Yu Dong has been to the set of "Don't Talk to Strangers", but the tension on the set of "Don't Talk to Strangers" is completely incomparable to that of "Sniper Phone Booth".

Once the filming starts here, the scene is like a war, everyone has to move.

Yu Dong even couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Not only him, but also the students who came with him couldn't keep up.

But Schumacher couldn't slow down the shooting speed for them, so they had to work hard to adapt to this fast pace, including Yu Dong.

The only good thing is that nowadays, all the films being filmed are one-man shows with male protagonists, so there aren’t too many things to pay attention to.

At this stage, Yu Dong only needs to pay attention to Matthew's lines and give him time to adapt to the overall shooting rhythm.

Of course, there is a problem with the fast pace of shooting, and that is that Matthew can't bear it.

Most of the scenes in this movie are Matthew McConaughey's, and we also shot his scenes all day today, but a person's physical strength is limited. Under such high-intensity shooting, although Matthew is young,

It won't last long either.

After filming for about two hours, everyone started to stop and rest.

At this time, Dan Brown, who had been waiting not far away, came over with a smile, "YU, you look very professional."

Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand, "This is my first time joining a group, so I don't understand many things."

"You are too modest, YU." Schumacher came over and handed Yu Dong and Brown a bottle of water each, "It's almost lunch, let's rest a little longer, and after dinner, we can talk about the morning's scene.

.Is Mr. Brown coming from Los Angeles?”

Dan Brown nodded, "Well, it's been a while."

"Let's have dinner together at noon..." Before Schumacher could finish his words, he saw his assistant walking over with someone carrying a box. He smiled and waved to Dong and the others, "Let's go, let's take you to see some nice things.

"

nice one?

Yu Dong didn't know why, so he followed Schumacher without asking any questions.

When the assistant opened the box, Yu Dong raised his eyebrows.

It's a gun, a big gun.

"Is this a real gun?" Yu Dong asked.

"Of course." Schumacher smiled and nodded, stroking the body of the rifle as he introduced, "This is the L96A1 sniper rifle produced by the British Precision International Company. It can fight in severe cold environments and has very good performance."

This was the first time that Yu Dong had such close contact with a real gun, and it was a sniper rifle.

He reached out and touched the gun.

The touch feel is very ordinary, there is no "cold glow" feeling, but the scope looks quite stylish.

Those Chinese students had never been exposed to guns. When they heard that the guns were coming, they all gathered around and wanted to see what a sniper rifle looked like.

"You can only look at it, but you can't touch it."

Yu Dong saw that the students were very enthusiastic about guns and shouted quickly for fear of an accident.

Schumacher did not take it seriously, "A gun without bullets does not pose any threat."

"I'm afraid they might have damaged the scope."

"Not that fragile."

The students were looking at the guns, and the three of them walked aside. Looking at the enthusiastic students, Schumacher said with a smile: "The gun is a good gun, but it also depends on who is using it. The sniper is the most important."

Dan Brown nodded in approval, "It's true. It's not easy to train a good sniper. Is the protagonist of this movie a sniper?"

Schumacher smiled and shook his head, "No, he is just a poor guy who can't move under the scope."

Dan Brown raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew the movie was called "Sniper Phone Booth" and when he saw a gun just now, his first reaction was that it was a gunfight movie.

He was still wondering just now. YU didn't seem to know much about sniper rifles. Can such a script be written well?

Now it seems that things are a little different from what he thought.

But he didn't ask in detail. After all, the movie hadn't been made yet, so it would be inappropriate to ask too many questions.

After thinking for a while, Dan Brown added, "Speaking of sniper rifles, the news has recently reported on the assassination of the president in 1963. I heard that a lot of information has been released, but when I look at the news, there doesn't seem to be any special progress."

"Huh, there will never be truth in this kind of thing." Schumacher smiled contemptuously, "The gunman must be the scapegoat. There is no doubt that he was shot to death two days after he was arrested. As soon as this incident came out, the whole world

We are no exception when it comes to watching the U.S. government’s jokes.”

Yu Dong didn't know much about the president's assassination and asked, "Is this matter still undecided?"

Dan Brown pretended to be mysterious and said, "Whether we have a conclusion or not depends on whether we are willing to believe the official information. But it turns out that most people don't believe it. Things are too strange..."

When it comes to talking about this, Dan Brown is pretty cool.

He seemed to have collected information on this matter and explained the situation very clearly.

And he probably wasn't making it up. Schumacher nodded repeatedly beside him, indicating that he was right.

"The witnesses are all dead, so there is no proof. They can't protect the president, and they can't even protect witnesses and criminals, so it's hard to believe what they say." Schumacher sighed.

After Yu Dong heard what they said, he narrowed his eyes and remembered a novel he had read.

"Golden Dream" written by Kotaro Isaka, the protagonist in the novel was slandered as the murderer of the Prime Minister and was hunted down, but in the end he miraculously escaped.

That novel left a deep impression on Yu Dong, and it has won many awards for mystery novels. However, Yu Dong believes that its brilliance lies in things other than reasoning, such as the power of living itself.

Now because of chatting with Schumacher and Dan Brown, Yu Dong thought of this novel, and then he had some thoughts. Maybe he could write a novel similar to "Golden Dream" based on what Schumacher and others said.

In the chaotic streets of the United States, a little man faced sudden slander and finally went through all kinds of hardships. In the intertwining of family and friendship, he sought an opportunity to escape and completed a miracle.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "YU, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Yu Dong was silent, Schumacher asked curiously.

Dan Brown, who was standing next to him, joked: "Maybe he has some inspiration for new works because of what we said."

Yu Dong nodded and said: "I do have some ideas, but they are not complete yet."

"Are you really inspired?" Schumacher exclaimed. "You don't want to write a revelation novel, do you? It involves the political arena? For example, the shady story of the president's murder?"

Yu Dong shrugged, "I told you, it's not complete yet, it's just an idea. I don't know if it will be written in the end and what it will be like."

"Perhaps if we talk a little more, your ideas will be more complete?" Dan Brown said.

Yu Dong waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. We will have dinner later and the movie has to be rushed."

…

Before the afternoon movie shoot, Dan Brown pulled Dong aside.

"YU, I have prepared some information on mysticism and semiotics for you, do you still need it?"

Yu Dong looked at Dan Brown for a long time, "You really don't think about writing it yourself? You have studied these things for so long and understand them better than I do. It is more appropriate for you to write it."

Dan Brown smiled and said: "I have read all your novels, but I am not confident that I can write better than you. And my mind is on music now, and it is difficult to be distracted from other things - of course, if you need some

For help, you can come to me at any time.”

"Okay." Yu Dong nodded, "Bring me the information later and I'll take a look first."

"Okay, the information has been sorted out and I'll bring it to you later. Also, can I make a request?"

"What request?" Yu Dong asked.

Dan Brown rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "If you decide to write a novel, after you finish it, can you write it and show it to me? I have been making music in this area recently. I think, if I can read

The novel you wrote may inspire me... Of course, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I can wait until the novel is published and go to the bookstore to buy it."

Yu Dong nodded: "No problem at all. I promise you that if the novel is written, I will contact you as soon as possible. No matter what, if this novel can be published, you will have a very big contribution."

"It's just some information."

Yu Dong narrowed his eyes and smiled, thinking that Dan Brown's contribution was not just as simple as providing information.

The two chatted for a few more words, then the filming started, and Schumacher called Yu Dong over.

Later, Bryce and Cheng Yanqiu came back from shopping, and the couple came to say goodbye to Yu Dong.

During the afternoon filming, Yu Dong started to get into the mood and was able to keep up with Schumacher and the others. During the filming, he even changed a line for Matthew McConaughey on the spot.

That line was said by the protagonist to the pizza delivery person. It was originally "Here is five dollars. Go and return the pizza to the person who ordered it."

However, when Matthew McConaughey was playing the role, Yu Dong always felt that it was a bit off, so he thought about it on the spot for a while and changed the line to "Eat the pizza, you look like you need a good meal."

This is a foreshadowing and a point to deceive the audience, making them think that the pizza delivery man is the mastermind behind the scenes.

The previous lines of the protagonist were too mild and could not give more support to the plot.

After the modification, the effect was indeed much better, and the hatred of the pizza delivery man became justifiable.

"YU, I said it would be right to invite you over." Schumacher was very satisfied with the effect of changing the lines and kept praising Yu Dong.

Yu Dong himself was also very satisfied and was glad that he had come. It turned out that the script still had some flaws.

Only by watching the actors perform at the scene can you intuitively feel these flaws and then prescribe the right remedies. This is something you cannot do by yourself writing a script with a pen.
