The second rehearsal was much better, and there was more tacit understanding between the actors, at least when someone forgot a word, others outside the camera would find a way to give him some hints.

The 90 minutes passed quickly, and after that there was no frustration from the first time, because everyone felt that they were improving.

Tony saw that everyone was still a little unsatisfied, so he took the initiative to propose to Jude: "It's still a little early for dinner, do you want to come again?" ”

"I'm against it!" Photographer Ayman Ruhr was the first to jump out and followed the whole shot twice, although it was just for show, but it also made him tired enough, and if he was to arrange it for the third time today, he would say that he would not do anything.

"Please, everyone has found some performance feeling now, and you're dragging down the whole crew like this." Petty's big hat buttoned down.

"Why don't you just stand there like a prop and make a show without holding a camera this time?" Kate came up with a compromise.

Seeing that there were many people here, Aymanrul simply turned his gaze to Jude, which means that Jude is the last one to pay for himself, and it doesn't matter what you say, only he can speak.

"Locke, what do you think?"

Kate consulted Jude on behalf of everyone.

"I agree with Ayman Ruhr, so let's stop for today." Jude's answer was somewhat unexpected, but then he added: "You are already tired from two rehearsals, and it is very difficult for you to make the same progress as you did if you rehearse again according to the principle of diminishing utility, and the problems that may occur in rehearsals will once again hit your confidence, which in my opinion is more than worth the loss." ”

"I agree with Director Locke's point of view, the improvement of acting skills does not depend on hard practice, and at the same time, you have to spend a lot of time summarizing and thinking, knowing that you are wrong and knowing why you make mistakes is the most important thing."

Muller took Jude's side this time and gave some advice from the perspective of an acting teacher.

Loew raised his hand a little impatiently, "So we can go eat?" ”

"Of course!" Jude raised his hand and looked at his watch, "At 7 o'clock in the evening, the restaurant we last met, I have a treat!" ”

"Yay!"

Everyone cheered with joy, except for Ayman Ruhr.

"Isn't it just a dinner, is it worth having so much fun?"

Jude turned his head and glared at Ayman Ruhr, "You don't have to come. ”

The captured Aiman Ruhr smiled awkwardly and raised his hands in an apologetic motion.

"I'm kidding."

――

Tony pulled over at Jude's command and poked his head out to look at the old gray house in front of him.

The iron fence in front of the yard is crawling with vines, and the lawn in front of the door is full of fallen leaves, and it looks like it hasn't been cleared for some time.

Ayman Ruhr, who got out of the car with Jude, pointed to the sign for sale hanging on the iron door, "Are you sure we're going to shoot here?" ”

"It wasn't easy to find a house in Los Angeles with a fireplace in the living room, and I had a lot of time to get permission from the owner of the house through a real estate agent, and the crew had a week to shoot here."

Tony closed the car door and walked over, "It's not bad here." ”

Ayman Rull didn't talk any more nonsense, but clasped his hands and began to wonder how the opening scene of the film should be filmed, he would not be naïve to think that Jude would leave him a lot of time to waste.

Jude saw that Tony was standing by and was doing nothing, so he pointed to the other side of the house.

"Want to go inside?"

"Of course." With his hands in his pockets, Tony followed Jude into the room.

The smell of dust in the air is very strong, the valuable furniture in the house has been emptied, and the only sofa left in the living room is covered with a white dust cloth, and it seems that the house has been hanging with the real estate agent for a long time and has not been sold.

"I have to say that you are really lucky to be able to find such a house that is about to vacate, which is almost exactly the same as the situation in the hero's house in the script." Tony reached out and scratched the kitchen table, blew the dust off his fingers and said, "Of course, before the official shooting, I guess you have to ask someone to clean the living room and kitchen, such a thick dust is not like a place to live for a long time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a lawn mower sounded outside the house.

Jude smiled at Tony, "I thought of this a long time ago, and the cleaner is estimated to be there later." ”

Tony shrugged, realizing that whatever he said now seemed a little redundant.

Probably interrupted by the noise of a lawnmower, Eman Ruhr walked in with an irritated expression.

"I've already figured out how I'm going to shoot the scene outside the house, but the sound of that lawnmower is so annoying that it makes my head buzz and I can't concentrate on it."

"The shooting in the house was done according to our rehearsal at the hotel, and the layout was pretty much the same anyway." Jude covered his mouth and nose and pulled the white cloth off the sofa, showing the entire living room in front of Ayman Ruhr.

Aymanrull looked up and down, left and right, and then frowned.

"You're right, but you're ignoring the lights."

He walked quickly to the window, and as soon as he pulled the curtain open, the whole living room suddenly became bright.

"The light here is a bit too bright in the morning and at noon, especially when the camera is pointed at the window, and only in the afternoon is the best time to shoot, and when it gets too dark, you will have to face the problem of filling in the light. If you want the visual style of this film to be as natural as possible, then we can't use cinematic fixtures, they have to be all light bulbs, real light sources. The camera's dynamic range allows us to capture both the highlight detail of the bulb and the actors' facial expressions without overexposing them. Of course, we can also use a 20K light bulb and place it outside the window to simulate daylight, but other than that, all the light comes from the bulb and natural light. ”

"Then as you said, just shoot with natural light, what's wrong with that?" Tony didn't know much about the lighting, but he didn't think it was of much use to Ayman Ruhr.

Emmanrull looked at Jude speechlessly, he didn't want to waste his time explaining more to a layman like Tony.

After a moment of silence, Jude asked, "In other words, the only time we can spend each day shooting is from afternoon to evening?" ”

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to shoot it all the time."

Emmanruel thought to himself, thankfully, Jude understood what he meant.

"Then rehearse in the morning and shoot in the afternoon."

Jude quickly made a decision.
