    "Hahaha, Bella, you little idiot! Have you forgotten what I taught you before? When I bent down"

    In front of the camera, Anna was teasing Bella. At this time, she made a bending movement, but Bella did not react. She just wagged her little tail happily and rolled her round eyes. She immediately laughed and said the lines,  Then he bent again and said, "Then now, jump!"

    Hearing this jump, Bella, who had been trained for a long time, was very proud. She jumped up suddenly and was about to jump over her, but Anna rose up and collided with it again.

    "Haha!" Anna fell on the grass and laughed happily. Bella licked her face. She yelled and avoided it with a smile: "Hey, you haven't brushed your teeth yet!"

    There is no such line in the script. This is her natural reaction, just like usual, no need to think too much, real emotion.

    Next to the camera, Ye Wei watched intently without blinking, like an Easter Island stone statue.

    Pete looked at him. According to the plan, this scene has been filmed, but as long as the director does not call CUT, the whole scene has to continue filming, and the actors have to continue to act according to circumstances.  Ye Wei had already taught Anna to do this just now, so she was still acting, stood up with Bella in her arms, kissed her lovingly, put her down, and started chasing her with laughter again.

    "Everyone is more and more surprised as they watch, her performance is beyond imagination!"  Not only is it completely different from when it first started rehearsing, but it also goes beyond the script!

    Such Anna is undoubtedly an excellent movie actress. Her innocence, liveliness, romance, and pure beauty are all revealed.

    When Anna and Bella were far away from the prospect, suddenly Ye Weicai was willing to shout: "CUT!!!"

    Pete turned off the camera, and Anna stopped and walked back. Everyone looked at Ye Wei, nervous!  I saw him wave his fist high and said, "Well done!!"

    "Anna!" he shouted with a laugh. To hell with any directorial authority at this moment, he and Anna high-fived heavily and praised this smart girl: "You are a little genius! Remember what I said, you will  You will definitely become a great actor! You will make the jaws of those who look down on you drop! Because you are so good, you cute little monkey! Pass, pass, pass!¡±

    "Yeah!" Anna also cheered wildly, feeling so sweet that she passed!  The director said, pass!  !

    Bella barked a few times excitedly, causing Toto, who was not far away, to bark too and struggle to run over.

    "Wow.", "The acting is really great.", "Amazing!" Everyone burst into laughter and praised each other. Ye Wei's direction had a miraculous effect, and Anna's performance was perfect!  The most incredible thing is Janet and David. They are also the people here who are most aware of the changes in Anna's acting skills. She has really improved!

    "Oh my" Janet covered her mouth with excitement, almost choking. She was excited because she saw hope again!

    If Anna can keep it up, not to mention whether the audition result of "It's All Daisy's Trouble" can be changed, if she auditions for other movies in the future, the results may be very different!

    "I also took good pictures here." Ye Haogen looked at the DV screen and smiled.

    "Do you want to take another shot?" After the laughter, Darum asked Ye Wei. Good-Take had three reasons for "taking another shot." One is insurance, which is required for film shooting. If one shot is unfortunately damaged, there will be another one.  ; Second, enriching the image material gives the editor more choices; third, in fact, the filming was not done well just now, the director made a mistake, and he could not admit it, so he used the first two reasons to cover up the filming again.

    Ye Wei smiled and said nothing. He set up the portable TV monitor next to the camera and played back the image he had just taken. This is what the Sony HDC-F950 calls "what you see is what you get" and why people love digital photography.  If it were film, the true image of the image just now would not be visible until at least tomorrow morning. Before that, we could only look at the video recorded simultaneously by the camera.

    Everyone gathered around and watched the replays in order, with online at the front and offline at the back, so Anna didn't have to squeeze in. She stood side by side with Ye Wei at the front and watched, blinking her big eyes, looking forward to further comments.  .

    "You all look at it and tell me, is it necessary to take another one?" Ye Wei deliberately praised loudly, giving Anna more confidence, "The line 'You haven't brushed your teeth yet', but he immediately kissed Bella again.  , look at this smile! That¡¯s why I say Anna is a genius, it¡¯s a miracle!¡±

    "Then there's no need to guarantee one?" Darum wanted a definite answer.

    "Guarantee? Is it because you want to see Anna's genius performance again? Then hurry up and prepare for the next shot, hurry up!"

    Listening to these compliments, Anna grinned happily. The power in her heart became stronger and she couldn't help but smile.But she is disappointed, she wants to do better!  The best performance is - no performance!

    Once the director made his decision, everyone immediately got busy again. Behind every shot was a lot of arrangement work, especially the lighting

    When the remaining shots in the shot list of this scene reach zero, the first scene of the script has been shot.

    There are still many scenes in the back garden of the house, where Bella helps Anna regain her energy. Originally, in order to maximize the use of time, the scenes of the same scene had to be filmed consecutively, regardless of the order in the script. This is a lie in the movie.  one.

    But after learning that Anna was eliminated from "It's Dai Qian's fault", Ye Wei had a new idea. He wanted to finish filming the first scene and then tell Anna the bad news that she was eliminated. Then her mood would inevitably be depressed.  , or even being hit, is exactly the emotion needed in the second act, so when she performs it, it should have a particularly good effect.

    If the distance between each scene was very far, this idea would not be supported, but because the distance was very close, he adjusted the shooting plan last night, and now continued to shoot the second scene of the script, when Anna took Bella from the back garden  To the scene in the front garden, this is a long shot.

    The difficulty of shooting long shots is naturally higher. Fortunately, there was a carefully designed storyboard, and Peter also put on a Steadicam. In the end, the shooting went smoothly, and the three shots were passed.

    Anna continued her outburst, making everyone like it again and again.

    And Ye Wei is constantly bringing new surprises to everyone. There is no doubt that he is an "expert" in film production.

    His command voice would sound from time to time, making various decisions. At this time, the crew was filming in the hall of the house, and his voice came up again: "Hurley, kill the baby, change the flood (Kill-The-Baby, Change-Flood)"  !¡±

    Duoduo, who was watching over there, screamed anxiously after hearing this, ran towards her parents who were not far away, and said anxiously: "Which baby is my brother going to kill? Please stop him quickly!" Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao couldn't help laughing.  , although they don¡¯t understand it, they know that it is just a term.

    After hearing her parents¡¯ explanation, Duoduo was even more confused, what?

    "Stop talking about her, Anna can't understand it, and neither do Puton and Claire, who play her parents. What kind of lighting term is this, right?"

    I saw the lighting engineer Hurley King replacing a big light bulb on a light stand, and giving an OK gesture to Ye Wei and Peter beside the camera: "Okay."

    In fact, that sentence just means "turn off the soft light and put on the floodlight". If you are not familiar with the lingo of the studio, you can only say "turn off the soft light and put on the floodlight" like a layman.  What kind of Hollywood crew should I be in? I don¡¯t know how much private ridicule it will cause if I say that. What kind of authority does the director have?

    On the contrary, when the newcomers on the set heard these cool jargons that they did not understand, they immediately felt a bit humble in their hearts. They knew that they were juniors and had something to learn from their predecessors, thus keeping order in the studio kingdom.

    Now, Ye Wei understands both technology and the studio. As time goes by, everyone forgets that he is only 15 years old. He is one of them, a filmmaker.

    So the college students naturally accepted him as the director, and naturally obeyed the orders with high enthusiasm.

    ¡­¡­

    At the same time, rumors about Ye Wei in Harvard-Westlake Junior High School suddenly hit the campus like a sudden tornado.

    "Have you heard? Let me explain first. I don't know whether this news is true or not! VIY wants to embezzle the company's property"

    "No way? You'd better not talk nonsense, I believe VIY!"

    "I didn't want to either. Someone called my parents. They were worried to death. It seemed that Bruce Willis wanted to buy the project and the previous Focus! VIY refused."

    "What is his idea?"

    "He is still thinking about being the producer and director of the project"

    "ah!?"

    Lev was patrolling the Reynolds Hall. When he saw club members discussing there, he immediately rushed up, his nostrils flaring, and shouted: "Jesus Christ! That's a lie from Focus Movies! I'm not texting  Have you been informed? Your irresponsible nonsense will kill Brother Wei! I¡¯m ashamed of you!¡±

    The two boys immediately had bitter looks on their faces, "What happened?", "Yes, Lev, just explain it clearly!"

    On the other side, in the library, Chen Nuo held up his glasses and explained to a few confused boys in a calm tone; Bud, Babu and others were also running around the campus

    Lily was telling the truth to Triest, Connie and other girls, asking them to help spread the truth: "The focus is on malicious intent to hurt Wei! You just want to buy back the project at a low price. This is a shameless business strategy. Don't be fooled."  It¡¯s his plan. You¡¯ll know it when he makes the short film."

    Regarding this statement, some members of the club and other students believe it, while others have doubts

    After hearing the news, John Williams and others almost celebrated Christmas early, taking the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and ridicule the entire Dream Chaser League.

    "I told you a long time ago that this is a scam! What now? All the money will go into his family's pocket! Shameless! He will be expelled from the school, soon. Short video? I think he is hiding at home and afraid to come to school.  Let¡¯s take a look and see what kind of rubbish he can shoot, hahaha!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    When the time came to 12:00, the crew of "Dance of Angels" had been working for four hours in the morning, and it was time to call it a day and have a veritable lunch break.

    The result of the morning was that almost all the scenes in Anna¡¯s house in the first scene were shot, except for Anna¡¯s room (Duo Duo¡¯s room).

    The most common situation that happens on the set happened. The morning passed, but the scheduled shooting progress was not kept up!

    There is only so much shooting time in three days and 30 hours, and the last minute and second will not be added. Unless the shooting is overtime, otherwise the progress will be continued and the project will not be completed.

    The back garden of the house is the base camp of the studio. Everyone eats lunch here. They are sitting in twos and threes on the steps and chairs, eating lunches from Tasty Kingdom, laughing and chatting. They were quite happy in the morning shooting.  .

    "What are you going to do?" Darum hasn't started eating yet. As the assistant director, he is far away in the dining area, holding the filming schedule, asking Ye Wei for a solution.

    "Damn" Ye Wei frowned and looked at the schedule. There were only a few ways. First, adjust the plan and delete some shots from the shot list to make enough time in the afternoon to complete the day's tasks, but those  The lens material is gone.

    Second, we accelerated the shooting in the afternoon. Quality is no longer the priority, but completion is the priority.  Unless a miracle occurs, it is impossible to maintain the quality of the morning shots.

    Three, work overtime.  Then his on-set control is about to drop by a notch. Don¡¯t the big shots know that?  Paper cannot contain the fire!

    None of the three choices were good. It was difficult for Ye Wei to make a decision. He thought about it and muttered: "Why is it so slow?"

    "I reminded you before, "Gone with the Wind" in the morning and "Duck Soup" in the afternoon." Darum shrugged helplessly. The problem was the lobby scene, which took too much time.

    Now when he talks to Ye Wei, he no longer thinks about whether the other party can understand.

    GWTW (Gone-with-the-Wind-in-the-morning, Dukes-of-Hazzard-after-lunch) is the most common and long-standing complaint of assistant directors on American film sets. It means that if one morning is like "Gone with the Wind", then  Slow work leads to fine work (it was 221 minutes long when it was first released in 1939, and it took 11 months to shoot. It was well-made and cost a lot of money). That afternoon, I could only shoot "Duck Soup" (1933, 68 minutes long, absurd and nonsensical classic comedy,  Low cost, casual), Dukes also made a pun referring to the popular TV series "Justice" in the 1980s, in which the protagonists always race cars, as if rushing to reincarnate.

    "What's the matter?" At this time, Anna was not eating well and walked over curiously.

    Ye Wei looked at her and smiled: "Dalum wants to eat duck soup in the afternoon." He had already made up his mind, "But I don't want to, man, it's still "Gone with the Wind" in the afternoon!"

    "This is impossible." Darum raised his hands in surrender.

    "How is it impossible? We have to maintain quality, but we also have to be faster. I don't want to see a scene where it takes 15 minutes to light a shot. 10 minutes is enough, 5 minutes is better!"

    Thinking back on the reason just now, Ye Wei found that the reason for the slowness was not a problem with the performance, changes in the storyboard composition, or any accidents. The main reason was because there were too few people, which led to low efficiency.  He continued: "From the afternoon on, everyone can no longer be so leisurely. Parela and Amy have to help with lighting and scenery, as well as me and some of my friends. They get off school at three o'clock in the afternoon and can come over at four o'clock to do odd jobs.  "

    "Also, 15 minutes for lunch, 15 minutes for rest, and resume work at 12:35."

    12:35?  Darum seemed to want to say something, but Ye Wei had already said in a deep voice: "This is an order!" Next to her, Anna nodded solemnly: "The director's order."

    "Understood." Darum scratched the freckles on his face, who said that the director is the god on the set.  He turned around and walked towards the people in the dining area and shouted: "Everyone, you have to eat quickly. Our filming progress is a bit slow. We will start work at 12:35 to catch up."

    "Oh" Everyone suddenly exclaimed. The lunch boxes were no longer fragrant. They looked at Ye Wei in the depth of the scene, as if they were seeing a demon. For half an hour, nothing was eaten.

    "What?" Ye Wei walked over in person, looking in disbelief, "Half an hour is not enough? Do I need my mother to coax me to sleep? That's my sister! Anna doesn't have any objections, don'tTell me, you can't even compare to the physical strength of a 10-year-old girl.  "

    Anna made an exaggerated expression of disgust, curled her lips and rolled her eyes, "I think that's it."

    "Okay, I got it!" Everyone laughed and shouted, "If I die from overwork, can any of you tell my family?", "Is there a bonus?", "Haha!"

    "Bonus? Whoever massages my shoulders, I'll give it to him!"

    "Wei, I'm coming, I'm coming, hehe"
