Chapter forty-two
The bright sunshine is no longer full of warmth, and the air in the morning and evening is full of cold breath. Since December, the film capital of Mumbai, India, has come to the season when the average temperature is lower in the year, and the crew The filming work still does not stop for this.
As more scenes were filmed, the film finally came to its final finishing touches.
Lehmann woke up earlier than usual today, getting up from his comfortable bed and getting dressed at 6 o'clock.
Pedestrians in twos and threes passed by on the street outside the window, and there were still a lot of hard-working people at this point in time.
After washing up, head to the studio.
There are still 3 shots left on the shooting report. If you say too much, it is not too much, and if you say less, it is not too little. As long as everything goes smoothly, it will not be too difficult to complete it in half a day.
Sitting in the seat, while the staff was still arranging the shooting scene, Lehmann took the split shot and thought about it carefully. What else needs to be fine-tuned in advance, and then think about the lighting, photography techniques, camera settings.... ..
It is naturally the best to know these details.
The movement of the actors, the expression of each gesture and emotion should also have a general impression.
It was not until 7:30, after the actors were all dressed up, that the final closing scene was officially started.
In the artificial light rain scene, the No. 1 camera was set up on the top corner of the garden, using a wide-angle lens to capture the sunny picture after the light rain. He liked the idea of this shot very much, which symbolized that there was a gap in the Dean's firm heart. After the rain, the sky is sunny, a good meaning, isn't it?
Camera number two on the boom lowers the angle of the shot, 15 degrees down to the right, well, that's it.
Looking at the actors who were prepared—actually, the two-player between Dean and Lancher, Lehman finally reminded, After the artificial watering is stopped, Unit 1 will immediately capture a close-up of the scene in a 360-degree circle.
At the end of the tragedy, is the villain somewhat remorseful in the series of things that the protagonist Lancher did, is it cliché? Very cliché, but this is the only shining point in this educational dialogue, and it is also the hope that rises in the gloom, which can soothe the hearts of the audience who have been hurt after watching the whole show.
For the sake of the market, a step of compromise will not affect anything. In the end, it is enough that this movie can bring some educational thinking to the audience.
After Lehman called the start, Boman Irani and Aamir Khan began their final conversation.
Why astronauts don't use pencils in space, I'll tell you that now.
Because if a pencil breaks, it can run into the eyes, nose or instrument in zero gravity.
Boman Irani said excitedly: You're always like this, Rancher, you're not always right, and everyone else is wrong.
After all, he hung the space pen that symbolized honor on Lancher's collar and left alone...
Pass!
After this shot also ended, Lehman shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: I announce that all the shooting of Three Silly Bollywood has been completed.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and after 58 days of high-intensity filming, the film finally passed one-third of its journey.
The applause broke out, messy and fiery, and it was not only the director Ryman who was tested and tormented, but also other people in the crew who struggled together.
In the cheers, Thomas gently lowered the second camera he was holding; George was still replaying the footage just shot; Ryan, the production manager, was laughing with the staff at the side; the actors walked towards the dressing room, While walking, I took off the costumes at random. It was just soaked in artificial rain, and it was uncomfortable to be wet; the lighting engineer and his team were turning off the lights, dismantling the lights, dismantling the lighting boards, and the spotlighting boards, and from time to time they laughed and chatted a few words.. ....
Lyman looked at the chaotic and orderly scene on the set,
I sighed in my heart: My second work is just finished.
It is now December 23. From the beginning of October, it took more than 2 months for the film to invest, prepare, and complete the shooting.
During this period of time, he gained a lot of valuable experience, from all sides, there are some.
For example, the choice and control of the camera lens; for example, the actor's mood and the adjustment of the shooting plan; and the budget and funds, George can always talk about these, so that he has a new experience on how to save the cost of the crew .
In terms of how to be a good director, he is more mature and more experienced in the industry.
Everyone be quiet first and listen to me. Ryman picked up the loudspeaker again and shouted loudly, and when everyone's eyes were cast, he continued: Pack up the studio, and then we will meet at the Mumbai Hotel. , everyone in the crew has a share, and can bring at most one friend or family member.
When the Buried Alive crew was finished, Laiman didn't hold anything, and didn't even mention a red envelope for salary. It looked very cold. Isn't it because the crew's funds were too tight, but now it's different from the past. , it can't be so lacking in atmosphere.
The Three Silly crew was invested by Europa Films, the gold owner. The filming capital was 6 million, and there were still about 700,000 euros left on the book. As for the post-production work, they also provided special post-production studios, so there is no need to worry.
So, it is very necessary to have a killing feast, which can not only promote the feelings of the crew and facilitate future cooperation, but also reduce stress and relieve depression.
After all, a large group of people followed him to India, a country where living conditions were not very good, and worked together for two months. They ate mush every day. The water, soil, landscape and culture were completely different from their original circle. Temper people will inevitably have some complaints in their hearts.
When I heard that the celebration banquet was held at the Mumbai Grand Hotel, and I could bring family members or friends to eat and drink, I suddenly became more energetic on the set, and the movements under my hands became more swift. I used my mobile phone to call my family members. Of course, most of this group were local Indian crew members who assisted in the filming. The filming team brought over from France has nothing to worry about here, at most some female sex workers. It was also what Lehmann heard from George. Some people in the film crew were suffocated and found some local occupations.
In line with the principle of considering people, Lehman simply allows friends or family members to eat.
......
In the Mumbai Grand Hotel, Lehman directly contracted two medium-sized banquet halls and set up a buffet.
The cuisine is mainly local Indian specialties and French dishes, as well as the indispensable seafood in the buffet.
Lehman went to the core, and after taking the meal, he gathered around a table to drink and brag. The scene was very lively.
Director, come, have a drink, I hope the movie will be a big hit at the box office.
Lyman, I'll accompany you to drink one too. I hope your future career as a director will be smoother and smoother.
all together.
...
For those local Indian staff, this is just a short-term job. After drinking the party wine and eating the final banquet, there is no longer anything to do with Laiman, and no one will be immersed in any no In the mood of She, so they also had a drink with Lyman and stopped hanging around.
When they received the completion money, it was Lao Yan and Fei Fei, and they looked very open.
On the other hand, the French crew members were more enthusiastic, and almost had to drink the same cup with Lehmann alone. They will understand better that it will be beneficial for them to have a good relationship with a director, who is also invested by Europa Films. Director...drink...
So after a while, Lehman was gorgeously drunk.
All the staff of the crew are the big men who seek life at the bottom, and they are so bold when they drink. Originally, Laiman's drinking capacity has also been tested. After all, the wine bureau in the previous life is a common occurrence. It can be regarded as a good drink. Well, I'm sorry, I can't favor one over the other, just drink with Ryan, Thomas, George, Dijon Kumar and others. Isn't that wearing tinted glasses and dividing people into three, six, nine, and so on?
The consequence of not rejecting anyone like this is that he was the first to fall on the fierce battlefield.
Until the sky was dark, the killing banquet ended successfully after everyone drank and eaten with satisfaction. Ryman finally had a chance to go back to the hotel. He sat in the taxi with a flushed face and followed Ryan and Thomas back.
He has been supported by the two to the soft big bed, and he has a clear consciousness.
After struggling to get up and taking a sip of water, he finally suppressed the rush in his stomach.
He has never indulged himself like this before, and it is conceivable that he may not sleep well tonight.
I haven't vomited until now, but I have always felt that way, and the taste is not so bearable.
Looking at the night view outside the window, the moon hangs high in the sky, but there are no stars.
The bustling lights reflect everything under the city, and the traffic on the street has not stopped.
It's over, and the filming of Three Silly Bollywood has been completely completed.
It's just that, unlike most of the crew members who have finished their work and can take a break, the post-production work of the film will soon find Lyman.
He's still busy.
The churning in the stomach continued, and the brain that was constantly entangled with drunkenness and sobriety was not feeling well.
Finally, when it was time to drink water and couldn't stand it, Lyman ran to the bathroom and vomited.
If you vomit, it will be much better.
After washing his face and stimulating his brain, he lay back on the bed.
After finishing the filming work and returning to France, we will welcome a new post-production team of working partners.
After finishing the later stage, his second film will be released.
How good, such a life, he is very satisfied.
Being able to continuously shoot the films that you want to shoot, and endow yourself with your own thinking and ideas, is a constant achievement for the director.
I hope I will be better in the future, come on, Lehmann!
