Clink, come here and set up the light stand!And you, um...what is your name?OK, Bright, move this thing over there and ask them to clear the venue, hurry up!
With the voice of the director's assistant, the motel room was busy, and the crew of the Pulp Fiction crew arranged the scenes to prepare for the next shooting under the supervision of an assistant director, while Adrian, as the director, talked about the scene with Bruce Willis on the other side.
As Adrian expected, John Travolta, who fell to the trough, agreed after only thinking for a few minutes, and only received a $100,000 salary. Of course, the box office share still needs to be written into the contract. After all, he is still a big star who has been famous for a long time. Anyway, if the box office fails, he will not get anything.
Adrian didn't care too much. No one except him would know how much box office this movie could get. Travolta has already starred at the lowest price and has not given a share of the money. It really doesn't conform to the rules, so it just suppresses the share of the money.
The same is true for Samuel Jackson. He has just made his mark and is a well-known genius director in the circle, so he has no opinion on the conditions offered.
Only Bruce Willis, although he is not as popular as two years later, his current value is not low, and he directly offered a price of 7 million yuan.
Adrian naturally refused to accept it. No matter what, the cost cannot be higher than the original version, right?
So after several negotiations, Willis finally reduced his salary to 3 million, and the price was part of the box office share, but it was lower than Travolta.
It seems like he has lost money. If everything goes well, Bruce will definitely get more than 4 million.
But Adrian doesn't think so. This is an opportunity to have a good relationship with Bruce. He has a fancy to Travolta, Jackson and Willis's agents. If they can be dug up, it will be of great help to the development of his agent company.
Impatient and angry, your feeling is impatient and angry, and you are also a little panicked, because the gold watch is left to you by your father through hardships, which is very important to you.But you can't vent completely because your woman is here, although you are angry at her forgot to bring a gold watch, although you are thinking in your heart: Oh, this stupid woman!But you still love him after all.
Adrian said in a gesture.
Ed, do you think this is OK?Willis said this after pondering for a while.
He closed his eyes and brewed his emotions. He suddenly raised his head and breathed rapidly. His shoulders and lower abdomen were violently rising and falling. His hands were raised and they kept clenching into fists and spreading them open. This emotion lasted for several seconds before he slowly calmed down.
very good!Adrian clapped his hands and praised him, That's it, you did a good job, Blues, the guys who said you had a bad acting should jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.
This is too exaggerated, Ed.Willis touched his sparse hair and laughed, very glad you were satisfied.
Then, let's start!Adrian saw the gesture that the assistant director had made for him, and patted Willis on the shoulder and walked towards the camera.
All the shots will be taken outside this time, and the venues required are motels, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, basements, etc. It is much cheaper to rent these places in the suburbs than building them in studios.
The only trouble is that you need to transfer it over. If the bar and restaurant used for shooting are too close to each other, it will be easy to get rid of it.
Adrian originally wanted to go to the restaurant where Kate had been robbed before to film the robbery scene, but after careful thinking, it was left behind. The security there still did not improve much. Moreover, the two robbers who robbed last time have not been arrested so far, and the American police are not very capable, so let it go!
Now the filming is the second of three stories: "Golden Watch".
Willis plays Butcher, a boxer who plays an underground boxing match. He has a gold watch left by his father. He attaches great importance to this gold watch and has to take it with him wherever he goes.
This time, the gangster boss Masha gave him some money and asked him to fight fake punches in the next boxing match.
Butch pretended to agree but put all the money on him, and then beat the opponent to death in the game, thus bringing a lot of money to take his girlfriend away.
However, her girlfriend left the gold watch that she valued the most at home. Butch had to go back to get it, but ended up hitting Masha who was waiting for the rabbit at his house. A series of strange things happened, and he actually reconciled with Masha and escaped with money.
In fact, what Adrian wanted to film the third story "Bonnie's Situation". The scenes of this story are basically indoors, and the scenes in the restaurant can be finished until the last time.
But Willis only has 2 weeks and he has another movie to shoot, so Adrian had to shoot "Golden Watch" first.
In fact, the main scene of this story is also indoors, with three main places: a motel, a grocery store and its basement, and Butch's home.
However, there is one of the scenes that are the pursuit of Masha and Butch. This scene is filmed in front of many people on the sunny streets, and requires many extras, which is very troublesome to deal with.
Fortunately, at least Willis gave him a surprise. The strong man's acting skills are not as rough as his appearance. For example, in the warm scene in the motel, he used body language to just show the gentleness of the character, and did not make Karina Pramo uncomfortable in the opposite scene.
Unfortunately, his appearance is slightly...
How to say it, it is very tough, with a square face as if it was carved out of a knife. Although the eyes are a little small, it gives people a sense of perseverance. No wonder he is famous for being a tough guy in "Die Hard".
But it is precisely because of this that after playing too many tough guys, they are limited in their image, and trying other roles makes the audience feel inconsistent, and over time they are also awarded the title of facial paralysis.
Well, let’s not mention those, after spending three days filming the scenes at the motel, Adrian began preparing for the next scene.
In order, it should be the grocery store, the chase battle, and finally the scene at Butch's house, because at Butch's house, there is a scene where Travolta was shot by Willis. Put the scenes here to the end, and you can continue to shoot Travolta's scenes after Willis finished shooting.
But after considering it, Adrian decided to shoot the chase first. Anyway, this scene is relatively short, and the sooner it is completed, the better.
However, the plan never changes quickly, whether it is a long-term plan or a temporary plan, just the second day after Adrian began filming the chase scene, the list of nominations for the 64th Oscars was released.
