Movie Master

Chapter 26: Form a team

Albert was educated in the formal film system, which can be described as "academic". However, when he was in school, he was not very interested in the positions of director, screenwriter, and actor. On the contrary, he showed excellent communication and coordination skills. Even among young, passionate and stubborn college students, he can always find The solution is to let the shooting complete smoothly.

At the beginning, Albert played more of a role as a producer in group shooting projects; but as his studies progressed, he soon discovered that his real talent was in acting, not being a producer. His lack of ability to control the overall situation and his sensitivity to details make him have the possibility of becoming a top drama manager. Therefore, Albert has always called himself a "handyman", a "handyman" that has nothing to do with important work such as creation and management.

Although in the eyes of laymen, drama management has always been considered a dispensable role, and no one can appreciate the importance of drama management work; but real professionals know how rare it is to have an excellent drama management.

"Screenwork?" Albert's eyes widened, and the youthfulness and innocence on that doll's face disappeared, replaced by the sophistication and calmness of years of experience in society.

Lance is not sure whether Albert's attitude is excitement or repulsion. Time flies and time flies, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Lance is not sure whether Albert is still interested in the position of theater manager after being baptized by society. , but Lance did not express this uncertainty, but simply nodded his head and gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, drama manager." Then he said, "I hope this job is better than 'Firefly' ' position is more attractive..."

Before Lance finished speaking, Albert waved his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth in self-deprecating, "I was fired yesterday." This answer was beyond Lance's expectations, and Albert looked back Looking at the studio behind her, she seemed a little unwilling, "I'm just an assistant, responsible for the supply of food. Yesterday, an actor said that she was a vegetarian, and there were eggs in the meal, so I Fired on the spot. For God's sake, she ate a beef burger the night before!"

Albert's words were very simple, but they revealed countless information. Lance was racking his brains when he considered the right candidate for the show, and had a lot of headaches. When Albert's name popped into his head, Lance took it for granted that Albert had grown into a senior play director in his own right after so many years of graduating from university. , But now it seems that there is always a considerable gap between ideal and reality.

"Their loss is my gain." Lance's short words made Albert stand still. Although Lance did not comfort him, nor did he curse with the enemy, but Albert was inexplicably Feel relaxed.

"However, this job is not easy." Lance said immediately, Albert took a deep breath, and assumed a posture of listening carefully, "We need to shoot in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, not only will we encounter obstacles from the government, And there will be many emergencies beyond expectations." Albert couldn't help but leaned slightly towards the middle of his brows, "And..." Lance's words suddenly stopped, Albert raised his eyes and concentrated on He looked into those blue eyes.

"I plan to find all the actors locally, and there will be more than one hundred extras."

As soon as Lance said this, Albert's swear words came out directly, "Crap!" Seeing Albert's distraught expression, Lance stood where he was and pretended he didn't see anything. For the crew, managing such a large crew, all of which are non-professional actors, most of whom come from slums, is an unimaginably difficult task.

Albert put his hands on his hips, turned a few times on the spot, and then looked at Lance with a scrutinized face. The face was clearly written with entanglement and struggle, but it revealed a touch of unwillingness and reluctance to admit defeat rolling in his eyes.

Lance met Albert's gaze calmly in this way. After a while, a gentlemanly friendly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So, do you want to join?"

"Damn it! I'll join!" Albert waved his fist fiercely, then turned around and yelled in the direction of the studio, "Grass / your / mother / vegetarianism!" After finishing speaking, He turned around and laughed at Lance, and then he took a step forward, striding forward, but after walking a few steps, he found that Lance hadn't followed, and he shouted happily, "Hurry up, follow me!" Come on, are you going to work here?"

Lance looked back at the studio, and found that many people from the "Firefly" crew had come out, standing at the door of the studio and talking in low voices in surprise. Lance raised two middle fingers at the group of people, maintained this posture and took a few steps back, then turned around and trotted up, catching up with Albert.

The two trotted all the way, and the security guards at the door came out. They looked at the provocative actions of the two with astonishment, but stood there at a loss, watching the two trot away. Lance even He also saluted the security guard, and the bright smile on his face was instantly frozen under the golden sunlight. The security guards hurriedly raised their right hands to salute, but the two of them had already walked away.

Such a scene reminded Lance of his college days.

"Stop, stop." Lance looked at Albert, who was out of breath, and couldn't help laughing, "We can't leave yet."

Albert gasped heavily, but found that Lance's breath was steady, not even a drop of sweat, which made him wave his hand depressingly, leaning against the wall next to him, and rested, "No leave, why?"

"We need to go to the 'Apocalypse**' crew, and I have an old friend who needs to visit." Lance looked at the exhausted Albert, shook his head speechlessly, and patted Albert on the shoulder vigorously. "With your physical strength, you probably won't be able to win a race against an eight-year-old child."

"Hey! Eight-year-olds run very fast, okay?" Albert dragged his weary pace to keep up with Lance, "Who are you going to find? Do I know him? Also an old friend from the past?"

"Hayden-Hunter." Lance said the name without any extra nonsense.

A look of surprise appeared on Albert's face, "Do you know Hayden Hunter? The crew of 'Firefly' invited him to come over as a photographer, but he was rejected. He said he had already signed a contract with the crew of 'The Last Days'. We producers are still worried about it."

"I know he has had several good independent works in the past two years, but I didn't know he was so popular." Lance was really surprised. "City of God" needed a cinematographer, professional and good, otherwise the quality of the film would drop at least a notch. Hayden is Lance's undisputed first choice.

Hayden is Lance's middle school classmate. The two have known each other for nearly twenty years. It can be said that they are absolute old friends. Hayden did not study after graduating from high school. Although he has always been interested in photography and photography, he did not enter the university system to study, and only audited at the University of Southern California for a semester.

But Hayden is very talented, relying on his own ability and talent to break through the sky. He was the second photographer in Paul-Thomas-Anderson's stunning "Magnolia" in the United States. , and has been working hard in the independent film industry since then. The most recent work as a photographer is "The Believer", which won the Sundance Film Awards last year.

There is still a huge gap between the independent film industry and the mainstream film industry, especially the cinematographer of independent films—many independent film directors have multiple roles, and the role of the cinematographer has not received enough attention. Therefore, Lance thought that Hayden was still working hard.

The reality is just the opposite. Albert, who he thought was successful, is still struggling in his career, while Hayden, who he thinks has yet to develop his career, has won a place.

Albert smiled and shook his head, denying Lance's statement, "It's only limited to the TV drama circle. You also know that independent films don't make money. If photographers want to make a breakthrough, they still need a platform to show themselves , TV series can only be regarded as a springboard." Albert shrugged, "Of course, salary is also an important factor."

"At least he has a job." Lance's complaints made Albert's breath stuck in his throat, but Lance ignored him at all and walked straight ahead, which made Albert Burt was even more aggrieved, and quickly chased after him, "Hey, young man, can we continue to be friends?"

From a distance, you can see the noise at the entrance of the crew of "The End of the World". The bustling scene of people coming and going seems to be busy, as if it is not ready to start filming. Looking at the entrance, Lance found that at least half of the crew members were standing outside the studio, gathering together in twos and threes, and trucks were coming in and out, making the spacious space crowded. stand up.

While not sure what happened, Lance knew it didn't seem like the right time. Standing on the spot and thinking for a while, Lance looked around, and then saw a long-haired girl in a black vest standing in frustration on the open space in front of her left, her hands crossed on her chest revealing It showed her anxiety and nervousness, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful figure. The tight black fabric perfectly outlined the mysterious and **** temperament.

Lance walked over, but before he could get close, the other party noticed the shadow cast by the sun and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, James, I don't want to talk now."

Albert looked at Lance in embarrassment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and then started to back away. However, Lance did not retreat, he just stopped, and then said in a brisk tone, "It seems that I chose the wrong time." This sentence made the other party suddenly raise his head, and the exquisite picture The yet beautiful/flashy face came into view, and I was instantly amazed.
