Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One Kick
The final scene is the only "big scene" in the remake: several scenes held at the wedding.
Those priests read the oath and exchange wedding rings and other shots without reshooting. Ye Wei’s idea was to use soothing music to create a touching atmosphere. After all, the happy ending of love that comes to fruition is the original need of the audience. A pair of annoying ghosts will overcome all difficulties and get married. They will still be moved, kind people!
Touching and sentimentality are both good emotions, which will make a comedy story more meaningful and memorable, so this part will not be spoofed and will be dealt with as a serious drama.
But then the most important laugh point in the whole show! The wedding cake fell to the ground unexpectedly, the old version was Bourne and Kana clumsy, while the new version was kicked over by the God of Wedding.
To remake the scene, scenes, sets, costumes, etc., the old version of the scenes, of course, the actors present must be the same. Peter Heller spent a lot of time in production to restore it properly. The location is Santa Monica's "Simple Natural Events" manor, and the boss Annette agreed to let the crew take pictures for two hours from 15:00 to 17:00 this afternoon, free of charge, just put a thank-you advertisement on the end credits!
Today, more than 40 actors (mostly extras) have restored 70% to 80% of them, and the rest cannot be contacted, and no one is unhappy with contact. Recently, VIY is so popular, so the idiot won’t come.
At around 3:00 p.m., after school at Harvard West Lake Junior High School, Lev, Bud and other boys rushed over to the manor, and they wanted to be guest stars in the extra!
Lily and a few girls also came to visit the set. When they came to the set of the lawn surrounded by trees in the manor, the scene had already started filming.
This manor is styled to be close to nature, with ancient trees everywhere forming forests and flowers and plants. Spring makes the quaint atmosphere more intense, and the tall palm trees add romance. Coupled with the white gauze swaying in the wind, it is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.
Connie exclaimed repeatedly, saying, "My future wedding will be held here." Almost all the girls had a girlish vision. Except for Lily, she did not add to the topic. Although her eyes also looked around, there were no ripples of heart.
"You're finally here." Lev and his men came over there, and their happy words were very soft. "Our guest appearances are over, just now."
"Oh!" Connie felt very sorry, "I also want to be a guest star in the bridesmaid group."
Lev said happily: "I also want to be a member of the groomsman group, but Master Gia said it was no, it would be inconsistent with the previous ones. In the end, we sat in the back row of the guests to increase the number of people, which was also good!"
"Master Jiya?"
"Yes!", "She's so cool!" The boys were very excited, and even the autistic Colwin smiled. Master Gia had quickly conquered their hearts. Bud smiled foolishly, "She promised to bring us a piece of wine, haha!" Lev hurriedly booed, fat man, this is the secret!
"Wow, really?" Several girls also became interested.
“Cut!”
At this time, the deputy director stopped. Ye Wei in the performance area noticed Lily and the others, and immediately walked with a smile, "Hi, beauties, welcome to the VIY world!"
The filmmakers continued their work, and Jiya followed and looked at these girls. Of course she recognized who Lily Collins, the thick-browed girl wearing a colorful short-sleeved loose T-shirt and a dark blue knee-length skirt, was so beautiful.
"You are really here, the most exciting shot is about to be taken." Ye Wei greeted them, looked at Lily, and said, "You guys have to go back to work."
"Okay.", "Go, come on."
Jiya didn't leave. After leaving, she looked at Lily with interest, "I have something to tell you about your long-term date." Lily was a little nervous somehow: "Oh?" Jiya said, "His acting skills are so bad, and he's in trouble soon."
It turned out that the next shot of kicking the cake was a shot that must be passed in two, because the crew only prepared two three-layer wedding cakes, and only had two chances to play, otherwise it would be a big deal.
Everyone laughed. Lev looked at Jiya with admiration, his nose was a little red, and said, "Master Jiya, can I make a guest appearance in your promotional video? I performed very well in Wei Ge's short film "Good People Reward", at the Oscar nomination level."
He said excitedly again: "Yes, right, our school's film festival will be held tomorrow, Harvard-West Lake High School campus! You can also come, the tickets are first come first served, and there is no charge for any fees!" Bard nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master Jiya, we will take you in."
"I will go and see which bastard is competing for fourth place." Jiya smiled.
"Haha, Brother Wei told you!" Lev looked proud, "This sentence is my idea! It was Larry Bird's idea at first, but this is my idea!"
"You big nose mixed ball, you have a genital!"
Seeing that the boys and Gya were mingling and ignoring them, Lily, Triste, Connie and other girls got angry. These idiots had the ability to never chat with them!
While they were laughing, the crew there was also busy preparing. Ye Wei started to rehearse with fake cakes. Although there were two real cakes, the goal was one.
This shot has a dual function, one is funny, and the other is catharsis. Both form an explosive power. Because the audience loves the God of Wedding and wants to teach Bourne and Kana some lessons, his kick will make them excited and cheer, so it is not allowed to be missed!
Ye Wei really felt some pressure, the most tense scene in his career as a director and actor!
The rehearsal was fine, and it was about to come. He couldn't help but go over and whisper to the deputy director: "Let everyone cheer up and don't make any mistakes."
This is also the responsibility of the assistant director on the set: beat everyone up.
Jennifer Anderson, an old fried dough stick, understood more than Ye Wei. He looked serious and shouted while walking: "The whole world is full of energy and death. This is a moment of either success or death. Don't mess it up at all! Otherwise, we will have trouble, cheer up!"
The crew members immediately looked serious and a heavy atmosphere spread out, and everyone was cautious in their hands.
Lev and other idle people even felt like they were afraid to breathe, for fear that they would blow over the cake if they were breathing.
However, sometimes they are afraid of anything. When four field staff want to move a wedding cake to the cake table in the performance area, something happened just a few steps away! One of them slipped and fell down, and the whole big cake hit the grass, and the whole set immediately burst into a scream of "Oh no"!
Looking at the cake that was rotten on the ground, the staff, the starring extras, the idle people... everyone's eyes widened, as if the wedding happened in the movie.
The four porters all turned pale. It was not anyone who fell down, but the second director Dalum who helped. He lay on the grass and raised his head, ready to bear the VIY's storm. He would never say anything because he deserved it...
If he switched over, he would even expel the messed-up person from the set immediately.
Everyone turned to Ye Wei, and saw him grinning strangely, not knowing what he was thinking.
It seems that this time the stick has a counterproductive effect. It has been learned a lesson. You can no longer put pressure on everyone. Although Ye Wei was bleeding in his heart, he was not angry and laughed: "Haha, it's so messy, like the God of Wedding kicked Darum! But we have one more, guys, take some of the highlights on the set first, then pack up, and come again."
The alarm "Director Murder" was lifted! The old fried dough sticks and college students breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did Lev and the others dare to breathe secretly.
Lily smiled and said to her friends: "It's okay, he is not Nero."
Nearly ten minutes later, after filming the behind-the-scenes and cleaning, the four people before moved the last cake! They were the most experienced people in the audience. This time, the four people deserve Ye Wei's trust. As FedEx said, the mission will be achieved!
The cameras and lighting have been set up long ago, and the assistant director has begun to clear the scene. Everyone is in their place, and the idle people gather behind the camera.
In front of the camera, there were a group of actors standing around the big cake. Men, women, young and old were wearing wedding dresses and smiling happily. They could not see the hidden wedding god next to them.
Because the shooting has not started, Lev and his friends are still whispering: "Brother Wei's kick is the penalty kick in the World Cup final." "Brother Wei's kick is so good, and he has no goalkeeper, so he will definitely do it!" "God blesses."...
Soon, the whole game was quiet, and the penalty kick time finally came!
With a snap, "Action!"
Outside the camera, eyes are fixed, hearts are hanging...
In front of the camera, everyone was excited. Bourne and Kana held a long plastic cake cutter together, walked forward with a smile, and wanted to cut the big cake on the table.
"Hehehehehe!" At the same time, Ye Wei jumped up in the depth of field, as if doing a warm-up work, and suddenly shouted: "I wish you a happy wedding!"
Before he finished speaking, he ran over, with less than one meter left. He suddenly supported the ground with his left foot, flew up his right foot, and kicked towards the cake round table covered with exquisite berry-patterned white tablecloth—
The actors pretended not to see it, and many eyes outside the camera glared!
Bang bang!! The cake round table was immediately kicked up, and the huge three-layer wedding cake flew to the ground!
"Oh my god!", "Oh no!!" Bourne and Kana screamed bitterly, and the family and guests around were all terrified and instinctively stretched out their hands, but no one could save them, and the whole wedding cake smashed on the grass...
Ye Wei maintained a leg-controlled kicking position with one foot on the ground and one foot on the other, and his naked right ankle shook a few times.
"Cut!" As soon as Jennifer Anderson stopped, Jiya couldn't help laughing, and the others laughed and clapped. This shot is great, and the audience will definitely laugh! VIY's kick is really powerful and he deserves to be the captain of the football team, and he has a good footwork!
Jiya, Lily and others laughed and said, "He actually broke out, there is no NG!" Lev said proudly for Ye Wei: "Everything that is done with his feet, Brother Wei is not afraid of." Bud nodded and said, "He has a golden right leg." Lily also had a bright smile, "I promise, this kick is not his most exciting kick."
The completion of this lens means that all the remakes have been completed!
But we still have to see if it is Good-Take or NG when the replay is back. Ye Wei took the lead and came to the monitor. When he looked back, Jennifer Anderson's smile suddenly froze. Sean Maurel also noticed it, and Jiya also frowned...
Just as Ye Wei finished kicking and everyone screamed, the microphone ran in from above the frame with great dying power, which was very obvious.
"Oh please." "Oh my God." A low voice of annoyance arose, what's going on!
Several people in the recording team looked ashamed, and the microphone operator Dray Sharison was full of apology with panic, "I'm sorry, my fault..."
This is a coherent main shot. The 5 or 6 seconds of the microphone entering is the most exciting time. How can I edit and cut it? If I have another one, the cake will be gone; the director has no intention of deliberately breaking it here... What should I do?
At this time, even the oldest fried dough stick was in a state of uneasiness. In this case, it was the most normal thing for the director to be furious. Ang Lee, who is also a Chinese director and is known for his good temper, was once so angry that he kicked the trash can around him away because of a similar situation.
Because everyone has made so much effort and has performed very well, they have messed up all of them because of a person’s mistakes! How can you not be angry?
Ye Wei was just a 16-year-old boy. He was so angry that he wanted to whip Drey-Sharixon with a microphone boom. No one would think there was any problem.
A storm is coming! They looked at the director's expressionless face and couldn't help but feel creepy. If he shouted, it would be less scary. Now that he doesn't speak, it makes people feel even more terrible...
The idle people were also nervous. Lily stared at her eyebrows and wanted to say something, but after all, she was not a professional, and she didn't know what to say, so she just said: "Can you erase it with special effects?"
"Yes." Jiya nodded and persuaded Ye Wei: "The cost of making special effects for this shot is obviously less than shooting another one. Director, do special effects?" Jennifer Anderson and others agreed, which is a good idea.
But Ye Wei still didn't say anything, as if he was completely burned by anger, and seemed to be thinking about something...
"No, no need."
Everyone was stunned. What did he mean?
