Chapter 405: Bet
"Every director has his own advantages, and these are the places where I should continue to learn" Chen Feng shrugged with a smile, "The scene you are going to shoot today is not difficult, you must be prepared for the pain of your buttocks."
Christine blushed at the thought of the "protective equipment" she had added to her jeans, "How do you know..."
"Why did you forget, I am the screenwriter of the film, and in the entire crew, no one knows the plot of the whole story better than me." Chen Feng said with a smile.
Christine clasped her fingers in front of her chest, "I hope I can pass it once." ”
――――
God didn't seem to hear Christine's prayers in the dressing room, the first time she shot this shot, she literally smashed her ass on the ground, but she herself was not satisfied after looking at the camera in the monitor, Uncle Ty was still thinking about it, and Christine offered to shoot it again.
"Are you sure?" Tim. There was not the slightest surprise on Burton's face because of Christine's seriousness, he was actually thinking about another question. Christine is not yet 16 years old, and under child protection laws, minors are limited to a maximum of five hours a day of filming, and must attend at least three hours of cultural classes a day, adding to the pressure.
Christine nodded stubbornly, "I think I can play better." ”
"Okay" Uncle Ti couldn't resist her in the end, so he could only agree to shoot again.
Christine was preparing while Tim. Bolton turned his head and made a bet with Chen Feng, who was sitting next to him: "I can be sure." She definitely didn't play it this time before. ”
Chen Feng didn't believe it at first, but the actual situation was not much different from what Uncle Ti expected, probably because of the pain of the last fall, Christine was always a little twisted and couldn't let go of her hands and feet when she shot for the second time, and the final shooting effect was like the fake fall of an athlete on the football field.
Despite the poor performance, Christine's butt actually fell to the ground, and she was a little dizzy. She had to say, after confirming the results, "I really can't do it again, that's all." ”
Uncle Ty nodded in satisfaction, although Christine messed up the second shoot. But he won the bet with Chen Feng. He appears elated, but confuses the unwitting Christine.
Although the genius director is notoriously weird and temperamental, Christine still has a lot of questions in her mind. She didn't dare to ask in person, so she had to ask Chen Feng from the side.
"Actually, you did a good job the first time you shot it." After listening to Christine's doubts, Chen Feng comforted her and said.
"But the second time I messed up the shoot, why did Mr. Bolton not only look not angry, but also happy." Kristen pouted, "Is it because my second performance was hilarious?" ”
"You really think too much," Chen Feng shook his head, "Before your performance, Mr. Bolton made a bet with me, he thought that your second performance would definitely not be as effective as the first. I didn't believe it, and then I made a bet with him, and in the end he won.
"I'm sorry" Christine bowed her head sadly, because of her mistakes and stubbornness, not only messed up her own shooting. also made Chen Feng lose the bet, which made her particularly unhappy.
"Don't worry too much, I actually only lost a dollar."
"A dollar?" Christine's eyes widened in surprise, "That's your bet?" ”
"Of course" Chen Feng nodded very seriously, he didn't lie on this issue, but he concealed a very important prerequisite. …,
Uncle Ty did win only one dollar. But according to the agreement between him and Chen Feng, a dollar means an unconditional cooperation agreement, although Chen Feng is now only the assistant director of this crew, but don't forget that he also has multiple identities, in the field of actors and screenwriters, he has stood at the forefront of the frontline, whether it is his script or himself, for a director like Uncle Di who pursues perfection, it is a harvest that should not be underestimated.
――――
The changeable weather of Forks has become the biggest enemy of the crew's shooting, yesterday it was just a gloomy sky, today it was swallowed up by gray clouds, large and large dark clouds, pressing the sky very low, like a broken wall about to collapse, and it has been brewing a kind of snowy weather since the morning.
Today's crew filmed a shot of Christine and Taylor Lautner walking on the beach with the waves, which was supposed to be filmed in mild weather, but it turned out to be like this: with freshly melted snow and frost, the bitter cold sea breeze rolled the knee-high waves, posing a very serious challenge to the performance of the two actors.
To protect themselves, both Kristen and Taylor Lautner wore several pairs of socks and even home plush socks, which they filled all the gaps and even wrapped them in a layer of water-proof plastic wrap, but this still did not block the biting cold.
Before the official start of filming, Uncle Ti clapped his hands and called the two actors in front of him, "Girls, I know the weather is terrible today, but our filming can't be postponed, the producer urges me to speed up the filming every day, so today you need to overcome the inconvenience caused by the weather, and we strive not to reshoot"
If it weren't for the fact that today's weather was indeed a little too cold, the feet of the two actors would still be soaked in the waves, otherwise they would never have heard such comforting and encouraging words from Uncle Ti's mouth. He has always been unsmiling at work, and it is a very rare thing to be able to grin today.
The oncoming cold wind was blowing, tearing people's clothes and sweeping their frozen purple faces. Don't look at Uncle Ti's rare smile just now, but in fact, his mood at the moment is as dark as the gloomy sky. Under the continuous high-intensity work and the harassment of changeable weather, the cinematographers in the crew fell ill one after another, and this set of shots had to be shot from multiple angles at the same time, and his manpower on hand seemed to be a little stretched.
In such bad weather, Chen Feng did not stay in the hotel honestly, he quietly mixed into the crew's location car, and was shushing Christine in the temporary windshield tent at this time. Uncle Ti opened the curtain door of the tent and walked in, and then found that Chen Feng was also there. His eyes lit up, he was short of photographers, and Chen Feng was not a ready-made candidate?
Uncle Ti laughed, and smiled a little maliciously, which made Christine and Taylor Lautner a little nervous, but Chen Feng knew that he was unlucky. Because every time he saw Uncle Ti's expression, he didn't encounter anything good next.
Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Di opened his mouth, he told him about the problems encountered by the crew, under the gaze of the two beauties, Chen Feng, the photographer, had to be the photographer if he didn't want to, because he couldn't put his face down, although he was very reluctant, but Chen Feng reluctantly accepted being killed by Tim. Bolton gives the fact of catching the strong man.
Uncle Di is quite kind, Chen Feng is only responsible for the side reshooting, he doesn't have to be like the No. 1 photographer, his legs have to be soaked in the cold and biting waves. But even so, the cold wind still blew on the face like sharp stones, and the taste was not pleasant.
Chen Feng is okay, he was blown by the wind and felt uncomfortable, and he could grin and stomp his feet, but this made the two people in front of the camera suffer, they were facing the biting cold wind, stepping on the cold seawater, and they still made a breezy expression on their faces. This is not only a test of acting skills, but also their endurance. …,
Chen Feng's camera can clearly see the side faces of the two actors, and can even capture their subtle frowns or unnatural twitching of the corners of their mouths. At this time, he suddenly admired these two tough girls, because not everyone was able to do this. At the same time, he began to curse the damn weather in his heart.
Although the shooting environment was harsh, Uncle Ti lowered his requirements at all because of this, and he also hoped that this set of shots would pass at one time, but the actual situation was not optimistic, and this set of shots was shot 3 times before barely passing. When he called "OK" for the last time, Kristen and Taylor Lautner were half-kneeling on the beach, crying with joy.
――――
On the general line of the story, Tim. Bolton faithfully reproduced the original book, but he also added and modified some of the stories in the original book according to the characteristics of the film. In the original novel, there is no scene where the hero climbs to the top of a tree, but Uncle Ti came up with this chic idea. Chen Feng was very suspicious that Uncle Ti's inspiration came from the bamboo top battle in Xu An's "Crouching Tiger".
In order to complete the filming of this scene, the crew filmed in 7 different places. During the filming of the long shot, the stuntman substituted for the two leading actors, especially the scene where the two climbed the tree trunk, which was filmed by helicopter. As for the shooting of close-ups, the crew sawed off the top of a tree and planted it on the edge of the cliff, so as to create a romantic scene of the two standing on the top of the tree, but for safety reasons, Chen Feng and Christine were tied to steel cables.
In order to achieve Tim. Burton's whimsical romantic idea, the crew's special effects team can be described as painstaking, they found a suitable cliff in the middle of the western side of the forest, and a feldspar broke off from the main body, like a sharp sword into the sky. Behind it, a pine tree fell, just in time for the backdrop. The terrain here is high and the top of the cliff can overlook the forest sea in the distance, and the trees are verdant and thick, like a green carpet, covering the earth. Overlooking the woodland, the reckless sky, stretching to the horizon. The gusts of wind blow, the green waves roll, and the forest waves make a sound, feeling the wonder and magnificence.
