One Hundred and Eighty-Eldest Sister Will Take You to Smoke "Leaf Cigarettes"

"boy."

The little boy who plays Bill's brother is also followed by his parents. He doesn't have many scenes, only a few scenes, but it is the introduction to the whole story of the film. Wayne deliberately squatted down to communicate with him.

"Chasing the paper boat, run like you practiced before, understand? Don't look at the camera or the people around you, just pretend we don't exist."

The little boy looked curious and nodded. "Yes sir!"

"Go ahead, you'll do great!"

Reaching out and touching the child's head, Wayne encouraged him with a smile. There are a large number of children in the crew, and the young actor's emotions are definitely one of the uncontrollable factors. All he can do is encourage.

This scene is relatively easy, but just as everyone expected, when the props team rained down artificial rain, an accident occurred. The child would unconsciously look at his parents every time.

"Cut! Rest for ten minutes."

When this happened for the third time, Wayne reluctantly came to the young actor's parents. They also looked at their son with concerned faces.

"Mr. Thornton, maybe you could go and stay in the car for a few minutes?" He pointed to the prop trailer in the back. "Little Thornton will catch a cold if he continues like this. If you are gone, he might be more relaxed!"

"I'm sorry, we're just not at ease. Okay, you can call us after the shooting." Although the parents were worried about their children, they were quite reasonable.

Walking back behind the monitor, he waved his hand to start again. Zack Snyder nodded, walked to the child and gave another instruction.

"Everyone, step back and be quiet!" Wayne stood directly on the chair and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. "Lee, pay attention to the makeup on your face. If it gets stained, I would suggest the makeup artist mix glue into the paint!"

Before the filming started, the boy looked back to find his parents, but this time he was obviously disappointed. In addition to a dozen cameras of different heights, the only people around him were a large number of crew members and waiting young actors.

The recorder took the slate and came to the main camera again. ""The Return of the Clown", scene one, act one, begin!"

Under the crowd's watch, the child performed quite well this time. Fortunately, a young actor had been arranged to practice moving, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome.

The little boy chased the boat in the heavy rain, stumbling and running. He hit the railing, but kept staring at the paper boat floating away.

"Cut! Zach, this is the shot. Arrange the camera position. While the kid is doing well, keep filming!"

Although in the monitor, Wayne could clearly see the little boy sneaking a glance at the camera on his right when he hit the railing, he didn't plan on dunking anymore. He performed well in other places, and this can be edited out in post-production. .

"Lee."

Waving to Li Guohao, who was dressed as a clown, he pointed at the other person's mouth. "I know this thing is uncomfortable to wear, but you still have to pay attention to the makeup on your face. You have no problem with the performance. Just pay attention to stimulating the child's emotions."

At this time, Li Guohao's image changed drastically. A special hood was put on from the forehead to the back to the entire head. The face was also covered with white paint, and the most important thing was the custom-made braces on the inside.

The ugly and scary part of the clown almost takes a lot of credit. The prop team produced more than a dozen of different sizes and models for use in different scenes.

"The rain truck is ready!"

"The lighting is fine!"

"The camera crew is ready!"

As the sounds of preparation came from various work groups, the scene returned to silence again.

Li Guohao hid in the arranged sewer, stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture.

"Bang!" As the clapperboard was played down again, the little boy looked curiously towards the sewer, and happened to see the clown's ridiculous and gloomy face. He was so scared that he sat on the ground.

"Cut! This part is OK, rest for ten minutes, and give the child makeup."

The several main actors waiting on the side, almost all of whom had never filmed much, gathered together to watch curiously, while Drew Barrymore stood aside.

Jayden Lieberher, who plays Bill, has been staring at the clapper board since the filming started. He is obviously very curious about everything on the scene. After looking at the girls who seemed to be incompatible with him, he finally plucked up the courage and walked over.

"Hi, Drew, I heard from many people that you have been filming since you were a child. Can you tell me what the board with the opening is for?"

He still stuttered when he spoke, but this little boy was obviously very obsessed with bad girls who were a few years older than him. Such girls were very attractive to boys of this age.

"You don't want to date me, do you?" Chewing bubble gum in his mouth, Drew Barrymore glanced at him up and down. "Okay, that's the clapperboard."

Jayden Liebohe secretly glanced at the girl's chest and said, "I'm just curious, but I don't dare to go to those adults. They all seem busy..."

"What a boring trick!" The girl rolled her eyes, but still explained. "Pay attention to the words on the board. It has the number of scenes, shots, director, film title and other abbreviations written on it. One end can be opened and closed to make a sound.

In order to synchronize sound and picture during post-editing, a section must be filmed before each shot, which is used by post-editors to find lenses. There are at least a thousand shots in a movie. If you don’t make a decision, it will be a mess! Because directors never shoot in sequence. "

The knowledge the girl showed off was just the basic common sense among the crew, but after she finished speaking, she found that several children were surrounding her, which made her raise her head proudly.

Behind the director's monitor, Bruce Rosenblum stood next to Wayne and asked curiously: "Although I was very curious during the audition, I still believe in your ability. Now look!"

He pointed in the direction of Drew Barrymore. "I understand that girl, but the remaining children are all novices with almost no experience. Why don't we choose young actors with acting experience?"

"Have you read the original work carefully?" Wayne looked away from the camera replay and pointed to a book that had been placed on the table. "Bruce, this group of children is very suitable. For example, Jayden Lieberher was born with a mild stutter. They are all ordinary children. Compared with that girl, they look more like losers!"

As he spoke, he looked at the group of children and continued with a smile: "Just because they are inexperienced and exude a sense of youthful innocence and failure, they can perfectly show the antagonism between innocence and the cruelty of the real world. This is the key to this story. core.

There is no need for experienced young actors, just because they may not be able to perfectly express the feeling of Loser. This is the story of an alliance of losers slowly growing up. Let those kids have more contact with Drew Barrymore. The more sense of failure the better, I need them to grow up under the camera. "

This is why Wayne is indifferent to the casting of young actors. He has only one requirement for Schwartz, which is to find someone who is as close to the character as possible. As long as the child has aura.

His setting of the young actors in the film is a group of losers. They may be more or less defective due to family reasons or due to their upbringing.

In order to capture that sense of youth in the film, Wayne thought it would be better to just let them play their true colors. As time goes by, these children gain experience and gain the confidence to face bad girls in front of the camera, film and cameras. Record it all faithfully.

"You're right," Bruce Rosenblum said with a smile. "I hope this film can be as successful as your previous ones. You don't know that I am not the only one who is eyeing the position of producer on this crew. There are many producers who want to cooperate with you."

Wayne smiled and shrugged. He believed what the other person said, but it was a bit of a compliment, so it was hard to say.

The opening scene in the rain was filmed fairly smoothly. Most of the crew were veteran employees. This was not their first time working together. A stable team works very efficiently.

When Wayne shouted again, everyone politely applauded the young actor. With these few scenes of this kid, he could be said to have finished filming on the first day of shooting, but in the future, he would have to add a few more clowns to become him. shots, those can be produced back in Los Angeles.

"You did very well, boy!" Squatting on the ground and hugging him, Wayne gave the child a clown mask, which was his old routine. "Believe me, you will see your outstanding performance in the cinema in the future. Of course, your parents must accompany you to see it!"

"thank you, sir."

He stood up and nodded with the child's parents, and they left with the first completed young actor from the crew.

"Okay, let's take a break early and have lunch!" He glanced at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was less than twelve o'clock. However, the first day of shooting went smoothly, so Wayne still shouted into the loudspeaker to take a break.

After he finished speaking, he walked back to his trailer, where the assistant lady had already laid out the food.

"Boss, you have to be patient, there is no Chinese food here!" Nina pointed to the curry beef on the table, as well as some salads and sandwiches. "These are all sent by the hotel now, but they taste pretty good."

But obviously God didn't want the crew to go too smoothly. Just two bites of Wayne's sandwich, Luke Simmons and Bruce Rosenblum entered the trailer together, their faces no longer smiling, full of gloom. .

"There's something, Wayne." Luke Simmons glanced behind him again, carefully observed the director's face, and said, "The kids were taken to the prop car by Drew Barrymore. Zach’s on it!”

"What? It won't be our rebellious girl who takes them into the car to teach these boys about "growing up", right?" Wayne's tone was full of ridicule. This is nothing new. Anyway, those children They are all minors, don't leak the information, just deal with it.

"No, Wayne." Bruce Rosenblum was not as easy to talk to as Luke Simmons, so he spat out obscenities. "That damn little bi**h led them inside to secretly smoke leaf cigarettes!"

“mother f**ker!?”
