On the way to Mono Town, Zhou Chen was always a little uneasy.

A group of them, counting four bodyguards and three actors, is a total of 13 people, and the remaining six people are Zhou Chen's previous filming team for "This Man".

Seeing the three actors sitting in the car in front of them stupidly all the way, looking forward to filming a witch-related documentary this time, Zhou Chen was quite satisfied, but thinking of the phone call between Qiao Fei and Gu Xiaojiao before, he couldn't ignore it.

The so-called good news and bad news are actually the same thing.

Zhou Chen really didn't expect that the second generation of stars was really willful and courageous enough, and he actually did this in order to chase Gu Xiaojiao.

Zhang Qisheng obviously loves this son very much.

After listening to Gu Xiaojiao's general situation about Zhang Xuyang, Zhou Chen understood that Zhang Qisheng was more to make up for his debt to his son, so he did not hesitate to use his old face to help his son do this.

With his understanding of a passer-by, with Zhang Qisheng's character and style, it is indeed a bit surprising.

But Tang Film Company met Zhang Qisheng and asked Zhang Xuyang to bring money into the group, which was naturally a personal favor.

After all, the actor's popularity and connections are something that their company can't ignore.

In this regard, Zhou Chenren has no choice but to return to China after filming the movie as soon as possible.

As for Gu Xiaojiao's saying that he really couldn't delay, or even breach the contract, Zhou Chen didn't say anything about it, it was a tacit agreement.

If it was normal filming, he didn't want to see this situation, not to mention that Zhang Xuyang obviously had an intention?

It's a big deal that after the breach of contract, if you compensate for the loss, can you still suffer this kind of anger in vain?

…………

After a three-day journey, Zhou Chen and his entourage arrived in Mono Town, with a total of three cars, one car for three actors, and two cars for the others.

During this time on the road, the actors also had a task to shoot a driving video according to the plot.

Although the story of the witch has changed, the style of the documentary has not changed, and it is still holding a camera and recording what you see along the way and what you want to film.

Until now, even Zhou Chen doesn't know what a new pseudo-documentary horror movie will be filmed in the end.

But that's where the fun comes in.

And he understands very well that the success and phenomenon of "Blair the Witch" is not so much the success of the movie, but more of a commercial plan.

A 'video-grade' work shot by three film school students on DV was bought for $100,000 by Artisan Pictures for $100,000.

But even the distributor didn't expect that this 'movie destined to smash his hands' would eventually earn 140 million US dollars in North America, creating a miracle of small-budget horror movies with small and big movies!

Although on earth at that time the film worked miracles, there were many good times and places.

For example, the DV technique and shaking the lens create an immersive sense of reality, and the underdeveloped network and information asymmetry at that time made it difficult for fans to distinguish the real from the fake.

None of this may seem operational now, but it is not.

For most people, they have been in a position of information asymmetry all their lives.

When a patient goes to the hospital to see a doctor, there are thousands of information on the Internet that can be collected, but in the end, he still has to go to the hospital to see the doctor.

An ordinary customer does not know the true value of a product at all, and what is sold for 20 yuan on a carpet will generally increase several times in a store or a more upscale place, and sometimes the thing is the same.

What Zhou Chen is doing now is the truth and the false, and the truth is confused.

There is a legend of the witch Elisa, and it is true that they are making a documentary.

As for the rest of the plot, it is created, otherwise it would not be a movie in the cinema, but a criminal record material in the police station.

Originally, the car would arrive at its destination in two days, but because Zhou Chen had to check the shooting materials on the way and buy some materials for camping, food and accommodation nearby, it took an extra day.

At 3:40 p.m., the car of Zhou Chen and others stopped next to the road marked by the town.

Covered in tall bushes, the valley stretches to the famous gold rush ghost town of 'Bodi'.

The valley is not too deep, and the most open area is Lake Mono.

They stopped at a cemetery outside the town, a large and small, densely packed with tombstones, and some statues carved with angel-winged children.

This scene was somewhat familiar, and the familiarity made Zhou Chen feel frightened.

Isn't that the scene in the movie?

Zhou Chen unconsciously felt a chill down his spine, and for the first time, he couldn't tell the difference between reality and virtual space.

There are scenes related to simulating the filming of a movie in a virtual space, and he is very familiar with the locations involved in the film.

He looked up more closely, and finally calmed down.

After all, in the movie, the town is hilly and mountainous, and they are located in a valley.

Perhaps the cemeteries in all remote places in the United States are the same, just like the cemeteries in the countryside of China.

With this real cemetery, it saves them from looking for relevant locations, and Zhou Chen hurriedly asked the three actors to come down and start recording.

"This is the town of Mono, a quiet town. "Actress Ellie stands in front of the camera, like a reporter explaining the history of the town, and it is another actor Joe who is filming her.

"200 years ago, less than 20 families lived here. ”

"Many of the dead were either buried on the hill or buried here, and oddly enough, many children were buried here, most of whom died in the 40s of the 20th century. ”

While the three were shooting, Zhou Chen, Zhang Kejia and others watched from the sidelines.

These lines and scripts have not changed much Zhou Chen.

"It's so easy to shoot, and you don't need a special photographer. Green, another actor on the side, said.

"But at least you need to be the director. Ellie emphasized that Green is the director of the documentary among the three people.

"I feel like I'm here to travel, and it doesn't make much of a difference, they just follow the script. ”

Zhang Kejia looked at the three people and said to Zhou Chen.

"At least we can see a creative horror film that helps them do better. ”

Zhou Chen replied with a smile, walked aside, looked at the words on the tombstone, and couldn't help but sigh a little: "This death seems to be a child..."

"Isn't it said in the lines? Most of the buried children here are children. Zhang Kejia is not surprised.

He had already read Zhou Chen's script before he came, and checked the information of this town, and the strangeness of the town's cemetery was still well-known in the local area.

Mira, the female photographer on the side, timidly glanced at several people who were filming and said, "How do I feel that something is getting more and more wrong, as if we are not making a fake documentary, but a real documentary." These cemeteries, towns, legends, are all true!"

Zhou Chen looked at this similar scene, but he felt something in his heart.

What distinguishes pseudo-documentaries from documentaries is the word "pseudo", which is fake, not true.

But all this creates a sense of confusion.

It is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false and the false.

These people are still like this, not to mention those fans with asymmetric information, after being influenced by various propaganda news.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen is more confident in the future of the movie.
