Chapter 429

Lin Mo and everyone chatted idly for a while.

He clapped his hands and said: "Get ready, get ready, this scene is about to start filming!"

This scene has no parts for Jason, Cheng Long big brother, or Bei Er.

Only Heath Ledger.

So, everyone is just here to watch the excitement.

All that could be seen was Lin Mo standing on the filming set, holding a walkie-talkie.

"All departments, get ready!"

Soon, his voice spread through the entire set via the walkie-talkie.

The film crew's cinematographers, gaffers, props department, special effects team, and other departments quickly got ready.

Lin Mo walked to the monitor, carefully checked each shot's composition and lighting, then turned to Assistant Director Chen Xing and Yan Xu and said: "The pacing of this scene needs to be a bit faster, so later the shot cuts should be clean and decisive, especially the part where the robbers kill each other—I want to feel that tension and oppression. Understand?"

Hearing this, Chen Xing quickly nodded: "Understood, Director Lin, we've already set up the camera positions according to your storyboard; the shots will capture the robbers' actions from multiple angles, ensuring every frame has tension."

On the set, he and Yan Xu both call him Director Lin.

In formal occasions, one should address by title.

Then Yan Xu added: "Director Lin, we've confirmed with the special effects team that the gunfire and explosion effects will be enhanced in post-production; on set we'll use blanks and smoke machines to simulate the real effect."

Lin Mo nodded satisfied: "Good, remember—the Joker's entrance should be low-key but full of threat; Heath Ledger's performance is the most crucial, the camera must slowly push in, giving a sense that he is everywhere."

After saying that, Lin Mo picked up the walkie-talkie: "All actors in position, get ready to start!"

Chen Xing and Yan Xu cheered up.

Being an assistant director is like this.

Actually, put simply, it's just the director's assistant.

At the center of the set.

Heath Ledger stood to the side, holding the Joker's mask in his hand, his eyes already revealing a temperament of madness and calm combined.

All that could be seen was him taking a deep breath, putting on the mask, and instantly entering the role.

Lin Mo watched the monitor and shouted: "Action!"

With Lin Mo's command, filming officially began.

The camera swooped down from a high aerial view outside the bank, slowly pushing in as the robbers, wearing masks and armed, rushed into the bank.

Their movements were clean and efficient, with clear division of labor, obviously carefully planned.

Lin Mo stared intently at the monitor, focused.

He occasionally used the walkie-talkie to direct the cinematographer to adjust the camera angle, ensuring every action was perfectly captured.

Just as filming had barely begun, Lin Mo suddenly shouted: "Cut!"

"Everyone stop, the shot from camera three is a bit off, readjust it!"

Hearing that.

The cinematographer in charge of camera three quickly adjusted the position; after Lin Mo confirmed again, he shouted: "Continue!"

Then filming continued.

The robbers began their operation inside the bank, following the Joker's plan, they started killing each other.

Each robber's death was dramatic, with quick cuts, tension gradually escalating.

Cheng Long big brother, Bei Er, and Jason stood to the side, eyes fixed on the filming process.

Cheng Long big brother quietly said to Jason: "The camera scheduling is impressive, the pacing of this scene is also very strong; audiences will surely be drawn in by this opening scene."

Jason nodded: "Yeah, especially the Joker's design—having the robbers kill each other one by one until only he remains—this technique is really brilliant!"

Bei Er also chimed in with a smile: "Lin, his control over details is truly impeccable, no wonder his movies are always so successful."

Just like that.

This scene quickly reached its climax.

That is, the final ending of the first scene.

The moment the Joker takes off his mask.

On the monitor.

Heath Ledger, playing the Joker, slowly removed the mask, revealing a face filled with a mad grin.

"Camera, push in!"

From the walkie-talkie came Lin Mo's voice.

Hearing that.

The cinematographer hurriedly slowly pushed the camera in, capturing the coldness and mockery in Heath Ledger's eyes.

"I. n'；.... stranger."

"(I believe that which doesn't kill you only makes you... strange.)"

This line of dialogue was delivered.

"Cut!" Lin Mo immediately shouted: "This part is over, Heath's performance was superb!"

Heath Ledger let out a breath and smiled.

However, his face painted with Joker makeup, when he smiles the corners of his mouth crack open—goodness, looking at it really is a bit creepy.

Lin Mo walked over and patted his shoulder: "Nice work, heath, you nailed the vibe."

Heath Ledger chuckled: "Thanks, I'll keep working hard."

Then Lin Mo turned to face the entire crew and said: "This scene was shot well, everyone's worked hard!"

Cheng Long big brother walked over, smiling, and said to Lin Mo: "Mozi, you shot this scene brilliantly!"

Lin Mo smiled, then loudly said to the crew: "Did you hear that? Cheng Long big brother's encouragement means our efforts weren't in vain."

Most of the crew were Lin Mo's old team.

They are all Huaguo people, naturally they understand We need to output lines: English.

Everyone was smiling happily.

"You little brat!" Cheng Long bro laughed and punched Lin Mo's shoulder.

At that moment, Bell and Jason also walked over, Bell looked at Lin Mo and said: "Lin, isn't it time to treat us to a meal?"

Jason also added: "Lin, you just promised it with your own mouth, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo laughed and shook his head: "You two, all you think about is eating. Fine, tonight I'll treat everyone, let's go together!"

Everyone heard it and burst into cheers.

In the afternoon, they continued filming several more scenes.

The filming progress was relatively fast.

After all, they are all veteran actors.

Evening.

Lin Mo, who had worked hard all day, led everyone to a restaurant.

Everyone sat together in a circle, the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.

Cheng Long bro raised his glass, laughing: "Come, let's all toast Director Lin—he's been working hard these days!"

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison: "Cheers!"

Lin Mo looked at everyone, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Tomorrow they have to film, they naturally know the limit, so they stopped at that point.

Damn, they were drinking red wine; for Lin Mo and Cheng Long, who are used to baijiu, it was like drinking a beverage.
