729 - Opening

As Wayne sat in the director's position, the shooting scene began to gradually become quiet, and everyone accelerated the movements in his hands. In fact, even if he did nothing, he firmly attracted the attention of all staff members. This is the influence of a successful crew leader.

"Hey, Matt, Angie, e."

Waves at the male and female protagonists, and after both of them got together as the director, Wayne took advantage of the gap before the filming to make his last reminder.

"Matt, play your body well. I just observed the waves. You may feel a little uncomfortable lying inside, but if you don't want to be choked by the sea frequently, try not to make mistakes and take this simple shot over quickly. OK?"

Although it was the first time to cooperate with the other party, Matt Damon was fully prepared. He nodded without hesitation when he heard the other party's advice.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his male lead, Wayne turned to look at Angelina Jolie, thought for a while before speaking: "If you follow my work habits, you usually like to put particularly difficult scenes to the beginning. But this time it is different, Anji, you should understand why I arranged this simple scene."

“Yes,I Know.”

With a crisp promise, Angelina Jolie was full of confidence. I am afraid that only God knew how much preparations she made and how much sin she suffered for this day.

Seeing that both of them were in good spirits, Wayne waved his hand. "Okay, go and prepare, we'll start shooting right away."

In fact, it is not difficult to start filming this opening scene. The male lead Steve, played by Matt Damon, accidentally broke into Amazon Paradise Island while being chased.

Then he was rescued by the heroine Diana Prince. In the setting of the film's background, this is the first time Diana Prince has seen a real man since she was a child.

This shot is actually difficult at all. As long as the heroine's emotions are in place, there is no difficulty for professional actors. The reason why this simple scene is arranged is because of the attributes of this movie. It can be said that most of the shots in the whole film will follow the heroine, so Angelina Jolie must get into the state as soon as possible.

On the other hand, around the beach, those reporters from dozens of media outlets could not have been able to make his first scenes frequently in front of everyone. Even if it was just to get a good start, he wanted to complete the planned shooting plan smoothly on the first day.

As for the long war scene between the heroine and the pursuers on Paradise Island after she saved the humans, he was not ready to film it today.

The characters on the first day of the startup are very simple, there are only a few scenes of people saving people on the beach.

The scene became quiet very quickly. In less than five minutes, hundreds of people looked at each other in the direction sitting behind the director's monitor.

Wayne slowly walked out from behind the director's monitor with a loudspeaker in his hand. He finally checked carefully. Matt Damon, who was surrounded by six cameras with different high and low angles, briefly communicated with the lighting supervisor, and finally nodded to Gilmore.

"Wonder Woman, the first scene, the first act..."

The Record of the Field was prompted by the assistant director, and raised the Record of the Record of the Record in his hand and placed it in front of the camera camera. At the same time, except for the sound of the waves, the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record. "Now, start."

With a "bang", as the field recorder was knocked down, the male protagonist, surrounded by multiple cameras, lay motionless on the beach with the surging waves.

The whole process lasted for up to three or four seconds. Wayne, who was standing close to watch, simply shouted to the loudspeaker: "cut." Then he dispersed around the male protagonist's camera.

This is just the beginning of a cutscene, mainly to give the male protagonist a simple close-up and introduce his situation.

Without any rest, the camera team quickly retreated to the reserved camera, and everyone looked at Angelina Jolie. Until she walked to the male lead, the recorder kicked off the recorder board in her hand again.

There is no doubt that this is a mature behind-the-scenes team. From several cameramen and lighting engineers in the camera team to small field notes, they all instantly entered the working state.

This is also the benefit of the mature behind-the-scenes team. They are all familiar with each other and Wayne's working style, so there is no pause at all and they directly start shooting the latter shot.

When Angelina Jolie in front of the camera heard the sound of the scene, she bent down and knelt on the beach, with deep curiosity in her eyes, looking at the man lying on the ground and being rescued by her.

She had sea water on her face and stretched out her right hand to touch the face of this man who was different from her. Before her hand could touch the other person's face, she shrank back due to curiosity.

"Cough, cough..."

Just at this moment, Matt Damon, who was lying on the beach, woke up in time.

“Stop!”

Without giving the two of them any space to perform, Wayne's voice suddenly sounded at the scene. A cameraman who followed the male and female protagonists in and out also took a few steps back at the first time. All the old staff of the crew knew that something that would have made the director dissatisfied.

"Hey, Miss Julie, listen!"

Everyone around them, as if they had not seen the director's actions, lowered their heads to sort out the work in their hands. Only the male and female protagonists were left, all with confusion on their faces, looking at the ice-filled face while walking towards them, while speaking coldly without any emotion.

"Who told me it's okay? You just dragged this man back from the sea, OK? Put away your relaxed freehand paintings, what I need is your state after strong exercise!

Do you need me to teach you what the state after exercise is? Your heart beats faster, your breathing is slightly heavier, and combined with the curiosity of seeing a man for the first time. Your eyes, I need you to use your eyes to express your emotions!”

Facing Wayne who was completely different from usual, whether it was the reprimanded Angelina Jolie or the innocent Matt Damon, he felt a little confused in time and space for a while.

Fortunately, the woman reacted very quickly, like a primary school student who made a mistake, nodding wildly without hesitation.

"Give them makeup, reset them all, do it again!"

With a slight frown, Wayne waved to the surroundings and turned to walk out of the center of the camera. Sometimes this is the case for actors. You have to allow them to make the stupidest mistakes, but you have to give a full warning when you make the first mistake. This must never be the norm.

"Don't worry, as long as the crew enters the running state, the boss will become like this."

The makeup artist Lily helped Angelina Jolie to sort out her clothes. Seeing the two male and female protagonists, there was a hint of surprise on her face, she shrugged and explained.

Matt Damon turned his head gently and looked at Wayne's direction in secludedly. "I thought I had seen a robot just now..."

Lily laughed in a low voice. "It's like ice without emotion."

"That's right!" Angelina Jolie nodded wildly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Give you some advice, Miss Julie."

Seeing that no one was paying attention, makeup artist Lily thought about it, looked at Angelina Jolie's big eyes and whispered: "In the crew, don't try to talk to the boss. As long as the work starts, there will be no favors for him. The most important point is that during the shooting, you must not touch things like leaf cigarettes, definitely!"

He nodded silently, and the male and female protagonists looked in the direction where the director was, both showing a thoughtful look.

The crew fell into silence again. The second time this shot started shooting. With the prompt just now, Angelina Jolie put away her casual emotions, and her performance this time was much more normal.

"Cough, cough..."

A camera is like the perspective of the hero, and continues to give Angelina Jolie a close-up. Matt Damon woke up with a cough and looked at his face in the sun, and spoke. "Wow."

Angelina Jolie seemed to have discovered a new world, her eyes filled with surprise. "You are a man?"

"yes, don't I look like it?" Looking at the beautiful face in front of me, Matt Damon answered with some difficulty. His head swayed left and right, and subconsciously asked, "Where are we now?"

"Paradise Island."

“What?”

"Who are you...?"

Angelina Jolie just asked who you were, and they turned their heads together and turned their eyes to the sea, as if there were really a large group of pursuers.

“cut!”

Wayne's voice rang out at the right time, and the two actors and all the staff behind the scenes were involuntarily looking at the director.

“It was great, this one.”

First, they praised without hesitation, but the staff around them did not show any happy expressions. They knew too well that if they hadn't called it directly, they would definitely continue to repeat the film.

Sure enough, Wayne's words then rang. He leaned over to the two actors, stretched out a finger, and pointed at Angelina Jolie's lips. "Smile, Angie, smile. The camera keeps giving you a close-up, and the smile is more brilliant.

You found a man you had never seen before, acted a little happier, and your beautiful lips were your advantage, reflecting them, OK?"

"Ok, I understand."

Until Wayne nodded and turned and left again, the two makeup artists immediately surrounded him and urgently put on makeup for the male and female protagonists.

After not returning to the director's monitor, he still put his arms around his chest as usual, standing outside the camera, watching the staff prepare.

After watching the filming twice, the assistant director Gilmore slowly approached Wayne, and also looked at the scene of preparation and whispered: "Boss, I have found something here..."

"If you have any ideas, just agree." He glanced at his deputy director and saw a hint of hesitation on the other party's face, he encouraged.

"Angelina Jolie is beautiful in the camera, the kind of healthy, upward, and sexy beauty of sunshine, but..." Gilmo slowly organized the language, observing Wayne's face, and said: "It's just that her figure seems to be a bit too hot, especially in close-up shots, the popularity is far beyond my imagination. Should I cover it up with makeup and lights..."

"This is not a bad thing, Gilmore."

Smiling and shook his head, Wayne explained softly. "This is her advantage. What we have to do is to find a way to amplify this advantage. I hope that when the film is released, men in North America and even the world will be crazy about her screen image."

Hearing this explanation, Gilmo shrugged and said nothing more.

Obviously, neither Wayne nor Warner Brothers think that the Wonder Woman with a hot body is a flaw. Even in real life, even a fool understands that a woman with thin waists and long legs, delicate skin and beautiful face, and extremely majestic chests cannot become a fighting expert at all.

After all, movies are movies. In some places, there is no way to follow the facts. If the image of Wonder Woman on the big screen is a fierce woman who is as thick as a whole, then she respects the laws of physics, but who can watch it?

Wayne crossed his arms against his chest, muttering to himself as he watched the third shot that started again. "Sexy, never a bad thing..."

In his memory, DC has been fighting against all Marvel superheroes with the film "Wonder Woman". The result is that the long-legged Israeli actor became the most sought-after female superhero in Hollywood in those years.

Although countless people licked Gal Gadot, no matter whether it was the beginning of the film preparation or after the film achieved good results, a voice still existed, that is, Gal Gadot is beautiful, but not sexy enough.

For the character Diana Prince, the most classic one is always the "first generation of Wonder Woman" Linda Carter. This kind of call is not unreasonable. Linda Carter's figure is very popular, and coupled with the retro blue and red clothes, the hot figure that is like a bomb is fully reflected.

In the end, even Warner Bros. could not ignore the voices of movie fans and decided to invite Linda Carter to star in "Wonder Woman 3" again, allowing the two generations of the most classic Diana Prince to appear on the big screen.

Therefore, the hot and sexy figure is not a shortcoming in this role, but an image that most viewers recognize.

Of course, no one can deny the image of Gal Gadot. She does not have such a hot figure, but this is from Miss Universe and the winner of the Miss Israel Contest. Her figure and appearance are in line with mainstream aesthetics, especially her two long legs, which completely make movie fans ignore the small breasts.

It was just a simple scene of "beauty" saving the "male protagonist". The crew went from morning to noon before finally making Wayne nod and shouted.

The male and female protagonists who thought they could handle it easily were all so exhausted that they were tortured and weak. After hearing the notice of rest and lunch, they followed their respective assistants and left the beach for the first time.

Seeing the two of them sitting on the prop box to rest, Wayne walked over with his arms in his arms. "How does it feel? It's much more difficult than I thought?"

Matt Damon shrugged. Now he didn't feel as beautiful as he first saw the sea. He grinned and made a vomiting expression when he heard Wayne's words. "Director Greenberg, can you understand the feeling of lying by the waves for a morning?"

I suggest you experience this feeling for yourself. Damn, I can't remember how many sips of bitter sea water I drank."

Just looking at the other person's expression, Wayne knew that Matt Damon was joking. This actor gave him a very good feeling, at least his professional level was very high. It would be impossible for a normal person to feel comfortable lying on the beach for half a day, but this guy did not show any discomfort during the filming time and time again.

"I'll give you two extra meals in person, how about it?" Shaking his head in a funny way, he reached out and patted Matt Damon on the shoulder.

"never mind."

"don't want."

Unexpectedly, the two protagonists looked at each other and shook their heads without hesitation and refused.

Angelina Jolie curled her lips. "I saw the Chinese food prepared by Nina. That kind of thing is the actor's natural enemy. It takes me to exercise for three days to consume those greasy calories."

Matt Damon nodded deeply, and never think that male actors are different from actresses. Even in terms of body management and control, men have stricter requirements than women.

Women also have the type who are born to eat and not fat. If a male actor wants to make his body look stylish and have obvious muscle profiles, he must follow the nutritionist's advice and strictly control his mouth. He must also insist on exercise and fitness and shaping.

In this circle, it is difficult to take shortcuts if you want to succeed, especially those little people with no background. You should know that Hollywood has never been popular with delicate beauty men. That type is not the aesthetic point of European and American women at all. Only Guy will like weak beauty men.

"Okay, hurry up and rest. Our shooting plan today is only this continuous shot." Since the two of them don't like Chinese food, Wayne did not force it. Before leaving, he instructed: "If you want to finish work in the afternoon early, find the tacit understanding between you as soon as possible and find your best performance state."

Everyone slowly spread out and had lunch. After observing the status of the male and female protagonists, he also returned to his director's trailer to enjoy the Chinese food that Nina specially found. Well, it's just not so authentic.

In fact, the reason why Wayne's requirements for today's relatively simple scenes is to find the status of the actors and crew.

As he said, the shots on the first day were easy, and he needed to make the huge crew enter a good working state from the beginning through relatively simple work.

It doesn't take too long. From tomorrow on, a large-scale action scene will be taken on the beach. The war between Paradise Island and the pursuers, and the collision between cold weapons and hot weapons.

Of course, this action scene involving many characters is under great pressure for Wayne himself. So in order for the subsequent shooting to be smooth, he moved this important scene directly to the front to shoot, which also has the meaning of practice.

"Jimmy and Christopher Rokencourt signed a financing agreement this morning, and the money has entered a specially established studio account." Taking advantage of Wayne's head down to eat, Nina opened her work discipline book and began to report one by one.

"Bruce Rosenblum called and explained that Los Angeles was hyping Michael Bay's remarks, and Warner Bros. and Walt Disney, were pushing secretly together. Such public opinion is very beneficial to both companies. Basically, the film's name has spread throughout North America before the film was completed."

Seeing that her boss had no words and just buried his head in dealing with a box of red beef with chopsticks, she pushed the glasses on her face and continued to report in a low voice.

"The filming of "Quick Chase" will start before this weekend at the latest. Director Wolfgang Peterson called and asked if you have time to show off at the press conference..."

"Damn it, this is not what boiled beef is done!"

Just as Nina was waiting for Wayne's answer, he didn't expect that he was left with chopsticks in anger, pointed to the red beef in the lunch box, and complained impatiently: "My tongue has failed. I didn't taste any other flavors here except chili. Dog shit, Nina, the Chinese restaurant you are looking for is not opened by Mexicans, right?!"

"Who knows?" The assistant lady raised her eyebrows. "I tasted it and it felt pretty good. Director of "Quick Chase"..."

"It is impossible for us to return to North America early before the filming in Italy ends."

Wave to Nina, Wayne lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and didn't even look at the lunch on the table. His mood, which was originally pretty good today, was ruined by this unpleasant lunch.

After thinking about it, he still looked at the assistant lady and reminded: "There may be multiple projects starting recently. Not only "Quick Chase", but I'm afraid we don't have time to rush back when "King Kong" is on. You say hello to Roland Emmerich in advance."

"Okay, I get it."
