Chapter 18 Finale
"Hey, what are you two guys doing?" a blonde sexy chick walked up and accosted her, apparently some actor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But her figure and appearance were really good, Lance Arcod's little eyes widened, and Sid asked strangely, "You are also a beauty pageant actor?
The blonde blinked and smiled, "I just brought my sister to the show, so I heard you're the director?"
The blonde sat down next to Sid as she spoke, and she lifted Erlang's legs, revealing a large section of her snow-white thighs. Sid couldn't help but laugh: "Then how about I tell you a secret that no one else knows?"
"What's the secret?" the blonde smiled curiously.
Sid smiled slyly, "I...... I'm only 17 years old. ”
"Ahh In Lao Mei's territory, there are really few adults who dare to touch minors.
"Hey, you're a waste. Lance Arcord grumbled with a smile.
"If you like, I can help you call her back. Sid said with a wicked grin.
"Forget it, that blonde won't be interested in me as a little photographer. Lance Arcod smiled and waved his hand.
What follows is a series of shoots around the beauty pageant, starting with Lindsay's preparation in the dressing room, which can be said to be an extreme display of the materialized world and the objectification of women.
Girls in their teens and thirteens wore distorted heavy makeup, and even when the camera followed, one girl was still spraying tanning, and as the camera followed, the mother of the other girl was using an airbrush to put on her makeup.
Compared to them, Oliver, with his thick glasses, is like an ugly duckling, not to mention the beauty pageant talent contest that Lance Arcord is filming. Singing, dancing, acrobatic performances, these little actors are specially recruited from dance schools and performing arts schools.
Although they are young, they all perform well, and Lance Arcod and others are amazed while filming, and at the end they wipe their sweat: "I will never send my own children to participate in this kind of thing, it's terrifying!"
Then there's Oliver's performance on stage, in fact, the ordinary catwalk is really pediatric for Lindsay, who has been the spokesperson of Ford since he was a child.
But when Lindsay's striptease was officially needed, Sid gave a rare stop.
"Cut!" Sid took off his headphones and walked over to Lindsay.
Lindsey asked a little nervously, "Brother Sid, am I not doing well?"
"No, no, Lindsay, actually, you did it...... That's great. Sid touched his chin and smiled bitterly, Yes, Lindsay has been dancing since she was a child, and her sports cells are very good, but this simple dance is not difficult for her. But the performance is too skillful, but it does not meet the needs of the film.
"Oliver is a little girl who is not very skilled in her movements, but has only been learning from her grandfather for a while. So you have to deliberately jump a little stiffer, and then slowly get better and better. Sid explained, and after seeing Lindsay's understanding, Sid added before leaving, "At first, you have to be very serious, and then tear off your pants and start smiling." ”
After finishing the scene for Lindsay, Sid clapped his hands, "The camera is back, everyone prepares, do it again!"
Then the second time, Lindsay's performance was much better. Watching this little girl take off, dress, and dance on the beauty pageant stage of objectifying women, it is a mockery and ridicule of the world.
Combined with Lindsay's slightly clumsy movements, it looks comedic and ironic.
This stripping, dressing, and dancing were also divided into three parts by Sid to shoot, from the first Lindsay solo dance, to the male host chasing Lindsay on stage, and his father came on stage to stop him, and then to the last family jumped on the stage and danced with their little daughter.
This paragraph is particularly energetic under the interpretation of several actors who were unknown at this time.
Yes, I'm broke, I'm a suicide attempted gayman, I'm colorblind who wants to be a pilot, yes, I'm Loser. But even so, I'm going to use my own way to Fu―ThisWorld!!
With the live music, Sid is particularly cool to watch behind the monitor!
This beauty contest scene was filmed for a total of four days, although the time was short, but it laid a solid foundation for Sid's grasp of the multi-person scene.
After the filming of the hotel ended, when the crew left here, the manager of the hotel also came to see them off. The manager quipped, "I think we're going to have a lot of fans here soon, Director Sid." ”
"Thank you, and I hope so. Sid smiled and shook his hand.
After filming these big scenes, there are only some scattered shots left, which need to be reshot separately. After checking in with Henry, Sid was left with only the actors who needed to be refilmed, and the others could go home for the time being.
Unless there is a temporary reshoot that needs to be retaken, or a post-dubbing refill, everyone will not meet for the time being until the official start of publicity.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the day when it's finished. Ian said, holding the beer in his hand.
"If you really want to see it sooner, I can record a video and send it to you when I'm done. Sid said with a sly smile.
"No, I still want to see it in the cinema. Ian laughed too.
"Well, we'll have to wait until the premiere. Sid shrugged.
After the farewell party for the departing actors, Mr. Ian and the others were sent to Los Angeles Airport by special person to take a plane back to the United Kingdom or other places.
Sid, on the other hand, did not pause at all, because the schedule that was originally scheduled to be completed within March was already out of time, and every day it was extended, it was a constant burning of money. And Sid, who has always believed in controlling costs, never wants to waste any more.
In early April, Sid and they were filming Zach and Commander Gao standing at the end of the sea at a small pier on a California beach, filming Zach and Commander Gao standing at the end of the sea, chatting sentence by sentence.
"Do you know Marcel Proust?" Zach.
"The guy you teach in your book?"
"Yes, French writer, Loser through and through!" Zach said with a tiger face.
Gosling laughed.
"Never had a real job, unrequited love that didn't pay off, homosexuality. It took twenty years to write a book, and almost no one read it. But he is probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. "It's rare for Zach to be serious, and the performance is not bad.
And the essence of Gosling's acting school is gradually revealed, and the sudden cheerful and calm mentality of the young man who opens his heart is expressed very well: "Do what you want, and/Fu・・/the/rest!"
Zach and Gosling, who usually look weak in the six-person group and have a weak sense of presence, are very miraculously unearthing the cold humor and acting skills of the two when they play alone.
With the two of them facing off, this scene passed only because the camera needed to be filmed three times. Looking at the image on the monitor, Sid closed his eyes and went through his mind again, and everyone stopped to look at him.
Sid opened his eyes and gave a thumbs up: "Pass!"
Everyone immediately cheered, and all the crew members, Zack and Gosling, hugged each other excitedly, cheered loudly and whistled.
"Whew~~~, it's finally over. Sid breathed a sigh of relief, the most important filming work was over, and it was also a test for himself. Sid walked to the filming location, hugged Gosling and Zack, and clapped hands with Lance Arcord in celebration: "Thank you, Lance." ”
Sid's words are sincere, if it weren't for the full assistance of the camera crew led by Lance Arcord, Sid would have been difficult to pass even the most basic lens control, let alone the growth later.
"You too, Sid. Lance Arcord put down the camera on his shoulder and gave Sid a big bear hug: "To be honest, your growth has exceeded my expectations. ”
"Can I see this as a sycophant to the director? haha. Sid quipped.
"As long as it works. Lance Arcod laughed heartily.
Finally, Sid took the microphone handed over by the field attendant, "We did it!"
"Oye!!" Sid's words simply and directly hit everyone's hearts.
"For more than a month, everyone has worked hard. It is precisely because of everyone's concerted efforts that we were able to complete this film that condensed our hard work. Sid's words caused everyone to applaud.
"This film doesn't just belong to me, but to everyone who works for it. Sid's humble words made everyone cheer.
"Thank you for your efforts, the filming of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is over!!" Sid held out two fingers and made a saluting gesture.
After the celebration party, the crew of "Little Sunshine Beauty" officially announced its disbandment. Next is the editing, soundtrack, sound effects and other post-production work. Sid Road, the work on the soundtrack, was very prescient, and after having Lance Arcod complete the dynamic reel, he went to the composer and the studio to score the score.
But the sound effects have to wait until the edited video comes out before they can be processed. After all, the sound engineer has to watch the film to dub it.
So when Sid returned to Los Angeles, he immediately asked Henry to rent an editing room, and then he went headlong into it, and he slept in the editing room for a whole week.
Although at first, Henry still worriedly asked, "Are you sure you don't need to find an editor for this feature film?" ”
Sid smiled, "Why don't you come over every day to watch my editing, and if you think there's a problem, how about we find out?"
