Chapter 738: Adjani's style when she plays Malena(1/2)
"Attention, each team, carefully check whether the things they are responsible for are in place, lighting..."
As the assistant director, Lin Chaoxian worked hard to drink. The arrival of Lao Chen made him feel a lot of pressure. He was worried that Zhao Hong would let him go back to Xiangjiang, so he invested 110% on the scene.
As for Lao Chen, the main thing is to observe and learn, and at most just try it out.
"Photography, OK!"
"Make up, OK!"
"Props, OK!"
"Field notes, OK!"
…
Zhao Hong sat by the monitor and watched the scene being handled in an orderly manner, and her opinion of Lin Chaoxian deepened. Although this young man was very young, he also had good directing skills.
"Fourth, the assistant director you hired is good! He can handle this crew of more than 200 people with ease."
Old Chen looked at Lin Chaoxian's young face and marveled at his skillful scheduling.
"Haha, he is a talented student of our Hongfu Academy. The short film he shot when he graduated was very interesting. He will probably be a good director again in a few years."
Zhao Hong pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"..."The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" scene 20, first shot, a!"
In 1941, the whole world was shrouded in the smoke of World War II, but Sicily was still peaceful, and this was the hometown of the boy Renato.
Like all thirteen-year-old children, he is innocent, happy, restless, and full of fantasy about life.
Finally one day he met the woman who changed his life forever - Malena...
"When I first met her, I was only twelve and a half years old. Even now that I am older and my brain is not in control, I still clearly remember the day Mussolini declared war on Britain and France. And I got the first one.
The bicycle, the frame is from Africa, the gears are from Germany, the brake pads are from...I forgot, but the chain is from Sicily..."
At the beginning, there was some voyeuristic past of Renato, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Here, Zhao Hong personally took the photo, and there were many beautiful scenes that the crew's photographer could not capture.
Therefore, he had to do it himself, and in the process, all the beauties of Adjani were captured one by one by his camera.
All of Adjani's makeup looks are approved by Zhao Hong, many of them are a bit avant-garde, and the clothes designed for her are quite perfect.
It can be said that just for the character Malena, there are more than a dozen costumes, and each set is fashionable clothes that can be used on the red carpet. It can be said that Zhao Hong has worked hard for this.
He has two purposes for doing this, one is to make Marlena in the film more glamorous, and the other is to bring DreamWorks clothing to Europe and the United States. This time it is a good product placement.
If this movie becomes a classic, then the benefits to DreamWorks Clothing should not be too great, even billions can easily be made.
The planned shooting cost of this movie is US$10 million, but the advertising cost for DreamWorks Clothing alone is US$6 million, and all the costumes for the crew are provided by DreamWorks Clothing.
Zhao Hong saw on the monitor that although Xiao Lizi's acting skills were immature, his performance was very good. Even if the performance was not good enough, even if he was filming over and over again, he was not at all afraid or impatient.
It seems possible
Becoming a superstar is not without reason.
During the filming, Adjani really amazed the entire crew.
She flipped up her wavy black hair, wore the most fashionable short skirt and stockings, and stepped on high heels full of erotic temptation, and came to the quiet sunny town on the island of Sicily.
Every move she makes is eye-catching and captivating, and every smile she makes makes men enchanted and women jealous. Malena, like a goddess, has conquered this seaside paradise.
She has a very deep understanding of the role of Marlena, and now she has reached the point where she can't tell the difference between human and drama.
After the filming started, Adjani's emotions followed Malena's experience. Malena sank step by step, severed relations with her father, was taken to court, and lost all her property.
She had to repay the man who gave her food with her body, and even became a public prostitute.
During this process, Zhao Hong's director's room was opened countless times at midnight. Each time, she acted as a life mentor and explained many scenes in depth.
He feels that he is too sacred and has sacrificed a lot for this movie.
Zhao Hong doesn't care about anything when she's not filming movies. She calls her family one by one every once in a while. As for returning to Hong Kong, it's impossible.
The main reason is that the journey is too time-consuming. It takes four days to go back and forth.
As for the visiting team, it was possible, so for a while Li Meimei, Zhang Min, Xu Qing and others came to visit the team every now and then, and they ate a lot of seafood.
Among them, abalone is especially the best!
Time has slowly arrived in August, and it has been about 20 days since the filming of the movie started. All the actors on the crew performed very well, and there was no delay, so the shooting speed was okay.
Now the entire crew has matured, and the shooting speed will only get faster and faster.
Zhao Hong is not in a hurry when shooting, so she usually starts work at eight o'clock in the morning and ends at eight o'clock in the evening.
Lao Chen was full of complaints about this matter and felt that he was not happy!
As soon as he started shooting, he wanted to shoot day and night, and there was no need for rest.
Zhao Hong sneered at this kind of thing. Although he could shoot very fast day and night, one disadvantage was that the quality of the shots was unstable.
Actors are also human beings, and other crew members are also human beings. Who can bear to do this day and night?
It would be bad if something went wrong while in a trance.
Over time, the crew members have been admiring Zhao Hong. Some people may have had to give in because of his power before. Even if they were not very comfortable, they could only hold it in their hearts and execute it unconditionally.
But as to how much talent he has, many of the MGM filming crew who were working with him for the first time had no idea.
But as soon as the filming started, many of them were conquered by Zhao Hong's amazing talent. She is really versatile and can handle every position on the crew.
Take the position of photographer for example. When shooting Malena, the photographer couldn't meet his requirements for a long time. In the end, there was no way. Zhao Hong went straight to the battle. The resulting pictures amazed everyone. It was so beautiful.
!
Then there is the costume aspect. Even if there are slight imperfections, Zhao Hong can correct them one by one and even let the costume and props people say yes again and again.
There are many others, but in short, no one on the crew is dissatisfied.
"Do you think we, the director, can shoot a movie by ourselves?"
"How is that possible? If one person can shoot a movie, what do we need to do?"
"I think it will work. The director knows everyone on the crew very well. If it's a movie that relies on imagination but is a small scene, maybe he can actually complete it by himself."
…
Adjani was not far away from these people, and she also smiled when she heard their discussion. During this time, she seemed to have returned to the feeling of first love.
Every night she quietly went to the director's room to review the script, which made her radiant. She finally knew what someone's winning weapon was.
No wonder Sophie, that little bitch, can't live without someone, and she's obsessed with him.
Sophie also came to visit the class frequently during this period, which delayed her artistic communication with the director. She really hated it in her heart.
She was also impressed by Zhao Hongcai during this period, and part of the reason why she took the initiative to send seafood.
After hearing these words, she came to Zhao Hong and said.
"Director, everyone is very curious about whether you shoot a movie alone. Do you think you can complete it alone?"
Zhao Hong was stunned after hearing this. He really hadn't thought about this. If he had to give it a try, he might actually be able to do it.
But he said modestly: "Haha, the formation of a movie is a collective work. It is impossible for one person to complete a movie. Although I can know every position well, it is not possible."
In August, when Zhao Hong was on the crew filming a movie, he also received a lot of phone calls. Many tycoons in Hong Kong called him. The main reason was that they had suffered heavy investment losses in Japan some time ago.
After seeing DreamWorks enter the market, they also entered the market one after another, but the Japanese stock market kept falling again and again, which made them feel heartbroken at the loss.
We invested 100 million, but after a few days only 60 million was left, which is unbearable for anyone.
Many people also complained about DreamWorks and thought they were being led astray.
Let them head towards death all at once.
Zhao Hong sometimes doesn't want to answer these calls, but there are many people he has to answer.
He has repeatedly emphasized that only by holding on for a long time can you make money, but many of these people have short-sightedness and only like to make quick money. When they see that their investment money is a little less, they feel very distressed, so they quickly withdraw from the market.
He has nothing to say about this kind of thing, so he deserves to be bullied.
Besides, he has never induced them to invest in Japan, and he has never publicly announced his investment status. This information was all created by themselves.
After investing with DreamWorks, I suffered a loss and got blamed for it.
What's the point?
Fortunately, he was filming a movie in Sicily, Italy. Otherwise, he would have had more troubles. Even my sister came out time and again to refute rumors and clarify some things.
Investment is risky, so be cautious when entering the market!
At the end of August, one-third of the filming of the movie was completed
Renato, who was only thirteen years old, also involuntarily fell into the whirlpool caused by Malena. He not only rode bicycles with other older teenagers, shuttled through every corner of the town, searching for
With her alluring beauty and charming charm, Malena has quietly become her unknowing little follower, following her everywhere and spying on her life.
Her swaying figure, the music she listened to, her close-fitting clothes... all became the truest and most beautiful erotic fantasy of this young man who was overwhelmed by hormones...
However, through Renato's eyes, we also see Malena fall into an increasingly darker situation. She becomes a widow, and in the eyes of the townspeople, she also becomes a solid figure.
The disaster brought about lust, jealousy and anger, and a storm mixed with lust and anger began to hit this small town that had not even been disturbed by war.
To be continued...
