Chapter 834 Filming

Qiong Province, Sanya City, Central Airport.

Tan Yue and his party saw the staff who came to pick them up from the exit, and the crew members boarded the bus one after another.

Tan Yue, Ma Guoliang, and Xin Zhi sat in the same business car.

Liu Qian's role is not too much, and she will join the crew in a while.

Tan Yue asked: "The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow morning. How is the preparation going?"

"According to your request, the things needed for the opening ceremony have been prepared."

The person who spoke was Gu Xingwang, one of the middle-level managers of the film department, and he is expected to be promoted to supervisor within two years. After finding the filming location required for the film, he has been staying in this place to prepare for the work before the start of the filming.

Tan Yue nodded slightly, then looked at the shooting schedule in his hand, thinking about the next work.

This was not the first time Tan Yue came here, and the scenery outside the car window did not have much attraction to him.

Ma Guoliang has been studying the script with his head down.

Xin Zhi is different from them, looking at the scenery flashing by the roadside.

A business car and two buses drove to the port, and a group of people took a pre-rented boat to the island.

Many employees stood on the deck and looked at the endless sea.

Some employees who were familiar with others began to chat with the seamen and sailors on the ship.

"Can we only take a boat to get to the island?"

"Yes, this is the only way to get there."

"Are the daily necessities on the island transported by these ships?"

"Do you see the island in front? It's right there. It's very close and convenient."

The people on the deck looked at the island not far away.

Surrounded by sea water, it was like a small boat in the sea, which made many employees feel that the shooting conditions this time would be very difficult.

The boat approached the shore, and after seeing the buildings on the island, they dispelled their concerns.

Just like what was described on the Internet, it was fully equipped and completely a miniature city.

After arranging accommodation after a long journey, Tan Yue let the employees move freely and start shooting tomorrow.

...

...

The next day, early in the morning.

On the only square on the island, a banner was put up - 'Good luck to the filming of The Truman Show! '.

Keeping everything simple is what Tan Yue meant.

This time, no stage was built, just a simple banner, and the things needed for blessing were placed on the altar.

All the crew members were in this place, and under the leadership of Tan Yue, the opening ceremony was held one by one in order.

For the local residents, it was very novel to see this scene, which attracted many people to watch.

Tan Yue did not ask the staff to stop the onlookers from taking pictures. After all, several news media were invited, and the opening ceremony of The Truman Show would be reported.

The crew was relatively low-key, and only six media were invited. The cameras and cameras in their hands did not stop, and they were recording the whole process. They were all the latest news, which would inevitably cause an uproar on the Internet once released, and they dared not miss anything.

Tan Yue stood in front and spoke, mainly thanking the local residents for agreeing to their filming. There was still relatively little news about related movies.

After the opening ceremony, Tan Yue briefly answered a few questions from reporters. As for questions related to the movie, he kept silent on confidentiality.

The same result was obtained in interviews with Ma Guoliang and other leading actors.

Before the movie was released, Tan Yue did not want to reveal too much content. Only by maintaining a sense of mystery could the audience's interest be aroused.

Everyone came to the shooting location and began to build the scene and arrange the camera under Tan Yue's command. The whole crew was busy.

After lunch, the staff took a short break and continued to work.

"Raise that camera a little higher." Tan Yue wore a baseball cap, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other.

Ma Guoliang, who was sitting under the tent, was putting on makeup, his eyes were always on the script. It was okay if he didn't take the script, but once he took the script, this guy was really like a demon.

Truman's life has been broadcast live, so some shots look like they were shot by a pinhole camera. Tan Yue came to the camera to check if it was adjusted.

The assistant director came running over and said, "Director Tan, the venue has been set up."

After confirming that there was no problem with the camera, Tan Yue said, "Notify all departments to prepare and start the camera immediately."

"Okay." The assistant director left.

Ma Guoliang came into the room, tidied his clothes, took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

After a while, Tan Yue took the intercom and said, "All departments should make the final confirmation."

The voice of "no problem" came from the intercom one after another.

Tan Yue sat in front of the monitor and shouted with a loud speaker: "Begin."

The stagehand in front of the camera held a board: "The first scene of "The Truman Show", the first shot, action."

Truman looked at himself in the mirror and said: "I can't do it anymore, you guys continue."

"You can't give up, even if you break your legs, you have to climb up the mountain."

"You're crazy, you know?"

"Come on, say something new."

"Okay, at least promise me one thing. If I die on the way, you can eat me as food."

"Disgusting."

Truman's serious face showed a trace of anger:

"Damn it, eat me, this is an order, do you hear it?"

"Just eat the lower abdomen, I have a cute lower abdomen."

"A little bit."

At this time, Truman was interrupted by his wife’s voice outside the door: “Truman, you’re going to be late.

"Click."

Tan Yue stood up and came over to tell Ma Guoliang the problems in this scene.

When filming just started and problems arose in the middle, Tan Yue did not interrupt directly because he wanted Ma Guoliang to get a feel for acting.

"Teacher Ma, when you are acting this scene, you need to be more focused when you look in the mirror. Truman's character is a bit weird, like a child immersed in his own world."

Ma Guoliang nodded thoughtfully. He had performed this scene many times in front of the mirror at home.

Even last night I was practicing non-stop in the hotel.

I haven't acted for a while, so I feel a bit rusty.

"There are no problems with the lines, speaking speed, and tone." Tan Yue affirmed Ma Guoliang's excellence.

After a while, Ma Guoliang said: "Director Tan, it's okay, let's continue filming."

Tan Yue returned to the monitor, picked up the loudspeaker and said: "Every department is ready, let's start."

The second time, Ma Guoliang completed the filming of the first scene brilliantly.

In the blink of an eye, the sky is getting dark.

"I'm here for now. Pack your things and go back to rest." The assistant director used a loudspeaker to convey Tan Yue's message.

The crew left the filming location one after another, and Tan Yue was still sitting in front of the monitor watching the two scenes shot today.

Ma Guoliang got into the role very quickly, and there were basically no problems in the two scenes in the afternoon.

Now what Tan Yue wants to see is whether some details have been handled properly, especially in the second game. There are many extras, and the expressions on their faces are also crucial.

Tan Yue looked at the picture frame by frame, and there were several people beside him who were also staring attentively.

"Okay, not bad."

After confirming that there was no problem, Tan Yue said: "You should all go back and rest quickly. The first day is a warm-up. The work in the future will be more arduous."

Heung Kong Daily News Building.

Zhao Hongjun, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, swiped the screen of his mobile phone.

"Ding dong."

A message comes in.

Zhao Hongjun pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a hint of surprise in his voice:

"Tan Yue is actually filming a movie in the South China Sea!"

Suddenly an idea came to his mind. He wanted to schedule an exclusive interview with Tan Yue.

Tan Yue not only has a high reputation, but his film and television works are also loved and sought after by countless audiences. He has made the list of top public figures at a young age.

Moreover, Tan Yue's new movie will be released simultaneously around the world. If I could do an exclusive interview, I would definitely be able to get a lot of questions about the details of the movie.

Once the report comes out, it will definitely be on the top of the trending searches on Weibo, Douyin and other major social media, bringing a lot of traffic and benefits to Xiangjiang Daily.

For Zhao Hongjun himself, he also wanted to have a face-to-face communication with Tan Yue. People who have reached this position have wonderful experiences that are worth exploring.

Zhao Hongjun rummaged through his cell phone to find a mobile number and dialed it.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, is it convenient to talk now?"

Zhao Hongjun walked to the window and played with the green plants on the windowsill.

The phone was silent for a few seconds, and the other party had obviously found a suitable place to talk.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that Tan Yue was filming on an island in the South China Sea recently. It's a rare opportunity! I want to have an exclusive interview with him. I want you to find someone to help me ask if I can get the opportunity for an exclusive interview."

"Well, just wait for me for a while, I can only try it."

Zhao Hongjun was very happy: "Excuse me, I'll buy you a drink when you have time."

After putting down the phone, Zhao Hongjun paced back and forth in the office, obviously unable to sit still, waiting for news from Lao Zhu.

Half an hour passed, and Zhao Hongjun was living like a year, glancing at his phone from time to time.

Ring, ring, ring, the long-awaited call finally came back.

Zhao Hongjun quickly put down the coffee in his hand, answered the phone and asked impatiently: "How was the result?"

"They refused. People from Bright Entertainment told me that Tan Yue would not accept any interviews during the filming of the movie."

When he heard on the set that Xiangjiang Daily wanted to interview him, Tan Yue refused without any hesitation. These unimportant things only distracted him and ignored them.

"Isn't there any room for negotiation?"

Zhao Hongjun didn't want to give up this rare opportunity just like this.

Lao Zhu sighed and said slowly: "At present, it is basically impossible. Tan Yue has always been like this. I heard that it was the same when he was filming a movie in Xiangjiang last time."

"Well, please, Lao Zhu, don't forget to have a meal together when you have time."

Tan Yue disagreed and had no choice. Thinking that the opportunity in front of him was lost like this, Zhao Hongjun inevitably felt a little disappointed.

"but."

Hearing Lao Zhu's voice, Zhao Hongjun quickly asked: "But what?"

"During this period, you can try to contact Cuican Entertainment to make an appointment for Tan Yue's movie after it is completed. I believe that with the influence of your newspaper, you might even get an exclusive interview opportunity. Although it will be a while later, but Still a big news.”

Zhao Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "You really helped me a lot, thank you!"

Anyway, Tan Yue will not be interviewed during the filming of the movie, and what he will get at that time will still be the latest news.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hongjun immediately arranged for someone to contact Bright Entertainment Company.

The filming location of "The Truman Show".

The atmosphere on the scene was quite solemn. This scene had been filmed three times, but it still did not meet Tan Yue's requirements.

He was holding a megaphone to explain the scene to everyone:

"Remember that you are now actors in the movie. For this scene, you just need to show the feeling of playing a passerby in your daily life."

Tan Yue pointed at a few people and continued: "You can focus your eyes on Truman, or you can sneak a peek at him."

"Digest what I said carefully. In five minutes, we will reshoot."

Five minutes later, with the script supervisor hitting the board, the fourth shoot began.

Truman bought newspapers and magazines and walked on the way to the company.

People kept greeting Truman on the road, and Truman also responded to them.

Suddenly, he was blocked by two old men.

"Good morning, Truman!"

"Hello!"

"The weather is very good!"

"It's still the same."

Truman always had a smile on his face.

Then Truman was pushed to the advertisement page by one of the old men, who said, "Is your lovely wife okay?"

Truman nodded and joked, "Very good, how about the aunties?"

"Very good."

"Very good."

The two answered the questions together.

"Truman is glad to talk to you."

"Me too."

"We have to go."

For his job and to make more money, Truman said, "Consider our new policy. One person insures and two people benefit. It's very cost-effective. Twins get special discounts."

"Okay, bye."

"Click."

Tan Yue was very satisfied with the shooting this time. As for whether it can be passed, he still needs to take a closer look.

"Passed." Tan Yue said, "Next."

Two months later, it was September and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Today's shooting was night scene, which was much better than daytime, and there were gusts of sea breeze blowing.

Tan Yue stared at the monitor carefully, watching the expressions on the actors' faces.

Truman's friend said to the camera: "This is real beer."

Truman looked at the moon, walked to his friend and said: "Marlon, I want to leave."

"Leaving what?"

"I want to leave my job and the small island of Seaview Town anyway, I want to quit."

Truman's friend was playing golf and asked: "What's wrong with work? Truman, your job is very easy, just sitting in the office."

The friend swung out: "I dream of having a job sitting in the office."

It was Truman's turn to play golf.

"You should also go install vending machines to make a living."

"No, thank you."

"That's really interesting."

The two of them had practiced this scene for a long time, and they were quite skilled in talking to each other without any lag.

Both the actors and the staff had already gotten used to the style of this movie in two months, and the shooting was very comfortable now.

It was not until the end of this scene that Tan Yue shouted "cut" to stop.

Looking at such a smooth shooting process, Tan Yue was of course very happy.
