Chapter 185 The first guest appearance in life

"Little Gilbert, they say that those who were good-looking and handsome when they were young will no longer be beautiful when they grow up. Is that true?"

Watching the scenes between Haley and Bruce Willis on the set, Scarlett asked little Gilbert such a question.

"Oh, Scarlett, it usually seems so," little Gilbert replied.

Scarlett suddenly held her head in distress: "It's over, I will no longer be beautiful when I grow up, what should I do?"

Little Gilbert felt helpless as he looked at Scarlett, who was entangled in herself. This child has been having inexplicable thoughts recently.

He comforted: "It's okay, Scarlett, you are not in this category. You are the type that becomes more beautiful as you grow older."

"Really?" Scarlett raised her head in surprise, then pointed at Hailey and said, "What about him?"

"He," little Gilbert looked at him carefully and then said, "He is probably a bit difficult to deal with. He has a physique that makes him gain weight easily."

Scarlett felt balanced instantly. After Haley came down, Scarlett proudly said to Haley: "Haley, little Gilbert said you will gain weight."

Hailey looked at little Gilbert with an innocent face, and little Gilbert couldn't help but hit Scarlett's head and make her talk nonsense...

After Bruce Willis came down, he said to little Gilbert: "Oh my God, little Gilbert, Haley's performance is so great, I can't believe it, I am acting with a child.

Where did you find such a little genius? "

"It was recommended by Tom. Haley played his son in "Forrest Gump"." Little Gilbert replied.

Bruce Willis gave a thumbs up and said: "I think it's good. He looks like he has the potential to be the next Tom."

The film "The Sixth Sense" relies largely on the performance of Bruce Willis and Haley. The acting skills of the two are the key to holding up this film.

Haley's scenes were mainly shot later. Today's first scene is the opening scene of the first act of the film.

The character who plays patient Vincent at the beginning is called Donnie Wahlberg. In order to play this role, he lost forty-three pounds.

He looks like a skinny bamboo pole, which is more consistent with the state of being tortured by mental illness.

You can imagine the effort the actor put in to lose so much weight for a role that doesn't appear much. In order to live up to the actor's dedication, little Gilbert also showed a 200% attitude and strived for excellence.

Playing the role of Dr. Bruce Willis-Malcon's wife is Olivia Williams, an actress who has worked in low-budget comedies and TV series.

Olivia was not very beautiful, but she had the unique temperament of a family woman. During the audition, she was chosen by Gilbert at a glance.

Olivia was very happy to get the opportunity to work with little Gilbert and made a lot of preparations.

While performing on the set, she also designed some small plots herself. In the opening scene, she goes to the wine cellar to get wine with bare feet, performs a sexual dance, and prepares to applaud for love. These are all her own little designs.

Little Gilbert liked the actors' on-the-spot creativity very much, and Olivia's performance can be said to coincide with the performance in the original film.

But just when Dr. Malcolm was about to applaud his wife for love, his wife found that the window was broken and a man broke into the bathroom.

Dr. Malcolm walked over carefully to check the situation and saw a thin, naked man wearing boxer shorts standing in the middle of the bathroom.

He looked a little abnormal, his body was shrinking, and he was a little nervous and afraid.

Dr. Malcolm immediately comforted his wife: "Anna, don't move or make a sound."

After swallowing, Dr. Malcolm said to the thin man who broke into the bathroom: "This is No. 47 Yanghuai Street. You broke the window and broke into a private residence."

The thin man interrupted Dr. Malcolm: "You don't know anything."

"Ka!" Little Gilbert shouted, pulling the three actors back from the performance state. He said to Downey: "After Dr. Malcolm says there is an intrusion, you can speak."

Danny nodded, indicating that he understood and wanted to maintain this state.

Little Gilbert said to Bruce Willis: "Your eyes are a window, such a subtle moment, to reflect your emotions.

What should you have at this point? "

Bruce Willis thought for a while and said: "I should guess the purpose of the person coming, as well as worries about my wife, and out of professional instinct, I can clearly see that the person is sick,"

"That's right, let's rest for five minutes and think about it before we start again..."

Five minutes later, the filming started again, but little Gilbert stopped again, this time saying to Olivia: "A very important part of the movie is not on site, but it needs to be performed.

You need to participate in the rivalry between the two of them, so that you can better assist them in completing the performance. "

Olivia nodded to show that she understood.

The performance continued again, and this time it was much better. All three people participated in the performance and completed their respective performance tasks excellently.

"You forgot, I was cursed." The thin man cried: "You gave up on me, you gave up on me..."

The last sentence was yelled, showing that the patient's emotions had reached the extreme.

Dr. Malcolm tried his best to comfort the patient: "Vinson, I'm sorry if I couldn't help." Vincent turned around, and there were three weird scars on his back, which looked like he had been scratched.

Dr. Malcolm stood up and continued to comfort the patient: "But you have to let me try. Give me a chance..."

There was no chance. Before Malcolm could finish speaking, Vincent turned around and shot him. Doctor Malcolm fell with Anna's scream.

There is a lens design here. John Schwartzman pans the camera across the bathroom, Vincent raises the gun to commit suicide, and the camera freezes on a blurry photo.

Then in the next post, the screen turned around, Dr. Malcolm was holding his abdomen, and Anna quickly stepped forward: "Oh my God, my God, my dear."

Dr. Malcolm was still concerned about Vincent's condition and asked: "Is Vincent the same?"

"Stop talking, honey, stay awake and I'll call an ambulance."

The first scene of the film ends here. Although it is only a short seven or eight minutes, it took the crew a whole day to shoot.

After the filming was over, Bruce Willis came down and asked little Gilbert: "Director, is my character dead or alive? Why can't I understand it?"

Little Gilbert said: "It's okay if you don't understand it. You have to maintain this sense of doubt, which will help you perform better in the film."

Bruce Willis took off his wig, touched his bald head and said, "Okay, but this scene is still very enjoyable to perform. Downey's performance is great."

Downey was not in a psychotic state after the show. He joked: "It's a good thing it wasn't Die Hard, otherwise I wouldn't have succeeded."

"Of course, I am the Immortal God of War, a super police detective." Bruce Willis also made a joke.

After a few scenes with adults, it was time for Haley and her mother, Lynne Hill.

The role of mother is played by Toni Collette, who has appeared in "The Blue Storm" and "Muriel's Wedding" and is a pretty good actress.

Before filming, Annie and James Gunn set up the set, and little Gilbert was talking about the scene with Haley and Toni: "This scene is crucial and is one of the important moments that highlight the emotion of the film.

I won’t use a soundtrack during post-production. I rely entirely on your performances to bring the audience in. "

Toni said she had no problem, but she was more worried about Haley: "This long-shot performance, I'm worried that Cole won't be able to complete the performance."

It is a practice on the set to call the characters by their names, and the characters are called each other from the perspective of their respective relationships, so that the actors can better integrate into the characters and contribute better performance.

Facing Toni's question, Hailey said: "Mom, don't worry about me, I will complete the performance."

The two actors sat down in the car, and little Gilbert clapped his hands and said, "Let's take a test shot first to see the effect."

The two actors nodded and began to prepare.

Little Gilbert communicated with various departments using walkie-talkies, then sat in front of the monitor and announced the start of the scene.

Starting from the fireworks in hand, the camera slowly moves forward, and all kinds of living things such as vehicles parked on the roadside, vehicles in accidents, and passing pedestrians are reflected.

Eventually the camera found the car in which Lynn and Cole were driving, and the mother and son were having a conversation.

However, this scene was abandoned because one of the extras fell down because the road was too slippery and fell into the lead actor's car.

"I'm sorry, director, it's my fault." The extra actor who fell rubbed his leg, a little nervous, fearing that little Gilbert would be angry.

But little Gilbert didn't get angry because of this incident. After all, it was just an accident.

After some preparations, Little Gilbert announced that filming would start again.

At this time, James Gunn suggested: "Director, how about you appear on the scene?"

"I appeared on the scene? What to do?" Little Gilbert asked doubtfully.

"Play a driver. It's a little surprise and an easter egg for the fans." James Gunn suggested.

Not to mention, many movie fans have been looking forward to little Gilbert appearing in the movie, even if it's just a cameo.

Of course, little Gilbert also knew what the fans were thinking, and felt that James Gunn's idea was very constructive, so he agreed.

"Okay, then I'll show up, Annie, and watch the monitor with James to see what's going on."

Although he felt a little awkward about appearing in front of the camera, it only lasted a few seconds, and little Gilbert could bear it and passed it.

He sat on the seat and poked his head out. The camera continued to pass along the road just now, just in time to illuminate him.

In this way, a scene in little Gilbert's life was completed.

There are no lines, and even moviegoers won't be able to spot him if they don't pay attention. This is a little surprise, a little easter egg left for movie fans to dig out.

But apart from this little easter egg, the most important thing about this scene is the performance of the mother and son.
