Chapter 825 Shooting(1/2)
Qiong Province, Sanya City, Central Airport.
Tan Yue and his party saw the staff who came to pick them up from the exit, and the crew members boarded the bus one after another.
Tan Yue, Ma Guoliang, and Xin Zhi were sitting in the same business car.
Liu Qian doesn't have too many roles, and she will join the cast after some time.
Tan Yue asked: "The power-on ceremony will be held tomorrow morning. How are the preparations going?"
"As per your request, everything needed for the power-on ceremony has been prepared."
The speaker is Gu Xingwang, who is one of the middle-level executives in the film department and is expected to be promoted to supervisor within two years. After finding the filming locations needed for the film, he has been staying here to be responsible for preparations before the start of filming.
Tan Yue nodded slightly, then looked at the shooting schedule in his hand, thinking about the next work.
This was not Tan Yue's first time here, and the scenery outside the car window did not appeal to him much.
Ma Guoliang has been studying the script with his head down.
Xin Zhi was different from them, watching the scenery flashing by on the roadside.
A commercial vehicle and two buses drove to the port, and the group took a pre-rented boat to the island.
Many employees stood on the deck overlooking the endless sea.
Some employees with familiar attributes began to chat with the sailors on the ship.
"Can we get to that island only by boat?"
"Well, it's the only mode of transportation."
"All the daily supplies on the island are transported by these ships?"
"Did you see the island in front of you? It's right there. It's very close and it's quite convenient."
People on the deck looked towards the island not far away.
Surrounded by sea water, it was like a small boat in the sea, which made many employees feel that the shooting conditions this time would be very difficult.
The boat approached the shore, and after seeing the buildings on the island, their concerns were put to rest.
As described on the Internet, it is fully equipped and looks like a miniature city.
After a tiring journey and arranging accommodation, Tan Yue let the employees move freely and start shooting tomorrow.
…
…
The next day, early in the morning.
In the only square on the island, a banner was pulled up - 'The movie "The Truman Show" is about to start filming!'.
Keeping everything simple is what Tan Yue means.
There was no stage set up this time, just a simple banner for placing things needed for blessing on the table.
All the crew members are here, and under the leadership of Tan Yue, they are holding the opening ceremony one by one in order.
For local residents, seeing this scene was very novel and attracted many people to watch.
Tan Yue did not ask the staff to stop the onlookers from taking photos. After all, he also invited several news media, and the opening ceremony of "The Truman Show" will be reported.
The crew is relatively low-key and only invited six media. The cameras in their hands never stopped and were recording the entire process. They are all the latest news. Once released, they will definitely cause an uproar on the Internet. They dare not miss anything.
.
Tan Yue stood in the front and spoke. The main content was to thank the local residents for agreeing to their filming. There was still relatively little news about related movies.
After the opening ceremony, Tan Yue briefly answered a few questions from reporters. As for the issues related to the movie, he kept silent on the grounds of confidentiality.
Interviews with Ma Guoliang and other leading actors also had the same result.
Before the movie is released, Tan Yue doesn't want to reveal too much. Only by maintaining a sense of mystery can it arouse the audience's interest.
Everyone came to the shooting location, and under the command of Tan Yue, they began to set up the scene and set up the camera, and the entire crew became busy.
After lunch, the staff took a short break and then continued working.
"Raise that camera a little higher." Tan Yue was wearing a peaked cap, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other.
Ma Guoliang, who was sitting under the tent, was putting on makeup and his eyes were always on the script. It was okay if he didn't take the script, but once he took the script, this guy really seemed to be possessed by a demon.
Truman's life has been broadcast live, so some shots look like they were shot by a pinhole camera. Tan Yue came to the camera to see if it was adjusted properly.
The assistant director trotted over and said, "Director Tan, the venue is all set up."
After confirming that there was no problem with the camera, Tan Yue said: "Notify all departments to prepare and turn it on immediately."
"Okay." The assistant director left.
Ma Guoliang came to the room, tidied his clothes, took a deep breath to adjust his condition.
After a while, Tan Yue took the walkie-talkie and said: "Each department will make one final confirmation."
"No problem" came from the intercom one after another.
Tan Yue sat in front of the monitor, holding a loudspeaker and shouted: "Start."
The steward in front of the camera held a board: "The first scene of The Truman Show, first shot, action."
Truman looked at himself in the mirror and said: "I can't do it anymore, you can continue."
"You can't give up. Even if you break your leg, you have to climb the mountain."
"You're crazy, you know that?"
"Come, tell me something new."
"Okay, at least promise me one thing. If I die on the way, you can eat me as food."
"How disgusting."
Truman's serious face showed a hint of anger:
"Damn it, eat me, that's an order, do you hear it?"
"It's okay to just eat the belly. I have a cute belly."
"A little bit."
At this time, Truman was interrupted by his wife's voice outside the door: "Truman, you're going to be late.
"Click."
Tan Yue stood up and came over to tell Ma Guoliang the problems in this scene.
When filming just started and something went wrong, Tan Yue didn't interrupt directly because he wanted Ma Guoliang to get a feel for acting.
"Teacher Ma, when you are acting in this scene, you need to be more focused when you look in the mirror. Truman's character is a bit weird, like a child immersed in his own world."
Ma Guoliang nodded thoughtfully. He had performed this scene many times in front of the mirror at home.
Even last night I was practicing non-stop in the hotel.
I haven't acted for a while, so I feel a bit rusty.
"There are no problems with his lines, speaking speed, and tone." Tan Yue affirmed Ma Guoliang's excellence.
After a while, Ma Guoliang said: "Director Tan, it's okay, let's continue filming."
Tan Yue returned to the monitor, picked up the speaker and said: "Every department is ready, let's start."
The second time, Ma Guoliang completed the filming of the first scene brilliantly.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was getting dark.
"I'm here for now. Pack your things and go back to rest." The assistant director used a loudspeaker to convey Tan Yue's message.
The crew left the filming location one after another, and Tan Yue was still sitting in front of the monitor watching the two scenes shot today.
Ma Guoliang got into the role very quickly, and there were basically no problems in the two scenes in the afternoon.
Now what Tan Yue wants to see is whether some details have been handled properly, especially in the second scene. There are many extras, and their facial expressions are also crucial.
Tan Yue looked at the picture frame by frame, and there were several people beside him who were also staring attentively.
"Okay, not bad."
After confirming that there was no problem, Tan Yue said: "You should all go back and rest quickly. The first day is a warm-up. The work in the future will be more arduous."
Heung Kong Daily News Building.
Zhao Hongjun, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, swiped the screen of his mobile phone.
"Ding dong."
A piece of news comes in.
Zhao Hongjun pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a hint of surprise in his voice:
"Tan Yue is actually filming a movie in the South China Sea!"
Suddenly an idea came to his mind. He wanted to schedule an exclusive interview with Tan Yue.
