Back in the hotel in the evening, Zhou Chen, Zhang Kejia and others sorted out the information collected during the day and the materials obtained.

The actors spent the day in the town looking for interviews with residents and recorded a lot of material about witches.

After interviewing each resident, they are asked for their opinion at the end of the documentary, asking if they can use the portrait in the documentary.

If something they talk about is valuable, they need to arrange for extras to re-record it to ensure that valuable material is not wasted.

There is no need to tell the three actors about these things, because the actors do not appear in the camera, and it is the same no matter who records the video.

As for Zhou Chen and others exploring the filming site, looking for new scenes, and exploring the abandoned mine pits and those abandoned houses, they need to be added to the next shooting.

These are different from the background story of the witch in the original movie, but they can allow Zhou Chen to expand the script and enrich the plot, and the movie will be more interesting and exciting.

Unlike the original movie, in more than 80 minutes, there are 60 minutes of three actors getting lost in the jungle and various quarrels.

And now the background of Alyssa's witch story here in Mono Town is much richer, and it also gives Zhou Chen more creative space.

Not only can you add the legend of the original movie witch, but also the story of absenteeism and hiding gold related to the gold rush here, and then let the three actors go into the mountains and mines, and shoot in the abandoned village, there will be more interesting plots.

It was not until three o'clock that Zhou Chen finished sorting out the collected information and reorganized it into the shooting script.

In a pseudo-documentary-style film, the script and lines are not so important, creating a terrifying atmosphere and tension and a sense of substitution are the most important.

The script of the original movie is also lackluster, which is why Zhou Chen revised the script at any time.

On the third day, the crew was divided into two teams again, and Old Fulin and Corey each served as guides for one team.

According to the information obtained from interviewing residents yesterday, Zhou Chen and photographer Mira took three actors into the dense forest of the valley to explore and photograph the traces of witches.

Zhang Kejia and the set designer Erken led the others to the location that Zhou Chen had explored yesterday and set up the scene in advance for the next shooting.

Entering the dense forest to shoot, as time progresses, the atmosphere becomes more and more tense after discovering the local witch ruins.

The three leading actors, Ellie, Joe, and Green, who have never known the truth, often photographed the traces of witches in the mouths of residents, such as mysterious stone mounds, disappeared children's graves, dilapidated and dark mines, caves where gold is hidden, cursed scarecrows, and cruel and bloody uncanny valley huts, all of which make them believe more and more that there was once a terrifying witch.

Especially staying in the wild at night, being woken up by unknown terrifying sounds, and being slipped into the tent by something they don't know, all of which made them almost lose control of their emotions.

Of course, they didn't know that it was all man-made, and Zhou Chen was like a demon at this point.

Fortunately, time passed quickly, and on the tenth day of arriving in Mono Town, everything was finally filmed.

Crawling out of the foul-smelling, eeriely dark pit, out of the gloomy valley, back to the town with a warm sunshine, everyone took a long breath and felt like they were back in the world.

It's just that director Zhou Chen didn't allow them to go back to the hotel to take a bath and rest, so they hurriedly set off back to Los Angeles, even if they were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.

Zhou Chen and Zhang Kejia and others are not much better than the three actors.

Even if they knew the real situation, and some of the witch's traces were arranged and faked by them, in this strange environment, they still couldn't help but feel scared after hearing the horror stories told by so many residents.

It's like walking in the dark woods late at night, and some people unconsciously wonder if they will encounter wild beasts or ghosts, and then feel scared.

But now it's all settled.

As for the arrangement of the three actors, it is completely out of the need for secrecy, in line with the publicity strategy of the previous official website for the film and the news of the disappearance of the three leading actors.

For this reason, Zhou Chen dismissed the locals such as Lao Fulin and Corey on the seventh day.

After returning to the town after filming, they also didn't let the three leading actors show up, went back to the hotel to clean up their salutes, and deliberately pretended that something had happened and left in a hurry, without saying goodbye to the residents who got along well.

Two days later, Zhou Chen and his entourage returned to Los Angeles, and he found the three leading actors together, told them about the situation, and asked them to continue to cooperate with the promotion of the movie.

After hearing the truth, the three leading actors had a-eating expression, and almost turned their faces with Zhou Chen and others, and heard Zhou Chen offer to compensate each of them with 10,000 US dollars, asking them to not break the truth until the end of the movie screening, try not to go out, and keep it mysterious even when they go out, then after the movie screening, each person will receive another 10,000 US dollars in compensation, the three of them thought a little, and happily agreed.

The whole movie does not count other security guards, travel expenses, etc., it only cost 30,000 US dollars for filming, and their previous salary per person was only 8,000 US dollars, but now they suddenly learned that they can get such a high salary, just to cooperate with the promotion of the movie, what else is there to be reluctant to?

After all, the movie is starring them, and if the movie is really successful, it will also help their acting career.

And this money is really a huge amount of money for them, they still owe 40,000 US dollars in student loans when they go to college, and now they don't have to do anything to get this fee, how can they not want to?

After finishing the three leading actors, Zhou Chen and Zhang Kejia began to work overtime to edit the movie and were busy with the post-production of the movie.

And in the past half a month, Professor Ram also found a soundtrack for "This Man is from Earth".

After Zhou Chen read the relevant soundtrack plan, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

The songs chosen by Professor Ram are all classic old songs, which fit well with the plot of the movie, and are better than the soundtrack of the original movie.

The two movies were successfully filmed and entered post-production, while Zhou Chen was happy, he was a little worried about what Gu Xiaojiao said before.

During this time, I knew that he was busy making movies, and Gu Xiaojiao didn't call, and I didn't know what the situation was over there.

…………

In China, the magic capital "Masters Like Forests" was filmed on the set.

Early in the morning, director Jia Jun came to Gu Xiaojiao's dressing room to ask her how she thought about the added scenes.

"Director, I still think it's inappropriate to add this one, and it's not in line with Ye Rou's character. She has a cold temperament, and she is affected by the failure of her last relationship, even if she is moved, she is not suitable for taking the initiative to kiss her boyfriend passionately in public. ”

Gu Xiaojiao's tone was soft and gentle, and he spoke slowly and logically, contrary to the usual fast talk with Zhou Chen in private, naughty and nonsense, and seemed very serious.
