Seeing that Waynes had a very good attitude and was not unhappy because he shouted "cut" more than a dozen times, Cheng Xiaoyu continued: "Hey! Waynes, you have to be careful to speak in a tone that is 'mean'......"

"Okay, director, I understand........." Waynes shook his head coquettishly, black people always have a lot of desire and talent for acting, his tone changed slightly, and he said to Cheng Xiaoyu with mockery: "Is that so?" Something mean! ”

"Hey! That's how it feels! Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and continued: "There is also this feeling, you have to run through the whole performance." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Waynes shrugged his shoulders and defended himself: "Director, to be honest, I have been CUT just now because I am still a little uncomfortable....... I didn't know your horror movie would be shot like this, and I was a little surprised....... I'm going to win an Oscar, trust me...... I'm going to surprise you......"

Cheng Xiaoyu patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I hope so......" Then he turned his head to Hank, one of the male leads, and Nancy, the female lead, and said: "In the same way, my request to you is that the performance should not be too exaggerated, and it should be just right serious......... When Hank speaks, his facial expressions should not be too big, as if he was making a normal movie......."

The two white lead actors also nodded in understanding.

"Let's see how you do this time." Cheng Xiaoyu walked back to the camera while applauding, shouting to everyone: "Ready to start!" ”

Soon, the set was once again in the state of filming.

This is a literary drama, mainly a dialogue, the content is a scene of three people falling in love and killing each other in the kitchen, if the three actors do not enter the state, it will easily become a farce, but because it is not filmed in the order of the script, and it is the first day of shooting, it can't give them more time to enter the play, which can be regarded as a test of the acting skills of these people.

For Cheng Xiaoyu, there are many ways to shoot this kind of multi-person talk scene, such as switching the close-up of the two people back and forth on TV, interspersed with several multi-person shots, which is the easiest, those shots can even be completed on different working days, and the audience will not know about the actor performing in the air when shooting the close-up.

And breaking this scene into multiple multi-person shots with different angles and movement is also a kind of way, so that it is easier to shoot and perform, that is, to divide the work into small pieces, and then solve them piece by piece, just be careful not to cross the axis.

But this is a long set of shots, and there are relatively lengthy dialogues, so the shooting is still very much a test of Cheng Xiaoyu's ability to test the scene scheduling, such as the switching of personnel screens, shooting angles, shooting focus, etc.

In fact, it's okay to shoot simply without using complicated scheduling, but it will look a little boring, like a home DV video, but this is not enough to express the plot, this is an interesting and dramatic well-designed dialogue, so it is quite necessary to shoot like this.

This set of shots also tests the actors' line skills, just expressing more than a dozen lines in one breath with appropriate emotions and expressions, there are problems in memory and pronunciation, and in Huaxia, some undedicated actors even have to look at the teleprompter when acting, or simply talk nonsense and wait for the later dubbing.......

In addition, it is necessary to test the changes in the actors' performances, because everyone in this line must show multiple mental states, and there are multiple levels in one shot, even if it is a powerful actor, it will be a headache, not to mention these comedians who are not yet famous.

Because it is indoors, they did not lay a track in this scene, in addition to Chang Cheng using a shoulder-mounted camera and shooting at close range, he also took multi-camera shooting, Cheng Xiaoyu planned to rely on post-editing to make up for the shortcomings, the three leading actors stood in a triangle, but the two male characters stood closer.

Cheng Xiaoyu took a few deep breaths, and then shouted, "action!" ”

"Start recording." David also took command, and everyone around them was silent, waiting to see if the performance would satisfy the young director.

"Forty-one, seventh, seventeenth." As the scene notes slapped down the slapstick and made a "pop" sound, the performance of the three leading actors began again.

Waynes took a prop and said to Nancy with a fake sense of humor, "It's a surprise...... Cindy ......"

Nancy pushed Waynes away and ran quickly to the kitchen, but was blocked by the two of them, and she asked with tears in her voice, "Why did you do that?" ”

"Why?" Hank laughed rather ghostly and then shouted, "Why? He turned to look at Waynes and said with a smile, "She wants a motive?" ”

............

"It's over!" This time, Cheng Xiaoyu did not shout "CUT", and after Cheng Xiaoyu made a request to them, several leading actors still completed the task quite well.

The next shot is much easier to perform, and it is not too difficult for Cheng Xiaoyu to shoot, after a little mention, the shot that was originally planned to shoot for half a day was completed in about two hours, and it must be said that the professionalism of the Americans after entering the work is still very high, unlike Huaxia, the general crew does not wait for two or three hours, and it is impossible for the personnel to arrive.

Because there was still some time before lunch, Cheng Xiaoyu took a few close-ups and inserts of rich materials.

........

Time keeps moving forward, after finishing all the filming inside and outside the villa, they will move to Columbia College for filming, on this day Cheng Xiaoyu gave all the crew a holiday, and they were able to spend a leisurely day in this beautiful suburb...... This is a good thing for all actors.......

David planned to take Cheng Xiaoyu to experience authentic farm life, so he took Cheng Xiaoyu and Sun Jingyao to a nearby farm early in the morning, and this farmer was David's cousin.

David Cheng Xiaoyu milked the cow, and then asked Cheng Xiaoyu vigorously if he liked to drink the fresh milk that had just been milked from the cowshed.

Cheng Xiaoyu tasted it, it seemed to have a bit of grass taste, and he couldn't help praising the sweetness in his mouth, and he slowly tasted it from the French. The actress Nancy added some black coffee that Cheng Xiaoyu loves to drink from the Cajun (French-born and British, Spanish, and African-American), so that Cheng Xiaoyu immediately recalled the black coffee he drank in the small coffee shop opposite Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.

Unfortunately, except for the milk and coffee, the rest of the food is manufactured products sold in supermarkets. This made Cheng Xiaoyu quite regretful, and felt that he should find an opportunity to show his hands on Chinese cuisine, so that this group of Yankees knew what food was.

This farm should be a little bigger than Shang Xi. There are several ponds nearby, about fifty or sixty acres each, which were said to have been used to raise pond lice fish, but after the hurricane the year before last, because too much seawater was poured in, the salinity was too high, and they were also abandoned.

David took Cheng Xiaoyu and Sun Jingyao to the pond, pulled up a rope on the ground, and pulled up a net in the pond along the rope, and several pond lice fish in the net were poured into a bucket by him, and he smiled at Cheng Xiaoyu: "Haha, so we can make Ning Meng by grilled fish fillet" David said proudly.

The fish in this pond have become "wild fish", fending for themselves, but they are still readily available. The electric aerator on the edge of the pond lay in a daze, and I don't know how to start it again that day.

David told Cheng Xiaoyu and Sun Jingyao that in fact, the salt content of the pond was not enough to raise fish, but because the pond lice imported from China and Vietnam were 70 percent cheaper than those raised in the United States, his cousin's family could no longer compete with the cost of the price, so they gave up fish farming like most individual fish farmers in the United States and lived on government compensation.

The three of them continued to drive the off-road road to the sugarcane field, where 2,400 acres of sugarcane fell in disorder, and new sugarcane seedlings sprouted from the sugarcane roots, like lush barren grass, as far as the eye could see. Cheng Xiaoyu and David got out of the car and turned around a few times, came to a small boat, and slowly drove down a ditch to the depths of the sugar cane field, and the frogs on both sides of the field jumped into the water all the way when they heard the sound.

After a while, David came to a waterhole, pulled a large iron cage from the water, and put a dead chicken in it, "It's a pity that I didn't catch the Alligator", David raised his eyebrows and snorted.

Then he explained to Cheng Xiaoyu and Sun Jingyao: "Since the hurricane flooded the sugarcane fields, the sugarcane cane can't grow into commercial sugarcane, and these 2,400 acres of land have become the subsidy objects of the state government and the federal government, with a monthly subsidy of less than 2,000 US dollars, and taxes have to be deducted. In fact, Dai Wen wanted to go to Hollywood to find a job, and he always told me that he wanted to be an actor, but my uncle and aunt were against it, and finally he had to get engaged to a single mother in the same township, and now he is about to become a stepfather. He does crocodile work every day, which is actually not legal, but he has to use money for marriage and other expenses. ”

Then David scolded while driving the boat: "That guy Oba didn't do a good job, let so many imported fish force us all miserable, and the people in the city clamored every day to protect the crocodiles, the more unlucky we are, the more energetic they become, I don't know if they see us farmers as bitches!" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that having the right to vote doesn't make everyone happy. ”

"Ha, I heard that Indians will give a large dowry when they marry a woman, I knew it would be good to marry an Indian woman," David said with a serious smile at first, thinking of the bank debt he owed and his face became sad again.

(I wish you all a happy holiday in advance)
