Waking up early in the morning, Wayne opened the curtains of the hotel, casually put on two pieces of clothes and a coat, ready to go out to see the surrounding environment, and also check again the location that the crew was going to use.
This season in Toronto is much colder than Los Angeles, which is not good news for filming. He just hopes that the filming plan will go smoothly. If it is delayed until it starts to snow, the later filming will be more difficult.
"Hi Wayne, good morning!"
As soon as the bedroom door was opened, a rebellious girl appeared in front of Wayne, and Drew Barrymore was sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for him.
"Hi, good morning."
He cast his eyes on Nina, who was sitting on the other side, who shrugged with a helpless expression on her face.
"So early, do you have anything to do with me?"
As he changed into his sneakers, Wayne looked up at the girl. "Or, you should accompany Jaedon and Qiao Sen. You can have more contact together, and by the way, you can play a pair in advance."
This little girl is not easy to mess with, and Wayne doesn't want to accompany her to play adult games. They can only have a working relationship at most.
"Do you want to go out and see? Can I go with you?" Although the words were questioning, the girl was an activist, and she had taken the initiative to follow Wayne who had changed his shoes, watching him wrinkle. He frowned, then pouted and said:
"Those kids are so naive, especially Jaden Lieberher who plays Bill! Always sneaking at my **** and ass, but stuttering when I talk to me."
"Ms. Barrymore!" Wayne shook his head helplessly, the girl was simply not abstain from meat and vegetables, and pointed her finger at the other's mouth. "If you want to follow me. Just keep your mouth shut."
Before going out, Sergey took the initiative to follow up, and Nina obviously didn't want to go out if it wasn't necessary. The assistant lady can stay home all day, just give her a magazine or a TV.
Port Hope, 109 kilometers from Toronto, is about two hours away by car. Compared with Toronto, the scenery here is much better. As a port city, it is a shopping mall for antique furniture, and also has a very prestigious landscape, salmon migration.
However, Wayne and the others are destined to not see this scene. The season is not right. Sergey drove the crew's off-road vehicle and took Wayne and the others straight to the town of Hope.
Because it is located between the picturesque Lake Ontario and the Northumbrian Mountains, it can be said that everything is very beautiful along the way. There is also a nickname here, "Port of Hope, take you back to the past"!
This is the ancient capital of Ontario, and there are only 16,000 residents living here. Wayne chose to shoot here, mainly because there is a ready-made town, and it is very quiet here, and the shooting will hardly be affected by any media. disturb.
Compared to the scenery along the way, the small town of Hope seems to be much more dilapidated. Luke Simmons is directing the props and set personnel to modify the places that need to be used for the shooting.
"Wayne." Drew Barrymore followed him and didn't speak all the way, and she finally couldn't help it. "We're going to be shooting here for a few months?"
"Yes, so you'd better have a good relationship with those little actors, otherwise in a few months, I'm afraid it will be very sad to have no friends." No matter what the girl's mind is, Wayne will not play with her. game.
She is still a minor, even if she really wants to do something, it is impossible, and there is a very important point, this chick does not fit his aesthetic!
The weather is very cold now, which Wayne has never considered. Unlike adult actors, these children will be more troublesome if they get sick because of the summer scenes.
I have already escaped to Canada to shoot, which means I don't want to be troubled by children's rights protection organizations.
"Luke, the school will remain as it is now, there is no need to make any further changes, the set in the sewers and the cave should be fast." After feeling the temperature, he continued: "It's getting too cold here now, let's finish shooting soon. Lens material, lest there be any accident.”
"No problem, leave it to me." Luke Simmons was also more depressed about the temperature. He didn't feel cold at all when he came to Kanjing, but in less than a month, the temperature here is completely different from that of Los Angeles.
Wayne nodded and continued to look around the town. There are more than 100 people in the crew this time, and there are 100 people behind the scenes alone. Now most of them are here to help.
Before leaving, he called Zach Snyder, who was in the observation stand, and whispered: "You have to pay attention to the issue of contraband, this **** place is actually legal! It is much more open than Los Angeles. Actors are all children, there must be no problems!"
"Wayne!" Zach Snyder looked embarrassed. "There are so many people who like to take a sip secretly, we can't handle it."
"Then pray that it won't affect the work, and don't let me find out." Wayne was very disgusted by this. "Otherwise I'll let him go!"
After speaking, he took Sergey back to the car and headed back to the hotel.
Of course he knew that this kind of thing could not be avoided, and this kind of thing was very common in Hollywood. He could pretend he didn't know about secretly smoking leaf cigarettes, but if there were other things, or if they were glued to this group of children, Wayne would definitely let him Fuck off.
In fact, he did not find it difficult to shoot this film, it may be easier than "Escape from the Dead". After all, this is a youth horror film. Basically, there is no need to deduct the problem of acting skills and no need to To dig deep into the heart of a character.
The most urgent thing now is the review of "Batman" by Warner Bros. Only after Warner Bros. has passed the review and the funds are in place, he can quickly contact Industrial Light and Magic and start producing the various special effects and props that he needs to use in advance.
This is where the most time is lost, and the training situation of the Batman actors. It is necessary to audition the actors as soon as possible. The sooner you start training, the more time you will save when shooting.
"What are you thinking?" This rebellious girl who had been with him all the way, never found a conversation with him. Seeing that she was going back to the hotel again, she rolled her eyes and said, "I found a small bar nearby, would you like to invite me? Shall I go have a drink?"
While speaking, he puffed out his chest consciously or unintentionally, and even reached out and scratched the back of Wayne's hand lightly.
"I'm not interested in minors! If I were you, I would put away these small thoughts and focus on the characters." Her methods may be more effective for little boys, but they are too immature for Wayne .
"By the way, if you don't behave well after the boot, even if Spielberg greets me, I will replace you!"
This sentence clearly poked into the sore spot of Drew Barrymore. She pouted. "I have so few roles, and there is almost no chance of bad performance, Wayne, maybe you can modify the character settings, I will definitely thank you very much..."
At this time, Wayne was completely sure that this girl had been completely colored by the big dye vat of Hollywood. This method is common in other crews, but it is usually used on producers, and it is only for innocuous characters.
I don't know if this girl has experienced it, or if she has seen others do it.
The car stopped in front of the hotel, and he went directly back to his room. There were still a lot of things waiting for him about the shooting plan. Wayne just shook his head and smiled when he said the girl, as if he had never heard of it.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he entered the living room, from the moment Wayne started changing his shoes and taking off his coat, the assistant lady stared at him. She didn't even look at Sergey's size. Finally, staring at him so much that he couldn't take it anymore, he asked a question.
Nina looked at the door first, and said in a weird tone, "Where's that girl? Boss, I thought you would bring him back after going out for a while. This is not your style."
"Nina Klein!"
Annoyed by her words, Wayne picked up the director's notebook depressed and lit a cigarette. "What do you think I am, I can't walk when I see a woman posted on it, and take all the bills?"
The little assistant flipped through the magazine, and didn't have any idea of angering the boss at all. "Is not it?"
While modifying the shooting plan based on the real scene he just saw, he said, "That girl is not yet eighteen years old, Nina."
There was one thing he didn't say, that this kind of girl didn't fit Wayne's aesthetic. Having lived here for more than 20 years, he is indeed deeply influenced by European and American aesthetics, but there are some things he really can't accept.
For example, Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz, this kind of food that completely conforms to the aesthetics of the East and the West is his dish, and if it can be distinguished on this basis, it can arouse Wayne's interest.
Charlize Theron's appearance is actually a bit tough in his opinion But it is still within the acceptable range, after all, she has a good figure, with a thin waist, long legs and a tall stature.
Drew Barrymore, forget it.
A few days after arriving in Canada, the crew was still urgently arranging props and sets. Except for observing it once a day, Wayne spent the rest of the time working in the hotel.
He has already drawn many concept maps of Batman, and these things are designed slowly by combining the pictures in his mind. He's not worried about this movie, and he mainly has to consider the beginning of the DC universe.
The first Batman, he was basically adapted from the moment of the war, or called the mystery of the shadow. This comic Frank Miller hasn't drawn yet, which leaves too much trouble.
For the second installment of The Joker, Wayne still has a lot of undecided considerations, which depends on the market performance of the first installment and the acceptance of fans.
A week after arriving in the town, the crew finally officially started the film amid the hustle and bustle. The first scene was the scene at the beginning of the film, the scene of the protagonist Bill's younger brother encountering the clown in the heavy rain.
