Chapter 303： One-man show

These unofficial civil organizations are often more difficult to deal with than government agencies. Fortunately, they are only members of an environmental protection organization. If it is a fish or crab protector organization, then this movie must be stranded here. .

In fact, many crews have been challenged by various inexplicable associations. Scarlett Johansson, who was filming "The Horse Whisperer" in Montana, once complained on the phone to Ryan that a certain animal protection organization, Supervisors were stationed in the crew to observe the crew’s attitude towards the horses.

Those horses who act as props have not only become the best-paid actors in the crew, but also don't have to work overtime. As long as the working hours exceed the regulations, even one minute, those people will stand up and chirping, making the crew annoying.

On the contrary, those human actors who work overtime and are overloaded, they turn a blind eye.

After listening to Scarlett's words, Ryan also remembered some media complaints that killing people in North America is no big deal. If you kill a dog, it is the real trouble.

Fortunately, this is Fiji, and many things have room for change. Ryan believes that the various organizations here should not be as perverted as in North America.

"This is the request of the owner of the island. He asks us to try our best to maintain the style and appearance of this place."

After the environmentalist named Helen Kisson went away, Robert Zemigis briefly explained a few words, "We need to follow the customs and regulations of the island here, Miss Anna Kisson. Responsible for the full supervision."

"Find someone who is responsible for communicating with her." Ryan still understands the principle of going to the countryside.

Although he is also a producer, Ryan has given the management of the entire crew to Julius Stewart. The next one is a one-man show, and he needs to use his performance to prop up all the shots. We must devote all our energy to the role of Chuck.

Ryan took a rest for a night, and after another half a morning of trial shooting, his one-man show officially started.

In the tent serving as a temporary dressing room, the stylist is dressing up Ryan's appearance more mature, and at the same time reminding some follow-up precautions.

"Ryan, from now on. You need to grow your hair and beard..."

He looked at Ryan's face, sighed and said, "Well, I'll take care of the beard problem."

It is obviously an impossible task for an 18-year-old young man to grow a full beard in a few months.

In fact, Ryan has kept his hair since the New Year. The beard problem is really hard to solve.

The best way is to lower the age of the protagonist Chuck. However, if he is too young, his life experience will be reduced, and the protagonist’s persuasive power will be further reduced. For such a film that is almost a one-man show. . That would be a catastrophe.

Of course, for those experienced makeup artists in Hollywood, whether it's hair or beard. It's all small problems.

"Ryan, is it all right?" Anna Howard asked at the door.

"I'll be fine soon, Anna." Ryan sighed slightly, and the scenes that were about to be shot flashed in his mind.

On the island’s beach, lights, cameras and other equipment were already ready, Ryan lay in the life raft and gave Robert Zemigis a thumbs up.

"Sixteenth scene, second act, now begins!"

The sleeping man was lying in the yellow life raft with an abnormal blush on his face. The surrounding sea continued to wash around, and when the morning sun completely dissipated the darkness of the disaster, he slowly opened his eyes. Confusion and doubt flashed through the pale blue eyes, as well as the rejoicing of the rest of my life...

After a few low coughs, the man used his hands and feet together and climbed out of the life raft, but now he looked a little weak and fell directly on the beach, letting the sea wash the fat sweater and dirty trousers.

Wiping off the water droplets and sand on his face, the man slowly crawled forward and came to a place far away from the sea. He looked into the distance, except for the sea or the sea, and inexplicable emotions shrouded the firm face.

As if remembering something, the man fumbled in his pockets all over his body. A black copy machine was held in his hand with hope. However, this absolutely waterproof copy machine was filled with water. It cannot be used either.

Draining the water inside, the man threw the torture machine aside in disappointment, and took out a pocket watch from his pocket, which was the Christmas present given to him by his fiancée.

When he opened the pocket watch, the pointer had already frozen. He put it in his ear and listened, knowing that the watch must be broken. After looking at the photo of his fiancée in a daze, he put it away solemnly.

The plane crash and the frustration of living on an isolated island were unable to bring down this man for the time being. His eyes kept flying around, trying to find some hope and some clues.

Soon, something attracted his attention.

Wearing a drenched sweater and trousers, with fine sand on his face, the man stood up firmly, strode forward, and picked up the FedEx mail that was being baptized by sea water...

"Cut!" Robert Zemisga showed a satisfied look, "Very good, Ryan, your performance is great!"

Despite the reputation of the other party, he did not expect that after such a long interval, the other party would have recovered the state so quickly.

"Any trick, Ryan?"

When he walked to the rest area, Anna Howard handed over the towel and blanket in time. Ryan just took the towel and wiped off the sand on his face, "Because I don't want to be soaked in the sea anymore."

Hearing that this was not a reason, everyone around him laughed.

The shooting of this movie can be regarded as an alternative in Hollywood-style production. It is shot almost completely in the sequence of the development of the movie plot, and the scene does not need to be changed too much. The actor is only Ryan for the time being, as long as he is in sufficient condition. OK, the shooting progress will be exceptionally smooth.

Strictly speaking, this movie is considered to be the most adequately prepared by Ryan. Not only did he gain weight to make himself look more mature, it also received extensive field survival training from George and professionals.

These are all conducive to his better control of this role.

Ryan's condition has been very stable. Although occasionally there are a few shots with double-digit ng, the overall shooting progress far exceeds the actual plan of Robert Zemigis.

Of course, for the production of Hollywood movies, the length of the shots that need to be shot can often reach ten times the actual length of the movie.

In addition to the crew and the member of the Environmental Protection Organization, two FedEx employees came to this island. They carried a large number of mail boxes and packaging boxes. This was not only the props of the crew, but also their best. Advertising carrier.

"Ryan, according to the current shooting schedule, we can save a quarter of our expenses at this stage."

At lunch, Ryan and Robert Zemigis got together. The director was obviously satisfied with the shooting in the last few days, "This way we can have more money to invest in post-production."

As for returning the money saved to investors, it is absolutely impossible for a qualified director.

"These things, you can coordinate with Jules." Ryan is still the nature of letting go of the shopkeeper.

Compared with the previous life, the budget of this movie is only 65 million US dollars, of which 20 million US dollars is Ryan's remuneration. This movie is not made by Jenkins Pictures, and he does not have the money to take. Will be soft.

After "Titanic", even in terms of acting alone, he is also the first-line superstar in Hollywood, not to mention 20 million dollars. If Ryan is willing to nod his head, at least ten or more producers are willing to help He paid out thirty million dollars in remuneration to star in a movie produced by their company.

With the deepening of filming, Ryan's field survival training has gradually played a role. Although he will be thrown into the uninhabited field, 80% will die, but his performance in front of the camera is completely an amateur survival expert. .

Whenever the assistant director called the start, the protagonist he played would open the coconut with a stone tool, use the coconut shell to collect rainwater on the leaves, and use a sharpened wooden stick to fish in the sea.

Even, he personally paddled a yellow life-saving kayak into the sea and fought against the wind and waves.

Two weeks later, perhaps after a long period of continuous shooting, Ryan’s long light brown hair was curled and twisted into a ball, and the upper body of his body became almost bronzed and uncut, and it looked like at first glance. , Like refugees who wandered here from Africa.

"You don't happen to have a match, do you?"

In front of the camera, Ryan is using the most primitive method to make a fire, and the object of his speech is a volleyball.

His arms are protruding muscles and he is holding a sharpened wooden stick is quickly rubbing the wooden trough on the beach. The sky blue eyes will turn around from time to time to take a look at the red face on the volleyball. It seems that this only partner can bring him strength and confidence.

The hay on the wooden trough finally burst into blue smoke, Ryan hurriedly squatted on the ground, blowing lightly, trying to turn that spark into a life-saving fire.

However, disappointing things happened, the smoke gradually dissipated, and there was no trace of the fire.

"There is air going in!" Ryan glanced at the cracked wooden trough and said to the volleyball very seriously.

Under the gaze of his only companion, he quickly regained his confidence, made preparations again, and repeated friction and fire.

The firm face, dripping sweat, the expression of never admitting defeat, and the volleyball all supported him to continue.

The green smoke rose again, and the sky blue eyes were filled with hope, and a few breaths slowly fell on the dry grass. The fire that brought mankind from barbarism to civilization finally ignited!

"Hahaha...fire, my fire has finally come!" ()
