"CUT! Nat, feel more emotional. Now you have brought back hope to the planet Naboo. You are the queen, and you must lead your people to resist! You must bring your faith to your people!"
Dunn stood up from the director's chair, looked at the tired actors in the performance area, and shouted dissatisfiedly into the microphone.
Fortunately, Natalie didn't wear her heavy queen attire in this scene, otherwise she would have been tired already.
"Let me try again, Director!"
Natalie shook her head cheerily, took the water bottle from the assistant, and drank it without a ladylike image.
"Hurry up, let's do another one! Prepare... start!"
As the crew was ready again, Dunn gave an order, and the actors in the performance area began to argue again in cadence. Queen Amidala was struggling with the issue of Congress.
In the actor's rest area not far away, Ben Affleck, who was sitting in a chair, watched Natalie repeat over and over a dozen times in a row. He couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Said: "He is really strict!"
The entire crew knew that director Dunn Walker was pursuing Natalie Portman.
Unexpectedly, when he was at work, Dunn was not polite at all, but made stricter demands on Natalie.
Liam Neeson shook his head, "This shows that Dunn has great expectations for Natalie."
Ben Affleck blinked and seemed to agree with Liam Neeson.
Natalie is young and beautiful, her acting skills are good, she is of Jewish descent, and she has Dunn Walker behind her. Such an actress is almost destined to walk on a Hollywood strip in the future.
"Have you heard that because of Dunn, the top brass of Twentieth Century Fox has already quarreled!" Ben Affleck whispered in a low voice.
Liam Neeson heard the rumors in the crew for a long time, and shrugged indifferently, "We just need to act. We are actors and we must support the director, right?"
Ben Affleck smiled, "Of course! The actor must stand on the same line as the director."
It's not that these two have a close personal relationship with Tang En, but they are mainly driven by interests.
Because of Tang En's concept, he greatly reduced the "humor", "cute", "gags" and other younger jokes in the script, and cut out a lot of redundant shots in the middle and early stages, but greatly increased the final battle. Long and hot.
Such a result will definitely increase the roles of Liam Neeson and Ben Affleck, the two Jedi knights, and the Wuzhi team invited from Hong Kong will create more cool and exciting action scenes for them, which will undoubtedly make The two of them performed extra points.
However, such a result has seriously damaged the interests of the producers, especially the investors and distributors 20th Century Fox!
Dunn's reduction of "funny" scenes will seriously affect the film's attraction to children, and peripheral income will inevitably decrease.
More importantly, adding a lot of fights and explosions will likely make the movie PG-13 instead of PG, which will affect the movie's fan audience.
When the Star Wars project started, Bill McNick was very busy with Titanic, so the project was in the hands of President Tom Rothman.
However, Bill McNick passed the "Titanic" first, and then, the film "My Great Greek Wedding", which he advocated for release, but was questioned, has exceeded 120 million US dollars at the overseas box office, and once again Slap in the face!
Bill McNick took advantage of the situation and would never indulge Tom Rothman's continuous provocation. When Tom Rothman pointed fingers at Dunn's filming work, he suddenly shot, directly provoked a big dispute in Fox Films, and cancelled Tom Rothman's control of this project with an absolute advantage.
Outside, with the full support of Bill McNick; inside, with the full cooperation of George Lucas and the actors, Dunn was naturally like a duck to water, and the shooting went quite smoothly.
However, this result led to the complete reversal of Dunn Walker and Tom Rothman!
Tang En is no longer a calf, and he doesn't want to tear his face with such a big guy. But Tom Rothman pushes everywhere, and he's not polite either.
In the performance area, Natalie Portman is still working hard.
Suddenly, the lights of the entire crew went out collectively!
"What's going on? Lights!" Tang En stood up abruptly, listening to the restless voices in the crew, and shouting, "Everyone, stand by and don't move!"
At this moment, the lighting engineer shouted, "Director, the power is off!"
"That's impossible! We have generator sets and backup power!"
Angry George Lucas yelled that such a low-level error during the filming stage was hitting him in the face of the producer.
"Don't worry! Follow my instructions, the lighting team, fix it right away!"
Dunn interrupted George Lucas at this time, took control of the crew, and then said loudly, "Are there any candles?"
George Lucas' face was blue, that is, it was too dark to see.
This is the Star Wars set, who will prepare the candles?
Besides, how old is this? Still need candle lighting?
Just to maintain the authority of Dunn as a director, Lucas can't stop it. After all, he is still young, I hope he can eat a cut and grow in wisdom!
At this moment, the props team shouted, "Director, we have candles!"
"Okay, light up!"
Dunn's voice made the entire crew settle down. Although the candle's light was weak, it was always better than the darkness.
soon.
The first flames ignited in the studio.
Then came the second ray...the third ray...and then dozens of flames ignited together, making the dark studio seem to have turned into a vast night sky, and these delicate swaying flames, It was like the looming stars in the universeGeorge Lucas' eyes suddenly widened. While he felt a little weird, he was also infected by the atmosphere in the studio. Here... it really is Star Wars On the set.
The actors in the performance area followed Dunn's orders and stood quietly in place. Natalie was a little afraid of the dark, but she bit her lip and persisted stubbornly.
Until the wisps of flames lit up around him, it was as if a group of dazzling and lovely fireflies appeared around him.
Then, the group of fireflies started to move. They seemed to have some tacit understanding. They were changing their positions and changing their formations. They actually circled around her in a big circle with her as the center.
After the big circle was completed, a dozen fireflies appeared, flying out of the big circle, surrounding her, and flying around in a small circle.
The shape of this small circle is even more special.
This is a "heart" shape.
……
Today is a special day for Natalie, but because of work, she has never disclosed it to anyone.
But at this moment, the wise and wise Natalie understood at once.
Where is the power outage?
Where is this accidental event?
This is clearly a well-organized and planned arrangement!
Natalie's heart was like a rambling deer, as if it was about to jump out at any time.
She really didn't expect that the secret she thought was hidden in her heart was still discovered.
This kind of surprise and touching made her, who was only seventeen years old, die happily.
She looked in the direction of the director's area, and sure enough, she saw a fiery red candle, against the background of Tang En's handsome smiling face, walking slowly step by step.
This June 9, 1998.
It was destined to make her unforgettable forever!
