MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 45 Fairly smooth

"Cut!" With Mingla's voice, the entire crew finally relaxed, and looking at his happy expression, you can tell that this set of scenes must have passed.

"Everyone has worked hard," Mingla said in a good mood, "Now rest for 30 minutes."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief immediately, and a few cheered in a low voice, they were really exhausted.

"Good job, Sean." A field assistant patted Sean as he passed by.

Sean smiled and didn't speak, but then another gaffer came over and gave him a thumbs up. Well, he just suggested it with the mentality of trying it out. When Mingella asked aloud, he instinctively or intuitively thought that the actor in this scene could not speak, so he brought it up. Unexpectedly, Mingera not only adopted it, but also thought that the effect was quite good.

Appeared in front of him with a smile.

Sean leaned back almost subconsciously. Although he reacted in time, Hoffman already showed a depressed look.

laughed.

"Of course not, I just..." Sean made a few gestures, "I am quite impressed with "Scent of a Woman"."

"Well, it seems that I am in your heart and have become the spokesperson for this kind of role." Hoffman said immediately, his reaction was quite fast, and Gwyneth couldn't help it Laugh out loud.

"If I come to write the script, I will definitely arrange you together." She said this while laughing, but then realized that something was wrong, so she left without saying hello.

"She's joking, don't take it seriously," Hoffman waved, "but you're really good, you've done a lot of preparation, right?"

"Yes, I think you too." Sean laughed, "Thank you, Philip—may I call you that?"

I came to my trailer, opened the door, went in, looked around, stretched out a long breath, and sat down on the sofa. Once upon a time, I was still thinking about when I would have a trailer for myself to rest. It has now come true.

"Hey, Sean, how's it going? It's a good shot." Galen also got in at this moment, and immediately took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

"It's not bad," Sean took a sip, "I'm well prepared, and it doesn't feel like it's that difficult to make a movie."

"Maybe I should go in and see how you look." Galen said half-jokingly, then gave a wicked smile, "I saw the heroine just now, she is The heroine, right? It's beautiful, have you ever thought about... eh?"

"Why, am I a stallion in heat in your eyes?" Sean rolled his eyes, "She is at least seven years older than me."

"So what, don't think I don't know what you and Miss Mia did in the classroom." Galen let out a "sneer" laugh.

Sean, who was drinking water, almost spit it out and looked at him with strange eyes, not knowing what to say for a while.

"I was walking home that day, and halfway through, I realized that I forgot something, so I went back to school, and then I saw a scene outside the classroom that I shouldn't have seen." Galen hehe Laughing, that's quite proud of it.

"Then... Neil they..." Sean had a glimmer of hope.

"Of course, you know, you should understand, Sean, it is every male student's dream to be a beautiful high school female teacher." Galen spread his hands, "Also, during this time You often don't go back to your apartment at night, and I can fully imagine where you spend the night, so let's be honest, do you have any ideas."

"Okay Galen, today is the first day of filming, I don't have time to think about that much." Sean had to put his hands up to end the conversation.

But having said that, Gwyneth Paltrow does have an attractive charm. In terms of beauty, she is not as good as Jennifer and Naomi, but her temperament is quite good. But Sean's attention was not on this. He found something that he didn't expect, and it was Philip Seymour Hoffman who first showed his favor.

Before he came to the crew, Sean had already imagined many scenes. He played the leading role in this film as an almost complete newcomer. Even with Mingla's strong support, there would still be people watching him It's not pleasing to the eye, not to mention that there are people in the crew who have bad intentions for themselves. Although he tried his best before this, he also won the favor of some people, but some people were not accessible, that is, the other leading actors of this movie.

Both Frederick and Leyson from PR have reminded him of this. Most of these actors start out as supporting roles, and only after they have certain qualifications and accumulation, can they win the leading role. It is really rare for people like Sean who are not very famous, but play the leading role in such a movie. Little, if they don't have any ideas, it's absolutely impossible.

In Sean's view, Hoffman is the most likely to have this idea. He is already 30 years old, but he has been playing various supporting roles. "As a high school student in "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", it was not until the release of "Boogie Nights" that it began to be well received. But now he is still playing a supporting role in "The Genius Ripley", and it is impossible to say that he has no opinion on Sean in his heart.

But Jude Law is different. He participated in the performance of a youth musical theater at the age of 12, and dropped out of high school at the age of 17 to become a professional actor, which is quite similar to Sean. And he became famous early. Although he was in the UK, he was also invited by Minghella to play the role of Dick, and there was no conflict of interest with Sean.

I don't know why, but now Hoffman feels good about him, while Jude is very cold. Before filming started, Sean tried to greet Jude after he came to the set, but the other party seemed to be indifferent and responded very perfunctory.

It definitely won't go on like this forever.

Soon, the 30 minutes of rest passed, and under Galen's reminder, Sean entered the studio one step ahead of the others.

The first thing to do is to touch up the makeup. The makeup that the stylist puts on the character is targeted. For example, Sean dyed his hair a lot lighter, and the lines of the facial features are more obvious. , looks more masculine, but more bookish after wearing glasses. In this case, if you want to keep shooting to achieve the effect that the director wants, you naturally need to pay attention at all times, and it is not very troublesome. Since it is a make-up, you just need to repaint the parts that are not in place.

After finishing this, and reviewing the huge book that followed, Sean came to the first floor of the studio with doubts, and then he was stunned.

There is a large pool in the middle of the first floor, which has been filled with water at this moment, about an area of ​​more than 500 square yards, and a laughing sailboat is parked on the side. The foreman was instructing his assistants to place various equipment and hanging green curtains all around, which was undoubtedly preparing for the later stage.

"I thought I was going to shoot on location." Sean said.

"On the spot? How is it possible?" There was laughter from the side, and Hoffman immediately appeared in front of him, "You don't think the footage of sailing in the sea is shot on the spot, Sean?"

"Well...I saw the drawing of this shot from the art director, and it is said that a considerable part of the shot is going to be shot in Italy, so I was a little confused when I learned that this part was going to be shot. ." Sean explained.

"In this case, it is generally not possible to shoot on the spot, because ... it is too troublesome." Hoffman thought for a while and explained it for him, "You know, at the seaside, the ups and downs of the waves Relatively large, if the boat is too small, the stability will definitely not be high. You can think about how the filmed boat and the boat used for filming are constantly shaking up and down due to the ups and downs of the waves, which will give directors and producers a headache. ."

"So building the set indoors, and then adding the picture in the post-production, saves both money and time." Sean continued.

"That's right," Hoffman nodded, "of course, you can also go to the pier to shoot if you want, such as the shrimp fishing scene in "Forrest Gump", in addition to pure The sea shots were all shot in San Diego. Plus, if you invest enough, you can go to Mexico to build a boat like Cameron.”

Listening to these slightly humorous words, Sean couldn't help laughing, and he had a little more affection for him.

"Okay, let's change clothes, we'll get on board later." Hoffman patted him on the shoulder and walked to the prepared locker room.

"Philip." Sean stopped him suddenly, but when the other party turned to look at him with questioning eyes, he was speechless, and finally just shrugged: "Thank you ."

"Just don't confuse me with the character." He teased and entered the locker room.

Sean scratched his chin, sighed again, and then entered his locker room.

The next scene took place on Dick's private yacht, Ripley, Dick, Freddy, Maggie together, Dick naturally and Freddy, who is also a rich kid More intimacy, coupled with Freddie's morning taunt, had happened before with Ripley stealing his clothes, and he had been looking at Ripley's Dick from a condescending attitude and cared less and less about him.

Maggie comforted him a few words, but Freddy took this opportunity to ridicule him, which further distorted Ripley's psychology.

Since it was filming on a boat, it was natural to undress. Sean was a little worried. Undressing in front of so many people was somewhat uncomfortable. But after changing clothes, I immediately felt relieved, that is, Jude and Hoffman, who were going to go into the water, were wearing boxer shorts, but he had a shirt while reading. Although Gwyneth was wearing a swimsuit, she wrapped it up early outside. Even after getting a bath towel, Mingella thought it through.
