"Why?" When Angela said her request, the people around her all looked surprised, and the people at the other table also turned their heads to look here.
"God, I really doubt if you read the script seriously!" Angela glared at them angrily, "I wrote it very clearly in the script, this story should take place in Maryland, I don't want it because someone is there Find something out of the West Coast on camera and tear down the whole movie!"
"But why Maryland? There are many horror legends in the west." The plump Felix interjected.
"Really? What? Texas TV series Massacre? Seems like it just came out last year.
Episode 4! "The girl stared at each other, Felix hurriedly raised his hand and stopped gnawing.
"Don't ask me to give you a history lesson, gentlemen, everyone knows that the western states have been in the United States for less than 200 years, and Maryland, as the first thirteen independent colonies, has a relatively long history, so Those rumors about witches circulating are more reasonable." Angela tapped the table lightly, "Details! Gentlemen, you must remember that details determine success or failure!"
Everyone was silent. After a while, Jim whispered in Louis' ear: "It seems that Angie has moved closer to the devil producer, and our safety is left to you, Mr. Director!"
Louis gave him a funny look, then stood up: "Okay, Chrissy, I think I've got it, don't worry, Morris will take care of it, right?" The last sentence was for Morris .
"Oh, of course, I'll be careful, I promise!" Morris was stunned for a moment, then replied forcefully.
After breakfast, the group led Rex to find the owner of the hotel. The other party was Barry Gate. He was a very interesting old man with gray hair and glasses. He was always smiling and seemed amiable.
"So, you are making a movie, and you need a few locals to play roles in it?" After learning of everyone's intentions, Barry showed a surprised look like an old urchin.
"To be exact, it's a homemade movie. We are just movie lovers, and what we make will only be circulated in a small area." Louis explained with gestures, he could see what the other party wanted to do.
But Barry didn't give up because of this. He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's talk about what kind of roles you need. Old Barry knows a lot of people, and there will be what you need."
Louis frowned slightly, but after taking a closer look at the other party. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and after whispering a few words with Angela, he turned around again: "That's it, we are planning to shoot a legend about a witch in the forest, and we need to interview several local people in the form of interviews. , if we can, we need a crazy female character, a housewife—preferably with children—and an old man with a good knowledge of local history.”
Having said this, he suddenly laughed: "But I think we have found the last role player!"
"You mean me?" Old Barry blinked. After getting an affirmative answer, he immediately clenched his fists like a child and shouted YES. Immediately following him, he adjusted his collar again, making a serious look and owed his body: "I'm happy to serve you."
When Barry changed clothes, dressed up a little, and reappeared in front of everyone with glasses and a cowboy hat. Angela couldn't help but shouted hello, which was in line with the image in her memory - she had to do this, like a machine, as much as possible to control the characters and shooting scenes of the movie in the situation she knew. Simply put, it is a complete copy of the original version.
If it's other productions that she can't control, she naturally won't take care of it, but since she's completely obeying her own instructions now, she naturally has to follow her mind. In the end, she's just a little unconfident. Otherwise, the script of "Little Ghosts and Thief" has been completed early, but it is still lying in the drawer, and occasionally it is taken out and revised twice.
Well, no matter how hard she tried to copy the original Blair Witch, there were at least two things she couldn't control: first, she couldn't remember every scene and every line, no matter what; second, Different actors have different effects!
Of course, the girl was not discouraged. After all, she knew what to do, and she had learned a lot while acting on the set for so many years. Besides, Louis and the others were also capable, otherwise the things they produced would not be available. Award, but they are all documentaries, and "Blair Witch" is just a feature film shot in a documentary style. When I first came into contact with it, some lacked relevant experience.
Like the shot for old Barry right now, this piece was shot right outside the hotel, and it's always underwhelming at first, like the innkeeper's gig. Although old Barry claimed to have played roles in the town theatre as a young man, his performances were so lame that several times he was completely reciting his lines.
Or maybe the shot always gives a feeling of not being smooth - this is what Angela said - why it is not smooth, she can't tell, anyway, it feels based on the shot that she remembers in her head. Of course, this has nothing to do with the photographer. When Barry was telling the history of Blair, Bella and Duke should each stand in front of him with a camera to shoot for him, but their skills are really good. Oops.
However, after repeated discussions between Louis and Rex, and after several attempts, Morris was decisively changed to shoot. Anyway, Bella and Duke were not in the camera at this time, and then moved from near the hotel door to In a shady corner of the street, it was much better now.
We prepared a total of two cameras, one old-fashioned belonging to the film company, shot on film, with black and white effect; the other was bought newly by Angela, and it was still a Sony videotape camera.
They then used an old-fashioned camera to shoot first, because it was a black and white picture, and some were in the shade, and the overall effect was a bit blurry. In addition, Barry was in a rare condition, so that the shooting effect was good. Although this is good only in relative terms. But since Louis said it himself, it still boosted everyone's morale. Then, he took this opportunity to have a good chat with Barry, and finally when Rex helped use another camera to shoot together , grab Jim over and let him chat with the old man outside the camera, slowly substituting the topic into the witch.
I have to say that this idea is very good, it is easy to mobilize the old man's emotions, and the shooting is completed unconsciously, and the effect is quite good.
Angela wanted to stop halfway through several times, but she endured it when she finally said it. Although she had experience directing MTV once, this was neither MTV shooting, nor regular film shooting, and there was no one. There are a lot of assistants at their own pace, so I can only trust them. Fortunately, they did not live up to her trust. In the end, this shooting was indeed much better than the previous one, and it was quite natural and smooth.
"I said that my acting skills are top-notch. You must know that when I performed in the theater in the town, many girls cheered for me!" Barry laughed and said after the filming. The group of people who finished filming was in a good mood. Naturally, he didn't say anything, but Louis still shouldered the responsibility of the director and communicated with the old man with a smile: "We are very grateful for your help, Barry, but if you are willing to continue to help, we will thank you even more."
"Yes, yes, I know, I'm not old and confused," the old man laughed, and after thinking about it, he said: "I've read a few pages of your script, and I should find a relatively run-down family. Okay, so you can follow this road and look south to the end and turn right, turn left after three blocks, and two blocks and you'll see the house you need. That's the Shulen family, though The place is a bit poor, but the people are nice and I believe they will be willing to help."
"Okay, thank you for the news, we'll go right now." Louis nodded. Just say hello to everyone and get ready to drive to the place Barry said. But the old man suddenly stopped them again: "Hey, wait, I remember you seem to need an image of a housewife, right?"
"Yes, do you have any suggestions?" Louis asked quickly.
"Of course, see that over there?" Old Barry pointed across the street, where a slightly wealthy woman was walking down the street with her 4-year-old child in her arms.
"Her name is Kelly, and she has also acted in the theater in the town. I believe it meets your requirements." The old man explained, and then greeted him: "Hey, Kelly, can you come over? "
Louis, who wanted to ask a few more questions, could only smile bitterly. The other party's statement that he had acted in the theater was not very reliable. He even said that he had acted in the theater. What happened
"Hehe, it's rare, Will the old squirrel of Wilderen call me for something?" The woman came over cheerfully, and before she was in front of her, she screamed, and Barry's old face was a rare red: "Okay, Bread Kai Li, I have something very important to look for you!"
He said and pointed to the people around him: "See, these young people are movie lovers, they plan to shoot a very interesting movie here and need the help of the local people, so I recommend you, you should thank you I'm the!"
"Really? I never knew you would have such a warmheartedness," Kelly said with a chuckle, then turned to Louis and the others, "You know, boys and girls, this person in front of you is called Will Delin's old squirrel guy, he's not as simple as you think..."
"Damn it, Bread Kelly, is that an old account?!" Old Man Barry couldn't help interrupting her. "They need help now, that's the point."
"At least I won't be able to hide the origin of my nickname!" Kelly shrugged, but finally stopped the conversation, hugged her child with one hand, and shook hands with everyone enthusiastically in turn: " Welcome to Weldrin, the environment here is very good, what can I do for you?"
"That's it, ma'am," Louis took the lead after a dry cough, "we need to..."
