"Director? What do you want me to do?"
When he saw the malicious smile on Nanaya's face, Hiddleston suddenly felt his butt shiver.
After spending some time together, Hiddleston has become very clear about the character of the director in front of him.
Whenever she smiles like this, something bad is going to happen.
"Well, I'm going to slightly modify the layout of the next scene here."
Nanaya told Tom Hiddleston his thoughts, and the other person immediately pursed his lips.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"Understood."
Tom Hiddleston nodded.
"Then call them both over."
"Yes……"
Hiddleston reluctantly called Johnson and Gadot over.
After hearing Nanaya's idea, the two of them looked reluctant, because Nanaya's request caused them a lot of trouble.
Although Nanaya's request was to add more scenes to their roles, the scenes added were somewhat awkward.
After all, for actors, it is better to keep action scenes simple.
It was just that the director asked to change the play, and these young actors had no power to refuse.
"Uncle Li!"
Nanaya is an action-oriented person. After explaining things clearly to the three actors, he called in Li Tongchen from the action team and asked him to design the actions based on his new requirements.
Uncle Li is very experienced. After learning about Nanaya’s requirements, he immediately gave a feasible plan.
After a brief rehearsal of the movements, the shooting resumed.
"Act 7, Scene 24, starts now!"
As the script supervisor's voice sounded, the shooting began again.
Faced with Alexander's massive army, Hassan, played by Gadot, once again confronts Alexander.
But after just a glance, she immediately chose another target—Rider’s Master, Waver Velvet.
Rider is undoubtedly a powerful Servant, and if he were alone against this big man one-on-one, his chances of winning would be slim.
Now the enemy is still in the military formation. If I miss my attack, then everything will be over.
So Hassan naturally set her sights on another relatively easy goal.
Anyway, Hassan is an assassin, not a regular warrior, and their combat thinking is to kill their enemies at the lowest cost.
"Humph, you even forgot to protect your own Master. You are such an incompetent Servant."
Gadot chuckled as she yelled to her companions, "Cover me!"
Then Gadot began to sprint towards the goal. There was no need for much explanation, as their hundreds of appearances were originally one.
The other Hassans also knew that this was their only chance of winning, and after Hassan launched the surprise attack, the remaining Hassans also made changes.
Some of them cleared the way for Hassan, some created chaos, and some self-destructed after being injured to cause as many casualties as possible to the enemy.
Everyone is attacking for that last chance of winning.
For a while, shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" and explosions were heard one after another.
Under the guidance of several of his films, Nanaya's blasting team has become very skilled in dealing with such scenes.
Taking advantage of the properties of sand, they used a very small-scale explosion to create a dusty effect.
The scene became extremely chaotic for a moment, but this was all within Nanaya's budget.
"Fortunately, there aren't too many people here."
Whether it is Hassan or the Macedonian soldiers, the number of actors hired by Nanaya has been reduced a lot, and it is far from the scene of dozens of people fighting against thousands of troops.
On the one hand, too many people can cause chaos, and on the other hand, the cost is simply too high.
Therefore, Nanaya only chose some of the more important roles to be played by people, and Nanaya will use CGI to complete the rest of the roles in the later stage.
On the other side, Gadot had already arrived in front of Iskandar, but she just lightly slashed the warhorse.
"You!"
This move obviously angered Rider, and he swung his sword towards Hassan, but was blocked by another Hassan.
"Come on, the legendary emperor!"
Four Hassans surrounded Alexander, and one of them shouted, "Now, we have the advantage of numbers over you!"
"What a mob!"
Iskandar showed no fear at all. Instead, he smiled boldly and attacked the Hassans.
The emperor was indeed right, these Hassans were all highly skilled in martial arts and had maxed-out gymnastics talents, but they were all garbage.
After several charges back and forth on horseback, all four Hassans became dead Hassans.
“Rider————!”
There was a terrified cry from behind Iskandar.
"It's bad, kid!"
The emperor turned his head hurriedly and saw Hassan rushing towards where his master was at an extremely fast speed.
Although his soldiers tried their best to stop them, the other side charged forward without hesitation, exchanging injuries for injuries.
"Cut!"
Seeing this, Iskandar quickly turned his horse's head and chased after Hassan.
Originally according to the crew's draft, Hassan, who has a sexy body, should have worn a pair of high heels in addition to a tights.
This allows Gadot to show her most eye-catching parts in front of the camera while she is running.
But Nanaya ultimately rejected this design. The previous scenes were still okay, but this scene in the desert was a bit too much.
Even if Hollywood has special training for running in high heels, that's only on flat ground.
If you sprint in the desert wearing high heels, won't the shoes fly into your face?
So Nanaya could only use camera adjustment to make Gadot's two beautiful legs appear perfectly in front of the camera.
But even without high heels, running in the desert is obviously not a pleasant experience.
So, in Gadot's opinion, it would be best to take this shot in one go.
But things are not that simple.
As Gadot rushed in front of Tom Hiddleston, Nanaya shouted to stop.
"Cut! Again."
Nanaya's words made the actors in the three shots very confused.
But Nanaya didn't explain, he just said: "Start from the shot of Gadot sprinting, and start again after 3 minutes."
The sky is big, the earth is big, and the director is the biggest.
Since the boss has said that we should start over, of course the others can only obey Nanaya's orders.
"Why do we have to start over? There's obviously no big problem."
Elle in the rest area asked with her head tilted. After being in the crew for so many days, of course she could see that there was nothing wrong with this shot.
Shion saw some clues. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Your brother-in-law is a very bad person."
Nanaya always pointed out the problems when he made cuts in the past, but this time he said nothing. However, this actually explains more things.
Elle still didn't understand: "So, what is it for?"
Shion said mysteriously: "So you are still a child. The adult world is very complicated."
"You talk like you know everything. Is this how you run the company?"
Elle's words made Shion just smile faintly: "Then let's turn the topic back to your brother-in-law, about your lowly behavior..."
"It's totally fine, okay? What do you take me for?"
"You want to play stand-in P-lay with your sister, little girl."
Shion didn't even take a second to answer.
"I don't have any thoughts about my brother-in-law!"
"You don't even have any idea at all!" Shion opened her mouth wide, "Are you a lesbian?"
“…”
Elle finally understood that this woman was here to cause trouble on purpose, and whatever she said would be misinterpreted by her.
But there is someone on the set who is even more depressed than Ally, and that is Gadot.
"Cut! Do it again!"
When she rushed in front of Tom Hiddleston again, Nanaya shouted to stop again.
"Damn it."
Gadot shook her ponytail and returned to her original seat to wait for the filming to start again.
A few minutes later, with the crew in place again, Gadot sprinted again.
"Cut! Do it again!"
However, this time it failed again, and the shooting had to start all over again...
It is common for the director to be dissatisfied with the shooting and need to start over.
So Gadot didn't take it too seriously at first. After all, all the actors, including her, had done countless NGs before.
But when the director shouted "Cut" for the fifth time, everyone felt something was wrong.
The continuous NGs made everyone on the set feel a little tired.
Especially for Gadot, even if she wasn't wearing high heels, stepping on the sand over and over again was obviously not a pleasant experience.
In addition, her legs felt obviously numb and sore.
"Damn it, is this director a sadist? Is this just pure torture?"
When Gadot thought about how harshly the director cursed people a few days ago, she couldn't help but have this thought.
Gadot is not the only one who thinks this way, other people in the crew also feel the same way.
So after this NG, they didn't move, but looked at Nanaya quietly hoping to get some explanation.
Nanaya saw that the eagle-watching was almost over, so he finally spoke.
"Tom, Dwayne, what's going on with you two?"
Johnson and Hiddleston suddenly felt that they were bearing the angry gazes of everyone in the crew.
"I'm sorry, Director."
Although I don’t know where I made the exact mistake, I believe the director will not be wrong, so I’ll just admit my mistake first.
But Nanaya explained immediately this time: "What I need is the feeling of you, Johnson, being a hero saving a beautiful girl! One of you imagines himself as a prince charming, and the other imagines himself as a princess kidnapped by a witch!"
What kind of metaphor is this?
Nanaya's words made most of the crew burst out in laughter.
[So I am a witch! ]
The corners of Gadot's mouth twitched, and she bent down and rubbed her ankle.
At this moment, her expression under the mask was very complicated.
Although she was angry at Johnson and the other man for making her run several times, she also felt a little sympathy for them.
Precisely because she is a woman, she knows better what Nanaya's intention is.
It seems that after the movie is released, there will be a lot of fan fiction about these two, but she cares more about something else.
"When will this big fool kill me with his sword? That way I can be free."
