England 1986

Chapter 50

Allen was not in a hurry to get them up, but lowered his head, watching the two old servants finally kneel down at his feet, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, this is the benefit of nobility, throwing out a small title can make people People are grateful for Dade's kneeling in front of themselves to show their loyalty.

"it is good!"

"Karl won't be back for a long time, and then return to the United States to register the company after Christmas."

"Thank you, Master!"

Old Carl knew that it was the young master who asked him to stay at home for a few more days because of his years of hard work.

After Alan rewarded the two butlers, he didn't care about the two of them.

Hu Te is an old housekeeper, giving him a reward will also make him work better for himself in the future.

As for Old Carl, he will be asked to help him in the United States in the future, and he will have the status of a lord in the future, which will make it easier for him to work there.

Light gray thick sweatpants, black long down jacket, and a cotton cap, this is Allen's current outfit.

After staying at home for three days, the entire crew finished preparations and officially started the filming.

There was no opening ceremony or anything like that.

In the hotel where the actors auditioned, the first scene was filmed.

This time the production crew took too much time before and after the preparations. Allen was really tormented by the inefficient way of doing things of these foreigners. If he didn't urge them with a whip behind him, he would ink for another month or two. It is not impossible.

Still in that suite, after being arranged as a location for shooting, the arrangement of some props was rearranged, and the filming was ready.

Allen's shooting plan is to shoot at the hotel in Carmarthen Town in front of his house first, and then go to Gambia to shoot the scene at the end.

The general flow of the whole film is that the hostess saw the advertisement in the newspaper, and the description of the black duck was really touching, and she took action under itching and bought a ticket to Gambia.

All the way to Gambia, pick the black duck you like, and then go to the hotel.

The flow of the story is as simple as that, but it is definitely not possible to shoot all of them in Gambia.

The material environment over there was too bad, so it was more convenient to stay in a hotel in front of our house, so it was enough to adjust the order of editing in the end.

After receiving the loudspeaker from Sifis, Alan lowered his head, looking at the loud speaker in his hand, his eyes were a little confused.

"this thing"

"Haha, master, our props team spent a lot of effort to make this, and it belongs to you alone."

Syphis was a little embarrassed, but slightly proud in his eyes.

What Allen is holding in his hand looks like an ordinary big speaker, but the details of the big speaker are indeed extremely gorgeous.

The overall silver-plated surface is also decorated with golden textures, especially on the handle of the big horn, and there is also the decoration of the Hill family. After such a rectification by them, the value of the whole big horn has definitely soared.

“Gorgeous”

Allen pouted, neither praising nor rejecting.

"Okay. Are the actors ready? Where's Meryl?"

"Come here. Your Excellency, I am here."

With the sound from a distance, Meryl appeared in front of Alan in a new image, which really made Alan's heart tremble twice.

It's not heart-wrenching, but it's too similar!
After the "transformation" by the makeup artist, the skin on Meryl's face looked a little slack at this time, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were visible to the naked eye, and her orange-yellow hair was also dyed into a golden color. This is the proper youth version of Thatcher!

this image
Very good, steady!
"okay."

Allen picked up his exclusive small speaker and patted the microphone.

"dong dong dong"

"Every group is in place!"

Meryl walked around the hotel room a little nervously. From time to time, she had to go to the door of the room, and lay down on the peephole to look outside, but the door was empty and there was nothing.

"Crack! Let's go to the next one!"

From start-up to shooting completion, one pass!

When Meryl heard the click, she was a little skeptical about life.

She thinks that Alan is a very serious person. She has been here for a few days, and she already knows that the legendary nobleman is the young man in front of her. However, limited by her first impression and various ancient legends of European nobles, she Still very nervous in front of Allen.

It's just the first shoot today, did it go so smoothly?

She was ready to be scolded, but
I haven't warmed up yet, and the first shot is over?
Allen didn't care about Meryl's thoughts at all, so he beckoned and asked the production staff to arrange for Xiao Heizi to appear on stage.

Cameras these days are all film, but in the era when Allen was playing photography, cameras were all digital!
At that time, the director was on the shooting scene and sat in front of the monitor with a ponytail. That was the era when the photographer could see what the picture was on the monitor.

And now?

He couldn't see anything, so he could only "blind shoot".

Although it is possible to spend a lot of money to build a device that can look at the composition a little bit, but Allen thinks it is unnecessary.

He made this film because it was simple.

The scene is simple, the characters are simple, the dialogue is simple, the shooting is simple, all aspects are simple, the actors' positioning is fine, and the other details that need attention most, only the feeling is left. These transition shots that are not important in the early stage, It's fine to pass it so-so, there is no need to waste time striving for perfection.

It's like some people watch a small movie, fast forward directly from the front, pull the progress bar to the middle, or two-thirds, and after a few minutes of pause, finally pull the progress bar directly to the end to watch the close-up.

People who watch this movie don't care about these insignificant details at all!
After a simple scene of meeting the little black duck, the two were relatively silent in the hotel room. The little black duck picked up two long stem wine glasses and poured two glasses of champagne, and first chatted with Meryl.

"Crack! Stop."

In the entire room, except for the photographer and a few necessary staff members, there were not many people left. This was to minimize the pressure on the actors and allow them to relax more.

Allen beckoned to Meryl, signaling her to come over.

"Meryl, you're not in the right mood."

"Your Excellency. What do you mean?"

Meryl blinked her big eyes and looked at Alan with some trepidation.

"Don't be so restrained. In the future, on the set, just call me the director. The emotion I want is to be more restrained. But I can't be too restrained. Do you understand? This is the product you ordered. It is shy and unable to let go. Your character design, but the overall behavior process is also determined by you in advance, there must be a sense of contradiction in it, do you understand the sense of contradiction?"

Allen pulled Meryl aside alone, lowered his head and made gestures while describing to her the emotional effect he wanted.

After listening to Alan's words, Meryl thought about it seriously, the wrinkle glue on her face twisted, and she understood what Alan meant.

"Is it the feeling that the body wants, but also a little shy and hesitant?"

"."

Listening to the old woman's blunt words, Allen pressed his tongue against the inside of his mouth.
