Chapter 151: On-site Guidance

"Don't underestimate this film, although the cost is a bit low, it has the potential to leave a strong mark on the entire film history."

Before the filming of the movie started, Chen Xiao cheered up the actors and Gao Chang.

Even if Gao Chang didn't think so, he wouldn't dismantle Chen Xiao's stage at this time, he said to Katie Slote and Maika Fidstone: "You have to behave well and don't live up to Boss Chen's expectations." ”

Katie Slott and Mika Fidstone are students after all, and they are still a little excited about filming for the first time, and their heads are like chickens pecking rice.

Chen Xiao has seen the full version of this movie, and because of the memory protection function of "Blood Red", he remembers every detail clearly.

What he has to do now is to shoot the content of this movie in its entirety.

Based on this reason, Chen Xiao felt the need to come to the scene to control it in person.

In terms of shooting methods and shooting language, he doesn't understand these, but Gao Chang does.

He just needs to tell Gao Chang what he wants to shoot, and let Gao Chang arrange the camera movement to shoot it.

Although Chen Xiao felt that Gao Chang should have told Katie Slott and Maika Fidstone before filming, he was still a little uneasy.

In order to make the filming go smoothly, Chen Xiao was cautious and decided to say it again and talk about it in detail.

Chen Xiao said: "Before filming, I will talk about the content of this movie, so that you can have an idea." ”

"First of all, you are a young couple, this is identity, you have to remember that when you live together, the relationship must not be too rusty. At first, you finally moved into the big house in the suburbs that they had been waiting for, but you didn't see the slightest joy on your face. ”

"Because you're getting more and more horrified to find that there's something unclean in this house."

"Whatever the origin of these incomprehensible noises, they always happen in the middle of the night, especially when you are asleep or half-asleep."

"You're bothered by this increasingly obvious paranormal phenomenon, and this is Mika Fidstone's motivation for buying the camera."

"You want to use the camera instead of your sleeping self to see what is bothering them from time to time."

"So you installed multiple cameras in the house, hoping to record the evidence of the ghost haunting with real images,"

"Then there were a lot of terrible events in the script."

"Do you understand all of this?"

Although Gao Chang also said it before, Gao Chang is purely a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, which is a bit perfunctory, and he does not speak in as much detail as Chen Xiao.

After Chen Xiao's explanation, Katie Slott and Mika Fidstone both have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the story.

"Today, we're going to shoot the first half." Chen Xiao handed over the rest of the work to Gao Chang.

Gao Chang picked up his SonyHDR-FX1 camera and handed it to Mika Fides and said, "You guys are all in place first." First of all, the first shot is of Maika Fides shooting herself in the mirror in the room. ”

There's nothing difficult about this shot, and Maika Fides just takes a picture of the SonyHDR-FX1 camera in the mirror without even saying a single line.

At first, Gao Chang remembered that Chen Xiao required actors to know basic photography skills, so Gao Chang also gave Mika Fides and Katie Slote a few simple trainings, so that they could learn how to shoot with a machine.

Therefore, when Maika Fides was holding the SonyHDR-FX1 camera, the first shot was very natural, almost exactly the same as the original movie that Chen Xiao saw, and it passed smoothly.

"Alright, over, next shot." Gao Chang ordered decisively, and let Mika Fides take the machine and go outside.

The second shot is a sports shot, with Maika Fides pushing her vision outside the house, Katie Slote driving home her white supercar, and the two of them talking about some unnutritious homely things while also clicking on the fact that they bought a camera.

This Chen Xiao did not write the dialogue into the script, on the one hand, because he felt that it was too troublesome to write English, on the other hand, the original version had no lines and was improvised, and there were many accidental parts in this movie, which took the "real" style.

There is no need for him to frame everything, just direct and guide him on the spot.

As soon as the two of them said two words, Chen Xiao pointed out the problem: "Wait a minute." ”

Gao Chang shouted, "Card." ”

He wondered, "What's the matter, they're doing pretty well." ”

Chen Xiao said: "It's not a question, I said can you speak English?" You start by asking what this is, and then you say hello, and you say it can't be ......."

"Got it? It's just a conversation. Chen Xiao recounted the content of the conversation.

Katie Slotter and Mika Fiddlestone looked at each other, they thought they would make this movie in Chinese, but now it doesn't look like that.

Speaking English, don't be too easy, this is their native language, and this is what everyday communication is.

They didn't quite understand Chen Xiao's thoughts, even Gao Chang didn't understand, he thought at first that Chen Xiao wanted to create a contrast by foreigners speaking Chinese to create a movie effect, it seems that he still thinks too much.

But Katie Slott and Mika Fidstone nodded and did as they were told.

Chen Xiao then signaled to continue.

"The second shot begins!"

Katie Slotter and Mika Fidstone return to their positions and start over.

This time, the two began a daily conversation in English.

“whatisthat?”

“hellobaby!”

“isthatwhatithinkitis?”

“yes。”

……

Looking at the conversation between the two people, Chen Xiao felt that it was right, and it was basically the same as the original movie.

Gao Chang, who was on the side, also felt a little tasteful, and this kind of conversation was very natural.

couldn't help but look at Chen Xiao twice, the blind cat met the dead mouse.

"It's me who has entered the blind spot of thinking, otherwise, I would definitely be able to think of this."

Katie Slott and Mika Fidstone are getting better.

"Good. After the second shot, we move on to the next shot. Gao Chang arranged: "The next shot is the interior scene, which leads the topic to the supernatural event, and the perspective of the shooting is from Mika Fidstone's side." Prepare yourself. ”

"Ready, action!"

The filming progress of the movie is progressing in an orderly manner under the guidance of Chen Xiao and Gao Chang.

Katie Slott and Maika Fidstone are very cooperative with Chen Xiao and Gao Chang, and there are no moths.

According to this progress, the film will almost be completed in two days according to Chen Xiao's requirements.
