Chapter 701 Ten Thousand Ringing Firecrackers

"Battle Raccoons!"

"Act One."

"action!"

The three little guys were digging through the trash can, one of them had its butt exposed, and suddenly the trash can fell down, making a bang, which frightened the other two raccoons.

From here, the filming officially begins.

Just after taking a few shots, Jiang Hao called the card, and the others looked at each other, Jiang Hao said to the photographer:

"The camera is zoomed in, and close-ups are needed. I want to highlight the close-up shots of the characters, so that the audience doesn't have to work hard to observe the details of the characters when watching the movie, and just enjoy it."

"Good director." said the cameraman.

Started shooting again, this time with a few close-ups of the little ones.

Monroe was watching Jiang Hao's filming. Since a few days ago, she has officially entered the role of an actor, carefully guessing the content of the script, hoping that there will not be too many opportunities.

Under Jiang Hao's training, the three little raccoons performed well, which surprised the staff. They have never seen such a spiritual animal actor. You know, in the past, animal scenes were the most difficult to shoot. You have to keep an eye on it and cut it out of a lot of footage to use it.

But these three little raccoons, as if they could understand the director's words, performed the scenes required in the script from beginning to end, just like real actors, which surprised everyone.

"Okay, this scene is over, let's shoot the second scene." Jiang Hao looked at it from beginning to end and said with satisfaction.

The staff immediately changed positions and moved to the back of the rented two-story building to film the scene of the little raccoon on the window.

One day passed, the crew filmed three episodes, and successfully completed the plan. Jiang Hao didn't urge him, and the first day hadn't settled in yet, so there was no need to rush to work, and announced that it would continue tomorrow.

Movies pay attention to fine workmanship, slow work and meticulous work, but Jiang Hao knows that Hong Kong is famous for making movies in later generations. It is notoriously fast. There are many people who shoot a movie in two or three weeks, and big productions can be finished in two or three months. .

Now this "Battle of the Raccoons" is a comedy. It doesn't need to be so carefully crafted. As long as the joyful atmosphere is filmed, it is a victory. Jiang Hao has the knowledge of later generations and has his own uniqueness in the use of certain shots. I believe it will definitely attract the audience.

When the crew was disbanded, Jiang Hao called the performing arts department staff and said, "Help me find a female supporting role."

"Boss, what conditions do you need, I will go to the actors' union immediately to check." The staff said.

"I already have a candidate. I'm looking for a girl named Deborah. She should be in Hollywood now. Go to the labor union to find her contact information, call her directly, and ask her if she would like to play a supporting role." Jiang Hao Said.

"Okay boss, I'll do it right away." The staff member said.

In this play, there are a few supporting actors with some roles, and not too many supporting actresses, but it doesn't matter, Jiang Hao is the director, so adding one will be the end.

Since Noodles wants to help himself, then fulfill his wish.

"Ring ring ring!"

The phone at Deborah's apartment rang suddenly, but no one answered it at all, and the phone rang a lot before hanging up.

Deborah dragged her tired body back to the door of the apartment, took out the key and prepared to open the door. She felt a little depressed. It has been half a year since she came to Los Angeles. Apart from being a dispensable extra, she did not Find real opportunities.

When she came to Los Angeles, she was full of confidence. She felt that she could quickly be spotted by those directors with her beauty and dance, and then she became a star, a big star, and finally became the queen of Hollywood.

It seems to be the dream of every actress who comes to Hollywood.

Later generations reported that in those film and television cities, countless beauties gathered. They used to be so-called school beauties, courtyard beauties, and department beauties, but here, they are nothing. Drink and sleep.

"Ring ring ring!"

The phone in the room rang again. When Deborah heard it, her heart moved. Could it be that some director was looking for her? She quickly turned the key and opened the door anxiously. Taking a breath, he said in a calm and sweet tone, "I'm Deborah, who is it?"

"Miss Deborah, I'm the landlord, and the next quarter's rent is due." The landlord's voice came from the phone.

Deborah's smile collapsed, and her face showed embarrassment. She said, "Mr. Herbert, please allow me a little more time. I haven't received my salary for this month."

"This is the third time."

"I'm very sorry."

"Okay, I'll give it a few more days, only a few days."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Herbert."

Deborah put down the phone, sat on the sofa, and took a deep breath. She originally thought that Hollywood was a paradise for actors, but only after she came here did she realize that this is the cruelest place. There are very few actors who can really fight to become famous. There are very few, and most of them will be unknown, and finally end in sadness.

Do you still want to persist?

But how to solve the rent.

Deborah was in distress.

"Jingle Bell!"

At this moment, the phone rang again, which scared Deborah into a fright. It couldn't be the landlord again, but she couldn't answer it, so she had to bite the bullet and pick it up.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Deborah?" A strange man's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, are you?"

"Hello, I'm a staff member of the Performing Arts Department of Hall Film Company." The other party reported himself.

Hall Films?

Deborah didn't remember the name, but it didn't matter, there were too many studios, and she couldn't possibly know every one of them.

It was a call from the film company. Could it be that she was looking for her to make a movie? Deborah suddenly became excited.

"Is there anything you can do for me?" Deborah asked expectantly.

"We are shooting a movie and we need an actress with lines. Do you have time to audition?" the staff said.

Deborah's heart was beating wildly, "Yes, I have time, now, ah, it's a bit late now, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely be there."

The staff member on the opposite side smiled and said, "Miss Deborah, our company is in New York. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it tomorrow."

Deborah was startled, "New York, is Hall Films in New York?"

"Yes, New York, what's the problem, aren't you coming?" the staff asked.

"Ah~ no no no, I will go, just please give me more time." Deborah said eagerly.

"No problem, our movie has just started shooting, you just need to arrive in New York within three days." The staff said.

"Okay, I will rush to New York as soon as possible." Deborah said with certainty.

After putting down the phone, Deborah fell down on the sofa, dancing with excitement, finally a director took her fancy, and she was able to shoot a character with lines, which made her extremely excited.

Deborah immediately called the airline to book a ticket, packed her things as quickly as possible, and flew back to New York the next day.

Jiang Hao finally saw Deborah. Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Jiang Hao sighed in his heart. Deborah was so beautiful and refined when she was a child, but she lost her spirituality when she grew up.

"Director, what do I need to audition for?" Deborah saw that the director looked at her in a daze, but it wasn't that lewd, and even shook her head slightly, which made her heart rise immediately.

"Let me see you perform a dance."

Deborah once learned to dance professionally, which is considered to be her specialty. She felt a little relieved and danced on her tiptoes.

After the dance, Deborah looked at Jiang Hao, waiting for the director's judgment.

"Okay, stay here." Jiang Hao said softly.

When the director said to stay, Deborah's heart seemed to fly, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, "Thank you director, I will definitely pay attention."

"Assistant director, give her the script." Jiang Hao said to the assistant director next to him.

The assistant director hurriedly handed over a script. Although it was only two pages, it weighed a thousand pounds in Deborah's eyes. This was the first time she acted in a role with lines.

For convenience, the crew rented a hotel, and Deborah also had a room of her own. After putting down her luggage, she couldn't wait to open the script and read it.

Her role is a person who studies acting. She is in the same class as the heroine, and is also a friend of the heroine. During class, the two of them interact. When the heroine is told by the teacher that she has no acting skills and cannot become a good actress, He once encouraged her with kind words, and is a character in the good camp.

This role has no highlights and no conflicts. It belongs to the kind of pure supporting role next to the protagonist, but for Deborah, she is already very satisfied, and this time, in addition to being able to eat and live in the crew, she can also get 1,000 yuan. The remuneration in U.S. dollars is not a small amount of money. Generally, those real supporting roles are paid only this amount.

The filming is progressing steadily. The scene where the little raccoons make trouble is finished, and the next step is Monroe entering the scene, shooting the scene where Monroe returns home and sees the house being messed up by a few troublemakers.

This was Monroe's first act, and Monroe looked very nervous.

"Card!"

"Card!"

"Card!"

It was just a surprised expression at the door, Jiang Hao called the card a few times, but the more so, the more nervous Monroe became, and when she finally opened the door, her face looked very stiff.

"OK, let's rest for 10 minutes."

The others rested, Monroe lowered her head and walked to Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao said with a smile: "The biggest enemy of a newcomer when filming for the first time is nervousness. I told you this before, and the first thing I taught you is nervousness." Do you remember class?"

"Liberate nature." Monroe said.

"Yes, liberate your nature, don't think about other things, whether I can shoot well, how I want to do it, you just walk in naturally, and then you see the mess at home, and being surprised naturally is enough."

"Think about the first time you see the three brothers, it's all there, Monroe, this character is made for you, she is you, so you just play yourself. "

Jiang Hao is definitely the most caring director, there is no way, who told me to sleep with others every day, everything is due to her serving so hard.

"I understand Jon." Monroe felt her confidence return.

After Jiang Hao's education, Monroe finally found the feeling this time, from entering the door, to being surprised, to hearing movement in the bathroom, walking over to check, was startled by three little raccoons, and fell to the ground when she stepped backwards .

The whole scene was acted out, and they all performed well. Jiang Hao watched it again and passed it.

Monroe was very happy.

As long as you have the first success and open your mind, you just need to follow the right path.

The photographer took a shot of three little raccoons being frightened by Monroe and then running away from the window. In fact, when everyone saw this scene, they had an idea in their hearts, that is, the three little raccoons were definitely better than Monroe .

In a horizontal comparison, Monroe, compared with other actresses, except for her good-looking face, her acting skills are at most third-rate. Such a simple life scene needs to be taught by the director.

Compared with other animal actors, these three little raccoons are definitely at the level of monsters. Some people even think that even if they are compared with Monroe, they are better than her. Look at the surprised little eyes and the fluent movement of running away. The images of animals that are frightened and fleeing are vividly expressed.

The filming is still going on, and there is no scene for Deborah for the time being. On this day, Deborah suddenly wanted to go back to her home. She took a taxi to the place where she used to live, and stood outside the door looking at her former home. The door is closed, and now things have changed.

She spent her childhood here, both beautiful and regretful. In her mind, many people's faces turned, and finally, a slightly thin face was fixed in her mind, but she shook her head immediately.

She hated him, even though half a year had passed, she still hated her somewhat.

And she didn't know that the person she hated was sitting in a car across the street, sitting in the back seat, looking at her figure through the window glass.

"Deborah, Deborah"

Noodles muttered the name.

This is the woman he loves so much, and she has never changed from the moment he saw her dancing through the crack of the wall when he was a teenager.

She went to Hollywood, and he doubted that he would never see her again, but now that she came back, he knew that now Deborah was in a film crew and had a small role, which must have been arranged by his mysterious boss. Otherwise, she would not have been recruited from Hollywood for no reason.

"Jayden, let's go."

Noodles said.

Noodles looked at his boss from the rearview mirror, "OK."

The car started and drove away quickly. He didn't want to see her, or dared to see her, as long as he knew that she was doing well, that was enough.

She is in New York now, and he can still see her, which is already very satisfying for Noodles.

The filming process is still going on.

From being young at the beginning, Monroe gradually found the feeling of acting. In fact, this role was tailor-made for her. Moving forward at high speed.

The scene where the gangsters attacked was the essence of the film. It took Jiang Hao and his filming team a full week to finish filming this part, and finally got the most satisfactory results.

Later, some external clips were filmed. For example, when Monroe was in an acting class, Deborah appeared on the stage. I have to say that Deborah's performance was definitely above the standard. Seeing Deborah's performance, Jiang Hao had thought.

The filming of this part was finished soon, and Jiang Hao asked Deborah to come over. Seeing Jiang Hao, Deborah was still a little nervous, and smiled at the director, "Director, what do you want from me."

In fact, she is already ready to be unspoken by the director. This is a necessary stage for every actress, and she is psychologically prepared.

"Would you like to join Hall Film Company and become our official contracted actor? If there is a suitable role for you in the future, I can directly arrange it for you." Jiang Hao said.

The surprise came too suddenly, and Deborah was full of surprise. She signed an actor, so that she would be guaranteed, and the signed actor would also have a stable salary.

"Okay, I do." Deborah said quickly.

Jiang Hao asked people from the performing arts department to take Deborah to the company to sign a contract. Looking at the back of Deborah leaving, Jiang Hao smiled. If you can control your woman, you are afraid that you can't control your man.

Time passed day by day, and the filming was being completed little by little. On this day, after shooting a shot, Jiang Hao looked at the effect, stood up and said with a smile, "Guys, the shooting process is complete."

"Wow~~" The crew immediately cheered.

Jiang Hao said with a smile: "Everyone, I asked the company to prepare a party tonight, everyone can go and have fun and relax."

"Thank you, director." The cheers of the crowd grew louder.

You know, those film companies are very realistic. These actors and staff get salaries. They don’t want to organize any celebration party, and they have to spend an extra sum of money invisibly. Jiang Hao prepares for the party. The actors and staff They are naturally happy.

The party at night was very lively. Everyone came to drink with Jiang Hao. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Jiang Hao nodded. Filming can be called directly, which can save a lot of running-in and familiarization.

Back home at night, Monroe threw Jiang Hao down, pulled out his shirt, stretched out his hand to untie his belt, looked at Jiang Hao with winking eyes and said, "Jon, I want you to love me."

The firecrackers ignited the fuze, and then there was a continuous crackling sound, which was dense and cheerful, and lasted for a long time. It seemed that it was the kind of ten thousand rings.

the next day,

After the film was developed, Jiang Hao devoted himself to the post-editing work. He first produced a first draft, and then gave it to a real editor to cut the scissors. The biggest problem is that I can't bear to put down the scissors.

Out of sight, out of sight, Jiang Hao started making music.

In the previous world, he was also a professional music student. Many classic soundtracks in later generations have not yet appeared, so they can be used here.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and success is just around the corner.
