Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Chapter 126 No way

Filming is still ongoing. A breeze carries the scent of rice blossoms, a unique fragrance of this place, and the air is fresh.

Far from the city, everything here has a beautiful and calming quality.

However, the oppressive atmosphere on set hadn't dissipated much in the past two days. Every member of the crew was on edge, and with a "click," many secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Another scene has been filmed and approved.

Huang Min stood up from the director's chair and said to Teacher Zhou Nian, "The next scene is crucial. When you look down at the hole under the stone slab, your eyes must convey helplessness and bewilderment—"

talking.

Huang Min even gave a personal demonstration.

After demonstrating, Huang Min pulled over a little girl and asked, "Have you memorized your lines?!" When the girl nodded, Huang Min took the backpack handed to him by a staff member and had her wear it, saying, "Don't be afraid, and don't stare at the camera. Just use the tone you use when you talk to strangers."

This little girl was specially chosen by Huang Min.

During the audition, Huang Min took a liking to her at first sight. Her eyes were clear and innocent, with a touch of childlike naiveté and timidity.

Then.

Filming for this crucial scene has officially begun.

The camera focused on Teacher Zhou Nian, who was holding a piece of clothing and walking over step by step. When he saw the drainage ditch from back then, he couldn't help but squat down and look down.

Here, Huang Min used an overhead shot to capture the entire rice paddy next to the drainage ditch. In the original version, this shot was a through shot; when the male lead walked over, the rice paddy had not yet been harvested, but by the time he bent down, the rice paddy next to him had already been harvested, yet none of the viewers noticed.

I only remember this most stunning shot in film history.

The second camera was filming Teacher Zhou Nian looking down inside. Teacher Zhou Nian looked around, then, as Huang Min had asked, took off his glasses, frowned, and continued looking inside.

"What's inside!?"

Suddenly, a little girl's voice rang in her ears. Teacher Zhou instinctively stood up, and the camera focused on the girl's back. The girl asked again, "What are you looking at!?"

Teacher Zhou sat by the ditch, smiling as he replied, "Nothing!?"

"strangeness"

The camera focused on the girl, and noticing that she subconsciously glanced at the camera beside her, Huang Min called out "Cut!" He then walked over to the girl and said with a smile, "Were you looking at the camera just now? " Seeing that the girl suddenly became unusually nervous, Huang Min reassured her, "It's okay, it's normal to have retakes. We'll do another take. Just act at the same pace as before. You have a lot of acting potential."

Huang Min's smile seemed to have relaxed the girl a lot, and she nodded seriously.

"Director Huang, I'm sorry—"

After Huang Min finished speaking about his daughter, her mother quickly came over to apologize.

"fine"

Huang Min waved his hand.

They did it again, and the girl was much better, but her expression seemed tense and she looked very nervous. Huang Min had to stop filming again and change directors. This part of the scene could have been filmed separately, but Huang Min felt that with Teacher Zhou's cooperation, the girl would be more natural and her eyes would have a fixed focus.

Several more takes were rejected.

The girl finally settled down, mainly because Huang Min had a very good attitude.

"A while ago, someone was squatting here looking inside. I asked him the same question: What are you looking at here?"

Teacher Zhou Nian paused for a moment.

He asked, "What did he say?!"

The setting sun cast a warm yellow glow on her mind and body, turning her face a golden hue. The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "He remembered what he used to do here, so he came back to take a look."

On the monitor.

The third camera, positioned not far away, captured a wide shot of the two figures, one sitting on the edge of a field and the other standing beside it.

The male lead, who played the role on anniversary, hurriedly asked, "Did you see his face clearly?!"

The girl nodded.

"What does he look like!?"

"he----"

The girl thought for a moment before saying, "Just like usual."

"In which aspect!?"

"They're all very ordinary."

Upon hearing the girl's answer, Teacher Zhou's eyes flickered a few times, her expression became serious, and then, as if realizing something, she turned her head to face the camera directly.

"Click"

Huang Min shouted into the walkie-talkie, "This one's through!"

Teacher Zhou quickly came over and asked, "I don't quite understand the last shot. Why do we need to look at the camera lens?"

?

"This isn't for you or the audience; it's for the killer."

Huang Min replied.

Everyone says that the last shot is the most shocking shot, but no one expected it during filming. It's just that so many people chose to interpret the shot in various ways. From Huang Min's point of view, it's just an ordinary eye shot. Because of the groundwork laid in the previous scenes, many movie fans felt that this eye shot struck their souls.

"Want another one!?"

Teacher asked on the anniversary.

"Then let's have one more!"

Huang Min had no objection to this.

After this scene was filmed, the rice paddies that had just been bathed in a warm yellow light gradually darkened. Huang Min and the crew members personally prepared a wrap-up gift for the little girl, as well as a red envelope from Huang Min.

After the girl finished eating the cake, her mother asked Huang Min somewhat nervously, "Director Huang, do you really think my daughter has the talent to be an actress?"

"some"

Huang Min nodded: "After this movie is released, if there are no unexpected events, your daughter might be accepted by a performing arts academy. But let her focus on her studies first, and we can consider these things when she's of age."

"I believe in Director Huang"

The woman quickly replied.

"No, ultimately it depends on what you parents think. I was just saying it casually. After all, once this movie is released and Xiao Can becomes famous, it's not impossible for you parents to let her take on more roles if you want to earn more money."

In closing, Huang Min couldn't resist cracking a joke.

No, it won't.

The woman shook her head.

The filming was finished, and the wrap party cake was eaten. After her mother reminded her, the girl said goodbye to Huang Min and several crew members before being driven away.

Teacher Zhou Bo watched the entire scene. Although he couldn't see anything, Huang Min's control over the camera was indeed very skillful. He incorporated the light, rice paddies, and wind into the shot, making it look exceptionally natural, as if a murder had actually occurred there.

Just as Hwang Min was preparing to film the next scene.

Yang Dong appeared on set.

He walked over from the east, and Huang Min, who had already heard the staff's report, spoke directly before Yang Dong got close, saying, "You've got guts! Daring to appear in front of me."

Done.

Huang Min shouted to the surrounding staff, "Where are you all? What has the film set become? It's a public place! Just kick out any irrelevant people and don't let it affect the normal filming of the crew."

The director spoke.

Two staff members hurriedly stopped Yang Dong as he approached.
