Chapter 182 Super Double
Unrelated people left the set and the crew continued filming in the studio.
After the initial few preliminary plots are over, the setting can no longer be limited to a few streets and a few cafes and restaurants. The city "protected" by the "superheroes" should also show its entire appearance.
Of course, most of the city’s large scenes still have to rely on post-production special effects synthesis.
Generally speaking, the props that need to be used are small objects with very details, such as benches on the street, trash cans, neon lights and the like.
Because these objects look small but have many details, it is not only difficult to restore the sense of reality by using special effects synthesis, but the cost is also very high. It is better to spend a little money to buy the real thing.
After all, the system does not allow deliberate waste of money, otherwise Yang Ruoqian might really have to make a special effects trash can.
The same goes for the actors' costumes and props.
Some grand visions and the cool skills of superheroes either do not require an astonishing amount of details, or can be played at will and can be synthesized with special effects.
The scenes being filmed in the studio now are not much different from modern metropolises, with only some differences in details - in a certain area of the metropolis, the brightly lit streets are littered with smelly garbage, most of the people are skinny and sick, and billboards nearby are hung with promotional billboards of "superheroes", praising them to the utmost.
This not only uses the first plot of killing the protagonist's ex-girlfriend to establish the villain image of the superhero, but also expresses through these details that they are not only villains, but also hypocritical hypocrites.
…
After making some simple changes to the script, Xu Lenian left the room and went to the set.
Yang Ruoqian, who stayed in the room, boredly observed the movements in the studio through the glass window.
Watching a movie being filmed in person was a bit of a novelty at first, but after watching it for a long time, it just became like that.
Several people gathered around a bunch of props, with a green screen hanging around them, rehearsing their lines and performing stunts with machines if necessary...
If they are not satisfied with the shot, the director will ask them to do it again.
Maybe this may not be a big deal for an actor, but for an outsider, someone who is just here to join in the fun, it is really too boring.
In the corner of the room, Cui Qing, who had just answered a call, put away his phone, looked towards the studio, and said with a smile: "The girl named Shang Qianyu in General Manager Yang's company is very good. She is pretty, has a good personality, and is very motivated."
That's called lack of eyesight...
Yang Ruoqian, who had some knowledge of this girl, couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The two chatted casually and it was soon noon.
The first shot of the movie was finally finished, and Director An announced that the actors and crew could take a lunch break.
Shang Qianyu let out an excited "Woo!" and, ignoring his props and costumes, ran straight out of the set and came back with Wen Ruoxiu, holding a large cooler bag.
Yang Ruoqian also packed up his things and prepared to leave the room and go back to the company to slack off - he had read the script and was sure there were no problems, and he didn't want to stay on the set all the time.
Anyway, his presence or absence has no impact on the progress and content of the movie.
Just as Yang Ruoqian walked out of the room, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Landlord, this way, this way!"
Yang Ruoqian looked back.
In the open space on the set, Wen Ruoxiu helplessly placed the thermal bag in her hand on a table that was originally a prop.
Shang Qianyu used the scissors from the props set to cut open the thermal bag, and a few Chocolatiers rolled out of the bag, which was still emitting cold air.
After a busy morning, the crew members were tired and hungry, and their eyes suddenly lit up when their takeout food had not yet arrived.
"Xiao Shang, can I have one?"
Shang Qianyu chuckled: "I bought so much just for everyone to eat, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people who were surrounding them came up and hurriedly took the ice cream out of the thermos bag.
This stuff melts too easily, and the taste will be much worse if you open the package a few minutes later, so everyone was not polite.
"It's a big expense. How much does such a big bag cost?"
An older crew member came over, picked up an ice cream cone, and couldn't help but sigh, "You are so beautiful and kind. Is Xiao Shang dating? I want to introduce my son to you."
"Mr. Li, Xiao Shang is going to be a big star in the future, but she may not be interested in your son."
"Chocolates, it's much more cost-effective than those ice cream assassins, I like it!"
"Thank you, big boss!"
Shang Qianyu smiled sweetly, with two shallow dimples on her face, and selectively responded to these jokes: "One per person, don't take more."
At this time, Yang Ruoqian also came up, took a look at the scene, took an ice cream cone, and asked jokingly while unpacking it: "You're spending so lavishly right after getting paid? Do you have enough money in your pocket?"
The slight coolness, the bitterness of chocolate and the sweetness of sugar linger on the lips, indeed dispelling some of the fatigue.
The crew members, who were not very familiar with each other at first, soon became friends and talked and laughed.
When Shang Qianyu saw the boss coming, he quickly took out another ice cream cone from the thermos bag and said solemnly with a straight face: "This is to thank all the seniors for taking care of me!"
Maybe it’s because of her personality and appearance, but when she has a stern face she doesn’t look serious, but rather a little cute.
But after all, they were still eating someone else's ice cream cone in their mouths, so the crew members couldn't just laugh out loud, so they all pretended to be listening attentively.
Shang Qianyu coughed twice and stuffed the extra cone in his hand into Yang Ruoqian's free hand: "But the boss has taken such good care of me, you deserve my double thanks!"
Double thanks, double gifts! Yang Ruoqian was still eating the cone in his right hand, but before he had even finished half of it, another one was stuffed into his left hand.
So he stood there in a daze for a while.
Being treated specially by others is of course a very pleasant thing...but why does it feel a bit weird to have an ice cream in the left hand and another in the right hand? When the crew saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Although Yang Ruoqian was the financial sponsor and the boss, he was young after all, so everyone was not so restrained and started making jokes directly.
"Xiao Shang, how is Mr. Yang going to open the car door later if you are like this?"
"How ignorant! Mr. Yang still needs to open the car door himself?"
"By the way, is Mr. Yang single?"
“…”
Yang Ruoqian looked at Shang Qianyu with a helpless look, waved the ice cream cone in his hand and said jokingly: "Just two? Can I have one more?"
Shang Qianyu said without hesitation: "Landlord, if you want to take it, the whole bag is yours! This one in my hand is yours too!"
The landlord not only provided me with a place to stay and a salary, but also gave me the role of the lead in such an important movie when I just started working... There was even a housing allowance included in my salary, which was in effect waiving my rent.
There were no "extra" requests, nor was there any attempt to take advantage of the situation and put landmines in the agency contract when she was rejected by the two giants and was in financial difficulties.
In the entertainment industry with a lot of unspoken rules, Kuiguang Group is as clean as a paradise! Shang Qianyu bit off a chocolate on the cone and chewed it in his mouth, his shiny clothes shaking slightly.
Humph... What's a few Chocolats? (End of this chapter)
