Montana is located in the northwest of the United States, adjacent to Idaho and bordering Alberta of Canada. It is famous for its mineral resources, oil processing and prairie. Of course, the most famous is Yellowstone National Park. As the first National Park in the world and the most popular and spectacular National Park in the United States, countless families come here for vacation every summer.
Although Brokeback Mountain is not set in Yellowstone Park, it is not too far away. It is basically in the Rockies, so it is located in a small town called Graz in the northwest of Montana and not far from Canada.
The name sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yes, as like as two peas in Austria's second largest city, Graz, of course, this town, also known as Graz, has no relationship with Austria. The residents in the town are not from Austria. The reason why they took the name for the town is Adrian's guess that she had just turned the newspaper down when she was naming it, and she thought Graz was a good idea, so she used it.
This situation is very common in the United States. As long as someone is willing to search in detail, they will find out the names of famous cities in various countries on the map of the United States, including Paris, London and Barcelona. This is also a common practice in the history of American development. At that time, when a town was established in a certain place, it would be difficult to think of any suitable name, so it would be better to directly use the existing one in the world, so as to avoid any trouble.
Of course, most of them are small towns with a population of thousands of people, which would not have been found if someone had not deliberately searched for them. If not for the popularity of the Internet. Besides, Adrian probably won't know if he has to come to Montana to take pictures, so even if people from other countries notice it, they can only laugh it off as a joke.
"Are you ready? How bright is the light?" After getting the props teacher's affirmative reply, Adrian hurried to the makeup artist and the lighting division.
"It looks good," Adrian nodded as he looked at the number on the light meter, and patted him on the shoulder of the subject, rivan. "Go ahead, go all out."
Montana is still a bit cold in mid March. However, it is also in line with the season of Brokeback Mountain, and there is not much rain during this period, which is suitable for shooting. After everyone was ready, and raven Phoenix and Brad Pitt in their old-fashioned jeans were all in place, Adrian made a start gesture to the show.
This is the first scene of Brokeback Mountain, where Ennis and Jack meet outside the rancher's trailer, which is also the beginning of the film. In fact, Adrian wanted to shoot the grazing scene first. It's just that the sheep owner who had been in contact with him suddenly changed his mind, and the crew couldn't get in touch with anything else. In addition, considering that both Ruifan and Pitt still need to work together, Adrian revised his plan and started shooting from the beginning of the script.
I have to admit, whether it's Raven or Pete. It takes a lot of time and energy to prepare, and where to go is no different from the cowboys of decades ago. Ennis's body, especially in front of the wall, is not restrained by the words of the camera, especially in front of the camera. And Pitt's big back and thick sideburns, and the atmosphere required by the whole film are very well matched, which reflects the character's character very well. What's more, they put forward these two points on their own initiative. So, with more experienced actors. The director is relatively relaxed.
Of course, Adrian has also done his homework before. Although most of his studies are based on the data collected by his assistants, Ivanka, a competent secretary, and works from previous lives are also used as references. His grasp is very accurate. For example, as everyone knows, men think women are good. She will directly look at her with appreciative eyes, but if you look at men with this kind of eyes, it is very impolite. If you do this in the street, you may be beaten by old punches.
So how can gays appreciate people who look good? He looked indirectly in the mirror, so at first jack had a lens that looked at Ennis in the rearview mirror of the car. Here, Adrian redesigns the plot. Ennis finds Jack's gaze, but just pulls the collar and doesn't say anything.
However, this is not to show Ennis's homosexuality. Throughout the whole novel, Jack is obviously more active. He knows that he is gay, accepts the fact and falls in love with Ennis. But Ennis is not necessarily gay. If there was no jack, he might have lived a dull life after he married Alma. In a conventional or even sarcastic way, Ennis fell in love with Jack instead of a man.
Therefore, Adrian added a little action here, which not only shows Ennis's character of resisting homosexuality, but also foreshadows the complicated relationship between the two.
Of course, it's their business whether the audience sees it like this. Without that movie, the plot is perfect. If you want to find it, you can always find the logic loopholes. Just like Brokeback Mountain, the plot seems to have been very self consistent. The two men's heart journey and mutual love of life and death are also in place. However, since they have spent so much time inland, why not go to San Francisco?
The atmosphere along the coast is always more relaxed than that in the interior, regardless of the country. San Francisco has been a gay base since the 1970s. So if they can't stay in Montana and Texas, they can save up and go to San Francisco together. There won't be any tragedy in the future.Well, it's a joke. If they do, there won't be any Brokeback Mountain novels and movies.
"Good, guys, you've all done a great job." Adrian is not stingy with his praise, the situation is not so smooth at the beginning.
Unfortunately, this situation didn't last long. When the first scene was over, the second scene was blocked. There are only two main roles for the rancher. First of all, it is the meeting of Ennis and Jack, and then Jack wants to meet with Ennis again the next year when he wants to work for the rancher. But the rancher had been aware of their situation before, so he drove him away with sarcasm.
Because there is only Jack's part, so it should be easier to pass than before. But I don't know why, Peter, who has performed well just now, can't satisfy Adrian.
"Watch out, Brad. Don't make it too obvious. Jack certainly doesn't want people, especially the rancher, to find out that he cares too much about Ennis. But at the same time, we should not be too introverted. It's hard to see that Jack is not Ennis. Do you feel conflicted? That's right Adrian took the trouble to speak for Pete, so that he can better mobilize his emotions.
Although the previous smooth state was very good, it was also basically met but not required. Therefore, he was not disappointed because of the following shots several times. Take your time, and it also let him find some problems.
So, after ng had passed this scene dozens of times. For the next three or four days, the crew spent the next three or four days wandering around the town, taking bits and pieces of footage, such as Ennis's memories, or some more ordinary meetings with Jack. But privately, after that day, Adrian ordered Raven and Pete to live in the same room. It's a beautiful name, so that they can further feel the sincere feelings of the two characters.
"There's no need to do this?" Ruifan, who was pulled to the room, asked gloomily. He didn't think it was wrong. He was just forced to live in a room with Pete. It was a strange feeling.
"It's necessary." Adrian was not polite at all. "I know that before this, you often exchanged feelings and many experiences, and they were very effective. I saw them all. however. It's obviously not enough. You have to continue to communicate and cultivate feelings until I think it's OK
"What if you always think it's not possible?" Rivan asked, though he already knew the answer.
"It's a pity then that you'll live together until the shooting is over, even if your girlfriend comes to visit." Adrian replied, of course, and then added seriously: "of course. Don't play the game. "
Peterton, who had been listening to me honestly, gushed, and rivan rolled his eyes.
No matter what they thought, it was settled, so the two men began to live together in the crew, and after the news spread, it was inevitable that someone would look at them with ambiguous eyes on the set. However, both of them were in a good mood. They didn't care about the unfriendly eyes. They even put their shoulders together in front of everyone. They looked intimate and felt like they were making a fake.
Adrian can't help being so funny. After a few days of running in, as soon as the weekend is over, after observation, he thinks it's OK, and the sheep haven't been fully contacted, so he's ready to shoot the first * *.
"In short, you have to bring yourself into the role of a wife who is aware of something wrong with her husband, but is not sure what is going on. Then when she sees that scene unconsciously, the feeling of extraordinary shock will be convincing. I know it may be difficult for you, Kirsten, but I also believe you can do it This morning, after the crew set up all the props and scenes, Adrian said to Kirsten, who arrived on the set.
"I can do it." With his short hair, Kirsten nodded his head vigorously.
It was the first time the goblin had worked with him in so many years, so Adrian didn't use the nickname Qiqi, but called her full name to show his importance. Of course, in fact, when working with his own woman, Adrian hardly uses a nickname on the set, even if everyone knows her relationship with him, which is a professional attitude.
It was supposed to start filming the married lives of the two men by the end of March, but since the problem of sheep has not been completely solved, and Kirsten's schedule has been reserved for a long time, Adrian has let her come from Los Angeles.
"Are you sure the foreman won't fire you?" When she heard that her husband was going fishing in Brokeback Mountain with her friends, Alma came out of the room with her arms in her eyes.
"That foreman owes me. I went to work in a blizzard last Christmas," Ennis didn't care. "Besides, I'm only going for a day or two."
After the two conversations, Adrian had to stop.
"I need you to be more restrained," Adrian said to Kirsten after a moment's meditation. "You're still a little bit more obvious. Anyway, Alma always wanted Ennis to change his mind, or he wouldn't turn a blind eye to his date on Brokeback Mountain. So even if you have seen them making love before, no matter how shocked, you can keep calm on the surface. You can... "He frowned slightly, then looked at Ruifan with depressed and worried eyes: "are you sure that the foreman won't fire you"
the tone is very soft, and with a little indescribable anxiety, so that Ruifan showed a startled expression: "are you OK, director?"
Kirsten chuckled. The tension that Adrian had caused when he called a stop was gone, so he just glared at rivan and didn't say much.
"Do you understand?" Adrian asked Kirsten, then slapped rivan: "don't put too much pressure on her, let's come back."
To be fair, Kirsten's acting skills are still very good. Although "Spider Man" has made her very popular, she has also acted in many literary and artistic films in recent years. It's just that who told her to play against Raven Phoenix? Basically, Ruifan has never participated in a-category production in Hollywood, and his role has always been very characteristic, which makes him maintain a good reputation after the drug abuse incident.
These good word-of-mouth is not just talking about it. Adrian has deep feelings and knows that Ruifan has good acting skills before. But it was always looking at things from this level, and finally I saw it in the first cooperation of Brokeback Mountain. Apart from that, he was always the first of all the actors to get into the play, and he was very well measured, if not for Adrian, who is now experienced. It doesn't have to be controlled.
In this case, the pressure on Kirsten of the play with him is imaginable.
"It seems that we should take a step-by-step approach, first shooting some of Alma and Ennis's life, and then do in-depth shooting." In countless repetitions, breaks, and repetitions. It took an afternoon, and after the shot finally passed, Adrian said.
"Well done, of course." He then praised Kirsten, who was somewhat depressed.
It's really easy to beat the confidence of the actors at the beginning, but on the other hand, it can also let the actors master the inner part of the role as soon as possible, and run in with other actors successfully. If you have a fragile heart that can't stand the blow and negation, it's better not to be an actor. Of course, the time for praise, encouragement and encouragement is still indispensable.
"Speaking of it, I sometimes think it would be interesting if Kirsten and raven were also in the vampire at night." Adrian then laughed at them and said, "I can almost imagine how people who like to do things will write the film reviews. After visiting Louis, Malloy fell in love with Malloy, but Malloy accepted him and refused him. After knowing the Claudia who had lost her memory, she married her, and found that she had to work hard to find them. After the first tryst, Louis was immersed in the love world with Malloy wholeheartedly, but he turned a blind eye to Claudia. Claudia, who had recovered her memory, was betrayed and finally divorced Marlowe
After the comments were explained in detail, all the people who understood on the scene burst out laughing. Those who did not understand also laughed after others' explanation. Ruifan and Peter shrugged or scratched their heads in the laughter to show that it's OK. Kirsten also cheered up in the laughter.
"Now that you are so happy, let's try to shoot another scene." Adrian then said.
"But, Mr. director, time..." An assistant wants to remind you.
"It doesn't matter, just try to take a picture, let them do preparation to find the feeling, turn on the light a little, no problem." Adrian then said, "act 48, scene 33."
Hearing these two figures, everyone's eyes became a little weird. They all looked at the two actors one after another. Ruifan didn't have anything to do. He began to prepare himself, but Peter couldn't help but scratch his head again. Because the plot of this scene is that Jack finally can't bear to miss, and comes from Texas. After they meet, they can't help kissing in the corner.
Yes, the kissing scene of two men, this is the scene Adrian is going to try to shoot, and it is also the first one he prepared to shoot before. This is also the reason why Kirsten started shooting the scene with a big conflict at the beginning. The scene of two men kissing is in front of this scene.
Now that the director has ordered it, the crew will naturally operate, and soon everyone will be ready. First, a long shot, Ennis saw Jack coming from the window in the room. Immediately he rushed to the door. The camera switched to Jack's smile and then cut back. Starting from here, Ennis opened the door and jumped down the stairs. He rushed to Jack. He wrapped him in his arms with a smile on his face. Then they grabbed each other and pushed him to the corner 。
This shot is about one minute. It is mainly from Jack's perspective, including Ennis's body language. It shows that he is quite different from his usual reticence and silence. If he didn't think it was vulgar and didn't match the style of the whole movie, Adrian might be shooting here with a 360 degree rotation.
The whole process is very good. Ruifan jumps down and hugs Pete tightly in his arms. The action and the joy from his heart are all in place. But when the next scene comes, it becomes different.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
