my time as a director

"But you can't deal with it like this. It's too exaggerated to make a few dummies pretend to be zombies."

......

The shooting scene was noisy, and even if they were told one by one to keep quiet, there were still noises from time to time.

Radio recording is unrealistic, so it can only be dubbed later, but fortunately, there are no two lines at all.

Clear everything within the scope of the lens, and start shooting when you are ready.

In broad daylight, Liu Ye was leisurely walking along the busiest commercial street in this magical city. There was still no one on the road, only scrapped cars, and the streets on both sides were all quiet.

After wandering all the way, I stopped at the entrance of a video store.

He took out the key, opened the lock, and greeted the two dummies at the door.

"Morning, I'm here so early, is there any movie you want to watch today?"

Of course the dummy ignored him, as soon as the door opened, Heibei ran in first.

"Then I'll go first."

Smiling at the two dummies, Liu Ye held the gun on the armrest and stepped into the video store.

He chatted and laughed with his family members talking to himself, and stunned the onlookers who were eating melons, because they didn't understand what they were acting.

But of course Li Qian didn't care what they thought. After shooting a scene, he transferred to the store to shoot.

This was originally a clothing store, and the owner was also a movie buff, so he agreed to lend it to Li Qian for free for filming, and emptied the store himself first.

In fact, there are several bookstores and audio-visual stores on East Nanjing Road, but none on the first floor. If you shoot upstairs, you don’t need to take real shots at all. You can shoot in a studio.

And you can only feel it on the first floor, and it is a semi-enclosed space when you go upstairs.

There is no TV, and only DVD discs are available to watch movies and TV series, and the male protagonist has the key here, and he is familiar with unlocking the lock as soon as he arrives, obviously he is a frequent visitor.

"Morning."

Naturally, I greeted the dummy owner who was sitting at the counter, and then picked out the CDs on my own. When I met other dummy in the store, I would also say hello and chat, and some even picked them up for them. name.

"It's my birthday in two days, everyone remember to come to my house to get together, I have prepared a big meal."

"That's it, it must come."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your 61-year-old Patus, this time I'm lucky."

Inviting the dummies in the store one by one, Liu Ye continued to choose the CDs of movies and songs he needed on the shelf with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a female dummy in the corner, with a cute back, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, wanting to strike up a conversation but hesitated.

After several sneak peeks, he hesitated to speak, and finally smiled self-deprecatingly, not daring to strike up a conversation, and took the selected plate to the front desk to pay the bill.

Liu Ye raised the plate in his hand, and smiled at the dummy boss, "Last time I finished watching Zhou Xingchi's films, this time I'll buy some Cheng Long's."

As he spoke, he took out the wallet from his pocket, and while taking the money, glanced at the back of the female dummy, leaned against the front desk, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, who is that girl, do you know her?"

Of course the dummy boss couldn't respond to him, Liu Ye took out a few banknotes from his wallet and put them on the counter, finally heaved a long sigh.

"Hey."

This audio-visual store often comes, and some dummies are specially placed over, every time they come, they pretend to be someone and chat with them.

However, after so many years, even if they pretended to be human, they couldn't pretend anymore.

This loneliness is so tiring.

He went out, locked it, and looked at the two dummies at the door.

"I'm done picking, see you next time."

......

A scene takes three hours to shoot.

Fortunately, the audience outside didn't see the indoor part of this scene, otherwise it would be even more strange.

Even the rest of the crew had a particularly weird feeling.

"After shooting so many times, why do I feel that something is wrong all over my body." Liu Ye also felt very uncomfortable after the filming.

"It feels like shooting a ghost movie."

Wen Muye also felt the same way, "If it was filmed at night, it would feel so right."

"There's no time to chat with dummy at night, zombies will entertain you."

Li Qian interrupted their chat, and smiled, "Okay, Brother Ye, bring your dummy friend, we've changed the scene, come back tomorrow morning."

It's almost nine o'clock, and other businesses on the street have to open. They have to go to the next scene to shoot the scene where the zombie boss uses this dummy to ambush Liu Ye.

Chapter 235 The Turning Point

Movies with only one person are rare all over the world, but there are a few.

Tom Hanks' classic "Cast Away" is a movie about surviving alone. Except for other characters appearing at the beginning and end, the main plot is only the male protagonist.

Movies of this type basically have one thing in common, apart from the leading actor, there must be something around him that can accompany him.

There is a volleyball in the rest of my life on a deserted island, and the hero always carries it.

Whether it is an animal or a toy, there must be such a thing that can make people feel their own existence in that extreme environment.

Whether it is the end of the world without people, or the background of the rest of the deserted island without other people, it is important to create an atmosphere of loneliness, but it is also necessary to give the characters a little comfort.

Even if it's not this type of film, it's impossible for the characters to have nothing to communicate with in some nagging and dark art films.

More than 30 years ago, there was a Belgian horror love movie "A Man and His Pig".

But there had to be another character, a sow.

The story is about a lonely man who lives alone on a farm with many eccentricities.

They even got along for a long time day and night, and developed feelings and relationships with the sow. The sow gave birth to his children, a group of piglets.

The male protagonist takes care of the sows and piglets like his wife and children, and feeds them milk.

But the little pig doesn't recognize his father, only the mother pig. Over time, the hero gets more and more disappointed, hangs the group of little pigs, and eats their meat.

Seeing her child being killed by the man she loves, the sow howled in the forest in despair.
