Universal Studios, located in the north of the city of Los Angeles, is world-famous. There is a constant flow of tourists throughout the year. There is almost no difference between peak season and off-season. Not only because it is a theme park like Disney, but also because it is still one of the most important studios in Hollywood.

Currently, Hollywood’s largest and most concentrated studio is located in Burbank, where large studios such as Disney and Warner Bros. have their own dedicated studio areas; the other is Universal Studios.

Here, there are more than forty studios, as well as a series of modern urban city streets, western-style township communities, mountainous rocky open-air shooting venues, which can adapt to a variety of shooting requirements, including "desperate Movies and TV series such as "Housewives", "World War" and "Jaws" are all shot here. Every day, the crew is busy working here. If you are lucky, meeting the top stars here is a matter of minutes.

Those fanatical and loyal film lovers have come to Universal Pictures, crossed the barriers of reality and entered the world of cinema to explore. Especially when watching the scenes on the screen appear vividly in front of your eyes, the confusion between reality and illusion is enough to excite everyone.

"Good morning." Nathan Press greeted him skillfully, then took the daily updated paper pass from the doorman, placed it behind the windshield, and entered the range of Universal Studios.

Nathan slowed down slowly, following the rules and regulations of Universal Studios. For the safety of tourists, vehicles entering the cinema must be restricted. The roar of the engine suddenly became quiet, replaced by the noise of the noisy crowd. On the road next door, a tourist bus full of passengers passed by slowly, and a yelling sound came from it.

"God! God! That's Simon Baker!"

A single voice detonated a chain reaction, and even a series of shouts began to lose control. The screams full of girls' hearts cut through the sky, making the morning sun become hot, and the surroundings were full of vitality.

Nathan couldn’t help but watched everyone’s voices. Although this was the eighth consecutive day they had come to Universal Studios, but honestly, Nathan hadn’t had a chance to see the work of other crews, and even passed it. The actors everywhere have not seen it either. Hearing the shouting, it was inevitable to be a little curious.

Unfortunately, due to the cover of a few big trees, he did not see Simon. The American drama "The Detective" starring Simon was aired two years ago. It successfully won the rookie king of the year. After two seasons, the popularity has remained high. I just don’t know that the crew of "The Detective" is based in the world. For the studio shooting in the movie theater, it was only today that I came to take the shot.

Although he didn't see it, Nathan became excited. It now appears that there are indeed other crews in Universal Studios that are intensively filming here; more importantly, Renly will officially start filming today. Shooting his first scene after entering the crew, this is Nathan's. Once watching Lan Li's performance, he was a little eager to try.

Seven days ago, Lan Li formally entered the "Degree and Excitement/Love 5" crew. Nominally, Lan Li is the third protagonist, but it should be noted that the crew did not change the script, specifically adding weight to Lan Li, only giving Lan Li the treatment of the third protagonist in the promotion position.

If it’s Tom Cruise, even if it’s the third protagonist, the screenwriter will definitely need to modify the script to allow Tom to show up more. Even if Tom doesn’t ask for it at all, the crew will hope to make effective use of Tom’s appeal to fully play the third protagonist. The role of. However, Renly is not Tom.

Therefore, in the first week, Renly did not have any filming tasks.

The reason for entering the crew ahead of time was simple. Lan Li was the last one to be confirmed, and he was far behind the overall progress of the other actors. He had to start from the beginning and catch up.

First, Lan Li must set makeup. From clothing to makeup to style, the overall shape must be determined. It cannot be similar to other people, but it must show Lan Li’s own characteristics, even if this is not "Alice in Wonderland" clothing. It is a work that occupies an important position, but the auxiliary role of the modeling is also indispensable.

Secondly, Lan Li needs to quickly adapt to various equipment, firearms, sports cars and most importantly a stand-in. Previously, the "Degree and Excitement/Love 5" crew was forced to stop during the early stage of filming, but the data of the protagonists such as Paul Walker and Van Diesel have been collected, and now it is the turn of Lanli.

Of course, there is also Lan Li's work as an actor. He needs to adapt to the shooting rhythm of action movies, and also needs to adapt to the shooting mode of large-scale commercial movies

The previous "Buried alive" and "Love Crazy", as a whole, were filmed according to the chronological sequence of the story exhibition clues. The director has a clear concept of the framework and direction of the script, and the actor's performance rhythm can be followed. Yes; but commercial movies are not.

The shooting method of "Degree and Excitement/Emotion 5" is closer to the "Pacific War".

The entire crew will be divided into two to three groups, or even more. Each associate director leads a group. Different groups take different shots. The work site may be completely different, or it may be in the next-door studio; some require the participation of actors. Some do not; the same actor may be shot on the same set for a whole week, or it may be necessary to change three sets to shoot different content within one day.

However, there are many main actors in the "Pacific War", and the filming is essentially based on the story line or character line, while "Degree and Excitement/Emotion 5" is filmed according to the use of the venue, which also makes the performance of the actors more Fragmentation makes it difficult to be coherent.

It is precisely because of this method of shooting that the performance of commercial films often enters two modes: either it is a vase-style performance without acting skills; or it is the same set of performances. Although commercial films have different requirements for acting skills, the audience enters the cinema for excitement, not for watching the acting skills; but it is easy for actors to become a modular product of the assembly line, which is completely reduced to a commodity.

Jennifer Lawrence showed a moving and delicate performance in the "Hunger Games" series.

For Lan Lilly, performance itself is not a problem. To show accurate performance at the correct time is the essence of expressive acting. He can come at his fingertips. However, when performing on stage, actors always have enough brewing time. In the process of commercial film shooting, the director does not give actors time to brew emotions. Therefore, Lan Li needs to adapt to the completely different shooting rhythm, watching the scene and participating in it. This is a good learning process.

From "Pacific War" to "Buried alive" to "Crazy Love", Lan Li has always been studying the methods and depth of performance. This time, he decided to lay down his burdens and enjoy the fun of performance, more accurately, and enjoy The fun of the movie turns the fantasy in my mind into reality, and I experience adventures that I can never experience.

Lan Li spent the first week very fulfillingly, and today, he will usher in his first shooting. For Nathan, this is an absolutely new experience.

"Universal Studios opened so early?" Lan Li spoke from the passenger seat with a lazy voice with a faint nasal voice.

This made Nathan quickly withdraw his sight. It was only a quarter past eight. It was too early. Lan Li didn't seem to have enough sleep at all, so he was sleeping all the time on the way here. It seems that the noise of the tourists just woke him up.

"Yes, the opening time of the park here is different every day. Today it opens at 8 o'clock." In order to ensure the smooth progress of the work, Nathan did a lot of preparatory work, including the information that seemed to be of no use.

For example, the opening and closing time of Universal Studios is actually different every day. Sometimes it opens at 8 o'clock, but sometimes it has to wait until 10 o'clock. If it’s a special trip, it’s better to be in advance. Check the time.

Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth to express understanding, but couldn't help but yawned. Today, the start-up work time notified by the crew is 8:30. The first scene is not Lan Li, but in order to get into the state as soon as possible, Lan Li still arrives at the scene on time according to everyone's working hours.

Rubbing his eyes, the spirit gradually came to my senses~www.novelhall.com~ In fact, Lan Li has never visited Universal Studios before. He has now finished shooting three works, and his curiosity about the set has calmed down, and the attraction of Universal Studios has naturally declined. However, when he heard the excitement of the tourists, he still Can empathize.

Even as an actor, deep down, he is still a loyal movie fan and an avid movie lover.

The hustle and bustle of the tour bus drove along the road in the other direction, drifting away; Nathan hit the steering wheel and drove in the other direction, directly in the direction of the studio.

The main roles of "Degree and Excitement/Love 5" were actually born in Rio de Janeiro, because the movie started with a prison robbery, Dominic and Brian both became wanted criminals, and could only abscond to Rio de Janeiro. However, the crew intends that all outdoor scenes will be filmed on site, while those indoor scenes without landmark scenes will be filmed in Los Angeles.

In comparison, Los Angeles has better shooting equipment and more professional staff, which not only makes work progress smoother, but also saves costs. More importantly, Rio de Janeiro’s official forces and gangster forces are intricately intertwined, and all joints must be made to shoot there, otherwise it is very likely that there will be no return.

Up to now, the film crew has not gotten the permission to film in Rio de Janeiro, that's why. Even large film companies like Universal Pictures cannot avoid it.

The car gradually slowed down, and the studio was close in front of him, but Nathan looked at the parking lot outside the studio with a look of surprise, and then looked at Lan Li strangely, with a puzzled expression on his face:

Because the entire parking lot was empty, with no cars.
