"It was the script of the film that attracted me," said director Sam Remy. "This is a very touching love story. I am a baseball fan, and this is the first script that makes me intoxicated in baseball. Dana Si Dana Stevens brought us to the world of real baseball players." In the eyes of producer Amy Robinson, the combination of love and baseball in the story is perfect.
With the exception of several off-season scenes shot in Aspen, Colorado , the entire film was shot in New York and Los Angeles . The crew spent several weeks filming at Yankee Stadium, and then a large number of shots were taken in Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods. According to producer Robinson, shooting at Yankee Stadium is not an easy task. She said: “When we started the filming plan for this film, baseball was in a recession and people were gradually losing interest in the sport. Later, Yankees. Returning to the New York game, we found Yankee owner George Steinbrenner (George Steinbrenner). When he learned that Kevin Carolina Kostner will star in the film, he showed great interest because he is a huge fan of Carolina Kostner."
During the filming, the most important issues to pay attention to were the negotiation with YANKEES and the unpredictable weather in New York. Although the negotiations were difficult, they finally reached an agreement. The weather also unexpectedly cooperated with the shooting. In November, New York was even warmer. Rongrong set the highest winter high temperature in the past years.
After ensuring that Yankee Stadium set aside five weeks for filming, the crew immediately began to make a shooting plan. Executive Producer Ron Bozman said: "For Love of the Game, there is only one baseball game in the entire film. This is the first time in a film of its kind. I want to reproduce the game The biggest challenge is because there will be a lot of problems among the actors, scenes and extras." During the shooting of the stadium, a total of 800-2000 extras appeared on the screen, and all the vacant seats in the stands were filled with CG technology.
Before starring in this film, Kevin Carolina Kostner only played baseball in middle school, but he was a talented Master Sportsman in college, and his love of acting ended Carolina Kostner's sports career. In order to truly show the charm of baseball, the producer invited the renowned University of Texas System baseball coach Augie Garrido (Augie Garrido) to give guidance. Garrido is also an old friend of Carolina Kostner. He said: "Kay Wen is a well-trained athlete. He can not only play baseball, but also ski, golf and basketball. When performing, he will be as focused as a professional athlete ."
Because Detroit Tigers, New York YANKEES and the American Professional Baseball League are very concerned about the image of the team and the quality of the sports in the film, the requirements for the actors are very strict. Both the Tigers and Yankees insist that in addition to actors, those who play players in team uniforms in the film must be retired or active players. In addition, the referees Rick Reed, Jerry Crawford and Richie Garcia of the National League Baseball all appear in the film as their real identities. Los Angeles Dodgers ’ commentator Vin Scully and 20th Century Fox Sports Channel announcer Steve Lyons (Steve Lyons) are also doing their jobs in the film. Their comments and The analysis effectively enhanced the authenticity of the game.
