This director needs to apologize

Chapter 336 How can anyone read the Luminous Script at 8 o'clock?
The filming started at around 5 o'clock in the evening, and the five leading actors were in place at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The extras came right after lunch because they needed to rehearse their moves.

The class had to line up half a day in advance to take graduation photos, let alone a group activity that strives to be natural and lively.

Unlike in the past, Chen Yiming did not arrange a special assistant director for the crew of "The Thirteenth Floor". He only temporarily hired an old director from the Phantom Studio to train the extras.

He handed over all internal docking work in the crew to the three executive producers.

Except for the parkour part that Mr. Xie Tianfang was responsible for, the filming of "The Thirteenth Floor" was not very difficult. It was completely different from "Mulan" and "1951", and it was more difficult to shoot than "Holiday in the City".

Therefore, Chen Yiming is very willing to use this shooting to train his team. Once these behind-the-scenes training is completed, he can mass-produce fantasy science fiction films in the future.

As soon as lunch was over, the extras rushed to the set one after another. The assistants first organized the positions, and then took a test shot of each camera to see the effect.

After the sample came out, Chen Yiming played it once on the monitor, sent out his modification comments, and then did it again.

This is repeated three to four times. After Chen Yiming confirms that the plan is approved, the extras can take a break. For the first three extras with large and numerous scenes and even close-ups, the extras director will start another round of small scenes alone.

Next, several leading actors will be replaced, and this time it will be more intensive. Chen Kun on the bow is pretty good, the angle is relatively fixed, and the interval between test shots is relatively short. After two or three times, you can go back to the rest area and wait for the actual shooting.

After struggling all afternoon, I finally finished adjusting the shooting plan before the sun went down.

At the end of the bridge, a camera truck with a police car frame was dragged onto the bridge. In the driver's seat, Liu Yijun, who was "driving" the car seriously, began to speak his lines. Song Yi, the co-pilot, held up the window and looked at the river view outside the window with excitement.

Just this afternoon, the stills of Chen Yiming's new film have been widely circulated on the Internet, and pictures of the five leading actors showing raw meat are everywhere.

Of course, since the cable car travels irreversibly and its speed cannot be adjusted, the redundancy left for the crew is only about one minute at most. If it were any later, the position of the cable car would be too far and the camera crew could not save it.

For the two groups of people on the bridge and the cable car, the time and space coordination is rather subtle. The camera position, the actors, and the moving cable car need to be just right, especially the close-ups of the actors. Any deviation in the angle will cause the effect to be completely different.

The three shooting locations, two high and one low, do not require a mechanized fixed shooting plan. Theoretically, the period from when the cable car arrives over the Yangtze River to one-third of the river surface can be regarded as "shooting time."

At 5: p.m., the extras on the pier had already begun to get excited according to the rehearsal. The cable car started from the higher urban area. The assistant holding the walkie-talkie kept an eye on the phone with a countdown set, waiting to prepare for the bridge head. The moment the police car issued the command.

You can't use a stand-in for this, because it involves not only the position, but also the performance. The two groups of people are in a natural state in their respective positions, rather than posing in a frozen state.

Especially the two people in the cable car, the viewing distance is very close, giving people an immersive feeling.

The walkie-talkie kept ringing, and shooting on location with natural light at dusk is a classic topic in film production. A master's thesis can be written anytime and anywhere.

The photography assistant added 15 seconds to the scheduled countdown and finally shouted the start.

In addition, the protagonist is Lao Pan, who has a "spotlight" physique. Because he just won the first trial, he is at the peak of popularity.

Because there are so many uncontrollable factors, directors can always encounter new problems that need to be solved immediately.

At this time, Chen Yiming, the director, is just a decoration, and the shooting can only be carried out according to the pre-planned plan. If the bridge does not report but applies, and Chen Yiming has to wait for a moment to think before replying, then the day lily will be cold.

At the same time, the pier was as lively as the Spring Festival. Crew members in neat uniforms set up a trestle between the pier and the luxury yacht, laid out a red carpet, and set up lectures. The elegant old butler walked off the trestle and put some money in his pocket. He took out the exquisite invitation and read out each name in front of the restless crowd.

As a result, Liu Yijun and Song Yi sunbathed on the bridge for more than two hours. At the same time, Pan Yueming and Song Jia took the cable car one after another.

According to the sunset light and real-time cloud conditions, the cable car group can adjust the viewing angle of the camera. Not only can the angle be adjusted on the bridge, but the position can also be slightly changed. As long as the composition of the three is harmonious, the shooting can be regarded as successful.

At this moment, Chen Yiming's walkie-talkie received a notification from the bridge photography team that the cloud cover had exceeded and that additional fill light was needed urgently, and the delay was postponed for 15 seconds.

During the previous test shooting, the cable car was not open. Chen Yiming was not so proud and could "occupy" the Chongqing River Crossing Cableway for a whole day.

Finally, the extras were in place, the lead actor touched up his makeup, and took advantage of the last cable car before dark for a real shot!

Inadvertently, "The Thirteenth Floor" did a wave of pre-release publicity, and it didn't cost a penny.

The camera seat buried in the group performance followed a lucky person away from the crowd, and followed her gaze from bottom to top to the bow of the ship. Across the high ship's side, one could see the awning like lotus petals, like the crown of a king's car. , just right to cover half of the figure sitting leisurely.

At this time, in the high position of the ship, Chen Kun, who was like an emperor with his chin propped up, was surrounded by no one else, turning his head, chin, arms, legs and even his whole body in a circle, well, except for his face.

After the camera moved away, Chen Kun raised his head and looked at the cable car in front of him according to the shooting plan, showed a meaningful smile, then straightened up, raised his right hand and "shot".

At this time, Song Jia received a signal from the assistant next to her in the cable car and immediately leaned back. Pan Yueming, who was watching the river view with great interest, asked her with a smile.

"What's wrong with you? Seasick, airsick, or water sick?"

"It's nothing." Song Jia's face remained unchanged and she regained her original composure. She wanted to say something to Pan Yueming, but as the perspective slowly shifted, the figure on the bow of the boat was gradually obscured, and she still did not speak.

At this time, on the bridge, Liu Yijun leaned against the railing and said to Song Yi, who was lying on the railing greedily admiring the river view, what Song Jia wanted to say but did not say.

"No, no, no, that's not a cruise ship, that's a place where water and sky connect, the Taoyuan Township that many people dream of.

Young Master beauty pageant? Hahaha, how could you have such an idea?

As far as I know, he's not interested in the kind of cheesy pastime you might imagine. If there's a reason, I'd guess it's boredom or loneliness.

who is he? It's better you don't know.

Come on, it's time for us to go and get down to business. "

Liu Yijun squinted at the cable car that was moving within his sight. He pushed the mirror over his shoulder, and the viewfinder framed the cable car bathed in red and colorful colors of the setting sun, as well as the river view of the water and sky behind the cable car.

Song Yi asked strangely, "Is there anything wrong with that cable car?"

Liu Yijun withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the police car, and replied dully, "It's nothing. I only found out today that this is what the Jiangsu Cable Car looks like from this position. Thank you."

As the cable car swung toward the south bank without hesitation, the two camera crews in mid-air ended their work one after another, but the extras at the pier did not disband.

To seize the last bit of sunset light, the crew had to shoot as much additional footage as possible, mainly low-camera close-ups and close-ups.

A quarter of an hour later, the whole day's shooting officially ended. In fact, it couldn't be over because it was getting dark.

After dinner, the crew returned to the hotel. Chen Yiming was reading material in his suite when he heard the doorbell ringing. When he opened the door, he saw it was Chen Kun.

Just as he was about to let Brother Kun go into the room after saying hello, a weak female voice came from behind him. Chen Kun turned sideways and entered the room. Only then did Chen Yiming realize that there was a quail-like Song Yi standing outside the door.

Teasing the corner of his mouth towards the girl, Chen Yiming let her in too.

After sitting down on the sofa, Chen Yiming asked with a smile, "Why are you two here together?"

Chen Kun pouted, and Song Yi quickly explained, "Teacher Chen and I are not together, we just happened to meet at the door."

Chen Kun added, "When I turned in, I saw her cowering at your door. I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Song Yi's face changed drastically, and Chen Yiming was completely speechless. What kind of look in your eyes, how could anyone read the Luminous Script at 8pm?

Chen Yiming ignored him and asked Song Yi, "Xiao Song, what do you want from me?"

Song Yi looked embarrassed, her head stiff as if she didn't know what to do. Chen Kun said impatiently, "I'll leave first and come back after you finish your work."

Chen Yiming patted him on the shoulder and held him down, and said to Song Yi, "Xiao Song, you don't have to worry about him. Just pretend that he doesn't exist. If you have anything to say, just tell him."

We can't let Chen Kun leave, otherwise wouldn't he be looking for trouble?

Song Yi took a breath and said, "Director Chen, I just wanted to ask if there was any problem with my performance today. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my performance in the afternoon was not very good and I failed to keep up with Teacher Liu's reaction.

It's such a big scene today, I'm worried about causing trouble to the crew. "

The person being asked didn't feel anything, but Chen Kun had a big reaction. He turned around and stared at Chen Yiming awkwardly.

Chen Yiming smiled and said, "I just started looking at the material and you came here. How should I answer this? But I looked at the monitor this afternoon and I really didn't see any problems.

Don't feel pressure, Xiao Song. You performed very well and I'm very satisfied. "

Chen Yiming's words didn't completely relax Song Yi, but she didn't dare to ask why anymore. She stood up and bowed to Chen Yiming, then left "Thank you, Director Chen, goodbye, Teacher Chen" and ran away.

When Song Yi came to the door, Chen Kun asked, "Do you really think she can act well?"

Chen Yiming replied, "You can't tell if there is a problem, one is underground and the other is in heaven."

Chen Kun leaned back tactically, crossed his shoulders and replied, "I'm not just asking about today."
