088, this can't be done, I decided to change it into a horror movie!
"Akidou Sack Naoki-san, do three high school students dare to go to the deep mountains and old forests to soak in hot springs?"
Yoshimura Otomo was the first to put forward an opinion.
Ah, the deep mountains and old forests of this era are indeed quite dangerous. Except for the real big cities, some places are still disorderly, and underage young girls are a little too bold.
"Why would a hot spring hotel fabricate the legend of Karasawa Gorilla? Isn't it dangerous..."
Ohno Miterina couldn't help it anymore,
Questions popped up one after another,
Indeed, compared with the previous short dramas in "Wonderful Stories of the World", this short drama is much weaker in terms of twists and plots... It seems that the acceptance level is not very high.
Anyway, it was just a simple film, so Naoki Nagayama decided to put down the original plot and make the magic changes himself.
"In that case" Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes and decided to increase the supernatural element, "Why not explore the haunted hot spring hotel in the deep mountains and old forests instead!"
"Several college students on autumn break made an appointment to explore a legendary haunted hot spring hotel, but unexpectedly they actually encountered a supernatural incident."
Doors that moved erratically, skylights that opened at unknown times, ghosts outside the doors, strange movements...
As Nagayama Naoki's thoughts became clearer and clearer, the images of another movie slowly began to appear in his mind - "Paranormal Activity: Ghost Records", a simple supernatural horror film shot with a low budget, and it was so popular that it became a hit 2
box office of more than 100 million US dollars.
After the ghost stories of the 1960s, RB's films were increasingly influenced by the West. Especially after the 1990s, the special category of Japanese supernatural was born. Now in the 1980s, the horror of pseudo-documentaries
The film isn't out yet.
"A supernatural incident? It's not bad~" Otomo Yoshimura didn't say anything more. Anyway, in his opinion, this was just a movie attempt by Naoki Nagayama.
"In this case, we need to bring a filming crew~ and add more actors~"
Nagayama Naoki waved his hand, "Well, I think the staff that Shuichi Itou often worked with in the past should also be in contact now. Just find two shooting assistants who are free, and then I can star."
"What about the director?"
Naoki Nagayama said without shame: "Of course he is also the director!"
It's just that it's a little troublesome to find a shabby hot spring.
3 actors, 1 director and 3 filming crew were quickly found.
There are a total of 7 people. The filming staff can drive and two vans can take them away.
Nagayama Naoki only planned a total of 3 or 4 days of shooting, no more than 1 week at most.
...
"Otomo-san, why did you come with me?"
When we gathered the next day, Fangcun Otomo also got into the van together.
"Because I am also very free, it would be nice to take a bath in the hot spring~" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, and Nagayama Naoki was speechless.
Sure enough, after making a lot of money, I no longer want to work seriously.
After a journey of more than two hours, we drove directly to Mount Takao and found a hot spring hotel in the mountain that was on the verge of closing.
Because I had mentioned it on the phone in advance, the older boss readily lent me the venue and was eager to participate.
.......
Take out the script I wrote yesterday afternoon,
Of course, the plot has been appropriately adjusted to suit rb's national conditions and the change of performance location.
In fact, the movie "Paranormal Activity" is similar to its predecessor "The Blair Witch Project". Its outstanding feature is that it adopts the form of a pseudo-documentary, both of which achieve big box office with a small cost. There is no problem if the storyline is changed.
.
The horror elements have not been significantly changed. After all, the film itself does not contain many bloody elements, and it still prefers layers of progressive psychological oppression.
One man and three women (Masamori, Mina, Fei, and Ayako) from the Film Department of the University of Tokyo just had their autumn vacation. After hearing the news about the ghosts of the hot spring hotel that was about to close, they decided to go on a week-long adventure and record it with a camera.
Let’s take their journey as homework for this vacation.
There were a total of 5 cameras, and the two assistants were asked to use two cameras to follow from the perspective of God. The protagonist and his party brought 3 cameras as documentary sources in the movie.
After driving to the hot spring pavilion, we found that it was just an old hot spring pavilion. As for the owner of the hot spring pavilion, Naoki Nagayama didn’t tell him the plot and asked him to play the role of the original boss and face the camera on Naoki Nagayama’s shoulder.
, a little nervous and overwhelmed, seemed more real.
"Boss, I heard that the hot spring hotel is haunted, right?"
"Haunted? No, my hot spring has never been haunted!"
"Then why did the news come out?"
Naoki Nagayama was holding the camera, and Mina, a college student, asked the question.
"How do I know? TV stations always do weird things."
Ayako, who was looking around in the hot spring pavilion, checked next to her: "What's the shrine here?"
"The local mountain god has been worshiped for more than ten years."
.......
In the evening, several people were eating at the dining table in the living room.
"Masori-san, it looks like an ordinary hot spring resort. The news and everything are all fake."
"Mina-chan, Fei-chan, Saiko-chan, most of the legends are definitely false. We have to believe in science. We are just here to capture the reality. Even if it proves that it is an ordinary hotel, then we have completed our homework."
"That's right."
After checking in, several people set up three cameras in the hotel room, courtyard, and hot spring, planning to shoot all night long.
However, after night, strange things continued. The door to the room suddenly opened, which frightened several girls and quickly called Masamori to the room.
"Maybe the boss did it on purpose!" Zhengshou vowed, "When I catch him, I will beat him up."
When several people were drowsy, the lights in the room flickered a little, and a black shadow seemed to appear outside...
With a "pop" sound, the decorative painting on the wall fell off...
"Ah!!!"x3
Masamori, played by Nagayama Naoki, was also awakened, but he still said stubbornly: "Okay, okay, it's just a nail that came out."
I waited in a daze until morning, thinking that there would be no weird things in broad daylight. However, in the empty room after a few people went out, a book on the table suddenly moved strangely until it fell off the table.
It was all caught on camera in the room...
On the second day, everyone was exhausted, and the most timid Cai Zi even wanted to go back:
"Mina, Fei-chan, what if there really is a ghost? It's better not to take pictures..."
"Caizi, don't be deceived, the boss must be behind all this!" Mina herself doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, "If we take the photo, let him waive our rent!"
"Hahaha, Caiko-chan, if we really capture a ghost, our homework must be the highest in the class!"
Although he was a little tired, Masamori remained steadfast and insisted on continuing to shoot.
In the next few days, more and more strange things happened.
When I was soaking in the hot spring, there seemed to be long hair on the water; there was always a fleeting shadow in the courtyard; a corner of the shrine in the hall was damaged; there was a flushing sound from the empty toilet; the door of the cabinet
, sometimes open by yourself;
These strange phenomena occur between half-asleep and half-awake, making it difficult for the protagonist and his party to sleep well every day.
On the third day, Fei and Ayako couldn't hold it any longer and begged everyone to go back, but Mina and Masamori said they would hold on for at least one day.
That night, the camera in the hall captured Caiko kowtowing at the shrine in the middle of the night until blood flowed all over the floor...
After the Zhengshou people found out, they quickly drove along the mountain road to take them to the hospital.
But after a burst of mist, what appeared in front of them was still the hot spring pavilion...
The last picture is a newspaper. Several college students went camping in the mountains and disappeared. The police found the car and camera they left behind.
.........
I wanted to shoot nearly a week in three days, especially all the scenes at night.
These few nights have made the 7-person shooting team very tired...
Strangely moving objects are pulled by thin transparent threads; a fleeting shadow requires several people to quickly pull the rope; even Fangcun Otomo, who was originally watching the excitement, was forced to put on black clothes and pretend to be a ghost outside the door several times.
film.......
The so-called strange phenomena are all due to the hard work behind the scenes by Nagayama Naoki and his team!
