"Boy, what do you think the director should be on the set?"

Before arriving at the set, Spielberg asked a question like an assessment, smiling.

A lot of thoughts flashed in Ye Wei's heart for a moment, there is no standard for this kind of question, every director should have his own style, and sincere answers can move people even more......

Thinking back to the three days of filming "Dance of Angels", scenes appeared in front of him, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Friend, I will be friends with my team members." If you are the boss, the king, or the word of God, things may be done faster, but everyone will become a bunch of echo worms, without passion, without care, just a job.

But film is a kind of team creation, no one understands a qiē, and complementing each other will get more. Especially friends, they will have the greatest vitality, regard the crew as their home, think about how to make it better, and everyone will establish friendship, there will be the next cooperation, and the efficiency of the old friend crew will be higher.

It's the way I like directing. ”

"Just friends?" Spielberg asked again, seemingly dissatisfied, and his smile lightened.

Ye Wei frowned, a little puzzled, this is not only his heart, Spielberg is also this type of director, and like James Cameron, his relationship with the crew members has always been controversial, many actors who have worked with him will say "I will never work with him again" after the finish, and really do that.

Spielberg is different, there are many actors and crew members who have become long-term friends with him, such as Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Zemeckis and others, it can be said that they formed their own power group and worked together.

Not every director is James Cameron, and Cameron can't become a giant like Spielberg, why is the old man not satisfied?

Ye Wei thought about it and added: "I won't say it's just a friend, sometimes you have to play other roles, sometimes you're a boss, sometimes you're even a villain, but most of the time you're a friend, a friend that people love and hate, and in the end, you always love him." ”

Spielberg listened and did not speak, and continued to walk forward, not knowing what his attitude was.

Bonus points, or lower points? Ye Wei scratched his forehead, no matter what, just be yourself.

Paramount has more than 3o studios, and since last November, "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snich" has been filming in 1o of them, and the one they are now walking into, not far from Paramount's iconic water tower, is an important scene in the film: the mansion of Count Olaf.

This is a Hollywood blockbuster set, at a glance, there are two or three hundred staff members, busy, noisy and abnormal, whether it is the rest area of the "base camp", the catering area, or the photography and performance area on the set, there are people coming and going, full of shouts from various departments of the crew.

If this is a bazaar, then the set of "Dance of Angels" is the frontyard lawn stall.

"Haven't you got the damn lights right?"

"The lights are good, but the set is too slow!"

"No, the camera is placed here, it seems to be off axis?", "It was there just now, and it is within 18o degrees of this, and there is absolutely no off-axis!", "Field notes!"

A few people who were arguing about the next camera and not crossing the axis heard what the assistant who was walking over quickly, and suddenly stopped and turned around, and when they saw something, they all came with a smile.

"Hey Steven, welcome!"

4o year old director Brad Sebnin, a white man with long shawls and glasses, 5o producer Laurie MacDonald, a white woman with a golden and strong heart, and 4o year old cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (2 Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography), Spielberg was there to visit, and they were not slacking off.

Spielberg exchanged a few words with a smile on his face, and the director and cinematographer went back to continue arguing, while the producer took the big man on a tour of the set.

Ye Wei followed beside him, his eyes were dishonestly looking at the busy surroundings, his blood was boiling, and the blockbuster was on the set! Great! What about Jim Carrey and Streep? It's not that he wants to ask for any autographs, and it is always exciting to see his favorite actors with his own eyes.

However, he regretted that none of them were on the set this morning! It seemed that only a few young actors had come.

Like Emily Browning, who played her sister "Violet", he remembered the information he checked before, a girl from Australia, more than 15 years old, started acting at the age of 1o, she has already acted in many movies, "Only to the Sky", "Ghost Ship", last year's "Kelly Party" was still Heath Ledger's sister, she looks quite temperamental, and she really looks like a little sister next door.

Emily Browning, who had finished the rehearsal over there, suddenly looked over.

Ye Wei smiled slightly, then withdrew his gaze and concentrated on following the big man.

"We planned to shoot for three more days and then we would leave here and continue shooting at the Downey Studios in the suburbs, the set was a huge challenge, but luckily we caught up with the progress. ”

Along the way, Laurie MacDonald told Spielberg about the filming progress and introduced all aspects of the set, when everyone came to the monitoring playback area, where a large TV with a cable connection was placed, and at Laurie's motion, the assistant played the previously filmed footage, which was not visible.

There are nearly ten people standing in the small area, and the more power there is, the more naturally they are in front, and Ye Wei can stand in the second row because of the light.

He looked at the TV screen with interest, maybe he could get a sneak peek at Stepry's performance?

"These are the shots that were just taken. Laurie, however, laughed and said it was Emily Browning's performance. At this time, director Seboning also came, smiling. Spielberg nodded and complimented, "It looks good." ”

Ye Wei frowned, and vaguely saw a little incongruous black shadow on the right side of the frame of the shot just now, as if the microphone had been filmed in, but the degree was very fast, and the black shadow was also very small, plus the gorgeous set distracted him, he was not 1oo% sure......

What to do, if you don't make a sound, you won't make a mistake, but there won't be any performance, and I'm here to express it today! This is also a kind of filming attitude, every detail must be done well!

"Wait!" Thinking of this, Ye Wei shouted.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and they heard him continue: "Can you go back to the shot just now and take a look, it seems to be a goofs shot, and there is a microphone on the right side of the frame." ”

"What? wouldn't it?" Sebnin looked surprised, "We've watched several shots, why haven't ......we shown up?"

It didn't take much effort, and the assistant operated the rewind. In fact, everyone has always wondered who this teenager is, and judging by his clothes, he is a student at the Harvard-Westlake School, and at most a high school student! It is not surprising which friend's child is a big man, and the "assistant" is strange.

Spielberg smiled and watched the suspected goofy scene with everyone, but it was broadcast several times, freeze and freeze, and nothing appeared.

What's going on?Ye Wei's eyes widened, there was obviously a black shadow just now...... But with the facts in front of him, he had no choice but to smile: "Uh, I'm sorry, I read it wrong." ”

"Nothing. "Continue!" Everyone didn't pay much attention, and Sebnin said happily, "I'll just say it." Spielberg looked at Ye Wei and said with a smile: "Young man, you won't see any supernatural things, right?" ”

"Haha, maybe!" Ye Wei smiled, a little nervous in his heart, too bad, not only did he not show his appearance, but he was also embarrassed, he had to find a chance to get it back quickly......

It's just that for a long time, he didn't have a chance, until the set quieted down and entered the mode of booting and shooting, and there was an unexpected situation.

It's a scene between Emily Browning and Liam Aiken, who plays her brother, and when she NG once, she makes a serious request to the crowd on the camera: "I think that teenage boy 'avoids the gaze' because he reminds me of my classmates and it's hard to get into the play......"

The so-called avoidance of sight is to disappear within the sight of an actor.

"Uh...... ok。 Ye Wei was stunned, looked at by everyone, and smiled calmly: "That boy's name is Ye Wei, I'll disappear, you can act well." ”

At the moment, he could only run far, almost leaving the studio, and the shooting area was really dark.

Losing the opportunity to express his views to the big guys, Ye Wei couldn't help but sulk, a little slanderous, Australian girls are really big names, avoid sight, Garbo......

But thinking that she is also just trying to do her own performance, I can't blame her, hey! It's Streep's play that she doesn't need anyone to avoid it.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later, Spielberg's visit was finished, and the group left the studio, Ye Wei did nothing except for a mess, and then was driven aside to stay and eat a doughnut, showing his directorial talent and familiarity with the set.

The big man's itinerary is tight, and then Spielberg went to the Paramount Administration Building, what meeting did he attend, because it involved trade secrets, Ye Wei couldn't continue to follow the left and right, and went back to the Lincoln car first.

When the meeting ended, Spielberg and the others returned to Lincoln and left Paramount headquarters, a morning had passed, but Ye Wei only had the initial expression of "ducks are not good, geese are good", and only relied on his understanding of China.

At noon, Spielberg is going to have lunch with a big man from Universal Pictures to discuss the trip to "Happiness Terminal".

Ye Wei continued to be unable to participate, but stayed in the Lincoln car to eat KFC fast food.

Noon passed again, and in the afternoon, the nightmare had just begun, and Spielberg went to the editing room in West Hollywood to edit "Happiness Terminal", and yet, the old man and his editor Michael Kahn (6 Oscar nominations for Best Editing, 3 wins) still used traditional linear editing!

On the editing table, the film is edited with scissors, edited with a Movio 1A (Movira splinter), and previewed with the KEM platform...... This is how it was done in the 7o years of the last century!

Seriously, Ye Wei couldn't help at all, he could only stand aside and stare dryly, the editing he learned was non-linear editing, it was the advanced digital technology of the 21st century, not this kind of old antique that had long been discontinued, and he couldn't even figure out which of those accessories was which.

And in front of Michael Kahn, he only has to study, and he doesn't know much about "Happiness Terminal", so he can only watch and study while helping to do some handy work.

But the bad thing still happened, just when Ye Wei used a kem to watch a piece of discarded film that was cut out and thrown to the floor, the kem stuck......!

Or maybe it was originally bad, but it just happened to be encountered by him.

Ye Wei watched Spielberg knock and beat at the kem, very embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't ...... it much" Karn on the other side of the editing station shouted: "Don't break the good parts! Remove the good parts, and with the ones that were dismantled before, you can assemble a good one!"

"Goodbye, old man. Boy, I only have 29 good kems left. Spielberg shook his head, paused, and said, "If it all breaks, my film career will be over, because there is no way to edit the film without the machine, and those manufacturers will not produce it." ”

29? Ye Wei was speechless, and he really convinced these two old antiques. At the same time, the more anxious he became, and there was another embarrassment!

When this afternoon passed, the group left the editing room, Ye Wei didn't pull it back, "the clumsy wooden man who occasionally said a few witty words", this is his evaluation of himself, if it wasn't for the witticism, not for the trouble, Spielberg probably forgot who he was.

That's not good!

At this time, it was already night, and the intensive itinerary continued, Spielberg was going to the Roosevelt Hotel in West Hollywood to attend a filmmaker's salon, after all, it was almost this year's Oscars, and the big guys had a lot of activities.

Ye Wei could see that the referee was looking at his watch, and he was about to blow the whistle for the end of overtime, and now he was still behind by a big score! Fortunately, he was allowed to follow the big man and go to see the world together.

At night, the lights were bright, and the group entered the Roosevelt Hotel, and soon came to the luxurious banquet hall where the salon was held.

"Look who that is, haha, the 'unearthed artifacts' are here!"

As they walked in, a middle-aged and elderly white man with a white beard came up smiling and teasing Spielberg as soon as he opened his mouth.

Oh, my God! Ye Wei's heart was suddenly shocked, and he was a little stunned, why didn't anyone sue him, this person would also participate in this salon ......!

George Lucas!!
