Chapter 17: Ready
"What! Are you the director of the ghost show? That's a bit too much, isn't it? ”
When he heard that Xiao Mo was the director of this ghost show, Wang Yuli's mouth opened wide almost like a hippopotamus. Although Xiaoyu and the others were not as exaggerated as Wang Yuli, the expressions on their faces also showed the consternation in their hearts.
Bai Yimei may still not have come out of the previous state of heart death, so there is not much ripple on her face, and a little burnt haggard appears on her beautiful face.
Xiao Mo glanced at the time again, and at this moment, there were still five minutes left before the filming of the first act of the ghost show. In other words, there was no longer time for him to continue to explain to Wang Yuli and them.
"At first, I didn't have a few shots of you, but now go to the dressing room to put on makeup, and someone will call you when it's your turn."
Xiao Mo waved his hand at a few people, as if he had given an eviction order.
"That...... Excuse me...... Director, can we watch from the sidelines? Xiaoyu's attitude was very different from before, and at this time, Xiao Mo also added an honorific title.
"You need to be familiar with the script and you need makeup, so do you think you have time to stand here and watch?"
Xiao Mo's slightly impatient tone said Xiaoyu's face turned blue and white, and before she could continue to speak, Xiao Mo's voice sounded again:
"In the script, the plot of the character you are going to play is extremely important for the filming, so be sure to read it well and strive to memorize it word for word. Okay, you guys can go to the dressing room. ”
After Xiao Mo finished speaking, his face sank, and Xiaoyu and several people had to walk to the dressing room with unhappiness when they saw this.
The ghost show is divided into three acts, upper, middle and lower, and the filming cycle is 12 days. There is little difference in the length of the three acts, which shows that the filming period of each scene is four days.
At first glance, four days seems to be enough time to shoot a scene, but in fact, it is full of many accidents, such as the killing of a victim during the filming.
If the victims in charge of filming are all dead, then the whole scene will naturally not be filmed, that is, the victims will not be completely destroyed. If there is only one or two people missing, because the characters in the play disappear, then the plot will not be able to unfold, and it will still be impossible to complete the shooting.
So, the four-day shooting deadline is not lenient at all, unless the victims are replaced by experienced escapees like him.
Dianliu No. 56 is actually a triple courtyard, and the area of each room in it is very large, about 200 square meters. You can't see it visually, but you will notice it when you walk in. There were more than a dozen rooms next to each other.
Each room is decorated with a wooden sign with numbers written on it, and it is arranged in order of numbers, room 1, room 2, room 3......
The higher the room number at the front, the sooner the victim will appear when they are resting and waiting.
After entering the lounge, Xiao Mo pushed open the wooden door of Room 1, and there were three men and two women inside.
Except for one of the men, who was older in his thirties. The other four were all in their twenties, and judging by their behavior, they were all school students.
The five of them had already painted their costumes in the dressing room, and since they didn't need to play ghosts, everyone simply painted Zeng light makeup. It looked a little pale.
Seeing Xiao Mo pushing the door in, several people who had been waiting impatiently asked in unison:
"Director Xiao, how long are we going to wait here?"
Xiao Mo glanced at a few people, and then replied lightly:
"It's time to start filming now, about all the roles you've played. And the plot you are going to go through, have you remembered? ”
"I must have remembered it, there are only a few sentences in total, and the plot is even more simple and messy. If you can't remember it, you can die. ”
A boy with a sharp beak said.
After listening, Xiao Mo nodded symbolically, and then solemnly said the rules:
"During the filming, you must not terminate without my permission, let alone say things like "I'm going to give up" or "I don't want to act". Anyway, once the filming of the ghost show begins, you have to let it go ahead.
Do you remember? ”
"Remember, we will definitely cooperate with the performance, please rest assured by the director, as long as we don't subtract our roles in the post-production."
This time it was another boy with glasses who spoke.
Because Xiao Mo had no way to explain the truth to them, he could only use his own director to suppress people, otherwise if they gave up after learning the truth about the ghost show, they would immediately be doomed and would be dead.
Although Xiao Mo didn't know how long this truth could be hidden.
Hearing the promises of several people, Xiao Mo stopped talking nonsense, and said to them at this time:
"Okay, come out with me now, and then start shooting."
The filming location of the first act is in the courtyard of No. 56 Dianliu, and the approximate plot is that five netizens who meet for an adventure get lost and strayed into an extremely dilapidated village. Due to a series of factors such as the lack of mobile phone signal and the failure of the compass, they had to search around after entering the village, so that they could find their current location and find a way back to their original path.
However, they searched almost the entire village, but they did not find a single family, not a single person, until they found this 56 Dianliu with a white lantern in the middle of the gloomy.
The general plot is like this, and the focus is on the character plot that they need to play. In this part of the shooting, there is a clear requirement in the script given by the event, that is, the character's lines can be said to be inconsistent with the script, but the character's actions must be consistent with the script.
It's like the script requires a character to look behind the door after coming in at Dianliu 56, and if the character doesn't look at it after coming in, then he needs to stop and shoot again.
However, the script does not indicate the consequences of reshooting, of course, even the sheer consumption of time is deadly enough.
Xiao Mo as the director of the ghost show, as well as the five victims who filmed as actors, as well as a cameraman and a prop master are all ready.
The cameraman and prop master were not chosen by Xiao Mo himself, but by the events for him. The cameraman was about 40 years old, and he stammered a little, saying that he was assigned by a film and television company to assist in the shooting. As for the prop master and makeup artist, the same is true, although the three of them belong to the same company, they don't know each other because they have been working with the group outside for a long time.
