Chapter 99: Off-market factors
"Buzz!"
The film is projected through a projector on a white screen, creating a visible light curtain that begins to play footage from Dieng as John activates it.
It's just that this photographer is obviously in the crowd, the air is dull and hot, but cold sweat is beginning to break out on his back.
He clenched the tips of his fingers, and even though he had smoked a few cigarettes in a row, it couldn't ease his anxiety.
Damn time brand cigarettes, doesn't it say that there are blessings?
Dion cursed a few words in his heart, and then looked at Tang De, only to see that his side face was shrouded in light and shadow, and his face was expressionless.
"Whew." He took a deep breath and decided to leave everything to God, maybe he was lucky that the adjusted lens did not show a wide range of shadows, so that he could push the problem to Donde.
With this thought in mind, Dion raised his eyes to look at the projection, just like everyone else.
Through the picture, you can see the movement of the camera and the sharp and beautiful dance posture of the dance team.
There was no problem, the light shone right over everyone's heads, and Zeta-Jones's face flickered brightly, representing her sin and attitude.
So everyone continued to look backwards, and although there was no music in this clip, everyone was familiar with the song.
After all, I listen to it dozens of times a day, so someone can even hum the rhythm and act as background music.
Humming and humming, everyone saw that the camera began to advance slowly, and then Zeta-Jones's face slowly approached the camera, and only the upper body of the whole person was in the frame, dancing with the changing lights.
However, at some point, the humming stopped, and everyone watched the clip in silence.
When the clip was over, Don waved his hand for John to play it again, and everyone watched it again.
There was still an unexpected silence, only Dieng gritted his teeth and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.
Because everyone can see that in the picture, from the perspective of the upward shot, the shadow under Zeta Jones's bangs is integrated with the thick eyelashes, coupled with the dark eyeballs, the whole person seems to be wearing a T-shaped helmet, which is very ugly.
Obviously, this kind of picture is exactly what Don De said, and even more serious. If Dieng, as the main photographer, did not know the consequences of doing so, he would not have believed this sentence himself.
This time, the distrustful gaze that Tang De experienced was focused on Dion, and he couldn't help but swallow his throat.
"Haha...... Ahem...... I'm sorry, but it looks like I really neglected ......" He feigned an embarrassed smile and tried to fool around, but in the eyes of everyone, he looked like a clown with poor acting skills.
Don stood up and looked at Dieng.
"Don, let's shoot again, this time I know the angle of the camera, I can't make a mistake."
Seeing Dieng's attitude of turning big things into small things and small things into small things, Tang De walked straight past him: "Phimos, you come to replace Dieng." ”
"Okay!" A camera assistant replied with an excited expression.
“fxxk! Don, you can't do that! Seeing that he was squeezed out of the crew, Dieng said angrily: "I am the photographer." ”
He just took two steps forward, and the next second, he saw Tang De turn his head and stare at his eyes: "Shut up!" Dieng! You are no longer there. At least during my time as a director, you weren't a photographer anymore. Also, I suggest you go to a doctor for an open scoop surgery! Clean up those rocks in your head! ”
In his words, he was referring to a popular surgery in the last century, in which the doctor would open the patient's skull and remove a stone from it to prove that the person's stupidity had been removed.
The funny thing, however, is that these doctors are all pretended to be crooks, and this surgery is just an IQ tax.
But people are still happy to find doctors to treat their stupidity, and even perform stupid surgery in front of everyone, as if doing so means that they are really not stupid.
If it is described as an idiom, it is perfect for covering your ears and stealing the bell.
Dion naturally understood what Tang De meant, and he wanted to refute it, but was shocked by Tang De's fierce eyes.
It wasn't until Tang De's back was getting farther and farther away that he shouted unwillingly: "I took the shot according to the angle you specified!" It's not my problem! ”
If he had said this before, some people might have believed it, but now, after Dieng repeatedly emphasized that he was shooting according to the lens prescribed by Tang De, he still presented such a picture.
Everyone could only shrug their shoulders and follow Tang De to leave, expressing their position.
And when Dion was the only one left in the room, he first kicked the stool away with remorse, and then squatted on the ground with his head covered and roared angrily.
It's a pity that no one cares about his feelings anymore.
This episode passed quickly, and the crew started filming again, but this time everyone had a new understanding of Tang De's truthfulness.
So they didn't dare to slack off, and they all took out the most serious state and cooperated with the filming of the movie.
So when Pentart received the news and rushed back from the hospital, the key prison dance had already been filmed, and even the next scene had been carried out.
He didn't say anything, just waited until the evening to check the film, and took John and the others to re-watch the footage taken today, as well as the footage shot by Dieng.
When filming started the next day, director Rob returned from the hospital with gauze wrapped around his arm and resumed directing and filming.
It's just that everyone found that Dieng was missing, as if he had left the crew. But no one said anything about it, this crew was formed temporarily, everyone didn't know each other, and they really couldn't talk about any feelings.
Therefore, any decision, as long as it is beneficial to the shooting, is fine.
In this way, at the same time as the filming of the "Chicago" movie, Jimmy's Heinz commercial was also successfully completed.
At this moment, the director Greta who he found according to Tang De's instructions is cleaning up the garbage in the model room on the set with the crew members, and there is no directorship at all.
"Greta!" Jimmy called the blonde over and said with a smile, "I have to say, you're doing a great job." ”
Although Jimmy had no confidence in the film when he met Greta in person, he found that Donde did a good job of filming the film, but after watching the whole filming process on the spot, he found that Donde did have a good eye.
This young female director firmly controls everything in the crew, including lenses, lighting, and field affairs.
Although he was a little immature, and he had to repeat it several times when he spoke to make his requirements clear, the final effect was beyond expectations.
Jimmy himself laughed at the hilarious clips, let alone the audience.
Heinz will definitely be pleased with this ad.
"Thank you." Greta humbly expressed her gratitude: "In fact, this is my first time as a director...... And thank you for giving me the opportunity. ”
"Haha, don't do this, Greta, this is not my decision......" Jimmy saw Greta's inquiring gaze after speaking, and immediately changed his words: "It's not my decision alone, I and Don De are good brothers, I originally planned to find him, but he recommended you to me." ”
Don didn't want to let the CAA know that he had opened two other companies, so Jimmy was the head of Supreme Ideas.
As for whether CAA can learn from major advertising agencies?
There is basically no intersection between the two, so don't worry about this, Tang De's main purpose is not to cover up the supreme idea, but to cover up the angelic declaration.
After all, what he is doing now is to pry the corner of CAA, and if he lets CAA know, there will be no good fruit to eat.
And Greta immediately realized when she heard Donde's name, she said why there was a brand to name her own little-known field manager to be the director, it turned out to be Don!
"So this script ......"
"It's also from the hand of Donde." Jimmy unravels Greta's mysteries.
"Oh, it's unbelievable!" Greta smiled in surprise: "I thought it was written by a professional comedy writer." ”
Although the ad is full of vulgar episodes, it is not offensive, but laughs from beginning to end, and will also raise the desire to buy Heinz ketchup at the last minute.
Greta thinks this ad will definitely go viral.
At the same time, I am also more grateful for Tang De's recommendation, and after the advertisement is broadcast, I will be equivalent to having a complete work, which is very beneficial to my future career.
"Looks like I'm going to have to thank Don personally." Greta had Donde's mobile phone number before, and planned to invite Donde out for dinner in a few days.
"He's a bit busy right now, so I'd better wait a week to see him." Jimmy kindly reminded him, and Greta immediately nodded, "No problem." ”
It's just that when Greta contacted Donde a week later, she didn't get a positive answer, because the crew is now experiencing new problems, but this time not internally, but externally.
Dieng, the cinematographer, gave an interview to the newspaper after leaving the crew, and claimed that the "Chicago" crew had left an indelible shadow on him, and that he had been bullied, verbally violent, and treated unfairly within the crew.
This news is undoubtedly a bit exciting, and it has become the hottest news on the major entertainment pages in just one day.
After all, the movie "Chicago" has the blessing of Broadway fame, although it is not a big-budget movie, but there have been many people who have paid attention to it.
Some practitioners and passers-by were debating whether Dieng's words were true, and of course, most believed them and began to denounce the "Chicago" crew.
At the same time, the top management of Miramax was also harassed by various journalists, and every day people from different newspapers came to ask about what was happening in the crew.
Fortunately, Tang De was in a prison in New York, and reporters couldn't get in.
Otherwise, those hyena-like guys will definitely make a mess of the scene, and maybe even leak the footage.
Director Rob deliberately found a time to face reporters and clarify Dion's sewage.
However, self-proof of innocence can never be convincing, and those reporters always have tricky questions and bizarre logic waiting for Rob, so that the director, who has always been mild-mannered, is rarely angry when he returns from the interview.
It was in such an atmosphere that the crew began to become depressed, and everyone was thinking about things off the field, and mistakes were frequent during filming.
