Chapter 133: Peach Blossom Noodles (7)

Xu Miao went crazy on the set, and the reason for her madness turned out to be hell!

Xu Miao is currently filming a locally produced TV series about the ups and downs of the life of opera master Yan Anling. Xu Miao plays Yan Anling, who is from a teenager to a young man, and is one of the heroines of this drama.

The scene filmed yesterday is a clip about Yan Anling's adolescent years when she went to the countryside and still insisted on practicing the play. In order to pursue the filming effect of film and television dramas, the director team deliberately pulled the actors to the countryside, and found relatively simple villages and rented the village committee there.

The filming in the first half of the night went very smoothly, telling the story of Yan Anling being ridiculed by a female classmate who went to the countryside together in the dormitory.

The content of the second half of the night is roughly the same as that of the first half of the night, but with one more point. It is about Yan Anling who was tired of singing, so she rested on the stage, but she dreamed back at midnight and dreamed of the seniors who had sung on this stage. That senior, a drama idiot, was brutally killed for refusing to sing for the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War. When he was killed, he stood on this stage in his costume. Yan Anling made up a touching excerpt because of this dream, and because of this play, she met her husband, who is a drama director, and since then the couple have been in love and composed a good story in the opera industry.

"What was it like?" Chang Tae asked the director of this TV series.

"I don't know very well, when Xu Miao went crazy, we had just finished debugging the camera, and then she was playing on stage with another actress, the drama master who played the ghost. At that time, I was staring at the camera and the set and everything, so I didn't pay much attention to the situation on stage. ”

"What about the actress who played the master? Can we see it? ”

"Yes, yes, I just don't know if it will stimulate her again. A young girl in her twenties, experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, was terrified. ”

"What about people?"

"Rest in the dormitory." The director pointed to a house not far away.

Those houses belonged to the brigade headquarters of this village, and they were originally office places, but because of the arrival of the crew, they were vacated as dormitories for actresses. The actor and the rest of the crew live in makeshift shacks. These local actors are more able to endure hardships, and they don't have too much pickiness about the filming environment and accommodation, unlike those celebrities, who often have to five-star hotels, RVs or something. Among these actors, Xu Miao can barely be regarded as a hot star.

Before using Xu Miao, the director was still a little worried, because a lot of Xu Miao's popularity was based on negative effects, although Xu Miao could also bring some attention to his TV series, but it was impossible to say whether the final result was good or bad.

But if you don't use Xu Miao, just these local actors and drama-themed TV series, it is estimated that this drama will not even have a chance to warm up. Fortunately, Xu Miao has been working hard since she joined the group, and she is not like a small star who likes to play big names as rumored outside.

As for Xu Miao's acting skills, the director still recognizes it, after all, he is a newcomer, and he can't be too harsh.

After a brief understanding of Xu Miao's situation in the crew, Chang Tai took Ding Dang to find the actress who played against Xu Miao.

She seemed to be in good spirits, but her face was a little pale.

"Hello, we are from the Municipal Criminal Police Brigade, can you tell us about the situation at that time?" Ding Dang is a woman, and if she talks to the actress directly, the effect will be much better than that of Chang Tai, a big man.

"Hello, I'm the actress of this crew, just call me Qingqing." The actress stroked her hair, "That day, we were filming a night scene, and the filming scene was that stage. ”

Qingqing said, walked to the window, and pointed to the big stage outside.

"It was very windy that night, and although there were walls on three sides of the stage, it was still blown by the wind. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many staff on site, I would have the guts to stand on it alone at all. I heard that the stage has been around for a long time, and in that special era, people really died on it. ”

"Spread the word?"

"No, it's true, when we came to the village to film, the old people in the village told us." Qingqing said, shyly smiling: "At the beginning, I also listened to it as a joke. Just as ghost stories are rife in all colleges and universities, there are similar stories in all villages. However, when I learned about it in the early stage, I read the introduction of this stage, this stage is really some years old, but at that time, the stage was not as roofed as it is now, it was a simple stage for singing. The older generation is also particular about singing, and they will build that kind of singing shed. Later, when the conditions in the village were better, a shed was built for the original stage. Well, you've seen the stage, and the floor height is very high, almost two floors. The exterior walls are somewhat similar in style to Western churches, with windows on them, and in the earliest days, people could climb up by ladders, which had a small corridor above. Now, it's all abandoned. ”

"I know what you said, although I grew up in the city, but who doesn't have a few relatives in the countryside, when I was young, I was taken by my parents to the countryside to visit relatives. At that time, the New Year in the countryside was much more lively than in the city, and the Spring Festival was an occasion, and the village would sing a big opera, at least for three days. Men, women, and children will carry stools in advance to occupy a seat. Parents watched the play, and the children watched the excitement. Mainly, there are many small vendors selling delicious food at the scene, which is particularly lively. ”

"Yes, that's it. But now, mobile phones, TVs, and computers are all convenient, and no one comes out to watch the play anymore. Even when we were filming, the extras we invited couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to glance at them when they cooperated with the acting. ”

"Then did you encounter any special situations when you were filming?" Ding Dang was afraid that the topic would be pulled away, so he hurriedly brought the topic back.

"It's all good until then, and we're still telling a story about what happened before this stage."

"What about Xu Miao? Did Xu Miao react? ”

"Nope." Qingqing shook her head: "Actually, I knew about her before I joined the group, but a lot of information about her is also from gossip." When I knew that I was going to play against her, I was worried that I wouldn't get along, or that there would be some friction. But no, she's nice and easy to get along with. ”

"Go ahead." Ding Dang asked Qingqing to continue.

"Because I had to shoot Yan Anling in a dream in the second half of the night, the lighting of the whole scene had to be adjusted, Xu Miao and I took this opportunity to correct the lines, and also exchanged the way of acting and how to move and so on. Later, Xu Miao said to go to the toilet, and I sat aside to rest. I don't know if you've ever seen it on that stage, but there are actually small rooms on both sides of the stage, and the small room directly behind it has a door, and it is locked on it, and it used to be used to hold things. There are no doors on both sides, and the masters who beat the gongs and drums are usually allowed to sit during singing. We vacated a small room in the middle of the room to serve as a half-time lounge. The toilet, next to the stage, is under the tree. Toilets in the village, in the open air. There is a small doorway on the other side of the stage, and you can go down two steps from there. ”

Qingqing's introduction was very detailed and very picturesque, Chang Tai stood at the door and glanced at it, and confirmed the authenticity of her statement.

"There are lights on the stage and in the small room, but they are wires that have been pulled by the crew when they come. I don't know if it's because of the relationship between the set and the adjustment of the camera, as soon as Xu Miao left, the power went out. It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers. At that time, all the crew members were under the stage, and I was the only one on the stage. I was so timid that I didn't dare to move while sitting in the lounge, but after about a minute, I heard a woman's scream, a particularly penetrating kind, followed by the director's voice. The director probably thought that Xu Miao and I had an accident on the stage, and asked the staff to take emergency lights while calling our names. I'll be the first to respond. ”

Qingqing took a breath and continued: "I said that the director is Qingqing, I am resting now, I am fine." The director asked me where Xu Miao was? I said that Xu Miao went to the toilet, and then I heard the director looking for the female staff on the scene. With the voice, I became emboldened, and I asked the director why the power went out. The director said that it could be a problem with the electrical circuits in the village. There are new and old lines in the village, and there are frequent power outages due to voltage problems. As for the duration of the power outage, there are long and short. In the middle, I also heard the assistant director calling the village director to confirm the time of the power outage. ”

"And then?"

"Later, for some reason, I felt like I had a person standing behind me. At first, I didn't think much of it because I told the director that I was in the lounge. I thought it was the director looking for a staff member to make sure I was safe, but then I realized that something was wrong, because it was cold, and my whole back was cold. I cautiously turned my head and took a quick look behind me, only to notice a blurry shadow behind me. ”

"Even if the power goes out, there will be moonlight, and that could be your own shadow."

"No, it's not. It was a cloudy day that night, and there was not a single moon in the sky, not even a star. So when I was just describing the scene after the power outage, I used the word "five fingers". It was a really dark night. ”

"Did you call? Normal people scream when they see strange things, right? ”

"No, I didn't call. Before I encountered strange things, I also thought that people would scream out when they encountered terrible things like we filmed. But in reality, I didn't dare to scream at all, I was afraid that if I screamed, I would alarm the shadow standing behind me. Another is my own psychological reasons, I am worried that I am afraid that I will be dazzled because it is too dark at night, and if I call, if there is really a staff member to come, and there is nothing, I will not become a joke. ”

"Listening to you say that, it seems like your reaction is normal." Ding Dang pondered and asked again: "Next, did you go back and confirm?" ”
