No matter how reluctant Dieng is, the cinematography of this film is still him, but now there is one more person who can dictate his work.

Director's deputy and cinematographer, Donde.

In the days that followed, the crew members could often see director Rob and Don De talking and laughing. Zeta-Jones and Richard also often joined in, and several people discussed how to make the actors more attractive during the shooting of the camera.

Renee, the other heroine, of course, couldn't stand this situation that seemed to isolate her, and she was not to be outdone during the filming break.

"Hey! Donde. Hey! Rob. Hey! Richard! Renee's smile has the charm of the heroine in the play, both amorous and reserved, as if she has not come out of the play at all.

She greeted all three men, but ignored Zeta-Jones, which had to make Zeta-Jones raise an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about? The next scene should be my solo......" Renee smiled brightly, the corners of her mouth curved widely, and the apple muscles moved upward, like a puppet doll everywhere in the United States.

"We ...... Talking about women. Rob shrugged, his expression a little playful.

"Woman......" Renee turned sideways and reached out to slowly lift the silver glittering skirt on her legs, revealing her white thighs: "Is this kind of woman?" ”

Don De and Rob glanced at each other, and Richard couldn't help but whistle, "It's so sexy, Renee, I can't wait to see you dance." ”

"Haha, huh?" Renee smugly glanced at Zeta Jones and found that she was in a cold face, and her mood suddenly improved.

"Then you have to look forward to it, I have a lot of work to practice this dance." Renee was right, she had to work too hard for the smooth lines of her muscles.

After filming "BJ Single Diary" last year, she has been losing weight and fitness, and she has to add dance rehearsals, so it can be said that she has not relaxed every day.

"But what are you talking about women......" she turned the subject back to after revealing herself, only this time the tone of her voice finally returned to normal.

"I'm talking about how to shoot women well...... To be honest, I really didn't expect that, Donde, you are so young and have so much experience. Rob had an expression of disbelief, because Tang De had told him a lot of dry goods just now.

Including how to make a woman look more beautiful and sexy through the lens, and how to change a woman's appearance through lighting to affect her temperament.

After listening, Rob felt that he had really picked up a treasure, his play was all women, which was just right for Tang De to play.

So this also made him more curious about Donde's previous experience.

"I used to shoot sexy underground portraits of women." Tang De said his experience lightly, and the life of taking adult photos of female models has become a kind of talking point now.

"True or false?" Renee and Zeta-Jones were surprised.

"100% true."

"No wonder ......" Zeta Jones thought thoughtfully, she had watched the footage that Tang De had taken for herself before, and it was indeed sexual tension enough, it was a feeling of hormonal explosion, and even her mouth was a little dry after watching it, not to mention those men.

These images are undoubtedly more in line with the appearance of Chicago's drunken gold fans.

When Renee heard this, she hurriedly said, "Then you have to take a good picture of me next...... Make my legs, my hands, my face look better! ”

"Am I filming again?" Donde looked at Rob.

Rob hesitated for a moment, but nodded after seeing Renee's longing eyes, "Yes...... That's right, it's better for Donde, come on, I'll let Dieng shoot the co-camera for you. ”

"Okay."

Dieng scratched his head irritably, and Tang De, is it really necessary for me, a photographer, to continue to do it?

Directly let it to Tang De.

Filming soon began for Renee's scene, which is her own monologue on stage, and the set team arranged for her to weave through various mirrors to represent her narcissism.

But during the shooting, Renee was just halfway through the jump, but Tang De suddenly stopped: "It's not right...... Director...... This is not right. ”

"What's wrong?" Rob frowned, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the scene in front of him, it was the same as a rehearsed dance.

Renee's dancing is both powerful and beautiful, and the dark stage is neatly arranged in mirrors, reflecting her solo dancing.

But Tang De shook his head: "This scene is not as beautiful as other scenes. ”

There are a lot of classic dance scenes in the movie "Chicago", such as the group dance of a prison woman murdering her husband, such as painting Renee Nian puppet makeup and having Richard play the puppet dance.

There is also a group dance in the courtroom, where reality and dreams are constantly switching.

These dances are highly aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable in both choreography and scene arrangement.

But there are also a few dances in the film that are not amazing enough, such as the current mirror dance.

In Tang De's view, it is mainly because of photography and scene layout, photography wastes the carrier of mirrors, and there is no commendable lens design at all. In the scene, those mirrors are also too neat and uniform, and do not highlight the focus.

The whole dance is supported by the charm of the actors' postures, which makes it not impressive enough to watch.

This may be one of the reasons why "Chicago" did not win the Oscar for Best Cinematography, and it is not used well to make use of such a unique scene, preferring flat shots.

So when he was in charge of the shooting, he pointed it out immediately, even though the storyboard had already been approved by the director.

But again, Tang De can't tolerate imperfect works in his hands.

"But it's the best choreography we've ever made." The stage teacher walked over with a little embarrassment on his face.

You must know that mirror dancing is the most difficult to choreograph, or any picture related to mirrors is very difficult to do, just because of the mirror reflection, it is easy to goof.

"That's right, Tang De, I think this mirror dance is okay at the moment." Rob also agrees with the choreography.

Seeing this, Dieng also agreed: "Every scene of this movie has been carefully discussed and studied...... You haven't done choreography before, so you probably don't know much about it. ”

The rest of the crew turned their eyes to hear what Tang De was going to do.

Renee also sat on the edge of the stage, dangling her legs, staring at Donde.

Dieng was very happy, he didn't expect Tang De, this kid, to be so arrogant, you must know that the stage art is the soul of this movie, and the effect of daring to veto the stage art is not good, which is equivalent to challenging the entire crew.

Even because this stage teacher is one of the stage choreographers of this stage play in Chicago, he is equivalent to challenging this classic Broadway play by himself.

Dion curled the corners of his mouth, wanting to see how he ended, and the next moment, Don got up and left the camera and came to the stage.

"Tang De, what are you doing here?" Rob asked out loud that time should not be wasted in order to avoid cost increases.

Tang De didn't reply, just put the mirror back up according to his own ideas.

"Well, it seems that he is very persistent." Dieng shrugged and smirked.

Then he saw someone walk in through the doorway, a man in a white shirt and black tie, wearing a suit and leather shoes even in summer, walking briskly to the crowd, it was the film's producer, Bert Hurley.

"Why did you stop shooting? Rob, we're only renting this venue until twelve o'clock tonight! It's already eight o'clock, and if we don't finish filming, we'll have to pay an extra day! Bert spoke very directly, frowning enough to catch a fly.

Without waiting for Rob to explain, Dieng added fuel and vinegar first: "Mr. Bert, it's nothing, it's just that the assistant director said that the rehearsal of this mirror dance scene was not good enough, and he wanted to temporarily change the direction of the mirror." ”

"What the hell!" Bert scolded: "When did you have an assistant director?" Rob, you have to explain it to me! Why is there an extra assistant director temporarily, do you know that this is money? And why did he change the dance that had already been rehearsed, was he Spielberg or Cameron, so much on the spot! ”

"Belt, don't worry!" Rob hurriedly dissuaded Bert from continuing his frenzy.

Colleen, who was watching not far away, trotted over to help and said, "Oh, Mr. Bert, I think it's not too late to see what the assistant director thinks first." ”

"What?" Bert frowned, and was about to reply, but someone came over to help Don De speak.

It was art director John Meyer, who also advised: "Don't worry, Belt, Donde has helped us solve a lot of problems, and I believe he is not joking." ”

Dion tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and secretly snorted coldly.

Damn, why are so many people favoring that guy.

Dieng glanced up at Tang De, who was still busy with himself, and was really a little angry.

And when Bert saw so many people helping Tang De speak, he couldn't continue to get angry for a while, so he could only sigh: "Okay, okay!" Since you all believe in him so much, tell me who he really is. What did I just hear? Donde? ”

"Yes, it's Donde." Rob explains, "He was originally a deputy photographer, but I think his skills and thinking are fantastic...... Uh, so I promoted him to deputy, part-time photographer. ”

"Understood." Bert glanced at Dion and asked, "And where is he now?" Not...... Donde, it's the ...... in my impression."

"He's on stage, look, he's almost set up the mirror." John lifted his chin and nodded in the direction of the stage.

Following his line of sight, Bert turned his head to look at Donde, who also jumped off the stage and made eye contact with him.

But just when Dieng was expecting Belte to reprimand Don and then kick out the crew. found that Bert paused for a moment, and then seemed to recognize Tang De's face, slapped his thigh and said, "Tang De!" It turned out to be you! Tang Dynasty! ”

"What?" The others immediately became confused, not knowing what Belte was shouting.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot to tell you! Bert's face, which was still a little angry, was completely changed to another look at this time, he walked to Tang De's side cordially, took his hand and introduced to everyone: "He is Don, the Don who just won the MTV Best Director of the Year!" ”

"Don?" Everyone spoke out with doubts.

"Yes!" Bert smiled: "Now music magazines all over the United States have regarded his music videos as classics, and everyone is talking about his work, even Cameron is saying that his ideas are great!" ”
