Chapter 270: Someone Died
December 19, 2021.
Los Angeles, USA.
Towards the end of the year, the crew of "Death is Coming" is conducting intense filming in the United States, where there are very few location shootings, and the filming schedule has been arranged before the start of filming.
The crew chose the filming location at the beginning, because it was a night scene, and it was necessary to reflect the modern urban sense of Los Angeles, and it was obvious that the neon lights in English flashed like a bright galaxy, shining in the bustling city at night.
The filming took place in a roadside restaurant, with several tables and chairs outside, and American extras sitting at another table ordering food, and waiters preparing to appear.
Although "The Grim Reaper" is a horror film and is a low-budget production, there is still a certain degree of difficulty in some of the deaths of the characters in the plot, especially in a scene like tonight, where a bus needs to be hit and billboards smashed down.
Although most of this is the credit of post-editing, some important shots still need to be filmed, how to plan such a shooting, otherwise it will be very complicated to start from scratch.
The makeup artist on the side is still touching up the makeup of the three leading actors, and the next scene will also need to be wrapped eleven, Xu Chen, and another actor Gong Yu, the three of them are touching up their makeup and speaking to each other at the end.
When everything is ready, it's time to start the final shoot.
……
"Okay, all departments prepare, forty-third for the first time. ”
With this order from the scene reporter, all departments began to shoot this scene.
Bao Shiyi and the others sat at the dining table, and the extras who played the waiter on the side also served food to Bao Shiyi and the others.
"We thought of this from the beginning. ”
Bao Shiyi glanced around, there was a sense of relief in his eyes, he sighed, and said, "In the end, we solved the mystery, but we missed them a little." ”
Obviously, they are those who died on the plane, and Linde and others who did not escape the pursuit of death in the back.
Gong Yu picked up the glass of wine in front of him and said, "To Linde!"
Xu Chen looked at it, also picked up his glass of wine, and said, "Smile and smile!"
In the end, Bao Eleven said, "And those friends who didn't make it here, cheers!"
Those people didn't make it, they were all dead, and they escaped and came to the United States six months later.
Gong Yu looked at Bao Shiyi and said, "You can also tell us six months ago, and the three of us can come together." Sometimes I think you're the only one who can figure it out, and you're right, Avery that it's a design. ”
"If we want, we can take it down. ”
Xu Chen said: "Don't say yes or no, this is an opportunity, an opportunity that we can't miss." ”
As he spoke, Xu Chen shook Bao Shiyi's hand.
Bao Shiyi looked at Xu Chen and nodded, and said, "Yes, but there are some things I still haven't figured out." ”
"What?"
"That design. ”
……
It's all a scene like this, and there are some close-ups in the back, as well as shots of the surrounding streets. Although Bao Shiyi and Xu Chen did not forget the words, this scene was NG at the beginning.
Because there will be some accidents during filming, or the director is not satisfied with the performance of the actors in front of the camera just now. Many times, in such a situation, the director will say that he will keep a line, not over.
This kind of protection is to reshoot.
……
Because of the reshooting, everything has to be restarted.
Bao Shiyi said the line just now again.
"If we want, we can take it down. ”
……
"Still filming?"
The assistant director walked up to the assistant director and asked, "When will the filming be finished?"
The assistant director looked at the assistant director as if something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The assistant director shook his head and said, "It's Bao Shiyi's agent who called me again, saying that he had something urgent to tell Bao Shiyi." ”
Because the filming time abroad is not too long, Bao Shiyi did not let Xu's mother go abroad with her, and there will be nothing to do with the crew at all, so Xu's mother did not insist, but it was said that she would find an assistant for Bao Shiyi.
Xu's mother did not come to the United States with her, and now she is packing Eleven's mobile phone, because she is filming, Bao Eleven naturally will not put the mobile phone on her body, and let the assistant director hold it for safekeeping.
Now that the movie is shooting, the assistant director can't just come forward to interrupt, why don't you have to wait for this scene to finish filming before you can tell Bao Shiyi that there is something urgent. finally waited for the filming of this scene to be completed, and the assistant director hurriedly returned Bao Shiyi's mobile phone to its original owner.
"Bao Eleven, your agent called a few times and said that he had something very urgent to tell you. ”
Bao Shiyi frowned slightly when he heard the assistant director's words, very strange, what would happen at this time, now it is night in the United States, so it should be daylight in China.
Bao Shiyi looked at his mobile phone, and there were really a lot of missed calls on it.
With so many missed calls, Bao Shiyi's heart tightened, and he didn't know what was going on, why he made so many phone calls, and what happened.
didn't dare to think about it, Bao Shiyi hurriedly called back, but I didn't know what was going on, Xu's mother's mobile phone was turned off.
Why does the phone turn off?
Bao Shiyi had a very bad premonition in his heart.
The staff on the side saw Bao Shiyi calling again, and said with some hesitation: "Eleven, I'm going to start some reshooting of the shots later." ”
"Look—"
The staff is also not easy to urge Bao Eleven, so they can only ask how long it will take for Bao Eleven.
Bao Shiyi nodded, saying that he knew, and asked the staff to wait a little longer, no longer calling Xu's mother, but Xu Wanqing, wanting to ask Xu Wanqing what was the matter, presumably Xu Wanqing should know what her mother was looking for her urgently.
……
This time, Bao 11 called Xu Wanqing.
The call went through.
However, on the other end of the phone, Xu Wanqing's crying voice came, and the crying sound was accompanied by intermittent choked sobs, just like that, little by little, it hit Bao Shiyi's heart.
"Squad leader, what's wrong? What are you crying about?"
Bao Shiyi's whole heart was pinched, and he had an inexplicable sense of panic, looking at the filming location of the crew, and the staff was holding the schedule of "Death is Coming".
The words "Death is coming" on the agenda were so clear, and they suddenly broke into Bao Shiyi's eyes.
Death is coming?
Then, Xu Wanqing's hoarse voice came from the phone, and it sounded very sad, so she choked up and cried-
"Eleven, Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhang, she died. ”
