Making a movie is really not an easy thing to do.

Since the end of the negotiation between Tang Feng and Wilton, he has been busy, what originally seemed to be a very simple matter, he thought that as long as the personnel and equipment were in place, it could be completed in one or two nights, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome to do.

Since there is only one main actor in this scene in the police station, after Tang Feng found George and negotiated with him yesterday, he immediately entered the substantive preparation stage.

He called Hunter that night to discuss the filming time and the people involved.

Hunter, for his own reasons, did not allow him to recruit extras. He felt that if a large number of extras entered the police station, it would affect the normal work of the police station. However, he also mobilized the police on rotation to cooperate with Tang Feng's filming, and the salary was only a little higher than that of the extras.

Tang Feng is still very satisfied with this result, which is much better than his initial idea. So the next day, he came to the police station early, made a record under the leadership of Hunter and Anne, signed some necessary contracts, and then communicated with some police officers on rotational leave.

Hollywood is one of the most important business cards in Los Angeles, and many people are full of love and curiosity about movies, even the usually serious-looking police officers, and many people signed up for the evening shooting.

After determining the time for shooting, Tang Feng hurriedly called Wilton, hoping that he could prepare the required equipment as soon as possible, and of course all the expenses would be calculated on him.

Then he contacted George and asked him to rush to the Eastern Police Station as soon as possible, as the protagonist of this major event, he must not only familiarize himself with the filming location in advance, but also make some necessary preparations.

Yesterday, Tang Feng left him a script when he was leaving, and he believed that as an old actor, he should have read the script in his hand a long time ago, and had a certain understanding of the role he played.

George was very happy to play such a role, and he not only promised to do his best to play the role, but also gave Tang Feng a very low price, only 3,000 US dollars.

Tang Feng can also understand George's reaction, so although he is not a professional actor in the strict sense, Tang Feng also decided to let him play this killer.

A person who can only perform in a group for several years can play such a role in a movie, which is already a very big breakthrough, and Tang Feng is willing to give him this opportunity.

After solving the problem of actors, Tang Feng drove a police car to Wilton's company under the diligent escort of several retired police officers.

Not only did he have to retrieve the professional equipment he needed, but he also asked Wilton to help introduce a prop studio and make a complete model of the Eastern Police Department, which of course was used in the final stages of filming the explosion scenes.

When they met again, Wilton seemed a lot warmer, patted Tang Feng's shoulder affectionately and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be very old, and you are really vigorous and resolute in doing things, you just finished talking yesterday, and you will start filming today." ”

Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself: "No way, I'm ready to fly, I have to send it." ”

After speaking, he introduced a few accompanying police officers, "Wilton, let me introduce you to a few police officers." This is Cook, this is Brand, and the next few are ......"

"They were supposed to take turns in the afternoon, but I pulled them over to make a movie, and now I want to take the equipment you prepared for me, after all, filming will start in the evening. ”

Wilton greeted a few police officers with a smile and said jokingly: "It seems that Hunter has found a very good side hustle for his police officers, maybe you can have a movie star or something in your police department, haha." ”

Tang Feng smiled and didn't speak, while Brand joked: "Whether you can be a movie star or not depends on Sean, who is now our commander-in-chief." ”

Cook also said with some emotion: "Ten days ago, Brand and I also made a transcript for Sean. At that time, he was so weak that he could barely say a few words, but he didn't expect that now he is fully recovered, and he still takes us to make a movie together, which is amazing. ”

Cook and Brand were the police officers who made the transcript for Tang Feng at the beginning, perhaps because they had a relationship, and the two of them were the first to sign up for filming.

Although they are a few years older than Tang Feng, they are both young people and they are very easy to get along with, and because of Hunter and Anne, they dare not underestimate Tang Feng, and they have long been familiar with Tang Feng along the way.

After the greetings, Wilton took out the two contracts that had just been printed and handed them to Tang Feng, "Sean, this is the contract that has just been printed, according to yesterday's agreement, I can provide you with the equipment and necessary help you need now." ”

"But if you don't shoot something that meets my requirements, our agreement will be null and void, and you'll have to pay off all the fees within a year. If you don't have any objections, you can sign your name now. ”

Tang Feng carefully read the terms of the contract and said, "Mr. Wilton, no matter what, I want to thank you for your help. ”

"I've read all the terms and conditions and I can sign the contract now, just wait for your lawyer to come. ”

To sign such a contract, there will usually be a lawyer present, and Tang Feng should have hired a lawyer, but his current situation does not allow it, so he gave up such a right.

Wilton put his right hand into the placket of his chest, and then said with a smile: "We don't need a lawyer between us, I believe in your character, and this is not a formal contract, at most it can only be regarded as a gentleman's agreement between you and me." ”

Seeing that Tang Feng was a little confused, he explained: "After your sample film is filmed, we will sign a real contract." ”

Tang Feng was indeed very puzzled, "This guy still looked like a gentleman yesterday, why is it like a completely different person today, is it because he read the script?"

He automatically made up an answer and didn't think much about it, picked up the pen and signed his name and date, even his social security number was written on it, and then handed the contract to Wilton, and said, "Okay, Wilton, let's go see your baby now, I can't wait, haha." ”

Although Wilton seems to be enthusiastic on the surface, he has actually been observing Tang Feng, and his evaluation of him has been changing.

At first, he thought that Tang Feng was just a restrained young man, but after yesterday's misunderstanding, he found that the young man in front of him was not as simple as he thought. Not to mention whether his guess was correct, it was enough to impress him with his sophistication and maturity in bargaining with himself.

And now, looking at the attitude of these police officers towards him, he knows that he has been recognized by the police officers, and it seems that the relationship between them is still very good, which makes him value Tang Feng as a young man even more.

He knows that the group of unruly guys under Hunter can say that they are dedicated, but to say that they are amiable is simply a fantasy, not to mention that Tang Feng is still Chinese!

Wilton took the contract handed over by Tang Feng, and suddenly his heart moved, and then said with a smile: "If it's convenient, can I participate in the evening shooting?"

"I'm really curious how you manage your set. As far as I know, you don't have a producer, you don't have a cameraman, you don't even have a professional crew of drama, makeup artists, lighting, etc., do you want to do all the work yourself?"

Of course, Tang Feng would not refuse, and immediately agreed to Wilton's request, "No problem, but the shooting time may be a little later, and it is also likely to be after the early hours of the morning." ”

Then he asked, "By the way, Mr. Wilton, is there a prop studio nearby?" I need to customize a large model prop. ”

This time Tang Feng asked the point, don't look at Wilton's age, but he is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, he has just acquired a prop studio, and intends to open up a new business.

I saw him say with a little smugness: "Aha, didn't Hunt tell you? I just acquired a prop studio, so I'll take you to pick up the equipment first, and then let's go to my whimsy studio together, if you have any requirements, just tell them." ”

They chatted happily, but several of the officers were already waiting a little impatiently, and Cook's coffee was refilled twice, and when he saw that they were finally about to get down to business, they immediately got up and rubbed their fists and prepared to work.

Tang Feng needed a lot of things, not only four cameras, and more than ten meters of rails, but also a variety of spotlights, light collector boards, sound microphones and so on no less than a dozen kinds of equipment.

Wilton generously let him choose by himself, and he gave a detailed introduction on the side, which ones were relatively new, which ones were more complete, etc., and soon the police car brought by Tang Feng was full.

After sending Cook away, Tang Feng and he went to the "Whimsy" prop studio to discuss the props.

He didn't say goodbye to Wilson until just before he left work in the afternoon, and returned to the police station with a few large bags of props. For the sake of safety, Tang Feng decided to use them to shoot after seeing the prop guns made in the studio, after all, everyone is not insured, so it will be much safer.

Sitting alone in the taxi, Tang Feng was not excited to show his skills, but was a little tired and regretful.

"I'm really tired!"

"It seems that there is no producer, no drama, no prop master, it really can't work. ”

"Isn't this what a director should do? Isn't the director supposed to be a majestic conductor on the set, at most he is playing majestic with the actors, or arguing with the producer to adjust the atmosphere. ”

"I really regret not bringing Charlie, isn't he going to be a producer, and these things will be handed over to him in the future!"

"Well, when I get to the police station, I call home and ask him to come and help me. ”

After returning to the police station, Tang Feng hung up the phone to Charlie, but he didn't expect William to come with him, saying that he wanted to make a cameo appearance as a photographer, Tang Feng naturally welcomed it very much, he was Charlie's enlightenment teacher.

Seeing that it was still early, they had dinner in the police station's cafeteria, and they were dining with them, as well as the police officers who were going to participate in the filming in the evening.

After a warm dinner, Tang Feng led everyone to set up the set in the detention room. Wilton also rushed to the police station to work with him, don't look at him just doing equipment rental, but he is very clear about the way on the set, which saves Tang Feng a lot of things.

In order to cooperate with his filming, Hunter personally ordered the transfer of all the suspects in custody, and all the police officers involved in the filming also prepared their own costumes. As for the makeup artist, there is none, according to Tang Feng, it is necessary to shoot the original.

The police officers had already prepared according to Tang Feng's requirements and camps, and the prop guns and empty cartridges brought back from the "Wonderful Ideas" studio were also distributed to the people of the two camps.

Seeing that "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", Tang Feng's mood also rose instantly: "Ten days ago, I came to this world with nothing. ”

"But now, I, I'm going to work a miracle!"
