Chapter 31: Small Roles
βActionοΌβ
Huo Que gave an order, and then on the monitor in front of him, a little boy dressed fashionably and cutely sat on a sleigh, and then quickly slid down the stairs in front of his house to the snow in the yard, followed by the child with a cheerful scream.
This screen is a professional director's monitor, connected to the camera, with a very high discrimination rate, Huo Que can clearly see the excitement and nervous expression on his face when Abel came down the stairs in the sleigh, which is slightly exaggerated, but the table is just right on a child's face.
"Not bad." Huo Que said secretly in his heart.
In fact, the sleigh is only half shot, and the whole video shows the protagonist sliding down the stairs on the second floor of the room to the yard.
What the viewer sees is a coherent video, but when it is filmed, it is divided into two parts, one indoors and one in the snow, and then the two videos are combined into one in the tongguΓ² editing.
But the part of the sled from inside the house won't be filmed now, and it won't be filmed until I return to Hollywood. Because the venue for the interior scene over there has been arranged, all the scenes in this movie that are going to be filmed in the protagonist's home will be filmed after returning to Hollywood, the purpose of this is to save money and reduce goofs.
"Over!"
Huo Que didn't expect that Abel's acting talent would be so high, maybe it was because Huo Que's enlightenment just now had an effect on him, but anyway, just now he naturally made Huo Que think that he was really enjoying the performance, which had already proved that this kid was an acting genius.
"Is it over?" Able took the sleigh in his hand, opened his confused eyes and said, "I haven't enjoyed it enough, is this the end?" β
"Haha......"
After everyone heard him say such a funny statement, they couldn't help laughing loudly, Huo Que walked up to him and squatted down, gave him a thumbs up and said, "The performance is very good, you are a genius." β
"Genius?" Abel probably didn't have much of an understanding of the term, but he shook his head: "I don't think so, you told me to treat me like a movie like a play, I'm just playing, and even though I have a rope behind my sled, when it slides down the stairs, it's like a roller coaster, and I enjoy it." β
"Forehead" Huo Que touched his head, he was really defeated by this child's innocence, but it was okay, as long as Able could maintain this state ......of mind from beginning to end, it would save him a lot of time.
"We're going to be here for a while, and you have a chance to play." Huo Que patted the snow off his body: "Keep up today's state, come on." β
"Yes!" Abel's eyes widened, as if he was looking forward to his next half a month or so, and suddenly he smiled slightly: "It's better to have more thrills like this, it's a great feeling." β
Huo Que was speechless, you really think filming is a joke, do you know how many dollars you have to spend in this short ten-second shot? That's certainly many, many times more expensive than if you went to Disney and did a roller coaster.
However, Huo Que didn't say this, if this ghostly Able knew that the only way to play a few more times was to not act well, then Huo Que would cry in the future.
Huo Que has already made up his mind to be a demanding director, but today's Abel acting skills make him impeccable, if the kind of state of mind that is so natural that he has to make movies as a game has to be remade, then it can only be said that Huo Que may be too rich, and it will be uncomfortable if he doesn't waste a little.
It's more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still very early, but Huo Que has already said that there will be a scene today, and that is a play. gave the people involved in the filming a holiday, Huo Que returned to the monitor and flipped out the pictures where the various lenses overlapped and watched it.
Very good! This is the conclusion that Huo Que came to in his heart after watching a few shots, of course, to Jace. Andrew's. It seems that Laurie has done him a great favor, and the level of the photographer he found is no worse than the so-called photographer who is well-known in the industry, on the contrary, because his cherishing may be better than many photographers.
After listening to the radio of the scene just now with an earphone, Huo Que nodded, there was no sound of wind whistling from the headset, obviously the recording engineer avoided the microphone from the wind, but the protagonist's screams were extremely clear, even if it was the business of the sleigh crossing the snow, it was very clear, and there was not much noise.
In fact, Huo Que was still a little worried about the cameraman Jace and the sound engineer Cello when the movie started, but now it seems that his worries are superfluous. These two are very capable, but they don't have a platform for him to show them.
Back in his room, Huo Que immediately took out the unfinished script of "The Grim Reaper", and was about to finish writing the last plot when the phone rang.
Seeing the name on the phone, Huo Que felt very happy for no reason, and immediately answered the phone: "Hey, Josie." β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Josie asked in a slightly resentful tone, "Why didn't you call me when you left Los Angeles?" β
"I'm going to call you later."
Huo Que suddenly felt a sense of guilt towards Josie, thinking about the time when he was investing in Hollywood film companies every day last year, she kept cheering him up? When he was hit again and again, and his whole body was almost broken, it was she who comforted him.
And now, he became famous with a movie, but he gave her fewer calls, not because Huo Que was unkind, but because he was really busy during this time. Although he has promised to tailor a movie for Josie himself, it is not that it has not yet been realized.
"I don't blame you." Josie may be lying on the bed or something, holding her breath a little when she spoke, and it sounded faintly seductive: "I have something for you to discuss." β
"What's the matter?" Huo Que asked.
"There was a film crew who asked me to play the second female lead, but I was surprised that I didn't audition." Josie was silent for a moment, then added, "I think it's a little strange, but they said it was because they saw some of my performances at school and came to me." β
Huo Que squinted and thought for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be." β
Huo Que is now considered to be in the industry, he knows how big the competition for the main roles in the movie is, and it cannot be ruled out that some of Josie's performances have impressed the filmmaker, but the probability of this is very small.
If it wasn't because they had Josie's show, then why?
"Could it be ......" Huo Que thought of a possibility: "Do you know the name of the movie you want to participate in?" β
"I don't know." The smart Josie may have felt Huo Que's conjecture, so she took the initiative to say: "I think the person who asked me to participate in the second female lead should be Mark." β
Huo Que smiled bitterly, he thought so too.
"It's very likely." Huo Que said truthfully: "If that's the case, I advise you not to go, of course you are studying acting, and even if you go, you have to sign a formal contract." If Mark really did it, his purpose is just to get closer to you. β
Huo Que really wanted to say that you don't go, but how could you say such a thing? This is Josie's chance, and she has a choice.
"If it's the convenience that Mark gave me, do you want me to go?" When asked, Josie spoke quickly and seemed a little nervous.
"No!"
Huo Que's answer was simple and direct.
After the words were spoken, there was silence on both ends of the phone, and the subtle murmur of the radio waves could be heard clearly.
After a long time, Josie on the other end of the phone said softly: "Do you have a suitable role for me in this movie?" You don't want any special role, just show your face. β
"Yes!"
Huo Que turned his head, there is indeed a role suitable for Josie, the front desk of the London airport. It's just that the role is too small, but it is very suitable for Josie, she is beautiful and temperamental, and it is very suitable to play the beautiful airport front desk of the airport.
"That's fine." Josie smiled sweetly: "I'll reply to that crew tomorrow, I already have a role to play." β
Huo Que was stunned for a moment, and a strange thought came to his mind...... It was his honor to marry this empathetic girl.
"You're welcome to join us."
