Chapter One Hundred and Five. [This is "discrimination"]
For a long time, Yi Feiyang has been very optimistic about those stars, thinking that most of them can't endure hardship, and in order to take a shortcut, he will embark on the road of making.
But Stormy, who finished filming in front of him, gave Yi Feiyang another understanding, maybe he was a little extreme, not all stars are so uncompetitive.
There are rewards and punishments for doing things, which is Yi Feiyang's always the principle of doing things.
As a result, Miss Stormy is publicly praised by Yi Feiyang, and Rabbit Bill is kicked in the ass again by Yi Feiyang.
In the meantime, it's dinner time.
The big guy was tired from filming for a day, and at this time his stomach began to growl.
Yi Feiyang had a message to Henry the elephant before, asking him to bring more food, after all, it was more than ten kilometers away from the nearest supermarket, and now it was cold and snowy, and it was very inconvenient to eat.
But after waiting for almost an hour, there was no sign of the food delivery truck.
Yi Feiyang was a little impatient, and was about to call Henry the Elephant again, when the horn of a car sounded in the snow.
Food delivery trucks, here!
……
"Whew, whew!" Henry the elephant gasped, and he got out of the car with great difficulty, and then knocked on the door with his hand, "Damn, the car skidded just now, or I can come earlier." ”
"It's okay, as long as the food is delivered." Yi Feiyang can ignore these, eating a full stomach is the key.
"Hehe, don't worry, dear Yi, the food I sent this time will ensure that you have a good meal!" With that, Henry the Elephant beckoned to the people around him and opened the car door. Take everything down! “
And then. I saw a lot of food. Including fine wines, which are carried off the food truck like magic.
Ham, lobster, and even cheesecake, champagne, whiskey, and a cold beer......
So many delicacies in this icy and snowy filming location. It was piled up into a hill.
"Ha, yes, I've moved the damn food shop here!" Henry the Elephant laughed, "The purpose is to reward you heroes!" ”
"Bonfire, now we need it!" I don't know who shouted loudly.
"Very good note," Yi Feiyang said, "then light a bonfire, let's have a wonderful bonfire!" ”
"Yi, that's exactly what I'm doing with so many delicacies!" Henry the elephant snapped his fingers, and the people around him got into the car again. But this time, it wasn't the food, the drinks. It's a set of high-end audio equipment.
"See, this is my baby, dear ladies and gentlemen, the exciting ball is about to begin!" Henry the Elephant, like the show's host, announced loudly.
Yi Feiyang wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Originally, he planned to hold a small bonfire party, and then start work when everyone was full of food and drink, after all, there is still a scene after filming. But if you dance, oh my God, these people are crazy, they will get drunk, and they will shoot bird scenes when the time comes.
But the atmosphere has been stirred up by Henry the Elephant, and he is the producer of this play, Yi Feiyang is embarrassed to intercept this decision halfway.
So, with some people suffocating their hands and feet, bonfires were lit, champagne was sprayed with foam, ham and chicken wings were sizzling on the flames, and deafening music rose from the sound.
"Haluha, dear fellows, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and dance as much as you want, it is rare for you all to get together...... Hehe, I'm so happy, I'm not lonely anymore tonight! Henry the Elephant said with a smile on a bottle of beer.
yes, he's not lonely tonight.
In the past, he was already lying on the sofa in his luxurious villa, watching the big TV, drinking red wine, and then watching the talk show that seemed ridiculous, but always made him laugh.
Is the villa too big, or is there too few people in the villa?
There should be too few people!
Ever since his wife and daughter left him, the whole villa has been empty. Sometimes Henry the elephant wakes up in the middle of the night and feels like he's sleeping in a huge coffin, rather than the warmth of his home, as people often say.
The concept of home is already very foreign to Henry the Elephant, and the only thing that accompanies him is those banknotes that look at the gold, and the loneliness that he can't touch or see.
But now, there are so many young people in front of him, so many people drinking and dancing with him, and so many people working together for a dream, which makes Henry the elephant feel very comfortable and warm.
"You can't drink, man." Yi Feiyang came up to him and said, "You have diabetes, don't you?" ”
"Ha, I still have a heart attack, so I can't dance!" Henry the Elephant smiled, "No matter how bad I want to get drunk tonight, it's been a long time since I've been drunk, let alone beer, even Coke, I haven't tasted it in a long time...... I almost forgot what it tasted like, damn diabetes, almost a little bit of sugar, and they all said goodbye to me. ”
Henry the elephant was like a child, and his mouth kept complaining.
Yi Feiyang has never had this disease, and of course he doesn't understand how troublesome and taboo this kind is. But one thing he knows very well is that if a fat man loses the pleasure of eating, then he will suffer more than the average person.
"Yi, you said that if you finish filming this movie, I will dissolve the TOP company, how about it?"
"Dissolution of the company?" Yi Feiyang was stunned.
"Yes, I'm not going to do this anymore, quit completely...... Hehe, those damn guys will be happy to die, and if you go Henry the Elephant, they will be able to show off their power in the underground film market! ”
"How could you suddenly have such a decision?"
"Hehe, you can say that my conscience is condemned, or that I am hypocritically brushing up my reputation, yes, I want to break away from this line of work and use the time I have to help those in need."
"But don't worry, before I dissolve the company, I will sell those eight movie theaters to you according to the contract. That's a good thing, it took me a lot of effort to buy them in the first place! Well, you have to make good use of these treasures. Strive to make a good movie. It's better to win a trophy like the Oscar. I will bless you! ”
"Kao, you're not dead, bless me with a fart!" Yi Feiyang smiled, "Don't worry, friend, even if you don't talk about it, I will ask you when the time comes, but we signed a contract." Isn't it? I have a lot of faith in the fair laws of the United States! ”
"Damn, you put me in a bad mood when you say that...... No matter what, you have to have a toast with me! Henry the Elephant raised his beer and said to Yi Feiyang.
"Just a drink? Okay, I'll accompany you! Yi Feiyang lifted the beer, and after the two collided, they drank it all.
On a snowy day, the cold beer went down, and the whole person immediately felt that he was still alive!
Because my heart is still hot!
……
As Yi Feiyang guessed. Originally a small bonfire party, in the food. With the help of wine and music, it immediately turned into a carnival ball.
The blonde beauty Stormy danced a hot and fragrant dance comparable to the "interview", causing the surrounding animals to scream one by one.
Even Abraham, an old man who had lost all hope in life, could not help but applaud and applaud, drenched his clothes with beer, and sent the young men to whistle together.
Therefore, no matter what kind of man he is, in front of beautiful women, all of them are "exposed".
Stormy was slightly drunk, Abraham Sr. was slightly drunk, and the photographer was slightly drunk......
Yi Feiyang didn't give everyone time to go back to the tent to rest immediately after indulging, but waved his hand, "Turn on!" ”
The shooting that night turned out to be ...... Surprisingly smooth!
Stormy, who originally said that he couldn't shoot crying scenes, actually cried tears, and the photographer was so good at catching the camera under Yi Feiyang's training that it only took six or seven minutes for this set of shots to be filmed.
Marvel!
Yi Feiyang said to himself, these bastards have created a miracle!
Drunk, he was able to shoot the scene so perfectly!
Could it be that if you want to shoot a good scene in the future, you have to get them drunk first?!
……
The next day, the shooting went ahead as usual.
According to the development of the script, the scene where the heroine Rachel comes to the European battlefield to participate in the battle is filmed.
Of course, filming this kind of scene can't do without big scenes, and big scenes need people, costumes, and props. But this feeling is very bad, that is, everything needs to be solved by you.
First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Black Daddy, his selfless dedication and help, so that Yi Feiyang can easily recruit hundreds of "cheap and beautiful" ...... An extras who only manage three meals and do not need to be paid.
These people are all people who live in the same block as the black dad, and they are born with a turbulent heart, like to watch movies and act, so when they heard that the black dad's friend was making a blockbuster, they immediately offered to "show their faces" in the camera.
Why not do such a beautiful thing?
The black dad very generously confiscated a penny of their "referral fee" and introduced them to Yi Feiyang. As a result, there are German soldiers in this play, and there are American soldiers, and the problem of insufficient personnel is directly solved.
Shooting war movies requires guns, airplanes and tanks, military uniforms, and military helmets......
For these props, there is no possibility of opportunism, and Yi Feiyang can only set aside 200,000 US dollars from the shooting funds to serve as a deposit and rental fee for these props...... Even so, Yi Feiyang is still very concerned about this investment, trying to reduce the scale of the war he wants to shoot, tanks, planes, etc., as long as some symbolic machine guns, heavy machine guns and the like.
Of course, as the film capital of the world, Hollywood in the United States has many private companies that rent filming props, these companies are similar to building materials rental companies, as long as you are filming, you will definitely need different kinds of props, and these props are often not necessary to order in person, which is a waste of time and money, so it is cost-effective to rent from them.
In fact, these problems are all easy to solve, as long as you have money, you can do it, but there is one thing that is difficult to do when filming war scenes, and that is gunpowder and explosives.
In the United States, gun control is not very strict, but gunpowder control is extremely strict, and it seems that the Yankees feel that small weapons such as rifles and revolvers have limited lethality, and cannot subvert the government and carry out large-scale terrorist attacks. Gunpowder bombs are different, they are weapons of mass destruction, and throwing any of them to the White House is likely to turn dear Mr. President into a suckling pig.
It's dangerous, so it's strictly regulated!
However, Americans like to shoot big bang scenes, as can be seen from the scenes of "Die Hard" and "First Blood", in order to meet the directors' desire to make blockbusters and cause great damage, they can only introduce strict regulations, and shooting explosion scenes must be recorded!
In other words, when you shoot this kind of scene, you must go to the film association and the local police station to file it, and after research and review by others, you feel that there will be no accidents during the filming process, and there will be no big problems, so you will be stamped and released.
Yi Feiyang filmed this kind of scene for the first time, and he was not very clear about the doorway inside; As for Bill the Rabbit, although he knows a little about it, he also knows a little about it. Fortunately, the cinematographer in charge of this drama has been in other crews and has encountered this kind of war scene, so he knows how to go about the procedure.
With the help of the photographer, Yi Feiyang and his personal lawyer, Louis Carr, drafted an application for "war blast filming" and then had Bill Bunny submit it to the local police department, as well as the Los Angeles Film Association.
I thought that if I went through the normal process, it would be approved quickly.
But it backfired.
The reply received from the film association was that "although the filming location is in the suburbs, it is not safe", and the crew was relocated.
After receiving the application, the nearby police station replied, "The amount of gunpowder required for blasting is too large, and it is required to be reduced to prevent unnecessary accidents".
"What do you mean?" Yi Feiyang was stunned.
As long as others make a reasonable application for filming, they will be approved immediately, but they are picked in the egg.
You must know that Lu Dao said that this application was made by him with reference to the standards of many other war films, and in order to pass the test smoothly, whether it is the filming location or the number of flames, it is much more cautious and smaller than that of the same kind, which is equivalent to filming a TV series, but ...... It was even rejected!
At this time, the photographer pointed out the reason, "Dear director, you shouldn't mark your name on the application, FeiYangYi, it's a Chinese name when you hear it!" ”
I see!
Yi Feiyang understood.
The reason why these guys do this is just because they are Chinese directors and Chinese, so they are probably not at ease, maybe they are not filming with so many explosives, but what kind of conspiracy they are doing......
Yi Feiyang smiled, and smiled bitterly.
Discrimination, today I can be regarded as a teacher! (To be continued......)
