The story is such a story, it's not too good, but it's not too bad, compared to domestic horror films that pretend to be ghosts, the movie admits the existence of ghosts, and it also talks about the causal cycle, but there are many places that need to be improved, such as the thriller Cheng dù is not enough, in the one-and-a-half-hour movie, it can completely increase the suspense, for example, the day I met Wang Dan was Halloween July 14, and Wang Dan always appeared at night, and disappeared as soon as it dawned during the day, but the actor was getting weaker and weaker,......

I have a lot of good ideas I want to talk to Zhang Zhixin, I can improve the script and make a good film, I read a script over and over again for an afternoon, and I am still thinking about it when I go to bed at night, so that my buddy dreams of a bang outside the door...... The sound of footsteps in high heels. When I got out of bed and opened the door, there was a pink skeleton dressed in red and carrying a peony lantern standing outside the door.

The skeleton smiled at me, I woke up, sat up and lit a cigarette for a while, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, how long has it been since I had such a dream, it seems that I really put my heart too hard, but if you put this dream in the film, the actor often has such a dream after winning the lawsuit, isn't it interesting?

I can't sleep when I think about it, my mind is full of scripts, it's all the integrity of the story, and then I think crankily, if the film is a big hit...... In short, my brain was messed up and I couldn't sleep, so I tossed until dawn, and simply got up and went out for a walk, but I still thought about this movie.

I can't sleep well, my brain is a little drowsy, I know I can't go on like this, it's too tormenting, if I'm so uncertain, I don't wait for a movie, my buddy has to be languishing like the actor Xu Ming. I just went home and recited the meditation mantra, and finally my mood calmed down. I was about to make up for it, and Zhang Zhixin called me. Let me go to him in the afternoon, and we will see below, and then discuss the script.

So my buddy couldn't sleep again, so he hurriedly called Li Yiling and asked him to come to me, and then he went around the house, and his mind began to think crankily again, and at noon, Li Yiling knocked on the door, and I opened the door. When he saw me, he paused and asked, "Mr. Lang, didn't you say you wanted to make a movie?" Why are the eye sockets still bruised? ”

I didn't sleep well all night, of course my eyes were blue, I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, it was really like a punch, I hurriedly washed my face, rubbed my eyes, told Li Yiling to meet Zhang Zhixin, and then threw the script to Li Yiling. The girl picked it up and looked at it, threw it aside, and said, "If you are bored, even if there is cause and effect." It can't be so fast, it will be effective in a few days? Wang Dan was tired to death, not because he was wronged. The image after death can't be so miserable, why is it a pink skeleton? can also turn the clouds and rain with the male protagonist. Isn't that? Mr. Lang, you've seen a lot of ghosts. Have you ever seen a person who can turn the clouds and rain with a living person? ”

"And Wang Dan hates Xu Ming so much, just chase the soul and ask for his life, he has to change into a beauty, carry a lantern, and turn the clouds and rain with the hero, is it logical? And I don't see any use for that lantern......"

To be honest, in the eyes of people like me and Li Yiling, the script is basically full of loopholes, but it is not really catching ghosts and exorcisms, artistic creation, you don't have to be so serious, I said to Li Yiling: "Our opinions should be mentioned, it is best to adopt them, and it is normal not to adopt them, after all, it is a movie, not a documentary." ”

Li Yiling looked me up and down and said, "Mr. Lang, I can see it, if you don't make this movie, you will be a little blind!" ”

Although Li Yiling has a bad mouth, but I want to do one thing, even if I am impatient, I will accompany me, at noon, we ate casually, drove the location car directly to Zhang Zhixin's studio, Zhang Zhixin is a big director has his own studio, in a high-end office building in the city center, find Zhang Zhixin's studio, go in and take a look, the whole thing is quite like that, the walls of the corridor are covered with posters of Zhang Zhixin's films.

The buddy suddenly felt a wave of artistic breath coming to his face, remembered to be the leading actor, and began to think crankily, a lawsuit and the little girl in charge of the reception came to a conference room, went in to see, there were really a lot of people, Zhang Zhixin smoked, studied the script with a few people, saw me coming, stood up, walked over to me and said: "Mr. Lang, you are here, welcome!" ”

When he came up, he shook hands with me, and I hurriedly walked two steps: "Hello Director Zhang, meet again......"

After a few words of greeting, Zhang Zhixin introduced me to the people present, what kind of director of photography, lighting director, sound engineer, screenwriter, producer, actor...... Buddies went up and shook hands one by one, with the same panic as primary school students, others saw me like this, and they all smiled and encouraged, and when it came to the heroine, Zhang Zhixin introduced the heroine as Wang Yun.

Zhang Zhixin said with a smile: "In this movie, I use all newcomers, you have a good exchange, Mr. Lang, although Wang Yun is a newcomer, she graduated from the film academy, she was born in a professional class, if there is anything she doesn't understand in acting, you can ask her." ”

I hurriedly shook hands with Wang Yun, and Wang Yun said to me with a smile: "Mr. Lang, I am your fan, I often watch ghosts on Fridays, you have to take care of me more." ”

Wang Yun is also twenty-two or three years old this year, about the same as me, the one who looks like a beautiful one, with long hair fluttering, so classical and beautiful, and the person is also polite and generous, and there is no domineering, which makes my nervous heart relax, and hurriedly said: "Variety shows and movies are not the same concept, I am a newcomer in performance, you have to guide me more." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Wang Yun shook hands with me, the buddy held Wang Yun's hand for a long time because of nervousness, Wang Yun's face turned red, and then saw Li Yiling, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "The mysterious little brother is also here, I want to take a photo with you......" Let go of me and go to Li Yiling, I was stunned, buddy is the family member who has a ghost on Friday, why don't you take a photo with me?

Without further ado, the politeness was over, Li Yiling and I sat on the chairs next to the big table and started the meeting, Zhang Zhixin said that the total investment of the film is 20 million, which is not a big production, and the money is enough, and I look forward to the box office results of more than 50 million, and then analyzed the routines of domestic horror films in recent years, followed by the use of props and costumes......

I didn't seem to understand it, I wrote it down in the small book I brought with me, discussed the basics, and then began to discuss the scene layout, but it didn't take much effort, after all, it was a modern horror movie, just shoot in the city, a few main scenes, one is the factory when Wang Dan died, one is a temple, one is a hotel, and the last barren and gloomy building.

The first three are easy to find, and it is not easy to find an abandoned building in the end, Zhang Zhixin asked for my opinion in this regard, after all, Li Yiling and I have been to more places, my first thought is the Xue family's mansion, although the matter of the Xue family's mansion has been solved, but it is still not demolished, that place is still ghostly, and there are few people who go.

I said my thoughts, but Zhang Zhixin shook his head, saying that the architectural style of the Xue family's mansion is too old, and it doesn't quite match the style of the film.

The times are developing too fast, and real estate has been a big hit in recent years, basically those old buildings have been demolished, and those who have not been demolished are also inhabited, mostly dormitory buildings of some old units, if you want to requisition such a building, you must invite all the residents in the building out, the cost is too great, and the lights around are brilliant, which does not conform to the tense atmosphere of the film.

Zhang Zhixin saw that I didn't have a very suitable place, so I asked everyone to think about it, is there an old building that is more in line with the plot, the drama and filming have said a few places, and there is still a gap with Zhang Zhixin's requirements, if you want me to say it's almost enough, that's so suitable, but Zhang Zhixin is obviously serious, constantly overturning one construction after another.

I suddenly found that Zhang Zhixin can become a famous director There is still a certain reason, his requirements for the film are really excellence, and those who do not meet his requirements will never make do, this buddy is not comparable, there are ghosts on Friday for filming, many times, buddies can make do with it.

It seems that if a person wants to achieve something, every detail must be pondered and pondered until it is done to the extreme, but the house is not so easy to find, just such a small problem was studied for more than an hour, and the producer seemed a little impatient, and said to Zhang Zhixin: "Lao Zhang, you are famous for being serious, but our news has been released, and it is not a matter of such consumption, do you see if you can look for the scene you want while shooting?" ”

Zhang Zhixin did not compromise, smoking a cigarette and said: "If there is still no suitable place for the film in the later stage, will it be okay?" What is the result of improvisation? Maybe our efforts have become nondescript, not to mention that it is the final scene, and it is also the most critical, without that terrifying atmosphere, are we making a comedy? ”

Zhang Zhixin is a little faceless, but what he said makes sense, after all, 20 million is spent, and he must be responsible for investors and himself, and it is impossible to smash his own signboard because of a small-budget movie, it is better not to shoot, Zhang Zhixin finished speaking, and the producer was silent.

In the silence, a photographer suddenly said: "Director Zhang, I know that there is a place that is more in line with the filming of the film, but it used to be a mental hospital." ”

Zhang Zhixin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly." ”

"When I was in high school, a classmate was in the suburban mountains, and when I went to his house to play, I passed by a deserted four-story building with walls and rusty iron gates, and I heard him say that it used to be a mental hospital, but then it suffered a fire, which burned some people to death, and the rest were placed in a mental hospital in a nearby city, where it was abandoned."
