The next day, Liu Pian led the crew and started filming with equipment. He plans to film interviews with local residents before heading out to the Baiji Valley for an "adventure."

And the interviewees are real residents of the area, not extras. If you really want to count extras, then Henry is one. However, the old guy didn't know that Liu Pian was filming a movie, and thought that they were really interviewing and shooting a documentary.

Liu Pian noticed that it seemed that everyone in the town had heard of the legend of the witch to a greater or lesser extent, but most of them thought that it was just a legend and would not really believe it. There are also parents who tell the legend of the witch to the disobedient children, warning them that if they are naughty, the evil witch will take them away.

It can be seen that the legend of the witch is not a secret in the local area, and it has spread to the point that even children have heard of it.

So the interview went unusually well, and Liu Pian and others spent a day walking all over the town and interviewing dozens of local residents.

The plot of the interview did not follow the script, at least not in the hands of the local residents. During the interview, the three of Jesse just asked leading questions according to Liu Pian's request, and then handed them to the residents to answer.

For example: "Have you ever heard of the Blair witch?", "Have you ever seen a witch?", "Are witches real?", and so on.

Finally, I would like to ask the residents for their opinion on whether their portraits could be used in the documentary.

Some people are unwilling, but Liu Pian does not force it. If you are willing, Liu Pian will pay a sum of money, which should be regarded as buying the right to use the portrait, which can also be regarded as an alternative "actor's salary". Liu Pian will select some of these interview clips as appropriate and edit them into the movie, and will not put all the dozens of interview subjects on them. No viewer wants to watch an interview for tens of minutes.

Among these interviewees, Henry was undoubtedly the most happy one, and the three of them also spent a lot of time interviewing him.

The old fellow told Jesse what he knew about the legend.

I have to say that this old guy said it in a good way, and told the legend as a ghost story, which frightened the three of them.

You know, this is unscripted, Jesse and they don't know what Henry will say, and when they hear these legends, which are both true and false, they can't help but feel creepy, and goosebumps all over their bodies.

If Henry was the only one who said this, maybe the three of them would not be so afraid, but when the whole town's residents, everyone knew a little bit about the legend of the witch, then the matter seemed confusing.

The more you listen to it, the more it looks like it's true!

The three of Jesse are really scared!

At the beginning of the interview, the three thought it was a group performance, but Liu Pian denied it, and as the interview deepened, those legends were like a dark cloud covering the hearts of the three people.

I'm a good girl, this Nima is a little scary!

In the evening, there was also a scene in the hotel, after the three of Jesse finished filming. Everyone gathered together to discuss tomorrow's shooting schedule.

But the interest of the three Jesses was not very high.

It's so weird!

I've never experienced such a weird movie shoot.

Is this really a movie? How can it be so real?

"Director, are you sure that the person we interviewed today is not a group performer?" Cliffor stared at Liu Pian in disbelief.

"Of course not. Liu Pian said angrily, "This is not a film and television base, can I make all the residents of a small town perform in groups? Besides, before you came, you didn't know that the legend of the witch does exist here." ”

Clifford laughed more ugly than cried, "But I didn't expect it to be such an exaggeration, almost all the locals know about witches..... It really scared the hell out of me during the interview. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Jesse and Charlene nodded in agreement.

"It's really weird. Jesse had a headache, "When I went to the bar yesterday, I talked to some people, they all grew up listening to witch legends, and told me a lot about witch legends. ”

Sha Lin's face was also a little ugly, "Director, it's because these people are not actors that we are so scared." It made me feel like we weren't filming at all, but really like the three people in the script were dying. ”

Liu Pian raised her eyebrows, feeling that this was indeed a problem.

In this shooting, the line between truth and falsehood is too blurred. So far, except for the scenes where the three actors are together are according to the script, the other plots, such as the interaction with others, are all real, and there is no shadow of the script.

Once the line between truth and falsehood is too blurred, it will take a toll on the actor's spirit.

Is this acting, or is it personal experience?

Acting belongs to feature films, and personal experience belongs to documentaries. And the pseudo-documentary is a feature film in the final analysis, which is fake!

But at the moment it's a bit true and false.

It's not a joke to be too deep in the play, and some actors have been too deep in the play and caused schizophrenia.

"We have to believe in science!" Liu Pian held back such a sentence, "The witch is just a legend, not true, it is false!"

"I also believe it's fake. Jesse shrugged, "But what's happening so far, makes me... Why, a little panicked? I instinctively felt a little scared. ”

Liu Pianpi doesn't smile at the flesh, this is good, I don't need to teach you how to act, just perform in your true colors.

The sense of substitution is so strong, this is the highest level of an actor.

Shalene covered her forehead and sighed, "I just want to get out of this damn place as soon as possible now, really, I don't want to stay for a moment." ”

"Then let's speed up, finish filming early, and leave early. Liu Pian smiled, "Come on, friends, there is a reward for paying." ”

The three were speechless.

"Don't be afraid. Liu Pian encouraged, "You are not alone, and we are still here." ”

Zhou Mulan nodded, "I'm here too, do you think I'm going to joke with my life? Take it easy, it's just a movie." ”

The three nodded helplessly.

It's just a movie... At present, I can only comfort myself like this.

......

The next day, the crew went to Baiji Valley to shoot the main scene.

In order to make it more convenient, Liu Pian also called Henry and asked him to act as a guide for the crew when he came, so as not to really get lost in the valley.

Of course, Henry was willing to come, because Liu Pian was a very generous person.

After a few days of guiding work, you can earn $5,000, which is so easy.

On the way to the valley, there are still two cars, one for Jesse and the three of them, because they have to film and record the clip of going to the valley.

followed by the car of Liu Pian and others.

Because when filming this scene, it was repeated several times, which made Henry a little puzzled, didn't he say to make a documentary?

After thinking about it, he also blamed this on the way the documentary was filmed.

Some documentaries do have to be repeated many times in order to get the most perfect picture.

"Liu, I really admire your courage!"

In the car, Henry said loudly, "Very few outsiders come to play with us, and even fewer people dare to come to the forbidden land." ”

"Baiji Valley is a forbidden place?" Liu Pian was curious.

"That's right. Henry nodded, "It's not that people won't be allowed to go in, it's just that very few people will go deep into here, because everyone is afraid of witches, haha! Didn't you hear it when you interviewed yesterday, those timid guys said that witches were fake, but in fact, they were so scared that they didn't dare to come to Baiji Valley." ”

"Then aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" said Henry proudly, "in the old days, I was the best hunter in town, but you know, society has changed a lot now, and people no longer make a living from hunting, including me. However, sometimes I will go to the mountains to collect some game and come back to eat, and the natural things are much better than the artificially farmed ones. ”

Liu Pian glanced at Henry in surprise, this old guy who was not good-looking was once a hunter?

"By the way, where are you going?" asked Henry.

"Go where the legends of your mouth took place. Liu Pian smiled slightly, "Henry, do you know where those places are?"

"Of course. Henry shrugged, "But it might disappoint you, there is nothing special about those places, they are ordinary, and you can't photograph witches." ”

"It's fine. Liu Pian shook her head and smiled, "Sometimes seeing is not necessarily true, and there are many ways to make people believe that it is true, and it does not necessarily require the witch to show up." ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is a saying in our Huaxia that only hears its voice, but does not see its people. Liu Pian sighed, "We can't photograph the witch, but we can record the witch's voice." ”

Henry's eyes widened.

This kid is really dying.
