So, Donna, are you dancing to tango?After the greetings, the well-dressed lieutenant colonel asked this question.
Well…I wanted to learn before, but…Mike didn’t.The beautiful girl replied with a smile.
Mike?The person you are waiting for?Lieutenant Colonel asked with his eyebrows.
The girl shrugged and agreed to the lieutenant colonel's statement, then explained: Mike thought Tango was crazy.
Ha, I think Mike is crazy, too.Although the lieutenant colonel's eyes were not shining, the face clearly stated that he was disapproving.
Don't pay attention to him.Charlie next to him quickly interrupted, "Hmm... I seem to have said it?"
The slightly awkward look made the girl giggle immediately, and the lieutenant colonel couldn't help but sigh: What a beautiful laugh!
Then he asked to the girl: Do you want to learn tango, Donna?
Donna was obviously a little surprised: Now?
Free service, how about it?The lieutenant colonel, who could not see anything, said with confidence.
I was a little scared.Donna didn't know how to refuse, and was afraid of stepping on the wrong steps.
Tango has no missteps, unlike life, it is very simple, so it is great. If you step on the wrong steps or trip over, keep jumping.The lieutenant colonel said with a smile, his confident expression never changed.
I don’t know if I was infected by the lieutenant colonel’s confidence or if I really wanted to go crazy, Donna nodded: OK, then give it a try.
The two immediately stood up, and after Charlie explained the surrounding environment to the lieutenant colonel, the lieutenant colonel took Donna to the dance floor.
The previous song just finished playing, and after a few seconds of pause, the prelude to "One Step Away" sounded.
stop!Adrian shouted loudly, and after everyone stopped, he looked at the dance floor and thought for a few seconds, then waved to everyone: Let's do this again!
He is now shooting the amazing tango in the restaurant, one of the three most troublesome scenes in the movie!
The reason why this amazing tango is one of the three most troublesome scenes is because this scene tests the director's scheduling and shooting skills very much. How to show that Frank is a blind man in tango?
How can the audience think that he is no different from an ordinary person?
All of these require careful treatment, and if you are not careful, you may backfire. Even if Adrian is familiar with the camera and the plot, he still dare not be careless.
In his opinion, the troublesomeness of this scene is greater than the other two, the other two relatively troublesome scenes are: Lieutenant Colonel Frank’s driving in New York City and finally preaching in the school auditorium.
For the former, I have experienced the various causes of road closure during shooting, but it is the matter of assistant and executive producer; for the latter, Adrian already has experience in large-scale scene dispatching, and Pacino was in excellent condition during the shooting. The magnificent speech was filmed five times repeatedly, and each time passed.
I have to admit that the veteran actor Pacino is very outstanding. Among all the characters with disabilities, the blind is one of the worst to play.
Because the eyes of ordinary actors are very important to their personal acting skills, for example, some people think that Nicholas Cage's eyes adds a lot of points to his performance.
But blind characters cannot use their eyes to perform, and they must transfer the part of their eyes to expressions, movements and body language.
Pacino did this very well, especially in the preaching in the auditorium. His body movements were not big but quite powerful. During the filming, he infected the crew and the temporary actors.
Although Oscars have always favored disabled male protagonists, and although Pacino has the advantage of qualifications, his outstanding acting skills are also one of the important reasons why he can get the Little Golden Man. Adrian fully believes that he can still get it this time.
Okay, the topic goes back to the shooting of tango. Compared with racing scenes and propaganda scenes, the key to making good tango scenes lies with the director.
As mentioned before, we should not only make the audience feel that the lieutenant colonel is no different from a normal person, but also make them feel that the lieutenant colonel is actually a blind person. In addition to the actor's performance, it depends on the director's ability to control it.
Adrian spent a lot of effort on this, for example, based on memory, he drew out the draft of the dance storyboard early, and invited two dance directors to complete the dance design based on these drafts, and then took other fragmented shots to let Pacino and the actress Vera Jamison, who played Donna, practice dance steps.
Trouble is trouble, and caution is cautious. Adrian does not think that this shot will stump him. Although his works are all plagiarized and copied, it does not mean that he will be incompetent.
Need eye drops, al?
After filming the previous scenes of Tango twice, Adrian announced a 15-minute break to meet the next challenge, and joked with Pacino.
Don't you know?I blink desperately every time the camera is removed.Pacino responded in the same tone.
It seems that I should have prepared an extra camera to shoot all these images so that I can also add some behind-the-scenes when releasing video tapes in the future.Adrian continued to laugh.
Pacino has no interface this time, but has moved to other topics: I went to see your new movie while I was relaxing a few days ago, which is very contagious.Although I have met many directors and producers, it is the first time I have seen you.To be honest, Ed, I suddenly wonder what this movie "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" will look like after it is completed.
You'll see, al.Adrian smiled and patted his shoulder. Then I will have a surprise for you.
After the break, the filming continued. In order to minimize mistakes as much as possible, Adrian repeatedly talked about the plays for several protagonists.
Actually, it didn't say anything. Caspar Yager, who played Charlie, did his duty as a young man, and he had nothing to do with his role when dancing tango. As for Pacino, the methodical performance method made him feel very in good condition most of the time, just a little reminder; therefore, the most talked about is Vera Jamison, who played Donna.
…Anyway, don’t be nervous, just like you and Al practiced before.Didn’t you perform well in the shots at the dining table just now?
Adrian patiently comforted the nervous actress. He just tried the film twice, and each time the music was stopped as soon as it started. Vera was obviously not in the state.
Adrian originally wanted Kate to play this role, but she was very suitable in terms of appearance alone, but when she thought of her height of about 5 feet and 8 inches, she could only give up. She couldn't let Pacino dance tango with a woman who was one third taller than her, right?
So in the end, I chose this 23-year-old young woman with a black hair, a little skinny and a supporting role in some low-cost movies. She is about 5 feet and 5 inches tall. Unfortunately, she is in good condition under normal cameras, and she is also good when she practices tango with Al, but she will feel nervous when she comes to the camera.
Well…I wanted to learn before, but…Mike didn’t.The beautiful girl replied with a smile.
