Chapter 199
There were many staff members in the film crew.
A full two or three hundred people.
Set designers, props, lighting, etc.
All had their own teams.
This didn't even count the leads, stand-ins, and extras.
It can be seen how strong the Hollywood film crew team is.
The photography team had twelve people.
They were a top-tier Hollywood team, led by a film special effects photographer named Stephen Wenden.
Clap clap clap!
Arriving backstage, James Wan clapped his hands.
Instantly, he attracted the group of photographers who were studying the script.
"I'll introduce you."
"This is the photography master I specially invited."
"Brother Qin."
James Wan introduced with a smile.
"Photography master?"
"Chinese?"
"Rare to see!"
"Could it be a connection from the capital side?"
"This is who Director Wan spent a lot of money to invite? So young, does he have the ability?"
They couldn't help but size Qin Mu up, all full of confusion and doubt.
Too young!
And, he was Chinese.
Does he really have this ability?
After all, there are no top photographers from China in Hollywood!
It's normal to be questioned.
However, he was too lazy to explain too much.
Everything would be spoken for by ability.
"This plot will be headed by Brother Qin as the main photographer, and what you need to do is cooperate with him in filming!"
James Wan said.
"What!"
"No way!"
"Director Wan, we have been filming the whole movie, and Norton and Watson also have three movies of experience; changing the main photographer temporarily isn't good, right?"
"Exactly, he's new, he's not familiar with the plot details yet, how could he be a good main photographer!"
"This won't do!"
As soon as this was said, everyone's expression was shocked, and they hurriedly raised objections.
Let the newcomer be the main photographer?
Not to mention his ability, just the connection between leadership and cooperation, how could they mesh well immediately?
It's simply nonsense!
"Are you the director or am I the director?"
James Wan shouted coldly.
In this movie, besides the capital side, his voice had the most weight.
And the capital side only cares about the result, not the process.
Therefore, the biggest leader at present was him!
What he says is what it is (ahef), what he says is what it is.
"But..."
Some people still wanted to persuade him.
"No need to say more."
"It's decided."
"Besides, how long have you said this plot has been filming? A full week! Do you know how many resources have been wasted?"
James Wan interrupted in a deep voice.
On the side, Qin Mu glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, every well-known director has two sides.
One side is enthusiastic towards friends, and the other side is majestic towards the film crew.
Of course, what Qin Mu has come into contact with so far has almost all been the first side.
Seeing it this time, he really felt it was a bit novel.
Sure enough, upon hearing that 'it hadn't been filmed well for over a week', everyone lowered their heads, having nothing to say.
This was indeed a difficult problem!
However, could this newcomer complete it?
"Brother Qin, you get familiar with the script first."
"In an hour, we will officially start filming!"
James Wan returned to his smiling face and said softly.
"Okay."
Qin Mu nodded.
Seeing this, everyone was both curious and envious.
They had never had this treatment!
An hour passed quickly.
During this time, besides familiarizing himself with the script he had already memorized, Qin Mu also chatted with the photography team about his thoughts on movie filming.
That group of people was worthy of being professional and top-tier; at first, they had some prejudices.
But the more they chatted, the more serious and engaged they became in their work, without any other emotions.
"Later, the main filming position will be mine, and you will be responsible for the background, extras, and other scene filming."
Qin Mu pointed to the task blueprint and said slowly.
"Brother Qin, I have to remind you!"
"Chase scenes are hard to film!"
"Just the connection of the lenses will cause quite a few troubles!"
Stephen Wenden reminded him.
He was the main photographer before, so he was responsible for this part.
Exterior scenes are easier to film, but to move with the car, he had NG'd at least a hundred times in the middle.
It wasn't that his ability wasn't enough, but it relied too much on luck.
Because of live-action filming, the photographer needs to chase with the car, so naturally, it will be affected by many factors, and the success rate of stable filming is not high to begin with.
Plus, you have to consider the completion degree of the stuntmen.
You film well, but the stuntmen make a mistake, then you have to re-film.
The stuntmen finish well, but you don't film well, then you also have to re-film.
The cooperation in between is very hard to control!
"It's okay, I have confidence."
Qin Mu smiled indifferently.
Soon, everyone was ready.
Scenes, lighting, props, extras, all were in place!
At this time, the actors also walked out slowly.
Vin Diesel, Jordana, Michelle, Johnson, Jason Statham.
All were top-tier actors well-known in Hollywood!
This scene was mainly about the protagonist Vin Diesel having just robbed an expensive piece of jewelry, while the villain Jason blocked the way, and there was a double pincer attack from soldiers, and finally, with the help of the team, he successfully escaped.
The plot was simple.
It was mainly describing the scenes of speeding, chasing, and fighting!
"Scene one, take one!"
"Action!"
The clapperboard was clapped.
Following James Wan's soft shout.
Various departments took action.
The extras also arrived in place.
"Group one, film the scene."
"Group two, film the extras."
"Group three, stand by."
"Group four, follow me."
Qin Mu transmitted orders one by one through the earpiece.
At this time, he and two photography colleagues were in a parking lot.
Beside them were Vin Diesel and Jordana.
The male and female leads of this movie.
They immediately got into character.
"Dom, what should we do now?"
Jordana was a bit panicked.
"It's okay."
"I've been prepared for a long time."
Vin Diesel smiled confidently.
He walked to a car covered by a curtain, then stretched out his muscular arm and pulled it hard.
Qin Mu pushed the lens over.
'God-level automatic capture activated!'
A silver muscle car was exposed to the air.
This is the most classic and sentimental car in *Fast & Furious*!
"Buddy, you've been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"
Vin Diesel touched the car body gently and pulled open the car door: "Get in!"
"I'll follow the main car."
"You guys film the street conditions and road situations from behind!"
Qin Mu became serious.
The main event was coming!
