Chapter 225 Rehearsal

"After two days of crazy progress, our crew has taken shape."

Toronto, Cliffside, P videos were broadcasting on the TV in the living room, and a graceful girl was watching on the sofa, her pretty face full of shock.

The boy on the screen looked at a document in his hand and introduced: "In addition to me, Andrew Grande, Heck Portker, they are co-producers and screenwriters.

The photographer is Michael Grady Ta1Gran. This guy has enough photography experience. He has made 3 episodes of TV series and 13 movies, all of which are filmed and independent films. Only one documentary "Wrestling Heroes" has been released in theaters and has a box office of 200,000 yuan. He knows how to shoot documentaries. In this work, he is not just a photographer, but a photography director. That is to say, he is the scene dispatcher of the photography part, and there are two more. But this time, he is a photographer, and all the director's work is mine.

There is another reason to hire him. He just made a thriller "Death has a Versatile" this year. I watched it. It was very good to use the mirror. He looked like he was starting to enter a new level. By the way, Eva Tregolia, the starring actor of "Death has a Versatile" has performed well. You know the one that is very popular recently.

OK, the photographer has, and then we find several other important characters. The crew needs an art department, a supervisor who combines art director, art design, set designer, prop teacher, and two executive artists. This supervisor is Julie Berghoff, uIeBa, she is a newcomer, only giving a short film, a movie, and... "Saw" has worked in

Hahaha, the terrible torture instruments in "Saw" have her credit. This woman has a good understanding of horror. I also contacted her with a try-making mentality, and it turned out to be. She and James Wen, Ray Werner are good friends, shh... don't let them know, they will kill me with a chainsaw.

To be honest, this time is a new challenge for Berghoff, because she only worked as an art director before and did not do much in art design. I believe she can do it well.

Next is the clothing and makeup department, which is very important to us. Maggie was enchanted with a terrible and pitiful look, and she was designed and dressed up. We found Majes Rubeo Ae. Bube), who has been in this industry for almost 2 years. "Talk Radio" in 196 was her first film job, a fashion designer assistant. I was born that year, which was amazing? She didn't have the good luck of me. For a long time, she could only be a clothing administrator, a wardrobe supervisor, and like a security guard...

Finally, in 193, she worked as a fashion designer for the first time. "The Battle of Earth" was not a successful film, so although she has B works, they are all movies and low-cost independent films. She is not very famous, but she is really talented. I like her performance in this year's "Librarian: The Expedition to Find the Spear of Destiny", which is the poor version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Her style is full of mystery and a sense of being remote from the modern era. This is what we want.

Yes, her specialties are all about clothing, and she doesn't have much ability to put on makeup. In fact, because it is a pseudo-documentary, everyone else doesn't wear makeup except Maggie, but someone needs to serve Maggie. Rubeo helped invite her child Martha Villanueva. Martha is a newcomer and has only worked in three movies, one of which is "The Expedition to Find the Spear of Destiny", where she is an additional makeup artist.

I like newcomers, and I like these people who are seeking to rise, so do I. Maybe everyone’s abilities are not the top, but everyone is full of passion and care. Even if they work overtime, they have no complaints. Unlike those old fryers who refuse to pay for money.

In addition to these brothers and sisters, we also need a recording engineer and microphone operator, lighting engineer, field reporter, food supervisor, and three jobs who are willing to appear on the camera. I am ready to recruit these people directly in Toronto because there are no creative requirements for these positions, as long as they are professional and capable enough.

You know, no one has an assistant, it's really hard. Even my special assistant, Master Jiya, has no time to come to school. Actually, I didn't let her know, otherwise she would drop out of school and come to join in the fun. Her grandfather would offer a condition that I couldn't refuse. Cough cough, tongue error, not mine...

Michael Grady said he must be given a photography assistant, because he can't carry the film camera for 2 hours in a row one day, or even longer, haha

It is understandable that if he wants to shoot fake documentaries, he has to use handheld photography. It was a photography method pioneered by photography master Huang Zongzhan. It has been a few years and was once said to be outdated, but now it has become popular again. Our project uses handheld photography almost throughout the entire process. Sometimes it is very shaking and makes people dizzy, and the fake documentary is just like that.

What is the most dedicated photographer in the world? Yes, the answer is the photographer in a pseudo-documentary. Who will be hunted by monsters and still shooting? Who will carry dozens of pounds of things when they run faster and better? They will not throw away the camera until they die.

Our camera is not this Canon M7001, but Panavishen's Flex lightweight second-generation aafeLte111).

At first I wanted to use Panavishen’s latest Millennium XL2I11cutum2) which was also a lightweight camera, but Grady said it was still too heavy and too big, not suitable for making pseudo-documentary films. I said OK, it’s OK to use Flex II, it’s all... 1993 models, old antiques

This gave me a new idea, and moved the story's time background to the third year, and what we took would be ancient videotapes.

Grady has nothing to say, because Flax II is the lightest machine in Panavishen. The only option is a 3NN film camera that can synchronize recording. It removes all the components that are not necessary. The body weighs only 14 pounds. If you install a lens, you will have about 6 pounds and 2 kilograms of film. That is really heavy. Grady is indeed not at ease. But I rejected his request. Why? Because I can also take photos. When Grady can't shoot, I will help. Andrew Grande can do it too.

I don't plan to use it to record synchronously, the effect will not be good, so it will be lighter. We have a recording engineer, and there is also a guy who brings up the battery, the third member of Cotton's film crew. This old antique does not have its own battery, and it is not enough.

All of these were decided, so I led the team back to Toronto, and the project was officially launched from today on the 4th. In fact, we stole some time... Anyway, we will complete the production within 2 days. The last weekend will be the 2nd, and then the Christmas holiday will happen. Is it great? Haha.

We will complete the pre-production system that can start shooting in three days: recruit other crew members, find the leading actors, buy them insurance, determine the shooting location, rent good equipment, and the Panavishen company only rents and does not sell; then... start shooting

Some actors can be found again the day before the filming, but the starring role is not enough. I have found the candidate for Maggie, which is you, how about Nina Dubov, are you interested in acting in my movie? Yunik Gu's movie."

After all the videos were broadcast, Nina stayed for a while before suddenly coming to her senses, she looked around and shouted: "Where is Yunik? Come here, what is this?

Without calling Yunik, she called her mother, and she walked into the living room in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"He..." Nina didn't know what to say, her heart leaped and she got up and walked out of the room.

It was already B at night on the 4th, and the night sky was dark. She came to the custard room and knocked on the door: "It's me." The door was opened by Yunik, and he smiled and said hello: "Are you surprised?" She walked into the room, and the heating was overwhelming. She took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack, and asked, "Are you kidding?"

"What a joke?" Ye Wei looked at her unstable face and closed the door, "If you meant that PB, it's not a joke, it's a very serious invitation."

"Oh." Nina's face turned red, as if some excitement surged up, her big almond-like eyes blinked, "You mean, you want to make a new movie for me?"

Ye Wei nodded: "Yes, part of the reason is that I want to prove my professional ability, 3, 70% for you, this script and this project, was born because of you."

"But I don't understand..." Nina couldn't help but say, her eyes flashing.

"It's okay, I don't understand, I'll explain it to you?"

Looking at his concerned eyes, Nina couldn't say anything. She didn't understand. She was incredible. This was too crazy and a dream. No matter what he did, he was still VIY. The film project he made was Sunlight Little Beauty. His actors were Meryl Tripp, Julia Roberts... Nina Dubov was like this.

For her happiness, for what she said, and for her wish, he actually realized it, and for her professional movie starring her...

He also signed all of Yunik Gu, just because, she.

"I just don't understand..." Nina's eyes were hot, tears were pouring down her eyes, and it was about to fall.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Ye Wei hurriedly put his arm around her shoulder and rubbed her hair intimately with the other hand. He muttered in his heart that he would not guess the girl's thoughts wrong again, right? She should be happy? Could it be that he was joking about Master Jiya for something wrong? He just thought she could gradually get to know his friends.

Nina smiled with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of tenderness and love, and she was infatuated, "I don't understand why you are so good..."

"Ha" Ye Wei smiled immediately, hugged her tightly, lowered her head and kissed her passionately for a while before asking separately: "Then have you agreed?" Nina smiled and pursed her lips, as if she was considering it, as if she was savoring. He pretended to regret: "If you don't act, I have to find one of your gymnastics friends to act, Alice Liz?"

"No, this is our movie." Nina hit his chest coquettishly, "I'm a little worried about whether I can perform well. The ballet I'm acting is just dancing there, there is no expression to perform. I'm not proficient in drama, and I just started learning it in school. I'm just a rookie, like you do when you ski."

Ye Weiyi smiled and walked towards the computer desk, saying, "It doesn't matter. Sometimes the true performance is enough, and I will direct the positioning and other aspects. Some people's uncrafted true performance can be very amazing. If you learn more, you will become mediocre. Do you know Kesha Caster Huyce of "Whale Knight"? That was her ll-year-old performance, her first performance, her first film, and finally won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress this year."

He typing on the keyboard a few times, and the computer screen showed a picture of Huyce attending the Oscar. He thought of something wrong, turned it off and turned it on to open the stills of her "Whale Knight".

Nina, who walked over, looked at it, was a little stimulated and encouraged, and she nodded with confidence: "I will try my best to act well, but if I don't act well, don't be mad at me..."

"No, I will help you." Ye Wei patted her hand, "I want to see your performance, so now, make a painful expression?"

"Ah, ah..." Nina immediately looked painful, stretched out her facial features and grinned.

"Um... OK." Ye Wei refused to comment and said, "Now, make a scared and confused expression, there is a demon in your body."

Nina calmed down, frowned slightly, her eyes turned to both sides, as pitiful...

"OK, your two performances are a bit too much for screen performances. Don't worry, this is a normal situation. Whether you understand the skills or not, whether you have stage experience, people who perform on the screen for the first time are prone to over-the-top. Anna Sophia Rob, when "The Angel Dance" starts filming, it's even more than you, and I start with "The Wedding Day is Coming". And Maggie will have scenes that require over-the-showing."

Ye Wei said and walked to the bed, "Now lie flat on the bed." Nina walked over and lay down, thinking about something, her eyes were circling, "What's next?" Ye Wei listened to her soft tone, looking at her graceful figure, breathing up and down, and a beautiful atmosphere filled the air, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's so sweet, so spicy

Unfortunately, it was not the right place and time. He suppressed Qi Nian and said seriously: "This is an exorcist in the script. I am an exorcist. I will exorcist for you. The demon reacts very fiercely in your body. You are in extreme pain, struggling, screaming, there is no problem with going too far, try it."

Nina said yes, Ye Wei closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let himself enter the performance state. The first exorcist in the story, Cotton didn't believe in the devil, but used the tricks of the martial arts... Open his eyes, he started to act, saying the improvised line: "Devil, do you torture this innocent girl's sin, do you think God doesn't know? You're done, you're done God's light, and you're done."

He quickly made a bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar

Nina on the bed began to twist her body, grabbed the sheet with her hands, kicked her feet, and her face was full of pain. She suddenly glared at her eyes and screamed in a tragic voice: "Ah, go away, you demon, don't, let me go, God, save me, ah..."

"Demon, you can't escape, and you can't hurt her." Ye Wei waved his hands, made improvisational gestures, and continued to recite something.

"Ah, oh... Save me, it's so uncomfortable, ah..."

Ye Wei stretched out his right hand and drew a cross in the air. He raised his head as if bathed in holy light. He suddenly bent over, stretched his right hand and pressed Nina's forehead, "Demon, die."

"Ahhhh..." Nina suddenly screamed louder and more tragic, her feet pedaling and her bed pounding, and her whole bed was shaking. Her blood rushed up, her face blushed, and her veins were appearing. Her scream became more and more crazy: "Devil, go away, don't pester me, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Suddenly, a sudden sound of running footsteps rushed over, "Nina", "Damn kid, stop."

The door was knocked open, Ye Wei and Nina were stunned and looked at the door. Constantine and Mihaela rushed in. Constantine was holding a baseball bat in his hand, which was the one on the porch. When they saw clearly the situation in the room, although their daughter was lying on the bed, it seemed... something was wrong...

"What are you doing..." Mihaela pulled her husband and asked in surprise.

"What are you doing? Let's go, we're rehearsing the show." Nina shouted shyly and anxiously, it's so embarrassing. What do they think happened? Did Yunik rape her? Will he? It's so embarrassing. She grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it at them, "What are you still standing there to do? Let's go."

"Uh haha." The Constantines, who had made an erotic smiled awkwardly, turned around and left. Mihaela whispered: "You should pay attention to the volume when rehearsing."

Ye Wei nodded and said, "Okay, we were wrong just now. We scared you. Sorry, I will pay attention." After they left, he closed the door of the almost dead room. He couldn't help laughing loudly, and then he couldn't stand up straight, "Hahahahahahahahaha..."

"Smile." Nina covered her face and smiled helplessly, "They are so funny."

"No, no, they are normal reactions, it's us wrong." Ye Wei finally stopped laughing, picked up the pillow and threw it back on the bed, "I'll be here this time, otherwise the police will come. Tomorrow, there will be a scandal in the media about me raping a girl, haha..."

Nina sat up and sorted out her clothes that were messed up by her struggle. She rolled her eyes when she heard this and asked, "How am I acting?"

"Not bad." Ye Wei said, not a lie, "At least you can burst out. We are not scary at all when we act like this now, but it is different in the movie. It will make the audience feel heartbroken, nervous and scared. And I think you can act better."

"What should I do?" Nina looked as she listened.

Ye Wei walked towards the computer desk and said, "You know that filming will start in less than three days. It is meaningless to put in effort in performance skills now, but creating roles is different. We must seize this point. In the remaining time, you must understand Maggie and make yourself Maggie, and do whatever you want.

"Yeah." Listening to his words, Nina nodded, feeling that he was so professional and powerful, and felt a little vain and didn't quite understand, "You mean?"

"Feeling." Ye Wei picked up a black luggage bag from the computer desk, walked to the bed, and said to her: "You have to find a feeling and then immerse yourself in it.

What is feeling? ‘There is no day in my life that I don’t think I am a liar. This is the first sentence of Father Merlin in a conversation with the enchanted little girl in the Exorcist. This is his feeling. In Star Wars, Obi-Wan gave Luke Skywalker the first training class, he spoke out your self-awareness, followed your instincts, and your eyes will deceive you. Don’t believe them, stretch your body according to your feelings. This is the mystery of using the Force and the mystery of performance.”

Nina understood these things and said with some insight: "Yunick, art gymnastics, dance, and you also talk about feeling, and you have to follow the rhythm and feeling of the music to do movements.

"That's it," Ye Wei praised and put his luggage bag on the bed. "It feels like something common. Only when the filmmaker's feelings, the character's feelings, the audience's feelings, and the three are in line with each other, great movies, great performances, and great everything will be born.

When you can’t grasp the skills, you can grasp the feelings. These can help you, they are the source of feelings."
