After the press conference, Tang An rushed to Dalian with the crew.
Arrive at Shicao Fishing Village at 6 p.m.
This village was mostly empty for a long time, so the crew rented it directly, decorated it a little, and used it as a temporary residence.
Seeing the tired-looking actors and their assistants and managers carrying large and small bags into their rooms, Tang An clapped his hands and greeted them.
"Everyone, get settled first and meet at the roadside later. Let's try walking twice first. We'll have plenty of time to rest during the day tomorrow!"
"Okay, Director Tang
Although they are a little tired after traveling nearly a thousand kilometers, they are all professional actors and no one has any complaints.
"Director Tang, do you want to put on makeup?" Assistant Director Zhang Yiping asked.
"No, step aside!"
Tang An waved his hand and said, "Have the people from the aerial photography company arrived?"
"Already arrived!" Zhao Lei replied.
"Then everyone, let's take action. After so long, everyone should be familiar with each other, so I will briefly introduce them!"
Tang An introduced the new photography team leader Zhang Li, art director Ye Jintian, lighting team leader Zhang Minghan and others to the crew. The original team leaders and producers also introduced them one by one.
This is considered acquaintance, and you will gradually become familiar with it in future work.
"The generator car is ready. Lao Zhang, you and Lao Zhou are ready with the lighting team. We will try the effect later!"
Night outdoor scenes also require lighting, so Tang An asked the photographer and lighting engineer to communicate first.
"Let's go!"
Tang An waved his hand and led everyone to the road far away from the iron bridge.
There were already people from the aerial photography company waiting on the roadside. It was Mr. Liu who saw Tang An coming and immediately came over to greet him.
After shaking hands, Tang An asked directly, "Mr. Liu, are you ready?"
"It's ready. Don't worry, Director Tang, there will be absolutely no problem!"
"Well, let's try shooting two shots!"
Tang An nodded and ordered to deputy director Zhang Yiping, "Turn on the searchlights on both sides!"
Zhang Yiping immediately took a walkie-talkie and asked someone to turn on the searchlights.
In an instant, lights came on at the top of both buildings, turning the blackness into daylight.
"It doesn't need to be too bright. Just focus the light to illuminate the upper half of the villa."
After repeated debugging, the lighting met the requirements. The scope was limited to the tops of the two buildings, the main body and the iron bridge flickered, and the overall tone was still gray.
"Mr. Liu, let's start!"
The drone has an image transmission system, and equipped with a set of image transmission equipment, the images, videos and other images collected in the previous stage can be transferred through the equipment and finally fed back to the monitor.
Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to connect with a cable like a camera.
The people from the aerial photography company made preparations and took off 20 minutes later.
Tang An sat quietly in front of the monitor, watching the footage from the camera on the drone!
It was shaky when taking off, and it didn't stabilize until it reached a height of more than three meters.
Slowly retreat from the other end of the road, rising slowly as you retreat.
From left to right, fly to the middle of the two buildings and slowly pull up.
"It's too high. Lower the height and adjust the angle. This is a shot looking up!"
"Go to the other side of the sea, farther away, and take photos of the two buildings and the sea!"
"Next, a shot from high in the sky, overlooking the scene!"
A little over an hour, four sets of shots.
"Mr. Liu, is there enough battery life for one more visit?" Tang An asked the other party without looking at the previous scene.
The other party checked their watches, asked their employees about their fuel usage, and replied, "That's enough. The battery life can reach 3 hours, which is enough to return home. There is no problem with the camera battery!"
"Okay, let's continue!"
After Tang An finished speaking, he called Ye Jintian and Zhang Li over without looking at the monitor.
"Lao Ye, Lao Zhang, come and take a look at this shot."
Handing the monitor to the art director and photographer, Tang An got down from the chair and stretched his body.
Not far away, several actors were sitting on chairs eating and chatting. There was a small table in front of them with a lot of snacks placed on it.
"What are we talking about?"
Tang An walked over with a smile and grabbed a bag of potato chips from Wang Xiaoming's hand.
"Xiao Ming, if you still eat these junk foods, if you eat one more pack, you will sweat two more pounds in the gym!"
Tang An grabbed two slices and stuffed them into his mouth. The taste was somewhat familiar. After one bite, he felt a strong milky aroma. After eating, he could still taste the sweetness of honey on his tongue, unlike Kobik or Lay's.
One look at the packaging, yo ho!
"Imported products, Haitai potato chips are made with honey and butter!"
"Is there anything else? Bring a box to my room so I can have something to eat!" Tang An said with a smile as he ate.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Tang An with an annoyed look on his face, and did not dare to snatch it back. When he heard that he had picked up a box as soon as he opened his mouth, he quickly shouted.
"Director Tang, I only have seven or eight bags in total. Where can I find a box for you?"
Zhang Hanyu on the side laughed and said, "Director Tang, please don't embarrass him. We won't give you even a packet of Xiao Ming. We will keep you tight!"
"It's easy for you to say, I bought this when I went to South Korea with Director Feng to promote "The Night Banquet"!"
"You don't know, every convenience store in South Korea only supplies 6 packs of these potato chips every Wednesday, and they are bought before they are put on the shelves. I paid 6 times the price to buy 8 packs from scalpers.
!”
"That's not easy. Just wait and send us 3 packs later. It won't be good if you eat too much of these junk foods!"
Ignoring Wang Xiaoming's sad eyes, Tang An smiled and gave a little to each person, finishing the bag of potato chips in a few seconds.
"Xiao Ming, for being so stingy, Director Tang must have robbed you of this!" Everyone laughed.
"What kind of fries are these?"
Tang An grabbed a handful of very short French fries from Li Binbin and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Yes, Thailand's Golden Lion black pepper is an imported food!"
Celebrities are different. Even the snacks they eat are imported.
A cursory glance at the table showed that most of them were imported goods, some of which Tang An had never seen before.
Zhang Hanyu held a box on the table and handed it over with a smile, "Director Tang, these are domestically produced melon seeds, authentic five-spice melon seeds bought from the Ludong roasted nuts shop!"
"Support domestic production!" Tang An nodded.
When Wang Xiaoming heard this, he quickly said, "Then you don't want my potato chips?"
“Let’s destroy foreign goods together!”
"Okay, try to eat as little of these things as possible, drink more water, and pay attention to your throat. We still have half an hour to prepare!"
Tang An casually took a bottle of drink from the table and saw that it was NFC orange juice from Thailand.
"The shelf life of concentrated juice is just over a month. Don't let it expire and be wasted. Share it with everyone!"
Talking and laughing, the distance between Tang An and the actor was instantly brought closer!
Tang An drank one bottle, took two bottles, and returned to the monitor.
"Lao Ye, Lao Zhang, drink some water."
"Thank you, Director Tang!"
The two quickly handed over the monitor to Tang An.
Tang An sat back in front of the monitor and asked, "How are you doing? Is there any problem?"
