Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 19 Full Firepower
  Two days later, the MV shooting began. Everyone, including Badman, gathered on the set to watch the filming progress.

Tang De held the director's position, while Jimmy was the cinematographer.

Jimmy has experienced the training of many crews, plus he has studied on his own, and he is quite familiar with the basic shooting skills of the camera.

And this was enough. He only had to listen to Tang De for difficult filming.

At this time, the originally luxurious model room had a brand new look. Broken luxury lamps purchased from the second-hand market were hung on the ceiling. A long table ran across the center of the living room, and many second-hand paintings were placed on the walls.

However, the blue outside the floor-to-ceiling glass resembles the sky after rain, and the small amount of light sources makes the entire environment extremely dark, so the true state of those second-hand items cannot be seen in the lens.

"Okay, are everyone ready?"

Tang De picked up the microphone. This was his first time as a director. Although this was as instinctive as breathing for him, the first time in his new life is still worth remembering.

"Camera ready."

"The lighting crew is ready."

"The props team is ready."

"Uh...I...I'm ready." Raymond still looked like the one on the album cover, wearing a black leather jacket and a cross necklace.

He looked at the people present and felt inexplicably nervous.

Mainly to Tang De, because after experiencing the cover shoot, he knew how harsh and tough Tang De was.

But Tang De ignored what he was thinking and shouted directly into the microphone: "Then let's start."

The scene manager immediately made a decision in front of the camera, and the first shot started shooting immediately.

But half an hour later...

"Move your butt! Don't dance! Are you imitating Donald Duck! I can't afford Disney's royalties! Raymond!"

"Jimmy! Lower your tail! You need to look up for this shot! Look up! Are you filming the Kingdom of Little People!"

"Props team! Are you eating shit! I said it three times! Don't let that shelf appear there! Now it's the fourth time, get out of here if this kind of problem happens again!"

"FXXK! Jimmy, why are you holding the camera so close? Are you filming a close-up of an adult movie? Zoom out!"

"Expression! Raymond, don't be like a wretched uncle! You now have money, horses, and banknotes! You have to stand up!"

"What are the props team doing! Why is the crystal lantern here missing? You think it's not needed? Did your fucking brain break from the plane last night! FXXKYOU!"

"Tom, take that guy away from me! The old man is crying! Pay him to disappear from my sight forever."

"Badman, neither can you! This matter is non-negotiable. This prop must be repurchased! I do not allow flaws in the work!"

Tang De's voice was always lingering in the model room, scolding everyone as if they were walking on thin ice, fearful and afraid to make the slightest mistake. Even other crew members were attracted to watch for a while.

Everyone was extremely frightened. Tang De's posture was like that of a devouring devil. His eyes and body posture were extremely aggressive. Even if anyone wanted to refute, they would be defeated by his eyes.

And even if someone came forward to argue, they would be stopped first by the crew-cut Tom. His hands were frighteningly strong, and the tight muscles exposed after taking off his clothes were as good as a star.

But the most important thing is that every word Tang De said is absolutely correct. He even told the crew all the details more than once before filming started. But these guys are used to being unorganized, and Tang De is not famous either. Naturally, things got messed up.

Finally, after scolding one person and pulling another one away, the entire crew no longer dared to ignore Tang De's words. They all clamped their tails tightly, fearing that if they made a mistake, they would be dragged out and beaten by the strong man. Even Badman and Raymond didn't feel uncomfortable because they had promised before that Tang De would take the lead in everything.

Moreover, Tang De always deals with the situation, and he will not bring your last mistake to this time, except for those who refuse to change despite repeated admonishment.

Therefore, as if the crew started the motor, they completed the indoor environment shooting of the MV in just one day at an extremely fast speed, and packed everything up and restored it at 8 o'clock in the evening, saving Badman a lot of budget.

Tang De was free, sitting on the sofa on the set, looking at the material on the monitor and thinking about the connection between the shots.

"Hey, have a hot dog." Jimmy came over and handed him a steaming hot dog.

Tang De took a bite and said with a smile: "I didn't scare you, Jimmy."

Jimmy made an exaggerated expression: "It's so scary, Donde, you seem to be possessed by Satan. I'm even considering whether to pour a bottle of holy water on you."

"Hahaha, I just have some..." Tang De was about to explain, but Jimmy slapped him back.

He shrugged: "There's no need for this, Tang De. You have to know, brother, that I've always supported you, just like in school! I know you just want to make this MV look more awesome. I also have to thank you for your support." Give me a chance and let me control the phone."

Jimmy sat next to Tang De and said in a complex tone: "You know, I have been on many crews. I know very well how arrogant those directors and photographers are..."

"Good brother." Don took his hand and the two touched shoulders.

"But I have to be honest, I'm actually not very good at cameras..." Jimmy frowned: "I don't know why, but I want to set up the scene more. Maybe today's scene makes me feel cool? I don't know."

"Then you can rely on the art director." Tang De suggested: "Maybe I will have the opportunity to make a movie in the future, and then you can be the art director and help me control everything."

"Wow, that's so cool. There are so many people that the art director can take care of. Props and costumes are also the departments with the most girls. Tang De, you spoke to my heart." Jimmy whistled with excitement on his face.

Tang De shook his head helplessly. As expected, this guy was only motivated for the sake of the girl.

But that’s fine. What people fear most is lack of motivation. Whether it’s for money or beautiful women, there must always be a goal.

Thinking of this, Tang De opened his phone and sent Scarlett a greeting text message.

The next day, the MV shooting continued.

But this time it was much simpler. They rented a garage with a row of luxury cars, including a Porsche 911.

All you need to do is shoot a moving picture to include all the vehicles, and then shoot a shot of Raymond sitting in the car and driving.

As for the footage of the vehicle driving, it's very simple. Just put the camera in a fixed position and let them drive by.

However, although there were fewer scenes today and the crew's cooperation was much higher than before, they still shot for a whole day.

Due to the weather, Tang De was not very satisfied with the material of the vehicle.

After finally shooting the last shot, everyone looked at Tang De eagerly, hoping to hear that sweet noun.

After Tang De frowned and read all the materials, he closed his eyes and thought for a while. Finally, he stood up, picked up the microphone and shouted: "No problem! Finished!"

In an instant, everyone started cheering.
