Although I always feel that old Barry is a bit exaggerated, I have to say that with his help, their efficiency has improved a lot. The original plan to complete the hot shooting of several main characters in the town in two days was shortened to one day. Really working as a lead actor in the theatre, her daughter is also very well behaved and quite cooperative - they need her to cover her mother's mouth when she mentions witches.
Then the Shu Lun family introduced by Barry, after Angela and the others reported the old man's name, they also readily helped, so the main scenes of the town were basically filmed. Not a small improvement, so all the shots in the hotel were completed in one fell swoop, which reassured Angela, considering that the original "Blair Witch" was shot in 6 or 7 days, the time they needed might be Shorter.
The next day, after walking around the town for two times and shooting some street scenes at Angela's request, the group went to the cemetery outside the town to shoot. After that, they discovered a problem.
"The map is too general, and we can't be sure where there are suitable places for us to shoot." Louis turned over the map and said that they had bought several maps of the nearby mountains, but they couldn't tell anything from the map.
"Well, we think we should ask old Barry before we come." Angela shook her head.
"Then do you want to go back and ask?" Louis asked again.
"No, it takes too much time. Let's see if there are public camping cabins on the map. As long as there are cabins, there is a way."
"I'm sorry, I'd like to say that the map doesn't specifically indicate where there are log cabins, as well as communal log cabins."
The girl frowned, she raised her head, glanced at the highway, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I think we can ask someone else!" Louis followed her line of sight, just on the other side of the highway. A police car came over.
Letting the others stay where they were, the two of them both stepped forward and waved to stop the Highway Patrol's car. There are two cops in the car, one old and one young like in most movies.
"Is there anything I can do? Miss?" The young policeman in the car lowered the window and asked with a smile.
"Hello, sir, we're from the high school film club, and we're here to shoot our homemade movies. Now we need a camping cabin, the kind that's public. But it's not marked on the map, I think you might know." Angela was lying on the window said with a smile.
"Are you the kids who made movies that old Barry mentioned?" the old policeman suddenly interjected.
"Yes, it's us. It seems that Mr. Barry spreads the news no worse than women." The girl shrugged.
The old policeman laughed: "Okay, I know a place, go down the 5th highway, go 300 feet after the third corner, get off there and walk east for 5 minutes, you can I saw a small river. There is a communal wooden house not far from the river, I think you can use it."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Police!"
"It's nothing, we should do it." It was the young policeman who answered. He thought for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Miss. Have we met there?"
"wnat?"
"No no no, I mean you look a lot like that movie star, that..."
"Angela Mason!"
"Yes, yes, that's right, Angela Mason! That's her!"
"Thank you for your compliment, in fact my friends often say the same thing about me," Angela said with a smile, with no other expression at all, "but she makes movies, and I make movies, and I can Not as well known as she is."
"Maybe I'll see you make it in the future, and the movie she's acting in is not necessarily so." The other side complimented.
"Maybe, well, thank you for the news, we'll go over there." The girl greeted Louis and walked towards the car.
"Be careful, children, we are patrolling this road, and you can inform us if there is anything." The old policeman still stuck his head out to say hello.
"Okay, thank you." Angela waved to them. It wasn't until after walking away that Louis was relieved: "To be honest, I thought you wanted to admit it directly."
"Don't be joking, Louis, I'm not a fool, and I really want to admit what I'm doing with contact lenses." The girl said with a smile and spread her hands.
"Okay, okay, but it does make a big difference when you wear black contact lenses."
"No longer dazzling?"
"No, it's very quiet, like... a stream in a mountain stream."
"Well, thank you for your compliment, Louis, at least it's much better than that cop just now!"
According to the instructions of the police, everyone in the film club quickly found a small wooden house on the edge of the forest. This wooden small house is about tens of square feet. The facilities inside are not very good, but it is already very good. Most of the cabins in the mountainous area are privately owned and used for family camping in summer. Because they are their own property, they have paid the government fees for their use, so they are naturally well maintained. And a small part belongs to the state government. If it is a famous scenic spot, there will be no problem, but it is normal for a small place like Wilderlin to lack maintenance, and bureaucracy is everywhere.
Of course, for Angela and the others, it is enough, at least the house is not a problem for them, and there is a river about 10 feet wide not far from here, and some larger rocks on the riverbed meet their shooting requirements. .
"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, this is our shooting location these days," Angela called everyone together again after everyone put down their luggage, "I don't want to say more, in short, don't run too much. Far away, don't act alone, I can't guarantee whether there is really a witch named Blair here, we'd better come back safely as well.
"Got it, Madam Producer!" Everyone responded jokingly, Jim being the loudest and whistling.
Angela pretended not to see it, and after thinking about it, she added: "Also, turn off your pagers, I think you should all tell your family where you are going, I don't want to shoot at the right time. All efforts were lost because the pager rang!"
Likewise, the girl instructed her two bodyguards, Pu Guanshui and Bucket, to turn off their phones. In short, I was determined to close the filming of "Blair Witch" before going out! With the producer taking the lead, the others naturally turned off their pagers, and they couldn't call back after receiving the news anyway.
The next shooting is relatively simple compared to the shooting in the town, because the camera is hung on the three actors, the lens shakes a lot, and the requirements for acting skills are not so high. More attention is paid to the dialogue, and the language and tone must match the identity and mood of the lost student.
I stayed here for two days, basically completed most of the shooting, everyone was in a good mood, the only thing that was a little tired was the guys who were assigned to do art when they were free - those mysterious human figures that needed to be hung on the branches Decoration, stones piled up around the tent, etc. In the end, even two bodyguards joined in to help make the set, which made them quite depressed.
After that, Angela decided to change places, and the surrounding scenery had been photographed, of course, for safety reasons. They moved close to the road, and didn't go deeper into the woods, don't worry about getting lost or anything, the only thing that is a little unaccustomed is that this time I really have to set up a tent in the wild to sleep - I used to rest in a wooden house - this is for girls It was the first time that she had no experience in setting up a tent to sleep in a sleeping bag in the wild in her past or present life. Fortunately, she had always slept well, and she did not suffer from lack of energy.
The filming progress was a little slow. On the second night after leaving the cabin and starting the camping, Angela did the math and only shot two-thirds of what was in the cabin.
It's nothing, just slow down, the girl said to herself, anyway, according to this progress, you can go back tomorrow night at the latest, and just stay in the wild for one night tonight. She opened the tent and walked out. She came to the raised fire and handed the cans to Bella and the others who were busy on the shelf. Then looked at it from the side - no way, for her, the best cooking is just salad, but now, this place seems to have nothing for her to play.
"Angie, how about calling Jim and the others? It's time to eat." Carol said to the girl as she scooped food from the jars on the shelf onto the plate.
"Okay, no problem." Angela, who was already bored, immediately stood up and looked around. There are four tents in total, which one is theirs
"The one on the left in front of you." Louis, who was helping the food, reminded behind her.
"OK, thanks."
"However, Angie..." Louis' voice came over again, with helplessness, the girl turned to look at him, the other party didn't speak again, but told her the situation with gestures.
Angela couldn't help frowning slightly, and then she sighed: "Okay, I see."
She shook her head, came to the tent, opened the tent and took a look. Sure enough, there was smoke inside, filled with a strong sour and pungent smell. Jim and Morris were sitting back to back on the ground. The front end of the long strip of cigarette paper wrapped brightly and dimly, and the two guys took a sip from time to time, and then raised their heads and smiled nervously.
"Hey, I said, can't you bear it for just a few days?" Angela asked, pinching her nose.
"What?" Jim raised his head dizzily and looked at the girl with a smirk, "Angela? Want a bite?"
"Thank you, no!" The girl glared at him angrily, "Leave the things in your hands and come out, it's time to eat."
"Um... ok, right now..." He seemed a little sober, and pointed to the remaining spot in his hand, "the last bite of this... coming soon."
Angela shook her head and withdrew. Although smoking marijuana and growing marijuana are illegal, these are only on paper. As long as no one calls the police or complains, you can smoke at will, so in the United States, high school students Smoking marijuana is a common thing, and she's used to it.
From the point of view of her previous life, this kind of thing should be reported to the teacher or the other parent anyway, but if she does, and she is shaken out again, she will definitely be isolated because this is the United States, There is an unwritten rule among students: a whistleblower must be a villain—no matter what the whistleblower is! Al's award-winning film "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" exemplifies this very well.
So Angela can only keep a distance from them smoking marijuana. She definitely doesn't smoke it herself, and she is still a public figure. If a tabloid takes a picture of them together while smoking marijuana, even if she doesn't smoke it, she will still give birth. Many incidents to come. Before coming here to make a movie, the girl told them that they were not allowed to smoke before going home, but they didn't expect it to start again after only five days!
Well, it's in the wild anyway, you two better wipe me out after you smoke it! The girl can only think so.
The dinner was quite lively, and everyone around the fire was talking and laughing, especially the two guys who had just been charged, the loudest. While talking, I don't know who was discussing the movie that was being filmed, and then the topic gradually led to the witch.
"I heard from my grandmother that there are actually quite a few legends about witches in some parts of the West Coast, some funny and some terrifying." Felix held his fork and waved it with his fat fingers to accentuate his tone. .
"Really? Indian witch?" Rex interjected with a smile.
"Should Indian wizards be called shamans?" Jim asked jokingly, as if his stamina had not yet passed.
"Shouldn't she be like Blair in the script, who likes to let the child stand facing the wall and save it for the last kill? Or pile rocks around your tent in the middle of the night while you sleep?" Carol also said plugged in.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang: "To be honest, I think there seemed to be some noise around me last night."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the speaker, Bella. Bella was startled by their neat gazes, she couldn't help shrinking her neck, and after a while, she said with an apologetic smile: "Okay, I'm just... just kidding. .real!"
"Damn, Bella, how can you make such a joke." Carol pretended to be angry and beat her a few times, so Bella had to hide and beg for mercy: "I was wrong, I apologize, I don't It's a joke."
Looking at the two people who were fighting, everyone shook their heads in unison, and they talked about each other again, and the fire became noisy again. Angela bit her fork and looked at Bella and Carol with interest. Since Bella spoke, she hadn't taken it seriously, she didn't think there would be any witches or the like.
However, just when she was thinking about what would happen if she and Jessica or Natalie went camping in the wild someday, Pu Guanshui suddenly sat beside her.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked, looking at him.
"Someone did come here last night." Pu Guanshui's words were no less than a thunderbolt, which scared Angela to death. She turned her head sharply, and the other party's expression was very serious. There are some unfathomable depths in the bright and dark flames.
Angela has never seen him like this, and the giggling that usually hangs on his face is completely gone. You must know that even when he helped make props yesterday, he would often say a few interesting words.
"You can't hear it wrong, Ryan?" the girl asked cautiously, "or a small animal or something?"
"It's a human!" His voice was not loud, but he was decisive, "I started practicing martial arts at the age of 3, and I was able to live alone in the forest for the whole winter at the age of 7. At the age of 11, I helped guard the hall, and at the age of 17, I joined the hiring process. The army has performed more than 70 missions around the world in 4 years, all of which are in the wild, so you can't tell the difference!"
"Tangkou? A mercenary?" Angela wanted to laugh. "Are you kidding? Or are you trying to say that you killed someone?"
But the other party had a calm face without any superfluous expressions. Although he couldn't feel the murderousness in the legend, it also made the girl's scalp tingle. She suddenly realized that Pu Guanshui might be telling the truth, and he had no reason to lie to her. And after spending so much time together, he can also do his best to do his job well, don't you think...
"Okay, who do you think it will be? What does he want to do?" Angela's tone brought a touch of tension. The perverted family in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the mutants in "Dismemberment" are all at this moment. Drilled out, making her shiver a few times.
"I don't know yet. After living in the city for a long time, my body's sensitivity has dropped a lot. After I noticed it last night, before I could act, the voice was gone." Pu Guanshui said calmly.
"That… "
"I'm telling you, I want you to be mentally prepared, but don't tell anyone for now, I'll be watching all night tonight. If he comes again I'll catch him, Buckett will switch tents with Duke later, and he'll By your side, in short, don't panic, don't worry, if there's no movement tonight, then it's better to go back to town as soon as possible tomorrow, understand?" The other party arranged a meeting without waiting for her to speak. Angela didn't know what to do, so she nodded in agreement.
Because of Pu Guanshui's remarks, the girl lost interest in talking, so she sat by the fire all the time, and then went into the tent early and got into the sleeping bag to sleep. No matter what, she couldn't fall asleep. The conversation outside gradually became quieter, until Carol and Bella came in and slept in turn, and then everything was quiet. She kept her eyes wide open and couldn't sleep at the top of the tent.
Well, it's just like this until dawn, and Ryan's guy is staying outside anyway. The girl can only think like this, and then some troublesome things like to come to the door at this time, she suddenly finds that she wants convenience!
damn it! how so! Angela is shy and angry. As a woman, the most embarrassing thing in the wild is convenience. Every time it is convenient, she always feels that she is completely exposed to the eyes of the public, which makes her very uncomfortable. when.
Don't think about it, just endure it and let it go. Although the girl said this to herself in her heart, the more she endured this situation, the more she couldn't bear it, and in just a few minutes she had already started to twist and turn in her sleeping bag.
What should we do? Could it be that if you get up and call Ryan or Buckett at your convenience? Heck! This is too bad! And I don't know who the guy who secretly peeked at the camp... Angela bit the edge of the sleeping bag and struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't help crawling out, and then groped out of the tent, wanting to act on a whim.
It was breezy outside the tent, and the weak flames swayed as if it would go out at any time. Angela couldn't help clenching her arms. She wanted to call Ryan, but she couldn't open her mouth.
I'm so crazy, how could I think of coming out at this time! The girl in a dilemma thought distressedly, she doesn't know what to do now. Just then, something seemed to move in the darkness on the other side of the fire.
Angela was startled, and when she looked carefully, there was indeed something moving slowly in the darkness. She couldn't help but screamed, followed by a sudden screeching sound in the darkness. As if something got out and was about to escape into the woods. At this moment, a black lightning bolt stabbed straight down from a nearby tree, so fast that people almost thought their eyes were dizzy, only to hear two bumps, a person screamed and flew into the air, and fell on the ground. Beside the fire, at the same time a figure flashed, Pu Guanshui had already twisted the man's arm with his backhand, then pulled out a rope, and quickly tied the opponent's thumb in a knot, causing the guy to cry out in pain, "Excuse me. Come on! Forgive me!"
Angela, who was still in shock, could see the other side clearly, but she couldn't tell her age, her clothes were slightly old, her beard was shaggy, and she looked like a homeless person. Buckt, who had been guarding in the tent at this time, had already rushed out to guard the In front of her, and soon, everyone woke up, and then they all got out.
Needless to say, I quickly packed up and sent this guy to the police station in the town. After tossing all night, I realized that this guy named Hawke was a habitual thief. He had already noticed the group of film clubs who came to town. Especially when he learned that they were going to shoot in the forest, and it was a story about witches. He was very familiar with this mountainous area, so he wanted to take advantage of the terrain to get something, but he didn't expect to be planted in the end.
It's a pity that there is no criminal facts, so he can't be prosecuted, and he will be locked up for dozens of hours at most, but Angela and the others have no other ideas. To be honest, it's already thankful that it's like this. If it wasn't for Jim and Morris, they handled it fairly well, saying Maybe they will be locked up for a period of time, and they will make a record to notify the parents or something. Since there is no loss, it is better to leave quickly.
After such a night, everyone lost their energy, and the previous shots were almost finished. Everyone went back to Old Barry's hotel to sleep and didn't get up until the afternoon.
Angela knew that this happened, and she had to tell her family. After all, she was only 15 years old, so when she woke up, she asked Puguanshui for a phone and was about to open the house, but the phone rang as soon as she turned it on. , Surprised the girl, did the police station notify the parents so quickly
But when she pressed the answer, it was Sparrow's voice that came out: "God bless, you finally answered the phone! I've been on the phone every day for the past few days, but I was once told to turn off the phone, hell, I'm going crazy."
"Did something happen, Jack?" Angela asked carefully, is there something bad
"A lot of media want to interview you, Angie, especially Fortune, they want to do an interview with you and invite you to be on the cover?"
"Fortune? When is Fortune going to interview me?"
"You didn't watch the news? I think so too, well, I'm honored to be the first to inform you that your Pixar stock is worth 400 million, my youngest billionaire lady!"
