Lost Narrative Poetry

As a late-night program with extensive operating experience, the film crew naturally knew the subject matter to be filmed next.

There are definitely no urban legends, but they themselves are not here to explore the authenticity of the supernatural world. The positioning of this program has been very clear from the beginning, which is to use supernatural factors such as urban legends as gimmicks to attract attention and target Design a prank plan according to your needs, and then see how the target being pranked will react.

This is often what the audience wants to watch. After all, everyone knows what is going on, but the audience who choose to watch such a program originally do so to satisfy their curiosity rather than to get closer to science. Let’s see how the film crew rationally explores the truth and restores the facts.

Therefore, the program team avoided some troublesome areas. It can be said that it was a very clever trick. It not only used the topicality of supernatural factors to attract the attention of the audience, but did not go into some sensitive areas in depth. For example, there were no Choose to explore the truth and falsehood behind urban legends.

——Cleverly uses urban legends and supernatural rumors to arouse the audience's interest, while avoiding directions that can easily make people lose interest, and avoids talking about the truth or falsehood.

Since it was a program recording, it was natural that we had communicated with the relevant venues and personnel in advance and made various preparations, so the on-site staff had arranged everything early and completed it without any difficulties. Preparation.

Because it is not difficult at all. It is to install cameras and sound collection equipment in the upcoming carriage to ensure that filming and recording can be done from all angles. It can not only capture the behavioral reactions of the pranked objects in the car, but also capture the The scene outside the carriage...

After all, if it is to be turned into a program, it cannot be too simple. If the series of preparations and arrangements they made around this theme are not filmed, then there will be nothing to watch.

We need to look at both the reaction to being scared and the specific process of being scared.

You can't really just focus the camera on the "victims" and film their facial expressions from beginning to end. As for what they encountered and what they saw, it is not shown at all... the audience is confused. As for water, it is absolutely impossible to buy it.

All in all, not long after the program crew arranged everything, the taxi that arranged for the "victim" to take the "victim" happened to appear at the end of the road.

- So far so good.

"It's time to get ready. Everyone, cheer up. We'll finish filming early and go home early. Be more careful. If you pass this one and can be selected, everyone will get a bonus..."

In the observation room inside the platform, the director clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the staff present, and shouted loudly.

Then he remembered something again, and turned to look at the assistant behind him: "By the way, have all the extras you found this time been confirmed? There won't be any problems, right? Don't be like last time, although Nothing happened, but the station also gave a warning..."

The young assistant who just took office nodded repeatedly: "We have confirmed it. Neither of them has a history of heart disease, and they have signed a contract... Do you want to take a look at the relevant documents first?"

She is more concerned about this matter. After all, her previous assistant failed because of carelessness, and she was able to get the chance to take over.

"Well, that's good. Show me the file." The director nodded, but he was not completely reassured and prepared to confirm it himself.

The extras only know where to go, and the subsequent encounters are all basic things arranged by the program team in advance. As for the specific script, there is no specific script, and they are allowed to play freely with lines and the like.

This is mainly because it is difficult for even professional actors to do it again, let alone unprofessional extras. It is better not to use specific scripts to constrain them, so that they know the truth but are not completely sure of what will happen.

In this way, their on-the-spot reactions will at least appear more real. In this way, as long as the whole process is long enough, some usable shots can be edited out.

However, in this case, the extras may still be scared several times, so it is necessary to take adequate risk avoidance measures... Although it is just a prank show, it cannot directly randomly select passers-by to scare, otherwise If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility.

…

…

"Is this where it is?"

Not long after, a man and a woman got out of the taxi. They looked at the lonely waiting platform with lights on in the middle of the night. They took a deep breath. They looked at each other and then walked forward slowly.

"What should we do next?" the woman asked.

"I don't know. Anyway, just think of us as normal people taking the train home. They have said it before..." The man said casually, "Don't deliberately be careful about anything, like this We will definitely not pass the test, so we can just pretend we don’t know anything.”

"But how should I pretend? I don't know how..." The woman still seemed a little nervous and asked quickly.

"Just don't ask these questions, just like us in our usual normal state... Okay, here we are, remember not to ask." The man sighed with a headache, waved his hand helplessly, and subconsciously speeded up steps.

He realized that if he continued like this, there would be no end. His girlfriend was good at everything except this.

Most of the time, no matter how she told her, she would still be nervous, and she would have to keep asking questions. It didn't mean that she didn't believe others. In fact, she also knew that her boyfriend did not know the details, and it was also his first time. The way to talk about such things is also the key point explained by the staff of the program team at the beginning...

But she just couldn't calm down, as if she felt that as long as she kept asking, she would be able to get a more specific and accurate answer, which would make her feel at ease.

Maybe she did relieve the pressure, but the pressure was transferred to others. For example, the man felt that his head was getting big.

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the platform and found that there were indeed very few people waiting for the train at this late night time. At this moment, there were only four people waiting quietly on the platform, and two of them seemed to have played until this time before returning. The boys at home were obviously friends, carrying backpacks and whispering to each other in a low voice.

The other pair seemed to be just like them, they also looked like a couple. Under the coat was a set of T-shirts that were clearly a couple's outfit, with a big Mickey Mouse face printed on them.

——Are they normal passengers who happened to be waiting for the bus at this time, or were they "NPCs" arranged by the program team?

——Maybe there is another group of "victims" among them?

The man looked at the four people and made some guesses. After all, it was not like he had never watched this late-night show, so of course he knew some of its unchanging routines.

Of course, these routines are often necessary, because the person being pranked can never fully cooperate and takes the bait on his own without any guidance. That would seem too fake.

Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the actors well and deliberately tell some scary rumors and stories in the middle, so as to lead to the following in a reasonable way. Although everyone is an actor, one is in the light and the other is in the dark. In the eyes of the audience, the perception is completely different. They will all feel that the actors of the program are playing tricks on innocent passers-by.

Next, it’s time to wait for the late-night train to arrive at the station.

"..."

"..."

It was quiet on the platform.

But within a few minutes, the two boys who were carrying backpacks, wearing glasses, and looking down at their mobile phones suddenly made a move.

First, one of the boys looked at his phone and suddenly laughed. Then his companion looked over and asked curiously, so he explained:

"Look at the forum, there are people discussing the topic about Kisaragi Station again, and there are also people pretending to be the missing Hasumi-chan, coming out to speak out..."

"Ruyuki Station?" His companion was slightly startled.

"Huh? Don't you know?" the first boy said enthusiastically, "It's that very famous urban legend. It has been circulating for many years. It is said that in 2004, a man named Hasumi A young girl took a train at night and ended up at a non-existent station..."

The two seemed to be whispering, but their voices were just loud enough to be heard by several other people.

There is no need to doubt that these two are definitely the actors that the show team put on the show, but this arrangement still seems too direct and the insertion is a bit stiff. The man exhaled softly, and then subconsciously looked at the other group of couples. The only ones who were not sure yet were these two.

The couple seemed to be listening to the two boys with some concern, or they were listening to the description of the mission scene.

The man looked back and found that his girlfriend was also listening attentively. She seemed very involved and her expression was very nervous, and his face suddenly darkened. He originally wanted to give a warning, but after thinking about it, he felt that this might not be a bad thing.

If she really had to remind her, she might mess up when faced with an unexpected situation arranged by the program team later, and she would be unable to take the role... Although she doesn't know what will happen later, but the program team must always have a sense of proportion. Yes, I have also watched some previous programs, and to be honest, they are just like that.

It’s nothing more than preparing in advance in the carriage——

Play some spooky recorded audio…

There is a staff member acting as a ghost hidden in the car...

Or simply make some arrangements at the stops along the way...

It may seem a bit novel at first, but after watching it too much, it actually becomes very boring. The man thought about it carefully and felt that it must be the same routine, and it would be difficult to really scare people, so he might as well just leave it like this.

"Just like that, regardless of the netizens' stop, Hasumi got into a stranger's car, left her last reply at 3:44 in the morning, and never appeared on 2ch again..." At this time, the boys over there also The popular science has been completed and the specific circumstances of a certain urban legend have been explained.

"Eh? In that case, since Hasumi took the line from Shin Hamamatsu to Shizuoka Prefecture and finally disappeared mysteriously, it is consistent with the line we will take later. If we are lucky, we will be able to take the line later. Will we also see Kisaragi Station?"

The boy's companion said jokingly.

"Haha, if this is really the case, then I would like to take a closer look..." The boy said with a smile, as if he was completely disapproving of it.

This line is really embarrassing, and the foreshadowing is not enough...

The man next to him tried hard not to show a weird expression. He didn't know whether it was due to preconceived psychological reasons or whether the design of the program was too direct and blunt. Anyway, he always found this situation embarrassing.

Fortunately, dazzling car lights suddenly lit up at the end of the track in the distance, and accompanied by a distinct rumble, a long train came from a distance.

Like a silent beast, the train slowly stopped after arriving at the station, and the interior of the carriage was empty without any other passengers.

Several people got on the car one after another without much hesitation, and the compartment door was quickly closed. After a moment, it slowly started up again, accelerated, and quickly rushed into the dark depths like thick fog. The rumbling sound also continued to go away until it disappeared.

at the same time.

In the lounge inside the station, the director looked at the screen in front of him and frowned.

It's not that the signal transmission is unstable, but that the car in the photograph was empty, and there was no sign of anyone getting on the car at all.

The director thought for a moment, then whispered to the person next to him, who quickly left and quickly found the person responsible for these issues.

"Which compartment did you install the equipment in? Have you told them in advance? It seems that they didn't get into the arranged compartment at all!" The director was also unambiguous and asked directly. He thought it should be in a certain communication room. There was a problem at the link.

"Which carriage?" The person in charge of this matter was immediately stunned. "Aren't there only two carriages? Both of them can be photographed..."

"Two carriages?" The director was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, don't local small private railways always have one or two carriages?" The man was also confused, "It's not a large train such as the Shinkansen. How many carriages can it have?"

"..."

"..."

The room suddenly became quiet.

The director opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He finally remembered the scene he saw when he made the planning plan a few days ago and visited the site... It seemed that it was just as the other party said, this kind of place was private. It's true that that kind of painting style is normal——

A small private railway with only one or two carriages, a cable car that sways in the countryside...

So what happened to the large train that was speeding on the track just now? In the dark night as rich as ink, with almost no end in sight, like a sleeping giant...

Subconsciously he lowered his head and looked at the plan in his hand that he had unconsciously squeezed. At this moment, the director suddenly realized how dazzling the large exaggerated fonts on it were.

——"Real alien space experience"!

——"Station and route that don't exist"!

…

…

The train was speeding along the track, and there were only six people sitting in the empty carriage.

Two young men who were obviously internal staff sat together, and opposite was the author's other couple. The man and his girlfriend at the beginning chose to sit in the back, keeping a little distance.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was slightly silent. The man didn't care. He just counted the time silently in his heart and guessed when the program team's arrangements would appear.

"It's really nice to ride an empty train at midnight..."

A boy in front suddenly spoke and expressed such emotion.

"Yes, looking at the darkness outside, sitting on the bright and clanking train, constantly moving forward in the dark night, I really have an indescribable feeling, maybe we are no longer in the ordinary world. Maybe we can see Kisaragi Station later..."

The boy's companion nodded repeatedly.

Has it started yet? The man shrugged, understanding that this was a signal for the program crew to start laying the groundwork. He looked around pretending not to care, and raised his watch to take a look.

But what's embarrassing is that after he pretended not to care and actually secretly increased his vigilance, a long while later, nothing happened.

"..."

"..."

It seemed that the program team was not in such a hurry. The man who felt that his guess was wrong relaxed somewhat and shook his head at the woman next to him. The latter also breathed a sigh of relief, but still held on nervously. My boyfriend's arm.

Then, as time passed by, the carriage was quiet, and even the couple didn't say anything.

Why haven't you started yet? Do they have such good patience? Or do you plan to wait until you and others have completely relaxed before suddenly attacking, so that you can capture a more realistic on-the-spot reaction?

The man felt a little impatient, and as the night deepened, his tiredness began to rise. In addition, the train continued to clang and clang, swaying slightly, and he unconsciously felt that his consciousness became increasingly hazy. , the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

He didn't know how much time had passed. In a daze, he shook his head a few times, opened his eyes again, and looked around sleepily.

The carriage, the lights...

The two pairs of passengers in the front seat, and his girlfriend leaning on his shoulders, sleeping even more deeply than him...

He originally wanted to continue sleeping, but this unfamiliar scenery made him subconsciously confused. He turned his head and looked out of the car window in a daze. He saw that under the deep night, he was surrounded by fields and mountains, and there was no trace of anything. There are no people around, and only the light from the train travels through the endless dark world.

When is it? Not here yet?

Wait, where am I going?

He regained some of his thinking ability, raised his wrist and took a look, his brows slowly wrinkled, and the memories before falling asleep were finally recalled to him one after another.

The man's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He sat up straight in his seat, looked around, hesitated, and asked: "Well... I'm sorry, excuse me, the program... No, the train hasn't arrived yet. ?"

He didn't understand what was going on now. He actually fell asleep for half an hour without knowing it, and no one called him. He didn't know if something happened on the way... His first reaction was to do it himself. Damn it, did you sleep so hard that no one else could wake you up?

A series of man-made supernatural events that happened along the way failed to wake him up?

If not, the recording of this program will be messed up by myself? But why hasn't the train stopped yet?

And for some reason, the four people in the front seat all felt stiff and straight at the moment, as if they were shrouded in some huge fear and did not dare to move. This made the man subconsciously notice a feeling of fear. A foreboding feeling.

In the deathly silence, the four people in the front seat suddenly heard his voice and seemed to be frightened at the same time. After a while, a boy finally turned around with a trembling body and a look on his face. Looking at him blankly.

"No, no, it has not arrived at the station... From before to now, half an hour ago, the train has not stopped at all, and it has never arrived at the next station..."

…

…

In the dim sky and earth, in a world of uncertain light and darkness.

The girl was walking forward numbly, her long straight black hair swaying slightly behind her, but her thoughts were in chaos.

who I am? Where am I? What should I do?

It seemed that something was wrong. The girl was thinking hard unconsciously. Although she seemed to be unable to break through the window paper no matter what, she just felt that there was such a thought dormant in her mind and she could not ignore it...

She didn’t know how long it took, but as if time flew by, or maybe it was just a blink of an eye, she suddenly felt that the thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear.

——I seem to be asleep, so is this in a dream?

In an instant, it was as if a thought became clear, causing the dream to turn into a lucid dream, and the whole world changed, as if it suddenly came to life. The dark and deep tones disappeared, leaving only boundless clouds and mist rolling in the girl's eyes. The feet spread out and spread to the extreme distance.

Vaguely...

There seemed to be countless dark holes looming in the chaotic mist, like stars one after another flickering with uncertain brightness and darkness, rising and shrinking, and the brilliance flowing inside reflected all kinds of strange and bizarre scenes.

"Huh?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, unable to react. The next moment, she felt a clear light like the sun falling from above, piercing the chaotic mist, drowning the rolling clouds, causing flowers to fall from the sky, and golden lotuses to surge from the ground.

She looked up blankly, only to see the boundless clouds and mist being separated to both sides like angry waves. A vast and unbearable golden Buddha was standing in the infinitely high sky, looking indifferently towards the sky. She cast her gaze.

This scene was extremely familiar. The girl was instantly in a mess, and her whole body felt bad.

She found that she seemed to be standing in the palm of a giant Buddha...

So who do you think you are? Monkey?
