Chapter 25 Ghost Record

Jiang Pei'an spent the whole morning on the set of "Pretty Mom" ​​and had a lot of experiences.

From now to future generations, the domestic film and television industry has developed for decades.

Now we are at a critical juncture of change. With the innovation of equipment and the investment of a large number of practitioners, the film and television industry is becoming more and more advanced and perfect.

For example, if the crew of "Pretty Mom" ​​casually brought out a camera, it would completely destroy the crew of Jiang Pei'an's small studio.

This is the advancement of technology of the times and the power of RMB...

While feeling the changes of the times, Jiang Peian is familiar with the long-dormant rhythm of work.

He had been helping Sun Zhou keep an eye on the young actors throughout the morning, and there were no further mishaps.

"Okay, call it a day!"

The entire crew was like a highly efficient machine, even finishing work and preparing meals in an orderly manner.

Today's group performances basically cost 20 yuan a day and often require eight or nine hours of work.

"You don't know what will happen when you fall asleep".

Gong Li looked at Jiang Peian and said:

"I think the story is very attractive, and it's also a role that I have never challenged, but..."

The investment in "B Area No. 32", which was later compared to "Ghost Chronicles", was only 70,000 yuan.

This sentence alone evoked panic in her heart.

Take advantage of the situation!

And as you can see, I can’t leave the crew for a while..."

"Records of Ghosts".

What will happen to the unknown that is so close to life?

The movie "Ghost Chronicles" records the story of everything that happens around you after you fall asleep.

It carries the weight of mountains and rivers and melts the charm of water.

Since then, pseudo-documentaries have become a profitable tool for horror films.

No matter what age, group acting is not an easy meal.

Even in later generations, Hengdian extras without lines would still earn about 90-150 RMB.

Since her debut, she has never been involved in this type of film.

"Okay, your words are enough. Thank you, Sister Li."

Its plot is very simple. It is about a young couple who moved into a suburban apartment and were frightened by strange noises at night.

It's lunch time now, and Gong Li is alone in the tent.

"You want me to star in this movie? Horror movies probably won't pass censorship in China."

Horror film.

Jiang Peian said hello.

Nowadays, filming a movie requires a filming permit.

"Um?"

After Jiang Peian exchanged greetings with her, he took out a piece of manuscript paper from his handbag.

Of course, both "Blair Witch" and Jiang Pei'an's "Ghost Chronicles" are limited by cost and funding issues and have to be presented in the form of pseudo-documentaries.

Jiang Pei'an was very well prepared. In the divided shots of the painting, the placement of the camera, the sound effects and the creation of the scary atmosphere were all carefully marked.

She treats people more kindly, and compared to the entertainment stars of later generations, you will find actors of this era or this type.

The rating on Douban is only 2.3, which is on par with Director Bi's "Dream Showbiz".

This kind of pseudo-documentary from a first-person perspective, although the quality of the movie's picture and sound effects is not as good as digital photography.

"Sister Li, have you ever thought about having a job in this movie?"

Forty minutes later, Gong Li slowly raised her head and looked at Jiang Pei'an for the first time.

After seeing the name at first, she subconsciously resisted.

When he was about to leave, Gong Li stopped him.

If we say that feature films use plot and characters as their selling points and starting point.

Her beauty is a rare, majestic and thick beauty composed of dense bones and flesh.

But even with such bad data, it can still win a total box office of 16 million...

Jiang Peian happily packed up the script.

Gong Li greeted her warmly with a smile.

Jiang Peian nodded, if Gong Li is willing to star, that would be great, but if she is not willing...

Seeing this name, Gong Li probably knows the type of this script.

"Um."

Most horror films use atmosphere and a sense of immersion as their killer moves, making the audience hold their breath as if they are immersed in the scene.

But when Gong Li saw the first sentence of the script, she was completely attracted.

Invisibly surrounding the audience in a terrifying atmosphere...

"This is... a script?"

Jiang Peian suggested again.

So it was decided to place a camera in the bedroom to capture stories of potential "weird phenomena".

"I can recommend someone to you. She should be able to serve as the heroine."

"I made an appointment with Director Sun, and we will shoot the next work together.

Even most of the time it is attributed to suspense films.

This background makes them in sharp contrast to those noble domestic entertainment stars who "why don't they sign autographs when they see me?"

She hesitated for a while, neither refusing nor agreeing, but smiled and said:

"We can wait until the finished film comes out?"

Regarding Gong Li, there is a widely recognized saying in later generations:

Gong Li wrote a name and contact information on the paper.

"Hi, hello, your song is really nice and well written."

Everything happening around you is incomprehensible and has nothing to do with you.

For well-known reasons, horror films do not have a large market share in the country.

Gong Li took the script, looked at Jiang Peian and said:

"If this film were made, I'm afraid it would be even scarier. After all, it was shot in the form of a mockumentary."

The so-called beauty of Mother Earth is probably like this.

It's 1999 now, and "The Blair Witch Project" is probably being filmed.

"Then we will go to overseas markets."

Instead, when he looked at his exposed arms, the hairs stood up and goosebumps arose.

Therefore, Gong Li watched it effortlessly and with great concentration.

Although Jiang Peian said it in a vague way, after all, Gong Li is no longer a young girl who has just entered the film and television industry.

The front is the synopsis of the story, the back is the character biographies, and the rest are all shot-by-shot scripts.

"Huh~"

But the atmosphere created is closer to the protagonist, and the distance between the character and the audience outside the screen will also be shortened.

Gong Li shook her head and apologized:

Since it is an overseas release, if Jiang Pei'an needs her to participate in it, he probably thinks:

There are many directors in the world who can tell stories, countless.

She did not refuse, and after getting Jiang Peian's permission, she slowly opened the script.

She exhaled heavily, then looked at Jiang Peian and said:

"An excellent script that gives people a sense of reality."

Jiang Peian shook his head and said:

"This kind of niche movie has no future in China now."
