Chapter 259: The coffin is buried alive

On this day, Wang Yang was directly hired in Hollywood's Sony company, and he was also looking for a producer in the past two days, and he was also very lucky, he found a better producer in Sony, his name is Jasper. Koy.

Jasper. Coe is a white American, with natural blonde curly hair, a very mature middle-aged American man, about forty years old, although he does not have any particularly famous film works, but he also has a lot of experience in small films, and it is absolutely not difficult for him to produce "Buried Alive" with him.

When Wang Yang walked in, there was already a long line of actors outside his interview room, all of them lined up, sitting neatly on the chairs outside, and naturally there were many people who did not have seats and were standing.

None of them got the script of "Buried Alive", because this movie is actually a very test of imagination, a very abstract movie, and it needs to imagine a more depressing scene.

"The director is here."

"Well, let's get started."

Jasper. Koi nodded hurriedly, he walked out, opened the back door, and then shouted, "Come in." ”

The actor who was the first to interview came in.

It's a boy in his twenties, of course, only the male lead is recruited today, and it seems that this movie doesn't need any other roles besides the male lead.

"Please make a self-introduction number?"

"Okay. Director, producer, my name is Milo. Bernal ......"

After the boy was introduced. Wang Yangcai said: "If you are imprisoned in a coffin now. Just one day you suddenly woke up. It's locked in a coffin, and you put on a show. ”

"Okay...... Oh, my God! Oh, how could I be here, oh God, is this a coffin? ”

Wang Yang and producer Jasper. Coy wiped his nose, and he felt a little funny about this guy.

"Let's get out. Please call the next one in. ”

Jasper. Coy said, and the first actor clapped his hands, looked disdainful, and turned away.

Wang Yang and Jasper. After Coy glanced at each other, he said: "It may be good to get used to it, in the United States, there are very many such amateur actors, and it is very difficult to choose among the amateur actors with better acting skills."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to try it."

Interview actor No. 2 comes in. Wang Yang and Jasper. Coy shook his head again.

No. 3 ......

Number 4 ......

This batch of actors was interviewed in the past, Wang Yang and Jasper. Khoi is getting more and more disappointed. But he said to a few boys, "Wait for the notice." ”

Actually, don't speak, or just say, "Man, go home." ”

It's all about saying, "Fuck off!" ”

And to say wait for the notification means that you can't wait.

All in all, on the first day, Wang Yang was very disappointed, but he didn't find an actor who met the invitation in his mind.

Of course, it's certain that pig's feet are hard to find, otherwise, the streets will be full of actors.

Next, for several days of hard work, Wang Yang did not find an actor who suited him.

Jasper. As a producer, Coy naturally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Director, why don't you just recommend an actor to you?" ”

"What's the pay?" Wang Yang asked.

"The director can rest assured, he is a rookie actor, the salary is not high, and if the schedule is only one week, then it will definitely not exceed 6,000 US dollars."

"Okay, in that case, let's give it a try." Wang Yang nodded, if he said that in order to make this movie boo, he would definitely invest more money, but on an actor's movie, why waste so much money, this movie, cost one or two hundred thousand dollars, and then wait to get the award, and then sell the copyright.

A movie of 10,000 or 20,000 dollars, after having honor, it is completely different, at least there is no need to worry about not being able to sell at all, not to mention that there are millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars of copyright authorization, Wang Yang believes that it can be obtained.

Wang Yang doesn't know exactly how much the income of this movie was back then, but it can only be said that it is not necessarily under his investment and filming now.

"What's his name?"

"It's called Clay. Cornwallis. ”

Wang Yang listened and nodded.

……

Cornwallis is an actor who has been in Hollywood for some years, he has dropped out of school since he was 18 years old, because he likes acting very much, so he came to Hollywood from his hometown.

He now lives in a very shabby apartment, yo a very nasty old man landlord, every time he goes back to the apartment, he will pull a hoarse voice, limp up to him, the voice is like a duck, shouting: "Cornwallis, your elevator maintenance fee should be paid!" ”

When Cornwallis heard this, his mood seemed to be like a needle prick, he was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but turn his head and say, "Mr. Edward, I remember that I had already handed it over a few days ago. ”

"Have you paid it, it's obviously not, if you do, I'll keep it on the books here, Cornwallis, don't lie to people when you're so young!"

Cornwallis was already tired and sleepy, so he had to take $15 out of his pocket and hand it to the landlord.

"Good ......"

However, every time he got on the elevator, the landlord's voice came from behind him: "Cornwallis! You didn't pay for the elevator maintenance last month! Cornwallis, you got me down. ”

Life is really terrible, but since the last time he starred in a supporting role in a movie, which hit the box office, he has not been found by the director and producer.

Cornwallis lay in bed, and he sometimes wondered why his life was so miserable when his fate was so miserable.

Jingle Bell ...... The phone rang.

"Who?"

Cornwallis got up, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello. ”

On the other end of the line, a voice said, "Cornwallis." I have a role here. Just one week. The salary is $5,000. ”

"$5,000, can I?" Cornwallis's excited eyes were about to burst into tears, it had been a long time since he received such a big role, and usually, he played some small cameo roles on the set, such as being an extra, a passer-by on the side of the road, etc., and he made fifty or sixty dollars a day. Being able to earn more than $1,000 a month is probably pretty good.

It's like a role that is paid for $5,000 a week, but I remember that after the last performance, it was gone.

"Thank you, producer."

"Don't thank me, it's a foreign director, I don't think he cares about your past, you come over tomorrow, have a good performance, it's about the coffin buried alive. You can figure it out first, guess you're in a coffin......" Producer Ke Yin told him some of the content of the movie in advance.

After all, Keyin thinks this kid. is a very good actor, but he just missed a little bit of good luck and a good opportunity.

Ke Yin is very clear that in this world, there are many actors who can successfully become famous, but because of bad luck, after all, in good strength, if you are not so lucky, you will naturally not be able to succeed in becoming famous.

After Cornwallis lay down in bed, he closed his eyes and thought carefully about what he would do if he encountered such a situation as "being buried alive"?

Unlike other actors, he can analyze, think from multiple angles, and reason.

Cornwallis thought, that he was buried alive, this situation is either kidnapped by a foreigner, or he has encountered a change. State killer?

What kind of story will the director make?

In this way, he sank into sleep in repeated thoughts.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when Cornwallis opened his eyes, he immediately got up from the bed, washed up quickly, and very skillfully, and made himself a simple breakfast, and warmed the milk while frying eggs.

After eating a few simple biscuits and cleaning up his appearance, he looked at an old wall clock hanging on the wall, and it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

Carrying his bag and what he needed, Cornwallis walked out the door.

Standing on the street, I suddenly felt like I was living, and the color of the sky seemed to be changing.

Of course, Cornwallis had to get the role this time.

$5,000 is enough for his rent and transportation costs for the next six months.

He hadn't been a taxi for a long time, so he intercepted one, because if he waited for the bus, he was afraid that his suit would be wrinkled.

……

……

"Cornwallis?"

An hour later, he appeared in an interview room with a table in front of him, behind which sat a director, a producer, and on the table there was a sign on which he knew the names of the director and producer, including that he had also received some simple information about the film.

Buried Alive, an American construction contractor who is attacked by a group of Ilac while working at Ilak wakes up to find himself buried alive in a coffin, and he must fight against time to escape with only his mobile phone and a flashlight.

Then I called 911, my wife, my colleagues, and so on.

After a lot of phone calls, in fact, it was becoming more and more desperate.

The film ends with no ending.

It's just that there are some rescue sounds from the voice of the mobile phone, but when the rescue is made, the name shouted is not the name of the protagonist.

All in all, the script is absolutely wonderful, and the ending is very difficult to guess.

"Cornwallis, start your show." Ko Yin said, looking at him seriously.

Cornwallis's mind immediately began to think of a performance he had already guessed he had tried several times before going to bed last night.

First of all, he did something that made Wang Yang feel very praised, so he lay on the ground without hesitation, and the posture was not very casual, but curled up, a posture after this. Immediately, it made people feel obvious again. It's also intuitive.

itself this film. In fact, the test is how a person can show a real situation in the environment of a not very real coffin, which actually requires a certain amount of acting skills, and there is also a real reaction that can only be done after integrating acting skills.

Cornwallis lay down on the ground, nervous as if he was unconscious, then got up and rubbed his hand. The whole set is a fairly real expression and action, all of which make Wang Yang nod.

Ke Yin also said at this time: "Director, what do you think of this actor?" ”

"It's called Cornwallis, right?"

"Yes, director."

"That's him."

When Wang Yang said this, Cornwallis, who was lying on the ground, was so excited that his tears really wanted to fall, and he stood up and kept bending down and bowing to Wang Yang and Keyin.

5,000 US dollars is equivalent to 15,000 yuan in Huaxia, and if you can earn so much in a week, it is actually a very considerable income.

Especially in the area of extras.

"You fill out the form for him."

"Okay."

After Wang Yang came over and shook hands with him, he also smiled and expressed encouragement, which only he knew. The young actor in front of him will not be popular for a while. But as long as there is the work "Buried Alive", maybe this work will become his masterpiece.

……

……

After more than a week of preparation, Wang Yang found the leading actor, and the coffin was ready, and all the props were transported to a studio next to it.

Burying this movie alive, there is not much light in the whole film, so when shooting, it is also necessary to maintain a state of no lighting, and the entire studio is wrapped in black cloth.

Although the cold wind of the air conditioner was constantly blowing, for Cornwallis, who was going to act in the coffin, he also knew that the next thing was a chore.

Lighting, camera, clothing, makeup, in fact, there are not many people, and these people don't have any work, so Wang Yang invited to help for a day, and the next day he can really consider letting them not use it.

There are a few people on the set, Wang Yang really has a wonderful feeling, maybe this movie is really generous, because in the process of shooting, it has been completely felt.

"Cornwallis, when you lie down, your posture shrinks a little, and then you start performing a simple act inside as you do according to the script."

"Good director."

"Are you familiar with the props?"

"Familiar."

Wang Yang took the lighter, hit it, and then hit it again and said, "Remember, how to use the lighter." ”

In fact, as long as you put the camera on the coffin, and then shoot 360 degrees without dead angles according to different angles, in the end, it means that you can shoot the best material, and then cut it, you can make a complete movie.

After Cornwallis lay down, Wang Yang instructed them to move the lid of the coffin, so that the outside could not be seen from the inside, but the camera did not need much space, and if it was filmed, it would actually be covered with a layer of cloth.

As for Wang Yang, he must have sat in another room, with air conditioning, and it wouldn't be so hot.

The environment in the studio is still a little too bad.

On the monitor, the picture inside is still dark, which is completely in line with the theme of the movie.

Now the first scene is to shoot some dark, but not completely black shots.

The actor is wearing headphones, Wang Yang is holding the walkie-talkie and shouting to start, and Cornwallis inside will start performing.

From the monitor, I saw some very faint changes, in the sound of the scene, some movements in the coffin could be directly heard, Wang Yang watched, listened, and immediately entered the shooting state of the movie.

"Yes, this actor is good." Wang Yang has to say that he has found a very suitable actor, a talented one, and most importantly, a good ability to understand the script.

Bang~

Bang~ There was a stab, the lighter went off, and then there was the sound of a vibrating mobile phone, and Cornwallis turned anxiously in the coffin, the space was not large, and the camera was already able to capture a faint face of him.

Of course, when the lighter is lit, you can see more of the space.

After tossing for almost half an hour, Wang Yang stopped shooting, basically after half an hour, he took several shots, or a long shot.

"Change, change on the second coffin."

……

Three days later, the movie "Buried Alive" was completed, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations, there was no way, it was so fast, the performance of the leading actor was very amazing, almost no stuck, it was completely like a documentary.

Wang Yang was very happy, because when the final was finished, Cornwallis asked him nervously: "Director, we finished the call in three or four days, so is my salary still 5,000 US dollars?" ”

The American is frank, he listened, naturally smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Of course, that's for sure, $5,000 will not be given to you less." ”

The post-production of "Buried Alive" took Wang Yang five days to cut out, because it was filmed with a digital video camera, and the post-production done by the computer was almost cut by himself.

In just five days, he not only cut the post-production, but also made a simple promotional video.

The one-minute propaganda video is a few key shots, which connect the footage of the Iraq War back then, making it a very blockbuster, and then this video was directly shared on the Internet.

I have to say that after the promotional video of "Buried Alive" was uploaded to the Internet, it immediately attracted the attention of many people who love literature and art. (To be continued......)
