The scenes on the beach have been filmed, but the scenes on the sea will have to be filmed until the end.
The whale prop that Tang An ordered from Xiangshan Film and Television Base will take some time to complete, and Yang Mi is not yet proficient in some of the surfing scenes.
Although Xiangshan Film and Television Base has not yet been opened to the public, the overall department structure has been established, and some equipment used for filming can be rented there.
You can also customize props, costumes, and build outdoor scenes. Tang An went to customize it a few days ago. It is a 30-meter-long whale model that is guaranteed to float in the water.
I paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and the remaining 2,000 yuan was paid upon delivery.
Even though this was 2004, 3,000 yuan to make such a huge model was already very cheap. When Tang An asked in Hengdian, it was impossible to do it without 15,000 yuan.
This is also the benefit of the new film and television base. Not only does it give the crew more choices, but it also offers a lot of discounts when it first opens to attract popularity.
After greeting Dabao and Sanbao, I packed up my equipment and loaded it into the car to go back to the village. I would have to stay in that pool for the next half month to shoot.
"Here, this is for you. Thank you for your hard work. Remember to do your homework after eating!"
Tang An touched Dabao's head and handed him a bag of snacks.
It is the May 1st seven-day holiday, and there is still some time before the busy farming season, so these two boys are helping with the crew.
"Thank you, Brother An!" Dabao cheered, and he and Sanbao got in the car and started sharing snacks.
At this time Yang Mi walked over with his coat on, "Director."
"What's wrong?"
"Um...can I go for a swim in the sea? I've been here for a few days and I haven't even been in the water!" Yang Mi begged with big watery eyes.
She originally thought she could have a lot of fun filming at the beach, but in the past few days, she was shooting all the scenes on the shore, and most of the scenes in the sea were shot in a small pool, which made her very disappointed.
"Well, I'll give you half an hour. I'll be back at 5 o'clock. The village chief is still waiting for us to start dinner!" Tang An looked at the cheap electronic watch on his wrist and nodded.
"Ms. Xu, please watch carefully and don't let anything happen to you!"
"Don't worry, Director Tang!"
Xu Ruoyun said that she also put on her swimsuit and went into the water with Yang Mi, and left the beach soon.
After waiting in the car for a while, the two of them got on the car at 10 past 5 o'clock, all wet.
After being 10 minutes late, Tang An didn't say anything for the first time. He turned around and said, "Dry yourself dry and just wear clothes like this. The tent has been put away just now!"
The moment he turned around, Tang An took a look at their figures. Yang Mi had already seen them. Unexpectedly, Xu Ruoyun's figure was no worse than that of Yang Mi. He was slightly taller, probably 168cm, and He looks much more mature than Yang Mi.
Yang Mi is probably about 163cm now. Later, many female stars announced their height to the public as 168cm. For example, Fan Binbin, Angela, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying... all have 168cm in their official information.
I don’t know what’s so good about this number.
After they got dressed, Tang An started the car and drove towards the village.
"Sister Ruoyun, it's so comfortable in the sea. It's much more spacious than in the swimming pool. How about we come back tomorrow!" Yang Mi was chirping there.
"It's up to you. If you have time, you can swim if you want!" Xu Ruoyun put her hair back and smiled.
"It's fun now, but in a week, I guess you won't want to go to the sea for a year!" Tang An, who was driving, interrupted.
It’s weird to want to swim when you spend at least 12 hours a day in the water!
"Why?" Yang Mi asked confused.
Tang An smiled and said, "You'll know tomorrow!"
...
The next day, Yang Mi really understood what Tang An meant!
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Expression...expression! Pay attention to the movement of the body!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
A morning has passed, and not a single shot has been taken today. Yang Mi also soaked in the water tank for more than four hours.
"Okay, come out and eat first!"
Tang An looked at the time and said helplessly.
This is the first scene in the water. It is the scene at the beginning of the film where Yang Mi is bitten by a shark and falls into the water.
Most of the underwater scenes were shot in a water tank, with various rocks and sand arranged as seabed scenery.
Place a scenery board at the back with various water plants or other backgrounds painted on it. When shooting, place the camera in front of the water tank. As long as there is no reflection on the glass and no frame of the water tank is brought into the picture, the picture will be the same as shooting in the water. reality.
It's not a very complicated shot, but Yang Mi can't get into the mood.
Yang Mi climbed out of the water tank and looked at Tang An sheepishly, "I'm sorry, director!"
"You...well, let's eat first and talk about it in the afternoon!"
Tang An sighed and did not scold her.
Young actors sometimes need more encouragement. If they are scolded harshly, it will make her lose confidence and even affect her mental state, which makes her lose more than she gains.
While eating, Tang An had been thinking about how to get Yang Mi into the mood. He has trained many actors. People of different ages, genders, identities, and experiences need different methods to prescribe the right medicine.
Yang Mi, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head to eat his rice and looked up at Tang An from time to time.
As soon as his eyes came into contact with Tang An's expressionless face, he immediately shrank back, not daring to look down at him.
The director seemed angry, it looked so scary!
Yang Mi ate the meal with fear. After taking the last bite, Tang An's voice came to his ears.
"Take a break for 10 minutes and come back on time at 12:30!"
After saying a few words, Tang An returned to the backyard and began to prepare.
After Tang An left, Yang Midan scratched his head and said, "Sister Ruoyun, did I perform poorly?"
Xu Ruoyun knew how important an actor's condition was. If he didn't have confidence, then the subsequent filming would be even more difficult, so he advised, "Mi Mi, don't worry, we have just started filming. NG is normal, so big Celebrities will also encounter situations like this when filming, so think carefully about how to act."
"Well!" Yang Mi clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and after sitting for two minutes, he came to Tang An's side.
"Director, I can start!"
"Change your clothes!"
Tang An readjusted the lights. After Yang Sijia was bitten by a shark, she left a lot of blood and needed to dye all the water in the tank red.
However, plasma is a bit expensive, and the dye is difficult to wash and harmful to the body. Liu Dong compromised and decided to shine red light into the water to create the illusion that the water has been dyed red!
"Just like in the morning, move up slowly, got it?" Tang An warned Sanbao, who was in charge of lighting.
"Brother An, I know, it's not my fault this morning!" Sanbao nodded vigorously and glanced at Yang Mi who had finished changing her clothes, making her look embarrassed.
