This director needs to apologize

Chapter 12 Celebrate eating fish and it rains heavily from the sky
"Crack!"

After Xiangrui's words fell, the crowd froze instantly.

The noise and bustle, along with the spirit of the people, were wiped away.

The actors lying in the alley all focused their attention on the walkie-talkie in Xiangrui's hand.

In the room, Chen Yiming held the walkie-talkie and made final confirmations.

"recording?"

"OJ|BK!"

"photography?"

"no problem!"

After playing this precious 1 minute of material several times, Chen Yiming himself was convinced that there was no problem.

He straightened his back, which had been stooped for a long time, and stretched out his arms in a super big waist.

As a result, as soon as he reached halfway, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You haven't shouted yet!"

Chen Yiming was startled and turned around to find Lin Xiao standing behind him with a smile.

"Xiao Shen, please come and comment. How was the filming of this episode?"

He stood up without any explanation and pushed Lin Xiao to the chair in front of the monitor, like a child who took a double hundred home and asked for praise.

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I've watched you behind my back three times. Isn't it enough for you to say that you are awesome?"

"Don't just be happy about yourself, you did shout out, they are waiting outside."

After Chen Yiming finished showing off, he picked up the walkie-talkie and tuned to Xiangrui's channel and shouted loudly.

"Xiangrui, keep one!"

The sighs outside were simply earth-shattering, and substantial resentment poured in through the crack in the door, making the people in the room shiver involuntarily.

Chen Yiming didn't dare to play anymore and quickly corrected it.

"Passed! Passed! No guarantee! No guarantee!"

The next moment came cheers, applause, and all kinds of strange laughter and curses.

After more than ten seconds, the door was slammed open, and Chen Yiming was dragged out into the alley by Xiangrui and Lily.

In the past three days of continuous practice and filming, the whole team was tortured to death by Chen Yiming. Now that the scene is over, there is no need for revenge or resentment.

The assistant director takes the lead and the heroine helps.

Under the leadership of the two people, the people behind the scenes couldn't hold back. You touched me and I pinched them, just to get a clear idea.

By the end, the teachers from the Magic Shadow Factory who had been watching with smiles were also eager to give it a try.

After all, everyone knows that the director is the half-brother of the producer.

Young Master Ma’s younger brother is Young Master Ma, that is, a kid from the Phantom Factory!

You can ravage your own children at will!
At this moment, Chen Yiming's directorial pretensions collapsed.

……

After laughing and making trouble, it was already noon.

Xiaomei brought a lunch box, and the main dish was none other than the number one hero of the crew, Mr. Fish.

Chen Yiming asked Xiaomei to prepare 15 big fish in advance just in case, and buckets were placed on the floor.

As a result, I only took 4 shots in the morning and used 3 fish to get it done, leaving a total of 12 live fish.

Simply carry the bucket with it to the restaurant next door for extra lunch.

Tasting the delicious braised fish fillets, everyone's gratitude to Mr. Fish became even stronger.

Applause bid farewell to the five "big" costars who had completed their filming in advance. Among them, the fishing uncle was quite reluctant to leave. Chen Yiming knew that the old man was obsessed with his "own granddaughter".

In the afternoon, we moved to the street of Julu Road, and the shooting speed suddenly accelerated.

The second long shot is not a long shot but a medium shot. It does not require live recording, and there are not so many coincidences in the arrangement.

Lily and the extras only need to relax and follow the whole scene, and they have a high degree of freedom in time and space.

Walk through it once, shoot it three times, and call it a day.

Strike while the iron is hot and immediately switch to shooting the third long shot outside the barber shop.

The level of difficulty has increased slightly, but not with Lily, but with photography.

In this shot, the camera movement is more complicated.In the medium shot, Lily starts, moving the camera through the Giant Deer Garden, panning the camera to follow the camera across the road, pushing the camera to change to a close-up shot of buying ice cream, pulling the camera back to a medium-long shot, and continues to move the camera past the Sapphire Apartments, to the White House at the entrance of the old electronics factory. The deer statue ends with the camera zooming over the shoulder.

They had to apply for road closure to lay the track, so the crew only had 2 hours of filming time.

Fortunately, Julu Road is not a major traffic thoroughfare, and it is during the afternoon on weekdays, so it is not difficult to apply in Da Zhuang.

After rehearsing once, at 3:[-] p.m., the track was ready and filming officially started.

The first real shot was when we were crossing the road. A cat walked in unexpectedly and took Lily a little faster, out of the frame.

Chen Yiming couldn't help but sigh. On a sunny afternoon, the beautiful girl and the cat at her feet were something that could only be encountered but not sought. What a pity.

The second actual shooting took place in Guyue River. This guy made a stupid mistake. He paid attention to the camera recorder’s prompts and forgot all the props in his hands.

The third time, Lily took the ice cream and forgot to change it. She looked very princess-like, but the co-star was left behind.

Fortunately, the extra actor who played the hawker had a life, and he continued the performance without hearing the call to stop. He turned around and called out to Lily instead of paying back the money, but instead covered the girl with another ball, which fully demonstrated the cleverness of the hawker.

Chen Yiming stared at the monitor and sighed in his heart, this is called a smooth shooting. The actor's idea was even better than the original design.

The next few shots Lao Gu took were very steady, and Chen Yiming shouted as he wished.

All the people behind the scenes burst into cheers, and Chen Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief.

The completion of three long shots means that the first hurdle of the film has been successfully passed. Except for the boat scene scheduled for filming at the end, there are no big scenes.

……

After surviving the uphill climb, it will naturally follow the downhill slope. No matter how ecstatic the ride is at the front, it will be as smooth as the ride on the back.

"Holiday in the City" is an urban scenery film, and the location scenes are naturally one after another. However, after the hard work in Siming Village, the crew gained a lot of tacit understanding, and it was very easy to cope with the subsequent location shooting.

The next week, the weather was kind and there was no heavy rain or strong wind.

Changshu Road open-air cafe, Hengshan Road Bar Street, Jing'an Temple Square, Wukang Road Building, the crew visited several famous landmarks in the magical city.

Catalyzed by the beautiful scenery, the emotional communication between the reporter and the princess gradually deepened. When they arrived in front of the Wukang Road building, they finally held hands naturally, and their intertwined eyes were as soft as cotton and tangled as silk.

Chen Yiming's decision to shoot the film was undoubtedly the right one, at least for Lily and Gu Yuehe.

Lily has no acting experience and plays the role completely as she is. She is naturally an experientialist.

Although Gu Yuehe has seriously studied the Stani system and has some foundation in methodism, his skills were accumulated from shooting ancient costumes. When he suddenly switched to the unfamiliar field of fashion movies, he would instinctively use his own experience to substitute.

After a few days of rubbing their arms together with You Er's temples, both of them were deeply or lightly involved in the drama. The emotional tension surrounding them grew from nothing to less and then more. The more they came into contact and the more they collided, the more mellow they became.

This does not even depend on the actor's subjective will. When the mood is reached, the play will be there in a matter of seconds.

The relationship between the two protagonists is gradually getting better. According to the general rules of commercial films, twists and turns are just around the corner.

Lei Jiasheng's follow-up behavior was repeatedly frustrated, and he was so angry that he accidentally missed his whereabouts. As a result, Lily noticed the clues.

Guyuehe, however, was so immersed in the princess's smile that he couldn't extricate himself. He had forgotten his original purpose for a while and became more and more immersed in playing.

In the blink of an eye, the attack and defense changed positions, and the princess suddenly woke up from the hazy love, noticed the looming man in black, and regained her responsibility.

Lei Jiasheng's follow-up shots became more and more undisguised, and he was surprised by the princess' sudden business-like smile. Guyuehe knew that he had missed the point.

As the male and female protagonists escape from the ambiguous atmosphere and return to their identities as princess and reporter, the plot begins to enter its final big turning point.

The time has come, Monday, August 8th.

According to the plan, the crew will go out on location on Anfu Road today to film the showdown between the princess and the minister.

It's a pity that God has come and it's raining heavily.

If it were any other romance film, this would be rare good weather, and the breakup scene would save the cost of renting a sprinkler truck.

However, "Holiday in Magic City" is a non-mainstream romance film, with sunshine throughout and no rainy day scenes at all.

As usual, Chen Yiming gave Lily a holiday, leaving Gu Yuehe and Lei Jiasheng to fill in the blanks.

Everyone braved the heavy rain and rushed to the Phantom Studio. The studio in the factory has many ready-made sets, and with slight modifications, the male protagonist's indoor scenes can be re-shot.

For example, the scene where the male protagonist meets the editor in the newspaper office, or the scene where the male protagonist flirts with the photographer who harms his friend, can be filmed here.

On Tuesday, it rained continuously, as if the sky was leaking, and the location scenes had to be postponed.

Lily was recalled to film the final press conference scene.

On Wednesday, it continued to rain, and the scenes in the studio had been filmed, so we had to continue our vacation.

The actors and behind the scenes can rest, and the director can always find something to do.

In the morning, I went to Modutai to keep an eye on the post-production process, and in the afternoon, I went to Moying Factory to browse the music library.

BGM is the soul of romance films. He didn't know much about the music of this time and space, so he had to race against time to make up for it.
