Man has an instinctive fear of the dark.

In the ancient days of slash-and-burn farming, the smell of death began to fill the air after the sun set.

Countless beasts and unknown fears roared and devoured their trembling ancestors, and many died in the night without explanation.

It's an emotion that's engraved in our genes.

When Zhou Yang went down to the mine for the first time, he was afraid deep in his heart, and at the same time there was a sense of suffocation and claustrophobia.

It's a kind of uneasiness that comes from the depths of the soul.

Mines are divided into three categories, vertical shafts, inclined shafts, and flat shafts......

The shaft hangs down from the ground and is the size of a well.

At the mouth of the mine there was a rusty iron shelf with several cables tied to it, and an elevator-like lifting platform was suspended from the bottom of the cables.

This platform is called Tank Cage.

If in strict accordance with the safety standards, the tank cage should be the same as the elevator, with walls and iron nets on all sides to prevent falling from a height, if it is safer, it must be equipped with several cables to tow it, forming a double insurance system.

Of course, it is impossible for a private mine to follow strict regulations in this way, and even it has no shelter on all four sides, only four cables and a few thick planks for grip and support, and people just descend along the cables.

When going down the well, because of the sudden change in air pressure, people's eardrums will often be shaken and buzzed, and even a kind of indescribable pain will be born, and Zhou Yang is even more miserable.

When Zhou Yang went down to the mine for the first time, his stomach kept twitching, and he vomited out all the food he had eaten that morning.

After he vomited it all, his physical condition was slightly better.

………………………………

"We're going to go underground to shoot?"

"Well, I'm going to go down the well."

"How deep is this mine?"

"It's not very deep, it's only about 400 meters."

"What? What did you say? It's only more than 400 meters! ”

"The well I used to work in was more than 1,000 meters deep......"

“……”

Early morning.

The first rays of sunlight shone on the earth.

The crew of "Mine Bottom" finally started filming.

Feng Kai saw the pick-up point in the first act, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the mouth of the mine.

His face changed dramatically!

He was shocked and angry at the rusty iron shelves and the swaying cables.

The shock is that Zhou Yang's brain is broken, and he really wants to go down to the well to shoot!

The angry thing is that this thing doesn't have a safety factor at first glance, what if it breaks in the middle of the road?

It's just a bad movie, do you need to work so hard?

Only a few days after coming here, he heard that the mine next door seemed to have collapsed, and although he did not hear the news of the deaths, who knows how much the internal information has been blocked?

"If something goes wrong in this place, how are we going to escape?" Feng Kai stared at Zhou Yang, and after thinking of all the possibilities, he gasped.

His life is much more precious than Zhou Yang's.

Zhou Yang's death is dead!

But he is shouldering the hope of future domestic films, and he can't explain it here!

"......" Zhou Yang stared at the wellhead for a while, and then fell into a long silence.

He seems to be weighing the pros and cons.

"Director Zhou, we can dig a hole by ourselves, there's really no need to go down, and there are many ways to shoot, isn't it simple to choose a spot? Making a movie is not a matter of playing with fate, if something really happens, no one can afford this responsibility! When Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang's appearance, he subconsciously leaned closer and reminded him in a whisper.

"......" Zhou Yang still didn't answer Feng Kai's words, but turned his head to look at the other staff members of the film crew.

They all seemed to be speechless and stopped, although they didn't say anything, but their expressions were extremely resistant.

Obviously, no one wants to go down.

It's a very dangerous thing to go down to the mine to shoot on the spot.

It's a game of death!

No one likes to play with their lives.

"More than four hundred meters! Even if there is even the slightest accident, we will all be buried alive! ”

“……”

"I know this is a mine you've carefully chosen, but who can guarantee that accidents won't happen?"

“……”

"Moreover, it's not the next well, it's going to be down the well for several days in a row to shoot......

“……”

Feng Kai continued to whisper in front of Zhou Yang, persuading Zhou Yang to dispel this thought.

Zhou Yang closed his eyes.

Finally, he nodded faintly.

"Director Feng, then help shoot the plot on the ground first."

"Good! That's right! ”

………………………………

"Ready!"

“ACTION！”

As Feng Kai's gesture fell, the first scene of the movie finally started filming.

The first act is actually in a normal coal mine work area, focusing on three characters.

Tang Chaoyang, Song Jinming, Zhang Genbao.

The content of the shooting is also very simple......

It's a scene where three people pass a cigarette to each other.

The actors of the three, Zhong Facai, Zhao Zhen, and Chen Shuangbao, are pumped in this way in the mine, which is not a difficult thing for the actors, just perform in their true colors......

It's not so much about making a movie as it's about recording a video.

It's just that the battle is a little bit bigger.

Pity......

Maybe it's because of the relationship between the camera, and the state of several people is not quite right.

Off-camera.

"Over!"

"Over!"

"Yes! Not bad, too! ”

Feng Kai wore a small hat and made various gestures.

He seemed a little careless, he had given all the filming plots he could, and he didn't even bother to correct the most basic shooting mistakes and actors' status problems, and he finished shooting directly in one shot.

As for the good or the bad?

Who cares about you!

He didn't care how the picture went, and he didn't sign his name anyway.

And in his heart, he thinks it's a coal boss filming and playing, and he doesn't even think this thing is called a movie.

"Director Feng, I don't think this action is appropriate, Facai seems to be a little nervous, I think I should adjust it......"

"No."

"I don't think Shuangbao's eyes are right, a little rigid ......"

"It doesn't matter, I think this kind of look is quite right, very distinctive......"

"I think ......"

"Director Zhou, please let me go, we are looking for a shooting angle, and when we are shooting, try not to disturb us, otherwise it will affect the shooting status......"

“……”

“……”

Zhou Yang watched in front of the camera for a while.

He felt that it was wrong to shoot like this, and finally couldn't help but ask a lot of questions.

It's a pity that except for director Feng Kai, who occasionally copes with one or two sentences, no one pays attention to him.

There were many problems, and over time, even Feng Kai ignored him.

He just stood like this, and was even driven far away by Feng Kai because he was in the way, and was finally driven out of the filming area.

He looked at the crew.

He was like an outsider isolated by the crew, and he wanted to say a lot of things in his heart.

His face was flushed!

He subconsciously felt that Feng Kai was not right.

However, he could not refute it.

A layman who doesn't know how to shoot is pointing fingers at the crew, won't it affect the crew's shooting?

He bowed his head.

……………………

Evening.

The crew called it a day.

The staff came down early.

It was too cold for them to withstand the bitter cold on the mountain.

The filming of the film went very fast, and on the first day alone, some scenes in the mine were almost filmed.

Zhou Yang didn't know how the filming went, he only knew that there was nothing NG in the first scene of this movie.

The mountain breeze is indeed cold.

But not so much that it can't be overwhelmed.

Zhou Yang did not go down the mountain, and also rejected Feng Kai's proposal to go to the surrounding KTV to drink some wine and sing to relax.

He had little interest in any of that.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Yang is probably a screwed person.

He either doesn't do things, or he does his best to do it to the extreme.

Otherwise......

There will be regret in the heart, and there will be chagrin.

He felt that there was something wrong with the content of today's shooting, and he was eager to see how the film went.

Pity......

He couldn't see it.

Feng Kai refused on the grounds that the sample film needed to be edited, and the semi-finished product had no reason to look good.

"Director Zhou, I think we didn't shoot well......"

Director Zhou...... I also feel like I was a little nervous just now, we're not usually like that......"

“……”

Chen Shuangbao finished smoking the last cigarette, and then walked up to Zhou Yang with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Zhao Zhen on the other side also came over, and after reviewing the content of the shooting, he was also very dissatisfied.

They can actually detect the state of the shooting and the state of the day.

Although they also feel that this movie may not be released, just watch it casually, but they still feel unnatural under the camera, they have baggage in their hearts, and they are very nervous at the same time.

Zhou Yang did not answer their words.

He walked silently towards the edge of the mine in their sight.

The sunset stained half the sky red.

He stared at the deep mines.

Just staring at it tightly.

He vaguely recalled the picture of "Blind Well" in the movie and the expressions of the actors.

Think of what I photographed today......

Far from it!

It's just too far, too far.

He bowed his head.

My heart gradually sank.

It's been sinking for a long, long time......

…………………………

The next day, at noon, Feng Kai walked up the mountain.

Yesterday in the KTV they were very high.

Singing, dancing, and calling a few professional women to accompany the drink, had a lot of fun.

When I came back, it was already early in the morning.

When they came to the mountain, they saw Zhou Yang standing at the intersection.

Feng Kai smiled and subconsciously greeted Zhou Yang.

"Director Zhou, came up so early? Haha......"

“……”

Zhou Yang looked at him silently and did not make any response.

He just stood silently like a log.
