Although Bo Shao called her name, it seemed that Li You didn't hear her.
Liuli asked suspiciously: "Who is Liyou? Do you know any of those people?"
Bo Shao nodded, then turned around and said to her, "Let's go. Anyway... she may not recognize me now."
For Bo Shao, finding the mystery behind the seven evil ghosts is the current priority, and at the same time discovering the secrets of the ominous space, there is really no time for reminiscing about the past.
"Aren't you going to say hello to her?" Liuli was very curious, but Bo Shao didn't even go to say hello to her. Could it be that he was worried about being noticed by reporters and causing unnecessary trouble
"No need... because, I used to..."
After finally getting rid of the heavy siege of the reporters, Chen Chu'an and his group finally left the airport smoothly, got into several black cars and left.
"It's really... I didn't expect that I would go out of my way to hide it, but let the reporters find it out," Chen Chu'an has been famous for a few years, but it's the first time to film in the mainland. He thought that the reporters in the mainland would not be as difficult as Hong Kong paparazzi. It is still menacing.
However, compared to Chen Chuan, Zeng Jiazhi who was sitting next to him was always absent-minded.
Zeng Jiazhi, who is 33 years old this year, her career in acting can be described as declining.
Two years ago, the box office of an urban romance movie she starred in was extremely dismal, not even as good as the few low-investment movies in the schedule, and the box office in the mainland was even worse, with negative reviews on the Internet.
After that, her career took a hit. Because of her age, her advantage is gradually waning compared with many emerging young actors.
Twelve years ago, when Zeng Jiazhi first debuted, she first made a big splash in the music scene, and then took over the filming of a Hong Kong action movie "The Eagle". audience, and became a queen-level actor in the Hong Kong music and film circles in just two years.
There is such a stark contrast between the glory of the past and the downfall of today.
After learning from the pain, Zeng Jiazhi decided to take a gamble.
She decided to shoot a transformational work in order to rise again.
A few years ago, "Death and Human Shape" was born, and its astonishing box office and the spooky movie craze it brought were quickly ignited, just like "Midnight Ring" in Japan in the last century. After the success of "Death and Human Form", many directors followed suit and shot many supernatural-themed movies. Among them, the more successful imitations include "Butterfly Change", "The Descendant", "Shadow Demon", "The Ring of Death", etc., and the most obvious imitation of "Death and Human Shape" is "Bottomless Well" by Hong Kong director Zhang Shenglei. .
Horror films have become pioneers in today's Asian film industry.
Zeng Jiazhi gambled on this.
Six months ago, Hong Kong director Zhang Shenglei decided to shoot a horror movie called "Hotel of the Dead". He first hired an artist under Yingjie Company without hesitation, that is, Chen Chuan, the former star of "Deadly Human Shape". When the news was announced on the film's official website, it aroused the frenzied anticipation of horror film fans in Hong Kong and mainland China. And Zhang Shenglei has kept the details of the film secret, including the plot, shooting process, specific investment, etc., which are unknown to the outside world. I just let the media down a bit on the cast, saying that a lot of shots will be shot in T City in the Mainland, and I will cooperate with several Mainland actors.
Zeng Jiazhi took the initiative to contact the director.
She decided to act in this horror film.
Moreover, she made an amazing decision.
In the past, she had always played the role of a gentle woman, but she actually decided to act in this film—a female ghost!
Zhang Shenglei was hesitant to use Zeng Jiazhi as the female ghost. He planned to release it during this year's Halloween, and invested a lot of money, and even invited a big name like Chen Chu'an. The role of female ghost is very important. Although Zeng Jiazhi did not find a suitable candidate before Zeng Jiazhi proposed to participate in the film, can Zeng Jiazhi, who has never acted in horror movies, be competent
But later, because I really couldn't find an actor suitable for this role, and I delayed the start for a day, the loss was naturally huge. After Zhang Shenglei considered it again and again, he finally decided to let Zeng Jiazhi take a set of makeup photos first, and then make a decision after seeing the effect.
And Bai Liyou, Zeng Jiazhi's special makeup artist, took over this task.
Later, the first poster was released on the film's official website, and it was also a photo of the female ghost played by Zeng Jiazhi.
As soon as the makeup photo came out, the attention of this movie reached an unprecedented climax!
Zhang Shenglei has great ambitions. He has already received news that besides him, the directors of "Butterfly Transformation" and "The Ring of Death" are also preparing their new horror films, which will also be released on Halloween. Compared with these two films, the box office of "Bottomless Well" has not been significantly surpassed. For this movie, he has great expectations for Zeng Jiazhi.
At present, the film crew and props crew of the film crew have arrived in T City, and settled in the Jiaping Hotel in T City, where the main plot of the film takes place. The crew booked the entire hotel to facilitate filming activities.
When Chen Chuan and Zeng Jiazhi arrived at the hotel, the actors were already there. And the special effects team will come tomorrow, basically composed of foreign personnel.
The official start of filming is scheduled for two weeks later.
"Miss Zeng, this is your room."
Zeng Jiazhi's room is very large, about several hundred square meters, which is considered a very good room in this hotel. And, she just lives alone. It can be seen that the crew really attaches great importance to her.
Zeng Jiazhi nodded to the crew and smiled, then said: "Okay, thank you, I'm tired after flying for such a long time, I want to take a rest first."
The other party understood, nodded, handed the room card to Zeng Jiazhi, explained the place for dinner, and left.
After closing the door, Zeng Jiazhi let out a long sigh of relief, and lay down on the sofa, only feeling that the sunlight outside the window was a bit dazzling.
She massaged her temples and took the script from her bag.
This is the twentieth time I have read the script.
When Zeng Jiazhi read the script for the first time, she fell deeply into the story described in the script. She tried her best to get rid of the gentle acting style of the past and play a female ghost.
In this movie, there are a total of seven female ghost scenes, and more than half of the scenes are very long.
She drew the curtains.
After reading the script, she began to create an atmosphere.
The content of the script is that a group of young men and women from Hong Kong live in the hotel, and the manager of the hotel warns them on the day they check in that once it exceeds midnight in the hotel, they must turn off the lights and keep as quiet as possible. It's a rule of the hotel. Otherwise, terrible things can happen.
Just like the cliché plots of many horror movies, taboos are bound to be broken by ignorant people.
And what followed was the horror feast carefully prepared by the director for the audience...
Zeng Jiazhi faced a mirror.
She began to stop thinking of herself as Zeng Jiazhi.
She is the female ghost of Jiaping Hotel.
She also turned off the light, and there was almost no light in the room at the moment.
However, she could still vaguely see her own face in the mirror.
She began to train her expressions.
She imagined her own face, bloodless, cold, and rigid. Eyes without pupils, lifeless. In the expression, there is no compassion, but full of resentment and hatred.
She gradually entered these cold feelings into her brain, and then her expression began to change according to her thoughts.
Originally, it was still a beautiful face that looked haggard, but now it was slightly distorted.
An indescribable coldness began to leak out.
Zeng Jiazhi recalled every scene in the script.
In the room at this moment, it is very quiet, very quiet.
Zeng Jiazhi slowly opened her mouth.
In the mouth, it is swarthy.
Her head began to tilt slightly, and her hair began to flick.
She gradually found the feeling.
From the opened mouth, a sound of unknown meaning gradually came out.
"Ah-ah-"
Zeng Jiazhi shook her head faster and faster.
Naturally, she let her long hair cover her face from time to time, and at the same time kept her hands on both sides of her body, not moving.
"No... no!"
She opened the curtains, then sat back on the sofa and picked up the script.
"It's not enough... This way, it's not enough at all!"
Zeng Jiazhi still seemed unable to grasp the feeling. She began to think: how to do it? What should I do to successfully play a classic female ghost
How to do
Zhang Shenglei was able to affirm himself because of the makeup that Li You helped her do. But if the acting skills are not good enough, this movie will not be successful. Zeng Jiazhi knew this.
If she wants to rely on this movie to make a comeback, she must continue to work hard.
This is very likely, it is her last chance...
