The whole scene fell into a strange tranquility, a little depressed, a little anticipated, and a little worried, all waiting for the director's conclusion.

Lance didn't seem to notice the gaze projected on him, just stood silently, recalling every detail of the shot in his mind, and then tried to piece together the finished picture with his brain. His left hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and his thumb slowly rubbed his index finger, the faint feeling of warmth could calm his mind and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

The biggest difference between film and drama lies in the boundary of the stage, for some people, the stage without limits will make the mind like a wild horse, and greed and ambition will completely ruin a work; But for some, the expansive stage becomes a canvas for the imagination, and the imagination becomes a classic.

Closing his eyes, Lance seemed to fly lightly, flying higher and higher, taking in the scenery below, not only the nameless slum they were photographing, not only the city of God not far away, but the whole of Rio de Janeiro, all the scenes were so small but so clear, the blue coastline outlined the thrilling of the city.

The world is so big, yet so small.

The boundaries of the slums confined them to a dark world. It seems that from the moment they were born, their fate has been determined, the lack of knowledge, the limitation of vision, the indulgence of the government, and the silence of the society, in the ears and eyes, step by step substitute them into a reincarnation of the circle of fate, and there is no way to escape.

The bigger, the more reckless, and the more far-reaching the world, the smaller, more difficult, and darker their fate becomes...... The contrast came flooding in.

"Cards!" Lance shouted loudly, which relieved everyone in the crew, but then Lance turned to Hayden not far away and said, "We need to make up a few shots." Albert also walked over quickly, and he needed to be keenly aware of the changes in the crew, "The shot in the robbery part just now, reshot twice, I needed to capture the whole process from different angles. "The ultimate goal is to have more material to make during the editing process, using fast and sharp editing to create a chaotic sense of realism.

Hayden was not surprised, and nodded in the affirmative. But Lance's next words made Hayden a little puzzled, "We need to make up some wide-angle shots, zoom in on the background, and reduce the ...... of the characters" Lance's words didn't end, and Hayden asked, "Panorama or long view?" Lance thought for a moment, "Panorama." ”

But after saying that, Lance shook his head uncertainly, this work is his film debut after all, and it is definitely not an easy task to achieve the intention accurately and clearly. "In the first scene that just finished filming, a shot was added, Ah Mao was playing his freestyle football under the watchful eyes of the children, and finally kicked the football into the air, the camera followed the football into the air, and then Ah Mao pulled out a pistol from his waist, shot at the football, and the bullet passed through the football. I need a lens like this. ”

Hayden frowned slightly, "Do you want the kind of 'Forrest Gump' or the kind of Western movies?" One of the most famous shots in Forrest Gump is the feather falling slowly in the air, which is not only a successful transition shot, but also a timeless meaning behind the shot.

"Westerns." Lance didn't hesitate. Although this scene is also profound, Lance needs the roughness of a western movie, not a poetic fairy tale.

Hayden turned his head to look, probably knowing what effect Lance wanted, but he didn't quite understand the meaning behind these shots, so he didn't take a big bag, "Let's shoot a few first, see if it's the effect you want?" Before Lance could nod, Hayden said, "However, you are the maker, and the budget is in your charge, and it is up to you." ”

"City of God" is a low-budget film, and film is one of the most difficult to control costs. Of course, the crew with deep pockets doesn't care, they can shoot a shot twenty or thirty times repeatedly, and then choose the one that satisfies them, and the film of the other shots is a waste; But Lance can't, if he squanders it, let alone three million, the cost of six million may not be able to stop the car.

Today is the first day, and Albert constantly emphasizes the importance of rehearsals, in order to ensure that during the filming process, as much as possible, unnecessary mistakes in the filming process will be avoided by the director, and then the cost will rise.

However, Lance knew that Hayden was not really worried about the budget - after all, it was only the first day, but he was complaining about Lance's nitpicking about the camera, the corners of Lance's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Hayden helplessly, "You got my permission, so, are you going to continue to stand here and argue with me, or move your damn ass to work?" ”

Hayden took two steps back with an innocent expression, "Mr. Director, obey!" Then he turned around, but suddenly cocked his ass at Lance - in response to Lance's words, and then deliberately twisted in the direction of the actors, "Boys, do it again!" ”

Albert stood next to him, but he couldn't hold back after all, and laughed out loud, only to be rewarded with a speechless slap from Lance.

"Lance, Lance......" Percy's hurried voice came from behind him, and the usual coldness had disappeared, and a faint trace of anxiety could be felt.

Lance turned around, he didn't need to ask Percy at all, he could see the chaos in front of him, a group of people came from the end of the street in a black and oppressive manner, the dense crowd could not be counted at all, only felt that the line of sight was crowded with people, the whole crowd was rapidly crushing forward, the distance was rapidly being shortened, and it was already close in the blink of an eye.

From a distance, you can see that the men are holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, with bright blades, hard table legs, and rudimentary broom handles...... There are even people holding weapons such as spatulas or hangers, which has an inexplicable sense of absurdity, but it makes people laugh, and the imposing face clearly says, "I'm here to find trouble!" "The sense of urgency of thousands of troops and the overwhelming army made the whole crew confused.

The child actors immediately began to flee in all directions, even the extras, who tried to flee far away before the danger occurred according to their own survival instincts/abilities, and the threat to their lives far exceeded the training and getting along with the crew for more than two months, and the orderly crew jumped up in an instant.

But something worse followed—they found themselves with nowhere to run, for the black-pressed crowd swarmed not only from one direction, but from all directions, forming an encirclement like a barrel, leaving no gaps. The scolding, the laughter, and the filthy swearing were mixed in the chaos, so that all reason was completely crushed.

The actors who fled in all directions went around in a circle, but they were forced to retreat, but they still couldn't settle down, many of them hid directly under the gas truck, and some people hid in the next room, the panicked scene only made the fear overwhelming.

Albert immediately called out to the rest of the crew, trying to reassure the cast and crew members, leaving Percy alone to stand tightly in front of Lance, but it was almost an impossible task, because there were only eight people in the entire crew, including Lance, but there were nearly a hundred actors present today. What's more, the looming sword light and sword shadow made the sense of threat rise step by step, as if even the air began to tense.

"They just showed up out of nowhere and threatened our crew to stop filming." Percy quickly explained the situation to Lance.

Lance's brow furrowed, "Did they state their identity?" He's also confused right now, trying to figure out the ins and outs. Percy shook his head, causing Lance's eyebrows to tangle anxiously.

Looking at the situation on such a large scale around us, it is not difficult to guess that this is an organized and planned activity. But the problem is that Lance, with the help of Donald, has obtained the permission of several major forces around him, and many members of the crew are from these forces. So, what's going on today?

"They broke their word." This is Lance's first guess, for those ** bigwigs, even the law is not binding, let alone a promise. A certain force wants the "City of God" to stop filming - on the first day of filming, but why? It doesn't make sense!

There wasn't much time for Lance to think about it now, looking at the torment and chaos of the scene like hell on earth, Lance quickly walked forward to meet him, and at this time the encirclement was still shrinking, trapping the entire crew in the middle of the street, leaving a distance of about fifty yards between the front and back, but they continued to get closer, and the bright blade made the sense of urgency of the scene feel imminent.

Directly in front of them, a handful of people came out alone, looking like they were talking people, and Lance shouted at them, "Stop! Then he strode forward, striking head-on, "Stop!" But his voice was completely drowned out by the noise of people around him, and no one could hear it, and Lance's steps became faster and faster, and his eyes were fixed on the man in the center in front of him, and he roared loudly, "Stop! ”

Immediately afterwards, Lance took out a pistol from his waist behind him, aimed it at the sky and pulled the trigger directly without any hesitation, and the roar of "bang" made everyone on the scene stop for a moment, and Lance's voice immediately echoed over the entire street, "Hell, Jesus Christ!" Stop me all of you! Stop it! ”

The sound was transmitted to everyone's ears very clearly, and most of them stopped, but the small group of people in the front still continued to move forward, and Lance rushed directly over in a few big strides, aiming at the ground and firing again, "Bang! The dust was flying all over the floor, and then Lance walked right in front of the group, "If you don't stop, the next shot will be on you!" ”

Quiet, deathly silence.
