Chapter 450 Two groups of people, two groups of things
At this time, the studio is very busy. The first shot was shot yesterday, which can be regarded as a beginning.
When Guo Fan followed Ivanka in, the set was busy. Several executive directors were walking back and forth, and the staff placed the props as required.
Ivanka led Guo Fan to little Gilbert. Little Gilbert saw Guo Fan and curiously asked: "Aren't you guys having a rest today? Why didn't you go out to play?"
Guo Fan touched his head and said, "I want to study seriously."
"What you say is hypocritical." Little Gilbert exposed Guo Fan's true face: "You are just curious and came to take a look."
"Uh," Guo Fan thought the same, and he was indeed curious.
After all, I have never seen little Gilbert film, so of course I am curious.
Strictly speaking, a place like a filming set is not a place where confidentiality is kept strictly confidential. When "Lord of the Rings" was filmed, so many people were watching, and even one more Guo Fan was nothing.
Moreover, hand-held photography and video recording are not convenient these days. After more than ten years, the video recording function of smartphones has developed, and it is possible to leak what the crew wants to shoot.
But there’s nothing to worry about either. Shooting is only part of the production process of a film and television drama, and there are many more steps to follow!
The first scene to be shot today, which is also the first day of filming for "The Unparalleled", is the scene where Ido Dash, played by Tom Hanks, draws stamps in prison.
For this scene, Tom Hanks practiced painting with fishbones for a week.
Before filming, Tom Hanks and Gilbert Jr. said: "I studied painting in high school, and later joined a painting club when I was studying at California State University.
For this movie, I also hired a painting teacher to learn how to paint and how to draw dollar bills.
But I never imagined that one day I would use the fish bone spurs and the paint that melted after the wall paint peeled off to draw a stamp. "
"Ido, if you don't want to draw, I can find a substitute for you." Little Gilbert joked.
"No," Tom Hanks immediately waved his hand in refusal: "As a great fake painter, I have to go into battle myself.
And I’ve been practicing for a long time so I can’t practice in vain. "
This scene was actually shot in one go. Tom Hanks actually used fishbones and wall paint to complete a stamp painting.
Many details on the stamps have been copied perfectly, with almost no flaws to be found.
So Ido Dash, played by Tom Hanks, successfully used this fake stamp to send the letter.
As for why not use real stamps? Because stamps are very expensive in prison, Ido Dash has no money and can only make fake ones.
From the opening scene, the character characteristics of Ido Dash are highlighted. He is careful, steady, and has superb counterfeiting skills.
After filming the scene, little Gilbert also said to Ivanka: "Ivanka, keep this stamp. This is a stamp drawn by Tom Hanks himself. Keep it for use."
"Got it," Ivanka put the letter with this stamp in a small box.
The prison scenes were shot in a studio. In fact, except for the location scenes, most of the scenes were shot in the studio.
The crew only had to shoot locations in Canada and Mexico, and the rest could be taken care of in Los Angeles.
Guo Fan worked as a newbie helper on the crew of "Wushuang" for a day, which broadened his horizons a lot and also saw how the crew of a great director works.
To put it simply, it means efficient communication, efficient handover, on-site layout, etc., which should be arranged in advance. If the actors are in good condition, the filming progress will be quite smooth.
Although the crew of "The Mystery of the Spell" is also a Hollywood crew, Alfonso Cuaron and Tsui Hark obviously do not have as strong control over the crew as Gilbert Jr.
This is normal. In fact, on the "Mystery of the Spell" crew, when Gilbert Jr. was away, the one with the most say was producer Stephen Schmidt. Stephen Schmidt represents Little Gilbert and the film company. The two directors must shoot according to the pre-planned shooting plan and do not even have the right to edit.
Cheng Long has a certain status. The action design of the "Mystery of the Spell" series was all produced by his team. But he was also speechless when it came to filming plot direction and editing.
Guo Fan only figured this out when he returned to the hotel from the crew of "Wu Shuang".
Li Haoyang and Guo Fan lived in the same house, and the four of them had a not-so-delicious Chinese meal in Chinatown. Some people who came here heard that they were from China and looked at them with contempt.
In Li Haoyang’s words: “These people spend their days washing dishes and picking up garbage abroad, but they feel they are superior to others.”
Guo Fan smiled and said, "Isn't it often said in magazines? You can afford to live in a big house just by washing dishes and eat donuts and fried chicken every day."
"Shit!" Li Haoyang got angry when he mentioned this: "The Chinese food we went to Chinatown to eat was not authentic at all. The fried chicken donuts were cheap, but who knows if they were sick chickens?"
After Li Haoyang finished complaining, he asked Guo Fan: "Hey, where did you go shopping today?"
"I went to the set of "Wushuang" for a day." Guo Fan answered honestly.
"Holy shit, can you go in?" Li Haoyang couldn't believe it.
"Of course it was Miss Ivanka who actually took me in. I also watched the Oscar-winning actor perform live. Can you believe it? He can actually draw with fish bone..."
Guo Fan is not a calm character. If he wanted to be stable, he would not have touched upon science fiction movies in his previous life, which seemed like a fantasy at that time.
At this time, he was still young and had just graduated from college. It was the time when young people were in their prime of life, so he spoke with great joy.
Coupled with his unique bubble sound, it is very distinctive.
After hearing Guo Fan's bragging, Li Haoyang regretted a little: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone with Ma Qiang and the others. I could have gone with you."
"By the way, where are Ma Qiang and the others?" Guo Fan asked.
"Someone wanted to go to the bar to hang out, and they went with them," Li Haoyang said.
"Why didn't you follow?" Guo Fan asked again.
Li Haoyang shook his head slightly and replied: "We will start work tomorrow. How about getting drunk at this time? No way. Besides, the bar doesn't seem to be safe."
It was indeed unsafe. When Guo Fan and Li Haoyang went to the crew to report the next day, they found that Ma Qiang was not there, so they asked the other two partners.
One of the partners said: “Last night we went with the big brother from the crew, but he disappeared while we were drinking.
Later, he was found in an alley behind the bar. He was beaten and all his valuables were taken away. "
Li Haoyang affirmed: "Yes, he must have gone to pick up some foreign girl, and his sweetheart found out about it, and then he was beaten."
Guo Fan also knew that Ma Qiang was interested in foreign girls recently. He was just curious: "But didn't Catherine say that his thing is too small?"
As soon as these words came out, the other three people raised eyebrows.
Li Haoyang patted Guo Fan on the shoulder and said, "Don't tell Ma Qiang about this, otherwise he will become anxious."
You can say whatever you want, but you can't say that Xiao He is not good, especially Ma Qiang.
At this time, Ma Qiang was already lying in the hospital, and the crew told him coldly that because he had caused this incident himself, he would pay for the medical expenses himself.
