"Cards! It's wrong again! ”

"Cards! Lamplight! Why can't the lights come on? ”

"Cards! Prop goofs! Forget it, take a break! ”

Director Rob's performance on the set compared to Donde's performance is simply the difference between angels and devils, he has never scolded people, and he has never made a strong statement.

It seems that everyone is in harmony, but the shooting has never been able to go forward, and it is clear that the last two dance scenes are missing, but every time the shooting goes wrong.

Don De knows this situation because everyone's attention is no longer on the movie.

But as an assistant director, he couldn't always convene a meeting to encourage people, so he could only come to Rob's side when he went out to breathe the wind and said, "Rob, you should cheer everyone up." ”

"You're right, Donde." Rob nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's also the first time I've encountered such a difficult media, and I'm a little uncomfortable for a while. ”

"It's normal, they're just a bunch of shameless bitches." Donde didn't have the slightest good word about the Hollywood reporter: "They don't care about the truth, they just want to arouse the emotions of readers and incite confrontation." Only in this way can they have popularity and sales. ”

"It's funny, when we make a movie that satirizes the manipulation of the media and the law, and Dieng is now a practitioner of reality, and it turns out that the environment is no different from Chicago in the fifties and sixties, isn't it?"

Rob was also a little crying and laughing when he said this, the movie became a reality, and this extremely ironic scene would happen to him.

Tang De also laughed and teased: "No, you should be glad that we are not those dead men in the movie, we can still refute and speak." We can't let Dieng's curse become a reality. ”

"That's right, we can't throw in the towel." Rob took a deep breath and regained his strength.

"Let's go, Rob, everyone is waiting." Don De put his arm around Rob's shoulders and turned around and walked back to the prison hall.

As soon as they entered, they saw that everyone was in a daze, as if they were ready to start work at any time.

Tang De could see that their eyes were confused, uneasy, and doubtful, but there was also firmness mixed in.

"Hey guys, the director is going to say a few words to everyone." So Tang De raised his hand, attracted his gaze, came to the front of everyone, and looked at Rob.

"Okay, I'll say a few words." Rob was silent for a moment, crossed his hands on his hips, and slowly spoke: "I know everyone is thinking about the news, and I know that the guild is about to intervene in the investigation, but we didn't do anything wrong, did we?" ”

He looked at Don: "Don is the assistant director, he has the responsibility to ensure that the camera goes smoothly, and it is for the good of both parties to let Dion leave the crew, in fact, the cinematographer of this film would have written his name." But he's now turned black and white on the newspapers, we're on the bullying side, and now all the reporters are questioning us that the movie "Chicago" is going to be a joke. ”

"But you know, it's not a joke, we put too much effort into this movie! So I can't let Dion ruin it! ”

Rob paused for a moment when he said this, and Don De could see that this speech was already difficult for Rob, a director who was not good at words, so he took over and said: "We have to prove ourselves ......"

He turned his head to look at the crowd: "Dieng said that the movie sucks, it's a piece of garbage, shit, and a stench that you can't look at. Do you think these words are right? ”

"Of course not!" The camera assistant Philemus responded indignantly.

"yes, that's right, he's just venting his anger and has no feelings for this movie at all, but we're different." Tang De said in a powerful tone: "We are the ones who have the most say in the movie, and we are also the ones who put the most energy." We can't let him slander us and denigrate the film at will, but what to do? Are we going to open a column in the newspaper to scold him? ”

Everyone smiled, and the atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed.

"Of course not, what we have to do is to accumulate strength, shoot the film well, think about it." Donde walked up to Rob: "When we stand on the podium of the Oscars and give a speech, come and say, 'I want to thank someone for leaving' Wow! It's not too cool, is it? ”

"That's right!" Everyone chimed in, and the smiles on their faces became more and more overflowing.

"That's it." Don De stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist: "Don't let what happened in Chicago happen to us, don't be the sacrificed!" Don't give the power of proof to anyone else! That's what we made this movie for, isn't it! ”

"That's right!" Colleen applauded, she always managed to set the mood at a critical moment.

"Wow!" Immediately after more and more applause, everyone present was encouraged by this voice and calmed their minds.

Rob smiled and put his arm around Donde's shoulder: "Thank you, Donde, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to continue." ”

"Don't worry, Rob, I'm not going to let this movie be ruined."

This is Donde's film debut, and he is still counting on winning an Oscar for Best Cinematography with this movie.

Although the film was only nominated in the previous life, after Tang De intervened and modified some of the shots, the film already had a great chance of winning the award.

However, there are still two dance scenes to be filmed, and one of them is the least brilliant scene in the whole movie.

Don De is still thinking about how to present this dance.

The original version was a rivalry between Zeta Jones and Renee, and in order to get Renee to agree to form a pas de deux with her, Zeta-Jones danced a solo dance to convince Renee.

The reason why it is not brilliant is, in Tang De's view, the main problem is that the use of color is too simple and cautious.

When Zeta-Jones danced, it was all dark, except for the slight change in the backroom of the nightclub, but the colors were not noticeable enough to compliment her dancing.

Therefore, after re-discussing with Rob and the scene team, some additional lighting panels were rearranged on site.

"Alright, Scene 138, start!"

After Zeta-Jones and Renee were ready, one sat behind the table, the other stood in front of the table, and after the ceremony began, Zeta-Jones danced immediately, and Renee also maintained her arrogant expression and attitude dedicatedly.

Zeta-Jones walked backwards as she sang, "Smack! The drums beat and the lights brightened, revealing the backdrop of the nightclub stage.

And when she stood on the stage and danced excitedly, the square light panels in the background instantly lit up, and the red light source immediately had a strong contrast with the black costume on her body.

Looking at the monitor, you can see that the red color hides Zeta-Jones's face, and she seems to be a silhouette, which is extremely impressive.

"Cool, Donde, that's a good idea." No matter how many times, Rob will be amazed by the solution proposed by Donde, he always has a way to solve the problem.

Tang De smiled and didn't speak, this lighting arrangement was inspired by the dancing clip of Jessica Alba in "Sin City", in the original picture, the colors were all gray, only the red square light bar and the woman's dancing posture were the most prominent.

But "Chicago" has a different color palette than "Sin City" and is certainly impossible, so redder and more impactful lighting and dark contrasts are used to complement Zeta-Jones's posture.

I have to say that the effect created in this way is suddenly much better than before, and John also said that this kind of strong contrast color is easy to form a memory point in the audience's heart.

The scene was quickly completed with professional performances by the actors, and they were about to enter the final dance.

However, this has nothing to do with Tang De, because he can make up for it, and everything that can be improved has already been done. In fact, the filming of the entire "Chicago" crew was fast and professional.

This is due to the fact that the dance team and the art director are all from the original Broadway, and they have rehearsed the show at least hundreds of times, so they are very familiar with it.

Coupled with the attitude and dedication of the actors, if it weren't for Dieng's moth, this movie would have been filmed a long time ago.

But this is not a bad thing for Donde, because friendship can only be particularly deep if there is a common goal or a common enemy.

Donde should also thank Dion for giving him this opportunity to form a more cordial relationship with Rob, John, Colleen, and others.

Of course, his method of reciprocation is also very simple.

As he himself said before, standing on the podium of the Oscars and saying those words to the camera: "Thank you for someone's exit." ”

It must have been a very beautiful moment.

Three days later, "Chicago" was officially completed, announcing that it was entering the final stage.

Before the crew officially disbanded, Colleen approached Donde.

"Honey, we have a play coming up on Broadway recently, are you interested?"

"Interested." Tang De smiled and said in affirmation.

"Oh, that's great, I'll message you two days in advance...... If you have a female companion, you can also bring it along. ”

After Colleen finished speaking, she left with her team first.

And then Zeta-Jones.

Away from the movie, she dressed very wide and comfortable, probably for the sake of the child in her womb.

"Don, don't forget me if you have any roles in the future." She seems to be sure that Don De will definitely become a real Hollywood director, and now she is already saying hello in advance.

"Haha, I'll remember."

"Don, and me." Renee interjected and warmly took Tang De's hand: "I have a party tomorrow, are you interested?" They are all friends in the circle. ”

"I'm sorry, Renee, I'm going to go home first, my mother and two younger brothers have been waiting for me for too long."

Tang De skillfully used his family as a shield, and sure enough, after hearing Tang De's words, Renee covered her mouth in surprise: "It is true that you should take care of your family." ”

The two left on their front and back feet, and Richard leaned over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don, you can't push the party on my side anymore......"

"Of course, Richard." Donde's relationship with Richard Gass has improved a lot these days, and the two people who have nothing to do often chat together.

Richard's party had been with him for a long time, and he was sure to be pleasantly surprised when he attended.

This makes one wonder what the surprise is.

After saying goodbye to the crew members one by one, Tang De finally left the prison.

Although the movie is finished, there are still many things to do next, such as sorting out the company's affairs and the selection of MV shooting, Jimmy and Carl Ke have been waiting for Don for a long time.

At the same time, Heinz's new commercial was officially launched on TV stations and was watched by people all over the United States.
