Chapter 338 Reading Comprehension
Alveno Highlands College was established in 1960 as a private won's college affiliated with the Catholic Church.
Even though it is only in its forties, the architectural style of Florence, Italy, has made it a holy place for many movies, such as "Dear Mother" in 1980 and "Infinity" in 1987. "Where to Hide" and "True Lies" in 1994, the buildings full of European classical style in it all ca from here.
In this way, when the production team discovered that the movie "Princess Diaries" needed a diterranean-style school to serve as the Grove High School where the heroine Mia attended school, they accompanied Jas Card as early as 1993. Jon Landau, who had been here before llon, got in touch with the principal of the school again, and by virtue of his acquaintance, he won the authorization for filming.
Not only that, after learning that more than 20 minutes of movie scenes will be fild at the school, the principal also rented three warehouses that had been vacant for a long ti to the crew to store props, renovate and change clothes, so when the crew notified the staff When gathering, Highland College, which has a logistics base and is close to Hollywood, beca the only destination.
Of course, even if the headmaster agrees to the filming crew, it doesn't an that the crew can walk sideways in the school. After all, in this era when students say "one, one, one" will be reported by students. If you don't do it, you can't satisfy the needs of the gangsters. If you want to avoid being blad for being suspected of racial discrimination, the best way is not to show up in front of these guys.
In this way, it is inevitable to enter the market at the wrong peak.
So, Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning has beco a legend witnessed by the crew mbers.
All right…
Arriving so early, I actually ca to shoot the scene where the heroine Mia is stepping on the sun light to go to school. It was already dawn at five o'clock, and there was a place with sun light at six o'clock. If you don't prepare in advance, you will just miss it everything.
But because I just finished watching the Oscars a few hours ago, so...
Yawning and looking tired is the real working state of everyone.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too tired and perfunctory, or the makeup artist’s skills are really superb. In short, when Anne Hathaway, the protagonist, ca out of the dressing room, the look was really the sa as that described in the script. Like Mia, she has no sense of beauty.
If the dark blue long-sleeved jacket and plaid skirt have already covered up her advantages, then the black stockings that reach her knees are like a saw, sawing off her long legs cut.
The color distribution of dark blue, light blue, white and black makes her look as tall as Reese Witherspoon at five feet eight inches. Shi's black glasses, after painting a pair of thick eyebrows like a brother's eyebrows, are so ordinary that you can't find them in the crowd, completely enveloping her.
This state also made Evelyn Watson, who saw each other for the first ti, raise her eyebrows.
"This is the actress personally selected by Boss?"
"Isn't it too young?"
She muttered to the producer Jon Landau beside her.
As the speaker of Warcraft Film and Television selected by Roland, the production process of "Princess Diaries" naturally does not need Evelyn Watson to personally check it. Like everyone thinks, the CEO of a film and television company must understand the production of all projects It's different. In fact, the CEO of a film and television company only needs to be responsible for the financial report. To ensure that the company can make a steady profit is their fundantal job. They don't need to participate in the creation of everything.
Not only that, the producers don’t actually have to stay on the set all the ti. Their purpose of existence is to supervise the entire project to be produced on ti and in accordance with the managent’s requirents. Those who really follow the whole process are the production directors.
But the problem is that these common senses cannot be placed on the tasks assigned by the boss himself.
So, on the first day of filming, even at four o'clock in the morning, they arrived on ti.
After hearing what the other party said, Jon Landau turned his head slightly, glanced at the airborne boss, then turned his gaze to the shooting location, nodded and said: "Yes, she is the actor Roland personally selected. "
"What? Isn't it like?"
"Isn't it?" Evelyn Watson nodded and smiled, "I thought Boss only liked plump ones."
"Kate Winslet has a great figure, and Charlize Theron, who was selected in the casting of "X-n", also has a very beautiful figure, and now, this is Anne-Hay Compared with them, Servi's is simply two extres."
"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Evelyn Watson's words made Jon Landau exclaim again and again.
However, although the fat man made a sound of surprise, there was a happy smile on his unshaven face.
"Evelyn! Roland is your boss!"
"How dare you demote the boss and his wife behind the boss?"
"I think you don't want to do it anymore!"
The playful scolding made Evelyn Watson shake her head.
She did not give a supplentary explanation to her words, but asked back: "Okay, okay, stop acting in front of , okay? Which of the guys at the scene didn't think so?"
"If it wasn't for the fact that Boss is about to get married, do you believe that they imdiately treated her as Boss' girlfriend?"
While speaking, Evelyn Watson raised her right hand and pointed around.
The area covered by is shrouded in an emotion called pro (discuss) and cut (good).
This situation made Jon Landau click his tongue.
Even though he didn't give a clear response, the kind of approval was already on his face.
That's right, although the fundantal purpose of Roland's investnt in "Princess Diaries" is to reach a long-term and good cooperative relationship with Disney, and to find Disney's weaknesses in the process of mutual communication and integration, and then violently attack them.
But the problem is, only he knows this kind of thing in his heart!
In the eyes of others, his shooting is full of strong mystery.
It seems like...
Golden House Cangjiao.
Originally, as a film and television company, its involvent in various thes can actually be called a diversified operation, and there has never been anyone who would insist on why a film and television company that started out with horror films would make historical dramas. This is a boring question, but all the ti, the films invested by Roland's Warcraft Film and Television have been very casual, or in other words, full of purpose:
Everyone in the circle knows that the reason why Roland invested in "The Seven Deadly Sins" was because the film director David Fincher wanted to make this work, and he was a mber of George Lucas, so Roland helped a friend;
They also knew that the reason why Roland invested in "Virgin Suicides" was because of the face of Sofia Coppola's father, and when Francis Coppola wanted to intervene, Roland took the initiative to sell the project;
Not only that, everyone still knows that the reason why Roland started the three projects of "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings" and "X-n" at the sa ti is all because he wanted to buy a prize for himself and his wife.
Under this habit of having a purpose before investing, Roland suddenly proposed to make a Cinderella-type movie.
As long as it is an individual, it will feel strange.
Because the author is not his friend, the director is not his friend, the producer is not his friend, then...
What about Roland?
Picture money?
Do not make jokes.
Film and television dramas are the riskiest gamble in the world!
In the case where financial tools can be used to make money, film and television dramas are actually toys.
But if it’s an honest filming, then everyone won’t be entangled, because they can understand that Roland wants to advertise his own RandK brand through a Cinderella-type movie, but the problem is...
The starring role is not only a default, but also a well-known actor!
It’s okay for a newcor, but this newcor is not yet a mber of the Jewish Gang and the British Gang!
Eh!
You can’t bla others for thinking about it!
When the mbers of the team knew that the protagonist of this project, which had not been publicly selected, had been appointed, everyone had knowing smiles on their faces;
When they learned that Anne Hathaway, who exudes a youthful atmosphere, was personally selected by Roland, it ca from their understanding of a gentleman, which made them smile even more;
And when they learned that Warcraft Film and Television had signed an agreent with Anne Hathaway for three to six guaranteed films for five years, these guys, while keeping a distance from them, also gave them warmth like a spring breeze.
For example, when writing the script, the screenwriter Gina Winkows first t with Anne Hathaway. After learning that the other party believed in Catholicism, except for the two kisses necessary for the plot, the heroine was aningless. All the passionate scenes were deleted by her.
For example, when the executive producer Mario Iskovic, who was in contact with Anne Hathaway, learned that Anne Hathaway usually kept cats, she didn't need to look for the "excitent" of stunt perforrs. Directly signed the other party's cat.
For another example, after the formation of the team, when connecting with RandK and asking the other party to co and design the crown jewelry according to Anne-Hathaway's personal style, when the designer learned that this is the "display cabinet" specially selected by her boss, she wanted to After taking the real objects to the scene for comparison, they imdiately picked up the notepad they carried with them, and asked the 'model' questions in a friendly manner. In the end, they wrote a full ten pages, starting with Anne Hathaway's preferences. , to the end of the result she wanted to present.
What is this?
Isn't it just that the subordinates frantically prepare everything after receiving the inspection notice from the superiors?
Although Roland never expressed his intentions, and he never t Anne Hathaway even after the mission was issued, it doesn't matter, because the guy with stinky feet can understand the reading and make him go to Mars !
Don't say anything about 'there is a strange light in the eye', when they encounter a movie that can only be understood after typing three tis on the poster, they can even use the 'principle of entropy increase', 'grandfather paradox', ' Möbius Loop Traversal', 'One-Electron Universe Hypothesis', 'Chiral Molecules and Mirror Molecules' to explain the greatness of the movie!
So, when Anne Hathaway's performance failed to satisfy director Garry Marshall and broke the rule that the first shot of the cara must go through once, the director didn't yell at her, but beckoned—
"Annie~" Garry Marshall motioned for her to co over.
"Hi~Director~" Such a situation made Anne Hathaway a little nervous.
As she trotted along with the scooter, her lips pursed involuntarily.
In this situation, Garry Marshall waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous..."
"I'm not nervous, director." Hearing what the other party said, Anne Hathaway beca even more nervous.
She even wondered if it was because she was too nervous that she acted too reserved in the shooting just now.
Otherwise, why did the director call her to give a play right after the first shot?
The blunt sophistry made Garry Marshall laugh. He understood that if he didn't speak clearly, this guy might be worried for a day, so he said directly: "Do you know what we shot in the first scene? ?”
'It's over, the show really failed...'
Anne Hathaway scread inwardly, her body tensed up suddenly, and the toes in the shoes curled up instinctively.
Glanced at the director quickly, and found that the other party was staring at her like a smiling tiger, her eyes imdiately drooped, and she said in a tone of resignation: "Our first scene was the scene when Mia went to school."
“While driving a scooter to school, Mia encountered a steep slope. Because the **** was too steep, the electric scooter couldn’t get on, so she needed to get off and push the scooter up.”
"Yeah, that's what we just shot."
Gary Marshall was satisfied with her answer, and then continued to ask, "Do you know how you just acted?"
"I..." Anne Hathaway thought for a while, and felt that her actions just now seed to be okay, so when she answered the question, her voice was a little confused, "I just... just pushed a scooter... and walked up ..."
As she spoke, she frowned and glanced back.
It seems to be recalling the action just now, but it is more like questioning the director's question.
If it was normal, Garry Marshall was already angry.
But now, he still maintained his smile and said, "Yes, you did co up just now, but didn't you notice that there is sothing wrong with the way you walked up?"
"No?" Anne Hathaway thought for a while, but didn't answer.
But his eyes, full of thirst for knowledge, fell on the director.
The silly and sweet doubts made Garry Marshall scratch his head, raised his hands slightly, and moved the eight fingers except the thumb slightly, beckoning the other party to give him the electric scooter.
Under his leadership, the two ca to the slope.
Gary Marshall, give her a demonstration.
"Just now, you walked up along the sideline holding the handle."
"There is nothing wrong with this posture, because normal people walk like this."
"But the question is, is Mia in the movie a normal person?"
"no."
"Mia in the movie is a lively but shy girl. She can fantasize about intimate kisses with her crush, and she can blushing in front of the other person and can't speak. This contrast happens to be the result of soone coming forward. The difference between people."
"In front of acquaintances, she is introverted, but in front of outsiders, she is cheerful, and now?"
"During her school journey, she didn't et acquaintances, so you don't need to use such a ladylike pace."
"Not only that, in order to reflect Mia's introversion in front of acquaintances, you have to be more cheerful at this ti, and make so pushing movents that can distinguish your personality, which can be exaggerated appropriately."
"Like a bear, can you understand ?"
"Oh..." Anne Hathaway understood, "Understood."
"Okay, let's do it again?"
"Good director."
Although the communication between the two was not loud, but because of the silence of the audience, the two who were hiding in the distance could still hear clearly. Such a cordial situation made them very satisfied.
Satisfied with the attitude of the staff.
Satisfied with the actor's attitude.
The reason why they ca here today is because they are worried that so people will sell their old age, and so will be pampered.
And now, since nothing happened, the director is kind and the lead actor is modest and studious, then—
There is nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Evelyn Watson smoothly smoothed out the wrinkles on the clothes.
"Let's go now, don't you take a look?" Jon Landau asked.
"No need, you can just keep an eye on it here, I still have a lot of things to do." Evelyn Watson sighed, "Besides , there are only a few finances in Warcraft Film and Television, and I have to do everything by myself." Do it, I'm so busy."
Jon Landau also knew this fact, so he asked curiously: "Then you don't recruit people?"
"Recruiting people? It's not necessary." Evelyn Watson shook her head, "Because I can't separate out the things I have in hand."
