Chapter 141
Amanozaki's magic solved the problem.
The representatives put forward their own opinions. Amanozaki erased the billboard with an eraser and quickly adjusted it. In the second ten minutes, he solved the advertiser's needs.
Spielberg stood aside, pinching his beard, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and whispered to Karenina, whose beautiful eyes were shining beside him:
"I don't think it's unfair that you didn't take him down. Geniuses are always weird."
Karenina nodded half convinced and half regretful.
If she had known earlier that Amanozaki had such originality and output ability, she would have taken this guy to bed no matter what!
Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity now.
She bit her lip, and her rosy red lips broke out a full arc under her pearly teeth.
'Not necessarily, I can try to stay...'
Chapter 161: Fish Tide! Start shooting!
The script of "Pacific Rim" is based on the standard movie script of Hollywood. This model can be easily searched on the Internet on Earth. It is a mature product that has been tested by the film market.
It is not difficult to make a script with a set of patterns, but it is difficult to make something good that hits the audience's G-spot under the premise of meeting the "standard".
Just like dancing with shackles, swaying with the rhythm and dancing that brings beautiful enjoyment are different. The former can only be regarded as a dance of the gods at best.
The script selected by Amanozaki has won a lot of die-hard fans in China on Earth.
After all, which man doesn't like big radishes (big robots)?
The movies in this world are subordinate to the personal hero culture and have not developed an independent movie model. Filmmakers have not summarized mature "standards" based on the market. Therefore, this high and low tide setting that seems to be common on Earth is considered novel in this world.
In addition, the quality of "Pacific Rim" itself is excellent, and Amanozaki also used storyboards to express it most directly.
Although Amanozaki can't remember all the plots and plot twists of the movie now, it doesn't matter. The storyboard script he provided is just to facilitate the visual presentation of his ideas. Just be creative.
After all, there is an international director Spielberg around, right?
Spielberg is now standing on the deck of the Barracuda, discussing the plot with Amanozaki.
Or he is unilaterally exploiting Amanozaki's memories, constantly forcing him to reveal more details.
"We need to set up a reasonable transition to show Kanna's transformation from a human to a dragon."
Spielberg waved his hands excitedly: "We need more camera positions and lenses, and shoot as many different angles as possible!"
"We only have one day, and we can't do it again. We can only use editing and different angles to record, and finally choose the best."
The field staff and staff are laying tracks for mobile cameras on the deck.
Everyone is in high spirits, and they are full of joy when they come and go.
Because Lin Shuyu and Amanozaki have discussed it and decided to pay all employees involved in the work one-third of the salary of Spielberg's standard movie.
This means that from the field staff to the extras to the aunt who cooks, they only need to work overtime all night today to get one-third of the salary for a movie that requires continuous work for two or three years.
One day's work for at least one year's salary, this is a very profitable business, which has far exceeded everyone's psychological expectations. Even the union members of the team hired by Spielberg from foreign countries could not accuse them of overtime.
Because they also received a year's salary.
"The Chinese are really rich. I think the future market will be in China." This is a topic that many people discussed privately.
Efficient, generous, and big production.
Making money, efficiency, and high standards.
Great.
"Kanna is a child. Can she act according to the script?" Spielberg filmed the script that had been revised five times, with the last bit of worry.
The protagonist of "Ring the Great River" is undoubtedly Kanna in dragon form. All the adults on the scene revolve around her. Once today is missed, this living dragon will become something else. Spielberg's ambition will go down the drain.
Lin Shuyu patiently explained: "Don't worry, Kanna is a very obedient and lively child. If she just fights, she will have no problem."
"That's good."
Spielberg breathed a sigh of relief, but his hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, still showing his nervousness.
This is his first time, and also the first time for a contemporary foreign director to cooperate with the Chinese government, and he will release this work before his planned film.
In his opinion, if the quality of the film is up to standard, this will be a very good test.
It is used to test the reaction of Chinese and even overseas audiences to his film style and Chinese integration.
If it is not successful, then he will immediately stop the collection of his film, go back to Armenia, and give up the Chinese market.
Of course, if the film is not up to standard, he will learn from experience and give up the "honor" of being a director on the film, and make a cut with this work.
"Drones are in place!"
"Cameras are in place!"
"Extras are in place!"
"Armed!"
In the sky, there are drones painted green, covering the entire river area. Five patrol boats are parked in different positions, and large and small camera positions are scattered around fishing boats.
Because the fighting scenes are real and no one knows which ships will be sunk during the battle, thus providing the best shipwreck shots, so we used Amanozaki’s storyboards to get the extra budget for Spielberg. Therefore, they simply proposed to equip each ship with a fixed camera position, and then use five patrol boats to equip the mobile camera positions.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to equip every ship with a mobile camera. It’s true that moving the camera is inseparable from living people. There are too few people on site who know how to shoot, and there are also quite a shortage of knights who can protect the mobile camera.
As for the two ships at the helm of Wudang...
After they learned that Amanozaki was going to make a movie and received a huge investment, and invited Spielberg, they did not refuse Amanozaki's invitations for supporting roles and extras.
They don’t even ask for a salary, they just want to be on camera and call out their branch’s name.
Seeing the active appearance of these knights, Amanozaki was really embarrassed to leave them hanging on the boat, so he planned to take a shot of the Wudang knights in white clothes, stepping on bamboo poles, and filing out of Yiwei to cross the river, as a reward for these proactive friends. One confessed.
The river breeze was slightly cool and had a wet smell, but no one dared to relax.
"How long?" Spielberg asked Amanozaki, wiping his sweat.
He was waiting for the tetrapods and queenfish downstream.
These are the downstream sub-rudders and provinces that open a gap in the blockade net and lure fish along the gap to attack the fleet.
This was the help obtained in exchange for Amanozaki's promise to place the city shooting location in the next province and the guarantee of the army.
After so many years of taking charge of the camera, this is the first time he has recorded a real battle between good and evil. To say he is not nervous would be a lie. Moreover, the filming process of the war scenes in this movie is completely out of his control. He can only edit before and after filming. Have the initiative.
Amanozaki glanced at the captain's cabin. Lin Shuyu, who was directing Li Junzi to move equipment in the captain's cabin, turned on the microphone. His calm voice had a reassuring power:
"One to three minutes."
So ordinary people who were still active on the deck began to get on small boats to evacuate, while the fleet of boats flowed downstream along the river, pretending to be a bustling river every day.
People's breathing became lighter, and they could only hear the drone of drones and the gurgling of water. Even the turbines seemed to be quiet.
The wind lifted Spielberg's curls, and a crisp gunshot sounded suddenly on the tugboat that was two ships away from the Barracuda.
The Wudang knight in white stepped on the bamboo pole and crossed over. After a few seconds, the tugboat sounded a long whistle.
"The fish monster is coming!"
The knight roared, and his trained lungs pushed out the bursting sound to ensure that the microphone could receive his message.
Then the sound of the whistle spread in all directions, centered on the ship that fired the gun.
"Attention all units! Start shooting!"
Amanozaki used magic to enhance his voice. He didn't even have time to tell which scene and scene it was, and announced the start of filming before the fish pioneers attacked!
Chapter 162: It’s all a show
Almost at the same time that all the shots started shooting, the bloody smell of the four-clawed fish that was killed first spread out, stimulating the nerves of the first batch of strange fish that were driven in.
Instinctively, they begin to attack surrounding fishing boats.
On the deck, men wearing sweatshirts, coats, or simply shirtless, showing dark brown or tanned muscles, shouted fierce slogans that Spielberg could not understand, and acted quickly.
The series of gunshots and the shrill howl of the strange fish were like spreading a spoonful of rapeseed oil into a quiet hot pot, causing it to explode in an instant!
"Mr. Berg." Amanozaki called the other person's surname. He was the first to call the person's surname. Lin Shuyu originally knew that he should call the person Mr. Spie, but in order to show that Amanozaki was the person speaking this time, he made a mistake. As a result, Amanozaki didn't notice that he called the Chinese people by their first names smoothly, and called the foreigners' names as their surnames.
"You'd better go to the captain's cabin."
Spielberg's face was red and white, white for fear and red for excitement.
He moped for a while, finally regaining his composure: "No!"
Under Amanozaki's shocked gaze, the old man's withered hands held on to Karenina, and his attitude became firm: "I have been a director for more than 20 years and have been filming movies all my life. I have filmed both ancient and modern times, including war scenes. I took a lot of photos, but this was my first time seeing war with my own eyes!”
He begged in a pleading tone: "I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere, let me take a look. This is the only wish of an old man like me!"
"You can see more clearly in the captain's cabin." Faced with the pleading Spielberg, Amanozaki didn't give Karen a chance. He glanced at Karenina, his sharp eyes piercing her like a knife. Karenina trembled.
"Bring him up, he is the director, and he needs to control these shots."
She found that the young man who was a bit silent and solitary at first was carrying an unparalleled aura at this moment.
If she had to describe it, it was like the sun, constantly releasing heat that was irresistible.
Amanozaki unbuttoned his suit, leaving only his shirt. As he warmed up, his sleeping muscles began to be filled with blood and relaxed. The muscles bulged, and his body became more and more toned.
Karenina swallowed her saliva, supported Spielberg, who was cursing the unfairness of the world in a low voice, with a blushing face, and left three times turning back.
Amanosaki didn't take Spielberg's curses seriously at all. The old man had an eccentric temper, but he was very sensible. After he reminded him of his directorial mission, he quickly came to his senses, so the curses on the road were just complaints about God's injustice, giving him the opportunity to perfectly experience the battle between knights and monsters, but asking him to sit in the room." Watching the fire from the other side.”
This was worse than killing him.
Fortunately, several projection screens were temporarily installed in the captain's cabin. Each screen was covered with cubicle-like videos, all of which were live shots from various locations on the river, which gave Spielberg some comfort.
"Miss, I will supervise the arms department and give you the footage of king fish and civilians." He sat in the captain's cabin for a few seconds, drank a glass of water, and then eagerly began to assign tasks.
Time waits for no one. If you miss it, there will be no next time.
"Okay." Lin Shuyu cooperated with a faint smile, the fluorescence in his peripheral vision never leaving Spielberg's hands.

"Abba!"
A Ping, a pretty fisherman girl who was playing with Kang Na, had red and swollen eyes and tears. She stretched out her hands at the edge of the cabin and cried loudly. Then she was hugged by the waist by a woman with a charming figure and a wheat complexion and pulled her in. In the dead boat, as the cabin door was sealed, the strange fish that rushed onto the deck hit the door with its head due to excessive force.
