Chapter 999 Silky and Smooth
In the summer of 2003, the summer schedule arrived as scheduled. "Pirates of the Caribbean" starring Johnny Depp unexpectedly set off a hot wave, becoming a star both inside and outside the industry with its unprecedented appearance. Hot topic.
However, I never expected that there would be a work as popular as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and penetrate the industry in another way. "Spider-Man 2" once again proved its appeal. force.
Not only the general public, but even Hollywood is no exception.
Two-thirds of Hollywood are paying close attention to every move of the crew, directors, producers, public relations, publicity, planning and so on.
And of course, there are actors.
No matter how big or small the role is, as long as you can participate in the "Spider-Man" crew, you will immediately become the envy of everyone in your circle of friends.
Then, they said with regret, "I'm sorry, I signed a confidentiality agreement." One sentence can raise expectations and curiosity to the throat. At this time, they said again, "Then I tell you, you don't want to Say it”?
As you can imagine, all kinds of rumors are flying all over Hollywood.
But here, how much is trustworthy and how much is adulterated is a matter of opinion. Anyway, "per capita entry into the Spider-Man crew" is becoming a trend.
Even if you don't join the crew, it must be "I have a friend on the Spider-Man crew...", otherwise you will be completely behind the trend -
No one wants to be unable to keep up with the trend.
Over there, true and false rumors surrounding the crew of "Spider-Man 2" have grabbed the spotlight in Hollywood.
Here, the crew of "Spider-Man 2" remained focused, completely cutting off the noise from the outside world and focusing on filming wholeheartedly.
Everything goes smoothly at work, even beyond imagination.
Originally, in the first scene of filming, Asif had a problem with his continuous NG. Everyone was worried that this might be a bad omen, indicating that the filming would not go smoothly. An invisible haze quietly enveloped the crew.
However!
Reality, this is not the case.
After two years, the actors have grown up. Coupled with the tacit understanding and experience accumulated from the previous filming, they all quickly got into the state, ensuring that the filming went smoothly without encountering any special obstacles.
Especially the core trio of the entire movie, Anson, James Franco and Kristen Dunst, their perfect tacit understanding is reassuring.
Outside of the camera shooting, the three of them went in and out together, chatting and laughing. Anson's trailer became a daily entertainment place for several actors. They had a perfect tacit understanding, but they not only just had fun and slapstick, but also often discussed plots and movies together with enthusiasm. The atmosphere is inviting.
It is not just the three actors themselves, they also open their arms to other actors and staff, regardless of roles or scenes. It is purely a small community that allows everyone to express their opinions freely.
The only premise is not to delay work.
Then, the crew of "Spider-Man 2" appeared in a small movie club.
With Anson as the center, this movie club always maintains a cheerful atmosphere. During the long standby period, they all went to Anson's trailer to watch movies. The large space was bustling and full of people.
Maybe it’s to participate in the discussion, maybe you choose to sit in because you are shy, maybe you are just driven by curiosity, no matter what, the pure and simple enthusiasm is the biggest attraction.
Anson said, "Now I finally understand the fun of film festival organizers."
Cause a burst of laughter.
Even Sam was amazed.
Quietly, the pressure and attention that hung over Continue's head gradually faded away, and the crew was able to focus 100% on the filming of the film. This was something Sam had not expected, and it was also the fundamental reason why the filming went smoothly. .
Alfred-Molina admitted that before he joined the cast, he was full of worries and still regretted it until the last moment - should he not have accepted the role of Doctor Octopus?
Alfred is a typical British actor. He was born in an academy. He polished himself through stage plays and relied on awards for stage plays to gain attention for himself.
In 1978, he got small roles in independent films and officially entered the film field, but none of these films were officially released; until 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he It was the first time I saw my face in a movie theater.
After that, Alfred has been working diligently to complete his work:
Golden supporting role.
He can be seen in all the movies such as "Marvel", "Magnolia", "Boogie Nights", "Chocolate", etc., but he is not handsome or tall. The ordinary middle-aged man has never received the spotlight that belongs to him -
There is no starring opportunity and no supporting role award.
But Alfred didn't complain, because he was always being offered roles. He knew how many unappreciated actors were buried in the entertainment industry, and he was glad that he still had a job.
Only, occasionally, Alfred also hopes to be appreciated.
After all, as an actor, this is a job that depends on the audience's applause. If there is no applause, he is just an ordinary blue-collar worker.
A screw.
So, when "Spider-Man 2" was invited, his heart was moved.
He admitted that he was still a layman.
Sam said that he particularly liked Alfred's performance in "Frida". Although the film did not win any award nominations for Alfred, Sam believed that Alfred could do the job. The character of Doctor Octopus is just like the Green Goblin played by Willem Dafoe.
Alfred agreed, he needed this opportunity.
However, Alfred soon regretted it. When the attention was overwhelming, he realized that he had obviously underestimated the topicality of "Spider-Man 2" and the impact that Anson would bring. Come attention.
Faced with such pressure for the first time, Alfred wavered.
And, if nothing else, Alfred was worried about starring opposite Anson. He had been in Hollywood for more than twenty years, and he knew those spoiled actors——
On the surface, he looks humble and low-key in front of the media, but behind the scenes, he has a different face on the set.
The young man who can't legally drink alcohol is probably spoiled, which means working together is going to be a complete disaster.
Alfred began to think about selling himself to the devil for pay, fame, and attention. Is this a good deal?
However, Alfred never expected that he would be impressed by Anson.
The charm displayed by this young man makes liking him a very simple thing; at the same time, it also makes the crew work become something worth looking forward to, and those tired media reporters also Not worth mentioning, it is full of challenges and fun both inside and outside the play.
Alfred thought that maybe taking on "Spider-Man 2" was the best decision of his career.
Originally, the "Spider-Man 2" crew expected that the first phase of filming in New York would take a full two weeks, but it ended up being completed in ten days.
Smooth all the way.
Then, the crew set off for New Jersey, preparing to start the second phase of filming there, and then return to New York.
