Chapter 476

In the first few days of filming, the smooth degree exceeded Murphy's expectation. Robert Downey Jr. was in amazing good condition, just like bad condition would infect. The good condition of the leading actor also led to other actors. The crew showed a kind of efficiency that seemed to be brought by Spielberg. All the scenes about Jordan Belfort's speech took less than a week, It's all over.

Then the heroine joined in the filming.

Murphy's request for the heroine is very simple, showing off as much as possible, and when signing the actor contract, he clearly tells the other party that there will be a positive play.

As long as the relevant contracts are signed, nudity has never been a problem for Hollywood actresses.

Dakota Johnson, who won the heroine through the audition, didn't care much about this aspect. The contract didn't even stipulate to clear the scene for shooting.

Her passion plays with Robert Downey Jr. were filmed, and many people in the crew were impressed by her devotion.

For example, in many passion plays, the usual practice in Hollywood is to use doubles, but Murphy has previously stated that all large-scale plays require actors to appear in person, even Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill Jr.

"This woman has a lot of ideas."

At the end of a passion scene, Robert Downey, Jr., in his bathrobe, comes to Murphy and says, "and dares to think and do it."

Murphy shrugged, not taking little Robert Downey's words to heart, and said, "it's the quality of an actor."

At this point, he took a look at Dakota Johnson, who had just put on his clothes. Maybe the background of her insiders made her understand the importance of opportunity.

Dakota Johnson is not an unknown little actor. She was also recommended to the cast. When she was ten years old, she played in "crazy Alabama" directed by Antonio Banderas. Her mother was once Hollywood superstar Melanie Griffith, her father was Don Johnson, and her stepfather was Antonio Banderas.

Compared with other new actors, Dakota Johnson undoubtedly has a better background.

Although it is always said that people are born equal, realists like Murphy are very clear that people are divided into three, six and nine grades when they are born. The advantage of birth is often extremely huge. The key recommendation of CAA and bill rosis is also one of the reasons why Murphy finally chose Dakota Johnson.

The next scene will soon start shooting. This is the scene of the heroine Naomi molesting Jordan Belfort. No matter Robert Downey Jr. or Dakota Johnson, they are very involved. After shooting a few scenes only once, Murphy yells to pass.

Seeing this passionate play between Robert Downey Jr.'s overbearing president and Dakota Johnson's beautiful girlfriend, Murphy suddenly thought of something.

He waved to the back, and Gail gado, who was discussing things, came over.

"What's the matter?" Gail gado asked quickly.

Murphy nodded and said, "I remember you saw twilight?"

This kind of film and novel, has always been a woman's favorite, Gail gado is no exception.

"Well, I thought it was OK at first." Gail gado thought that Murphy had some ideas about the series and said, "but it's a bit boring after watching too much. Girls under 20 should prefer it. I think it's a very good fan movie."

"You have to find out." Murphy recalled that she couldn't remember the name of the original novel, so she had to say, "collect all the novels about twilight on the Internet, especially those about Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen."

"All right." Gail gado nodded and suddenly said, "what are the big shame novels?"

Murphy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, it's better to be the S.M type."

Gail gado stares at Murphy. "What do you want to do?"

"I want to learn." Murphy suddenly lowered his voice. "See if we can use it."

"This..." Gail gado bit his lip and seemed to be excited. "Let's go back to work now."

Murphy restrained a smile and said, "well, we'll talk about it when we get back."

After ten days of shooting in Venice's warehouse studio, Murphy led the crew out of the studio and began to shoot in the nearby location and built-in scenes. With more actors and diversified scenes, the shooting was no longer as smooth as before.

In particular, the crew will shoot in different environments, times and light conditions, some of which are still night scenes, which will bring some difficulties.

So Murphy decided to mix a variety of shooting techniques: Super 35mm film for the day, and digital cameras for the night scene, green screen lens, and experimental shutter speed.

Jordan Belfort, the protagonist of the film, indulges in alcohol, drugs, sex and all kinds of stimulation, showing the audience the ups and downs of his life.In order to deeply depict his extremely confused state after taking ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^.

Then, Murphy uses 360 degree shutter angle to shoot 12 frames per second, and then develops and prints each frame twice. This method can make some deformation and motion blur of the picture, which makes people feel very loose, just like Jordan Belfort's sinking heart.

At Murphy's request, the crew mainly used different lenses, lighting styles and color schemes to show different stages of the story, Jordan Belfort's mood as a guide, and super 35mm film and digital camera lenses alternately to achieve different degrees of depth, angle and clarity.

During this period, photography director Philip Raschel also suggested that Murphy use negative film to enhance the contrast between Belfort's mood and occasionally add some ambient smoke.

Among the relevant shots that have been obtained, the part that belongs to the beginning of the story of - Jordan Belfort, the picture is softer and slightly cloudy, indicating that he has not found himself, and he is still confused and awed by Wall Street.

Murphy describes the first stage of Jordan Belfort's career with a small depth of field and shallow distortion.

Then there is the shot of Jordan Belfort before he started his own business. His first job was in the stock brokerage company. Murphy's shooting here mainly used green and gold lights to remind people of "the wealth of the old world."

The color scheme was inspired by a photo provided by David Robbie of a stock exchange company in the 1980s.

"The stock company eventually went bankrupt, and Jordan Belfort found himself out of work," Murphy told Helena espora, who was in charge of setting the scene on set. I only shine in through the big window on one side of the room, which makes the office feel like a cave, a place where he gets into the dark. "

In order to specify appearances for different times and places in Jordan Belfort's story, Murphy also creates certain appearances to evoke the emotion and / or mental state of the characters. For example, in order to highlight Jordan Belfort's continued drug use, Murphy developed "hypnosis," that is, the camera should be close to Robert Downey Jr. and be intimate with him when the fans are staring.

After shooting in Los Angeles, Murphy led the crew to New York. Because the Rhode Island Yacht Club did not meet the shooting requirements, the crew set up a green screen yacht scene in the Steiner studio in Brooklyn.

To shoot here, the crew had to create realistic, dark and stormy daylight scenes, so Murphy decided to shoot at night to better control the lighting. Because the model yacht was built on a swaying universal joint, the track operator had to bind Philip Raschel and his photography assistant to keep them upright while they were shooting.

That's enough for photographers.

But film shooting is like this, there are always many difficulties need customer service, if you want plain sailing, then do not choose this industry.

Although this kind of green screen shooting is much easier than the real shooting of yachts, there are still many problems to be solved. Murphy needs David Robbie's team to create a soft ambient light, the special effects team uses buckets and water cannons to send water to the bridge on the scene to simulate the waves that eventually sink the cruise ship, and the film team uses underwater cameras to shoot the scene of Yuanwang bridge, so that the water can really face the water The camera is toppling.

For other scenes on the yacht, Helena espora's art department built a replica of the ship's upper deck at the studio at Kaufman doff studios.

There, around all the actors and crew, on the deck of the yacht, a semicircular green screen about 50 feet high and 80 feet wide was assembled on the scene, and it was set up on a dedicated track so that the team could slide to adapt to the camera without adding green fill to the rest of the scene.

Beyond the shooting range, according to Murphy's request, the crew also put up a huge white curtain to create soft fill light behind the camera.

Generally speaking, the shooting is relatively smooth. Even if there are problems that are difficult to solve, Murphy will work together and use the strength of the whole team to solve them. Good cooperation is always the key to making a successful film. To make a film, we should know how to find the talents of the people around us and understand that the director can never complete a film by himself.

Film is a team sport.

With the deepening of filming, the publicity of fox in the 20th century has not been relaxed. In this era, social networking is quite active, and many major members of the cast are constantly updating their social networking sites as planned. (to be continued). )
