Chapter 140: The Phantom of the Night
"Listen, I'm going to call the police!"
In the glass window of the door, the blonde showed her upper face, and her eyes were full of fear when she looked out.
"It's too late for them, they're too far from here."
In order to enhance the atmosphere of the scene, an actor was standing in front of the megaphone and said in a strange voice.
His voice sounded to Ryan's ears not like a psychopathic killer at all, but like a duck in heat.
David? Finch gestured, and the camera behind the door was already filming, at which point the main shot naturally shifted into the room.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Holding the cordless phone, the blonde spun around anxiously, tears of fear streaming down her white cheeks, as if she was about to collapse at any moment.
"I want to see what the inside of your body is!"
The phrase has an eerie and cold flavor, but the voice on the phone will definitely be re-dubbed in post-production.
The blonde quickly hung up the phone, her body trembled with fear, tears on her face were even more abundant, and she walked towards the living room with her lower abdomen in her hands, as if this would make her feel at ease.
At this moment, the doorbell rang twice in a hurry.
Like a fried golden cat, the girl turned in fright, and asked in a trembling voice, "Yes...... Who? Who's in ...... There? β
βCutοΌβ
David? Finch shouted a halt at this point, apparently Drew? Barrymore has a problem again, "Drew, fear and panic are not ...... enough"
"I'm sorry, David."
"Well, take a half-hour break."
This long shot has been NG several times in a row. The crew let out a sigh at this time, and it dispersed like the sea at low tide.
Ryan was standing next to the camera all the time. Looking at the lens inside, he shook his head slightly. Drew? Barrymore's chaotic life in the past few years has had a very obvious impact on her, and her acting skills have declined a lot.
She can be regarded as a person with outstanding acting talent, coupled with the fact that she was born in an acting family since she was a child, according to the general truth, she should achieve greater achievements in the future, so as not to become a vase like in her previous life.
It's a pity that her life and that baby face limited her acting career.
This scene is the centerpiece of the movie, David? Vinci's requirements are also extraordinarily strict. After NG more than ten times, it was considered to be the end of this group of shots.
At this time, the time was close to midnight, and the crew called it a day.
The crew rented a lot of single houses near the community center as the residence of the crew, and when they entered their own houses, Ryan found out that he and Drew lived in the same two-story building, and of course Julis lived in the same building? Stewart.
"Don't be surprised. I have the best facilities here. Drew said with a grin, but his eyes were always rolling around, as if he was planning something.
Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said hello to Julis. Walking directly upstairs to his room, it was clear that Drew and David? Finch is the same as Julis. In the crew is the privileged class.
This is normal, what kind of status in Hollywood is worth what kind of treatment. Nothing surprising, let alone that. Strictly speaking, Drew is also one of the owners of the film.
In the movie, this kind of remote town is often a place of horror, but Ryan is not worried about this, George lives next door to him, and he is more worried about whether the troublesome spirit who lives downstairs will do something again.
However, the living conditions here are indeed a little simpler, there is no bathroom in the bedroom, and it is a hassle to go to the toilet at night.
Although the living environment was indeed bad enough in the first few years of rebirth in this world, Ryan has lived quite comfortably in recent years, and I have to say that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
After cleaning up the bed, Ryan couldn't help laughing at himself, unconsciously he had long been accustomed to his current identity, and under Nicole's infinite spoiling, he was indeed a little pampered.
Lying on the bed, but without any sleep, Ryan's head flashed Nicole's tall figure for a while, Natalie's thin appearance for a while, and the two of them overlapped together and became a person.
Damn it! Ryan sat up helplessly, could it be that the hormones in his body really started to call the police?
Putting on his pajamas and slippers, he simply opened the door and walked out, ready to go to the bathroom, the design of this house is very awkward, and to go to the bathroom is to the first floor.
The next door creaked open, and George's figure flashed out, and Ryan made a reassuring gesture to him, turning the hallway and descending the stairs.
After solving the personal problem, when Ryan washed his hands, he vaguely heard the sound of the door opening and closing, but he didn't care much, this is not a horror movie, will there be a mask killer?
Wiping the water from his hands, he walked into the living room, where only a dim lamp emitted a weak light, illuminating the whole room a little gloomy and obscure, with a faint hint of inexplication.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from behind the high-backed couch, like a rat stealing food, or like a human knee touching a thick carpet.
In the silence of the night, the sound was so obvious that Ryan naturally heard it in his ears.
Who is it? He frowned, could it be that there were rats in the room? Or did a thief break in? I heard that many crews have encountered thieves when they go out on location, is it possible that they are so lucky?
Whether in his past life or in this life, Ryan is a bold man, although he has been deliberately staying away from danger since he was reborn, and when his curiosity comes up, he can't care so much.
Besides, since George came to his side, his training hasn't stopped, and the average adult is really no match for him.
Slowing slightly, Ryan walked over to the high-backed couch and suddenly thought of the horror movie pattern summarized in "Scream" - that the person who alone checked the source of the noise would dieβand couldn't help but laugh.
As he got closer and closer, Ryan keenly noticed that something black moved behind the sofa, it seemed to be a fabric or something, it looked very familiar, as if it was ...... It seems to be a black robe......
Suddenly. A creepy laugh rang out, and a dark figure stood up from behind the couch. Hollow eyes stared straight at him.
I'm X! Ryan subconsciously scolded out a sentence in Chinese, which one is this?
The person opposite was wrapped in a black robe. Wearing a pointed one-piece black hat on his head, the skeletal white face that covers his face is exaggerated and funny, and it looks nondescript, but the long-bladed dagger held in his right hand is cold in the dim light, which makes people shudder.
This is exactly what the psychopathic killer in "Scream" looks like!
No way! Could it be that before the first movie was filmed, someone learned the techniques used in the movie to kill people? Luckily, I was bumped into by myself?
Ryan didn't hesitate any longer and shouted, "George! β
Meanwhile. The man in black also moved, holding the sharp knife and pounced on Ryan, looking at the stance, as if he wanted to pierce a few transparent holes in him.
Dense footsteps rang out in the hallway on the second floor, and it was clear that George was coming.
But the man in black rushed at such a fast speed that it was unrealistic to wait for George, so Ryan could only save himself, and just as the other party rushed to him, he turned sideways and gave way to the sharp knife. grabbed the other person's wrist.
Why is this guy so amateurish? Why not the more lethal thorn, but the chop? This is just a dagger, not a machete?
Questions flashed through Ryan's mind, but he didn't think much about it. The self-defense technique that he had practiced for a long time worked, and he dragged his hands with him, using the momentum of the man in black. Suddenly twisted his waist and turned around, using the back fall that he was best at.
It was not what he expected. The man in black is not heavy, and he does not have much strength. The combat power is obviously scum, and Ryan was easily thrown over his head and smashed heavily on the carpet.
After the dull sound of "bang", there was a miserable cry from the man in black, but it was just ...... Why is it so familiar?
"Ryan!"
George had already rushed to the stairs, saw what was happening in the living room on the first floor, and couldn't care about anything else, he directly climbed over the staircase guardrail, jumped down, and when he landed, an electric shocker was already in his hand.
"cough~cough~"
The man in black didn't seem to have the ability to get up, lying flat on the ground and coughing constantly, probably because of Ryan's stubble.
"Wait, George!"
Ryan hurriedly stopped the bodyguards who wanted to completely subdue the other party.
The cough just now was obviously a woman's voice, and Ryan also stepped on the sharp knife under his feet, where was a real knife, which was clearly a prop used by the crew for filming, but a piece of cardboard coated with a layer of shiny metallic paint.
You're so bored! Ryan cursed and tore off the skeletal mask of the man in black, revealing a cute baby face in front of his and George's eyes.
"Did something happen?" Julis ran out of the room with her mobile phone, "Do you need me to call the police?" β
"No need."
Ryan rolled her eyes, and Julis could only sigh as she saw the people on the ground clearly, "It's not the first time she's done such a prank." β
"Really?" Ryan said that this guy was lucky not to be killed.
Just poor Drew? Miss Barrymore, apparently so angry with Ryan that she couldn't say anything, but her face turned red, she coughed incessantly, and a few sparkling tears flowed from her poor eyes.
"George, pour a glass of water."
Ryan helplessly will Drew? Barrymore propped himself up on the couch and glared at her viciously, thankfully there were no outsiders in the house, otherwise it would have become a big Hollywood joke.
"Ahem...... Me, ahem......"
Drew drank the water that George handed over, slowly smoothed the breath, and said with a sad face while gently stroking his thighs and buttocks, "I...... I just wanted to play a joke on you and scare you......"
"Are you kidding?" Ryan looked her up and down to make sure the guy wasn't hurt, and then said, "You want to see me make a fool of myself, right?" β
Faced with Ryan's vicious expression, Drew shrunk his neck, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, but he said unwillingly, "Who knew that you were so bold, you weren't afraid at all, you are still not a little ghost after all!" β
"Boring!"
Too lazy to bother with her, Ryan turned and walked upstairs, deciding that it would be better not to deal with this guy than to cooperate in the movies, otherwise God would know what kind of prank she would make again.
The next day, Ryan left Sonoma and returned to Los Angeles after just spending the morning on the set, presumably because of what happened last night that made Drew? Barrymore was a little weak-hearted, and was obviously much more honest in front of him. (To be continued......)
