Chapter 87: start up

The morning sunshine in Los Angeles is very mild, and it feels a little warm on the face.

Ryan got up from the bed a little tired, went to the bathroom and began to brush his teeth and wash. If you look closely, you can clearly see a big dark circle.

This is not an over-indulgence, Monica Bellucci is far away in the British crew, he can at most make a phone call to say hello.

The main reason is that I have suffered from insomnia in the past few days, or that the quality of sleep is not good. In addition, I have not had a good rest during this period of time, which is why I became like this.

"I hope the fitness trainer Helen contacted is more reliable." Ryan looked at the face in the mirror, somewhat pale, and he knew that he lacked exercise.

This can be regarded as a common problem of directors, who can only strengthen physical exercise.

After a simple breakfast, according to the agreement last night, I drove to the Star Brokerage Company, went up to the second floor, and walked into Helen's office.

"I'm very sorry about what happened yesterday." Helen looked at Ryan with a hint of apology, "I've asked someone to invite two tutors over here, and I'll teach them two specifically."

What happened yesterday naturally refers to little Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, the two little guys.

Regarding this, Helen was very speechless, but she didn't have much time to discipline, so she could only hire tutors.

"It doesn't matter."

"However, you'd better arrange for them to transfer here."

Ryan is very clear about what most American underage girls are like. As long as there is no marijuana, promiscuous sex, everything else is a minor problem.

What's more, it is only a very common thing for Hollywood actresses to smoke marijuana and have promiscuous sex.

"I need to discuss the school transfer with their parents." Helen suddenly felt a headache. Little Scarlett Johansson's parents, luckily, should agree to transfer.

But Natalie-Portman's parents, I'm afraid there is some trouble.

She didn't continue to discuss this topic. She simply packed up her belongings and said, "I contacted a fitness trainer for you. He used to be an active military officer and just retired last year."

"A retired military officer?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"That's right."

Helen took off her high heels without hesitation, put on a pair of comfortable flat shoes, and said, "According to his requirements, you need at least one hour of exercise every day to maintain a normal body."

One hour!

Ryan frowned slightly, but finally agreed, and said, "The way!"

"Running, boxing or something!"

"In terms of specifics, he will personally explain to you in detail." Helen put away her high heels and said, "This afternoon, we can make an appointment to meet."

"Okay." Ryan nodded and agreed.

Next, the two had a brief talk about the shooting plan of "The Evil Invasion".

In the afternoon, Ryan went to meet the retired military officer's fitness trainer that Helen said.

I have formulated a very detailed fitness plan, which is nothing more than running, skipping rope, etc., as well as paying attention to diet, rest, reducing working hours, and exercising more usually.

For this, he has to pay a monthly fee of 1,500 US dollars.

In the early morning of the next day, Ryan came to the crew, a small launch conference, not many media reporters came, almost all of them were from News Corporation.

"I'm not going to change my style, just horror, and constant horror."

"If I had to change it, I would reduce some **** scenes and increase some horror plots."

Facing the reporter's interview, Ryan answered very frankly, "On Thanksgiving, everyone will see an unprecedented horror movie, and the whole world will be shrouded in horror."

"Director Ryan, can you reveal the specific plot!" A reporter asked loudly.

"Sorry." Ryan refused, "I can't disclose any plot before the movie is released."

After speaking, he indicated that the actors could leave.

In this regard, the following media reporters were very cooperative and did not obstruct too much.

Back in the studio, the crew began to officially shoot, and all the staff had to be busy.

In the middle of the studio, a bedroom was built with the same style as the haunted house Ryan bought. The three cameras were placed in three directions, allowing for shooting without any dead ends. The lighting engineer kept asking Ryan for advice and debugging the background. light intensity.

On the built bedroom bed, the youngest daughter Em, played by Scarlett Johansson Jr., is wearing a long white pajamas, lying on the bed, changing positions from time to time.

The scene to be shot is very simple. She just needs to sit quietly on the bed and read a book. Kevin Bacon, who plays the father, opens the door and walks in, and turns on the light in the room. The whole process is very simple.

The only difficulty will be handed over to Industrial Light and Magic. They will make densely packed moths appear in the footage.

For this reason, the crew specially built this bedroom instead of going to the haunted house to shoot.

Ryan's shooting plan was very simple. First, he gathered some shots that needed special effects processing and sent them to Industrial Light and Magic for special effects processing, and then started shooting ordinary scenes.

In this way, the post-production time of the film can be reduced.

At the same time, around the studio, many actors came to watch. Almost the main actors of the entire crew were there, looking at the built bedroom with curious eyes.

Since the establishment of Industrial Light and Magic in 1975, and George Lucas directed the first "Star Wars" in 1977, the special effects scenes in the film are not so strange.

But for a horror film, special effects shots are still very rare, including many actors and crew members, have never seen special effects production.

Natalie Portman also came over, folded her arms and stared at little Scarlett Johansson, as if she wanted to vent her dissatisfaction.

After a while, she had to leave the studio and go back to the apartment to do homework under the supervision of the tutor.

"The **** idiot."

She has always been among the best in her studies, and she gets A's in all subjects. If it weren't for Scarlett Johansson's meddling, she wouldn't have hired any tutors.

"If the background lighting is darker, you don't need to see the face clearly, you can clearly see the outline of the actor."

After looking at the background light, Ryan felt that he was not very satisfied, it was slightly brighter.

"Makeup artist, touch up little Jiali's makeup again. Remember, she is playing the role of a little girl. She doesn't need heavy makeup, just lighten it."

"Costume designer, change her into a pajamas, this silk pajamas are too see-through, not suitable for her age group."

"Kevin~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You have to be a little bit shocked later."

"Little Jiali, just keep calm, it's best not to show any expression."

Ryan continued to direct the crew to make changes, and everything seemed orderly. Even Ray Sancheni had to admit that he was more proficient than some directors who had been famous for many years.

As everyone knows, in his previous life, Ryan had to shoot at least four or five films a year, and more time, an average of one and a half months, to shoot one film.

For the scene in front of him, he has long been familiar with it and can no longer be familiar with it.

Even, it can surpass most Hollywood directors.

On the contrary, Helen, who is an agent, looked very calm. She had long seen Ryan's director skills that did not match her age.

However, she has been a little worried recently that Ryan will face a failed transition and have to direct horror movies again.

A horror film director, even if he has become the top horror film director in Hollywood, is still far behind mainstream commercial directors in terms of commercial value.

As for art, or awards!

She is very clear that even "The Truman Show", which she collaborated with Touchstone, still retains the characteristics of a commercial film.

Ryan never wanted to be an art director.

In his view, only the box office is everything, and art is only a derivative product of a few people.

At this moment, Helen walked up to Natalie Portman and said, "You should go back."

Hearing this, Natalie Portman gave Scarlett Johansson, who was putting on makeup, a hard look not far away. She agreed with a dissatisfied face, turned around and walked out of the studio, there will be a new driver Take her back to the apartment.

"Scarlett, that damned idiot, she must be taught the lesson she deserves."
