Today's set for the LMS crew is located on a section of the highway west of Toronto heading to Mississauga. There are roadside restaurants, convenience stores, phone booths and other story scenes needed for filming, and it is guaranteed that the audience will feel like they are heading there. On the road in California, insert a few real California road shots while driving to create a perfect movie magic.
When going out on location, a location as close to the set as possible is called "Base-Camp", just like the parking lot where the crew's fleet is now stationed, where all vehicles gather. However, in Canada, it is popularly called "Circus". The LMS crew followed the local customs and called it a circus.
At this time, the circus is already busy. The venue management department is unloading the photography equipment from the transport truck and moving it to the set; the styling department is preparing the actors; the food supply team is looking for a good location to display which photo will be There is a big table filled with various snacks. Some people get hungry easily. No, there are already several people gathered around the table to get something.
As a director, after Ye Wei got off the crew car, he did not go to the set with Maurer immediately. Instead, he walked around the circus to cheer everyone up and create a good start for today's long shooting. As for the work of hosting and setting up the set, it was left to assistant director Jennifer Anderson.
"Hey! Adam." Ye Wei greeted everyone he met along the way. He just shouted to the art designer Adam Stockhausen, and then smiled to the art director Donald Burt: "Good morning, Man, I have a feeling something good is going to happen today, haha.¡±
"Good morning, director." Everyone responded with a smile.
Ye Wei walked around for half a circle, not only saying hello, but also making eight decisions for each department. From time to time, he could hear Emma's chuckle. This guy was always following him! Finally at the food table again, he looked at her, frowned and asked, "You don't have to put on makeup?"
"Didn't you say no?" Emma was startled. She asked yesterday. He said that because her role is to express natural beauty, she doesn't need to wear makeup, just put on some powder and look natural.
"Then you don't have to follow me." Ye Wei took a small piece of bread from the food table, praised the buyer Devin, and then walked to the set.
"I like it." Emma smiled and continued to follow, as if she were his bodyguard, a 5-foot bodyguard. After walking for a while and just leaving the circus, Emma said: "For me, something good has happened today. I'm so happy to be in your movie."
"Thank you, it's my pleasure." Ye Wei was still chewing on the bread and walked onto the street towards the restaurant, "You were not willing at the beginning, you almost tore me to pieces."
"It's not that scary. I was a little resistant at first. We weren't familiar with each other at that time." Emma walked in front of him and looked at him sideways, "Aren't you excited? But I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Ye Wei shrugged, swallowed the last bite of bread, watched the photography and field staff moving many equipment into the restaurant, and replied: "Of course I am excited."
"You don't look like"
"I'm so excited!" Ye Wei made a fist-clenching gesture like a little girl, "OK?" Emma was embarrassed, and he laughed, "To be honest, I'm excited, it's our first time working together; I'm just not that excited, Because we will definitely have more opportunities for cooperation in the future.¡±
Emma said in surprise: "You think so!?"
Ye Wei nodded: "Yes, in fact, after filming "Little Miss Sunshine", I plan to make some movies with girls as the protagonists. It's just an idea, but today is definitely just the beginning."
"I'm interested, I'm definitely interested!" Emma said quickly, her heart beating a lot faster. The protagonist and the guest star are so different. "If you really shoot it, I will definitely participate in the competition!"
"Then perform well today and leave a good impression on me. You will get extra points when the time comes." Ye Wei laughed and walked to the front of the restaurant. He had already looked at it during the location scouting. Now he observed it again, through the large glass You can see into the restaurant, and you can also see out from the inside, giving you a real feeling of being on the street.
¡°Look, it¡¯s ready.¡± Emma¡¯s face was full of confidence. She had prepared for this scene with only two lines for so long, and she was confident that she would not NG once!
She had the idea of ????striving for success. Nina could perform like that with zero rehearsal, and she has acted in many movies and TV shows. She is still Roberts after all. If she performs poorly, she will laugh to death. If he doesn't laugh, she laughs.
Thinking of Nina, she remembered something, and Emma said hurriedly: "By the way, after work today, remember to take me to see Katie. You don't even know that I have nightmares almost every night recently, and Stranger He was killed, and then Twiggy and Stranger started fighting"
"Please, I told you, those screams are not real, they were recorded by us stimulating it, including me, Meow Meow!"
"How can it be $? It screams so miserably! You?Didn¡¯t you beat it? "
"Do you think I can?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I was just worried"
"You will see Katie. I may not take you there, but you will always see her if you want to."
During the conversation, Ye Wei walked into Cole's fast food and coffee restaurant, which today only deals with the LMS crew, and exchanged greetings with the enthusiastic restaurant owner and his family. They were the "miscellaneous people" on the set. All employees and customers were organized by the group. To perform, they don¡¯t need to do anything.
You just have to watch the fun obediently. You can't hinder the arrangement of the camera crew, you can't disturb the celebrities casually, and you can't take pictures privately. If you have time when you finish work, you can take a few photos, and then the photos will be hung in the most conspicuous place at the entrance. When customers come in in the future , "Little Miss Sunshine was filmed in our restaurant! Look, Tom Hanks took a photo with me."
After the greetings, Ye Wei continued to seem to be doing nothing. He had already agreed on the camera seat and the use of mirrors in the car, but the character's seat had not yet been decided. He stood on this side of the aisle, looking at the three-sided dining table that was against the glass window wall and could see the traffic on the street outside, thinking.
Grandpa, Frank, and Devine sit on the left, one camp, allies; Oliver sits in the middle, swinging, the protagonist; Cheryl sits next to her in the corner, guardian, mentor; Richard sits on the right, another camp , looking at the isolated villain who is far away from everyone, living outside the family.
Why do allies sit on the left? Because humans are accustomed to looking from left to right. When a group of people sit there, the left side of the frame makes people feel more friendly and natural, while the right side is the opposite.
Ye Wei looked around the busy surroundings again, thinking about where to sit Emma, ??and then directed: "Emma, ??sit there and let me see the effect."
"Okay." At his signal, Emma sat down at a table on the upper left side of the main dining table, facing this way with a big smile on her face.
Ye Wei picked up the director's viewfinder hanging around his neck with his right hand. The Alan Gordon sign that was hanging on the wall of his bedroom at home. He squinted his left eye and pointed his right eye up to check the lens frame. It was a bit slow to adjust the parameters with one hand In this position, Emma will be the background of the three-person shot of Grandpa and the others, highlighting the same camp.
"Sit here and take a look." After testing for a while, he pointed to the table directly opposite the main dining table. Emma stood up and walked over to sit down, resting her chin on her palms, her smile getting happier.
But he didn't pay attention to her smiling face. In this position, Emma and Oliver would be facing each other. The camera was placed on the left side of the aisle. It would be a multi-person shot with strong contrast. Oliver was on the far left of the frame, Emma was on the far right, and Sherrie Er is on the left, and Richard is in the middle. When he whispers Emma as an example of losing weight, he can capture the reactions of many parties at the same time, and Emma becomes a false enemy. It would be great if she reverses the situation again.
"Haha" Emma chuckled again. It was really great to see him exuding a kind of light called talent.
"What is so funny about you?" Ye Wei put down the director's viewfinder and looked at himself, "Did I wear my clothes inside out? Did I show my bottom? It doesn't seem like it."
His words almost made everyone around him burst into laughter, but who knows whether they are suitable or not. It is best to just go about your work without getting involved
"No, no" Emma suddenly laughed louder. She couldn't help it, but she knew it was not the right time. She was afraid of making him angry, so she stopped quickly, "I'm so happy."
"Okay, that makes sense." Ye Wei didn't really want to pursue it, he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere and continue shooting.
At this time, the photo photographer Fernando, who was responsible for taking studio photos and stills, entered the restaurant and came over and asked: "Director, how many working photos will you take now?" One of his tasks today is to take some photos of Ye Weihe Work photos of Emma together, as well as photos of the leading actors and Emma together, for promotional use. This was the will of Roberts and then the production team.
"Okay, you can take some pictures." Ye Wei said, it was necessary to take pictures anyway.
Fernando raised the camera and said, "Sit next to Emma and take a picture like this?" Ye Wei immediately went to sit next to Emma on the same bench, holding the director's viewfinder in his right hand on the chair. Back, grinning. Emma was also smiling, the absolute close distance was almost touching him.
Just when Fernando was about to press the shutter, Ye Wei suddenly woke up, "Wait!" He quickly stood up and sat on her right side, "Okay." Emma immediately stared!
Ye Weiquan smiled as if he didn't notice, thinking not to appear so intimate. It wasn't because he was worried about what Roberts would think, but because Nina lost her temper on May Day. This is strange to say. It was fine in Los Angeles. It should be said that she was passionate and took the initiative to kiss her several times.
That night, he took a plane back to Toronto and played brain teasers with her. They played a few questions and it was fine. Then he asked the question: "?What is an astronomer? "
The standard answer to this question is "a college-educated night watchman". In fact, the answer is interesting and fun. His own answer is "a college-educated paparazzi", making fun of astronomers, paparazzi and celebrities. But Nina thought about answering "Research on aliens?" and "People who landed on the moon?" and actually said "Shakespeare?"
Seeing that she really couldn¡¯t answer, and she was very cute and funny, he couldn¡¯t help but say ¡°Silly-Girl¡±. This was just a term of endearment, and he would say this to her almost every day. As for her, she giggled and coquettishly. At that time, she was very angry and said with a cold face, "I am an idiot, you are a smart person, you are smart! That's it." She ignored him. If she hadn't been on the plane, she would have roared and roared.
There are few girls who don't lose their temper or act petty. Lily is very rare. Once she gets angry, she gets out of control Nina gets angry from time to time. She doesn't need a reason when she wants to get angry, but usually it's just a few words of coaxing and flirting. , but it was really difficult that time. I went back to Toronto and left the airport, and it took a lot of effort to coax her out.
"You can't say that she is being unreasonable. In fact, it is not difficult to guess the reason. It is his fault, and he admits it. So it's better to keep a safe distance from Emma's photo, lest the silly girl sees it and gets angry again.
"Seriously?" Emma said displeased, these work photos are such a good souvenir, our first collaboration! How could it be photographed like this
"Smile!" Ye Wei grinned. Emma had no choice but to obey, otherwise it would be even worse.
Click click click, Fernando pressed the shutter of the professional camera and took one picture after another. Ye Wei was determined to restrain herself. It was not until the leading actors arrived one after another, and Abigail sat in the middle, that Fernando took some more youthful and energetic photos, such as the three of them making funny faces together, intimate headshots, etc.
Then Julia Roberts and other people also participated in taking some photos, and Fernando¡¯s work photo task today can be said to be completed, as well as stills.
Not long after, the first "FIRE" sound of the day sounded on the set, and the clicking sound of film running echoed in the restaurant.
Emma¡¯s scenes were not filmed until later. At first, she sat or stood outside the performance area, watching the crew complete each shot and watching how VIY directed it. She was fascinated. Those idiots who say he is an idler on the set and gets scolded and cried should come and take a look. He gives Tom Hanks NG! Give Julia Roberts NG!
She endured it very hard not to laugh out loud, and she didn¡¯t know why she was laughing
Finally, more than an hour later, her scene was about to be taken!
