Director Gu, who had seen all kinds of big scenes, couldn't keep up with Jing Ling's thoughts at this moment, "Extras?" It is true that every play cannot be without extras, and "The Lonely Island" is no exception, but the extras in this play are limited to the cruise ship scene at the beginning, and the rest are all the roles of the leading actors. So he didn't understand why Jing Ling came to ask about this at this time.
"Yeah, it's just a minor role." Jing Ling nodded, "My last scene will be shot in a studio, where I'll be killed by a big snake, and then it's game over."
Before his death, Chen Huaimin speculated that they were involved in a bloody hunting game. They were the prey, and the ninth person was the hunter who had been waiting there since early morning. But that is not the case. Everyone on this island is a prey. The game is two-way, and there is also a third party, which is the snake that killed Jing Ling. This is a 1 vs 8 game. There are 8 people on the hero and heroine's side, but Jing Ling has only one. In order to make up for the difference in numbers, he was arranged to this island in advance to familiarize himself with the environment. At the same time, someone behind him reminded him of the existence and location of the giant snake. One of the members of the hero and heroine's side was unlucky enough to encounter the giant snake and was killed.
The ninth person played by Jing Ling needs to kill all the eight people sent up this time before he can leave alive. But halfway through the game, the person behind the scenes changed his mind, so there was a scene where he killed Chen Huaimin and left, then came back. He had simply killed the previous few people, but this time he went against his usual practice and dismembered them, which was the request of the person behind the scenes.
This is a foreshadowing for the sequel. After the ninth person died, the male and female protagonists became new hunters, waiting for the next batch of prey.
"The big snake here will be added in through special effects in later stage, right? Although Director Gu, your films are never short of money, it is also a fact that our special effects level has always been hard to describe. So Director Gu, do you want to consider not using special effects and shooting on location instead?" Jing Ling made a sincere suggestion.
"Use real scenes instead of special effects? That's a giant snake that can swallow people. Where can you find it? Even if it really exists, would you dare to act if I dare to shoot it?" The director looked at him expressionlessly.
Jing Ling nodded, "Why not? Director, wait a minute, I'll show you something." As he spoke, he unlocked his phone and called Jiang Siyang. After two beeps, the call was connected, "Little bastard..."
"Instructor, please stop scolding me. Do me a favor and give me a copy of the surveillance video you shot." Jing Ling interrupted the other party.
Jiang Siyang on the other end of the phone snorted coldly and said firmly, "No help!"
Jing Ling was not surprised at all, "Do me a favor and I'll promise to get those two little guys away."
Jiang Siyang was silent for a moment after hearing this, "...Okay, you wait."
Jing Ling half-invited and half-dragged Director Gu to sit in front of the laptop, and after receiving the surveillance video sent by Jiang Siyang, he clicked to play. The video is not long, only a few minutes, and it is a scene that Jiang Siyang specially edited to show the appearance of the big snake.
Director Gu was originally full of question marks, wondering if he was out of touch with today's society. The generation gap was too big and he couldn't understand what young people were thinking. After watching the surveillance video, he felt that the generation gap was extremely large, so large that his heart could not bear it.
"Director, do you need quick-acting heart pills? I have them with me." Jing Ling closed his notebook and joked.
Director Gu took a deep breath, calmed down, and rolled his eyes at him without any hesitation, "Young man, you are causing trouble, do you know that?"
Jing Ling spoke without pause, "Xiao Hui is a very obedient director, believe me, did you see the little tiger lying in the bushes? That's Xiao Hui's wife, the South China tiger that was widely circulated on the Internet some time ago. Maybe life in the mountains is not easy, so they have to come down from the mountains to make a living. When they passed by the army, they begged for a few meals, but they were quickly rejected because of their big appetite. Now they urgently need a job to support themselves! Director, can you bear to watch this young couple from the deep mountains starve to death because they can't find a job? They don't want wages, they just need food!"
Director Gu showed good self-restraint in his daily life, except when he was quite emotional during filming. But at this moment, he could not suppress the wild power in his heart at all. He raised his hand and pointed at Jing Ling's nose, "A tiger and a snake can be a pair, and they can go down the mountain to work to make a living, and they can play supporting roles to make a living? If you are so capable, why don't you become a screenwriter?! Oh, no, those screenwriters nowadays don't dare to write like you, you really think that real life is the end of the novel of Lu Jiang! After the filming, you are so bold that you are here to make fun of me, right? Believe it or not, I will let you reshoot it?! Go play somewhere else!"
Director Gu's nickname, Gu Mengmeng, is not just a random name. When he is angry, his eyes widen and his cheeks puff out, which combines with his round face and plump figure, making him really cute. But this has to be during times other than filming. When he gets angry during filming, he can yell at you so hard that you'll doubt your life.
"God knows, Director Gu, you are so cute, how could I bear to make fun of you? I'm serious! I rescued Xiao Hui's wife. When the news about the South China tiger came out, our school happened to be undergoing military training. Well, I was joking when I said they came down the mountain to make a living. I guess they came to repay their gratitude. I saw that you are demanding perfection in your movies, so I'm helping you out. Director Gu, think about it, although top-notch special effects can be indistinguishable from the real thing, the money spent is not real. Hiring an extra only requires three meals a day, wouldn't it be better to use the hundreds of millions saved for publicity?"
Jing Ling's tone of voice was so sincere when he said this, and there was no sign of incongruity in his expression, as if it were real. Director Gu felt that he was almost convinced by him. He felt the need to say something, and then he heard Jing Ling continue, "Director Gu, you don't believe it, do you? Anyway, the filming here is almost finished, why don't you come with me to Changchuling? It's only a few hours' flight, and two days is more than enough. Just think of it as a vacation for yourself, how about it?"
Director Gu, "I believed your lies!"
A few days later, all the scenes on the island were filmed, and the crew packed up and prepared to leave. Director Gu and Jing Ling flew to Qincheng ahead of time. Two days later, in the evening, the two returned from Qincheng. Director Gu called the crew together and asked directly, "Is there anyone brave enough?"
Everyone:? ? ?
