"Cut!" With Angela's shout, everyone stopped, and then focused on the girl. Just like the previous few times, she frowned and pinched her chin to look at the small screen, then shook her head at the photographer, and then waved to the people in the middle of the shooting venue: "One more time!"
This has been going on for a few days, or rather from the beginning, but it was relatively smooth at the beginning, no one found it strange, but it was always so confusing - only a few shots that didn't pass the test. It's because of the actors, and most of it - Angela said it herself - the cameraman!
This statement made everyone in the crew feel inexplicable. There is only one possibility for the cameraman to have a problem - not meeting the director's shooting requirements. Well, once or twice is enough, but the problem is 60% or even higher. Is the cameraman an intern
Maxim, who was in charge of mastering the camera, was very depressed. He felt that he did exactly what Angela asked, but why was he always cut because of the camera angle? However, the girl also said to him that most of the responsibility is not on him, but because he is too demanding, so he doesn't need to be under pressure to shoot repeatedly. Although this remark made Maxim's mood somewhat better, he also had greater doubts. How far should he be to meet her requirements? Looking back on the shooting that passed the previous level, there is nothing special about it, right
"Mark?" The voice rang in his ears, pulling the cameraman out of his memory.
"Yes Director, I'm here." Facing the girl's pale face that was a little angry and pale, he quickly apologized.
"From here to here, just turn the camera to 90, and then don't pull more than 8 meters away. All three people are in the camera, but each is just at the edge of the camera." After looking at him, Angela continued speak up.
"Okay, I understand." After expressing that she understood, the girl immediately went to another place, and Maxim, who had repeated it twice in his mind, suddenly understood that there is no director who even has such an accurate camera angle. required? It's okay to do it once or twice, but I ask this every time... What the hell does this girl director want to do
Not to mention the inexplicable nature of the cameraman, Angela, who walked into the center of the film, has already discussed with the three characters. This is the interior of the bank set up in the studio. After all, for an institution like a bank, you can rent it casually, not just by giving money. In the movie, of course, you can ask your father, but how could a girl do this.
The same goes for casinos, which tend to be more demanding than banks, and even in the 007 series, not many casino scenes are filmed in real casinos. But even if the casino really agreed, Angela couldn't shoot, neither she nor Mina were under the age to legally enter the casino, so in the end they just set up a set in the studio.
In this scene, Lola ran to the bank for the first time. She happened to meet the conversation between her father and the secretary's mistress. After a big fight, she was kicked out. Whether it is Hugo Weaving who plays the banker or Delia Sharman who plays the secretary's mistress, they are all in place. And Mina is also remarkable. However, because of Angela's personal reasons, the first shot could not be passed, and it must be said that it was a very depressing thing.
"Thank you for your performance, it's excellent, it's all excellent, including you, Mina." Angela also knew this, so she tried to comfort the three of them, "If you feel uncomfortable because of my long repetitive shooting. Happy, then I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, after all, it's your first time as a director, so you must have your own ideas." Mina, with bright red hair dyed with a special potion, waved her hands indifferently. Nearly ten days of filming made her relationship with Angela. not bad.
And Delia's role is relatively small, and there is nothing to say. It's just that Hugo was a little unhappy. To be honest, he has seen quite a few weird directors, but this is the first time he has seen someone who is so strict about the camera lens. Started to wonder if it was the right thing to do with this script.
However, the girl's good upbringing and such a low profile made him not say much, just nodded: "It's nothing, every director will be a little eager for success when he takes charge of the director for the first time, this is not surprising, maybe it can be Try to slow down."
"Okay, Dad, let's talk about money first, don't try to get away with it." Mina interjected jokingly.
"I'm sorry, I don't have $500,000, or how about you go to the vault to get it, Lola?" Hugo laughed suddenly, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quite good.
Angela also smiled reluctantly: "Okay, then please prepare, let's do it again."
Seeing the girl turn around to leave, Mina suddenly chased after her and whispered in her ear, "Why don't you give the crew a break or something, just rest for a few days, your face looks very bad."
Angela turned her head back, her emerald green eyes flashed blankly, and then smiled softly: "You didn't say that because you wanted to wash your hair, Mina?"
"Wow, you actually guessed it, it's amazing," Mina exaggeratedly whispered, and then made a bitter look: "To be honest, my head is really itchy, and you let me wash it if you don't finish filming. Head, I must be crazy."
"Okay, it will be soon, don't worry." The girl patted her and returned to the director's seat.
"You look bad, or it's better to take a rest?" Matthew spoke at this time, Angela was stunned, and then laughed: "Why does everyone say I look bad? Am I really bad? Bad?"
"You should look in the mirror, there is almost no blood, and there is a word called exhaustion hidden all over your face." Before Matthew could finish speaking, the girl had already covered her forehead, and her eyes seemed a little hard.
"Are you uncomfortable? I think you should see a doctor." The assistant director was about to tell the assistant to stop, but Angela grabbed her: "Okay, Matthew, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
She took a deep breath: "Because the progress has not been smooth, there is some anxiety and trouble, it's nothing serious!"
Matthew looked at her for a few seconds before he said, "I still recommend you see a doctor."
"Okay, okay, then we have to wait for today's shooting to be completed." Angela frowned and waved, then looked at the others: "Is everyone ready? Then let's start."
The assistant director sighed for her persistence, then waved his hand as well: "Act 24, 33 scenes, start shooting!"
This time it seemed to go well. The three actors still maintained their previous performance standards. From Mina rushing into the office to the three people looking at each other, it was smooth and natural. Angela didn't call Cut anymore, but everyone thought it was over. At that time, the girl who watched over and over again on the monitor still shook her head.
"Twenty minutes of rest, it's still this scene!" Once the news was announced, all the crew members whispered. There has never been a scene like this one that has been repeated a dozen times over the past few days. What the hell is this girl? What do you want to shoot
"What is the specific problem, can you tell me?" Matthew walked over and asked with a frown. Continuing like this is not the way to go. Even if Angela doesn't care about a few film money, it will affect everyone's work mood.
"I'm sorry, Matthew, I..." The girl frowned and looked at the monitor, rubbing her temples, "I can't explain it clearly, in short, the problem lies with me, everyone is doing well, it's their own problem ."
Is not it? Everyone here knows that, right? Matthew smiled bitterly, knowing who the problem was, but also what the problem was before he could find a solution.
But he didn't say much. After thinking about it, he said: "I have a suggestion. You might as well try to shoot with one or two long takes. Lola rushed into the office and was kicked out by her father."
"Like when Lola went out?" Angela asked after thinking about it, her brows still wrinkled.
"Yes, at the time of this shot, but it was a pass, maybe you can try to shoot with this method!" The assistant director said seriously. The girl obviously showed her heartbeat, but after a few seconds she smiled wryly again, and she still shook her head after a moment of silence: "No, I'm not going to do this."
"Okay, that's your wish." Matthew opened his hands helplessly.
At this time, a staff member of the crew came over: "Miss Mason, there are two young ladies looking for you."
"Two young ladies?" Before the girl could react, a familiar voice rang out: "Angie! We're here to visit the class!"
Angela laughed, and immediately brought Lindsay, who staggered up and jumped to her face, and hugged, and then hugged Jessica, who was following behind Lindsay.
"I'm so glad you came to see me," the girl whispered.
"That's because we treat you as a friend, but some people are different, and they are reluctant to invite her to the trial meeting." Lindsay said with a pouting mouth.
"Okay, my dear, I explained to Nicole that I didn't participate in "The Island" because I was busy with work," Angela leaned down and pinched her little face, "Is it possible that the big stars are so narrow-minded? "
Lindsay grimaced and stopped talking, putting on a stinky look.
"Don't worry about her, Angie, she just can't wait to show it off." Jessica grinned and revealed her secret.
"Everyone said I played well..." The little guy muttered, and glanced at Angela.
"Okay, okay, I can watch the movie when it's released. Besides, I recommended you to go, how could I not know how good you are." The girl rubbed her head amusingly.
"I want to hear your praise..." Lindsay was still muttering, but after watching the set, she changed the subject: "How is your shooting progress? To be honest, I really want to be able to do it on the big screen now. See your director's work."
"This..." Angela smiled bitterly and looked around, "Let's go to the trailer and talk."
After leaving the studio, Lindsay looked around and raised her hand: "Where is the restroom here, I'm going to make it easier."
"Go along the way, turn left at the first intersection, and then you can see it." The girl pointed to the direction, and after the little guy ran away, she immediately added: "We are in the trailer!"
"Got it!" Lindsay called back, and soon disappeared without a trace. Angela and Jessica smiled at each other and got into the trailer next to them together.
"Come here for us two cups of coffee? Thank you!" After sending out the staff in the trailer, Angela and Jessica entered the temporary office, and the girl turned around and hugged her impatiently.
"It's good for you to see me, it's good for you to see me..." Angela, who put her head on Jessica's shoulder, murmured with her eyes closed, her tone full of exhaustion.
"Did something happen, Angie?" Jessica patted her back and asked distressedly, "The shooting didn't go well? The atmosphere on the set didn't seem to be very good, and you looked tired."
Angela smiled wryly and shook her head. After kissing her lightly on the lips, she released the other person: "I'm just a little anxious. It seems that the movie is not as easy to direct as I imagined."
She sighed and came to the small window of the trailer, her hands resting on the table and her head hanging down, she seemed a little dejected, Jessica thought about it and walked behind Angela: "I have no directing experience, so I can't give you any advice, if you feel If you are tired, take a rest for a few days, I believe that as long as you want to do it, you will be able to do it well!"
As she said that, she hugged the girl from behind, and only then did Jessica realize that Angela's body was shaking slightly. In surprise, she turned her head to look at the girl again, and saw that she frowned tightly and closed her eyes. His lips pursed into a gap, as if he was enduring something.
"What's the matter with you, Angie?" Jessica hugged Angela and hurriedly tried to find a seat for her to sit down.
"It's okay, I'm okay, Jesse, I'm just a little tired." Angela, who opened her eyes again, waved her hand, indicating that she was no big deal, but even the blind could see the fine cold sweat on her forehead.
"Don't lie to me, Angie, I've felt something is wrong since just now. You always sway when you walk. You must have been in pain just now. You need to see a doctor!" Jessica looked anxious and finally found a chair She pressed it on it, and then went outside to find someone.
"Okay, Jesse! I'm really fine!" Angela grabbed her arm and pulled her back, then stood up with a smile and raised her hands flat: "Look, I'm fine."
Without waiting for Jessica to speak, she hugged her and deliberately put on an ambiguous smile: "If you still need evidence, it's so quiet here, we can lock the door, how about it?"
Jessica was angry and funny, and shook her head resolutely: "You can't convince me, Angie, I saw it clearly just now, I'm not a fool, you need a doctor!"
"You are the best doctor!" Angela hugged Jessica again, put her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes again, "I am very satisfied with you coming to see me, you see, I'm very relaxed now."
Then, her body softened and fell on Jessica's body.
