Chapter 119

At the end of October in Qingtiao City, the sea breeze mixed with the cold air blew in, and the temperature generally dropped to about 10 degrees.

On the rooftop platform of a six-story building that was about to be demolished, a bunch of people gathered and were engaged in some kind of activity.

"Has Wia's safety been checked?" Dong Xi, wearing a long-sleeved jacket, couldn't help but frown.

The outdoor temperature is not too low, but the wind on the roof is so strong that it makes people unable to open their eyes.

"No problem." The action instructor from Hong Kong replied in half-baked Mandarin.

"We will start filming when the wind calms down." Dong Xi glanced at him. He was young but had been in the industry for many years and was a member of the Yuan family class.

"OK." The other party gestured and directed the people under him to continue checking the wire bolts.

Dong Xi came to the two actors and encouraged: "How about it, is there no problem?"

"Brother, I'm fine." Wang Baoqiang said carelessly, feeling a little excited.

Dong Xi glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he focused his attention on Zeng Li. The girl's face was pale at the moment, and he didn't know whether it was from the cold or from nervousness.

"It's okay, director." But seeing Dong Xi's concerned eyes, Zeng Li still smiled.

"Yes." Dong Xi patted her shoulder, and then shouted: "Make-up artist, please touch up your makeup."

"Axi, the photographer is also ready!" At this time, a fat man walked over in a swaggering way.

"Oh." Dong Xi nodded and followed to the photographer's location.

The guy who called Dong Xi "A Xi" was Ah Wei whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The two have parted ways since they collaborated on "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind".

Now he changes jobs with Han Bin and joins the company as the leader of the photography team.

Dong Xi has collaborated with many photographers after "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind". For example, there was more than one photographer in "Young Man Bao Qingtian", but the cooperation with Dong Xi felt awkward.

In "Burning", Dong Xi even had to do the filming himself most of the time.

Therefore, he missed Ah Wei's feeling of being able to use his fingers like an arm, so he planned to poach him through Han Bin.

Ah Wei disagreed at first. He had already started a family and was reluctant to abandon his wife and go north to work, but he couldn't resist Dong Xi's generous offer.

"Even if we go to the capital, Jesus can't stay, I'm telling you!" So Ah Wei moved his family north and chose to settle in the capital.

There are three photographers in this drama. Ah Wei is responsible for the main camera shooting, and the remaining two photographers are responsible for the sub-shots.

It is worth mentioning that "Milk Tea Team" is Dong Xi's first film shot with multiple cameras and angles.

The first scene was filmed when the five-person team went out to arrest the fraudster, and Zeng Li and Wang Baoqiang broke in through a window upstairs.

Naturally, the camera also needs to follow the two people. Compared with the actors who only need to hang wires, shooting with a heavy camera is more troublesome.

So in order to film this play, one of the two young photographers tied a camera and followed the actors as they jumped down, while the other squatted in front of the window leaning on the equipment and filmed the scene of the two breaking the window and entering.

Ten minutes later, Dong Xi stood on the steps of the rooftop and stretched out his hand to feel the strength of the wind.

Then he turned around and nodded towards the attendant, who immediately raised a loudspeaker and shouted:

"OK, all departments pay attention~"

"The first scene of "Milk Tea Team", the first shot, click~"

"a!"

With the sound of the camera assistant's clapping, Dong Xi gave the order, and the filming of "Milk Tea Squad" officially started.

Zeng Li, who was hanging on the rope outside the building with both hands, turned her head to look at Wang Baoqiang, who was also hanging next to her, when she heard Dong Xi's voice.

"Hehe~" Seeing Zeng Li's gaze, Wang Baoqiang smiled at her with his big white teeth.

"Huh~" Zeng Li, who felt the other party's concern, took a deep breath and looked at the assistant director in charge of directing.

Then according to the other party's instructions, he pushed his feet on the wall and quickly fell down. Wang Baoqiang beside him also fell in the same posture.

The completely suspended photographer next to her moved almost at the same time. The height of the six-story building was not too high, but Zeng Li still felt a little dizzy. She endured the discomfort and looked at the camera.

"OK." The assistant director gave the order, and Zeng Li let go of her slightly red and swollen hands and let Wia slowly pull her downstairs.

"How is it?" After removing their equipment, several people gathered in front of the monitor and waited for Dong Xi's evaluation.

"Tsk~" Dong Xi looked at the picture on the monitor, shook his head and said softly.

"Xiao Li, your expression is too nervous. I hope you look indignant and imagine that you are the messenger of justice!"

"I understand, director." Zeng Li nodded and took the initiative to run back and put on her equipment.

"Brother, what about me?" Wang Baoqiang also came up and asked how he was doing.

"You have such a big mouth, aren't you afraid of blowing the wind?" Dong Xi was not polite to Wang Baoqiang at all.

"Hehe~" Wang Baoqiang touched his head and smiled silly, then turned around and ran back to put on his equipment.

"The photographer needs to control the lens, don't let it shake too much!"

"The first scene of "Milk Tea Team", the first scene 002, click~"

The filming continued, and with this first experience, Zeng Li performed very well this time.

"Passed." Dong Xi clapped his hands and signaled to prepare for the next shot.

The next scene is when Zeng Li breaks through the window while dangling from the outside of the building, and the magic weapon descends from the sky.

Wang Baoqiang on the side hit the steel plate, although he was also falling from the top.

But what was in front of Zeng Li was a window, while what was in front of Wang Baoqiang was a steel plate blocking the window.

It can also be seen from this perspective that Wang Baoqiang's position in this drama is to be funny.

The camera has been fixed outside the window, riding on a glass-cleaning crane.

Dong Xi and his party also moved indoors, and Ah Wei controlled the front camera to focus on the glass, waiting for Zeng Li to appear.

Filmed by two cameras, Zeng Li followed the action instructions and kicked her way in through the window.

Glass shards flew and Zeng Li fell to the ground with a clang, making her stand a little unsteady.

The whole section collapsed.

Of course the glass is not real, it is a fake prop made of sugar. The vision may be poor, but it is better than safety.

After the first shooting failed, the staff immediately cleaned the scene and replaced it with new "glass".

However, the second time still didn't go well, and then it seemed to enter a cycle, always failing to meet Dong Xi's requirements.

The successive failures made the atmosphere at the scene a bit solemn. You must know that this is only the first scene.

Although it is the most difficult scene in the entire film, it does not play a major role in the plot.

It only lasts for tens of seconds at most, and now it has been taken continuously for several hours.

"Take a rest." Seeing that Zeng Li was a little tired, Dong Xi could only shout.

Then he called a few assistant directors and prepared to discuss a solution. It was obviously not feasible to waste so much time.

"Why don't we use a substitute?" an assistant director suggested.

"No, keep showing your face in this scene!" Dong Xi shook his head, he would have used a substitute if he could.

"What about shooting? First shoot the broken window, and then shoot the landing scene!"

"Well, this is the only way!" Dong Xi's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.

"Director, I can do it!" Just as Dong Xi was about to give the order, Zeng Li's firm voice sounded behind him.

"Xiao Li..." Dong Xi turned his head to face Zeng Li's stubborn glasses, feeling like he got to know this girl again.

Zeng Li is a very quiet girl in private, with few hobbies. This is completely different from her best friend Fan Bingbing.

"Okay, try again!" Unable to bear to refuse the other party, Dong Xi decided to try again.

The glass shattered, and with a "bang~" Zeng Li broke through the window and knelt firmly on the ground, then slowly raised her chest and scanned the entire room.

The flying glass fragments look like colorful gems under the refraction of the sun.

At this moment, Zeng Li descended like a Valkyrie.

"Ka~ perfect!" Dong Xi jumped up and loudly encouraged his morale.
