Chapter 8： Dude, I will stare at you! (1/2)

After spending a day and effort, I finally renovated the walls of the hall and the bedroom where I was going to use the shooting. Fortunately, with the help of Sister Alba, he could not complete it alone. Now the walls have become snow-white, enough to meet the requirements of the movie.

After sending off Alba ’s younger brother, Wang Yang finished the rest of the cleaning up, took a hot bath, and hurriedly finished the called takeout, a big pizza.

After eating enough, Wang Yang came to the computer desk and started to write the script. When the film ”Smart and Ghost Record” in the later generations was filmed, there was no shaped script. All the lines were created on the spot. This is because of this kind of horror. The focus of the film is not on the lines, but on the scary atmosphere created by the lens, let the audience ”frighten themselves”; and DV movies are very life-like, don't expect any profound and interesting lines, everyday words will do, so the script is not good Write, write a clear story flow, let the actors know what the situation is.

He focused on writing sub-scene scripts, so-called ”director scripts”. Just like cells make up the human body, and the shots make up the movie, this shot after shot is designed by the director, and Wang Yang is now doing these designs. However, since he is the only one in the whole crew, this sub-screen script can be written very simply, he can understand it by himself.

One of the great benefits of the split-screen script is intuitive. For example, when shooting some complicated lenses, such as special effects lenses and lenses that need to be processed through digital technology later, if there is no separate lens script, you have to explain clearly to dozens and hundreds of staff such as actors and photographers. It takes a lot of trouble to get the director to collapse in the end, why don't you understand what I mean?

No one is a roundworm in your stomach. All languages ​​are not as clear as the picture. You draw the lens picture in your heart, and others will know at a glance. At this time, the benefits of the sub-lens script are shown.

However, when studying at the University of South Carolina, Wang Yang also knew the disadvantages of the split-lens script. It was very simple. This way of drawing the split-lens constrained the director ’s creation. With the split-lens script, the director just mechanically painted the content on paper It becomes a lens, but when the story, actors and reality are in contact, there will be many interesting and unpredictable collisions and pictures. At this time, the sub-lens script has become a stumbling block.

”A long time ago, when I understood this, I tore my split-screen script, and from that point on, I tried to avoid drawing the split-screen script as much as possible.” This is what the teacher who teaches the lens, Wang Yang remembers clearly, that The teacher said intoxicated at the time: ”Life itself is richer than everything. When you connect your ideas with reality on the spot, it is a very wonderful feeling.”

Then, the teacher made another joke, which caused the classroom to laugh: ”Of course, you can also fall in love with the split-screen script, because you only need to wait for the photographer to assemble the machine and the actors in place, and then you split the split-screen script. You do n’t even need to watch the monitor! What? Do you ask the actor whether to stand a little to the left or to the right? Let the assistant director solve this problem! I ’m home! ”

Thinking about those classroom life, Wang Yang shook his head and smiled. Although he didn't have much shooting experience, he very much agreed with the teacher. The split-screen script could not become a kind of bondage. Just frame the camera position and visual effects, and then tell everyone your shooting intentions during actual shooting, and give the actor enough room to play. Mastering this flexibility is the best thing a good director should do.

Therefore, Wang Yang ’s sub-scene script is very basic and very current. Only those horror scenes that have been thought about and will not change, he painted on paper, such as the ”dark interior, the TV screen shows strange ghost images”, It ’s just ugly ... well, Wang Yang ’s art teacher gave him the comment that “the composition is beyond imagination, but the talent for painting is insufficient, suitable for learning abstract painting.”

But fortunately, now this sub-lens script only needs him to understand.

Wrote until late at night before Wang Yang fell asleep. The next day, I continued the construction work of the scene. The task was to rent these props to the furniture and appliance rental company. The only one who accompanied me was Joshua. He was sent by Jessica to help him. He drove a blue minivan and prepared Moving furniture; and Jessica is going to audition today, competing for a small role in a comedy movie, and has no time to help.

According to the background of the story, a couple staying in a new home, the furniture in the house does not need to be brand new and it needs to be 80% new. As for the sofa like a few big holes, it is definitely not suitable. Basically, the furnishings of the entire apartment should be changed again, whether it is a sofa, a cabinet, a bed in a bedroom, or a high-end large TV, a refrigerator, etc. If you want to buy these things, there is no cheap one, even if you spend the $ 9,500. Not enough.

Thanks to the person who invented the ”lease”, and even the first person to open a furniture and household appliance rental company. With this rental service, Wang Yang can get those furniture and appliances for a month with very little money. Time, this month is enough for him to shoot ”Smart-Ghost Record”, the original shooting time only took one week.

Wang Yang went to a large furniture and electrical appliance rental company called ”Entrepreneurs”. This company focuses on serving young entrepreneurs and reducing their burden on office appliances; at the same time, it is also oriented to personal families, that is, the couple Wang Yang needs. Double bed and other furniture.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Wang Yang happily picked it up. Furniture and home appliances are available in a single piece or a complete set. There is a sign that says ”$” on it, indicating the monthly rental price.

And Joshua was behind him, touching the sofa idly, touching the chair, and even lying directly on a large bed to sleep on his face.

He didn't talk much along the way, but Wang Yang knew that he was just brewing. Sure enough, when Wang Yang was picking up the sofa, he was sitting at the corner of a sofa, holding his hands on the back of the sofa and talking: ”Brother Now, there are only two of us. Maybe some things need to be clarified. ”

”What's the matter?” Wang Yang looked at him questioningly, and continued to choose among the sofa piles, considering which sofa would give the audience subconscious pressure in the dark.

”I don't know what tricks you are playing, but if you try to hurt my family, you will definitely regret coming to this world.” Joshua put it harshly, but unfortunately the voice tendered him.

Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh, but turned to look at Joshua, and asked his hand, ”Why do you think so? Please, why should I hurt Jessica? How can I hurt Jessica?”

”Oh, I don't know that!” Joshua snorted and said deeply: ”But women are always vulnerable to various injuries. Well, there are many women who have been hurt by me.”

”Wow, really? You can't think your charm is so great? Haha, then you mean, I'm charming?” Wang Yang asked with a smile. Interestingly, for Joshua, he was not angry at all. .

Joshua changed his sitting posture, touched his chin with one hand, looked up and down Wang Yang, and a pair of experts commented, ”Oh, you? The body is not thin, and there are no major defects, but it is attractive. One word is still far away, it can be said that it does not touch it at all! ”He gave Wang Yang a sympathetic expression and shrugged again:” But you know, women are born with a curiosity, they always yearn for some of them Things that I do n’t understand, such as a Chinese with a different skin color and different hair color. ”

In fact, Joshua has never seen her sister Jessica treat a man so enthusiastically. Her attitude towards other men has always been lukewarm and very alert. She said that men think about it 90% of the time Holding the woman's body makes her sick.

Joshua knew the reason. Jessica was very ugly when she was a child and was always ridiculed and bullied by boys of the same age; and as she became more beautiful, boys of the same age all came to nothing and be attentive. . But he couldn't figure out what makes this Yang different, so that Jessica's attitude towards boys changed 180 degrees?

”Joshua, you really think too much. Jessica and I are just good friends.” Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, and asked tentatively: ”I and she just reunited for two days, I even both I wonder if she has a boyfriend? ”

”Why, you want to know?” Joshua raised an eyebrow and laughed: ”Then I will tell you, of course! Jessica is not a child anymore, and is so hot! Oh, the people who are after her Can be ranked from Los Angeles to China, her boyfriend, um, Jack, Jack is really good, he is very handsome, funny, and super athletic, he is the core of the school basketball team, playing the guard swingman Yes, like Michael Jordan. ”

He sighed aloud: ”Do you know? Jessica loves the kind of boys who can play basketball! So their feelings are so good.” He laughed again: ”Anyway, I tell you, man, you are out. ”

”Oh is it?” Wang Yang also couldn't tell the truth of this statement. Although he tends to be fake, Jessica is indeed not 8 years old, she is 17 years old, and she is so beautiful, it is normal to have a boyfriend.

Looking at Joshua's gloating expression, Wang Yang said curiously: ”Brother, why are you hostile to me? Please, like a man, just say anything.”
