Chapter 115 Don’t let down your hard work for you.
The crew started filming quietly, without any publicity to the outside world.
Allen secretly increased the film's budget to an insane budget of nearly £20 million.
Once this amount is exposed, Allen will probably become famous around the world, let alone the UK.
The amount is really huge, and this doesn’t even count the amount of investment that people from the island country will make. Allen estimates that the people at Sony in this island country don’t know much about movies. How can that old guy Patrice help him make money?
How about one or two million pounds?
What is the concept of more than 20 million pounds in total?
Calculated according to this year's depressed exchange rate, it would be almost 30 million US dollars.
At this price, if you take it to Hollywood and play it seriously, you can make almost a dozen small and medium-budget movies!
If a movie like this is made with such a budget and is publicized by the outside world, it will be scolded by people who don't know the truth.
Holding his beloved cool sterling silver gilt trumpet, Allen was dressed in sportswear and wearing a sun-visible peaked cap.
There were servants dressed in low-key clothes next to him, holding parasols for him. Not far behind him was a security team of five servants, ready to give him various cold drinks at any time.
Today's scenes were not shot according to the flow of the story, but the most difficult ones were shot first.
This can be regarded as the only chase scene in this film. After the male protagonist kills someone, he is seen by the old man who is following him. The male protagonist wants to kill and silence him. The old man drives away and the male protagonist chases behind him on a bicycle.
Theoretically, you can't catch up with a car on a bicycle, but...
Isn't this a movie shoot? You have to arrange for some accidents. The old man thought about calling the police while driving.
In the original drama, the old man was using an Apple mobile phone. It was very small. He didn’t hold the phone firmly and picked it up. He held the steering wheel with one hand and fumbled for the phone with the other hand. He accidentally turned the steering wheel and the car drove into the road.
In the woods on the side, there was a car accident and crashed into the river not far from the roadside.
But now.
I don’t have such a small smartphone, but I still have to show this kind of plot, what should I do?
I can only go to Big Brother.
Regardless of whether there is a signal in the wild or whether it is a bug, this plot is arranged this way anyway.
Instead, Allen thought it would be more reasonable to call Cell Phone.
It is normal for such a big mobile phone to fall if it becomes unstable when held in your hand.
Today's stunt scene about a car accident required off-site support. The stuntman driving the car was recruited by Alan's "little secretary" Li Zhi in Xiangjiang.
Nicknamed Xiao Hei, he is currently the most senior expert in car stunts in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry.
Let a stuntman of this level cooperate in shooting a stunt shot of a small car rushing down the roadside, holding a handle.
"Hey, Your Excellency, when do you think we should start?"
Xiao Hei's voice is very similar to Allen's, both are extremely hoarse, but Xiao Hei has a bit of a big tongue, and when he speaks English, his accent is thicker.
But Allen was not as rude to him as he was to the islanders with accents. He patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said, "Are all the safety measures ready? Check the car again. Don't be anxious. Safety is the most important thing."
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, Your Excellency."
Xiao Hei quietly glanced at the ambulance on standby next to him, as well as the person in charge of Carmarthen Public Hospital and a large number of doctors. He felt that this formation was a bit staggering and too grand. Just park an ambulance. Your Excellency, Earl
This posture.
I just wanted to bring the entire hospital staff to the scene.
However, His Excellency the Earl's move is quite heart-warming. It is rare to see a British man who cares so much about the safety of his men nowadays.
Although he was recruited by Miss Li, Xiao Hei was a little unhappy when he first heard that he was going to work for the British. He was not from Xiangjiang, so he didn't need to look too hard at the British.
Now when I get in touch with him, I find that this British aristocratic gentleman still looks like that. He is indeed very aristocratic, looks grand, and is a good boss!
"Okay, everyone, get ready to start!"
Now that the stuntmen were ready, Allen picked up his cool little speaker and pretended to shout.
There is already a camera crew with experience in one movie, so there is no need for him to keep an eye on it all the time. Let them shoot. Anyway, you can't see how the shooting is on set, and Allen is too lazy to shoot like the last movie.
When you are so tired, just play it!
In the first filming session, we first shot the scene where the old man drives a car and is chased by the male lead on a bicycle.
The same silver-gray Ford sedan was pulled by an old-fashioned flatbed truck with the rear fender removed. The elderly actor was a special actor hired from the Screen Actors Guild and was not well-known.
This scene is very simple. He only needs to make movements with the mobile phone and move the steering wheel with his hands a little. The camera mounted on the truck only needs to capture a clip of him showing his face.
Allen held the telescope and stood far away. This was Hu Te's special instruction.
The young master makes movies and likes to have fun, so forget it.
Whenever dangerous scenes are involved, you must stay away and maintain a safe distance.
When the servants saw this kind of scene being filmed, they were very nervous and pulled Allen far away. Allen could only use a telescope to watch the crew filming.
It can be said that safety work has been achieved to the extreme.
"Master, are you thirsty? Do you need something to drink?"
"Don't drink, don't disturb me when I'm working!"
Allen waved his hand and looked at the set attentively with his binoculars.
The servant next to him looked at the studio a few hundred meters away, and then at the surrounding camp with a small pergola, like a small outdoor kitchen, and was speechless.
"Buzz!"
The silver-gray Ford car swerved, smashed two saplings on the roadside, and then disappeared into the jungle.
"good!"
After watching the shot, Allen put down the telescope, turned around and walked towards the car.
"Drive quickly, I want to go over and have a look."
"Master, let's wait a little longer. If the vehicle is damaged, it will be too dangerous for you to go there now."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and drive!"
The driver was a little unmoved, and after waiting for a long time, he stepped on the accelerator and drove more than 200 meters, pulling Allen to the shooting scene.
A large group of staff rushed into the woods. There is no river here, but the creek is on the other side of the road. When the time comes, they will waste another car and fake a car accident scene.
The scene was a bit messy. Several layers of thick mats were placed on the concave ground on the roadside. This was to ensure the safety of the stuntman. Coupled with his driving skills, the entire vehicle was not damaged.
By the time Allen arrived at the scene, Xiao Hei had already been dragged out of the car. Several doctors were holding instruments up and down to check Xiao Hei's body to see if he was injured.
Allen was far away and heard Xiao Hei yelling in non-standard English: "I, I, I'm really fine, the airbags haven't been deployed, it's very simple, don't draw blood."
He waved to the photographer.
"How about it?"
"Sir, don't worry. We are fully prepared. We can do this once! It's wonderful. This gentleman's driving skills are very good."
"Hahaha, that's enough, call it a day and let everyone clean up!"
Allen rubbed his hands excitedly. After shooting this scene, he would set up the scene in the afternoon and shoot a new scene in the evening.
This is Allen's first time shooting a night scene, and he personally designed the shooting method. Thinking about it, I'm really looking forward to it.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to have any appetite."
Allen stretched out his hand to help Monica push the hair behind her ears. When his fingertips passed across Monica's ears, he gently scratched her earlobe with his nails.
Just like that, Monica's whole neck turned red.
She couldn't stand Allen's teasing. In the past few days, Mr. Allen would occasionally ask her to have dinner with him, acting a little ambiguous.
A young, noble, wealthy man, whose appearance matched her aesthetics very well, cared about her tenderly, invited her to dinner, and occasionally made small gestures with his hands.
These little gestures are either disgusting tricks that take advantage of others, or they are very serious concerns.
How should I put it, it makes Monica feel like a little sister who is doted on by her brother, which is very sultry.
But the key is that Allen doesn't do anything excessive, and he doesn't even take advantage of words. He appears to be a very gentleman.
But this kind of behavior was so teasing that Monica couldn't help herself. She had been teased by Allen in the past few days, and she even felt like she hoped that Allen would bully her severely.
Even just once. This feeling of neither going up nor down ended abruptly every time when she was flustered. It was really uncomfortable.
Now it's like this again
She was just a little shy and didn't have much appetite, so Allen paid close attention to her and gently helped him fix her hair to avoid contamination of her hair on the food.
But this kind of action was more provocative than the little actions of the past few days, and Monica felt a little panicked again.
She knew about some of the unspoken rules in the crew when making a movie. Although she had never experienced it, Monica, who was a model in the past, was quite knowledgeable about such things.
Now she really wants to be seduced by the aristocratic director in front of her, but he can only flirt with her!
