Chapter 65: No stop

"Smelling the Fragrance" started filming at Verdel Boys' High School in early October. Although Al Pacino's outdoor scenes at school only had a few short shots, he still came to the crew to report them early.

As a result, his arrival attracted a large number of students to watch. If the school had not helped to maintain order, I would not know what the chaos would be like.

Even so, it took an afternoon to shoot only a few campus panoramic mirrors except for Pacino's camera.

Have you seen it?This is the charm of the Godfather of Corleon.Adrian jokingly said during the break.

If I know this will happen, I will wait until you finish shooting before coming over.Pacino was a little sad.

It doesn't matter. Any crew will encounter this kind of problem, so don't worry too much.Adrian didn't take it seriously.

After the onlookers finished shooting these shots and the onlookers left almost, Pacino looked at the time and prepared to leave.

Although the crew still has a lot of shots to shoot today, it is basically all at night, so Adrian sent him to the school gate.

Surprisingly, when we arrived at the school gate, several reporters were already guarding there. After seeing Pacino, we immediately rushed up to ask questions. These guys had a very sensitive sense of smell.

Pacino, are you here at Weldell Men's High School today to shoot a new movie?

It is said that this time it was working with genius director Adrian Cowell. Is that true?

What role are you playing? Can you tell me, Al?

The reporters asked questions in a verbal way and handed him various recording equipment as soon as possible.

Pacino frowned but did not show an unhappy look, and replied with a smile: Yes, I did work on a new movie with Adrian. Although it was the first time, I didn’t know much about him, but his excellent script touched me, and I like this role very much.But if you want to inquire about the plot, I'm sorry I can't reveal anything. Gentlemen, I have an agreement with the crew.Having said that, Adrian is here, you can go and ask him.

As he said that, he pulled Adrien, who was about to retreat, to his side. Adrien shook his head funny and helplessly, and reached out to say hello to the reporters.

The reporters were stunned. Although the name of the genius director has been quite resounding over the past year, few media have published photos of him, and few people have interviewed him, so the reporters did not come back to their senses for a while.

It's no wonder that the public wants to see all kinds of gossip about those glamorous big stars. Except for senior movie fans, few people pay attention to the film directors, so entertainment reporters also have relatively few reports on the directors.

The professional quality made the reporters quickly react, and several of them immediately turned the microphone and pointed it at Adrian.

Although everyone knows that Adrian is only 23 years old, he is still surprised at his youth after seeing the real person.

As far as I know, your first two works have achieved great results, and the third one is about to be released, why are you rushing to make the fourth one, Mr. Adrian?

How did you make two outstanding works in a row over a year, Mr. Adrian?I heard that the third work that will be released recently has also received great praise. What do you think of this question?

Why did you think of inviting Al in a new movie?Can you talk about your thoughts?Mr. Adrian.

Faced with these questions, Adrian quickly made a gesture of being calm: I wanted to work with Al a long time ago. His performance in the "Godfather" series has always been my favorite, and it is really exciting to invite him this time.Although the new movie is a remake of European movies, I promise that it is no less exciting than the original one.As for why the fourth part was planned before the third work was released, you all know that inspiration will not always stop in your mind.

Although he has been doing movies for more than a year and has not dealt with the media, Adrian, who is talking freely, is not afraid of such a scene. However, compared to Pacino, who is still surrounded by most reporters, it is particularly obvious that he is constantly surrounded by reporters after getting in the car.

But when Adrian turned toward the school, the little depression disappeared.

Compared to the life of being chased by paparazzi like a big star, controlling everything behind the scenes is what he wants most.

Soon, night fell, and the crew immediately started shooting night scenes, that is, a group of students were preparing to play the principal the next day, and the supporting actor Charlie happened to see this scene.

Very good, let's do it again, be careful not to make mistakes, Casper.Adrian, who was behind the camera, affirmed the shot and then loudly asked everyone to shoot it again as a backup.

The role of Charlie is a young actor named Casper Yagge who is about his early 20s. He was recommended by the casting department and has been a supporting role in several low-cost works. His performance experience is pretty good.

But the main reason why he was selected was that his handsome appearance looked more like a young white-faced person.

Since this character is a student, it is better to find a handsome and handsome actor. As for whether the other party will be labeled as a face-to-face player in the future, it doesn't matter to Adrian.

After about two working days of shooting the school's outdoor scene, it took another two working days to shoot the scenes of Lieutenant Colonel Frank at home. The crew moved directly to New York to prepare for shooting the outdoor scene.

As planned, we should have taken the shots in the studio first and then went to New York to go out for a scene, but after discussing with the assistant and assistant director, Adrian found that this was not appropriate.

If New York is saved for the last part, at least it will be after Thanksgiving. The first snowfall will come long ago, which is inconsistent with the season in the script, so after thinking about it for a while, Adrian decided to go to New York first.

Fortunately, all the locations were contacted long before the filming started, so we just need to adjust the time. The management department has done nothing in this regard.

Despite this, there are still many problems when shooting. For example, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel requires the crew to only shoot at night to avoid affecting their normal business.

This doesn't matter. There are not many outdoor scenes in the Waldorf Assistant Hotel, but I encountered trouble when applying for a blockade of streets for racing scenes.

Sometimes people came to the community organization and thought it was wrong here, and sometimes people came to the public welfare organization and thought it was wrong there. It took almost a day to settle these things. Then Adrian breathed a long sigh and it was not a pleasant thing to deal with these guys.

Because when filming "Shawshank Redemption", there was no such thing as TAHA asking for dead maggots as props. He did not take these charity organizations seriously, but unexpectedly he saw the other party's strength in New York. Fortunately, he did not delay filming on the Hudson River in Brooklyn.

who is he?The officer standing in front of the Red Ferrari looked at Lieutenant Colonel Frank sitting in the cab.

My boy, Charlie.The lieutenant colonel said with his eyes open and shaking his head, not like a blind man at all. He kept asking me to drive out. Can I let him down?

The young policeman suddenly laughed. After thinking for a while, he said: Okay, I can let you go, but if there is a condition, I will send the car back to the car immediately, okay?

The two sides talked for a few more words. Under the deliberate guidance of the lieutenant colonel, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed, and the police soon left.

After the police car left, the lieutenant colonel, who was already quite energetic, suddenly became depressed, as if something had left his body.

very good!Adrian couldn't help but scream, and at the same time he clapped his hands.

Al Pacino is worthy of being an old actor. After squatting in the blind yard for more than ten days, he quickly summarized the performance method: he did not focus his eyes when watching anything.

And he got into the state very quickly. When he started to lose his temper, you would definitely not find any other character in him. He was the irritable Lieutenant Colonel Frank who had served as the adjutant of General Patton.

Sometimes he is immersed in the role even when he is resting, such as walking with a foldable cane, or talking to someone else but looking away.

Such professionalism is naturally worthy of admiration, so when Adrian applauded, the crew members also applauded.

Pacino on Ferrari wiped his face and regained his spirit. He smiled at everyone and walked out of the car. However, from the inadvertent trance between his eyebrows, he had not completely escaped from the role.

Adrian didn't say much, patted his shoulder and let everyone rest for almost half an hour before continuing again.

The most important scene in New York is this racing scene, and the rest are some fragmented scenes, such as shopping with Charlie or arguing.

While filming the disputed scene, Adrian specially arranged such a scene. Lieutenant Colonel accidentally fell into the flowers after having a minor friction with Charlie.

Unfortunately, this shot was an accident in the original "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman", so Adrian had to laugh secretly.

Because the camera is quite messy, the two actors have to keep changing their clothes and shoot on different streets.

As a result, it quickly attracted many movie fans and reporters. The fans were fine. They were willing to listen to the advice of the crew's employees, so the reporters were in trouble and always tried every means to find out some news. In addition to Pacino, Adrian was also their goal.

After the last time I was interviewed outside the school, many people were surprised by Adrian. His third work was still being promoted and had not been released yet, and he actually started to make a new movie. And he was working with the famous Al Pacino, which was incredible.

More importantly, this guy is still a newcomer who has entered the entertainment industry for less than two years and has actually won awards at two major European film festivals.

The public's curiosity about him was therefore much more than before, and naturally, the motivation of entertainment journalists also increased a lot.

So, in order to finish the New York footage in the shortest time, Adrian simply attracted all his attention to himself.

This is a movie that is almost perfect. Of course, I'm not saying that my work is impeccable. I mean, this movie will make you feel depressed and bored at the beginning. When this feeling accumulates to the pinnacle, it will suddenly vent with the plot and make people feel extremely happy. At this point, I did a great job in this movie.
