182 The Right Way to Shoot a Horror Movie-2
The lengthened Rolls-Royce Phantom drove smoothly through the downtown area of Los Angeles to North Hollywood, which is recognized as a poor security area, and after a while, it finally stopped slowly in front of a "warehouse" in the suburbs.
"We're here." With a flattering smile on his badly burned face, Freddy opened the car door and made a "please" gesture to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo got out of the car and moved his muscles for a while, and then frowned slightly because of the scene in front of him:
"Are you sure this is where your company is located? This place is worse than our sewage treatment plant. β
What catches your eye is a two-storey abandoned "warehouse", whether it is the wall or the glass ceiling, it is all dusty, the courtyard wall is already low, half of it has fallen down, through the rusted iron fence gate, you can see the concrete floor of the courtyard inside, and even there are traces of cracks.
Zhang Luo is not exaggerating at all, this place is indeed not as good as the sewage treatment plant above the portal of the research society's base. After all, the sewage treatment plant, which had been abandoned for many years, was only a little old, and it was not broken to the extent that it would suddenly collapse.
"Well, our company's funds are indeed a bit short right now......" Freddy awkwardly touched the unmatched red top hat on his head, then turned back and said a few words, and the three cars that had sent them here immediately turned around and left.
"The rest of the money is not going to find a way to repair the house, and there is still a spare car rental to put on a show?" Zhang Luo had a helpless expression of hatred that iron could not become steel.
"Isn't it you...... Oh no, in order to welcome you, it is also necessary to break the bank. Freddy smiled hypocritically.
"I haven't decided yet. Need to see what's going on inside. Zhang Luo walked to the half-open iron fence gate in front of him.
On the concrete wall next to the door, he saw what looked like a name painted with lipstick: "Freddy Pictures."
"Do you dare to break a little more?" Zhang Luo sighed.
"It's still okay inside. You can visit it first. Seeing that he didn't seem happy, Freddy hurriedly said, "Please come in." β
Strode into the cracked courtyard. It wasn't until he entered the large warehouse that was more suitable for a broken warehouse than a studio, that Zhang Luo finally realized that the murderer next to him was not lying.
The layout inside is indeed stronger than the outside, and it looks quite decent, at least it can be seen that it is a "studio".
The ceiling is mounted with a complex steel bridge with several spotlights hanging above it, as well as rails that allow the camera to move. A pure white curtain is placed against the wall. Even the floor is equipped with a wooden floor to facilitate shooting. As for the enclosed room next to it, it should be an internal recording studio.
"It's okay." Zhang Luo said as he walked to the wall on his right.
Unlike a normal studio, on one side of the studio, there are several sturdy silver metal cages on one wall, which contain some monsters infected by the virus from the "New Ambrera Company".
Several male zombies in white coats, who were locked in separate cages, looked very hungry, kept shaking the cage fence vigorously, and drooled from their crooked mouths. Even the face began to rot.
There were also a few lickers in the cage next to it, and these monsters, who had no skin to show their brains, were also a little restless, sticking their tongues out of the cage and moving in a serpentine shape. At the same time hissing sound, not knowing what to do.
"Where did you get that?" Zhang Luo asked curiously, after all, the new Ambrera Company joined the Conqueror camp. It is a hostile relationship with the Strange Tales Workshop.
"This is the 'extra' I found last time from the Sahara Desert, while you were fighting." Freddy's scarred face. Smile cheekily.
"Your opportunistic skills are good, but you can't rely on this ...... to make movies," Zhang Luo observed with interest the poor "group performance" that was forcibly requisitioned in front of him.
ββJudging by the parasol logo on the clothing. These infected guys should be researchers at the new Ambrera company, that is to say, that unlucky company, I am afraid that the tragedy of virus leakage has happened again.
In this way, Ambrera, which leaks viruses almost every New Year's Day, is simply a shame and an unreliable model for the industry. However, this is not what Zhang Luo cares about now......
"These zombies are left here unattended, what if someone finds them? After all, even the door of this hellish place is broken, and it can't compare to the toilet. Zhang Luo sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep female voice came from behind him:
"Who says no one cares?"
ββ¦β¦β
Realizing that his "ghost premonition" had failed to notice that someone was approaching behind him, Zhang Luo turned his head sharply, and together with Freddy, he cast his eyes in the direction where the sound came from, and then saw an unexpected guy standing at the door of the studio and looking at him.
It was a young woman in a tattered brown robe and equally torn jeans, fair-skinned and tall, and the seemingly tattered clothes were worn on her, but they revealed an inexplicable chic taste.
She had long, dark red hair and wore a yellowed hockey mask crooked on her forehead, and underneath that mask was a delicate face that could almost be described as "perfect" except for the scars on her cheeks.
At this time, the woman's blue eyes that were staring at Zhang Luo narrowed, with a hint of questioning in her eyes:
"You're the 'man' Freddy was talking about?" She asked.
"Did he say I was a big money-giver?" Zhang Luo smiled, and his gaze stayed on the other party's black leather gloves and the brown leather scabbard hanging from his waist.
Although Freddy next to him glanced at him several times, the red-haired woman smiled as if she hadn't seen it, and said, "That's right, he also said that you are 'stupid people and money come quickly'." β
"I'll kill this bastard when I get back." Zhang Luo said and stretched out his right hand to the woman very politely, and introduced himself by the way:
"My name is Zhang Luo, what is your name?"
was asking a question, but Zhang Luo already roughly knew who this thing was at this time. As expected, while shaking hands with him, the woman reported a name as famous as Freddy in the European and American horror film industry:
"I'm Jason. Wochs. β
ββAs a classic American horror film on the same level as "Ghost Street", the protagonist of "Friday the 13th" is Jason, a murderer wearing a hockey mask. The scene of this cargo holding a machete near Crystal Lake left a deep impression on many teenagers and girls back then.
According to the movie, Jason is a near-immortal being who has killed nearly 200 people near Crystal Lake. However, the woman in front of her is obviously very different from the savage murderer in the movie......
"Isn't Jason a man? How did you become a beauty? Zhang Luo smiled.
Hearing his words, the red-haired woman with a man's name sighed: "The prototype of that series of movies is indeed me, and the film company also wanted me to star in person, just like Freddy." But I happened to be busy. I didn't have time to participate in their shooting, so those guys hired actors to play me and finished the film, and they made me look like a rotten ghost......"
Speaking of this, Jason's blue eyes seemed to burn with hatred: "If it weren't for the bastards of the Monster Management Bureau protecting them, I would have dismembered the film crew a long time ago, those guys are really ......"
"Ha, if you really starred in that movie, the box office might double." Zhang Luo looked at the "beautiful murderer" in front of him.
"Let's get straight to the point." Jason obviously didn't want to continue to discuss the issue of being changed to "pure masters" in the movie, and went straight to the point: "How much do you come out?" β
"I'm going to buy your company, after all, the original boss is too unreliable." Zhang Luo said and cast a meaningful gaze on Freddy beside him, and said with a smile: "I'm right, right?" β
"I agree." Jason nodded without hesitation: "I'm really fed up with this second thing who all day, you seem to be much more reliable than him." β
"Wait a minute, I haven't said yes yet...... Freddy weakly tried to resist, but closed his mouth in a sneering voice.
"Well, then that's the matter settled, let's get down to business first, shall we?"
While Zhang Luo was talking, he looked at the studio where he was: "How many staff members do you currently have?" How is the equipment working? Maybe we can try to make a short film or something before we get started......" (To be continued. )
