Chapter 227 Patronized by Demons

Film shooting has many problems, film shooting has a lot of fun, and there is also a wonderful feeling, as if the whole world has a sense of film. From the silent film era, the golden age, the new Hollywood, the eve of the digital revolution, Ye Wei likes this feeling before it has passed.

The technical problems are solved by teams, while the performance problems are dependent on the director and actors. What makes him feel relieved is that the actors performed well.

Ryan DeSantis, who plays Cotton, Mark Carlton, who plays Switzer, Mara Barry, who plays female recording artist Mara, Damian Rush, who plays Ramon... and other actors, they have never had film and television performances before, have no INDb personal page, are amateur actors who do not belong to any union, have little experience in stage plays, and most of them are improvised in some entertainment venues.

Improvisational ability is the most important aspect of Ye Wei's casting this time. Because there is no rehearsal and no nanny-like directing, the actor's improvisational performance is very important.

These actors are really cheap and easy to use, they are definitely pseudo documentaries, and are willing to work at full speed without rest for a long time without a break.

At the beginning, "Cotton" and others were very awkward in front of the camera, and they were a little unwilling to let go. He had to direct a lot, not to talk about the opera, but to adjust their mental state, just follow their usual performance style. The difference is that they have to say lines and complete the required movements and movements, but don't think about acting in a movie, just perform naturally.

They got into the state in less than a morning. Because they were filming pseudo-documentary, the photographer's handheld capture was more important than the actor's precise movements, and the stable lens was easier to act, so there was no big problem after they performed.

And Nina, who joined the crew today, really praises her acting talent. Perhaps she is not as talented as Natalie Portman, Kesha Castello Huyes, Abigil Brycelin, or may not be as talented as Emma and Anna Sophia. Co Nina is talented.

Although she usually looks like a stupid girl, she has her own understanding and shaping of the scene on the set and her ideas about the character. Because of the extremely elasticity of "Maggie" in shaping, she makes Maggie become herself and Maggie, making her true performance persuasive.

She also has a strong sense of performance rhythm, great enthusiasm and hard work. It is not surprising that she has performed well after three sets during the day.

Of course, Nina will sometimes be too hot, sometimes the performance details are not accurate enough, and it is easy to understand "more performance" as stretching her face... These ambiguousness is normal, and it is not necessarily that those geniuses do not have them.

Ye Wei was happy and proud of her. He knew that when everyone heard that Nina was his girlfriend, the first reaction was: "No way? Isn't this a professional project?"

Now they all saw that no one was making a fuss. Nina was not a doll, not a fool, not a genius, but an excellent girl.

The night is shrouding Toronto, the cold wind blows on the ground, the snow on the trees, and the dark white. In He's farm, the crew of Exorcist Video is working overtime to shoot.

From early morning to around seven o'clock, I took a break for lunch for half an hour in one round, and had a half hour dinner at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Then I worked overtime to B to shoot today's highlight, Cotton exorcized Maggie for the first time.

The set is an ordinary room in the ancient house of the farm. Now after the setting of Julie Berghoff's art department, it has become a simple and warm girl's room. Nina also brings some small objects in her room, objects that are in line with the atmosphere of the 3rds.

At this time, everyone was preparing for the shooting. Grady and Mara were checking the photography equipment. Beghoff and artists were taking the final scene beside the wooden bed. Grand and Portker were holding the script and discussing in a low voice, whether they could change any line better...

After a whole day of busy life, everyone's face was exhausted, but a fire in their hearts never went out.

Cotton and the actors stood by the door, each of them had a script in their hands, listening to Ye Wei's simple play: "Cotton, you are acting, so that the audience can see that you are cheating Switzer and the exaggerated old liar. Switzer, you reacted with nervousness and discomfort, and hoped for Cotton, and heartbroken for Maggie. Ramon, because you know it's a trick, watching the excitement, you find it interesting, and you seem a little uneasy. OK?"

"I understand." "Okay." Everyone nodded. Ye Wei looked at Nina who was listening next to her and said calmly: "Maggie, you were nervous at the beginning. Cotton did not succeed in exorcizing the demons, but instead angered the demons. It wanted to make you suffer a little, but your pain was not to reach the extreme, but it was just moderate. There was more fear than pain and helplessness. I hope that God would save you through the exorcist. You know that over-performance is needed here, and you should give me 70% of it."

"Yeah, OK." Nina nodded thinking.

Ye Wei encouraged everyone and said, "This is a long scene, but you don't have to worry. I will be divided into many shots. At worst, I can work overtime for an hour." Everyone chuckled. He didn't say much, and walked towards Grady with his hands. Without an assistant director, he could only shout by himself: "The whole world is ready, the filming starts."

With a command, everyone took action and entered the shooting state.

Soon, with a clamor, the reporter Lauder hit the camera and Ye Wei said, "Ptv."

"Okay, let's start, let's pray to God, please close your eyes."

Cotton looked at Maggie lying flat on the bed with a Bible and a special cross, and said passionately, "He led me to the sabbath of rest, and he awakened my soul. He guided me on the path of righteousness for his own name. Even though I walked through the valley of the shade of death, I was not afraid of harm. Because you are with me, your rod and your rod, comfort me. Do you have the courage? Maggie?"

"Yes, sir." Maggie nodded nervously, putting her hands on her belly like a prayer.

"Do you believe it? Do you believe that Jesus can drive away the demons in your body?" Cotton spoke faster and louder.

Switzer, who was a few steps away, frowned and walked twice. Ramon smiled and seemed surprised.

"I believe, sir." Maggie nodded again, breathing even heavier.

"Then let him take it away, the demon, go away in the name of God. Get out, demon, you torture this innocent girl's sins, do you think God doesn't know? The light of God has come, you leave this girl, in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of holy blood, get out quickly, demon, I command you to get out.

Just as Cotton was shouting, Ye Wei, outside the performance area, approached the microphone and pressed the Walkman, playing the devil's sound effect. The script was Cotton's scam, and in order to save time, the mixing workload was less to save time, he directly broadcasted on the set.

Hearing this voice, everyone had different reactions. Switzer was surprised, Ramon was curious, Cotton was righteous, and Maggie was full of fear. She looked around and was about to get up. Suddenly, a rumbling sound was shaken by the wooden bed that was wielding and foot. She screamed in extreme fright: "Ah."

"It's coming." She moved back, but the head of the bed blocked her and suddenly screamed again, with pain, as if she was torn, her eyes glared and her hands and feet were kicking, "No, it's coming, save me, God, ah, ah..."

Ye Wei looked at it, nervously sweating his palms, and said silently: That's it, my good girl, just like this, fear, pain, just now

This night until B o'clock, the sound of exorcism kept ringing in the room and the screams of the girl. The director kept dealing with it calmly. When the whole scene was filmed and he was about to get off work that day, he praised everyone for saying "very good".

Nina, who was sweating profusely, smiled just now, which made everyone who doubted whether the devil had really come to breathe a sigh of relief.

On the 10th, the ll continued to start shooting early in the morning. The first turning point had been taken. Cotton and the others came to the farm again. The pregnancy was suspense, and the cause of Maggie's mother's death appeared one after another. The spearhead was pointed directly at Switzer, who killed his wife and raped his daughter.

The suspense of death is because Maggie starts to say something crazy, like a mental problem, or a demon who appears, and the demon is also her mother's resentment.

To perform these scenes well, it really requires another explosion in Nina's performance, because the cunning demon, the resentful Maggie mother, and the poor Maggie, are three different images. It is not enough to perform based on their true colors. It is not easy to perform with changing expressions and eyes.

So on this day, Nina's N has become more, Ye Wei's directing has also become more, and the shooting progress has slowed down.

Another reason is that on the weekend, Constantine and Mihaela came to visit the set to watch their daughter perform in a movie. They only stayed for about an hour before they were driven away by Nina, and warned the two not to come again. They were standing on the set, and she couldn't find the feeling of acting.

On the 2nd, on the fifth day of the shooting, Cotton began to obey the second exorcism of ancient books half-believingly and began to confront the demons head-on.

Nina's performance will have another layer of change, and she is crazy.

After more than ten days, the casting of "Di Wyne" has a new situation. Now "Daily Beauty" is a highly anticipated project. Countless young actors hope to get this role. Not only Angelo, but also the well-known actors who took the initiative to audition have risen sharply, including Jon Hyde, who became famous for "Napoleon".

There are ten people on the final selection list, including well-known actors, and less well-known but outstanding actors. They all received the same news. Only after the Christmas and New Year holidays will the final audition with Ye Wei in charge will be announced separately.

They don't know the reason, but if they ask the people on the crew of Exorcist Video, they will know why.

"Oh, young people are young people, will they be tired?"

When Grand and Porterko returned to the hotel where they were staying, so tired that they didn't have the strength to walk back to the room. The only idea was to go to bed quickly and get up again at 6 o'clock tomorrow to watch the sample. From the sale of the script, the 13th day of continuous rapid work

They are only in their thirties and are definitely in their prime. But for more than ten days, they are doing well when they are doing things. When they hear Ye Wei's voice, "I'll be here today, thank you for your hard work, everyone," they all fell apart, and their minds were exhausted that day.

However, the two of them fell asleep with a smile, and they slept very sweetly and steadily. The other side of these tiredness is that the new work is being realized step by step, feeling God.

Tired, but full of enthusiasm, this is the general appearance of the crew of the Exorcist Video.

Every creator cherishes this opportunity very much. Compared with showing off his talents and ambitions, his dreams come true, and compared with the beautiful future he longs for, he is exhausted.

It was nothing if Grady's right shoulder swollen with a large piece. He tried to apply Chinese medicine wine for the first time. He didn't know how to try it before, but he only used it after listening to the recommendation of VIYR spoon. The effect was really good. In the past, if anyone heard someone saying that VIY was just a commercial hype, he would listen, but now he would refute it solemnly, it's not.

The person with the most say is the one who has worked with VIY. Grady doesn't know who is not convinced in the crew.

Be convinced? In the opinion of Julie Berghoff, VIY is that the demon has a kind of demon that can⊥You are willing to work hard for him. If you do well, you should do well. If you do not do well, you are sorry for him. If he says good, you are good. If he says bad, you will do it until he says good.

Too different, although they are all going forward at full speed, Exorcist Video and Saw are different, and here are faster, more sudden, more work.

How many times have the art and art group led by Ye Wei's sudden whim? The rough exploitation film is a scam, not the audience, but the tricks. The exploitation film will not be concerned about small props that the audience will not even notice. The exploitation film will not pay attention to any meaning or subconsciousness in the set. The exploitation film will directly put out the things to be exploited. If you want blood, you will give blood. If you want breasts, you will give chests.

He also swayed, but the requirements were too high when swaying, but what can you do? He also wanted to make the film good. Seeing his young face full of enthusiasm and his words full of trust, you naturally want to do it well. This is really completely different from James Win, the bad boy is serious and charming.

Beghoff is not a little girl, but because he can't sleep, he is too stressed and nervous and excited for a whole day, his mind is still running. I don't know how to stop. The day before yesterday she had to take sleeping pills and get an alarm clock, and told herself how many days there are...

In contrast, Mayes Rubeo was a little relaxed because the script was only three days, so the actors didn't need to prepare much costumes, so Maggie had to design a few more sets. The director's overall requirement was "3 years, a sense of remoteness". She showed her ideas to the fullest. No matter whether the project could be released or successful, this work was always more interesting than guarding the wardrobe.

Until at around 10 pm on the 13th, Rubeo was suddenly visited by a demon

Y called and no longer needed a dark red dress that had been prepared before. It was originally Nina's costume tomorrow. VIY also said that dark red can form a strong contrast with the white of snow and the darkness of the night, but now he said, "I have neglected a little. The dark red does not conform to Maggie's personality, not the most suitable one. She is a simple farm girl and should not have a charming dark red dress. So I changed to a white dress. The classic and simple style is not white, but gray and white, with blood that killed Katie and large blood stains that stained it."

I will use it tomorrow. Two of them have the same style, one with blood and the other has no. Where can I find it suddenly?

Sitting in the chair for a while, Rubeo sighed and left the room and left the hotel. He didn't have to sleep this night.

Bee bee bee bee bee

The sky was still dark, and the alarm clock was ringing.

"Um... I understand." Martha Villanueva slowly turned around, reached out to press the alarm clock on the bedside table, forced herself to open her eyes, and yawned up.

As a makeup stylist on the crew, she has to arrive on the set as soon as possible every day, start her day work, and set makeup for the starring actors. But every time she thinks she is the first person to arrive, she sees VIY playing football there, and Nina, who wants to put on makeup, is still sleeping in his car.
