The Best Director

Since signing the contract, in the preparatory stage of Youying, Will Smith has been growing his hair and beard, and he has been on a regular diet, losing more than 20 pounds. Naturally, this is to play Chris Gardner well. The image of the character is thin, vicissitudes, and a middle-aged man who is down and out. After some dressing up by the makeup artist, part of his hair was slightly gray, and his face looked dark and old-fashioned. This kind of temperament is his new appearance, and he looks good.

Following Wang Yang's "n", Will Smith, who was carrying a brown cloth bag and a medical scanner, came out of the nursery. The Chinese uncle at the door was sweeping the floor, and Will said, " Please borrow it" He took two steps and saw two English words on the graffiti wall.

On the street above, two pitch-black film cameras were filming simultaneously, one at medium distances and the other at close-ups, which were edited and then changed in post. Wang Yang stands behind the close-up camera, observing the performance through the viewfinder; the next-side one in the middle shot is controlled by Ware-Fisch.

"Excuse me, when will I get someone to clean up this place?" Will Smith looked worried, and pointed to the "D" on the wall. The Chinese uncle glanced at him, continued to sweep the floor, and said in Cantonese: "I don't know how to speak English, so I can't tell you what to do." Will Smith frowned, tilted his neck and listened, and said helplessly. He waved his hand, these were all rehearsals and performances before." No problem, he clicked the y of "Hss" again and said seriously: "There is also this y" I have said it several times, it is nT! "Wang Yang shouted, stopped the camera, tilted his head to look forward, and said: "Will, your performance should be more restrained, especially the voice, it should be more calm, but a little The helplessness, but also a sense of determination... This is not just about your son, this is what you said to yourself, there is no reason in happiness "Only me, the pursuit of happiness depends on myself, I will get happiness, and I will let my son get happiness..."

Looking at Wang Yang next to him who was still explaining, and then at Will Smith who was listening carefully in the distance, Gordon Xin, who was standing on the periphery, couldn't help feeling a little emotional. How would a Hollywood superstar like Will want to listen? For the first time, looking at the whole world, it is completely possible to apply for the Guinness Book of Records! Although director Yang has this power, how many big stars like Will are there in Hollywood? Will you really regard the 19-year-old director as the director?

"Okay, Yang, I understand." Will Smith nodded after listening to Wang Yang's words. He didn't have any disdain or perfunctory thoughts. He chose to take this role, and he chose to believe in Wang Yang's director ability , He will also work hard to perform the effect the director wants.

"Then come again."

Wang Yang moved his eyes back to the viewfinder, and motioned to Walley Pfister." Both of them started the camera, and when the credits finished calling "the second time" he was about to say "n"" but found Terry A Smith didn't know when he came to him.

Wearing a pair of suspenders and combing a small afro shirt, standing by the camera "watching all this curiously, these two big guys, Dad's performance, Uncle Yang's explanation,

There are so many uncles and aunts around." Is this what making a movie is?

"Little handsome guy" why are you here? "Wang Yang smiled uncontrollably," he was too busy to forget this, he took a look at Will," then turned off the camera, took Terry's hand and walked into the nursery: "Come, come with me. "Keeley should be sitting in the nursery and playing with toys. Although this shot will not be shot for the time being, it will help Will Smith's input.

When it's settled, "Wang Yang returned to the front of the camera and started shooting again" and shouted: "n"

Will Smith walked out of the nursery, and soon acted to the end of this group of shots" pointing at the letter "y" on the wall, and glanced at his son through the window, as if he suddenly felt the power of the universe. The Throne of the Gods and Gods Seal Seeking Demons and Proud World Nine Heavens The Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal General Will Kill the Gods and Seals Throne at Night Seeking Demons and Proud World Nine Heavens The Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Clan Martial Qiankun Will Kill Gods and Gods Seal Throne at Night Seeking Demons and Overlords Nine Heavens The strongest abandoned young man of the Great Zhou Royal Clan God-making General Night Killing God God Seal Throne Begging for Demons Audacious Nine Heavens Strongest abandoned Young Great Zhou Royal Clan In that mood, looking at the Chinese uncle, knowing that the other party can't understand, but still firmly said : "There is also this y...it's not y in nss...it's i! "

"I'm better than you, I know how to speak English..." The Chinese uncle waved his hands impatiently, Will Smith pursed his lips helplessly, looked at his son in the window for a while, then turned and walked towards the street entrance. While walking, he looked at his watch halfway, and several extras beside him also moved around.

The close-range camera has completed its task, and Vallefis, who controls the medium-range camera, slowly raised the angle of the camera until the sign above the street was photographed. Wang Yang gave a thumbs-up when he saw Vale , I couldn't help being a little excited, and shouted: "CUT! pass! "

All of a sudden, there was thunderous applause in the street." Everyone in the production team laughed and clapped their hands. Harry George whistled, and Terry also cheered and raised his hands in the room, and jumped out. Will who came back Yi Smith laughed and picked him up, looked at Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "Hey, buddy, it feels really good to act in a biopic! "Wang Yang patted the film supply box of the camera, nodded and smiled: "I feel good too!" ,,

When you are on vacation, you can enjoy your daily life "playing, dating, watching the football game quietly and excitedly, freehand and happy; and once you enter work" and enter the filming, Wang Yang feels that his whole body is full of happiness. The feeling of motivation” keeps moving forward, completing one shot after another, these are his favorite things to do and make him feel extremely happy.

"Next shot!" Wang Yang clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

Next, the crew shot several scenes of Chris Gardner and Mrs. Zhu talking at the entrance of the nursery, and some scenes of Chris walking on the road with his son, "Outside the nursery, this scene is just a few shots. It's nearly finished, leaving Chris, who became an official agent through an internship, running over ecstatically, embracing his son in the house for a set of shots, which will be saved until the final stage of shooting.

Because Will Smith didn't perform very well in rehearsals, probably because he hasn't experienced that emotion yet. Wang Yang is not in a hurry. In fact, he has always wanted to shoot in sequence according to the script, so that the actors' mastery and understanding of the psychological changes of the characters will achieve the best results. Of course, when shooting in reality, we still have to adopt a certain method of shooting in different scenes, but Chris’s dream came true, and he embraced the important scene of his son crying, and got special treatment. Reese's mind changes, and he will complete this shot again.

The time has come to the afternoon, and the crew is continuing to shoot the scene of "Inside the Nursery." Vale Fischer directed the camera assistants to place the camera positions, watching the sweaty, panting Harry-George, Wang Yang who was sitting on the stairs smiled and said, "Hey, fat man, why haven't you lost weight yet? Harry-George placed the camera on the tripod with both hands very steady, and panted, he replied, "I've lost 50 pounds!" "

Looking at the chubby face and the fat double chin, Wang Yang modeled the huge golden retriever at his feet. This well-trained golden retriever was rented back from a professional pet photography agency, specially for these few days. group shots; he was surprised and said: "Wow, you can't see it at all, I think you have to lose another 200 pounds." Walley Pfister also joked with a smile: "I think you have to lose 300 pounds., Disapproval was written all over Harry-George's fat face, he turned to the camera and said, "300 pounds? Man, then I'm a mummy."

Everyone smiled slightly." When Wang Yang was about to say something with a smile, Jill Thaddeus, the director of field affairs, walked in quickly from the outside, and saw him frowning with helplessness on his face." Wang Yang knew there must be something wrong. Troubled, stood up and asked, "Jill, what's the matter?" Gil Thaddeus, who was watched by everyone, shrugged and said helplessly, "The owner of the shop on the street wants us to unblock this street."

"Didn't you talk to all the shopkeepers on this street?" Wang Yang couldn't help frowning. Firstly, the studio must remain mysterious, and reporters should not be allowed to sneak in to shoot casually; secondly, passers-by should not be allowed to affect the shooting, so when shooting exterior scenes, the roads often need to be closed. Now this street is closed, which will naturally affect the The business of the shops on both sides, but the crew will pay a certain amount of money to compensate for their losses." This is also a good agreement.

Gil Thaddeus nodded, and explained: "Yes, we talked about it at the beginning, but now he feels that the road closure is too long and his loss is too great." Wang Yang suddenly understood, and said: "There's nothing wrong with the negotiation, I'll go and have a look."

Walked out of the nursery." Wang Yang followed Jill and came to the front of the shop at the street corner, and saw a middle-aged Chinese uncle with an impatient face, yelling at a scene recorder: "How long will the filming take? I still have to do business! "As he said, he said dissatisfiedly in Cantonese: "What a shame! Filming a big show! Seal ghosts forever, don't make people do business! \

,""Hey, the director" is handed over to you..." When Chang Ji saw Wang Yang, he immediately showed a relieved expression, and went up to continue to guard the entrance of the street.

"Uncle, my name is Wang Yang" is the director of this film. "Wang Yang looked at the uncle very kindly, stretched out his hand, and continued to say in Chinese: "I'm sorry, the road is closed for a whole day" but the filming will be over soon. I know that compensation may not be enough, but I hope you can understand and support the films of the younger generation. "The uncle looked Wang Yang up and down, and shook hands with him." His tone gradually calmed down: "I know who you are, and it's not that I don't support you..."

Wang Yang immediately smiled all over his face, and hugged the uncle's hand gratefully." He rushed to speak in Cantonese that was not very proficient: "Thank you so much! Uncle, I have to drink some tea, thank you so much. "The uncle's words were all intercepted. Seeing such an enthusiastic Wang Yang, he curled his lips and shook his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, do business for a day and a half. Bad boy, make your movie better! do you know? "

"Well, I will!" Wang Yang nodded with a smile, pointed to the nursery, and said, "Uncle, then I will go back and continue filming. I will finish the filming earlier so that you can do business." Uncle nodded." Walking back to his shop, Gil Thaddeus gave Wang Yang a thumbs up with a smile, and such a difficult guy was solved in a few words, and he couldn't help but praise: "Director, you really deserve it! Wang Yang shrugged and smiled: "It's nothing, this is my territory." "

The two walked back to the nursery, and Gil Thaddeus asked curiously again: "Director, did you use two languages ​​just now? I noticed that your accent is different." Wang Yang nodded as he walked Said: "Well, Chinese, some Cantonese." Gil Thaddeus wowed, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you are still a language genius." Wang Yang smiled, spread his hands and said: "You know, I am in a restaurant I grew up in a restaurant, but there are customers who say anything in restaurants.”

Back in the nursery, the photographic equipment was ready, and the children playing classmates were laughing and laughing at each other." Terry Smith was also among them, and the golden retriever wagged its tail and turned around. When it saw Wang Yang coming in, it went Excitedly surrounded it. Wang Yang touched its head, and said with an order: "Sit! "The golden retriever sat down obediently, and he couldn't help sighing secretly, it's really well-trained, not as crazy as Danny.

"Yang, I heard that some merchants are dissatisfied with road closures? Has it been resolved?" Will Smith walked up and asked, Wang Yang smiled and nodded, "It's all resolved." He clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone take your place , ready to shoot the next shot!" He walked back to the back of the camera, watching Valle Fischer make the final adjustments, the room is not very big, so only one camera is needed to shoot at a close-up distance, that is, the stairs mouth this position.

This is how the original was shot, the nursery shot is in the same position, with some mid-ground changes, sideways movement, and camera pans. But Wang Yang hopes to have more lens changes and editing materials, so the other camera will be carried by Hajia George on his shoulders, standing on the stairs, taking deep breaths, his eyes are bright, and muttering He muttered: "Oh my god, oh my god..." Wang Yang leaned against the wall at the entrance of the stairs with his arms folded, looked up at the fat man, and said with a smile: "Harry, do you have no strength? Do you want someone else to come?" Harry hurriedly shouted: "No! I'm just a little nervous, man, this is the first time I hold the camera in person, oh my God!" He said with a happy face: " I never thought I would be here today."

Wang Yang smiled and didn't speak. Ware Fischer, who adjusted the machine, raised his head and gave Wang Yang a "OK" gesture, and then turned his head to remind Harry: "Don't take us all in, the angle Be taller!" Harry responded excitedly: "Got it! I will take the best shot!"

"Then let's start!" Wang Yang clapped his hands, and all the casual people in the room went out, leaving the extras, children, golden retriever dog, and a few photography crews on the stairs. Slate board" shouted the serial number of the scene and tapped it with a "tat", and shouted: "n"

Will Smith, who was walking outside, held the scanner in one hand, and opened the glass door with "Zhu Tai Daycare" in the other. The wind bell hanging on the door suddenly rang, making a melodious and crisp "bell bell" sound .

On the first day of the start-up, the crew did not encounter any problems. It was after 1:00 in the afternoon, and the crew also announced the end of today's filming. In fact, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" has a lot of shots that need to be shot at night, but today's workload is enough, there is no need to rush work, Will Smith also needs time to calm his mind and think about tomorrow's shooting content.

Since Chinatown is located near the Golden Gate Bridge, and Oakland is just across the bridge, almost all the shots in the movie were completed in the scenes of these two places, so the crew settled down in a hotel near Chinatown. But Wang Yang is not in the hotel now, but at home, Wang's restaurant. Because he received a call from his mother that the old turkey soup was stewed at home, and he needed to go back to drink the soup; he was also accompanied by Li-Smith, this little guy is very clingy to Wang Yang now, and he heard that Wang Yang was going home. , he eagerly wanted to go with him, so after Will Smith agreed, Wang Yang took this little guy with him.
