Let the NYPD-protected street shooting in New York continue on Saturday.
At No. 28 Wall Street, where the statue of the founding leader George Washington stands, there is an ancient building, the Federal Conference Hall. In this section of the street to the left and right of Wall Street, the NYPD controlled the flow of traffic and people, allowing the crew and extras to pretend to be people in Wall Street.
Pedestrians in a hurry.
This is the first time that the Ghost crew has really worked overtime. There is no other reason than that Wall Street cannot be closed for filming during working hours. Among the people coming and going on the street, they are either bankers or people who work for bankers.
One of their biggest characteristics is that they walk extremely fast, as if they would lose a billion-yuan deal if they walked slowly for one minute.
Therefore, the extras that Ronald hired also walked faster than ordinary people. However, the number of people was much smaller than that of real Wall Street working days.
The camera focused on the Federal Capitol Building across the street, panned down from above, and finally zoomed in to a close-up, with Patrick Schwitz and Whoopi Goldberg entering the frame from the left.
"Four million dollars! How should I spend it? I'm going to buy this building, and wait a minute, I'm going to send my sister to a weight loss center. She's too fat."
Odme, played by Whoopi Goldberg, wears a purple suit and a feather-decorated hat, which makes her look like a lady.
Odme was brought in by Ghost Sam, pretending to be the name of the owner of the account used by the bad guy Carl to launder money, and emptied Carl's money laundering accounts that had accumulated for many years from the bank where they worked.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you want to use this money?"
"Right? It's better to buy a house. Buying a house is not bad..."
The camera followed the two people on the paved track. Whoopi Goldberg is an actress with very good body control. Her character Odmee can't even walk in a suit, and her uncomfortable look is very realistic.
.
"You have to get the check out, Odme."
"Yes, yes, I have to take it out, and I have to sign it to prevent it from being lost." With that, Whoopi Goldberg took out the check for four million US dollars from the high-end-looking handbag, folded it in half and put it away.
Chest stuffing.
"Wait a minute, you have to endorse the check...", Sam's ghost said to Odeme.
"Endorsement? If someone picks up my check after I endorse it, can't I cash it right away?" Odeme looked confused, thinking that Sam had made a mistake and it was not an endorsement but a signature.
"Endorsement, this is not your money, Odeme, I never said you could take the money. There is blood on this money. I was murdered by them because they found this money. If you cash the money to yourself
account, they will definitely find you, and only donating the money can keep you safe."
Whoopi Goldberg's expression was very exciting, with a look of disbelief. Sam's reasons were very good, and Odeme would not kill herself just because of a huge sum of four million. But after all, this was four hundred in 1989.
Wan, Odme's emotions cannot be accepted.
Her expression was like that of a black woman who won the Powerball lottery and was told the ticket was fake when she went to claim her prize.
"Then what do you want to do with the money?"
"Look to your right..."
"Cut!"
After the call was stopped, the camera quickly began to move and shot the scene of the charity fund-raising booth opposite.
This is a church fundraising booth, and all charitable activities on Wall Street require approval. Ronald spent a lot of time thinking about which organization to donate to for this charity. In the end, he gave it to the one with the longest time and the most recognizable uniform.
, and a church that is compatible with the plot of the movie itself.
Two nuns in nun uniforms stood there and smiled at the crowd. The words behind them said that this was a fund-raising event for the homeless poor.
If it was for other less fortunate people, Ronald was worried that he would be directly involved in the very tight election campaign in New York City, so he simply chose a homeless man to raise funds for, with whom both sides would have no objections.
Most of the right-wingers are homeowners, and America's homeowners have a long tradition of caring for those who are less fortunate. In addition, this is a fundraiser for the church, and it can be regarded as one of the most successful charitable organizations.
Already.
As for the left wing, many of them are recipients of donations. There is nothing bad about selecting nuns, even if they have political appeals.
"Bless you, God will bless you, child." An elderly grandma was very happy when she saw the other party taking out the check. The close-up of the actor, the smile came from the heart.
The other actor who plays the role of a nanny is younger, has a pretty face and is very elegant. She wears black and white clothes and a headdress, and has a holy temperament.
Both of them smiled and blessed O'Deme, but O'Deme's hand refused to let go. After all, it was 4 million US dollars.
"Action!"
Ronald pointed the camera at the hands of Mammy and Odme. They were like athletes, pulling a check into their arms. Both actors have some talent in action, so
The pulling and tugging is very realistic. If you look at it from the camera, the audience will definitely feel that the two are really pulling.
"Let go, let go, Odmee." Sam's ghost urged from the side. These are all close-ups that will be shot later.
Grandma looked puzzled as to why this woman was so sad for donating money.
Whoopi Goldberg's acting skills are also very good here. The fake smile at the beginning, and the real distress later, are all fully expressed on that ugly face.
Of course, the so-called truth and pretense are all the feelings of the audience. In fact, it is all performed by Whoopi herself, but her expression is so interesting that it can make the audience think that one is fake and the other is real.
"Oh, oh..." Odeme finally let go. She looked sad, turned around and left.
The camera was still focused on Grandma's hand. The actor seemed really surprised. After Whoopi Goldberg suddenly let go, he made an excessive forceful movement backwards.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Cut!"
After reshooting several reaction shots of the main characters, Ronald filmed Odme's annoyed back gradually walking away. Next, he had to reshoot the scene of the mammy.
"Ah..." After opening the check, the older grandma was startled and almost fell down with a cry, but luckily the young grandma next to her caught her.
"Cut!" Ronald took the lead and applauded the two actors who played the mammies.
"That's great, Mrs. Rubin, Faye..."
Ronald stepped forward and gave flowers to the elderly nanny actor.
"I hope it's not too much of a delay..." Mrs. Rubin, who plays the elderly nanny, is actually screenwriter Bruce Rubin's mother, Sandra Rubin.
Sandra Rubin is an actress who also played the heroine in the critically acclaimed musical "Mary Poppins" on the Detroit stage.
Bruce Rubin mentioned this to Ronald. After interviewing her mother, Ronald found that she was indeed a very good actress and was of the right age, so he agreed to let her play the guest role.
"Oh, I like your performance very much, Mrs. Rubin. Especially the natural reaction of asking for a check. I think most actors are not as natural as you." Ronald naturally added the compliment. This may be Sander.
This is the biggest role in the old lady's life, and it can be seen that she is well prepared.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, director." Sure enough, Mrs. Sandra was filled with joy when she saw that her choreographed and rehearsed moves were praised by Ronald.
"Fei, you are also very good. Have you ever considered officially becoming an actor?" The young nanny was played by none other than Ronald's scriptwriter, Fei Brenner.
Her work is serious and meticulous. The film Ghost has very high requirements for scene notes due to special effects. Thanks to her efforts, there were no irreparable mistakes.
In addition, she had also acted in high school, so Ronald asked her to come up and make a cameo. The work of making movies is hard, the hours are long, and the pay is not high. If they can make one appearance, they can then join the union and put it on their resume.
Adding a line of work experience that can be mentioned is the extra reward Ronald gives to the crew members who perform well.
"Oh, I feel like my heart is still pounding now." This is the first time Faye Brenner has a close-up shot of a few seconds in a large-scale production like a theatrical movie. Although she has no lines, she is already
Very satisfied.
"Okay, let me know if you have any ideas later." Ronald saw that she was still excited, and it seemed that she was not suitable for being a full-time actress.
"Thank you, director, please wait for a few minutes while I go change my clothes..." Fei Brenner still had the job of being a scene recorder, so she quickly ran to the trailer to change out of Mammy's costume.
"Wait, Fei."
Whoopi Goldberg grabbed two extras and asked Patrick Schwytz to take a photo with them. This is the star who has been asked to take a photo with them the most.
Then she came over to Ronald, pretending to be dissatisfied, "And me? Why didn't my performance get praise from the director? Huh? Don't you like my performance?"
"What, you want my praise too?", Ronald took the nun's hat from Fei's head and put it on Whoopi Goldberg's head. If you play a nun, I will give it to you too.
Appropriate praise.”
"Oh, okay...come on..." Whoopi Goldberg covered the nun's hat with one hand and started to act weird.
"Huh?" Ronald suddenly discovered that Whoopi Goldberg wore a nun's costume, which also had a very interesting effect. A nun is peaceful, reserved, and kind. But Whoopi has a kind of self-confidence, extroversion, impulsiveness, and unwillingness
Her plain temperament and two contradictory temperaments have a strange comedic effect on her.
"Maybe you should consider playing a nun..." Ronald touched his chin.
"Really?" Whoopi Goldberg felt funny.
…
The main exterior scenes in New York were almost filmed. The bank scenes were also shot in a bank with an old business hall through Bannon's relationship. In addition, Rudy arranged to open the NYPD offices to the crew.
, can be called the most realistic police drama.
Soon, the filming part of "Ghost" was packed up, the last day's film was sent away, and the crew was disbanded on the spot.
For the cast and crew who wanted to return to Los Angeles, Ronaldo offered to reimburse their air tickets. However, before leaving, everyone went to the Rainbow Room on the 65th floor of Rockefeller Center to hold a party under Ronald's arrangement. There were delicious food and city food there.
Looking at the night view, it just suits Ronald's taste. It's not too ostentatious and there's no mess.
After Ronald showed up and took photos with everyone, he hurried to the apartment on Fifth Avenue to reunite with Helen as soon as possible.
The two have not met for a long time, and they spend time together every day. Ronald especially likes Helen to play and sing for him in front of the piano. Her jazz skills are not enough for public performances, but in a private environment, a beautiful woman is only for you.
People playing for entertainment is a enjoyment that many rich people have no chance to achieve.
"I feel very relaxed and no pressure at all." After listening to two songs, Ronald hugged Helen and sat quietly chatting.
"Well, I'm very relaxed too." Helen leaned her head closer, "Will you endorse Rudy's mayoral campaign? I think you and Douglas Jr. seem to appreciate his policies."
"No, I will not publicly endorse a politician. Of course, I do appreciate his policies. If he were the mayor, we would not have encountered such a crisis in Central Park." Ronald stroked Helen's hand silently.
hand.
"Well, I also appreciate what you said. Maybe I will vote for him this time."
"Hahaha……"
…
Ronald was interviewed by the Daily News, which was also published in the newspaper the next day. Rudy had already made preparations there, cooperating with Douglas Jr. to quietly create a discussion about safety in the New York media.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In recent years, New York's public security has been slipping in an increasingly bad direction. High property taxes cannot bring a safe environment. Many people have complaints.
The good media has counted the number of murders in New York in Hollywood movies and TV series, which has shown a straight-up trend in recent years. The reputation of New York's deteriorating public security has been treated as a tacit fact by movies and TV series.
Not only the wealthy people in Manhattan are easily robbed when they go to Central Park to exercise. The tourism industry, a pillar industry in New York, is also full of complaints. Cases of theft and robberies targeting tourists occur frequently near many shopping areas.
Although Ronald's interview did not say anything bad about New York, nor did he mention the candidates, it had the effect of defining the issue. Suddenly, the most important thing in the New York mayoral race was not racial discrimination, but
This is a countermeasure for the deterioration of public security.
All candidates will be asked this question, and the media is no longer satisfied with simple statements. They want to ask deeper questions about what measures they will take to improve the increasingly bad public security environment if they are elected.
Dinkins, the Donkey Party member, was relatively passive when the media was hyping up the topic of public security. He could only swear time and time again that he would take public security as the first major issue to be improved. Then he immediately changed the subject and led to
Black people are oppressed. The NYPD arrests black and Latino drivers at a much higher rate than white drivers and stops black and Latino drivers on the road.
As for Rudy, there is no better issue than this. Without asking questions from the media, he took action first. As a prosecutor, he joined forces with the NYPD to launch an investigation into Manhattan, especially around the problematic Central Park and tourist destinations.
A special "law and order" operation was launched.
Words are powerless, but actions are powerful. Rudy wants to use his power as a prosecutor to give the citizens of Manhattan a taste of what good things will happen after he is elected mayor.
"Ronald, are you going back to Los Angeles? Okay, let's meet again when we vote in the mayoral election... Then you will come back to vote for me, right? Hahaha..." Rudy's support rate is increasing rapidly
,He is very happy.
Dinkins has always had the support of Brooklyn and the Bronx, and the black people there will vote for him. Rudy also has the support of Staten Island and Queens.
The biggest variable is the median voters in Manhattan. Now that public security has become the most central issue, he hopes to make a comeback here.
"Haha, okay, I will rush back to Staten Island." Ronald promised Rudy with a smile and hung up the phone. His voting registration address is still his old house on Staten Island.
"Beep..." The doorbell rang, and Helen went to open the door. Little Bud's car arrived.
"Ronnie, you have to leave for the airport... Huh?" Helen saw Ronald frowning and watching TV, and turned back to look at the TV.
"After Congress adjourned, it passed the first piece of legislation, the Star-Spangled Banner Act. It was passed by the House and Senate with more than two-thirds of the vote, so it automatically became law without the signature of the president.
But at the same time that the Star-Spangled Banner Act was passed, two people who were dissatisfied with this legislation came to the steps outside the Capitol and burned the Star-Spangled Banner. Please see the scene below..."
