He accompanied Naomi under the parasol, drinking coffee, and watching the passers-by in a hurry. In Hollywood, which pursues efficiency, those who walk in a hurry are usually practitioners in this industry. They don’t rush to stroll slowly, most of them are tourists.

"Let's go back, Wayne, I believe I will leave my name here in the future, and I will live on Beverly Hills."

Naomi looked at the direction of Beverly Hills in a daze, pulled Wayne up and walked home. Along the way, Wayne drove the car, looking at the woman who was suddenly silent from time to time.

Maybe these are inspiring her. It is undeniable that everyone is working hard for fame and fortune, but everyone who can persist is worthy of their respect because he is also one of them.

The holiday was over, and he refused the invitation to go to the apartment opposite, returned to his room, facing the California late October sunshine, and picked up his pencil.

Two days passed by, and he quietly drew two-day split shots at home and made two-day shooting plans. The shooting plan is probably a reference, and no one can guarantee that it will be completed every day, or one day it will be completed smoothly in half a day. He just needs a reference.

On November 1st, at 8 a.m., he drove a pickup truck, followed by the crew, various shooting equipment and prop cars, and walked to the movie location, Vincent High School, Orange County, Los Angeles area.

Luke had already driven to the front. He would go to the hotel to sign a contract first, and then go to the school to coordinate in advance. By the time Wayne led the convoy into the school, it was almost ten o'clock.

Fortunately, the places that need to be used have been cleared, but some children were curious about the filming process of the movie, surrounded the convoy from afar, watching the staff arrange the machines and set the scenes.

He got out of the car and looked carefully at the road from the dormitory to the outside. This was the first thing to be filmed soon. Because these scenes were relatively simple, he was the first to shoot with the purpose of exercising the crew.

After watching Naomi simply put on makeup, lights, props, sets, and Luke all made ok gestures to him, he adjusted the monitor and walked to the camera.

The main photographer is Wayne. He did not hire another photographer, and he did a good job. Adjusting the camera, Wayne walked to Naomi who looked a little nervous and asked her:

"Naomi, let's try it out first, don't be nervous. This scene is very simple. You just need to walk out of the dormitory and see all kinds of classmates along the way, just pay attention to your expressions. Don't be too exaggerated, be more natural, especially when you see a classmate who faints. OK?"

Naomi tidied her hair with her hands and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I'm sure, no problem."

Seeing that she understood, Wayne walked behind the camera with satisfaction, and he wanted to follow him later.

"Happy Day of the Festival, the first show, the first test shot, start!"

Naomi came out of the dormitory building again, and while looking around strangely, he walked forward. After walking a few steps, Wayne shouted loudly.

“cut!”

Then he walked to the confused Naomi and told her carefully:

"Naomi, pay attention to your facial expressions. You are not a little supporter, you are the heroine! The camera will enlarge your face with high definition throughout the entire process. Don't use too much force, be natural."

Naomi may have been a little nervous about Wayne, so she asked:

"Sorry, what I want to do, I don't know how to express that feeling of confusion without expression."

He stretched out his left hand, pointed Naomi's eyes with his index finger, and told her patiently:

"You are a movie actor, use your eyes and eyes, don't say you don't understand!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked, and said loudly to everyone:

"Reset, reset all, Luke, you go command the extras and supporting actors and get them back to their position, and we'll try another one again."

With the second test shot, Wayne shouted to stop halfway through. This time, Naomi was much better than before, and made progress. She re-reset and continued the third test shot.

The third test shot went smoothly, from Naomi to various actors, from beginning to end, this one was very smooth. He felt that while he felt good, he would take the real shot immediately.

"Every department has been restored and real shots are started. Lily, I'm reinstalling Naomi, this time I'm taking photos!"

Wayne pushed the camera and saw that Naomi was ready, so he looked at the lighting clerk. Seeing him nodding, he was ready to start immediately.

"Happy Day of the Festival, the first scene, the first act, the beginning!"

Naomi had just taken two steps, and in less than two seconds, he called and stopped again. This time he ignored the actors and walked directly to Steve and told him:

"Steve, the lights are a little brighter, the background is too dark now. I need the heroine Telly to come out and it will be sunny, so that there will be a contrast when the light changes in the back."

“Ok.”

The students who started shooting immediately started again. When they saw the filming of the movie that they thought was mysterious, it was such a boring thing, and it gradually dissipated.

"Happy Day of the Festival, the first scene, the first act, the second time, the beginning!"

With the sound of the shooting of the field, the entire team followed Naomi and walked the road several times. This time, it felt good. Just when it was about to end, Wayne heard loudly stop again.

"Luke, Luke, go and tell the child who fainted, what does fainting mean! Tell him not to look at the camera, fainting means closing his eyes that are curious about the world, go now, right now!"

He was also a little helpless, and it was about to end this article very smoothly, but the problem happened to the supporting actor. He was already a little unable to suppress his anger and anger.

He was re-reset again, putting on makeup, and stopping again. This time, the lighting master did not master the light well. There was a significant change in the lens, and such a stupid mistake occurred. He was very annoyed.

Reset again, and start. The extras continued to have problems, either looking at the camera or moving incorrectly. Once again, Naomi's emotions were affected and became less stable. Just as Wayne was furious and was about to start squirting, he shouted and rested.

Sitting in the director's chair behind the monitor, he lit a cigarette and tried hard to suppress his anger. He knew in his heart that these were what the new crew had to experience, and no one had ever worked through it, so some mistakes of cerebral palsy were inevitable.

The staff in the crew also need to enter the state and slowly find the tacit understanding. But he still couldn't suppress his temper. At this moment, he finally understood why directors generally have bad tempers.

The reason why everyone is rested is to relieve everyone's nervousness and anxiety, and he also relieves it. He knows that losing his temper will not solve any problem, and will only deepen everyone's negative emotions.

After smoking a cigarette, he looked at his watch. It was already past twelve o'clock. He got up and walked to the camera, looked at everyone. Seeing that everyone was making gestures and ready, he nodded to Naomi and signaled to start immediately.

"Happy Day of the Festival, the first scene, the first act, the nineteenth time, begin!"

As Naomi walked out of the dormitory, everyone followed her to start this simple long shot, maybe it was the effect of rest, maybe it was because everyone was hungry and unexpectedly went smoothly, Wayne was ready for this day of filming.

"Okay, this one has passed, everyone will have a rest and have lunch."

Everyone looked at Wayne behind the monitor, and they were relieved until he said it with satisfaction.

He took the burger handed over by Luke, ate it while watching the film he had just shot. He shook his head, but unexpectedly the start was not smooth. He took a shot of more than ten seconds and took a long time to make it seem that he was going to modify the shooting plan.

He still underestimated the difficulty of shooting. Just as he took out the director's record book and revised it, he found that someone was sitting next to him and handed him a cup of coffee.

After taking the paper cup, he realized that it was Uma Thurman, and there was no scene with her today, but Wayne saw her watching it for a whole morning and did not leave.

"Wayne, do you know? Your face was so gloomy just now that everyone thought you were going to transform into an angry hair dryer. I didn't expect you to suppress your anger and concentrate on your work. You know, I have also been to several crews, and there are only a handful of directors who can do this. You did a great job."

Uma Thurman saw him take the coffee, took a sip, and then sat next to him and said to him.

Wayne glanced at her and replied:

"Being angry cannot solve the problem, it will only make everyone irritated with me. I am the producer and director of this project. Everyone is watching me. I can't take the lead in increasing the difficulty of work for everyone."

Uma raised her eyebrows. This was not the first time she saw a director who could suppress his emotions rather than vent his temper. Those who could suppress his temper were successful directors, but her purpose was not to give Wayne coffee.

"Wayne, I think I can understand your stress. How about having a drink together at night, at least it can temporarily relieve anxiety."

After saying that, Uma put down his coffee in her hand and scratched Wayne's back with her fingernails. Before he could say anything he refused, he felt like someone sitting next to him.

"Sorry, Ms. Thurman, Wayne made an appointment with me for dinner tonight. If you have anything else, next time."

Naomi sat down and stared at Uma and said. Uma turned her head and the two stared at each other. Wayne could clearly understand their eyes and clearly expressed this "bxxxh!"

"Uma, I have to modify my shooting plan tonight and arrange my shooting plan tomorrow. I have a lot of work, next time."

Wayne said something to Uma, but without waiting for her to respond, he got up and went to Steve to discuss the lighting issues he had taken with him.

Steve gave him a good feeling. Although Steve may be the least accessible to this crew, his ability is above the level and he can immediately find the feeling he wants.

Luke hurried over and whispered to Wayne:

"You'd better go over there and have a look. Just now, your prop master Rose, and Mia from the set."

When Wayne heard this, his head immediately felt a big round and asked Luke in a low voice:

"Do you know why? It's impossible to start arguing for no reason, right?"

"These two jobs are a bit related, but they don't seem to be very tough. At first, Ross sat on Mia's chair, and then he didn't know what it was."

The reason was ridiculous, but he thought it might be very big. He walked towards the two of them while thinking about how to solve it.
