After finding the necklace, Jin Tang and Bai Lu went down the mountain in the dark. Then, they encountered an accident. In order to save the female lead, Jin Tang accidentally rolled down the mountain and sprained his ankle. He couldn’t walk for a while.
Bai Lu felt very guilty. During their conversation, the misunderstanding between the two of them was finally resolved. Jin Tang took the opportunity to confess his feelings and the two of them finally confirmed their relationship.
This was the scene they were filming tonight.
As the production team did not have the money to build a dilapidated temple, they simply found a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for a long time on a nearby mountain. They got the props team to tidy it up and use it as a scene.
The entire production team finished their dinner early. Before the sun set, they started moving the machines up the mountain to prepare. When it was dark, they started filming in the dilapidated temple.
In the end, because there was no electricity on the mountain, the dilapidated temple was completely dark. The lights they brought were insufficient, and there was not enough light, so the camera shots seemed dark.
Bai Chao tried to move the light several times against the limited equipment, but the scenes still could not work.
Yu Han walked to the cameras and looked at the shots she had taken previously. She realized that the images were actually still very clear. It was not bad.
However, she also knew what Bai Chao was dissatisfied with. They were filming an idol drama and had to pursue the beauty of the scenes, especially when it was such an important scene in the drama. They would definitely make it as beautiful as possible.
In the end, the photos were so ugly and the environment was so dark in such a critical scene. What kind of idol drama was that?
With this delay, the scenes that were originally expected to be completed at around 10 pm were delayed until past 8 pm and the first scene had yet to be filmed.
Bai Chao was obviously a little anxious when he saw this state. He shouted, “The camera here is too dark. Add another board reflector!”
However, the lighting technician was also in a dilemma. “Director, we only brought two board reflectors. We’ve already used them up!”
Bai Chao was very frustrated. “Since you know that we have to film a night scene, why didn’t you bring extra board reflectors?”
The lighting technician was even more frustrated than him. “Don’t you know how many board reflectors there are in your production team?”
Bai Chao almost choked on his words. Yes, their poor production team only had two board reflectors.
Previously, because the drama was filmed at a tourist attraction, there were lights everywhere and the lighting wouldn’t be too dark. They could film after adjusting the light slightly, so even though they had fewer searchlights and board reflectors, it was still enough.
When they suddenly came to a dilapidated temple, their production team’s equipment seemed to be stretched in an environment that lacked light.
Bai Chao looked at the dark environment around him and kept rubbing his thinning forehead. “Then what should we do? There are no lights or board reflectors. What should we film? We can’t film it!”
After filming like this, all the scenes tonight could not be used. It would only be a waste of time if they continued filming.
Bai Chao was a little discouraged. “Then we can only prepare it tomorrow and reshoot it!”
When the staff heard this, they were immediately furious.
This place was remote. There was only a small mud path less than a meter wide on the mountain. It was narrow and steep, and cars could not get up at all. They could only walk up manually.
In order to move these cumbersome machines up the mountain, they had spent a lot of effort, so they really did not want to experience it again. Hence, a staff member suggested, “Director, why don’t we get someone to buy equipment overnight and send them up the mountain? We’ll strive to stay up all night and finish filming these few scenes so that we won’t have to suffer again tomorrow.”
Bai Chao thought to himself that he did not want to cause trouble either. However, not to mention whether he could buy anything in the city at this time, the most important thing was, “Are you going to pay for the equipment?”
The staff did not dare to make a sound.
That’s right. Not only was their production team poor, but the director was also stingy. It was basically impossible for them to spend more money for nothing.
They fell into a deadlock.
Yu Han poked Bai Chao’s arm. “This can’t go on. Why don’t you contact Director Sun and see if you can borrow some equipment from their production team?”
Bai Chao naturally had also thought of this method, but he felt that it was a little embarrassing to ask his senior brother, so he kept hesitating if he should open his mouth and ask.
However, when he saw that the staff on the scene more or less revealed the meaning of “uncooperative in a non-violent manner”, Bai Chao started to have a headache.
The staff in the production team were all old friends with him, so they came to help him at a friendly price. Bai Chao could not be too harsh on them.
Hence, when Yu Han handed him a way down, he heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to agree, a voice suddenly came from not far away..
