Chapter 482

In a small studio closest to the south of the warehouse, with 14 extras in place one after another, Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz in proper suits sit at the double dining table in front of the green screen. They look very handsome and full of passion in retro clothes.

Especially Christopher waltz, even sitting there saying nothing, Murphy looked through the camera and felt that he was full of drama.

Although the evaluation of acting skills is a very subjective thing, he has to admit that if Christopher Waltz and Robert Downey Jr. play normally, the latter can hardly compare with the former.

However, acting is only part of the charm of stars and even actors.

Seeing the actor in place, Murphy raised her hand from behind the camera and motioned to the recording.

"Scene 219, act 22." Chang Ji put the Chang Ji card in front of the camera and said, "start now!"

With the sound of "start", the crew immediately began to tell the operation.

"Mr. Hannah, you can take drugs during the day..." Robert Downey's face was both curious and open-minded, and he said, "can you keep working at the same time?"

"Or is there another way to do the work?" Christopher Waltz shrugged. "My friend, if you want to work properly, of course, you have to have Gu Ke alkali and prostitute girl."

"Yes." Robert Downey, Jr. can only smile and say, "I have to say that I'm very excited to be a member of this company. All the customers of the company..."

"Go to his client!"

Little Robert Downey's words were not finished, was interrupted by Christopher waltz, "customers are a group of idiots!"

He shook his head. "The only thing we have to do is take the customer's money out of his pocket and put it in our pocket."

"If we can make money for our customers at the same time..." Robert Downey Jr. is naive both in person and in his words, and the crew makes him look much younger through makeup. "Then everyone can make a profit, right?"

"Wrong!" Christopher Waltz completely rejected Robert Downey Jr.'s statement, "the first rule of Wall Street is that no one, even if you are Warren Buffet and Jimmy buffet, can know whether the stock is going to rise or fall, roll over or play in circles. At least all stockbrokers are like this. These are fake."

Murphy's camera is always taking a panoramic view of Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz Jr.

“ok！” He got up from behind the camera and said, "Donny, Chris, good job!"

Robert Downey Jr. immediately made a winning gesture to his side.

Before he could put his hand down, Murphy said aloud, "but it's not good enough! I need you two to be more explosive. "

Murphy is no longer in charge of these two people. As a director, he makes more requests and then lets the actors complete them. With the ability of Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz Jr., he can do better.

He left behind the camera, went back to his director's monitor, and said to Felipe Raschel, who had just sat here instead of him, "rearrange the camera, and then shoot the dialogue with positive and negative shots."

Felipe Raschel nodded, handed the director back to Murphy, went back to his crew, and began to set up a camera on the left side of Robert Downey Jr. and the right side of Christopher waltz, as planned, to capture the two people's scenes in close-up mode.

The shooting started very soon. Machine 1 was responsible for capturing little Robert Downey, and machine 2 was responsible for shooting Christopher waltz. Later, through some simple editing, we can get the positive and negative shots that often appear in the dialogue of characters in the film.

In order to avoid dazzle, Murphy uses the simplest forward and reverse lens shooting, using only two cameras. According to the axis principle, the two cameras are arranged on the same side of the 180 degree line by Philip Raschel, and each camera is aimed at an actor, so that the shooting can not affect each other.

When shooting, Murphy also asked Philip Raschel to use mostly over shoulder lens. The former lens indicates the existence of the protagonist Jordan Belfort, while the next lens can turn to Christopher Waltz's over shoulder lens as a reaction lens, or make Christopher Waltz's scene a little smaller.

In this way, by using at least two cameras to shoot the same performance, Murphy can freely choose the editing point in the later editing, which also makes the film look better.

Positive and negative shots are not very good shooting skills, but they have been proved to be the most effective way to keep the rhythm in conversation by countless films. For example, the dialogue between little Robert Downey and Christopher Waltz shot by Murphy is very intensive, which will seriously slow down the rhythm of the film, and the fast switching of positive and negative shots can save it.

This kind of shooting technique has a long history. In the first 15 years of film production, it has not been used as a style strategy. At that time, the so-called character scene modeling style was popular, which used a single shot to show the whole scene.By the end of the decade of the 20th century, it had become commonplace in American feature films. Soon after that, the positive and negative splicing was adopted by the whole world.

This kind of shot editing will give the audience a sense of continuity of the film, as if it happened with the real time line.

In the words of Robert Downey Jr., "the wolf of Wall Street" is a crazy movie. The meeting between Jordan Belford and mark Hannah, played by Christopher waltz, can be said to be the top priority of the opening play. Murphy specially puts the characters on both sides of the camera to keep the dialogue flowing.

In the following shooting, Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz performed very well, but Murphy was still not satisfied with the shot.

So, Murphy made some changes during the shooting. In the initial stage of shooting, he gave Christopher Waltz a very wide lens and explained the surrounding environment. Then when the first line of Christopher Waltz ended, the lens tilted forward and became a close-up lens.

This method can keep the action in the background and keep the viewer at the same distance as Jordan Belford, so as to keep the conversation private.

It's always like this when shooting. It's impossible to go according to the plan in advance. There are also some places that can't be considered in the plan. Every time Murphy shoots, he always meets some situations that are beyond the plan. This requires him and the whole team to respond in time and achieve the ultimate goal at the least cost.

Sometimes, in order to achieve the goal of shooting, there may be more than expected consumption of time and money.

However, after years of directing, Murphy not only accumulated rich experience, but also established a high reputation and prestige. Moreover, she has a good reputation in terms of capital consumption. She is also a director that the third-party guarantee company is very willing to cooperate with.

Today's Hollywood, as everyone knows, is a very reliable thing to cooperate with Murphy Stanton. In the internal list of major Hollywood companies, Murphy is also at the top of the green class.

This kind of green class is the division within the Hollywood production company, which is mainly based on the box office results of two or three films made by a director in the past five years. As long as the directors with two films in succession can bring high commercial profits, they will be divided into the green class.

A director like Murphy, whose box office of one film is more than one billion US dollars in the world, and whose box office of other films is almost five times the cost, is naturally one of the best.

However, although his classification level is very high, there are not many production companies that invite cooperation. Murphy's high remuneration and dividends will also make many people shy away.

Stanton studio and 20th Century Fox have been very happy to cooperate. To paraphrase Murphy's words when he was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, they have established a relatively strong strategic cooperative relationship.

After shooting four times, the dialogue between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Waltz was finally approved by Murphy, and the shooting of the whole film ended.

After announcing the completion of filming, Murphy temporarily handed over the crew to Gail gado. With Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill Jr., Murphy walked out of the warehouse set to be interviewed by media reporters invited by 20th century fox.

The end of shooting not only means that the post production is about to start, but also indicates that the film's publicity and promotion will be more and more powerful.

Facing the media reporters, Murphy three people one by one talked about some feelings about the shooting.

"The most difficult thing is the lines. I've never seen such a long monologue in my life. There's a whole four page monologue. Murphy's writing is really great!"

People like Robert Downey Jr., whether chatting or interviewing, will never be short of saying, "that kind of emotional ups and downs is like bungee jumping. I really feel like I'm going to vomit. I should have made a passionate speech in front of many people, but in the end my throat seems to be blocked."

"Up to now, I'm still nervous about filming. Being a director is a terrible and wonderful thing." Compared to Robert Downey Jr., Murphy simply said, "but I enjoy it, especially being able to work with my friends."

Jonah hill, on the other hand, took the interview seriously. "I love different types of films, and I like to show my comedy side very much, but playing" the wolf of Wall Street "is the best opportunity in the world, and it's basically true. There are many paragraphs in the real film that you can put into the comedy."

After that, the film moved to post production. Bill rosis brought Murphy good news and a special invitation as soon as this stage of work began. (to be continued). )
