    The final scene is the only "big scene" in the remake: the wedding scenes.

    There was no need to reshoot scenes such as the priest reciting the oath and exchanging wedding rings. Ye Wei's idea was to pair it with soothing music to create a touching atmosphere. After all, the happy ending of love consummation is the original demand of the audience. A pair of annoying ghosts  Even if they 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 unforgettable, so this part will not be a spoof and will be treated as a real drama.

    But what follows is the most important laugh point in the whole show!  The wedding cake accidentally fell to the ground. In the old version, it was Bourne and Kanna who were clumsy, but in the new version, it was kicked over by the Wedding God.

    To reshoot this scene, the scenes, scenery, costumes, etc. must be consistent with the old shots. Of course, the actors present must be the same. Peter Heller spent a lot of time on the production to restore it properly.  The location was the "Simple Natural Events" estate in Santa Monica. The boss, Annette, agreed to let the crew film for two hours from 15:00 to 17:00 that afternoon, free of charge, as long as a thank you advertisement was printed on the end credits!

    Today, the more than 40 actors (mostly extras) have returned to 70% to 80%, and the rest cannot be contacted. No one who has been contacted is unhappy. VIY has been so popular recently, and no fool will not come.

    At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after school at Harvard-Westlake Junior High School, Lev, Bud and a group of boys rushed over to the manor. They wanted to be extras!

    Lily and several other girls also came to visit the class. When they arrived at the set on the lawn surrounded by trees in the manor, filming had already started.

    This manor is designed to be close to nature. There are forests of ancient trees and flowers and plants everywhere. Spring makes the quaint atmosphere more intense. The tall palm trees add to the romance. Coupled with the white gauze ceremony cloths swaying in the wind, it is so beautiful.  Like a fairyland on earth.

    Connie praised repeatedly and said, "My future wedding will be held here." Almost all the girls had a girlish longing. Except for Lily, she did not join the conversation. Although her eyes were looking around, she was not moved.  ripple.

    "You're finally here." Lev and the others came over to greet them, speaking softly with joy, "Our cameos are all over, just now."

    "Oh!" Connie said regretfully, "I also wanted to be a guest member of the bridesmaid team."

    Lev said happily: "I also wanted to be a member of the groomsmen group, but Master Gia said no, it would not match up with the previous ones. In the end, we sat in the back row of the guests to increase the number of people, which was not bad!"

    "Master Gia?"

    "Yes!", "She's so cool!" The boys were very excited. Even the autistic Kerwin smiled. Master Gia had quickly conquered their hearts.  Bud giggled and said: "She promised to bring us a bottle of wine, haha!" Lev hurriedly hissed, damn fat man, this is a secret!

    "Wow, really?" Several girls also became interested.

    "Cut!"

    At this time, the assistant director stopped. Ye Wei, who was in the performance area, had noticed Lily and the others, and immediately smiled and waved away, "Hi, beauties, welcome to the VIY world!"

    The camera crew continued their work, and Gia followed and looked at these girls. Of course she recognized who it was Lily Collins, the girl with thick eyebrows wearing a colorful patterned short-sleeved loose T-shirt and a dark blue knee-length skirt.  The girl, the genius' "stable long-term date", is so beautiful.

    "You guys came at the right time, the most exciting shots are about to be taken." Ye Wei greeted them, looked at Lily, and said: "You guys have fun, I have to go back to work."

    ¡°Okay.¡±, ¡°Go ahead, come on.¡±

    Gia didn't leave. After following them, she looked at Lily with interest, "I have something to tell you about your long-term date." Lily felt a little nervous for some reason: "Oh?" Gia laughed.  : "His acting skills are terrible, and he's going to be in big trouble soon."

    It turns out that the next scene of kicking the cake is a scene that must be shot in two shots, because the crew only prepared two three-tier wedding cakes and only had two opportunities to kick, otherwise it would be a big deal.

    Everyone laughed.  Lev looked at Gia with admiration on his face, his big nose was a little red, and said: "Master Gia, can you let me make a guest appearance in your promotional video? I acted well in Brother Wei's short film "Good People Are Rewarded"  It¡¯s awesome, Oscar-nominated.¡±

    He said excitedly: "That's right, our school's film festival will be held tomorrow, on the Harvard-Westlake High School campus! You can come too, tickets are first come, first served, and there is no charge!" Bud nodded repeatedly.  : "Yes, Master Gia, we will take you in."

    "I'll go and see which bastard competes for fourth place." Gia smiled.

    "Haha, Brother Wei told you!"Lev said proudly, "This sentence is my idea! It was Larry Bird's idea at first, but this is my idea!"

    "You big-nosed bastard, you have the guts!"

    Seeing the boys mingling with Gia and ignoring them, except for Lily and Trieste, Connie and a few other girls got angry. These idiots have the ability to never chat with them!

    While they were laughing and chatting, the camera crew over there was also busy with preparations. Ye Wei began to rehearse with fake cakes. Although there were two real cakes, the goal was to pass one.

    This shot has dual functions. One is to be funny, and the other is to vent. The two form an explosive power.  Because the audience loves the God of Weddings and wants to teach Bourne and Kanna a lesson, his kick will make them excited and applaud, so there is no room for error!

    Ye Wei really felt some pressure. It was the most nervous scene in the career of director and actor!

    The rehearsal was okay, but the real thing was about to happen. He couldn't help but go over and whisper to the assistant director: "Everyone should be very alert and don't make any mistakes."

    This is also the on-set responsibility of the assistant director: to beat everyone with a stick.

    Jennifer Anderson, a veteran who knows better than Ye Wei, looked serious at the moment and shouted while walking: "The whole world, brace yourself, this is a make-or-die moment, don't mess up in the slightest! Otherwise  We're all in trouble, cheer up!"

    The crew members all looked serious immediately, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air. Everyone was careful with their hands.

    People like Lev have a feeling that they don¡¯t dare to take a big breath, for fear that the cake will blow over if they take a breath.

    However, sometimes we are afraid of what will happen. When the four venue staff are trying to move a wedding cake to the cake table in the performance area, something will happen just a few steps away!  One of them slipped and fell, and the whole cake crashed onto the grass. The entire set immediately burst into screams of "Oh no!"

    Looking at the rotten cake on the ground, the staff, the leading actors and extras, the idlers everyone's eyes widened, as if a wedding in a movie had happened.

    The faces of the four porters turned pale. The one who fell was not the second assistant director Darum who was helping. He lay on the grass with his head raised, ready to withstand VIY's violent curses.  He will never say anything back, because he deserves it

    ¡°If it were the other way around, he would even expel the person who messed up immediately from the set.

    Everyone turned to look at Ye Wei, only to see him grinning strangely, wondering what he was thinking.

    It seems that the beating this time has had the opposite effect. I have learned a lesson and can no longer put pressure on everyone.  Although Ye Wei's heart was bleeding, he didn't get angry and laughed: "Haha, it's so funny, it's like the God of Wedding kicked Darum! But we have one more, guys, let's take some behind-the-scenes shots first,  Then pack it up and come again.¡±

    "Director kills" alarm has been lifted!  The old fritters and college students all breathed a sigh of relief, and Lev and the others dared to breathe secretly.

    Lily smiled with her friends and said, "It's okay, he's not Nero."

    Nearly ten minutes later, after filming and cleaning up, the four people from before carried the last cake!  They are the most experienced people in the room.  But this time the four of them deserved Ye Wei's trust. As FedEx said, the mission will be achieved!

    The camera and lighting have been set up long ago, the assistant director began to clear the scene, everyone was in their places, and people gathered around the camera.

    In front of the camera, a group of actors stood around the big cake, men, women, old and young, all dressed in wedding attire, with festive smiles on their faces. They could not see the invisible wedding god next to them.

    Because the filming hadn't started yet, Lev and the others were still whispering to each other: "Brother Wei's kick is the kick in the penalty shootout of the World Cup finals.", "Brother Wei has such good footwork and there is no goalkeeper, it will definitely work!  ","God bless."¡­¡­

    Soon, the audience fell silent, and the penalty moment finally arrived!

    There was a snap, "Action!"

    Outside the camera, pairs of eyes are fixed and hearts are hanging

    In front of the camera, everyone was jubilant. Bourne and Kana held a long plastic cake cutter together, smiled and walked forward to cut the big cake on the table.

    "Heheheha!" At the same time, Ye Wei in the background jumped up and down, as if doing warm-up work, and suddenly shouted: "I wish you a happy wedding!"

    Before he finished speaking, he ran over, with less than a meter left. He suddenly put his left foot on the ground, flew up with his right foot, and kicked towards the round cake table covered with a white tablecloth with exquisite lace patterns¡ª¡ª

    The actors pretended not to see it, while many eyes outside the camera stared!

    Bang bang!  !  The round cake table was kicked up immediately, and the huge three-tiered wedding cakeIt flew to the ground and collapsed!

    "Oh my God!", "Oh no!!" Bourne and Kana both screamed miserably. The family and guests around them were all horrified and stretched out their hands instinctively. However, no one could save them, and the entire wedding cake fell on the grass.  superior¡­¡­

    Ye Wei maintained a leg-control side kicking posture with one foot on the ground and the other raised, and his bare right ankle shook a few times.

    "Cut!" As soon as Jennifer Anderson called it off, Gia couldn't help but laugh, and everyone else also laughed and applauded. This shot is so great, the audience will definitely laugh!  VIY's kick is really powerful and powerful. He is worthy of being a football captain. What a good kick!

    Gia, Lily and others laughed and said: "He actually broke out, no NG!" Lev said proudly for Ye Wei: "Brother Wei is not afraid of anything done with his feet." Bud nodded and said: "He  He has a golden right leg." Lily also smiled brightly, "I promise, this kick is not his most exciting one."

    The completion of this shot means that all the remade shots are finished!

    But we still have to look at the replay to determine whether it is Good-Take or NG. Ye Wei took the lead and came to the monitor. Watching the replay, Jennifer Anderson's smile suddenly froze. Sean Maurer also noticed it.  Ya also frowned

    Just when Ye Wei finished kicking and everyone was screaming, the microphone ran in from the top of the picture frame, 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 Harrison looked apologetic in panic, "I'm sorry, my fault"

    This is a continuous main shot. The 5 or 6 seconds when the microphone breaks in are the most exciting moments. How can we edit and cut it out?  If there is another one, the cake is gone; the director has no intention of deliberately cheating here What should I do?

    At this time, even the oldest veteran is feeling uneasy. Under such circumstances, it is most normal for the director to be furious. Ang Lee, who is also a Chinese director and is known for his good temper, also suffered from similar situations.  He was so angry that he kicked the trash can next to him away.

    Because everyone put in so much effort, the filming and acting were all very good, but because of one person¡¯s mistake, everything was ruined!  Can you not be angry?

    Ye Wei is still just a 16-year-old boy. He was so angry that he wanted to beat Dre Harrison with a microphone boom, but no one would think there was a problem.

    A storm is coming!  They looked at the director's expressionless face and couldn't help but feel horrified. If he yelled, it wouldn't be so scary. Now that he doesn't speak, it makes people feel even more scary

    The Xianza people were also very nervous. Lily raised her eyebrows and stared, wanting to say something, but after all, she was not a professional, so she didn¡¯t know what to say. She just said: "Can it be erased with special effects?"

    "Okay." Gia nodded and persuaded Ye Wei: "The cost of doing special effects for this shot is obviously less than shooting another shot. Director, can you do the special effects?" Jennifer Anderson and others also agreed, this is not a bad idea.  A good idea.

    But Ye Wei still didn't speak. He seemed to be completely burned by anger, and seemed to be thinking about something

    "No, no need."

    Everyone was startled, what did he mean?
