"What is another movie directed by Director Lin? It's mysterious. It's been several days and I still don't believe it at all."
"They seemed to only be filming in that room. Director Lin himself was the director and the photographer, and the only actors were Captain Li and the others... They were so tight-lipped that they didn't reveal any information at all."
"With so many people, you can film anything, but don't you want extras?"
During the break, the staff of the "Mr. Zombie 2" crew were gathering together and discussing with each other.
A few days ago, after Lin Zheng came back, he immediately started filming a new movie.
But this is different from before.
This time, Lin Zheng was filming two movies together.
One of them is, of course, "Mr. Zombie 2" which has been previewed before.
Lin Zheng is still the director and starring role, and at the same time, he also coordinates all matters of the entire crew.
But he no longer does everything by himself as he did before.
Instead, he handed over some relatively simple matters that were not absolutely necessary to him to Teacher Chen, Liang Chi, and some staff members of the Blade of Destruction.
He himself, along with Zhang Xirou, Li Changsheng and other members of the Blade of Destruction, ran to another studio to shoot another movie!
But the problem is that this movie is very mysterious.
Even though, both movies have been shooting for nearly three days.
But Teacher Chen and Liang Chi still did not receive any valuable information.
Whenever they asked, Lin Zheng said it was confidential.
Li Changsheng and others also kept secrets.
No news was leaked at all.
"I only know that their shooting location seems to be in a room, and they didn't even take any outdoor shots. Director Lin specifically told me this during a chat," Liang Chi said.
"There is no need for extras in a room..." Teacher Chen suddenly frowned and took a breath. Then, he immediately looked at Liang Chi and said solemnly: "Don't you think... Director Lin's mysterious movie
Does the configuration look a little familiar?"
Liang Chi looked at Teacher Chen's expression and was stunned for a moment before reacting instantly.
He immediately widened his eyes and blurted out four words: ""Record of Ghosts"?"
Teacher Chen also nodded seriously.
Although, Lin Zheng's three previous pure horror films have been banned.
Many people today no longer know the names of "Record of Ghosts" and "Konchi Rock".
But as a member of the crew who has been with Lin Zheng from the very beginning.
Teacher Chen and Liang Chi both experienced the filming of those three movies!
Among those three movies, "The Ghost Story" happened to only need one house as the filming location.
and the family living in that house as the main characters.
Because Lin Zheng was not having an easy life at that time, it was also difficult to find extras for ghost films.
Therefore, in the entire movie of Blue Star's version of "The Ghost Story", there are only a few people from the crew.
And all of this is very similar to this mysterious movie that Lin Zheng is filming.
"Is Director Lin going to make a scary ghost movie again?"
"I don't think it should be. Eternal Pictures failed before. Although their movies were okay at the box office, even a fool can tell that they were fake. Only those idiot fans are still hypnotizing themselves."
"Yes, the three films we made before were not very good at the box office. The market has proven that it is impossible to make money from purely scary ghost films. Why does Director Lin continue to make them?"
"The most important thing is that word of mouth also has an impact. How has Eternal Pictures been criticized? Making a movie like that in Blue Star is just looking for criticism. If Director Lin really makes it, it might also affect the box office and sales of the Zombie series.
Word of mouth!”
"Before, the officials were quite resistant to that kind of movie. Director Lin and the officials are so close, so logically speaking, they shouldn't do this kind of thing."
Teacher Chen and Liang Chi immediately started discussing.
But no one can understand it.
"Maybe that's not the case? I remember once before, Director Lin specifically said that he would not make any more scary movies."
Lin Manyu, who was next to her, also interjected at the right time.
Several people stopped their discussion. You looked at me, I looked at you, and there were only blank looks on each other's faces.
"Director Chen, Director Lin is back!"
At this moment, the staff's shouts suddenly came from not far away.
Teacher Chen stood up and looked towards the entrance of the set, and immediately saw a familiar black business car parked there.
then,
Lin Zheng is wearing a Taoist robe, and Zhang Xirou is holding a black cat.
Li Changsheng, Mei Jixing, Cao Desheng and others, who were also dressed in the movie, got out of the car one after another and walked towards the set.
Because now, Lin is filming two movies at the same time.
In order not to affect efficiency, he usually runs on both sides.
During the day, I mostly spend time with the crew of "Mr. Zombie 2".
In the evening and evening, we will go to the crew of another mysterious movie.
Put your rest time in the morning.
Because of this, the crew of "Mr. Zombie 2" has also made certain adjustments to the filming process.
In the morning, we filmed the plot without Uncle Nine.
In the afternoon, after Lin Zheng and others arrived, they started filming the plot involving Uncle Jiu.
Wait until the zombie crew has finished filming all the daytime scenes.
Then reverse it.
Of course, some of the personnel arrangements will definitely be adjusted according to the requirements of both crews.
Moreover, the needs of the zombie crew will be met first.
This will not cause any confusion, because the filming of the movie itself does not follow the plot.
The crew is only responsible for filming all the materials that may be needed for the entire movie in accordance with the requirements of the director, screenwriter and script.
After the filming is completed and editing is completed, the materials will be arranged, combined and adjusted according to the development order and timeline of the story.
to form a complete movie.
What's more, Teacher Chen and the others not only have detailed scripts and storyboards provided by Lin Zheng.
There are also a large number of professionals provided by the Destruction Blade.
Therefore, even if Lin Zheng is away for a long time, there will be no problems in the operation of the crew.
As soon as they saw Lin Zheng and others approaching, Teacher Chen, Liang Chi and Lin Manyu immediately surrounded them.
They had already finished shooting in the morning.
This period of time was for rest, and also to wait for Lin Zheng and others to arrive before starting the afternoon shooting.
"How do you feel today?"
Lin Zheng looked at Teacher Chen, Liang Chi and others with a smile.
I especially lingered for a long time on Liang Chi, who was wearing a military uniform and a pair of glasses. In order to get closer to the character, he also made himself fatter.
I don’t know if it’s because of these movies.
Liang Chi now looks more and more like Captain Ah Wei.
Even Lin Zheng found it a bit funny after just one glance.
"It went very smoothly. I have kept all the materials. I'm just waiting for you to come over to inspect and sign for receipt."
As the assistant director and the highest person in charge of the crew when Lin Zheng was away, Teacher Chen immediately answered with a smile.
Now that he has official support behind him, Lin Zheng may still have a lot of things, but he is not short of money.
Therefore, it is completely possible to have a lot of money to make a movie.
In order to achieve better results, he asked Mr. Chen to take as many copies of almost all materials as possible.
This way, there won't be any problems when he edits it later.
And after coming to the set every day, he would also set aside a part of his time.
Roughly check what you've already photographed.
Try to make sure that even if he is not here, there won't be any big problems.
After the few people exchanged pleasantries, Lin Zheng immediately sat down in the director's seat and began to check today's materials.
The movie "Mr. Zombie 2" is not completely based on a certain movie.
Instead, I chose to use the general plot of the movie "The Exorcist" as the skeleton.
Add some characters, settings, plots, and some outstanding aspects from the movie "Yimei Taoist".
Two movies combined.
Take the best parts and discard some of the dross.
A new movie re-integrated.
Because in both movies, Western churches appear, and the final bosses are also Western zombies.
Although the overall look is definitely different.
But in the structure of Lin Zheng's zombie universe, there will be repetitions.
Therefore, he had no choice but to endure the pain and combine the two movies into one.
Of course, although the themes of the two movies are relatively similar.
But the difference is still huge.
For example, in the church in "The Exorcist", there is a priest.
Moreover, the church in this movie also had many conflicts with Uncle Jiu’s monastery, Yizhuang.
It does not completely support a certain party, nor does it completely suppress a certain party.
Instead, try to express the concepts that each has its own strengths as much as possible.
Created many ridiculous plots.
In comparison, the church in "Yimei Taoist" is a little less outstanding.
Inside is a group of nuns.
There was no big conflict between me and Uncle Jiu.
Instead, he turned to Uncle Jiu for help.
The biggest function of the entire church is basically to attract that foreign zombie.
In "The Exorcist", there is a plot in which China and the West are in opposition and competing with each other.
It is definitely more interesting than the church-related plot in "Yimei Taoist".
Moreover, in "Taoist Master of Exorcism", another junior brother of Uncle Jiu from Maoshan appeared, named Taoist Master Tulong.
But this Taoist priest is actually a villain who uses corpses to transport poison.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Lin Zhengcai decided to use "The Exorcist Taoist" as the skeleton.
However, "Yimei Taoist" also has many elements that Lin Zheng values very much.
For example, Captain Ah Wei played by Liang Chi only had a role in "Yimei Taoist".
For example, there is a very cute little zombie inside.
The little zombie in "One Eyebrow Taoist" only appeared once in Lin Zhengying's movie.
But it left a deep impression in the hearts of many viewers.
Many people have even said on the Internet that they also want to raise one.
This is enough to prove that the creation of this little zombie is very successful.
Such a character that can make the audience feel good.
Of course Lin Zheng would not throw it away.
And he also happens to have a very suitable actor here.
That was Weird No. 007, who had defected to them not long ago.
Although No. 007 is strangely a red one, he is still quite cute based on his appearance.
Of course, when No. 007 was photographed, he had to use paper-tying techniques to prepare a zombie suit for No. 007.
Otherwise, let it be photographed in its original image.
The revelation of Jill is likely to cause some parents who have given birth to daughters to complain about the movie.
Whether it was his past life or this life, everything Lin Zheng saw and heard told him.
Some parents are the ones who must not be messed with.
Therefore, this emergency evacuation must be done.
In addition, Lin Zheng also plans to use the movie "Mr. Zombie 2" to introduce the character of "Partridge Girl".
The character "Partridge Girl" comes from the movie "New Mr. Zombie".
Played by Lin Junru, she is Uncle Jiu’s junior sister.
She was madly in love with Uncle Jiu and would do anything to get him.
Lin Zheng planned to have Partridge send the little zombies, as well as the spirit babies and demon babies from the "New Mr. Zombie" movie at the beginning of the movie.
Because Partu had to leave for a while because she had something to do, she couldn't take care of her dojo.
Therefore, it is natural to temporarily store these very important things in the hands of my most trusted senior brother, Uncle Jiu.
At the same time, this is also an opportunity to get close to Uncle Jiu.
The logic is very reasonable and makes perfect sense.
This can also explain why there are no baby zombies in the first part of "Mr. Zombie".
As for the actor playing the role of Partridge Gu, Lin Zheng plans to hand it over to Zhou Xinyi.
Zhou Xinyi naturally had no objection.
After all, Lin Zheng hasn't written the script for "New Mr. Zombie" yet.
She also doesn't know what the fate of her character will be in the future.
Of course, it's impossible for Lin Zheng to do it, as he is really too much of a prank on Zhou Xinyi.
After all, Zhou Xinyi is not Lin Junru, but a great beauty.
Therefore, when the script is released, there will definitely be restrictions on the prank parts.
To make up for it, some ambiguous parts should be added.
Although Lin Zheng was not very willing in his heart, he could only dedicate himself to the movie's box office results, the audience's experience, and art.
At the same time, there are many similar changes.
For example, in "The Master of Exorcism", Uncle Jiu's apprentices are not Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng.
Instead, he became Chang Wei and a girl.
Of course Lin Zheng wanted to clear the names of Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
For example, at the end of "The Exorcist", when dealing with a zombie+vampire hybrid.
It is the divine magic of the church priest and the Taoism of Uncle Jiu that work together.
But in Blue Star, those things in the church are of no use at all.
So in the end I had to rely on Uncle Jiu to solve all problems.
At the same time, there are no vampires in Blue Star.
Therefore, the Western zombie inside is just a zombie, but it has a "bat demon" who has been cultivated into a demon as a friend.
The officials of the building and Lin Zheng both want to make the Zombie Universe movie series something that is both popular and popular, and at the same time has the effect of a "weird textbook".
Therefore, any changes that should be made must be made.
But Lin Zhengye naturally tried his best to retain the best parts of the original movie.
And strive to make the entire viewing experience better.
After checking it, Lin Zheng was quite satisfied with this morning's material.
Then, everyone started shooting in the afternoon.
…
By the evening, the shooting had come to an end.
The next step is to have dinner, take a rest, and then rush to another studio to shoot another movie.
Lin was sitting in the director's seat, checking the material shot this afternoon and eating the meal in his hand.
Although it is a box lunch, the meat and vegetable combinations are very orderly, and the color, flavor and taste are equally complete.
I don’t know how much more delicious it was than before when Lin Zheng was just a young director.
But at this time, Lin Zheng's food was a little boring.
Because he is thinking about a very important question.
That’s the question about the movie “The Grudge”!
That's right, that mysterious movie that made Teacher Chen and Liang Chi very interested.
Of course it's "The Grudge".
This movie is really scary, and the shooting scenes and the whole atmosphere are quite eerie.
And those extras in the movie were killed by Kayako and her children.
Since we have to face the weirdness directly, of course we can’t ask ordinary people to act.
This important task can only fall on the shoulders of Li Changsheng and others.
That's why this movie seems so mysterious.
After all, ordinary people will probably be scared when they see it.
Lin Zheng's current problem is not with the filming of this movie.
After all, he has two real ghosts as actors.
The effect produced will definitely be more exciting and scary than the original version.
Some things that the special effects and stunts of the past couldn't do, Yang Xiaohua and No. 007 were so weird that they could do it casually.
And after all, there are specialties in the arts, and ghosts are specialized in scaring people.
In this regard, these two men in red will definitely be able to provide Lin Zheng with a lot of constructive suggestions.
Lin Zheng's version of "The Grudge" will definitely not be any worse, and there will definitely not be any difficulties in shooting it.
But after the filming is completed, the distribution of the movie is a big problem.
Just like what Teacher Chen and Liang Chi were discussing at noon before Lin Zheng came over.
If the movie "The Grudge" is really released, it will definitely have a huge impact.
First of all, the box office of the movie will definitely not be good.
The reputation will definitely be very bad.
After all, this is Blue Star, and Eternal Pictures’ trashy ghost movie was criticized for being like that.
Not to mention a ghost movie of the caliber of "The Grudge".
Once it is released, even if it can achieve the effect Lin Zheng expected, it will successfully take revenge on the island country.
But there are side effects that come with it.
For example, Lin Zheng's own reputation as a director and the audience's love for him.
And its impact on the box office and reputation of subsequent movies in the zombie series.
They are all real, and they are something Lin Zheng does not want to bear.
Teacher Chen and Liang Chi could think of these problems, and Lin Zheng could naturally think of them too.
And the only way to reduce these side effects is.
Just... don't let those who support Lin Zheng in Daxia see this movie.
Let people from abroad, preferably people from the island country, see it!
After all, Lin was filming this movie just to take revenge on the island country, not to take revenge on the audience of Daxia.
Since there is a target for revenge, it is naturally best to do it in one step.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to issue it overseas, or even issue it to an island country at a designated location.
Do not go online domestically to stabilize Lin Zheng’s domestic fundamentals in Daxia.
After learning about Lin Zheng's filming plan for this movie, Daxia officials had the same idea.
But the problem is that current international distribution is completely controlled by eternal sales.
Even if Daxia officials tried hard, they were beaten by the opponent.
There is simply no way to distribute it.
So, even though the filming of "The Grudge" went very smoothly.
But these distribution issues still give Lin Zheng a headache!
Five thousand two hundred words!
You performed pretty well today, and there are still four chapters owed, so I'll pay them back slowly!
