The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 387 "The Hangover" is on
At 2007:3 pm on March 31, 9, Las Vegas was brightly lit and the sky was full of stars.

In a meeting room of the Four Seasons Hotel, Li Shengyao sat at the front, and a group of people sat opposite him.

This group of people are all from Huaxia, his assistant, assistant director, and the filming crew.

They are all selected, people who know at least some English.

Li Shengyao was used to the previous shooting team, and considering the cost, he naturally brought them along.

Now most of the filming licenses for "The Hangover" have come down, and the four leading actors headed by Zach have come.

Plus Lively, who will be on fire in the beautiful country in a few months, signed.

Li Shengyao intends to officially launch the machine tomorrow.

Before starting the machine, he planned to have a good chat with the villagers to avoid some bad problems that would affect the shooting.

These people were all brought by him from Huaxia, in case there is any problem.

When the time comes, it will inevitably be brought to the crew, and they can say that they all prosper and all lose.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Li Shengyao said slowly, "I called everyone here today for a small meeting. There are four points, and I need to explain them clearly to you."

He continued, "The first point is that no matter what you do here, if it's not a public place, you must not be alone with the locals."

"This local person is not only a woman, but also a man."

Hollywood is a vanity fair, for money, those field workers and low-level actors will do anything.

Many Hollywood stars blackmailed them in the past.

Later, Hollywood studios, in order to put an end to such a phenomenon.

Group performances, field workers are prohibited from chatting with the stars.

Its name is to keep the stars in shape, but it is actually to avoid touching porcelain.

Those who are a little bit famous, like Lively, must have at least one assistant to follow them when they go to filming. No matter where they go, someone will follow them, so as to avoid being alone with other people.

Although the members of Lee Sung Yew's filming team are not celebrities and wealthy people, they have special identities. If someone jumps out and says that they are insulted and discriminated against.

Of course the crew is responsible.

So the best way is not to be alone with the locals.

Li Shengyao went on to say: "The second point is to pay attention to theft. All our things, no matter whether they are large or small, must be taken care of. We must arrange other people to watch them for convenience and rest."

After all, Pretty Country is the most popular Guo Jia of Lingyuangou.

There are really many petty thefts here, and the main thing is that the whole people don't care.

The cost of being caught is very low, not to mention blunt sanctions, and even the most basic moral condemnation is rare.

Just click on a zero purchase, or grab a video of the theft.

Looking carefully at the comments of netizens in the beautiful country, more than [-]% of them are asking the victim why they put important things on their body, in the car, and why they brought them out.

The vast majority of them do not see this as a moral matter.

More people think that the robbers are in trouble at home, or mentally unhealthy, and they consider it from the standpoint of these people.

It is difficult for Chinese people to understand.

"The third point, you must pay attention to your tone of voice. I bought you all recording pens. Open them when you have nothing to do. Don't give people a chance."

This point is similar to the first point.

Don't give other people a chance to go crazy. The people in the beautiful country have no bottom line. They will seize every opportunity for money.

If the tone is slightly wrong, a big hat of discrimination will come over.

This is the real reason why the rich stars here are so amiable.

"Fourth point, don't accept interviews from media reporters."

Regarding this point, Lee Sheng Yew was worried that other people would dig holes for the media.

As Huaxia becomes stronger and stronger, as Yanjing\Olympic\Games approach.

Xifang Guo Jia, headed by the beautiful country, is gradually worried that starting in 07, they will increasingly target Chinese people.

Better be careful at this time.

If possible, he still hopes to return to China to shoot, and it will be almost the same after two or three years.

When the others heard Li Shengyao's words, most of them didn't understand very well. They stared at him blankly with big eyes.

At this time, the name of the light\tower in the beautiful country is still very loud, and many people think that the air here is sweet and the people are kind.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao immediately stated the facts and reasoned. After a lot of rhetoric, more people finally believed his words.

However, there are still a few people with ignorant faces, it can be seen that they did not understand.

With a big wave of his hand, Li Shengyao said, "The four points I mentioned are the iron rules. You all keep them in mind. I will arrange someone to watch over them. If anyone doesn't abide by them, then I'm sorry and go back to China."

If you come to work in the beautiful country, the salary will naturally be higher.

When they heard that they were rushing back to China, whether they understood it or not, they all nodded nervously, expressing that they understood, and must bear in mind Director Li's request.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao clapped his hands, "Okay, remember everything, you guys supervise each other, and there will be rewards for reporting."

……

At ten o'clock the next morning, a group of men and women gathered in front of a small building on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

They are the crew of "The Hangover".

There is no need for a desk, no need for a fruit incense altar, but Director Li took the microphone, then said some nonsense, and then announced that "The Hangover" was officially launched.

Amidst the applause, the movie started.

Everyone got busy immediately.

The biggest difference between filming in the beautiful country and filming in China is that it is very quiet here, while the country is much noisy.

When Li Shengyao was in China, he would also discuss with the assistant director and the photographer how to shoot the next day's scene, and he would make a schedule, and he would notify in advance of what scene to shoot the next day.

But here in the beautiful country, there will also be a schedule, or an announcement list.

Compared with domestic countries, the schedule of the beautiful country is much more detailed.

Almost everyone in the crew, such as actors, field workers, lighting assistants, and photography assistants, carefully explained the work of the next day.

The crew members, as long as they come here, basically everyone has something to do, and they also know what they are doing.

With this arrangement, the set is relatively more orderly and much quieter.

At this time, the actors were putting on makeup, and Lee Shengyao planned to shoot those unimportant scenes first.

For example, one of the male protagonists, the bridegroom gets married, this kind of scene is simple.

Not only for the actors, but also for his domestic filming crew to adapt to time.

Li Shengyao noticed that actors like Zac did not communicate with each other. Everyone was either cooperating with the makeup artist, or closing their eyes quietly.

The field workers all avoided the actors and walked quietly.

This is very common in Hollywood studios. Little stars just sit quietly, while big stars have their own RV.

Does this mean that there is no script seminar here, or that actors play against each other?

of course not.

It's just that they put the confrontation in working hours.

Hollywood movies will do more preparatory work before the official shooting.

When filming in China, the director gave the actors the script, and then explained their own requirements, allowing the actors to play freely.

In Hollywood, the director's work is relatively more onerous.

The first step in shooting a Hollywood movie set is the director's positioning.

All the actors, lighting, and photography have been looked at. The director will move the actors to be shot next, and go through them one by one, telling them how to move, how to keep up, how to design, and what angle to choose. These are the lighting photography. Assistant directors to consider.

Generally, after the director takes the position, the actors will be arranged for rehearsal.

At this time, the director will stand again, watch them rehearse, and then make some adjustments. After achieving the result he wants, he will start shooting.

This seems to take more time to shoot, but the Hollywood set should be relatively less NG.

Some action directors on Hong Kong Island have been compared, and the progress of filming in Hollywood is similar to that of ordinary Hong Kong Island movies.

Soon after the actors finished their makeup, Li Shengyao clapped his hands and called all the actors over, as well as the lighting engineer, cameraman, and assistant director.

Then he started to move around, explaining the positions and movements of all the important characters.

The others didn't understand very well, so he continued walking while talking.

Reposition twice,

After everyone understood, he stepped aside and let the actors rehearse.

The four leading actors, as well as Lively, and the extras rehearsed immediately.

At this time, the actors will communicate.

They rehearsed four times in a row, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. Li Shengyao corrected some minor problems and felt that it was almost done, and then announced that the official shooting was about to begin.

They have already thought about the lighting and photography. After the actors have finished their makeup, they will start the formal shooting immediately.

In this scene, the groom, one of the leading actors, gets married. The four of them hurried to the wedding scene, changed into their clothes, and then celebrated together.

Among them, he was wearing a donkey hat and a piece of green grassland on his head. The glasses brother who was originally a goat would be angry with his girlfriend and break up on the spot.

The plot doesn't look difficult.

However, it is still difficult to shoot, mainly because there are many people in the wedding scene.

The photographer first covered the entire wedding with a wide-angle lens, and then gradually locked the lens on the four male protagonists.

There is nothing wrong with such a choice.

Li Shengyao sat behind the director's monitor, staring at the small screen seriously.

He soon discovered that there was an unexpected shot.

There was a group performer who walked around randomly and didn't follow his previous request.

This person probably wanted to rub the camera and walked towards the four male protagonists. Because of this person's accidental shift, even the people around the male protagonists were a little confused.

Li Shengyao didn't call to stop immediately. After the four leading actors finished, he pointed out the problem, and then arranged for the actors to start shooting again.

That's how the filming started.

Probably because of rehearsals before, NG is indeed much less.

A scene with such a large number of characters can be over after filming five times.

Lee Sing Yew is very satisfied with the progress of this filming.

At this time, it was lunch time, and Li Shengyao and the actors went to get their lunch boxes together.

In the crew of "The Hangover", there are only five actors who are eligible to order their own lunch, that is, the four leading actors, and Lively.

Everyone else is eating drumstick steak coke.

Li Shengyao naturally ate Chinese food. He ordered hot and sour potato shreds, eggplant with minced meat, and Lively ordered a pasta and a cup of coffee.

The field workers had already prepared several small tables for the director.

Li Shengyao pulled a small stool and sat down, and Lively sat next to him.

"Li, your food seems to be very spicy."

The vast majority of beautiful Chinese people do not like spicy food.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Yes, I like spicy food."

Lively smiled, opened the lunch box, and started to eat, "I sincerely apologize to you. I underestimated you before. Not only do you write a great script, but you also understand Hollywood's filming methods very well. You are more stupid than I used to be." The directors of the previous crew were much better."

"I have seen some directors, he is not very clear about his own play, how to move, what emotions are needed, he doesn't quite understand."

"You are different, you know this very well."

"We quickly understood the effect you wanted, and it didn't take much effort to film with you."

I don't know what emotions I need, and I don't know how to move. Isn't such a director the king of sunglasses?
I don't deny that Wang Sunglass is indeed a genius of light and shadow, but being an actor for him is actually very painful.

Actors need to find their own feelings.

Except for Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui didn't like such aimless shooting.

And Director Li benefited from writing the script himself and having watched the movie in his previous life, so he knows exactly what kind of lens he needs.

Of course he wouldn't explain this to Lively.

"Small, as I said, if you give yourself a chance, you will never regret it."
