There are many problems in film shooting, and there is a lot of fun in film shooting, and there is a wonderful feeling, as if the whole world has a sense of film, from the silent film era, the golden age, the new Hollywood, the eve of the digital revolution, to have it when it has not passed away, Ye Wei likes this feeling.

The technical problems are solved by the team, and the performance problems depend on the director and the actors, and he is pleased that the actors' performances are very good.

Ryan DeSantis as Cotton, Mark Carlton as Swaitzer, Marla Barry as Mara, and Damian Rush as Ramon...... and other actors, all of them are amateur actors who have never performed in film and television, do not have an IMDB personal page, do not belong to any union, have little experience in stage plays, and most of them do improvisations in some entertainment venues.

The ability to improvise is the most important aspect of Ye Wei's casting this time, because there is no rehearsal and there is no preparation for nanny-like directing, the actor's improvisation is very important.

These actors are really cheap and easy to use, absolutely pseudo-documentary, and are willing to work at full speed without rest for 8 days in a row.

At the beginning, "Cotton" they were very jerky in front of the camera, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet, he had to direct a lot, not to tell the play, but to adjust their psychological state, just follow their usual performance style, the difference is to say the lines, to complete the required movement and action, but don't think about acting in a movie, just play naturally.

It didn't take them a morning to get into the state, and because it was a pseudo-documentary, compared to the precise movement of the actors, the photographer's handheld capture was more important, and the steady lens was better performed, so there was no big problem after they played out.

And Nina, who joined the crew today, really wants to praise her acting talent, maybe not as good as Natalie Portman, Keisha Custer Hewes, Abigill Bryslin and other geniuses, and maybe not as realistic as Emma and Anna Sophia, but Nina is talented.

Don't look at her usually like a stupid girl, she has her own set of understanding and shaping of what she wants to feel about the scene and the character's thoughts on the set, because of the great flexibility of "Maggie", she made Maggie herself, and also made herself Maggie, which made her true performance convincing.

also has a strong sense of performance rhythm, great enthusiasm and hard work, and it is not surprising that she has a good watch after changing three sets in one day.

Of course, Nina ng, sometimes because it is excessive, sometimes because the details of the performance are not precise enough, and it is easy to understand "performance Cheng dù more points" as pulling her face...... These youths are normal, not necessarily those geniuses are not.

Ye Wei was happy and proud of her, he knew that the first reaction of everyone when they heard that Nina was his girlfriend was: "Won't it?

Now they all see that no one is messing around, Nina is not a doll, not a fool, not a genius, but a good girl.

......

The night shrouded Toronto, the cold wind blew the snow on the ground and trees, and it was dark and white.

From early morning to now at more than seven o'clock, one clock rested for half an hour at lunchtime, half an hour for dinner at 6 p.m., and then all worked overtime until 8 o'clock to shoot one of today's highlights, Cotton gave Maggie the first exorcism.

The set, which was an ordinary guest room in the old house of the farm, has now been set by Julie Berghoff's art department and has become a simple and intimate girl's room, and Nina has brought some small objects from her own room to the set, objects that match the atmosphere of the 90s.

At this time, everyone was preparing for the start of filming, Grady and Mara were checking the camera equipment, Berghoff was doing the final set with the artists next to the wooden bed, and in the hallway at the door, Grande and Potkoe were holding the script and whispering to discuss whether they could change which line could be changed better......

After a long day of busyness, everyone's face was flushed with exhaustion, but the fire in their hearts was never extinguished.

Cotton and the actors stood by the door, each with a script in their hands, and listened to Ye Wei simply say: "Cotton, you are acting, so that the audience can see that you are deceiving Switzer and them, pompous old liars." Switzer, you're nervous and uncomfortable as you normally react, hopeful for Cotton, heartbroken for Maggie. Ramon, because you know it's a trick, it's funny to watch, and it seems a little uneasy. ok？”

"Understood. "Okay. Everyone nodded, Ye Wei looked at Nina who was listening next to him, and said calmly: "Maggie, you were nervous at first, Cotton did not succeed in exorcism, but provoked the demon, it wants to make you taste a little bitter, but your pain is not extreme, moderate, fear is more than pain, helpless, looking forward to God's exorcist to save you." You know there's going to be an over-the-top show here, so give me a 70 percent breakout. ”

"Well, good. Nina nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Wei encouraged everyone: "This is a long scene, but you don't have to worry, I will divide it into many shots, and it's a big deal to work overtime for another hour." Everyone chuckled, he didn't say much, clapped his hands and walked to Grady's side, there was no assistant director, he could only shout by himself: "The whole world is ready, it's time to shoot!"

At the sound of an order, everyone took action and entered the shooting state.

Soon, with a click, the scene reporter Lauder played the board in front of the camera, and Ye Wei said: "fire." ”

......

"Okay, then let's get started, let's pray to God, please close your eyes. ”

With a Bible in one hand and a special cross in the other, Cotton looked at Maggie lying flat on the bed, and read impassionedly: "He brought me to the water's edge where I could rest, and he revived my soul." Lead me in the path of righteousness for my name's sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. for thou art with me, and thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Do you have the courage? Maggie!?"

"Yes, sir. Maggie nodded nervously, clasping her hands on her stomach in prayer.

"Do you believe it? Do you believe that Jesus can cast out the demons in you!?" Cotton said faster and louder.

A few paces away, Swiftzer frowned and took two steps. Ramon smiled, surprised.

"I believe, sir. Maggie nodded again, breathing heavier.

"Then let him take it away! Demon, in the name of God, go away. Fuck off, Devil, do you torture the sins of this innocent maiden, and think that God does not know? The light of God has come, and you leave this girl, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of Holy Blood, get out of here, Devil, I command you to get out!"

Just as Cotton shouted, Ye Wei, who was outside the performance area, approached the microphone and pressed the Walkman, and played the sound effect of the devil's cry, which was Cotton's trick in the script, and in order to save time by mixing the workload during post-production, it was recorded directly on the set.

Hearing this voice, everyone had different reactions, Switzer was surprised, Ramon was curious, Cotton was awe-inspiring, and Maggie's face was full of fear, she looked around, and was about to get up, when suddenly there was a boom, and the wooden bed that was made of hands and feet was shaken, and she suddenly screamed in extreme fright: "Ah!!hh

"It's coming!" she moved back and back, but the head of the bed stopped her, and suddenly she screamed again, with pain, as if she was being torn, her eyes widened, and her hands and feet were thrown and kicked, "No, it's coming, save me, God, ahhhh......hh

Ye Wei looked at it, his palms were sweating with nervousness, and he said silently: That's it, my good girl, that's it, fear, pain, it's now!

......

Until 8 o'clock this night, the sound of exorcism kept sounding in the house, as well as the screams of the girl, the director has been calm, when the whole scene is finished, this day is about to get off work, only to praise everyone and say "Very good!"

Nina, who was sweating profusely, also smiled, relieving everyone who doubted whether it was really a demon.

The 10th passed, and the 11th continued to start filming early in the morning, the first turning point has been filmed, Cotton, who thought it was over, came to the farm again, and the suspense of pregnancy and the cause of Maggie's mother's death appeared one after another, and the spearhead was directed at Switzer, who killed his wife and raped his daughter.

The cause of death is mysterious because Maggie started saying crazy things, like mental problems, and like a demon appearing, and the demon is her mother's ghost.

To play these scenes well, it really takes Nina's performance to explode again, because the cunning demon, the resentful Maggie's mother, and poor Maggie are three different images, and it is not enough to perform with their true colors, it is not easy to perform with changing expressions and eyes.

So on this day, Nina's NG times have increased, and Ye Wei's directing has also increased, and the filming progress has slowed down.

Another reason is that it was the weekend, and Konstantin and Mihaela came to visit the class together to see their daughter acting in a movie. They only stayed for an hour or so before they were chased away by Nina, and warned the two not to come back, they were on the set, and she couldn't find the feeling of acting at all.

On the 12th, the fifth day of filming, Cotton began to follow the second exorcism of the ancient book with half a doubt, and began to face the demon head-on.

Nina's performance has another layer of change, madness.

......

After these ten days, the casting of "Dewyan" has a new situation, and now "Little Sunshine Beauty" is a much-anticipated project, and countless young actors want to get this role, not only Angelano, but also well-known actors who took the initiative to participate in auditions, including Jon Hyde, who became famous for "Napoleon".

There are ten people on the final list, including well-known actors, and some lesser-known actors who are excellent in appearance, and they all got the same news, and after the Christmas and New Year holidays, the final audition with Ye Wei will be held, and the specific time will be notified separately.

They don't know why, but if you ask the people on the crew of "Exorcism Video", they'll know why.

"Oh, a young man is a young man, will he be tired?"

When the evening of the 13th was over, Grande and Potko returned to their hotel, so tired that they didn't seem to have the strength to walk back to their rooms, and their only thought was to go to bed and get up again at 5 o'clock tomorrow to watch the samples. From the sale of the script, the 13th day of continuous rapid work!

They are only in their thirties, and they are definitely in the prime of life, but they have been tossing for more than ten days, and they are fine when they do things, as soon as they heard Ye Wei's voice, "That's it here today, hard work", but the whole person fell apart, and the mind of the day was exhausted.

However, the two of them fell asleep with a smile, sleeping very sweetly and steadily, and the other side of these tiredness is that the new work is being realized step by step, feeling God.

Tired, but full of enthusiasm, this is the big face of the crew of "Exorcism Video".

Every creative person cherishes this opportunity very much, compared to showing their talents, ambitions, dreams come true, and looking forward to a bright future.

Grady's right shoulder is swollen and a big lump is nothing, the first time he tried to rub Chinese medicine and wine, he didn't know how to try it before, and he only used it after listening to viy's recommendation, and the effect was really good. In the past, if anyone said that VIY was just commercial hype, he would listen to it, but now he will solemnly refute it, which is really not.

The people who have the most say are the people who have worked with VIY, and Grady doesn't know who in the crew is not convinced by that kid.

As far as Julie Berghoff is concerned, viy is the devil! There is a kind of demon that can make you willing to die for him, you should do it well, you should do it if you don't do it well, you are sorry for him if you don't do it well, he says good is good, and if he says bad, he does it until he says good.

It's so different, even though it's all full speed ahead, "Exorcism Video" and "Chainsaw" are different, faster, more sudden, more work here.

How many times because of Ye Wei's whim, the art team headed by Berghoff almost broke his leg, what kind of shoddy exploitation film, that is a deception! It is not the audience that is deceiving, it is deceiving them to get on the boat. Exploitation films will not care about a prop that the audience will not even notice, exploitation films will not pay attention to what means or subconscious on the set, exploitation films will directly put out the things to be exploited, if you want blood, you will give blood, and if you want breasts, you will give breasts.

He also posed, but he was too demanding when he posed, but what can you do, he is also for the good of the film, looking at his young face full of eagerness, and his words are full of trust, you naturally want to do a good job. It's really quite different from James Wing, the bad boy serious charisma.

Berghoff is not a little girl, but because he can't sleep, he is too stressed! After a whole day of nervousness, her brain is still running, and she doesn't know how to stop, and the day before yesterday she has to take sleeping pills and an alarm clock, telling herself how many days there are left......

In contrast, Mayes C. Rubeo is a little more relaxed, because the script time is only three days, and the actors don't have to prepare a lot of costumes, so Maggie has to design a few more sets. The director's overall requirement was "90s, a sense of desolation", and she used her ideas to the fullest, and whether the project was released or successful, it was always more fun than guarding the closet.

Until about 10 o'clock in the evening of the 13th, Rubeo was suddenly patronized by the devil!

Viy called, the dark red dress that was prepared before was gone, it was originally Nina's costume tomorrow, and Viy also said that dark red can be a strong contrast with the white of the snow scene and the black of the night, but now he said "I was negligent, the dark red does not fit Maggie's character, not the most suitable, she is a simple farm girl, there should be no bewitching dark red dress." So change it to a white dress, a classical and simple style, not white, but gray, with the blood that killed Katie and the large blood stains. ”

I'm going to use it tomorrow, two of the same paragraph, one has bloodstains, one doesn't, where to find it suddenly?

Sitting in the chair and thinking for a while, Rubeo sighed and left the room to leave the hotel, there was no need to sleep this night.

......

Tick tick tick!

The sky was still dark, and the alarm clock was already ringing.

"Hmm...... Got it......" Martha Villanueva slowly turned around, reached for the alarm clock on the bedside table, forced herself to open her eyes, and yawned to get up.

As the makeup stylist of the crew, she has to arrive on the set at the earliest every day and start the day's work at the earliest to set the makeup for the leading actors. But every time she thinks she's the first to arrive, she sees Viy playing football there, and Nina, who is going to put on makeup, is still sleeping in his car.

It's the 14th, no matter what, there is only today and tomorrow left, come on!
