This director needs to apologize

Chapter 11: Repeated battles, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated battles
For the actual shooting the next day, the local neighborhood committee helped seal the exit at one end of Siming Village in advance to eliminate the impact of ordinary residents on the shooting.

However, the time for the princess to travel in the story was close to noon, and the morning sun did not meet the requirements, so the official start of filming could only be postponed to after 10 o'clock.

The crew still arrived at Siming Village early in the morning. The behind-the-scenes team prepared for filming in advance, and the cast changed clothes and put on makeup in advance.

At 9:[-], Xiangrui stood on the cloud platform to call for assembly and conduct the last rehearsal before the actual shooting.

This time there were no signs on the ground, so the actors had to control their own movements.

The record guy made a virtual board call, then stood outside the screen and held up the electronic countdown clock.

The alley seemed to have stepped out of a time pause and immediately became noisy and lively the next moment.

In the farthest corner of the camera, Lily curled her lips and walked briskly out of the arcade, joining the crowd in the alley.

In front of Chen Yiming's monitor, he stared at Lily in the center of the screen and resisted the urge to stop.

Anyway, he was in the house and the door was closed, so if he shouted, he would probably not be heard outside.

Before skipping over the vegetable-picking grandma's stall, Lily made a mistake in coordinating her movements with the extras around her.

There was enough room next to Auntie's stall for a horse to race, which made Lily's jump unnecessary, almost like jumping out of thin air.

Fortunately, he had the mental expectation to reshoot multiple times. This time it was just a rehearsal and he simply let everyone go through the process.

One minute passed in a blink of an eye. Lily handed the fruit in her hand to the primary school student, bowed slightly and saluted at the gate of Siming Village, then turned around and walked onto Julu Road.

This concludes the last rehearsal before actual shooting.

Chen Yiming walked out of the room and once again reminded the problems he just discovered in the alley.

I looked up at the sky. It was sunny today. The bright light came from the direction of the arcade, leaving very few shadows in the alley.

From 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the light during this period is still suitable. I hope 5 hours is enough.

……

The first real shot was a failure.

As soon as Lily turned out of the arcade, Chen Yiming shouted stop.

Her expression changed too early, and she had to at least wait until she was standing in the alley and among the crowd to express her slight shock, so that it would be consistent with the logic of the action.

The second real shot 5 minutes later failed.

There was something wrong with the man carrying the truck, and he couldn't catch up with Lily's back.

The third real shot in 5 minutes continued to fail.

After Lily's "thrilling jump" landed, she turned away from the fishing man.

The fourth time, failed.

The fish didn't cooperate and didn't jump out.

The fifth time, I changed to a more energetic and bigger fish, but still failed.

It jumped out, but unfortunately it jumped in the wrong direction.

The sixth time, I was defeated.

The uncle was very powerful and the fish was very cooperative. However, Lily changed her face a little early and the fish was startled before she got up.

Everyone got tired very quickly from the drama all the time, so Chen Yiming had to take a break.

Continue after 30 minutes, shoot three times in a row and still fail, reaching as far as elementary school students.

Xiaomei prepared 10 fish in advance and consumed them all in the morning.

After all, fish can't help but tossing. A fish can only be shot twice at most, and it won't be able to jump after the third time.

Taking advantage of lunch time, Chen Yiming sent Xiao Mei to buy 10 more.

At 12:[-], eat and drink enough to continue fighting.

Stop, stop, stop.

The intervals between shots became longer and longer, and by the end of the shoot all the actors were tired, and their vitality was visibly fading.

At 2 p.m., with only one hour left before the light faded, Chen Yiming decisively stopped filming.

It ends early today and will continue tomorrow morning.

If he continues filming, he will just follow the process, and the performance will definitely not meet his requirements.

I dismissed the extras and Lily, and while there was still time, I urgently called Deng Ye, Gu Yuehe and Lei Jiasheng to film the male lead's scenes first.

The indoor scenes were much easier. After two passes, I started filming directly.

Both Gu Lei and Gu Lei were experienced, and they had filmed gambling scenes before, so the filming went very quickly.

By 9 p.m., when the crew disbanded, the crew transitioned three times and shot 6 scenes. Compared to the morning, it was a take-off.

Sure enough, as long as Lily started to attack in the opposite direction, everything would be fine.

……

It was early in the morning when Chen Yiming got home at night. After washing, he collapsed on the bed and almost fell asleep.

He steeled himself, took his phone and turned on it, 12:55.

After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Fu Ruixiang's number.

He couldn't bear to disturb the heroine, and it was his duty to bother the assistant director.

Blind rang for a long time, and finally the call was connected.

Chen Yiming immediately moved the phone away from his ear, and as expected, a loud curse that combined both native and foreign language came out.

"Fake, do you know what time it is to cut down the bedding?"

After waiting for Xiangrui to vent his anger, Chen Yiming moved his phone back and spoke confidently.

"The director hasn't slept yet, how can you, the assistant director, sleep? I don't believe it!"

The voice on the other side was helplessly weakened, and he mumbled back. "What's the matter, boss? I have to get up very early tomorrow!"

"I let you retreat early to comfort the heroine, not to let you go to bed early. You must always remember your duty as an assistant director!"

"Lily is not as delicate as you think. She is a debut singer. Do you know how many hair curls the Nut singer has? The whole day's schedule is only one foot long!"

"I know she can handle it physically, but mentally? She's been stuck so many times, so there can't be any problems with tomorrow's filming."

"Ha! Let me tell you some good news. It's rare for Lily to become serious. After so many days of filming, she finally felt a little bit of the fun of making a movie until the moment before it was disbanded yesterday."

"My heroine is actually a person who tolerates setbacks. Could it be that my directorial debut can really discover a future movie queen? That would be a blessing."

"Then I would like to express my congratulations to you in advance. Your heroine is in very good condition. There is no need for the director to worry at all. Can you now allow your humble assistant director to lie down and sleep?"

"Don't be late at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. One last word, Xiangrui, you are great!"

Chen Yiming held up the phone and politely waited for the other party to hang up first. After more than ten seconds of silence, there was no subsequent sound and the call was hung up.

……

Scene No. 12 of "Holiday in the Magic City", the third day of filming.

On Xiaomei's schedule, this is already the last day of this scene.

Not being able to finish filming today means delays and cost overruns.

Chen Yiming's face was not anxious at all, because he knew that there was no point in being anxious.

It's like parents waiting outside the examination room during the college entrance examination. After completing all their responsibilities, they can only wait for the results.

Chen Yiming didn't need to remind him that just after 9:[-], Xiangrui stood on the cloud platform and all the actors were already in their places.

As usual, we go through the scene again before shooting.

The repeated running-in dozens of times was not in vain, and the performance this time was simply perfect.

After all, Mr. Fish doesn’t need to rehearse!
After a short break, at 10 o'clock sharp, the first shot of scene No. 12, and shot No. 15, started shooting.

Lily, who had lost an inch of her heels in this alley, appeared on the monitor again.

He still looks like he has just arrived, with a longing smile on his face and his body covered with happy bacteria.

Car-carrying uncle, let’s pass!

Grandma picking vegetables, come on!

Fishing man, come on!

Uncle Fish, I failed...

As expected, come again.

No. 16, the sound of the waves was still the same when Mr. Yu came out of the water for the second time, which was quite a blessing.

It's a pity that Lily bumped into it and the vegetable lady's basket was not turned over. She had to start over.

No. 17, when the man carrying the car just started, Chen Yiming shouted to stop.

Isuke's telescopic push was a little slow, and the rod master extended his rod a little early.

The two cooperated, and the recording rod came into the mirror, which was a big mistake.

N machine N has reached a new level!
After so many days of filming, Chen Yiming broke through his defense for the first time and tore off the fisherman hat on his head in helpless rage.

He can tolerate actors' mistakes. After all, it's a large group scene or a long shot, so mistakes are inevitable.

The mistakes behind the scenes are unforgivable. Everyone performs his or her duties within his own right. Deserting is irresponsible to the dozens of people in the entire team!

However, after all, he is not a tyrant on the set. Even in his previous life as a real director, he never scolded anyone in public. Now, with his new status as a savage, he can only be more restrained.

He just called everyone behind the scenes into the room and gave him a few words of encouragement.

"I know it's hard for everyone, but the teachers outside are even harder. It's sunny in August, and you have to replenish your makeup and moisturize every time you take a photo. It's not easy for both young and old!"

"The teachers are serious about their hard work and don't complain. Those of us who don't want to show off can't live up to their hard work."

"Cheer up and try to do it again next time, ah!"

"By the way, if Uncle Yu doesn't cooperate, it won't count as the next time. I didn't set up a flag!"

A burst of laughter brought Yisuke, who had his head down, and the embarrassed Master Gong'er back to their normal state.

Everyone dispersed and took their places.

Although I have never heard of the new word "setting up a flag", everyone understands the meaning.

At 10:18, No. [-] shot.

Car-carrying uncle, let’s pass!

Grandma Picking Vegetables, OK!

Fishing man, be steady!

Uncle Fish, perfect!

The vegetable-carrying lady is so beautiful!
Chen Yiming straightened his back and stared at the monitor closely. His hands were clenched into fists without realizing it, the corners of his mouth were pursed into a tight line, and his whole body was subconsciously exerting force.

He no longer paid attention to Lily's performance. He had rehearsed it so many times and filmed it so many times. As far as this shot was concerned, Lily's performance was impeccable.

The only thing he was worried about at the moment was the elementary school students finishing the job.

The BGM of "Seeking Buddha" automatically popped up in my mind. Whether I can pass it or not depends on this last tremor.

In the monitor, the primary school student appeared in seconds, skillfully pounced on the jumping fish uncle, and held his hands in front of Lily, who was crouching over.

It seemed that he was suddenly shocked by Lily's appearance, and the corners of his slightly pursed mouth instantly cracked.

From a 45-degree downward perspective, there are two smiling faces, and the sweat on their faces shines with colorful luster under the sunlight.

Chen Yiming felt that this moment was extremely beautiful!
