"Rachel, Zachary, this is the last set of shots in the movie, are you ready?" Wang Yang looked at Rachel and Zachary, smiled lightly, and said, "After filming this set of shots, it's over." ”

Because the curtains were drawn so tightly that no light could penetrate the bedroom, it was dim, and Rachel and Zachary were both wearing pajamas, listening to Wang Yang's words and nodding.

This is the seventh day after the film began filming, and Wang Yang has been shooting with Joshua's new DV camera for four days. In the past four days, they have been filming "Smart - Ghost Shadow" every day, and the progress has been completed day by day. During the filming, he continued to encounter a lot of problems, but fortunately, there were solutions to them, and they could not stop Wang Yang's footsteps.

The filming of the film has also come to the last part of the script, as long as this set of shots is completed, the shooting work is done!

In the script, after the young couple moved to this new apartment, they experienced all kinds of supernatural events, such as the heroine Meier ran to the bathroom in the middle of the night in a daze, while the male protagonist Kevin's DV camera filmed a strange scene in the mirror of the bathroom, and Meier in it had a terrifying expression;

These supernatural events frightened the young couple, who bought things to deal with the spirits, such as sprinkling salt all over the house. But it didn't work, and in the evening the spirit continued, so the scared Kevin wanted to move out, but Meier resolutely refused, and Kevin had to stay with her for another night.

What happened next was the end. At midnight, Meier, who was asleep in bed, suddenly got up, and then stared at Kevin blankly on the side of the bed for more than an hour, and then walked out of the bedroom, and the DV machine placed in the bedroom filmed all this;

Then there was a sound of footsteps, from far and near, stamping, stomping, as if they were about to enter the bedroom, but suddenly stopped again.

At this time, the final ** part of the movie is also coming. In all the previous times, the whole movie was playing psychological horror, and there were no bloody scenes, but relying on the creation of details, it would make the audience "scare themselves", their spirits were tense, and the depression in their hearts had reached the verge of collapse at any time. So now, what is the way to make the audience have a nervous breakdown?

It's very simple and cliché, just scare them directly.

Because the DV lens has a strong sense of first-person visual substitution, from Meier's getting up to the stop of the footsteps, the audience has always looked at the dim picture that did not move at all from the same angle, and the spirit is very depressed, and the attention is highly concentrated. At this time, all it takes is a grimace or a sharp and piercing ghost cry to suddenly appear on the screen, and they will be scared away!

It's a primitive method, but it's absolutely effective. It's like a person is concentrating on something, and you quietly walk behind him and suddenly yell at him, and he jumps in fear.

For the whole day today, Wang Yang was almost shooting this direct and scary shot. After the footsteps stopped for a while, the actor Kevin was suddenly thrown into the bedroom, and his body slammed into the camera at a rapid speed, instantly knocking the DV machine crookedly.

There was a problem in filming this shot, how to make Zachary, who played Kevin, "fly" into the bedroom? Zachary performed several times, whether it was a frontal flutter or a backside bounce, the effect was very bad, and Zachary also suffered a small injury.

Wang Yang thought hard for a long time, if he used post-special effects to solve the problem, to achieve perfect integration with the picture, he knew that he did not have that technology; if he used the method of hanging wire rope, first, he had no experience in this area, and second, the cost would inevitably increase greatly.

In the end, Rachel reminded Wang Yang to use the method of prop shooting. They bought a piece of cloth, sewed a curved humanoid cloth doll from Zachary's body, filled the doll with a sponge, and then put the doll in Zachary's clothes to become Zachary's stand-in. Although the workmanship of the doll is very rough, the bedroom is dimly lit, black and mushy, and the shooting is not clear, and the doll is enough to cope with the shooting needs.

The cloth doll was thrown into the bedroom by Wang Yang and Zachary together, and then smashed the DV machine hard, this simple shot is complicated by the shape change of the doll in the air, the angle of the DV camera after being hit, etc. Wang Yang shot dozens of times, almost smashing the doll, and this shot finally passed.

Now only the last shot was not taken, after Kevin was thrown into the bedroom, Meier slowly walked into the bedroom with a blank face, her clothes and face were covered with blood, she walked to the ground in front of Kevin's body, crouched down, and then seemed to find the DV camera, she smiled at the DV camera, and then reached out to turn off the DV camera, and the movie ended.

In order to shoot this shot, Rachel's blue checkered pajamas are all coated with blood-red syrup on her chest, as well as her face, which is also the only "bloody" shot in the movie.

"Jan, I'm ready. Rachel said to Wang Yang and walked out of the bedroom to wait in the hallway, while Zachary curled up on the floor, obscuring a small part of the camera.

Wang Yang also lay on the floor, looking at the display screen behind the DV machine, he shouted: "Okay, everyone is in place, the last shot of the movie, start!" His heart jumped, and he pressed the start shooting button of the DV machine with his hand.

In the dimly lit bedroom, there were only some faint eerie blue lights, Rachel, who played Meier, stood at the door of the bedroom sluggishly, she walked over slowly, step by step, and crouched down in front of Kevin's corpse, her face was dead, suddenly, she looked at the DV machine and laughed evilly, stretched out her hand to the DV machine, and the camera was pitch black.

"Stop!" Wang Yang frowned, which indicated that he was not satisfied with the performance just now, and after spending a week with him, Rachel was already familiar with his small movements, and saw him biting his lip, knowing that this meant that he was brewing something to say, so he looked at him quietly.

She didn't guess wrong, Wang Yang immediately said to her, "Rachel, your smile is a little too much." In the last shot, Meier's smile doesn't need to be so exaggerated, you can smile more naturally, and with the whole movie, that smile is even more terrifying, shuddering, understand?" He still lay on the floor, looked up at Rachel who was standing up in front of him, and said: "By the way, when you come over, your steps should be stiffer, and your face will be calmer." ”

Rachel made an "ok" gesture and smiled, "I see, smile naturally, like now, right?"

"Well, not bad, but I need to be sweeter! You know, like looking at my boyfriend. As soon as Wang Yang finished speaking, Zachary on the ground muttered, "Oh, smiling sweetly in front of my boyfriend's corpse, what a pervert." Seeing Rachel standing at the door and getting ready, Wang Yang smiled and said, "I just want the effect of perversion." 3, 2, 1, go!"

Hearing the beginning, Rachel walked over step by step, this time her body was very stiff, like a zombie, she came to Kevin's corpse, squatted down, and laughed slowly at the DV camera, revealing two dimples, those two dimples that usually looked so sweet, were now stained with blood, and a sweet smile was creepy.

Wang Yang clenched his fists, a hot current gushed out in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Good performance!

"It's over!??!" Zachary bounced off the floor, his face full of excitement, and Rachel closed her eyes in relief, and opened them with a smile on her face, all with a sweet smile from the heart.

"It's over! The movie is over! We've made it!" Wang Yang also stood up from the floor, clenched his fists and couldn't help waving his fists, shouting "yes", and said, "Oh my God! I'm so happy! Unbelievable! We're done shooting, we've finished filming perfectly! I've been living in a dream this week! Oh my God!" he looked at Rachel and Zachary and said excitedly: "I've worked hard for you, I've really worked hard for you!"

He stretched out his hands and hugged Zachary, patted Zachary on the back, and thanked: "Thank you, Zachary! ”

Letting go of Zachary, Wang Yang looked at Rachel with a smile again, Rachel also smiled, took the initiative to spread out his hands to hug him, the two hugged each other tightly, Wang Yang said in a serious tone: "Rachel, thank you, thank you very much! You acted very well, you reminded me a lot, and helped me a lot...... I don't know what to say, that's all there is to it, thank you. ”

Rachel leaned on Wang Yang's shoulder, smiled quietly, showed her dimples shallowly, and said in a soft voice: "Yang, you have taught me a lot, and in this week, I have gained a lot and learned a lot of things that I can't learn in school." She smiled again: "And it's a pleasure to work with you." ”

"I was also very pleasant. Wang Yang smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and the two parted and smiled at each other.

At this time, Zachary sighed and said, "Oh, it's amazing to think about it, I actually became the leading actor once! Wow, it's amazing!" He said sincerely: "Seriously, I had a very full and happy week." I have a daily shoot and I can stand in front of the camera and perform, oh, that's my favorite job. Instead of showing people the way in the supermarket. ”

Rachel laughed, "Well, it's a lot more fun than being in school classes." She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Of course, I still have to attend classes, and this week's performance work has made me realize that I am still far from it, and there is still a lot to learn." ”

"I can't imagine that tomorrow I'm going to go back to my old life. Zachary sighed, the excitement and joy just now were gone, and he shook his head and said: "Every day in the supermarket to show people around, 'Hey, do you know where the vegetable section is?', 'Oh, over there, this lady, come with me', 'Hey, this kid, you can't crush the potato chips...... 'Oh my God!'" He covered his forehead and said: "It's like this every day, if you have an audition opportunity, you go to Hollywood to try your luck, and if you're lucky, you have a trick, and it's generally only for the masses." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Wang Yang opened the curtains of the room to let the light from the outside in, and the bedroom was suddenly bright, and he joked: "Man, don't worry, as soon as my movie is released, even if you can't become a big star, you will get a lot of opportunities." ”

Zachary and Rachel both laughed, but Zachary didn't say anything, how easy is it for this film to be released? Home DVD shooting, $10,000 production cost, a young director who is more than 18 years old and two months old...... Which issuing company will give you the favor?

But what Zachary doesn't know is that Wang Yang is not even a young director, he can only be said to be a "baby" director. In Hollywood, it's a very young age to be able to direct a movie at the age of 30, and the Guinness Book of Records has such a point, the youngest director in Hollywood, Stephen Paul, who was only 20 years old when he directed "Love Again" in 1980. And Wang Yang is now a little more than 18 years and two months old.

Zachary suddenly suggested, "Jan, Rachel, I have an idea, let's go out to the bar later." He touched his head and said, "You know, after today, we don't know when we'll be able to get together." ”

"Okay. Rachel nodded happily, and Wang Yang agreed: "Yes." He looked at Rachel and smiled, "But you have to change your clothes first, it's not Halloween, and vampires can't come out yet." ”

Rachel smiled and put on an evil expression, dipped her index hand in the "blood" on her face, put it in her mouth and sucked, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's so sweet." With that, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, wait! Rachel, you're in this interesting scene, I think I should add it to the movie! Everyone, our work isn't over yet!" Wang Yang suddenly snapped his fingers, and said with a serious face. He looked at Rachel and Zachary who were stunned, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm kidding." My friend, go change your clothes. ”

Rachel gave him a blank look and said, "Actually, I hope you're not joking." Zachary also sighed: "Yes, as soon as I heard the words 'all in place', I felt empowered. ”

"Wow, I'm so touched, but it's over. Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, sorting out the DV machine, and felt a little lost, I don't know how long it will take before he can shout "all in place", "start", "stop" again......

After a few more jokes, Rachel went to the bathroom to change clothes and wash her face, while Zachary, who was wearing a white tank top, only needed to put on a T-shirt and jacket.

Wang Yang connected the DV camera to the computer and transferred the images taken today to the computer, and while waiting, the mobile phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Jessica Alba's call, and every day when it was close to dusk, she would call over once a day to inquire about the filming progress of the movie. Wang Yang smiled and answered, "Hi, Jessica." ”

"Hi Jan. How's the movie going today?, is it done?" asked Jessica, who knew during yesterday's call that the filming of the film might end today.

Wang Yang leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, watched the progress of the completion of the transmission on the computer screen move forward little by little, and smiled at the mobile phone: "Well, it's done." Oh my God, Jessica, you know what? It's a great feeling, it's amazing!" he exclaimed, "I'm so content, I'm excited. Come to think of it, I actually made a movie, I became a director, and oh my God, it's crazy, it's unbelievable!"

"Jan, congratulations, I'm so proud of you. Jessica laughed happily, she had wanted to come over today to witness the end of the filming, but suddenly received an audition in the morning, a retail store waitress role who could say a few lines to the male lead. The result failed, and both the director and producer of the film vetoed her because she did not have the mundane temperament of a waitress, and they ended up choosing a white girl with a round face.

She wanted to mention this matter to Wang Yang and express her dissatisfaction, but now that Wang Yang was so happy, she felt that she should not mention this kind of disappointment.

Wang Yang turned his chair and invited, "By the way, we are about to go out to the bar to celebrate." Do you have time to come along?" Before he finished speaking, he patted his forehead with an "oh" and said with a smile: "Jessica, I almost forgot that you are not yet 18 years old. ”

If you are under the age of 18, you are not an adult and are not eligible to enter bars, nightclubs, etc. Don't want to get in, in the United States, before entering a bar, you have to show your ID to the bar doorman, if you are not an adult, the doorman will never let you in, because this is not morality, but law.

Minors are prohibited from entering bars and nightclubs, minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol, and naturally it is also forbidden to sell alcohol to minors. The law in the United States is very strict in this regard, and the control work is also very good, in the vicinity of some bars, there will even be police officers hanging there all day long, at any time to check the age of suspicious people, once it is found that there are bars that allow minors to enter, and also sell alcohol to minors, then the bar owner will be fined, have his license revoked, or go to jail at worst.

"Yes, I can't go. Jessica talked to him for a while, and Wang Yang was about to leave for the bar, so she said, "Yang, have fun, bye!"

The bar I went to on this trip was introduced by Zachary, which is a bar that can be entered by 18 years old, with a performance stage in the middle, and a small dance floor below, smoking is prohibited, so it is very clean, although there are many people and noisy, but there is no black miasma. Strictly speaking, although Zachary was born in 1980, he has not yet celebrated his 18th birthday and cannot enter the bar, but apparently he is familiar with the bar, and the doorman let him in, of course, the doorman put a red stamp on the back of his hand.

The meaning of the red seal means that this guy is not eligible to buy alcohol, because the legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old, and those who are 21 years old or older will be stamped with a blue seal. Therefore, Wang Yang, who is more than 18 years and 2 months old, and Rachel, who is more than 19 years and 5 months old, have their hands stamped with red seals on the backs of their hands.

"Cheers!" Wang Yang, Rachel, and Zachary sat on chairs in the corner of the bar, touched a glass of cold soda in their hands, and each took a sip. There is no way, although they are old enough to enter the bar, but they are not old enough to buy alcohol, so they can only choose soda or plain water, they choose soda.

"So, Jan, why would you want to be a director?" Zachary asked with a smile, and Rachel looked at Wang Yang with interest. This is the most common type of table game, where everyone asks each other questions, and the person being asked needs to be honest about the answers.

Wang Yang frowned, and said with a puzzled look: "If I say that the reason is 'like', will you beat me?" Zachary and Rachel both rolled their eyes and said "Please", Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "OK, OK." Well, I've loved movies since I was a kid, and when I listen to stories and watch Grimm's fairy tales, I have a lot of images in my head, and even a simple idea that I can't help but turn into pictures, and then I think, if I make them, like movies, it must be cool. ”

"That's why I aspired to be a director. Wang Yang took a sip of soda and said with a smile: "There is another reason, have you seen the movie "Cinema Paradiso"? At that time, I watched it, but at the end of the movie, when I saw Duoduo showing the film cut out by Efedo, my mother covered my eyes. Oh, I really, really wanted to know what film Efedo had cut, and at the time I thought only directors could see it. So, you got it. ”

Both Rachel and Zachary laughed good-naturedly, and Zachary asked curiously, "So have you watched it now? I mean the last films of Cinema Paradiso." ”

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I know what it is, but I haven't seen it yet." Rachel looked at him and smiled in a pretending to remind him, "Young, you're a director now, you can go and see it." Wang Yang smiled and said, "No, I have told myself since I was a child that I will only watch my first movie after it is released." I can't break that promise, and that's what keeps me going. ”

Rachel and Zachary nodded abruptly, and Wang Yang asked again: "Then Rachel, Zachary, why do you want to be an actor?" He looked at Rachel and smiled: "Ladies first." ”

"Thank you. Rachel laughed, then said with a serious face, "Well, it's actually the same as you, 'like'." After being booed by Wang Yang and Zachary before Rachel smiled and said: "Okay, when I was very young, I loved dancing, Toronto is a cold city with a lot of ice rinks, so I practiced figure skating, which is a kind of ice dance. Then one day, my dad took me to see a musical and dance show, and then I was hooked. ”

She sighed "wow" and said, "It's shocking, the world on the stage is so wonderful and romantic, I want to go in, I want to be a part of the stage." So I gave up skating and started practicing drama. ”

"Then why, you're not a stage actor now?" Zachary asked curiously.

Rachel smiled slightly and said, "Because I later found out that my favorite is not the dance, not the song and dance of the stage play, but those romantic, charming, and interesting stories, and in this regard, movies can satisfy me more." After a pause, she smiled and showed two dimples, and said, "Actually, I can still act in stage plays, and in terms of dancing, I don't fall far behind." ”

"Diligent Rachel, come on, let's give her some applause. Wang Yang took the lead in clapping, Zachary clapped his hands vigorously, and Rachel kept smiling, rolling her eyes and grimacing from time to time. After making a fuss for a while, Wang Yang looked at Zachary again and asked with a smile, "What about you, buddy?"

Zachary took a sip of soda, touched his head, and seemed a little shy: "I want to be a race car driver, I want to be a dancer, I want to be a police officer, a doctor, a pilot...... But, as you know, in reality, you can only choose one of these professions, and it is impossible to achieve all of them. And then. He tilted his head, as if he had discovered a new continent in a surprised tone: "When I know about actors, don't you have the opportunity to experience all these professions when you become an actor? You can even be 007! In this way, I fell in love with the profession of actor." ”

Wang Yang smiled and raised the water glass, and said, "We're all in the hands now, aren't we? Cheers!" Rachel and Zachary also raised their water glasses, and the three of them touched the cups with a smile and took a sip of soda.

The three of them chatted for a while, when the bar suddenly started to play a fast-paced rock song, the whole bar was boiling, whistles were constantly blowing, and the young men and women on the small dance floor were jumping and hot.

Listening to the music, Zachary couldn't hold back, he got up and plunged into the small dance floor, twisted his body to the rhythm of the song, and danced on his own.

"Let's go dance too!" Wang Yang stood up, walked to Rachel's chair, stretched out his hand in invitation, imitated the personable gentleman's accent, and smiled: "This beautiful lady, can I dance with you?"

Rachel also smiled generously like a lady, stretched out her slender hand, gently put it in Wang Yang's hand, and said, "Of course, I am happy, this is my honor." ”

Wang Yang pulled her up with a smile, and the two walked to the dance floor, Wang Yang's right hand held her waist, Rachel's left hand was on his right hand, and the two of them held the front lift tightly with the other hand, but they naturally waltzed. The bar was now playing Beatles rock, and the fact that everyone else on the dance floor was twisting their bodies to the song with their senses at any time, made them look so different.

The two walked a few steps sideways, and Rachel couldn't help but laugh, "Young, do you think we're weird, it's rock music now." ”

Wang Yang smiled indifferently, and said with a smile as he walked with her: "Rock music? So what? Rachel, do you know what 'waltz' means?" He made a sliding step and said with a smile: "This word comes from German, and in German, it means rolling and spinning, do you say waltz and rock are contradictory?"

Rachel calmly cooperated with his sliding steps, looked at him with interest, and said, "Wow, I didn't expect you to have a study of dance as well." Wang Yang smiled: "It's just a little bit." Rachel laughed, "No, it's not a little bit, you dance very well." ”

The waltz is a very cooperative dance, both of them are each other's first partners, and now they are not playing a waltz, but they are dancing smoothly now, and there is no mistake of stepping on the foot. This shows that the level of dance on both sides is not low, and it is very tacit.

"Oh, so do you. Wang Yang smiled and spun around the crowd, gliding lightly across the crowded dance floor, causing many people to look at them. Rachel smiled while cooperating with him: "Wow, I'm different, that's what I learned, but you're a person who learns how to make movies." ”

Wang Yang smiled: "Oh, making movies is my ideal, and dancing is my hobby! Who doesn't like dancing?" After jumping a few more steps, he suddenly said: "Beautiful girl, come to a difficult one!"

"It's already a tango!" Rachel shouted "wow."

"Very good, this can't be difficult for you, come again!" Wang Yang smiled, put his arm around her waist, and spun under his feet when he walked to an empty spot on the dance floor. Rachel responded to him unhurriedly, smiling, "Come on, I'm right here." ”

The two looked into each other's eyes, and their bodies that were attached to each other rotated without turning, but there was no mistake, and this silent tacit understanding made them both enjoy it.
