Chapter 65 Getting better
Emma Stone was born in 1988. Before "La La Land", Chen Lin was not very familiar with her like all Chinese.
However, she is very popular in North America. The drama "The He1p" starring in 11 years has become popular in the box office of North America. She herself has become a favorite in the hearts of the United States. Unfortunately, international popularity has never been achieved.
On the one hand, she is definitely not pretty. Not only does she not meet the aesthetics of oriental people, but even the Americans don’t think that these sisters are considered beautiful women.
On the other hand, among the young Hollywood generation, her acting skills are not absolutely amazing.
These people of her age, or those younger than her, Kirsten Dunst, Litton Mestre, Big Cousin, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman…
Anyone who picks up a movie that is far better than her in both fame and qualifications, so she is grateful to her and must also try to prove herself when she can star in "La La Land", a movie co-directed by two young directors known as the most promising in Hollywood.
“anet!”
With the assistant director playing the board, the first act of "La La Land" began filming.
Chen Lin sat behind the monitor and stared at the footage coming from the camera.
Mia, played by Sister Shi, was clumsyly searching for the tape in the car.
The picture that was nearly one minute was not redundant!
"Crack! Ryan, it's your place!"
The camera switched, and the camera was aimed at Gausling who was blocked by Sister Shitou.
When connected, there are two pedestrians who are stuck in traffic, and their reactions are also very common.
It's not a stunning appearance, but nothing wrong.
"Okay, it's past!"
Chen Lin looked at the two shots, thought for a moment, and directly adopted it.
The significance of shooting this scene is, on the one hand, the male and female protagonists are directly involved in the camera, and on the other hand, it is also a comparison with a traffic jam scene later.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone got off the car and prepared to make a transition.
Chen Linze signaled them to wait a little helplessly, because Miann's shooting on the other side was about to begin.
Miann arranged two rockers to aim at the entire scene, and at the same time, several main photographers carried the cameras to point at several extras with independent lenses.
These extras are dancers with this dance foundation. Although Los Angeles is not New York and there is no Broadway, there are still places where these dancers can hide. Los Angeles shows are no less than New York!
"start!"
When the live filming starts, there is no musical accompaniment in the entire scene. These extras must follow the idea according to the rhythm of the test filming and cannot make any mistakes.
The initial shot shows a black actress sitting in the car. She sang a song and slowly walked out of the cab...
Forget it, you are not interested in this part of the matter.
Anyway, the first time the filming was stuck, and two male actors collided together when they got off the car.
Damien was very annoyed, but he also knew that this thing was inevitable.
It is impossible to have a smooth sailing situation, otherwise everyone can be a director!
"Okay, let's do it again!"
Chen Lin was a little speechless.
He was a little confused about Damien's idea, why did he have to pursue one shot to the end? When the audience went to the theater to watch the movie, the most important thing was to see the complete plot and scene. They didn't care how these were shot, and they had to pursue one shot to the end. Why did the montage come to the point of being revealed?
Just make a documentary!
Then, naturally, the second shot was still stuck.
It's really difficult to have a three-minute singing and dancing scene, and you're going to have a shot that doesn't stop in the middle.
Generally, mV shooting cannot be done!
"Damion, it's been twice, we can't waste time like this!"
Chen Lin decisively spoke to stop Damien's idea of doing it again.
"Shen, do it again, I believe it can be done!"
"It's impossible. Do you know how much energy your experiment will waste? You can't waste all your time just because of your own ideas. More than 100 people in the entire crew can't stop with you because of your personal pursuit!"
Chen Lin had no intention of being polite at all, and rejected Damien's begging, looking at the awkward extra: "Stop for a moment, we'll shoot later!"
...
After Chen Lin took over this three-minute opening shot, he first divided the specific shooting tasks for several photographers, and then divided them into four paragraphs according to the original shooting order.
The next shooting took only about two hours to finish Damien's shot.
It took two or three times in the middle.
It is said that Damien, who had no choice but to try to shoot the original shot for two days after playing it!
It took two days to waste!
It cannot be said that the two people's insistence is right and who is wrong. For directors, it is of course worthy of praise to try to tell a story in a one-shot way.
Many directors who pursued the film have tried to shoot a movie in one shot, but of course, most of them failed!
But for investors, Chen Lin’s shooting method is undoubtedly more worthy of praise.
Damien was very dissatisfied and felt that Shen Lin was in the way of him.
Chen Linze believed that Damien was so stupid that he was cute. The exhibition of technology was to allow people to enjoy life better and use simpler methods to shoot movies.
Why do you have to use the most rare method to shoot a movie?
Maybe someone who knows it may sigh from the bottom of his heart, "It's so amazing!", but what can I do?
Is there any difference in the effect presented by the movie?
However, there was actually a faint voice deep in Chen Lin's heart that told him that he should challenge him, after all, he was also a species of unwillingness to be lonely in his bones!
...
On the afternoon of May 27th, because today was going to shoot a night scene, the entire crew did not have any shooting tasks during the day.
Chen Lin discussed with Damien what to pay attention to when shooting at night.
"Let's do it, tonight, we will shoot the singing and dancing scenes of Mia and her first meeting in the mountains. We will try it three times, and we won't shout in the middle. If it succeeds, I will hand over more shooting tasks to you in the future!"
The filming cycle of "La La Land" is two months and post-production is two months.
It was very rushing, so both the actors and the main creators behind the crew knew that Chen Lin could give Mianen two opportunities and let him experiment, which was definitely out of respect for the director.
Although "La La Land" is a dual director and the original script is also written by Mianne Chazerre, the entire project still has the absolute right to speak.
Everyone understands that the reason why this movie was filmed was definitely because Chen Lin supported it.
He also paid nearly $15 million out of his own pocket.
Therefore, although Mianen couldn't obey Chen Lin, he respected him very much and focused on his opinions during the shooting.
"Really? Then I'll go and talk to the cameraman!"
After hearing what Chen Lin said, Mianen couldn't hide her excitement and would go to communicate with the photographer in the next second.
"No, I've agreed to him."
Chapter completed!
