Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

In recent years, the abyss of war, the crisis of faith, the shock of the economy, and the confusion of the rebellious generation have become the panic deep in the hearts of this generation of people.

Whether it is the Cold War or the honeymoon, whether it is the United States or the world, in fact, every region and everyone is inevitably shrouded in the terrible shadow of the unknown future.

At the same time, a new Hollywood movie full of rebellious wild sparks was born.

But now, those crises under the calm waters seem to have slowed down with the changes in the upper-level policies.

Ever since, the traditional theme of "Jaws", which marks Hollywood's "great ordinary people", has emerged again.

From what Kubrick said before, Su Yun knew from the very beginning that Spielberg didn't really like this "Jaws" that would make him famous and rich in the future - because he once had What is more important is to be an artist's dream, not to seek fame and fortune, so as to make one after another assembly line movie just for making money.

After all, he is still a young man, and he has a bit of aloofness that regards money as dung.

However, Qing Gao has to bow his head under the pressure of money, so Spielberg devoted himself to the shooting of "Jaws" for Universal's promise of "you can shoot whatever you want after this movie is finished".

Reluctant personnel coupled with inadequate technology, coupled with a lack of corresponding model-making knowledge, continuous model water failures, and difficulties in cleaning up surrounding personnel have led to a vicious circle of multiple reshoots, and finally there will inevitably be The two endings are the continuous lengthening of the shooting cycle and the gradual increase of the film budget.

After finally surviving the crisis of capital and technology, it is now in a stable period. Su Yun believes that any constructive suggestion should be easily adopted by Spielberg.

Moreover, the original purely commercial adventure thriller of "ordinary people" has added an enduring environmental protection core, which is also consistent with his original idea of ​​not being willing to shoot commercial films purely for making money.

Therefore, after discussing with Su Yun in detail, Spielberg added this small detail in the script.

Regarding the supplement of this detail, the evaluation of later generations is: great people with long-term and accurate vision will always have compassion and fear for everything, while those villains who are busy with dogs only care about immediate interests and ignore A warning to future generations.

What is being ridiculed is some brain-damaged people who have caused trivial things to become huge catastrophes for the sake of profit, and are unwilling to admit, apologize, and make up for it. They just want to drag the whole world into the water and suffer together.

Of course, Su Yun and others at this time have not yet realized that the reality of future generations is more "exciting" than fictional stories.

Now, as Spielberg begins to rearrange the plot and details of the script because he has enough funding, one naysayer has jumped out.

"I admit that Su's details are well added, but I don't agree with the modification of the ending." The speaker was Peter Benchley, the author of the original novel of "Jaws". In the film, he played a cameo role as a TV reporter reporting on the grand occasion on the beach, and he has experienced the addiction of witnessing his own text stories will soon be turned into motion pictures.

"Since you guys can't impress Gregory Peck, the original ending tribute plot shouldn't be modified—otherwise it's a blasphemy to the work!" Benchley immediately showed his dissatisfaction after reading the revised ending. meaning.

"But this modified ending has a explosive point, which can better catch the audience." Spielberg explained patiently.

Benchley adjusted his glasses: "So? The breaking point is the so-called great white shark being headshot by a gas cylinder? This is completely unrealistic!"

"But the film is born out of reality and divorced from reality." Su Yun interjected: Ask yourself, she prefers Spielberg's revised ending-whether as an audience or as a film practitioner, the atmosphere is different. The audio-visual stimulation of the bottle headshot is definitely more eye-catching than the blandness of the slow blood loss.

Perhaps from the text, you can feel the panic and hope ignited as time goes by; but in a movie that is positioned as commercial, a dramatic and visually impactful ending is the best. Enjoy the ending.

Undoubtedly, even though Spielberg started with reluctance, he immediately used his keen business sense to make corresponding changes to the story of the script after he officially got started; The author Benchley's insistence on laymen commanding experts has become an obstacle holding back.

Therefore, people who have always maintained a gentle personality must not be underestimated, because once these people get angry, they will be more fierce than those who usually have a bad temper.

This round of controversy ended with Benchley being "invited" to leave the shooting scene.

Seeing Spielberg's sudden transformation from a moderate to a tyrant, Su Yun also sighed silently: This is exactly the same power operation that does not agree or get out. Even if their personalities are completely different, they can still chat together...

In private, Ganqing is an absolute control psychology that cannot be questioned.

As for the great success of the film, Benchley, who was asked to leave the shooting scene, said in an interview that the revised ending was very exciting. The argument at that time was that he had a somewhat narrow ending, and that will be a later story.

On the other hand, Spielberg's affection for Su Yun has increased a lot: there are not many people who can agree with him spiritually, not to mention that Su Yun still studied under his idol and helped solve the crew. A small genius and a small gold master with financial problems.

Originally, being friends with local tyrants is something that people flock to, and Su Yun is still his "ideal type": when Spielberg was young, he fantasized that he would be a genius in the future, and his dream was to be a young genius director. Unfortunately, It turned out to be the opposite - when he filmed the award-winning "Rampage" in Cannes, he was already 28 years old, which he didn't want to mention.

And there are gossip that he deliberately changed his age by 2 or 3 years in order to make himself appear young and promising.

Su Yun was actually quite at a loss when she ate this melon: It turns out that apart from celebrities who would change their age for various reasons, directors also like to make such operations convenient and awkward?

Regarding this question, Spielberg didn't say anything: because compared to Su Yun who already had an Oscar in his hands and gained both fame and fortune at a young age, he now has to deal with difficult sharks and dislikes for the sake of food. Passionate about work.

It doesn't matter, if you can't become the person you want to be the most, being friends with the person you want to be the most is almost the same...

Therefore, whether Spielberg, an adult with a childlike innocence or an over-mature old urchin, is the most unassuming collaborator when facing Su Yun.In addition to letting her learn this and that by her side, she was "excessively" let go of the dominance of the second film crew, forcing her to get the right to be an assistant director or even an assistant director at an early age.

This kind of coquettish operation naturally attracted people's thoughts.

However, thinking of the reality that Spielberg basically did it by himself most of the time, and the second camera team was only assisted by the side, he just turned a blind eye and let him go.

Although the beach is full of sunshine in June, the actual temperature is only about 6 degrees Celsius, which is very cool.

Coupled with a large number of extras on the beach wearing only swimsuits to shoot summer beach scenes, it is even more chilling.

Su Yun looked at Tom who put the blanket aside and was wearing only a pair of red swimming trunks, and asked with concern, "How is it? Can you bear it?"

"No problem." Tom warmed up and set off to take his seat.

The plot of this scene is the scene of people running from the sea to the shore in panic after discovering the great white shark appeared and hunting humans, and the unlucky ghost who was killed by the great white shark to make an example of others is the little boy played by Tom.

So let him wear a pair of red underpants—a display of youth and vigor as well as a hint of violence and danger.

Anyway, Su Yun took a lot of emoticons of him shivering from the cold and his shy face after taking off the blanket because he was wearing "cool" clothes: a real good friend is to professionally record all the things that the other party will never want to recall black history...

As for the extras who are also dressed coolly, a large part of it is that local people who love to watch are invited with a lot of money.

This is the suggestion of Su Yun, who has experienced the difficulty of clearing the scene when making movies in Xiangjiang. She follows the principle of letting them join if they can’t beat them: Don’t you guys like to watch, and you can’t be driven away so that you always enter the scene and affect the shooting? ?

Let you also become a part of the camera!

Under the temptation of the high salary of 64 US dollars per person, the group of onlookers was gathered into extras.

To be honest, it’s quite an advantage, because a large part of the onlookers are local fishermen who rely on the ocean for their livelihood, and they have a higher tolerance for cold sea water than ordinary extras, and most of the fun in the water is done by them—although they never When the sea ran ashore, the distorted expressions on most of the actors' faces were not entirely acted out.

Probably only by empathizing with the difficulties of being an actor can those onlookers truly empathize, and no longer always unconsciously hinder the filming.

It was rare to successfully complete the filming of this episode, so Su Yun hurriedly took a blanket to meet Tom who had been "eaten" by the great white shark in the episode.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Besides the blanket, Su Yun also brought him a cup of hot cocoa.

Although Tom expressed that he was fine many times while drinking hot cocoa, Su Yun, who was worried, took Tom back to her room for a rest: at Tom’s level, it was obviously a big room where he lived with several other adults. , So Su Yun took him to her single room to rest, and generously gave up her bed, and she slept on the small sofa next to her tonight.

After all, his stepfather Seth will come over to pick him up at the appointment tomorrow. If something goes wrong with Tom not recovering well, it will be contrary to her promise to take care of Tom.

Throwing Tom under the covers, she even brought the dinner by the way. In short, until Seth arrives tomorrow, Tom won't even think about getting out of bed and jumping around.

"I'm healthy, I don't need to rest!" Tom protested faintly from under the quilt.

"Every patient said that before he got sick." Su Yun packed up the knives, forks and dishes, then continued to hold him down and stuffed him into the quilt, as usual, "We are good friends, and I also promised to take care of you - if something goes wrong with you, I won't be able to explain it to Uncle Seth."

Tom struggled to reveal his little golden head under the pressure of the quilt: "Then, are we better friends than the friend you call every night?"

"How do you know that I call every day?" Su Yun was a little stunned: Because it is a tourist attraction hotel, there is a telephone that can make international long-distance calls at the stairs.

Considering the time difference and working hours, Su Yun chose to call at night to chat with Xiangjiang's family members who were in the daytime about the situation on both sides.

"I got up at night and there was no water in the kettle. I saw it when I was going to get a cup from the tap downstairs." Tom said with a dark face.

Seeing his preoccupation, Su Yun helped her forehead a little helplessly: So, don't think that there is no struggle between children - because sometimes, children's desire to monopolize good friends is far stronger than that of men and women. The desire for dominance between them is stronger.

"Don't worry, you are my best friend." Because the people over there are all family members, and the nature is fundamentally different.

Unaware that he was slipped by the coquettish operation in Su Yun's words, Tom, who thought he had got a satisfactory answer, fell asleep very relieved.

Another moonless summer night.

After listening to Wang Jiayun's words, Granny Su's spirits are particularly good recently, and he and his younger brother's music scores have also improved significantly. Su Yun hugged the phone and chatted happily.

When she hung up the phone contentedly and was about to sneak back to the room, she inadvertently raised her head, which made her stop on the spot.

What to say?

Under the slanting light of the bluish-white moonlight, Tom stood at the top of the stairs and looked down from top to bottom. It was as if he saw a heartless person who was eating the bowl and looking at the pot.
