Chapter 16: Betting

Just as Jude and Kate were about to finish talking, Jim found Ayman Ruhr, who was fiddling with the camera.

Jim was not convinced of the Mexican-American photographer at first, but after a collaboration, he found that the other party's professionalism was very high, and he couldn't help but have the idea of getting acquainted.

"What are you doing with these little notes on your machine?"

Eman Ruhr stopped what he was doing and glanced up at Jim.

Seeing that the other party was indeed sincerely asking for advice, he explained: "Because I am not an actor, I don't have the ability to remember all the timing and all the dialogues like an actor." Sometimes I can only stick a small note next to the monitor screen, and while I am holding the camera, I can read the note with one glasse and check the composition with the other eye. ”

Jim sat down next to Ayman Ruhr, turned his head to look at him and said seriously: "The most difficult part of this movie is the shooting, I have to say that you are really good." ”

Eman Rull put down the camera and smiled at Jim.

"You and your partner are also very good, although you put the microphone in my footage twice, but it's very good to be able to do this the first time."

Jem held out his hand, ready to reacquaint himself with Ayman Ruhr.

"Jim Nelson!"

"Ayman Ruhr-Lubezki."

The two shook hands, and the relationship was taken a step further.

"To be honest, when Tony came to me yesterday, I didn't believe that movies could really be made like this, and the performance of the crew today was really eye-opening." Jim glanced at Jude, who was talking to the actors, "Is it true that going to prison will change people so much?" My impression of director Locke is still completely stuck in alcoholism, flying cars, and playing with women, I really didn't expect him to start directing seriously. ”

Aiman Ruhr has witnessed the change of the entire crew and has a higher opinion of Jude in his heart.

"When I got the call from him asking me to join, I had the same idea as you, and I didn't even plan to join, but in the end I was convinced by him, and now it seems that it is all good."

"At least one thing hasn't changed, his womanhood is still so good." Jim pouted at Kate Nunu, who was memorizing lines, "When will I find such a beautiful girlfriend?" ”

"Girlfriend?" Aiman Ruhr smiled and shook his head, "This time you really looked away, Kate is not Locke's girlfriend. ”

Jim smiled disappreciatively.

"Not now, maybe in the future."

Aiman Ruhr was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.

"Why don't we make a bet! I bet that after the film ends, Jude and Kate's relationship will definitely go further. Jim said confidently.

"Then you have to be prepared to lose, because Kate now has a boyfriend, and the other party is a standard British handsome guy, and the most important thing is that neither of them has any intention of developing in the direction of boyfriend and girlfriend now." Aiman Ruhr smiled at Jim with some regret, and in his opinion, he was definitely sure to win the game.

Jim didn't argue any more, for by this time Jude was already walking towards them.

"I saw that you had a good chat just now, how was it, were there any problems with the first cooperation?"

Jude looked at Ayman Ruhr, and finally his eyes fell on Jim, whom he didn't know very well.

"My microphone has appeared twice in Aiman Ruhl's footage, and he has reminded me that I will definitely pay attention next time."

Jude nodded with satisfaction: "I'm glad you can adapt so quickly, we'll do it again at noon, and then the shooting will officially start in the afternoon." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Ayman Rull stopped him from behind.

"Locke!"

Jude turned his head and looked at Ayman Ruhr with some bewilderment.

"Any questions?"

"With the current state of the crew, how many times do you think we will have to shoot in total?"

"I'd say less is better, of course, but you know it's not up to me, it's up to you, Jim, and our eight actors." Jude threw Ayman an understandable look and turned away.

Jim looked at Aiman Ruhr in confusion, "What does he mean by that?" ”

Aimanrull stared at Jude's back and replied without looking back, "Obviously, he wants us to succeed the first time." ”

"How is this possible!" Jim couldn't help but scream.

Emmanrull could only smile bitterly at this, he couldn't tell Jim that Jude was doing it all to save money, and if he could get it done all at once, he would save money on film and labor.

"Do your best!" In the end, he could only comfort Jim like this.

――

The rehearsal at noon went smoothly, and with the familiarity with the venue and the script, it was rare for the actors to make mistakes, and there was a certain tacit understanding between the cinematographer Aiman Ruhr and the sound engineer Jim.

Jude gives everyone an hour of rest, followed by the film's first boot shooting.

"Don't have too much psychological burden, the main task today is to let everyone find the feeling of real shooting, so let go of the performance as much as possible, if there are really some small lines missing, don't panic, and continue to follow the camera completely."

Jude stood in front of the camera and finished the final arrangements, and stepped back to stand outside the camera.

Emmanruel and Jim glanced at each other and nodded at Jude together.

"Let's go!"

Jude motioned for the pickup to begin, and Mueller, who was already standing in front of the camera, began to move things onto the pickup truck.

Aiman Ruhr's shot gives Mueller a close-up of his half, then moves to the left as his gaze moves to the left, ending up on a silver-gray car on the side of the street.

Tony, Maggie, Petty, and Han Lin got out of the car together, holding food and wine in their hands, and stepped forward to hug and greet Loew one by one.

At this time, the roar of the motorcycle came from far and near, and Jeff carried Kate on the stage.

When Kate took off her helmet, Ayman Ruhr's camera was already focused on her.

A long wallow hair cascading down like a waterfall, and the scene of Kate holding a helmet becomes the most shocking scene in the opening scene of the film.

A few friends quickly finished greetings, Aiman Ruhr held the camera in front, several actors walked in the middle, and then Jim and his partner Severn followed at the end, and the entire shooting crew smoothly moved from outdoor to indoor.

This good start made all the crew members, including Jude, feel very excited.
