11 June 1999.

The weather was exceptionally nice on this day, sunny and cloudless, and it was rare for Los Angeles to have such good weather, and even those rare birds began to chirp on the branches, which seemed to be very lively.

Dream Pictures, the crew of "Chainsaw" began the start-up worship ceremony as usual.

The statue of Emperor Guan, who was revered as the Chinese god by Yi Feiyang, was majestically pestled in the center of the shooting site, and incense burners, sandalwood, roast suckling pig, fruits, and other offerings were readily available.

Bill Rabbit, Fat Jack and others seem to have become accustomed to this very Chinese worship ceremony, and James Wing, as the assistant director, and Max Fengsey as the starring role. Duo, as well as other actors, are all in contact with such an interesting start-up ceremony for the first time, so they all stared at what the person in front of them was doing, and then they also bowed to the incense in a similar way, and chattered a few words in their mouths, Lord Guan blessed......

"Why is this Chinese god so red?" The actor "Ray Warner" who played "Adam" next to him couldn't help but ask "Dante Seaton" who played Dr. "Gordon" next to him.

"Oh must have drunk a lot of wine, you know, Chinese love to drink, especially their kind of two-pot head, I drank it once, God, it's just alcohol!"

"It's rare for a god to drink like this."

"Don't say that, I've also seen a black-faced Chinese god, what's called Bao Qingtian, that guy is even more awesome, I heard that he can pass through the underworld and hell and interrogate those who have made mistakes......"

……

The ceremony of turning on the worship of God is finally over.

Yi Feiyang, as the director, stood majestically in the center of the venue, smoking a cigarette. Look at the crew members who are preparing around them.

Next to him is the assistant director James Gentle Bunny Bill. Fat Jack did the coordination this time. Responsible for the convening and arrangement of the entire crew.

Originally. Yi Feiyang should be in charge of his own cartoon, and this drama should be directed by Rabbit Bill, but after experiencing a series of things such as the script crash, in order to hurry up and grasp efficiency, Yi Feiyang still went into battle in person and became the director of this play...... In this regard, Bill the Rabbit had to sigh that his life was not good. However, Yi Feiyang promised him that after the company's situation stabilized, he would definitely open a new play for him, so that he could be addicted to being a director.

"Director, the preparations are all done, all the personnel are in place, we can get started!" A staff member came to Yi Feiyang and said.

"Oh? Ready to start? All right! Let's all start working together, Saw Horror...... Get ready for the shoot! Yi Feiyang threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, looked at it, and then stepped on it. He twisted vigorously and waved his big hand. Towards a new starting point in your life.

Furnished in the factory bathroom.

"Dante, it's a long shot, it's all a rivalry between you and Ray, you must show your real skills." Yi Feiyang held the script in his hand, said a word to Dante Seaton who was standing on his left, then handed him the script and instructed: "You come and play it again, you treat me as Adam now!" ”

Under the dress of the stylist, Dante painted a miserable white makeup, giving people a feeling of torture, he took the script handed by Yi Feiyang and nodded: "No problem." After speaking, he performed on this Yi Feiyang.

Looking at Dante after the performance, Yi Feiyang called Ray Werner and came over, he didn't have much makeup on his face, mainly the setting of the character, a guy who got up from a bathtub filled with water, does he need makeup?

Yi Feiyang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lei, you have to know that you want to play a photographer who specializes in taking people's privacy, you are a small person, envy the life of rich people, and with this selfishness, you are very timid, you always like to be suspicious and guard against others, understand?" ”

Ray Werner nodded repeatedly, listening carefully to Yi Feiyang's request.

After talking for a while, seeing that the photography equipment was ready, Yi Feiyang clapped his hands, looked at Ray and Dante, and said with a smile: "Guys, let's take their places!" ”

……

Suddenly.

"Ready, ready!" Yi Feiyang calmed down his excitement, stood behind the monitor, and slowly looked around.

The scene reporter stood on the camera with the clapperboard, he looked at Yi Feiyang, holding a notebook and pen in his arm, ready to sit on the side to record after the start, the cameraman Cindy carried the camera and looked at the camera intently, and the lighting artist Charlie dimmed the lights in order to achieve the dark environment at the beginning.

Dante Seaton sat on the ground with a furrowed brow and closed his eyes in the play, while Ray. Werner was immersed in the pool, glowing keys floating across his face.

Looking at the clapperboard in front of him, which read SAW, the first scene, the first shot, director FeiYangYi and other information, Yi Feiyang looked at all the staff, and finally waved his hand: "Action!! ”

"Smack!" The clear and loud clapperboard slams shut, and the movie officially begins!

The camera lens is in focus.

Thunder. "Adam", played by Walner, suddenly wakes up in a bathtub full of water, and he struggles to crawl out of the bathtub with a cough, and falls to the ground in a panic.

Close-up: At this time, the lights were extremely dim, Reina seemed to be unable to see what was in front of him, and was terrified to find that his feet were locked by thick chains, he fumbled with the chains, stood up tremblingly, and shouted: "Help, help!" Damn, who locked me up? ”

Pulling the chain hard, Thunder. Wolner gasped and exclaimed, "Oh God! Is this anyone? I need help! Hell, I'm dead! ”

Lens transition, change perspective.

"You're not dead...... Dr. "Gordon", played by "Dante Seadon", said weakly as he sat on the ground and said weakly, like a guy who has lost hope after struggling desperately.

"Who's where? Who is it? Speak up! ”

"No need to scream, I tried"

"Hey, whoever you are, turn the lights on!"

"I want to, too, but I can't find the switch."

……

Ray Werner and Dante Seaton are both ordinary actors who have been on reserve since the establishment of Dream Pictures, and neither of them has attended any acting school. There weren't many opportunities to act, either. Therefore, it is rusty in terms of technique. However, the drama "Chainsaw" pursues the story effect, and the requirements for the actors' acting skills are not too high, so as long as the performance is not too out of line, Yi Feiyang will not say much, just pass it, to put it bluntly, this is a fast food film, and it was only filmed for two weeks in the previous life.

Inside the camera. Ray Werner's character finally decides to use the hacksaw in his hand to have his feet sawed off alive so that he can escape.

The camera is close-up, and I saw him shaking uncontrollably with the hacksaw in his hand.

Yi Feiyang instructed photographer Cindy to "shoot with a subjective lens, which can enhance the sense of substitution......"

Close-up, cold sweat on Ray Werner's forehead, hesitating with a hacksaw in hand, off-camera. His heavy breathing could be heard......

……

"Cards!" Yi Feiyang, who was standing behind the camera watching the shot, suddenly stopped.

On the set, Ray Werner and Dante Seaton, who were performing, paused for a moment. I don't understand what went wrong with my performance just now.

Yi Feiyang gestured with his hand to make a gesture of coming over, allowing Ray and Dante to walk in front of him.

Then Yi Feiyang asked Lei: "Dear Lei, let me ask you, what is terror?" ”

"Terror is...... It's scared, yes, it's scared. Ray replied with a shrug.

"So what's scared?"

"Scared...... It's just ......" Lei didn't know how to answer, "It's just very afraid, yes, very afraid of something or people......"

"So what do you think will happen to a very scary person when he encounters something very scary?"

"This ...... It should be a loud scream, or a loud shout for help. ”

"Except for this......"

"Well, shivering, lips trembling, and ......"

"OK, since you know this, why did you sweat on your forehead when you were filming just now?"

"This ...... Is there something wrong? ”

"Man, sweat on your forehead is nervousness, not fear!"

"But I think...... Pretty much! Lei thinks Yi Feiyang is a little too serious.

Dante next to him also said: "Yes, when someone is afraid, not only does he sweat on his forehead, but he also sweats all over his body, and he sweats profusely, isn't it?" ”

Yi Feiyang shook his head, "Then let me ask you, do you like to watch horror movies?" ”

"I like it, of course I like it, we're horror movie fans!"

"If we didn't like horror movies, we wouldn't be here to film!"

Ray and Dante sang and said in harmony.

"So when you watched horror movies, did you ever get scared, or scared?"

"Of course there is, what we look at is the heartbeat, the heart is beating wildly, the more tense and exciting, the weirder and more terrifying, the better."

"Okay, now I'll tell you a story......" Yi Feiyang said suddenly.

"Huh, tell the story now?" The people who were filming were stunned, and they didn't know which one Yi Feiyang was playing. As the assistant director and Yi Feiyang's apprentice, James Wen is even more confused, but he firmly believes in his heart that Yi Feiyang must have his reasons for doing this.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Feiyang began his own weird story.

"My aunt is a doctor in Hong Kong and graduated from medical school, and here is how she recounted her first encounter with a dead man:

It was not long after I entered the school, one morning in the anatomy class, the teacher asked me to help pick up something, the thing was put in a tray, covered with a piece of cloth, I took the thing to the classroom according to his instructions, I thought it was a model, but when I opened it, it turned out to be a real person's head, a middle-aged man's, with a beard on his face, his eyes still open, and his expression was strange! Some of the girls in the classmates screamed, and it is no wonder that although they are medical students, they have long been mentally prepared for these, but they are still surprised at first sight.

I couldn't eat for two days in a row, and I couldn't sleep well at night. Later, I saw a lot of things, and my nerves became numb after I actually entered the industry psychologically, and I could even go to the dissection room alone on the eve of the exam to fiddle with those things!

It's a process that almost all medical students are able to walk through, with exceptions, of course!

The exception was a skinny boy: he was from another class, he rarely spoke, but he studied hard, and at dusk he could always be seen reading under a tree by the playground opposite the dormitory with some books in his pocket. Because the anatomy class was taken together, we often saw his panicked look when facing the cadaver specimens in class. At first, he didn't think so, but then he was still so frightened when even the most timid girl was no longer afraid, and everyone thought it was unusual, and some people made fun of him, saying that he was allergic to those things. He didn't argue either.

At the end of the semester, something strange happened, and the corpses in the morgue were severely damaged. Some were bitten to the point of decay, and the situation was terrifying! The school increased its security but found nothing, so many students spontaneously organized a vigil in turn, vowing to arrest the saboteurs. Only the little boy didn't participate, he was still allergic to that kind of thing, and he vomited a few times in class, and it seems that the symptoms have worsened, and everyone doesn't care.

Since the troublemakers could not be caught for several days, people began to suspect that they were thieves, so someone came up with a way to smear dye on the corpse and remove the patrol that night.

After a night of calm, the next day the most shocking thing happened, the body was bitten again! At the same time, the little boy who was allergic to corpses was found dead in front of the dressing mirror in the bathroom, his mouth covered with fuchsia dye!

My aunt sighed and said, "People, likes and fears are sometimes indistinguishable!"

Yi Feiyang's story came to an abrupt end, which made Ray and Dante stunned for a while, and they felt that the story told by the director was very "Edgar Allan Poe", very "Gothic" suspense and darkness.

While others began to think about Yi Feiyang's last sentence - people, likes and fears are sometimes indistinguishable!"

James Wen was the most perceptive, and soon understood the deep meaning that Yi Feiyang wanted to express.

Actors Ray and Dante didn't slow down at first, they only felt that the story told by Yi Feiyang was very strange and could be published in American horror magazines. But soon, they understood that Yi Feiyang was not telling a story, but teaching them how to act!

If a person likes to watch horror movies, he likes to substitute himself into the character and feel the fear experienced by the character; However, deep down, I knew that I was watching a play and would not be hurt at all.

Filming is different, as an actor, when you want to get in, you have to forget who you are...... And that sense of fear is definitely deep in the bone marrow......

Sometimes, people can't distinguish between likes and fears, but as for actors, they must separate the two, not for anything else, because you are an actor! You're a character in the play! When filming, you must not have the idea of "I'm filming, I'm safe", you have to go deeper......

Inspired by Yi Feiyang, Ray Werner and Dante Seaton were in high spirits and began to devote themselves to filming.

Not to mention, as long as the actors are willing to work hard, the shots will be different.

Ray, who was originally a street vendor, became the unlucky ghost "Adam" in the movie story in a blink of an eye, and Dante, who originally carried pork in the freezing factory, also became a cowardly doctor "Gordon" in a blink of an eye. The two compete with each other in the play, and their state is not the same as steel. (To be continued......)
