The next day, two of Rawrie's friends arrived in Illinois on the earliest flight, and Laurie probably drove to the airport early to pick them up in order to show his sincerity, and at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Laurie brought his two friends to the crew.

When the three of them came to the room where Huo Que lived, which was also his temporary office, he was immersed in writing the script.

Laurie first introduced Huo Que to his friends, when they saw that the director was so young, they were also a little surprised, but they didn't show anything, in fact, on the way to come, Laurie had already given them a detailed introduction to Huo Que's information, and they were surprised that Huo Que was younger than they imagined.

In fact, the two have already heard of Huo Que's name, because "This Man is from the Earth" is now fermenting on the Internet, but the two of them didn't pay attention to it.

The photographer's name is Jace. Andrew, who should be the oldest of the three of them, has a burly figure and a beard, but he looks a little shy, and he always talks with a smile and feels very kind.

The sound engineer is called Cello. George, a black man, is thin, but he gives people a feeling of leanness.

"Welcome both of you." Huo Que stood up and shook hands with the two of them one by one, and said: "I know all of your situations, in fact, the so-called science class is just a piece of paper, but what I want is a person's ability." ”

Jace and Cello glanced at each other, and an incomparably bright smile immediately appeared on their faces, just for that piece of paper, they didn't know how many crews were turned away.

"Thank you!" Jace bowed slightly, and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you for your trust, I believe that our ability can match your trust." ”

"Yes, we will definitely work with all our might." Chelo said: "It's just that the biggest service we used to serve was weddings, and we have never worked in the film crew, if there is anything that is not in place, I hope Mr. Huo will give me more advice." ”

"It's all the same, the wedding is a live broadcast and you can all do so well, I believe you can make a better movie."

People never know how much potential they have when they haven't reached the limit, so Huo Que wants to give these two the most room to play, if he has to take care of everything, this will definitely affect their performance.

…………

In order to save time, the whole crew started working in the afternoon.

Obviously, filming "Home Alone" is different from filming "This Man is from Earth", the filming techniques are different, the shooting equipment is different, and many aspects are different.

When filming "This Man is from Earth", the camera used was digital, because there were not many lenses, and it was easy to make it, and Huo Que did not have the capital to use a film camera. You know, if you shoot a movie with a film camera, the cost of the director starts to increase little by little with the passage of time from the second after the director shouts the start.

But filming "Home Alone" is different, from the idea to the scale of this movie is a commercial film, so Huo Que has to take into account the picture quality of the whole movie, so he must choose a film camera.

There is more than one camera on set, because some scenes have several shots, such as top-down, side-by-side, and front-on. Before you start shooting, you need to design the position of the camera and the direction of the shot.

The first scene is the main character, Kevin. McAllister first tried his free hand after his parents left, sliding his sled down his stairs onto the snow.

There are several camera transitions in this scene, so it is more difficult to shoot.

Huo Que is talking to Jace for the first time. Andrew cooperated, so he talked to him about the shots and feelings he needed from beginning to end.

Jace immediately understood, and then led the camera team to put the camera in various directions one by one according to his intentions, and then debugged, in this process, he should be considered the busiest, not to mention climbing up and down, sometimes in order to achieve the effect, he also needs to kneel on the ground when debugging the position, or prostrate on the ground.

There are not many people in the makeup team, because this scene is a modern play, the protagonist is still a child, what they need is to match his clothes, according to Huo Que, when Abel appears on the screen, the audience's first impression is cute.

With Huo Que's instructions, the makeup team quickly set up an outfit with Able, a woolen hat printed with a red fawn, a red scarf, and a heavy down jacket. When Huo Que saw Abel, the first impression really had an effect, it was very cute...... After all, he is also cute.

Huo Que walked to Abel's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If your parents leave you alone at home, and no one comes to restrain you and control you, then what do you think of your life?" ”

Huo Que said this to let Abel into the play, today's children are more rebellious, and most children have a certain resistance to their parents' discipline, so Abel should also look forward to living a life without being controlled by his parents.

Able tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his hands and said excitedly: "It should be a more exciting time for me than on the weekend, I will eat a lot of snacks, if it is winter I will go ice skating, if it is summer I will go swimming." Most importantly, I'm going to put all my homework behind and play around the room with my stuffed raccoon in my arms. Do you know? ”

Able looked at Huo Que with a sad face, and said in frustration: "I have a lot of toys, but unfortunately, my parents only gave me very little time to spend with them, I feel sorry for them, if I couldn't play with them, they shouldn't have bought them for me in the first place." ”

Huo Que smiled knowingly, Abel's complaint fully exposed his playful nature.

"Then I'll give you this chance." Huo Que was like a bad guy who instigated juvenile crimes, and said mysteriously to Abel: "In the process of acting, don't think of this as work or acting, but a game, so many of us play a game with you, okay?" ”

For Able to make the most of his acting skills, his talent alone is not enough, if he really treats making movies as a game, then his performance will be very outstanding.

Able touched his chin with his hand, as if thinking about something, and after a while he asked, "Do you mean to laugh when I want to laugh and scream when I want to?" ”

"Of course." Huo Que happily replied: "You can express your inner excitement as much as you want, I won't care about you." ”

"Oh, thank you." Able winked at the "bad guy" who "instigated" him to play, and had a look of complete understanding: "I will definitely make good use of this vacation." ”

"Yes." Huo Que nodded in agreement: "There are not many opportunities like this." ”

All the scenes have been set up, and the next step is to start shooting.

In order to achieve the effect and reach a certain tacit understanding with all the staff in the crew, Huo Que only arranged one scene in the whole afternoon.

As a person who wants to regard film as his life's work, a scene may have to be filmed for a day, or even longer, because as long as there is a trace of dissatisfaction, it will be remade, which is a responsibility to the film and a kind of respect for the audience.

Huo Que is such a person, of course, he also hopes that no matter what scene it is, it will be a one-time experience, because that is the most natural and pure performance.

There are many directors who have high requirements and even reach the demanding level of film shooting, and the most famous is the genius director James on the planet. Cameron, on the set he was called a tyrant, in life he was an irresponsible husband, but in the movies, he was God.

On the global box office list of the earth, the first and second are occupied by his two films, the first place "Avatar" has a global box office of 2.7 billion US dollars, and the second place "Titanic" has a global box office plus 3D re-release of 2.1 billion US dollars.

He is a former truck driver, and now he dares to shout "I am the king of the world" at the Oscars to the world's audience.

In addition to his extraordinary talent, the most important thing that he has been able to achieve is that he is meticulous about films.

During the filming of "Titanic", in order to restore the prototype of the Titanic as much as possible, he spent 100 days building a model that was only 10% smaller than the real Titanic. The original budget was only 100 million US dollars, but in order to pursue perfection, he successively asked 20th Century Fox to invest 140 million US dollars, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go before the filming was completed, so he brought another company, Paramount, in and invested another 60 million in him.

However, without his stubbornness, his persistence, and his serious attitude towards movies, there would be no classic "Titanic" and no "Avatar" that leads the world's film technology.

His films are the most expensive, but also the most profitable.

He was a perfectionist, although he wasn't perfect himself.

Huo Que, who is a two-life person, only knows how high his enthusiasm for movies is, so he also wants to pursue perfection for movies.
