Of course, the three of them did not know these things. The three of them did not care about the box office sharing contract for "Saw". After signing the contract symbolically, they began to prepare for the filming of the movie.
After everyone left, Zhou Yang sat alone in the office, reading the script of "Saw" and recalling the plot of Mohu's movie in his mind.
He suddenly felt a little inexplicable excitement.
Most of the work in "Under the Mine" was done with Feng Kai's help. Zhou Yang was basically in the learning stage. Except for the slightly imitated "Blind Shaft" in his mind, he was a complete layman.
.
Although "The Crow" has the title of assistant director, Zhou Yang has been performing immersively, and there are experienced crew members such as Wang Shuai and Bi Funan. Apart from studying, he can't help at all.
What a busy time.
In "The Grandmaster", Zhou Yang is completely a villain, with not many scenes and lines. Apart from being tortured by Huang Jiacheng, a director with mental problems, Zhou Yang has nothing else to do at all.
Although Roddy was the assistant director of "Saw", when the filming of "Lamb" actually started, Zhou Yang knew that Roddy would not be able to help with the work of "Saw" all the time.
In a sense, "Saw" is the first film directed by Zhou Yang himself after entering the director circle.
"Good job!"
After throwing away all the messy thoughts, he said this silently in his heart.
……………………
November 15th.
Los Angeles.
In the bathroom of an abandoned movie theater.
The old iron door made a scraping sound that made people's skin crawl, and was slowly pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, a pungent stench hit the nostrils, making people feel their stomach twitching from a distance.
Dim lights lit up one after another.
In the dirty bathroom, one of the starring actors, Cruise, covered his nose and looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief, his face turning pale.
"Mr. Zhou Yang... are you sure you want us to shoot a movie in this place?" Cruise choked out these words in his throat, and then his stomach twitched violently.
After seeing it for the first time, he wanted to escape from this place.
It stinks so bad!
"Yes." Zhou Yang looked at the bathroom and nodded.
His eyes exuded a kind of heat. Although it was somewhat different from the "Saw" scene in his memory, Zhou Yang felt that this place was more suitable.
Especially the dirt in the toilet not far away, if it is really captured with a camera, the visual impact will definitely be stronger.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, we will clean this place, right? Will we clean it a little bit?" Cruise casually touched the thick dust on the edge of the wall, and then saw that the toilet not far away had not been flushed.
, after almost fermenting the excrement, he felt a chill on his spine. He looked at Zhou Yang, his voice full of uncertainty.
"Mr. Cruise, why are we cleaning here? Will the person who really wants to kidnap you here clean the place where you were kidnapped?" Zhou Yang looked at Cruise with a smile, and then observed this again.
At this point, his smile suddenly became deeper.
This shooting location does not require any tidying up or changes at all...
"This..." Cruise was silent.
He has indeed made many horror films, including many disgusting scenes.
But most of the disgusting scenes are props prepared in advance, which look unbearable, but in fact you know those things are fake.
However, like "Saw", everything in the scene is real. They are most likely to shoot in such a smelly and destructive place, and when they have to shoot the entire movie, his heart
There is a deep sense of instinctive resistance.
"Okay, this is the shooting location I prepared for you. Are you familiar with it now?"
"Yeah." Cruise nodded.
The other protagonist, Trent, also nodded: "Mr. Zhou Yang, when will we shoot? Can you show us the script now?"
"Don't worry about the script..." Zhou Yang shook his head: "By the way, you two, make a copy of your identity information for me to use..."
"Identity data? What is it used for?"
"Buy insurance for all of you."
"Mr. Zhou Yang, why do you need to buy insurance for filming here?" Cruise glanced at Zhou Yang, and then looked at the filming scene suspiciously.
He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why he needed to buy insurance when shooting in a simple bathroom.
"Haha, you don't need to know this. No matter what movie you are shooting, you must be prepared... By the way, you two, you need to provide me with a detailed physical examination report before filming. I need to know your physical condition in the physical examination report.
..." Zhou Yang shook his head and continued to smile, "Okay, let's go back."
The two leading actors came over in confusion, and then left in confusion.
I don't know why, but they suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness deep in their hearts, which made them feel panicked.
……………………
For Cruise and Trent, the set of "Saw" is full of weirdness.
This movie uses the same crew as "Lambs", but the way it was shot is extremely weird.
All the actors in the "Lamb" crew had a detailed casting script and shooting plan, but there was none in "Saw". Even two days after entering the script, they only took out the physical examination report and got a disturbing
Apart from the high insurance policy, they got almost nothing from "Saw".
And the behavior of this yellow-skinned Chinese director is even more bizarre.
People often secretly carry some unexplained things into the bathroom in the basement. They also have people specially replace the old iron door with a very strong steel door.
When Cruise approached secretly to take a look, he found that not only was the steel door hung with a large iron lock, but it was also replaced with a coded lock...
Not only that, but layers of iron frames were welded on the bathroom windows in a pretentious manner, and some explosion-proof personnel were even specially invited to test the safety factor of the entire bathroom...
The more the two of them watched, the more they felt something was wrong. They always felt that this Chinese director was a little crazy. Is it necessary to design the scene to be so exaggerated when making a movie?
Later, they watched some of the filming materials of another movie "The Bottom of the Mine" shot by this Chinese director.
They discovered that when filming "The Bottom of the Mine", the director and other miners were actually filming in a bottomless dark world, risking the possibility of landslides...
It reminds me that the director suddenly and inexplicably bought insurance for them, and inexplicably required them to provide a physical examination report, and then made the script very mysterious and didn't even give them a look...
They suddenly realized that this Chinese director was very likely to be like some perverted directors. In order to pursue a sense of reality, he might actually do something that goes against human nature.
November 17th.
"Cruise, do you know what I found?"
"What did you find?"
"This Chinese director really bought a strong shackle. I heard that this shackle cannot be opened unless it has a key. It is specially used by the police to imprison serious criminals!"
"God, aren't we making a movie? We can just use some props. Why did he really buy shackles?"
"I don't know...I also heard about one thing..."
"What's up?"
"This guy also bought some chemicals like sulfuric acid!"
"God!" Cruise shrank when he heard the news, and his face changed instantly!
