MTL - Hollywood Lover-Chapter 498 genius!

"Don't worry, Mr. Smith, this is definitely the costume of the French street poor in the 18th century. It reflects the original style." The costume stylist and art designer are old people who have followed Zhang Dongcheng in many movies. What Dongcheng cares most about is the details, so it is impossible for them to neglect.

   "OK, very good, keep it up." Zhang Dongcheng nodded with satisfaction.

  After so many years of hard work, Zhang Dongcheng's eighth film is like a war machine that is roaring forward. There will never be a mistake in any position. The entire team is closely connected and efficient, and the work efficiency is amazing!

The higher and higher prestige, the higher and higher remuneration, and the higher and higher status in the film industry, this makes Zhang Dongcheng's team grow stronger and more professional at the same time. His team may not be the number one in Hollywood. , but in terms of concerted efforts and seriousness, it is a well-deserved number one.

In terms of actors, apart from Zhang Dongcheng’s confirmation of Leonardo as the leading actor, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba as the first and second female leads, the others are like a down-and-out perfumer, Megan’s father, etc. The roles, Zhang Dongcheng handed over to the casting director to select and audition, as for those actors who could not get a complete script or even a special role, Zhang Dongcheng did not need to spend so much time to do it himself, now he only needs Just achieve the goal, the process? Hehe, you can forget about him.

   The photographer is still Jack.

   This Jack, who started in England, followed Zhang Dongcheng across the sea to Hollywood, and finally became famous and even won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, naturally followed Zhang Dongcheng closely, and refused to leave even a single step.

  Beside Jack, there is one more person. That is a photography genius that Zhang Dongcheng discovered during his trip to China. He was originally a gangster with long hair...

  Now Changmao is already a high-spirited assistant photographer. He studied under Jack, who was born in the British Academy and has been baptized with the latest Hollywood techniques and innovations. His sister even saved the money to go to the film school to study photography.

It's still the chic long hair, but it's more literary and youthful. Compared with that year when it was a mess on the street, the long hair looks like a chicken coop. Now even the wind is blown by the most famous Hollywood makeup artist. The long-haired shot is carrying the camera, and is taking pictures under Jack's command, preparing for the shooting work for a while.

   Sometimes I really have to lament that a genius is a genius, especially a genius who discovers his strengths and works crazily for it. It's like we play LOL for twelve hours a day, and ordinary people who are still lingering in the silver **** can't imagine that they can reach the top of the national server with less than 300 games.

Chang Mao’s talent was discovered by Zhang Dongcheng, and he found the best teacher for him. After a year and a half of study and hard work in the United States, Chang Mao’s shooting level can be described as a rapid improvement. Maybe he passed through the movie Perfume After that, he will be able to be the chief photographer of general Hollywood movies.

   "Are you ready?" Zhang Dongcheng shouted at the camera team and sat in front of the monitor.

   "OK, boss!" Unlike the others, both Chang Mao and Zhang Dongcheng spoke in Chinese, and made a gesture that everyone understood.

   That is OK.

   "GOOD, boys, let's start! ACTION!" Zhang Dongcheng glanced at everyone, immersed himself in the movie, waved his hand, and turned on!

The first shot of the movie is not the scene of the birth of the leading actor Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. Centralize all the shots needed for shooting, so that it is more convenient, more economical and faster to work with the team.

  Only in the post-production, will these gathered pictures be reassembled through the editor's big scissors, and become a formal picture that ordinary audiences see on the big screen.

   This scene is the scene where Grenouille kept smelling various smells after he was brought to Paris by the owner of the tannery.

Following Zhang Dongcheng's order, hundreds of extras on the set got busy, and the chaotic, dirty and bustling scenes on the streets of Paris, France in the 18th century suddenly came to life, like going back in time, letting time go back that moment.

  Leonardo was wearing tattered clothes, his big toes were exposed on his feet, and almost completely worn out cloth shoes. The back was made of leather made by a tannery, so heavy that he could only carry it on his back.

His hair is black and messy. The five-year life of the tannery did not make him fall down, but he survived tenaciously like a germ. His eyes were so joyful and cheerful, because he came Arrived in Paris.

  After losing the bet with Zhang Dongcheng, Leonardo was willing to admit defeat. In terms of appearance, he no longer insisted on his first acting skills, and Zhang Dongcheng's role first is also reflected now.

  Although Leonardo returned to the essence of a handsome guy, his makeup in this scene is very ordinary, like a hard-working worker in a tannery, only the eyes that look at the pedestrians on one side are fanatical and excited.

In front of Leonardo, the camera is like his eyes, passing through the bustling crowd on the street, those people of all colors wearing the most popular white wigs and hats in the 18th century pass by like fish, ordinary people dressed as civilians , servants carrying sedan chairs, soldiers riding tall horses, soldiers with long-handled muskets behind their backs, coupled with the eighteenth-century buildings on both sides of the street, this bustling and unfamiliar Paris made Leonardo, who had just arrived, nervously carry head, looking around.

   Smells, countless smells, poured into his nose.

It is the scent of a lady sitting in a carriage, dressed luxuriously, holding a pet dog, it is the hooves of a tall horse, it is oysters that are eaten one by one, wine that is drunk, and a fragrant fan in a woman's hand , the open book, the new clothes in the window, all kinds of spices, bread, even the leather shoes being polished, the mud splashed by playful children.

  He wanders in a sea of ​​smells.

   "CUT!" Zhang Dongcheng frowned and said the first CUT of this movie!

   Everyone stopped, turned their heads to look at Zhang Dongcheng, and found that his eyes were focused on the actor Leonardo.

"Leonardo, the first half of your performance just now was very good. It fully expressed the reaction of a country boy who came to the big city, but the actor Grenouille is not an ordinary country boy. He is a genius. He discovered the smell Utopia, I don’t think you have shown this. Can you strengthen it a bit?” Zhang Dongcheng said to Leonardo.

   Zhang Dongcheng’s words are still very polite. You must know that Leonardo is also a guy who became famous when he was young.

  This is different from those old actors like Keanu or Nicholas. What Zhang Dongcheng is best at is to find different ways of inspiration according to different actors to make the movie perform better.

Before Zhang Dongcheng finished speaking, Leonardo over there nodded and said: "OK, I was really not used to that part just now, because I have never cared about the smell. It's really... more difficult just to imagine the appearance."

   Sure enough, Leonardo was not unhappy when he heard Zhang Dongcheng's words, and Zhang Dongcheng's approachable words made the big-name star not feel that he was embarrassed, but agreed with him.

   How to act like you are attracted to countless scents? Zhang Dongcheng also helped Leonardo imagine it. He held his chin in thought for a while, and then happily said: "Leonardo, we may try this. When you are performing, when you turn your head Hurry up, but your eyes are dull, as if you were just punched by someone, and your head quickly turned to one side, as if the smell had slapped you hard, making you involuntarily turn to the source of the smell."

"This idea is good! Let me try it!" Leonardo also became happy. Although this action is simple, it clearly shows that the male protagonist is attracted by those smells that he has never smelled before. Turning the head can make the audience see that the hero is different.

   "OK, let's start again! ACTION!" Confirmed, Zhang Dongcheng was very satisfied with this newly designed little action, and signaled to start.

  The camera is running again, and the streets of Paris, France in the 18th century are alive again. Leonardo walks on the crowded streets of Paris with fast and slow steps.

Closing his eyes, Leonardo took a deep breath, and took a few quick steps forward, but as if he had been punched hard by someone suddenly, he turned his head to the side suddenly, closing his eyes He also opened it suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent.

However, Leonardo didn't stop on his feet, slowly moved forward a few steps, and then, as if he had been slapped by a beauty that will never be forgotten, the very beautiful face suddenly looked Turning to the other side, the nose kept sucking.

  GOOD, this performance is very good!

  Looking at the monitor, Zhang Dongcheng felt that Leonardo’s acting skills were indeed very good, but his face was ignored by people, who only focused on his face when watching his performance...

  I hope the perfume can make him go further, Zhang Dongcheng thought in his heart, and continued to watch Leonardo's performance.

The leading actor Grenouille is a very brilliant character. Zhang Dongcheng has also played the movie Perfume hundreds of times in his mind. After watching it, I remember the whole story very clearly, but I have no image of the hero.

   This is obviously a shocking character, why is there such a situation?

Leonardo's performance has the unique unrestrainedness of American actors. Although he tried his best to restrain his emotions, put all his emotions into reticence, and his eyes were as dull as possible, his performance still had to be different from that of European actors. , with his American style.
