Chapter 115 Midnight Bell 4
Xiaotang walked in front of Lu Ming with two people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info introduced: "Brother Ming, this time there are three people, namely me and Xiaochao, and Xiaoyuan. ”
"You also want to make a cameo?" After speaking, Lu Ming looked at Xiaoyuan carefully. And Xiaoyuan is the son of the owner of this mansion, and he himself is a member of the troupe. Lu Ming had met him before.
"yes, it's nice to make a cameo. Xiaotang said.
Lu Ming nodded, able to understand Xiaotang's mood.
"You three just follow me. You change your outfit first. Lu Ming said.
Xiaotang has the mentality of having fun, so he doesn't care much about the role. Just have it. And the other 2 main purposes are to get close to Lu Ming, and they don't care too much about the characters.
"Director, the equipment has arrived. At this time, a staff member walked over.
Lu Ming looked at the gate, and sure enough, two large trucks were parked. Lu Ming looked around again, Fukasaku was chatting and laughing with the reporters, and the two newcomers were busy. Don't overdo it, Lu Ming said: "Then invite the reporters to the hall for interviews!"
"Okay. ”
As the interview shifted, the crew began the simple set. And the people of the photography team began to debug.
"Midnight Bell" takes place in Japan in the midsummer of 1997.
The niece of the heroine Reiko Asakawa and her classmates went to stay overnight at [Pacific Paradise] in Izu
At the hotel, they found a video tape with bizarre and meaningless contents.
After returning to school, the story was spread by a classmate other than her niece.
So much so that in just a few days, it was constantly falsely rumored to be the following:
[There is a video in which anyone who has seen it will be cursed to die on the seventh day, and a woman will call to warn him]
Don't be described by your classmates as having many people die from this video
And the person who actually found the tape sat here and listened to the gossip being described.
As if it were true.
But on the seventh day, something strange happened.
The heroine's niece and his classmates died at the same time in different places.
First there are unverifiable rumors, and then there are curses.
A lie repeated a thousand times becomes a fact.
, Lu Ming looked at the script. And Fukasaku on the side is also explaining the script to the protagonist.
After a while, the drama manager came over and said, "The director is all ok!"
Hearing this, Lu Ming stood up. Walked over to the camera.
"action-" With Lu Ming's shout, the entire crew followed the actors' performances.
The next day, everyone in Tokyo knew that Lu Ming was going to shoot a horror movie "Midnight Bell". Major newspapers have launched their own eye-catching headlines.
In fact, horror movies in this era are not the home field, and the entire small countries of Southeast Asia are dominated by Xianxi films.
So when people learned that Lu Ming was going to shoot a horror movie, a considerable number of people were not optimistic about Lu Ming's work.
Fukasaku was not present today, so the heavy responsibility of explaining the script was honorably handed over to Lu Ming. Of course, both the hero and heroine have scripts in their hands.
Lu Ming scratched his head, looking at the lines in the script, he felt that something was wrong, which was different from the video in his mind.
"Director, can you improvise later?" Riley asked delicately.
"Okay. Lu Ming agreed, and the screenwriter did not object, and more importantly, the dialogue written by Fukasaku was too decent, and it was a little different from the dialogue in Lu Ming's mind.
"Units are ready. ”
"Prepare to bury—"
"Smack-"
...............................
On this day, it rained sporadically in Tokyo, and the crew stopped filming for a day since it started.
And taking advantage of today's rest, Lu Ming invited Nanako to visit his villa.
After a round of visiting, Lu Ming diligently made a cup of Longjing tea for Xiao Caizi, and under the influence of Lu Ming, Xiao Caizi only drank coffee when he was working overtime, so Xiao Caizi generally drank tea.
"How is it, is the house still beautiful?" Lu Ming asked.
Xiao Caizi smelled the tea and replied, "Yes, very good!"
Lu Ming hurriedly patted his chest and said, "I'm really afraid that you won't be able to say it well." ”
"Hehe, how could it be!" Speaking of this, Xiao Nanazi couldn't help but ask about the movie. "By the way, how is the filming of the movie?" "Because Nanako in the movie is really small, she can't be smaller, so Nanako is not always on the scene every time she shoots.
Lu Ming sat next to Xiao Caizi and replied, "It's almost finished, it's OK to shoot three more shows." It's estimated that it will be released on January 22nd!"
"January 22nd, isn't that going to collide with Anri Mari's "The Grudge"!" said Nanako, who frowned.
"It's not that coincidental, right!" Since entering the filming state, Lu Ming basically doesn't read the news or the newspaper. So I don't know anything about the trends in the entertainment industry.
Xiao Caizi smiled bitterly: "The posters of "The Grudge" have come out. It will be released on January 21. ”
"Shhhh
Looking at Lu Ming, Xiao Caizi couldn't help but say, "Why don't you change the date?" ”
Shaking his head, Lu Ming said: "I have made a promise to the media, if I regret it now, I don't know what others think of me Lu Ming." ”
"Do you want to fight hard?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming said: "No, you don't have to fight hard. Sometimes there is competition and gimmicks can be created. After speaking, a plan roughly emerged in Lu Ming's heart.
Looking at Lu Ming, who was full of confidence, Xiao Caizi couldn't say anything.
Suddenly, Lu Ming's mobile phone rang.
"Hey, who?"
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Wada Kichu. ”
For a while, Lu Ming couldn't remember who this person was, until Hetian Muzhong reminded him. Lu Ming suddenly realized. "Director Watian is really embarrassed!"
"Hehe, Director Chen is a noble man who forgets things! I heard that you have started filming another big production!"
"Where, where. It's a little fight!" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Director Chen, the main reason I called this time is to determine what program you want to perform at the Tokyo Spring Festival Gala?" asked Wada Muzhong.
"This, Director Hetian, can you think about it for me for another day. I'll call you tomorrow. Lu Ming was a little embarrassed. To be honest, Lu Ming didn't expect the Spring Festival Gala held by TV Tokyo to find him.
"That's—" Wada Muzhong obviously didn't encounter such a situation. "It's fine. Then I'll wait another day. ”
"Thank you so much, Director Wada Kichu. I must thank the director this time."
"How can I let Director Chen break the bank! I should also do my best to be a landlord!"
"The director wants to do the friendship of the landlord, and there is an opportunity. It's time for me to treat you this time. That's it. Is there anything else going on with the Director?"
"Hehe, then I won't delay Director Chen's filming. He Tian Muzhong didn't fight anymore, after all, Lu Ming was a rich man. It's still a bit painful to really let Wada Muzhong pay for it himself.
Putting down the phone, Lu Ming saw Xiao Caizi's curious eyes. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Nanako asked curiously, "Were you on the phone from the TV station just now?"
"yes!"
"Amin, promise me. Don't get too deep. Xiao Nanazi said very seriously.
Lu Ming immediately knew that Xiao Caizi must have been affected by something.
Lu Ming held Xiao Caizi's hand and said softly, "Please believe me." ”
Xiao Caizi wanted to shake her head, but seeing Lu Ming's sincere and persistent eyes, Xiao Caizi knew that this man also had a bullish temper. The ancients said that marrying a chicken is with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog. Xiao Caizi had to compromise.
