Chapter 76

4 month 20 number.

The last day of shooting for "Cruise of Horrors."

There are still two scenes, 9 shots, and today's filming is over.

Tang An got up earlier than usual today, got up at 6 o'clock and got dressed.

Pedestrians pass by in twos and threes on the street outside the window, and those who rush to work at this time are either sanitation workers or bus drivers.

The two breakfast stalls remained in place as usual.

After washing up, Tang An sat on the table and started preparing for today's shooting.

9 shots, not too much, not too little, as long as everything goes well, it can still be completed on time.

Shot scripts, to see what needs to be fine-tuned, the lighting and photography techniques of each shot must be thought out in advance, and communicate with the photographer and lighting engineer at that time.

Sets, props, makeup.
Every detail must be kept in mind.

The actor's position, every movement and expression must have a general impression.

He was busy until 7:[-], half an hour before the filming started, Tang An packed up and went downstairs to the set.

Along the way, the entire hotel was empty, obviously everyone had already rushed to the set.

When I came to the set, the atmosphere was a little relaxed.

As long as today's shooting is over, you can rest for a while, and everyone's tense nerves can finally relax a little.

However, all of this is still based on the premise that the filming can be completed smoothly today. Everyone spontaneously stayed at their posts and made final preparations.

Tang An went to the one in front of the monitor and shouted around, "Come here, get me a bowl of porridge, put more pickles, and bring me two buns!"

Not long after, Zhao Lei came over with a bowl of porridge and a bag in his hand, and came to Tang An with a flattering face.

"Director, breakfast is here!"

"Old Zhao can just send a field manager to get it. Why do you have to do it yourself!" Tang An took it with a smile.

There are still a lot of things, such as steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, sugar pancakes, and minced meat pancakes in plastic bags.
"Today's crew had a hearty breakfast!" Tang An put both cakes into a bowl, took a bite and sipped the porridge.

"Just now there was a breakfast shop at the gate of the base, so I bought some along the way, and you haven't eaten yet, director!" Zhao Lei rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Tang An was noncommittal.

"It's been more than a month, and I haven't found any stewed and fried liver buns nearby. It seems that you, Zhao, are better at finding food than I am!"

Zhao Lei was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I don't have any other hobbies, but I like to eat. Everywhere I go, I look for something delicious nearby!"

Tang An was not disgusted with his flattering behavior, on the contrary, it was good to have a dog by his side.

"Okay, go get busy too, today should be the last day, go finish the finishing work!" Tang An waved his hand.

It took 5 minutes to finish breakfast, and my stomach felt a little bloated.

Tang An stood up and looked around, giving pointers from time to time.

After feeling digested a bit, he clapped his hands and called everyone over.

"All stop!"

Tang An looked around, "Today is the last day of filming for our crew, and everyone is very excited!"

"I'm excited too!"

There were smiles on everyone's faces, as if when they were in school, every day before the holiday, no matter how much they were scolded by the teacher, how many homework were not handed in, and how many points they scored in the exam.

At that time, it was definitely the happiest moment of the week, even more fun than when I was playing on Saturdays and Sundays.

Tang An gradually put away his smile and straightened his face!
"but!"

"Give me [-] points of energy today, and come out with the state of the previous few days!"

"When will the filming be over and when will we call it a day? If someone goes wrong and affects the filming, then don't blame me for falling out!"

Tang An didn't want them to lose the chain at the last moment, he had to keep them in a sense of urgency!
Everyone tensed up, and then put away the smiles on their faces.

During this period of time, everything went smoothly for the production crew. Tang An basically didn't spit dirty words, but they didn't forget that in the first few days of filming, everyone in the production crew was sprayed all over.

Tang An asked everyone to disband, took the team leaders to inspect the studio, and discussed the details of the shooting carefully.

At 8:[-], the crew started filming on time.

"No.40 four games, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

With Tang An's heavy bang, the crew immediately started to run.

The studio arranged as the bottom of the cabin was dim, with only a few incandescent lamps at the top emitting faint light.

Xu Jinglei ran in from the door in a panic. She saw another self in the corridor just now, and followed her companion to the boat.

Everything was exactly the same as what she had experienced before.

She leaned on the side and walked forward in a vain manner, with one hand still pressed on her head, as if she was suffering some kind of pain.

Tang An nodded in front of the monitor. There was nothing wrong with Xu Jinglei's performance, and her image fit the role very well. After more than a month of filming, her performance was impeccable.

"Okay, let's go!"

The first few short shots of the first scene ended at 12 o'clock. Seeing that there was still some time, Tang An thought about shooting another shot.

In the next scene, the heroine finds a pile of notes on the ground with the same sentence written on it.

If they get on board, kill them all!
"No. 40 five scenes, one shot once!"

"start!"

In the camera, Xu Jinglei was lying on the ground writing that sentence on the paper, her expression was urgent, with a hint of disbelief.

After finishing writing, she took it and compared it with other notes, and found that the handwriting was exactly the same, as if it had been copied.

The expressions, movements, the micro-movements of flipping through the notes, and the trembling hands of writing are simply perfect.

Tang An just wanted to shout OK, but found a trace of abnormality, he immediately shouted stop!
"Kah, wait!"

Tang An stared at every part of the monitor carefully, and then shouted, "Old Zhou"

"Director!" The photographer Zhou Jixun ran over nervously, seeing Tang An's unfriendly expression, his heart twitched.

"Check the camera, why is the color cast in the picture, and see if there is any problem with the white balance!" Tang An pointed at him and said loudly.

Zhou Jixun quickly checked the camera and proofread it repeatedly, and then said, "Director, there is no problem!"

"Old Zhang!" Tang An shouted at Zhang Yiping again.

"Bring a color analyzer and check the monitor brightness, contrast, gamma, color temperature."

Zhang Yiping's heart tightened, and he quickly took out the color analysis kit from the warehouse, and made color corrections on the monitor.

It quickly turned out that the gamma was a bit off, causing a difference in the brightness of the light output on the monitor.

"Old Zhang, what did you do? You have to calibrate the monitor before every shooting. How could you forget this time!"

This is also because the lighting of this scene is a little brighter than the previous scene, and the color cast looks obvious. Otherwise, Tang An would not be so easy to see through at a glance. His main energy is focused on Xu Jinglei's performance!
"I'm sorry Director Tang, it was my negligence!" Zhang Yiping didn't make excuses and apologized repeatedly!
After working together for so long, he is well aware of Tang An's temper, and he will suffer when he scolds you. No matter whether you are wrong or not, first admit your mistakes and then correct them!
If you dare to talk back, it will be miserable!

"Okay, let's eat, and shoot in the afternoon!"

Being so delayed, it was almost 12 o'clock, so I decided to have dinner first, take a break and continue filming.

After being scolded by Tang An, the shooting in the afternoon went much smoother. Everyone paid more attention, for fear that something might go wrong.

At 4 p.m., the last shot was over.

Tang An called out all the films shot today, watched them several times, and after confirming that there were no problems, he stood up and shouted at everyone with a loudspeaker.

"I announce!"

"The movie is finished!"
