Facing this small interlude, Director Fat Boy didn't stop them.
Because the male lead in the movie was a detective full of curiosity, and at the same time, there was no lack of kind-hearted people. It could be said that the character was quite perfect and had many shining points.
However, the evil male lead played by Zong Jiu was not only fickle and evil, but he was also very good at acting.
This acting generally meant that he always put on airs and looked cold on the outside, like a flower on the top of a mountain, but in reality, he was incomparably promiscuous. It could be seen from the two passionate scenes in the script.
Therefore, according to this character's personality, it was normal that the evil male lead didn't like the detective.
Because the detective was down and out, the trench coat he wore was very old, and even his socks were not the same color. It would be strange if the evil male lead, who had his sights set on the rich second generation, liked such a person.
Therefore, after this small interlude, the five actors finally entered the abandoned castle.
Different from the light outside, the castle was pitch black, and the places where the light swept were all tattered.
In fact, it was a bit difficult to get into character on set because there were countless camera positions around the actors. Some of the camera positions were raised in the air, and there were also cameras that were raised. A large group of staff and cameramen stood in front of them.
If you wanted to immerse yourself in the movie, you had to first ignore these people who were staring at you.
But this time, it was not necessary.
Not sure if the director had instructed the stage crew, but all kinds of cameras were set up in the castle. The staff didn't need to carry the heavy Stanikon to film, they only needed to leave one to follow the movie king, and the other supporting roles could be filmed independently.
In summary, the staff had remote monitoring. In such a large castle, other than the actors, there would be no other unrelated people who could interfere with the actors' performance.
Zong Jiu didn't know the specific process of shooting a movie, but since this was a horror dungeon, it was normal for strange things to happen. Moreover, this development … was just right for a horror dungeon.
"Why is it so dark, is there a fire?"
Just as he was thinking to himself, Fat House, the most explosive person in the team, spoke.
However, it was obvious that Fat House's eyes were still glancing at Zong Jiu when he asked this question. It was obvious that he wanted to show off in front of his idol.
"If I can find the power source for this castle, maybe I can try to fix it."
The Fat House was an electrician's specialty. In addition, there were still people living in the castle when the unsolved case happened a few years ago, so it was unlikely that there would be no electricity.
However, Zong Jiu did not say anything. He did not even look at him. Instead, he walked to the side, his beautiful profile flickering in and out of the darkness and the dim light.
The Movie King immediately answered, "The power switch seems to be over there."
"I'll go with you to take a look?"
He held a dim flashlight in his hand and relied on it for illumination. The light from the end of the flashlight fell on the dark wall in the distance, illuminating the abandoned and broken electric switch.
When the director said "action," Best Actor Ye's aura and vibe changed. He went from a refined and elegant man to a detective who was curious about the current situation, eager to help others, and full of keen intuition.
Then, they fiddled with the old light switch for a while and it slowly came on, illuminating the large hall that was covered in cobwebs.
This was the director's arrangement. All the actors knew about it, but on the surface, they still had to cooperate and cry out in surprise.
Fat House rubbed his hands and jogged over. His eyes kept glancing at Zong Jiu.
From the corner of his eyes, Zong Jiu saw the darkness around Fat House's pupils thicken.
This was not acting. This was completely acting.
As expected of the Evil God's curse. Just like the system said, it spread like a plague and was extremely powerful.
Zong Jiu realized that the weaker the person's self-control was, the more obvious the effects of the curse would be and the deeper the effect on them.
He just didn't know what it would be like when their pupils turned completely black.
At this moment, the rich kid suddenly said, "There are two levels here. How about this? Let's explore the castle together and then move in groups."
Everyone expressed their agreement and agreed.
"Okay! Cut — — "
The director shouted "cut" in front of the screen outside the castle. The lights came on and the first scene was over.
There was a fifteen-minute break before the second scene began.
The makeup artist carried a basket and went up to touch up everyone's makeup. Only Zong Jiu stood there alone.
With the help of the spotlights, he could clearly see the general appearance of the castle.
Outside were lush trees and bushes. The shadows of the trees danced and cast a silvery light.
The living room was gray and the carpet was covered in dust. Many of the decorative patterns on the walls had peeled off. Not to mention the cobwebs that were everywhere on the furniture. It was as if no one had lived here for a long time.
Zong Jiu was a little concerned about the rich kid just now.
According to the script, the rich kid was possessed by the evil spirit in the castle. He often dreamed of coming here at midnight and couldn't sleep well, so he decided to come here to investigate.
But in reality, the rich kid was bait for the evil spirit. By luring him here, he was actually providing a fresh body for the evil spirit to revive. Other than that, there was no other effect. In the end, the rich kid ended up being possessed by the ghost. Then, while the detective's assistant wasn't paying attention, he killed him with a knife.
If the evil spirit in the castle really existed, then wouldn't the rich kid have been possessed long ago?
Unfortunately, Zong Jiu couldn't open his system backpack and take out a tool to detect resentment. It was difficult for him to move forward and he could only take one step at a time.
At this moment, the conversation between Best Actor Ye and Director Li finally ended.
The two of them seemed to be discussing something important. Then, the director announced loudly, "Everyone, gather around. Brother Ye just gave a good suggestion."
The director pointed at a camera and commented seriously, "The first scene just now had the simplest plot and the calmest emotions. It's also a buffer for everyone, especially the newcomers. So far, under Brother Ye's guidance, you've all gotten into character very quickly. Not bad. "
"But the next few scenes won't be easy to shoot."
Director Fatty made full use of the saying, "As everyone knows, something came up with the actor who played the ghost tonight and he couldn't make it. So, we can only shoot a few scenes from the script today. We'll have to ask Brother Ye to come back to the crew in the future to make up for the rest of the solo scenes."
Fortunately, there weren't any malicious ghosts in these few scenes, so the crew made a few realistic props and placed them in the castle. When the time came, they just had to follow the script.
But that was where the problem lay.
In a horror movie, whether a ghost was scary or not was also a highlight. A ghost with perfect makeup could not only make the audience feel scared, but it could also make the actors quickly get into character.
The director's meaning was obvious.
Because the actor playing the ghost wasn't there, the following scenes had higher requirements for the actors, especially for the third and fifth scenes.
When it came to the fourth scene, the gazes that fell on Zong Jiu became even more unrestrained.
Perhaps it was because of the light and the crowd, but some of the gazes were especially naked.
The third scene was changed to a passionate scene between Zong Jiu and Best Actor Ye. Because it was changed in a hurry, the scriptwriter didn't have time to write the details, so Best Actor Ye said it was fine without a detailed script. After all, he was a senior and had experience, so he could help the newcomers get into character.
The fifth scene was the highlight of Zong Jiu's supporting role. He had to complete the entire passionate scene alone without another ghost actor.
"Brother Ye means that this lacks the atmosphere of the character. So for the next three scenes, the crew won't follow the actors inside the castle. Instead, they'll film from afar to make it easier for everyone to get into character."
Since the Best Actor Ye had spoken, no one dared to disobey. Naturally, everyone agreed in unison.
Only Zong Jiu remained silent.
Filming from afar and it was a scary dungeon. What was the difference between that and putting meat in a tiger's cage?
A Best Actor Ye with bad intentions and resentment; a rich second generation with signs of being possessed by evil spirits. Either of them could be the mastermind behind this dungeon.
After a short break, the second scene began.
The second scene was a group of five. They would explore the castle from the first floor to the second floor. After figuring out the general topography and finding some traces, the plot would be considered to be over.
Before filming began, the director specifically said, "If there are any problems, you can just call a pause through the invisible headset. The crew will come in and take care of the rest. But try not to do it. Try not to make any mistakes throughout the night. Don't waste Brother Ye's time. "
"As long as the director doesn't call a pause through the headset, it means there are no problems. You can continue acting."
Thus, everyone went back to their positions.
Creak — —
After packing up, the heavy wooden door in the castle hall was slammed shut, kicking up a cloud of dust on the carpet.
Director Fatty was right about that. After sealing up the entire place, the scary atmosphere was immediately released. The supporting actor who played the dead Fat House even trembled.
As the sound of the start of filming came from the headset, the Best Actor immediately got into character. He turned around and said, "I think this brother's suggestion is good. It's getting dark, let's go take a look around. "
Thus, everyone nodded and walked into the depths of the castle together with their flashlights.
But this time, Zong Jiu walked next to the rich second generation and used his peripheral vision to observe the rich second generation.
This rich second generation actor should be someone with a strong mind. Although he was also drooling over the beauty under the curse, his appearance was far less revealing than Fat House's.
Soon, it would be Zong Jiu's second solo scene.
When he reached the bathroom, he paused for a moment before speaking according to the script.
"Wait a second, I'll go wash my hands."
When Zong Jiu stepped into the castle, he felt an abnormal heat in his chest.
He went to the bathroom to follow the script, but he also wanted to avoid everyone and see what was going on with him.
Soon, in the dirty bathroom mirror, Zong Jiu saw a strange pattern suddenly appear on his collarbone.
