Chapter 474 Jesus Is Tortured Chapter 475 The Unexpected Arrival(2/3)
It was Bilado who released Barabah again and announced that he would crucify Jeremy.
The shooting location of this scene was extremely difficult. Although I wanted to finish the filming in a short time, physical injuries were really not allowed.
The scene where Ye was sentenced to death and was sentenced to crucifixion was filmed for more than a week, and then everyone insisted on letting me cultivate for nearly a week. By the end of April, "The Book of the Passion" was more than half completed, and what was left was the climax of the whole drama: showing the scene where Ye Ye walked to the execution ground with his cross on his back and was finally crucified.
This scene is undoubtedly the most important part of the whole movie, and it is also a story that has been widely sung for thousands of years. For such a scene, I also want to adjust it physically and mentally. Because I know that this scene will be a more tempered drama than being punished!
During my time in cultivation, Stiller and the others were not idle, but led the crew to rehearse a long distance from the small square in the center of Ensenada town to a high cliff in the back mountain, striving to be perfect when the filming was officially started.
At the end of 4, a message came from the factory that made me feel deeply relieved.
Stenberg's "The Underclass" was released.
The theme of this movie is somewhat similar to "People Who Seek Help". Stenberg's attention to the lower class people is his usual rule. This movie does not show a colorful and vain world, but focuses on the daily lives of the people at the bottom. People in the movie take risks for life, and the content of the story takes two young people as robbers as the main line, and uses their lives as the basis to show the living status of the entire class.
This movie by Stenberg is the first film in Hollywood history to officially show robbers and take them as the protagonists. He portrays the image of the robbers. It is completely positive and heroic. They dare to resist the society and dare to pick up guns to fight for their own freedom and survival, and they are not afraid even if they fight with the police.
Before the movie was released, many people thought it was definitely a tragedy. But as soon as the movie was released, everyone found that their original guess was wrong. This movie was contrary to the norm of Hollywood movies. It portrayed the robbers into heroes and the police into robbers. In the end, two young people killed the police in a gun battle and fled in a panic, while the two whistled and boarded the train that was driving away.
"The Lower Society" has been greatly welcomed. This era is an era when the people need to vent. The strong desires that are revealed in the movie are as fierce as their appetite. Especially when they see the police being beaten and fleeing like dogs, almost everyone is excited.
This movie gave the people a breath. According to Gans, there are a long line of ticket buying queues in 4,300 cinemas in DreamWorks. Now in every cafe in Los Angeles, people are talking about this movie. People regard the two young people in the movie as their heroes, and they call these two young people "our good guys!".
Many young people in society imitate the appearance of two young people in movies, wearing the same clothes as them, and trooping to trouble the police in groups. The police who are usually arrogant become extremely tame. When they see young people, they dare not shout like before. The public security atmosphere of Los Angeles suddenly improved a lot.
"The Lower Society" gave the people a sigh of relief. Although it was just a movie, they felt a victory in their spirit, so they gave this movie a very high evaluation of both ordinary people and authoritative filmmakers.
The Los Angeles Times said: "The Lower Society will definitely be a movie that has been recorded in the history of Hollywood movies. This movie creates a movie narrative pattern and style that is different from any other theme in the past. This movie, for the first time, sings the 'robber', positively establishes the glorious image of two young people, and suddenly shatters our usual mentality for decades. This mentality is that all robbers are bad people. It allows us to see how ridiculous this understanding of two is that we see a lot of excellent things in these two 'robbers', and those things are exactly what our era needs."
"Dreamworks Film Company has shown us hope and the light of the world. This is their value. It is also the value of this movie."
The Hollywood Times even made a whole page for "The Lower Society", and they gave the film a very high evaluation.
"Since "The People Who Call for Help", this simple and fresh film that focuses on the people's livelihood in the lower class has become extremely precious among all Hollywood movies. We see this realisticism created by DreamWorks.
A large number of films that have influenced Hollywood in the United States have greatly changed the state of false singing and dancing prosperity, allowing Hollywood filmmakers to understand the responsibility of movies and the responsibility of filmmakers. We must also see that this realistic tradition with dreamworks characteristics pioneered by Hollywood in the United States has now gained a higher status in the European film industry than in Hollywood. Whether in France or Germany, whether in Italy, or in the United Kingdom, Hollywood's realist tradition has been greatly promoted and praised, especially in Italy, this film style has even been regarded as the highest criterion!”
"The people who originally shrouded in Europe who treated movies as games and movies as daydreams were deeply shocked by this realistic film. "People Who Called for Help" has been screened in almost all European countries and has been prosperous so far. This phenomenon shows that this film style is deeply rooted in people's hearts."
"We see. The DreamWorks Film Company, which is the birthplace of this realism, this time, directed by Stenborough, perfectly inherits the pioneering realism tradition of "People in the Way of Help", and unfolds a living world for us. We only think there are too few movies like this!"
"The Lower Society is a little less of Mr. Corleone's color than the People Who Call for Help. This is a pity, but we find that there are also many more Stenberg-style film styles, which makes us very happy. Through this movie, we find that the personal styles of the directors of DreamWorks have gradually formed, which we can see not only in Stenberg today. We can also see in Stiller and Munau. Mr. Stenberg's attention to the lower class and the people on the margins, Mr. Munau's unique and profound religious realm, and Mr. Stiller's unique grasp of the story structure of the film. These directors who were originally shrouded in Mr. Corleone's brilliant light finally revealed their own talents."
"The Lower Society is a successful. It has successfully inherited a tradition and carried it forward. This tradition is exactly what Hollywood and even the entire world movies lack! This rare and valuable persistence. It seems that in Hollywood, only DreamWorks can calm down and do it."
The Hollywood Times' evaluation of "The Lower Society" is extremely high. At the same time, it also sounded a wake-up call for Hollywood filmmakers. I still appreciate their statements and the practice of analyzing problems from the global perspective of world movies.
The great success of "The Underclass" has made the Los Angeles media extremely excited.
The Los Angeles Tribune pointed out: "A while ago, "Love Letter" was a great success in the "Love Letter" written by Mr. Corleon, which was silent for several months. Not long ago, the first movie produced by DreamWorks, Mr. Dunar's "Crew" sounded the loud horn of DreamWorks this year. This movie was also successful. With its profound reflection on society, we can see the consistent power and responsibility of DreamWorks movies! Today, Mr. Stenborough's "The Underclass" is like a heavy hammer. It sounded the mute bell in our hearts. The success of this movie makes us sigh."
"We see that from "Love Letter" to "Crew" to "The Underclass Society", they are like teams of cavalrymen, appearing on stage, making us dazzled. They raise our emotions little by little. We always hope to see more and more excellent movies, and we hope that after watching these cavalrymen, we can see the glorious commander!"
"In another month or two, Hollywood will usher in a movie schedule war. In this war, all major film companies will focus on launching their masterpieces in the first half of the year. For us, what we most hope is of course the commander who will appear in the next stage of the cavalry of DreamWorks, Mr. Corleon's "The Passion of Jesus", when will it premiere?"
In addition to the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Tribune, other newspapers have also made large reports.
However, among the newspapers sent by Gans, the one that made me laugh the most was the issue of "Citizens' Newspaper".
Gans said that this issue of Citizens' newspaper was almost awesome, and for a while it almost threw Los Angeles into a crazy situation.
In this issue of the newspaper, we are doing a related report on "The Passion of Jesus".
An interview with Stiller and Murnau was published above, and they briefly mentioned the shooting situation of "The Passion of Jeremy". There are also many pictures on it, most of which are stills from filming, many of which are my miserable situations.
And the above text like dried tofu almost made me jump out of the bed.
The content of this text reports the news that I was injured and bedridden when filming, and there are photos of me lying on the bed!
"Stiller! Muno! Come in!" I shouted at the outside, and Stiller and Muno, who had just returned from outside, ran in panting.
"What's going on with this report?! It's a stump that someone sneaked into our crew!" I asked with the newspaper in my hand.
Stiller and Munau were stunned for a moment, then came over to look at the content above, laughing.
"Where is anyone sneaking in? I took this photo and we did the interview. You are recuperating, so we don't want to disturb you for such a small thing." Stiller said with a smile on his face.
"A small matter!? Is this a small matter?? My injury is a secret, how can I leak it out?" I gave Stiller a blank look. I was very dissatisfied with his approach of taking action first and then reporting.
"Besides, I took my photos so ugly! Now your boss's glorious image collapsed with a bang?" I pointed to the photo of me wrapped in bandages on it and shouted.
Holkina giggled beside her.
Stiller immediately pointed to Munau next to him and said, "Boss, this camera is Munau's camera. When I took a photo, I said that his camera was not good. He insisted that I use it."
As expected, Stiller, a bitch, really shirked responsibility.
Munau swung his slap and slapped Still's bald head, slapping and scolding: "When did I ask you to use my camera? You, a bitch, are you, the one who raises you to get the land by yourself!"
"Okay, OK, stop arguing, it will make me a headache." I put down the newspaper and sighed.
Stiller took advantage of the situation and ran over and said, "Boss, you don't know. After I heard Gans say that this issue of the newspaper was published, it immediately aroused the curiosity of all the audiences in Los Angeles. They are now eager for this movie. And the news of your injury makes them very worried. Many people send things to the company. There are all places to send, and the company's gatekeeper is about to be filled with these things. Boss. This is a good thing."
I walked down from the bed and limped to the balcony outside. It was cloudy outside. There were thick clouds piled up in the sky, and the sunlight leaked from these clouds.
From a distance, you can see it all on the undulating hillsides. There are small mud buildings on the hillsides. Further away is the towering cliff, which is extremely steep on three sides. Only one side is a gentle slope. It can be used to get up.
There, it was the last shot
Place above the cross.
"Stiller, have you sent someone to fill the explosives on that cliff?" I turned around and asked in a low voice.
Stiller and Munau looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Boss, I and the people from the blasting team have studied for several days and have formulated a blasting plan based on the structure of the cliff, but we are worried." Stiller scratched his head and said.
In the movie, after Jesus died, God was angry and raised his hand to destroy the Jewish temple, causing the cliffs that were tortured to collapse. Of course, we can only complete these supernatural forces with explosives.
"Are you worried that if your plan is not good, it will also smash the people who act on the cliff?" I smiled.
Stiller smacked his lips and said, "We put all the explosives on the bottom and side walls of the cliff, so once the blast explodes, the cliff will collapse. At that time, you, Sister Maria, Julie, Valente and several other actors are all on it. It is unlikely to blow you up and smash you directly, but no one knows what kind of scene will happen once you detonate so many explosives. Even if you don't blow you up, the gravel may bury you! Boss, this is a very dangerous shot, and may lose your life!"
Stiller's words made Holgina and others' faces suddenly become solemn. I looked at the cliff in the distance and became silent.
Stiller said it was not exaggerating at all. There were so many eyes loaded under the cliff. Once this was detonated, it was very likely that the people above would be blown away or buried under a stone.
"Boss, what I worry most is that you, Julie, Sister Maria, Valent and the others are fine. After all, if an accident occurs, they can run and avoid it, but you are different. At that time, you were crucified, which means that once an explosion occurs, you will not be able to move at all!" Stiller said with concern.
"So boss, we think this scene needs to be rescheduled." Muno honestly explained their intentions.
"How to re-arrange it?" I turned around and smiled.
Stiller grinned: "Monau and I agreed that when the explosion, we would cancel the shots of Maria, Roman soldiers and others on the cliff, showing different expressions of Maria, Roman soldiers and others. In addition, use a dummy instead of you, and all shots are taken at the distance camera at the foot of the mountain."
"No! Absolutely no!" I denied Stiller and Murnau's proposal without thinking.
Just kidding, this moment is the time when God’s power is best to be shown. If this series of shots is cancelled and the shooting is far away from the mountain, it is safe, but the expressiveness of the picture is completely reduced. This is not my original movie at all.
Seeing that I firmly disagree, Stiller and Munau sighed at the same time, as if they had expected this proposal to be rejected by me.
"Boss, then there is only one way left." Muno looked at me, with no expression on his face.
"What's the solution?" I asked.
Stiller continued: "Use a stuntman."
What Stiller said is so common in Hollywood. Not to mention the big stars, even some slightly well-known actors will let themselves take the initiative when filming more dangerous scenes.
If I used a stand-in for this scene, no one would have condemned me, but I could not have done so.
"Your method is not good either." I gave Stiller a blank look.
"Why not!" Stiller shouted.
"Because this is not the tradition of our dream factory!" I also yelled.
"We have made so many movies in DreamWorks. Except for Jack who was a stand-in when I was sick without my consent when I was sick, who has used a stand-in in a movie??"
My words made both Stiller and Munau lower their heads.
"I'm in danger when I go up, then there's no danger when I go on a substitute!" I sat on the chair and said angrily: "You should treat this movie as a test of me. What I want you to know is that this test was a long time ago. So I'm sure there will be no accidents. And if you use a substitute, it's a blasphemy to God. I will never do such a thing. Just say that. Filming will start tomorrow."
"Shooting tomorrow! Boss. Your ground injury has not healed yet!" Stiller shook his head like a rattle.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I have been recuperating for so many days. I can guarantee that I can't die. I don't know how many months it will take to heal. Besides, I'll have to do it naturally after I have a little bit of it."
Stiller and Munau looked at each other and nodded and went out.
Holkina gave me a fierce look next to me and said angrily: "You are just a movie maniac!"
The next morning, I woke up. But I was not awakened by myself, but by the sounds outside.
I got up from the bed and just tried my best to put on my clothes when the door of the room was kicked open rudely.
"I'm not thinking about it anymore! I dare to kick my door! I don't know how to use my hands if I stumped..." I stood up and walked over while cursing, but before I finished cursing, I was stunned.
Because I saw a very familiar face.
"Heidi?! Why are you here??" I stuck out my tongue when I saw her.
It seems that I am sleeping in Hollywood and in the United States, Heidi is probably the only one who dares to kick my door in.
"Not only me, but everyone else is here!" Heidi rolled her eyes angrily, then walked over and twisted the lights in my room.
