Chapter 245 Robbing the Bank! (The third update asks for subscription!)

Tang An watched the performance on the stage first. There were still some minor problems just now, but Tang An never stopped.

Take a whole shot, find out all the problems, and then give a lecture to several actors one by one.

"Deng Kai, look here. When you first came out, the camera was on your side. Now you are walking forward, waving to the audience in front of you. Don't sneak your eyes at the camera here!"

"Director Tang, I'm sorry, I just remembered to look for a seat." Deng Kai said embarrassingly, rubbing his head.

"Be careful next time, everything is going according to plan!"

Stars who are good at variety shows have a strong sense of camera, and we can easily find this when watching variety shows.

You are like Running Man, although there are often many people in the same frame, but in retrospect, it seems that Deng Chao, Cheng He, and Deng Kai are the most prominent, and they are also the few who have the best sense of the camera.

The other people changed after another, there were handsome guys, beautiful women, and some with distinctive looks, but none of them could steal the audience's attention.

Wasn't Jiang Xiaodi very popular in a certain period of time, but if you watch her on the show and patronize the game, she is easily ignored by the audience.

That is, if you don't know how to play variety shows, you can't make yourself stand out, no matter how famous or beautiful you are, it doesn't matter.

"You guys should also pay attention. Everything is going according to the plan. We are shooting as a whole, it is you four knights. It is not your individual performance that attracts the audience, but this magic. There is no need to deliberately find the camera. There are more than 30 people on the scene. A camera will not miss you, and there will be no shortage of necessary close-up shots.”

Although only half of the two-minute long shots appeared in the movie, it was enough to test their performances.

The longer the time, the more error-prone places, Tang An tried to mention every point as much as possible.

After finishing speaking, Tang An let out the monitor and asked them to watch and figure it out for themselves.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any questions?"

"The expressions of the audience are still not in place. It may have just started now, and they haven't entered the state yet. It should be much better later." Chen Guofu said, looking back at the monitor.

"In this case, we can blur all the shots in the auditorium." Zhang Jizhong thought for a while and made a suggestion.

"Director Zhang is right. We mainly shoot some close-up shots." Teng Huatao nodded in agreement.

This method was originally used in the film. Except for the few rows of audience on the far side, the others are all CG people.

In the later stage, the lighting is processed, and then the blurring is done. Except for the close-up shots, the faces cannot be seen clearly at all.

Not to mention the human face, there is only the outline of a human figure there.

"Then what's the point of us hiring a real person, it's better to do special effects in the later stage!" Tang An shook his head and said.

"Since we have filmed, we must do our best within the scope of our ability. It just so happens that their performance is still a little flawed. Let's do it again."

"Director Tang is right. With so many viewers, we can't waste it. Besides, this film will be sold all over the world, and foreigners should see our big scenes in our country!"

The director had already spoken, and they could only nod in response, and each took the walkie-talkie to give instructions to the assistant director and executive director in charge of their respective areas.

After adjusting for more than half an hour, the shooting continued.

Filming is not really performing magic, it is more cumbersome than magic.

The final game scene of "Shaolin Soccer" also recruited thousands of local citizens to shoot, and it took more than a month to shoot.

Of course, "Now Now You See Me" will definitely not take so long, after all "Shaolin Soccer" only has 22 actors on the field, and there are many action scenes.

In the end, the first scene was not filmed until a quarter past 11 o'clock that night.

It took more than 4 hours to shoot a 2-minute scene, and in the end, only a little more than one point was available.

The audience at the scene was so disappointed all night, they just watched them repeat a scene there.

Shout Ka after the performance, get ready to walk again, and shout Ka again.

It's different from what I imagined!

Tang An also knew that their little grievances were really boring.

In order to appease everyone, Tang An had already prepared supper.

On the first day, come to a meaty dish, fried chicken legs + juice, and stuff their mouths with food.

It’s much cheaper than KFC chicken if you fry it yourself.

In the next few days, the progress has been maintained at about the same level.

On the second day, a ball with numbers engraved on the scene was used to select a person to rob the bank he mentioned.

Although I only finished this scene, it may be that the audience has gotten used to it (numbed) due to yesterday's experience, and they don't have much dissatisfaction.

Tang An also replaced the chicken legs and fruit juice for supper with fried rice noodles and mineral water.

It is not easy to be in charge of the house, so it is a little bit to save a little.

It would have been nice not to give the big white steamed buns.

And this scene is not unwatchable, at least there are some humorous lines.

"Who here now has a bank they want us to rob?"

"It seems that many people have a grudge against the bank."

When he learned that it was DBS Bank, Singapore's largest commercial bank with more than 2000 companies, he showed a wry smile.

"Actually, we prefer to have local banks, some small banks with little security."

The shooting is still in full swing, and the situation in the venue is also spread out along with the audience and reporters.

Of course, it's just words, no one can bring shooting equipment in.

Since the bank robbery has not yet started, naturally there is no explosive news.

But as each day passed, this sense of anticipation grew stronger.

During this period, "The King of Kung Fu", which is currently showing in theaters, is still harvesting box office.

Although the movie has a bad reputation, relying on the super appeal of several big stars, it still won a box office of 6000 million in the first weekend.

As of May 5, "The King of Kung Fu", which has been released for seven days, has won a total of more than 1 million yuan at the box office in the mainland, and it is estimated that the box office will exceed 7 million yuan at the latest on Saturday.

According to this trend, 1.5 million is a little overhang, and the probability of eventually exceeding [-] million is very high.

The first-day box office of "Iron Man", which was released on April 4, also exceeded 30 million. As a new superhero, he has no reputation in the mainland. It can be said that it is very good to have this figure.

In a blink of an eye, the May Day holiday is here. On the night of the 1st, "Now You See Me" finally started filming the main scene, and really started to rob the bank.

After waiting for almost a week, the audience finally got their long-awaited scene, and they came to the scene early that night and sat down.

Outside the venue, many media and even TV reporters were standing guard, trying to interview the audience to get first-hand information after the filming was over.

For the first time today, Wang Zhongjun didn't advertise anymore. You must know that he didn't miss a single day in the past few days.

"The exhaust fan is sure there is no problem, is the power enough?"

"Have tried it many times during the day, absolutely no problem!"

"Is the prop money ready?"

"Already coded!"

"Okay, let's do a final check and start in half an hour!"
