"We need to be quieter. This is my friend's house. Last time I was here to discuss filming matters, I was complained by neighbors facing diagonally three times in one night." Drake carefully lowered his voice and stepped lightly. As he went upstairs, he confessed, "I swear to God, we are almost whispering, but the lady who is opposite still thinks we are too noisy..."

The words were not over yet, and there was a loud "bang" from behind. Everyone looked back and looked over the shoulder of the photographer John-Guleserian. His photo frame slammed into the glass door on the first floor, and he was awkwardly stuck between the two doors, unable to move.

Drake's face was earthy, looking at the glass door anxiously, lest the glass would shatter in the next second, that would be awful.

Lan Li, who was half a step behind, walked forward and opened the door so that John could get out of the room smoothly. Then he checked the glass door back and forth and made an "OK" gesture toward Drake. The assistant director cloth next to him Bryan-Stanis quickly walked up, "Lan Li, you go in, I'll come, I'll come."

Lan Li looked back at the microphone lever held under Brian’s right arm, the light board held under his left arm, and the radio microphone held in his right hand. Then he raised his left hand and pushed the glasses on the tip of his nose, sweating profusely. , Couldn't help laughing, "I told you that one person can't solve it." He reached out and took the microphone lever that was falling continuously, "You go in first."

Brian looked at the friendly smile on Lan Li’s face, and then nodded, "Thank you, really, thank you, this was originally my job..." After speaking, he entered the apartment building in front of him, and Jennifer stood. Waiting at the top of the stairs, holding an umbrella in her hand for gathering lighting, she raised her voice and asked, "Give me the lighting board too..."

"Hush!" Jennifer's voice was loud, without any suppression. Drake, who had already walked to the second floor, immediately issued a warning of silence, causing Jennifer to shrug his shoulders with a grin, and vomit at Lan Li and Brian. Tongue out.

This afternoon, "Crazy Love" officially started in the ordinary. They first completed two scenes at Santa Monica Community College, and then completed one at a coffee shop frequented by college students. Although the filming of the scene was three scenes, it was less than five minutes before and after the scene. The shooting went smoothly, and it only took less than four hours to complete the shooting.

Now, they are located just a few blocks away from Santa Monica Community College. Many students live in this area, with a strong atmosphere of life and a little Italian style, far away from the tourist-like Venice beach. , And immediately fell silent. Drake borrowed a friend’s apartment, intending to use it as Anna’s shared apartment in the movie, and continue to complete the filming of Jacob and Anna’s first date.

In the story, Jacob and Anna met at afternoon tea and had dinner together. Then Jacob escorted Anna back to the apartment. On impulse, Anna invited Jacob into the apartment, and Jacob visited Anna. Her boudoir, but in the end it just stayed for a while, turned and left. The gentleman's actions and the reluctance of parting really made the two fall in love.

"Who is making the noise in the hallway!" A humming sound abruptly resounded, ramming in a small space. In an instant, everyone was chilled, the collective movements were still, and the muscles were at the same time. Stiff in place. "Don't you know that it's a break now. It's very rude to disturb others to rest?"

Everyone in the crew looked at each other. Everyone held their breath at the same time. Drake looked at everyone anxiously and motioned to everyone not to speak-they could refute, but once it started, the war began. Then there will be no end, not to mention the shooting, I am afraid that there will be no way to clean up the whole night.

Crackling, the strong middle-aged woman's voice echoed throughout the corridor, Lan Li only felt an inexplicable sense of joy - she was clearly accusing others of making loud noises, but at this moment, isn't she the culprit of the noise? alone? What's more, it's already more than half past five, and she is actually still taking a lunch break...

In sight, Lan Li saw Jennifer starting to make grimace, all kinds of exaggerated grimace, rolling his eyes, sticking out tongue, pulling the corner of his eyes, and smashing his mouth, silently imitating the woman's cursing mouth. The type, the expression without the image of a lady made John, Brian, Lanly and others standing behind couldn't help laughing-but at this time they couldn't make any noise, and they were holding back their smiles very hard.

Finally, after nearly a minute, the other party finally stopped, "You better be quiet!" Then there was a heavy slamming of the door, "Bang!" reverberated throughout the corridor.

After listening for a while, and after confirming that there was no sound, Drake said softly, "The crisis is over."

Is this called crisis relief? Lan Li was really dumbfounded.

The group of people walked on tiptoe, not looking like a crew, but like an organization of thieves planning to move and steal in broad daylight.

Waiting for Lan Li to finally enter the apartment, Drake gently closed the door of the room, turned around and saw Lan Li standing behind him, without doubt, he said, "Go in, the room on the right. That’s it, we’ve already arranged it before, and we designed and decorated it completely according to the character’s personality. It took nearly three weeks. It’s really hard work."

"I just want to remind you that the noise just now has been complained. So, what should I do with the scene tonight?" Lan Li's reminder made Drake stunned. "Nearly four pages of lines, it takes How to do?"

Drake’s sprouting of Jacob and Anna’s love was designed. The first communication took place in the coffee house. Both of them seemed a little rusty. They were just talking innocent jokes; the second communication took place in Yanyan. In the process of walking along Santa Monica Community College, the two people chatted about family and future career planning, and got to know each other better, and gradually became familiar with each other; the third paragraph skipped the dinner stage and entered Anna’s In the boudoir, the two people really talked about each other's interests and hobbies, and sparks grew little by little.

Although due to space constraints, Drake could not give more space to tell the story of two people falling in love in ten minutes. This is already the limit; but Drake still gave enough foreshadowing to gradually let the two people fall in love. A role is brewing sparks-this is also the reason why this afternoon's shooting has always been smooth. The two actors also started from embarrassment and strangeness, and gradually became familiar and close.

In Drake’s conception, the conversation in the evening is a bit similar to "before sunrise." Through the exchanges between Anna and Jacob on certain issues, not only interest, but also the outlook on life, world outlook and values ​​are alluded to For example, refugees, environmental protection, philosophy, lifestyle, two people understand each other through dialogue, and then get closer and closer.

However, now this scene will be severely tested-if they chat, they will definitely not be able to whisper in their ears; but once a little louder, the neighbors will complain, and maybe it will lead to disputes.

At this time, Drake realized the seriousness of the problem, not only the lines, but also the crew must also be taken into consideration.

"Crazy Love" is a very small crew, currently there are only seven people, Charlie Bray did not follow, but Jennifer Lawrence followed along, ready to watch the shooting, as soon as possible to find the feeling of shooting, except for the three actors In addition, the director, photographer, assistant director, lighting engineer, they don't even have a makeup artist, but the assistant director Brian takes a part-time job.

But even so, seven people crowded in a small apartment, even the slightest sound will be amplified, not to mention, they are going to work.

This is the trouble for the independent crew. The cost of "Crazy Love" is only $250,000, which is less than one-tenth of the cost of "Buried Alive." Therefore, "Buried alive" can rent a studio, without interruption, and devote himself to shooting; but "Love is crazy" can only seek help from friends.

This apartment is probably the best choice.

Drake couldn't help but rubbed his temples. At this time, Jennifer also noticed the dignified faces of the two of them, and walked over, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"There are four pages of lines in this scene tonight. It is an impossible task not to disturb the neighbor next door." Drake summed up the situation in one sentence, and Jennifer opened her mouth, showing surprise. His expression calmed down immediately-this problem is not so easy to solve~lightnovelpub.net~Drake, when you dated your ex-wife for the first time, do you remember what you talked about at night? ? Lan Li suddenly asked.

Drake's attention was not here at this time, and he waved his hand, "What's the use of saying this now, no matter what we talk about, the point is, we all make a sound, don't we?"

"No." Lan Li shook his head, "I mean, even if it's a script like'before sunrise', in fact, between two people who are in love, they may not remember every topic clearly, because We are all immersed in our own throbbing and emotions, I may remember... well, her smile, even her sweater, or her shy cheeks when she mentioned the poem, but I don’t necessarily remember the specifics of the poem. What is the content, isn't it?"

In fact, in the budding dating of love, the focus is never on the content of the conversation, but the connection and resonance established through the conversation. It's like many people pretend to like things they hate in order to please and cater to each other during dating. For example, girls pretend that they have endless passion for basketball. For example, boys pretend that they don't mind eating salad every day.

Drake did not react immediately, but Jennifer's eyes lit up, "You mean..."
