The next day, Huo Que divided the filming into two groups, one group was led by him, and then filmed the protagonist's scenes, while the other group was led by assistant director Laurie to shoot all the scenes of Old Man Ma.

Of course, Huo Que did this with a purpose, he wanted to see the talent of director Laurie.

Old man Ma appears in this movie as two characters, first, the old man who is kind and not good at expressing himself, and second, he is considered by the protagonist to be a murderer.

In fact, when he did not meet the protagonist in the church, the director deliberately looked like a murderer, both in his appearance and in the environment when he appeared, which helped the development of the plot of the movie and made the audience unpredictable.

The reason why Huo Que asked Laurie to shoot this scene is because he likes horror movies and wants to make horror movies, if he can't even shoot this scene, then how dare Huo Que invest in him?

And it is normal for the crew to film in groups, saving money, time and effort.

Just like Gary Ross, the director of "The Hunger Games", he enlisted his good friend, Steven Soderbergh, the director of "Twelve Angry Men", to help him film. It only took Soderbergh a month to get the entire film's action sequences done.

Since Huo Que handed over the guide tube to Laurie, then he didn't want to point fingers at him and let him play to his heart's content, maybe the effect he shot would give him a surprise, if the effect he shot was not what Huo Que wanted, then he would shoot it again, after all, there are not many scenes, and the big deal is to spend more money.

If you can dig up a genius, what is the point of spending some money?

Today's filming is the scene where the protagonist goes to find Santa Claus, which was filmed in this small town, and in order to reflect the Christmas atmosphere, this scene took three days just to set up.

And the actor of the young Santa Claus that the protagonist meets is Huo Que who specializes in making Bella. Owen was "airlifted" from the Actors Guild, and it can be regarded as spending "blood money", although this young man does not have many roles, but he has certain requirements for acting skills, Santa Claus who is hanging and is a child, Santa Claus who smokes in front of children, and it is obviously ineffective to find someone to play it.

When Huo Que interviewed him, he interviewed him on video, and all of them met the requirements, including the salary.

As soon as he was ready, Huo Que gave a big order to start filming.

Then the staff of the various groups also took action. There are many lines and close-ups in this scene, so the actors' facial expressions are very important, but Huo Que found the problem as soon as the movie started, but he didn't stop immediately.

Because the problem is Abel who has always made him worry-free, this scene wants to express his child's heart, although he thinks that he can live without the care of his parents is to grow, but the sentence "I know you are not Santa Claus, you are Santa Claus's assistant" will undoubtedly reveal his child's heart.

However, when Abel is acting in this scene, his facial expression is very stiff, and he looks very wooden in front of the close-up, completely losing the kind of freewheeling and naturalness that he had before.

"Stop!"

I thought that Able had just not entered the play yet, but when the play was halfway through, his expression still did not change at all, and with Huo Que's understanding of Abel, he should have been in a mood that had been affected. He acted well and acted well before because Huo Que guided him to act with a playful mentality, but now he obviously didn't maintain that mentality, as if he was perfunctory.

Huo Que wanted to talk to Able and enlighten him, but found that at the moment when he shouted to stop, Able's face showed a slight hint of impatience.

This is something that has never happened before, maybe Huo Que is not very old, so Abel likes Huo Que very much in and out of the play, and the cooperation between the two has always been very pleasant.

Huo Que walked to Ebel's side, looked at him with a displeased face and asked softly, "Are you unhappy?" ”

"Yes!" Able lowered his head and fiddled with the scarf around his neck.

"If I'm unhappy, someone must have messed with me, I don't know why you're unhappy?" Huo Que sat on the chair next to Abel, looked at him and asked, "Can you sue me why?" Maybe I can help you. ”

"You can't help me." Able sighed, and his lovely face showed a worry that he shouldn't have seen at his age, and he also found a place to sit down, looked at the colorful snow, and muttered, "You know what, I'm tired. ”

"Ahh

Huo Que was slightly surprised, how could a seven or eight-year-old child give birth to such an unprovoked emotion?

"Is it because of filming?" Huo Que asked tentatively. is not afraid of delaying the filming time, if there is a problem with the mentality of the leading actor, the movie will have problems no matter how hard he cares, so his main job now is to adjust the mentality of the protagonist first.

"It's not." Abel shook his head: "Filming is a very happy thing, I like you very much, and I also like the brothers and sisters in the crew." ”

"Oh!" Huo Que touched his head, with a look of doubt. Although he had experienced it at his age, it had been too long, and the only thing he could remember was some of the joys of childhood. If you want to say that you are tired, it is a mountain of homework, but this situation is different, Huo Que has experienced exam-oriented education, doing homework is to cope with exams, studying is to cope with exams, and the teacher's parents chase him every day to catch him up for exams, so he is tired.

American-style education is completely different, and homework is available, but it is rare.

So what is Abel bothering about? Is it also related to studying, although he is filming now, but he is also tutored.

"Is it because of study?" Huo Que tried again.

Abel glanced back at Huo Que with "resentment", and the worry on his face seemed to be a little heavier: "Am I studying with you when I'm filming?" I'm only nine years old now, and I'm sure I'll still be an actor when I'm nineteen, maybe I'll be an actor all my life, so why do my parents let teachers teach me something I don't like every day? ”

Huo Que breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he found the problem, then the matter would be much easier to solve.

"Even an actor needs to understand a lot of things, for example, one day you are no longer playing a child, but a philosopher or a scientist, and you don't know how to act without knowing anything?" Huo Que showed his ability to fool and seduced the poor boy again.

Abel shook his head, "I know there are some things I have to learn, but you know what? Yesterday I filmed until ten o'clock in the evening, I was already very tired and wanted to take a bath and sleep, but my parents insisted that I study for two hours before going to sleep, I am still a child, I don't want this kind of life, they want me to study just let me study, if they want me to film, I will film well, why do two things have to be done together? ”

Speaking of the latter, Abel choked up in his tone: "They are adults but they rest every day, but I am really tired of letting my child earn money to support them." ”

"Poof!" Huo Que didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"Do you think I'm not right?" Able looked at Huo Que with reddened eyes and some dissatisfaction.

Huo Que straightened his face and said: "I understand, but your parents are for your good, so let's talk to your parents and ask them not to let you sleep so late." ”

"Really?" Able looked at Huo Que expectantly, as if he had seen a savior.

"Really." Huo Que patted him on the shoulder and stood up: "I think they will agree with me." ”

"What do you think?" Abel asked, puzzled.

"You're still a kid, you can't let your life be too tiring." Huo Que smiled, and then walked away.

Huo Que could understand Abel's thoughts, although he said that it was too much to let him earn money for a child to support his family, but there was really no need for him to bear such a heavy lifestyle at such a young age.

Huo Que also understands the thoughts of Abel's parents, no matter which country or world they are in, their parents will always hope that their son will become a dragon and their daughter will become a phoenix, and they let Abel film just to pave a road for him in advance, but in case Abel can't go far on this road, so they are unwilling to let him put all his energy into filming.

Abole's parents will accompany Abel as long as he has a play, and Huo Que found Abole's father on the side, a middle-aged man with a kind face but a bright look of wisdom.

"Mr. Huo, are you out?" Chels. Angus was not a little surprised to see Huo Que suddenly coming to him, but then he guessed the reason why he was looking for him.

"Mr. Angus." Huo Que pointed to a big tree next to him and said, "Can I talk to you?" ”

Chels nodded: "Of course, is it because of Abel?" ”

"Yes." Huo Que replied without hesitation: "There is something wrong with his mentality. ”

"Oh!" Chels nodded, and the two walked under the tree.

"How did you decide to make Abel an actor?" Huo Que didn't say half a polite word, and went straight to the point.

"You know." Chels said without thinking: "This profession should be the dream of many people right now, because he is glamorous, and he can be famous and profitable." The opportunity to become a star in our life is basically gone, but we have the next generation, Abel has been smart and cute since he was a child, I signed up for him when an advertising agency recruited a young actor, in fact, my choice was right, Abel easily defeated thousands of competitors and got the endorsement of that advertisement. ”

Saying this, Chels's face revealed pride and pride.

"Then have you already arranged his future path?" Huo Que asked again.

Chels glanced at Huo Que thoughtfully, and replied: "He likes filming very much, and we have been consulting him, I think if nothing else, he will be able to become a good actor in the future." ”

"He said he was tired." Huo Que looked at Chels's eyes and said seriously: "Today he is very out of state, we talked for a while and found the problem, I think the reason for his absence is because of you and your lover's fault." ”
