Albert looked at the vehicles parked on the street outside the door. It was like this again today. At least four groups of paparazzi were monitoring outside. The news has been a lot of trouble recently. Even though Lance refused to respond to the paparazzi, the crew of "Fruit Hard Candy" was still in trouble. The crew members were surrounded by paparazzi, and they seemed to be eager to hear some bad words against Lance. However, the paparazzi's abacus was obviously wrong, and the six crew members of "Fruit Hard Candy" had no intention of speaking.

Fortunately, there are only two actors, Lance and Allen, in the crew, and the external influence has been reduced to the minimum. But, is Lance really okay?

"If you want to stand there and wait for the paparazzi to capture your beautiful figure, I think you need to take off your clothes." Lance's voice came over. Albert touched his nose in embarrassment, turned his head, and then saw Lance's unhappy expression. It was obvious that Lance's temper was a little irritable, and the huge pressure made the handsome eyebrows entangled together.

"Lance, are you sure you don't need to pay attention to those people outside?" Albert expressed his concerns.

"Let them wait." Lance said lightly, not taking the paparazzi to heart at all. When Dylan took the initiative to record Jessica, he didn't care; now he still didn't care, "If you want to select the standard of moral model, you should go to the church to look for it, not to come to Hollywood. Oh, no, the church is not safe now." Lance shrugged, his words full of contempt and ridicule.

This made everyone else standing next to him laugh.

Lance glared and glanced around, "Five minutes later, are you all ready? We don't have that much budget to squander!" In an instant, everyone calmed down and quickly lowered their heads to continue to be busy.

Today is that day - the moment of filming the castration scene! Lance decided to shoot in one shot. For this scene, Lance and Hayden stayed up late to design the direction of the camera and use space, and spent two days rehearsing. There were no other scenes in two days. The entire crew was rehearsing for this scene to ensure that there were no mistakes.

This is also one of the reasons why Lance never had the heart to deal with those media, otherwise Lance would have cursed the paparazzi long ago. Compared to the media, today's scene is the most important.

In the script, the castration scene occupied a total of twenty-two pages, in other words, twenty-two minutes. Since Hailey did not really want to castrate Jeff, she found various excuses to create a horror and thrilling atmosphere, so that Jeff - and the audience believed that he was really castrated. First, he was iced with ice, and then Hailey also sent an email to Ginell, and then Hailey went to the roof to confirm the length of the rope - and finally made Jeff choose to commit suicide in order to escape sin. This was an opportunity Haley had made at the beginning, and finally used a series of psychological hints such as videotapes, alcohol, and fake blood to make Jeff realize that he was going to be castrated.

The whole long twenty-two minutes were completely psychological torture, pushing the discomfort of the movie to the extreme.

Lance originally planned to use long shots in 22 minutes, which means to complete them in one shot. But considering that the difficulty is too great, it must be considered that Haley has arrived at the roof once, Lance did not intend to reveal the truth at this time, so he could not really shoot Haley's activities on the roof.

On the other hand, the process of ice cubes in the middle numbing Jeff is relatively long. If the script is thick enough and the characters are enough, Lance feels that presenting the entire ice cube in a real timeline will bring unimaginable shock and fear. But the problem is that the entire script of "Fruit Hard Candy" is still relatively weak, and there are too few characters. The dialogue between them will begin to become lengthy and boring, weakening the original atmosphere creation.

So, after comprehensive consideration, Lance decided to change his strategy.

Jeff was bound on the long table and gradually began to lose patience and confidence. All defenses were defeated, and he began to talk about the trigger point of his childhood. This line was very long, almost two minutes. After he finished speaking, Hayley began to officially "castrate". Lance decided to start with Jeff's confession and lock Jeff through the long shot. Then, in the aftermath of the camera, Hailey could see Hayley's final preparation work. The confrontation between the two gradually pushed tightly in the moving but constant shot, and reached orgasm in the final "castration" part.

The entire long shot will last up to ten to thirty seconds.

Hayden felt that his palms were sweating at this time. Lance was making the final preparations, and Allen was standing next to him, moving his limbs. Albert was confirming that there were no obstacles on the camera track. The entire crew seemed to have not many people, but it was a busy scene. Hayden couldn't help but swallowed, but found that his throat was very dry.

Although Hayden often sighed that he chose to trust and friendship and helped Lance film the "City of God", which became a turning point in his career; but every time he works, he faces severe challenges, and has upgraded again and again, and the life he once dreamed of actually came true!

The long shot of "Fruit Hard Candy" looks simple, but the difficulty is really beyond Hayden's imagination. Lance has strict requirements on the use of space, the arrangement of lights, and the changes in character positions. Moreover, since the whole movie is supported by the performances of two actors, capturing the performances of the actors has become one of the important tasks of the camera. How to find a balance between the two has become the most severe test.

Even Hayden was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

"Lance." Hayden said. As a director, if Lance could stand in front of the monitor, command, make requests, and conduct directors, then things would be much easier, because after all, he was just a photographer, not a director, he was just one of the director's efforts to achieve his goals.

Lance turned his head and seemed to notice Hayden's tightness. He raised his eyebrows, "My job is already difficult enough, you'd better not to mess it up." A joke made Hayden laugh.

This scene is very strict with Lance's test. Under the locking of long shots, it means that the plot will rely on Lance's performance to promote tension, and there is no room for retreat. Without the help of editing, the long shot will truly record every detail of the performance. What's more, the "castration" scene is the most difficult performance in the whole movie - because there is no reference object in real life.

Hayden let out a long sigh, "You'd better worry about your ball." After seeing Lance rolling his eyes, Hayden turned his head and looked at Michael and Emma who were standing next to him holding his breath, "Can you stand in front of the monitor? Lance has no way to make adjustments as soon as possible, maybe you can help."

The eyes of the two began to shine.

Hayden walked aside, adjusted his breathing, and then carried the camera on his shoulders. The whole process of one shot to the end was moving, so he could only carry the camera, not use a tripod, and many scenes required half-squatting to find a better perspective, which was also a severe test for physical strength.

Walking to Lance, Hayden began to look for the shooting angle. He half-squatted down, pressed his hips against the wall, maintained stability, and pointed the camera at Lance's upper body, "If you're ready, then we'll start!"

Lance suddenly began to breathe rapidly, his chest undulating violently, creating the appearance of having just experienced eight hundred meters of running. Then he nodded and Hayden received a signal and said loudly, "Shooting!"

Hayden looked at Lance in the camera. At this time, he was no longer Lance, but Jeff.

Jeff's face was full of fatigue. He talked to himself about the memories of his childhood, chattering, but his voice could not help but feel a layer of pain, as if he could clearly feel his soul began to curl up slowly. Hayden slowly pushed the camera forward, slowly capturing the mixed emotions between Jeff's eyebrows, a little joy, a little struggle, a little happiness, a little guilt, all emotions were in a mess, making his handsome face gradually become embarrassed, and the cowardice and fear hidden behind the mask revealed his original appearance.

Hayden's steps stopped. Jeff closed his eyes tightly, but he could vividly feel all the changes in emotions based on his voice. When the whole story was finished, Jeff opened his eyes, Hayden pushed the camera forward, and the azure blue eyes appeared before the picture, but there was no spirit, and it was calm and calm like a pool of stagnant water, and the confusion was slowly fainting.

Half a step back, Hayden slowly pulled the camera back, and then he could see a pair of hands wearing disposable surgical gloves. Hayley was ready for the operation. The camera continued to go back, and Hayley's figure gradually appeared in the field of view. Then Hayden leaned against the wall and slowly slid his body down, capturing the entire picture from bottom to top. Hayley stood at the end of the table and looked down at Jeff, like the God who read the sentence.

Jeff shook his body and tightened his hands tightly, "No." Even if he couldn't see his eyes, there was still a sharp look hidden in the short voice, just like the last struggle before death.

"I said, don't say 'no' anymore." Haley raised her eyes lightly and looked at Jeff with disdain.

Jeff was like fish on the chopping board, unable to see his expression, his eyes, or even his front, it was a piece of fish lying on the cold chopping board for slaughter. "Hailey, please!" Jeff raised his head slightly, but because his hands were completely tied, even if he used all his strength, even if his body was bent into a bow, he still couldn't fully raise his head. He could only capture Hailey's figure with his eyes, so embarrassed and humble, "You need help." Jeff said in a earnest and caring voice, "A normal girl would not do such a thing."
