Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Duck That Hangs by a Thread
"Everyone, I want to say something!"
Early the next morning, as soon as Xiansen arrived on the set, he gathered the crew together.
"Yesterday's shoot was very good, and I hope you can keep it that way, and I'm here to thank everyone for their dedication to the film."
Bowing slightly, Xiansen continued: "Of course, there are also a few very isolated phenomena that make me very dissatisfied, such as the waste of film by some people, you know, this is a small cost, it can also be said to be a low-cost movie, some actors are paid zero to join, some drama workers get a very meager salary, and even our lighting engineers and props masters will come up with various ways to save expenses." ”
Speaking of this, Xiansen glanced at Brent, who lowered his head, and continued, "What are they doing this for?" In order to make the limited funds play a greater value, they are using their own actions to support the filming of the film. So, I hope, it's better not to have a next time for this wasteful phenomenon. ”
Xiansen said that he had his considerations, he knew that Brent liked photography, and if he could, he could even not limit Brent's use of film, but the investment in this film was too small, and if Brent was allowed to shoot as he wanted, it was estimated that the funds would be used up before half of the film was made. For the sake of Brent's face, Xiansen did not say Brent's name.
"I'm sorry, director, I was wrong."
Just as Xiansen was about to let everyone disperse, a voice came from the crowd, and Brent stood up with his head hanging and a guilty face.
"I'm sorry, director, I won't do this again."
Brent used to work in crews with big investments, whether it was "Elf Mouse Brother" or "Men in Black", in fact, he would not really delay the filming process because of the little film he wasted, so in his opinion, he was fired from these two crews only because his concept was not accepted, yes, he promoted a new shooting concept to the director team more than once, which is an alternative use of color tones, but unfortunately, no one accepted his idea, and he lost his job.
But now it's different, Brent knows how much investment Xiansen has, he knows very well that this crew is really likely to stop filming and disband because of his use of film, he is not a stubborn person, he is willing to adjust and correct his mistakes, so when Xiansen talked about it, he took the initiative to stand up.
"No, no, no, Brent, if you really feel wrong, you shouldn't just apologize to me."
Xiansen was actually very happy to see Brent apologize, he had heard a lot of rumors, but now it seems that the real surname of the rumors is not so accurate.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I know I was wrong."
Brent understood what Xiansen meant, turned around, bowed deeply to everyone, and said sorry sincerely.
"Bang Bang Bang"
It wasn't just who took the lead, everyone on the set applauded Brent.
"Brent, believe me, sooner or later, I'll leave you with endless films."
With a snap of his fingers, Xiansen smiled and assured Brent.
"I'm looking forward to that day."
The early morning episode didn't affect the rest of the shooting, maybe it was because of Brent's infection that everyone became more economical, at least the use of those bottles of purified water was much better than yesterday, but most of them were left in half a bottle yesterday.
Of course, there are exceptions.
"Hey, little one, listen, if you don't obey again, I'll turn you into braised duck!"
That's right, this special case is the duck in Xiansen's hand, the little yellow duck that narrowly escaped from the kitchens of seven restaurants.
I don't know if it's because of the change of environment, this little duck seems very uncomfortable, from the time the crew was caught to the present, it has been quacking there, and no matter what small fish and shrimp are fed to the side with its web, the waste is shameful, just when the whole crew is advocating the atmosphere of conservation, this behavior of a duck completely angered Xiansen, lifted the little yellow duck up, looked at the pair of somewhat panicked eyeballs, Xiansen warned fiercely: "Little guy, believe me, I don't mind letting you become a lump of yellow poop tomorrow, so, Give me a good meal, a good filming, understand? ”
Xiansen doesn't care if this little duck can understand his own intimidation, and he can't speak beast language, so he can only try to make his expression hideous, for any animal, hideous represents danger.
Sure enough, after Xiansen put down the little yellow duck, the little guy who was still quacking just now suddenly became honest, obediently squatted in the corner, and ate the small fish and shrimp that were photographed by himself.
"Drop, trigger the quest - [Duck with a Thread on the Line]; Mission Details: There will be a scene in the movie where a sedan drives past the little yellow duck, and the director is asked to make sure that the little yellow duck passes through the bottom of the car safely and that the shooting is successful. ”
Just as Xianmori was happy to see that his threat was working, a cold tone in his ears interrupted his pride.
"Mission again? This time it's to save the ducks? ”
After casually complaining about the system, Xiansen couldn't help but glance at the duck hiding in the corner, maybe he was really frightened, the little yellow duck buried his head in his wings tremblingly after seeing Xiansen's eyes, poor little duckling
There is indeed such a plot in the movie: on a new day, in order to meet Lucy, Henry deliberately arranged his pet yellow duck in the middle of the road that Lucy would drive by every day, but Lucy didn't see the duckling in order to find something, and the car drove over the little yellow duck
Generally, this kind of place related to car skills needs stuntmen to complete, but this expense is not small, and Xiansen feels that it is not cost-effective to spend this money for a trivial clip, so for this plot, it is almost okay to find a good car skill from the crew to practice a few more times.
"Who volunteered? Who wants to stand up? ”
When Xiansen said this problem, almost everyone subconsciously took a step back, saying that the car was rented, and the road was a potholed dirt road, regardless of the steering wheel, it was a challenge to drive in a straight line at the same time, and not to crush the duck.
"Don't you know how to drive? Rodel, can you? ”
Rodell is a field reporter, of course he can drive, but when Xiansen asked him, he quickly shook his head and denied it.
"Well, since no one wants to try it, I'll come myself."
When Xiansen said this, all the crew members quickly returned to their positions, waiting for the director to drive himself. It's not that they don't dare to try, but if the car scratches something, the stingy director will definitely let them pay for it themselves.
"Hey, little one, don't move, or you'll just wait to turn into duck mud!"
Before getting into the car, Xiansen also deliberately ran to the duckling's side and said with a wicked smile.
In fact, this play is not as dangerous as imagined, and Xiansen finally mastered the secret of keeping the car in a straight line after squashing four oranges.
"Now it's time to change John!"
Looking at the duck in the middle of the road, Xiansen tightened his grip on the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and then waited until the car started, suddenly let go of his hand and lowered his head
"Ding, the task [Duck with a Hanging Thread] is completed, and the player gets a chance to draw a lottery."
When this chime rang in his ears, Xiansen knew that he had succeeded again.
(The more updates, the faster the grades decline, and now it's ranked 18, for this situation, melon seeds don't want to say anything, their skills are not as good as others, and melon seeds admit defeat.) Thank you again to those friends who have been supporting melon seeds, and friends who have praised melon seeds, I really appreciate it. There is a recommendation for melon seeds next week, but there is no pursuit of fruit melon seeds, and when I opened this book, melon seeds expected this result, either to pounce to death, or to fight to death. In the end, as long as the friends who are still supporting the melon seeds can be satisfied with the story of the melon seeds, the melon seeds will be very happy. August 1st reverted to the original update time, thank you)
