The words were written on the ground. Lu Ban was not sure whether they existed before, but at this moment, he saw that the words seemed to have been written on the ground for a long time and were difficult to erase and destroy.
Lu Ban raised his hand and saw some silver words floating above, forming some instructions.
[Words are something that can convey information. They are created by humans and are simple and practical! ]
[From Feng Yu’s handwriting, she wrote this passage herself]
At least now, she is still alive
Lu Ban confirmed that this was written by Feng Yu, and not by the being who controlled her phone to deceive him.
Then the meaning of these words becomes interesting.
"Camera, don't stop?"
Lu Ban glanced at the camera in Scott's hand. Feng Yu knew that he was with a group of college students who were filming a movie, so he reminded himself that it would be best to keep recording?
He quickly thought of the rules of strange things.
The current situation, the condition of the citizens of Miskatoke, is hard not to think that it is affected by something strange. So, perhaps one of the rules of this strange thing is to keep the camera running.
But Scott had been filming Wes and couldn't stop these citizens.
Lu Ban felt confused.
He squatted down and put his hands on the ground.
Some silver words appeared.
[The plain land is not very suitable for farming. ]
[It's hard to step on, isn't that a natural thing? ]
[It’s best not to have unreasonable thoughts, it will hurt. ]
Nothing remarkable, nothing noteworthy.
Lu Ban also stretched out his hand and rubbed the ground.
"It does hurt a bit."
He agreed with the views expressed in these texts.
When he stood up, Scott had already returned to Lu Ban and Weiss who were sitting on the ground with a notebook.
"Here, this is our script. However, James advocates on-the-spot performance. This script has very few lines. We strive for a realistic on-the-spot performance."
Scott handed the script to Lu Ban and explained.
Lu Ban took a look at it and found it was indeed quite simple.
There's just a simple horror story plot that any college student could write.
A group of students were preparing to shoot a horror movie related to the film festival. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Miskatoke, they were actually attacked by monsters. The film will be shot from a first-person perspective with a handheld camera to record the final experiences of these students.
There are indeed some marked contents, such as "the protagonist is surrounded by a group of citizens and has difficulty escaping", "a terrifying incident occurs in the hotel at night and the protagonist hears strange noises", "a chase in the underground parking lot and character sacrifice", and "the protagonists who escaped hugged and cried at dawn" and other classic horror movie plots.
There are almost no lines, let alone a proper script; everything depends entirely on live performance.
This is not to say that the director of the film is a newcomer who knows nothing, but quite the opposite. The plot is originally about a group of college students preparing to shoot a horror movie, so recording their words and actions with the camera becomes the best movie material. What acting method can be more realistic than actually doing it?
Of course, without a fixed script there will be problems that cannot be resolved after filming, so many low-budget movies will have a liberating ending, which is better than 80 to 90 percent of other movies.
It seems that director James is quite a believer in improvisation.
Similar jokes are often circulated in the circle of movie lovers, such as that a certain finishing touch of shot and dialogue is the actor's impromptu performance, just like the shot where the Joker failed to press the blasting button in the hospital for the first time, and then kept pressing it frantically.
Therefore, many novice directors would like to discover this kind of impromptu performance.
Excellent improvisation and acting without a script are certainly great skills, but if the actors and directors do not have sufficient accumulation, a deep understanding of film shooting, and cannot perform well with a script, then this temporary addition of drama can only be a cliché.
Naturally, Lu Ban had nothing good to comment on, and he just secretly took note of some of the following plot points in the script.
It looks like they're going to make a metaphysical horror film where the protagonists are chased by unknown monsters, and from that point of view, it's not bad.
As we all know, North America is a well-known gathering place for zombie enthusiasts. So much so that at least eight out of ten B-level movies here are zombie movies. Even serious movies and TV series also have many zombie themes.
Many of the zombies in these works are no longer ordinary in appearance as the series progresses. They can run, jump, and even have superpowers, which is normal.
According to the zombie grid, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is also a zombie movie, with the massive invasion of undead creatures, the intrigues of humans in the face of foreign enemies, and the eventual victory over the zombies. All the classic elements of various zombie movies are available, and even the bad ending of the series is in line with the original.
Lu Ban feels that the fact that these college students from Boston chose to make a horror movie without zombies is a big step forward for mankind.
After returning the script to Scott, Lu Ban took another look at the camera in his hand.
"Your camera can be used for filming now. Perhaps it will be an interesting plot for this group of college students to find that their own scripts are constantly being fulfilled."
"...Yes, just like "In the Mouth of a Madman"!"
Scott picked up the camera and filmed Wes.
"Go away and leave me alone."
Wes waved his hands. He was not in the mood to make a movie. The experience just now made him feel as if he had almost died. Wes pulled up his sleeves to check the position where he was caught by the citizens.
Then, Weiss discovered that there were dark handprints there, as if an ink-stained hand had grabbed it.
He tried to wipe them off, but found that the black bruises seemed to have been carved into his skin and were difficult to erase.
Although he didn't feel any pain, these handprints gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, and Wes felt a palpitation.
After rubbing for a while, he suddenly found that the bruises seemed to have spread a little bit, moving up along the arm to the upper arm.
Weiss rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Scott's camera turned again.
"I told you to stop filming."
Weiss immediately pulled up his sleeves and raised his hands to block the view.
"But Director Lu Ban asked me not to stop filming."
Scott turned the camera towards Lu Ban.
"Yes, no matter what, don't stop the camera."
Lu Ban warned.
He looked again at the second sentence Feng Yu left.
【I'll wait for you at the end】
The meaning of this sentence is worth pondering.
Is the ending here related to the previous one: Don’t stop shooting?
Does that mean that if this movie is completed, Lu Ban will be able to meet Feng Yu?
If Feng Yu could have anticipated this, her situation would not have been so critical.
How did she leave the record?
Lu Ban felt that there were still many problems in this and this city.
With this in mind, he came up with a plan.
