Chapter 135: Filming Begins

The location is the Brooklyn Bridge from New Jersey to New York.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun had just risen.

"Hurry, hurry, time waits for no one, all departments hurry up and get in place!" shouted Director Sid with a loudspeaker.

They are on the famous Brooklyn Bridge at the moment, and today is the first day of filming for "Begin Again."

And the first scene starts with the heroine Greta and her boyfriend Dave entering New York City, because most of this film is filmed on location, and unlike the former "Little Sunshine Beauty", there are quite a lot of natural scenes in the city.

So in order to get the desired lighting effect, the crew had to race against time, and because Greta and her boyfriend Dave entered New York City, symbolizing the beginning of a new life, the effect on the camera must be early in the morning.

Therefore, in order to achieve the corresponding effect, it is necessary to shoot before 11 o'clock in the morning, when the sun is still at an oblique angle, otherwise, you have to wait until 3 to 5 o'clock in the evening, when the sun has the same angle.

Besides, "Justin, what time is it until we block the Brooklyn Bridge?" Sid turned to look at his assistant director.

"Until 11 a.m., Boss. Justin Lin looked at his watch and said, "It's 8:15 now." ”

In addition to the factor of God, there is also the factor of sealing the bridge. After all, the Brooklyn Bridge is an important transportation route in New York, and although the city hall approved the application for the shooting of the fire lion, there was not much time.

Even if Sid can apply for another shooting through American Express, or Wells Fargo, or Ali's connections with a black gold card later, the wasted time will not come back.

Now it's November, New York is not Los Angeles, New York in November has already entered the season of autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and it will start to snow in another month.

To be honest, now is not the best time to shoot "Begin Again", summer is, but because of the preparations in October, filming in November is already the fastest speed.

And Sid is also fighting hard to catch up with the effect of 911!

Also fighting are Amy Adams and Benedict as the leading actors, although the autumn wind sweeps, but they can only wear summer T-shirts and shirts, although in order to show naturalness, Sid let them wear sweatshirts and women's suits, but the car is still cold.

"Amy, Benny, are you all right?" asked Sid, looking at the two men sitting in the car.

"Well, we're good directors. Benny nodded.

"It's alright, Sid, Aqiu—" Amy Adams sneezed as soon as she finished speaking.

"You'd better put on your coat first. Sid looked at Amy's assistants who were standing not far away, and they hurried over to get their coats.

"No need. Amy Adams stretched out her hand to stop, "The coat will mess up the makeup and costumes, and the makeup artist will have to tidy it up later, it's a waste of time, let's just wait." ”

Seeing Amy who knew so much, Sid couldn't help but nod secretly with satisfaction, after the baptism of several movies, now Amy Adams has become more and more of a professional actor.

This is the chief photographer Lance Arcord running over with a portable camera, "Sid, the camera is OK." ”

It turned out that there was a problem with the camera setup, and Lance and the accompanying technicians researched and solved it.

"Okay, Lance, you and I get in the car and shoot, and then the gaffer adjusts it, and we'll start shooting right away!" Sid said immediately.

""Begin Again's song changes your life" first scene first, Action!"

With the assistant director's boarding, "Begin Again's Song Changes Life" officially started filming.

Sid, Lance (Arcod), and the two lead actors sit in the car, with the lead actors sitting in the back, and Sid and Lance sitting in the front.

As soon as shooting started, the crew driver next to Sid started the car, and Lance, who was holding a small camera, sat next to Amy, put the camera to her side and began to shoot.

Amy, on the other hand, is holding the latest Sony compact DV camera in one hand, smiling and smiling back at the camera. Under the large lens of Reims, you can clearly see the curious and excited Amy, or Greta holding the DV camera to New York, and the picture on the small screen of the DV machine.

Lance uses Dave's first-person time to show the intimacy between the two when they first arrive in New York.

This scene is the scene of Greta and Dave in the car on their first trip to New York, using a visible picture-in-picture method to show Greta's innocence and excitement at this time, she is like all New Yorkers who have just arrived in New York, with a beautiful vision for the future.

Until reality confused her face.

Although the time span of this scene is quite long, the difficulty is very low, and for Sid and Lance, they are both types that can be done with their eyes closed.

After Lance filmed Amy and Benedict playing from the perspective of both men and women, Lance squeezed to Sid's side and photographed the boyfriend and girlfriend hugging each other from the front seat.

And all this must be when the car is moving, even when the crew car arrives in front, the people outside are still nervously sweating.

"Hey, I said Lance, are you gaining weight again?" Sid helplessly squeezed into the front row with Lance and complained, you must know that the front row of the car is a double seat, and one driver occupies one,

"I'm not the kind of person who is lazy. Lance Arcord immediately retorted eagerly.

"Huh——, huh?" Sid looked him up and down with a smile, "Alright, let's get started." ”

Just when Sid and others finally began to shoot the determined work "Begin Again", the next move of Fire Lion Records also quietly began.

"Do you want to hear the song that makes Britney Spears jealous?" was a mocking slogan that suddenly appeared on the covers of major magazines and media in North America in November.

The name "Britney" is used as a title, which is definitely the most eye-catching method at the moment, but most people dare not use it like this.

Sid and the Fire Lion's lawyer team aren't vegetarians, but it's a different story when the person who does that is the Fire Lion.

On November 9th, Fire Lion Records, new artists, new singles, new albums.

The concise to humble title declares its arrival to the world in a very domineering way.

Of course, in addition to this seemingly simple publicity, Fire Lion Records is actually underneath the surface of the water, and a lot of work is underway. This includes a series of radio stations across the United States, a single scheduled to be broadcast on November 9, and a promotion of the single on major television networks.
