Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 96 Tang De’s Tang
  No matter how reluctant Dion is, he is still the cinematographer of this film, but now there is one more person who can give advice on his work.

Director's assistant and cinematographer, Tang De.

In the days that followed, the crew could often see director Rob and Tang De chatting and laughing happily. Zeta-Jones and Richard often joined in, and several people discussed the shooting of the camera and how to make the actors exude more charm.

Of course, the other heroine Renee could not endure this situation that seemed to isolate her, and she would not be outdone and broke into the conversations of several people during the filming break.

"Hey! Donde. Hey! Rob. Hey! Richard!" Renee's every frown and smile carried the charm of the heroine in the play, both charming and reserved, as if she had not stepped out of the play at all.

She greeted all three men, but ignored Zeta Jones, which made Zeta Jones raise his eyebrows.

"What are you talking about? The next scene should be my solo dance..." Renee smiled brightly, with the corners of her mouth curved sharply, and the apples of her muscles moved up, like a puppet that can be seen everywhere in the United States. baby.

"We...were talking about women." Rob shrugged, his expression a little playful.

"Woman..." Renee turned sideways and stretched out her hand to slowly lift up the shiny silver skirt on her legs, revealing her white thighs: "Is she this kind of woman?"

Donde and Rob looked at each other, and Richard couldn't help but whistle: "It's so sexy, Renee, I can't wait to see you dance."

"Haha, right?" Renee glanced at Zeta Jones proudly and found that she had a cold face, and her mood immediately improved.

"Then you should look forward to it. I have spent a lot of effort practicing this dance." Renee is right. She has put in a lot of hard work for the smooth muscle lines on her body.

After filming "BJ's Diary" last year, she has been losing weight and exercising, and also has dance rehearsals. It can be said that she has never relaxed every day.

"But what are you talking about about women..." After she finished showing off herself, she changed the topic back, but this time her voice and tone finally returned to normal.

"We were talking about how to take good pictures of women... To be honest, I really didn't expect that, Tang De, you are so young but have so much experience." Robb had an expression of disbelief on his face, because Tang De had said a lot to him just now. Dry stuff.

Including how to make a woman look more beautiful and sexy through the lens and how to change a woman's appearance and affect her temperament through lighting.

After listening to it, Rob felt that he had really found a treasure. His play was all about women, which was just right for Tang De to play.

So this also made him more curious about Tang De's previous experience.

"I used to take sexy underground photos of women." Tang De told his experience in an understatement. That period of life of taking adult photos of female models has become a topic of conversation now.

"Real or false?" Renee and Zeta Jones were both surprised.

"One hundred percent true."

"No wonder..." Zeta-Jones thought thoughtfully. She had watched the clip that Tang De had filmed for her. It was indeed full of sexual tension. It was a feeling of hormonal explosion. Even she felt a little dry after watching it. Dry tongue, not to mention those men.

These images are undoubtedly more in line with Chicago's revelry.

When Renee heard this, she hurriedly said: "Then you have to pat me well...make my legs, my hands, and my face look better!"

"Am I the one taking the photo again?" Tang De looked at Rob.

Rob hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Renee's longing eyes, he nodded and said: "Yes...that's right, Tang De, come on, I'll let Dion take the secondary camera position for you."

"Ok."

Dion behind a few people scratched his head irritably, it was Tang De again, did he really need to continue working as a photographer?

Just give it to Tang De.

Renee's scene was shot soon. This scene is her own monologue on the stage. The stage design team arranged for her to shuttle through various mirrors to represent her narcissism.

But during filming, Renee was just halfway through the dance when Tang De suddenly stopped: "No... Director... this is not right."

"What's wrong?" Rob frowned. He felt that there was nothing wrong with the scene in front of him, just like a well-rehearsed dance.

Renee's dance is both powerful and beautiful. The dark stage is neatly arranged with mirrors, reflecting her individual dance.

But Tang De shook his head: "This scene is not as beautiful as other scenes."

There are many classic dance scenes in the movie "Chicago", such as the group dance of a prison woman murdering her husband, such as the puppet show dance where Renee was given puppet makeup and Richard played the role of the manipulator.

There is also a group dance in the court that constantly switches between reality and dreams.

These dances are of high aesthetic quality both in choreography and scene setting, and are very enjoyable.

But there are also a few dances in the film that are not amazing enough, such as the current mirror dance.

In Tang De's opinion, it is mainly due to photography and scene layout. Photography wastes the carrier of the mirror and does not have any commendable lens design at all. On the scene, the mirrors are too neat and uniform, without highlighting the key points.

The whole dance relied entirely on the actor's charisma, which made the impression less than impressive. This may be one of the reasons why "Chicago" did not win the Oscar for Best Cinematography. It clearly has such a unique scene but it did not make good use of it, preferring to shoot flat.

Therefore, when he took charge of filming, he immediately pointed this out, even though the storyboard had been approved by the director and others.

But again, Tang De couldn't tolerate imperfect works in his hands.

"But this is the best arrangement we have ever made." The stage teacher came over with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

You must know that mirror dance is the most difficult to choreograph, or any scene related to mirrors is very difficult to create, because of the mirror reflection, it is easy to mess up.

"That's right, Tang De, I think the current mirror dance is okay." Rob also agreed with the dance statement.

Upon seeing this, Dion also agreed: "We have carefully discussed and studied every scene in this movie... If you have never done stage design, you may not understand this very well."

The other crew members all turned their attention, wanting to hear what Tang De planned to do.

Renee also sat on the edge of the stage, swaying her legs and staring at Tang De.

Dion was very happy. He didn't expect that this boy Tang De would be so arrogant. You must know that the stage design is the soul of this movie. If you dare to veto the effect of the stage design, it is equivalent to challenging the entire crew.

Even because this stage teacher is one of the stage artists of this stage play in Chicago, he is equivalent to challenging this classic Broadway show on his own.

Dion raised the corner of his mouth, wanting to see how he would end up. The next moment, Tang De stood up, left the camera and came to the stage.

"Tang De, what are you going to do?" Rob asked loudly. In order to avoid increasing costs, time cannot be wasted.

Tang De didn't reply, he just rearranged the mirror according to his own ideas.

"Well, it seems he's very persistent." Dion shrugged and gave a fake smile.

Then he saw someone walking in from the door, wearing a white shirt and black tie. The man, who was still wearing a suit and leather shoes even in summer, walked quickly to everyone. It was the producer of the film Bert Hurley.

"Why have you stopped filming? Rob, we can only rent this venue until 12 o'clock tonight! It's already 8 o'clock. If we don't finish filming, we will have to pay for an extra day!" Belt spoke very directly, with a frown on his face. Can kill a fly.

Without waiting for Rob to explain, Dion began to add insult to injury: "Mr. Bert, it's nothing. It's just that the assistant director said that the rehearsal of the mirror dance scene was not good enough and wanted to temporarily change the position of the mirror."

"What the hell!" Belt cursed: "When did there be an additional assistant director? Rob, you have to explain to me! Why is there an additional assistant director temporarily? Do you know that this costs money? ? And why did he change the already rehearsed dance? Is he Spielberg or Cameron, messing around like this on set!"

"Bert, don't be impatient!" Robb quickly dissuaded Bert from continuing to rage.

Ke Lin, who was watching not far away, ran over to help and said, "Oh, Mr. Belt, I think it's not too late to see what the assistant director thinks first."

"What?" Bert frowned and was about to reply, but someone else came over to help Tang De.

It was the art director John Mayer. He also advised: "Don't worry, Bert, Tang De has helped us solve a lot of problems. I believe he is not joking."

Dion curled his lips when he heard this and snorted secretly.

Damn, why are so many people favoring that guy?

Dion raised his head and glanced at Tang De, who was still busy minding his own business, feeling really unhappy.

When Bert saw so many people speaking for Tang De, he couldn't continue to get angry for a while. He could only sigh: "Okay, okay! Since you all believe in him so much, tell me what he is like first." Who is it? What did I just hear? Tang De? "

"Yes, it's Tang De." Rob explained: "He was originally the deputy photographer, but I thought his skills and thinking were very good... Well, so I promoted him to deputy photographer and part-time photographer."

"I understand." Bert glanced at Dion and asked, "Then where is he now? Hmm... Tang De, that's what I remember..."

"He's right on the stage. Look, he's almost setting up the mirror." John raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the stage.

Following his line of sight, Bert turned to look at Tang De, who happened to jump down from the stage and look at him.

But just when Dion was expecting Bert to scold Tang De and then kick him out of the crew, the drama would unfold. But he found that Bert paused for a moment, then seemed to recognize Tang De's face, slapped his thigh and said: "Tang De! It turns out to be you! Tang!"

"What?" Others immediately became confused, not knowing what Bert was shouting.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I actually forgot to tell you!" Bert's face, which was still a little angry, changed to a completely different look at this time. He walked to Tang De cordially and held his hand. Everyone introduced: "He is Tang, the Tang who just won MTV's Best Director of the Year!"

"Tang?" Everyone said with confusion.

"Yes!" Belt smiled broadly: "Music magazines across the United States have now regarded his MV as a classic, and everyone is discussing his work. Even Cameron says his creativity is great!"
