Chapter 227: Day and Night

These days, Nina feels like a philosopher, constantly thinking about philosophical questions: What is Maggie's feeling? What is the feeling of "Exorcism Video"?

Yunik has prepared a lot of things for her, filled with a large duffel bag, of course, some scripts, and many DVDs, such as the "Exorcist" series, "Blair the Witch", "Alien" series, "Midnight Bells" series, "Curse" series...... It's all thrillers and horror films, as well as some real Vatican exorcism video materials, and several books on demonic and monster culture, which he says she has to read, and it is best to read them all, and then do further research as she feels.

In addition to these, there is also a small homemade electric shocker, a wire is attached to a black box, and the AA battery can be used to shock yourself without harming the body.

"You have to taste the taste of ** pain and replace it with demonic torture. It's good to find the feeling of electricity a few times, if you hurt yourself with electricity, it will hurt my heart. ”

Every time I think of him saying this, Nina wants to laugh, he really doesn't know how rhythmic gymnastics and ballet are practiced, when she is a delicate woman who has not suffered, just practicing leg skills, she doesn't know how many times she has cried in pain since she was a child, no one is born with a word, and her ugly feet are not born to be beautiful only in pointe shoes.

Nina didn't say much, just followed his idea to do it, because this was his heart, and he called himself a few times, which hurt a lot, but his heart was sweet.

Yunik took this into account! He proposed a very nerdy, but very professional plan that night: "From now on, until the end, we are going to enter the state of 'frozen sweetness', don't let me disturb your feelings, you are Maggie, you are Maggie, you are Maggie!"

So in the past few days, Wen Cun has lost his affection, he doesn't talk much, he just talks about the work of the film, and he still speaks in a flat tone, avoiding eye contact, as if he is resisting her.

Let my mother think that it was the oolong that made her have a conflict with Yunik, but it's not. When she took an actor's contract and asked her parents to sign it, they were all shocked, but in the end she didn't object, she definitely wanted to develop in art, and she was determined to practice ballet when she was a child, what was she against.

Yunik wants to pay her $10,000 and she doesn't want a penny, isn't that enough?

He said that professional things are handled professionally, she will not push back, a little savings is good, almost poor to death, a little pocket money every month can not be kept, before I wanted to buy him a DV machine and was ready to borrow money from his mother, now there is no need to buy, Christmas gifts, New Year's gifts, Valentine's Day gifts, birthday gifts, etc.? With this money, you can buy some good things for him.

The filming period is expected to be 8 days, and she will participate in 6 days, and the school will ask for leave, but Yunik said that the rhythmic gymnastics training cannot be stopped, and it cannot affect next year's World Youth Championships, so it is arranged on the schedule, and she will not shoot her scene from 3 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, leaving her time for training.

Although I have said this countless times in my heart, I still want to say it no matter how I say it, Yunik is so good!

You can't live up to his heart!

Nina knows that "Exorcism Video" is not a nonsense, not to let her have fun like a princess, it is to work hard to make a movie professionally, and you must try your best to do your best.

She actually doesn't like to watch horror movies very much, because it's scary, she loves to watch comedies the most, romantic comedies are the best, speaking of which, she hasn't watched "The Wedding is Coming", and "Dance of Angels" too, I don't know why, I just don't want to watch it, maybe when will I want to watch it in the future, but not now......

It's been a frightening few days, and every night I'm alone in my room, watching horror movies and chilling materials on the computer.

I can't sleep well, I have been following my family to believe in Christianity since I was a child, and I didn't pay much attention to it before, but in recent days, she has really become much more religious, and she can only sleep when she reads the Bible.

But the more scared she became, the more Nina found her senses and learned more about Maggie.

My dear mother died a few years ago, and then she lived on a farm like a prison, and recently she was possessed by a demon and unconsciously killed animals. It's terrible, this kind of thing happens, of course I'm scared, I'm confused, I'm worried about who else I'm going to hurt.

Maggie is a kind and optimistic girl, she doesn't want to die, she wants to live a normal life, she wants to fall in love, well, she has a crush on a guy, a former classmate in the town, he met him unintentionally once in the town a long time ago, and he still smiles at her, his name is ...... Yonick!

She wants to be an adult, she wants to go to school, fall in love, get married, live an independent life, she can drive everywhere by herself, she can leave the farm...... In short, she didn't want to die, there was nothing left when she died, and if she died, who would take care of Katie? It was her cat, and she was also her good friend, and with Katie by her side, a lot of loneliness could pass.

Maggie was afraid of death, but she was afraid that she would become a demon, it was so ugly, her head turned back, her skin became like tree bark, the bones of her whole body protruded from her body, her mouth was full of fangs, her eyes were glowing, and maybe her stomach suddenly burst out with a bunch of aliens...... It's really dead, otherwise how can you live, when Yunik sees her so ugly, it's better to live than to die!

Loneliness, depression, fear, despair, looking forward to an impossible future, not wanting to die, and dying is a relief.

Nina felt that she had entered Maggie's heart, but it was not thorough enough, or because she was very happy, even if Yunik ignored her, she would be very happy when she looked at him, this must be the last problem that prevented her from becoming Maggie, what to do, she asked the school teacher, read the book, and the answer pointed to emotional substitution.

It's that Maggie is depressed, and she can't be depressed now, so just think about the previous depression and achieve the same feeling.

This is to evoke emotions, "memory" is really interesting, obviously some things and years have passed for a long time, recall only remember one or two specific scenes and ideas, or even not one of them, but the feeling is still there, and it can be awakened. She thinks that the feeling of youth now, looking back after a few years, must be like this, and she will not forget it.

Nina remembered that when she was a child, she was taken by her mother to learn ballet at the beginning, and she was scared, her legs hurt so much, and she was a little angry......

Angry? These days, she has a new sense of anger! The mean insurance company actually refuses to accept her actor's insurance, unless there is no scene running barefoot on the farm.

"The insurance company is afraid that you will get hurt, the problem is not running, it is barefoot, so you just put on your shoes, a pair of conspicuous red shoes. ”

"No, don't you say that running barefoot in the snow is the best? They don't want insurance, then they don't want insurance, I don't, you better give me the money you pay for insurance." ”

"I'm wondering if it's necessary, running barefoot in the snow makes it easy to chill you, and the effect of wearing shoes isn't so bad......"

"It's good with or without insurance, I won't wear it then, and if I say barefoot, I'll be barefoot. ”

No matter how Yunik changed her tune, Nina had already made up her mind that barefoot was what he really wanted, and it couldn't be lost because of a stupid insurance company.

No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, not only is she busy, Yunic is even busier, every day is like a sports car that drives to the highest speed, insurance is not his responsibility, nor is it recruiting crew employees, renting equipment, and finding costumes and props, he is mainly responsible for determining the filming location and interviewing actors.

In the end, they were all found, and it was Toronto-based actors who played roles such as Cotton and Switzer, while Ramon was ...... Damian Rush!

Because of Yunik, Nina also knows Damian, she has no problem with homosexuality, but she has an opinion about Damian who is staring at her boyfriend, and looking at the way he looks at Yunik, like Hellet, it's really annoying. Isn't he a visual media artist, but he can also perform? Yunik said that he is very good at it, and his image and temperament are very suitable for Ramon.

Maggie's mother, mom made a cameo, haha, this was her idea, anyway, the cameo was just some group photos, or there was no suitable photo of her and a middle-aged woman a few years ago, so it would be more feeling.

On Wednesday the 8th, the crew of "Exorcism Video" secretly started filming!

Unfortunately, she continued to go to school, train and prepare on this day, and Yunik said that it would be more efficient to shoot all the other scenes outside the farm first, and then shoot the scenes that focused on the big scene of the farm, which would give her two more days to prepare.

It's really two days, after the 8th and 9th passed, she didn't know if she was ready, if she could, she wanted to do more effort, but Maggie's scene was about to be filmed!

On the morning of the 10th, Nina tasted what it was like to be a movie actress for the first time, which was quite interesting, under the leadership of Yunik, she followed the crew of nearly 20 people to two places in a row, one was a motel, the other was a clinic, makeup, styling, and filmed the scene where Maggie somehow caught up with Cotton and others from the farm.

The first time I performed in front of the camera, it didn't seem to be that difficult, I didn't have to do any expressions when I was in the hotel, I just had to look sluggish and lose my soul, and there were a few scenes where I had to vomit in pain. It's pretty much the same in the hospital, expressionless, helpless, silent.

She felt that her appearance was okay, Yunik kept saying that it was good, and she didn't know if there was anything to coax her, she didn't dare to be complacent, the real challenge was on the farm!

What is certain and certain is that the director is very good! It is so clear on the set how mature and talented Yunic is, how talented he is, he leads a team of professionals who are all adults, but there is nothing at all that he doesn't know how to do, there is humor, talent, leadership.

It's like shooting night scenes at a hotel, but she doesn't understand what to do in the morning and during the day, Yunik says "day-for-night", and uses a filter to disguise herself as a night scene, which he says is an old photographic trick, but since the popularity of fast photosensitive film and digital photography, it has become less common.

Because the picture effect of the daylight and night scene is very poor, the big crew doesn't save this money, and the small crew doesn't need to use numbers. Now it is only used in special circumstances, and he said that it is this kind of crude fake night scene, which will look weird and weird when used in some places in horror movies, so it is very suitable.

Although Nina wants to be more professional and professional, Yunik is really handsome on the set......

......

"The whole world prepares, the idlers go away!"

"Recording ready. ”

"Photography-ready. ”

"The first shot of the thirty-fourth, the first one. ”

β€œfire!”

From the afternoon of the 10th, the crew of "Exorcism Video" settled in a snow-covered farm in Markham City, north of Toronto, more than half of the population of Markham City is Chinese, and the farmer He Jingcheng and his wife are one of them.

If it weren't for Ye Wei's "beautiful boy", they wouldn't be happy to be disturbed, and they wouldn't be willing to let the crew use the somewhat old house, where they lived. The light of the Chinese is naturally different, even if it has to be kept secret first and cannot be publicized, the He family is very happy.

In order to keep it secret, Ye Wei did everything he could, except for various agreements, as little as possible, and low-key, in order to prevent passers-by or paparazzi from taking photos during the filming period, whenever he went out, he put on glasses, a wig and a duckbill hat, almost as transvestite, and finally could take a breath when he arrived at the farm.

As early as the day of filming, just one morning, ten minutes to be precise, he began to taste the trouble of film shooting.

Because a standard box of 35mm film is 1,000 feet (305 meters) long, the camera shoots 1 per second. 5 feet (0. 49 meters), plus the loss of the opening and ending credits, usually a box can shoot for ten minutes, and then you have to change the film, and changing the film is a technical job, once it runs out, it will be over.

Ye Wei doesn't have the skills to do it, and he doesn't need to do it, this is the work of the film crew, Grady, who doesn't have an assistant, changes it personally, he learns and helps from the side, almost letting the film box open the lid, and almost breaking the camera's grabbing claw......

Yes, yes! He admits that he was a little scramble at the beginning and lost the authority of the director, but no one said that the director had to be skilled in loading the film! "Genius can't make mistakes!" "Well, fortunately it didn't happen on the set of "Little Sunshine Beauty", fortunately Nina was not there, otherwise his director would have made a mess of the impression she had on her.

Loading is just a small problem, you can't watch the playback immediately, you can only see what the DV camera shoots on the tied camera, and the power of the DV camera is troublesome...... Registration, washing, and management of films...... It's been three days since filming began, and he hasn't looked at the dailies much, so he can't afford to waste that time if he asks Grande to check that it's not damaged.

It wasn't so fast, it was really impossible to come to the farm on the afternoon of the third day.
