In Paris, Duke mainly filmed the scene between Leonardo’s actor and dream builder Adrian. When the crew arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Scarlett Johansson and Michael Caine had arrived early. Waited here. ",
Except for the snow-capped outdoor scenes in Canada, Paris is already the last stop of the crew overseas.
Because there have been enough rehearsals in the preliminary preparations, after the jet lag passed, the crew quickly entered the shooting state.
However, filming in Paris also has certain troubles. Duke needs to shoot some explosive scenes, but the Paris authorities do not buy his account, and the crew is strictly prohibited from using explosives. Fortunately, Duke had prepared for it and asked Jos Williams to do it before. The team did a lot of related experiments, using high-pressure nitrogen to complete the explosion effect.
During the preliminary preparations, the crew tested it for several weeks, and the actual shooting results were also very good. You must know that the two protagonists were located in the center of the explosion, but they were not affected at all during the shooting, even the paper cups on the table did not move.
In the high-speed slow motion shot by six cameras from different angles, the explosive fragments are floating in the air like suspended objects, which is enough to create an extremely shocking visual impact.
After shooting the rivalry between Scarlett and Leonardo, Charlize Theron, who was promoting the World Cup in South Africa, also came to Paris on time to report to Duke and the crew.
Duke rented an old hotel in Paris to film the role played by Charlize Theron who jumped off the building.
Of course, this will not be shot on a high level. The shooting location is on the first floor. Then, by using lens misalignment and editing methods, you can easily achieve the desired effects in the film.
Outside the hotel, on the periphery of the crew, Scarlett folded her arms and looked at Charlize Theron sitting on the windowsill. Posed slightly.
She said to Tina Fei, who was standing together, "She stabbed me during the morning shoot."
Tina Fei turned her head and looked at Scarlett in a little surprise, not quite understanding what she meant, the scene in the morning. It was she who entered the dream of Leonardo's character and was killed by the subconscious character...
Scarlett drooped her right hand, gently rubbing the position below her chest line, "I don't know if she did it on purpose, when she stabbed me with a prop knife, she used a bit of strength, and I still hurt..."
"Uh……"
Tina Fei didn't know what to say, and no one could say whether the other party intended it. And even if she was really intentional, no one could say anything in that situation.
Looking at Charlize Theron on the window sill, Scarlett was still muttering something, probably looking for a chance to return.
But when the shooting started, she immediately closed her mouth, Scarlett knew it well, no matter what the reason. Neither can affect Duke's work.
The two cameras crossed diagonally without affecting each other, aiming at Leonardo and Charlize Theron in front of two opposite windows. The microphone used for live recording also slowly dropped from above to the upper edge of the window.
Leonardo walked to the window, saw Charlize Theron sitting on the opposite window sill, and asked very surprised, "My dear, what are you doing?"
"Come together." Charlize Theron shook his feet from time to time.
"You go back to the house first." Leonard said with a gesture of persuasion. "Okay? Go back to the house, hurry up!"
"No!" Charlize Theron refused without hesitation. As the lighting team adjusted the scene light, her face was gradually covered in the shadows, "I want to jump. I want you to jump with me!"
"No, I don't know how to jump." Leonardo shook his head slightly and said, "My dear, now you listen to me, if you jump now, you won't wake up, understand? You will die! So Go back to the house, okay?"
"Please!" He continued, "You go back to the house, let's talk about it."
"We've talked enough!"
With that, Charlize Theron kicked off a high-heeled shoe, and the shoe fell quickly and landed on the green mat under the window.
"Sally!" Leonardo frowned immediately, his eyes widened.
"Hurry up, or I will jump down now..."
Before Charlize Theron finished speaking, he was interrupted by Duke's shout, "ut!"
He beckoned Leonardo, Leonardo jumped directly from the window, and walked in front of Duke in a few strides.
"My question?" he asked, pointing to himself.
"Frown, stare..." Duke replayed the footage just taken, pointed to a movement of Leonardo, and said unceremoniously, "I mentioned to you the three biggest flaws in your performance, and they appeared at the same time. Two!"
Leonardo lifted his chin, looked at the picture frozen by Duke, and nodded, "I will try to correct it."
Duke waved his hand at him, "Go back and apply makeup and continue."
As early as a few years ago, Duke mentioned to Leonardo about his three biggest problems when performing, frowning, staring and roaring...
These are three very obvious problems, and the most direct consequence is that when all the characters are played, in some ways, they become Leonardo DiCaprio.
From knowing Leonardo DiCaprio when filming "Saving Private Ryan" in 1995, Duke is very clear that Leonardo’s acting skills are definitely not bad, maybe he lacks some talent, but every You can see that he worked very hard in all the films.
Among actors of similar level, Leonardo must be the one who works very hard.
Duke still remembers the scene he was shocked by when he watched "The Rescued Jiang Ge". Leonardo accidentally slapped the glass and covered it with blood. Normal people would not watch it subconsciously. A hand or a scream, but Leonardo did not, and calmly continued to act, and also used his **** hand to rub the face of the female black slave improvisationally, fully starring a bloodthirsty, cruel and profitable southern slave.
Nowadays, Hollywood and even the entire North American film circle often compare Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. The three have commonalities and are the best in Hollywood. The superstars also want to get the best actor, the Golden Man, but they are not welcomed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In fact, as long as these three people can maintain their status, they will be recognized by the college in the future. There are too many examples in the past, and the Oscar performance award has never been determined by the role and acting skills.
But among the three, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio walked very wide, but Johnny Depp was different. Once there was an accident in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he would not take long. Will fall from the position of the superstar.
This is also related to the different styles of the three people. To a certain extent, Brad Pitt is a yuppie line. This is related to his image. There will be audiences for acting a bit. Johnny Depp’s acting is gloomy and Jumping back and forth between off-line, his span is very large, but the two directions are not mainstream, and the characteristics of his own school are obvious; Leonardo is a typical academic acting, pays attention to one move and one type, which is most suitable for Hollywood Style protagonist shaping.
It's just that Leonardo's Chongao's thoughts have been too obvious these years, and when he was young, he offended the old man in the academy. It is not easy to win.
However, in Duke's view, among the three, Leonardo has the greatest chance of getting the best actor Oscar first.
Johnny Depp may be one of the first to fall. A non-mainstream like him, as long as it continues, if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a bit turbulent, I am afraid it will not take too long to leave the mainstream film circle.
In fact, he is more dependent on a series than Tom Cruise.
The former Depp has left a deep impression on Duke. He left the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and made a massive six-strike tragedy, and it is not a small one, but a super big one that can make investors spit blood. Pounce on the street.
Duke was quite satisfied with Leonardo's performance in Inception. With one exception, he is really not suitable for acting in action dramas, which are far worse than the image and acting skills.
Fortunately, there is another kind of stunt double in this world.
After filming the rivalry between Charlize Theron and Leonardo DiCaprio, Duke temporarily handed over the remaining work of the crew to Anna Prinz, and he walked in here with Tina Fey. A hotel, Jamie Johnson, who is in charge of Warner Bros’ publicity and distribution affairs, just came to Paris from Los Angeles today.
He came here not only to explore the progress of the shooting, but also to discuss with Duke about some publicity matters.
In the coffee shop, Duke put Tina Fei’s custom Apple machine in front of Jamie Johnson and said, “I think we must pay attention to the publicity on the terminal device.”
It is now 2010, and the penetration rate of smart phones is quite high. For social networking sites such as instant sharing and Twitter, the number of mobile phone users has gradually surpassed the p-side.
"The rise and popularization of emerging media represented by the Internet, mobile phones and various pda devices has enabled consumers in contemporary society to no longer simply be passive recipients, but to directly participate in knowledge production activities such as content and information. Production in Go-Consumer!"
Although not as professional as Jamie Johnson, Duke mentioned the big picture. "The past situation of monopolizing information production and controlling the flow of information is being replaced by a more democratic and diverse form of mass participation media. This transformation has not only enriched media content and increasingly complex voices, but also provided opportunities for the cohesion of the community and collective identity and wisdom."
He solemnly said, "These are all aspects that must be paid attention to in film promotion."
"I know!" Jamie Johnson nodded and said, "Warner Bros. is also using your suggestions to develop targeted publicity strategies."
Duke knew very well that in order to be more successful, Inception must make a fuss about its publicity. (To be continued.)
