Chapter 17 Finishing
"Card!"
In an abandoned factory on the outskirts, Li Chengyou sat on the director's chair, frowning slightly as he looked at the shaking camera in the monitor.
This is already the fifth day that the crew came here to shoot.
Overall, the filming in the first few days went relatively smoothly, but trouble started when filming the outdoor chase scene.
As a crew with limited filming funds, you can imagine the level of photographers that Li Chengyou can hire. You get what you pay for. Gold mining in the sand is always a low-probability event, and Li Chengyou is not so lucky. Normally,
The cameraman was able to complete the shooting competently, but when he was holding the camera to shoot the chase scene, the lens was shaking badly.
You must know that movies are shown on a big screen. Too much camera shake can easily cause dizziness and discomfort in the audience, affecting the movie-watching experience. If the box office does not hit the box office, then it is a ghost.
Because of this, Li Chengyou felt extremely unhappy at the moment.
Looking at the photographer with a frown, Li Chengyou opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but when the words came to his lips, he finally held back.
Scolding? Scolding is of no use!
People are at that level, and you won't get better no matter how much you scold them.
It's like spending ten dollars on lunch but wanting to enjoy a full banquet. The problem is not with others, but with your own brain.
Although Li Chengyou's character is not very good, he will not push his responsibilities to others. It can only be said that the photographer he chose at the beginning was one with relatively good cost performance. If it was beyond the scope of his ability, he could not make any mistakes.
The fault is placed on others.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chengyou looked at Zheng Zaixian and shouted: "Brother Zaixian, come over and direct."
Zheng Zaixian hesitated and said: "Chengyou, do you want...?"
Zheng Zaixian didn't finish his words, but Li Chengyou understood what Zheng Zaixian meant and nodded slightly.
Although he specializes in the art, Li Chengyou is not considered a professional photographer, but he also specialized in it in his previous life, so he thinks he should have no problem handling the current shooting.
But then, the photographer's expression suddenly changed.
Although he had taken many consecutive shots but still failed, and the photographer also knew that his skills were not enough, Li Chengyou personally went into battle. The most important thing is that Li Chengyou is only a student, not a photography major at all. This is not an obvious amateur disdain for the professional, and it is not harmful.
Big, extremely insulting.
The photographer felt very embarrassed.
But even if he loses face, the photographer can't say anything. After all, there were problems after taking many consecutive shots. And Li Chengyou had taken good care of his face before and never cursed in front of everyone. It's not like these photographers didn't see it.
In his eyes, Li Chengyou is going to fight in person now. Although he is not optimistic about it, he can't say much.
I could only keep a dark face and hand the camera over to Li Chengyou.
Li Chengyou was not angry, but smiled and said: "Brother Sunwoo, don't think too much. I just want to experience it myself and see what the problem is, and then we can discuss how to film this scene as soon as possible."
Li Chengyou was actually feeling angry.
But there is no way.
Although the director is the core of the crew and controls the entire crew, after all, he is too young and has too little qualifications. What's more, he has limited filming funds, and he doesn't have that much money to hire another photographer. If the photographer gives up, he will still be worried.
On the other hand, anger cannot solve the problem. Sometimes proper tolerance can get things done.
Cursing oneself loudly is certainly a relief, but it does not resolve the problem of whether to worry or not. Instead, it adds new problems, affects the atmosphere of the crew, and delays the filming progress.
Once the filming progress is delayed, money will be wasted, and now Lee Seung-woo has no money.
This is what makes Li Chengyou most depressed——
A penny stumps a heroic man!
After appeasing the photographer a little, we rehearsed again and then started the official shooting.
A few minutes later.
The photographer stood behind Zheng Zaixian and watched the monitor. When he saw the much more stable footage on the monitor than when he was shooting, his eyes widened.
Raising his head slightly and looking at Li Chengyou, the photographer couldn't help but muttered——
"This kid... really has some skills."
…
The chase scene was completed. Once this level was over, the subsequent scenes became much smoother and the shooting progress became faster and faster.
Time came to late April, the twelfth day of shooting in an abandoned factory——
"Card!"
As Lee Seung-woo finished speaking, the drama "Don't Stop the Camera" was officially finished.
Li Chengyou stood up, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Now I announce that we... are finished."
There was silence at first, and then cheers rang out.
"Hey, it's finally done."
"It's finished."
"After I go back, I must have a good sleep for two days."
…
Li Chengyou stood there, looking at everyone with a smile. After everyone calmed down a little, he smiled again and said: "Thank you everyone, you have worked hard during this time. But I will ask you to help clean up later, and wait until I go back in the evening.
, the crew held a closing banquet, and everyone will not return until they are drunk!"
"good!"
A burst of cheers sounded again.
In the evening, the closing banquet was held.
The atmosphere was extremely lively as people exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged cups.
Zheng Zaixian's face was red from drinking. He was obviously drunk. He hugged Li Chengyou and said with sadness and gratitude: "Chengyou, thank you so much. To be honest, Brother Zaixian is already so old, I didn't expect this.
There is also the day when I will become the leading actor in a movie. Anyway, being able to be the leading actor will be worthwhile in my life, and I will have bragging rights in the future.
Chengyou, thank you, thank you for thinking so highly of me, so that my life will not be in vain. I’d like to toast you, and do it first!”
Li Chengyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he drank with Zheng Zaixian.
After dealing with Zheng Zaixian, the photographer also came and sighed: "Seungwoo, I have to say, you impressed me with admiration. Come on, let me toast you too. I hope there will be opportunities to continue to cooperate in the future."
Li Chengyou smiled and said: "Brother Sunwoo, you're welcome. This filming went so smoothly thanks to your help. Brother Sunwoo, I respect you, do it!"
Li Chengyou drank it all in one gulp, not leaving a drop of wine behind, but he avoided the matter of subsequent cooperation.
It's not that he doesn't miss his old friendship, it's just that the photographer's skills are really not good enough. If we really collaborate again in the future, he will definitely not be able to be so tolerant, and it will only hurt his feelings even more.
so.
It's better for everyone to be safe.
After the photographer, the other main creative actors also came over to toast one by one. Li Chengyou did not refuse and drank the glass as soon as it came.
The drinking session didn't end until almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Those who drank too much took a taxi home. Those who didn't drink too much and had a good relationship met for the next one. Li Chengyou also said goodbye to everyone and prepared to take the bus home.
But after walking out of the restaurant, Cui Xianzhen drove up and Li Chengyou was about to get in the car when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Chapter completed!
