Chapter 86: test shot

In the single-family apartment that has filmed two "Saw" in succession, it is also one of the most famous haunted houses in North America. The shooting scenes, lighting, props, etc. have been arranged.

In fact, except for the lighting and camera positions, the entire apartment has not changed much and still retains its original appearance.

Ryan is sitting behind the ARRI 35MM camera, which feels slightly different from the Panasonic 35MM camera, which can be felt from the inside of the lens, which is obviously clearer.

At the same time, Little Scarlett-Johnson was holding a finely crafted wooden box in her arms, with almost no cracks, and kept walking around.

Occasionally, she would look to the second floor, revealing a trace of curiosity, obviously she still remembered the murder scene.

The box she holds in her arms is naturally the dead soul box in the film, but it is not a real box, but is processed from a whole piece of wood. It looks like a box on the outside, but in fact it cannot be opened at all. open.

Of course there is an identical box that can be opened.

In contrast, Natalie Portman was much more serious, holding a script in both hands, sitting quietly on a corner chair, chanting words.

Kevin Bacon and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are speaking to each other and talking for a while from time to time.

Obviously, the crew hasn't officially filmed yet, it's just a test shoot before filming.

Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Ryan began to let people clear the scene, leaving Scarlett Johansson as the only actor to start trial shooting.

There is naturally a reason for leaving little Scarlett Johansson alone. Kevin Bacon and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are both experienced actors, so there is no need to worry.

Only little Scarlett Johansson is not only very young, but also does not have a lot of shooting experience. The most important point is that her youngest daughter, Em, is the most critical role in the film, and all the plots revolve around her. Expand.

The next moment, little Scarlett-Johnson quickly entered the state, wearing a very large pajamas, walked slowly in front of the bathroom mirror, looked blankly at her hands, suddenly retched, then took out a flashlight, and pointed it down her throat according to go.

"OK!" Ryan waved his hand to show little Scarlett-Johnson could stop, and turned off the camera at the same time.

"The condition is very good, keep it up." Ryan gave her a positive look.

He's not encouraging little Scarlett Johansson, just telling the truth.

Although I don't know how the actor who played the younger daughter Em in the previous life performed on the set, but Scarlett Johansson's performance just now fits the role very well.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this test shoot is perfect. Ryan quickly pointed out a problem, saying: "The style of pajamas is too old, change to the latest style."

"Remember, the fabric should not be too sheer."

The actor who played the younger daughter Em in the previous life was wearing pajamas, the style was also not very good, but it was still a little transparent.

Let a little girl less than ten years old wear a somewhat transparent pajamas, I really don't know what the director of the film thinks.

Anyway, he didn't want to be targeted by child protection organizations.

Next, Ryan pointed out some areas for improvement.

"How is the connection with Industrial Light and Magic?"

There are not many shots that require special effects in the film, and there are no big scenes.

But there are still some special effects shots, such as fingers protruding from the throat, moths, etc.

"I think the price of Industrial Light and Magic is too expensive. It is better to choose the digital field. Their technology in special effects is not much worse than that of Industrial Light and Magic, and the price can be lower." Lei Sancheni put forward her own suggestion.

In the digital field, it was also a well-known special effects company in Hollywood in its previous life. It was established in 1993 with two founders.

One of them is James Cameron, one of the famous Hollywood directors, and the other Stan Winston is also a well-known Hollywood figure.

In less than a year since its establishment, the digital field has already taken over, such as "Apollo 13", "The Vampire Chronicles", "Night Colors", "True Lies", etc., the special effects shots in the film are fully Demonstrate the existence of Hollywood second only to Industrial Light and Magic.

Ryan raised his eyebrows, refused without hesitation, and said, "Digital Field is just a new company. In comparison, I believe in the strength of Industrial Light & Magic even though the cost will be higher."

Seeing this, Lei-Sancheni did not continue to speak out in the end. She knew why Ryan chose Industrial Light and Magic instead of the cheap digital field.

Industrial Light & Magic is a special effects company under Lucasfilm, and the boss of Lucasfilm is George Lucas.

Ryan's first film "The Blair Witch" was recommended by George Lucas to 20th Century Fox.

This is not counting the relationship between Helen, Sophia and George Lucas.

Ryan checked the time and told everyone to leave, including several actors, to take a break.

Several actors, as well as some crew members, began to pack their belongings and leave, and Ryan was also preparing to leave.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he encountered a dumbfounding scene.

"Scarlett!" Natalie Portman stared fiercely, looked at the innocent little Scarlett Johansson, gritted her teeth and said, "Did you know that there was a murder on the second floor?" case!"

Little Scarlett Johansson just let her stay alone on the second floor for a while, until someone from the crew came up to remind her~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She didn't know that this is a haunted house, and the place where the murder happened , which was the room she was in.

"No."

Little Scarlett-Johnson denied it outright, and said, "You said it yourself. You want to find a quiet place to recite your lines."

"Then let me go to the room on the second floor alone!" Natalie Portman seemed completely irritated, and said, "I must tell Helen, let her hire you a tutor."

"How dare you!" Little Scarlett Johansson pointed at Natalie Portman like a lion cub and said in a threatening tone, "Then I'll tell Helen that someone not only He drank secretly and smoked in hiding for a long time."

"In that case, Helen will definitely send you back to New York."

"No, it's better to send you to Israel so you never have to come back."

Natalie Portman was so angry that she pointed to little Scarlett Johansson without saying a word for a long time, "You actually spy on me!"

"It's despicable."

Little Scarlett-Johnson said proudly, "It was you who were too careless, so you can't blame me."

The conversation between the two made Ryan speechless for a while, and no one could be relieved.

One lied to people to go to the murder scene on the second floor, and also peeped at the privacy, and the other not only secretly drank, but also smoked in hiding.

"I will tell Helen exactly what you had just said." Ryan walked out with a blank expression.

The sudden appearance of the voice scared the two of them to death. When it was clear that Ryan had come out, their faces turned pale. One could imagine how Helen would react when she knew about this!
