Chapter 995 Go with the flow
Breathe, idiot, breathe!
Asif is reminding himself to avoid thinking. Any thinking is unnecessary. God will laugh if a fool thinks. So he just needs to focus on breathing and complete the most important scene of his career. It’s the same as countless scenes with lines but no lines in the past fifteen years.
Play his role and do his job.
Maybe, the protagonist of this movie is Anson Wood, but the protagonist of this scene is him, Asif Mandvi.
To be more precise, Mr. Aziz, Peter Parker's boss.
“Breathe.”
Asif clenched his fists heavily.
Then, opening his eyes, he knew he was ready.
On the side, Anson remained patient, standing in the position of his co-actor and waiting until he could feel a completely different aura exuding from Asif, just like Iron Man wearing armor. His eyes and expression were different, and he knew Asif was ready.
So, Anson stepped forward and returned to the starting position of the scene, indicating that he was ready.
This scene is not difficult, at least it is not difficult for Anson. The really difficult part is Asif. Asif’s nervousness and anxiety are completely normal, but Anson’s performance rhythm I was also disrupted, so I calmed down a little and adjusted.
A voice came to my ears——
The seventh attempt.
Anson then realized that they had failed six times, and maybe the seventh time would be the lucky one.
"Start shooting!"
Opening his eyes, Anson put his hands on the handlebars of the motorcycle, but the tires of the motorcycle did not land, but were placed on two anchors, which were placed on a wooden platform. , there are wheels on the four corners below, like a skateboard, with someone pushing it behind.
This ensures that Anson can focus on the performance while "driving"; if there is a need for close-up shots, the camera can be placed just in front of the motorcycle on the wooden platform to ensure that the shooting can proceed smoothly.
However, this time the camera lens was not focused on Anson, but on Asif directly opposite. Now Anson was ready to walk towards Asif, until he was in front of Asif, and then entered the camera frame.
"Parker."
"Parker!"
"Stop! No, no, no, no, stop!"
Mr. Aziz stood at the door of the pizza shop, raising his hands to stop Peter Parker, but obviously, Peter His thoughts were in another time and space, and he didn't notice the living person in front of him at all, and he was about to bump into it.
“Stop!”
Mr. Aziz shouted and finally pulled Peter back from outer space. The latter braked suddenly and stopped in front of Mr. Aziki. However, Mr. Aziz still dodged in a panic to save his own life. He put his hands on the handlebars of Peter's motorcycle and tried to block him.
Slightly funny.
No matter what, a disaster was avoided after all.
I was slightly shocked, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Aziq’s eyes were always on Peter, without caring about his awkward and embarrassing posture.
"Parker! You're late! Man, always late, always late, Mr. Late! Huh?"
Crackling, the anger was vented, and the voice continued to rise.
Peter tried to control the motorcycle, just like controlling a runaway wild horse, with a panicked face, "Sorry, Mr. Aziz, there is an... interference incident."
Looking down, he saw something in his jacket pocket. Spider-Man's mask was almost exposed, so Peter quickly put the mask back on his head.
Mr. Aziq had no time to pay attention to these details and complained all over, "Interference, interference, you always have all kinds of 'interferences' anyway." He didn't even look at Peter, "Please, twenty-one Someone ordered pizza a few minutes ago," he shouted as he entered the store. "Stuck!"
Sam's voice came, interrupting the shooting.
The air was slightly stiff, and the entire set held their breath, their eyes focused on Sam, and Asif stood stiffly in place.
Then, Sam waved his hand and said, "No problem."
In an instant, the crew members clapped their hands, cheered and whistled, and it was very lively, as if the crew had finally finished filming. Average.
Asif's tense nerves finally relaxed. He turned around and saw the crew cheering, and became even more embarrassed -
It was such a simple scene just now, with only two lines, but His mind went blank. The word "interference" was pronounced incorrectly. His tongue was tied and his brain was frozen. He was like a robot with a malfunctioning input method that kept getting stuck.
To make matters worse, when the camera paused, his brain returned to normal and the lines went smoothly; but when the camera started running, it was another disaster-
The cycle started over again.
Not to mention the director and other staff, even Asif can't stand himself.
Until now, finally!
The first scene of "Spider-Man 2" finally ended. It was not that smooth, but fortunately it did not fall into a worse quagmire. The filming was completed before the entire crew's heads exploded.
"Hey, good job." Anson gave a thumbs up.
Asif was so embarrassed that he scratched his head in embarrassment. Although Anson was as old as a son, he still needed Anson's help on the set.
Anson noticed and added, "How about we continue?"
Asif nodded repeatedly, "I feel very good now, director, I have no problem."
Actually, this scene is more than that, there are causes and consequences:
They needed to shoot the scene where Peter came riding a motorcycle, the scene where the motorcycle almost hit Mr. Aziz, the scene where Peter got off the motorcycle in a panic and tried to explain himself, etc.
A series of trivial shots include close-ups, panoramic shots, and crane arms. Moreover, the stunt shot in which the motorcycle is about to crash but suddenly brakes and lifts the entire rear wheel requires professional motorcycle stunt people to complete the shooting.
Not to mention that Anson does not have such skills, even if Anson does, for the sake of Asif's safety, it is best for professionals to go into battle.
In other words, it may take two hours to shoot this scene, which is not that simple.
After waiting for this scene to be shown in all aspects, the next scene is the scene of Peter and Mr. Aziz entering the pizza shop.
Later, this is the focus of the whole scene and also part of the plot. The two people will have a long dialogue, and Asif has a lot of lines.
Now, Anson noticed that Asif had relaxed and entered a performance state. Perhaps, they should follow the emotional context and film the subsequent dialogue first, and then go back and film the trivial shots in front, and Professional stunt shots.
However, the decision lies with the director.
Asif looked at Sam.
Sam was a little irritable. Overall, he was still very stressed this morning. He couldn't calm down. One setback and two setbacks accumulated. Even if the situation was not particularly bad, it was still frustrating.
But Sam didn't burst out and kept it all in his heart. He turned to look at Anson and cast a questioning look: Should they believe Asif?
Asif looked at Anson anxiously.
Anson gave Sam a look of affirmation.
Sam took a deep breath, "Shoot the next scene first. The camera follows Anson into the pizza shop. Pay attention, get closer, and follow the ups and downs of the footsteps."
