The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 102 Mercenary

Edward Grau stood in front of the viewfinder, glanced absently, and said perfunctorily, “No problem.”

Alex Vera Graça has been busy for 45 minutes for such a light effect. Seeing Edward’s perfunctory reply, he suddenly smashed the microphone sponge in his hand with dissatisfaction, “Stupid/pig, if If you continue to distract, I will just kick your ass! After the lighter is on, can you see the expression on your face clearly?”

According to the design, after Paul woke up in the coffin, the first light source used was a lighter. Generally speaking, the lighting space of a lighter is very limited, especially in absolute darkness; but this is for filming. The lack of bright light will not only affect the viewing effect, but also affect the performance of the actors. “Buried alive” is not ” “The Witch Black” attempts to create a sense of reality. It needs enough light sources to show the details of the performance.

Therefore, Alex is in charge of visual special effects, sound and lighting are his scope of authority. He is adjusting the flame size of the lighter, testing the brightness of the light source, and using the hidden reflector to achieve the effect of concentrating the light; Edward is the photographer Teacher, he must detect the effect from the perspective of photography.

Edward retracted his gaze, focused his attention on the viewfinder, and then switched to two different angles to show his professionalism, “No problem. However, the angle of the reflector needs to be changed when it is close-up. Adjust it and shoot from the side, the lens can see the reflector.”

Alex also went to the viewfinder and changed the angle to confirm it. Standing up straight, Alex saw Edward’s eyes drifting to the side again, and he was also helpless, “Why are you? We are just temporary mercenaries, just cooperating on a work. He is It is estimated that the British will not come to Spain to film in the future, and we will have no intersection in the future.”

Not far away, Lan Li sat quietly on top of a pile of wood, lowered his head and read the script carefully. His habit of reading scripts is very strange. He is not reciting the lines or browsing the plot. He always keeps his eyes on one page of the script. At first glance, he thinks he is distracted. He is not reading the script at all. Perceived that he was reading the same paragraph over and over again, and then fell into deep thought, as if fighting a war between himself and himself.

Saying that it sounds good is devotion, and that it sounds bad is nerves.

“Do you think he is pretentious, or is he real?” After all, Edward did not hold back, lowering his voice and discussing with Alex. However, before Alex could answer, Edward said directly, “I think he must be putting on airs. He seems to have graduated from high school at most. How could he have any strength? I really don’t know what Rodriguez is and how he chooses. For such an actor, could it be said that he slept with Rodriguez?”

Facing Edward’s provocation, Alex knew that he was still caring about the embarrassment just now—Edward was the big curly boy just now.

In fact, Edward’s joke itself is nothing. If it is the face-to-face ridicule between men, it will be more ugly and uglier, and it will not only not destroy the relationship, but will become their talk; but if it is behind the scenes. The bad words were exposed on the spot. The ugliness and shame really made people unable to get off the stage.

No one expected that Lanly’s Spanish was so good, it was like cursing people in Chinese abroad, and suddenly found that the other party’s Chinese was as slippery as his own. That would be really embarrassing.

Edward was a little embarrassed into anger, but Alex did not want to be involved in this muddy water.

“Buried alive” there are only eight people in the entire crew, a cameraman, a special effects artist, an assistant director, a make-up artist, a clerk, and then a director, a screenwriter, and an actor. , There are only eight people. Except for the three core creators, Alex and Edward are just mercenaries. They are not professionals with a great reputation, they are just marginal people who have researched themselves.

As he said, they were hired to shoot “buried alive” for this work. After shooting, they went their separate ways. There was no need to care about it.

“We’re going to shoot soon, and we can know the result, right? Is he an embroidered pillow or a valuable antique.” Alex shrugged and said nonchalantly.

To be honest, aside from Edward’s personal grievances, Alex is actually a little curious as to what is the origin of this Lan Li-Hall.

Objectively speaking, Lan Li does not look like a high school student at all. He has his beard at this time, and his neatly trimmed scum adds a touch of vicissitudes and maturity. The golden brown curly hair that has not been deliberately taken care of is slightly messy and looks It seems that I haven’t washed my hair for a day or two, and my hair is a little greasy, sloppy and embarrassed. The only thing that is not harmonious is his eyes. The bright and star-like eyes are shining with vigor and vitality. The brilliance of the flower bones blooming in an instant is definitely not 30 years old, but if he is 25 or 6 years old, Ai Lex was willing to believe it.

But even so, it is definitely not an easy task to play the role of Paul Conroy.

He looks… he doesn’t seem to have any aggressiveness. It’s not that it’s bad, but that he lacks some of the unstoppable spirit of the actors-of course, the moment of understatement against Edward is an exception.

After saying hello, he didn’t continue to chase and pursue Edward’s fault; but he didn’t use the momentum to resolve the embarrassment with them, and instead sat down alone to study the script. The staff was preparing for the shooting. An hour passed in a blink of an eye. He sat there for an hour without being disturbed by the surrounding atmosphere or moving his position at all. Is this surely not a symptom of autism? ?

Edward couldn’t predict what would happen after Lan Li went into the filming, nor could he predict what the performance would look like when Lan Li was cast. Deep down in his heart, he also had a faint expectation.

“Hmph, then wait and see.” Edward curled his lips, wanted to say something, and said something cruel, but after all he shut up, turned his head, and murmured and hurried away.

Adriana Guerra stood in front of Lan Li and waved her hand politely, trying to attract Lan Li’s attention, but failed. Lan Li still focused on looking at the script in her hand, as if she didn’t realize that there was someone in front of her. She had to shout, “Sir, sir?”

Lan Li just raised his head, his eyes swept a little dazedly, and a little bit slowly focused on Adriana, with puzzlement in his eyes. Adriana raised the makeup bag in her hand, “I’m here to do makeup for you. We need to cover your handsome cheeks.” She joked in a joking tone.

Lan Li raised the script in his hand, “I will pay attention to reading the script, and it will not affect your work.” After that, Lan Li sat upright, lifted the script a little bit, and stretched it farther. You can show your face and continue reading the script.

Adriana was stunned, her jokes actually fell through, which made her a little confused, she could only pick up her emotions, and she also started to get busy and devoted herself to the makeup work.

Paul Conroy’s makeup is actually not difficult, because this is not a beauty makeup, but a makeup that is as close to real life as possible, truly showing the makeup of Lan Li’s original face; or more accurately, it is dirty Makeup, showing that Paul was embarrassed, sweaty, and even greasy makeup after being kidnapped.

Adriana finished her work very quickly, she said kindly, “It’s finished, you can now take the shot!”

Lan Li raised the hand of the script and put it down. He nodded and made an “OK” gesture, and gave Adriana a small smile, “Thank you, thank you.”

The faintly warm smile warmed Adriana’s heart, and she couldn’t help but replied with a bright smile, “This is my job. I look forward to your next performance very much.” Adriana is positive But she didn’t expect that Lan Li’s attention would shift to the script again It seemed that she had no idea of ​​continuing the conversation, which made her suddenly become embarrassed and her smile stiffened at the corners of her mouth.

Staying in place for a few seconds, Adriana found that Lan Li had no intention of dialogue at all, and her enthusiasm hit the big iceberg-she stood here for so long, let alone admiring eyes, Lan Li didn’t even have the idea of ​​raising her head, and the embarrassment suddenly raged, “So good luck.” Adriana dropped a word, then turned around and left with strides.

After going out for a certain distance, Adriana couldn’t help stopping again, and turned around again to look at it. She found that Lan Li still had no response, she was completely immersed in the script. She could not help but stomped her feet, angrily. Leaving in strides.

Compared with the “Pacific War” crew, the “Buried alive” crew is not only smaller in scale, but the order of the set is also somewhat chaotic. The drama is not familiar with the business, the work efficiency is very low, and the organization and discipline of the mercenaries are very general. . Fortunately, this is a small crew, and there are not many staff and work, otherwise I am afraid it will be even more difficult to imagine.

Lan Li didn’t realize it at all. In just an hour, he had become a target of the crew and was offended inadvertently. Even if he knew it, he didn’t have time to pay attention, because he had to devote himself to the role wholeheartedly. He is not one of those acting masters yet, he can enter the state of acting anytime, anywhere. Before entering the performance, he needs adequate preparation.

“Len Li? Lan Li!” Rodriguez stepped forward, calling for three consecutive times and still didn’t get a response. Finally, he had to shake Lan Li’s sight and the script before he got a response.” It’s time to shoot.”
