Legendary Hollywood Director

Crack! Heath Ledger, I need your eyes to be more powerful, that feeling of accepting reality but still hoping for survival, do you understand?

Lehman stared at the footage from the director's camera, then looked at Heath Ledger with a serious face next to him, and continued: Imagine that even the Washington government gave up on him, and he accepted it for the sake of his daughter's future life. The fate of being buried alive, but deep down, the human desire to survive still remains deep in the soul. That's almost what it means, do you understand?

The filming of the movie Buried Alive went very smoothly, even beyond Lyman's imagination. In just 4 days, the filming progress of the crew has been pushed by half.

Perhaps this is the benefit of a one-man show. The entire burden of filming is concentrated on the lead actor Heath Ledger, and other auxiliary work is reduced to a minimum. The daily shooting progress depends entirely on the actor's performance status, as long as he does not make mistakes. , the scene picture of the effective lens is easy to complete.

After all, every time a scene is shot, neither the scene nor the props need to be changed. It is completely feasible to just wait for Heath Ledger to fix the makeup and adjust the camera position.

Moreover, the acting skills of the starring Heath Ledger are really excellent, and there are few problems, which is a great news for the filming crew of Buried Alive, which is short of funds.

Lehman calculated that if the shooting time exceeds 20 days, all the existing funds will be consumed, and there will be no money left for post-production. At that time, whether it is to start his own retreat money or Ryan said, scratch money. money, will put him under greater pressure to fail.

It's a pity that Heath Ledger's state is on the table, and Lehmann is not given this chance.

I think it should be more desperate, even his country has abandoned him, and the thugs also asked him to take a video of him being trapped in the coffin to cause panic in public opinion. At this time, he must have the least desire to survive. time, director.

Clearly, Heath Ledger had his own take on this scene.

Lyman didn't think there was anything wrong with actors having their own opinions. He pulled Heath Ledger and said to the swapped scene, Take a good look for yourself.

Knowing that he was going to die, his expression was hopeless, his eyes were dull, and the reactions and emotions of the characters were in place. There was no problem. He looked at Laiman in doubt.

It's too depressing, it's detached from the scene. Lyman gestured with his hands, Your performance is good enough, if you're even lower, it's a bit isolated, do you understand?

You have to raise it a little bit, not so low. His hand slid all the way from Heath Ledger's waist to his thigh, and then up to his lower abdomen.

Heath Ledger could not understand, and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing his expression, Lyman understood that he didn't understand what he meant, so he pulled him and watched the replay of the camera again, Look, isn't the whole picture a little incoherent, you seem to be huddled in that corner alone? It's the same, it's different from the surrounding painting style.

Heath Ledger finally understood a little bit. It was not that his mood was not in place, but that the overall environment should not be so low. The lighting is soft, and his presence makes the shot stand out, like he shouldn't be there.

You can't just focus on the emotions of your characters, you have to understand the whole atmosphere of the scene. Now it's a shot of Paul accepting his fate, yes, but you're watching from an outsider, you know the thinking of the Washington authorities, and Paul doesn't You know, he still thinks he didn't agree to the thugs' demands, that his daughter will be fine, and he even has a little fantasy that the troops stationed around here will come to rescue him, not the Washington authorities, you understand Is it? So the lighting is a little soft, symbolizing that he still has fantasies and the desire to survive deep in the human body.

Director, I want to prepare. Heath Ledger said. Lyman's words helped him see something deep in the script,

His own brain also had some new thoughts, and he needed time to sort out his thoughts on performing emotions.

Okay, I'll give you half an hour.

This kind of situation rarely appeared on the crew of Buried Alive, and even the camera and lighting went wrong. As an actor, Heath Ledger can still guarantee his performance, but this time, he needs to jump from Paul's perspective, from the perspective of Paul. The background of the entire script, which is the war in Afghanistan, must be combined to do better.

Okay, everyone rest for half an hour. Lehmann said loudly.

What's wrong, did my lighting go wrong again? Dougridge, the lighting engineer, asked a little unconfidently. After so many days of shooting, it was the places he was responsible for that made the most mistakes.

Haha, no, it's not your problem, it's just a rest.

After that, Lyman glanced at Dougridge again. In fact, this hired lighting engineer really has a big problem. The lighting arrangement required for the movie is not difficult. After all, there are few scenes and there is no need to change it, but he always makes a little mistake. . To say it is sloppy, but he sticks to his post seriously every day, so it can only be a problem with his ability.

You get what you get for every penny. Although he has the second highest salary, most of the people in the crew are novices, so it is nothing compared to him. The only advantage is that he saves money and does not complain. He is really patient in doing things. Gotta say.

What's wrong? After a while, Ryan came over. He knew very well that his old friend, when he was shooting, he could fight as hard as he could, so why would he suddenly think about taking a break.

Let Heath Ledger find out. His performance just now was too low and uncoordinated. Lyman glanced back and answered the reason for the rest.

Ryan followed the instructions and glanced at it. After Heath Ledger made up his makeup, he sat there and closed his eyes, Isn't he acting well? It's so late, do you want to... ..

Lyman knew what Ryan meant. The whole crew was waiting. It was getting late. Do you want to rest first and shoot tomorrow.

Give him a chance. Taking advantage of his emotional coherence, it should be fine if he can adjust it well.

As an actor, comprehension is also very important. Some actors can penetrate at a bit, and some actors, even if you completely break the trick in front of him, he will not.

As for what kind of actor Heath Ledger has been performing well, we will soon find out.

Half an hour passed in a flash, Heath Ledger stood up, nodded towards Lyman, and went into the coffin.

Seeing this, Lehman clapped his hands and said loudly, All departments are in place, ready to start filming.

-- With the record again, the scene begins again:

Still in the small, dim coffin, Heath Ledger was half seated, and the photographer began to adjust the lens.

Now the background of the whole play is that Paul called the US government for help, and also told the US government about the terrorists who threatened him and asked him to take a video of him being buried alive. There is something to ask him if he will help to shoot the video. After all, once such a video spreads, it will have a very negative impact on the credibility of the US government and its strategic relations in international affairs. Therefore, they lied and said it would be the fastest. The speed of rescue Paul, also told him not to film, and promised to protect his family.

The situation of the kidnappers on the other side is even simpler. They are in their own national complex and want to kill Paul and get a death video, which they use to make fun of the U.S. military and government, and they know very well that they will be buried alive by them. This person can't get any help from the US at all, because it is not the first time for them to do this. The deaths of many US citizens in the past have not brought them any other benefits, so they thought of burying alive and saying yes To ask for a ransom is not to deceive Paul's trust with the idea of ​​​​killing, let him shoot a video, and finally send him to God.

From the beginning to the end, these two forces did not care about the life and death of a small person like Paul. They just used him as a bargaining chip and rolled back and forth on the sky.

As for Paul, he believed the nonsense of the US government and believed that his country would send rescue troops to rescue him, so he promised not to shoot the video.

It wasn't until after a long time that the oxygen in the coffin began to thin, and he felt more and more that death was getting closer and closer to him. He didn't realize that he was abandoned, but there was still a little fantasy in his heart... .

The whole film, through a mobile phone and a few conversations, reveals the image of the entire high-level society in the United States. The male protagonist also slowly slipped from the peak of hope to the valley of disappointment, and he didn't even know that he was being tricked. Subtle irony.

Figured these out, and the performance was a matter of course.

In the camera, Heath Ledger is lying in the coffin decadently, his breathing is barely audible, and only the beating chest is still showing signs of his life.

As Lehman said, the mood can't be too low, the key is to grasp the size.

There seemed to be a ray of light in his empty eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised for some reason.

All I want is for my daughter to be safe, and if I can, to last until the rescue force arrives.

His eyes seemed to penetrate the coffin and looked into the distance. The various physical discomforts caused by the thin oxygen tormented him crazily, but his expression did not show too much pain, but a kind of relief. a feeling of. There was still a trace of hope in the desperate look.

Lehmann didn't shout or shout, just loudly said, Come on!

Huh... Heath Ledger slowly got up from the prop coffin, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

This time, the emotions he brought in were very good, not as depressed as at the beginning, and it was very harmonious with the whole scene. After Lehmann enjoyed the whole scene, it completely met his expectations. Heath Ledger, well done.
