"Clink, come here and put up the lampstand! And you, um What's your name? All right, Brett, move this thing over there and ask them to clear up the ground. Hurry up
With the voice of the director's assistant, the motel room was busy. The staff of the "vulgar novel" crew were under the supervision of an assistant director, setting up the environment for the next shooting, while Adrian, as the director, was on the other side talking to Bruce Willis..
As Adrian predicted, John Travolta, who fell to the bottom, agreed after just a few minutes' thinking, and only got $100000 - of course, the box office share still needs to be included in the contract. After all, he is still a famous star for a long time, and he won't get much if the box office fails.
Adrian didn't care too much. No one except him would know how much box office the film could get. Travolta had already acted with the lowest price, but he didn't give any share. It was not in line with the rules, so he just suppressed the proportion of the film.
It's the same with Samuel Jackson, who has just come to the fore and cooperates with famous ghost directors in the circle, so he has no opinion on the offer. Bruce Willis is the only one. Although he is not as popular as he will be two years later, he is still worth a lot of money. He has directly offered a price of 7 million yuan. Adrian naturally refused to accept, no matter how, the cost can not be higher than the original cost? So after several negotiations, Willis was finally allowed to reduce the film's pay to 3 million, and the price was a part of the box office share, but lower than LA Volta.
It seems like a loss. If everything goes well, Bruce will get more than 4 million points. But Adrian doesn't think so. It's an opportunity to have a good relationship with Bruce. He takes a fancy to the agents of Travolta, Jackson and Willis. If they can be poached, it will be of great help to the development of his agent company.
"Impatience and anger, you feel impatient and angry, but also a little flustered, because the gold watch is your father's hard work left you, which is very important to you. But you can't vent completely, because your woman is here, although you are angry that she forgot to bring her gold watch, although you think in your heart: Oh, this stupid woman! But you still love him. " Adrian explained, gesturing.
"Ed, do you think that's ok?" Willis said this after a long pause.
He closed his eyes and brewed his emotions. Suddenly, he raised his head and breathed in a hurry. His shoulders and abdomen fluctuated violently. His hands were also raised to form fists and open again. This kind of emotion lasted for several seconds, and then he slowly calmed down.
"Very good!" Adrian clapped his hands and said, "that's it. You did a good job, Bruce. The guys who say you're bad at acting should jump off the Golden Gate Bridge."
"It's too much of an exaggeration, ed Willis felt his sparse hair and laughed. "I'm glad you're satisfied."
"Well, let's start." Adrian saw the deputy director's "everything's ready" gesture to him, patted Willis on the shoulder and walked to the camera.
All of the scenes will be shot outside. In any case, the venues needed are motels, wine, restaurants, grocery stores, basements, etc. renting these places in the suburbs is much cheaper than building them in a studio. The only trouble is that it needs to be transferred. It's easy to get involved if the wine used in the shooting is too close to the restaurant.
Adrian originally wanted to go to the restaurant where Kate and I had been robbed before, but after careful consideration, I still left it in the back of my mind. The public security there is still not much improved. Moreover, the two robbers who robbed last time have not been arrested. The police's is not so good, so I still forget it.
Now we are shooting the second of three stories: the gold watch. Willis plays an underground boxer, Butch. He has a gold watch left by his father. He attaches great importance to this gold watch and stays with him wherever he goes. This time, Masha, the big gangster, gave him a sum of money to fight fake boxing in the next fight. Butch pretended to promise, but put all the money on his body, and then killed the other side alive in the game, so he rolled up a lot of money to take his girlfriend on the road. However, her girlfriend left her most important gold watch at home. Butch had to go back to get it. As a result, he ran into Masha, who was waiting for nothing in his family. After a series of strange things happened, he and Masha and jiejie left with money.
In fact, Adrian first wanted to shoot the third story, Bonnie's situation. The scenes of this story are basically indoor, and the restaurant scene can be shot for the last time. But Willis had only two weeks to go, and he had another movie to shoot, so Adrian had to make the gold watch first.
In fact, the main scenes of the story are also indoors, mainly in three places: Motel, grocery store and its basement, and Butch's home. However, there is a chase battle between Masha and Butch, which needs a lot of extras to shoot in front of many people in the Sunny Street, which is very troublesome to deal with.Fortunately, at least Willis gave him a surprise. The acting skills of this strong man were not as rough as his appearance. For example, in the tender play in the motel, he used body language to show the gentleness of the role, and did not make Karina pramer feel uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, his appearance is a little bit How to say, it's tough. The face looks like it's carved with a knife. Although the eyes are a little small, it gives people a sense of perseverance. No wonder it's famous for being a tough guy in tiger's gall and dragon's power. But it is also because of this, after playing too many tough guys, they are limited in their images. If they try other roles, the audience will feel discordant, and over time, they will be given the title of facial paralysis.
OK, let's not mention that. After three days shooting the motel scene, Adrian began to prepare for the next scene. In order, it should be the grocery store, the chase, and finally the play at Butch's house, because there is a scene where Travolta is shot by Willis. Put the scene here at the end, you can continue to shoot Travolta after Willis finishes shooting.
But after thinking about it, Adrian decided to shoot the chase first. Anyway, this shot is relatively short. The sooner it is completed, the better. However, the plan has never changed quickly. Whether it is a long-term plan or a temporary plan, the nomination list of the 64th Academy Awards came out on the day after Adrian started shooting the chase.
