Gas station, night, bright yellow light with a bit of warmth.

On the other side of the dark road, there was a sound, and then a car slowly came from the corner. The camera also rotated with the position of the car, and then watched it slowly drive in from far to near, and then moved closer.

Getting closer.

It felt like a car was about to hit me.

At this time, this lens breaks the distance, giving the audience a slightly aggressive sense of impact. Then the car turns over and stops on the side, and the camera starts to move forward with a shake, and a greeting is heard.

the sound of:

"Good evening, sir!"

"Good evening, please give me $40 for 87-octane gasoline." Then the camera turned around and there was an old white man next to him. It turned out that it was his perspective that was looking at the car just now.

"cut!"

Compared with the filming of "Buried Alive", James Wan's use of the camera has obviously improved. But at that time, it was also because of the special plot. Now, the storyboards are too exciting and the photography is too busy.

So we continued to set up and started shooting again.

Lin Hao opened the door and got out of the car, then lowered his head and said to the car: "Blueberry bread, right? Baby."

"Yes."

Amanda raised her head from the other side of the car and took a slight test. The old man happened to be facing her. There was a glimmer of light in her eyes, but she just lifted her hair:

“Blueberry Bread.”

The old man paused for a moment while holding the gas nozzle, but Lin Hao didn't pay attention, or most viewers wouldn't pay attention the first time they saw it. He had already nodded and turned around to enter the store, appearing in the opposite direction.

"cut!"

James Wan nodded and then took the microphone and shouted: "Get ready for the next show! Pay attention, this one is very important!"

...

In the past few days of filming, James Wan said that this scene was important for the first time.

why?

Well, because there is an implant in this scene.

It is also the only placement in the entire article, an advertisement for an unknown puffed potato chip manufacturer.

As far as we are talking about modern dramas, it is normal to insert advertisements. Some movies even have a heroine who opens the screen on her mobile phone and says to the person next to her: "To find a job, go to 5-8-

Just be in the same city. We can use Sogou to search, it’s so convenient!”

Well, everyone is quite familiar with this female star.

But Lin Hao's crew didn't do it this way. It would be too deliberate and would affect the viewing experience of the movie.

So at least in the movies that Lin Hao monitors, your brand's advertising products must appear several times naturally, and it's okay to clearly identify the brand, but there is no need to emphasize it forcefully.

So for this reason, they are still a horror movie, so in the end there is only this implant. I can only comfort myself that it is good. It is best not to spend money on implants.

However, the commercials you accept must be shot well.

Everyone took the time to sort it out, and what follows is a one-man show of Qin Hao in a gas station store. He will scan the potato chips, and then Lin Hao and others will buy them when they come in. Amanda will also eat them in the car.

.

As an aside, if this kind of thing happened to him, he wouldn't be able to bear it - any male friends who own cars know how crazy it would be if someone was eating cookies in your passenger seat, right?

Those remnants...

Before he finished thinking, he saw Wen Ziren calling someone there: "Mr. Lin, the manufacturer's representative wants to talk to you!"

"okay!"

As soon as Lin Hao passed by, he saw the manufacturer representative grinding away. Seeing him coming, he said in succession:

"Good evening, Lucas."

"Good evening."

"It's like this. Our boss just called and said that he hopes you will be the one eating potato chips in the car, and I hope you will look intoxicated when the time comes." The representative looked serious.

"..."

Lin Hao felt a row of black lines circling from his forehead to the back of his head, but he continued regardless: "We checked that you don't have any relevant product endorsements, so we will give you an additional 20% of the advertising fee."

.”

"...make a deal!"

...

There was a small ups and downs, but in the end he had to return to filmmaking. Lin Hao finished his role today, but as a producer he basically worried about everything big and small. When Amanda returned to the hotel, he still stayed there. He touched about half of the time.

Hours later, everything was finally checked, and only some shots of Qin Hao’s store were taken.

After all, there are still some people coming to this gas station during the day, so according to the requirements of the town residents, they can only shoot after 9 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and before 6 am the next morning...

Yes, it’s just that everything is so detailed. It doesn’t matter if there are problems in foreign countries where these are clearly written. It’s just that the time is not convenient, so it’s best to finish filming early and finish things early.

Dang Hao, who was very sleepy after running all day, and Niu Qingfeng, who had diarrhea from some unknown source, reluctantly insisted on watching their classmate's first scene. On the contrary, Huang Bo was very excited: study more, study more! The gap is too big!

Once he started filming, he no longer felt bored. Anyone can learn! So he worked for a while, and then he heard the scene manager and shouted:

"3,2,1,action!"

Start shooting.

This set of shots here is both simple and difficult: it captures Lane's daily work in the store, mostly in the air, but it is very important when you want to capture people.

The camera slowly passes by the rows of shelves, and a melodious song is playing in the store. If you know it, you will understand that it is "They Don't Make Them" by Kenny Rogers (They are no longer like they used to be)

).

This is old music from about twenty years ago.

But the next song is older, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" by Tony T, from the 1960s.

The camera scanned the store shelves, and in turn, it scanned a wooden cashier. It didn't have advanced equipment, but an old-fashioned cashier. It had some decorations that were popular decades ago in the last century, and slowly...

What came into view was not an old white man, but a young man.

Still an Asian.

He swayed slowly and gently to the music, but calmly, as if this was just an ordinary day in the last century.

...

Lin Hao couldn't understand much about this set, but for the Americans in the crew, especially the older cameramen, it almost contained some popular elements from the 1970s.

I believe many older people will understand it at a glance.

If it weren't for the subsequent plot, one would probably think that this is a young man who likes the culture of the last century. After all, it is not that no one listens.

But combined with the truth behind...

There are strong hints here, such as the song title, Chinese people with old white people's habits, young people with old people's tastes, slow movement rhythm, etc...

Another example:

After Peter came in to buy something, he felt that the waiter's movements were lifeless and slow. The old man who was outside just now hurriedly came in and said that he was new here and was not used to it. So after the audience finished watching, it was not difficult to think of this tip in hindsight, which was wonderful.
Chapter completed!
