Eric returned to his seat, and two minutes later, the filming began again.
This rivalry scene lasted more than three minutes. Of course, it was impossible to shoot it in one go. Eric divided the three-minute scene into seven sub-shots with an average of less than 30 seconds, and for each shot Eric Strive to achieve the perfect state, so the number of ng far exceeds other shots taken these days.
Cruise and Hanks also gradually seemed to realize something, and their performance requirements became more and more strict. In the end, it was obvious that they were competing. Sometimes when Eric felt that the effect was good, Crewe But Adams or Hanks will take the initiative to pick out the flaws in their performance just now, and then ask to reshoot.
For this situation, Eric is quite happy to see the results. I don't know when the two superstars will cooperate next time. Maybe there will be no chance to cooperate again in the future. Therefore, Eric also wanted to leave a perfect rivalry scene in this movie.
"Card… "
After another ng, Eric looked at his watch, from the last scene to the present more than an hour, only five of the seven sub-shots in three minutes have been completed, and the last two most important one-minute lobbying by Andy There is no filming.
But the off-duty time has come. Looking at Cruise and Hanks, who are still flying sparks, and Joe Pesci, who has been waiting for nearly an hour to play the role of the chief inspector of the serious crimes team, Eric reminded: "It's already off-duty time." Yes, two."
After Eric finished speaking, he looked at Cruise and Hanks expectantly. As an oriental person, he had no aversion to working overtime, and even took it for granted. He also wanted to work overtime for an hour. All the shots have been shot, so I hope the two of them will take the initiative to ask for extra time to complete this shot.
But Eric found that he had seriously underestimated the paranoia of Europeans and Americans towards the eight-hour work system. Hearing what Eric said, Cruise and Hanks, who were still eager to try, both played directly, stood up and shook hands with a smile. After shaking his hand, there was an emotion of meeting his opponent in his expression, and then he greeted Eric respectively, and then began to pack his things and plan to leave. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of working overtime at all.
Eric complained in his heart, but he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and announce that the crew was done.
After that, Eric found time to walk to Joe Pesci: "Sorry, Joe, I kept you waiting for an hour."
Joe Pesci shook his head without hesitation, and said in his unique voice: "It's nothing, Eric, I just watched a wonderful performance for an entire hour, and now I am a little worried about my performance. As expected."
"You don't have to worry about this at all. I think it's Hanks who should be worried. I think he may be robbed by your character at any time. Your character's lines and action design are so hilarious."
"It's true, but I haven't been in a comedy before, you know, I've been in Raging Bull and Once Upon a Time in America, and most recently, Fire and Rescue, it's not a comedy. "
"Joe, I think you are more suitable for comedy. Maybe after this movie, you will discover your talent for comedy. To be honest, you know "Home Alone". When I filmed this movie, I thought of that age. You are the best person to play the older, stupid Harry."
Joe Pesci's eyes widened slightly. He felt that Eric hadn't lied to himself about this detail at all. It was "Home Alone", and "Home Alone" was about to break through 300 million dollars at the box office.
"Then, why..." Joe Pesci made a meaningless gesture in frustration. Of course he understood what it meant to miss "Home Alone".
Eric understood what the other party meant, and explained helplessly, "Because I couldn't afford you at the time, the budget for "Home Alone" was too small."
"Maybe...you could try to invite me first."
"You know it's impossible. If I wanted you to offer a salary of 20,000 dollars to the actor who plays Harry in the current movie, you would definitely refuse it without even thinking about it."
Joe Pesci understands that this is indeed the case. Although he is not a well-known actor, he has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor after all. Unless he can predict the future, he will definitely not be able to accept a salary of 20,000 US dollars. After shaking his head, Joe Pesci said, "This... is really a pity."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, don't we already have a chance to cooperate now?"
"This is really... Eric, you are bringing this up now just to make me sleep well tonight. I actually missed such a good opportunity."
"In fact, everyone will miss thousands of opportunities in their life, so it's not a big deal. Go back and wash your face, brush your teeth, take a bath, if you can't do it, drink a couple of small wines, and forget about it after sleeping." Eric shot He patted Qiao Peixi on the shoulder and comforted him.
"How could I forget it?" Joe Pesci rolled his eyes at Eric, then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll go back first, this is really..."
Seeing Joe Pesci leaving with a disappointed expression on his face, Eric began to regret telling the other party the news. He originally just wanted to use this trivial matter to get close to Joe Pesci.
Let's hope Joe Pesci doesn't turn into Mrs. Xianglin for a while, repeating 'I missed Home Alone' or something.
After arranging everything, Eric really planned to leave, but at the entrance of the studio, he saw Martin Brest, the director of "Scent of a Woman", and the assistant behind him was holding a thick stack of file bags.
Eric knew what was inside at a glance. After greeting, Eric asked: "Martin, didn't you say that the candidate list can only be determined the day after tomorrow? Why is it so fast?"
"Sorry, Eric, the original plan was indeed the day after tomorrow, but due to various reasons, the screening was completed two days in advance, and Al also wanted to start the machine as soon as possible, so I can only wait for you here."
"Why didn't Al come?" Eric asked curiously.
Martin explained: "Al has already begun to figure out the role. He is adapting to the living habits of the blind these days, and he specifically asked me not to disturb him."
Eric nodded in understanding, thought for a while, and pointed to a Passat parked not far from Martin: "Is that your car?"
Martin nodded.
"Then let's talk in the car. I happen to be going to Malibu. Is it convenient to take me there?"
"No problem at all."
Several people got into the car, Eric gave the address, and Martin's assistant started the car.
In the backseat, Eric first unwrapped the shortlist for one of the most important protagonists, middle school student Charlie Simmons.
Martin explained next to him: "Eric, these are excellent young people who have passed two rounds of auditions. Because there are more middle school students in them, there are a total of 30 shortlists, and you selected Charlie Simon After casting the actor for Stanley, we can choose a series of Charlie's classmates directly from the remaining list."
"Well," Eric pulled a thick stack of documents out of the file bag, and asked casually, "By the way, how about the Miss Gabrielle Anwar I introduced?"
Martin felt that the petite girl might have something to do with Eric, so he explained in detail: "After her role was confirmed, the girl went back to England a few days ago, but she came back soon, and is currently living in Willow. In a hotel on Ershe Avenue, by the way, she also visited you when you were unexpectedly unconscious that day. Eric, do you need the address of her hotel?"
"No need," Eric just asked casually, scanning the list, the 30 candidate lists are arranged in alphabetical order according to the actor's surname, so Eric saw two juxtaposed names on the prefix d names of Hollywood stars.
