Chapter Seventy-Seven
April 20th.
"Horror Cruise" ushered in the last day of filming.
There are still two scenes and 9 shots, and it will be over after filming today.
Tang An got up earlier than usual today, and got up at 6 o'clock to get dressed.
Pedestrians on the street outside the window rushed by, and it was either sanitation workers or bus drivers who rushed to work at this time.
The two breakfast stalls were in place as always.
After washing up, Tang An sat on the table and began to prepare for today's shooting.
9 shots, too much, too little, as long as everything goes well, it can still be completed on time.
Storyboard scripts to see what needs to be fine-tuned, the lighting and photography techniques of each lens must be thought out in advance, and the photographer and gaffer should be communicated at that time.
Sets, props, make-up...
You have to have a number of details in mind.
The actor's position, every movement, and expression should also have a general impression.
was busy until half past seven, and there was still half an hour before the start of filming, so Tang An packed up and went downstairs to the set.
Along the way, the whole hotel was empty, and it was obvious that everyone had already rushed to the set.
When I came to the set, the atmosphere was a little relaxed.
As long as today's shooting is over, you can rest for a while, and everyone's tense nerves can finally relax a little.
However, all this is based on the premise that the filming can be completed smoothly today, and everyone spontaneously stays at their posts and makes final preparations.
Tang An went to the front of the monitor and shouted around, "Come on, make me a bowl of porridge, put more pickles, and bring two more buns!"
Not long after, Zhao Lei came over with a bowl of porridge, a bag in his hand, and came to Tang An's side with a flattering face.
"Director, breakfast is here!"
"Lao Zhao just sent a field to take it, how can you do this by yourself!" Tang An took it with a smile.
There are a lot of things, there are buns, fritters, sugar pancakes, and meat foam cakes in plastic bags......
"Today's breakfast for the crew is quite hearty!" Tang An put both cakes into the bowl and took a bite of porridge.
"There happened to be breakfast at the entrance of the base just now, so I bought some by the way, and it just so happened that you haven't eaten yet, director!" 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 out where there are boiled and fried liver buns nearby, it seems that Lao Zhao, you are better than me looking for food!"
Zhao Lei was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I don't have any other hobbies, I just love to eat, and I have to find out what is delicious in the neighborhood whenever I go to a place!"
Tang An is not disgusted by his sycophant behavior, on the contrary, it is good to have a dog leg by his side.
"Okay, you go get busy too, today should be the last day, go finish the work!" Tang An waved his hand.
It took 5 minutes to finish breakfast and touched my stomach a little bloated.
Tang An stood up and looked around, pointing out from time to time.
Sensing that he had digested some of it, he clapped his hands and summoned everyone over.
"Stop!"
Tang An looked around, "Today is the last day of filming for our crew, and everyone is very excited!"
"I'm thrilled too!"
There were smiles on everyone's faces, just like when they went to school, every day before a holiday, no matter how much they were scolded by the teacher, how many subjects of homework they didn't hand in, and how many points they got in the exam.
At that time, it is definitely the happiest time of the week, even happier than Saturday and Sunday.
Tang An gradually put away his smile, and his face was straight!
"But!"
"Today gave me a twelve-point boost and show the state of the previous few days!"
"When will the filming be finished and when will it be finished, if something goes wrong and affects the shooting, then don't blame me for turning my face!"
Tang An doesn't want them to drop the chain at the last minute, and he must keep them with a sense of urgency!
Everyone's expressions tightened, and then they also put away the smiles on their faces.
During this time, everything went well for the crew, and Tang An basically didn't spit out dirty words, but they didn't forget that in the first few days of filming, everyone in the crew was sprayed all over.
Tang An asked everyone to disband, took the leaders of each group to inspect the studio, and carefully discussed the details of the shooting.
At half past eight, the crew started filming on time.
"Forty-fourth, one shot, one time!"
"Let's go!"
With Tang An's heavy start, the crew immediately began to run.
The studio, which had been arranged at the bottom of the cabin, was dim, with only a few incandescent lights at the top emitting a faint glow.
Xu Jinglei ran in from the door in a panic, she saw another self in the corridor just now, and followed her companion to the boat.
Everything was exactly the same as what she had experienced before.
She leaned to her side, and walked forward with a vague step, one hand still pressed to her head, as if she was in some pain.
Tang An in front of the monitor nodded, Xu Jinglei's performance did not have any problems, and her image also fit the role, after more than a month of shooting, she has performed impeccably.
"Okay, pass!"
......
A few short shots of the first scene ended at 12 o'clock, and seeing that there was still some time, Tang An thought about shooting another shot.
The next scene is when the heroine finds a pile of notes on the ground with the same sentence written on it.
If they get on board, kill them all!
"Forty-fifth, one shot!"
"Let's go!"
In the camera, Xu Jinglei was lying on the ground writing the sentence on the paper, with an urgent look and a hint of disbelief.
When she was done, she compared it with the other slips of paper and found that the handwriting was exactly the same, as if it had been copied.
The expressions, the movements, the micro-movements of rummaging through the slips of paper, the trembling hands of the writing, are just perfect.
Tang An just wanted to shout OK, but he found a trace of abnormality, and he immediately shouted to stop!
"Click, wait!"
Tang An stared at every part of the monitor and carefully examined it, and then shouted, "Old Zhou"
"Director!" Photographer Zhou Jixun immediately ran over nervously, and when he saw Tang An's unkind face, his heart twitched.
"Check the camera, see if the picture is color cast, and see if there is any problem with the white balance!" Tang An pointed at him and said loudly.
Zhou Jixun hurriedly checked the camera and proofread it repeatedly, and then said, "Director, no problem!"
"Lao Zhang!" Tang An shouted at Zhang Yiping again.
"Bring the color analyzer and check the monitor brightness, contrast, gamma, color temperature, ......"
Zhang Yiping's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took out the color analysis one from the warehouse and made color corrections to the monitor.
It didn't take long for the results to come out, and the gamma was somewhat off, resulting in a difference in the brightness of the light output on the display.
"Lao Zhang, how did you do it, you have to proofread the monitor before every shooting, how could you forget it this time!"
This is also the brightness of the light of this lens is a little brighter than the previous scene, and the color cast looks obvious, otherwise Tang An really wouldn't be so easy to see through 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 cooperating for so long, he knows Tang An's temper very well, and he will suffer when he scolds you, no matter whether you are wrong or not, admit your mistakes first and then correct them!
If you dare to talk back, it will be miserable!
"Okay, let's eat, and shoot again in the afternoon!"
was delayed like this, and it was almost 12 o'clock, so I simply started to eat first, took a break and then filmed.
was scolded by Tang An like this, the afternoon shooting was much smoother, and everyone increased their attention, for fear that something would go wrong.
At 4 p.m., the last shot ended.
Tang An called up all the films shot today, watched them several times, and after making sure that there was no problem, he stood up and shouted at everyone with a loudspeaker.
"I announce!"
"The movie is finished!"
