Chapter 400 400, Follow the Master

"What are you thinking about?"

At nine o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Qin Long, Xia Yu, He Bing, and Zhang Mo practiced their positions in the desert, while Wang Fei, who was also wearing a space suit, was lazy and quietly slipped behind Sun Hao, covered his eyes with his big palms, and said with a smile:

"Director, tell me, what are you thinking about?"

"Thinking of you!"

"Tsk, boring."

Wang Fei raised his arms and lowered his voice: "I went to knock on your tent door last night, but you didn't even dare to open it."

Puff...

Sun Hao wanted to vomit blood.

My buddy and Qin Long live in the same tent, but you came to knock on the door in the middle of the night, what are you doing? !

Of course, Sun Hao knew the limits and knew that he couldn't talk about this kind of thing in public, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Sister Fei..."

"Hmm?"

"What do you think is the difference between me and Hollywood director James Cameron?"

"There is a big difference between you and him."

Wang Fei likes the movie "Titanic" very much. According to Liu Jialing, she watches it when she has nothing to do at home, and she cries while watching it. Therefore, Wang Fei also has some research on "Truck Driver".

"First, Cameron is older and you are younger;

Second, Cameron is a tyrant on the set, beating and scolding actors at will, while you rarely lose your temper;

Third, Cameron's achievements are relatively high at present. The global box office of "Titanic" alone is close to 2 billion US dollars, and your several movies combined have not reached this number.

..."

Wang Fei has good eloquence and clear logic. She said more than a dozen points, but none of them touched Sun Hao's heart.

When she stopped, Sun Hao touched his chin with his hand and shook his head gently.

"Sister Fei, you still didn't get to the point!

I think the biggest difference between me and my idol James Cameron is that I have always controlled the budget well when making movies, and I have never asked investors to make additional investments.

But now, I plan to learn from him about this..."

"Ah..."

Wang Fei opened her mouth in surprise.

"Director, isn't the budget for "The Martian" already 120 million US dollars? Isn't that enough?"

Standing up from the director's chair, Sun Hao clapped his hands.

"Sister Fei, I'm not talking about this movie, but the movie "Fast and Furious" that will be filmed in February next year. I plan to play a big one and directly increase the budget of 70 million US dollars to 150 million US dollars.

I want to invite Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cameron Diaz to play supporting roles for our mainland actors in this movie?

Who doesn't want to come..., humph, I'll kill him with money."

After saying that, Sun Hao took out his mobile phone and started editing text messages in Chinese and English.

Looking at Sun Hao's back, Wang Fei was dumbfounded. What had happened to this guy today? Was it because of the imbalance of yin and yang?

Otherwise, why would he do so many things?

However, I really like what he said. Why should Chinese actors play supporting roles for Hollywood stars, while I have to do the opposite?

Just as I was thinking about it, Li Yu, the executive deputy director of the crew, shouted in front with a handheld megaphone.

"Sister Fei, Sister Fei, come here quickly. The first scene of The Martian in the Wadi Rum Desert is about to start shooting."

………

"Action!"

"Okay, team members, please stay in each other's sight!"

"Let the National Space Administration be proud of us?"

"Tang Ren, what are the results of your visual inspection?"

"You will be very happy to hear that. The soil in squares 14 to 28 is very rough, but the soil in square 29 is much better, which is very suitable for chemical analysis."

Qinglong, wearing a space suit, was standing next to the huge flight base and was busy shoveling soil into the bag while sharing the situation with teammates through the communication system in the space suit.

"Wow, did you hear that?

Tang Ren said that the soil here is very suitable for planting."

"Martin, how could that be?

I said it is very suitable for chemical analysis. As for whether plants brought from Earth can be planted? That depends on the results of the analysis!"

...

"OK, passed!

But, Zhang Mo..."

"Director, got it, go ahead."

Although the space suit used for filming is a semi-finished product made by the National Space Administration for testing, the communication system inside is still good, and you can talk to Sun Hao over a long distance without taking off the hood.

"For the next scene, make a temporary change.

You don't need to be 20 meters away from the rocket launch tower. Instead, walk to the bottom of the rocket launch tower and look up. This way, the main camera can better capture the contrast between you and the rocket launch tower prop!"

"OK!"

"Wang Fei..."

"I'm here, director."

"You are the captain. You should keep your body straight. Don't lean forward slightly out of habit. If you lean forward, the filming will not reflect your majesty as the captain at all."

"OK!"

"Brother He Bing..."

"I'm here?"

"When you spoke just now, the drama lines were too strong. I hope you can be more casual when you speak next. After all, we are all colleagues. Don't speak in a pretentious manner."

"Okay, director, I will pay attention to this habit!"

After receiving everyone's reply, Sun Hao nodded to Hamdan. That's right, this top student from the London School of Economics and Political Science has become the script supervisor of the crew of "The Martian".

Hamdan received the signal and immediately shouted in authentic London accent:

"Action!"

"Old buddy, keep an eye on the ascending rocket, it's the guy responsible for our safe return home!"

After putting the soil into the bag, sealing it, and looking up into the distance, Qin Long joked with Zhang Mo.

On the other side, Zhang Mo also laughed.

"Tang Ren, I'm glad you know the importance of visual inspection of equipment to ensure the success of the mission!"

Although he was joking, Zhang Mo's movements were not slow at all. Under the ascending rocket launch tower, he quickly confirmed the status of various equipment.

"Hey, guys, I'm very happy to report to you that the launch rocket has not fallen yet!"

Wang Fei, waving the axe in his hand, kept hitting things on the ground, as if checking the hardness of the rocks on the surface of Mars.

After hitting it several times, he frowned and looked at it, then stopped what he was doing and said:

"Hey, Tang Ren, stop it. Are you just going to keep the communication channel open so that Martin can continue to chat with you?"

...

"OK, passed!"

This two-minute scene is really not difficult. It's nothing more than everyone talking and laughing while working. It doesn't require any advanced acting skills.

Therefore, since there is no problem in the director's monitor, Sun Hao directly let everyone pass it. There is no need to worry about the shot without any problem.

"Director, what's next?"

"Next..., next we will shoot the "cabin scene" when Wang Fei, Zhang Mo, He Bing, and Xia Yu leave the surface of Mars. But, Lao Feng..."

Speaking of this, Sun Hao paused and waited for the response of prop master Feng Qixiao.

"Yes."

"Lao Feng, notify the staff in your group to prepare four high-power blowers in advance. When it gets dark tonight, we will immediately shoot the scene of the Martian storm."

"Okay!"

After hearing Sun Hao's arrangement, Feng Qixiao turned around and went to work.
