Rebirth In Hollywood

The cool sea breeze blew away the darkness of the night and stirred up countless fine waves. When the morning sun crossed the horizon and landed on the golden sandy beach, the temporary camp turned from silence to boiling, and people got out of the tent. Each crew member, under the command of the assistant director, started a busy day.

The crew was sorting out the sets and preparing the props, and two members from the Fiji Environmental Protection Organization kept loudly reminding them to prevent these guys from Hollywood from harming every plant and tree on the island.

In the open space next to the beach, a huge temporary studio was set up, and next to the studio was a tent that served as the actor's dressing room.

This tent is not big, because the total number of actors in the crew is only one and a half, one is Ryan, and the other half is a volleyball.

Ryan quickly changed into the costume, a rag wrapped around his waist, and then sat in front of the makeup mirror, letting the makeup artist turn his long hair into a messy bird's nest.

Several make-up artists acted at the same time, and some people smeared his face and body. After a short time, his muscular body turned into a dirty savage, and the most tedious work was on his chin and temples. Above, covered with that thick fake beard like weeds.

Even though these are all the makeup masters in Hollywood, it took nearly two hours to finish all this.

"I look more like Tarzan than a modern-day Robinson on a desert island."

Ryan stood up and bent his arms in front of the mirror, his strong muscles were sharp and angular, "We may be able to shoot a modern version of Tarzan."

"Ryan, Robert has been waiting impatiently." George reminded helplessly.

"Okay, let's go out."

By the woods next to the beach, several cameras mounted on slide rails have already been prepared. The set and the supporting role, Mr. Wilson, stood quietly aside, and all kinds of tree props looked no different from the woods next to it.

Ready to be filmed is Chuck logging and building a raft. The scene of preparing to leave the desert island. Due to the owner of the island and those environmentalists, it is impossible for the crew to let Ryan harm the coconut trees and bushes. Had to make a lot of temporary props.

"Ryan, I have to remind you, we have to catch up!" Robert Zemeckis showed the authority of the director.

"I understand, Robert. I promised you yesterday that I will definitely get back to my status today." In the crew, Ryan still maintains the director's prestige, and his release plan,

Gave Robert? Zemeckis great pressure.

"Mr. Jenkins, and Director Zemeckis." The member of the environmental protection organization named Helen came over suddenly. "I read the script, you will use fire below, please be prepared for the fire to get out of control."

"Actually, we have already prepared it." The person in charge of the props group pointed to the fire-fighting team with ten people.

The crew didn't have much time to delay. Quickly entered the shooting state.

Looking around from several cameras, Ryan is like a savage who has just returned from primitive society. On the smaller shrubs, the tough bark is peeled off and made into ropes.

There are not many lines in these scenes, and there are very few close-ups. Robert Zemeckis deliberately selected them so that Ryan can get back to his state quickly.

It has been several months since the last filming, and even the best actors cannot immediately regain the feeling of the role.

Ryan didn't make the director and the crew wait too long. After another day of filming fragmentary shots, his performance has improved significantly compared to when he first arrived, and Robert Zemeckis also brought the whole team into the In the temporary studio, I started shooting some shots in the cave.

"The first act of the forty-fifth game begins now!"

In the dark cave, Ryan bent over, took the rope from the cliff, walked to the only companion, squatted down slowly, and dangled in front of the volleyball with the rope.

"I got it, and it's here." His mood was obviously depressed, "I got it, are you happy?"

The only companion who would never speak, remained silent.

Turning around, Ryan took dry branches, fiddled with the original fire pit, and added some fuel. The fire gradually brightened, and he squinted at his partner behind him.

"You have to keep mentioning it, can't you forget it?" His voice was unusually low, "Huh? You're right! We have to keep trying. Fortunately, we tried, because it avoided death."

He held a thin branch and kept stirring the bonfire, as if he was talking to the volleyball behind him, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Then I will fall on the stone, and my legs, back or neck will fall, slowly Howled to death, that was my only option? When was that, years ago? Forget it, let’s just forget about it.”

As he said that, he turned his head and stared at Wilson blankly, "Do you have any objections? Oh... Maybe we will succeed, haven't you ever thought about it like this? Anyway, I would rather take an adventure at sea, I don’t want to stay on this deserted island and wait to die!”

However, his companion will never speak, never give advice, he is always talking to himself, maybe it is the suppressed negative emotions that have been accumulated for several years, which suddenly broke out at this moment.

His messy head like a bird's nest was pressed against the dry red face on the volleyball, excited like a wild man, and his voice became higher and higher, "I don't want to have to talk to a jerk volleyball for the rest of my life!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up his only companion and kicked it out of the cave, "You fucking shut up at last!"

After gasping for a few breaths, he finally calmed down, and immediately realized something was wrong, turned his head and shouted in the direction of the cave, "Wilson!"

When the passing sound came from behind the camera, the lights of the studio turned on instantly. Ryan was still sitting on the rock made of plastic, breathing the slightly humid air evenly, and slowly adjusting his emotions.

This long shot with the volleyball has been performed more than ten times. Although this performance is not physically exhausting, it is extremely exhausting.

This process of only playing against volleyball is really painful, especially when he wants to use his performance to bring alive a 'supporting role' who has no expression and can't speak.

The entire crew almost revolved around this beach. Sometimes Ryan came to the state, and working overtime would become the norm. Although many night scenes were moved to daytime shooting, for the increasingly powerful film technology, post-production It's not difficult at all to change the background back to night.

Since Ryan is the only real actor, as long as his condition can be guaranteed, the shooting speed will be very fast. The actual progress of the crew has also exceeded Robert Zemeckis' expectations, but he dare not relax at all. The various tasks of the crew are extremely strict.

No one knew Ryan's thoughts better than him. This movie was obviously aimed at the Oscars. Although it won a Best Director Oscar, who wouldn't want to win a second one? Even next year will face a strong opponent.

Combining work and rest is the kingly way. Ryan knows this very well. Even if the crew is busy with work, he will not skip the vacation at all. He doesn't want himself to become James Cameron's style.

Fiji is located in the South Pacific region and is a famous tourist destination. It is also close to Australia and New Zealand. During vacations, the crew will always play around, and the relaxation will bring more significant work efficiency.

Ryan stayed on the island, although James Cameron, who was diving near the Mariana Trench, called to invite him, but Ryan refused.

I don't want to be surrounded by people as a savage when I go out. Ryan was wearing a light brown bird's nest, and his naked upper body had already been tanned. At first glance, he looked like Tarzan the Ape.

Besides, he was under a tight schedule, with two scripts to finish as quickly as possible, and some errands over the satellite phone.

This is a bumper summer season. After two months of accumulation, the North American box office of "A Bug's Life" has finally passed the 200 million US dollar mark. Pixar Studios has completely overwhelmed the Disney Animation Department. Lasseter and others are more confident, and they are full of expectations for the release of "Toy Story 2" next year.

And "Ghost", which was dismissed as rubbish by countless people, has a box office figure of more than 100 million U.S. dollars. Although the number of viewers has dropped sharply and it is facing the danger of being canceled early, the money that is distributed is enough for Ryan to pay for Nicole. Queensland bought a large area of ​​beautiful farms.

And "Jurassic Park: The Lost World," which was approaching $250 million in North America when Universal Pictures' Ron Mayer called.

"Ron, I understand what you think." Ryan was unmoved by his proposal, "but I don't think it's a wise choice to start the third part of "Jurassic Park" now. I will be in charge of the director again, and if the time interval between the two films is too short, it will bring about unexpected changes, we should take a longer view."

"Yes, temporarily stranded. We must maintain the influence of this brand. Now the film technology is developing too fast. We have to wait for the new technology to mature before launching the third film."

After hanging up the phone, Ryan rubbed his forehead. According to his plan, the next "Jurassic Park" will be a 3D movie.

Well, 3D is still early. After all, one of the key figures of the new 3D technology is diving in the Mariana Trench. I hope the truck driver will not be swallowed by the prehistoric octopus hidden deep in the sea.

Thinking boredly, Ryan walked towards the small pier on the island. The people who came to visit the class were about to arrive. They might scare away when they saw his savage appearance. ()
