Chapter 249: "Graveyard Encounter", New Scenario 1
"He said welcome to Maine."
In a dilapidated office, a black man with a marinated egg head was enthusiastically saying something to Xing Xueming beside him, Xing Xueming crossed his fingers, smiling at the black man, and tilting his neck to translate to the Lin Yu beside him.
"He said you are welcome to make movies in Maine, but I hope you will make more pictures of Maine's customs and promote Maine."
"He said that the Maine Film Association would handle it, and the rent would only need to be paid a symbolic 20,000 yuan."
"You can renovate it inside, as long as you restore it afterwards."
"Say thank you for me."
“He said,Thank you。”
Lin Yu stood up, shook hands with the white man, and then walked out of the office, Maine is easy to do, similar to the economy of some sparsely populated and extremely remote areas in China, in the scope of smaller towns, it is already a great thing to have a crew to shoot the scene.
Doing things here, it is really a good deal, and I successfully won the lease right of a place, and there is no problem with the rest.
"Brother Xing, you go back first, I plan to stay here to read the information."
Lin Yu is still suspicious of the problem of his own script, and he is not sure about it for a while, and plans to study it again.
"If you don't know the place, can you?" Xing Xueming was a little worried, "And the security here is not good." ”
"Don't go out at night."
"Don't worry, I'm just studying how to decorate and decorate my mental hospital, and if there's any problem, I'll go to the person in the office to help me solve it."
"That's okay, you just have to know it in your own heart." Xing Xueming didn't persuade Lin Yu hard, after all, he was taking money to do things, where would he have time to accompany Lin Yu here?
After explaining to Lin Yu for a while, he left the contact information of a local association translator, and Xing Xueming took the car back, leaving Lin Yu alone in Maine.
Lin Yu began to bury his head into the library, and began to look for some local legends and books to read.
And a lot of people started watching some local horror movies, absorbing some material from the middle.
These days, the forest fish spends all day in the library or in the motel, without leaving the house.
The cultural history of Maine is very interesting, and there are many legends and horror stories about revenge, religion, witches, and fires around the Indians.
There are also many "clown" stories.
"The customs of each country are different." After reading the information for half a month, Lin Yu couldn't help but come to such a conclusion with emotion.
For example, horror films that can scare the country in China are usually from Southeast Asia, while horror films from Europe and the United States are usually 'adaptable' because of different cultures and customs.
For example, the clown is the childhood shadow of many Chinese people, but this thing is only seen as a fun character in China.
For example, the elements of witches and evil spirits, when placed in China, have basically become a setting of Western fantasy style, and they will not feel any kind of horror at all.
There are probably only two types of European and American movies that can be associated with the mainland, one is similar to a horror cruise ship, which is novel in setting, and the other is bloody, such as Chainsaw.
"In other words, the local elements are not necessarily the case!"
In the library, pinching his chin and looking at a book in his hand, Lin Yu couldn't help but fall into thought.
One of these books had a message that made Lin Yu think about the era of the 1880s and even before, when it was popular to have lobotomy to deal with mental illness.
It was originally from the other side of the ocean, when a neurologist investigated the corpses of mummies, he found that many mummies had tiny holes in their heavenly spirit covers.
Studies have found that these holes were used to treat epilepsy.
As a result, Moniz began to perform this kind of surgery on some mental patients with extreme epilepsy, and some patients became docile after surgery.
In 1935, at the second London Neuropsychiatric Society, John Fulton and Carol Jacobson proposed that chimpanzees were significantly less aggressive after lobotomy of the brain.
After that, the operation quickly began to spread, and in the 20th century, no less than 50,000 such surgeries were performed in the United States.
However, it is worth mentioning that in essence, doctors do not understand the principle of this kind of surgery, and it is exactly the same as the "empirical" criticism of Chinese medicine. I just think it seems to be useful.
It turned out that the results of this operation were completely random, half became stupid, half became more irritable.
And a psychiatric hospital in Maine used to have such an operation.
……
In the motel, Lin Yu fights at night and stays up playing some of the horror movies in Maine, including various horrors of Stephen Edwin King.
I was not satisfied with these forest fish, and further brushed those garbage movies in China until the sky was slightly bright.
"It's really ......, it's too ugly, it's really torturous."
Pressing a space bar on the computer to pause a domestic movie that plagiarized the Siamese horror school category, Lin Yu rubbed his face, and the whole person was in a trance.
I walked to the sink and washed my face, and then walked to the bed in a trance.
His face was already slightly bright, the clouds were light gray, and the white light of the fish's belly gave off a soft glow in the sky.
After an all-nighter, Rao is young forest fish also felt a little unbearable, his heart beat very fast, and his chest hurt with a bang.
"I can't stand it." Lin Yu shook his head, his mind seemed to be stuffed with a ball of paste, and then he went to bed, turned his head upside down, and fell asleep.
After this end, Lin Yu's whole person became day and night upside down, the whole person slept deadly, and his dream was not stable, and his confused brain seemed to have slept for a long, long time.
Finally, in a daze, I don't know how long it took, Lin Yu opened his eyes blankly and unsatisfied, and stared blankly at the ceiling that had gradually darkened in the room.
He got up, touched his skull, and hit his temple with the knuckle of his fist.
I touched my phone and looked at the time on it, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was about to set.
"I've slept too long." The forest fish dragged his dizzy body out of bed, and every day, the forest fish even felt like he was rotting in the room.
Before it was completely dark, Lin Yu first went to McDonald's, a kilometer away, to buy something to eat and go home.
On the street, some black brothers were hanging out there, Lin Yu didn't want to cause trouble, so he came back quickly after buying something, and then stayed in front of the computer while eating hamburgers while watching the rest of the movies he watched yesterday.
After several days of content and movies, Lin Yu's thinking has been greatly broadened.
"The content is homogeneous." Lin Yu couldn't help muttering, and solved a big problem in his script.
After watching the movies these days, Lin Yu has always found it ugly, why is it ugly?
Just think about it a little, all kinds of vulgarity unfold, and you can't see any surprises.
Take off your pants from the opening and know exactly what you're going to fart.
At the beginning of the school, the pen fairy, as soon as I guessed, I knew that these people were going to die, and then died.
Yin and Yang Town, a guess knows that to shoot the weirdness of this town, a group of people who want to die, and finally died in it after a lot of weirdness, unbelief in evil, horror, and terror.
The audience doesn't see any surprises!!
This kind of vulgar movie, how can the audience give you good reviews?
This can be regarded as a director's inertial thinking, everyone shoots like this, at least they can make some money by shooting like this, but whoever is in trouble will die even worse.
In this context, we dare not innovate, but is the problem really like this?
I'm afraid not at all.
The logic inherent in horror movies is the same, but the story needs to be reinvented.
"I know what's wrong!!"
Lin Yu slammed his fist on the table, and the confusion of these days was like seeing the clouds and fog.
"No wonder I always felt wrong, it turned out that the problem was here!!"
The forest fish murmured.
For example, why is it successful? It's not just the style of pseudo-documentary, the shooting method of handheld DV cameras, but this kind of shooting method, extremely daily unfolding, you can't guess what the subsequent unfolding will be like.
With the progression of surprises, you know that the horror is progressing, but you can't help but continue to watch.
This "new" story is one of its cores!
A home, the horror that happened.
This is also the innovation of the ghost!
It's not just a handheld DV player.
And the reason why the ghost series after that was rotten was that after the filming reached more than 3 films, "horror at home", the innovation of this story rotten.
made the same mistake as other horror movies, that is, as soon as you pout your ass, the audience will know what you are going to do.
Can this not rot?
It's not just that the horror routine is tired of being watched by the audience.
Lin Yu couldn't help but be shocked, he fell into the creator's circle!
It is clear that the works created by oneself and are popular are such obvious things in the eyes of the audience.
But for the creators themselves, it is a blind eye!
Another essence and innovation of the ghost is a horror story created based on "home"!
So, what about cemetery encounters?
It seems that the number of people has been expanded, the location has been expanded, and the handheld DV shooting method has been maintained, and the style of pseudo-documentary has been maintained, but the story has not gone from small to big.
Instead, it has gone from a novelty to another vulgarity!!
A group of people, go to a place with terrible rumors to go on an adventure, and in the end they will not die if they do not die.
The whole army was wiped out there.
This broken story, isn't it a bad street of rotten streets??
That's it, you still want to sell for money and deceive the audience??
Sitting on the stool, Lin Yu's back broke out in a cold sweat.
"I've long been aware that although expanding the scene from small to large is not necessarily a reinforcement, but when I look at others, I can see it at a glance, but when it comes to myself, I am still making the same disease!"
After taking a deep breath, Lin Yu couldn't help but lower his head, first turned on the lamp in his hand, and then carefully examined the script in his hand.
So how should this script be modified? ?
"Fortunately, fortunately, ......, I didn't simply brush this question aside, but asked the bottom of it, otherwise this movie would have to be Waterloo!"
Even if you succeed a few times, you must not be careless!
In other words, this whole story is going to be overturned!!
You can't ask for the slightest thing.
And, come up with a new, new way to play.
Thinking of this level, I am afraid that if you change someone, you will have to give up the ...... directly, isn't it, the previous ones have been completely denied, and you have to transcend the entire market, and make a new thing that can't be too deviant.
What do you want to do if you don't give up? If you want that kind of story, do I want to waste this energy?
"I'm stupid, I'm stupid, who am I......, I'm an online author."
"Who better to make up a story than me? Didn't I write the last train on line 13? ”
"Why should I care about how people in the film industry write scripts, can't I copy the bridges in it??"
The idea has reached this level, and the forest fish has completely cleared the clouds!
Psychiatric hospital, lobolobus white matter surgery.
The horror of the bridge!
Combined, a great, brand-new, more profound and profound new script has been gradually generated in Lin Yu's mind!
The forest fish let out a long breath, and raised his head with red eyes, and the whole night was already dark, leaving only the room to be quiet, filled with the light of a lamp.
After staying up all night, Lin Yu was only left with infinite inspiration.
"That's creation!"
Lin Yu tore off the notebook in his hand and began to write from a new page, "Graveyard Encounter. New! ”
As soon as the strong handwriting came out, Lin Yu took a deep breath and began to write in the blank space, and gradually, Lin Yu already felt as if he was no longer in this motel.
A new, pitch-black world enveloped the forest fish.
……
Bowdoin College, a group of international students from the East, want to use the Oriental 'psychic' technology to investigate the "souls" that exist in this world, and investigate whether there are really ghosts after death.
They called the show "Graveyard Encounters" and met ghosts in the cemetery.
In the first six episodes, the show caused a great sensation, and many people in Maine were very curious about this show with oriental elements to explore ghosts.
These students at Bowdoin College even investigated ghosts to a very professional set, and various equipment, ultra-low frequency recorders, were used to record whether there were any ghost sounds.
The temperature detector ensures that the ghost appears and the temperature drops suddenly, it can be caught as soon as possible.
Magnetic field recorder.
They even professionally divide the phenomenon of ghosts into two types: "remnants" and "consciousness"
Remnants refer to the fact that the voices of the past have been echoing and cannot be departed, which is used to explain the strange movements that appear inexplicably in some haunted houses.
The other type of "consciousness haunting" refers to the fact that ghosts really exist, and exist in a ghostly way, which can interfere with the neighborhood.
