Chapter 4 Sweet Shooting with Scarlet Witch
Elizabeth Olsen's heart froze.
In her impression, the heroine of the movie should be a very strong character.
In a wide and professionally built studio, the film crew consists of hundreds of people.
A number of actors perform together.
It is better to be an action, sci-fi blockbuster, or a low-budget romantic comedy, a drama with strong artistry.
These are all good options.
As a result, I went back to the apartment and turned on the computer that day, and glanced at the script sent by director Chu Xuan.
Elizabeth Olsen sighed with a wry smile.
Horror film? And the scene is very simple, with only two actors 80% of the time.
There are no strange ghosts and legendary monsters in the plot, it seems that the house is just haunted.
On top of that, there seems to be only one DV at the camera position?
You should at least be equipped with a professional camera, with some photography, lighting, and art teams, right?
The result is just an ordinary DV.
It doesn't look like a movie at all, it's a playful home video.
This thing, a 3-year-old child can shoot with a DV!
And if the Asian guy is the director, he is too young, right?
There is no work before, even on google...
"Wait...he seems to be the idol group of Long Kingdom, a singer and dancer?"
Google found some news reports from the East.
Ao Mei also thought that Chu Xuan was a North American Chinese, and his English was very authentic.
It turned out that he was really from the Dragon Kingdom, and he was also a banned idol.
Chu Xuan looks even more unreliable.
If it weren't for the little brother's attractive appearance, coupled with his sincere eyes.
Elizabeth Olsen had long since refused.
"I chose to act, not because he is handsome! But because there is no drama to film... Yes, that's it."
Anyway, I don't have a job, so it's a big deal for a few days of filming.
It only takes 1 week to shoot, and she can get a salary of 3,000 US dollars, which is much more cost-effective than her part-time job.
So Ao Mei only hesitated for 1 minute and agreed on the spot.
She doesn't have an agent yet, so she can decide on her own.
"Hello, Mr. Chu, I have decided to join this team."
"Okay, welcome, Elizabeth."
"Just call me Lizzie."
"Okay Olson."
"..."
"By the way, have you read the script?"
"I haven't read it yet, but I'm ready to read it now."
"You dare to take it without seeing it, it's amazing."
"Emmm..."
Ao Mei could not laugh or cry.
It's not because the heroine you mentioned is too tempting.
Hanging up the phone, Ao Mei started from the first line and carefully read the script of "Smart: Ghost Recording".
...
"Baby, what's wrong?"
July 15, 2006
San Diego, California.
"What's that? Your new camera?"
...
"My God? Oh mai!"
"I want to film everything, and if something weird happens, I can record it in time for future generations."
...
"what sound?"
"I'll go take a look."
"Don't go! That sound is so weird!"
"Damn! Omg! Omg!"
"There are only footprints coming in, no footprints going out!"
"I can feel it, feel it breathing..."
"Micah, run away! Please, run away!"
"Fu*k!!!"
...
The script is simple, mostly just a conversation between young couple Micah and Katie.
Aomei didn't think anything at first, it was just the sweet daily life of a young couple.
She looked even a little like to fall in love.
Unconsciously, I brought myself and Director Chu Xuan into two roles.
As a result, the further back I looked, Aomei gradually felt a little depressed.
It even felt a little chilly on a sultry summer evening!
Ao Mei suddenly regretted, why would she watch a horror movie script at night?
No way, in order to start shooting as soon as possible, she had to read through the script tonight.
So Aomei turned on the lights in all the rooms and went back to the desk to continue watching.
The more she watched, the more nervous she became, especially when the camera recorded some weird scenes in the story.
Ao Mei even felt that someone was watching her in her house!
Holding back the trembling, she gradually saw the end of the story.
The last scene was just text, which also made Ao Mei's brain fill up with a terrifying picture.
She was so scared that she almost pushed the computer to the ground!
"Damn it! I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
...
At noon the next day, Chu Xuan drove his rented Chevrolet 1967 Impala muscle car to the downstairs of Aomei's apartment.
They will go to the shooting location, a vacant 2-story hut to step on the spot, and by the way, let's go through the plot.
Tomorrow will officially start shooting, everything has to hurry up.
It didn't take long for him to see Ao Mei, who had put on makeup and was wearing a simple white t-shirt, going downstairs listlessly.
At the age of 22, she should be young and energetic, why is she so haggard and dark circles under her eyes?
"Olson, haven't you slept yet?"
"Yes, it's all because of your script that I can't sleep all night."
Aomei pouted aggrievedly, leaning on the passenger seat and falling asleep.
"Then go to sleep, I'll call you when I get there."
"Okay, Micah."
Aomei saw that she was really sleepy, she murmured her head up and fell asleep.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the beautiful face that was in deep sleep.
"This girl must have been reading the script all night, and she actually called me the hero of the movie..."*
