Chapter 177: Black Pearl Appears

Although Britney Spears and Sid have both failed at the Grammys of the Year Awards, this is no longer the case.

On the one hand, after three years of polishing, Britney, who was originally considered to be flashy and unworthy of the name, not only proved her achievements on TeenPop with her unique popularity, but also proved her unshakable popularity through 911 charity concerts and other channels.

On the other hand, the Grammy Best New Artist that Sid was shortlisted for with TeenPop at the beginning of the year was not so much a loss to the fast-rising AK sister as an inevitable result of "offending" the record industry.

But since the beginning of this year, Fire Lion first jointly acquired Warner Records, one of the five major records, and then turned the entire record industry upside down with the help of Apple's iTunes music store, although there are still only two in the iTunes store, Fire Lion Records and EMI Records.

However, the impact and demonstration effect of the excellent digital music sales of the iTunes music store on the entire physical record industry cannot be ignored.

Of course, on the other hand, more importantly, the six singles of the "B' Eyes" group this time are indeed of a higher level than the previously unpopular TeenPOP, HipPop has been on the rise in recent years, and these songs written by Sid and others.

Whether it is the simple brainwashing "My Humps" or the mixed electronic music "Pump It", it is not only very popular among fans, but also very popular with black listeners, and in this regard, Sid and Britney are the only white hip-hop singers after Mu Ye who can impress black fans with HipPop.

For this alone, it was hard for the Grammy House antiques to ignore, and Sid knew that although the Grammy Academy was relatively conservative, their discipline was really not high compared to the old guys at Oscar.

While singers like Christina and AK are more likely to be favored by the Grammys, it's as a solo female singer who is more R&B and soul, and it's a different story in the hip-hop world, which is somewhat similar to hip-hop, singing about personality and mavericks.

Of course, the necessary strength is also indispensable.

Otherwise, how could Mu Ye sweep the music scene and the Grammys with just a few "swearing" hip-hop songs?

Therefore, the music video released by Fire Lion Records this time not only hyped up the popularity of "B' Eyes" among ordinary fans, but also successfully attracted the attention of everyone at the Grammy Academy, who was voting for the nomination list.

And the public relations of Fire Lion Records also entered an intensive offensive, and the songs of their own boss group, of course, they did not dare to use public relations without force.

But the Grammys are no more than anything else, even if they have to be hard, they have to be skillful, just like Harvey Weinstein, who is still rampant in Hollywood for decades, despite those few axes, which speaks very well to the technical problem of public relations.

Shooting at night is always relatively more troublesome, Sid looked at the lights arranged not far away, and then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, he turned his head to look at the assistant director Justin Lin, "Justin, let them hurry up, I'm afraid that the clouds will block the moon again later." ”

"Okay, Boss. Justin Lin nodded, and immediately ran to the lighting team to communicate with them.

Sid and the others are now filming the Black Pearl's first night attack on a British port at the South Bay in Los Angeles, which is the first large-scale battle scene in the film and an important scene for the Black Pearl's first appearance.

So Sid and others have been preparing for the filming of this scene for a long time, whether it is the preparation of the explosion special effects team, or the multi-person scheduling of large-scale battles, as well as the camera position settings, which made Sid and the photography team and the action design team design for a long time before determining the final plan.

And today is the time to put your previous work to the test, "Brother Sid, are you alright?" asked Lindsey as she walked over from behind in a jacket and asked with concern.

"Well, I'm fine. Sid smiled and put his arm around Lindsay's shoulder.

"And say you're okay, look your brow is about to furrow to the sky-" Lindsey said as she reached out and touched Sid's forehead, she didn't shoot tonight, but she still showed up on the set to cheer Sid on.

"Hehe, I see you're in a good mood. Sid smiled and patted Xiao Nizi's waist, and some nervousness couldn't help but relax slightly.

Although it is not the first time to shoot a large scene, the port battle of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is indeed the first time Sid has filmed a large battle scene with a large number of people.

People who know a little bit about film shooting know that the movie scene of large-scale scene scheduling is the part that tests the director's skills the most, a large-scale scene is shot with multiple cameras, and the extras and main actors have a detailed division of labor and perform their duties, which not only tests the quality of the actors, but also tests the skills of the photographer, and finally depends on the director's organizational ability.

So it's no wonder that Sid was a little uneasy before filming began.

"Boss, we're all set. Justin Lin said as he ran back and waved his hands.

“OK。 Sid nodded, then returned to the director's watch booth with Lindsay, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted, "Action!"

With Sid's order, the shooting began.

"Did my daughter give you an answer?" Uncle Jonathan Pree, who played the Governor, and James Norrington, who played Brigadier General Norrington, walked on the antique city walls, and Uncle Governor asked Brigadier General Norrington.

"No, she hasn't. Brigadier General Norrington shook his head.

"Ell, today is not easy for her. Uncle Governor's words made the brigadier general secretly amused, "Bad weather, what do you think?"

Brigadier General Norrington listened to the footsteps and said thoughtfully, "Very cold." ”

Uncle Governor also stopped, rolled his eyes, and showed a strange expression, "What is that (voice)?"

Brigadier General Norrington looked back at the side of the fort and "cannonball attack ——!!"

As he spoke, he pounced on the Governor, and as the two of them fell to the ground, the explosion special effects team immediately pressed the explosion button as Sid's movements.

With a sound of "pound ——!", the "explosion" mixed with fire and smoke blew up the "fort" that was close to the two actors very accurately.

Although the "explosion" was very close, the two actors were unharmed, and James Norrington, who played Brigadier General Norrington, shouted in front of the counter-attack camera, "Fight back——!!"

"Cut——!" Sid pinched his chin and looked at it again, nodding, "This is over, prepare for the explosion shot of the scene outside the harbor." ”

With Sid's words, everyone didn't have time to cheer, so they entered the next work in full swing, the battle scene of this port, Sid designed the shooting from the outside to the inside, from the exterior with the beach, to the interior of the town, all the way into the battle.
