“Ten, nine, eight,…”

There was a silence on the plain, everyone performed their own duties and moved according to the preparations I arranged in advance.

"Three, two, one, start shooting!" I shouted, and the teams on both sides rushed together. The gasoline barrels buried in advance on the ground were quickly ignited, and black smoke suddenly emerged. The plain suddenly entered a turbulent era of war.

Under the attack of the Southern Army, the disadvantages of the Northern Army gradually emerged and they could not support each other and were about to retreat.

"Pair No. 1, prepare to shoot!"

With my order, on the opposite hillside, George led his army to rush towards the Southern Army from the flank. The balance of war suddenly turned to the northern army, which was originally defeated, and no one took the lead. The team behind him followed closely. The Northern Army was defeated and fled one after another.

The entire shooting time was less than half an hour before the work was finished.

I gathered everyone together to check the quality of work. James and others were amazed at the behavior of using four cameras for a scene. You should know that in Hollywood now, 90% of the shooting is only one, and only a very small number of directors will use two. The four cameras I took at the same time not only can show all aspects of the war in all aspects, deeply portray the characters and the situation of the war at that time, but more importantly, I have very little money on hand, and I will definitely not afford such a scene three or four times. Four cameras in a war are better than shooting four wars. Why should I not do such a job?

Among the four cameras, except for the one arranged in the Southern Army, there was a small problem, the other three were all good shots, especially Berg, who took a long shot that lasted nearly 55 minutes according to the plot of the storyboard I drew in advance. Such a long shot may not be a big deal in the twenty-one world, but in the eyes of Hollywood, where the average length of the lens was only a few seconds, it would definitely be a deep impression on people!

Anyway, the shooting is going well.

Next, I took the shots from both sides in the military camps. Howard, Tim and Valente performed in their true colors. James' acting skills have already been perfect, so I was very satisfied. I basically passed it once. By the time all the shots were shot, I was not yet on 12 o'clock.

"Boss! I'm convinced you! I've been in Hollywood for so long and have never seen such a wonderful and quick director!" James gave me a thumbs up with a dusty face.

After this scene, my calm on-site command, scene scheduling ability, grasp of the camera and discovery of the actors completely conquered everyone, including James, and established the most director's authority.

After hearing James' praise, I just smiled. If these were placed in the twenty-first world, ordinary second-rate directors could shoot them.

"Berg, what shots are you going to take in the afternoon?" I was still unsatisfied and turned to Berg.

The fat man flipped through the storyboard script in his hand and said with a smile: "I want to film the theater where I don't meet Dietley, and there are also the bed scenes where two people go home tonight."

I nodded and said to Gans: "Get off work, call Grant and tell him we will go to the city theater to shoot in the afternoon."

Gans promised to take people to sort out the venue, and then he would lead the extras to the theater, where these "soldiers" would become upper-class gentlemen who enjoyed the play.

When I returned to the company, I took off my coat and lay down on the sofa and closed my eyes to rest. The first time I was a director, I filmed such a big scene, but it made me a little excited. Even if I closed my eyes, I had a series of decomposed shots in my mind.

"Boss, can I come in?" A gentle voice floated in.

I sat up from the sofa and found that Julie was standing in front of me.

"What's the matter?"

Julie held the script and said carefully: "That's right, I'm a little worried about the afternoon and evening dramas."

I picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and turned around and asked, "Why?"

"I think I may not be able to take a good shot." Julie looked worried.

I pointed to the sofa in front of me and asked her to sit down, and smiled and said, "Julie, filming is actually very simple. The key is to substitute it. When I shouted that filming, you would think of yourself as Dietley. To be honest, the afternoon drama is not very difficult, but the evening drama is a challenge for you. You have to relax, and I have everything." I kept cheering her up, Xiaotao's face gradually improved, and then got up and said goodbye to me and recite the script.

I lay down again, and not long after, the phone next to me rang.

It was Grant. The old guy told our city government that the theater had been arranged with his efforts. Gans had already arrived there. The afternoon drama could start filming normally, but there was a problem.

I asked him what the question was, and he said those people on the film committee wanted to watch it on site.

My God! I just started filming and I was going to watch it. Although I was not afraid of them watching, Julie had no experience in performing. These guys stood in a dark place next to her, which would definitely increase her pressure.

Of course, what I am more worried about is the evening bed scene. Although the scenes that appear in the movie do not show any points, Julie will definitely take off her clothes during the filming. If these people who are full and have nothing to do when they are full, Julie will definitely not be able to shoot well, and secondly, I, as a director, don’t want my actors to be taken advantage of by these guys in vain, so I suggested to Grant that it is OK to observe, but only in the afternoon, and the evening scene may not be possible.

Grant said it was understandable that he would bring people to show up on time and promised that it would not affect our filming.

After putting down the phone, I let out a long sigh and took it to the door for dinner.

The lunch was made by Julie himself. It was very simple, but it tasted good and was much better than the fat man.

After the meal, the group rushed to the theater. When they arrived, Gans had already arranged everything and was waiting for us to turn on the computer.

"Grant said he brought people at two o'clock. Should we wait until he comes before starting?" the fat man asked.

I shook my head: "Let's take pictures of us, don't care about them."

The main content of this scene is that it is not too much to watch the show in the theater. Dietli is waiting for an opportunity to approach. The Southern Army specially sent someone to assassinate Wuxia. After being rescued by Dietli, they had a good impression of this beautiful woman. The two went outside the theater to have supper together, and then returned to their room in the heavy rain to spend the night together.

After all the staff were in place, I ordered filming on the chair behind the monitor. The theater suddenly became quiet and could only hear the singing on the stage. Julie performed very well, without any stage fright. Such a scene was a piece of cake for James, the actor. After about an hour, all the shots in the theater were done.

"Boss, I'm going to shoot a meal scene next. Should I wait until the film committee's people come?" The fat man ran over and asked me again.

"There are 13 shots in total. We will take pictures first. It will be two o'clock soon. When we start filming, they may arrive." I told everyone to clean up the machine and then took the lead in walking out of the theater.
Chapter completed!
