The first day of filming ended on time at 5:00 pm, because according to the contract with the labor union, the total shooting time per day should not exceed six hours.
After a day of filming, Yuan Hua dragged his exhausted body back to the hotel to rest.
Although today's shooting time is not too long, I feel more tired than normal filming. The main reason is that I have been mentally tense, so I am even more tired.
Every time I turn on the machine, it seems that there is a countdown in my mind automatically, because once it is overtime, it means additional expenses (fines or overtime pay).
Moreover, when suddenly merged into the filming mode of this kind of union film, whether it is the director or the actors, it still needs a process of getting used to it, so naturally it will not be so smooth at the beginning.
From Yuan Hua's personal point of view, this so-called industrial shooting process is too rigid.
To give a simple example, let¡¯s say you are going to clear the scene and start shooting, but there is still a ladder left in the shooting area to move it away¡ª¡ª
If you're filming in China, whether it's a scene manager, or a handyman, whoever is close will just move him aside without saying a word.
But here, other people can't move it casually, they can only ask the prop master to come over and move it away. If outsiders move, the prop master will not be very happy, thinking that you are robbing him of his work.
This is acceptable, the most important thing is deception.
This is normal. After all, you are an outsider without a foothold, and there will definitely not be any favors with you here. It is only possible to follow the rules in everything.
It is possible that most of the rules do exist objectively, but they themselves may not strictly enforce them 100%, but when it is the turn of these outsiders, they will follow the rules without any discount.
? If it is said to shoot at four o'clock, it will be four o'clock, and if it is said to shoot ten scenes, it will be ten scenes, and it will not work if there is one more.
? As for foreign workers, let¡¯s not talk about it. These foreigners have a cup of coffee every once in a while, no matter what they do, they don¡¯t rush. Anyway, they do their own work and get their own money, and then clock out as soon as the hour is up.
Certainly no one in the country dares to do this. If anyone dares to do this, it is tantamount to self-destructing his future. If his reputation is bad, no one will give him a job again!
Obviously, these Americans definitely don't care about this, anyway, it's a one-shot deal, and it is impossible for Chen Sicheng to say that he will come to the United States to film "Tang Detective 3" in the short term.
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if there are Huaguo crews coming here to film, they may not necessarily find them again.
These foreigners really drove Chen Sicheng crazy. The most common sentence Yuan Hua heard from him was:
"Hurry up!" or "hurry up!".
Generally speaking, the first day of shooting was not very smooth, but fortunately, the planned shots were barely finished, but it was obvious that everyone was not easy.
After dinner, Wang Baoqiang came to Yuan Hua's room again to check his lines. Anyway, he got off work so early during the day, so he could rehearse a few more times at night.
People are like this, if you don¡¯t force yourself, you will never know that you can do many things that were unimaginable before.
For example, the same lens may have to be shot at least five times in China to barely keep a usable one.
But here, basically, I can only shoot 2 to 3 shots. There is not so much time to try and make mistakes. All Yuan Hua and the others can do is to reduce mistakes.
Fortunately, the starring team this time is basically experienced actors with a certain level of acting skills, and there are no newcomers or traffic artists with poor acting skills, otherwise this trip would be a disaster!
As the filming progressed, Yuan Hua and the others realized that paying the fine was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that they didn¡¯t even have a chance to pay the fine after the time limit. Sometimes people just took the camera away and refused to shoot. It doesn't matter what you say!
So every shot must be taken as a last chance, because there is a possibility that this shot will be shot, and then the camera will be taken away!
In that case, the crew would have no choice, either to delete this shot or not to use it, or to just use this shot, without any fault tolerance
It feels like every day's shooting is a race against time. Every department, every link, and everyone can't make mistakes, and every detail must be accurately pinpointed.
This kind of life is repeated day by day, and basically every day is a fast-paced shooting. No matter in front of the stage or behind the scenes, everyone is always tense, as if being pinched by someone all the time. They dare not relax at all, nor relax for a moment.
The time passed day by day, and the shooting plan was still moving in a somewhat orderly manner.At this time, Yuan Hua also received an overseas call from Liu Tianxian.
"Sissy, have you finished "Second Generation Goblin" yet?"
Liu Tianxian sounds like he is in a good mood:
"Well, it's finished, how is your filming of "Tang Detective 2" going?"
Of course, Yuan Hua reported good news but not bad news: "Very good, the progress is getting better and better, and the filming should be completed on time as planned.
However, the sacrifice of our scene is quite big, we just filmed the scene of running naked on the street today! "
"Ha! And the streaking scene?"
It is obvious that Liu Tianxian became interested in this topic, and unconsciously raised his voice by three degrees:
"Who? Are you taking pictures too?"
"Well, I, Brother Baoqiang, and Brother Xiaoyang have both. However, Brother Xiaoyang and I are a little stronger, only topless, and the one who sacrifices the most is Brother Baoqiang, who is almost completely naked and only has a pair of briefs left. "
Liu Tianxian couldn't stop giggling: "Really? Hahahaha, when the movie is released, you must invite me to watch it. You guys are so wild!"
Compared with the first part, the sacrifices the actors have to make in the second part are much greater.
Especially Wang Baoqiang, who can be regarded as a model of dedication, his money is really hard to earn.
In this movie, he has a chase scene. Not only is he stripped down to only a pair of triangle red pants and a small black satchel, but he also runs wildly on the busy New York Avenue, which can be called extremely social death!
Let me tell you that even though I had seen it in a movie theater in my previous life, when the real scene reappeared, Yuan Hua almost burst out laughing, the shock was indescribable.
When he was watching "A World Without Thieves" and "Soldiers Assault", even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the once simple and honest silly Gen or Xu Sanduo would run naked on the streets of New York one day. and!
The key is that there was a follow-up to this streaking, and then Wang Baoqiang was hugged and danced by a bearded strong white man in a bar. That scene can only be said to be the cutest height difference No, it should be hot eyes!
When her laughter gradually subsided, Yuan Hua added:
"It's not a big deal, we're going to shoot a women's costume scene tomorrow?"
Immediately Liu Tianxian couldn't hold back and laughed: "Ha, do you still have women's costume dramas? Tsk tsk, then you are really hardworking!
That Otherwise, you can secretly take a picture tomorrow and send it to me for a sneak peek. I haven't seen your women's clothing yet, so I really want to see it! "
Yuan Hua said with a dark face: "No, I signed a non-disclosure agreement with the crew!"
This is purely an excuse. Although there is indeed a non-disclosure agreement, this non-disclosure agreement is useless to a man like Yuan Hua. Even if one or two photos are really leaked, it will definitely not do anything.
The sacrifice of Wang Baoqiang in the women's costume scene is also quite large, because she not only wore a golden big wave wig, a white nurse's uniform, and red high heels, but also a red bra and black stockings.
For example, although Yuan Hua also wanted women's clothing, he just put on a nurse's uniform and a black wig. He was not "dressed up" like Wang Baoqiang, and he didn't seem to have a strong sense of disobedience.
The key point is that Wang Baoqiang not only dressed up to attend, but also occupied the c position among the three people, striding out with the momentum of a catwalk show.
With a flick of hair, there is a kind of look of "sister is the queen, she is confident and shining", which makes people can't help laughing every time they see it!
This scene is also Yuan Hua's most impressive scene of "Tang Detective 2". After so many years, he still has a deep memory!
Although Liu Tianxian was acting cute and coquettish, Yuan Hua still remained unmoved and resolutely rejected her unreasonable request, which is really embarrassing!
Liu Tianxian acted coquettishly and flirtatiously to no avail, and immediately hung up the phone in a petty temper, making Yuan Hua's teeth itchy with anger, and decided to teach him a lesson when he went back.
