Chapter 6 Interim Director
Chapter 6 Interim Director
The director, Alan Aikush, had already slipped to the ground, his long neck was leaning on the director's chair, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he looked exhausted.
"Alan, Alan!" "Twin" Joe Dante yelled in fright, ran up to the director, and was about to grab the director with his hand, "What's wrong with you, Alan?"
Ronald stepped forward and hugged Joe. "Don't touch him indiscriminately. We don't know what disease the director has. This may aggravate his condition. I have learned first aid, let me see."
Handing Joe to Jim who ran over, Ronald stepped forward to support the director who was lying on the ground, and began to check the situation.Put your finger under your nose.Fortunately, there was a weak but continuous breathing, the arteries in the neck, and a pulse.Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jenny, Jenny! Come and help me!" Ji Ni ran over, "Here, help me hold his head with both hands." Seeing that Jenny helped him, Ronald got up and moved the director's chair away, and then took over from Jenny to hold his head. Director Allen lay flat on the ground.He unbuttoned his shirt, opened his mouth and looked, but luckily there was no vomit.
Don't worry, it's fine.Ronald got up and took off his jacket, folded it in half, and put it under the director's neck, keeping his head open for airway.
"Pulse and breathing are fine, maybe he fainted from overwork." Ronald announced to everyone who came around, "Please don't form a circle, please step back 10 feet, and let the director keep ventilation! Thank you. "
After persuading everyone to leave, Ronald discussed with the twins Joe Dante standing in the inner circle, Field Recorder Jenny, and his assistant Jim.
"I'm going to call 911. It's not convenient for the director to move now. I'll take care of it here. Joe can continue..."
"No, No, don't call 911." The twin Joe Dante seemed to have recovered, "Don't call 911, we will drive him to the hospital."
"Huh? Aren't you members of the Directors Guild (DGA)? You have health insurance?"
"It's not an insurance issue... In short, you listen to me, and we will deliver it ourselves"
Ronald exchanged glances with Jim, Jenny and the others, "Okay, since you said so, I'll drive the car in."
Joe Dante took his car keys out of his trouser pocket and handed them to Ronald, "Silver Ford Grenada."
Running out of the high school quickly, there were a lot of cars parked in a haphazard manner in the parking lot at the gate, and I couldn't find where the cars were parked at a glance.
"Hi, Ronnie." A person stuck his head out of the window of the crew's van, "Where are you going in a hurry?" It was Chris, the driver of the crew.
That's right, the driver of the film crew stops here to watch the car during the day, and has nothing to do. It's better to let him drive the van, otherwise the director's height of nearly two meters is not easy to fit.
"Exactly, hurry up, drive the van in, the director has passed out, we have to be sent to the hospital."
The driver Chris hurriedly put down the loft magazine in his hand and started the Chevrolet van.Ronnie climbed into the co-pilot, "Joe asked us to take Director Allen to the hospital, you and I have a hard time."
The Chevrolet van pulls into the school and screeches to a stop next to the camera.Ronald jumped out of the car in one step, opened the back door of the van, "Get on here" and then jumped into the car, caught the director's head inside, and the assistant director behind supported Director Alan's feet, "One, two, three !” Together, the two forcefully moved the director to the ground in the back compartment of the van.
The assistant director stayed in the car to take care of Alan.
Ronald jumped out of the car and closed the rear door. "Where's Joe?" asked the DP, "I'll give him the key back."
"I'm here," came Joe Dante's voice from the front of the car.
Ronald handed the keys to Joe, and Joe Dante nodded to him, opened the passenger door, and was about to get in.
"No, how can we shoot when you go?" Ronald was stunned.
"I have to send him to the hospital. The assistant director will go with me, you and Dean seize the time of the magic light, shoot these few shots according to your storyboard, and then call the boss, he will arrange it." Said Seeing Joe look at the director of photography next to him, "Dean, are you okay?"
The director of photography nodded and made an OK gesture.The assistant director got into the car, and the Chevrolet van made a U-turn and drove towards the school gate.
Ronald yelled at the van: "Wait, which hospital are you going to?"
"Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills..." Joe's voice drifted over.
Ronald has not yet reacted from this miraculous operation.Jim patted Ronnie on the shoulder, "Hey, did you hear that, Joe Dante trusts your storyboards very much. I just said, you draw so detailed, just find someone to take your picture It’s just a split shot.”
Ronald looked at Jim, unable to tell him the truth.
He picked up the electric horn and started shouting to the extras: "Everyone, let's continue filming. Reset, reset each group, and we will do it again immediately."
Then he ran behind the camera and asked the director of photography: "Mr. Candy, how long can we shoot with this magic light?"
"I can still take one before sunrise. I can probably take two after sunrise."
He turned his head and said to Jim: "Quick, I want 10-1, you should keep an eye on it first." Then he ran into the teaching building quickly.
On set, 10-1 was the code word to go to the bathroom.Ronald rushed all the way to the bathroom.Facing the mirror in the bathroom, he turned on the faucet and poured cold water on his face with his hands.
"Ronald, you can do it!"
"This is an opportunity, you can definitely seize it."
"As long as the filming is finished, Mr. Roger Coleman, the boss, will put your name on the subtitles."
Ronald made a few self-suggestions.After wiping his face with his hands indiscriminately, there were still drops of water on his eyebrows and beard, and he ran out of the teaching building.
The group performances have been reset. Dai Yang, who played the good girl, stood in front of the welcome stage of the Science Society, and the actors of the rugby team and freshmen also took their positions.
Ronald walked up to Dai Yang and smiled: "Dai, we need another one to ensure that there are enough films for editing. What do you think of your performance?"
Wearing a pair of big black-rimmed glasses, Dai Yang didn't know how to answer this question, "Well, I think the main character, Kate, is a good girl. She would be a little at a loss when she encounters a freshman bullied by the football team, so I Mainly play this emotion."
"Fine, you're doing great. Other than that Kate isn't like the girls on the cheerleading squad, she doesn't socialize with the stars of the football team, so I thought maybe she'd take a half step back from those muscle bars. What do you think?"
"Wow, I didn't know Ronnie you could act. You're right."
"No, I'm just on the sports team in high school, and I want to date high school bullies like Kate, but they avoid me."
"Hahaha……"
Ronald guided Dai Yang according to the film he had dreamed of.
Seeing Dai Young relaxed, Ronnie walked back and asked the director of photography: "Mr. Candi, what do you think? Can we start?"
"No problem, you give the order."
"Attention everyone, we will start filming now."
Jenny started playing again "127 rounds, the first shot, the second..."
Ronald picked up the electric speaker: "Recording...camera..."
"Action!"
Maybe it's a new acting method, maybe it's because the group performers are more proficient after the last performance.Ronald felt that this shot was better than Allen's.He looked at the director of photography Dean Candie: "How does it work?"
"Very good, this one can pass."
"Jim, Mr. Candie says it's all right. Print this and the last one."
"Ok, no problem."
Jim also took over the job of first assistant director after Ronald was promoted to interim director.At the end of the two lines on the shooting log, mark the words "printed".
The film used for shooting is a negative film, and after being developed, it has to be reprinted into a positive film to be viewed.In order to save costs, the general director will indicate which shots need to be kept and which ones should not be discarded.
The camera crew is back in action.
