"Rachel and Zachary, this is the last set of shots in the movie. Are you ready?" Wang Yang looked at Rachel and Zachary and smiled softly, said: "After shooting this set of shots, just ended."
Because the curtains were so tight that no light could penetrate, the bedroom was dim. Rachel and Zachary both wore pajamas and nodded as Wang Yang said.
This is already the seventh day after the film started shooting. Wang Yang has also taken Joshua's new DV camera for four days. During these four days, they performed the filming of "Smart and Ghost Recording" every day, and the progress was also completed day by day. During the shooting, I continued to encounter many difficulties. Fortunately, there are solutions to the problems. They cannot stop Wang Yang from moving forward.
The filming work of the movie also came to the last part of the script. As long as the group of shots was taken, the filming work was done!
In the script, after moving to this new apartment, the little couple experienced various supernatural events, such as the heroine Meier ran to the bathroom in the middle of the night in a daze, while the heroine Kevin's DV machine photographed the bathroom mirror strange In the scene, Meier inside had a horrified expression; for example, they slept until midnight and suddenly heard strange footsteps in the corridor outside. They went out to track into the apartment's utility room, where there was no power supply and a broken TV. On the screen, there are figures and so on.
These spooky events made the little couple start to feel afraid. They bought something to deal with evil spirits, for example, the house was covered with salt everywhere. But there was no effect. At night, the spirituality continued, so afraid that Kevin wanted to move away, but Meier refused, and Kevin had to stay with her for another night.
What happened next is the end. At midnight, Meier, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly got up, then stared at Kevin at the bed for more than an hour, then walked out of the bedroom, and the DV machine in the bedroom shot it all; For a while, the scream of Mayer suddenly came from outside, and Kevin, who was asleep, was awakened. He rushed out of the room hurriedly, but immediately came his scream, weaker and weaker, until it was silent.
Then there was a sound of footsteps, from far to near, stepping on stepping, it seemed to be going into the bedroom, but suddenly stopped.
At this time, the final climax of the movie is coming. At all times before, the whole movie was playing psychological horror, without any shots, but relying on the creation of details will make the audience "frighten themselves", and the spirit is tight, and the depression in the heart has reached On the verge of collapse at any time. So now, is there any way to collapse the audience's spirit?
Is very simple and cliché, just scare them directly.
Because the DV lens has a strong first-person visual substitution, from Meier's rise to the stop of footsteps, the audience has always looked at the dim picture without moving at the same angle, the spirit is very depressed, and the concentration is highly concentrated . At this time, only a sudden appearance of a grimace on the screen, or a sharp and harsh ghost cry, they will be scared away!
This is a very primitive method, but it is absolutely effective. It's like a person doing things with concentration, you walk quietly behind him, and then suddenly yell at him, he will jump up in shock.
All day long today, Wang Yang was almost shooting this directly scary shot. After the footsteps stopped for a while, the actor Kevin was suddenly thrown into the bedroom, his body quickly hit the camera, and the DV machine was suddenly slanted.
There is a problem with this shot. How to let Zachary, who plays Kevin, "fly" into the bedroom? Zachary performed a few times in person, whether it was a frontal flick or a backward shot, the effect was not good, and Zakari was slightly injured.
Wang Yang has been thinking hard for a long time. If he solves it with the special effects in the later period, he must know that he does not have the technology to achieve the perfect integration with the picture. If he uses the method of hanging the wire rope, he will not have this experience in the first place, and the cost will increase greatly .
Finally, Rachel reminded Wang Yang to adopt the method of prop shooting. They bought a piece of cloth, sewn a curved figure-shaped doll according to Zakari's figure, filled the doll with a sponge, and then let the doll put on Zakari's clothes and became Zakari's. Avatar. Although the workmanship of the doll is rough, the light in the bedroom is dim and dark, and the shooting is not clear. The doll is enough to meet the shooting needs.
The cloth doll was thrown into the bedroom by Wang Yang and Zachary together, and then hit the DV machine hard. This simple lens changes because of the shape of the doll in the air, the angle of the DV machine lens after being hit, etc. It's complicated. Wang Yang took dozens of shots, almost smashing the doll before this shot finally passed.
Now only the last shot was left. After Kevin was dumped into the bedroom, Mei slowly walked into the bedroom without expression. Her clothes and face were covered with blood, and she went to the ground. Kevin In front of her body, she crouched down, and then she seemed to find the DV camera. She smiled at the camera of the DV camera, then reached out and turned off the DV camera, and the movie ended.
In order to shoot this shot, Rachel's blue pajamas had a chest and syrup on her face, which was the only "bloody" shot in the movie.
"Yang, I'm ready." Rachel said to Wang Yang, then walked out of the bedroom and waited in the hallway; Zakariwo curled up on the floor, covering a half of the lens.
Wang Yang was also lying on the floor, looking at the display behind the DV machine. He shouted: "Okay, everyone, the last shot of the movie, start!" He jumped in his heart and pressed the start of the DV machine. Shoot button.
In the dim bedroom, there were only some faint blue light, Rachel, who played Meier, stood at the door of the bedroom, she walked slowly and step by step, squatted down in front of Kevin ’s body, her face There was a dead silence. Suddenly, she looked at the DV machine and smiled evilly, and reached out to look at the DV machine. The camera was dark.
"Stop!" Wang Yang frowned, indicating that he was dissatisfied with the performance just now. He spent a week with him. Rachel was already familiar with his small movements. Seeing him bit his lip, he knew that it was on his behalf. While deciding what to say, he looked at him quietly.
She didn't guess wrong, and Wang Yang immediately said to her: "Rachel, your smile is a bit overdone. In the last shot, Meier's smile doesn't need to be so exaggerated, you can laugh naturally and cooperate with the whole movie, that way His smile is more scary, shudders. Do you understand? "He was still lying on the floor, looking up at Rachel who was standing up in front, and said:" Yeah, when you come over, your pace will be more stiff, and The face is calmer. "
Rachel made an "OK" gesture and smiled: "I understand, smile naturally, like now, right?"
"Well, it's not bad, but I need to be sweeter! You know, it's like looking at your boyfriend." As Wang Yang finished, Zachary on the ground murmured: "Oh, in his boyfriend's Smiling sweetly in front of the body, it's really perverted. "Seeing Rachel standing at the door ready, Wang Yang smiled and said," I just want the perverted effect. 3, 2, 1, start! "
Hearing the beginning, Rachel walked over step by step. This time her body was stiff, like a zombie; she came to Kevin ’s body, squatted down, and slowly smiled at the DV camera, revealing After two dimples, the two dimples that were usually seen how sweet they are now covered with blood, but a sweet smile is creepy.
Wang Yang shook his fist, and a heat flowed out of his heart, shouting out loudly: "Good performance! Passed!"
"Over !? Over!" Zacharyho bounced off the floor, his face full of excitement; and Rachel closed her eyes with a sigh of relief, then smiled and opened her face, all from the heart. Sweet smile.
"It's over! The movie is over! We have succeeded!" Wang Yang also stood up from the floor, waved his fists and couldn't help but shouted "YES" and said, "God! I'm so happy! Unbelievable!" We ’re done shooting, it ’s done perfectly! This week I seemed to be living in a dream! God!
He looked at Rachel and Zachary and said excitedly:
You are working hard, it ’s hard working you!

He spread his hands and embraced Zachary, patted Zachary's back, and thanked: "Thank you, Zachary! It was a great performance!" Zachary laughed and patted his back, Tao: "Yang, I thank you too, you gave me a chance."
Releasing Zachary, Wang Yang smiled and looked at Rachel again. Rachel also smiled and took the initiative to spread his arms around him and hugged him tightly. Wang Yang said earnestly, "Rachel, Thank you, thank you very much! You acted great, you reminded me a lot, and helped me a lot ... I do n’t know what to say, only this sentence, thank you. "
Rachel leaned on Wang Yang ’s shoulders, smiling quietly with his face lightly exposed to the dimples, and said softly:
Yang, you have taught me a lot. In this week, I have learned a lot and learned a lot in school. What she can't learn. "She laughed again:" And it's a pleasure working with you. "
"I am also very happy." Wang Yang smiled and patted her shoulder, the two separated, and smiled at each other.
At this time, Zachary said with a sigh: "Oh, it's amazing to think of it, I actually became a actor once! Wow, so amazing!" He said sincerely: "Seriously, this week I have a very fulfilling and happy life. I have filming jobs every day and I can perform in front of the camera. Oh, this is my favorite job. It ’s not about leading people in the supermarket. "
Rachel laughed: "Well, it's much more interesting than taking classes in school." She shrugged and said, "Of course, I still have to take classes. This week's performance work made me realize that I'm still far away. There is still a lot to learn. "
"I can't imagine that I will go back to my previous life tomorrow." Zachary sighed. The excitement and excitement just now disappeared, and he shook his head: "Every day I will lead people in the supermarket, 'Hey, you Do you know where the vegetable zone is? ',' Oh, over there, this lady, come with me ',' Hey, this kid, you can't crush potato chips ... 'Gosh!' He He covered his forehead and said, "It's just like this every day. If you have the chance to audition, you can try your luck in Hollywood. If you have luck, there is a trick, usually only for the masses."
Seeing the atmosphere was a little sad, Wang Yang pulled the curtains of the room open to let in the light from outside. The bedroom was suddenly bright. He joked: "Man, don't worry, once this movie is released, even if you can't make it Big stars will also get a lot of opportunities. "
Zachary and Rachel both laughed, but Zachary didn't say anything. This movie is going to be released. How easy is it to talk about? DV shooting at home, production cost of 10,000 US dollars, a young director who is 18 years old and more than two months ... Which publishing company would favor it?
But what Zachari did not know is that Wang Yang is not even a young director, but can only be said to be a "Baby" director. In Hollywood, it ’s very young to be able to direct a movie at the age of thirty, and the Guinness Book of Records has such a thing. The youngest director in Hollywood, Stephen Paul, who directed "Against Love" in 1980 was only a few years old. 20 years old. Wang Yang is now 18 years and two months old.
Zachary suddenly proposed: "Yang, Rachel, I have an idea, let's wait out the bar and play." He touched his head and said, "You know, after today, we don't know when we can Get together. "
"Okay." Rachel nodded happily, and Wang Yang also agreed: "Well." He looked at Rachel and smiled: "But you have to change your clothes first. It's not Halloween now. Vampires can't come out yet. . "
Rachel smiled and put on an evil expression, dipped the "blood" on her face with her hands, sucked it into her mouth, and said hoarsely, "It's sweet." After all, she couldn't help laughing. stand up.
"Oh, wait! Rachel, your shot is very interesting, I think I should add it to the movie! Everyone, our work is not over!" Wang Yang snapped his fingers suddenly and said seriously. He looked at the stunned Rachel and Zachary and suddenly laughed, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm kidding. My friend, go and change clothes."
Rachel gave him a white look and spread his hands: "Actually I hope you are not kidding." Zachary also sighed: "Yeah, as soon as I heard‘ Everyone ’, I felt full of strength.

"Wow, I'm really touched, but it's over." Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, while arranging the DV machine, and he was a little lost in his heart. I don't know how long before he can shout "Everyone", "Start", " stop"……
Said a few more laughs before Rachel went to the bathroom to change clothes and wash her face; while Zakari in a white vest only had to wear a T-shirt and coat.
Wang Yang connected the DV camera to the computer and transferred the images taken today to the computer. While waiting, the phone rang suddenly. He took it out and saw Jessica Alba's call. Every day when it was near dusk, she would make a phone call to ask about the filming progress. Wang Yang smiled and said, "Hi, Jessica."
"Hi, Yang. How is the movie done today? Is it finished?" Jessica asked. During the call yesterday, she knew that the filming work might end today.
Wang Yang leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, watching the progress of the transfer on the computer screen progressing a little bit, and smiling at the phone: "Well, the shot is done. God! Jessica, do you know this? It feels great, so amazing! "He wowed and sighed:" I'm very satisfied and excited now. Think about it, I actually made a movie, I was a director once, God, It ’s crazy, incredible! "
"Jian, congratulations, I am proud of you." Jessica laughed happily. She had wanted to come over today to witness the end of the filming, but she suddenly received an audition opportunity in the morning. One can say a few words to the actor The line's role as a waiter in a retail store. The result failed, and the film's director and producer rejected her because she did not have the ordinary temperament of the waiter. They chose a white girl with a round face.
She wanted to raise this matter with Wang Yang, telling her dissatisfaction, but now Wang Yang is so happy, she feels that she should not mention this kind of dissipation.
Wang Yang turned his chair and invited: "Yes, we are going to go out to the bar to celebrate. Are you free to come together?" Before the words fell, he patted his forehead with a "oh" sound and said with a smile: "Jessica, I almost forget it. You are not yet 18 years old."
Under the age of 18, it means that there is no adult, nor the qualification to enter bars, nightclubs and other places. Do n’t try to get in. In the United States, you must show your ID to the bar guard before entering the bar. Without adulthood, the guard will never let you in because it ’s not moral but legal.
It is forbidden for minors to enter bar and nightclubs, forbid minors to drink alcohol, and naturally prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors. The United States has strict laws in this area, and the control work is also done very well. In some bars, even police will stay there all day long to investigate the age of suspicious elements. Once a bar is found, minors are allowed to enter. , And also sell alcohol to minors, then the bar owner will be fined, revoked the license, or imprisoned.
"Yes, I can't go anymore." Jessica said to him for a while, Wang Yang was about to go to the bar, she said: "Yang, you guys have fun, bye!"
The bar I visited was introduced by Zachary. This is a bar that you can enter when you are over 18 years old. There is a stage in the middle. Below is a small dance floor. Smoking is prohibited, so it is very clean, although many people are very noisy , But there was no smoke. Strictly speaking, although Zachary was born in 1980, he has not yet reached his 18th birthday and he cannot enter the bar, but apparently he is more familiar with this bar, and the guards let him in. Of course, the guards are in his A red seal was stamped on the back of his hand.
The red seal means that this guy is not eligible to buy alcohol, because the legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old, and those who are 21 years old or older will be stamped with a blue seal. Therefore, Wang Yang, who was 18 years and 2 months old, and Rachel, who was 19 years and 5 months old, had the red seals on the backs of their hands.
"Cheers!" Wang Yang, Rachel and Zachary sat on a chair in the corner of the bar, held a glass of cold soda in their hands, and took a sip. No way, although they are old enough to enter the bar, but not old enough to buy alcohol, they can only choose soda or plain water. They chose soda.
"So Yang, why do you want to be a director?" Zachary asked with a smile, and Rachel looked at Wang Yang with interest. This is the most common kind of wine table game. Everyone asks each other questions, and the person being asked needs to tell the answer honestly.
Wang Yang frowned, looking puzzled: "If I said the reason was 'like', would you beat me?" Zachary and Rachel both rolled their eyes and said "Please", Wang Yang He shrugged and smiled and said, "OK, OK. How to say, I have loved movies since I was a child, and when I listen to stories and watch Grimm's fairy tales, a lot of pictures will appear in my mind, even a simple one. I can't help turning it into pictures one by one, and then I thought, if you shoot them out, like a movie, it must be cool. "
"So I was eager to become a director." Wang Yang took a sip of water and smiled again: "Another reason, have you seen the movie" Paradise Cinema "? At that time I watched it, but at the end of the movie My mother covered my eyes when I saw a lot of film cut by Efedo. Oh, I really, really wanted to know what film Efedo cut, and at that time I thought only the director could Look at those films. So, you know. "
Rachel and Zachary laughed in good faith, and Zachary asked curiously: "So are you watching now? I mean the last films in" Paradise Cinema "."
Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I know what it is, but I haven't watched it yet." Rachel looked at him with a reminder and smiled: "Yang, you are now a director, you can go and watch." Wang Yang smiled and said, "No, I said to myself since I was a child, I will watch it only when my first movie is released. I cannot violate this promise, which is also my motivation to keep pace."
Rachel and Zachary nodded suddenly, Wang Yang asked again: "So Rachel, Zachary, why do you want to be an actor?" He looked at Rachel and smiled, "Ms. first."
"Thank you." Rachel smiled, and then said seriously: "Well, it's actually like you, 'like'." Rao Qiu said with a smile after being given a boo by Wang Yang and Zachary: "OK, I loved dancing when I was very young. Toronto is a cold city with many skating rinks, so I practiced figure skating, which is a kind of ice dance. Then one day, my father Took me to a cabaret, and then I was hooked. "
She wowed with emotion and said, "It's shocking. The world on stage is so wonderful and so romantic. I want to go in. I want to be part of the stage. So I gave up skating and started practicing. Dramatic performance. "
"So why are you not a stage actor now?" Zachary asked a question curiously.
Rachel smiled slightly and said, "Because I later found out that my favorite is not dance, not the singing and dancing of stage dramas, but those romantic, charming, and interesting stories. In this respect, movies can satisfy me more. "After a pause, she smiled with two dimples and said," In fact, I can still play a stage play. In terms of dancing, I haven't fallen much. "
"Diligent Rachel! Come, let's give her some applause." Wang Yang took the lead to applaud, and Zachary clapped his hands vigorously; Rachel kept a smile and rolled her eyes from time to time to make a grimace. After a while, Wang Yang looked at Zachary again and asked with a smile, "What about you, man?"
Zachary took a sip of soda and touched his head, seeming a bit shy: "I want to be a racer, I want to be a dancer, I want to be a policeman, a doctor, a pilot ... but, you know, in reality Here, you can only choose one of these occupations, all of which are impossible to achieve. Then. "He tilted his head and seemed to find the surprise tone of the New World:" When I know the actor, when I am an actor, I don't have the opportunity to all. Have you experienced these professions? You can even be 007! That's it, I like the profession of actor. "
Wang Yang smiled and raised his glass. He said, "We are all in it now, aren't we? Cheers!" Rachel and Zachary also raised the glass, and the three of them touched the glass with a smile, and each took a sip of soda.
The three of them chatted for a while. At this time, a fast-paced rock song was suddenly played in the bar. The whole bar boiled and the whistle continued. The young men and women on the small dance floor jumped and were full of heat.
Listening to music, Zacari, who loves to dance, couldn't hold back anymore. He got up and plunged into the small dance floor, twisting his body following the rhythm of the song and dancing on his own.
"Let's go jump too!" Wang Yang stood up and walked to Rachel's chair, extending his hand invitingly, imitating the graceful gentleman's accent, laughing: "This beautiful lady, I can share with you Dance a song? "
Rachel also smiled generously like a lady, stretched out her slender hands, and gently put them in Wang Yang's hands, saying: "Of course, I am happy, this is my honor."
Wang Yang smiled and pulled her up. The two walked to the dance floor. Wang Yang ’s right hand supported her waist, and Rachel ’s left hand held his right hand; while the other two held the forward tightly, but Waltz jumped up naturally. The bar is now playing the Beatles rock, and the others on the dance floor are twisting their bodies at any time according to the feeling, which makes them look so different.
The two walked a few steps sideways, and Rachel couldn't help laughing: "Yang, do you say we are weird, but now it's rock music."
Wang Yang didn't have a smile on his face. While walking with her, he smiled and said: "Rock music? What about then? Rachel, do you know what" Waltz "means?" He did a slide ~ EbookFREE.me ~ laughed: "The word comes from German, and in German, it means rolling, rotating, do you say that waltz is contradictory to rock?"
Rachel calmly matched his sliding steps and looked at him with interest, saying: "Wow, I didn't expect you to study dance." Wang Yang laughed: "A little bit." Rachel smiled: "No, This is not a little bit, you are jumping very well. "
Waltz is a very cooperative dance. The two are the first dance partners of each other, and they are not playing waltz now, but they are actually dancing in the clouds, and there is no such a mistake of stepping on the foot. This shows that the dance level of both parties is not low, and there is a very tacit understanding.
"Oh, you too." Wang Yang smiled and twirled around the crowd, gliding lightly on the crowded dance floor, causing many people to watch them. Rachel smiled while cooperating with him: "Wow, I'm different, I just learned this, but you are a learner how to make movies."
Wang Yang laughed: "Oh, making movies is my ideal; and dancing is my hobby! Who doesn't like dancing?" He jumped a few more steps, and he suddenly said: "Beautiful girl, come to a difficult one! "Finally, he put a hand around Rachel's waist, and Rachel understood what he meant, kicked up under his feet, and jumped in a circle with his movements.
"This is tango already!" Rachel shouted "wow".
"Very good, this won't be hard for you, come again!" Wang Yang smiled and hugged her waist, while walking to an empty place on the dance floor, his feet kept spinning. Rachel responded unhurriedly to him, laughing: "Come on, I'm here."
The two looked at each other's eyes, and the body that they stuck together was spinning without turning, but there was no mistake. This silent tacit understanding made them both enjoy.
