One Hundred and Twenty-One-Cantonese Cuisine

"Have a rest and continue in the afternoon!"

Controlling such a large crew made Zack Snyder feel overwhelmed. After every failed shooting, he could not control his violent temper and was unfamiliar with the coordination of various types of work.

This is a completely different profession than shooting commercials. There are too many things to consider in film production.

"Let Robert go back to take charge of the camera. I will coordinate the shooting issues of various departments. You must come back and direct all of us!" Zack Snyder stared at the actor being supported by his agent in the distance before he realized that he was too immature. , ignoring too many issues.

"Have you thought about it? Zach!"

In fact, since the third NG, he has understood Zack Snyder's current ability. His talent is definitely very high, but he is too idealistic and takes it for granted.

This is not a completely cooperative crew. Everyone is slowly looking for points of cooperation. The more pressure Zack Snyder puts on the crew, the greater the probability of making mistakes.

To put it bluntly, this thing is completely different from controlling and coordinating a crew of more than ten or twenty people to shoot a simple commercial.

"I've thought about it, I'm not a genius like you. I need more learning and experience before I can consider that position." He shook his head, and the cold reality he suddenly recognized made Zack Snyder extremely Frustrated.

He originally thought that he was just missing a chance. As long as good luck came, he would definitely skyrocket with his directorial talent.

But now, it is obvious that he is blinded by pride!

"Okay, Zach, participate in this film with your heart and participate in the entire production process of a film. It will be more enriching than any other experience." Looking at the scattered rest of the people around him, Wayne was also ready to have something to eat. .

"Also, don't squeeze actors like that, especially your leading actor! Nicolas Cage's performance this morning was great. Go talk to him when you have time. If you change this to a more famous star, the filming will never last. Two hours.”

After saying that, he didn’t care that Zack Snyder didn’t understand, and turned around and walked straight to the director’s trailer. This kind of trailer is still exclusive to Hollywood crews, because it is very convenient to get out on location.

In more than ten years, this kind of crew trailers will gradually appear in the entertainment circles around the world and become exclusive to big stars and directors.

"Actually, you don't need to come over. Your role won't be available for at least half a month." Halle Berry, who was helping arrange lunch in the trailer, turned around and saw Wayne coming up and giving him a sweet smile.

Halle Berry picked up the water glass and handed it to him. After he sat down, he said, "Then why should I go? Are you staying in the hotel all the time? Why don't you come over and watch the filming? You know, I don't know much about these things." Understand."

Wayne raised his head and drank the water and ignored this woman. She was free to do whatever she wanted, and now he didn't have too much energy to waste on her.

The lunches customized by the crew's logistics are average in taste, but they always satisfy people. Nina knows her boss's style, and if she can enjoy it, she will never wrong herself.

So she specially drove to Chinatown in the lower part of Manhattan, asked the locals and chose a Chinese restaurant. If her boss thought it was good today, she would ask them to deliver the food on time starting tomorrow.

Faced with a high tip that exceeded the original meal cost, Nina successfully persuaded the fat Chinese boss from across the Pacific.

The little assistant learned this from his boss's attitude towards Cameron Diaz. As long as he can make himself more comfortable, Wayne does not lack Franklin who pays a little more.

"Boss, how about giving it a try." Nina proudly pointed to several lunch boxes on the table. "I specifically told the fat boss to make Chinese-style dishes instead of changing them to cater to the market."

"Looks good!" Wayne picked up the chopsticks skillfully and took the first bite of the famous Cantonese roast goose. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten this. Hella's husband learned how to make simple Chinese pastries. , but they definitely can’t do these things.

The fat boss mentioned by the assistant is probably a first-generation immigrant. The Cantonese cuisine is very good and is completely made in Chinese style. This is very rare here. After all, Americans are not used to eating pure Chinese food.

Roast goose, barbecued pork, steamed sea bass, boiled kale, garlic choy sum, two cages of custard buns, two cages of steamed shrimp dumplings, and a large portion of dry-fried beef river. Wayne tried them all and showed his affection to his assistant. Thumbs up.

Seeing her proud look, Wayne didn't expose her. This kind of ordering habits and techniques were obviously Chinese and absolutely impossible for an American girl to match.

"Okay, you guys eat, I have to prepare for the afternoon work." Putting down the small bowl in his hand, Wayne said hello to the two women and got out of the trailer.

After he walked down, Halle Berry breathed a sigh of relief and spat out the roast goose in his mouth. "Oh my God, why does he like to eat such weird-tasting things? These things are not as delicious as the Chinese food made by Hela's husband!"

"Don't force yourself, Harry." Nina was actually not used to eating Chinese food, but she wouldn't show off in front of Wayne. She wouldn't eat it if she didn't like it. Thinking of Nina, a fellow woman, she said something more. "You don't have to do this."

The working atmosphere suddenly changed in the afternoon, and the cooperation between various departments on the crew was no longer impatient. Wayne's expressionless but never angry face, always hidden behind the monitor, made most people feel at ease. .

Countless trials and errors in the morning were still effective. In addition, Zack Snyder returned to a familiar position, and his coordination ability was also very good after the pressure was gone.

"Cut! This one passed!" Wayne shouted after watching the replay behind the monitor. Although Nicolas Cage was a bit of a jerk when he was young, his acting talent is really great.

Wayne looked at his watch, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Zach, let the extras come in, be careful to tell them about the positioning, we'll take one more shot, and call it a day!"

In fact, he thought that this very difficult one-man show would be good if it could be filmed before dark. The purpose of arranging such a difficult scene was not only to get Nicolas Cage into the mood quickly, but also to get along with the crew.

If he had followed his previous method, he would have focused on simple indoor scenes first, but this time the time was tight, so he had to start with the more difficult ones.

The extras quickly entered the scene, and the street immediately became full of pedestrians. The two male actors playing police officers were also ready above the stairs.

"'Joker', first line, second act, start!"

With the sound of slapping the board, everyone began their silent and busy work again. The plot of this scene is very simple, as long as Nicolas Cage runs a few revealing scenes, and then Li Guohao will help him complete it.

This is the greatest role of a stand-in, which can minimize the chance of injury to the main character.

To put it bluntly, if an unimportant low-level person is injured, the most they can do is give some money and medical treatment. But if the male protagonist of the crew is injured, hundreds of people will have to wait for him indefinitely, which will cause too much damage.

"Cut, no problem! Zach, pack up the film and put it in the safe in my room. Karen, organize everyone to call it a day!"

Under the temptation of leaving get off work early, a simple shot was completed perfectly in two takes. The crew actually completed the first day's work quite well.

Because Wayne's own plan was just to polish that one shot. At least now the main shot of this street was finished, and he ticked the second page of the shooting plan.

It was not yet five o'clock, and no one expected to get off work early. Although they didn't like the ice face that Wayne turned into as soon as he got to work, they liked his style of keeping his word.

"Should we change the shooting plan?" John automatically disappeared from the crew as soon as they started shooting, and would come out after the shooting was over. He knew that he should never intervene in a job that he was not good at, otherwise he would only make a mess.

"I have been observing Nicolas Cage. After you danced that dance, he was obviously inspired to refuse to admit defeat, and his condition was simply excellent. If it were not for the drag of the crew, he could have filmed more today. A lot of scenes.”

Wayne shook his head and put away his two most precious notebooks. "No need to change, John. You have to know that not only the behind-the-scenes work needs to be adjusted in conjunction with the actors, but the actors also have to cooperate with the entire behind-the-scenes team."

While packing up his belongings and giving them to Nina, he chatted with John. "Only when everyone gets along well will the progress of the later stages be accelerated. There are still many difficult parts of this film."
