Chapter 168 Start shooting at the same time

9days ago Urban Novels 8
Everyone is ready, we start the first trial shot.As Adrian began to shout loudly, "Shapes' Love History" officially began filming.

This story is generally relatively simple. It is basically derived from "Romeo and Juliet", and then supplemented with many small details. For example, the heroine's name Viola comes from "Twelfth Night", one of Shakespeare's four major comedies.

The reason why this movie is loved by many people is that the author interprets the real and illusory feeling of his work.

However, in Adrian's opinion, the original film still has some shortcomings in this regard and has not fully utilized this advantage.

After all, this is also a new style, and the producers are not sure how many people will accept it, which is one of the reasons why the script will be refrigerated.

But Adrian knew exactly how popular this style was. Although "Shapes' Love History" won the Oscar for Best Movie, 50% or more because of its public strength, it cannot erase its excellence.

So he was more bold in this regard, adding more small details from Shakespeare's plays. For example, at the beginning of the movie, the theater owner was finally able to open his door because of an epidemic, but without a good script, he had to urge Shakespeare, who was exhausted from inspiration, and finally used threatening means.

Damn it, you know, William, you still owe me a lot of money!The theater owner roared loudly.

Enough, Charlotte, look at what you are now, no different from the greedy Jews.Shakespeare said indifferently.

Hell, either pay back the money or give the script.

The boss said angrily, he knew that the other party knew that his threat was to pretend, but this did not stop him from continuing to pretend. Listen, if you delay any further, I will apply to the judge to cut a pound of meat from your chest to repay!

Very good.Shakespeare's hippie answer, Go, Charlotte, I'm very willing to do this.

Hey, William, you shouldn't be honest.The person next to him asked immediately.

It doesn't matter, it's just a pound of meat, no more or less, no blood, otherwise he can be accused of intentional murder.Shakespeare said leisurely, and immediately made the theater owner angry.

This joke comes from another of Shakespeare's four major comedies: "The Merchant of Venice".

Adrian even changed the name of the theater owner to Charlotte.

There are many such jokes. Of course, Adrian also carefully guarded the bottom line and discussed the application of these jokes with many British drama screenwriters through the relationship between Shawen and others, so as to avoid excessive or insufficient.

Cut!What are you doing, Dan!Sleepwalking?I want you to play a cynical libertarian who is talented but now he is in trouble, but what are you now?It is already good to describe it as a ruffian!Or are you not playing Shakespeare but a doctor incarnation?!

After the call was stopped, Adrian began to scold without hesitation.

For a moment, there was no sound on the set, only his sharp tone was echoing.

No one dared to interrupt. He was the one who had worked with Adrian many times and knew his style very well. Unlike many directors, he almost never scolded anyone, but once something unforgivable mistake was made, no matter how thick his face was, his sarcastic words could make him blush.

Well... Mr. Director, I'm actually wrong... After Adrian mocked him for several minutes, Jeffrey Rush, who played the theater owner, played against Dennis, coughed lightly.

OK, Jeffrey, don’t beg for him. You have done a very good job, far better than him, and you deserve your honor.

Adrian interrupted him, but he finally stopped his mockery.

I know you worked hard and did a lot of homework before this, Dan, but this is not an excuse for you to make mistakes again and again. Now rest, if you make such mistakes again, then I can only change people.

He said this at the end, Dennis always stood there and listened honestly, and finally owed slightly.

Although these words sounded very harsh, Dennis knew that Adrian had no malicious intentions. After all, he had discovered him by himself, and he still understood his thoughts over the years.

Adrian actually didn't want to be so harsh at the beginning, but the current situation is different from before. The actors need to get into the state in the shortest time every time they shoot, because

Jeffrey, I think you seem to be in good condition. Why don’t you go there with me to try it?After letting everyone else rest, Adrian adjusted his emotions and asked Rush in a half-joking tone.

I have no problem, I don’t know if there are any problems with the makeup artist and the dressmaker.Rush spread his hands and said humorously.

Some of the important roles in the movie, although some have been replaced, some have not been replaced, such as Colin Fells, who plays Sir Weiser, Judy Denchi, who plays the theater owner, who just won the Oscar for Best Actor at the 69th Oscar.

This British actor is not simple. No matter what kind of role he is, he can be interpreted without any difficulty, whether it is a wretched and cunning little person, a sinister and vicious villain, or a serious and serious decent person.

Of course, he doesn't have many scenes in "Shapes' Love History", so Adrian will still invite him to join more for another movie.

OK, I've said enough, so let's start.

In the indoor studio not far from the set of "Shapes' Love History", another movie has also begun filming, that is "Elizabeth".

I said before that I started shooting two movies at the same time, but it was not just a joke. Adrian really wanted to challenge himself.

This is not a particularly difficult thing for him. The pictures are all in his mind. With these as references, and it has been almost tempered in the past few years. And after deciding to shoot, he is preparing and has a great grasp.

The biggest problem is that you can't mess up the two movies in your head while you're slapping.

One of the main reasons for the shooting at the same time is that the times are the same, both in the Elizabeth I period, but one is the early stage and the other is the midst stage, and it can be used for everything from costumes to props to sets.

But this also means that it is easy to confuse the two movies during shooting, which will cause waste.

It would have been a bit of a waste to start shooting two movies at the same time. If Adrian was shooting this movie, then that movie would have to be suspended. If it was wasted, it would make the already not-so-low cost even more expensive.

However, this problem is very troublesome for other directors, but it is nothing for Adrian. It is very simple for him to switch his thoughts and not be disturbed by each other.

So it doesn't matter as long as there is no chaotic situation between the staff of the two crews. Adrian is still very confident about this. This time he brought both teams to the UK and worked for a lot of time under his guidance. Even if there is still a problem, it will not affect the shooting progress as long as it is within a suitable range.

Therefore, the final trouble lies in the state of the actors.

As we all know, Adrian makes movies very quickly, and as long as the actors are in the form of the original films that can only be completed for two or three months, he can reduce his time spend at least half.

However, because he was in a hurry every time, most of the savings were invested in overtime pay, so the cost of the movie did not drop much compared to the original version.

Although it takes more time to shoot two movies at the same time, the cost of shooting will naturally be relatively higher. It is impossible to save too much and invest in overtime pay. In addition, there are many other things in the middle, so he set the shooting time for four months.

Even so, the actors need to cooperate quite well and stay in shape for most of the time to achieve this goal, so Dennis would have been so severely criticized before.

Very good, this shot has passed.After turning the strap back and looking back, Adrian thought about it and announced the end of the shooting.

This is an interior scene of the Balmoral Palace built at the advice of British historians. There was no Buckingham Palace at that time, and the shot of Mary I becoming hysterical because of her miscarriage.

Because she has no children, once she dies, her sister Elizabeth will inherit the throne. For Mary I, who believes in Catholicism and executes many Protestants in the country, a Protestant pagan sister is undoubtedly a good choice.

The actors in these shots have no roles in Shakespeare's Love History, so the filming went smoothly, but they should have been finished, but Adrian asked someone to re-arrange the set to prepare for another shot.

Jeffrey, ready?Adrian snorted at Rush, who was already dressed in gorgeous clothes and was still being taken care of by a dressmaker.

Please give me a few minutes.Rush said, although he played various roles in the movie, but reality in life he is a good gentleman.

After walking back and forth on the set twice, taking a few more breaths, closing his eyes and brewing for a while, he struggled and nodded to Adrian. His temperament suddenly became a little gloomy and cold, and he was completely different from the somewhat vulgar theater owner just now.

In addition to having roles in the original "Shapes' Love History" and "Elizabeth", Jeffrey Rush has a more important role in "Elizabeth". He plays Francis Walsingham, who was once one of the important heroes of Elizabeth I in history. He created a detailed spy network for her in Europe. Although she could not be omnipresent, she could not hide any changes in the European continent.

As for whether he is her face or not, I don’t know. Although Elizabeth I was known as the Virgin Queen, she just said that she had not gotten married and had children, and she also looked for many men.

Since Adrian invited him to play a role in "Shapes' Love History" and started filming "Elizabeth" at the same time, how could he not let him play this role?

In fact, to be precise, he should be the first to invite him to play Francis Walsingham in "Elizabeth", and then considering that "Shapes Love History" was filming at the same time, he handed over the role to him.

Rush was a little hesitant at the beginning and played different roles in two movies that started filming at the same time. Although he was confident that he was excellent, would this be a bit arrogant?

But the call from Adrian himself touched his heart.

You know, I am a person who likes to create miracles, and I have also created many miracles, so why not try it and see if I can create miracles too.That's what he said.

The cameras soon took place outside the built windows, surrounded by a green curtain, which in the later period would be replaced by European cityscapes from the late medieval period.

Of course, those are all beautified. Just like the theaters and markets on "Shapes' Love History", it is impossible to completely copy the medieval scenery. No one will think of life in that era after reading the introduction to various medieval living customs.

Okay, back to the topic, this scene is about Elizabeth recalling the exiled Walsingham after he ascended the throne, but her enemies all knew that this guy was difficult to deal with and wanted to bribe the people around him and kill him.

But Walsingham was prepared early and killed his bribed servant in an understatement.

Very good, nicely done, Jeffrey.Adrian was very satisfied with Rush's performance.

Thank you, but if I do this a few more times, I will still have problems.Rush said after breathing a long time.

Don't worry, I will try to stagger the arrangements.Adrian laughed, Unfortunately, we have to go back and finish the rest of "Shapes' Love History".

It doesn't matter, let's try it out.Jeffrey shrugged.

Next, we returned to the set of "Shapes' Love History". The people here were almost resting, and Dennis seemed to have adjusted his condition, as if he couldn't wait to give it a try.

However, Adrian did not continue to shoot the remaining shots before. Rush came from "Elizabeth" and spent a lot of energy. He had to give him some time to rest and adjust.

Although Dennis has been preparing for a long time, he still played five or six times in the following shooting because he couldn't show that temperament.

However, Adrian didn't say anything. The previous threat of substitution seemed to be thrown behind his head. Once he got NG, he just ordered to do it again.

Dennis did not disappoint his expectations. He finally passed this shot after the seventh NG, and passed it once in the next few shots.

Papa, after this scene came to an end, Adrian gently patted his hand with a smile of approval on his face.

As the others clapped, Jeffrey Rush was also among them. Dennis bowed slightly amid the warm applause, and then he was obviously relieved.

Beautiful job, but now it's just started, keep going.Adrian walked over and patted his shoulder and said.

Unlike Joseph Fiennes, who played the original protagonist, Dennis has never played the role of Shakespeare's drama. Well, that's not right. At least when he first started out in Hollywood, he also played roles in certain theaters, including Shakespeare's "Macbeth", but he played the guard of King Duncan of Scotland, and was killed shortly after he appeared.

But Dennis has something that others cannot compare with. His plasticity is quite high. From "Two Big Bowls" to now, he has played about ten characters. Although these characters have similarities in some places, almost no one thinks that he will perform with some expression or action when watching it.

With such plasticity and the difficulty of knowing the difficulty of opportunities, Dennis was very diligent and learned things very quickly. After knowing that he was going to star in "The Love History of Shakespeare", he not only watched all the main dramas of Shakespeare, but also often practiced them according to the stage plays on the video tape or the previous movies adapted from Shakespeare's drama. It is precisely because of this that Adrian let him play this role.

And this is one of the reasons why Jeffrey Rush was invited to play roles in both movies at the same time. He is also an actor who is good at various roles, but his appearance is not very pleasing. Dennis can learn a lot from him.

Moreover, he also has roles on both sides, and his role in "Elizabeth" is much more than Rush's role in "Shapes' Love History", so the task is relatively heavier. If he does not use some special methods to oppress him and let him master the temperament that people should have during that period as soon as possible, then the next shooting will be very troublesome.

Very good. Let’s continue with five minutes of rest. Work harder and finish the rest in one breath. Today we can finish the work.Adrian said immediately.

However, others can rest, but he cannot rest. He also has to discuss the specific arrangements for tomorrow with the deputy director and the heads of various departments.

Are you sure this is OK, Shawen?Adrian asked Shavin McDonald's, Kayla Knightley's mother.

Screenwriters usually follow the crew to facilitate the director to modify the script at some point. Since Adrian handed over the script to her and she did a good job contacting many professional screenwriters from the UK to contribute to the script, it is also very appropriate to let her take up this profession.

Yes, if you have any questions, I can consult them as soon as possible.Savan nodded.

very good.Adrian nodded and added: So is your husband.

Thanks.Shawen said with a smile.

Although Will Knightley is not very famous, he is basically a relatively outstanding actor. He has proved this last time in "Brave Heart". It is no big deal to give him a supporting role in "Elizabeth" this time, anyway...

By the way, how about Kaila?Does she like Nada's gift?When she came this morning, I saw that she seemed a little unhappy.Adrian suddenly asked.

Well... Shawen hesitated for a moment, and she seemed to have a fight with Emma.

A quarrel?Adrian was slightly surprised. Is it time?Emma didn't tell me either.

Sorry, you know, kids always have their own secrets.Shawen shrugged.

This is... Adrian nodded, wondering whether to go and see Kayla. This girl is very sensitive.

At this moment, Charlize came to him a few steps and reminded him: Ed, the time to pick up the plane is almost here.
