After the heroine incident, Sammy continued to make various preparations for the somewhat troubled "Exorcist".
But interestingly, another piece of news that interested the entertainment media has emerged.
During this period, the crew of "The Exorcist" was finally formed gradually under the attention of nearly everyone.
But the problem is, it's different from other crews.
This time, all members of the cast of The Exorcist must sign an agreement in advance.
In this agreement, crew members are prohibited from talking to anyone (including friends and family) about anything on the set, even trivial topics like 'what's for lunch'.
Sammy's external reason is very high-sounding: "This is just an ordinary movie that has not yet started, and it is not a good thing that people pay too much attention to it. I really want to calm down and make a movie now, and I don't want to create more boring topics. So, I decided to let the entire crew keep a low-key and humble creative attitude with me, eliminate unnecessary outside interference, and do our best to complete this film."
is that a lie
Everyone doesn't believe it.
The Kerry brothers, who had seen firsthand how Sammy made a film into an advertisement, were typical of unbelief.
They sighed a lot in private, 'Little Round Face is really good at playing, it's a pity we can't cooperate this time'.
To this end, a large number of paparazzi have run over.
They were ambushed near the filming location, trying to unearth the secrets hidden by the crew.
But they tried their best, and in the end, only under the strict guard of the crew, they got a fixed makeup photo of the male protagonist.
Moreover, it is difficult to say, is this makeup photo released on purpose by the crew? Because the stills look too formal, they don't look like they were taken at random.
However, when these paparazzi posted the photos, they still won a lot of clicks and attention.
In this photo, Bellman swept away the suave, well-behaved nerd image of past films, with soft brown hair dyed in mottled black and gray, but not well groomed and messy Rolled together, it looks a bit sloppy.
He had an expression on his face that was almost delirious as if he hadn't woken up, his face was too pale and haggard, there were many freckles, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, with serious dark circles. The makeup artist may have also made the silhouette very deep, making the face more angular and a little too thin. On the whole, there are probably only a pair of eyes left, and the unique softness and melancholy of the past can still be vaguely seen.
Then, with a lit cigarette between the fingers of his left hand, an odd top hat in his right.
In this top hat, the beautiful and cute little fluffy head of Teacher White Cat is revealed.
[He doesn't look like an exorcist, but rather a wandering magician who takes out his hat at any time and turns people into cats. ]
Netizens who saw the photo couldn't help but commented: [Anyway, this image is unexpectedly beautiful. ]
The reaction from book fans, however, was a bit polarized.
Some of the more stubborn readers said with difficulty: [Although it does have elements mentioned in the novel such as 'dark gray hair, blue eyes, and a long black turtleneck coat', the top hat, the messy metal amulet around the neck , And what about the dark circles and cigarettes that look like smoky makeup? It's not written like this in the novel, is it really okay to change it casually? By the way, the white cat is very beautiful. ]
But another part of the readers who were relatively tolerant did not care much about the changes in those details, and even gave a few words of defense for Sammy: [Bellman's image is okay, although it is not the same as some descriptions in the book, but everyone Has it been forgotten? The original author of the novel, Ms. Selena, is also the screenwriter of this movie! Therefore, these changes should also be agreed by the original author. ]
And then they gave their opinion: [Frankly, I kind of like top hats, metal necklaces, and smoky makeup, how cool. And...that white cat is so pretty. ]
It can be seen that animals are much better off than humans in Hollywood.
Whether it's someone who opposes the male protagonist's style, or a person who supports the male protagonist's style, everyone can reach an unanimous opinion - the white cat is very beautiful.
Teacher White Cat is very satisfied with this.
It secretly took Sammy's computer and kept searching for key words such as 'white cat, exorcist', and then happily watched the various praises and praises from netizens.
As for Bellman...
He hasn't found the feeling of being in the play yet.
"He improved his image too much, and instead appeared deliberate in many performances."
Although Ms. Selena was moved by Sammy's sincerity and seriousness, she was not so satisfied with the male lead Sammy insisted on choosing. Therefore, when Bellman was unable to appear in the movie for many times, she couldn't help but express some disagreements. Very nice speech.
Sammy replied calmly: "He needs a little time."
And Berman's performance is also very attractive: "It's a bit difficult for me, but I will try my best to do everything well."
Lady Selena was speechless.
But she feels that she is falling into a trap called 'do your best', the director promises to 'do your best', and the male protagonist also promises to do your best, but whether the film can be in the situation of 'do your best' Next, become exciting? have no idea for now!
But they do work hard.
In order to help Bellman into the play, Sammy covered the walls of a room with some cutouts from the original novel of "The Exorcist", text introductions and portraits of various demons and monsters, as well as some (in the book) murders from various places. The photos of the tragic death of the victim make it seem as if these are real things that happened in reality.
Moreover, he also reminded: "Although it is a bit old-fashioned, try to face the real self."
Bellman didn't quite understand what that meant.
But the absolutely immersive environment really helped him find the feel of the character.
And when he found the feeling of playing this role, he suddenly understood what Sammy meant: [Breaking the shackles of the original role does not mean abandoning the past. On the contrary, the new role is also a part of his body. display. Except for the schizophrenic, no actor can completely cut himself off from himself and become a completely different person. So, all they can do is, based on certain qualities in the body, make appropriate exaggerations and enlargements. ]
After officially finding the feeling, Bellman finally successfully entered the play.
What is worth admiring is that once he enters the play, he can maintain his role 24 hours a day, which sounds a little crazy, but it is really powerful.
In the filming of 'Albioni, who has not yet become an exorcist, lost the battle because he was too negligent in dealing with the devil for the first time', his eyes were covered with a layer of water, and he was full of emotion and richness. , as if the next moment was about to cry.
Sammy has no idea how this scene was filmed.
It may be the light of that moment, or it seems to be the charm of the actor himself, but in short, it looks very pleasant.
This gave him an instant surge of inspiration.
So, he and Bellman got together, discussed and designed various details about the male protagonist, trying to pour a real soul into the body of the exorcist Albioni, making him lively, Flesh and bloody, lifelike.
But the details of these new designs have turned into a big problem.
Ms. Selena, who has a tendency to perfectionism obsessive-compulsive disorder, constantly deletes the script that has been written for these new details. A slight emotional fluctuation of the male protagonist will make her immediately collapse and want to overturn all the script. Rewrite it again.
It was fine at the beginning, and she changed it as she shot, but later, her speed of changing the script couldn't keep up with the shooting speed.
When the exorcist Albioni was photographed standing on the street with a white cat...
Bellman asked Sammy, "Okay, I'm holding Katie (white cat), what's next?"
Sammy replied irresponsibly: "I don't know, Selena is still writing the script."
"Then how to shoot now?" Bellman had to ask, dumbfounded.
Sammy thought for a while and replied: "You hold the cat first, I'll take a close-up and a street scene and then talk about it."
Bellman: …
Selena is a very responsible person.
When this happened, she was so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide, and immediately stayed up late to write the new version of the script.
It wasn't until her editor asked Sammy in shock 'how did you get her to start rushing the draft'...
She suddenly realized that something was wrong: "I joined the crew as a screenwriter, obviously to prevent my work from being altered by others, but in the end, why was it me... Uh, I have been changing it at Sammy's request. Change it?"
There is no doubt that she is like Bellman.
On the pirate ship!
When Sammy made up his mind to convince someone, forget about the persistence and seriousness over and over again.
It's hard to turn him down.
perhaps…
A dragon slayer who has always insisted on 'the world has dragons' for decades has long been invincible in terms of willpower!
During this period, the producer sent by Disney also supported Sammy.
It's just that he was very puzzled about one thing: "I'm sorry, can you tell me what the special effects company you're looking for, what the Claw Root Treasure Company is? I've never heard of this company in Hollywood. , do they really have technology?"
Sammy wants to make up a lie to fool people.
But in the end, he was obedient and told the truth: "This is a company with real dragons and real monsters. They don't need technology to shock the audience to death."
Mr. Producer looked over with a blank expression.
Then, he seems to be sneering: [It's humorous, but do I look like a liar retard? ]
Sammy shrugged helplessly.
The world is like this, the truth will never be believed.
