Zhou Mulan left and went to prepare funds, while Liu Pian went back to improve the script and strive to enter the filming schedule as soon as possible.

The plot of "Blair the Witch" is very simple, that is, when the three protagonists go to explore the jungle of the town, they encounter bizarre and strange events one after another, and in the end everyone is killed by the witch.

The witch is indeed real in the movie, but she does not appear in the picture the whole time, but only uses some bizarre supernatural phenomena to highlight the terrifying scandal, so that the three protagonists and the audience believe that she exists.

The success of "Blair the Witch" requires the right time and place, and the novelty of the pseudo-documentary horror film does not completely guarantee the success of the film.

So a "deception" is needed.

Deceive people into believing that there are indeed three students who go to the town to explore, convince them that the movie they watch is really a documentary left behind by the students, and make them believe that what happened in the documentary is real.

This is the biggest fear of this pseudo-documentary.

It is both true and false, making people doubt reality, suspect that there really is a terrible creature like a witch, so that they can deceive themselves and scare themselves.

......

End of August.

Liu Pian's first month of classes in the United States is over.

When it comes to what she has learned, Liu Pian feels that there is still a lot, but it is more about checking and filling in the gaps and improving her music knowledge.

On September 1st, the USC Film School officially announced the upcoming film festival after Christmas at the end of the year. As soon as Christmas is over, USC is almost on holiday.

U.S. universities have an early holiday than domestic universities, usually around Christmas, but classes also start early in the spring semester, starting in mid-January.

If Liu Pian doesn't want to skip class, then most of the Spring Festival can't be spent in China.

After the news of the film school announcing the film festival, the entire film school was boiling.

This is a campus film festival that belongs to USC, and there are Hollywood people involved in the operation behind the scenes! If you are favored by a distributor at the film festival, you will have a chance to be released in theaters!

For film school students, this is a godsend!

"That's cool! I've wanted to have a platform like this for a long time to showcase my work!"

"Oh, I was going to take my work to other film festivals, and now I've decided to go to the campus film festival. Here, I probably have a greater chance of standing out. ”

"I heard that the eight major Hollywood metropolises are sending people, as well as other distributors and film companies, and I hope that my work will be favored by anyone!"

"Let's buy the rights to my movie with a big guy, I don't want more, 100,000! No, tens of thousands of dollars are enough." ”

"The competition at this campus film festival must be particularly brutal. ”

"My micro-film may be hopeless. ”

"Oh, I haven't started shooting yet, is there still time?"

"I'm going to start preparing my crew. ”

The students of the film school began to "riot", and at the same time, the conservatory was also affected by some of the impact. Because of the demand for film dubbing, BGM, etc., many film school students have frequently come to Thornton School of Music in recent days.

On this day, Liu Pian had just finished class, and a head peeked out of the classroom. Steven looked around, and finally saw Liu Pian in the back row of the classroom, and then ran over excitedly.

"Hey, Liu Pian. Steven laughed.

"How did you get here?"

"I've come to you. Steven pointed at Liu Pian.

"Looking for me?" Liu Pian raised her eyebrows, "Do you want me to make a video BGM for you again?"

"Dude, you're too smart. ”

Liu Pian: "....."

You are a student of a film school, and when you come to the conservatory, you are either a girl or someone to help.

"You've probably heard about the campus film festival, right?" Steven said.

"Would you like to participate?"

"Of course. Steven laughed, "Actually, my movie is almost finished, and now I need to add BGM to it." Dude, I hope you can help me, and I will pay you satisfactory. ”

"I probably don't have much time lately. Liu Pian smiled apologetically, "Recently, I have made an appointment with someone to make a movie together." ”

"Movie?" Steven looked at Liu Pian in surprise.

Isn't this guy a music producer? When did he become a filmmaker again?

"That's right, don't you know, I am not only an excellent screenwriter in Huaxia, but also an actor. ”

Steven: "......"

"If you don't mind, I can introduce you to my classmates, who are trying to make some extra money lately. ”

"Forget it, I'll go find someone else myself. Steven shook his head in frustration.

"I'm sorry. ”

"Let's just say I'm not lucky enough. Steven smiled and waved away. But he didn't take a few steps before turning back again.

"Liu Pian, since you are also a movie lover, I think there is a party you must not want to miss. ”

"What party?"

"A party for film lovers, organized by the Film Society. Steven smiled, "Because of the campus film festival, it is necessary for everyone to communicate together and share experiences and insights." Do you want to come and play?"

"Okay. Liu Pian nodded without thinking, this is indeed a good opportunity for communication.

"The day after tomorrow, that is, Friday night, we will see you there. ”

"Good!"

.......

The next day, Liu Pian wrote the script.

The script of "Blair the Witch" is really simple, there is no brain-burning, and there is not even any plot, only real, so real that it is creepy.

When Liu Pian watched the movie in her mind, she didn't feel much before she saw the ending, and she didn't feel scared at all. The quality of the picture is partly due to the late nineties. Part of the reason is that there is no witch at all during the whole process, only the actor screams after encountering something weird.

It wasn't until the climax of the final ending a few minutes ago that Liu Pian felt a little terrifying.

But in the past few days, Liu Pian has looked up information about witches and watched the movie a second time. This time, he saw a lot of foreshadowing in the early stage, so much so that when he saw the back, he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and then it was accompanied by a deep fear.

It's too real, so real that it's scary, and the more I think about it, the more scary I become. Reminiscent of those real witch legends that exist in reality, this movie makes people feel even more evocative and infinitely frightened.

"Is this the script?" In the cafeteria on campus, Zhou Mulan took the thin script from Liu Pian's hand.

"Well, it's a bit rudimentary, but what this movie needs more is the on-the-spot performance of the actors, and the documentary, let's try to create an atmosphere without traces of interpretation and story. Liu Pian said.

Zhou Mulan flipped through it casually and nodded, "Okay, just shoot according to the specifications of the documentary, right?"

"That's right, and we're going to put the camera in the hands of the actors, because it's their documentary, not our producer. ”

"Sounds a bit like a live broadcast?" Zhou Mulan thought for a moment and said metaphorically.

"That's right, it's more like an outdoor live stream. ”

"I get it, it's an outdoor live broadcast with a script but no audience. ”

This is an apt analogy. Liu Pian nodded.

He has watched a pseudo-documentary horror film combined with live broadcast, which is also quite good, with a sense of horror, but no sense of reality. People know it's just a movie, and even if they're scared at the time, they won't care when they walk out of the cinema.

"Blair the Witch" is different, it is both true and false, it will make the audience unforgettable in reality.

This is a movie where the times make heroes.

This trend is the conspiracy of the publisher.
