Chapter 56 Gone with the Wind in the morning, afternoon...
"Hahaha, Bella, you little fool! Have you forgotten what I taught you before? When I bent down..."
In front of the camera, Anna was teasing Bella. At this time, she made a bent action, but Bella did not respond. She just shook her tail happily and slid into her round eyes. She immediately laughed and said the line, then bent over, "Then now, jump!"
Hearing this jump, the trained Bella gave her face and jumped up suddenly and was about to jump over her, but Anna raised her body and bumped into it again.
"Haha!" Anna fell on the grass and laughed. Bella licked her face, and she smiled and avoided: "Hey, you haven't brushed your teeth yet!"
There is no such line in the script, and this is her natural reaction, just like usual, without thinking too much, real emotions.
Next to the camera, Ye Wei looked at it in a daze without blinking, like a stone statue of the Easter Island.
Pete looked at him. The shot was finished as planned, but as long as the director did not call CUT, the audience had to continue filming, and the actors had to adapt to the situation. Ye Wei had taught Anna just now, so she was still acting. She stood up with Bella in her arms, kissed it docilely, put it down, and chased her laughed and laughed.
The more everyone watched, the more surprised she became. She performed so well beyond imagination! Not only was she completely different from when she first rehearsed, but she also had a detached script!
Anna is undoubtedly an excellent movie actor, and her innocence, liveliness, romanticism, and pure beauty are all revealed.
When Anna and Bella played far away from the prospects, suddenly, Ye Weicai was willing to shout: "CUT!!!"
Pete turned off the camera, and Anna stopped and walked back. Everyone looked at Ye Wei, nervous! Then she saw him waving his fist high, "Good acting!!"
"Anna!" He laughed and shouted, "Will the authoritative director go to hell at this moment. He and Anna slammed heavily and praised the smart girl with all their hearts: "You are a little genius! Remember what I said, you will become a great actor, you will definitely! You will shock those who look down on you and fall off your chins, they are finished! Because you acted so well, you cute little monkey! Haha, pass, pass!"
"Yeah!" Anna was also cheering in Xin, her heart was sweet, pass! Director said, pass!!
Bella barked with excitement a few times, which caused Toto, who was not far away, to bark, and struggled to run over.
"Wow.", "The acting was really great." "There was amazing!" Everyone was laughing and complimenting. Ye Wei's directing received a miraculous effect, and Anna performed perfectly! The most incredible thing was Janet and David. They were also the people here who knew the changes in Anna's acting skills the most, and she really fell down!
"Oh mine..." Janet covered her mouth excitedly, almost choking, excited because she saw hope again!
If Anna can keep it up, let alone whether the audition results of "It's all Daisy's fault" can be changed. She may have a different reward when she participates in other movies in the future!
"I've also taken a good photo here." Ye Haogen, who was on the side, looked at the DV screen and smiled.
"Do you want to take another shot?" After laughing, Darum asked Ye Wei that there are three reasons for Good-Take's "take another shot". One is insurance. Film shooting needs to be like this. If one is unfortunately destroyed, there is another one. Second, enrich the image material and give the editor more choices; Third, in fact, the director made a mistake just now, and he could not admit it, so he used the first two reasons to cover up his reshoot.
Ye Wei smiled and didn't say anything. He started to play the portable TV monitor next to the camera and replayed the image he just took. This is what Sony HDC-F950 calls "what you see is what you get". It is also why people love digital shooting. If it is film, the image just now will not be able to see the true appearance until tomorrow morning. Before that, we can only look at the video taken by the camera synchronously.
Everyone gathered around, and they also need to sort the replays. The online is in front and the offline is in the back, so Anna doesn't have to squeeze, just stands side by side with Ye Wei and watch, blinking her big eyes, looking forward to further evaluation.
"You all look at it and tell me, is it necessary to take another photo?" Ye Wei deliberately praised loudly, giving Anna more confidence. "This line 'You haven't brushed your teeth yet', but immediately kissed Bella again and looked at this smile! This is why I say that Anna is a genius, this is a miracle!"
"Then you don't have to keep one?" Darum wanted to confirm the answer.
"Please protect one thing? Is it because you want to see Anna's genius performance again? Then prepare for the next shot quickly, hurry up!"
Listening to these praises, Anna smiled happily. The power in her heart became stronger. She couldn't let Wei down. She wanted to do better! The best performance is - not to perform!
After the director's decision, everyone was busy again. Behind each shot was a lot of arrangement work, especially the lighting...
When the remaining shots of this scene became zero, the first scene of the script was also finished.
There are many scenes in the back garden of the house. Bella is here to cheer Anna up. In order to maximize the use of time, the scenes of the same scene had to be filmed continuously. No matter what the order in the script is, this is one of the lies of the movie.
But after learning that Anna was eliminated by "It's All Daisy to Make a Mistake", Ye Wei had a new idea. He wanted to finish the first scene and tell Anna the bad news that she was eliminated. At that time, her mood would inevitably be depressed and even hit. It happened to be the emotions needed in the second scene. In that way, she should have a particularly good effect when she acted.
If the distance between the scenes is very far, it cannot support this idea, but because the distance is very close, he adjusted the shooting plan last night. Now he will continue to shoot the second scene of the script, Anna takes Bella from the back garden to the front garden, which is a long shot.
The shooting of long shots is naturally more difficult. Fortunately, with a detailed storyboard, Pete also put on a Stenikon, and the final shot was smooth, and three were passed.
Anna continued her outburst, making everyone praise it again and again.
Ye Wei is also constantly bringing new surprises to everyone. The fact that he is a "insider" in filmmaking is undoubtedly there.
His command sounded from time to time, and he made various decisions. At this time, the crew was filming in the lobby of the house, and his voice sounded again: "Hurley, kill that baby and replace the flood (Kill-The-Baby, Change-Flood)!"
Duoduo, who was watching over there, suddenly screamed in anxiety when he heard this, ran towards his parents not far away, and said anxiously: "Brother, which baby is going to kill, you can stop him quickly!" Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao couldn't help laughing. Although they couldn't understand, they knew that this was just a term.
After listening to my parents’ explanation, Duoduo became even more confused. What?
Not to mention her, Anna couldn't understand, as did Pton and Claire, who played her parents. What kind of lighting term are these?
I saw the lighting maker Heli Jin change a large light bulb into a lamp holder, and gestured OK to Ye Wei and Pitt by the camera: "Okay."
In fact, the meaning of that sentence is just "turn off the soft light and replace the floodlight". If you are not familiar with the jargon on the set, you can only say "turn off the soft light and replace the floodlight" like a layman. What Hollywood crew should you do? I don't know how much private ridicule will cause, and what other director's authority will be?
On the contrary, when the newcomers on the set heard these cool jargons that they didn’t understand, they immediately felt a little humble, knowing that they were juniors and had to learn from their predecessors, thus keeping the kingdom on the set in order.
Now, Ye Wei understands technology and sets. Over time, everyone forgot that he is only 15 years old and that he is one of them, a filmmaker.
So the college students naturally accepted that he was the director, naturally obeyed the orders, and were enthusiastic.
...
At the same time, in Harvard-West Lake Junior High School, rumors about Ye Wei suddenly blew up the campus like a sudden tornado.
"Have you heard it? I'll explain first. I don't know if the news is true or false! VIY wants to embezzle the company's property..."
"No way? You better not talk nonsense, I believe in VIY!"
"I don't want it either. Someone called my parents. They were worried so much. It seemed that Bruce Willis wanted to buy the project, and there was the previous focus! VIY refused."
"What's his thought?"
“He was still thinking about being a producer and director of the project…”
"ah!?"
Lev was patrolling the Reynolds Hall. When he saw a club member discussing, he rushed up, his big nose opened and shouted, "Jesus Christ! That's the lie of the focus movie! Didn't I send a text message to inform you! You're so irresponsible nonsense that you will kill Brother Wei! I'm ashamed of you!"
The two boys immediately looked bitter, "What's wrong?" "Yes, Lev, just explain it clearly!"
On the other side, in the library, Chen Nuo held his glasses and explained to several puzzled boys calmly; Bad, Babu and others also ran around the campus...
Lily was telling the truth to Trister, Connie and other girls, asking them to help spread it: "The focus is on malicious slandering Wei! I just want to buy the project at a low price. This is a shameless business strategy. Don't be fooled! Wei's plan, you will know when he makes a short film."
Regarding this remark, the club members and other students believed it, and some kept their doubts...
After hearing the news, John Williams and others ate Christmas in advance, taking the opportunity to fuel the fire and mock the entire Dream Chasing Alliance.
"I've said it long ago, this is a scam! How is it now? That money will fall into his pocket! Shameless! The school will expel him, and it will be short film soon? I think he is hiding at home and not daring to come to school. Let's take a look and see what kind of garbage he can take, hahaha!"
...
When the time came to 12:00, the crew of "Angel Dance" had been working for four hours in the morning, and finished work and had a real lunch time.
The result of the morning was that almost all the scenes of Anna's house were filmed in the first scene, and almost all the scenes of Anna's room (Duoduo's room) were left.
The most common situation on the set happened. The morning passed, but it did not catch up with the scheduled shooting progress!
There is only so much shooting time in three days and 30 hours, and the last minute and second will not increase. Unless the shooting is timed out, this progress will not be completed.
The back garden of the house is the base camp, and everyone has lunch here. They are sitting on the steps and chairs and stools, eating the boxed lunches of the country with a good taste, chatting with laughter. They were having a good morning photo shoot.
"What are you going to do?" Dalum had not started a meal yet. As an assistant director, he was far away from the dining area, holding the shooting schedule, and asking Ye Wei what to do.
"Damn..." Ye Wei frowned and looked at the schedule. There were only a few ways. First, adjust the plan and delete some shots from the camera list to make the afternoon time sufficient, so as to complete the task of the day, but those camera materials were gone.
2. Accelerate shooting in the afternoon, no longer quality first, but completion first. In this way, unless a miracle occurs, it is impossible to maintain the quality of the morning's shot.
3. Work overtime. Then his control on the set will be one level lower. Don’t the big guys know? It won’t be too popular!
None of the three choices are good, and Ye Wei was difficult to make a decision. He muttered, thinking, "Why are you slowing down?"
"I have reminded you before, "Gone with the Wind" in the morning and "Duck Soup" in the afternoon." Darum shrugged helplessly, and the problem lies in the hall scene, which took too much time.
Now that he was talking to Ye Wei, he no longer thought about whether the other party could understand.
GWTW (Gone-with-the-Wind-in-the-morning, Dukes-of-Hazzard-after-lunch) is the most common long-standing complaint among the deputy directors on the set of the United States, which means that if one morning is as slow as "Gone with the Wind" (it was 221 minutes long in early 1939, filmed 11 months, and it was well-made and costly). In the afternoon, he could only shoot "Duck Soup" (1933, 68 minutes long, absurd and nonsensical classic comedy, small cost, random). Dukes also said a pun to refer to the popular TV series "Justice Forward" in the 1980s, where the protagonists always raced and rushed to reincarnate.
"What's wrong?" At this time, Anna didn't have a good meal and walked over curiously.
Ye Wei looked at her and smiled and said, "Dalum wants to eat duck soup in the afternoon." He has made a decision, "But I don't want it, man, it's still "Gone with the Wind" in the afternoon!"
"This is impossible." Darum raised his hand and surrendered.
"How is it impossible? We need to maintain quality, but also faster. I don't see another lens that takes 15 minutes to clean. 10 minutes is enough, 5 minutes is better!"
Just recalling the reason, Ye Wei found that the reason for being slow was not a problem of performance, nor was it a change in the storyboard composition, or any accident. The main reason was that there was too little staff, which led to inefficiency. He continued: "From the afternoon, everyone can't be so leisurely anymore. Parela and Amy have to help set the lights and sets, and I, some of my friends, they will come to do the work at 4 o'clock in the afternoon after school."
"Also, 15 minutes of lunch, 15 minutes of rest, and work will continue at 12:35."
12:35?Dalum seemed to want to say something, Ye Wei had already said in a deep voice: "This is an order!" Anna next to him nodded seriously: "The director's order."
"I understand." Darum scratched the freckles on his face. Who said the director was the God of the set? He turned around and walked towards the people in the dining area and shouted, "Everyone, you have to eat quickly. Our shooting has been slower. Work will start at 12:35 to catch up."
"Oh..." Everyone exclaimed suddenly, the lunch box was no longer fragrant. They looked at Ye Wei in the depth of field, as if they saw a demon, and there was no stomach in half an hour.
"What?" Ye Wei walked over in person, looking in disbelief. "Half an hour is not enough? Do you still have to coax your mother to sleep? That's my sister! Anna has no objection, don't tell me, you can't even compare to a 10-year-old girl's physical strength."
Anna made an exaggerated expression of disgust and curled her lips, "I think that's it."
"Okay, I know!" Everyone laughed and shouted, "If I die of overwork, who will you help me tell my family?", "Is there a bonus?", "Haha!"
"Bonus? Who can help me massage my shoulders, I'll give it to him!"
"But, I'll come, I'll come, hehe..."
Chapter completed!
