After a while, John announced that HappyTime was over, disbanding the crowd gathered in front of the monitors and letting them each return to their posts.

It's already midnight, and if you don't work harder, I'm afraid the next few sets of shots will not be finished.

This is not a super production with an investment of more than 100 million, and he also made up so much money to squeeze out so much money, so there can't be a second time for a scene like this, and he has to hurry up and complete all the shooting.

Everyone went to prepare for the next set of shots, but John, as the director, was idle, the next shot was very simple, and he didn't need to worry too much, Ke Zihua was very relieved to look at him.

So, he happily made himself a cup of coffee, and then enjoyed the repeated picture on the monitor while sipping the fragrant coffee.

I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, and as a director, he is always under great pressure, and even a quiet cup of coffee is a luxury.

Not long after John sat down, he saw Ke Zihua enter the studio, John reluctantly moved his eyes off the monitor, looked up at him, and asked, "Ke, is there something wrong?" ”

Ke Zihua hesitated for a moment, and then said to him: "John, I'm afraid you're going to increase the budget again."

John was immediately stimulated by his words!

"Poof", I squirted out all the coffee I just drank in my mouth, and almost missed the screen in front of me.

"What? Ke, you're not kidding, are you? ”

Ke Zihua didn't expect him to react so strongly, explaining: "I know this will embarrass you, but I think you can listen to me." ”

"Okay, you can say it."

got permission, Ke Zihua said the reason for the incident: "John, that's the case, isn't our next shot going to shoot a truck crash?" I suddenly had a great idea, but I need your support to make it happen. ”

John looked at him vigilantly, he was really afraid that Ke Zihua would do something again, and the situation just now scared him enough, "What do you think?" ”

Ke Zihua saw that John's expression was a little strange, so he spread his arms and smiled bitterly: "Hey, John, look at what kind of expression you have?" Am I going to cheat you? ”

John also smiled bitterly and said, "It's not all scared by you, I'm really afraid that you want to do any more dangerous actions." ”

"As long as it works well together, there will be no danger, and I can guarantee that this set of shots will never be worse than the overturned one!"

John's eyes lit up when he heard this, if that was the case, he would like to listen carefully, if there is another set of beautiful crash shots, I don't know how many viewers will be shocked, maybe his film can win awards for it.

Seeing that he was aroused, Ke Zihua continued: "Don't you see that our last shot overturned? So in the order of playback, the next shot should be this crash shot, right? ”

John nodded, reminded, "yes, and it's going to start filming soon, you know it's just a simple stunt." ”

Ke Zihua knew that it was difficult to convince him in ordinary ways now, so he smashed his mouth and looked into his eyes with a provocative gaze, "Tsk, tsk." ”

"A classic rollover shot, followed by a dispensable crash?"

John was unimpressed, and pouted indifferently: "You mean to change it to your new idea?" ”

"Haha, Ke, don't think about it, I won't promise you anyway, I'm not the kind of director who tries his best to squeeze actors for his own movies."

Then he emphasized to Ke Zihua: "Even if you want to, that's not good!" You're still too young, now is not the time to be impulsive, I have to be responsible for you! ”

John said righteously, while Ke Zihua was very moved to hear it, sincerely thanked John, but said his thoughts more firmly.

It's not that Ke Zihua is impulsive, in fact, he has long passed the age of impulsiveness, although he looks very young

If he wanted to be impulsive, as early as the first time he was threatened by Luo Tianya, he should have taught this shameless villain a hard lesson, and now Ke Zihua remembered that he was pitted, and he couldn't wait to give him a few big mouths.

But he had to consider the consequences of doing that, not to mention that he didn't know at that time, Luo Tianya had a huge force behind him, and he couldn't deal with the people in the house who coerced Su Luo with guns.

Bullshit has no capital, or when his friends are coerced, what capital does he have to be happy and revenge?

The person who dares to do this is either a special psychopath, or a cold-blooded animal with no humanity!

Just like now, he made his decision after carefully weighing the pros and cons, and he really wanted to shoot this set of shots more perfectly, so he made such a request with John.

In fact, as he said, the front shot is already very beautiful, and if a mediocre shot appears immediately after, not only will it not make any sense, but it will also affect the audience's good mood.

Then, the best option is to cut off the back shot, or shoot him better, at least not to form a huge contrast with the previous shot!

What can be done to achieve this?

Ke Zihua already had a mature idea, but he needed John to stand on his side again and support him unreservedly.

With Ke Zihua's explanation, John also formed a rough outline in his mind, "Ke, you mean to do your best to shoot the back shots, and then merge the two sub-shots into one long shot?" ”

Seeing that he finally understood his thoughts, Ke Zihua snapped his fingers happily and praised: "You are so smart, that's what I mean." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to pat yourself on the back first, tell me first, how much budget will you need to increase?"

Ke Zihua shook his head and thought for a while, and replied: "I definitely can't shoot it today, because we have to communicate with the fire department, if they don't agree, we can't shoot this shot, so we can only cut it." ”

"Why do you want them to agree?"

"Didn't you notice the fire combiner on the sidewalk? Is it the iron pillar more than a meter high that stands at the corner of the street? ”

"Oh my God, you're not going to hit it, are you? This is not a good idea, and it has been used in many movies. ”

Ke Zihua shrugged his shoulders and continued to cheer John: "John, believe me, this time is definitely different from what you have seen. ”

John nodded, "Go ahead, I've made a note of that." ”

Ke Zihua smiled and continued: "The aerial film crew will be rented for at least three to five hours; You rented the truck for nothing today, and you will have to rent it again next time. ”

"For the camera team on the ground, it's enough to leave two, but the large rocker arm they use still needs to be rented, and I'd better build a high-speed camera system, which should be able to shoot better results."

"By the way, in addition to getting the approval of the fire department, you also need to hire their engineers to restore the original state as soon as the shooting is completed."

"In the end, I needed a specially modified car, and this time I personally communicated with the mechanic to make sure it was foolproof."

Ke Zihua found that every time he said something, John's face would have an extra cloud of sadness. Later, he was embarrassed to speak so confidently, and his voice became quieter and quieter.

"Whew!"

John let out a long breath and said to Ke Zihua with a painful expression: "Do you know how much investment I need to increase in order to meet your requirements?" At least another $300,000! ”

"At the beginning, I thought that the investment of 10 million yuan would make the whole filming process very comfortable, but I didn't expect that after the requirements of all aspects were raised by one notch, it still seemed to be stretched."

"Especially when I added a few more insurance items to the crew, and then there was a big scene tonight, if I want to squeeze out another 300,000 Canadian dollars, I'm afraid it will affect the filming later."

Ke Zihua saw that he was still hesitant, so he had to use the last killer move: "Hey, man, don't worry about money, imagine that if we can really accomplish this feat, maybe you will see the little golden man waving to you." ”

This trick really worked, John was immediately aroused, both eyes were shining so bright that they could spark, slammed the table, gritted his back molars and shouted, "That's it!" Big deal, I'm cheeky enough to apply for some investments! ”

Ke Zihua slapped his face excitedly, "You will definitely not regret it!" ”

After the impulse, John quickly calmed down again and asked, "In this case, I can only shoot again next week, so why not shoot today?" ”

"Don't! We can take pictures of the street scene first, especially the police cars and drug dealers' stolen cars on the street, and we won't need them next time, but we have to have them as a background. ”

John nodded, "Then let them shoot, let's take a closer look at your plan." ”

Ke Zihua immediately said: "Give them a time limit, it must be filmed within an hour, and then it's time to shoot the last scene of the two cars rolling, and the rest of the time you can shoot the end before dawn." ”

"Okay, just do as you say, then divide into two groups, one group of people will shoot the background, and the rest will prepare for the final scene."

Although the actors were surprised by John's order, they did not question anything, except for the first camera crew, who was assigned to shoot the background, everyone else was busy preparing for the next shot.

Samuel and Jeffrey and others were told that they would shoot other scenes after filming the next set of shots. And everyone got the corresponding script and hid in the corner to familiarize themselves with the script.

After discussing with John, Ke Zihua walked out of the studio, looked at the busy crowd under the lights, and said to himself: "John, thank you for your trust." Wait, I'll be sure to give you a perfect shot! ”
