1403 Field shooting
In the script written by Damien Chazerre, a top music school called Shelfer College is fictional, but it is actually the Juilliard School in real life. It is currently one of the top professional music theaters in North America and even the world. The golden sign is the biggest business card.
In order to truly present the style of Shelfer College, Damien tried to communicate with the Juilliard School, hoping that the crew could complete the on-site shooting work in the academy.
Unexpectedly but reasonable, after Juilliard's School of Music learned that this was an independent work starring Renly Hall, it generously turned on the green light and allowed the crew to enter the college teaching building to complete all the shooting. It was summer vacation, and although some students were still studying in the college, most of the students were on vacation, which also provided convenient conditions for crew shooting.
But because it was summer vacation, filming at Lincoln Center became impossible. Summer is the most dense, lively and busiest season. All performances were scheduled for half a year or even longer. Even if Andre Hamilton took the initiative in person, he could not make an appointment to the venue.
Fortunately, the Juilliard Student Union actively completed the arrangements.
The Alice Talley Hall of Lincoln Center is the center venue of the Chamber Music Association and the New York Film Festival. It is located inside the Juilliard School and serves as a student's performance venue for many years. A small number of the venues can be adjusted. In addition, the rehearsals can also be temporarily changed.
After a series of rescheduling, the crew of "Explosive Drummer" got three days of filming time, not including the evening. This is already very, very rare for the crew, and all problems are solved.
For Damien, this is unimaginable. Relying on a name alone, just like a business card, can solve most problems without any hindrance, without even spending too much time and energy, and the expenditure of money has been reduced to an acceptable range.
More importantly, he was originally worried that Juilliard would refuse because the story in "Breaking Drummer" twisted the image of jazz and teacher into darkness. The drummer Peter Erskine, who was about to dubb the scenes of Lanley, had a lot of complaints about Damien's script, not to mention that Shelfer School is an allusion to the real Juilliard?
But, they didn't. Not only did they not, but they also opened the door.
No wonder those big-name actors are still so popular in the independent film circle, even if their target market is not box office at all. The integration of resources, the expansion of connections, and the authority of fame are all added value that cannot be measured by money. Even art must exist based on life.
Rooney, Paul and Ryan walked into the Juilliard School's architecture that blended postmodernism and annexed Victorian style. The traces of a century of time are almost impossible to find, full of modern and contemporary simplicity and neat atmosphere, and every corner can capture the texture of the city of New York.
But what is wonderful is that the prosperity and noisy of Manhattan seem to be completely isolated, as if only one door is needed to enter and exit to enter a completely different world. There is an indescribable classical aura flowing in the air, elegant and profound, quiet and far-reaching, inaccurate, but it makes people feel comfortable.
Maybe it was the small key chain hanging on the student locker, maybe it was the rehearsal room where there was no one but full of musical instruments, maybe it was the sound of violin coming from the corner upstairs, or maybe it was the information about the band's rehearsal and performance in the bulletin board... In all aspects, the details in the corners seemed to be able to truly feel the musical talismans flowing slowly on the soles of their feet.
While walking, I couldn't help but hold my breath and tried my best to calm myself down, fearing that my noise and movement would destroy this unique tranquility.
The shed and reality are still different after all.
Even if the scenes built in the studio are real, even if they are copied in a one-to-one ratio, they still cannot replace reality. Just like it is difficult to draw bones when painting tigers and skins. The atmosphere of life and historical precipitation cannot be copied, and the film effect presented naturally deviates.
Some directors always insist on filming on the spot, and that's the reason.
Despite the lack of guidance, after a while of exploration, the three people successfully found the location of the crew. Because the entire crew was moving, moving from a large rehearsal room to another separate practice room. Even a crew the size of a sparrow still had nearly thirty staff members, and the vast moving team was really hard to ignore.
"Hey, Rooney!"
Damien saw the three people coming towards him at a glance, and he greeted him with a shy smile a little restrained, but he was still cheerful and friendly enough. His eyes then fell on the two people next to him and introduced himself affectionately, "Good afternoon, I am Damien."
"Ryan."
"Paul."
Damien pursed his lips and showed a hint of pleasure, "I know, of course I know. I have seen your works, and I mean, the works of you two."
"Thank you." Ryan expressed his friendship with his head gently and joked coldly, "If you have the opportunity in the future, I hope to cooperate. Although I have not watched your works for the time being, I believe that Renli's choice will never go wrong. Since he has cooperated with you, it means that I have obtained a pass."
Ryan missed the conversation between Rooney and Paul just now, so he didn't understand the situation and spoke much more relaxedly at this time.
But Rooney was still a little worried and asked obscurely, "Is everything going well in the shooting?"
Damien didn't think much and nodded with a smile, "It went smoothly, everything went very smoothly. Lanli's performance was really outstanding. I thought 'buried alive' and 'detached' were already shocking enough, but only after watching it live, I realized what a real performance is." As he said that, Damien rubbed his hands excitedly.
"We just filmed a highlight scene. The chemistry was so wonderful that it turned the performance and shooting into a torment. I mean, a correct way to present the essence of the whole scene, which made people torment, but after the torment, it was pleasant and refreshing. Renli is really a rare actor, isn't he?"
Damien's excitement and excitement were clearly presented through words, which made people unable to help but expect the scene, such as Ryan; but at the same time, it could also be felt that Damien did not notice any abnormalities at all, as if everything was normal, which made Rooney recall Lanley's condition just now, and the feeling of uneasiness surged again.
Paul noticed Rooney's absent-mindedness and uneasiness. When they walked forward, he took the initiative to step down, came to Rooney's side, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, Lanley knows what he is doing."
Rooney raised her head, looked towards Paul's gaze, smiled slightly, and then nodded slightly in agreement, "Then let's go over and see what Renly is doing. Damien's description is really full of expectations. I have begun to envy those audiences who will see this work in the cinema in the future."
The little joke made Paul chuckle.
The group quickly came to the separate practice room, but everyone was bustling outside the door because the space in the practice room was too narrow.
The whole room was about six meters long and four meters wide, covering a complete area of less than twenty-four square meters. At this time, a Simmons mattress, a set of drums, two cameras, two lighting, etc. There were three staff members and a Renli. The limited space was filled with stuffing, and even the place where you stay was no longer found.
At this time, the staff are intensively adjusting the position of the camera and the angle of the lights.
Renli lay on Simmons, with his upper body lying flat on the mattress and his lower body lying on the wall, and his whole body was in an upside down lying flat; you can notice that he had headphones stuffed in his ears, listening to music, slowly immersing in the world of music.
The plot of the next scene is coherent with the scene just now.
After suffering from the devastating blow and insult from Fletcher, Andrew learned from his mistakes that he was definitely not the type to give up easily, nor was he a surrender. So he decided to break and then establish himself.
He simply moved his dormitory to the practice room mattresses, toiletries, music scores, albums, and that's all. He didn't plan to leave here until he really practiced the song "Whip" successfully.
This ruthless force erupted for the first time, paving the important foundation for the ups and downs of the subsequent story; at the same time, this ruthless force is so similar to Lan Li, who had trapped himself in the coffin and trapped himself in the light box.
Now Renly is listening to Buddy Ricky. Not for the plot service, but for the preparation of the performance, he needs to truly capture the rhythm and inspiration of Buddy Ricky playing the "whip-up". Only by truly understanding the difficulty of the song can he truly present the pain and struggles during the performance.
Seeing this, Ryan was about to go in and say hello. Unexpectedly, Paul and Rooney both expressed their stop, which scared Ryan.
For Ryan, who had never worked with Renly, he could not understand the current situation at all. Paul explained that "Before entering the official filming, Renly needs some time to carefully understand his role." Then Paul talked about his experiences during the shooting of "Fast and Furious 5" and "Descendancy".
Involuntarily, Ryan remembered the comment from the New York Times: Is he a genius in the spotlight or a madman behind the second stage?
