Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 15: Breaking out of the shell, what are the responsibilities of the assistant director?

Qin Feng has moved to an apartment, a two-bedroom apartment with minimalist and personalized decoration, spacious and bright, with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, looking at the alarm clock, and getting ready to sleep.

Jingle Bell……

It was Scarlett calling, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hello? Scarlett."

"Qin Feng, I'm watching the entertainment news. Your movie is on."

"Yeah, sorry, I forgot to tell you."

"I found that you are still very photogenic. You are very handsome today."

"No way, I'm not an actor, what's the use of being handsome?"

"Of course it works! Haven't you seen that several media outlets are commenting on you?"

"Ahem... Today's start-up is really noisy. Maybe Hollywood hasn't made a science fiction movie for a long time."

"Well, I really envy you. I hope your filming of "Jurassic Park" goes well and is a hit at the box office!"

"Thank you. I'll get off work early another day and I'll treat you to dinner."

"Yeah!"

……

The film was officially shot. Since the script and storyboards were already relatively detailed, we just had to follow the steps every day.

As the first deputy director, Qin Feng assists the director in managing the entire crew. His main work content is time management + organizational management + communication skills.

Communicate instructions from the director team, actors and departments, and plan the schedule.

Some tasks are relatively trivial, but Qin Feng handles them very well.

He often holds a large notebook with detailed processes and forms to record some issues at any time.

In less than a week, I had contact with almost all the staff.

Everyone has a very good impression of him, he is sunny, handsome and serious in his work.

Today, we filmed an indoor scene:

Led by boss Hammont, several main actors entered the Dinosaur Research Institute for the first time.

Revealing his true intentions in building "Jurassic Park".It turns out that Hammont used modern biological genetic engineering technology.

It shows the plot of extracting the genetic genes of dinosaurs from a mosquito that has sucked dinosaur blood, and then cultivating dinosaur embryos for reproduction.

Among them, some shots are entirely two-dimensional animation.

But the most important set of shots is the scene of a small dinosaur emerging from an egg.

Since this set of shots are all close-ups, the little dinosaur used a mechanical model.

Several actors gathered in front of the incubation container, brewing their emotions.

All units are ready.

Spielberg sat in front of the monitor, holding a walkie-talkie.

The photography assistant said: "B036, scene 2, third shot! Get ready...Action!"

The camera zooms in slowly.

In the shocked eyes of several leading actors.

The eggshell in front of him slowly broke, and a young dinosaur broke through the eggshell, got its head out, and made a small cry.

Several people got closer and closer, cheering for the little dinosaur.

Boss Harmont clenched his fists and said softly: "Yes, that's it."

Laura Dunn: "Very good..."

There was an Asian scientist Dr. Wu next to him, and he said: "We designed it like that."

The little dinosaur shook his head and opened his eyes in confusion.

Laura Dunn exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God! Look at what they look like..."

At this time, Spielberg picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted softly: "Cut!"

Shooting pauses.

Qin Feng was right next to Director Si, "Director, what's wrong?"

Director Si pointed to the ring light on the incubation table and said: "There is a problem with the lighting. The entrance is a bit dark, and the faces of several characters are too dark."

Qin Feng stood up and said, "I understand."

"Qin, there's more." Director Si stopped him, "The baby dinosaur's posture when it comes out of its shell is still a bit stiff. You can talk to the model team and make the movements as gentle as possible."

"clear."

Qin Feng arrived at the scene soon.Laura Dunn asked: "Qin Feng, is there something wrong with the performance? Let's do it again."

"No, the teachers performed very well. It's just a problem with the lighting and props."

He found the props team and model team and quickly communicated with everyone.

"The lighting is a bit cold and dim. Let's try changing to a warm color and try to make it a little brighter."

"When the little dinosaur comes out of its shell, can it be a little softer? The shots just now were a bit stiff."

"no problem."

"Okay, Qin Feng."

The two people in charge made OK gestures and went to adjust separately.

After everyone finished adjusting, Qin Feng returned to Director Si.

"B036, scene 2, third shot! Get ready...Action!"

With the wonderful performances of the actors and the silky movements of the young dinosaurs, this plot is expressed heartily.

Even Spielberg was so mesmerized that he almost forgot to shout stop.

Qin Feng reminded him gently, and Director Si finally reacted: "Cut!"

After saying that, he stood up and clapped, "Oh~~ This part is wonderful!"

“Everyone is doing great!”

Everyone clapped and cheered each other on.

Director Si turned to Qin Feng and said, "Qin, you are becoming more and more suitable for being on the set. That's great!"

Qin Feng smiled and said: "That's because I have learned a lot from you."

"And...I can't finish learning."

"Hahaha..." Director Si laughed, "There is an old Chinese saying, what is it...you are getting better and better at flattering..."

Work is intense and fun.

Every day is a new challenge.

This afternoon, Qin Feng took the time to call Scarlett.

"Hey Scarlett, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, I have!"

"I'll treat you to dinner, next to the Avenue of Stars. Western food. I'll send you the specific address."

"Aren't you going to film at night?"

"Today's progress is finished."

"Okay, see you tonight, bye~~"

"Bye~~"

The Walk of Fame is a pedestrian street in Hollywood with more than 2500 five-pointed terrazzo and brass "stars" inlaid on it.

Each "star" represents a person who has made outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry, recording the names of actors, musicians, directors, producers, music groups...

In a nearby neighborhood, Qin Feng came to a Western-style restaurant early and waited for the beauty.

After a while, Scarlett walked in wearing a long purple windbreaker.

She searched for a while and saw Qin Feng.

Walk a few steps quickly, "Qin Feng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long again."

Qin Feng smiled and said: "It's okay, I just arrived. Before that, I want to say something to you..."

"what?"

"You look so beautiful today."

"Ah, haha... wasn't it beautiful before?"

The two of them ordered steak, salad, broccoli, etc., and Qin Feng ordered a bottle of red wine.

Scarlett looked at him, "How is it? Qin Feng, is the filming going smoothly?"

"It's not bad. There are some small problems every day, especially with mechanical models and special effects. What about you?"

"I'm almost done."

"Oh, by the way." She thought of something, "Can you come to the scene when I finish filming?"

"Huh?" Qin Feng was stunned, "Is it appropriate for me to go to the scene...?"

"It's appropriate. You're already in the circle, so there's nothing inappropriate about it."

"Just for me, can't you?"
