Chapter 22 Shooting (2)

After filming the first scene, Xie Changhua started the second scene without stopping. The prop team had already taken time to put out various cheating cheat sheets when filming the first scene. There was no problem except for the laughs in the middle. By 4:30 pm, the crew had already started packing up their things and rushed to meet.

The car in the opera team was crowded with people, all of whom were hunching their faces and fighting with their eyelids. They were dozing off, and they could only hear the sound of the car moving and breathing.

"How is it? I can't stand it. I'll tell you to be so excited at night. Now it's not possible!" Seeing the atmosphere so quiet, Xie Changhua rubbed his face and joked at Wang Yu and others who were yawning.

"Hey, what's this? After filming, I will feel energetic after a few punches. I'll get used to it for a long time." Wang Yu immediately opened his eyes, smiled and said, and even put on a few positions.

"Haha, director, it's better to care about yourself than to care about us. The film will be cut for one night. It doesn't matter. We can rest after filming another night scene!" Luo Lie said with a smile, "We don't have any other requirements, only one. Then reshoot it, don't wake us up so early."

After he finished speaking, the crowded car immediately laughed.

"Yes, director, you'll be called early by then, so we won't get up to help you."

"That's right, but if you add more money, it's hard to say!"

A group of people started to cheer, and the car was filled with lively sounds.

Xie Changhua also laughed: "Don't worry, let you have a good sleep today. If you don't sleep well, how can you continue to squeeze you tomorrow!"

In the early 1980s, except for investors and big stars who had long become famous, everyone had no airs because they were all making a living or loving this career. If they really became serious, they all had real skills, but they all performed their own duties and worked in a solid manner, of course, besides bullying newcomers.

No matter where, newcomers are always the worst, and old birds are always united.

After joking, everyone seemed to be even more tired, but the atmosphere became much better, at least a little angry. When they arrived at the destination and got off the car, Xie Changhua found that the thatched hut was only halfway through, and there were still many people helping to build it. Johnnie To discussed with Cheng Xiaodong while watching Huang Xingxiu, Chen Huimin and the martial artist were fighting and running together, and while discussing, they immediately started to practice as soon as they saw Wang Yu and Luo Lie back.

"Old Du, should you hold on so hard? There is still a lot of time!" Xie Changhua joked.

"It's still early! It will take at least about a week for us to shoot, and it's been a week since we were all acquaintances. In addition, it will take three or four days to cut the movie, and it will take four or five days to rush to work in the late dubbing of the movie. Today is the tenth day. Think about it, if you want to add something and have some accidents, do you see there are more!" he asked back.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you all, who told you to have experience?"

He said for granted: "It's not just to save you money. By the way, look at the power reserves of your machines. If you don't have electricity, change them as soon as possible, and prepare flashlights. Night scenes are not as simple as during the day. If something happens, you will be anxious. After waiting for a long time, the team's spirit will dissipate. Don't make any mistakes."

"I understand, I'll go check it myself. I'll prepare coffee and late-night snacks tonight and treat them after the filming!"

"That's the best, so they will work harder tomorrow."

After a casual stomach, except for the actors and behind-the-scenes personnel who want to film, the rest of the people who can be lazy are taking a nap. The actors cannot sleep because their faces will swollen when they wake up, which will affect the camera. The photographers and the lights cannot rest. They need more time to set off the light.

After it got completely dark, Xie Changhua began to direct the first night scene. He filmed for more than an hour, but waited for three hours. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening after the filming was finished.

As soon as the end, Ajing walked in with her midnight snack: "Come on, the heads of each team came up to get the midnight snack and shared it. They opened their food and went home after eating. They had a good rest. Work started at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning, have a good night's sleep, and are not allowed to be late."

"I understand, thank you director!" After a few waves of scattered voices, everyone gathered together happily to enjoy themselves, sat in a row, chatted, bragged, and made an appointment to go where to play.

Xie Changhua and his friends also took some food, loaded the film they took today in the car, and rushed to rinse and cut it.

Several people spent five hours cutting out several rough cuts. The sky was already dark and their eyes were covered with blood. After drinking a few sips of coffee, Johnnie To rubbed his eyes and said irritably: "Hey, how do you choose this? It looks good. Choose that. You are the director. You should make your decision. Don't ask me any suggestions. I said I will keep it, but you are unwilling to make up your mind."

"If I could make an idea, I would have chosen it long ago. I would have to drag it to the present. It only takes 35 minutes to cut the scene and it took us more than 50 minutes to come out!" Xie Changhua felt a little embarrassed. If there were few good shots, it would be fine. You can make up for it, but once there were too many, it would be even more difficult. You don't know what to give up, but in order to control the rhythm, you must delete it.

"Oh, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, sit down and discuss it slowly, and wait until all the films are finished, let's see what we can see now. Let's first choose the most dissatisfied one among these movies, delete a little and make him inconsistent, but just catch the exciting ones. Add a little more to the film tomorrow, and hand it over to Uncle Tianlin immediately, let him go and see the trailer for Miss Fang, and set the schedule first. If it is adjusted, we will have more time to consider it." Liu Shiyu stuffed the coffee into the hands of the two, and persuaded both sides.

"Just as you said, two scenes in the warehouse must be added, which makes her think it is a comedy action movie. With these two elements, there must be a market. We did it not bad. This action of 1,000 yuan should also be added to add some chips, and add another piece of literary scene. I think this will be enough, and you don't need to add tomorrow's scene." Xie Changhua said.

"Do whatever you say. I'll give it to me Lao Dou to see what you want to do in the evening. You can cut it out first. I'll come to work later tomorrow. You can take on my job!" A Jing said again.

"Yes, cut one quickly. It's been so long. It's almost dawn. Everyone rest early. Let's have a while. Leave the rest to Ajing. Work will start at nine o'clock. If you two are in a bad state, the scene will be difficult tomorrow." Liu Shiyu also said.

"That's it!" The two of them thought about it and thought it was the best.
