"Terror Cruise" ushered in the last day of filming.
There are still two scenes and 9 shots left. If we finish shooting today, it will be over.
Tang An got up earlier than usual today, getting up and getting dressed at 6 o'clock.
Pedestrians were passing by in twos and threes on the street outside the window. Those who were rushing to work at this time were either sanitation workers or bus drivers.
The two breakfast stalls were placed in the same place as before.
After washing up, Tang An sat on the table and started preparing for today's shooting.
9 shots, neither too much nor too little. As long as everything goes well, it can still be completed on time.
Break down the shot script to see if there is anything that needs fine-tuning. Think about the lighting and photography techniques of each shot in advance, and then communicate with the photographer and lighting engineer.
Set, props, makeup...
You have to have an idea of every detail.
The actor's positioning, every action, and expression should also have a general impression.
He was busy until 7:30, and there was still half an hour before filming started. Tang An then packed up and went downstairs to rush to the set.
All the way down, the entire hotel was deserted. It was obvious that everyone had already rushed to the set.
When we arrived at the set, the atmosphere was a bit relaxed.
As soon as today's shooting is over, we can rest for a while, and everyone's tense nerves can finally relax a little.
However, all this is still based on the premise that the filming can be successfully completed today. Everyone stayed at their posts spontaneously and made final preparations.
Tang An took a seat in front of the monitor and shouted around, "Someone, come here, make me a bowl of porridge, add more pickles, and bring me two steamed buns!"
Not long after, Zhao Lei came over with a bowl of porridge and a bag in his hand. He came to Tang An with a flattering look on his face.
"Director, breakfast is here!"
"Old Zhao can just send a field attendant to take care of it. Why do you do this yourself?" Tang An took it over with a smile.
There are quite a lot of things. There are steamed buns, fried dough sticks, sugar pancakes, minced meat sesame cakes in the plastic bags...
"The crew had quite a sumptuous breakfast today!" Tang An put both cakes into a bowl, took a bite and drank the porridge.
"There happened to be a breakfast vendor at the entrance of the base just now, so I stopped by and bought some, but you, director, haven't eaten yet!" Zhao Lei rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"oh!"
Tang An was noncommittal.
"It's been more than a month, and I haven't found anywhere braised and stir-fried liver buns nearby. It seems that you, Zhao, are better at finding food than I am!"
Zhao Lei was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I have no other hobbies, I just love to eat. Everywhere I go, I look for delicious food nearby!"
Tang An was not disgusted with his flattering behavior, on the contrary, it was nice to have a bitch by his side.
"Okay, you go and do your work, today should be the last day, go and finish the finishing work!" Tang An waved his hand.
It took me 5 minutes to finish breakfast, and I felt that my stomach was a little bloated.
Tang An stood up and looked around, giving instructions from time to time.
After feeling a little digested, he clapped his hands and called everyone over.
"Everyone stop it!"
Tang An looked around, "Today is the last day of filming for our crew. It can be seen that everyone is very excited!"
"I'm excited too!"
Everyone had smiles on their faces, just like when they were in school every day before a holiday, no matter how much they were scolded by the teacher, how many homework assignments were not handed in, or how many points they scored on the exam.
At that time, it was definitely the happiest time of the week, even happier than when we had holidays on Saturdays and Sundays.
Tang An gradually put away his smile and straightened his face!
"but!"
"Please cheer me up today and show off the same form as in the past few days!"
"When the filming is finished, the work will be called off. If someone does something wrong that affects the filming, then don't blame me for falling out!"
Tang An didn't want them to slip up at the last moment, he had to keep them with a sense of urgency!
Everyone's expressions tightened, and then they also put away the smiles on their faces.
During this period, everything went smoothly for the crew, and Tang An basically never uttered any curse words. However, they did not forget that in the first few days of filming, everyone on the crew was sprayed all over.
Tang An asked everyone to disperse, and took the leaders of each group to inspect the studio, and discussed the details of the shooting in detail.
At 8:30, the crew started filming on time.
"Scene 44, one shot, once!"
"start!"
As Tang An started with a heavy sound, the crew immediately started running.
The studio arranged as the bottom of the cabin was dark, with only a few incandescent lamps at the top emitting a faint light.
Xu Jinglei ran in from the door in a panic. She had just seen another version of herself in the corridor and followed her companions onto the boat.
Everything was exactly the same as what she had experienced before.
She held on to her side and walked forward in vain, with one hand still on her head, as if she was experiencing some pain.
Tang An nodded in front of the monitor. There was nothing wrong with Xu Jinglei's performance, and her image fit the role very well. After more than a month of filming, her performance was impeccable.
"Okay, pass!"
...
The short scenes of the first scene ended at 12 o'clock. Seeing that there was still some time, Tang An thought about shooting another scene.
In the next scene, the heroine found a pile of notes on the ground with the same sentence written on them.
If they get on board, kill them all!
"Scene 45, one shot at a time!"
"start!"
In the camera, Xu Jinglei is lying on the ground writing that sentence on the paper, with an urgent expression and a hint of disbelief.
After she finished writing, she compared it with other notes and found that the handwriting was exactly the same, as if it had been copied.
The expression, movements, micro-movements of rummaging through the paper, and trembling hands when writing, are simply perfect.
Tang An was about to shout OK, but he found a trace of abnormality, so he immediately shouted stop!
"Ka, wait a minute!"
Tang An stared at every part of the monitor carefully, and then shouted, "Old Zhou"
"Director!" Photographer Zhou Jixun immediately ran over nervously. Seeing Tang An's unkind expression, his heart twitched.
"Check the camera. Why is the color cast in the picture taken? See if there is any problem with the white balance!" Tang An pointed at him and said loudly.
Zhou Jixun quickly checked the camera and proofread it again and again before saying, "Director, there's no problem!"
"Old Zhang!" Tang An shouted to Zhang Yiping again.
"Bring the color analyzer over and check the monitor brightness, contrast, gamma, color temperature..."
Zhang Yiping felt nervous and quickly took out the color analysis kit from the warehouse and performed color correction on the monitor.
It soon became clear that the gamma was somewhat off, causing differences in the brightness output on the monitor.
"Lao Zhang, how could you do it? You must check the monitor before every shooting. How could you forget this time!"
This is because the lighting brightness of this shot is a little brighter than that of the previous scene, and the color cast looks very obvious. Otherwise, Tang An would not be able to see through it so easily at a glance. His main focus is on Xu Jinglei's performance!
"I'm sorry, Director Tang, it was my negligence!" Zhang Yiping didn't make excuses and apologized again and again!
After working together for so long, he knows Tang An's temper very well, and he will bear it when he scolds you. No matter whether you are wrong or not, he should first admit his mistakes and then correct them!
If you dare to talk back, it will be a disaster!
"Okay, let's all eat and we'll shoot again in the afternoon!"
After such a delay, it was almost 12 o'clock, so I simply started to eat, take a rest and then continue shooting.
After being scolded by Tang An, the shooting in the afternoon went much more smoothly. Everyone focused more for fear of something going wrong.
At 4 p.m., the last scene ended.
Tang An called up all the videos taken today and watched them several times. After making sure there were no problems, he stood up and shouted at everyone with a loudspeaker.
