Thirty minutes later.
Record board:
""Beauty and Original Sin" scene 27, third act, first shot, action!"
…
Five minutes later, Xia Yu interrupted the filming again: "OK - the filming is over, thank you for your hard work!"
Sure enough, the shooting just ended in less than fifteen minutes.
"Wow" a heavy rain fell, covering this beautiful seaside town in Sicily.
Fortunately, the shooting is over for this day.
During these two shootings, Carlos Zivkovic did not come with him, but if he said he was not curious, that would be a lie——
Until the evening, after dinner, Carlos Zivkovic was in a daze on the set, thinking about it——
Xia Yu put the results of today's shooting in front of him, "Do you want to take a look? I mean, the content of today's shooting?"
"?" Carlos Zivkovic was stunned. He must have resisted, very much.
But he is not the same person he was a few months ago, or in other words, he is not as stubborn and selfish.
"I think your shooting is just meaningless..."
Although he had a tough talk, he still took the disk, but he looked confused and still couldn't let go.
"Maybe? Who knows?" Xia Yu shrugged and smiled, instead of staring at him, he turned and walked out of the conference room.
But before closing the door, he said sincerely: "There is no other meaning. The filming of these two scenes just wants to tell you - it is not the so-called pure, it is the best, and some are stubborn, which is not necessary. I mean...
The shooting of the film requires you to understand what I mean?"
In fact, there is something that Xia Yu wants to say, but can't say it out loud, for fear of hurting this proud director again - your camera images, actors' performances, and actors' angles are very good, but your film's lighting, lighting...
…not the best?
For Carlos Zivkovic, this was nothing less than a major earthquake.
This is basically contrary to his past experience and shooting mode, which he used to despise.
He believes that everything needs to be close to reality, not just the story, but also the shooting scenes!
But the reality is as Xia Yu said, the real thing is not necessarily the best - there are more and better ways, which are not only more convenient, but also can create the best effect.
Especially when he saw the classroom lights simulating daylight, the feeling was subversive.
He was suddenly at a loss and finally locked himself in the conference room and watched it over and over again.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning that I called Yu Junhao.
At Yu Junhao's side, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the show had just started.
Carlos Zivkovic didn't say what happened just now, but just asked, "Yu, are you finished reading around?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Junhao said: "The reading only took seven days, which was fourteen days faster than you."
For more than a month, after entering into filming mode, Carlos Zivkovic and Yu Junhao have no contact again.
Actors and directors are all like this, at least they are like this, they devote themselves wholeheartedly and are not affected by the outside world.
Carlos was startled when he heard this, and after a while he asked blankly, "How far are you in the filming?"
Yu Junhao hesitated for a moment, "Now? The filming process is almost halfway..."
It was shot on November 8th and is now on December 8th. It is expected to be completed in late December - it will be successfully submitted for review in late January and should be able to make it in time for next year's Berlin Film Festival.
The phone call was hung up, and Carlos Zivkovic sat alone in the conference room until dawn.
Then I looked at the dawn, Xia Yu, wearing a jacket, going out for morning exercises - how many days has it been since I saw this?
It wasn't until she saw Xia Yu coming back from her morning run in the heavy rain. From the moment she stepped into the hotel door to the door, she stopped Xia Yu:
"Xia——I think I need to discuss something with you about the filming of the film..."
Xia Yu picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat, then walked into the conference room, "What's going on?"
"If... I mean if I shoot according to your plan, can I make it in time for Berlin next year?"
After all, Carlos Zivkovic couldn't let go of his dignity, so he could only use Berlin as an example.
Although he also felt that this was something that was simply impossible to accomplish.
There are only forty-nine days left before the deadline for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival, January 23rd.
"?" Xia Yu didn't understand at first, "Didn't you say that you won't participate in this year's Berlin Film Festival?"
After a while, looking at Carlos' red eyes and slightly red ears, he roughly understood.
Smile slightly.
[Is Carlos looking for a way out for himself?]
"Aren't you afraid that... "Beauty and Original Sin" will turn into a Xia Yu-style movie if I follow the way I shoot it?"
Xia Yu curled her lips and asked:
"After all, if you follow my shooting method and complete the shooting and editing within forty-nine days - you will have to abandon a lot of the so-called pure sense of real environment shots that you insist on."
Carlos puffed his mouth, breathed out angrily, and said:
"As you said, I may not be right - should I change my style? Just an hour ago, I had a phone call with Yu, and he said something right."
"I am serious and solemn. I want to be the best in every film festival, every shot, and even every frame - but except for the bankrupt sisters, there may be no other company willing to spend so much money to invest in me."
"If I still want to survive in this industry and continue to fulfill my unfinished dream - I think maybe I have to lower my requirements for myself and the industry. I think I am not wrong and the industry is not wrong either.
What's wrong is that we are not in the right era? The industry will not chase me, so I can only catch up with the industry, right?"
"It's enough to have an "Aesthetics of Death" made exactly according to my wishes."
"Is "Beauty and Original Sin" regarded as my exploration into a new realm of light and shadow?"
Xia Yu sighed.
It really wasn't Carlos Zivkovic's fault, it was hers.
But she invested in "The Aesthetics of Death" just to tie up "Beauty and Original Sin".
She needs this movie to further open the door to Berlin and Oscars for her.
So Xia Yu said: "From now on...as long as your script is good enough, the bankrupt sisters will still give you enough support. Even if you don't make any money in the end, I hope it can help you achieve the highest honor of a global director in the future."
"'Beauty and Original Sin', I'm sorry, but in addition to speeding up the script - the storyboards are still in accordance with the final version we read around. It is still a Carlos-style movie, what do you think?"
The stone weighing on Carlos' heart finally fell heavily to the ground.
He smiled calmly, but a little shyly, "Xia... Let's add those two scenes that can be filmed!"
