Chapter 102 Filming is a hard job(2/2)
"Andre, do you think Garbo is beautiful?" Heidi asked suddenly for no reason.
"It's not bad." I replied casually, but as soon as I said it, I immediately regretted it: Isn't this seeking death?
Sure enough, the murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the two little hooves looking at me.
"Well, Jack, did you have lunch well?" I quickly changed the subject, but in the end I couldn't escape the clutches.
After being repaired, Heidi gestured sarcastically: "I tell you, Lenny and I will monitor us at any time. If we find out that you have any charms, just wait and see."
I looked up at the front of the car and saw Jack with sympathy.
When we arrived at the castle, there were more than two hours before the sun set. Heidi and Lenny were both stunned by the scene in front of us.
On the original plain, a strangely shaped black trees without leaves suddenly appeared. The forest was surrounded by the mountain, leaving a road in the middle. The road was winding and rugged, leading to the castle in the distance. The castle was also redecorated outside. Many places were added with imitation walls made of foam, making it look very much like a huge skull. On the top of the castle, a flag was hung with a red dragon rusted on it, which was the symbol of Dracula's family emblem.
Around the woods are all small medieval buildings. A simple inn was built at the opening of the woods, and a spacious carriage was parked next to the inn.
"Boss, you're here." As soon as he got off the car, Gans, sweating profusely, came up.
"It's not bad, you did a good job! The scene is arranged similar to what I imagined." Looking at the setting in front of me, I was filled with joy.
This part of the play is the first time that Dracula's residence, who has become a vampire in the movie, has appeared in front of the audience. I must attract the audience. Not only did I arrange various medieval styles of sets, but I also strongly set off the atmosphere, trying to show the audience a mysterious, strange, cold and slightly terrifying Dracula Castle.
The scene filmed at night mainly involves Butt taking a carriage to the Earl's territory in a high and windy night, but after he arrived at a forest, the owner was unwilling to walk inside. After throwing Butt down, he drove the carriage away. Butt didn't understand why the owner was so panicked, but the strange environment around him frightened him: there were a little ghost fire in the woods, and white wolves ran around, and they howled to the moon, with a shrill voice. Butt was very scared and thought that he would be buried in the wolf's mouth, a black carriage stopped in front of him. The person driving the car was wearing black armor, and the horse pulling the carriage was skeletons. Butt sat in the carriage in fear, and after all the thrilling journey, he finally entered the castle.
The whole scene was only a few minutes in the movie, but for the sake of the set and related props, I spent nearly $100,000 at once.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the shooting location was clear. Almost everyone in the DreamWorks played. I, Stengburg, Griffith, Dunar, and Stiller were responsible for a camera. Gans led people to be responsible for props and various effects such as ghost fire. Jassel was responsible for the overall planning. More than a dozen beast trainers invited from the Los Angeles Beast Taming Group were specifically responsible for the more than 20 white wolf.
After I was ready, I ordered the lights and torches to be turned off. The surroundings suddenly fell into hazy moonlight, and a mysterious atmosphere suddenly appeared.
Looking at the effect in the camera, I was very excited and picked up the guide and announced the start of shooting.
But to my surprise, the shooting was extremely unsuccessful, and various problems arose. Carriages could not stop at the designated location. Horses pulling carriages often panic because of camera lenses. Ghost fires could not be lit on time, or they would be exposed. The strong wind caused by accident will blow down the arranged trees. What's even more annoying is that the more than 20 white wolves asked them to run with carriages and they lie on the ground and they won't run. They rush around in the woods, making the set a mess. In order to shoot a shot of a moon-long howling, I waited for an hour. Those beast trainers were even more idiotic. Sometimes they could suddenly run into the camera, which would make your efforts go into nothing.
