Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth great pressure
In the blink of an eye, the crew of "Operation Red Sea" has been in Morocco for more than a month, and filming here is undoubtedly very hard.
Although Casablanca is one of the few big cities in Africa and is not considered backward, the conditions are still not as good as those in China.
Although water and vegetables are not very scarce, it is not a problem to have enough money to allow the crew to grow their own vegetables locally.
It's just that Morocco is a foreign country, so do as the locals do, and it's still a foreign country. Naturally, the crew hasn't eaten pork for a long time.
The climate is also a big problem. Although we avoid midsummer, most people will not be able to adapt to a place with a different climate suddenly.
But after more than a month, I slowly got used to it.
Shooting abroad is boring, and there is not much time for leisure and entertainment. I just keep shooting every day.
Fortunately, the crew is in good condition. The crew has been with Tang An for nearly ten years. Even if the working environment is not good, it will not affect the filming.
The actors had been training in the army for half a year before this, and they had experienced all the hardships they had to endure, and no one flinched.
If you haven't been trained, you have eaten well, drank well and had a good rest at home, and then come back, the environment suddenly becomes so bad, and those who are less able to bear it will not be able to bear it.
Even if I don't dare to complain because of Tang An, it will definitely affect my work.
Everyone was having a hard time, and Tang An tried his best to control his temper and not lose his temper until absolutely necessary.
It took more than a month to successfully complete the opening battle scene in the city and a large outdoor scene. The physical and mental health of the crew had almost reached the critical point. It would be counterproductive to endure it any longer.
Tang An temporarily adjusted his plan and filmed an indoor scene, allowing the crew to take a break for two days and allowing himself to take a break.
The scenes this month are not simple and difficult, they are all war scenes and explosion scenes.
The crew and actors did not do their job perfectly, and Tang An did not scold them too harshly in order to take care of their emotions.
But I had been holding it in for a long time, so I picked an unlucky guy who happened to be on the muzzle of the gun and took it out for a training session to let off some steam.
Moving to indoor shooting, the crew and actors were much more relaxed, and they were still talking and laughing when they came to the scene.
"Zhao Xun, why haven't you stopped talking in the past two days? Is the candy that delicious?
Zhang Ruoyun was puzzled when he saw Zhao Xun keep squeaking in his mouth. After chewing, he stuffed one into his mouth. In the past two days, whether he was walking, standing, or talking, his mouth was not stopping.
Pass.
"I have to eat sweets for my next scene. Shitou has been eating sweets since he was a child. Eating sweets has become a habit. And when I read the lines, I also ate sweets while saying them. I was confused about the lines at first.
I can't speak clearly clearly, otherwise I will stop talking, so I need to adapt to it for two days."
After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he threw another one into his mouth, chewed it and smiled at them, "Look, eating now doesn't affect my speech, and my pronunciation is very clear and my tone is very smooth."
Peng Yichang asked curiously, "Brother Xun, did Director Tang ask you to do this?"
"I came up with it myself." Zhao Xun smiled honestly and handed him two pills, "Would you like to try it? It's quite delicious."
"Let me try it." Peng Yichang was not polite, took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
“The cherry flavor is pretty good.”
Peng Yichang looked at Zhang Yi and the others while chewing, "Brother Xun, give it to Brother Yi and the others to try too."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "They adults don't eat sweets. Come here and I'll give you two more."
Adults don’t eat sweets
Peng Yichang's mouth suddenly stopped moving, saying that he was a child.
What about coaxing children?
"Ha ha ha ha"
Zhang Yi and the others laughed out loud immediately. They did not expect that the honest and honest Zhao Xun would be so funny.
Wan Qian smiled and said, "Peng Peng, your kid, don't eat so much sugar, it's not good for your teeth."
Zhang Yi dug into his pocket, took out an orange, and handed it to Peng Yichang generously, "Come, the weather here is dry, eat more fruits."
Zhang Ruoyun took out the leftover chewing gum from filming and threw it over with a smile, "Peng Peng, eat some chewing gum to freshen your breath."
Peng Yichang had a black line on his forehead. Did he think of him as a child? He threw all kinds of snacks at him.
No, not a child!
This is like a monkey in a zoo!
Peng Yichang looked depressed. He is already twenty, but he looks cute. He is handsome!
Seeing his expression, everyone became even more happy and couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted their laughter.
"What are you doing!"
Everyone was startled and looked up quickly.
Facing Tang An's slightly cold gaze, everyone was at a loss. You looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what made Tang An angry.
Peng Yichang was the youngest. He looked at Tang An with a somewhat frightened look. He unconsciously raised his hand holding the orange and chewing gum a little higher, and said weakly, "Director Tang, I am eating an orange. Do you want some?"
Tang An glanced around, staring at the mouths and eyes of Zhao Xun and Peng Yichang. Then his eyes turned to the orange in Peng Yichang's hand, and his expression softened.
Tang An immediately put on a smile and said, "There are oranges, let me try them."
Under Peng Yichang's anxious eyes, he peeled the orange open, stuffed a piece into his mouth, and nodded, "It's not bad, but it's still a bit worse than the oranges at Nanfeng."
Peng Yichang said quickly, "My home is very close to Nanfeng. Next time I go back to my hometown, I will bring some authentic Nanfeng tangerines to Director Tang."
"Pengpeng, please bring some for me when you go back to your hometown." Tang An smiled and said, "Okay, let's get ready. Let's finish it as early as possible and try to go home for the New Year."
After saying that, Tang An walked to the monitor and started his preparations.
Tang An was really shocked just now. After the crew came to Casablanca, there was a lot of trouble.
I have encountered children from slums who came to steal things, and some even came specifically for guns. A local extra hid the gun after filming and tried to sneak it away.
There were many people mixed together, and there were even many government and military personnel assisting in the filming.
Yesterday, Tang An discovered that one of the first assistants, one second assistant, and two third assistants of the photography team were chewing khat leaves, and they had been doing so for more than a week.
After asking, I found out that it was sold to them by a soldier sent by the local government to assist in the filming.
Carter leaves are leaves from the Carter tree. They are rich in ephedrine-like substances that can stimulate the human brain and produce a sense of euphoria.
That is, something similar to Aipin, which is very popular in the Arabian region.
Even in Yemen, 80% of men and 50% of women eat this food year-round. It has been passed down from hundreds of years ago and has become a tradition.
In the most serious areas, even if you don't eat, you have to chew khat leaves. Buying khat leaves is more expensive than buying food.
Even when fighting, one cannot stop chewing khat leaves.
Like all drugs and contraband, this stuff is addictive. Tang An immediately arranged for people to send those employees who chewed khat leaves back to their countries last night, otherwise they might be ruined for the rest of their lives.
So when Tang An came just now, he saw Zhao Xun and Peng Yichang chewing something in their mouths. They each looked very excited. He thought they were chewing too, which is why he reacted so bigly.
He rubbed his head. Being in a foreign country and having to be responsible for the entire crew put Tang An under a lot of pressure.
After a small interlude, the filming work continued normally.
Tang An's huge reaction also frightened the actors.
When Tang An walked away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Peng Yichang looked at the orange peel in his hand, but still couldn't figure out the situation, and asked with a confused look, "What happened just now?"
""
Everyone shook their heads in unison, obviously feeling baffled by Tang An's sudden temper.
"Okay, the shooting is about to start, get ready and be careful."
No matter what happened, Tang An's look just now made it clear that it was definitely not a good thing, and everyone's hearts started to rise. They quickly prepared for the next shooting, so as not to get into trouble.
For indoor scenes, there is no need for complicated preparations. After half an hour, the shooting begins.
"Every department is ready, the actors are in place!"
