Movie Master - Chapter 1022
“Ca!” Lance’s angry voice echoed in the studio, he stood up, frowning and looked straight ahead, “Edward! JK! The third time, this is already the third time!” Lan Si clenched his teeth, “If you don’t concentrate anymore, I don’t mind the whole crew being suspended. When you get back to the state, we will start again at any time!”
Both Edward and JK lowered their heads, with expressions of sincerity and fear, and stood in place orderly, not daring to answer.
Edward quietly raised his head, glanced at Lance, and carefully studied his expression, only to find that there was no anger in those blue eyes, on the contrary, there was a trace of helpless banter. Edward gradually became more courageous, stepped on his footsteps “dong dong dong”, made noises, and then began to arch his back, making a gorilla appearance, beating his chest, and the “dong dong” sound became more and more loud. The bigger it is, the more comical the imitation is.
JK raised his head, glanced at Edward, and then at Lance. After receiving encouragement from Edward, he followed suit, beating his chest, imitating the walking posture of an orangutan. The two confronted each other face to face, and their footsteps moved clockwise at the same time. It looked like a bad remake of the classic Hong Kong/Hong Kong martial arts movies in the 1980s. Get funny.
“Lance, is this what you asked for?” Edward did not forget to turn his head and asked seriously.
Lance only felt his temples beating faintly. He closed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, “I’m talking about boxing, not sumo.”
“Boom”, all the members of the production team burst into laughter in an instant, but Lance turned around, his eyes swept over, and the laughter was suppressed again, but it did not disappear completely. The secretly shrugging shoulders and smiling eyebrows, Instead, he became more restless.
Lance exhaled lightly, shook his head helplessly, and then threw the guide tube in his hand directly to the ground, “Ten minutes of rest!” Grinding his teeth fiercely, he walked two steps away, then turned around and walked back, “Edward -Norton, you will be in charge of the afternoon tea today!” After speaking, Lance turned around and strode away from the set, the laughter behind him could no longer be suppressed, and burst out laughing.
It’s not about losing control, it’s about relaxing. The atmosphere of the “Invincible Hulk” crew is very relaxed and freehand. On the one hand, it is because the shooting progress is very smooth. It is expected to be completed in the first week of February, which is at least ten days earlier than expected; Si intends to relax the atmosphere, just like the filming of “The Day After Tomorrow”. Although the filming is very hard, he still hopes to relax. After all, commercial films are not art films, so there is no need to be tense all the time.
Coupled with Edward, a living creature, he works when he is working, and is full of tricks when he is resting. Talking about pranks, Edward is really not Lance’s opponent. He has been treated badly. The most memorable thing is that Lance put an airbag under Edward’s seat. Every time Edward adjusts his sitting position, he will make a dull fart sound. Puzzled, everyone in the crew gave the same look for a whole day. In the end, the kind-hearted JK found out, but Edward was beyond words. As a counterattack, Edward could only find the right opportunity to deliberately make trouble after NG made a mistake, which also made Lance very powerless.
The scene just now was actually filmed separately. The content was the fighting scene between Hulk and Hatred, and it was also the ultimate decisive battle. Since the two actors have to use motion capture technology and are covered with connecting wires, there is no way to shoot at the same time. They can only be shot separately and merged together in post-production; but in order to make the picture more realistic, the two actors Actors need to rehearse to find a sense of space, and then when they go into actual shooting, the martial arts director will put on a green screen protective suit and confront the actors, creating that kind of punch-to-flesh timing effect.
But when Edward and JK appeared in the camera in full armor, they were like two big fat sumo wrestlers. Their movements were really clumsy. During the rehearsal, the audience burst into laughter. After shooting, they still kept laughing. Three times in a row, the shooting was interrupted because of the same joke.
Not to mention Edward and JK, even Lance himself couldn’t help laughing. When he came outside the studio, he lit a cigarette, and the funny scene just now appeared in his mind again. Lance finally couldn’t hold back, and burst out laughing.
“It seems that you are in a good mood.” You can see Cole Grinder walking towards him, wearing a neat black suit, with a bright smile on his face, obviously in a very happy mood, “Then, it should be good time.”
Before putting the cigarette back into his pocket, Lance handed it to Cole. Cole also took out one and lit it up. “Will you attend the nomination luncheon?” Cole asked, and Lance nodded. The head gave an affirmative answer, “No accidents, it can be finished next week.”
Cole showed a satisfied expression, “That’s good, we still need you to do it yourself in the final sprint.” Indeed, Lance is a jerk, and he offended many people in Hollywood; but Lance is also a genius, A mere “Fury Road” is enough to make him domineering in Hollywood, what’s more, he has more than just this work, so there are far more people who like Lance than hate. They have brewed the momentum for most of the awards season, and it must be Lance who finally completes the harvest, “For the private party, Percy will communicate with Dorothy alone; I will sort out the invitations for the awards ceremony and hand them over to Percy , you remember to attend.”
Lance shrugged his shoulders, expressing his understanding, “Isn’t it because of this that you came here specially?”
“Oh, no.” Cole was not too polite, turned his head and looked around, the Burbank filming base is so busy all year round, people come and go, but everyone has their own work, no one is there Strolling around, no one stopped, “Jil Jacobs called me specifically to inquire about the production progress of ‘The Incredible Hulk’. He wanted to know if the work could complete all the post-production before May.”
“Jill Jacob?” Lance was stunned for a second before he realized, “Cannes.” The chairman of the Cannes Film Festival.
“Cannes will open on May 16 this year.” Cole took a deep puff of his cigarette, “They hope to invite ‘The Incredible Hulk’ as the opening film, by the way, Jill also revealed to me that they are negotiating with Stephen- Freys, I intend to invite him to be the chairman of this year’s jury.” “Queen”, which Stephen collaborated with Chaos Films, had a great time in the awards season, and there are rumors that his next work also intends to continue to cooperate with Chaos Films.
The sincerity of the Cannes Film Festival can be heard in a short message.
Lance thought about it seriously for a moment, “Ask if they intend to unveil ‘Iron Man’.” “Iron Man” was successfully completed three weeks ago and is currently in post-production. In fact, both “Iron Man” and “Invincible Hulk” are very cumbersome post-production works, which are different from Lance’s previous works. Even if “Iron Man” finishes the post-production before May, it is estimated that the Enough, let alone “The Incredible Hulk”.
“You know, they hope it’s your work.” Cole emphasized, “Why, there’s not enough time?”
Lance didn’t answer right away, but thought about it carefully. Landing at the Cannes Film Festival, the focus is not whether to participate in the competition, but to establish a cooperation channel between Chaos Films and Cannes. In the future, Chaos Films is bound to appear more frequently in various parts of Europe, not only as a production company , also as a distribution company, just like the Berlin Film Festival, he hopes to establish links with Cannes and Venice. That’s why Lance hesitated.
But in the end, Lance shook his head, “I don’t want to rush for Cannes and affect the quality. The post-production of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ is very troublesome. I originally hoped that the movie will be released in the summer next year, and it can only be this year at the earliest. The holiday file ~www.mtlnovel.com~ leaves about six months for post-production, and then two months for adjustments, and the next step is publicity. The holiday file is already the fastest.
“Holiday file?” Cole frowned, “I heard that Warner Bros.’ I Am Legend” intends to be on this year’s holiday file.” Lance shrugged noncommittally, and Cole laughed dumbly. In the duel, it is estimated that the one who feels guilty is the other party, “Then I will reject Cannes?”
“Ask ‘Iron Man’.” Lance couldn’t help rubbing the thumb of his index finger again with the thumb of his left hand, still not wanting to give up this opportunity easily.
“But, ‘Iron Man’ just finished, how long ago…three weeks?” Cole showed a puzzled look, “There are only four months left, do you think it can be completed in the later stage?”
In fact, it’s still relatively uncertain, “Iron Man” will have to wait until July or August at the earliest. Regarding the release schedule of the two films “Iron Man” and “Invincible Hulk”, Lance has not discussed in depth with James Corden in detail. He also needs to re-evaluate when he heard the invitation to Cannes today.
Before Lance could answer, Cole expressed his guess, “Or do you have other plans for the future?”
Lance raised his eyebrows, “Where did this guess come from?”
Cole spread his hands, “I’m not sure, hunch?” After finishing speaking, he laughed, “Actually, I recently gave Percy some projects, as long as they want you to be the producer.” Producer After all, filmmakers are more relaxed than directors and actors, and taking care of multiple projects at the same time has no impact, “But I feel that Percy is not very active. Without your instruction, I don’t think Percy will make his own decisions.”
Lance laughed. As an agent, Cole really got to know him better and better, “I’m considering the possibility of playing in ‘No Country for Old Men’.”
