Chapter 9
"Crack, pass!"

Two days later, June 5th.

The scenes on the beach have already been filmed, and the scenes on the sea have to be saved until the end.

The props that Tang An ordered from the Xiangshan Film and Television Base, the whale, will take some time to complete, and there are some surfing scenes where Yang Mi is not yet proficient.

Although the Xiangshan Film and Television Base is not yet open to the public, the overall departmental structure has been established, and some equipment used for filming can be rented there.

Customized props, costumes, and location building are also available. Tang An ordered a few days ago, a whale model more than 30 meters long, guaranteed to float in the water.

A deposit of 1000 yuan has been paid, and the subsequent 2000 yuan will be paid upon delivery.

Even though this was 2004, 3000 yuan was already very cheap to make such a huge model. When Tang An asked in Hengdian, it was impossible to do it without 1 yuan.

This is also the advantage of the new film and television base. Not only does it give the crew more choices, but there will be a lot of discounts to attract popularity when it just opened.

After saying hello to Dabao and Sanbao, I packed up my equipment and loaded it into the car to go back to the village. I will stay in that pond for the next half a month to shoot.

"Here, here it is for you, you have worked hard, remember to do your homework after eating!"

Tang An patted Dabao's head and handed him a bag of snacks.

It's the May [-]th long holiday, and there is still some time before the busy farming season, so these two boys are helping out with the crew.

"Thank you, Brother An!" Dabao cheered, and got into the car with Sanbao and started sharing snacks.

At this time, Yang Mi came over wearing a coat, "Director."

"what happened?"

"Um...can I swim in the sea for a while? It's been a few days and I haven't even been in the water!" Yang Mi begged with big watery eyes.

Originally, she thought that filming at the beach would be fun, but in the past few days, all the scenes on the shore were filmed, and most of the scenes in the sea were filmed in a small pond, which greatly disappointed her.

"Well, I'll give you half an hour, come back at 5 o'clock, the village chief is still waiting for us to have dinner!" Tang An looked at the cheap electronic watch on his wrist and nodded.

"Miss Xu, please watch carefully, nothing will happen!"

"Director Tang, don't worry!"

As Xu Manyun said, he also changed into his swimsuit and went into the water with Yang Mi, and left the beach after a while.

After waiting in the car for a while, the two of them got into the car at 5:10 and [-]:[-], all wet.

Ten minutes late, Tang An didn't say anything for the first time, but turned around and asked, "Wipe yourself dry and just wear your clothes like this. The tent has been put away just now!"

The moment he turned his head, Tang An looked at the figures of the two of them. Yang Mi's had been seen a long time ago. He didn't expect that Xu Manyun's figure was not worse than Yang Mi's at all. He was a little taller, he should be 168, and She looks much more mature than Yang Mi.

Yang Mi is only about 163 now. Later, many female stars announced that their height is 168. The official data of Fan Binbin, Angela, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying are all 168cm.

I don't know what's so good about this number.

After they got dressed, Tang An started the car and drove to the village.

"Sister Yun, the sea is so comfortable, it's much more spacious than the swimming pool, can we come tomorrow!" Yang Mi chirped.

"It's up to you, you can swim if you have time!" Xu Manyun brushed her hair and said with a smile.

"Now I think it's fun. After another week, I guess you won't want to go to sea for a year!" Tang An, who was driving, interrupted.

Soaking in the water for at least 12 hours a day, it would be strange to want to go swimming!

"Why?" Yang Mi asked puzzled.

Tang An smiled, "You will know tomorrow!"

The next day, Yang Mi really understood what Tang An meant!
"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Expression. Expression! Pay attention to the movement of your body!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

A whole morning has passed, and today I haven't finished shooting a single scene, and Yang Mi also soaked in the water tank for more than four hours.

"Okay, come out, eat first!"

Tang An looked at the time and said helplessly.

This is the first scene in the water, the scene where Yang Mi is bitten by a shark and falls into the water at the beginning of the film.

Most of the underwater scenes are shot in water tanks, and various rocks and sand are arranged in the water tanks as the scenery of the seabed.

Set the scene board behind, drawing various water plants or other backgrounds.When shooting, put the camera on the front of the water tank, as long as there is no reflection on the glass, and there is no frame brought into the water tank in the picture, the picture taken is as real as shooting in water.

It's not a complicated shot, but Yang Mi can't get into the mood no matter what.

Yang Mi, who climbed out of the water tank, looked at Tang An embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, director!"

"Hey, let's eat first, let's talk in the afternoon!"

Tang An sighed, but did not scold her.

Young actors sometimes need more encouragement, and scolding harshly will make her lose confidence and even affect her mental state, which is even more harmful than the gain.

During the meal, Tang An kept thinking about how to get Yang Mi into a state of mind. He had trained many actors, and people of different ages, genders, identities, and experiences needed different methods to prescribe the right medicine.

Yang Mi, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and picked up his meal, and looked up at Tang An from time to time.

As soon as his eyes touched Tang An's expressionless face, he immediately shrank back, not daring to look at him.

The director seems to be angry, it looks so scary!

Yang Mi ate in fear, and after taking the last bite, Tang An's voice came from his ear.

"Take a break for 10 minutes and come over on time at 12:[-]!"

After leaving a word, Tang An went back to the backyard and started to prepare.

When Tang An was gone, Yang Mi said with confusion, "Sister Manyun, am I a bad actor?"

Xu Manyun knew how important the state of an actor was. If he didn’t have confidence, then the subsequent filming would be even more difficult, so he persuaded, “Mi Mi, you don’t have to worry, this is just the beginning of filming, NG is normal, so big Celebrities will also encounter such situations when they are filming, so you should think about how to act."

"En!" Yang Mi clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and after sitting for 2 minutes, she came to Tang An's side.

"Director, I can start now!"

"Let's change clothes!"

Tang An readjusted the lights. Yang Sijia left a lot of blood after being bitten by a shark, and needed to dye all the water in the tank red.

But blood plasma is a bit expensive, and the dye is difficult to wash and hurts the body. Tang An made a compromise and decided to shine red light into the water to create an illusion that the water was dyed red!

"Later it will be the same as in the morning, move up slowly, understand?" Tang An told Sanbao who was in charge of the lighting.

"Brother An, I know, it wasn't my fault this morning!" Sanbao nodded vigorously, and glanced at Yang Mi who had finished changing her clothes, making her face full of embarrassment.

"go in!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Lighting, photography preparation!"

"No. 15 games, one shot, 23 times!"

"start!"
