“Action.”

As a road movie, of course, it is impossible to lack driving scenes on the road. After the LMS crew has filmed the outdoor scenes with grandpa these days, they have begun to concentrate on shooting driving scenes. The interior scenes such as motels and hospitals have been filmed before. Grandpa can be said to be dead, but now they are back to shoot road scenes? It is so wonderful to make movies.

Six people were sitting in the bus talking. The bus was moving forward, with the front camera on the front, the side camera on the body, the rear camera on the rear, and the inner camera on the inside...

How do you shoot these? Maybe the actors are sitting in a fake car in front of the blue and green screen, acting like they are really driving, and then synthesize the driving scenery through the post-production special effects. This is the magic weapon of sitcoms and ultra-low-cost films and TV shows. There is no need for exquisite TV series, let alone movies with incredible casts.

For LMS, trailers and car frames are the magic weapons to win. In the studio work photos taken by Fernando on the crew's photography car, it is now like this:

On the deserted highway, the yellow and white Volkswagen bus was dragged forward by a small trailer. A large number of photography equipment were set up on the rear platform of the trailer. The microphone rod was hanging high, and the caterpillar-like gun microphone approached the bus that was unloaded with the windshield. Maurel and his men stood there with safety belts on their backs.

There is also a small car frame installed on the left side of the bus. It is called "Hostess-Tray" on the set. It fixes another camera on the side of the car, and can be repeatedly installed and disassembled and applied to any camera position on the body. The camera crew will change it to the right side of the bus and wait for more useful materials.

The starring actors sat in the car, and Hanks, who was in charge of driving, held the steering wheel with both hands, acting as driving.

Director Ye Wei will not be photographed because he is sitting in the photography car next to him, wearing communication headphones, watching the actors' performances on the monitor, and issuing orders at any time. His little arm on his left hand has removed the plaster and recovered in good condition, but it still takes time to recover from the previous state where he could blow up sandbags.

Beside him, art director Donald Burt, Lynn and others were also watching, doing their own jobs.

This is part of the LMS driving lens, and there are many that are really driving, the photography car is next to it or in the distance.

"CUT, this one is OK, but Alan, I want your expression to be slightly bigger."

Although there has been a thorough rehearsal before, there will still be NG. Ye Wei said to the microphone head of the headset, and the voice was transmitted to the headsets of Maurel and others across the opposite side and into the bus. He saw the expressions of the starring actors on the monitor relaxed, and Alan Ajin made an OK gesture.

Soon, with Maoriel's "Action" coming near, the new article began to be filmed again.

In fact, Ajin has very few NGs, and the old guy is too good at acting, and the role of "Grandpa" is not difficult for him. It is great to act just by his true nature. It is more like he has been acting for so many years and finally has a role that suits him the most.

Even if he NG, it will not be difficult to solve. Ye Wei usually briefly talks about his requirements, and Ajin will understand what he wants and adjust it properly next.

But there was no disagreement. The night before my grandfather passed away, Ye Wei and Ajin almost started arguing in the scene between grandfather and Oliver in room 13 of the motel.

In that scene, after grandpa and Oliver practiced the competition dance, Oliver should go to bed. Grandpa settled her and left. Oliver called him back four times, revealing his anxiety about losing the beauty pageant tomorrow and becoming a loser. He started to cry. Grandpa was always encouraging her. Finally, Oliver fell asleep peacefully and grandpa left.

The next day, grandpa would never wake up.

Ye Wei believes that this is a farewell scene. Every time my grandfather turns around and goes back, he must have obvious emotional changes that can be felt by the audience, increasing again and again, and he also has to coax the child to create the warm and sincere side of the vulgar and unruly grandfather. He loves his granddaughter so much.

Ajin thinks this is a normal scene, because in my grandfather's opinion, he will wake up as usual tomorrow and see Oliver attending a beauty pageant. He has no sense of parting. He is still the carefree old hippie. He turns back four times. He has no impatientness, but he doesn't have much feelings. He is emotionally a whole, and is usually warm.

In fact, this difference stems from the different perspectives of perception, the director's perspective and the actor's perspective.

Ye Wei agreed with A Jin part. Usually, grandpa did not have any particularly big feelings. He did not want emotional outbursts, but normal does not mean that there cannot be any emotional changes.

"Believe me, young man, I've been a grandpa for many years."

"I know, Alan, but I really feel that it's a little better."

This happens on every set, even the actor who acts for the first time will have his own understanding of the role. Ye Wei is not unaware that more trust is likely to be more surprises, but this scene is too important and he cannot give up his own views.

"Sometimes we just need to let the story happen and leave it to the audience to feel it." At that time, the two had already gone aside. Ajin's words meant some teaching. New directors often had to express themselves too much, control the characters, and control the emotional direction of the audience. This was not bad, but he hoped to gain control of his grandfather.

"This is Grandpa's sunny scene. He is an old bastard in front and he is also a back. We have to make him cute. Alan, you know, cute! That's why I want layers. An old bastard turns into a cute old bastard. I won't recommend your performance details, but I want layers!"

Ye Wei continued to persuade him that although the director was the king, he still couldn't move. "Why do we make two versions and make comparison choices when editing?"

"Young man, don't do this with me, an old guy." A Jinhe smiled with an old face. How could he not know that as long as he acted in the director's version, the actor's version would become garbage on the editing room floor. "This scene is not that complicated. This family will have many problems in normal times. It's not the first time that grandpa comforted Oliver, he is not very serious."

"He's not very serious, but he's very warm. Look at this Allen, 'He's combing Oliver's hair'..."

"Don't come, we all know that the script can be modified at any time. The lines I said today are not all written in the script, right?"

"Do you know? Grandpa is indeed not the first time to comfort Oliver, but Oliver doesn't cry at all times, she cries here! So Grandpa's reaction is different."

"Children always cry at any time."

"Oliver is not, because she was raised under the strict requirements of Richard. Richard would say, 'Only the losers cry', and she would not like to cry. Here she is actually a loser, and it was also the last time that Grandpa, the mentor, preached, 'The real losers are those who have never tried', and then the mentor's death protagonist must rely on himself."

"Young man, you're really academy."

"Yes, I'm academy, that's how I understand."

"Oliver may not cry, I don't know, but young man, I know her emotions are very simple. If you want to talk about the script, just look at it, 'He scratched her armpits, and she couldn't help laughing' This kid didn't think so much, and grandpa didn't, just a normal conversation."

"Oliver's simplicity is different from grandpa's simplicity. Oliver is innocent and simple that is not defiled by society. Grandpa is simplicity that has experienced too many things and seen through the world, which is different."

The older and the younger ones became more and more excited. Their arguments could be heard throughout the motel, from a scene to a whole story, from a character to a group of characters. Just call the screenwriter Michael Arnte? Stop joking. No one cares what the screenwriter thinks, and the creation of his work has been finished long ago.

There is only one winner in this conflict of disagreement, and it is time for others to do something, but they need to have power. Art refers to Donald Burt, who prefers Akin because it fits his grandfather's overall style; Assistant director Jennifer Anderson, she also prefers Akin, persuades Ye Wei: "Director, Allen knows what he is acting, so give it to him?"

Ajin is too respected. Although everyone recognizes VIY as a child prodigy, she is more willing to trust the elderly when there are serious differences.

Hanks, who also came to reconcile, Roberts laughed and advised Ye Wei to "calm down". In fact, it was like saying that he would stop fighting. Ajin had enough qualifications to disobey. This was the right of the actor.

Ye Wei really held his breath about this. A Jin can be disobedient, and it may not be bad to hand it over to him, but...

However, at this moment, A Jin, who was almost supported by everyone, sighed, "You are the director, you should make the decision on your movie, just follow the plan you said." Everyone was a little surprised, but it was only one point. A Jin was not a person who was old and was a veteran. The old man said again: "You'd better not make me look like a fool in the future."

"I will only be a cute old bastard grandpa!" Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief in surprise. It was great, it was great to get the effect he wanted!

He was very grateful in his heart. If Ajin insisted on his opinion, there would be no harm. The old man finally chose to give in, trust and help the young people. At the same time, there was a little more pressure, and no matter how confident he had, he could not guarantee that his plan would be more touching in the end. The answer would only be known when it was released.

Ajin performed well in the subsequent filming, and this matter was successfully resolved.

It was already a few days ago, much earlier than Emma's guest appearance. It undoubtedly enhanced Ye Wei's authority. No one knew the answer, but at least it can be handed over to the director now.

After filming all the scenes of grandpa driving today, Alan Ajin's scenes were finished and he had to say goodbye to the crew. When work was over in the evening, the crew held a simple farewell meeting for Ajin at the circus on the wilderness on the roadside.

It will be dark late in the summer. At this time, the sky is still bright. The food supply office in the circus is filled with vehicles. Online staff, supervisors and idle people gather at the food table, each holding some food, laughing and laughing. He was reluctant to leave. This is the kind of actor who will always be willing to have lunch with him.

"Allen, you are one of the best actors I have ever worked with. Your performance is incredibly good and has taught me a lot, thank you."

At this moment, Ye Wei did not deliberately maintain his director's authority, and he didn't need to film it at this stage. He raised the mineral water in his hand, looked around everyone, and smiled sincerely: "This old man, he is one of my mentors. I believe his performance will rock the audience, and that was what he did."

Everyone nodded with smiles and saw VIY's humble and respectful side, but only had a greater favorable impression.

"I have to say, little devil." Ajin also raised the mineral water, and his signature cold face was laughing. He called him little devil in public for the first time on the crew. "Your director's performance is incredible enough. Do you still remember the previous disagreement? If you don't want to express yourself, the new director can only make a script. You are not, you can make a movie."

"Thank you!" Ye Wei went to hug Ajin for a while. The old man's joining opened the door of dreams. The old man's support and the old man's teachings, thank you!

"Continue to work hard to make this movie well. This is what everyone and I expect from you." Ajin patted the young man on the shoulder, "Try it."

"It's not just this movie, I will keep trying to make a good movie." Ye Wei said, suddenly feeling that Ajin's plan is actually really good. When you calm down, your most common tone has already told you the greatest strength.

Everyone is reluctant to let Ajin go, but this is the case with the film crew. Some people will leave first and some people will come.

Arnte's arrival was just a visit to the set. As a screenwriter, he was certainly not Doris Day, and he was even classified as a mixed-race on the set. However, the LMS crew was not that mean, and he was still treated courteously, mainly because King Ye Wei gave a smile. Not only did he not look down on the screenwriter, he also asked Arnte to follow him and introduced him a lot when he had time.

Happy, curious, and unbelievable, dreams come true, this is Arnette's feeling. He was just a rookie on the set at the beginning, basically not understanding the equipment. He often wanted to express his opinions, but he was reminded by producer Peter Heller not to point fingers, just look at it.

So when he was excited, his biggest feeling when he stayed on the set was boredom. Writing scripts and making movies were completely different. Finally, he could understand why many screenwriters stayed on the set for a day and said, "I will never come again in the future."

So after having lunch on the LMS set twice, Arnte left.

It was gradually time to late May, and Meryl Streep arrived at the crew.
Chapter completed!
