As night falls on the North American continent, there are no stars in Springfield¡¯s dark night sky. The w¡¯sb crew¡¯s Halloween closing party is held at the Twin Oaks Country Club. Each member can freely choose whether to attend or not.
To hold a party at Twin Oaks, you must be a member of the club or have a member sponsor the event. There are no members in the crew, but it is easy to find a member to help. Ye Wei made a call to Daniel Woodrell. The crew planned a banquet hall with a dance floor, and the venue, catering and other expenses were all US$20,000 after discounts. This expense is not included in the 3 million production budget. It is a benefit paid out of the pocket of the only boss Ye Wei. Working for him is notoriously hard, and he is also famous for his generosity.
Club manager Deanna Hitchcock was actually overjoyed to be able to host this party. Even though her last name seemed to be closely related to the movie, this was her first time working on a movie crew. Twin Oaks originally proposed to hold a grand party that would allow some member families to attend, but Ye Wei declined.
This is a very private party, and any filming or gossiping is strictly prohibited. The slogan is "dress up, even if it's a squirrel!"
At this time, the banquet hall of the w¡¯sb crew in the brightly lit clubhouse was bustling with activity. The party is cocktail style and casual attire as well as Halloween costumes are acceptable. The busy days of the past few days left everyone unprepared, and they were satisfied just to relax. The costume and make-up teams were the most energetic in dressing up, but they were just a little bit similar, a group of gangsters from the Ozark Mountains.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Monsters, monsters, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Superman
The most eye-catching person in the audience was the "Ice Age" quartet of Ye Wei, Gia, Jennifer and Alicia. Gia had already prepared all her outfits.
Ye Wei dressed up as the squirrel "Shu Kuite", not only wearing a squirrel skin one-piece suit with a tail hood, but also holding a huge hazelnut. Jennifer is Diego, the saber-toothed tiger, Alicia is Manny, the mammoth, and Gia is Sid, the sloth.
People were walking around, laughing, sitting on chairs and resting, and on the dance floor under the shining lights, there were waves of cheers.
""Ye Wei acted funny holding the big hazelnut, talking like a gulu, twisting and dancing. Jennifer on the sidelines suddenly rushed over to grab the hazelnuts. He quickly clasped his hands tightly and neighed at her with bared teeth: "It¡¯s-my-precio! it¡¯s-precio!"
His voice made everyone overjoyed. Dunham, who was playing the role of a western cowgirl, laughed and shouted: "Peter Jackson should really see your performance!" Ye Wei showed a wicked smile on his face, threw Hazel up high and caught it again. He shrugged his shoulders, looked left and right, and let out a low laugh of "hee hee hee", "my-precio!"
"No matter what the world, squirrels are not afraid of tigers anymore!" Jennifer wanted to grab it again. This time she almost jumped on Ye Wei and treated him like a bull. Finally, we could have fun together again!
"Haha! Come on, let's dance!" Ye Wei put the hazelnuts into his backpack, took Jennifer's hand and danced casually. She was huffing and puffing like crazy, shouting to him: "Come on, brother squirrel! Come on, brother squirrel!"
In the brisk Missouri country music, the two terrifying dancers appeared again. Alicia was raising her arms and shouting, others were also cheering, and Gia was already dancing.
Jennifer completely showed her true colors as a wild girl, shaking her head, twisting her waist and hips, beating her hands back and forth, and screaming from time to time. When she got excited, Ye Wei also enjoyed himself, matching her wild dance moves, twisting his butt and waving his squirrel tail. The last time he was so happy was the night before filming started.
After a crazy dance, Jennifer wanted to continue dancing, but Ye Wei was snatched away by Alicia.
Alice is a super dancer, so of course Ye Wei has to use his best dancing skills to dance ballroom dance with her, ballet? Sorry, ankles are a football player's life!
"Why do you think there was an ice age?" He looked into Alice's eyes with a smile, put his arm around her waist, held hands with the other and danced slowly, and saw a smile on her face.
This was a question she answered during the Q&A session at the viy talent show, along with "Which animal in "Ice Age" is your favorite?" and "Are penguins in the Arctic or Antarctic?" She answered hurriedly at the time: "Nature's "Adjustment." "The mammoth." "Antarctica." She thought he hadn't noticed.
"Why?" Ye Wei asked, don't take any more nature classes.
"Because" Alicia thought, grabbed the inspiration and said: "The earth wants to treat all animals to eat ice cream." Ye Wei was stunned, turned around and said: "Okay, it's a great idea. In my opinion Come because 'Essie Time' is so cool." Alicia smiled knowingly, "Alicia and Ice."
"Will you really go to Sweden next year?" she asked.
"Yes, I really can." Ye Wei replied while dancing: "But the next time we meet will not be in Sweden but in Los Angeles, and the next time too.""Are you satisfied with my 'Gail'?" she asked again, her dance became a little nervous.
"Very satisfied." Ye Wei nodded, "Only surprises and no disappointments. Let me tell you, if you go shopping more during this time, your days of shopping freely will be numbered." Alicia smiled and leaned close to him, As if he had made up his mind, he asked softly: "How can I get your kiss?"
"Ah?" He threw her away, almost as if she was electrocuted, and immediately said: "No matter what, I have a girlfriend."
Alicia was hit by huge disappointment for a moment, but she didn't quite believe it. "Really?" He nodded firmly, and she couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "I just want to make sure, because I like you." Her confession was natural and generous. , "I have feelings for you that every girl has."
"Thank you, thank you very much!" This was not the first time Ye Wei had dealt with this situation. What was a bit funny was that he was wearing a squirrel suit, jumped to the side with her in a quiet place, and said sincerely: "Alice, you are a pleasant person. Girl, so I like chatting with you, but I really have a girlfriend. No matter where I am, my heart is with her. "
Alicia's eyes were full of envy, and Ye Wei laughed, spinning around with her and saying, "Despite this, I believe there is a way to continue our friendship. Pure friendship between men and women is difficult, but It¡¯s not like Gia and I, right?¡±
"Of course!" Alicia didn't have much expectations, so she wasn't much disappointed. His response was really good. She confessed and was rejected, but she didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she seemed to become closer. He knew that I liked him.
Ye Wei suddenly had an idea and smiled mysteriously: "Alice, I have really been bathing in the sunshine of love recently. A lot of interesting things happened on the set this month. You and Jennifer have given me inspiration. I Wrote a rap called "Director."
"Can I hear you sing?" Alicia was very interested.
"You're not listening to me singing, you're singing together! The debut of the 'Ice Age' band!" Ye Wei became more and more excited as he thought about it. He let go of Alice and shouted to the lively surroundings: "Gia!"
Gia jumped out of nowhere, and Jennifer also came to join in the fun. Ye Wei asked: "Where is my guitar?" Gia said blankly: "I don't care, it's all finished." Ye Wei growled: "I want to have fun. Yeah, just get me a damn guitar! And you two, follow me"
Everyone ate desserts and drank drinks, and when they were in the mood, they went to the dance floor to dance. Songs on the dance floor were sung one after another. The party atmosphere was strong, and it was still early to leave at ten o'clock.
"Ladies and gentlemen." After another song, a radio sound suddenly sounded throughout the banquet hall. Ma Ling and Cahill stopped dancing, and the whole place fell silent. The DJ at the club said: "Tonight's party has a performance session. Please welcome your guest performer, the 'Ice Age' Band, with the warmest applause!"
There was a burst of applause in the banquet hall, and everyone was shouting and surrounding the dance floor.
I saw Ye Wei, Jennifer, Gia and Alicia standing side by side from tallest to shortest on the dance floor. The colorful lights made them look like rock stars, but only Ye Wei was wearing a primary-color acoustic guitar. The four of them all had cool and serious faces and said in unison: "Hello everyone, welcome to the Ice Age! Today we are going to present our rap song director."
As soon as the crowded crowd heard about director, the already heated atmosphere became even more joyful, and assistant director Anderson was also shouting!
"Yo, yo, yo." Ye Wei casually played the guitar a few times, tried his voice, took a deep breath, became serious but pretended to be arrogant, played a simple guitar accompaniment, and started singing at a moderate speed : "baby_light, leave_ÈÕght, day_for_night, tontana, meatndy- meatndy_on_the_flight. (Soft light, put it there, daylight and night scene, close-up shot of two people, and finally switch to the plane.)"
He looked at Jenny and Alice walking out and continued to sing: "Listen_director-s_bhught, james_and_athena, a_honey_honey_in_the_mysterious. (You listen to the director's wise words, James and Athena, a pair of true love sweet couple)¡±
After everyone listened to these two lyrics that were full of studio atmosphere, there were already shouts of laughter from all around. After a month, the newbies are also familiar with a lot of jargon.
Dunham couldn't help but applaud. Baby-light is a 500-1000 watt soft light, leave-day is the abbreviation of "leave-are-day-there (put that thing there)", day-for -night has long been a popular term. Montana means "mountain" in Spanish. It captures a close-up view of the chest. Meat-ndy refers to something that the camera shoots quickly from one side to the other in a continuous manner.
Lighting, scenery, camera position, camera movement, direction, and a series of mise-en-sc¨¨ne describe a scene: under the soft moonlight, a couple in the airport reluctantly said goodbye.??Perhaps a man or a woman is leaving on a plane.
While Ye Wei was singing, the two young actresses came to the front and stood still, looking at each other silently, as if they were looking at each other affectionately.
At this time, Gia clapped her hands and shouted: "Nonbatants, no waves, no waves get hurt! (Non-combatants, if no one moves, no one gets hurt!)" Her words made the assistant directors Everyone burst into laughter, and many people immediately turned to petrification and automatically cooperated with this scene.
Ye Wei raised his eyebrows and sang: "Lights, camera, action! (Turn on the lights, start photography, start shooting!)"
He was playing the guitar, and the two girls continued to look at each other affectionately without moving. He suddenly shouted and sang: "cut! no_good. touch_her_shoulder, touch_takes_his_chest. touch ve_in_a_little_cloth. (Stop! This one didn't pass. You Holding her shoulder, you touch his chest [pun intended: you take over her treasury] and get closer."
The crowd laughed even louder, and someone whistled. It was definitely not the director of w¡¯sb!
The two girls moved in response. Jennifer, who was pretending to be a man, had just reached out and put her hand on Alicia's shoulders. Gia nervously sang: "Director! Bogies_at_privatex_o-clock. (Director! There is one at six o'clock." Monsters are out / The camera may have been spent, we¡¯re in trouble )¡±
Ye Wei looked at Giya with a look of shock and anger. This caused everyone to laugh and exclaim, the filming has just started! If it did happen on set, everyone but the director would be in trouble. Ye Wei screamed: "what_have_i_got? this_isn-t_even_walk-and-talk! (What_have_i_got? This_isn-t_even_walk-and-talk!)
This is a close-up shot of two people, neither of them moving around. How could they encounter a monster?
Gia glared and said loudly: "But if_they_are_looking_at_that, we_are_in_t bleak. (But if the audience sees that, we will be in trouble.)
Ye Wei let out an extremely arrogant laugh, retracted his disdainful eyes, and sang: "Deal, I can fix it in edit table, such as rear! (What a fuss, I can fix it on the editing table, such as using rear projection. Start shooting!)
Another burst of laughter, photographer Michael Grady laughed the most, this song is really the most fun that they can have!
Gia¡¯s entire sentence is what photographers often say to directors when there are problems such as something that doesn¡¯t match, parallax, cross-cutting, off-axis, etc. Sometimes the director says, "You're right," and sometimes the director says, "What a fuss."
Rear-projection cannot be solved in any way. Rear-projection refers to projecting a pre-recorded scene (highway, skiing, surfing, receding road scene, etc.) behind the actor during filming to create a blurry effect on the actor. It's like pretending to be really driving. Rear projection is the most backward and has long been replaced by front-projection. However, since the popularization of CGI technology, these projection technologies have now been eliminated. The "director" said that he would use rear projection in the editing room to solve the problem of camera penetration
Looking at everyone¡¯s smiling faces, Ye Wei couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, and quickly put it back, this is a performance!
Jennifer and Alicia are indeed full-time actors. They acted as soon as they heard the action, leaning on their shoulders and chests.
Ye Wei sang more and more dissatisfiedly, with each cut and action increasing, and he was performing what it means to be affectionate in line with the lyrics, which looked very funny.
¡°cut!give_me_touchre_damn_etouch_jt_like_dull_!
(Stop! Give me more damn emotion, stop being such a silly duck. Start filming!)
(Stop! Don¡¯t you understand what love is? It¡¯s the feeling of having all the good luck in the world. Start shooting!)
Cut!don-t_tempt_understand_e_heart_roll_!
(Stop! Don¡¯t you know what love is? It means that the heart is beating to rock music all the time. Start filming!)¡±
You know how viy coaxes girls! Everyone became more and more happy, Ma Ling looked at Cahill, and Dunham imitated Ye Wei's interpretation of love in a funny way, feeling elated, happy, and excited. But the two girls who performed again and again seemed to be dissatisfied. Just when Ye Wei shouted to start filming again, an accident happened.
Jennifer suddenly said: "i-under-protest. (I reserve my opinion.)" Ye Wei was burned and screamed: "what_the_f-uck? (What the hell?)
The whole audience burst into laughter, and everyone was cheering. These two sentences were inherently funny, and they had a special side to their crew. This matter was a taboo topic before, but now the two?I took it out and made fun of it, which really pulled out the thorn in everyone's heart regardless of whether it was there or not.
At the same time, Jennifer asked very doubtfully: "Are you a bastard and say a love? (You are a bastard playboy, how can you understand literary methods, acting and love?)"
Ye Wei looked furious as if he wanted to hit her on the head with a guitar, and screamed: "are_trying_to_private_my_chair?who_do_tempt_think_tempt_are?stanislavski_says_tempt_suck!action! (You are trying to sit in my chair? My director¡¯s chair? Who do you think you are? Stanislavski said you suck!)¡±
"Pfft haha!" Gia burst into laughter. Stanislavski scolded both methodists and expressionists, and the "director" was an experientialist.
When filming started again, Alicia continued to perform an affectionate farewell to Jennifer while holding back her laughter.
People were cheering and colorful lights were gathering and dispersing. Ye Wei was shaking his head, playing the guitar and rapping quickly: "
¡°cut!give_me_touchre_damn_etouch_jt_like_dull_!
(Stop! Give me more damn emotion, stop being such a silly duck. Start filming!)
(Stop! Don¡¯t you understand what love is? That means the whole world is in the style of "Green Fields". Start filming!)
"Huhu!!!" Everyone was excited because of these love words. Gia gave a thumbs up. Don't tell me, this bad boy has his own opinions on love.
The raintree used to make rain is always with you. It rains whenever you want. How romantic. Green-acres is a well-known comedy series in the 1960s and 1970s. It tells the story of a couple who moves from New York to live on a farm in the countryside. It seems silly but is a soap opera that has a large audience of housewives. Its scenes are always sunny, the scenery is bright, the photography is flat, the foreground of the picture is obviously or even excessively lit, the overall production is excellent, and the characters present perfect images in the picture, this is the "Green Field style".
It's like this on the set. Usually the cinematographer can't stand the director's dissatisfaction with the lighting and complains: "What on earth do you want me to shoot? "Green Fields"?" Art Director Julie Berghoff also laughed You have to be happy, w'sb's lighting is very little, the picture is bleak and cold, it is completely anti-GA.
"Director." This time it was Alicia's turn to interrupt. Ye Wei looked at her panting, ready to explode at any moment. Alicia asked: "are_from_tennesese? (Are you from Tennessee?) Ye Wei screamed again: "what_the_f-uck?" Alicia shrugged and spread her hands: "becae_temptation _are_the_only_talent_i_É«e. (Because you are the only talent I see.)¡±
The veterans were bursting into laughter again. The word talent means genius, but on the set it refers to a minor actor who can be seen by the audience in the camera. They usually have a few lines. They are not necessarily geniuses. This word can make fun of all little people.
The other actor was also dissatisfied. Aren't you just a second-hand director? You still dictate.
"no!i_from_sweden, and_i_can_let_tempt_done! (No, I'm from Sweden, I can still make you finish!)" Ye Wei yelled, looking like he was pleading in the blink of an eye. The director, who was about to be driven crazy by the actor, continued to sing: " please_give_me_touchre_damn_etouch_jt_like_dull_! (Please, give me more damn feelings, don¡¯t be like some dumb duck. Start filming!)
Jennifer and Alicia performed again and again, and Ye Wei went crazy again and again:
(Stop! Even the "God of Machines" can't help you idiots with empty minds and monotonous emotions. It sucks! Start shooting!)
Cut!screw_sandbags_don-t_know_love!fuck_off!
(Stop, you sandbags who don¡¯t understand love, get out of here! Get out!!!)¡±
He yelled like crazy, and the laughter on the dance floor reached a new level of decibels. If not everyone understands the God of Machinery, sandbags are familiar to everyone. Sandbags are one of the most common multi-functional tools on the set, like marking the actors' movements.
At this time, both Jennifer and Alicia were angry, waving their fistsGo up and beat him. Ye Wei was immediately frightened, and hurriedly ran outside the crowd, shouting repeatedly: "cut! cut! cut!" The two girls who were chasing him shouted in unison: "sure! we-ll-cut-lure" -in-half! (Of course! We'll cut you in two!)"
Everyone cheered, laughed, and applauded thunderously. They separated a road and watched the three people who ran past run away in the distance. They ran out of the banquet hall and went to nowhere.
Gia coughed and said: "that-s-it, that', that's-a-rat. (That's it, done. Yes, that's a rat.)" Wrap is a homophone for rat, and the assistant director complained about the director. , that¡¯s a nasty guy!
As soon as she said this, she was finally able to laugh as loudly as they did, and the "Ice Age" band's debut was a complete success! Ha ha ha ha!
¡¡
Los Angeles is also enveloped in a Halloween atmosphere, with children busy begging for candy and festive parties everywhere.
Lily felt very sorry for not being able to spend the first Halloween of love with Wei as she wished, and she had prepared a lot The weather couldn't help it. She had thought about joining him in Springfield, but today was not a holiday, and she had to go to school tomorrow. He also excitedly said that he would attend the crew's party. If she went too, it would be like announcing their relationship. How can I put itfeeling trapped.
She didn¡¯t go in the end. She attended a Halloween party held by the student union tonight. She had a great time with a few friends and left home after almost time. It's 10 o'clock here and 12 o'clock in the morning there. He should go back to the hotel to rest. In this festival, it's okay to listen to him telling ghost stories.
The phone number dialed, and after a few beeps the call was connected. Lily smiled and said, "Happy Halloween, squirrel."
"Haha, happy Halloween, Goth ghost!" Ye Wei's laughter and shouts came from the mobile phone, as well as noisy and chaotic sounds. Different girls' voices shouted: "Why is there an Ice Age?", "Because of us?" So cool!¡±
"Jenny, get out of here! You all get out of here" He yelled and then laughed: "It's Jennifer and Alicia. Gia is here too. A group of us are going to the cinema to watch "Saw 3" ". I said I wanted to talk to my girlfriend on the phone, and they teased me. They didn't know who you were."
Lily frowned slightly, he was still playing around so late and wanted to go to the midnight show, "Oh, then." Then you don't want to chat with me?
"Hey I have to go, see you tomorrow, good night, bye, love you!"
"Okay, good night, see you tomorrow."
Before she could finish speaking, he had already hung up in a hurry. Was he in such a hurry Ice Age?
Why was there an Ice Age? Because he was killed by an asshole.
Why is there the Jurassic? Because he was killed by an asshole.
Why is Lily depressed? Because he was killed by an asshole.
