"Zach, do you know, uh, what 'xìng' means?" Evan Bell was talking to Zachary Gordon, while his mother Samantha Gordon was on the side. "Do you know the domain name?"
Although "Mysterious Skin" is only Evan Bell's second time directing, Evan Bell has grown a lot compared to "The Notebook", not to mention, when he adapted the script of "Mysterious Skin", Every picture, composition, light, even the direction of the camera, the movement of the characters, etc. are all depicted in my mind. It can be said that Evan Bell has the entire movie in his mind. All he needs to do is to twist the entire crew into a rope, and then shoot the picture in his mind, and that's it.
Evan Bell felt it was more difficult to guide the actors than to shoot. The tone, style, and atmosphere of the entire work of "Mysterious Skin" are slightly heavier and more complicated. If the actors' performances are too thin, it will only make the movie frivolous. This time, "Mysterious Skin" has found many potential actors to star in, but at present everyone only has "potential". Including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, each actor has many vague interpretations of the role. place. In the past two days, Evan Bell began to film the part of his childhood, and the other actors sat together and took out the original book and began to discuss, hoping to help each other and achieve the purpose of understanding the characters in depth. And Evan Bell, from the very beginning, faced the important task of how to talk to children!
In fact, Evan Bell does not exclude children. He even thinks that children are very cute at certain moments. For example, Zachary Gordon and Nathan Gamble are very cute. It can always make the crew laugh, the crew has only been established for two days, and everyone fell in love with these two boys. However, when it came time to talk about the drama, Evan Bell began to have a headache.
As Evan Bell mentioned to the parents of the two young actors during the interview, this is not a light-hearted children's movie, and it was only after the consent of the parents that the two young actors were admitted to participate in the performance. Now, Samantha Gordon and Lewis Gamble have enough knowledge of the script of "Mysterious Skin", but the two young actors do not need to have a comprehensive understanding of the plot when they are filming. Evan Bell only needs to Just explain the key points. But it's this "important part" that stumped Evan Bell.
The child in front of him has just passed his sixth birthday, and Evan Bell has to explain such a "profound" topic to him, which is indeed not an easy task. After hesitating again and again, Evan Bell decided to clarify the topic directly. As for how to explain it, it is up to Samantha Gordon.
Thankfully, Nathan Gamble's Bryan didn't need to know this as a child, making Evan Bell's job a little easier.
After listening to Evan Bell's explanation, Zachary Gordon didn't have any doubts or curiosity on his face. He shrugged his left shoulder pretending to be mature, and then pouted. This little adult's action was said by a child, which was really joyful, which made Evan Bell smile, and then he heard Zachary Gordon say, "Mr. Bell, if you say It's how my parents gave birth to me, I think I know a process, but I don't know the details. Do you need me to describe it?"
Zachary Gordon's calm expression and tone made Evan Bell and Samantha Gordon look at each other: the children now are really tough.
Evan Bell smiled wider, "Really? Then can you describe your understanding?"
"Okay, I think it's fine." Zachary Gordon shrugged his shoulders again, it seems that he thinks this action is the habit of adults, and after deliberately imitating it, he always hopes to use this action to express his " Mature". "First, Daddy will kiss Mommy, then they'll use their tongues..."
Shamanha-Gordon couldn't help coughing lightly, his cheeks flushed slightly, "Zach, you don't need to be so detailed."
Zachary Gordon glanced at his mother with a "you're too fuss" expression, and then looked at Evan Bell suspiciously, which meant "Did I say too much?" Evan Bell The smile couldn't help but stiffen, but the child's mother was there, so he didn't want to say anything, just nodded.
Zachary Gordon spread out his hands, and his tiny palms waved regretfully in the air, which made people laugh, "Okay, then Mom and Dad will spin into the room and start **** each other. Dad's hands always like to go up and down Mom's body." "Cough", Samantha Gordon coughed again, which made Zachary Gordon look helpless again, it seems He was very dissatisfied with his mother's ability to bear, "Then father will put mother on the bed and cover it with a quilt. You know."
The phrase "you know" made Evan Bell almost spit it out. It seems that Zachary Gordon is definitely a precocious representative of a kid.
But before Zachary Gordon finished speaking, he held his chin with one hand and made a thought, "As far as I know now, then they got pregnant and gave birth to me, I heard about a tadpole-like Daddy will swim out and go through the quilt, yeah, like a fish swimming in a river," Zachary Gordon also used his free left hand to do a fish-swimming pose, "and burrows into Mommy's body. , it gave birth to a small me. I really don't know how my mother's belly put me in." Samantha-Gordon sprayed it directly, coughed endlessly beside her, and kept patting her own chest . Obviously, she did not expect her son to know so much.
"Mr. Bell, don't you think it's strange? Why can a tadpole swim on a quilt, won't it die of thirst due to lack of water?" The mature calm between Zachary Gordon's eyebrows was replaced by suspicion, He still has great doubts about this part. "I think my parents must have done other things after they covered the quilt, but I don't know for the time being."
After finishing speaking, Zachary Gordon looked at Evan Bell with a sad face, "You saw it too, I do still have a lot of details about the details. Mr. Bell, you can explain it to me. details?"
sweating a lot. That was Evan Bell's only thought.
Although the child is maturing quickly now, he is only six years old and has such a clear understanding of "xìng", and looking at his calm appearance, the two adults, Evan Bell and Samantha Gordon, were shocked. It's all sweat. Now looking at Zachary Gordon's exuberant expression of inquisitiveness, he knows that he is very curious about the story of "Under the Quilt". However, this is not the responsibility of Evan Bell. He expressed sympathy for Samantha Gordon to face the endless problems of her son when she returns.
"Zach, you already know enough about 'xìng'. I think you can just put yourself into the performance according to this state, and vividly show your doubts and curiosity about the parts you don't understand." Children, unlike adults, Evan Bell can't let Zachary Gordon "play freely". It's not easy for children to simply perform as required. After all, not every child can Presenting the performance required by the director in front of the camera. Therefore, Evan Bell still needs to make the request clear.
Hearing Evan Bell's words, Zachary Gordon's eyes drooped dimly, his regret was palpable, but with some helpless relief, "Well, I think some problems can only wait until I grow up in Gradually understand."
Oops. Evan Bell just wanted to say: Boy, your progress has been very fast. When I was six years old in my last life, I was still playing Transformers at home.
Compared with Zachary Gordon's kid, Nathan Gumball is a little more lively, but he is also a precocious child. Seeing that Zachary Gordon and Evan Bell had finished talking, Nathan Gumball ran over all the way, "Zach, I just heard them say, you have to love in the movie. Go on Michael, is this true? It's so strange, why do you fall in love with Michael? Even if you have to choose, it should be Black, right?"
Evan Bell and Samantha Gordon looked at each other, and Samantha Gordon smiled awkwardly, "I think I should go take a look."
Evan Bell couldn't help but nodded, "You should probably call Mr. Gamble, and the first scene will start shooting in twenty minutes."
Looking at the back of Samantha Gordon leaving, Evan Bell can only sigh that the world is changing so fast, why does he feel that he can't keep up. In the previous filming of "True Love Comes First", a ten-year-old child sighed, "Is there anything more serious than being tortured by love?" Now it seems that the children of today are indeed very precocious~www.novelhall.com ~ But Evan Bell just sighed, Zachary Gordon's precocity also saved him from the problem of explaining the word "xìng", which was still good for shooting.
When the filming of "Mysterious Skin" officially started, the smoothness far exceeded Evan Bell's imagination. The two young actors had no stage fright at all. Standing in front of the camera, they could take every shot according to Evan Bell's request. All perform well, and they have absolutely no children's playfulness and restlessness.
From standby, Zachary Gordon and Nathan Gamble will follow the actors in the opposite scene and start shooting. Not only that, they are very serious every time they shoot. If they don't understand, they will directly ask Evan Bell questions. If necessary, it means that the problem cannot be solved. Evan Bell tried his own performance for the first time. To tell the actor his requirements, this method is the best for children.
If you add Michael Fassbender's appearance, the childhood scene of Evan Bell was shot in less than two days.
