Chapter 1063 Filming

The next day, early morning.

Tan Yue got up to wash up. What woke him up was not the alarm clock, but a busy day of work.

There is a start-up ceremony to be held today and filming to be done in the afternoon. There are many things going on.

After a simple wash, Tan Yue took the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor.

"Good morning, Mr. Tan!"

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by employees.

"Morning!" Tan Yue responded to everyone.

At this time, many employees were already eating.

Tan Yue looked at the food on display, took a glass of milk and some bread, found an empty table and started eating.

There was a lot of other food, but none of it looked appetizing.

"Mr. Tan." Zhou Can came over to say hello and sat across from him.

"Are you still used to this place?"

Zhou Can pursed his lips and said, "I lay down all day yesterday, and I feel much better today."

It was his first time to go abroad, and he kept vomiting as soon as he got off the plane. Fortunately, after a day of adjustment, his condition was obviously much better.

Otherwise, you may not be able to participate in this shoot.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just stay in the hotel for two more days. You don't need to attend today's power-on ceremony."

"It's okay now, it won't affect the shooting."

No matter how uncomfortable he is, he will insist that he is the protagonist of the movie. If he is absent, it will inevitably affect the filming progress.

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan." Zhou Can lowered his head to eat.

After a few seconds, he began to regret why he suddenly chose to sit in this place just now. I want to talk but can't find a topic, so I can only keep busy.

After a while, Ma Guoliang and Fan Shan came over.

"Teacher Ma, Teacher Fan." Zhou Can said hello, thinking: You are really my savior.

Ma Guoliang asked with concern: "Brother Zhou, I heard that you vomited yesterday, are you okay?"

"The jet lag is slowly coming back, it's okay."

"It's normal. I didn't close my eyes the night before yesterday and fell asleep at noon."

"How do you feel?" Tan Yue asked.

"It's much better. It won't affect the filming."

Fan Shan said: "I'm okay."

He was not affected at all.

Ma Guoliang said: "I really envy Teacher Fan. He is not as weak as the rest of us."

"The physique is different."

The four of them chatted, finished breakfast, and returned to their respective rooms.

Tan Yue sat on the sofa, looking at the shooting schedule in his hand, and went to open the door when he heard the doorbell.

"Mr. Tan."

"Come in and talk."

After the two sat down, Tan Yue asked, "How was the layout of the opening ceremony?"

"Everything is ready and we can start on time today."

"Is everyone okay?"

"I just did some statistics and found that one person is still vomiting and is not in good health."

"Let him have a good rest today. If he still vomits, take him to the hospital."

"OK."

Tan Yue looked at the time on his wrist. It was already ten minutes past eight: "When will we go to the power-on ceremony?"

"The bus is downstairs, everyone has already gone downstairs."

"Let's go down too."

Tan Yue packed up his things, went out and came downstairs.

"Mr. Tan, there is a bus that is full. I will let them pass first."

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Is there anyone else upstairs?"

"There are two more people."

While they were talking, two people boarded the bus.

Tan Yue said: "It seems that everyone has arrived, let's go to the start-up ceremony!"

"Okay."

Tan Yue sat in a commercial vehicle, followed the bus, and arrived at the scene in more than ten minutes.

People who arrived on the first bus early had already taken out their mobile phones and started taking pictures.

"This place has a nice view. This small building should be worth a lot of money."

Surrounded by villas with yards one after another, the yards are green lawns, giving people a completely different feeling.

"I don't know. I don't know how much the house price in this place is. If you have such a house in the capital, it would be worth at least hundreds of millions."

The opening ceremony was arranged near the first shooting location.

"Mr. Tan is here."

Everyone put down their mobile phones, stopped chatting and taking pictures, and began to approach the stage they had built.

Tan Yue got out of the car and looked around the venue while listening to the introductions of the people next to him.

"This place needs to be adjusted."

"Turn that one up."

"."

Tan Yue directed the scene and adjusted some details.

At nine o'clock sharp, the launch ceremony of "The Shawshank Redemption" officially began.

As before, keep it simple.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs and all the necessary procedures.

Under the introduction of the host, it was Tan Yue's turn to speak.

"The inspiration for this movie came to me while watching a movie. I prefer to study some movies during my free time. The content of "The Shawshank Redemption" will not be disclosed to the outside world. I hope everyone will go to the cinema to watch this movie. I think it’s worth it.”

"The box office performance of the last movie "The Godfather" surprised me, but I hope this new movie can surpass "The Godfather". So in the next period of time, my requirements will be very strict. I hope we The entire crew works together to break the box office record again.”

In previous opening ceremonies, Tan Yue rarely mentioned his expectations for the box office.

And this time it was "Shawshank Redemption" that gave him great confidence, so he expressed his expectations.

He also believes that "The Shawshank Redemption" will achieve good box office results.

There was warm applause at the scene.

Then came the main creative staff. The first person to be invited was the male lead Zhou Can.

Knowing that he would speak, he thought of the words in advance.

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Tan for giving me this opportunity. I know that my acting skills need to continue to improve. Being able to play the leading male role in this movie is entirely Director Tan's trust in me. I will never live up to this trust and will do my best to play this role well."

"Then thank all the staff. Without your efforts, no audience would know who I am."

"Finally, I wish "The Shawshank Redemption" a good start! Big box office sales!"

After the applause, it was Ma Guoliang, Fan Shan and others who spoke.

The content of what they said was almost the same, and there was no disclosure of anything about the plot.

Under the introduction of the host, the ceremony began to enter the next process - the incense burning session.

Everyone will burn incense, so it will take a little longer.

At half past ten, the opening ceremony came to an end.

The host said: "Now please ask everyone in the crew to come to the stage and take a group photo together."

Tan Yue, Zhou Can and others stood in the middle, while others sat on the ground, stood on tiptoes, and stood on stools.

Everyone held a banner with the words "Good luck to the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption"!" printed on it.

The host said: "Good luck to the "The Shawshank Redemption"--"

Everyone shouted: "Good luck to the start of the filming!"

The start-up ceremony ended here.

There were special people responsible for dismantling the stage, and the crew members came to the set without stopping to set up the venue.

The actors who had no scenes took the bus back to the hotel.

It was a little after one in the afternoon.

The set was full of busy figures.

The props team placed props, the sound recording team checked the equipment, and the makeup artists made up the actors.

The venue will be set up soon.

The busiest person on the entire set was naturally Tan Yue, and no matter which job he was needed to make the final confirmation.

"Director Tan, the scene is set up."

"I'll go over and see it right away." Tan Yue was checking the monitor, then stood up and followed the staff to the set.

Today's filming is about the protagonist being tried in court before going to prison.

In fact, this scene was built in a villa.

Tan Yue said: "Move these two paintings."

The person in charge of the props group quickly directed people to move the paintings.

Tan Yue looked around: "No other problems."

At this time, the assistant director trotted over: "Director Tan, the extras have changed their clothes and put on makeup."

"Arrange them to come in, you watch here first, I'll go check the monitor."

"Okay." The assistant director trotted to arrange the task.

Tan Yue came to the monitor and adjusted the equipment with a walkie-talkie.

Half an hour later.

Tan Yue held the walkie-talkie and said: "Turn on first and see if each device is operating normally."

The recording equipment has just been debugged, and now it needs to be checked in advance.

The staff who received the order looked at the area they were responsible for and started the first equipment debugging.

"Stop for a moment." Tan Yue suddenly said, "There are still some problems with the lens."

Just now, he had been adjusting the various parameters of the camera, and now he found some problems.

Tan Yue personally adjusted the data until the effect he wanted appeared: "Try again."

He looked at the monitor without blinking: "OK, OK!"

This time, no problems were found.

Tan Yue said, "Assistant director, check if the actors' makeup is done, and prepare to start shooting."

The assistant director who heard the words trotted all the way to the dressing room.

Since he came to the set, his legs have not walked, almost running, or like a race walker.

On the other side, Zhou Can had already put on makeup and stood in front of the mirror alone, saying the lines in the script.

I haven't taken a role for a while, and now I need to adjust my state.

Zhou Can rubbed his eyes and said to himself: "My state is not right, I can't have this expression."

This is his habit. Performing in front of the mirror can better see his state in all aspects, not only his body shape but also his emotions.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Until he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhou, are you ready? We're about to start filming."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Zhou Can felt his heartbeat quicken immediately, and followed the assistant director to the set.

"A Can, are you ready?" Tan Yue asked.

Zhou Can took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready, Mr. Tan."

"Don't be nervous, the first time is just a tryout, and it's also a good time to try out the filming effect, just play normally."

Zhou Can nodded.

"Let's rehearse the scene first."

Zhou Can put the script aside directly. He had memorized this scene by heart, and there was no problem with the lines.

Tan Yue watched from the side, and occasionally gave instructions on problems.

After the end.

"It's the first time shooting, even if there are problems, don't stop, wait until this scene is over, let's get a feel for it first." Tan Yue returned to the monitor and picked up the intercom: "All departments are ready, start filming."

The set was instantly quiet, and no one dared to speak.

The scene recorder said: "The first scene, the first shot of The Shawshank Redemption, action!"

At this moment, Zhou Can changed, just like the day of the audition, as if he was a different person.

Tan Yue in front of the monitor watched carefully until the scene ended.

Tan Yue came over and said, "Tell me a few questions."

"The first question is what we just mentioned. The conversation does not have to be too fast. The emotions in it need to be gradual."

"Then the second question is about you, Zhou Can. Although there is no problem with your emotions on the whole, if you want to truly bring a character to life, you need more details. For example, after he said... "

Tan Yue pointed out the problems one after another.

"In this way, I will give you some time to adjust first, and then we will shoot again." After the words fell, Tan Yue walked up to Zhou Can.

"Mr. Tan."

"There is nothing wrong with your performance, but you still need to add some details. Sometimes one second of thinking is extremely important."

Zhou Can thought seriously.

Tan Yue continued: "In this part of the script, he asks you if you have been followed. Think about your performance just now, and you answer after he says it. This character is recalling what happened on the day of drinking. If you drink too much I asked you to tell me what happened that day. Can you give me a direct answer? You usually like to drink. You should know this feeling. "

Zhou Can nodded and said: "I understand, Mr. Tan."

Many directors shoot the same plot, but the effects are very different.

The biggest reason lies in the control of details.

Tan Yue has always paid attention to this aspect.

"Think about the issues I just mentioned."

After more than ten minutes, the second shooting started.

Zhou Can's performance improved significantly this time.

But this time the actor forgot his lines while talking.

"Sorry, sorry Mr. Tan!"

"It's okay, it's okay, try again."

Then came the third shoot.

Until the end, Tan Yue said: "We have paid a lot of attention to the issues mentioned before, but I believe you can do better. Let's try again."

The recorder recorded the scene and continued filming.

After filming ten times, the studio was extremely quiet as everyone was waiting for Tan Yue to speak.

After all, it was the first day of filming, and the actors needed to adjust slowly.

Tan Yue looked at every detail carefully and said, "This scene is over."

Zhou Can took a deep breath and thought: If he doesn't pass, he will have to find a place to be alone.

Although he has failed so many times, it is not entirely because of himself, but once he plays the leading role, he will feel a sense of responsibility in his heart.

And he does have some problems. If he doesn't correct them, it will definitely delay the progress of the entire crew.

Tan Yue said: "Take a rest first and start filming the next scene later in the evening."

He continued to sit in front of the monitor and watch the footage he had just taken.

Of course there can't be any problems with the first day of shooting the set, which will soon be dismantled.
