Chapter 256

The Universal Studios known to the world are located in the northern part of Losangeles city. They are visited all the year round. Not only because it's a theme park like Disney, but also because it's still one of the most important studios in Hollywood.

At present, the largest and most concentrated studio in Hollywood is located in Burbank, where Disney, Warner Bros. and other large studios have their own special studio areas; In addition, it's Universal Studios.

Here, there are more than 40 studios, as well as a series of modern urban streets, western style rural communities, and rocky outdoor shooting sites in mountainous areas, which can adapt to all kinds of shooting requirements, including "Desperate Housewives", "World War II", "great white shark" and other films and TV dramas. Every day there is a busy crew working here. If you are lucky, meeting top stars here is a matter of minutes.

Those fanatical and loyal film lovers have come to universal pictures to explore the film world through the barriers of reality. Especially when watching the scene on the screen appear vividly in front of us, the confusion between reality and illusion is enough to inspire everyone.

"Good morning." Nathan pres skillfully greeted, and then took the updated paper pass from the doorman, placed it behind the windshield and entered the Universal Studios.

Nathan slowly slowed down the car and followed the rules of Universal Studios. For the safety of tourists, the speed limit must be applied to all vehicles entering the cinema. The roar of the engine suddenly quieted down and was replaced by the noise of the crowd. On the road next door, a tour bus full of passengers passed slowly, and there was a loud voice from it.

"God! God! That's Simon Baker! "

One voice triggered a chain reaction, and a series of shouts began to lose control. The scream full of girlish heart pierced the sky, making the morning sun hot and full of vitality.

Nathan also can't help but follow the voices of everyone, though it's their eighth day's arrival in Universal Studios. But honestly, Nathan has not had the chance to see the work of other theatrical groups, even the actors who are everywhere in the legend can't see. It's hard to avoid some curiosity when I hear the cry.

Unfortunately, he didn't see Simon because of the cover of several big trees. Simon's "super sense" was broadcast two years ago, and the new man Wang was successfully captured. After the two season, the popularity was still high. Just because he didn't know, the "super sense" was shot in the studio of Universal Studios, or only came to view today.

Although he didn't see it, Nathan was excited. Now universal studios are indeed wildly beating gongs and drums. What's more, today lanli is about to officially start shooting. It's the first time that Nathan has watched lanli's performance since he joined the cast. He's a little eager to try.

Seven days ago, lanli officially entered the "speed and passion 5" crew. Nominally, lanli is the third leading role, but it should be noted that the crew did not change the script, specifically to increase the weight of lanli, only to give the third leading role the treatment in the publicity position.

If it's Tom Cruise, even if it's the third protagonist, the screenwriter will have to revise the script so that Tom can show up more. Even if Tom doesn't ask at all, the crew will also hope to make effective use of Tom's appeal and give full play to the role of the third protagonist. But Langley is not Tom.

So, in the first week, Langley didn't have any shooting tasks.

The reason for joining the cast ahead of time is very simple. Lanli was the last one to decide to play, far behind the overall progress of other actors. He had to start from scratch and catch up.

First of all, lanli must make up. From clothing to make-up and then to style, the overall shape must be determined. It can't be the same as other people, but it has to show lanli's own characteristics. Even if this is not an important work of clothing like "Alice in Wonderland", the auxiliary role of shape on the role is indispensable.

Secondly, Langley needs to quickly adapt to all kinds of equipment, guns, sports cars and the most important doubles. In the past, the "speed and passion 5" crew was forced to stop shooting in the early stage, but the data of Paul Walker, van diesel and other protagonists have been collected, and now it's Lanley's turn.

And then, of course, there's Langley's work as an actor. He needs to adapt to the rhythm of action movies and the shooting mode of large-scale commercial movies——

The previous "buried alive" and "crazy love" were, on the whole, shot according to the chronological sequence of the story development clues. The director has a clear concept of the framework and direction of the script, and the rhythm of the actor's performance is traceable; But commercial films are not.

The shooting method of "speed and passion 5" is closer to that of "Pacific War".

The whole production team will be divided into two or three groups, or even more. Each deputy director leads a group, and different groups will shoot in different ways. The working place may be different, or it may be in the next studio; Some need actors to participate, others don't; The same actor may shoot in the same set for a whole week in a row, or he may need to change three sets to shoot different content in one day.

However, "Pacific War" has a large number of main actors. In essence, it is shot according to the story line or character line, while "speed and passion 5" is shot according to the use of the venue, which also makes the actors' performances more fragmented and difficult to connect.

It is because of this way of shooting that the performance of commercial films often enters into two modes: one is the vase style performance without acting skills, the other is the vase style performance without acting skills; Or it's the same performance. Although the requirements of commercial films for acting skills are really different, the audience enters the cinema to stimulate, not to see the acting skills; But it's easy for actors to become the patterned products of the production line and become commodities.

In the "hunger game" series, Jennifer Lawrence showed a touching and delicate performance, but it was enough to make people shine, which is worthy of recognition.

For Lan Li, the performance itself is not a problem. To show the correct performance at the right time is the essence of the performance school. He can say that he can do it at will. However, when performing on stage, actors always have enough time to brew. In the process of commercial film shooting, the director will not give actors time to brew emotions. Therefore, lanli needs to adapt to different shooting rhythm, watch on the scene and participate in it, which is a good learning process.

From "the Pacific War" to "buried alive" to "crazy love", Langley has been studying the method and depth of performance. This time, he decided to put down his burden and enjoy the fun of performance. To be more accurate, he would enjoy the fun of film, turning the fantasy in his mind into reality and experiencing the adventure he could never experience.

The first week was spent abundantly. Today, he will have his first shooting. It's an absolutely new experience for Nathan.

"Universal studios have opened so early?" Lanli's lazy voice came from the passenger seat with a light nose.

This made Nathan quickly take his eyes back. It's only a quarter past eight. It's too early. It seems that lanli didn't get enough sleep at all, so he was sleeping all the way. It seems that the noise of tourists just woke him up.

"Yes, the time of opening here is different every day. Today is eight o'clock." In order to ensure the smooth progress of the work, Nathan did a lot of preparatory work, including the information that didn't seem to have any effect——

For example, the opening time and closing time of universal studios are actually different from each other. Sometimes eight points are open, but sometimes it has to wait until ten. If you are traveling to a particular place, you'd better check your time in advance.

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth to show that he understood, but he couldn't help yawning. Today, the crew announced that the starting time was 8:30. The first play was not lanli's, but in order to get into the state as soon as possible, lanli arrived on time according to everyone's working time.

Rub the eyes, the spirit gradually wake up.

In fact, Lan Li never visited the Universal Studios. He has completed the three works, and the curiosity of the studio has been restored. The attraction of Universal Studios naturally decreases. However, he could still feel the excited cries of the tourists.

Even if he becomes an actor, he is still a loyal fan and a fanatical film fan in his heart.

The noise of the tour bus is moving in another direction along the road; Nathan turned the wheel and drove in the other direction, directly towards the studio.

The main parts of "speed and passion 5" actually take place in Rio de Janeiro, because the movie starts with a prison break. Dominic and Bryan are both wanted and can only abscond to Rio de Janeiro. However, the crew plans to shoot all outdoor scenes on the spot, while those indoor scenes without landmark scenes will be shot in Los Angeles.

By contrast, Los Angeles has more complete shooting equipment, more professional staff, smoother work progress and more cost saving. More importantly, Rio de Janeiro's official forces and mafia forces are intertwined, where shooting must be done well, otherwise it is likely that there will be no return.

Until now, the crew's permission to shoot in Rio de Janeiro has not come down. That's why. Even the big movie companies like lianhuanqiu can't avoid it.

As the car slows down, the studio is in front of you. However, Nathan looks at the parking lot outside the studio in surprise. Then he looks at Lan Li with a puzzled look on his face

Because the whole parking lot is empty and there is no car.
