Chapter 127 Vampire Kiss

Nicholas Cage!

This Oscar winner and Hollywood superstar are about to arrive on the set of "The Wedding Time is Coming"!

Except for Master Jiya's calm and gentle look, everyone in the crew is looking forward to it. It's great, it's really rare. How many low-cost movie projects can be invited to make guest appearances by superstars? Or how many movie projects can be?

That’s right, it doesn’t take much time to make a cameo appearance. The question is why? Why do superstars take the risk of a bad movie and then damage their image?

Even if Jiya spoke, Cage would agree. The dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. After "The Wind Whisperer", he was not afraid of the reputation of acting in bad movies.

"Have Mr. Cage arrived?", "Not yet.", "No superstars are not late."...

On the open lawn, everyone was talking and waiting. Peter Heller and Sean Maurel were full of excitement. At least the chance of success of the video increased a little more.

They had met many NBA stars when filming "The Legend of Jordan", but to be honest, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki and others combined, they were not as big as Cage!

"My cousin's text message has been said, I'll bring him over."

At this time, Jiya's words suddenly sounded like nature, and the uneasiness in everyone's heart suddenly turned into cheers. It's not that there is something to do, it's really coming!

"I'll go with you." Ye Wei followed with a smile. How could he be negligent when the big man gave him such a face?

"Look at you, calm down, calm down!" Gia spread her hands, "It's just a cake in a cage, I just called him that."

Everyone laughed, he is not our cousin!

The two left the set, walked for a while, and came to the driveway outside the lawn, and saw a black Land Rover RV coming. At a glance, they knew it was a Hollywood star's car.

Ye Wei asked, Jiya nodded. When the RV was parked in front of them, the rear door opened, and a tall middle-aged man with a tall figure was walking down. He was wearing a gray shirt and casual pants, long nose and blue eyes, a little bald in front, and no shaved stubble, highlighting his melancholy temperament and smiling very friendly.

It's not anyone, it's Cage!

"Cake, you're too late." Jiya walked up angrily, pointing the watch on her left wrist with her index finger, "Is it okay to have some time concept? You really don't cooperate! I don't know that I'm going to take some makeup today? Tell me, what's the excuse?"

"Sorry, my alarm clock is broken." Cage said apologetically to her cousin, but looked at the black-haired Chinese boy next to her. I have heard a lot of VIYs recently!

It was true that Cage was nearly twenty minutes late, but Ye Weizhen had no complaints. He didn't come to the guest role but was not just a pay or something, but just giving face and opportunities. He smiled and walked up: "It's nothing, fortunately God is not beautiful, and he looks very fast."

Just change into white robes and stick some long beards on it. Don’t do hairstyles, because one is too much like God and there will be blasphemy at any time. The other is too little like Cage, so the audience will not feel it.

After laughing, Ye Wei stretched out his right hand and said seriously: "Mr. Cage, thank you very much for your guest appearance, which made us all crazy."

He couldn't be without excitement. Cage is one of his favorite actors. Cage's performance in "Face Change" is unforgettable to him. Of course, Cage has so many great performances, "Birdman", "Far Away from Casino", "City of Angels"...

"Vampire Kiss" that cannot be ignored! Cage's classic comedy when he was young is the most funny and neurotic vampire in history! He even swallowed a cockroach alive when he performed!

"Just call me Nick." Cage shook hands with the young man and said with interest: "I am really interested in this project, the project of a 16-year-old movie genius."

"Haha." Ye Weizheng was about to laugh and say something, but Jiya was even hurried than him, and pushed her cousin to the set, "Don't waste time to greet you, go and put on makeup!"

"Okay, OK, Master Jiya has the final say!"

...

Griffith Park is sparsely populated, and it is Wednesday, with few tourists. In the distance of the lawn in the "Paradise" scene, only four tourists who happened to pass by were taking photos. They were politely stopped by the crew, hoping that they would not disturb the shooting.

"Nick, I just need you to pretend to be serious, and you can do the rest yourself."

The filming is about to be started, and the crew is conducting the final inspection, while Ye Wei is telling the play to Cage, and Ji Ya is like a supervisor next to him.

Although the other party is the Oscar winner, Ye Wei does not allow himself to stage fright as soon as he enters this moment. If he can't handle it now, "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" still wants to invite superstars to join? The most experienced director is also a director, and the biggest actor is still an actor, so there is nothing to be nervous about!

Looking at Cage nodding slightly, he continued, "God doesn't want the God of Wedding to resign because he really can't find anyone else to do the job, but he made the God of Wedding believe 'You are important, you are the only competent', so it's very subtle."

"I understand." Cage had already done his styling, shook his head coquettishly, his brown beard fluttering, "Some mean, right."

"Yes!" Ye Wei smiled, "It's MEAN! All the characters in the spoof movie are MEAN, and God is no exception."

It is worthy of being Cage, and he knows almost better than him what effect he needs. It is this kind of thing, a little bit of slut, which makes people laugh and want to laugh and scold the other person intimately, like an old friend.

"Then you're the best performance." Jiya's eyes swept Ye Wei, and she smiled very much: "That shouldn't be too many."

"Let's see." Ye Wei clapped his palms and shouted to everyone: "Prepare to start!"

Soon, the set entered the shooting state, and the scene looked like this:

God sat by the tree on the lawn, leisurely looking at the herd of grass in the distance, a peaceful and peaceful scene. But God suddenly saw the God of Wedding coming, just like seeing the decayed God. God quickly got up and wanted to leave, but was called by the God of Wedding, and then they talked while walking.

The first few shots were not performed, and it was not difficult to shoot. It took less than half an hour to complete them. I took a few close-ups and insert shots of rich materials. Finally, I came to the focus of this scene, a "talking while walking" scene, Ye Wei and Cage's rivalry!

There are many ways to shoot such two-person conversation scenes, such as the commonly used TV to switch close-ups of two people back and forth, interspersing several two-person shots. This is the easiest. Those shots can even be completed on different working days. When shooting close-ups, the actors perform in front of the air, and the audience will not know.

Decomposing this scene into multiple different angles and sports two-person shots is also a kind of way. This way, it is easier to shoot and perform. It is to divide the work into small pieces and then solve it one by one, and be careful not to cross the axis.

But long shots like "talk while walking"!

But it tests scene scheduling very much. It doesn’t have complex scheduling, but it just looks like a family DV video. It is only necessary to walk and talk while you are both interesting and dramatic.

It also tests the actors' skills very much. Just by saying more than a dozen lines in sequence in one breath, there are problems with memory and lyricism. Some actors cannot even remember lines that exceed three rounds at a time!

It also takes the test of the changes in performance. There are multiple levels in a shot, which is also a headache for many actors.

Good "talking while walking" is like flowing, and the audience has not noticed it, but has seen a lot.

This scene only has the back and forth dialogue between God and the God of Wedding, and nothing else, so "talking while walking" can complete the process as quickly as possible and focus the audience on the audience, and also take the audience to appreciate the beautiful scenery of heaven, while also conforming to the atmosphere that God wants to slip away in front.

As a director, Ye Wei chose to use "talking while walking" here, which is perfect, but as an actor, he seems to be a little ignorant of life and death...

Instead of laying the tracks, they asked Maurel to put on the Stenikon mecha to operate the camera. In front of the camera, the two leading actors stood side by side and prepared to start the show.

"Huh, Huh!" Ye Wei took a few deep breaths, as if the boxer had punched a few times when he was on the ring, jumped a few times before nodding to the deputy director: "Okay."

And Nicholas Cage was calm and uneasy. I have never seen any big scenes before?

"Start the recording." Jennifer Anderson commanded, and everyone around him was quiet. Jiya looked at the show. Guess how many NGs of this shot will pass?

"Scene 32, the eighth shot, the first one."

Smack, “Action.”

Hearing this, the two of them walked forward on the preset route, and the performance began!
Chapter completed!
