Chapter 59: The Role of the Director

During the filming of the two ghost scenes in the first act, Xiao Mo discovered a key problem, that is, if you want to complete the filming smoothly, you must find the right shooting method.

Take the first scene of the first act and the first ghost scene as an example, although Xiao Mo failed to find the right way to shoot, it is nothing more than a few possibilities. refusing to allow a makeup artist to apply makeup before the shoot; Do not have any intersection with the sudden appearance of ghosts; No more lingering too much when completing script requirements.

I think that as long as these three points could have been avoided during the filming at that time, the five victims who participated in the filming of the first scene would not have died.

In the filming of the second scene, this point is even more prominent, as long as you find the prop master in charge of setting up the scene, and ask the specific location of the "object" and "location" that the script requires the victims to find, then no one will be killed.

It can be seen that in the filming of ghost scenes, it is a correct way to avoid the victims involved in the filming from being killed. And this is more in line with the rules of the event, and will not let the escapee or the victim fall into a situation of absolute death.

The feeling of incomprehension is actually just that the right solution has not been found, and it is not that the event deliberately wants someone to die.

There is another point that Xiao Mo cares about, and that is the number of victims in this incident.

Xiao Mo felt that the number of victims involved in the filming should be limited, and the so-called "limited" means that the number of victims is certain. For example, the rule of event hiding is that whether the victims are directly involved in the filming or those who are forced to participate, their number has a fixed value, that is, the total number of people.

For example, if the total number of victims is ten, but six have already been killed by the time the first act of the ghost show is filmed, then the second group of victims as an alternative can only be added at most four people by the time the second act is filmed.

If you fill in the four people, add the remaining people from before. If the number of people cannot meet the requirements of the next ghost scene shooting, then it is equivalent to not being able to complete the shooting of the ghost scene, and the result is that the incident cannot be solved.

Otherwise, if the number of victims is unlimited, then just keep shooting, after all, as a director, he doesn't seem to have any threat in the shooting, as long as he thinks comprehensively enough and lets the victim act as a guinea pig for more experiments, then even if a blind cat touches a dead mouse, he can find the right way to shoot. Thus completing the filming of the ghost scene in three acts.

But if you add the condition that "the number of victims is fixed", then the pressure of being a director and the difficulty of the incident will immediately rise to a higher level.

Because this indicates that he must focus on treating each victim, and must have the principle of saving if he can, and try to ensure that every victim participating in the show can survive the shooting, so as not to be unable to complete the next shooting due to the number of people.

And this is tantamount to throwing a huge problem to the director, and the director's important role in this incident can also be reflected.

Because the director needs to control the whole scene, he needs to find the right way to shoot from the images taken by the victims, so as to achieve the least cost of casualties. It is used to shoot at the end of the lĂŹ.

Except for the first act of ghost play, which is filmed in one or two scenes, whether it is the second act or the third act shooting. There is only one shot available. And the number of people is also about the same, unlike when filming the first act, there are many fewer people participating in the first scene than in the second scene.

Xiao Mo feels that his director, is more like an analysis of video recording. Find out the murderer and the police who solved the case. If he can't find the killer in a short period of time, the killer will continue to kill until he kills everyone. When the time comes, he, a little policeman, will not only lose his job, but will also be severely "punished" by "above".

Neither the incident reminder nor the leaflet recruiting actors for the ghost show clearly stated that the victim needed to shoot a few ghost scenes to complete the mission.

However, there is such a sentence from the leaflet, which indirectly illustrates this point:

"When the gong sounds, it represents the beginning of the ghost show, and until the gong sounds again, it is not over."

It is not difficult to see one meaning from this sentence, that is, once the victim participates in the filming, he must continue filming until the filming is actually over.

Therefore, unlike the treatment of escapees, the victims did not survive the incident until the actual filming of the ghost show was over, otherwise it was considered a failure.

And this point once again made Xiao Mo sure that the number of victims must be limited. There have been similar incidents before, and although there is no mention of the time limit for resolving the incident, it is true in the unspoken rules.

Xiao Mo put the script back in the storage bag, and then he glanced at the time on his watch through the moonlight above, at this time, the time had come to midnight, and it would be the next day in less than ten minutes.

Today's filming has come to an end for now, and it took only one day to complete a third of the ghost show, albeit at the cost of the deaths of more than a dozen victims.

Because he still has a lot of time, and he didn't study the script of the second act carefully, so in Xiao Mo's plan, he will take a day off tomorrow to give himself some time to study the script, and also give those victims some time to memorize their lines.

After all, the requirements of each script are different, and who knows what kind of traps will await them.

Turning on the megaphone, Xiao Mo summoned a group of victims in the courtyard. From the expressions on the faces of the victims, as well as their whispering or undisguised shouting, Xiao Mo felt that these victims didn't believe him very much.

And the reason for this distrust is that in Xiao Mo's mind, there is not only the simple existence of not accepting supernatural events, but also the fact that he was too calm in the filming just now, so that it is far from what he said before the start of filming.

Of course, these thoughts are only said to the second group of victims who joined in, as for Bai Yimei, Wang Yuli and the four of them, they don't have much feeling about it, after all, they took the initiative to participate in the filming, and they don't need to explain the truth to them.

However, not knowing the truth does not mean that there is no pressure, because Wang Yuli and they have already discovered at this time, and the faces around them have become very unfamiliar, and as for the people who participated in the filming with them at the beginning, they don't know where to go.

There was a commotion in the courtyard, and the victims kept talking to each other, just when Xiao Mo wanted to open his mouth to stop it, he heard Wang ask in a loud voice:

"Director Xiao, do you know where my two friends have gone? Why haven't I seen them since I finished filming? (To be continued......)
