It was already past 1 pm when Ye Wei rushed back to the tlb set in Malvin Town. From last night to now, he has gone to Toronto, New York and then back to Philadelphia. He sent out two letters, feeling sad and energetic.

Lily did not reply to the text message, but he knew she would read it, so he planned to send another one tonight in Los Angeles time, two ones a day, and would not disturb her and contact her every day.

He told Anastasi that there are two types of kinetic energy for creation, light and dark, both in the subconscious that he neither knows nor controls. Like two buttons, when one of them is triggered, he will have inspiration for creation.

Now he felt like he pressed the third button, a brand new feeling!

It seems that the light that has been away for a long time has returned, and it seems that it has mastered the darkness calmly and vigorously.

Creative inspiration is bursting, and creative desire is also bursting. I have never been so impatient to make a movie, as if I have not set foot on the set for many years.

The changes in the past two days have brought a lot of new ideas. During the journey, Ye Wei made some lines on the script and storyboard script, modifications, additions and deletions on the details and shots, and even important special effects shots of the ending scene. When he finished drawing the new shots, he couldn't help but laugh. It was so beautiful.

The new arrangements were made for the camera, and it was not to continue filming the kissing scene between Susie and Lei in the school corridor that day, because the actors had to put on makeup first. Instead of spending a long time putting on him and everyone was waiting, it was better to shoot another scene first. Everyone was ready and he started filming as soon as he came back.

"Hey guys!"

The afternoon sun was warm, and when Ye Wei came to the set on the beautiful and quiet town community street and greeted the staff. Everyone knew Duoduo was fine, like Sean Maurill who continued to watch him, Associate Director Jennifer Anderson and other acquaintances would also ask, "Is that okay?" He smiled and nodded: "She had a lot of fun."

"Are you ready?" He took the shooting schedule handed over by Anderson, looked at it and knew what was about to be taken, and the footage of Susie and Linsie walking on the way to school.

The shooting day was missing one day, and the schedule became even more tense, but he was confident that he could finish the shooting and look around. Everyone was doing their best. It was impossible to be unsuccessful.

"Director, someone is back." Anderson's tone was very happy.

Ye Wei was stunned, his heart pounded, and he saw a woman in wool coat and work pants walking towards him strode. He couldn't help but shout: "Jia!" He ran up quickly, with joy on his face, and opened his hands excitedly: "Master Jiya, welcome back! Miss you so much!"

"No need to say more." Jiya hugged him, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "You are back too."

"Um..." Ye Wei laughed, thinking, "I haven't come back, but it's past. This is a new me."

"It's so complicated, I'll think you're back." Jiya couldn't help laughing, and the joy in her heart was slapped. "I feel that you need me, so your special assistant, your mentor, and your enemy, Master Jiya Coppola, is back!"

"Hahaha!" Ye Wei pushed her and walked towards the camera over there with a smile. Elizabeth Olsen, one big and one small, and Saoirse Ronan were all looking at her with a smile. They had already had a rehearsal and everything was ready.

Dakota Johnson, who played Ruth, is there, and there will be a show today; Margot, Mody, and Kelsey are there, regardless of whether there will be a show today. Ye Wei asked them to follow the crew to watch more and learn more, and the days without a show will be used as a visit. The three of them didn't know that the tuition was paid by him privately, and the more they learned, the faster they made progress.

At this time, they stood quietly in the idle area and watched. Ye Wei smiled at them as he greeted them. He walked to find out the good situation with Maoriel, and said to the deputy director: "Start."

"Everyone, no one is injured!" Anderson clapped his palm and shouted. The set quickly calmed down. Everyone took their place, and the lighting team shouted OK.

"The recording begins."

“Photography begins.”

"accelerate."

"mark."

Listening to these sounds, Ye Wei felt the blood in his body boiling. Looking at the two actors in front of him, the recorder hit the recorder in front of the camera. The "Ka" sounded like a boiling sound. Amid the crowd, he shouted: "fire!!!"

fire...?The members who worked together for the first time were stunned, and Liz and Saoirsa were also stunned. What?

Seeing Ye Wei swing his arm and signaling "It's started, act!" Liz reacted first, remembering that he had watched it in "Viy", which was his action, and finally heard it with his own ears! It was the first time he heard it since the Big Bang.

Jiya, who was standing next to him, had already raised her hands and laughed silently. The flames were back. Have you seen it? It's here!

Is it dazzling? This is the brilliance of a genius director, you will get used to it!

Burn with him!

“uh, cut!”

When Liz and Saoirsa started acting, they were in the air and the camera was completed, Ye Wei was not satisfied with the sound of stopping. He did not go to direct the show, but walked to the side where no one was: "Liz, come here." He wanted to say a few words to her alone.

Saoirsa has no problem with this. She has finished filming her solo scenes in the past week. She performed very well, she is so awesome and has a good appearance. She will definitely succeed in the future.

The set stopped again, and everyone avoided the waiting in sight. The girls could not hide their curiosity and looked at them. Jiya looked directly.

"What's wrong? I swear I'm not fat." Liz followed and muttered.

Ye Wei looked at her backwards, wearing the look of Susie on the day she was killed, a royal blue hat-robed jacket in the 1970s style, yellow bell-bottomed pants and a variegated wool hand-knit hat with pom pom. Her long golden hair was moderately dyed, not deep or shallow, very warm and pleasant, her figure was youthful and slim, and she really was not fat.

He said in a warm voice: "Liz, I have to tell you that I have changed a lot these two days. To understand it simply is that I am back, and to understand it difficult is that I have evolved. I am different! You won't hate this me, you will see it."

"So?" Liz was a little confused.

"You can trust me and your director." Ye Wei said with a shrugged smile.

Creating a suitable atmosphere for the set is the director's main responsibility, which is very important, not only affecting morale and efficiency, but also affecting the performance of the actors. The more the atmosphere makes the actors feel safe and willing to take risks, the more they can realize their potential.

On the contrary, an actor who is insecure and does not trust the director will perform in a safe way, which will make the performance mediocre and boring.

What should the director do if the actors have wings and let them fly to the fullest and fall from the sky? It's okay, a director will catch you.

Looking back now, Liz has not fully released her talents these days. Her imagination is very good, but he has not seen much. The key problem, he thinks, is because of her disgust towards him, that he has not activated her.

This question ends here. Ye Wei smiled and said, "It's better to say it too late than not. Liz Olson, welcome to my set, a place where dreams happen!"

"Wow." Liz's eyes were curious. He seemed to be really different. His evil eyes seemed to be a little warmer. He didn't even call her Yingyin's "lichee". Her nickname had been spread throughout the set, and even the media reported it.

Ye Wei looked directly at her gray-blue eyes and said, "Once you start performing, don't think so much, don't act with your brain, and act with your heart. I'm staring at right and wrong, good and bad, you don't need to think about it at all, just act. I will help you perform the coherent and credible "Suchy", as long as you believe me."

"Yeah, I will..." Liz nodded, what should I say? This is the first time Ye Wei motivated her like this since the filming started.

She can't make a definite comment on his set, but no matter how it changes, there will definitely be the advantage of "communication".

Viy is really not the legendary little tyrant. He will let you try to perform on your own before making some specific director suggestions to let you deepen and develop what he wants. Sometimes, when there is too much ng, he will directly tell you what expressions you want.

Although she was in a screen movie for the first time, she had been on Broadway and was not unfamiliar with film and television sets, so she knew that Ye Wei was extremely confident.

Maybe it's because he has an Oscar nomination for Best Director, and there's nothing to question about the name of genius. At the age of 18, he doesn't have the kind of dog-protecting food. "I'm very smart, I'm the God here, I'm talking about the Bible!" He listened to the words, even if he was a little actor, he cherished the personality of that little actor.

This is actually a kind of demeanor that can only be achieved with confidence and detachment.

He doesn't like getting angry either, so he has never scolded anyone, reason, logic, knowledge, and authority. He always has a way to convince you.

When talking about this in the morning, Jiya said that Viy actually had this stage. It is said that when filming "The Wedding Day is Coming", he was more serious than dog food protection. He could not tolerate any other person's feeling that he was not familiar with it, and he caught the director's authority tightly. Whoever fights him or her can be kicked out of the crew at any time.

Now it's different, and today he suddenly said, "I was not good enough before, but I'm here for the better." Liz was really surprised.

She knows the essence of film performance. Many famous artists have also said that all crew members serve the director's imagination. Although the movie is created by a team, all results must be entered through a funnel. What can be entered and what cannot be entered is determined by the funnel. The funnel is the director.

The reason why she planned to act in a movie in advance was because she wanted to realize Viy's imagination.

Perhaps because of this emotional reason, she was easily affected by his off-site events. She regained her favor in early May, but there were too many scandals. The worst thing was that she discovered that he and Margot Robbie were on the street to date.

Trust or not on the set? He is a genius director. Of course Liz trusts him, but he said so, but he really doesn't feel at his best.

"Play it with your heart." Liz looked at him, and the more she looked, the more she felt different.

"Yes, you have the intention, right?" Ye Wei said. Liz didn't know what crazy suddenly: "Yes, but not as big as Scarlett Johnson." Ye Wei looked as if nothing happened: "Just have it, it's okay, it's okay to be as little as lychees, hahaha!" He walked back with a laugh and shouted to everyone: "Everyone is ready!"

Liz also walked back staring at his back, you were wrong, I hate this you, I am still a bastard.

The set soon sounded "fire" again. No one knew what Ye Wei and Liz said, but they could see the difference between the two fronts and backs: the first one, Liz seemed to be performing Susie, and the second one, Liz was Susie. The difference in feelings led to subtle differences, and subtle differences led to overall differences.

"good-take!" Ye Wei shouted happily, "That's it!"

Gia's smile became even happier. Seeing Olson, under the protection of genius, leaving the nest and flying into the sky, oh poor Emma!

Whether it is Maoriel, Anderson, Dakota, Modi and others, they are quite surprised. As the shots are shot more and more, the atmosphere is a little different. Their directors are more active and their infectiousness exists in every fire, which improves the efficiency of the set a lot.

At 8:30 p.m. in Philadelphia in June, the crew worked for 7 hours and had dinner and rested at 8:00. Because today's sun scene shots have been shot, magic time has been wasted a lot. The crew is preparing to wait until dark to continue shooting night scenes, including the encounter with Ruth after Susie was killed.

At this time, the crew had moved to the empty parking lot of Oguchi High School and was having dinner at the base camp. Ye Wei, Jiya and the actors took the lunch box and sat down to the quiet special chair to form a circle, eating and talking.

"Girls, it's not the time to shoot those shots that take a lot of time," said Ye Wei.

"The shooting gap is exactly when talking about the shots that require a lot of time to shoot," Gia continued.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed even more vigorously because the rookies were stunned!

"it-s-not-the-time-it-takes-to-take-the-takes-that-takes-the-time,it-s-the-time-it-takes-to-talk-between-the-takes-that-takes-the-time." This sentence is called "Douglas Trump's motto", created by director and legendary pioneer of visual effects, Trump's verbs for "spend time" and "making movies" are both "take", which means that "a shot" is also take, so there is this clever tongue twister.

But I really don't know if it's not the old fox on the set. Even Liz and Dakota were laughing, and Modi and the others were even more so. After listening to Jiya's explanation, they understood.

"To be honest." Ye Wei said to Liz opposite Dakota while having dinner: "Let's talk about the scene later."

In the early stage, he had already helped the two create "me", especially Liz. Her notes on Susie's creation and understanding were as thick as a script. They were all prepared enough, and at this stage it was to use it in the performance.

In the original play, before Susie left the world, she met Ruth in the school parking lot. Ruth stood beside a rusty car. She saw Susie floating over in a white robe. Then Susie "wanted to feel the warmth of the world again before leaving the world", and reached out to touch Ruth's face.

In the script and filming, Susie still walked like a living person wearing clothes before her murder, because she was wearing a white robe and floating on the screen. Both of them saw each other, and Susie reached out to touch Ruth's cheek and gradually disappeared.

The shooting is not in the order. Tonight, I will film this scene, but tomorrow I will film a few school scenes before Susie's accident. Ye Wei first gave the two people a look at their current locations, where they just came out and where they were going.

"There are three key scenes in this scene," he said again.

The girls were listening carefully.

Ye Wei described the design shot: "One is the middle shot sideways, Ruth is on the left side, Susie is on the right side, and she slowly raises her hand to touch Ruth's face. The shot starts from the beginning of her hand to touch Ruth's cheek. Then a close-up of Susie's face. Three or four seconds later, she begins to become blurry and vaguely.

Liz, this shot is your performance time. When you start to blur, then Ruth's face close-up, there will be three or four seconds until Susie's hand completely disappears, Dakota, this is your performance time. Then follow a rising shot, so that the audience will be like following Susie to heaven. Do you understand?"

"Very clear." Liz nodded and could imagine the set of shots.

"I understand." Dakota nodded as well.

"This is a colorful spot, which will be put in the trailer." Ye Wei was very serious and raised his chopsticks to point at one side. "I want the audience sitting in front of the big screen in the future, whether adults or teenagers, because of these three shots, their tears flowed like elephants spraying water."

Jiya was also obsessed with listening and learning his thoughts. This made a strong contrast. The same flower girl, one is still alive and the other is dead. The most sad thing is obviously Susie's attachment to the world.

Ye Wei was saying: "Let's give them some excellence. In those few seconds, I want you to transform from one posture to another, drive the audience from one emotion to another, express your heart with your face, and we want to take the best close-up shots."
