In the morning, outside the crew.
"Donor!" A monk suddenly jumped up in front of Director Chen, "The poor monk is watching the sky at night. Seeing that your crew is full of blood, there must be monsters at work. You only need 800 consecration fees..."
"Go and play while you play." A Taoist priest pushed him away, "Yiguang Tianxiang is the way of our Taoist school, what does it have to do with you as a monk, this gentleman, the old Taoist sees that your hall is black, and there is a faint blood light disaster... "
Director Chen felt inexplicable. After entering the crew, he dragged Li Shanshui and complained: "Where did this group of consecrated demon hunters come from? My crew was obviously filming "Juliet". "Like... eh? What are you looking at?"
Li Shanshui was very bored and was watching a video with his laptop. The video was titled "Shocked! The creepy moment, I was stunned for one minute and thirty seconds! ", Director Chen watched the video with him, and then looked at each other.
"Good water." Director Chen coughed, "Invite someone to come in and consecrate the light."
Li Shanshui was stunned: "Director Chen, do you really believe it?"
"I believe it!" Director Chen sneered, "But it doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is that others believe it, and the audience believes it."
"You mean..." Li Shanshui seemed to understand.
"Blair Witch." Director Chen spit out a word, "pseudo-documentary horror movie."
"Blair Witch", a horror movie miracle with an investment of less than 60,000, a new actor, a film length of less than 82 minutes, and a final box office of 250 million. In terms of picture quality, what is the picture quality of a film made with DV throughout the whole process, in terms of content, there is nothing surprising about the simplicity of the plot, and in terms of marketing methods... It's a miracle! It has been continuously studied and imitated by later generations and tried to surpass it.
First, there were posts, videos, pictures on the Internet, telling people one thing - there was a murderous witch living in Maryland, Blair.
No one believed it at first, and there was not much discussion, but soon newspapers and magazines began to publish a missing person notice, saying that three college students went to Maryland to find Blair, but they disappeared.
People don't believe online posts, but they believe in newspapers. Soon, Blair became the focus of discussion among many people, especially young students. When the discussion reached a certain level, a message appeared, saying that the relics of three missing college students Found it, it was a DV that filmed what happened when they were looking for Blair all the way, and now a film and television company got the copyright from the family of the deceased and edited the film for release.
Many people believe it to be true, but in fact it is false.
"Whether this video is real or not, we can treat it as real." Director Chen laughed, "We can imitate Blair the Witch and declare to the public... Our "After Juliet" is based on a Based on a true story."
So "After Juliet", which was supposed to be a pure love film, went through many twists and turns, and finally became...
"After Juliet Dies, a love thriller based on a true story. The story takes place in 1970. An old man was sentenced to death for murder. In court, he told everyone that he killed that man. Xiaobailian, because the other party eloped with his daughter, but her daughter died in a car accident on the way. Fearing retribution, Xiaobailian found a woman with the same voice as his daughter, called him every once in a while, pretending to be her daughter Not dead..."
On the sofa, Ning Ning put down the newspaper in his hand and asked the two in front of him, "What does Director Chen want?"
Chen Shuanghe slashed the apple without raising his head: "Further the heat, make the headlines."
"Haha, this matter is only good for you, not bad." Shi Zhongtang rubbed his head and was angrily thrown away, "In the future, if the crew hurts people again, it will only increase your popularity, and will not It has a negative effect on you."
As Shi Zhongtang said.
After that, there were several wounding incidents in the crew, and the reaction from the outside world was... So excited!
Another accident happened, so excited! Another video has been lost online, so excited!
Many people began to take the enthusiasm of chasing the series, chasing the online "spiritual video" about Juliet's crew, and those who couldn't wait even began to wander around the crew, looking at every actor and staff member in the crew with anticipation. , I wish they had an accident immediately.
At the same time, several newspapers and magazines also began to publish related news. One of the newspapers even invited one of the parties. The woman claimed that she was the prototype of the heroine of the movie, and the little white face was looking for her to pretend to be the daughter of the old man.
Even the third male who left the crew because of his face injury also jumped out to get hot, and said in an interview: "Now that I think about it carefully, the reason why I was injured was because I stood too close to Chen Shuanghe at that time, and The height and size are similar to him... So when the power went out, the murderer found the wrong person."
Gradually, no one believed that Chen Shuanghe was the murderer.
Instead, they believed in something else.
"Now the audience has high expectations for the film, and according to the feedback just received..." Director Chen glanced at Chen Shuanghe, "70% of the audience think that you may die during the filming of this film. "
Chen Shuanghe's face was extremely stinky, is there a father who cursed his son like this
"In order to meet the needs of the audience." Director Chen said with a smile, "I decided to give a stage show on the day the film was officially released."
Everyone looked at each other, Ning Ning looked at him: "A stage scene? Is there enough time?"
"I don't want you to perform a complete stage play, a gimmick, mainly a gimmick." Director Chen asked people to send the script down.
When Ning Ning received the script, it was indeed a gimmick.
This stage play is equivalent to adding a prequel to the movie, in a court, an old man who was guilty of homicide was escorted by two policemen to the dock.
A pale-faced man stood on the plaintiff's box opposite. He was not a human being, but a ghost. He charged with tears, "You murderer!"
"Yes, I am a murderer." The old man looked at him angrily, "To avenge my dead daughter!"
The two accused each other, resented each other, and finally rushed out of the dock and the plaintiff's box, towards each other.
Their anger and hatred pulled open the red curtain covering the screen, and the film officially opened.
"Of course it's impossible for every movie theater to do this. I will arrange for you to perform this stage play at a designated movie theater during the premiere. Of course, if the response is good, there may be additional shows later." Director Chen said Chen Shuanghe and Qu Yan laughed.
This stage play is almost the opponent play of the two of them. Even if the other people are the heroine Ning Ning, they just walk through the stage in the image of ghosts.
"The stage play is mainly performed by Chen Shuanghe and Qu Yan." Director Chen looked at Ning Ning, "As for you, I have other arrangements."
Director Chen quickly found the cinema, and even asked someone to set it up in advance. After Ning Ning passed by, he felt a chill behind his back just by looking at it.
"How is it?" Director Chen asked her proudly, "Is it quaint and smells like a big theater in the Republic of China?"
"Yes." Ning Ning smiled reluctantly.
She had never seen the grand theater in the Republic of China. She only saw the red curtains hanging on both sides of the screen, and the carved wooden chairs placed in front of the screen. Except for people without masks, other places It's like a movie theater of life.
For a moment, Ning Ning thought that he had accidentally walked into the cinema of life in this era.
It's no accident that it's similar to this extent. Ning Ning stared at Director Chen and asked, "Director Chen, how did you think of decorating the movie theater like this?"
"Oh, that's not what I thought." Director Chen replied casually, then pointed to a few seats in front of him and said, "Here, here, and here, belong to the old man, the daughter, and the little white face."
Ning Ning was stunned for a while, and followed his fingers to see that there were three seats side by side, the others' chairs were natural wood color, only these three chairs were painted white, the color was so abrupt, like a mourning hall Burning white candle.
"You don't have many roles in the stage play. When the stage play is over, don't change your clothes or take off your makeup, just come down and sit here." Director Chen pointed to the place belonging to his daughter and smiled at Ning Ning, "Come on , try."
Ning Ning had to sit down.
"How do you feel?" Director Chen asked.
"Not much." Ning Ning shook his head, "I feel like a ghost."
"I just want you to be like a ghost." Director Chen said with a smile, "I want the audience around you to think that the old man, the daughter, and the ghost of the little white face have appeared, sit beside them, and watch a movie with them."
Ning Ning smiled at him with an ugly face, and asked the question just now: "Who gave you the idea, who set up the movie theater?"
"The idea is my own." Director Chen said, "The cinema... was designed by an acquaintance of mine."
Ning Ning was about to ask the acquaintance's name, when Director Chen suddenly answered the phone and went out. While he was going out, Shi Zhongtang walked in from the door, and when he saw the environment in front of him, he let out a wow.
"Who did it?" Shi Zhongtang smiled, "Is it Qu Yan's idea for Chen Dao?"
"Qu Yan has been to Life Cinema?" Ning Ning asked.
"I don't know that, I don't care about guests other than you." Shi Zhongtang shrugged, "Maybe Boss Qu told Director Chen through him?"
Ning Ning looked at him for a while, turned her face away, and whispered, "That's impossible..."
The stage play is called "The Trial".
The word trial will greatly stimulate Boss Qu, reminding him of the day when he and his daughter were tried and killed. Standing on such a stage, he will be more mad than ever, more irrational, and more hated for the party in the plaintiff's box.
At this time, Director Chen came back from outside, followed by Chen Shuanghe, Qu Yan and others.
Chen Shuanghe was stunned when he saw the environment in front of him. He walked over to Ning Ning and asked in a low voice, "...What's going on here?"
Ning Ning did not answer him, but looked behind him.
Chen Shuanghe waited for a moment, then slowly turned his head and looked behind him.
Qu Yan stood not far away, a black figure behind him, looked around in a trance, and then looked at them coldly.
That look made Ning Ning feel...
70% of the audience is not wrong, Chen Shuanghe may really die in this movie.
