Chapter 1274 Suspicions about big names
Sunshine, just right.
Warm and comfortable, dry and bright, people can't help but wander in it.
The morning in Memphis in February is a little cold, a little lazy, and a little comfortable. Although it is not as warm as spring, you can still feel the coldness of winter; but compared to the hot and dry sunshine in Los Angeles, it seems much warmer here. , bright but not dazzling, splendid but not intense, and the steps walking down the street can't help but become brisk.
The night has just faded, and the city is slowly waking up. The body seems a little stiff and has not yet fully relaxed. Leave the shadows indoors, get into the sunshine, light a cigarette, and be lazy for a while before entering the busy daily life. If paired with A cup of coffee and donuts——
Everything is perfect.
Finally, "Walking with Songs" is ready to start filming, and today is the day to start shooting.
After waiting and waiting, postponing and postponing, the day finally arrived.
Early in the morning, the crew arrived at the filming site one after another.
But as they looked at each other and exchanged glances, they couldn't control the bitter smile on their lips. A sense of absurdity arose spontaneously, making people want to laugh.
"...according to the plan, didn't the first scene be filmed on Linden Avenue? Why did you end up here?"
"Who knows. Everything was arranged properly, but the formation suddenly changed."
"I heard it was because of Anson."
"Of course it's Anson, it can only be Anson. Who else could it be besides him? The whole crew revolves around him, so what happened to him this time?"
"The rumor is that he thought the first scene should be shot in the studio because he was 'still in the studio' and 'it felt like the right thing to do.'"
"And then we are here? All the preparations made in the past half month have been overturned?"
"Hey, after all, that's Anson Wood. We should be lucky. His top superstar takes his role seriously. We should be happy that we can witness the legend."
Haha, hahaha.
There was a roar of laughter, but the sarcasm and joking behind the laughter could not be more obvious.
Indeed, "Walking with Songs" finally started filming, a full week later than originally planned——
Not one day, not two days, but seven days, a whole week.
However, after finally starting the filming, there are still problems. Just yesterday, an order was issued and the crew's filming plan was completely overturned.
For "Walking with Songs", the producer and director James hope to restore the texture of that era as much as possible and insist on shooting on location. This idea is also recognized by Forestry Pictures and they fully cooperate.
Therefore, they need to shoot in different cities——
Memphis. Nashville. Dallas. Houston. Los Angeles. New York.
Wait, wait.
Under such a situation, in order to control costs, they could not shoot as they pleased. Instead, they disrupted the script and completed the shooting according to the city and shooting location.
It poses a severe test to the crew and actors.
Especially actors.
Because this means that actors cannot interpret life according to the emotional context of real characters. They must fully understand the character's life trajectory and emotional state, and then show it anytime and anywhere as required.
Like Memphis.
Here, Johnny Cash ended his military career and returned to the North American continent. He got married here and had two children, but he was trapped in a mediocre life and could hardly afford to pay the rent. However, he still cherished the dream of Musical dreams are about to come true.
Here, the married life of Johnny Cash and Vivian encountered many challenges. Although there were moments of happiness, they hit the wall more often, until Johnny seized the opportunity and took the first step towards his music dream. This is a life full of ups and downs, occupying a long period of time in Johnny Cash's life, but the movie needs to be condensed into five minutes and ten minutes to show it. The performance requirements for the actors can be imagined.
According to the original plan, the crew is preparing to start official filming on Linden Avenue——
This was Johnny and Vivian's first home, where they spent a long time.
Director Mangold selected a few relatively simple scenes from many scenes as a starting point, hoping to help Anson enter Johnny's world.
Everything has been arranged.
But he never expected that the plan would change twelve hours before starting the machine.
To boot, instead of Linden Avenue, head to Union Avenue.
706 Union Avenue is now a museum where fans from all over the world come to pay their respects; it was once the home of Sun Records.
Sun Records, founded by Sam-Philips, is where Elvis Presley got his start, as was Johnny Cash. This record company has unearthed many country and rock stars. , held an important position in the golden age of music.
Unfortunately, it gradually became history.
Despite this, Sun Records still holds a unique place in the hearts of fans, and a large number of fans visit the museum every year.

This time "Walking with the Song" went to Memphis for filming. Mangold spent a lot of time negotiating with the museum, and finally convinced the museum to rent the venue to the crew to authentically present the scene of the year.
However, even if the museum agreed to this matter, it did not expect such an unexpected situation——
The shooting date was exactly two weeks in advance.
The Sun Record Museum is not a famous historical heritage building. There are not many tourists who come to visit the museum. Winter is the off-season now, so there may only be less than a hundred people in a whole day!
but!
A small group of people are still tourists. If the museum has to be closed due to the filming work of the crew, it would be really disappointing for the tourists who came specially to visit.
The museum was dissatisfied with the crew's spontaneity.
No one knows how Mangold convinced the museum to accept the crew's nonsense, but aside from the museum, the crew's own staff also found it ridiculous and couldn't believe that what they were seeing actually happened.
For the crew, everything needs to be planned and planned. What they don’t like the most is emergencies——
Like this, Anson had a whim, and the result was that the staff stayed up all night and stayed up all night to help clean up the mess, burning their lives to turn the actors' random inspirations into reality.
Anyway, those "artists" just sit in their trailers and give orders. As a result, they, the hard workers, are exhausted one by one.
To be honest, no matter how charming Anson is, they still find it difficult to accept him.
What's more, Anson had already kept them waiting in an emergency.
They arrived in Memphis early and were ready to go. Each one of them was already ready to go. Anson's move made them all hold back, and they stayed in place, like a wooden man.
The filming of the movie hasn't even started yet, but the crew is already furious.
Sure enough, a big name is a big name, different from the others, not to mention the actor's professional ability, but his ability to toss the crew and the staff is already qualified——
One hundred percent big-name style. Regardless of anything else, the momentum must first be established, and the entire formation can be directly mobilized.
hehe.
