"Raccoon Wars!"

"Act I."

β€œactionοΌβ€œ

The three little ones were rummaging through the trash cans, and one of them had its little butt exposed, when suddenly the trash can fell and made a snapping sound, which frightened the other two raccoons.

From here, the film officially begins.

As soon as he took a few shots, Jiang Hao shouted the card, and the others looked at each other, Jiang Hao said to the photographer:

"The camera zooms in, I want to close-up, I want to highlight the close-up shots of the characters, so that when the audience watches the movie, they don't have to bother to observe the details of the characters, they just have to enjoy it."

"Good director." Said the photographer.

Filming resumed, this time with enough close-ups of a few little guys.

Monroe was watching Jiang Hao filming from the side, since a few days ago, she has officially entered the role of an actor, carefully speculating on the content of the script, hoping not to have too many opportunities.

Under Jiang Hao's training, the three little raccoons performed very well, which surprised those staff very much, they have never seen such a spiritual animal actor, you know, in the past, animal scenes were the most difficult to shoot, and they often had to be stared at and cut out from a large number of shots before they could be used.

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.

"Alright, this scene is over, shoot the second act." Jiang Hao looked at it from beginning to end and said with satisfaction.

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

A day passed, the crew filmed three times, and the plan was successfully completed, Jiang Hao did not urge, the first day has not been run-in, there is no need to rush to work, and it is announced that it will continue tomorrow.

Movies pay attention to precision manufacturing, slow work and meticulous work, but Jiang Hao knows that in the future, Hong Kong will make movies that are notoriously fast, shooting a movie in two or three weeks abounds, and big productions can be shot in two or three months.

Now this "Raccoon Wars" is a comedy, you don't need to be so carefully carved, as long as you shoot that joyful atmosphere, it will be a victory, Jiang Hao has the insight of later generations, and has his own uniqueness in the use of some shots, I believe it will definitely attract the audience.

When the crew disbanded, Jiang Hao called the staff of the acting department and ordered: "Help me find a female supporting role." ”

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

"I've already got someone to choose and find a girl named Deborah, who should be in Hollywood right now, go to the union to find her contact information, call her directly, and ask her if she'd like to play a supporting role." Jiang Hao said.

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

In this play, there are a few supporting actors with some scenes, and there are not too many supporting actresses, but it doesn't matter, Jiang Hao is the director, isn't it over if you add one.

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

"Ringing ringing!"

The phone in Deborah's apartment rang suddenly, but no one answered, and the phone rang many times 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, her mood was a little low, it had been half a year since she came to Los Angeles, and she had not found a real opportunity except to be a dispensable extra.

When she came to Los Angeles, she was full of confidence, thinking that she could quickly be favored by those directors with her beauty and dance, and then become a star, a big star, and finally a Hollywood queen.

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

Later generations reported that in those film and television cities, there were countless beauties, they used to be the so-called school flowers, courtyard flowers, and department flowers, but here, they are nothing, they want to find an opportunity to leave the country, and even need to eat, drink and sleep together.

"Ringing ringing!"

The phone in the room rang again, Deborah heard it, her heart moved, could it be that there was a director looking for herself, she quickly twisted the key, anxiously opened the door, rushed to the telephone in three or two steps and grabbed it, then took a deep breath and said in a calm and sweet tone, "I'm Deborah, who is it?" ”

"Miss Deborah, I'm the landlord, and I'm paying the rent for the next quarter." The landlord's voice came over the phone.

Deborah's smile fell, and she said with a sad look on her face, "Mr. Herbert, please give me some more grace, I haven't gotten my salary this month yet." ”

"This is the third time."

"I'm sorry."

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

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Herbert."

Deborah put down the phone, sat on the sofa, and exhaled deeply, she originally thought that Hollywood was a paradise for actors, but after she came, she realized that this is the most cruel place, and there are very few actors who can really fight to become famous, and most of them will be unknown and end up in disgrace.

Do you still have to stick to it?

But how to solve the rent.

Deborah was in distress.

"Jingle bell!"

At this time, the phone rang again, and Deborah was frightened, it couldn't be the landlord again, but she couldn't help but answer, so she had to pick it up.

"Excuse me, is it Miss Deborah?" The voice of a strange man came over the phone.

"It's me, you're it?"

"Hello, I'm a staff member of the acting department of Hall Films." The other party reported his home.

Hall Studios?

Deborah didn't think of the name, but it didn't matter, there were so many studios that she couldn't know every single one.

It was a call from the film company, could it be that she was looking for herself to film, Deborah's mood suddenly became excited.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Deborah asked, expectantly.

"We're working on a movie and need an actress with lines, do you have time to audition?" Said the staff.

Deborah's heart pounded, "Yes, I have time, now, ah, it's a little late, tomorrow, I'll be there tomorrow." ”

The staff member opposite 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 taken aback, "New York, Hall Films, in New York?" ”

"Yes, New York, is there any problem, aren't you going to come?" The staff asked.

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

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

"Okay, I'll get to New York as soon as possible." Deborah said with certainty.

Putting down the phone, Deborah collapsed on the sofa, dancing excitedly, finally a director took a fancy to her, and she could shoot a role with lines, which made her extremely excited.

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

Jiang Hao finally saw Deborah, looking at the beautiful beauty in front of him, Jiang Hao sighed in his heart, Deborah was so beautiful when she was a child, but when she grew up, she lost her former spirituality.

"Director, how do I need to audition?" Deborah was stunned when she saw the director looking at her, but she was not the kind of squint, and even shook her head slightly, which made her heart rise immediately.

"I'll see if you perform a dance."

Deborah once learned to dance professionally, which is what she is good at, and her heart was slightly relieved, and she stood on tiptoe and danced for a while.

After the dance, Deborah looked at Jiang Hao and waited for the director's verdict.

"Yes, stay." Jiang Hao said softly.

Hearing the director say to stay, Deborah's heart seemed to fly all of a sudden, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, "Thank you director, I will definitely be attentive." ”

"Assistant director, give her her 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, but in Deborah's opinion, it weighed a thousand pounds, this was her first time playing a role with a plot of lines.

For convenience, the crew has a rented hotel, and Deborah also has a room of her own, and after putting down her luggage, she can't wait to open the script and look at it.

Her role is a person who learns acting, and the heroine is in the same class, and she is also a friend of the heroine, during class, the two people interact, and when the heroine was told by the teacher that she had no acting skills and could not become a good actor, she once encouraged her with kind words, and she was a role in the good camp.

This role has no highlights, and there is no conflict, it belongs to the kind of pure supporting role around the protagonist, but for Deborah, she is already very satisfied, and this performance, in addition to being able to eat and live in the crew, she can also get a remuneration of 1000 US dollars, which is not a small amount of money, and generally those real supporting roles are also paid this salary.

The filming of the movie is progressing steadily, and the scene of the little raccoon making trouble is finished, and the next thing is that Monroe enters the scene, filming the scene when Monroe returns home and sees the house being messed up by a few troublemakers.

This is Monroe's first scene, and Monroe looks very nervous.

"Cards!"

"Cards!"

"Cards!"

Just a surprised expression when she entered the door, Jiang Hao shouted the card a few times, but the more this happened, the more nervous Monroe became, and in the end, after she opened the door, her facial expression was very stiff.

"Okay, let's take a 10-minute break."

The others rested, Monroe walked to Jiang Hao's side with his head down, Jiang Hao said with a smile: "The first time a newcomer is filming, the biggest enemy is nervousness, this is what I told you before, and do you remember the first lesson I taught you?" ”

"Liberate nature." Monroe said.

"Yes, liberate your nature, don't think about anything else, what can I shoot well, how can I do it, you just walk in naturally, and then see that the house is in a mess, and naturally surprised, it's enough."

"Think about what you looked like when you first saw the three brothers, this scene is all there, Monroe, this character is completely created for you, she is you, so you just have to play yourself."

Jiang Hao is definitely the most intimate director, no way, who told him to sleep with someone every day, everything depends on her serving so hard.

"I see, Jon." Monroe felt her faith return.

After Jiang Hao's education, this time Monroe finally found her senses, from entering the door, to being surprised, to hearing movement in the bathroom, walking over to check, being startled by three little raccoons, and then falling to the ground all of a sudden when she went backwards.

The whole scene was all performed, 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 can just follow the right path.

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

Horizontal comparison, compared with other actresses, in addition to her good-looking face, her acting skills are at most at the third-rate level, and such a simple life scene has to be directed and taught.

And these three little raccoons are definitely at the level of demons compared to other animal actors, and some people even think that even if they are compared with Monroe, they are better than her, you look at the surprised little eyes, the fluent movements of the escape, and the image of the frightened and fleeing animal is vividly expressed.

Filming is still going on, there is no Deborah scene for the time being, this day Deborah suddenly wanted to go back to her home to see, took a taxi to the original place of residence, stood outside the door and looked at her former home, the door was closed, and now it has long been a person.

She spent her childhood here, with good and bad feelings, and in her mind, many faces turned, and finally, a slightly emaciated face froze in her mind, but then she shook her head.

She hated him, and even though it had been half a year, she still hated her a little.

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

"Deborah, Deborah"

Noodle muttered the name.

This is the woman he loves dearly, and it has never changed since he was a teenager, the moment he secretly saw her dancing figure through the crack in the wall.

She went to Hollywood, and he suspected that he would never see her again, but now that she is back, he knows that now Deborah is in a crew and has a small role, which must have been arranged by his mysterious boss, otherwise he would not have brought her from Hollywood for no reason.

"Jayden, let's go."

Noodles said.

Noodle looked at his boss in the rearview mirror, "Okay." ”

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

She's in New York now, and she can still see her, which is very satisfying for noodles.

The filming process continues,

From the beginning of the youth, slowly Monroe also found the feeling of acting, in fact, this role was tailor-made for her, after entering the state, Monroe felt more and more comfortable, so the progress of this play is moving forward at a high speed.

The scene of the gangster's attack is the essence of this drama, and in this paragraph, Jiang Hao and his filming team took a week to finish filming, and finally got the most satisfactory results.

Later, some external clips were filmed, such as the part where Monroe took acting class, Deborah appeared, I have to say, Deborah's performance is absolutely above the level, seeing Deborah's performance, Jiang Hao has a thought.

This part was filmed quickly, Jiang Hao asked Deborah to call over, Deborah was still a little nervous when she saw Jiang Hao, and smiled at the director, "Director, what are you looking for me?" ”

In fact, she is ready to be directed by the unspoken rules, this is a stage that every actress must go through, and she is psychologically prepared.

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

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

"Okay, I do." Deborah said quickly.

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

Time passed day by day, and the filming was also 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 session is finished." ”

"Wow~~" The crew members immediately cheered.

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

"Thank you, Director." The crowd cheered even louder.

You must know that those film companies are very realistic, these actors and staff get salaries, they are not willing to organize any celebration parties, and they have to come up with an extra amount of money invisibly, Jiang Hao is ready to party, and the actors and crew are naturally happy.

The party at night was very lively, everyone came to drink with Jiang Hao, hoping that there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future, Jiang Hao nodded, this time it was easy to use, the actors and staff with good skills, he had already written it down, and he could call it directly next time he filmed, so that he could save a lot of running-in and familiarity.

When she got home at night, Monroe knocked Jiang Hao down, pulled his shirt out, reached out to untie his belt, looked at Jiang Hao with silky eyes and said, "Jon, I want you to love me, the ruthless kind." ”

The firecracker lit the fuse, followed by a continuous crackling sound, dense and cheerful, and for a long time, what seemed to be the kind of ten thousand rings.

Following

After the film was washed, Jiang Hao devoted himself to the post-editing work, he first made a first draft, and then handed it over to the real editor to put scissors, not that Jiang Hao was not professional enough, but this work, try not to do it yourself, the biggest problem with the director's editing is that he is reluctant to put down the scissors.

Out of sight is clear, Jiang Hao began to make the soundtrack.

In the previous world, he was also a professional musician, and many classic soundtracks in later generations have not yet appeared, so they can be moved and used.

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