Chapter 48
How Jeff and Harvey discussed it, Martin didn't know.
In the end, Harvey was willing to pay $700,000 for the music Martin composed for the film.
This is a lot of money. Nowadays, the famous American film scoring master, Hans Zimmer, winner of multiple Oscar scoring awards, only costs 700,000 to 1 million to score a movie. Interval (specifically depends on the workload and number of modifications).
Martin knew Harvey's intentions in offering such a large sum of money.
Gimmick!
This shrewd Jewish fat man will not suffer.
Today, sales of Martin's trance albums are still booming, and Martin's compositional ability has been recognized by many composers and critics.
So Martin's first soundtrack film is definitely a major selling point of the film.
The fat man even hinted in a phone call that Martin could find a gunman, as long as he signed a confidentiality contract and put his name on it.
Martin clearly rejected the bad idea.
Just like he once said to Jessica,"Everything in the past has its traces." He will not leave any hidden dangers for his future.
And - it's just the movie soundtrack. He has too much material in his mind. Not to mention the original movie soundtrack in his memory, he can find better ones among the music he heard when he was in the Continent of Gods and Demons.
For example, some of the songs of the Night Stalkers can make people's hair stand on end and make them feel frightened just by hearing them. Coupled with the scenes of the movie, they are guaranteed to keep the audience full of tension.
…………
The time has come for June.
The filming of the film has come to an end.
There are no big scenes in this movie. Strictly speaking, it is a scene between three or four people - a boy and a psychiatrist, a boy and his mother, a psychiatrist and his wife, and so on.
The scene just switches between the street, two apartments, and the school.
In terms of shooting difficulty, it is much lower than"A Match Made in Heaven", but it is better than the plot and the actors' performances.
"Guys, cheer up, this is the last shot of the movie. After filming, let Bruce treat everyone to a feast."
Martin clapped his hands to encourage the film crew.
Bruce Willis on the side showed a speechless expression,"Martin, it's okay for you to give favors, but why am I treating you? Martin chuckled and said,"Bruce, don't be so stingy. Do you want me, an underage kid, to treat you?" Aren't you afraid that people from the Children's Protection Association will come to your door?"
"Those vultures! ? Forget it, let me invite you!"Bruce Willis immediately raised his hands and surrendered.
Once an organization like the Children's Protective Society of America gets entangled, it will be in big trouble. You can't get rid of it without peeling off a layer of skin."
"Martin, do you need a break?"Shyamalan was more worried about whether Martin's physical strength could hold up.
"No, director."Martin shook his head resolutely,"I'm in good shape now, let's continue and end this battle.’"
Just kidding, this workload is nothing to the succubus!
After Shyamalan took a careful look at Martin to make sure he wasn't trying to show off, he sat back in the director's chair with confidence and started making arrangements.
He attaches great importance to this last shot, because this shot is also one of the most important shots in the movie, and it is also a great test for Martin's acting skills.
"Get on your feet... get ready, start!"
In the bedroom, the boy gasped and trembled as he stretched out his little hand and held it on the door handle.
After several hesitations, he finally made up his mind, clicked, and gently twisted the door lock.
The door was opened a gap. , the boy's head poked out from the gap, and his clear eyes looked towards the dimly lit corridor.
There was hesitation and fear in his eyes. After looking back and forth, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. Suddenly He opened the door and rushed to the bathroom quickly.
Swipe!
A white shadow flashed from behind the boy.
The boy seemed to be aware of something, and he suddenly became excited. Fear appeared on his face. He panted quickly and turned around slowly. The weak body was trembling slightly, looking so lonely and helpless.
Behind him, there was nothing.
Hallucinations, this was just an hallucination, all false.
The boy cheered himself up, but involuntarily stepped towards the corridor, as if He wanted to prove something...
At this moment, the boy suddenly heard the sound of kitchen utensils clinking in the kitchen. His face looked certain, thinking it was his mother making breakfast, so he turned and walked towards the kitchen. There was a bright light in the kitchen. The lamp swept away the gloomy darkness, and the world seemed to return to the light. A woman in pink pajamas was facing the door, tinkering with something.
The boy shouted softly:"Mom?""
The woman in pink pajamas turned around suddenly and said in a sharp and violent voice,"No! Dinner isn't ready yet, what do you want?"
"Close-up, here is a close-up."Shyamalan said to the cameraman in the headset.
The camera zoomed in instantly, and you could see from the monitor that the woman's face and body were covered with horrific scars. Coupled with the hysterical expression, an atmosphere of fear rushed over her face.
The woman stretched out her hands towards the boy, revealing her arms covered with deep knife marks, and roared angrily:"You can never hurt me again, Lanny! It was you who forced me to be like this!"
The boy's body trembled violently, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears.
He turned around suddenly, rushed out of the bright kitchen, rushed into the dark and gloomy corridor, returned to his bedroom as quickly as possible, and got into In the red tent.
The tent was filled with statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and crosses were hung everywhere. The boy covered his mouth and did not dare to make a sound. The tears in his eyes finally flowed down uncontrollably. The pair of bright blue eyes slowly lost their luster.
There was silence all around.
Everyone looked at the boy who was crying silently in the tent.
At this moment, all the staff could clearly feel that the boy's endless helplessness and despair
"cut! Shyamalan jumped up excitedly,"Awesome, Martin, you are really great. Believe me, this scene will definitely become a classic in film history!""
With the sound of"cut", Martin deliberately stayed in the tent for a while, then gathered his mood and walked out.
Bruce Willis came over, rubbed Martin's head, and exclaimed:
"Martin, your performance in this scene is definitely the most stunning shot in the movie, and I feel like you are going to steal my Oscar for Best Actor."
Martin wiped his tears and grinned. He looked a little funny, but no one around him would laugh at him.
Everyone knew what a wonderful performance Martin had just completed.
Martin was very proud of himself. Of course it was wonderful! This movie is wonderful.
This scene performed by Haley Joel Osment, the original star of the movie, was later rated as one of the top 100 classic scenes in North American film history. I definitely can’t compare!
