The three actors are still filming.

It was still early before dark, so Zhou Chen asked Zhang Kejia and the photographer to go to the town to arrange accommodation first, as well as inquire about the situation and find suitable extras.

Although this town has a legend of witches, in order for the story to follow the script, it is still necessary to artificially arrange the actors and give them some lines for the filming of the next three actors.

Of course, if you can really interview some fresh and usable materials in the local area, Zhou Chen will definitely edit it into the movie.

That's why he's not so sure how the story will play out.

But one thing is for sure.

The three actors would not know about the witch documentary they filmed before the movie was released, but it was actually arranged by director Zhou Chen.

It is to make them think that all this is true, and when the time comes, their performance will be natural and real.

This is the method used in the filming of the original movie, and Zhou Chen will naturally insist on it.

After Zhang Kejia and the set designer Erken and the photographer Mila went to the town with two bodyguards, Zhou Chen, makeup artist Linda, and lighting artist Olsen continued to accompany the three actors to shoot and check the effect of their shooting.

This kind of pseudo-documentary, the actors have their lines, but they are also allowed to play properly, and at the same time they also act as photographers.

All three actors are acting students at USLA, and it's not much of a problem to do that.

If the angle of the shot or the scene shown is not what Zhou Chen needs, he will also ask for a reshoot.

As long as it's not an actor taking a selfie, it doesn't matter who the person carrying the camera is.

Especially sometimes it is necessary to shoot some scenes of the environment and mysterious atmosphere, and the camera shoots other positions, not the actors behind the camera, and Zhou Chen and Mira will do these things.

As time continued, makeup artist Linda looked at the cemetery, and the direction of the town in the quiet valley in the distance, and felt more and more strange here, as if there really was a witch.

She looked at Zhou Chen and Olsen next to her a little timidly, and said in a low voice, "Are we sure that we are filming a movie here, not a documentary?"

"It's a movie. Zhou Chen nodded, "We just made him look like a documentary." ”

In the original movie, some of the local villagers interviewed by the three actors during the filming were real, and some were actors hired by the film crew.

This shows that there is indeed a legend of a witch in the area.

Now this town also has a legend of witches, and this cemetery is part of the legend, so it is indeed easy to be confused in terms of authenticity.

It took two hours to shoot the scene of the cemetery, and the actress Lucy, who looked delicate, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really didn't expect that the town in the script is real, and even the cemetery is real, exactly like the description in the script!"

Joe also muttered, "It's so strange, how can so many children die, and they are concentrated in one era." ”

Green was also a little uncomfortable, "It's so real, I've never felt this way before when I made a movie, it was like a real experience." ”

Although the three of them had a script and knew that it was a documentary about witches, they always felt very strange when they found that the scenes described in the script were so real, and they all believed in the existence of witches.

And when they were filming, the role they played, director Zhou Chen also asked them to call their respective names naturally, without using pseudonyms.

The three of them all glanced at Zhou Chen, who was walking into another car, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.

This Chinese man came to the United States to make a horror movie, and he also felt very weird.

Could it be that he is hiding something, or that they are involved in some mysterious event?

You really shouldn't be greedy for the 8,000 US dollar salary.

But fortunately, the working time of the contract is only 12 days, and if the shooting goes well, it can be ended early.

Let's hope there aren't any surprises............

The three of them looked at each other again, got into their car, and continued to talk in a low voice

At about six o'clock in the evening, at the 'Oak' Hotel in Mono Town, Zhou Chen and his party settled down.

There are two main filming locations for the movie, one is an interview with the residents in the town, and the other is the process and ending of the three actors in the mountains and forests looking for witches according to the clues provided by the residents.

Especially in the mountains and forests, the three of them will camp, will get lost, and then lose the map, fall into mutual complaints and quarrels, and will not be able to get out, and finally encounter strange events.

To tell the truth, Zhou Chen has always felt that there is no wind and no waves, since there is a legend of a witch, it should really have a root.

He didn't want to really die like he did in some horror movies, and in the end he ran into some fake witch, which was actually the bloody affair of a murderer who had been hidden for a long time.

So for safety, he not only hired bodyguards, but also decided to go back to the town hotel at night after the filming of the wild camping scene, and never die for the sake of real effect, let the actors camp in the valley for a few nights.

It's summer, it's getting dark late, and after dinner, it's not dark yet, and several film crews are "acting" separately.

Zhou Chen has never been to the town, his script is revised based on the original movie and online information, and now he still has to conduct on-site investigation and make some adjustments.

Zhou Chen, the set designer Erken and a bodyguard walked along the sparsely populated town with a video camera, observing the quiet town while recording.

It's like the countryside in northern China is always somewhat similar, and so are the small towns in the rice country.

The small town in Maryland in the script is indeed very similar to this small town in California in many places, and it doesn't need to be modified much.

However, Zhou Chen soon discovered that the residents here were also secretly observing them and secretly discussed.

The population of this kind of western town is already small, and the local residents also know each other, and suddenly there are more unfamiliar faces like Zhou Chen, especially Zhou Chen and Zhang Kejia are eastern faces, so they naturally noticed it quickly.

Zhou Chen didn't pay much attention to this.

"I know what you're doing. ”

As soon as the three of Zhou Chen walked to a corner, an old white lady with a wrinkled face, messy hair, and old clothes, about sixty or seventy, suddenly appeared in front of them.

The three of them all felt a little weird and looked at the old lady seriously.

"You're from out of town, aren't you, asking for news of witches?" said the old lady with a nervous face.

"Well, yes, is there anything wrong with you?" Zhou Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked calmly.

"Are you journalists, why are you holding cameras?"

"No, let's shoot something. Zhou Chen knew that once he said that he was a reporter, these people might not tell the truth.

"Shoot something? That's certainly not a landscape. Your people are asking about witches, young man, don't venture to the cabin on the top of the mountain, witches do exist, I've seen them, I've seen them......"

The old lady said, turned and walked away.

"Zhou, aren't we going to catch up?" Elken asked.

Zhou Chen's expression was stunned, and he was about to catch up, but when he saw the dilapidated house and worship, as well as the nervous old lady, he still stopped.

"Forget it, I'm going to shoot tomorrow anyway, and it's the same to find the old lady when the time comes. ”

He thought it was a little weird, and it was something he hadn't expected, but it was interesting enough to use in the movie.

Fortunately, they brought a camera with them to film the scene just now.

Hopefully, the three actors will encounter more interesting things in interviews with the townspeople tomorrow.

Of course, if you have time in the evening, you should probably visit the small supermarkets and bars in town to inquire for more information.
