I'm not just a director

Chapter 85 Shooting

Jiang Pei'an rushed to the headquarters of Lionsgate the next day, and Old Brown took him to meet several new actors of "Saw" he was looking for.

Three days have passed since the basics of filming were settled.

Jiang Pei'an didn't have any ink marks either, so he came directly to the conference room of the "Chain Saw" project department on the morning of the fourth day.

At this time, the conference room was already full of people. Vancouver is an inclusive immigrant city.

Aboriginal culture and immigrant culture coexist harmoniously here.

Therefore, there are basically all kinds of people in the conference room, mainly Chinese and Caucasians.

After Jiang Pei'an walked into the meeting room, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

Curiosity, admiration, and doubts are all in the eyes.

He turned a deaf ear to the front row and sat down, and then Old Brown came late with a cane.

After all the personnel arrived, the producer began to speak, and the director spoke.

This meeting is called Set Safety Meeting (safety meeting).

Mainly the first assistant director will introduce the names of all the main creators and what their respective jobs are.

Get to know each other first.

It will also tell everyone where the fire escape on the set is, where the nearest hospital is, and where the first aid kit is.

When will the shooting end, when will the meal time be and other specific matters.

Everything must be explained clearly in advance.

There are related film unions in Canada. After joining the union, it can protect the interests of every practitioner.

In the case of unreasonable or damaging crews, the relevant trade unions have the right to stop the crew from filming.

After a whole morning of running-in and getting along, Jiang Pei'an had a general understanding of everything.

These people are all professional crew workers, and Jiang Pei'an doesn't need to say anything, they have already started to think about it according to the script.

The two protagonists of "Chain Saw", one is Dr. Lawrence played by Ryan, and the other is Adam played by Smick.

Smick didn't know where Old Brown found the actor. Jiang Pei'an had tried his play, and it was surprisingly good.

He is also the highest paid actor in the entire cast, almost twice as much as Dobby Ryan.

However, later generations should not have gained any reputation, so that Jiang Pei'an had never heard of him.

After the meeting, Jiang Pei'an took the crew members on the bus and rushed to the shooting location.

Old Brown asked someone to find an old abandoned warehouse, which was refitted and used as the shooting location for the main scenes.

The whole environment is depressing and gloomy, which is a bit like the original film.

After entering the set, the staff began to be busy, setting up lights, setting the scene, and arranging the camera positions.

Jiang Pei'an also took advantage of this time to come over and give lectures to Ryan and Smic.

Just like filming in China, this time Jiang Pei'an still chose to shoot simple scenes first.

There are not many scene cuts in "Chain Saw", and most of the scenes have to be completed in this converted old warehouse.

"Okay, all departments are ready!"

After telling the two of them about the play, the camera positions and the set are almost set up.

Jiang Pei'an returned to the monitor and asked the props to release the dry ice.

The whole studio was suddenly smoky, and with the flickering lights from time to time, it felt quite dark and weird.

Looking at the picture on the monitor, Jiang Pei'an nodded in satisfaction and shouted:
"start!"

……

The shooting in the morning was all literary and drama, the dialogue between Ryan and Smick, with a little action from time to time.

The filming went smoothly. The only thing that gave Jiang Pei'an a headache was that it was winter.

The weather in Vancouver is basically maintained at around 3°, and with the cold and damp warehouses, the temperature is even lower.

And the two people in the play are always wearing thin clothes and talking, which makes the actors very cold.

"Director, can I pass?"

Ryan came to the monitor tremblingly and asked.

This product is so frozen that it is estimated that there is no thought of playing tricks.

Jiang Pei'an nodded, indicating that he could take the next one.

The actors are still very dedicated, and there was basically no complaint or complaint during the whole morning of filming.

"The filming is finished in the morning, Smick, come over here."

Jiang Pei'an said to Simick.

"Director, you are looking for me."

Smic came to Jiang Pei'an.

He was wearing a windbreaker, and the makeup on his face hadn't been removed.

"To maintain strength at noon, it is best to take in more calories. In the afternoon, we will shoot the scene of the bathtub."

"I have read the shooting announcement."

Smick was a little bit hesitant, said very little, and looked at Jiang Pei'an with some unkind eyes.

This is a thorny actor!

Jiang Pei'an maintained the smile on his face and said:
"When this movie is released, I think there will be many female fans who will like you."

Smick heard this and said indifferently:

"I don't like women."

After finishing speaking, he turned around coolly and left.

Jiang Pei'an was surprised, there are indeed a lot of homosexuals abroad...

After a short break, the whole crew entered a busy state again.

Smick resolutely walked into the bathtub, which was already filled with warm water.

Even so, when Smick got into the bathtub, he couldn't help shivering.

"All departments prepare, start!"

This scene is the first scene at the beginning of the movie, Adam wakes up in the dark from a bathtub filled with water.

Something shiny was flushed down the bathtub drain.

A hot opening that is guaranteed to keep the audience's attention in the film.

However, there are some flaws at the beginning of the original film, and Warner's performance is really a bit exaggerated.

In the darkness, Adam started shouting, and then the lights suddenly turned on.

Another main character enters, Dr. Lawrence.

A claustrophobic space, a terrifying atmosphere, and two men whose feet were chained.

At the beginning, [-]% of the eye-catching task has been basically completed.

Lawrence and Adam startle when a body that appears to have been shot in the head is revealed.

Ninety percent of the audience has already been caught by this beginning...

Although the opening bathtub scene was simple, it tested the actors extremely.

Smic NGed more than a dozen, but still didn't pass.

Jiang Pei'an frowned, this is not going to work...
