"Tonight seems to be fine, am I really wrong?"

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, I went around the crew's campsite again, and Charlotte sat on a small hill nearby, nibbling on beef jerky as hard as a stone in her mouth, but her mind was still pondering-

From the first time she was on the set, Charlotte knew that the location they had chosen was a bit ghostly. And when the former director Alan Mike Arrowy and the heroine Eliza Kunis disappeared here, and the local police station reported that many people had disappeared in the vicinity two years ago, he became more aware of one thing-

"There are really ghosts in this ghost place!"

This is not only a logical inference, but also, to a certain extent, it is also the joy of a person who has studied spells for a long time, but rarely has the opportunity to practice them. In fact, if a ghost is found here, Charlotte is ready to catch it and make a movie for the crew - after all, what could be more convenient than having a real ghost in her hand when making a horror movie or a ghost movie? Not to mention the cost of special effects, the role that real ghosts can play in creating a terrifying atmosphere is far from being comparable to that of a simple art set.

In fact, during the filming of movies in the past few days, Charlotte did secretly use a lot of spells. deliberately used spells to increase the horror of the cannibal house, and used it to scare the two supporting actresses who caused trouble for him, not to mention, in terms of simple scene layout, spells also helped him a lot-

Not to mention anything else, just the first paragraph, a man and a woman are killed by ogres on the edge of a cliff, in the original version of "Fatal Bend", this is just an introduction to the background of the film's horror film, so as not to make the audience drowsy and lose their curiosity by the long and bland foreshadowing shots in the back.

To tell the truth, this beginning is not terrifying, at least in the eyes of Charlotte, who has watched a lot of horror movies and is used to seeing American hunting and blood, it is really a bit out of the stage - after all, the death of the male rock climber has no camera performance at all, and only gives the audience the result of a corpse thrown off the cliff;

And when it came to Charlotte's own filming at the beginning, he buried a dead rooster under the cliff of rock climbing in advance, so as to cast a spell to gather the faint ghost aura in the nearby forest, and when filming, just the fog on the edge of the cliff and the intermittent weird insect chirping in the mountains made the cold hairs on the backs of the crew members participating in the filming stood on end.

The images are also very good, the faint fog is quite a bit of "Silent Hill" feeling, and Charlotte and photographer Addison designed several shots relative to the camera movement - although the 3D era has not yet arrived, this kind of lens that is more suitable for highlighting the three-dimensional sense and rushing straight into front of the audience like a rocket does not have the realism that people can't help but want to avoid in later generations, but if the shooting is good, it is still full of impact.

In fact, when photographer Addison himself looked at the images he took, he was surprised by the effect of these lenses - At the beginning, the danger of the cliff is expressed from the perspective of the female dragon suit who is climbing, and the effect of rendering the atmosphere is far better than the general vista, and the male dragon suit who climbed to the top of the cliff first in the back, after being caught and killed by the mutant ogre, the corpse is thrown directly from the top.

In order to shoot this shot, the hapless male dragon suit was pulled up and down from a high place by a group of people from the prop team with a steel wire waia - this is to shoot the male dragon suit falling corpse and the female dragon suit hanging on the cliff staggered past. In the long shot, it's okay to use a dummy stand-in, but in the close-up part, Charlotte hopes to give a close-up of the face of the male dragon who still has a frightened expression after death, which has to let the actor himself go into battle.

"Well done, Brandon! Keep up, you'll have a future!"

After the filming, Charlotte specially encouraged Mr. Longtao, who was hung by Weiya, whose waist was almost straight. When she first saw his name, Charlotte was a little surprised - Brandon Fisher, this is the second Hollywood movie star Charlotte has known since Charlize and has a surname, but is unknown at this time. The "Mummy" series starring this gentleman later can be regarded as famous among thrilling horror movies. Of course, at this time, he is still a hard worker, even a rookie director like Charlotte can shout at him.

"Thank you!"

Fisher smiled heartily, but then his waist, which still couldn't stand upright, made his smile change.

"But I think that after this time, I will still use a gun to make action movies in the future!

"It's a good day!"

Charlotte had no sympathy for the future mummy hunter,

"We shoot the shot of you falling off the cliff, the actual shooting process is very slow, it is the props team who use WIA to put you down to the camera little by little, to really achieve the effect of impactful drop on the lens, you have to edit and speed up the playback in the later stage. If you use WIA like Hong Kong people make martial arts movies, you will really be thrown out all at once. ”

"Fortunately, we are not making a martial arts film. ”

Thinking of the feeling of falling if he was really thrown off the cliff all at once, Fisher couldn't help but blush,

"But I always feel that Chinese martial arts films are very unreal, and there is a feeling of watching science fiction films. ”

"It's not real!"

Charlotte is also speechless for these guys in Europe and the United States who always like to watch martial arts as science fiction.

"Do you think that all Chinese are Bruce Lee and can do kung fu?"

"Isn't it?"

“......”

- It seems that it is quite normal for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win the best at the Saturn Awards, which like sci-fi horror movies.

Thinking of that conversation, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, he himself doesn't have much feeling about martial arts movies, although he can still watch them, but he is not very enthusiastic. Especially after he learned spells from the old ghost and learned some of the history hidden behind the history-

"Do you think that after learning the spell, you will be able to ride a thousand and break a boulder in your chest? Remember the spell I taught you? It mainly depends on deception and lure, and there are not many opportunities to really do it. Even if you cultivate to a certain level, you do have a lot of power, and it is not the same thing as the martial arts that you imagine to jump several floors high and reach out and knock down a large area!! Spells need to use your brain, if you really practice like that, what is the difference between it and selling strong pills on the street!?"

- The old ghost has a deep contempt for the idea of using spells purely as force. After a few years of teaching, Charlotte was brought to a similar point.

"However, even if I want to use it as force, there is no way!"

Not to mention that it is impossible to invoke spiritual power to cultivate in the era of the end of the law before, even if it is now in the nineties of the twentieth century when it can be cultivated, according to the current speed of progress, it is not easy to cultivate spells to the extent that they are better than conventional force-after all, no matter how high the martial arts are, they are also afraid of kitchen knives, not to mention that the land of America is still a fertile land where you can hold guns at will - of course, if you really want to catch ghosts and subdue demons like Charlize did before, spells are indeed the best choice, but there must be ghosts to catch!

Charlotte has been patrolling the camp every night for the last few days, ostensibly to avoid accidents, which makes the crew admire the director's carefulness. But what about the real purpose of catching ghosts and subduing demons? But I haven't even seen a single ghost hair!

"Heroes are useless!"

Charlotte sighed secretly, and wondered if her previous judgment had been wrong.

"Supposedly not! The concentration of ghost qi in this vicinity obviously exceeds the standard of normal primeval forests, and is even higher than many of the ancient battlefield ruins I have visited before, and the high and abnormal number of missing people in the vicinity also means that there must be a problem here! Speaking of which, this feeling is a bit like the scene in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest described by the old ghost, isn't it ......?"

Charlotte was pondering when she suddenly heard a "click". The sound was soft, but it wasn't hard to hear in the silence of the night.

"It seems to be the sound of a tree branch being broken or stepped on. ”

Although she immediately turned her head in the direction from which the voice came, Charlotte didn't pay much attention to it. This kind of thing also happened from time to time in the first few nights - people have three urgencies, camping in this kind of mountain forest, if you want to be convenient at night, you can only go out and walk farther, and it is normal to step on broken branches and broken trees. In fact, if he meets a woman, he has to quickly stay away, lest the other party think that he has some bad intentions.

"Sure enough......"

Charlotte's eyes are not bad, although it is difficult to see clearly in the middle of the night, but you can still see the two figures in the distance, obviously with a sense of female curves. He was about to stay away, but suddenly realized—

"Isn't the direction they're coming from, cannibal houses?"

As the only fixed house in the vicinity, the cannibal house is very poorly decorated, but there are still toilets. Although the crew arranged it dirty and with a sense of horror in order to facilitate filming, it was more convenient to run out in the middle of the night than in the middle of the night, and Charlotte felt that Charlize, who now lives in it, may be more willing to endure the horror brought by that prop.

- After all, if it weren't for the movie, many of the props of a horror movie wouldn't be that scary.

"Is it ......?"

Charlotte subconsciously opened the yin and yang eyes that had just been cultivated recently, but found that near those two figures, there were two other ghosts that looked extremely white in the night.
