Chapter 75: Have a plan
The scene in the room was quickly completed, after which the crew moved to a crossroads in the Bronx the next day.
Because they are going to complete the street concert here, the CAA has negotiated with the New York City government to close the road.
So after coming to the crossroads, Tang De called a few people to raise his director position into the air with a rocker arm, and picked up the horn to command one by one.
"Props group, the vehicles should be placed in an orderly manner! Move that yellow car to the side, it will block the path of the crowd. ”
"Art, get the spray ready, blue and green for the people on the left, and red and yellow for the people on the right."
"Don't crowd! Light, stop your movements, go back! That's right, this is the location! Give me a stage light for a concert! ”
"When the helicopter appears in a while, Avril you jump on the roof of the car again, and the landing point is that pothole!"
"Be sure to stay safe! All security measures were checked for me three times! ”
"Is the group performance training ready? José, I would use ABCD to distinguish the four directions, don't make a mistake! ”
This scene will not only have Hangweiya, but also some pictures combined with post-production special effects.
The special effects company that Tang De found already had someone on site to help the crew set up the scene, because the special effects mainly revolve around Avril, so she is very busy now.
In addition, there are a large number of group performances on the scene, but fortunately, everyone's professionalism is very high, and even the group performances can complete their performances in peace.
Of course, Jose's training and Donde's guidance are also indispensable.
However, just when the crew was in full swing, there were a lot of onlookers outside, and some women who had finished shopping watched this rare big scene and chatted about their parents.
And one of the women with long hair and glasses couldn't help blinking when she saw Tang De, then took off her glasses and wiped them, and put them back on her face.
"Fanny, what are you doing?" The round-faced woman with a shopping bag next to her asked.
"Look, Cagalli, I've got some eyes, is that the eldest son of the Norton family?"
Cagalli frowned, stood on tiptoe and looked at the figure holding a horn in the air from a distance, and then said in a surprised tone: "Really, it seems to be him, what is his name...... Don ......"
"Donde! I remember the last time I went to Carmela's house and asked about her son, she said he was just working as a photographer. Fanny was a little incredulous, this was completely different from her impression of the work of a photographer, which was obviously a director, or a big director who managed a lot of people.
"I didn't expect them to hide so much, Fanny, it looks like I'm going to invite Mrs. Carmella next time I go shopping." Cagalli flirted with her earrings, which were a little cheap in terms of workmanship, but that didn't delay them from being gold.
"Yes, it looks like the 'Beautiful Women' Club is also going to let Carmela join, to be honest, I thought their family was very down, and they couldn't afford to pay the fee when they first arrived in our community."
Each community in the United States has its own small organizations, especially the various gatherings formed by women, and often only recognized families are eligible to participate.
And the so-called qualifications naturally depend on the status and income of the men in the family.
"This is America, Fanny, and the down-and-out may be able to turn around one day. Look at this handsome face, I want to introduce my daughter to him. Oh my God, there is also the trapeze scene, it must be a big production. ”
Hearing this, Fanny also raised her eyebrows: "You're right, maybe I should also let my girl go to Carmela to sit more." ”
Cagalli frowned and looked at Fanny, "I remember your daughter is only 16 this year. ”
"So what, wouldn't it be good to know more and cultivate feelings."
The two faced each other, not to be outdone, and then turned around and left with a "hum".
As for the crew, Tang De had already picked up the microphone, and after scanning around and finding no problem, he shouted: "Ready to start shooting!" ”
Greta, who heard the command, pointed the board at the camera and shouted, "Game 65, action!" ”
"Smack!"
Crowds, smoke and buzzing music make up the lively scene of the Cross Street.
The ensemble followed José's instructions around the stage made of vehicles, cheering and raising the spray in their hands, letting the colors float in the air like miniature gifts.
Avril and the actor were standing on the vehicle, playing the guitar and singing.
When they reached the climax, Tang De held the rocker arm below, steadily controlled the camera through the center of the crowd, over the head, and then let the camera fall on the faces of the two, recording the passionate expressions.
The process is fast and precise.
Greta and Jose, who were watching the scenes, exclaimed in their hearts, knowing that this kind of shot usually needs to be shot several times in a row to find the right positioning.
Often even the most stable rail car footage has to be repeated several times, but in Tang De's case, this fact is completely subverted, just using his eyes to locate the most suitable route, and it is really a success.
When several people watched the replay around the monitor, they couldn't help but admire again and again.
"It's so steady, Don, you're an iron hand!"
"That's right, director, look at this shot, the arc is so big but it doesn't shake at all, it's so beautiful!"
"I've been through a lot of crews, but I've never seen such a powerful camera movement."
Tang De clapped his hands to stop many sycophants: "Shut up, shoot again, there is a group performance here in the wrong position, blocking the camera slightly." ”
"Okay, Director!" Everyone nodded in unison and continued to get busy.
Although in their opinion, the group performance did not delay anything at all, but Tang De is a perfectionist, and everyone knows it.
Soon, the scene on the cross street was also filmed to an end.
Because the road closure is limited, Tang De and they can't delay the slightest.
And this scene is even more difficult, the budget is limited, Tang De can only shoot twice, if both times are wrong, then they will become very passive.
Therefore, Tang De tightened the clockwork again, but this time he tightened the clockwork of the whole crew!
"Hurry up, don't rub it off, B3 is still a gift away!"
"Glass! I've said it twice! If you don't remove it, I'll smash it with your head! ”
"SHXT, retract your head and hide it behind the wall for me! Don't be a sensational! ”
"Now start the drill, and those who hear the command immediately raise their ......"
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was still bright and the sky was still bright, the group performers and passers-by on the street suddenly saw a grand and different kind of ceremony.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of salutes erupt from behind the windows of the buildings on both sides of the intersection, accompanied by a smoke of rich colors, as if the entire building has been transformed into a giant gift box, which will bless the whole world.
And the smoke drifted into the air, and suddenly the sky of the entire street became magical.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and exclaimed, "Wow! ”
For a while, everyone started to discuss.
"It's just amazing!"
"I didn't expect to see such a blooming gift, so cool and creative!"
"Wow, I can't wait to see it in action."
"Yes, I heard that this is a music video, and the singer is called Avril."
"Then I'm definitely going to support it, just for this shot!"
"Yes, so do I."
And passers-by on the side of the street are also amazed.
"Is this an event? Why is the whole building spewing out! ”
"It's like I'm shooting a music video, it's so beautiful!"
"Isn't it really making a movie? It's spectacular! Oh, my God. ”
At this time, in the crowd, a passing reporter raised his camera to quickly record the colorful fog and salutes in the sky.
"Click! Click! Give it a go! ”
He felt that it would be a good news report, so he kept filming it, not wanting to miss any details.
At the same time, Tang De finished watching the monitor in a serious atmosphere, and he stretched out his finger: "Slow down here for half a second, slow down a little faster here." Also, the smoke here isn't thick enough, and I'm going to make the whole street smog. ”
"And Avril, you should be standing at this landing point, not in the wrong place!"
Avril nodded: "I'm sorry......"
"Don't be sorry, remember, then change, it's as simple as that, and so are you!" Tang De's serious gaze swept over everyone: "We only have one last chance, remember our position, go!" go! go! ”
The clock soon came to six, and when the sun burned its last rays at the edge of the world, New York entered the time ruled by the moon.
And Tang De also successfully completed the shooting, and after telling Carl to keep an eye on the field lady, he returned to his own neighborhood.
Avril wanted to go to the bar with him, but unfortunately her agent came and called her away, because they had received an invitation to a music festival and had to fly to Chicago tonight.
As a last resort, Avril could only kiss Tang De passionately for ten minutes in the makeup car, and only reluctantly left after being urged by her agent a few times.
When Tang De walked to the door of his house, he suddenly heard bursts of laughter in the living room, as if someone had come to visit.
Don didn't want to bother dealing with these guests, so he sat in the used car that Tom sent back, and took his phone to send messages to Avril and Scarlett.
When the car was sent back, Don De specially checked it, there was no mess, it was even cleaner than when he lent it out, and the fuel tank was full.
I have to say that Don De likes to deal with people like Tom and it is effortless.
Just like Jimmy, although his mouth is a little broken and he is a little, he never has to worry about being perfunctory in what he is handed over.
He had basically ascertained the situation in the past two days, and Lilina was indeed the first to receive the call.
The reason is also very simple, because she once printed some business cards containing personal information and addresses, which are found everywhere in the family company, and maybe someone picked them up.
And her family is also very easy to investigate, her parents are ordinary workers, they have lived in the community for decades, and they can immediately find out about her family if they mention it to the neighbors.
The reason why the consulting company can call her accurately is because she habitually introduces her name first.
So as long as you make a few more phone calls, you can always run into Lilina.
But the consulting company didn't expect that just a simple tentative phone call would let Lilina go to Don De and take the initiative to denounce it.
After all, in the past, when I met such a girl, I would agree after hesitation, and then secretly make a little money from the company.
It's a pity that they misjudged the supreme idea, or they didn't expect that Tangde also has the company Angel Declaration.
But Tang De knew that this was just a fluke, as long as the consulting company continued to investigate, sooner or later it would find out the Angel Declaration.
But he didn't want to hide anything, it just happened.
So how to rely on this short information gap window to fish out the company behind it?
Tang De snapped his fingers for a while, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
And finally pause his thoughts after thinking back to the Heinz Group.
Henry...... That's a great idea. Don stopped his finger and smiled, it was clear that he already had a suitable solution in his mind.
