"The whole world prepares! If you don't want to be hurt, all the idlers and miscellaneous people go away!"

On the morning of April 1, in Los Angeles, in the middle of Ocean Drive in Santa Monica, the set of "The Wedding is Coming" is entering the countdown to the start of filming.

After returning from a trip a few days ago, Ye Wei immediately devoted himself to the final preparations for the remake and filming, and he could only ask for leave on the 29th when Harvard-West Lake resumed school.

Lily went back to school, and Lev them, the news had already leaked, and Lev gossiped a lot, and he was really embarrassed to tell his friends "I'm still a virgin", but he just laughed and said it was wonderful, but he couldn't share the details, which really can't.

Although there are 23 people excluding the cast crew, it can only be regarded as a basic structure crew, each department is simple and sound, the supervisors are old Hollywood fritters, and the assistants are college students.

Because of Pretong's matchmaking, the people invited were good for the situation and salary of this project.

Executive producer Peter Heller, this young man has nearly ten years of production experience, participated in the production of 7 films, the most famous is "Jordan's Descendants" in 2oo2, he is the second producer, but this family comedy with a production cost of $3ooo million, the box office is really not good, only $51.43 million North American box office, it is difficult to recover the production fee.

So Heller has not had a new job in the past two years and is on the verge of being eliminated from the industry, but his production ability is enough to serve as Ye Wei's executor.

Assistant director Jennifer Anderson, a 36-year-old woman, also has nearly ten years of experience in the industry, the second assistant director of "Beautiful Girl Cheerleading", the first assistant director of the youth idol drama "Orange County Boys", and is very good at assistant director affairs.

Cinematographer Sean Maurrell, a man in the prime of his forties, has been in the industry for more than 16 years, and has been in charge of short films, music videos, TV movies, movies, etc., the most famous is "Pretty Girl Cheerleader" and "Jordan Heirs", because of the latter's failure, he was also implicated, his career went backwards, and now he only has some music mV work.

They joined "The Wedding Date is Coming" to give Ye Wei a chance, and also to get the opportunity given by Ye Wei, looking forward to turning over and rising.

Of course, everyone is really interested in this project, so they will bet on it.

Especially Maurer, he has never made a spoof movie before, but this time he seems to have finally found his goal in life, full of passion, and put forward a lot of unique insights on how to shoot, which moved Ye Wei and became a good partner for the director.

With such a professional crew, Ye Wei, as a director, in addition to drawing storyboards, does not have a lot to do, the actors are still the same people, decomposing the script and shooting schedule to the assistant director, venue and equipment, etc., there are executive producers to do, and the art, props and other departments also operate freely.

The most he does is decide, his men make things a, b, and c, and then he chooses an answer.

But he has a lot of other things to do, and there's a new development on the opening of the column!

It's not a tabloid, it's the Los Angeles Times! This high-status mainstream newspaper intends to publish an article in the movie section to see how the response is, and then make a follow-up decision.

When Brian told Ye Wei the news, he was very excited: "You must write this article well, if you can have a weekly column in the Los Angeles Times, it will help you maintain your popularity and stabilize your image as a talent, this is a very important article!"

Yes, only if the response is good, there will be the possibility of a weekly column, the response is average, and the manuscript is not scheduled from time to time, and the response is poor, then ......

The publication date is April 5, and the article has to be handed over to the public relations team on April 3 for checking, Ye Wei has already thought about what to write, and he is full of confidence.

After the last three days of intensive preparation in March, the first day of April, Thursday, is the big day for the remake of the footage!

"Start recording. ”

The recording begins. ”

At this time, the set on the corner of the street was quiet, only the voices of the assistant director and the sound engineer continued to sound, it is not easy to record cleanly on the side of the bustling avenue without blockade, the problem is not the passers-by, but the traffic coming and going, only to seize a calm moment to complete the shooting, if it is really not possible, it will be re-recorded in the later stage.

The crew all stood still, a little strange at a glance, most of them were middle-aged faces, the other half were young faces, and there were two teenagers!

They stood next to the Sony HDC-F95O camera, a tall black boy, in simple and sunny warm clothes, wearing a Dodgers baseball cap on his head, holding the director's viewfinder in his hand, and looking at the two leading actors in front of the camera intently.

The director here, the god on the set, VIy.

And next to him stood a tall girl, also looking at the performance area, she was wearing a white T-shirt and army green military pants, and she wore an old black director's fur hat, which was the hat that Francis Coppola had worn for many years, with the director's viewfinder around her neck, Gia Coppola, the guest assistant director.

"Start shooting. ”

"Photography begins. ”

This boot scene is the scene where Bourne proposes to Kana, a new plot made up by Ye Wei, Bourne's proposal is successful, but the ring falls into the drain on the side of the road. This will be part of the remastered opening montage, with their hapless proposal on one side and the happy picture of My Grand Greek Wedding under the auspices of the god of weddings.

Nearly 7o% of the remastered footage is related to the god of weddings played by Ye Wei, and he must appear, but not today.

Today belongs to Todd "Byrne" Serge and "Kana" Ashley Mato, both of whom have been rehearsed and are waiting for that order.

"Plus. ”

tags. ”

"The third scene, the first shot, the first one. ”

Susan, the field assistant, took the clapper and showed it in front of the camera, and then played the board, and snapped.

Ye Wei's heart suddenly churned, although "The Wedding is Coming" is not exactly his directorial work, and Kevin Thomas's slut's name will also appear in the director's column, but it has always been his father's movie dream, the beginning of a qiē!

It is already his child, maybe not so beautiful, and still full of scars, but it carries his dreams, his father's dreams, and everyone's hopes.

Only when the filming is done well, the family's economic predicament can be solved quickly, and parents don't have to work so hard; only when the filming is done well, "Little Sunshine Beauty" can be carried out smoothly, and even invite superstars to join; only when the filming is done well, will he further prove his film talent!

Screenwriter, producer, director, starring! The work is the greatest power, just use this new "Wedding is Coming" to tell the world that VIy is an unstoppable genius!

“anetbsp; Ye Wei shouted, and the set immediately entered the filming state, the two actors began to perform, and the gun-shaped microphone hanging above their heads dangled around, Sean Maurer operated the camera, and several people in the lighting team controlled the lights......

"Kana, I love you, can you marry me?"

"Oh...... Yes, I do!"

Byrne happily wanted to put a ring on Kana's left middle finger, but was surprised to see that the ring was too small to put on, so he had to push hard, Kana screamed in pain, reflexively shook her fist away, and pointed her middle finger at him, and the engagement ring flew out!

Looking at the rings flying in the air, both of them looked terrified!

"cuT!" At the end of the shot, Ye Wei instructed with a smile under the eyes of everyone: "It's okay, but it can be better, I need your expressions to be weirder and more exaggerated, especially when the ring falls, remember, you are like seeing a ghost, as terrifying as you are! ”

This is a big laugh at the opening, which makes the audience's interest explode, and also makes them have clear expectations for the story and atmosphere, that is, funny, funny, and inferior. This kind of key lens must be the best shot.

"The third scene, the first shot, the second one. ”

“anetbsp; In the end, this shot was taken to the sixth one, and Ye Wei was satisfied.

This is just the main shot, and there is still a lot of work to be done in this scene, including the insertion shot of wearing the ring, the slow-motion shot of Bourne throwing down and trying to rescue the ring, and the close-up of the two of them. Although I still shoot here, because of the difference in camera position and lighting, I have to set it up again.

Ye Wei was about to go to speak to the two main actors, but Ji Ya whispered to him sternly: "Your hat is crooked." ”

This is a good code between them, which really means "In terms of studio culture, you made an unprofessional mistake", Ye Wei frowned suspiciously, "Yan zhòng?"

"Depending on what you think, you can not care. ”

How can you not care, but you can't affect the authority of the director! Ye Wei said to her, and walked away to the far side of the street, and the people who were busy more than a dozen steps away definitely couldn't hear it, and he asked Ji Ya who came with him, "What?"

"Poof...... "Gya" Gia laughed before she could say anything, looking at him like a child, "almost laughing at me, genius, your anet is as ordinary as any passerby on the street." ”

"You mean......" Ye Wei also smiled helplessly, feeling that he was being tricked by her, "I didn't shout passionately enough?

"That just makes you more of a rookie. Gia enjoyed his ignorance very much, and Yoyo said: "Kid, it's time to listen to Master Gia, let's put it this way, only those rookie directors say anet, you want your crew to think 'this is VIy's set', 'VIy is the boss', you have to use a personal sentence." ”

Ye Wei listened and thought about it, it made sense, this is a psychological tactic, everyone can use anet, but the person who uses a certain sentence is only VIy, that is his prerogative.

Gia continued: "Like my grandfather, he said 'go, go', I also know that Nessel Leone said 'anete', English with an Italian accent, Clint Eastwood sometimes said that as a tribute to Leone, but he most often said 'go-ahead', and Martin Scorsese, he said 'anetergy!'...... And you?anetbsp; With that, she teased again, muttering "anet" six times.

"Damn......" Ye Wei patted his forehead in annoyance, it seemed that he was wearing the emperor's new clothes just now, the old fritters laughed in their hearts, but no one pointed it out, until Master Ji Ya laughed and shouted, "You are a**!" He pulled the baseball cap and said happily: "Thank you, you don't sue me, I really don't know when this problem will appear." ”

Celebrities have their own logos on the screen, and directors have their own logos on the set! He thought to himself, "What should I say?"

"Your choice, you can say the F word. Gia shrugged, "Mine has long been decided, 'cheers', don't steal it!"

"F words?" Ye Wei's eyes lit up, and he thought of something, "Yes, F words are good!"

Even if she has a strong nature, Gia was stunned at this moment, and then laughed excitedly: "That's really going to set a Guinness World Record - the set with the most F words!"

After a while, the set on the street corner became quiet again, and the assistant director Jennifer shouted that he was ready to start filming, and then the responses of various departments.

"The third scene, the second shot, the first one. ”

Smack!

Except for Gia, who was looking forward to it, everyone didn't know what was going to happen, many, many years later...... Anyway, maybe it's a legendary symbol, and VIy's anet personal logo is about to be born!

Ye Wei shouted with some excitement: "Fire!"

Fire!

Majestic, however, the first time, often embarrassing, everyone was stunned, and the two leading actors blinked blankly, uh, is it started?

Ye Wei had no choice but to wave his arms exaggeratedly, and use body language to prompt "It's time to shoot!", oh my God, these people, do you want him to make it clear "Attention, Fire is the way I shout to start shooting in the future", is that cool or stupid?

Fortunately, everyone could understand the gestures, and the performance and filming began to work......

The old fritters were expressionless, the college students were puzzled and wanted to laugh, and Jiya was just snickering, so stupid!

Ye Wei glared at her, damn guy, it's not your idea yet, okay, the effect of the first time is not very good, but stick to it, this will be the sign of VIy!
