Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 343 Directing Again

Yes, very interesting movie, complex yet simple!In a small town, two gangs of drug dealers, three habitual thieves, and four clumsy little liars happened within a few days.

This is a semi-original script, just like the previous "Little Ghost Thief", which borrowed the framework of other movies and then incorporated it into her own story, but this time Angela borrowed from "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Stone" Racing!

In fact, both "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" are also borrowed from other people's ideas, a British movie-"Two Smoking Barrels"!But the problem is that Angela has completely forgotten the content of "Two Smoking Barrels". Well, it should be said that she can't remember it. Although the memory will never be news, there must be pictures that she can recall That's right, the only thing I can remember about "Two Smoking Barrels" is that Jason Tanson, one of the protagonists, starred in "Very Human Traffickers"!

Although "Two Smoking Barrels" has a companion volume called "Stealing and Kidnapping", Angela can only recall the beginning and the end and some fragments, so it doesn't help.

Fortunately, the girl only needs to learn from the structural model of this kind of movie, and "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" imitate them well enough for Angela to analyze and sort them out.

In fact, the structure of this kind of black humor movie is quite complicated. Basically, several story lines develop at the same time, and then one event is narrated from these clues in turn. narrative.

Then add the black humor of the little characters and the language of complaints-like the two robbers at the beginning of "Stealing and Kidnapping", arguing about the evolution of the Virgin Mary from a teenage pregnancy to a virgin pregnancy.

And there are all sorts of coincidences, blunders, and unexpected endings—at the end of "Crazy Racer."All the dollar bills were placed in urns and buried in graves, and no one got them.

Keeping the camera transitions smooth—Two Smoking Barrels does a good job of this, it’s one comment Angela can recall on the film—is enough.

But even so, the girl's experience is not enough. The success of "Run Lola Run" is largely based on the copying of the original version. Although "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racer" can provide a film structure model for her to analyze, they cannot make her copy it. Smoking Barrel" and "Stealing and Kidnapping" really don't remember.

In fact, if Angela is just practicing, she doesn't have to choose to direct her own semi-original script. Even though she is still making this movie as an independent producer, there are still a few local scripts that can be selected with a small cost.But the girl is not just for practice, she has other purposes!You must know that although the conception of this script came after the filming of "Run Lola Run", it only took one month from the beginning to the completion!This also includes her study and work time!and--

"To be honest, you are much more relaxed than when you directed "Run Lola Run" before." Assistant director Matthew said jokingly.

"You mean to say that when I was directing, I was no longer flustered, short of breath, nervous and anxious. As long as I was NG, I would feel that the end of the world is coming, is that so?" Angela said intently, looking at the monitor without turning her head. .

Matthew couldn't help laughing, with a little humor: "It's the crew members who feel the end of the world. Even if you don't have any expression, we all believe that an automatic rifle is stuffed in your hand. You Will kill everyone!"

"So do you have an automatic rifle now?" The girl turned her head and asked seriously.

"428 Las Tunas Street, you can try to own it this time next year." Matthew replied seriously.

"Good advice, I'll take it with me when I direct a movie in the future, as a deterrent!" Angela said with a grin, and then clapped her hands vigorously: "Okay, guys, let's continue when the time is up!"

It's very easy, this is the girl's current state, unlike when she was directing "Run Lola Run"... worrying about gains and losses-even if she wakes up in time because of illness and hospitalization, that emotion is still in her body, whether it is the director's work or the later stage The production is like this, and it is not relieved until after the release.Of course, she hides it well, and as long as she does things that have nothing to do with "Run Lola Run", she doesn't have such emotions, so few people know.

So, what is Angela's other purpose?

"Cut!" The girl shook her head and yelled, then she stood up slowly, deliberately folded her arms and frowned, looking at the five people in the center of the field, and kept tapping her nose with the index finger of her right hand.

Among them, three men and one woman looked at the girl with puzzled eyes. It seemed that Angela had no intention of speaking, so Xiao Qiao, who had the best relationship with the girl, raised her hand: "Angie, what's the problem?"

"No, no, Xiao Qiao, you, Sean, Jerry, and Mark are all good, basically meeting my requirements, but..." Angela sighed weakly, and looked helplessly at the other person with Thick bags under the eyes and protruding upper eyelids. Under the make-up artist's dress, the man was a bit grinning, but at the moment he was laughing, "Steve! Can't you not steal the show?!"

"Did you act too prominently again? I'm really sorry." The man named Steve still kept laughing, and then spread his hands, "Probably because this is one of the few movies I didn't get killed , so a little excited."

There was laughter all around, and Angela rolled her eyes. This time the movie is the same as the previous "Run Lola Run", the actors are basically newcomers, and the only future star who has the best impression is the one who has the best relationship with her Yes, it is also the only female character Xiao Qiao in the movie!Her full name is Jordana Brewster. She was born in Panama City and was the same age as Angela. She began to play some roles in the TV circle in 95. Angela's movie tentatively named "Ring" is her first big screen work .

To be honest, Angela was very hesitant about using her at the beginning. Xiao Qiao fits very well with the female role in her mind, with bronze skin, black hair and black eyes, very characteristic thick eyebrows, and a very special charming smile. Let her who is not a first-class beauty have a unique charm, but the problem is——

The number of applicants for roles this time is double that of last time, which is not surprising. Mina and Edward's excellent performance in "Run Lola Run" was well received by most people, coupled with the box office sales, Mina immediately With a lot of fame, Edward was able to make a comeback, so that day Miss Talent directed

When the second movie needed actors, fame-hungry men and women naturally gravitated toward them, but this one wasn't...

Of course, the girl chose Xiao Qiao in the end. As long as the soil does not completely cover the pearl, it will always shine.Even if something goes wrong in the future, I can always help.

In addition, just like "Run Lola Run" invited "Agent Smith" to play the banker, "Ring" also invited a very important actor, that is, Hollywood's golden supporting role, who is nicknamed the Bento King. Hugh Busmi!

Steve Buscemi is a very interesting actor. When he plays the leading role, almost no one appreciates him, but when he plays a supporting role, he can attract many people to watch him. Therefore, most of the roles played are criminal roles, and the most amazing one is probably the Hannibal-like role in "Prison in the Sky".However, this kind of chance is very rare, usually he will be killed, and many directors like to kill him in their own movies. Steve has tried many kinds of death methods, such as stabbing with a knife, chopping with an axe, and shooting , and was even thrown into a wood chipper, that's why he has the title of bento king.

But if you think that his acting skills are bad, you are very wrong. Even if his personalized appearance and performance determine that he can only play an absolute supporting role, as long as he appears on the big screen, he can always attract the audience's attention to himself. It's the same even if it's playing with the actor.And Angela has a headache. The actors you play with are all young men and women. Although their acting skills are good, how can it be compared with an old actor like him?Can't bear it?

"Then, since I don't intend to kill you, dear Steve, can you be more careful?!" Angela gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Don't force me to revise the script!"

Well, this threat is just a bluff, the ending of each character is set, and the "Old Dog" played by Steve is a key character, the most well-informed person in the town, and even a little trouble can't be hidden He is a mixture of treacherous and timid at the same time. If he is in a good mood, he often helps the children in the town, so in the end he accidentally ran away with the money after the drug dealers died. Another note was left to remind the four little crooks and habitual thieves that their belongings were still hidden in the basement of someone's house.So if you really want to change it, maybe the whole script will be subverted!

Angela actually likes Steve, the Wannian supporting role, otherwise she would not have invited him to play this role, nor would she have had no choice but to grit her teeth in the face of such a situation.

"I see, Angie, how about we do it again." Steve stopped laughing and showed a serious expression.But the girl did not answer, but frowned and walked around the venue twice, then touched her chin and thought for a few seconds, and then greeted the five actors: "Let's do a preview first, no need to add emotions, just read the lines And just move around.”

After the five actors started, Angela built a frame with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, watched their performance from the frame, and then stepped back and started to move the position until the end of the scene.

"Very well, that's it, Donnie!" The girl smiled happily, then turned to look at the photographer, "Did you see the route I just took? Just move like that later."

After the cameraman nodded, Angela turned to Steve and Xiao Qiao with a smile again: "Just now I have a new inspiration, now listen well, if I do it once, I will end it early today, and if I fail, I will work overtime Until dawn!"

Speaking of this, the girl's smile suddenly turned cold, and a cold wind came out between her teeth: "It's just a little overtime pay!"

Although they knew that it was very possible that Angela was joking, everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps, including veterans like Steve.
