The crew of the second season of "Ghost" chose the filming location in Yueshan Township, Xinchui County, HZ Province. Frankly speaking, the filming conditions were quite difficult.
Today is the start-up ceremony. During the start-up ceremony, the crew burned incense and prayed in the hope that no "dirty things" would be photographed.
Standing at the front to offer incense are naturally the male and female actors, Zhang Shixian and Fang Hanling. Fang Hanling is a popular female celebrity in the past ten years. Her blog has more than 50 million fans, although she has always been famous for her
Her extremely poor acting skills have been criticized by many netizens, but because her appearance is good enough, audiences will still watch her TV series. With the explosion of information in the Internet age, people can irresponsibly make random remarks and ignore
Morality and ethics, shouting the stupid slogan "Appearance is justice". Fang Hanling filmed a total of fourteen TV series last year, about half of which were broadcast this year, but what is exaggerated is that among them
Many of them are obviously cut-out dramas, and a discerning eye can see that they were computer-generated.
The second season of "Ghost" is still produced by Lanling Media Company, which has obtained the copyright of the novel, so most of the main actors are contracted actors of Lanling. Su Jingyi plays the same role in this drama as in the first season
She is a villain and a vicious female supporting character. Since the era of domestic TV dramas transitioning from romantic dramas to horror dramas about twenty years ago, the pattern has remained the same, which is "infatuated male lead + silly and sweet female protagonist + warm-hearted male
The formula of "two + evil female second" will never change. Now due to the changes in the times, the main viewers of TV series have gradually transformed into netizens, and most netizens live in a fast-paced era and cannot watch TV series with connotations at all. They
I like to watch horror dramas that stimulate adrenaline, as well as old-fashioned stories about love between men and women.
Because of this, today's TV drama screenwriters pay less attention to literature than they did more than 20 years ago, and original scripts are extremely scarce. Most of them choose to adapt popular novels on the market. The same routine.
, horror scenes that purely pursue visual sensory stimulation, and bloody four-corner love plots constitute the routines of most horror TV series today.
The filming location for this shooting is in the mountainous area where Yueshan Township is located. Transportation in the deep mountains here is extremely inconvenient, so food, clothing, housing and transportation must be kept simple. For the film crew, it is very important to complete the filming as soon as possible at the first filming location.
After all, Fang Hanling's schedule is too limited. Because of the tight time, even the recruitment of extras is done locally. Of course, another reason is that recruiting extras here can save more money. After all,
The consumption level here is really too low, so the salary requirements have been greatly reduced. For people in first-tier cities, five thousand yuan may be used in a month, but in this place, five thousand yuan can only be used with some savings.
, enough to live for more than one year.
"What kind of shabby place is this..." Fang Hanling is used to pampering herself. She has purchased several luxury homes in almost all first-tier cities in China. She has dozens of assistants busy with her when she travels, and she lives there when filming.
They are all luxury hotels. Even if the filming of costume dramas usually involves shooting in some remote places, she does not even need to be there herself. She only needs to shoot in a studio or in front of a green screen, and then cut out the pictures and combine them.
"Sister Fang, this..." Her female assistant Xiao Mu handed her the prepared hand warmer and said, "Just bear with it. The crew said they would try to speed up the filming this time. This TV series has the highest ratings since your debut.
If you have the highest rate, I believe you will have better movie resources and advertising endorsements when the second season is aired."
Fang Hanling smiled when he heard about movies and advertisements. For a star, sometimes he can make more money by accepting an advertisement endorsement than by filming a TV series. After all, the purpose of making TV series is to sell advertising space.
.She has been reluctant to accept advertising endorsements this year, but I heard that this TV series has good ratings overseas. The second season will be broadcast overseas again, and maybe she can endorse some internationally renowned brands.
Even so, Fang Hanling was still quite dissatisfied with the small and dilapidated B&B. She just hoped to finish filming the current scene as soon as possible and leave here. Then, she casually opened the new script, and her assistant was busy beside her handing it to her.
Have a glass of water.
"Hmm...why did the script change again? How do I remember my lines?"
"This...is the advertiser's request..."
"There are too many ads placed this time, right? It feels like they are selling ads."
"This..." Xiao Mu laughed dryly and said, "The more advertisements are inserted, the higher the production cost of the TV series will be. I believe the quality of the TV series will be relatively better."
"Too……"
Looking through the script in her hand, she suddenly felt a little chilly.
"This script... I read it in one go and it's quite scary."
At the same time, the extras recruitment office temporarily set up by the crew has recruited more than 200 extras. Most of these people do not have lines, and at most they can only walk a few steps in front of the camera, so they are completely
There is no need to consider the issue of acting skills. However, there are a few actors who have a few lines of extras, and some may even need to play opposite the protagonist. So, you have to put some effort into choosing some. After all, it will not work if the acting skills are too embarrassing.
"Well... next, Gao Ying."
The executive director and several other staff who are responsible for recruiting extras who will play opposite the protagonist select actors in a temporarily rented house by the crew.
Originally, the executive director would not personally take care of several extras. However, this time the schedule was too tight, and the executive director also did many things personally.
"Your name is Gao Ying, right?" The executive director looked at the handsome young man in front of him and was a little surprised. This young man was so good-looking that it was not a big problem to play the leading role. "Well, have you read the script?
Can you perform in front of me?"
Gao Ying had naturally memorized all the lines in the script, and there were only a few lines in the script.
"Okay. Please watch."
Gao Ying has read through the test papers for this exam completely. The key to this exam lies in the crew filming a horror TV series in a local mountain village. This parallel world is completely different from the real world. There are no restrictions on ghost movies at all.
Therefore, horror TV series are extremely popular. At the same time, the era is actually in the 2000s, and online media is much more developed than in his era.
And this TV series called "Ghost Shadow" tells a quite scary story... (To be continued)
