Chapter 228 0227: Horror Movie (1)

Tomorrow's scene is very interesting. The three gangsters led by Brother Bei and the group led by Mad Dog Inspector Huang Landeng have a gunfight in the hospital.

First, Huang Landeng mistakenly enters the girls' ward. He is first thrown a bunch of trousers, then covered by a "fierce mask", and then passes by the elevator. When the door opens, Brother Bei and his three are inside. Huang Landeng remembers something, turns back and shouts, and immediately starts shooting with a shotgun. Brother Bei is so scared that he stretches his legs to pull but can't. A policeman is so scared that he immediately draws his gun. It turns out that Huang Landeng's nose was hit again.

At the same time, Tang Ren and Qin Feng, who were hiding outside a ward, poured water on the electric box, causing a short circuit and power outage. The police first used a screen to move forward under the gunfire. It turned out that the screen was shot, and then the two of them lay on the corner and crawled forward.

Bei Ge's three men and Huang Landeng's group were all shot. In one of the rooms they mistakenly entered at the beginning, a group of gangsters ran out after hearing the gunshots, thinking that the police were coming to arrest them, and immediately opened fire on the police. In the gunfight, one of the two patients who was lying on the mobile bed rolled over by himself, and the other who was walking in a wheelchair got up and ran away out of fear.

That scene used a long cross-sectional shot, which was humorous and romantic under the illumination of gunfire, and the picture was full of dramatic conflict.

When the original version was filming that scene, because of tight budget, it could be filmed in an abandoned hospital. There was a light bulb in front of the guns held by the actors, and the switch was connected to the trigger. In the later stage, the light of the light bulb was replaced with gunfire and gunshots with special effects. The plot looked very tense, but the actual filming was like a joke. Many people couldn't help but make biubiu gunshots with their mouths.

Because the scene was more complicated, Huang Tao talked about the scene once and rehearsed it three times in a row.

All groups were ready, and the script operator played the board and officially started filming.

The prop gun was also tied with a light bulb, because the purpose was to shoot the effect of shooting in a dark environment with flashing lights.

As expected, the scene with a chaotic scene was not easy to shoot, and the first take was NG.

After cleaning up the venue, Huang Tao briefly explained the problem that had just occurred, and then continued to shoot the second take.

So it was repeated like that, NG → explaining the problem → continuing to shoot.

Jiang Ge couldn't give any advice either, it was not a problem of acting, but a problem of on-the-spot reaction.

When the seventh take was shot, he asked everyone to take a break and find their form. It would be useless to shoot as many takes as possible without form, and the shooting would get worse and worse.

Huang Tao was so worried while shooting, but Zhou Lingwei, Mo Lan, and Gu Yao, the three girls behind him, were chatting happily.

Jiang Ge leaned over and listened to what they were talking about. They were all gossiping, so he interrupted: "They say 'three women make a play'. He must have seen it tomorrow. We can talk about things that are not related at all."

Zhou Lingwei looked at him with a smile and snorted: "Eavesdropping on their whispers."

Jiang Ge said seriously: "No, he listened openly."

As he said that, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at the three of them, and said thoughtfully: "Bu Luo, talking about three women makes a play, it reminds him of a story."

Zhou Lingwei asked subconsciously: "What story?"

Mo Lan and Gu Yao looked at him at the same time with their beautiful eyes full of curiosity.

Jiang Ge said mysteriously: "Painted Skin!"

Zhou Lingwei and Mo Lan's faces showed a blank expression, as if they had never heard of it.

Gu Yao said: "'Painted Skin' in "Liao Zhai"?"

Jiang Ge smiled and nodded.

Speaking of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", Zhou Lingwei and Mo Lan have heard of it. It is a famous ancient novel.

Zhou Lingwei was puzzled and said, "What do ghost stories have to do with them?"

Gu Yao had read a script adapted from the story of Painted Skin and said, "The story of Painted Skin is about a hideous evil ghost, wearing a human skin painted with colored pencils, and pretending to be a cruel beauty, playing all kinds of tricks to achieve the purpose of splitting people's stomachs and digging out their hearts. Later, the evil ghost was discovered by a Taoist priest, and under the attack of a wooden sword, he was forced to take off his human skin and reveal his true appearance, and was killed with a sword."

Mo Lan narrowed his eyes and said, "I said they were wearing masks..."

Jiang Ge saw Zhou Lingwei's eyes and He was very smart, and even interrupted, "Let's not get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just thought that the story could be adapted from the perspective of three women of different identities."

Zhou Lingwei asked, "How to adapt it?"

Jiang Ge organized his words and said, "In a certain dynasty, a general rescued a beautiful woman in a fierce battle with sand bandits in the Western Regions and brought her back to his mansion. However, the woman was a Nine Heavens Fox in human skin, and her skin must be maintained by human hearts..."

At some point, Zhou Lingwei hugged his arm, and Mo Lan on the other side hugged Gu Yao's arm.

Jiang Ge may have written novels in his previous life, and he can write scripts in this life. It doesn't matter if the original version is not complete, as long as there is a main storyline. Anyway, he can add some exaggeration to make the general plot as vivid and scary as possible.

What he said earlier was not made up. When he saw the three of them talking and laughing, he really thought of the movie "Painted Skin" on Earth. There were also three women, a fox demon, a demon slayer, and an ordinary woman. Of course, the key to the association was "beauty".

After about eight or nine minutes, the story was finished. Zhou Lingwei blushed slightly and said, "He was scared to death."

Jiang Ge gently patted her leg and said, "It's just a story. Don't be afraid."

Zhou Lingwei snorted again, and commented on a character in the story: "That general is so annoying that his wife doesn't believe him."

Jiang Ge smiled faintly and said: "No, he was bewitched by the fox demon."

Zhou Lingwei looked up at him and asked: "I always write tragedies, why?"

Jiang Ge dragged out the "uh" sound, and then used a dry laugh to cover up his embarrassment, saying: "Who said that, isn't Tang Detective a comedy, a pure comedy."

Mo Lan then interrupted: "Isn't that a movie I conceived?"

She put herself in the role of a producer and felt that the story had selling points.

Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows and asked instead: "The kind with "ghost" and "demon" elements, can the relevant departments pass the review?"

The three women were all surprised, and then said in unison: "Why not?"

Jiang Ge scratched his eyes.

Okay.

It's worthy of being Blue Star, there is no "River Crab Beast".

The film "Painted Skin" was not rated high, nor was it well-received, but it performed very well. It was the first domestic film to break 100 million yuan during the National Day holiday, and it was the box office champion during the National Day holiday that year. It also beat big films such as CJ7, Kung Fu Panda, and The Forbidden Kingdom, and won the third place in the annual box office. The following year, it was nominated for a total of 19 awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, Huabiao Awards, and Asian Film Awards.

It is definitely not a problem to make money, and it barely meets the route of creating high-quality works.
