Chapter 112 Lighting, actors, photography, pay attention, what?! The director is sick!?(1/2)
He took Stenburg's coat and handed it to Julie, who was shaking, and then said to the person, "I'll treat you early, and in the tavern on the street opposite, order whatever you want."
"Long live the boss!"
There was another cheer.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Gans asked after seeing me putting clothes on my body and walking towards the tent.
I coaxed my nose and said, "What are you doing? I'll go back to sleep! By the way, I'll bring me some cold medicine later!"
"Do you have a fever?" The fat man heard that my voice was wrong and hurried over and touched my forehead.
"Get out, how could I have a fever?! I just froze." I took his salty hand away and glanced at him.
The two of them looked at me, looking kind and shaking their heads and going out with a good intention.
When I got to the tent, I fell asleep. The more I slept, the colder I felt. My whole body felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and I was sweating coldly. I was dizzy, and everything around me was spinning. After vomiting for three times, I was weak all over and fell asleep in the quilt.
I don’t know how long it took, but I felt a gentle and cold little hand put on my forehead, and it was so comfortable that I couldn’t help but hum.
"Oh! Why is it so hot! Gans! Berg! Come here for me! Andre is almost dead, you are still drinking there!" A roar came from my ears. The sound was so familiar, but I couldn't remember it.
There were stars in front of me. I could only feel many people running in, feeling me being lifted up, and then I didn't know anything.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon. The warm sunshine shone in from the window, shining on my quilt and on my face, making it so bright that it was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes. I struggled to sit up and found a person lying beside the bed. After a closer look, it turned out to be Heidi.
"Heidi, Heidi, why are you sleeping here?" I woke her up.
Heidi rubbed her eyes and looked at me, screaming: "Andre. Are you awake?!"
"Yes, what's wrong with me?" I looked at the room I was in, it seemed to be a bedroom in the manor.
It’s strange. Didn’t I sleep in the tent last night?! Who brought me here?!
It would be fine if Heidi didn't listen to me. After hearing this, her little face turned green: "What's wrong?! What else do I want to ask you?! Say, what did you do yesterday?! The fever is so hot. If I'm late, you'll be waiting to die."
"Is it so exaggerated? I might have been frozen yesterday. I said that I would never die, and I had a deep hatred with you." I said with a smile.
Heidi glanced at me, turned to the door and shouted, "Berg Gans, you two guys come in!"
Before he finished speaking, the fat man and Gans lowered their heads and pushed open the door.
"Now Andre is awake, come on. Let's talk about what's going on? I remember I told you to take good care of him, and you will take care of him like this!" Heidi stared at Fatty and Gans, and said angrily.
Gans and the fat man looked at each other, then looked at me again, with a helpless smile on his face.
The two of them were bullied by Heidi. Every time they saw her, they would hide away. This time they called out their names. They couldn't even escape if they wanted to.
Seeing them look like grandsons, I feel happy. Their tails are almost up to the sky recently, so it’s good to treat them.
I squinted my eyes and admired how Heidi vented me.
"Sister-in-law, we don't want the boss to do this. They were all the buzzing stories yesterday." The fat man muttered.
"What kind of drama will make you like this?" Heidi chased after him.
"There's no show, it's just that the weather was too cold yesterday, and the boss was wearing less clothes, so he got cold and had a fever." Gans secretly poked the fat man and smiled at Heidi.
Heidi was so easily fooled by the two of them. She rushed over and twisted Gans' ear: "Just lie to me, do you think I'm Lenny?! Say!"
Gans was so twisted that she screamed like a pig, begging for mercy, and told me all the time that Julie and I were filming naked scenes in the cold wind.
I was crying at the side, and while Heidi was not paying attention, he picked up his clothes and tiptoed towards the back door. As soon as he arrived at the door, Heidi saw it.
"Andre, what are you doing?!"
"I, I'm anxious to pee."
"Yes! I've been acting all night, and I've had a nude scene and a cold and fever. Thank you for your hard work, right?!" Heidi's gloomy smile on her face made me furrowed.
Seeing that the situation in the room was not right, Gans and the fat man opened the door and ran away. Before leaving, they made a sorry gesture to me.
Two traitors!
Not far from the door, my screams rang up and down the aisles inside and outside the room.
"You actually made a nude scene with other women?!"
"You dare to pat it all night long?"
"You actually dare to catch a cold?!"
"You dare to let me twist your ears?"
"No, I didn't, you twisted it yourself!"
"You're still talking back!"
"Why don't I dare to talk back? Why, beating, right? I can still be afraid that you won't be able to do it! Let me tell you, just a woman like you, I can catch her and throw her away fifty meters away when I go to school!"
"You throw it away, you throw it away!"
"If you throw it away, throw it away! If a woman doesn't throw it away, a man will suffer very much!"
"ah!"
……………………
The screams in the room lasted for half an hour, and half an hour later, the room was silent. The guys who kept raising their ears to investigate the movements in the room were afraid that I would be tortured to death, so they collectively recommended that Griffith, the highest seniority and most prestigious person, go in to inquire about military information. As a result, as soon as Griffith entered the door, he was almost stroked by the scene inside.
Heidi took an apple, peeled it into small pieces and delivered it to my mouth. While delivering it, she squinted her eyes and smiled gently at me, while I pillowed on my pillow and looked up at the scenery outside.
"This piece is not delicious! And it's too big, can I swallow it?" I pointed to one of the pieces.
"Okay, okay, can't I cut you a little smaller?" Heidi limped to look for a fruit knife.
Seeing that Griffith interrupted our two-person world, he was very embarrassed. He just found the topic and said, "Boss, when will the show continue to be filmed?"
"Tomorrow. I'll shoot tomorrow." I turned my face and said
"Boss, why are your eyes blue?" Griffith pointed to my right eye as if he had discovered a new world.
I looked at Heidi and didn't say anything.
Heidi was honest enough and touched her mouth: "I accidentally touched her. Why, have any objections?"
"No, no, how could I have any objection? The bruise is so good. Miss Heidi, why is your right face purple?"
"I accidentally touched it. Why do you have any ideas?!"
"No, no, no, purple is so pure! Boss, you take good care of your health, I'm going out to do things." Griffith smiled at Heidi and quickly ran away.
This old guy turns out to be a good person!
"Open your mouth! There are still several apples!" Heidi pointed to the seven or eight apples in the basket and said.
"You won't want me to eat all these apples in one go, right?! Wouldn't that be to death!"
"Yes! Eating apples is good for the body!" Heidi nodded very purely.
"If you want to eat, I won't eat it! Go and pour some water for me."
“What are you doing?”
"What do you think you're going to pour water?! Of course I've drunk it! Can you still brush your teeth?!"
I was so angry that I was swaying on the bed. Heidi thought I was about to faint again, so she quickly poured water.
After half a day and a night of cultivation, I finally got up from the bed successfully. In fact, Heidi wanted me to rest in bed for a few more days, but I told her that a man’s work is important and he should focus on career and convince her. In fact, the real reason why I was anxious to get up is because I was afraid that I would never have the chance to get up again. Under her "careful care", even an elephant would be played to death.
322, at 8 o'clock in the morning, I walked from the room to the garden outside, surrounded by everyone. The filming of "Dracula Vampire" was carried out as usual.
The scene I filmed today was originally considered to have not many health reasons, but I later added more than a dozen scenes. Although I had a cold and a high fever, I was also a man. How could this little problem push me down?
The main content of the play was followed by a filming of a ground scene that night. Martin found that all the servants died tragically at dawn, and Lucy died naked on the bluestone. He was so sad that he believed what Van Helsing said, so he personally invited Van Helsing over and asked him what to do.
Van Helsing told Martin that Lucy is no longer Martin's fiancée, she is the captive of the vampire Dracula and a slave of his land. If she does not nail the stake into her heart and cut off her head, she will be reborn as a vampire.
Although Martin believed Van Helsing's words, he could not do it at all by asking him to cut off his beloved wife's head with a wooden stake.
So, Martin did not follow Van Helsing's advice and buried Lucy in the family's cemetery.
But a few days after the burial, many servants in the manor were killed one after another. They also had four deep earth marks on their necks.
Martin finally had to open Lucy's cemetery under Van Helsing's persuasion, and then pried open her coffin, but found that there was no one in the coffin. So everyone hid in the cemetery and waited for Lucy to return. At night, Lucy came back with a newborn baby. She was covered in white and had become a vampire.
Van Hessing led Martin and others to engage in a fierce battle with Lucy, and finally pushed her down in the coffin and cut off her head with a sharp sword, nailing the wooden stake into her heart. Lucy really slept underground from then on.
The entire shooting was very tense, and many of the shots inside required some special stunts to complete. These special stunts were completely pediatric things in later generations, but for people in this era, it was not that easy.
To give a very simple example, it would be very laborious to cut off Lucy's head with a sharp sword. It would be perfect if everyone used "stop shooting again" at this time, and the audience's current viewing level would definitely not say anything, but in my opinion, this is too fake and very fake. In order to let the audience see the vivid and bloody scene, I adopted the method of combining "stop shooting again" and "stand-alone". When Julie was pushed down by Van Helsing, he quickly retracted his neck, and the prop set quickly changed to an artificial neck prepared in advance. In this way, Fan Helsing's sword came down and blood was overflowing. This effect is absolutely true and can't be more visually impactful than the old techniques used to shoot with puppets and blood bags.
From the morning to nine o'clock in the evening, the crew worked eleven hours before they finished shooting all the planned shots.
I looked at the shooting progress book and we have already shot four-fifths of the entire movie. The remaining one-fifth is not only the climax of the entire movie, but also the key to directly determine whether the movie can finally win the audience's love.
In other words, we have been busy for so long and experienced so many ups and downs, and only after we got here did we truly face the biggest challenge.
On the 23rd, everyone in the crew had a serious face, and most of them even spoke because they knew that from the days starting today, the crew would film the most important climax scene, and no mistakes were allowed during this period.
After following me for so long, everyone here understands my temper. Although I am always amiable in life, if you make a mistake on the set, no matter whether you are an ordinary actor, an associate director or a first photographer, I will curse in front of the entire crew.
They knew that the more the highlight came, the worse the boss and director’s temper would be.
At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, I sat in the manor wearing a coat, and the surroundings were busy. Since I woke up in the morning, I had a low fever. Although it was not very serious, I always felt chills and a little dizzy. Heidi was very worried about me, so she called a doctor from the Los Angeles Hospital, gave me a few injections, and after a little breakfast, I finally recovered a little.
