"...Yes, yes, the script has been selected and the leased venue is about to expire. There is nothing I can do!"
"It's too late. Time is very tight. People will use this place in a week. I heard that they will use it to rebuild it and film a costume drama. My friend told me this before when he gave me a new script. But my old-fashioned shooting props have to be replaced. They are no longer easy to use. If you are not in a hurry, just use them for now..."
"Well, the actors are already in place. These seventeen actors are quite able to endure hardships. There are really not many young actors like them who are as hard-working and uncomplaining..."
"The screenwriter and Lao Wang have something to do at home. I have asked them to go back first. The photographer and I will shoot the original film here first. After shooting, we will go back to them for post-processing... Don't worry, don't worry, this week I will definitely finish it!"
A fat man with a round face hung up the phone in fear, then exhaled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then, he clapped his hands to the seventeen actors in the weed-strewn open space and said:
"Okay, everyone, I am Director Zheng Chao, please listen to what I have to say -"
"This time, I'm really sorry to ask you to go all the way over the mountains to shoot a movie in such a harsh place, but there's no way. The script was given by the company, and the venue was rented by the company. I don't care. So we try our best to finish the filming as early as possible, and then leave as early as possible... Of course, don’t worry, our Menglong Company will never default on wages. After we return from the filming, we will clear the bills for you on the spot."
"We only had one week to shoot this time. The original plan was to shoot three scenes a day, a total of 21 scenes, and we shot them all in exactly seven days."
"Don't worry about food and accommodation. The company has sent people over in advance and prepared enough tents and ingredients for us here."
"The water source is at the other end of the hillside. It takes three to five minutes to get there. It's very convenient."
"In addition, I have sorted out the script and will send it to you immediately. We will shoot the first scene when the sun goes down -"
Director Zheng Chao looked a little excited.
Although he was forced to shoot this movie by the company, and it was a low-budget movie, he himself is a serious paranormal enthusiast. It is inevitable that he would feel a little excited when shooting a ghost movie in such an environment.
Everyone in the open space took the script sent by Zheng Chao and read it briefly, roughly understanding the specific content of the script.
This is almost a pure supernatural slasher script.
Everyone's ancestors were the evil ones who killed the native people in the ancient house. They came to this ancient house as explorers to find out what was going on, which is commonly known as death. After that, they were killed by the evil spirits of the old house. Gradually, the truth of that year was found, and finally the remaining protagonist and the other heroine sincerely apologized to the evil spirit, were forgiven by the evil spirit, and left the old house alive.
During this period, the shooting work was completed. Apart from him, there was only one unsmiling photographer. He kept tinkering with the camera equipment in the distance, with an indescribable solemn look on his face.
As one of the supporting actors in the script, Ning Qiushui immediately noticed something was wrong with the photographer's expression.
The seriousness on his face was not the seriousness of one who takes his work seriously.
More like worrying about something.
What is he worried about?
now is our recess time. Ning Qiushui folded his script and walked up to the photographer.
"Hello, my name is Ning Qiushui, I am a supporting actor in this drama."
Suddenly a man's voice came from beside him, which made the cameraman who was immersed in something suddenly startled!
He raised his head in surprise and looked at Ning Qiushui in front of him. It took him about three seconds to come back to his senses. He shook hands with Ning Qiushui in a panic and replied:
"Photography, Wang Peng."
Wang Peng's answer was very simple. He was very polite, but he didn't seem to want to say more to Ning Qiushui.
Just as he lowered his head and continued tinkering with the old camera, Ning Qiu asked coldly:
"You don't look very good. Do you...know something?"
Wang Peng stopped playing with the camera.
Ning Qiushui's words are somewhat interesting.
Generally speaking, the next sentence when greeting someone with a bad face is, are you feeling unwell?
But Ning Qiushui seemed to be sure that he was in good health and thought that he knew something that made him feel very wrong.
Looking back, does Ning Qiushui, who can say this contrary to normal logic, also know that there is a problem in this place?
Wang Peng slowly raised his head, carefully looked at the man in front of him, and then moved his eyes to the shadow on the ground.
"You know something, I don't know anything."
Ning Qiushui increased his tone.
"You also know there's something wrong with this place, right?"
"Talk to me and I promise not to talk nonsense!"
Wang Peng's hand held the camera base pole slightly harder.
He glanced in the direction of the director to confirm that Zheng Chao was not looking at him, and then whispered:
"Didn't the director say that the company sent some people to this place to check out the location in advance and left food and tents?"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"right."
Wang Peng coughed dryly, and his voice was lower and deeper:
"My friend also works in the company's logistics department. The few people who came to visit came to this place three days ago, but since they came, they have never gone back!"
When Ning Qiushui heard this, he immediately frowned.
"You mean... the person who came to visit has disappeared?"
Wang Peng nodded.
"There are four in total. They are all missing. None of them have returned. My friend called the police, but every time he calls the police number, it says busy online. It's so weird..."
"She kept stopping me before I came here to shoot. Now I suddenly feel that I should have listened to her..."
