Producer [American Entertainment]

Although in the filming of "The Man From Earth", the camera did not cost money, but all the equipment except the camera cost money.

Lighting, sound, suitable external microphone, recording microphone pole, rocker arm, track, diffuser...

If you have never been in touch with film production, just looking at the price list given by the rental company, you will probably be confused by the various titles like the book that day.Because even the lights on the shooting scene can be distinguished by no less than twenty different names and used in different places.These lights are still necessary, how can I say something? "Photography is the art of light and dark."

Videography will only depend more on different lighting.

These lights are so important that William even needs to hire an assistant to take care of them. The videographer must not be able to do it by himself, because those heavy equipment are so heavy that they can kill people.The kind of life.

Most of the homicides that happened in the crew, the murder weapon is generally XX lamp, OO pole, anyway, it is inseparable from the lamp or the lamp body, the first choice for killing people without a knife.

The light bulb is the most fragile, the most likely to need compensation, and the thing that will break the heart of the producer.

"Please always remember that we are poor, we are super poor, please handle the things on set with care, OK?" William reiterated to the crew over and over again that he would always treat rented things with care. Become Grandet.He meant, why did he buy things at the end when they could be rented so cheaply?Still a tattered version.

Together with his old partner, Neil took a tacit look and placed them in front of the wooden house. None of the cars used as props cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

poverty?

"I can't help it. This is already the cheapest car in my garage. I don't have the money to rent other cars. It's dark anyway, and the audience may not be able to recognize what model these cars are. Really recognize them Let them imagine that the professors are rich, or buy a car with a loan." William was about to cry, because he really couldn't find a cheaper car, and neither did his cousin.

Neil and many people in the crew all had a feeling that even though William was crying poor, they still wanted to kill him for some reason.

In private, William said to Neil: "When you need a car for any ceremony or party you want to attend in the future, you can go to my garage and pick it up. As long as you don't have sex in the car, or use it as a murder tool, there is no other excuse. restricted."

"Ha! Let's be friends for life!" Neil almost knelt down and hugged his thigh.

"I thought we were already friends." William smiled helplessly.

Neil and the three friends he met in the crew have now stepped into the glamorous show business circle.Because of their outstanding performance in the smoking gun movie, they have been found a lot of jobs.Neil's next new film won't start shooting until next month, which is just enough to help William with a job for free, for the sake of his friends.

Taking advantage of the sunset, the filming officially started. As long as the lines are memorized, the filming will go smoothly.

People on Earth really don't need any acting skills, because the highlights are all in the lines and imagination, as long as it is not too exaggerated, or there is no sense of professorship, the scene can pass.

Of course, Miguel's aesthetics of composition also made him call for reshoots frequently. This is his insistence, and no one can stop it.

After handing over the shooting of the scene to MiG, William will not interrupt easily.Because he really doesn't know how to shoot, he can't even tell the various sizes of the aperture.It is very easy for William to want to interrupt without controlling the attack. He just needs to tell himself that if you waste a day of meddling with MiG, you will have to pay for an extra day of equipment, and he will learn to keep his mouth shut. .

Therefore, when the filming started, William became the most idle person in the whole crew.

Half lying on a chair, enjoying the sunshine in California, William was texting his cousin while teasing the cat.The background sound is that Miguel sounds good to talk, but as long as you can't satisfy his pursuit of aesthetics, it will make people keep retaking the paranoid sound, not high or low, but persistent enough.

In order to ensure the smooth recording of the scene, the shooting site has been kept absolutely quiet.

William even chose to mute the phone.

William: [I always thought that after MiG studied with Wheeler, he would become a tyrant on the set, but he didn't; later I was afraid that MiG would be too soft-tempered and wouldn't be able to hold the whole set, but he still didn't.That temperless, calm "here we go again," "do it again," "do it again," like he's got a lifetime of patience and you're wasting it on "do it again," is almost becoming a nightmare for everyone on set.I also dreamed last night that when Miguel said "Come again", a wad of money was missing from the budget. That was terrible! ] Sabatino replied a little slowly this time, but also very concisely: 【I'm not interested in the MiG matter. 】William:【Oh, ​​do you want to hear cotton candy?I knew you liked it too, admit it, and pretend to annoy it every time, your personality is also very feline.Let me tell you, Marshmallow learned a new game today, pushing cup towers.Even if I set up six paper cups, it will roll away like a bowling ball, knock it over, and then come to look at me and ask me to put it back on again.You don't know, the moment it is pushed, it has a big brother's aura, and the expression of "I just don't like you" is absolutely amazing.It's a pity that I didn't take a picture of it, otherwise my grandfather would find it very familiar and very happy. 】【No, I don't think grandpa will be happy just because he looks like a cat.No, how could grandpa resemble a cat!You cat slave, wake me up! ! ! ] Sabatino finally sent an emoji of flipping the table to strengthen his language.

[Saba, your personality is a bit broken.So weird... and said you don't like marshmallows!I don't know how to eat your vinegar, and I am willing to raise it with you. 】I!No!willing!meaning!

On the other end of the phone, Sabatino's face was almost distorted.Giving William cotton candy was definitely the biggest mistake in his life. He even forgot the "sad" memory of William ignoring him because of the cotton candy in his previous life.

People are not as good as cats! People are not as good as cats.

"BOSS?" Mr. Special Assistant stood aside and began to waver again. The BOSS has been reduced to the point where he wants to compete with a cat. He really likes William, right?But what to do?I really think such a good beast, they are related by blood!Obviously William doesn't know yet!As a qualified special assistant, should he tip off to Don, or help him?

In the end, Mr. Special Assistant decided to sit down with Sabatino and have a good talk as a friend.

After get off work, Mr. Special Assistant said to Sabatino: "We haven't gone to the bar for a drink together for a long time, do you want to have a drink in the name of a friend?"

"Talk about your relationship with Lily? Don't care, don't care, please don't tell me." After finishing speaking, Sabatino, who left the words behind, couldn't wait to drive to Pasadena.He decided that he wanted to live in Pasadena, which was not far from the branch anyway, only a few tens of kilometers away, and he was happy!

Mr. Special Assistant, who was rejected with a face of refusal, stood there numbly, thinking about the question "Why Sabatino's words seem so familiar".

"Hey, I'm home." Roy, who came to the branch office recently to deal with legal issues, was against the light, half leaning against the door of the office.

Still better brother!It feels great to have someone waiting for me to go home with me!Mr. Special Assistant was so moved that his tears flowed like a river.

"I want to eat Chinese food today. It is said that it takes a lot of work. You should cook it quickly. I'm already hungry."

"...You asked me to go together just to urge me to cook?" Mr. Special Assistant blinked several times, but still couldn't believe his ears, he was treated like this by his twin brother!

"Otherwise what do you think?" Roy frowned.

"Why should I be a brother with you!" Don't want to have such an annoying brother at all, okay?one!point!also!No! "I can't cook Chinese food!"

"That's why I specially printed the menu for you from the Internet." Roy felt that he couldn't be more considerate.

can i strangle you ! ! !

While Mr. Assistant and his twin brother, are fighting over dinner, Wendy's black dad, Mr. White, is also with Sabatino's housekeeper, because who's going to cook dinner at night, for the thousand and first time "The meaning of your coming is to help Master William finish the movie."

"The meaning of your coming is also!"

Both Mr. White and the old butler came to help William make a movie. Professors, they must not be young. They played a professor of anthropology and a professor of archaeology respectively.In the movie, they are great friends, and outside of the movie...they go head-to-head over the kitchen.

No one wants to give up the position of the master.

Before, Mr. White and the old housekeeper also tried to cooperate, but the result was only worse, because their cooking philosophy was different.Mr. White thinks that it is an art to cook the best meal with the cheapest ingredients; but Mr. Butler thinks that you get what you pay for, and he will never allow his young master to eat such cheap food, God knows if he will eat it bad stomach.

William said to Wendy: "Remember, in the future, the crew will definitely not have two head chefs, but only one head chef and a team that absolutely obeys his orders."

Wendy nodded approvingly.

MiG was speechless: "Do you dare to do something? Just watch like this? Don't try to persuade the fight?"

William shrugged: "That's my cousin's housekeeper. He has taken good care of my cousin from Italy to the United States, from New York to Los Angeles. He is like a second father, or grandpa. I dare not let him not happy."

Wendy also shrugged: "That's my dad. I know him well, and I can argue with him about everything, but in the absolute field of the kitchen, I'd better keep quiet."

Marshmallow sat on the William brand human body cushion and shook along with it. It probably wanted to learn to shrug its shoulders, but... it only had the effect of shaking.
