Chapter 687

A huge push shook his body, like the earth shaking. Paul Walker earned his eyes reflexively. He caught the assistant's face in his hazy eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes. "I know. I'll get up now." He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, but it was still slightly sour, so he closed his eyes and calmed down. After counting down ten seconds, he sat up directly with a chicken's nest on his head. He was stunned for a moment. Then he took a deep breath, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Open the strict curtain, through the window to see out, the whole world is still a gloomy, that can not see the dark night with a distinct layer of ink, as if all the color in the line of sight has faded into black and white. Until now, Paul has a real sense that this is not sunny Los Angeles, but the changeable weather in Britain.

It's just four o'clock in the morning. The earth and the mountains are still sleeping. The silence like the thick ink fainting is surging in the gloomy and gray tone. There is a thrilling silence.

This time he came to England, Paul came to play "tomorrow's edge". Just three days ago, Paul also thought that the guest star might not be able to make the trip. He called Langley to express his apology and hoped that they would make second-hand preparations for the role candidates, because the shooting of "tomorrow's edge" is just around the corner, and "speed and passion 6" has been emphasizing that they are about to start shooting, so Paul is bound to lack skills.

What's important is that Paul has signed a contract with "speed and passion 6", while "tomorrow's edge" has not. It's just a friendly performance. Therefore, Paul has no choice.

However, within three days, there was another disturbance within the cast of "speed and passion 6". Van diesel and Michael forthrie split their faces. It was rumored that the reason was due to the accountability. After Langley signed the contract with the cast of "tomorrow's edge", the cast of "speed and passion 6" signed up for a collective increase in film remuneration, and the final cost exceeded the budget by nearly 20 million US dollars, This led to a seismic response within Universal Pictures.

In the end, Michael was kicked out of the "speed and passion" series and said goodbye. Before that, Michael participated in all the production of the first five works in the series, which can be regarded as his representative work in Hollywood. This time, he was kicked out and caused a big stir within the crew.

However, after Michael left, Paul Walker, Alexander Dostal and Clayton Townsend joined in, which made the production process stable for the first time. Unfortunately, it's still not over. During the discussion meeting, fan, Neil and Paul had differences, mainly focusing on the production team and the story framework. The two sides have not been able to reach a consensus for the time being, and the discussions are continuing.

Seeing that the shooting couldn't be completed in a short time, Universal Pictures' helmsman Lang Meyer decided to shoot the sixth and seventh films of "speed and passion" in a row. He gave up the biography of Luke Hobbes to ensure that the two sequels could be completed with both quality and quantity, so he withdrew from the competition for the summer season in 2012 and focused on the spring or summer season in 2013, The specific schedule depends on the shooting schedule.

In other words, "speed and passion 6" will not start shooting in the near future. Paul was told to wait until after the Oscars. So Paul packed his bags, flew all the way to England, and then arrived in Hampshire. Before the filming of "tomorrow's edge" officially started, he successfully joined the cast at the last moment.

Today, "tomorrow's edge" will be officially launched. It was less than six hours before Paul arrived in England.

Before Paul's arrival, the "edge of tomorrow" crew had been running in and rehearsing for nearly two weeks, and had equipment training. Paul was absent from the training, so although today is the first day of the start-up, Paul still needs to go to the crew ahead of time to complete the makeup fixing, modeling and other work, and then meet with the members of the crew to get to know each other, and then the crew will hold a small start-up ceremony inside.

That's why Paul gets up at four in the morning. The first day is always very busy, especially for Paul today.

After a stretch, he turned to the bathroom and quickly washed, Paul left the room and walked towards the set not far away.

This is a small town called liviston. Even in a remote place that many British people are not familiar with, it is a natural place to make movies. Warner Bros. has set up a studio here. There are port, forest, farm, countryside and other scenes with European characteristics nearby. It can shoot many types of films. In addition to Warner Bros., other large film companies occasionally rent the studio here and put it into shooting.

Warner Brothers has filmed many "Harry Potter" films here. In order to make full use of copyright resources, they even set up a tour group here to visit the "Harry Potter" film set, so that fans from all over the world can experience the magic of the film set up close.

In liviston, in addition to the studio of Warner Brothers, it is a remote and ordinary town with simple residents. In order to avoid affecting the daily life of local residents during the film production, the photography base can be said to be a small village, equipped with all the accommodation systems. During the shooting, all the actors lived in the B & B of the base.

The so-called B & B does not refer to the big shop or shared room. Generally speaking, the main actors can have a room alone, while the mass actors and the Dragon set actors may need two or four people to share a room. Nevertheless, the leading actors must live in the same environment as other mass actors and long Tao actors. For a small number of top brands, it is hard to adapt.

If these big name actors need relatively private space, then the nearby villages have cleverly launched B & B services. They can choose to leave the photography base and have their own independent space, which is equivalent to renting their own apartment or villa near the studio.

Rumor has it that there is a castle to rent in the town next door, which is only 15 minutes' drive away.

However, Paul is not picky, he chose to live in the photography base. It's not just Paul, it's said that this is true for the entire "tomorrow's edge" crew. If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that this is a drama group without any big names. Young people are the absolute main part of the drama group.

The photography base itself is like a small town, with 12 studios, four warehouses, a double-storey office building and a specially designated living area. After leaving the accommodation, Paul sat on the golf cart and drove for about ten minutes to reach the dressing room.

The dressing room is just opposite to Studio 8. Today's start-up will begin in Studio 8 to shoot all the scenes of the air force base.

The so-called air base is actually Heathrow Airport in the movie. In the background of the story, Heathrow airport has become a transit point for the army to go to the front line. The film will be shot in two parts, one in Heathrow airport and the other in the studio.

Permission has been obtained for the shooting at Heathrow airport, but the schedule needs to be rescheduled. So, the first scene starts inside the air force base, the first meeting between William cage and team J.

Entering the dressing room, Paul thought he was the first to arrive at the scene. After all, he was the last one to join the cast, and today's first play has his share. He has countless tasks to complete: fixing makeup, fitting, reading scripts, reciting lines, skilled actors, rehearsing before rehearsal

Get up at 4 o'clock and start the ceremony at 9 o'clock. In fact, time is not enough. But he can get up at three, not the other staff. So he has to speed up. However, seeing the busy figure in the dressing room, he was dazzled. Paul almost had the illusion, "is it four o'clock in the afternoon?"

The expected dressing room should be empty, and then a few makeup artists and stylists sit on the chairs and doze off, begging for coffee everywhere; In fact, the dressing room is full of people, no noise, but everyone is busy with their work.

Paul was sorry when he was young. If for his reasons, the progress of the crew has lagged behind before it started, it's really embarrassing.

"Hey, Paul." A petite woman came up to her. "I'm Abby mills, a drama assistant. If anything happens, you can contact me and I will try my best to solve it. " She showed a shallow smile and held Paul's right hand. "The first thing you need to do now is to try it on in the past. We have received your assistant's email and ordered the military uniform according to the size, but you still need to complete the trial installation."

"OK, no problem." Paul replied dryly, nodding, hesitating for a moment, "excuse me, am I late?"

Abby was stunned, and immediately reflected Paul's meaning, "no, No. It's just that everyone came early on their own initiative. Today's first play requires a large number of mass actors, and all of them need to complete makeup. The time that mass actors report is four o'clock. As a result, the leading actors all abide by this time, which we didn't expect Abby finished the explanation in a few words, "but now there is no work for the actors, so everyone is resting in the make-up area."

Paul was relieved and said with a smile, "it seems that I have to speed up."

Under the guidance of Abby, Paul walked inside, only a few steps away, and then saw the actors scattered in the makeup area, some familiar faces, some strange faces. Subconsciously, Paul began to look for the figure of Langley. But when he looked around, he didn't see that Langley was still sleeping?

This is not surprising. In the past, when shooting "speed and passion 5", lanli was like this, either working or sleeping. Obviously, sleeping is Langley's favorite pastime.

Since he didn't see Langley, Paul was ready to change his way. First he went to try on his clothes, and then he came back to say hello to the actors. His work still had to be light and heavy. But the rest of the sight catches Lan Li's figure, the sleeping Lan Li.
