Chapter 1126 Progress
The filming site of "Titanic".
The scenes at the dock have been finished, and now the whole crew is filming in the studio.
The scene to be filmed today is the scene where the Titanic hits the iceberg, gradually sinks to the bottom of the sea, and the seawater pours into the cabin.
In order to present this set of shots more realistically, the crew built a building.
The actors are in the building, and many staff members are standing outside the building. As long as they hear Tan Yue's instructions, they will turn on the switch to let water in.
The risk factor of this shot is very high. Once the shooting starts, any danger may occur, and the staff outside are ready to rescue at any time.
Tan Yue asked on the intercom: "Are all the teams ready?"
"The inspection of camera No. 1 is complete."
"The inspection of camera No. 2 is complete."
"The inspection of the props team is complete."
"."
Hearing the answers from the teams on the intercom, Tan Yue pressed the intercom button and said: "This group of shots has a high risk factor. Once a problem is found, be ready to stop at any time. Especially the emergency response team, be ready to rescue at any time."
Tan Yue picked up the loudspeaker in his hand and said: "Everyone must pay attention to their own safety. If you feel you are in danger, shout stop loudly."
In this case, the safety of the actors themselves is the first priority.
Looking at everyone's preparations, Tan Yue said: "Start shooting."
With the sound of broken glass, a large amount of seawater rushed in instantly.
For all the extras present, the tension came up instantly, and the feeling of panic did not need to be performed at all.
Tan Yue stared at the monitor intently, paying attention to the condition of the actors at all times.
Although some actors had a big deviation from the position during the play, Tan Yue still did not call a stop.
Because in this situation, people will burst out the potential for survival, and this aspect is exactly the sense of reality he needs.
More and more seawater poured in, gradually reaching the knees. An extra actor failed to stand firmly and fell directly into the water. He struggled for a long time but couldn't stand up.
"Stop, stop, stop, hurry up and save people." Tan Yue has been paying attention to the situation of this person. It has been so long that it is not a performance. There must be something wrong.
The rescuer waiting on the side jumped into the water and helped the man up.
"What's wrong?" Tan Yue hurried over to ask about the situation.
The actor kept choking on water.
At this time, the doctor had also come over and began to ask about the situation and check his physical condition.
The filming of the entire crew was temporarily stopped.
After a while.
Hearing the doctor say "nothing serious", everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tan Yue said loudly: "Remind you again, you must ensure your own safety. After the seawater rushes in, it may hit something. Always pay attention to your feet."
Because of the accident, the crew had to temporarily stop filming.
Tan Yue returned to the monitor and carefully looked at the content just filmed.
The performance of the extras was quite good at the beginning of this scene, but after getting used to it, they were obviously a little lax.
Tan Yue found the assistant director and arranged: "Clean up the site and reshoot this scene."
Once there is a problem, reshooting will be very troublesome. All the water must be cleaned up and all the props must be rearranged.
The assistant director directed the crew to rearrange the scene, while Tan Yue was talking to the extras.
The crew was busy for more than an hour before all the water on the set was drained.
Then continue shooting.
Having felt the fear of seawater rushing in once, the extras don't want to feel it again.
Therefore, this time everyone is full of energy and wants to pass directly.
More than two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
Everyone on the set focused their attention on Tan Yue. Whether he would be immersed in seawater again depends on whether he can pass.
"Pass."
A simple word made everyone on the set happy.
"Thank you for your hard work." Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
There was no dangerous situation in the more than two hours of shooting, but there will be many such shots later.
Tan Yue said, "Pack up, we're going to shoot the next scene."
The crew members hurried to prepare the layout for the next scene.
The extras came out one after another, and many of them were seen holding flowers in their hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, happy wrap-up."
Although it was the scenes of some extras, because the filming process was too hard, Tan Yue prepared a bouquet of flowers for everyone.
The extras took the flowers and said words of thanks.
"Thank you, Director Tan."
Seeing Tan Yue coming out, the extras were even more excited.
One of them asked, "Director Tan, can I take a photo with you?"
"Of course, no problem." Tan Yue readily agreed.
"I want one too."
"And me."
There are many fans of Tan Yue among the extras. It would be a pity not to take a photo with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Don't worry, come one by one."
Then Tan Yue took a photo with each extra, and finally took a big photo with everyone.
"Director Tan, come here."
Tan Yue followed the assistant director to the next scene.
"Director Tan."
"Director Tan."
Liu Qian and Li Youfan, who were acting together, greeted Tan Yue at the same time.
"You guys act first, I'll go take a look, I'll come back to talk to you guys about the play later."
The scene arrangement must be put first.
Tan Yue and the other person came to the scene.
The assistant director said: "Director Tan, you see, the props are a bit hard to put when arranging this place."
"Is there a problem with the prop size?"
The assistant director shook his head and said: "They are all designed according to the size, not the props."
Then the two began to study.
Finally, it was discovered that the props team took the wrong props.
There were two identical props of different sizes.
After solving this problem, Tan Yue went to explain the play to Liu Qian and Li Youfan.
The director is always the busiest person on the set.
...
The afternoon shooting began.
Under the camera, Liu Qian and Li Youfan were acting.
After such a long period of running-in, the tacit understanding between the two people does not need to be said much, sometimes only a glance is needed to understand each other's meaning.
"Cut." Tan Yue continued: "You two come and take a look."
Liu Qian and Li Youfan stood behind Tan Yue and watched their performance.
Tan Yue said: "This scene is pretty good, do you want to shoot another one?"
"No problem."
Li Youfan nodded and said: "I have no problem either."
The one that was just shot can actually be edited into the feature film, and shooting one more scene is also a good experience for them.
"Go and get ready." Tan Yue picked up the intercom and said: "Each team, get ready, we will shoot this one again."
When you put all your energy into your work, time will pass very quickly.
Tan Yue glanced at the time and said: "After shooting the last one, let's go for dinner."
Eating dinner means that today's work is about to end, and everyone can't help but feel happy.
The shooting of the last scene was also very smooth, and there were no problems in the middle.
Now Liu Qian and Li Youfan can shoot many scenes in one go.
After checking, Tan Yue said, "It's passed."
"Everyone wait a moment, let me tell you something." Tan Yue stood up and shouted with a loudspeaker, "From the start to now, we have been shooting for half a year, and everyone has worked very hard during this period."
"From the initial adjustment to the smooth shooting later, I have seen everyone's efforts."
"The current shooting progress has reached the late stage. If we work harder to increase the shooting speed, we hope to finish before the Chinese New Year."
"Not only you, I also want to go home for the Chinese New Year. Therefore, in the next period of time, I hope everyone can continue to work hard and cheer."
As Tan Yue's voice fell, the atmosphere on the set became agitated for a while.
"It's a pleasant surprise! I always thought I wouldn't go home for the New Year this year."
"I didn't feel homesick before, but after hearing what Director Tan said, I really miss home a little."
"Brothers, work harder, I want to go home for the New Year!"
"Are you missing your wife or do you want to go home?"
"I'm a traditional person. I don't have to go home at other times, but it's best to go home during the New Year. The whole family sits together to have a reunion dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala. It's very lively."
"Spring Festival Gala? Even dogs don't watch it."
Tan Yue said: "Let's clean up and go to eat."
Although they have been tired for a day, everyone seems to be energized at this moment, and they start to clean up the set quickly.
Half an hour later.
"Director Tan, everything has been cleaned up, let's go over to eat." said the assistant director.
Tan Yue glanced around and nodded: "Let's go."
There is a special place for eating in this studio. The staff and actors of the "Titanic" crew are having dinner together.
The recent filming is quite hard, and we have extra meals every day.
"Master Chen, the ribs are really good today."
"Yes, this taste is not available in restaurants outside."
Listening to the praise from people around him, Master Chen smiled and said: "If it tastes good, eat more. I have extra meals for you recently. If you want to eat anything else, just tell me."
"No problem."
"Master Chen, I want to eat fish."
"That's not a good thing to say." Master Chen's words immediately amused everyone.
"Master Chen, I didn't expect you to have watched "The Storm."
"It's a TV series produced by our company, so of course you have to watch it."
"What are you talking about? So happy?" Tan Yue came over and asked with a smile.
"Director Tan."
Everyone greeted him.
One of them said: "I'm praising Master Chen. The ribs are delicious today."
"Really? Then I'm going to eat more today."
Tan Yue sat down.
When eating, he will sit with everyone. Not only can he understand the situation of the crew members, but he can also chat with everyone.
In a lively atmosphere, the entire crew had dinner.
After dinner, everyone took the bus back to the hotel.
Tan Yue kept his habit and began to check the clips shot today.
The filming during this period was very hard, and he was soaking in water almost every day.
Although the weather has become increasingly cold recently, the water used for filming is still relatively warm, above 15 degrees.
Tan Yue stared at the computer screen intently, and paused when drinking water, for fear of missing a scene.
It was not until after ten o'clock that it ended.
Tan Yue stretched himself and stood up from the sofa, picked up the cup and took a cup of hot tea.
Thinking that he hadn't had a video call with Chen Ziyu for a few days, Tan Yue sat back on the sofa, put down the cup, picked up the phone next to him and called.
"A Yue." Chen Ziyu answered almost immediately.
"No work?"
"You forgot that today is the weekend."
Tan Yue patted his forehead lightly and said, "I was confused and forgot that today is the weekend."
The crew didn't have weekends at all, so he only remembered what day it was today, and had no idea what day it was.
Chen Ziyu smiled and asked, "Have you checked today's filming footage?"
"Just finished watching it."
"How was today's filming?"
"There was a little accident." Tan Yue briefly recounted what happened on the set.
Chen Ziyu was very distressed when he heard it.
Although there were many rescue workers nearby, the water level was very deep after all, and it was very easy for accidents to happen.
"I remember if the later filming was all in the water?"
Tan Yue nodded and said "Yeah".
Chen Ziyu said: "Remind me more during the filming."
"I know." Tan Yue said: "I looked at the filming schedule today."
"When will it be finished?" Chen Ziyu was obviously a little excited.
"It may be finished before the New Year, but we have to speed up the filming progress."
"Will this affect the quality of the movie?"
"I'm not sure yet. I want to try to adjust it in the next few days. Let's see if we can improve the shooting efficiency while ensuring the quality. If the effect is not good, we can only proceed according to the current shooting plan, and we may not be able to finish the filming during the New Year."
The premise of improving shooting efficiency is of course to ensure quality.
Tan Yue certainly won't blindly increase the shooting speed in order to finish the filming before the New Year.
Chen Ziyu nodded and said: "You can arrange it."
She naturally hopes that Tan Yue can come back during the New Year, but if he really can't come back, she will support him.
After all, the movie is the top priority.
The two of them kept chatting and laughing.
Seeing Tan Yue yawning, Chen Ziyu glanced at the time on his phone and said, "It's already past eleven o'clock, go wash up and go to bed."
"Did time go by so fast?"
Chen Ziyu chuckled, "Go wash up first."
Tan Yue hung up the phone and got up to wash up.
He was indeed very tired during this period. He was worried about accidents during the filming, so he was always in a state of tension.
Especially the accident that happened today.
Tan Yue took a hot shower, and the fatigue of the day instantly dissipated a lot.
Just at twelve o'clock, he lay on the bed and prepared to rest.
Chen Ziyu sent a message asking if he had lain down.
Tan Yue replied to the message and fell asleep unconsciously. In his dream, "Titanic" was finished before the New Year.
