"Attention all units, check the strength of the lifting wooden frame again..."

The first assistant director held a loudspeaker as the crew recreated the installation artist's home one-to-one, building the apartment downstairs where Molly and Sam's home in the movie was built, and directed the on-site staff.

The NYPD got their big backstage, and Rudy's instructions gave Ronald's crew great convenience. The entire Prince Street in Soho was closed off and lent to the crew to shoot this scene.

After checking the safety measures on site, Ronald personally pulled the wooden frame installed outside the apartment with his hands. This is what Italians from moving companies often do, and temporarily fixed a wooden frame and pulleys above the window.

, used to carry extremely tall and oversized furniture.

"Action!" After Ronald confirmed, he signaled from inside the apartment to start shooting.

A wooden statue of the Virgin was pulled from the ground to the window. All the window glass had not been installed yet, just waiting for the furniture to come in.

Demi Moore, wearing jeans and a gray shirt, climbed onto the windowsill and was about to reach out to the statue.

Molly was afraid that the movers might damage the statue, so she wanted to get her in by herself.

"Cut!"

Of course, Ronald wanted to protect the star. After he photographed Demi Moore's back on the window sill, he called it quits. Then he changed the angle and took a close-up shot of the safety belt binding Demi's waist and hips, which could be edited together.

Already.

"Prepare……"

Demi Moore tied the safety belt around her waist, then turned her back to the camera and began to prepare.

"Action!"

She stretched out a hand to reach the wooden statue, but still couldn't reach it. Demi Moore had no choice but to stretch out a foot to reach it. The camera captured one of her hands and one foot from the upper back.

Shot out of the window.

It happened that the camera only captured her upper body and back, and all the protective measures were well hidden from the camera. Although it would be scary to see it on the screen later, in fact, there were sufficient protective measures and there was no danger at all.

"Cut!"

The stunt team of the film crew began to unbuckle Demi Moore again, and then placed several apple boxes under the window frame.

Demi Moore climbed onto the box again and continued to shoot the scene where she stretched out her hands and feet to reach the statue. The clever camera settings made this shot look like she was stretching out her hands and feet out the window.

In fact, all of Demi's actions are completed inside the window frame. When the post-editing is completed, after this action is edited to the scene shot just before wearing a safety belt, the audience will automatically generate the imagination of Molly doing dangerous actions in their minds.

.

"Ah...ah..." Demi Moore screamed. Patrick Schweitz suddenly attacked from behind, taking Demi's hand and pulling it in.

Molly, played by Demi Moore, suddenly lost her balance, screamed and fell back in fright, and then realized that her boyfriend Sam was playing a prank. She fell into his arms.

Sam, played by Schwytz, also took advantage of the situation, picked up Molly's legs, hugged her and kissed her.

"Cut!"

The two actors handled this frightened reaction very well. Demi Moore's body language had a very abrupt back movement due to being frightened, just like a scared kitten.

Generally, in this kind of scene, many actors can only perform such a reaction that is recognized by the audience if they are truly frightened. And Demi Moore's contraction shows that this actress has excellent body perception and emotional control.

of.

"very good……"

Ronald praised the actors and continued filming the next episode.

I saw Patrick Schwytz clinging to the window frame with his hands, as if doing a pull-up, and pushing out with his feet toward the wooden statue outside.

With a bang, the statue swayed, first swung outward, then swung back under the influence of gravity, and was caught by Schwyz, who then moved it into the room with the help of workers.

"Look out", Molly, played by Demi Moore, smiled at her boyfriend's cleverness and hurried forward to help.

"Sam, Molly, are you there?" came the voice of Tony Goldwyn, who played Carl, from behind.

"What's he doing here?" Molly asked.

"Slave labor," Sam joked, then called back, "Come and help."

Karl hurried forward and helped the two men carry the statue.

"Cut!"

This scene is the second appearance of the three protagonists, and the characters of the three characters are fully demonstrated. Molly is independent and independent, Sam is smart and a bit frivolous, and Carl is Sam's follower and has a crush on Molly.

As soon as they appeared on the stage, the images of the three protagonists were quickly established in the minds of the audience. Ronald's narrative skills are becoming more and more proficient. And the reactions of the three actors are also very good, making the audience very involved in the drama.

You can identify the characters at first glance, and start looking forward to what will happen to the next three people.

"Director, a reporter from the Daily News is here." Assistant Richie Lake, a chubby girl, used every opportunity to inform Ronald about the prearranged interview with reporters.

"Hello", Ronald happened to catch up with the time gap for re-lighting, and chatted with the reporter of the Daily News.

This time they did not send a reporter from the entertainment section, but instead hired a senior reporter from the current affairs section to interview.

The reporter watched from the side as Ronald was instructing the crew, and when he had time, he would ask questions intermittently.

After asking about some expectations for the new movie, and what it was like when Harry Met Sally was being screened in New York, which is currently in theaters, the reporter asked about the planned theme.

"I saw that in your shooting plan, the male protagonist was stabbed to death in Manhattan, New York. Is this a tragedy?"

"Is it a tragedy? Maybe it can be understood this way, but it mainly depends on the needs of the story. The name of this movie is Ghost. As you can imagine, most of the male protagonists are in the form of ghosts...

I personally view it as a romantic love story. The most important thing about love is heart-to-heart connection. There are many barriers between lovers. Sometimes, you have to open your mind to convey your love..."

"I saw in the script that the male protagonist was robbed in a high-end area of ​​Manhattan like Broadway, and then stabbed to protect his girlfriend. Is this a metaphor for the current security situation in New York?

"Metaphor? Maybe. But this plot was written by the screenwriter, you have to ask him. In my opinion, this is the need of the narrative, not a satire of the current situation in New York. Of course, the current security situation is indeed not very good.

, the Central Park case also came out in the previous paragraph.

As a child who grew up in New York, I hope that the city can regain safety and calm, and not run in Central Park and encounter danger..."

Ronald stopped talking and didn't name any candidates, but everything he said was criticizing the security situation in New York.

He was not afraid of Dinkins at all, so he attacked him. Because the security of New York is now an issue that everyone cares about, even black politicians like Dinkins, who rely on black people as their most stable source of votes, have to

At the campaign rally, he repeatedly promised to make maintaining the safety of the city his top priority after being elected.

After all, black people, like white people, have only one life. Although the case of black people attacking white people in Central Park caused a lot of controversy and was used by both parties to blame each other, in fact, it is the Bronx that is most affected by the deterioration of public security.

of those black communities.

It's just that violent crimes among black people do not have much news value, so they are not widely reported by the media.

…

The filming in New York went particularly smoothly because of Rudy's help.

That night, Ronald and the crew came to Wall Street, which was the only way to get to their apartment from Broadway. After watching the play on Broadway, it took five minutes to walk here, turn a corner and walk for five minutes.

Just arrived at the apartment.

This is a small road intersecting Wall Street. Under the dim street lights, the ground is barely illuminated, and the surrounding environment is a bit dark. This is the place where Sam was assassinated.

Of course, the crew is not afraid of any safety issues. In addition to Ronald's bodyguard Dan, who hired his former colleagues to provide security for the crew, the NYPD also specially sent several police cars to clear the surrounding intersections.

.

Sam and Molly were walking together in the autumn evening. The two chatted about theater and Molly's upcoming gallery exhibition. The weather was a bit cold. Sam put his coat on Molly, and Molly naturally

I want to talk to Sam about their relationship.

"Sports Illustrated will cover my exhibition."

"Don't be afraid, those reporters are all students who failed the art school."

"But they have eight million readers..."

"What matters is not them, but how I see it. I think your work is beautiful."

Patrick Schwytz and Demi Moore were walking down the street like a couple. Their body movements definitely showed this.

Ronald was sitting behind the camera on one side. There was a slide rail built underneath. A group of coolies pushed the camera hard there, following the two actors in parallel. The camera shot close-ups from a 45-degree angle, which was very beautiful.

.

When the audience sees this, it feels like they are walking with the two lovers and observing their various beauties.

After hearing Sam's sweet words, Molly smiled sweetly. She could finally say what she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Sam, I want to marry you..." Demi Moore hugged Schwytz's arm tightly and said something earth-shattering. That look of proposal made her very sure that Sam was the one she loved.

human.

"What?" Sam was startled, but Schwytz's expression couldn't tell what it meant.

"Yes, I have thought about it a lot..." Demi Moore's face had an expression that said you heard what I said, don't want me to say it a second time.

"What?" Schwytz had not yet reacted to his girlfriend's sudden proposal.

In Hollywood movies, there are generally no plots where women take the initiative to propose marriage. This is contrary to American tradition. If the man does not propose, then the traditional model of men working to earn wages and women being housewives at home will

May not be popular anymore.

Of course, independent urban women like Molly are completely opposed to this tradition. In their view, a woman's proposal is not a big deal, what matters is true love.

"Are you serious?" Patrick Schwytz stopped.
