Chapter 31 New Script
After sending the registration information for "Zone B No. 32" to Canada, Xu Zhengdao kept writing the new script. He hoped to achieve the goal of modifying five bad movies as soon as possible and defeating ten bad movies. He hoped to complete the second stage as soon as possible, obtain detailed information about Sesame Open Door and Shuxun in the next ten years, and then gain the power to fight against capital.
The inspiration for Xu Zhengdao's new script is the bad movie "Don't be afraid". When he first watched "Don't be afraid", although he was confused by the movie, he felt that the movie was still a bit creative. At least the idea of the movie's final reality show was more interesting. It was just that the script was too rough and not polished carefully; the director was scared to scare people and ignored the logic of the movie, which led to the plot falling and ruining a good idea in vain.
Due to the huge loopholes in the logic of "Dear, Don't Be afraid", Xu Zhengdao didn't think much at the beginning. When filming "No. 32 in Area B", Li Chengfeng's chain of farts gave him inspiration and made him think of ways to transform this story.
The final version of the story is like this. In the first part of the movie, a film crew was filming a horror film in an abandoned hospital. During the shooting, ghosts began to cause trouble, and strange things happened on the scene, and in the end all the actors were destroyed.
The second part of the movie is the behind-the-scenes footage of the first part, which mainly tells the story of director Guo Jingmin, inspired by "The Witch Blair", wanted to make a similar pseudo-documentary, but the actors designated by the investor were very bad in acting and could not perform the desired effect. So he found an abandoned hospital and told the actor that the hospital was abandoned because of a haunted ghost. More than two years ago, a crew member died while filming here, and the crew was forced to disband. During the filming process, supernatural events continued to occur on the scene, and filming accidents occurred. There were really ghosts in the hospital.
At the end of the movie, the horror atmosphere reached its peak. Just as the crew members were about to collapse, the lights suddenly went out. The scene was dark, and the crew members screamed like a pig-killing scream. Then, the scream suddenly stopped, as if everyone was killed by a ghost. Then, a voice sounded in the dark: "Stop, this shot has passed!"
This story has a very clever design. In the second part of the story, Gao Yutong, played by Tong Yao, will appear, and Gao Yutong will break her leg during the filming process.
If you have watched "Zone B 32", you will realize that this movie is a prequel to "Zone B 32", and there are really ghosts in the movie. The last sound of the movie "This shot has passed" was sent by the director who died bizarrely. The ending of the movie is that the crew was attacked by ghosts and everyone was killed.
If you haven't watched "No. 32, Area B", when the audience hears the last sound of "This shot has passed", they will naturally not think that the hospital is haunted, but that everything that happened before is filming, not true.
"No. 32, District B" will not be released in China, so naturally people from the Film Bureau will not have watched it. When reviewing the film, they will not think that there are really ghosts in the movie. They will only think that the ending is filming the movie and will be able to pass the review smoothly.
Xu Zhengdao was very satisfied with this story, and thought it was very novel and interesting, but he thought the name "Dear, don't be afraid" was so stupid. Those who didn't know it thought Taobao customer service was fooling customers. He didn't want to use such a stupid name, so he applied the name of another bad domestic film "The Resentful Spirit".
After writing the script, Xu Zhengdao called Jiang Tianxing and the others out, found a barbecue restaurant, sat on a stool, drank cold beer, and ate it with a sensation. Xu Wangqiu drank beer while telling the story of "The Resentful Spirit".
Everyone thought "The Resentful Spirit" was very interesting, and they were ready to start filming immediately.
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but feel excited: "I've never seen any horror movie like this before. It feels very novel and very special. If it is shot, it will definitely be very popular."
Fu Yan's eyes lit up: "This story is good, we must shoot this story."
Jiang Tianxing couldn't help but say, "Yes, this story is really interesting, and it will definitely be a great success if it is shot. However, the movies shot by the DV cannot pass technical review and cannot be released in China. You must use a real camera and a mature actor to shoot this story. You will definitely not be able to handle it if you have two or three million yuan. Money is a big problem!"
"Yes, money is the biggest problem." Xu Zhengdao drank the beer in his cup in one sip. "Now we can only wait for the Canadian Fantasy Film Festival. After our movie is released at the film festival, we will see how much it can be sold. By the way, we will talk to producers in East Asia to see if we can attract investment. If we can attract investment, then we will immediately start filming "The Resentful Spirit".
Huang Haoran sighed slightly: "It would be great if the copyright could be sold."
"Baqiao, you guy is really not ambitious. What does it mean to sell the copyright? We can definitely sell it in Canada and we can definitely get investment." Xu Zhengdao filled his cup with wine, held the cup to the middle of the table, and shouted, "We are destined to be famous in the film industry. How can we have no confidence in ourselves! Come on, we have done it!"
"It's my fault! "No. 32, Area B" will definitely be sold, we will definitely succeed! It's done!" Huang Haoran picked up the cup and touched Xu Zhengdao for a while, and Gulugu started to drink it.
"For our dream! I've done it!" Li Chengfeng and the others also excitedly picked up the cup.
Just as Xu Zhengdao and the others were looking forward to the future, something extremely sensational happened in the entertainment industry.
The private phone numbers of nearly 600 celebrities were collectively exposed online and spread in the online world at a lightning speed. This list not only includes celebrities such as Chen Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, but also writers such as Ba Jin and Chi Li were not spared.
Many netizens felt like they had treasures after getting these numbers, and their excitement was hard to express, so they picked up the phone to find out. Many domestic celebrities began to be harassed by various inexplicable phone calls and text messages. Even malicious people not only posted the celebrity's phone numbers online, but also attached a processed photo, "packaging" them into vulgar online recruitment friends.
As for how the phones of celebrities were leaked, there are many different opinions. Some people say that it was a "entertainment reporter" who accidentally lost the address book, and the troublemaker picked it up and posted it online, and was constantly reprinted in the forum, which made the celebrity's mobile phones a "grenade". Some people say that it was leaked by some CCTV columns, because the phones of artists of some companies were never announced to the public. Even if the reporters who are familiar with each other don't know it, only some column groups of CCTV and North Platform know it.
The large-scale leak of celebrity phone calls not only caused an uproar in the entertainment industry, but also attracted high attention from the legal community. The Internet is an emerging industry and lacks corresponding laws and regulations. Celebrities' phone calls are leaked and the website can be sued, but they may not be investigated, because it was not intentionally leaked by the website. The whole thing is a new legal issue.
After Xu Zhengdao learned about this, he wanted to know who had their phone number leaked, so he flipped through the leaked celebrity phone number online. He found that there were two acquaintances, Chen Yimou's phone number, and Chen Yimou's phone number was not his own, but his assistant Pang Liwei. With Chen Yimou's influence, I don't know how many phone calls I have been called on her cell phone these two days, and I guess I was harassed.
The next morning, Xu Zhengdao hummed a small song and came to the school. As soon as he walked into the watch guide building, he encountered a field condition. He remembered the leak of the phone number and asked quickly: "Teacher Tian, the phone number of many celebrities has been leaked online recently. I saw that your number is available, and I wonder if I have been harassed?"
Tian Zhizhang said indifferently: "I received a few calls and text messages. I am not a big director like Yimou. In addition to art film enthusiasts, those who called me also asked about postgraduate entrance examinations. They were quite polite to me and were not considered harassed."
Xu Zhengdao nodded slightly: "I feel relieved if you are fine."
Tian Zhuanqian was very happy to see Xu Zhengdao worried about him: "What can I do? By the way, it's the end of the year now, and the school is conducting a final report screening. You have to prepare a copy of "No. 32, Area B" and show it in the standard screening room next week."
Xu Zhengdao laughed and said, "It's on the screening! I'm a little nervous!"
Xu Zhengdao is really not modest. Beijing Film Academy students are never polite to their senior brothers and sisters' movies, and they even complain more hard. Especially the students in the Department of Literature and Directors, they are all so proud that they always talk about the masters and criticize other people's works. That is really nothing.
Beijing Film Academy has a tradition that graduates will take their own movies that have not been released to Beijing Film Academy for exchange, so the label is also called the first preview show in China. After the movie is screened, the junior brothers and sisters will seize the opportunity to complain about their works. The junior brothers and sisters often attract applause when they are pointed at the question of Mai Mang.
Because the junior brother and sister don’t give any face at all, they often say something bad. Many directors can’t hold on to their face and say that they will never come back in the future. However, not returning home from wealth is like walking in a night clothes. When they make works that they feel good about themselves, they will take the movie back to school.
This trend started from Level 78, which was the first batch of students recruited by Beijing Electric after the exercise. At that time, the reform and opening up, and the films of Haitang Kingdom were very backward, and the audio-visual language was still at the level of the 1940s, and the gap was very big with foreign films. When domestic films were played, bursts of laughter often burst into laughter, rhythmic clapping, and even neatly stomping their feet. Few directors could withstand such terrible laughter, and even the most educated people could not stand up and leave the table angrily.
Once, the audio-visual language of the domestic film screened was extremely stylized, and a naughty student called "close scene", but the movie immediately showed up close scenes, and then called "medium scene". Sure enough, "medium scene" appeared on the screen. Whatever the students shouted, something really appeared on the screen. The students burst into laughter on the scene, and the director wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Because the students were making a big fuss, the screening was forced to stop. Sun Yuezhi, deputy secretary of the college, stood under the screen and said seriously: "This is a film school, not a teahouse in the town. You have to shoot movies in the future. How can you treat other people's works so rudely? Without the minimum politeness and basic cultivation, how can you create in the future?"
Although the students in the 78th grade were scolded, they did not change their problems in making others laugh at them. As long as the movie was not good enough, they would make a fuss and boo. However, they did not expect that after they became directors, they would bring their works back to school. As long as the work was not good enough, they would be crazily complained by their younger brothers and sisters in the same way.
Seeing Xu Zhengdao saying it was nervous in a fake way, Tian Zhuan couldn't help but curse: "You're so nervous! Your movie quality is good, and you will definitely not be scolded. Even if someone really scolds them, you just treat them as farts. Besides, you have to pay it back when you come out. When other directors brought films back to Beijing Film Academy in the past, you guys scolded others so fiercely! Now it's your turn!"
Xu Zhengdao smiled and said, "If I get scolded, I will say that this movie is for viewers next century."
