Chapter 13, Los Angeles
Los Angeles, USA, at 12:45 p.m. local time, the plane from Seoul to Los Angeles officially landed.
Compared with a small country like South Korea, a country with a large land area also has many other problems, such as the definition of time zones. For example, although the Celestial Empire spans multiple time zones, the whole country has a common capital time, that is, the time of the East Eighth District. South Korea, on the other hand, is located in the time of the East Kowloon District.
The time in the United States is more complicated, because there are 48 states in the continental United States, with a total of four time zones. From west to east, Pacific Time, Mountain Time, Central Time and Eastern Time are in descending order. There is also a separate Alaska time.
So from Seoul to Los Angeles, the flight duration and the exact time could not be accurately converted, and finally the international date line was crossed.
However, these common senses are commonplace for Wang Taika. Because he was tired, Wang Taika got on the plane and went to sleep, anyway, there was nothing to shoot of Crystal alone.
After getting off the plane and barely having time to rest, Wang Taika followed Crystal directly to the performance location. Of course, it's not just functions, but groups such as Shaoshi, Toshin, and SJ have also arrived.
Wang Taika did not follow Crystal, but directly assembled with the large army of the film crew. The film crew had an integrated lounge where they all rested. And Wang Taika finally met Zheng Xiuxian.
Seriously, when I usually see Zheng Xiuxian's big bald scoop in the Mediterranean, how do I feel irritable. But now that I suddenly look at it, I still feel ...... More irritable!
"Are you feeling better?" asked Jung so-hyun.
"Much better, team leader. Wang Taika nodded and asked, "Why are you all resting and not shooting?"
Zheng Xiuxian smiled: "It's the rehearsal stage now, just let the deputy cameraman and assistants take a picture casually." It's not yet the content of the official group roundup. ”
"Isn't it the official group comprehensive content?" Wang Taika didn't understand a little.
Zheng Xiuxian pulled Wang Taika and handed Wang Taika a bottle of mineral water: "We are filming a group show, not here to shoot the performance site." There is a dedicated film crew on the show. It is impossible to broadcast the content of the concert in the group comprehensive. So at most, it's good to shoot some of the members training in the background. There is also a small link to find someone, and it would be good to let the deputy cameraman shoot them. They are different from you, you are skilled, and you can already be the host of your own so soon. They don't have the technical skills, they have to be connected. So these small pictures that are not important, just leave them to practice. ”
"Oh, I see. Wang Taika nodded. This is also normal, such as these small shots for newcomers to exercise, which is common in many industries. Cultivating new talents is also a process of continuous development of the industry!
After all, videographers are also trained little by little. Although Wang Taika became one of the main camera positions not long after he came to the film crew, these are all based on Wang Taika's excellent technology.
This is really not Wang Taika's blowing, just talking about the current camera technology, which has been practiced for many years of filming documentaries. Therefore, these Korean little stick beginners, even if they practice for a few more years, they will definitely not be able to catch up with Wang Taika with eight horses.
"It's the performance period these days, so there's not a lot of work, so you take the time to rest and come back. After the concert, the group will officially shoot, I'm afraid it will take several days to start work in a row, don't be unbearable!" Zheng Xiuxian instructed: "Several of my old cameramen were all borrowed by others, and I couldn't come to the United States for a while." So in this episode of the American reunion, you are really my only pillar!"
Wang Taika smiled dumbly, no wonder he felt that today's treatment was unusually good, as a cameraman, it was impossible for the team leader to treat him so kindly. So that's what happened?
But it seems that it feels more like Zheng Xiuxian is not taken seriously, so everyone has been transferred!
"You should be the first time to come to a concert, right?" asked Jung so-hyun.
"Uh......" Wang Taika remembered an incident many years ago, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, and then immediately covered it up, and said with a smile: "Probably...... For the first time!"
"If it's your first time, then I'll give you a holiday, and there will be a shooting in the evening, so just wait for the rehearsal to be over. You look around and get used to it. The concert scene is very chaotic, and you have to learn to adapt to this messy environment. Zheng Xiuxian said with a smile: "If you really come to the company in the future, there will be many opportunities like this." ”
"Thank you!" Wang Taika nodded, just as he really wanted to go backstage. Backstage at the concert, Wang Taika really hasn't been here.
Out of the lounge, there is the corridor in the backstage. A little further on, there is the lounge of each combination. However, because of the urgency of time, Wang Taika saw from a distance that someone in the corridor had already started to practice dancing.
There are posters on the walls with the lineup for the concert. There are functions, young time, Toshin, sj, Bao'er, and so on. However, apart from the function and the young time, Wang Taika is not familiar with any other people.
After looking around, there was a lack of interest, and Wang Taika walked around the backstage. Although he told himself in his heart that it was just to familiarize himself with the situation around him and look around. But it can be seen from Wang Taika's somewhat nervous expression that he actually wants to have a chance encounter with that stinky coriander in a certain corridor and around a certain corner.
However...... Didn't meet!
Therefore, if you really want to be as bloody as a TV series in life, and when you want to meet someone, you can meet them casually, how good do you say!
Although I have seen a lot of celebrities, I really don't know any of them. After walking around, it didn't mean anything, so I was ready to go back. At this time, the music on the front desk suddenly sounded!
"This rhythm ......" Wang Taika was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is a function song!
Without saying a word, I ran straight to the front desk. Sure enough, Song Coriander and her three younger sisters have already come to the stage. Although it was a dress rehearsal, several people were not lazy, and the strength of the movements was shown in the form of performances.
In fact, sometimes, watching a music video and watching a live stage are really a completely different experience. Although it feels like the same people are dancing the same dance, the visual and auditory shock is really completely different.
For example, Wang Taika, when he listened to the function song before, it was all to listen to Song Coriander's voice, and as for the song, he was not impressed at all!
But when they arrived at the scene, with the dazzling lights and shocking music, they watched the four people slowly walk out of the darkness, and then began to dance and sing in unison. That kind of shock is really hard to describe in words unless you come to the scene.
This is the second time that Wang Taika has officially watched the live stage, but the first time Wang Taika is completely obsessed with Song Coriander, and he can't see anyone else in his eyes. But this time, Wang Taika looks at the performance from a holistic perspective.
This feeling made Wang Taika feel in a trance that he didn't seem to know Song Coriander anymore! Because in his impression, the somewhat domineering and childish Song Coriander was gone, and was replaced by a flamboyant and domineering Victoria! Not only Song Coriander, but also the originally somewhat hateful and childish Crystal Little Demon King has also become a cold and handsome krystal!
It's hard to imagine, but that's exactly what it is. Maybe they are the reason why countless fans are fascinated and crazy at this moment.
That...... What are they in life? Wang Taika smiled, and even felt a little ridiculous. Wang Taika, who was originally most tired of chasing stars, suddenly felt that chasing stars was not an unreasonable thing at this moment.
Is this a double standard? Or is it because of Song Coriander and love the house and Wu? Maybe! Wang Taika was really incomprehensible to the star chaser before, and even said that the star chaser, especially the person who chases the Korean star, has a bubble in his brain!
It's a pity that the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, see who you can spare! Once Wang Taika's sworn words, it was finally implemented on his own body! If Wang Taika is a fan, then the culprit must be the function!
Wang Taika was watching the performance of the function intently, when suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw a woman with a smile like a flower behind him.
"It's you!"
