Chapter 26 Crew Formation
What kind of movie to make? Wang Ling thought about it early in the morning, the midnight bell, I remember that when I watched this movie in the middle of the night, the terrifying music and the terrifying picture made him almost wet the bed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I have to say that the level of horror films in Little Japan is really high, and I don't know if I can remake it by myself, I don't know if it can exceed the effect of the original book, it seems that I not only have to use my top directing skills, but also go to the mall to find out if there are any black props available.
The characters in the original Midnight Bell are all Japanese names, first to change to Chinese names, the heroine is a reporter, it is called Xia Xiaochuan, the male protagonist is still called Takayama, and Sadako is called Sadakoto.
Wang Ling spent a night, first wrote the script, and then went online to find a few horror movies made in this world and watched them, in order not to affect Yuanyuan's rest, he also deliberately wore headphones.
The horror movies in this world really didn't disappoint him, it's not that they made it well, but they really made it badly, and made the ghost movie into a family ethics drama or an educational film, it's strange that someone watches such a movie, no wonder it will hit the street.
The next day, Baogen didn't go to work anymore, and Yiyi also arrived early, and they were all waiting to see Wang Ling's horror movie script.
A few people sat down in front of the broken laptop and watched.
The story is about my country in the nineties, a female high school student and her classmates watched a video tape of unknown origin, at twelve o'clock in the night, they received a phone call, there was only a murmur in it, seven days later, she and her classmates died one after another, this incident attracted the attention of reporter Xia Xiaochuan, she decided to investigate the cause of the incident.
When she learned that her friend had also died because she had watched a videotape, she took her son to her friend's house, and learned that her friend's expression when he died was exactly the same as when she investigated the two high school deaths, and when she saw the photo of her friend when he went on a trip, she found that the friend in the photo had a layer of fog on his face and some distorted facial organs.
Ogawa managed to make the tape through clues, and she found that there were clips in the tape, such as a volcanic eruption, a woman combing her hair, eyes with the word "sada" printed on it, a well, and nothing else. But Xiaochuan suddenly found that there was a white figure behind him reflected on the TV, and when he turned his head, he found that it was empty. At this time, the phone rang too, and like those who died, there was only a cacophony in the phone.
Ogawa asks her ex-husband Takayama to help, Takayama finds the eruption of the volcano mentioned in the picture after investigation, and then goes to investigate, Ogawa takes his son to visit his father, and Takayama tells Ogawa that there is a local woman who predicted the volcano eruption, but was regarded as a monster, and then committed suicide. After listening to this, Ogawa fell asleep with a lot of worry, and got up in the middle of the night when he heard his son's voice, and was horrified to find that Yoichi was actually watching a videotape.
The son told the frightened Ogawa that her dead friend had let her see it. Ogawa decided to investigate with Takayama for the sake of Yoichi's life, and on the way, Takayama told Ogawa that Mitsu, the woman in the picture, met and married a doctor because of her special abilities, but because of the sarcasm of the media, Mitsu committed suicide after going crazy, and the doctor also disappeared. The two left behind a daughter named Zhenqin.
At this time, Takayama also died inexplicably, and his expression before death was as distorted as anyone else who had seen the videotape. She was terrified, for fear that her son would also die, and she was surprised to find that she didn't die, could it be because she brought the video to her ex-husband, so she escaped? So, she came up with the idea of having her son give the tape to his father.
This is the end of the story, but Baogen and Yiyi in front of the computer are creepy. Yiyi, who claims to be bold, is holding her arms, and the goosebumps on her hands are clearly visible.
"This story is so scary, just looking at the words I can have a terrifying feeling, if it is made into a movie, it will definitely become a milestone in the history of horror movies." Yiyi said.
"I dreamed of becoming an actor, I started studying movies very early, I never knew that horror movies could be so terrifying, compared with your story, those previous horror movies were really weak and violent." Baogen agreed.
"I will be proud if you say that. It's just a small trial, and you haven't seen a better movie yet. Although this midnight bell is good, I don't know if the audience will buy it, everything will not be known until the movie is released. ”
"Yes, the current audience doesn't agree with horror movies, and if you want everyone to go into the theater to watch movies, you have to increase publicity."
"Now that the script is available, the next step is to form a crew and recruit actors."
"How do you call actors? We don't have experience! I know models from some modeling agencies, or advertising agencies, and I don't know if anyone has ever made a movie. ”
"I can find my classmates from my previous acting training class and let them try it out."
"I also recently applied for a Weibo account, because the novel became popular, there are a lot of fans, I usually don't send any news, today try to post a message on Weibo for the whole society, I believe the master is in the people."
"Then I'll go to the major brokerage companies to inquire if there are any cheap actors." Yi Yi finally thought of a way to help.
"It's decided, everyone works together."
The enthusiasm of the three was high, and the efficiency was extremely high, and soon, an announcement appeared on Wang Ling's Weibo.
The content of the announcement naturally said that he planned to make a movie, and people with film industry experience are welcome to interview to form a crew, and people with actor dreams are welcome to interview for the role of this horror movie. The treatment is preferential, if you want to participate, please contact XXX, phone number 1XXXXXXXXXX.
Of course, the location of the interview cannot be in their own home, and if the home address is known, then it will be called Forever Peace, and they rent a small office in an office building as their crew's base.
As soon as this news came out, it attracted the attention of the majority of Wang Ling fans.
"Teacher Wang finally spoke, I haven't seen him speak since Mr. Wang opened Weibo."
"Teacher Dingwang, I finally saw a living person."
"It's not easy, it's a corpse."
It turns out that you all thought I was dead!
"Mr. Wang plans to enter the film industry?"
"Don't, Mr. Wang, you should write your novel seriously, let's all wait and see, what about the good Condor Trilogy, and the good Xiaoao Jianghu and Lu Ding Ji?"
"Mr. Wang, don't be unprofessional, do your promising job as a novelist!"
"Mr. Wang, I support you, I will definitely cheer for the movie when it is released." This is a die-hard fan, and Wang Ling was moved for a while.
"Mr. Wang, you want to make a horror movie? You'd better give up, you'll hit the streets! "Fans who think they are kind.
"Sit back and wait for Mr. Wang's movie to hit the street."
Fans have everything they say, Wang Ling's novels have a large number of fans, and they do everything, and naturally some of them are film practitioners.
"Mr. Wang, I am a field agent, our crew has just finished filming, and we haven't started a new drama yet, if your crew calls people, I want to try it."
"Mr. Wang, whether your crew will summon a cameraman or not, my skills are not bad."
"I'm doing editing work, and if you can use my words, Mr. Wang can just speak."
"Mr. Wang, I have been a group performer, I like your novels very much, and I hope to run tricks in your movies."
……
In Weibo, there were countless messages, and Wang Ling couldn't read them, so he could only reply in a unified manner.
Thank you for the enthusiastic reply of the majority of novel fans, I am here to offer you the most sincere respect, because there are too many messages, can not do a reply one by one, now suddenly in this announcement, the day after tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, in the XX Road XX Building on the 8th floor of the midnight bell film studio for the crew interview, for one day, the day after tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning to start the actor audition, for three days, I hope that interested people bring their resumes to participate in the interview.
As soon as the Weibo news came out, the next day, major media also rushed to report it.
"Famous novelist Wang Ling announced the filming of the movie"
"Genius Painter Wang Ling Enters the Film and Television Industry"
"Is it to hit the street or become popular? Wang Ling's unpopular horror film
……
Lin Xi, who received the news, also called, "Why don't you tell me if you want to make a movie, I only found out after reading the newspaper, it's too much." Don't you want to give me an exclusive report, is it easy for me as a little intern reporter! ”
Wang Ling then remembered, cold sweat came out, "What, I just received a manuscript fee, I had a whim, I wanted to make a movie to play, I have been writing a script for the past two days, this busy, I forgot to inform you, you have a lot of adults, let go of the small one this time!" ”
"Want me to let you go? How can it be so easy! ”
"Then I'll treat you to a big dinner?"
"I don't have an appetite, but for the sake of your sincerity, I'll barely eat it, but I still have to see the script first, is there a problem?"
"No problem, no problem, the script will be sent to you in a moment."
"So well-behaved, I'll let you go this time, and next time it's like this, it's not a matter of a meal."
The formation of the crew is very smooth, most of the people who come to interview are professionals, the quality of the movies in this world is not high, and the output is not high, so the competition among practitioners is very fierce, Wang Ling chose the most experienced according to their qualifications.
Bao Gen also said goodbye to his beloved excavator, he quit his job and came to Wang Ling's electricity as a producer, on the one hand, he had been a lot of roles before, and he knew a little about the operation of the crew. On the other hand, you can also learn more experience.
The heroine is there, the producer is there, and the other staff members have been successfully summoned. Ten people were summoned for the field work, six set designers, five lighting, four makeup artists, and two cameramen, and Wang Ling took care of the post-production, composition, and editing.
The crew was summoned, and Wang Ling called everyone to a meeting that night and got to know each other, what Xiao Zhao, Xiao Qian, Xiao Sun, Xiao Li.
"This is my first time making a movie, and many people are not optimistic, they are waiting to see my jokes, saying that I am inexperienced, and I am shooting horror themes, and I will definitely hit the streets, but I don't believe it, I just want them to see if our horror film will work. If you can come to the interview, it means that you can look up to me, this is our fate, and I will definitely take you to create a new history of horror movies together. ”
