The production of the song arrangement sample was completed by Lin Yuan on the same day, although it was just a simplified version. After that, he began to gradually embellish it, but that required more professional equipment and instruments. Hence, Lin Yuan spent the next few days busy with this task.
Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui also started to find some duet songs to practice their coordination for singing in a duet. In addition, they found a professional teacher within the company to guide them. Having worked with Lin Yuan before, they knew that Lin Yuan has a very high standard for recording results.
Hence, they reached a consensus on that aspect quickly, after all, they are now truly on the same boat.
The crew was still shooting "The Tuner," but it was already coming to an end with not many scenes left. Lin Yuan purposely took out a few days to accompany the crew to the moment when the filming would be over...
That's the advantage of being a scriptwriter.
He still has relatively more freedom when it comes to time.
If Lin Yuan were the director of this movie, for a few months at least, Lin Yuan would have no time for anything else. He would have to lead the crew forward every day, and might not even have time to record songs.
The last day of filming.
Lin Yuan is watching from the side on set.
This is a night scene, and following Yi Chenggong's instructions, Liu Zhengwen tumbled out. This was his first time leaving the house after he was poisoned and blinded by the female antagonist.
Liu Zhengwen bumped into an electric pole and was thrown off. Due to the camera angle, the sponge mattress tied to the electric pole was avoided using a dislocation technique. From the perspective of the lens, Liu Zhengwen genuinely bumped into it.
There was some redness on his head.
This was also a filming technique. The sponge mattress was coated with some special paint, creating a wounded effect. Immediately following that, he ran towards the opposite side of the road, but because he was blind and couldn't see, several cars had to brake urgently.
The sound of horns blended into one.
The road was blocked by his car.
Liu Zhengwen's panicked posture seemed as if he genuinely couldn't see. He almost rolled and crawled to the side of the road. The terrified tears mixed with the blood from his scratches made his state absolutely miserable at that moment. Knowing that it was fake, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a hint of sympathy...
Following Yi Chenggong's command, the shooting for this scene finally ended. In addition, with this command to stop, "The Tuner" also officially ended. The staff had already surrounded Liu Zhengwen. Despite the protection from the props, those falls he took were real.
Lin Yuan smiled, planning to walk over when he suddenly heard a commotion. Yi Chenggong's voice seemed to carry a bit of anger, "Didn't they say the clarity was good? Where's the props team, come out!"
Lin Yuan was surprised.
Yi Chenggong is not a hot-tempered person. He rarely lost his temper on set. For some reason, he was angry even though the movie was over. Therefore, Lin Yuan walked over a bit faster, "What's the matter?"
Liu Zhengwen said with a smile.
Yi Chenggong glared at Liu Zhengwen, and turned to look at Lin Yuan, trying to temper his anger, "For the authenticity of this scene, Liu Zhengwen suggested that the prop team custom make a contact lens, one that would obstruct his sight when worn. This way, he could better portray the state of a blind person. But I only found out after he'd finished acting that the prop was not done well.
When worn, the person could not see anything."
"I could still see a bit."
Liu Zhengwen tried to explain on the side.
Yi Chenggong said frustratedly, "I just tried it on myself, I couldn't see a thing. It was supposed to retain at least 60% of vision. This is as bad as having severe short-sightedness."
The person in charge of the prop team apologized in fright, "We designed it based on the standard that the sky would not be too late. Who would've known that the streetlights weren't effective, and the sky was so dark that it affected our vision..."
Liu Zhengwen said with a bitter smile, "I realized my vision was off, but I thought that the more authentic shooting would have a better effect, so I didn't stop. After all, the stunt teachers knew their limits, safety measures were in place, and I didn't get hurt. I just fell down for the sake of the effect."
Yi Chenggong wouldn't let it go.
Lin Yuan understood the situation.
Actually, it was just that the props team was slightly careless, and Liu Zhengwen allowed the mistake to slide, leading to this result. Both the actor and the prop team were responsible. However, Liu Zhengwen was ultimately too persistent with his so-called "effect." Thankfully, no problems arose.
"Let's leave it at that."
He did not let the argument escalate.
Lin Yuan is the unequivocal core of the crew, what he says holds ground. Even though Yi Chenggong was still dissatisfied with the props and the actor, he did not say much in the end, but let out a sigh,
"You're too impatient."
He was speaking to Liu Zhengwen.
After Liu Zhengwen had a car accident, his career took a big hit. He was too eager to shine, so that's why he risked it and shot this scene. In fact, throughout the filming of the entire movie, Liu Zhengwen was very determined. Sometimes, when Yi Chenggong thought a scene was passable, Liu Zhengwen would pull Yi Chenggong to shoot a few more scenes, believing that he could perform better.
Liu Zhengwen laughed, "Let's have a wrap party tomorrow, and I'll foot the bill. Consider it taking responsibility for my mistake this time. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for understanding. I was caught up in the moment just now, so I didn't stop. It's my fault."
Lin Yuan nodded his head.
Having spent quite some time on set, he had a good impression of Liu Zhengwen. Especially seeing Liu Zhengwen limp as he started to walk away, he didn't have the heart to blame him anymore. After all, the danger of this scene was getting injured.
Not too severely, that kind.
He guessed that Liu Zhengwen probably felt that since today was the last scene, even if he got injured, it wouldn't be a big problem. This was why he bore the pressure and finished the last shot of the movie.
The storm subsided for now.
Lin Yuan then reminded Yi Chenggong to pay close attention to the editing. Post-production work could not afford to be careless. Just because a movie has wrapped up does not mean that it's over. It could even be said that it has just passed halfway.
After Lin Yuan intervened, the hearts of the crowd settled down, and the crew dispersed. This was the first time Lin Yuan personally experienced the hazards of filming. It seemed that his future crew must implement a variety of safety measures.
Liu Zhengwen hadn't left yet, he just leaned over to Lin Yuan's ear and whispered a few sentences. The rough idea was not to blame the prop team too much, after all, the prop team had their own negligence as well.
Lin Yuan agreed, if the one involved was willing to take the blame, then a minor punishment for the prop team would suffice. After all, the one who fell was Liu Zhengwen himself.
"This line of work is tough."
After Liu Zhengwen's departure, Yi Chenggong's anger had subsided. He sighed, "Actually, everyone is having a hard time. I Believe that for Mr. Lin to achieve such success at a young age, there must have been lots of hard work behind it."
Lin Yuan nodded his head in agreement. His own journey to get here had not been easy either. That's right, System, isn't it?
