At 9 p.m. on March 31, 2007, Las Vegas was lit up and the sky was shining with stars.

In a conference room at the Four Seasons Hotel, Lee sat at the front, and across from him sat a group of people.

This group of people are all from Huaxia, his assistants, assistant directors, and the people of the film crew.

All are selected, at least some people who know some English.

Li Shengyao was used to using the previous shooting team, and with cost considerations, he naturally brought them in.

Now that most of the filming permits for "The Hangover" have come down, the four male lead actors led by Zach have come over.

Plus Lively Signing, who will be on fire in a few months.

Lee plans to officially start the film tomorrow.

Before turning on the film, he plans to have a good chat with his fellow villagers to avoid some bad problems that will affect the shooting.

These people were all brought by him from Huaxia, in case there was any problem.

When the time comes, it will inevitably be brought to the crew, and they can be said to be both prosperous and losing.

Li Shengyao saw that everyone's eyes were looking over, and then said slowly: "I called everyone over today to have a small meeting, and there are four points, and I want to explain it to you clearly." ”

He continued, "The first point is that no matter what you do here, if it's not in public, you must not be alone with the locals." ”

"This native is not only a woman, but also a man."

Hollywood is Vanity Fair, for the sake of money, those field workers, and low-level actors can do everything.

There have been a lot of Hollywood stars who blackmailed them in the past.

Later, on the set of Hollywood, in order to put an end to this phenomenon.

In group performances, field workers are forbidden to chat with celebrities.

The beautiful name is to keep the stars in shape, but in fact, it is to avoid touching porcelain.

If you are a little famous, like Lively Ly, you must have at least one assistant to follow you when you go to filming, and someone will follow you wherever you go, so as to avoid being alone with other people.

Although the members of Li Shengyao's filming crew are not celebrities and rich people, they have special identities, and if someone jumps out and says that they have been insulted and discriminated against.

Of course, the crew is responsible.

So the best thing to do is not to be alone with locals.

Li Shengyao continued: "The second point is to pay attention to stealing, all our things, whether large or small, must be taken care of, to be convenient, to rest, and to arrange for others to watch. ”

After all, the beautiful country is the most popular Guo Jia of Zero Far Shopping.

There are really a lot of petty thefts here, and the main thing is that the whole people don't care.

The cost of being caught is very low, not to mention the rate of sanctions, and even the most basic moral condemnation is very rare.

Just click on a zero-distance purchase, or grab a video of theft.

Looking carefully at the messages of netizens in the beautiful country, more than seventy percent of them are questioning the victims, why they put important things on their bodies, in the car, and why they brought them out.

The vast majority of them don't see it as a moral event.

More people think that the robbers and thieves are in difficulty at home, or they are psychologically unhealthy, and they consider it from the position of these people.

It is difficult for the Chinese to understand.

"The third point, you must pay attention to the tone of your voice, I bought a voice recorder for all of you, turn it on if you have nothing to do, don't give people a chance."

This is similar to the first point.

Don't give other people a chance to be mad, people in a beautiful country have no bottom line, for the sake of money, they will seize every opportunity.

The tone was slightly wrong, and a big hat of discrimination was buttoned up.

This is the real reason why the rich stars here are so amiable.

"Fourth, don't be interviewed by media reporters."

On this point, Lee Shengyao is worried that others will dig a hole for the media.

As China becomes stronger and stronger, with the approach of the Yanjing \ Olympics \ Games.

Xifang Guojia, led by the beautiful country, is gradually worried that they will target the Chinese more and more from 07 onwards.

It's best to be careful at this time.

If he can, he still hopes to return to China to shoot, and it will be about the same after two or three years.

When the others heard Li Shengyao's words, most of them didn't understand very much, and stared at him blankly with a pair of big eyes.

At this time, the name of the light \ tower of the beautiful country is still very loud, and many people feel that the air here is sweet and the people are kind.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao immediately explained the facts and reasoned, and after some words, more people finally believed his words.

However, there are still a few people who are confused and can see that they don't understand.

Li Shengyao waved his hand, "The four points I said are the iron rules of the rules, you all keep them in mind, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on them, if anyone does not abide by them, then I'm sorry, go back to China." ”

If you come to work in a beautiful country, the salary will naturally be higher.

When he heard that he was going to rush back to China, whether he understood it or not, he nodded nervously, saying that he understood and must remember Director Li's request.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao clapped his hands, "Okay, remember everything, they supervise each other, and there are prizes for each other." ”

……

At ten o'clock the next morning, in front of a small building on the outskirts of Las Vegas, a group of men and women gathered.

They are none other than the crew of "The Hangover".

There is no need for a desk, no need for a fruit incense jar, it is Director Li who holds the microphone, then says some nonsense, and then announces the official launch of "The Hangover".

In this round of applause, the movie started.

All of them immediately got busy.

The biggest difference between filming in a beautiful country and filming in China should be that it is very quiet here, and there is a lot of noise in China.

When Li Shengyao is in China, he will also discuss with the assistant director and the photographer how to shoot the next day's film, and will come up with a schedule, and what scenes to shoot the next day will be notified in advance.

And here in the beautiful country, there will also be a schedule, or a notice table.

Compared with the domestic one, the schedule of the beautiful country is much more detailed.

Almost everyone in the crew, actors, field workers, lighting assistants, and camera assistants, all carefully explained the next day's work.

The crew and staff, as long as they are people who come over, basically everyone has something to do, and they also know what they are doing.

Under this arrangement, the set is relatively more orderly and much quieter.

At this time, the actors were putting on makeup, and Lee Shengyao was planning to shoot those irrelevant scenes first.

For example, one of the male leads, the groom's official marriage scene, such a scene is simple.

Not only to the actors, but also to his domestic filming team to adapt to the time.

Li Shengyao noticed that actors like Zack did not communicate, and everyone either cooperated with the makeup artist or quietly closed their eyes to recuperate.

The field workers all avoided the actors, and they walked quietly.

This is very common on Hollywood sets, where the little stars sit quietly, and the big stars have their own RVs, and when they have nothing to do, they immediately go back to the RV to lie down, and they basically don't communicate when they are resting.

Does this mean that there are no script workshops or actors?

Of course not.

It's just that they put the sparring in working hours.

Hollywood movies do more preparation before they are officially filmed.

Filming in China, the director gives the actor the script, and then explains his requirements, and lets the actor play freely.

In Hollywood, the director's job is comparatively heavier.

The first step in shooting on a Hollywood movie set is the director's positioning.

All the actors, lighting, and photography have been seen, and the director will move the actors who will shoot next, one by one, telling them how to move, how to keep up, how to design, and what angle to choose, which are considered by the assistant directors of lighting and photography.

Generally, after the director is in place, the actors are arranged to rehearse.

At this time, the director will stand again, watch them rehearse, and then adjust it a little bit, and after achieving the result he wants, he will start shooting.

It may seem like it takes more time to shoot, but Hollywood should be relatively less NG.

Some Hong Kong Island's action directors have compared, and Hollywood's film shooting schedule is similar to that of Hong Kong Island.

Soon after, when the actors finished putting on their makeup, Lee then clapped his hands and called all the actors over, as well as the gaffer, photographer, and assistant director.

He then began to move, and all the important characters said what positions and movements.

The others didn't quite understand, and he continued to speak as he walked.

Re-move twice,

When the big guys understood, he stepped aside and let the actors rehearse.

The four male leads, as well as Lively and the ensemble, immediately rehearsed.

That's when the actors communicate.

They rehearsed four times in a row, and at this time it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning, and Lee Shengyao corrected some minor problems, and it felt almost done, and then it was announced that the official filming was about to be made.

The lighting and photography they had already thought about, and the actors finished their makeup and immediately went to the official shooting.

This scene is the groom official marriage of one of the male protagonists, and the four of them hurried to the wedding scene, changed their clothes, and then celebrated together.

Among them, he was wearing a donkey hat and a green grassland above his head, and the glasses brother who was originally a boiling sheep and sheep would angrily scold his girlfriend and break up on the spot.

The plot is not difficult to watch.

But it is still a little difficult to shoot, mainly because the wedding scene is crowded.

The cinematographer first covered the entire wedding with a wide-angle lens, and then gradually locked the lens on the four male protagonists.

There is nothing wrong with such a choice.

Lee sat behind the director's monitor, staring at the small screen earnestly.

He soon spotted the unexpected.

There was a group performer who walked around and didn't follow his previous position requirements.

This person probably wanted to rub the camera and walked towards the four male protagonists, because of this person's unexpected position, even the people around the male protagonists were a little confused.

Li Shengyao did not immediately call it to stop, and when the four male actors were finished, he pointed out the problem, and then arranged for the actors to reshoot.

And so the shooting began.

Probably rehearsed before, NG is indeed much less.

Such a scene with many characters was filmed five times.

Lee Shengyao is very satisfied with the filming progress.

At this time, when it was lunch time, Lee Shengyao and the actors went to get their lunch boxes together.

In the crew of "The Hangover", there are only five actors who are qualified to order their own lunch, namely the four leading actors, and Lively Ly.

Everyone else eats chicken thighs, steak cola.

Mr. Lee naturally eats Chinese food, ordering sour and spicy shredded potatoes, minced eggplant, and Lively ordering pasta, as well as a cup of coffee.

The field workers had already prepared a few small tables for the director.

Lee brought a small stool and sat down, and Lively sat next to him.

"Li, your dish seems to be very spicy."

The vast majority of beautiful Chinese people don't like to eat spicy food.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Yes, I like spicy food." ”

Lively smiled, opened the lunch box, and ate, "I apologize to you, I underestimated you before, not only are you very well scripted, but you know the Hollywood way of filming, and you are much better than the crew directors I have been in before." ”

"I've seen some directors who don't know very well about their plays, how to move, what emotions are needed, he doesn't quite understand."

"You're different, you know that very well."

"We quickly understood the effect you wanted, and it didn't take much effort to follow you to film."

I don't know what emotions I need, I don't know how to move, isn't such a director the king of sunglasses?

does not deny that Wang Sunglasses is indeed a genius of light and shadow, but it is actually very painful to be an actor for him.

It is up to the actor to find his own feelings.

Except for Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui doesn't like such aimless shooting.

And Director Li benefited from the fact that he wrote the script and watched the movie in his previous life, so he knew very well what kind of shots he needed.

Of course he wouldn't explain that to Lively Ly.

"Little meaning, I said it, you give yourself a chance, and you will definitely not regret it."
