Half of Tang An's team went to shoot another scene nearby, leaving an assistant director and an executive director to continue filming with the remaining half.
"Ahem, everyone, cheer up. Let's take a 5-minute break and continue shooting."
The assistant director shouted to everyone with a loudspeaker, then came to the monitor, touched the chair, and slowly sat on it.
Every assistant director wants to sit in this position, even for a day.
The assistant director who has never sat in that chair is usually a handyman, a little higher than the stage manager.
Once you are qualified to sit down and lead a group of people to shoot independently, you are not far away from being a real director.
The executive director came over at this time and was speechless when he saw the assistant director's hand sliding back and forth on the armrest of the chair.
"Old Wang, you still regard this as a dragon's throne, right?"
Lao Wang did not refute his words, but smiled proudly and said, "For us, this is nothing but a dragon chair."
"Why don't you do it? You're such a thief."
Lao Wang smiled and thought for a moment that the action of grabbing the armrest and sliding back and forth was indeed a bit indecent. He immediately retracted his hand and got down to business.
"Lao Zhou, what do you think we should do next?"
"It's up to you to decide how you want to shoot. It's not like I'm sitting in that position."
"Director Tang has made it clear that he wants to play with him, are we just going to waste time here?"
"How about you tell Director Tang that the filming is done?" executive director Lao Zhou asked.
Lao Wang shook his head, "Then I should be the one to clean up next."
Lao Zhou glanced at the time and had an idea in his mind, "It's 11 o'clock now. We haven't left dinner for long. Let's shoot first. I'll wait until Director Tang comes over at noon and ask him if he can."
"That's right. Director Tang must have wanted to leave him alone, but he didn't want to delay the plan, so he asked me to take the photo. I'll take a look later at noon and maybe I'll pass him." Lao Wang's eyes lit up, thinking to himself.
Guessed Tang An's thoughts.
The two of them were muttering here, and the other crew members around them were somewhat unhappy.
The same scene lasted all morning, the photographer looked at the same person all morning, the lighting engineer used the same lights all morning, and the recorder used the same board all morning.
Doing the same thing over and over will make you feel irritated no matter what it is.
Let alone work, just talk about a sport that promotes human development. Even if you are given an extremely strong kidney, a 28 that is as hard as iron and is not afraid of wear and tear, the same frequency can be used continuously for three or four hours, unless it is a robot.
"It's so unlucky that I got implicated by this guy!"
"I stayed up all night with Director Huang yesterday, and today it was supposed to be a simple scene, but it turned out like this."
"That guy doesn't know why he offended Director Tang, so consider yourself unlucky."
"I guess we won't be able to take pictures for a while, so we have to wait."
Employees from various departments of the production crew were talking quietly, and even the extras playing soldiers next to the checkpoint inevitably complained.
Their part in the scene was to stand still. They had been standing all morning, and their feet were a little weak due to their physical condition.
Guo Xiaodong looked at them discussing there, his face was very ugly.
Although you can't hear what they said specifically, any fool can guess it.
Now he can only silently hope that Tang An will not leave him alone for too long, otherwise it will not be a shameful thing to make a fool of himself in front of these people.
Shooting started soon, and I shot NG four or five times in this hour.
This is because Lao Wang deliberately reduced the number of shots and rested for about ten minutes after each shot. Otherwise, such a shot could be shot once in a few minutes.
He had to save some money on film. It would be hard to explain how much he had wasted.
Finally, we waited until noon for lunch, but Tang An did not come back. Instead, he stayed at another shooting location to eat and rest.
"What should Lao Zhou do? If Director Tang doesn't come, we can't keep filming all afternoon, right?"
"It shouldn't be. I heard that Director Tang is quite good." Lao Zhou also looked puzzled.
"Wait and see if Director Tang will come before work starts in the afternoon." Lao Wang said helplessly.
As a result, Tang An was not waiting for an hour at noon, and there was no one to deliver the message. Lao Wang had to make a trip by himself.
When he came back, Lao Zhou immediately asked, "How was it? What did Director Tang explain?"
Lao Wang spread his hands and said, "I will do whatever Director Tang tells me to do."
"Then let's get to work. We'll all spend the afternoon together."
One afternoon was still spent in the constant NG sound.
Everyone also understood that we would not be able to make it through this afternoon.
It was close to 6 o'clock in the afternoon when Tang An returned to the studio here and is still filming.
As soon as he saw Tang An coming over, Lao Wang quickly let out the monitor and said, "Director Tang!"
"How about it? Is there a qualified shot?"
this......
Lao Wang and Lao Zhang looked at each other. Is this true or not?
Lao Wang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Director Tang, why don't you take a look for yourself, I think it's not quite ready yet."
"Since it's not up to standard, let's continue shooting tomorrow. We won't be able to shoot when the sky gets dark, so let's call it a day."
One scene tortured me for a whole day, and the incident immediately spread throughout the entire crew, and someone also told Han Sanping.
After listening to the report from his assistant director, Han Sanping frowned, but still didn't say anything.
Huang Jianxin took a sip of tea, leaned on the chair and said leisurely, "This Director Tang seems to have a very bad temper."
"He has a bad temper? Ask the actors who have worked with him and see how many of them say he has a bad temper?" Han Sanping shook his head.
But then he remembered what happened to the crew of "Cruise of Terror". The production director was removed before the movie was even filmed. In just a few days, the crew was put in order. He really didn't believe it when he said he had no temper.
It’s just that no one in this crew dares to mess around, so why do we need to establish our authority?
Han Sanping shook his head secretly, but he was not prepared to interfere as long as the filming could be completed on time.
The next day, Tang An continued to shoot the scene. Hundreds of people on the crew were watching to see if another day was wasted.
Guo Xiaodong was holding his breath in his heart and completed the performance seriously, waiting to do it all over again.
"Okay, pass!"
Um...what?
That's it?
Guo Xiaodong looked confused. He was ready to "fight hard" all day long.
Others also looked puzzled. They procrastinated here all day yesterday, why are they so straightforward today?
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Quickly tell me to pack up and rush to the next scene!"
Tang An originally thought of playing him for two days and then replacing him. Anyway, such a young actor can't even say a word.
But after thinking about it last night, all the actors in this play were not paid, and they were cast for zero pay. It would be bad for the crew to kick the actors out when there was no problem with their performance.
Isn’t this just killing the donkey without removing it?
And it’s a donkey that doesn’t eat grass.
Tang An is the director of the crew, and this is not just his crew, there is still a bottom line.
What's more, Guo Xiaodong just said something back and received a lesson.
As a director with integrity, Tang An still has a good heart!
