16 Chapter 16 Shooting is complete (seeking recommended collection) (1/2)
”Buried alive” is about to be finished. Preparations began in early June, and in a blink of an eye it came to July.
The temperature in Cannes is getting hotter and hotter, and this young crew is still suffering.
Fortunately, the filming progress is very fast, although some small problems will appear from time to time, but they can always be solved.
”Heath Ledger, this is the last set of shots in the movie, are you ready?” Lyman looked at Heath Ledger who was sitting and resting not far away, and smiled softly: ”After taking this set of shots, It's over.”
Today was still a hot day, and the warehouse was very sultry. Heath Ledger was wearing a short-sleeved gown that had not been washed since the shooting. Hearing what Lehman said, he nodded calmly.
Counting today, this is already the eighth day after the filming started. Lehman directed this work, and he was overloaded with filming work every day. The crew members also gritted their teeth to accompany him.
In the last scene, before he was buried alive, Paul took out a photo from his pocket, on which was his cutest daughter, which triggered memories.
In the later editing, he will use the way of quick recall to reveal some of Paul's good memories, which can be regarded as a warm card.
There is nothing that can promote the depth of the story, simple and clichéd, just to deceive the audience's tears.
This is a very primitive method, but it is absolutely effective.
”Okay, ready to shoot.”
Hearing Lehman's words, the crew began to act again.
”Camera is fine!”
”The lighting is fine!”
”The actor is ready!”
”Action--” With the decision of the scene by Thomas, the last set of shooting began.
This is a very simple shot. For Heath Ledger, who is getting better, there is no performance difficulty at all.
Just like Paul still dreaming of being able to reunite with his family, it's nothing more than a good memory while dying.
”Cut!” Lehman stood up from behind the director's camera, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then announced loudly: ”Buried alive, the shooting is over!”
”YES!”
”Wow......”
Ryan was the first to run over because he was closest to Lyman.
”Amazing, buddy.” As he said, he opened his arms and hugged Lyman vigorously.
As a person who crossed over, Lyman obviously still couldn't accept the custom of cuddling with a big man. He smiled awkwardly, ”Thank you, Ryan.”
Ryan didn't say anything, only let go of Lyman, and ran to greet the rest of the crew warmly.
The people in the crew are very happy. The end of the filming not only means that they work together to complete a work, but also get actual remuneration—according to the initial employment regulations, only half of the salary is paid, and the rest will be paid. Wait until the shooting is over to pay off.And now, the filming is over.
”Oh Lyman!”
Heath Ledger, who was covered in sweat, also came over. He was in a very beautiful mood. The shooting of these days has made him over the addiction of being a leading actor, ”Thank you, let me experience a... ...Pleasure.”
Looking at Heath Ledger, who was still a bit cautious, Lyman didn't mind the sweat and stains on his body. He hugged him friendly and patted him twice on the back, ”You are a good actor, I hope we will There are still opportunities to cooperate.”
Heath Ledger smiled, ”Well, I would love it.”
”When will I go back to the US?” Lehman let go and asked concerned.
Heath Ledger replied naturally: ”It's probably only two days. The consumption here is too high, and I don't have much money.”
”Your reward, I will settle it to you as soon as possible.” Lehman said embarrassedly: ”It may not be much, I'm really sorry.”
After the filming is over, remove the unfinished salary of the hired behind-the-scenes production members and set aside about 50,000 U.S. dollars in production costs. There will be 10,000 or 20,000 euros left. For Heath Ledger, who considers accommodation for himself, it is a bit lacking.
He was worth more than that, and he was worthy of the daily performance required by the actors' union.
”It doesn't matter, I'm very satisfied with the shooting these days.” Heath Ledger looked openly.
After finishing the shooting equipment, everyone parted ways.
This was because of a movie, and it was normal to leave after shooting.
There was no special shutdown ceremony, and no lively celebrations. After Lyman followed Ryan to send the most sincere verbal thanks to the crew members and paid the rest of the salary, the warehouse gradually became quiet.
Simply clean up, save the film, lock the door... go home and sleep.
