, Will Smith, Jessica and other members of the crew together, and then prepared to give these extras an intuitive performance.
That kind of atmosphere, that kind of feeling.
"Next, take a closer look at what it feels like. Danger is coming, disaster is coming, care for home, confusion about the future, desire for life, helplessness in the face of disaster! That kind of pessimism, that kind of despair, that
Please be impatient and pay attention to the expressions and movements on the faces of me, Will Smith and others." Zhou Shaoming first shouted, and then he, Will Smith and others performed in person in the middle of the venue.
It didn't take long for a few people to perform the desired effect. Many extras intuitively felt the emotions and actions that needed to be expressed, and couldn't help but nod.
"After all, when an earthquake comes, how do you escape? It's just that feeling, do you understand?"
"Got it!"
"Can you perform well?"
"able!"
"Very good, let's do it again, cameras in place, action."
This time, hundreds of extras finally showed that feeling, and the performances of Will Smith and others were even more perfect. Zhou Shaoming nodded with satisfaction until the camera stretched to the bridge and the sea. Zhou Shaoming
Then he shouted stop.
"Very good, you performed very well. This scene is over. That's it for tonight. We will continue tomorrow night! Good night!" Zhou Shaoming said with a smile. At this moment, he no longer had the seriousness and calmness he had when directing the filming.
Harsh, more like a big boy next door.
"Director Smith Zhou, can I take a photo with you?"
"Director Smith Zhou, could you tell me, would you mind having a mistress?"
"Director Smith Zhou, when will your wedding to Miss Christina be held?"
"Director Smith Zhou,......"
After the filming was completed, the extras came forward one by one, and were surrounded by the police. However, even so, there were many people asking questions like this, and many people were even unwilling to leave for a long time.
It seemed that he was waiting for an opportunity to have close contact with Zhou Shaoming.
Chapter completed!
