Chapter 65: The Director Is Picky
"Uh-huh." With Chen Yanlu's reply, the sound of the car starting rang out.
About half an hour later, we arrived at the suburb, I made another call to Xia Bing, and I simply gave my cell phone directly to Chen Yanlu, and the car stopped at the entrance of an old compound.
A woman wearing a white half shirt and shorts stood at the entrance waiting.
I got out of the car and immediately hugged her, chuckling and saying, "Haven't seen you for a few months, you've gotten even prettier."
"Come on less you, by the way, where is the person you were talking about?" Xia Bing looked at me with a face that was not in a good mood and said.
I tapped on the car window and called out, "Chen Yanlu, come out quickly, I'll introduce your future boss to you."
Xia Bing pinched me and whispered, "It may not work yet, our director is especially picky."
Before the words were finished, Xia Bing's eyes started to glaze over, I shook my hand in front of her eyes, and she opened my hand as soon as she, Morning Research Dew, stepped down from the car.
Helplessly smiled at me, red eyes, exuding a demonic light, let me feel the whole body a chill.
I didn't expect Xia Bing to grab my hand with a florid face, looking at Chen Yanlu, I felt that she almost wanted to pounce on me now.
I smiled at Chen Yanlu and said, "This is my friend, Xia Bing."
Xia Bing quickly nodded her head, then extended a hand and said in a voice so sweet that it gave my entire body goosebumps, "Hello, is Chen Yanlu?"
Chen Yanlu nodded stiffly, and I gave him a wink, before extending my hand.
After the two shook hands, Xia Bing looked at Chen Yanlu's eyes with a florid face and said, "Can you tell me where you bought the contacts?"
"Come on you, your eyes are too big for the pupils to fit." I hurriedly changed the topic.
Then said, "Do you think he's okay?" Xia Bing quickly nodded, then turned around and said, "No problem, but the process still needs to go this way, our director is inside, let him try the lens, it just so happens that we are going to shoot a clip."
The door of the compound, shabby as if a hard push, will fall down, wood shavings from time to time from the door peeling off, Chen Yanlu silent followed Xia Bing, I carefully go to pound his waist, said: "You don't look like a dead man, wait as if we were rehearsing at that time, look at the script, and then act it out once, I'm still waiting for you to get the paychecks, please invite me to eat it. "
Chen Yanlu paused for a moment, and then walked quickly to the front of Xia Bing, and I clenched my fists.
Xia Bing suddenly turned back and said, "Homi, will you wait outside for a while?"
I nodded, and the two of them walked into the front room inside the courtyard. I began to carefully survey the environment inside this.
I didn't pay too much attention when I came in. It was an old-fashioned courtyard, and after entering through the courtyard door, there was an old well with an old mouth, the stones around the edges were starting to turn green, and beside the well, there was a dead peach tree with a wooden bucket hanging with a rope on it.
The rest of the place is stacked with some firewood, nothing special.
Just now the place where Chen Ranlu and Xia Bing walked into, the main room of the hall, I have seen the studio inside, and five or six people dressed in fashionable clothes.
Then Xia Bing and one of the middle-aged woman, kept talking about something, but that middle-aged woman, is a glance without a glance to measure the Chen Ran Lu, I snicker, Chen Ran Lu's current degree of handsomeness, with those eyes and teeth, kill this group of people, no problem.
Sure enough, Xia Bing quickly ran out, then looked at me with a face of adoration and said, "Chen Yanlu's makeup, so it's you who did it, the director has agreed to let him audition for the movie, you, as his make-up artist, stay as well."
Saying that, she then pulled me and walked into the middle of the hall.
There were a total of five people inside, a man in his twenties with long hair was tinkering with the machine, another middle-aged man who was on the chubby side was reading the script, and there were two other people who were obviously ordinary employees who were organizing the props, and my eyelids jumped, their props, surprisingly, was an empty coffin.
The middle-aged woman extended her hand to me and said, "Hello, my name is Hai Mei, are you Bing Bing's friend?"
I nodded and took a closer look at Hai Mei's appearance.
A very standard melon face, although he was old and had crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, he still couldn't hide a temperament.
This temperament, seems to be a bit eerie, I couldn't help but shiver. It was only at this time that I saw that Morning Research Dew had disappeared.
Xia Bing mysteriously pointed behind me, I fiercely turned back, but I saw that Chen Yanlu was putting on a dead face, staring at me with wide bloodshot eyes, I was scared backward, my back broke out in a layer of cold sweat.
Xia Bing laughed out loud, "See, this is the effect, he is simply the perfect character for the thriller theme."
My heartbeat beat wildly, Chen Yanlu proudly patted her chest, then returned to her normal expression, and Xia Bing flaunted at me as if she was offering a treasure, saying, "How about it how about it? Perfect ah."
Hai Mei nodded and said, "It's all good." Saying that, she handed Chen Yanlu a script on one side and said to me on the other, "Both are good, one with godly make-up, and one with a natural skin tone that is suitable for a movie with such a subject."
Xia Bing smiled and said, "This Chen Yanlu will definitely stay, Homi I wanted her to be a peer with me a long time ago, but she just wouldn't agree."
I nodded, but Hai Mei said, "No matter, there is no hurry, Chen Yanlu is no problem, when the time comes, you will definitely still make up for him."
It was only at this time that I came to survey the surroundings of the house.
Empty black coffin, no lid, padded with white cloth, in front of the coffin, placed a case table, also nothing.
Xia Bing mysteriously told me that tonight, let me see how ghost movies are made.
I had a cold shiver, and somewhat regretted bringing Chen Yanlu to this place.
Xia Bing grabbed my hand and said with wide eyes, "You don't want to run." I nodded my head with a sarcastic smile.
Just at this time, the long-haired man from photography suddenly found Chen Yanlu and said he wanted to take a picture of him.
I was a bit puzzled, but Xia Bing told me that it would be used in the script later.
After reading the script for a while, Chen Yanlu found Hai Mei and said, "There should be no problem."
Hai Mei's eyes emitted a bright light of excitement and said, "Look at it more, you can't open the camera yet, and at night, try to get through it at once."
I walked back and forth in the courtyard in boredom, only to find that here, all the doors of the rooms except the main hall, were closed, and the locks on them, were rusted.
I found Xia Bing, who shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know hey, this place was chosen by the director."
I was at noon time to Xia Bing called, came over to spend almost an hour, and then again the morning study Lu and the people inside the communication exchange, now read the script, almost has been four o'clock in the afternoon.
My stomach is a little growling, want to go to eat, but everyone did not move, and this is a suburb, also do not know where to be able to buy food.
Just at this time, the sound of an engine suddenly came from outside the courtyard door, and just as I looked up, two people, carrying a bunch of things, walked in, and Xia Bing said, "The props are here."
I noticed that, in addition to lifting things of two people, there is a dry and thin like a monkey like old man, I swallowed saliva, such old people, you also use? Xia Bing looked at me with contempt and said, "Do you understand? This is not an employee, we are from the Taoist temple inside the city, a master specially invited to help film this clip."
My eyelids fluttered twice, Taoist priests actually came to guest star in the movie.
Xia Bing coldly laughed: "Where in the world can there be ghosts, people scare people."
I hurriedly covered her mouth and carefully looked around.
Xia Bing said impatiently, "Homi are you okay with this? You used to believe in ghosts and gods the least."
I nodded, and suddenly realized that the dry and thin old man from earlier had changed into a yellow Taoist robe and put on a hat, not to mention, it really looked like that.
In front of the coffin was placed a four-square old table, black dirt I don't know how many years to be able to accumulate. Incense was inserted inside a small round pot filled with incense ash. Two red candles were placed on both sides, and I almost didn't bite my tongue when I saw the posthumous photo frame at the back.
The black and white photo of Chen Yanlu was lying quietly inside the frame, looking forward without expression.
Several people began to organize all the things at the scene, Chen Yanlu also began to change clothes, because of the reason of the venue, inside the courtyard, put on a white big convergence of clothes.
After we finished organizing everything, the sky was already dark, and Hai Mei instructed Chen Yanlu to lie down inside the coffin. My scalp was numb, and goose bumps appeared on my body.
Xia Bing pulled me and walked to the courtyard next to the well, where the angle was just enough to see all the surroundings of the house.
"You've seen a lot today, tsk tsk." Xia Bing deflated. I didn't reply with a dry smile.
Hai Mei stood next to the long-haired photographer, who made an OK gesture after mobilizing the machine.
Xia Bing signaled me to never say anything later or it would affect the filming.
I nodded and watched the scene in the room without looking away.
The dry and thin old man, lit incense and candles, and then took a peach wood sword, stood next to the desk, signaling that you can start.
I saw the remains of the morning research dew, I can not say that the twist, the light suddenly darkened. My scalp went numb, and Xia Bing nodded my waist and said, "For effect."
The whole yard inside only the cold moonlight, the house is dark with a little bit of yellow candle light, jumping flames, to the remains of the photo has added three bizarre.
The old Taoist kept waving the peach wood sword, around the coffin of the morning research dew, back and forth non-stop walking.
I clenched my palms and swallowed my saliva, how is Chen Yanlu's mood now?
I was still looking closely inside, everyone's attention was there.
Just at this time, the candle flame inside the room suddenly slowly swayed, the old Taoist priest suddenly put his hand into his bosom, pulled out a handful of meditative paper, threw it to the sky at once, and then recited some words.
Candle flame all of a sudden calm and motionless again. I frowned as I watched, just now the candle flame jumped, I heard the sound of the machine blowing wind. This quiet environment, even breathing, can be heard.
Turned his head, Xia Bing is also a face carefully look at everything inside, just at this time, the Taoist priest suddenly bellowed, the table inside the room suddenly shook, clanging sound like ringing in my heart, the candle flame shook violently, even the remains of the photo frame of the morning research dew, also began to shake violently, I associated with the year the cat in the dormitory inside the quilt to watch the ghost movie when the scene.
Almost all of the clips with ghosts appearing, are such a plot, but, for me, it's still scary ah.
I only heard the old Taoist priest let out a cold snort, and then swung out his mahogany sword.
The other thing that stared wide-eyed was that with a soft sound of a poof, the tip of the sword was firmly inserted a few inches in front of the remains of the Morning Research Dew.
The shaking table, all of a sudden, smoothed out.
The old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief, then was about to go forward to light the incense, when just at this time, a gust of wind blew up. The candle flame in the room jumped desperately, the table began to shake violently again, the old Taoist's face changed greatly, just as the candle flame jumped most violently, the incense ash in the tripod overflowed most of the way. The last photo and the mahogany sword on the wooden table were about to fall when there was a soft bang.
I almost didn't bite my tongue off at once.
Chen Yanyulu bounced her upper body straight up from inside the coffin, her two bloodshot eyes, looking dead ahead in the direction, her pale face, without a trace of blood under the faint candlelight.
The old Taoist let out a miserable scream, and then rolled out of the room with his buttocks pissing.
"Cut!"
Just at this time, suddenly I felt a little bit of slightly cool wind blowing by my ear, and immediately my scalp went numb and I immediately turned back to my head. But it was empty without seeing anything.
The lights came on, but Xia Bing was the first to walk over, then greeted me, "Come see the pilot?"
My heart sank a little, just now it couldn't have been Xia Bing blowing in my ear, I looked at the well behind me with a pale face, shivered, and quickly ran under the studio.
Now that the lights were turned on, the eerie scene from earlier was driven off quite a bit at once, and Chen Yanlu was wearing a white converse, standing next to me with a smile on his face, and then raised his hands and said in a trembling voice, "Give me back my life~"
I didn't have the good sense to push him, I didn't expect Xia Bing unexpectedly did not rely on it, said: "You don't push him, in case of push bad, can pay for one?"
The camera opened the playback, honestly, just shot the process, because I know everything, are artificial, not so scared. But see the camera inside, but really another feeling, the whole heart, are about to be lifted up. After the shot ended, Hai Mei exhaled fiercely and said, "Very good, very good. Today's shooting was very successful, Chen Yanlu, you continue to come over tomorrow, right, everyone didn't eat anything at night, I'll be the host later."
Hai Mei said while signaling the crowd to start packing up, except for that chubby screenwriter, whose face was a bit unsightly.
Hai Mei looked at him with a puzzled face and said, "What's wrong? You think there's a problem?"
The screenwriter shook his head with an odd face, then raised a switch in his hand and said, "Except for the first wind, which is controlled by me , the ones after that, are all natural. Moreover, that last wind, it was on the high side, if it were me, it would be impossible to use that much hanging wind." Speaking here, he took a deep breath and said, "Today's movie, it's the best segment I've watched in the last few years, and with a bit of sound effects done later, it's definitely the most awesome thriller of the year."
I, however, listened to his words, and a cold sweat began to break out on my back, remembering the breeze that was blown across my ears just now when I was at the entrance of the well.
Chen Yanlu took off his costume, then asked me with a smile, saying, "Not bad, right?"
I nodded with an unnatural face, soon, all the things of the crowd were packed up, specifically the things in the courtyard, the room, because tomorrow will continue to use, in order to ensure that not out of the first horse feet, temporarily do not move them.
Outside the courtyard there are three cars, in addition to the black jeep of the morning research dew, there is a white Audi, is the sea close.
White Land Rover, is the fat screenwriter's.
Before Hai Mei got into the car, she found me and Chen Ranlu, and said appreciatively, "Chen Ranlu is very good, I know that you are nervous about writing your college papers, and you have less time, but if you take this opportunity, it's completely possible to jump out of school, Homi, you think about it."
After saying that, she went straight to her car, and Chen Yanlu shrugged and got into the driver's seat.
Just as I was about to get into the car, Xia Bing suddenly appeared, one step ahead of me, and got into the passenger seat, and then looked at me with a smiling wink.
I came to a sudden realization, and in the midst of Chen Yanlu's grudging gaze, I ran to Hai Mei's car, then knocked on the window and somewhat embarrassedly said, "Can I take a ride in your car first."
She smiled thoughtfully, and I awkwardly got into the passenger seat.
