Chapter four hundred and eighty second stay away
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
In a small studio nearest to the south of the warehouse, as the 19 extras took their place one after another, Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz, dressed in decent suits, sat at the double dining table in front of the green screen. They were dressed in retro style, looking quite handsome and full of passion.
Especially Christopher Walz, even if he sat there and said nothing, Murphy looked through the camera and felt that he was full of drama.
Although evaluating acting is a very subjective thing, he has to admit that if Christopher Walz and Robert Downey Jr. perform normally, the latter is difficult to compare with the former.
However, acting is only part of the charm of celebrities or even actors.
Seeing the actor in place, Murphy raised his hand from behind the camera and signaled the scene.
"Scene 219, Act 22." The recorder placed the recorder in front of the camera lens, "Start now!"
As the sound of "start" sounded, the crew immediately began to tell the operation.
"Mr. Hanna, you can take drugs during the day..." Robert Downey Jr. had both curiosity and humility on his face, "Can you still maintain your work?"
"Or else there is another way to do this job?" Christopher Valz shrugged. "My friend, if you want to work properly, of course you need Gu Ke and Prostitute."
"Yes." Robert Downey Jr. could only smile, "I must say that I am very excited to be a member of this company. All the customers of the company..."
"Go to his client!"
Before Robert Downey Jr. finished speaking, he was interrupted by Christopher Walz. "The clients are all idiots!"
He shook his head, "The only thing we have to do is to take the customer's money out of our pockets and put it in our pockets."
"If you allow customers to make money at the same time..." Robert Downey Jr. seemed naive, both people and what he said, and the crew deliberately made him look much younger by putting on makeup. "Then everyone can make a profit, right?"
"Wrong!" Christopher Walz completely rejected Robert Downey Jr.'s statement. "The first rule on Wall Street is that no one, even if you are Warren Buffett and Jimmy Buffett. No one knows whether this stock is going to rise or fall, whether it is going to go sideways or turn around, at least all stock brokers are like this, these are all fake."
The camera controlled by Murphy is always shooting the scene between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz in panoramic shooting.
"Ok!" he stood up from behind the camera and shouted, "Donny, Chris, did a good job!"
Robert Downey Jr. immediately made a victory sign on him.
Before he could put his hand down, Murphy said loudly again, "But not good enough! I need the performance of you two to be more explosive."
Murphy no longer cared about these two people. As a director, he made more demands and then let the actors complete it. With the abilities of Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz, he could do better.
He left behind the camera and returned to his director monitor and said to Filey Rasher, who had just sat here instead of him. "Rearrange the camera and shoot the camera with the front and back shots to shoot this conversation."
Filey Raschel nodded, handed over the director position to Murphy, returned to his crew, and began to arrange a camera on the left side of Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz, who were sitting opposite each other, and capture the cameras in close-up form.
The shooting began soon, with the No. 1 being responsible for capturing Robert Downey Jr. and the No. 2 being responsible for shooting Christopher Walz. Later, through some simple editing, you can get the front and back shots that often appear in the dialogue between characters in the movie.
In order to avoid showing off skills, Murphy used the simplest forward and reverse camera shooting, using only two cameras. According to the axis principle, both cameras were arranged on the same side of the 180-degree line by Filey Raschel, and each camera was aimed at an actor, so that the shooting could not affect each other.
During the shooting, Murphy also asked Filey Raschel to use basically the overshoulder lens. The previous shot prompted the existence of the protagonist Jordan Belfort, and the next shot can be turned to Christopher Walz's overshoulder lens as a reaction shot, and it can also make Christopher Walz's scene smaller.
In this way, by using at least two cameras to shoot the same performance, Murphy can freely choose the editing points when editing in the later stages, which also makes the film feel better.
The shooting of the front and back camera is not very clever, but it has been proven by countless films to be the most effective way to maintain rhythm during dialogue. For example, the scenes of the conversation between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz shot by Murphy, which is very intensive, will seriously slow down the pace of the movie, and the quick switching of the shooting of the front and back camera can save it.
This shooting technique has a long history and has not been used as a style strategy in the first 15 years of film production; what was popular during that period was the so-called character scene style, using a single shot to express the entire scene.
By the late 1910s, it had become common in American feature films, and shortly after that, the forward and reverse editing was adopted by the whole world.
After editing such a shot, it will give the audience a sense of continuous video, as if it happened with the real timeline.
In the words of Robert Downey Jr., "Wolf of Wall Street" is a crazy movie. The meeting between him played Jordan Belfort and Mark Hannah played by Christopher Walz can be said to be the top priority of the opening scene. Murphy deliberately placed the role on both sides of the camera to keep the dialogue flowing.
In the following shooting, Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz performed well, but Murphy was still not satisfied with the shots he got.
So, Murphy made some changes during the shooting. In the initial stage of the shooting, he gave Christopher Walz a very wide shot, explaining the surrounding environment, and then waited for Christopher Walz's first line to end, the lens tilted forward and turned into a close-up shot.
This method can keep the background action while keeping the viewer at the same distance as Jordan Belfort as Christopher Waltz to keep the conversation private in the shot.
Shooting is always like this. It is impossible to follow the pre-planning of everything. There are some things that cannot be considered. Murphy always encounters some situations that exceed the plan every time he shoots. This requires him and the entire team to respond in time and achieve the ultimate goal at the least cost.
Sometimes, in order to achieve shooting goals, there may be more than expected consumption in terms of time and money.
However, after years of directing, Murphy has accumulated rich experience and established a high reputation and prestige. He has always had a good reputation in terms of capital consumption. He is also a director who is very willing to cooperate with by a third-party guarantee company.
Everyone in Hollywood knows that cooperating with Murphy Stanton is a very reliable thing. On the internal list of major Hollywood companies, Murphy is also at the top of the green class.
This green class is divided within Hollywood production companies, mainly based on the box office results achieved by a director in two to three films in the past five years. Only directors who can bring high commercial profits in succession will be divided into the green class by them.
Directors like Murphy, who have a global box office of over one billion dollars and can basically achieve a box office of five times the box office of other films, are naturally the best among them.
But although his classification level is very high, there are not many production companies invited to cooperate with. Murphy's high pay and dividends will also discourage many people.
Stanton Studio's cooperation with 20th Century Fox has always been very pleasant. To put it in a sentence when Murphy was on the other side of the Pacific, Shuangfa established a relatively strong strategic cooperative relationship.
After four filming, the dialogue between Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Walz was finally recognized by Murphy, and the filming of the entire film ended.
After the filming was announced, Murphy temporarily handed over the crew to Gal Gadot, and took Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill out of the warehouse set and accepted an interview with a media reporter invited by 20th Century Fox.
The end of the filming not only means that the post-production will begin in full swing, but also marks that the film's promotion will become increasingly powerful.
Facing media reporters, Murphy and the other three talked about their feelings about the shooting one by one.
"The most difficult thing is the lines. I have never encountered such a long monologue in my life. There is a whole four pages of paper. Murphy wrote it really well!"
People like Robert Downey Jr., whether they are chatting or interviewing, will never be short of words. "That kind of emotional ups and downs are like bungee jumping. I really feel like I'm going to vomit. I should have delivered passionate speeches in front of many people, but in the end my throat seemed to be blocked."
"I'm still nervous about filming. Being a director is a terrible and wonderful thing." Compared to Robert Downey Jr., Murphy just said a few simple words, "but I enjoy this feeling, especially being able to work with my friends."
Jonah Hill faced this interview with a rare seriousness, "I love different types of films, and I like to show my comedy side, but acting in "Wolf of Wall Street" is simply the best opportunity in the world, and it is basically the truest one. In fact, there are many passages in the film that you can put in comedy films."
