Many directors often do some unexpected and extreme things in order to present a sense of reality in their movies.
Cruise knows this.
but……
This Eastern director's pursuit of extreme realism made Cruise feel even more painful.
There is very little food, probably only one third of the usual amount or even less. Not only does it not keep you full, the food is even hastily taken away after the time is up.
And when eating, all lights are turned off.
After it was extinguished, darkness filled the entire enclosed space like a tide, and a cold suffocating feeling echoed around. You seemed to be able to hear the faint sounds of chewing food.
This state lasted for about three minutes...
As the food was removed, he suddenly heard a burst of curses.
In the darkness, Trent, who had always been very calm, suddenly roared as if being stimulated by something, waving his fists like a madman, and the chains kept hitting the wall in the darkness.
Trent struggled like a trapped and enraged beast, venting the anger in his heart.
There was a hint of despair mixed in with the anger.
"What's wrong!"
"Trent, what's wrong?"
"Trent!"
"..."
Terrence's sudden and crazy behavior startled Cruise, and Cruise began to panic.
He shouted to the other side.
After hearing his voice, Trent's cursing voice from the opposite side suddenly stopped, and Cruise heard another sound of chains in the darkness.
Trent seemed to sit on the ground, then gasped and clutched his hair in collapse.
After this state continued for a few more minutes, Trent's movements finally stopped. Cruise heard Trent sigh: "Finish the second act earlier... No, finish it earlier." Movie!"
"Kacha!"
"Kacha!"
"Kacha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, lights suddenly lit up in the distance.
When the light became brighter than before, it was so bright that Cruise felt dazzled. He subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hand. After he got used to the light, he moved his hand away.
He observed this closed world, and he found that there was no change in this closed world, it was still the same as before...
However, Trent was very tired and his face was even paler than before. He stared at the bleeding corpse and covered his mouth, as if he was trying to hold back the feeling of vomiting.
Cruise subconsciously followed his gaze and looked at the body lying not far away.
The corpse was motionless, but the bleeding stopped, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but there was a hint of rotting meat in his nose, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Looking for a script!"
"Hurry up and finish the photo!"
Trent withdrew his gaze with fear and began to search frantically for various things around him, including the crack in the door next to him, including the urinal...
However, the script for the second act came up with nothing...
Cruise also searched everywhere, but in the end, he didn't find anything except the water in the toilet.
Just at this time……
"The script for the second act is not here, so don't look for it."
"After eating, I hope you can have a good rest so that you can continue filming the second scene..."
Zhou Yang's voice came not far away.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a camera in the distance with a microphone next to the camera.
"Tell me, is this corpse real? Did you really get a corpse from the morgue? Tell me!"
Trent suddenly shouted in the direction of the camera.
Trent's yelling made Cruise, who had calmed down a little, suddenly become extremely panicked. He stared at Trent as if he was a ghost, and then stared at the motionless body lying on the ground.
There was a deathly silence in response to Trent.
"Trent, that corpse, you..." Cruise broke the silence and asked tremblingly.
"That corpse is most likely real! Don't ask me why I know it, because I have seen a real corpse..." Trent gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Impossible, this Chinese director is crazy, this is desecration of a corpse!" Cruise took a deep breath, his rationality impacted his outlook, and he once again thought of Zhou Yang's previous actions.
Before, he thought it was a trick to create a scary atmosphere, but now...
"I thought so before, but the staff seemed to be scared. I could feel that they were scared... If this was a simple simulated shooting scene, why would they be so scared... In addition to being disgusting, this room was disgusting.
What else are they afraid of? This Chinese director is a lunatic. He has a strong desire to control, and he even..." Trent stopped talking in the end.
He was panting, seemingly controlling his emotions and trying to stay calm, but the corners of his mouth were trembling.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and pulled at the bracelet with all his strength.
Cruise felt his stomach churning again. He didn't dare to look at the body, but that's how people are. The more you dare not, the less you can bear the curiosity...
"Peng!"
At this moment, the lightbulb next to him suddenly made a bursting sound. The explosion of the lightbulb startled both of them.
Then the Trent side began to get slightly darker.
"FUCK!"
Trent cursed harshly.
After the scolding, the whole space became quiet again.
Cruise's face became paler and paler, and he wanted to say something, but the nausea in his breath and the spasm in his stomach twitched his throat again.
The immersive sense of depression makes panic continue to spread all around...
"vomit!"
He finally spit it out.
This depressed and immersive state lasted for more than an hour, during which the two tried to pass the desperate time by chatting.
But because of the corpse's presence, the two of them felt that the air was getting more and more permeable, and they finally couldn't talk any more.
one hour later……
The door finally opened.
Several crew members carrying cameras came in and set up the cameras. At the same time, they brought the script.
But they were frightened and frightened. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Cruise felt that their hands were trembling.
Cruise asked them some questions, but they shook their heads and just acted in front of the cameras.
Cruise finally gave up, and then he got the script...
With that deathly suppressed emotion, he recited the script.
After reading it, he stared at the toilet and his face became even paler.
After reading the script, Terence's face changed and he seemed to lose control of his emotions again. He was struggling to resist. On the other side of the door, a group of medical staff came over and held Terence down. It seemed as if they had fed him something, and at the same time, under the dim light, they seemed to have injected something into Trent.
After seeing this scene, Cruise almost went crazy.
"What exactly did you inject into him? Tell me, tell me!
"Ahhhhh, damn it, let me go, what are you going to do, ahhhh!"
"..."
Cruise yelled at those people, but the medical staff ignored Cruise. After the injection, all the staff except the photographer left one by one.
Then...
Trent, who was originally manic and restless, struggled less and less frequently, as if his strength had been drained away.
I don't know how long it took before Cruise saw that Trent was no longer struggling and just muttered: "This Chinese director is a lunatic!"
His throat was dry. After saying this, he lowered his head, picked up the script, and started reading.
Facing Cruise's inquiry, he seemed not to hear it, and just asked Cruise to quickly read the script and finish filming the second scene.
Cruise nodded.
I suppressed my nausea and looked at the dirty water in the toilet again.
…………………………
"Mr. Zhou Yang... how about letting me direct for a while?"
"Ah? Mr. Christian, isn't this..."Lamb" started today?"
"What does it matter if Lambs starts filming one day later?"
"this……"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, your shooting techniques are very interesting to me. I feel like I am a god who can observe the limits of human nature through movies without violating the law..."
"..."
Christian, the director of "Lamb", also came to the filming room of "Saw".
At first, he just came to watch "Saw" with the attitude of watching the excitement and inspecting the work.
However, after hearing about the shooting plan of "Saw" and reading the script of "Saw", Christian became extremely interested in the novel shooting method of "Saw", and then, he I watched it for a while...
As he watched, a feeling of eagerness to try suddenly surged deep in his heart, as if Pandora's box had been opened.
"I think we should add some more surprises to Trent and Cruise..." When Christian sat in Zhou Yang's director's seat, he looked at the careful shooting plan and arrangements that Zhou Yang had written. He shook his head, with a hint of malice on his face.
"What kind of news?" Zhou Yang looked at Christian.
"They are not hungry enough, and they are not extreme enough..."
"Mr. Christian, we are making a movie, not an experiment..."
"It can be an experiment...and don't worry, it'll be no problem. Okay, Mr. Zhou Yang, the movie "Lamb" will probably give you the position of assistant director in exchange..."
"this……"
Zhou Yang saw that a flame seemed to be burning in Christian's eyes, and this flame was extremely penetrating.
He was immersed in it and seemed to enjoy this feeling of control, like a God.
"Mr. Roddy, you go handle the matter of "Lamb"."
"Ah? Mr. Christian, shall I go to "The Lamb"?"
"Yes, you've almost finished playing. Now it's time for me to play."
"???"
………………
Cruise almost collapsed in the second act...
According to the plot, he reached into the disgusting toilet to retrieve something, enduring the stench that caused him to have a nervous breakdown.
After finally taking the photo, I was ready to reach out and wash it.
but……
"Retake!"
Not far away, a very serious and desperate voice suddenly sounded.
That's director Christian's voice!
He stared at the place where the sound came from, he couldn't figure it out...
Why did Director Christian's voice suddenly appear?
then……
He nodded, gritted his teeth, and continued to put his hand into the toilet and stir it.
"Retake!"
"..."
"Keep reshooting!"
"..."
"continue!"
"..."
"Keep reshooting!"
Cruise's mood collapsed instantly and he retched on the spot. After he finished retching, he looked at his smelly arms...
