Chapter 844： Small supporting role

New York, Brooklyn.

As the sky lighted up, the crew of "Infernal Walker" stationed in an old-fashioned hotel got busy. Ronan, who arrived in New York only last night, also drove by car to report to the crew.

Martin Scorsese is busy preparing for today's filming, and an assistant producer has already been waiting at the door.

"Mr. Anderson." The assistant producer led the way: "Please here."

Ronan nodded slightly, followed him towards the dressing room, and asked casually, "Where are Tom and Will?"

The assistant replied respectfully: "Mr. Cruise and Mr. Smith went to their dressing rooms half an hour ago."

When he arrived in the dressing room, Ronan took off his coat and sat in front of the makeup mirror.

He looked at a female makeup artist who was about forty years old and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Please relax." There is no doubt about the professionalism of the makeup artist of the crew.

Ronan said: "You have the final say here, I will cooperate with you."

The makeup artist secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, sitting here is the boss’s boss, Hollywood’s top powerful figure, and the master of the crew.

She had been worried before, what if she made a request that was not suitable for shooting?

Now it seems that I think too much.

Ronan Anderson has a very good attitude.

The assistant makeup artist was doing the final treatment of the clothes Ronan was going to wear, and the makeup artist was busy around Ronan.

For Ronan, this is also a relatively novel experience.

As an actor with lines, Ronan appeared in the filming for the first time.

This is also his agreement with Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and director Martin Scorsese has no objections.

While the makeup artist was busy, he said, "Mr. Anderson, your facial contours are clear, and your facial features are three-dimensional. Just a little outline will be very photogenic."

Ronan jokingly said, "I'm worried about stealing Tom's play."

The makeup artist laughed. This situation is impossible because the character setting and the shooting angle of the camera lens are determined, and Tom Cruise is the protagonist in the opponent scene to be shot today.

After putting on makeup and changing into costumes, Ronan looked at it, as if he had become an American street gangster in the 1970s and 1980s.

It is estimated that I can sell washing powder.

Ten minutes later, Ronan followed the assistant producer to the set.

This is an old-fashioned bar with very retro decoration.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith have arrived and are talking to director Martin Scorsese.

Ronan walked over directly.

It was working hours, and there was no talk of a few people, and Tom Cruise and Will Smith just nodded to Ronan.

Martin Scorsese didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to Ronan: "The next thing to be filming is your rivalry with Tom."

Ronan nodded slightly and asked, "What do I need to do?"

Martin Scorsese said: "Follow me first."

He came to the entrance of the bar, pointed at the bar and said, "You bring people in from the outside and see Tom sitting there. Go straight to it and use the bottle on the bar to interrupt Tom's hand."

"understood."

Ronan walked twice in a row under the guidance of Martin Scorsese to familiarize himself with the shooting process.

Martin Scorsese saw that it was almost the same, returned to his position, and began to prepare the crew for filming.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith came over.

"Don't be nervous." Tom Cruise said, "Ronan, you are used to filming, but it's nothing."

Will Smith said: "Isn't your acting very good?"

Ronan said, "Can that be the same as making a movie?"

Will Smith smiled and said, "Almost."

Tom Cruise encouraged Ronan: "Although it is a long shot, it is not difficult and there is no literary drama. You can do it."

Ronan is certainly not nervous. Although he has not participated in filming on the spot, he is very familiar with filming after being a producer for so many years.

This scene is really not difficult.

"Get ready." The deputy director came to inform.

Ronan's position was very upright, and he immediately obeyed the instructions and went outside the bar, where he joined several other young actors.

In this scene, he is the head of a group of young gangsters selling laundry detergent on the street. He had a conflict with the male protagonist played by Tom Cruise.

After a few minutes, the filming started, and when notified, Ronan took a few steps forward, opened the door of the bar, and walked in.

Tom Cruise was sitting in a prominent position at the bar.

Ronan felt something abnormal on the left side, and subconsciously rolled his head over there.

"Stop!" Director Martin Scorsese called to stop the filming and said directly: "Ronan, you're looking at the camera."

Ronan raised his hand and said, "Sorry..."

Although he has participated in the shooting and production of many film projects and has absolutely rich experience, Ronan has not experienced any professional training related to performance, and inevitably made mistakes that are more common for novices.

This is also human instinct.

Ronan returned to the outside of the bar, and after a few minutes, the shooting resumed.

Entering the bar, Ronan went directly to the bar, staring at Tom Cruise with a bad eye: "Billy, you are hiding here."

Tom Cruise first said a sentence beginning with "F", then scolded: "You bastards, get out of here!"

Ronan followed the shooting requirements and didn't say much. He directly picked up the prop bottle on the bar and slammed it on Tom Cruise's head.

Tom Cruise raised his right hand to block it. The wine bottle smashed into his forearm and shattered instantly. The splashed liquid fell on the heads of the two of them.

"Ah..." Tom Cruise called painfully.

Ronan kicked Tom Cruise to the ground and greeted the people behind: "Hit me!"

A group of detergent gangsters came up, and Tom Cruise hugged his head in cooperation.

"Stop." Martin Scorsese called to stop the filming and said, "This one is over."

Ronan wiped the alcohol-scented liquid on his face and reached out to Tom Cruise on the ground.

Tom Cruise grabbed Ronan's hand, stood up, and said to Ronan at the same time: "Don't wipe it anymore, we need to shoot."

This also reminded Ronan that there will be shooting next.

"Are you all right?" Ronan pointed to Tom Cruise's arm.

Tom Cruise shook his arm and said, "Fortunately, it's not broken. Ronan, did you use too much strength to avenge your personal revenge."

Ronan spoke eloquently: "I'm worried that the wine bottle won't break."

Tom Cruise said helplessly: "Don't you worry about planning my arm?"

Ronan added, "I tried the props when they were first made, and there is no problem."

The filming soon started again, Tom Cruise lay on the ground again, Will Smith appeared on the scene, as a policeman, broke into the bar with his partner.

This scene is also not difficult, and Ronan will not be allowed to show his acting skills in such a small role.

Will Smith rescued Tom Cruise from the bastard, then took Ronan and brought out the bar, even if the filming was over.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith are in very good condition. Ronan is just acting as the background board for the first time these two characters really meet, and don’t play much. Everything is in accordance with the requirements of director Martin Scorsese. Step by step is enough.

In any case, in addition to making a low-level mistake at the beginning, Ronan used his years of experience as a producer to finish two scenes in only three shots.

After the shooting, Ronan went to Martin Scorsese to see the specific shooting situation.

In both scenes, the camera focused on Tom Cruise or Will Smith. His small character who stepped on people first and then was stepped on was very inconspicuous.

Even the face flashed by.

Ronan can also understand why he only took two shots and only took three shots.

It's not how well he plays, but the camera's requirements for this role are relatively low.

After all, this is a character that is not even a small supporting role.

At the end of the two scenes, Ronan finished filming all of his scenes, and then returned to the dressing room to remove his makeup, and then watched the shooting on the set.

As in other crews, Ronan never expressed any opinions on the set during the filming of the crew, and will maintain the absolute authority of the director during shooting.

Even if there is a problem, it is resolved by communicating with the director privately.

Moreover, Martin Scorsese's professionalism and ability in directing far exceed him as a producer.

Martin Scorsese is very strict, Tom Cruise and Will Smith are in very good condition, most of the shots are taken only once or twice.

Frankly speaking, at the Oscars, some actors can't get performance awards, it's not that there is a problem with acting.

Prejudice often affects the choices of many judges.

Because he had already won the best actor in the last Oscar, and the relationship is very good, Will Smith did not compete with Tom Cruise for the first actor instead asked for the role. The second actor with a lighter weight.

Tom Cruise also worked very hard. He started to prepare for the role before the production of the crew. He appeared in the camera and started with the word "F" at every turn. He didn't look like Tom K. Ruth.

In the past, Tom Cruise played too many cool and handsome roles. In the eyes of those middle-aged and old whites, he was a representative figure of the milky sect. Even if he played well in some movies, he still chose to ignore it.

Tom Cruise has always wanted to get an Oscar for best actor, even if it has no effect on his status in Hollywood.

Before Tom Cruise and Pat Kingsley fell out, the fuse was the Oscar rush.

The goal of "Infinite Walker" is very clear, that is, the future awards season and Oscars. Ronan has set three main goals, namely the best picture, best actor and best director.

The focus of Relativity Entertainment this year is "Brokeback Mountain", "Infinite Walker" will naturally be placed next year.
