Chapter 294 Moscow Red Square
Time rules us relentlessly, whether we are healthy or sick, hungry or drunk, whether Russians, Americans or Martians!
In the huge warehouse of FedEx, Ryan's words went from slow to fast, and his voice became louder and louder, Time is like fire, it can kill and save people, so every FedEx office will have a clock... …”
As he said that, he took a few steps to climb the ladder built on the barbed wire, and pressed the button of the electronic timer, Because we live with time as the center, we can never ignore time, and never allow ourselves to make mistakes. The crime of the concept of time!
Ryan jumped off the ladder, his face full of seriousness, and with the help of the makeup artist, his handsome appearance looked ten years older.
He pointed to the timer on the barbed wire, and said hurriedly, It's 1:56 local time, which means we still have 3 hours and 4 minutes before we can finish today's mail classification!
By now, his words are almost shouting, We only have 3 hours and 4 minutes before the company overseer tries to put us out of a job!
His eyes became sharper and sharper, as if to strengthen his tone, and he kept making various powerful gestures.
Then he saw the little boy in the crowd holding the FedEx mail and walked over in strides, Hey Nikolai, it's great to see you, you just sent your first email.
cut!
Just as Ryan led the little boy to his travel bag, Robert Zemeckis stopped, Ryan, your emotions and expressions. You are still in the state of workaholic just now, you can't use this attitude. Treat one to help your child.
I understand. Robert.
Ryan sighed, rubbed his forehead and sat in the lounge chair on the side, and the Russian extras who were standing listening to his lectures dispersed.
It’s been a few days since I came to Moscow, and it’s been two days since the crew officially started filming. The filming was smooth. It's just that this long shot is a bit of a hassle today.
This is a long shot that is more than five minutes long and uses language, actions, expressions and other behaviors to show the character of the protagonist Chuck. Counting this time, it has been ng seven times, including Ryan's problems and temporary Actor's question.
Long takes, like a one-man show, are often the harder parts of shooting.
Take the hot coffee from George. Ryan took a big sip, even though it was mid-March,
The weather in Moscow can still be described as freezing cold. The warehouse is better. When I went to the Red Square to shoot yesterday, the swish cold wind blew on my face like a knife.
Finish your coffee. Ryan reflected on the performance just now, summed up the experience of causing ng each time, and thought about how to avoid it next time.
For the role of Chuck. Whether it is him or Robert Zemeckis, the requirements are very strict, and no flaws can be tolerated in their eyes. Such a one-man show supported by individual performances can only be improved. to be possible to succeed.
Come on, Ryan!
Robert Zemeckis didn't say much. Including Forrest Gump, this is the second time the two have collaborated. Although the actor in the previous one was Tom Hanks, he was very fond of his young man. Alumni, very confident.
All departments are ready! All departments are ready! The break time came soon, and the assistant director shouted loudly, The second scene, the sixth act, starts now!
This time Ryan didn't make the mistake of the last time, and the expression change was very natural. After giving the gift to the little actor named Nikolai, he opened the long mail with a few strokes, and took out a flashing letter from it. A timer with red numbers was held on his shoulders.
87 hours, 22 minutes and 17 seconds have passed now, which is the time it took to get from Memphis in the US to Nikolai in Russia, 87 hours is a very shameful record! It's just an egg timer! If anything else What? Like a check…”
Ryan walked up to the row of Russian extras, his eyes wide open, like a hair dryer, and he kept spitting violent storms at them.
87 hours is too long. It doesn't take so long to create the world. 87 hours is enough to overthrow a country. In such a long time, it's enough for you to make a fortune and go bankrupt...
great!
Robert Zemeckis stood up from behind the camera, thumbs up, Great, Ryan, that's it, you're starting to feel it.
Thank you, Robert!
Ryan sighed slowly and quickly got rid of the impatient workaholic state, I hope that after the filming of this film, I will not become a workaholic!
The filming of the whole film, as suggested by Ryan, is almost carried out in the order of the development of the story. After reading the complete script, Robert Zemeckis divided the whole filming into three stages. Now the filming is in progress. This is the first stage, most of which will be shot with a handheld camera, with dynamic footage to reflect the fast-paced world of the protagonist Chuck.
Maybe we can use a line from the movie, this stage is a race against time. Robert Zemeckis once said to Ryan.
The warehouse shot ends quickly, and Chapter 299 is around Red Square, just to see the superstar in action.
Although he has not had a good impression of this country in his two lifetimes, Ryan still waved to them from time to time, and occasionally met a few fans' requests for autographs or group photos that were not too excessive.
Of course, the premise of all this is that they will not affect the work progress of the crew.
I didn't expect that a country that was able to compete with the entire Western world back then turned into what it looks like now.
During the break, Julies Stewart was taking pictures of the Lenin Cemetery not far away, and she was speaking with emotion or sarcasm.
She has been here for a long time, and she has dealt with the Russian authorities many times, so she knows what they have become now.
If it's not like this, how can we easily close the Red Square to shoot. Ryan leaned in front of the camera and let Julius and his figure take the picture together.
You know, Ryan. Julis pressed the shutter continuously and said in a low voice, As long as they are willing to pay, those people even dare to sell the country.
Can you find a way? Ryan pinched his chin, obviously playing tricks.
What? Julis didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Ryan walked up to Julis, and only the two of them could hear what he said, Find a way to get two Faberge eggs, money or something is not a problem.
Although he has no interest in things like antiques and art, it should be a good idea to get two to make Nicole and Natalie happy.
God, Ryan. Julis couldn't help but patted his forehead with one hand, That's Russia's national treasure.
If it's embarrassing, forget it. Ryan said indifferently.
I'll try to find a way.
It didn't take long for Ryan to forget about it. He put all his energy into the performance. After all, this is the Red Square, and it is impossible to close it for too long. The crew must hurry up.
In front of the camera, spitting FedEx trucks drove past one after another. The first one had not stopped yet. Ryan opened the door and jumped off. He tightened his thermal cap and red down overalls, and strode away. Got to the back of a stuck van.
He pointed to the clearing in front of the snowdrifts and said urgently, Hurry up! Hurry up! Right here, put the table here, and we'll sort the mail in the van!
Quick, unload, move faster, we are short on time! Ryan instructed, walked to the set table, and patted heavily, Everyone lined up in two lines, one went to the airport, the other went to Moscow. ,quick!
Like a perpetual motion machine that never stops, Ryan quickly walked around to the other side of the table and pointed to the truck opposite, French, Far East, Middle East, Memphis cargo is loaded, and the rest is over there!
After speaking, he looked back at the timer in the little boy's hand, Nikola, hurry up! Let me take a look, there are still four minutes, move faster, hurry up...
Nicholas, tick! Tick! Grab the timer, let's go!
The last shot of the Red Square filming passed smoothly. Perhaps it was the emotion of Chuck played by Ryan, which was transmitted to the crew, or maybe it was because he wanted to leave this cold place earlier and return to his warm hometown. The staff quickly packed up the crew of various equipment.
Their speed and efficiency are almost catching up with Steven Spielberg's dedicated team.
Just as the Russian media are still speculating, whether Ryan's new play will be like Titanic, when it was taken from a real event in his own country, the crew completed all related shooting in just one week. The scene, and then can't wait to leave Moscow and return to North America.
However, the location where the crew arrived was not the City of Angels, but Memphis, the headquarters of FedEx.
Although a lot of media gathered in the Tennessee city, Ryan handed over the matter to the crew's press spokesman, and he didn't want to distract himself during filming.
Here, Ryan also meets another main actor in the film, Chuck's girlfriend, who is played by an acquaintance. ()
