Chapter 54: Medfield Psychiatric Hospital
In Massachusetts, it's close to May, and even though the weather is getting hotter, the Medfield Mental Hospital is still cold and gloomy because it used to care for a group of patients, a very special group of patients.
However, today seems to be different from the past, and the hospital, which has always been rarely visited, suddenly became lively today, and a few reporters with cameras lurked motionless in the lawn of the mental hospital for a long time.
"Are you saying the news is true? Mist is coming to this place to make a new movie? ”
The reporter who spoke may have just entered the industry, so there was a slightly older man lying next to him.
"Shhh
Older men show great dissatisfaction with new journalists, like they do entertainment notes, where there is gossip news, as for the real surname of the news, it is guaranteed that 30% is already very good.
"But this is a mental hospital, what kind of scene did he come to this place to film?"
Although the young reporter was very dismissive of this, he still honestly lay on the haystack and continued to wait for his goal.
After about an hour, several medium-sized trucks stopped at the entrance of the Medfield Mental Hospital, and many staff members came out of the trucks, moving things down little by little.
"What are rocker film cameras, stereos, and audio mixers doing? Snapshot! ”
Medfield Psychiatric Hospital has a very retro architectural style, with a small fence outside, and the black and white composition also gives people a sharp visual contrast and impact.
Inside the fence, there were already a lot of staff standing at this time, each of them picking up the instruments or equipment in their hands, and there was a post-it note on the instrument, and the words "Shutter Island" were written on the label.
That's right, these people are all staff members of the crew of the movie "Shutter Island".
Prior to this, after determining all the actors, Xiansen looked for a suitable location for his own filming in the United States, and finally found this Medfield Psychiatric Hospital after being introduced, in fact, the hospital has ceased operation in the last century, and the current mental hospital is just a name, which is more convenient for Xiansen to shoot.
"Okay, let's stop what we're doing, I'd like to say a few words."
Xiansen walked to the set with a loudspeaker, and according to his habit, before the movie started, he would say a few useful and useless nonsense.
"First of all, I'm Mister Sen, and I'm sure some of you are already familiar with me, because we've worked together before. Of course, friends who know me well must know my habit, that is, during the filming, no matter who you are, if you don't meet my requirements, then I will definitely say something unpleasant, of course, you can ask me to apologize, but it must be after the shooting. We're friends in private, but you have to do what I say when you're shooting. ”
The crew of "Shutter Island" is different from when "50 First Loves" was filmed, there are more people in this crew, and Xiansen doesn't have the energy to let so many people introduce them one by one.
"Secondly, no one in my film crew has a special status, whether you are a Hollywood star or a running drama, your value to the movie is the same in my eyes, I said this in advance, if anyone is flying in the crew with their own identity, I will definitely let you leave, don't try to challenge me, you should know that I have never been afraid of challenges."
After Xiansen finished speaking, he unscrewed the pure water bottle in his hand and took a sip of water gently, because many actors in the crew of the movie "Shutter Island" are old actors, and some of the staff are arranged by Columbia, so the first step for Xiansen is to establish his own prestige, and "50 First Loves" is different from the unity of the people, and now this crew can be described as all kinds of people.
And, most importantly! When making a movie, I hope that any position in the crew should focus on shooting, the investment of the crew is not much, and I hope everyone will save it, if anyone is not satisfied with my work, criticism and correction are welcome, I need a united, cohesive team, and finally ask you again, can you do what I said? ”
The last sentence was shouted out, which also caused his voice to be a little hoarse.
"Yes! We can! ”
In unison, the answer was unanimous, and everyone gave an affirmative answer. Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiansen's face, he knew that this was the first step, but he was confident that he would go to the last step!
"Good! I announce that "Shutter Island" is officially launched! ”
Xiansen waved his hand vigorously as he spoke, and then walked out without saying a word, he needed to get out of here quickly, because he knew very well the pain when the script card took effect, and this time he had prepared for it in advance
There are two kinds of pain in this world that no one wants to experience, one is the labor pain of a woman during childbirth, and the other is the pain of a man's egg after being kicked. But if you let Xiansen say it, there should be another one more, that is, a headache when the script card takes effect.
A person who can only eat the next three steamed buns was forced into five steamed buns, and if the feeling of swelling and pain occurs in the brain again, it is what Xiansen feels now.
Lying in the car, Xiansen gasped weakly, he felt that he was between dying and not dying, on the verge of pain and transcendence.
"Director, you, are you okay, I don't think your situation is right."
After leaving the set, Xiansen got into a small car, which he arranged in advance, and told the driver to wait for him to get in the car and drive as far away from the set as possible.
"It's okay, call me an old problem."
The pain didn't last very long, and when all the script materials were poured into the brain, the tense person completely relaxed at that moment, as if he was holding an inflated balloon and suddenly being punctured by an embroidery needle.
"The five-star script card "Shutter Island" really lives up to its name!"
After spitting out such a sentence, Xiansen's eyes darkened and he fainted.
"Director! Director! Director"
When Xiansen woke up, he was lying on the hospital bed again, this was the second time he was hospitalized this year, and he fainted from pain.
"Anyway, why did I faint in pain this time?"
Xiansen was a little puzzled, you must know that although it was very painful last time, he had not completely lost consciousness, could it be said that his ability to resist pain had decreased? Thinking of this, Xiansen summoned something that he had completely forgotten.
Mr. Sen, a star
Vitality: 43/6/11 day 07 hours 33 minutes 15.38 seconds
This is Xiansen's character card, and when he saw that his vitality had decreased by almost half compared to the last time, Xiansen was stunned.
"Why is my health force so low?"
"To answer the player's question, excessive pain will cause the player's vitality to decrease rapidly, if you want to recover, please go to psychiatric treatment."
The system's answer was still a cold mechanical voice, and after hearing such an answer, Xiansen asked with some fear: "Then will I die because of the decline in vitality?" ”
"To answer the player's question, when the health is ten days below the death line, the system will give the player a reminder."
Does this sentence mean that you will really die? And this broken system is still lacking in morality, will send a death report to himself ten days in advance? Thinking of this, Xiansen couldn't help but have the urge to scold.
Influence: 30 (you're already famous)
Image value: 70 (temperament and figure are your best conditions)
Further down is the skill value, the strength value, the fame, the directorial career and the award-winning experience.
Skill Value: 65 (You can make a good movie)
Strength: 65 (Defeat one or two people)
Fame: 30 (in Hollywood you are an up-and-coming young director)
Awards: Arcadia School District's 7th Best Breakthrough Award for Micro Advertising
In addition, there is one more thing in the director's career, which has been blank.
"The first movie "50 First Loves", did you receive the fledgling medal?"
"Medals?"
Xiansen estimated that it should be something like a prize, nodded and chose to receive it.
"To get the Fledgling Medal, players can draw a card at random."
Julie Barrymore hadn't seen Xiansen for a long time after the end of the movie "50 First Loves" because she had received a new movie, and she had no time to think about anything else because she was busy with the new movie.
After a busy day of shooting, Julie returned to the hotel very tired, and before she could sit down, she heard her mobile phone ring.
"Hey, is it Sister Ju'er?"
The voice on the other side was very eager, and Ju'er could tell it, it was the voice of the little girl Rachel.
"Rachel? What's wrong? Is there anything urgent? ”
Julie Barrymore asked, confused.
"Sister Juer, come to Massachusetts State Hospital, Misty has written several suicide notes, one of which is for you!"
"What? Note? ”
Julie Barrymore put down her phone in horror and hurried out without saying a word.
"You must not have any accidents!"
Walking on the road, Julie couldn't help but shed tears of worry.
