Chapter 203 [Virtual Technology]

"The Saeki family..."

In front of the two-story, one-family house, the street was extremely quiet, with not even a single pedestrian.

Under the panoramic lens, the gray tone makes the sunlight around the entire house seem to be weakened, making it less blazing and less overflowing.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses, who looked elegant and elegant, slowly appeared in front of the camera, carrying a black briefcase.

When he came to the outer door outside the courtyard, he straightened his clothes solemnly, and then shouted the name of the owner of the house loudly.

"Mr. Saeki! Mrs. Saeki!"

"Hello, is anyone home?"

"I am Akina's class teacher, and my name is Kobayashi Akisuke. Akina hasn't come to school for a while. What happened? Mr. Saeki, Mrs. Saeki!"

Kobayashi Mingsuke shouted towards the house.

Because Minna Saeki, a student in the class, did not come to school for several days and did not ask for leave, as the class teacher, he could only arrange a home visit.

But for a while, there was no movement in the house.

According to the script, at this time Kobayashi Akisuke should open the outer door of the courtyard, walk in, knock on the door of the house, and once again confirm whether there is anyone in the house.

But the in-camera interpretation has reached this point, but there is no way to go further.

Because Abu Kuan's palm was placed on the door frame of the outer door, but he still didn't push it open.

"What are you doing, Teacher Abu Kuan!"

Lu Zhengyi's helpless voice sounded from everyone's headsets.

At the same time, Bai Wei, who was the scene recorder, made a stop gesture outside the camera, and the filming was terminated.

"Feel sorry!"

After the filming was terminated, Abu Kuan suddenly woke up and bowed, "I was distracted just now. I'm very sorry, everyone!"

He was quite straightforward. Even though he was in front of so many people and he was still an actor in his fifties, he apologized without any hesitation.

And I apologized very solemnly.

This made the actors from the Republic of China feel a little confused.

For actors of Abu Kuan's level, in their impression, others have always bowed to them, never the other way around.

After all, their age is also there, whether it is fame, status or seniority, they are all higher than others.

Some people still worry about their appearance when they get older.

But soon, they remembered that in this crew, age and fame really don't mean anything.

Unconsciously, they all turned their attention to some of the crew members.

At this moment, they were conveying the words of the director who looked like an ancient general with no expression on their faces. They did not show any panic at all because such an older man bent down to apologize to them, as if he was not very worried. Care about such a thing.

However, there are still some staff members in this crew who are not so 'calm'.

"Team leader, I have something to ask you."

Li Xiangzheng, who looked nervous, asked Wei Kang, who was playing with the camera next to him, in a low voice, "That's it..."

He hesitated, not sure whether he should ask the question.

This is the new temporary photographer of the crew. He had previously participated in the filming of The First Commandment. Because of his work ability and personality, Wei Kang recommended him to join the inspection group of temporary workers.

"You shouldn't ask, don't ask."

Wei Kang, who was still playing with the camera, heard his question and replied without raising his head, "Let's just follow the director's instructions and work according to the shooting assignment."

"But……"

Li Xiang wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wei Kang.

"You're here to work and make money, maybe... and for some photography hobbies, right?"

Wei Kang finally raised his head and looked at him, "You're not here to decipher or detect spirits. So you don't need to ask so clearly. There are some things that you will know when it's your turn to know. If it's not your turn to know, you will know. There is no benefit if there is too much, but it will only increase troubles.”

His tone was very serious and a little harsh.

However, thinking of the task of training newcomers, Wei Kang softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, we are just filming a scene. I have been filming with Director Lu for several years, and I have never encountered any danger. You can be absolutely at ease when it comes to safety."

After Li Xiang heard this, he unconsciously looked in the direction of Lu Zhengyi, his eyes full of fear.

As early as when he was in China, he had heard rumors that there was a ghost on the set of Mei Civet Cat.

But after the last filming of the First Commandment, he just laughed off this issue, so he was quite excited when he received the invitation from the crew to work in Heguo.

After all, it is rare for a photographer to have a shooting trip like this abroad.

But it's different now.

After all, after the crew came to Heguo to film, they stopped pretending.

Not to mention the actors in Heguo are under a lot of pressure during this period, even these temporary workers who have just joined the crew are worried that one day while filming, they will become part of the plot of the horror movie.

Wei Kang looked at Li Xiang and asked, "Are you afraid of Director Lu?"

Li Xiang nodded straightforwardly and replied with a trembling voice, "He, he should be the most special one in the crew, the one who recruited those things."

"That's it."

Wei Kang hesitated, but still revealed something, "I used to be just like you, I was very afraid of Director Lu. But after we got along with him for a while, I slowly discovered that actually knowing Director Lu and joining this crew was not a bad thing. "

Li Xiang, who was still suppressing his inner fear, turned his head in confusion and looked at him again.

"We're here to make money and also do it as a hobby."

Wei Kang explained, "The treatment given by Director Lu's crew is the best I have ever seen in my career. There has never been less remuneration."

"But what's more important is that after knowing some truths, ordinary people's lives can no longer go back."

"As long as I continue to stay in the crew and follow Director Lu, I can at least have some guarantee of safety. It won't mean that when I encounter those things, I can't even find anyone who can handle these things."

At this point, he paused, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "So although I was scared at first, later on, I felt more dependent on Director Lu than fear."

"Whether it is life or work, although Director Lu looks very young, he has always taken care of us like a big parent. Although I have not asked other people about this, I feel that they have The crew probably feels the same way about Director Lu as I do."

His tone was filled with the memories of someone who had been there.

Li Xiang's expression paused after listening to Wei Kang's words.

Can ordinary people’s lives go back?
What do you mean?
But soon, he figured it out and his expression became complicated.

Indeed, knowing some truths about the world not only means cognitive collapse, but also changes many views.

Perhaps, during the Qingming Festival tomb sweeping, even going to the tomb to pay respects to ancestors is a very difficult task.

After realizing this, the fear in Li Xiang's eyes gradually weakened, and he began to have other thoughts.

And things like this are also happening with other people in the crew, makeup artist Jin Shanmei, Gao Changyu from the props team, Liu Mingzhi from the set team... but everyone has different methods.

This stage is not so much about training new people as it is about getting new people to accept the world view that "there are ghosts in this world."

"Teacher Abu Kuan, as an actor with many years of acting experience, do you think your expression is correct in this scene?"

"Stop, stop, stop, why are your legs still shaking when you walk!"

"Although we are filming a movie and we know the scenes in advance, before the coconut comes out, you look like you are scared. Although the expression is right, it is not in the right place!"

……

on set,
Lu Zhengyi's helpless voice sounded from time to time in the headsets worn by everyone, and was accompanied by Abu Kuan's apologetic and panicked apologies again and again.

Although each shot only started for a short period of time, Kobayashi Akisuke hadn't even entered the room yet, so it was just a matter of simply restoring some of the shooting positions.

But again and again, it still makes people feel irritated.

"Hahahahahaha."

Before the surveillance, Chen Junsheng, who had already completed the project, was sitting next to Lu Zhengyi and smiling heartlessly.

As for the studio, others began to restore the camera positions again, waiting for new shooting instructions.

"Uncle Sheng, didn't you say that your schedule is full?" Lu Zhengyi glanced at him dissatisfied, "I will follow your suggestion and arrange all your scenes to be filmed first. Now that the filming is over, It’s almost time for you to leave.”

"No rush, no rush, I can take another look at the flight tonight."

Chen Junsheng waved his hand, "Actually, compared to this, I'm quite brave, right?"

"I know more than them. For example, Wang Xiaoxu has... already, uh, passed away, yes, yes, passed away."

"But I was still able to perform it very naturally in front of the camera. Even when the ghostly shadow pressed on me and passed directly through me, I performed very professionally. Alas, young people are young people, and this Abu Kuan still has some merits. Let’s learn.”

Just now, Abu Kuan finally crossed a threshold and stepped into the courtyard.

But outside the house, after seeing Liu Baoning through the window, he was immediately frightened and backed away, screaming and exiting the camera.

This psychological quality is not good.

Lu Zhengyi gave him a strange look, "Ah, Uncle Sheng, when you were filming before, was your performance in the camera really a performance? Then this acting is very natural. I have never seen any actor who can do this. Acting so naturally." "...That's not true."

Chen Junsheng replied eagerly, "I have even seen real evil ghosts and been suppressed several times. How dare I not be brave?"

"Although Wang Xiaoxu's illusion is... well done, it's still a bit uninteresting. The skin could be a bit paler, with some veins, so that the camera can give a close-up. It's not something normal people can do to highlight this skin. some."

"Yes, yes, and the way the limbs are bent, how can I put it, in short, there is room for improvement."

He also gave suggestions.

"Indeed, I also think it's a bit off. I didn't expect that Uncle Sheng could observe these things while you were performing."

Lu Zhengyi nodded matter-of-factly and put away his phone, "I have recorded all the shortcomings you just mentioned. I will tell Xiaoxu later and let him listen to it. By the way, he is next One learning task is to follow Uncle Sheng, and when he scares you, it will be considered a success."

Chen Junsheng: "..."

Chen Junsheng, who originally had many suggestions, was stunned.

"Well, you don't need to take it so seriously." Chen Junsheng turned his head to the other side and whispered back, "Actually, Wang Xiaoxu's illusion is already very realistic. If it were any more realistic, it would be a bit rude to the actor. Look at Abu Kuan's appearance. It definitely won’t work. No matter how realistic it is, no actors will be able to act with you.”

Lu Zhengyi smiled and stopped talking.

The same goes for Chen Junsheng. He is such an adult, but he still likes to watch the fun like a child.

According to what he said when he first decided on the shooting plan, he would have to leave on the day after the shooting, and there would be several domestic events waiting to be attended.

The results of it?He simply postponed it for a day, caught a late-night flight, and even slept on the plane, just to stay and watch others make a fool of themselves.

How does this look like an old man?
He is not an old man either in appearance or in psychology.

"Hey, hey, he's in good shape this time."

However, Lu Zhengyi didn't talk to him, but Chen Junsheng would not fail to speak.

After he was quiet for a while, his eyes widened when he saw in the camera that Abu Kuan had made another breakthrough and dared to dialogue with Liu Baoning.

"Akina-chan?"

It seems that he has realized that he cannot repeat this again and again and remain in a stalemate.

Abu Kuan finally got his mind together and began to really devote himself to acting.

After successfully passing through the outer door of the courtyard, entering the courtyard, and arriving in front of the house, Kobayashi Mingsuke tried ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door, but still no one responded.

But when he turned his head to the other side of the house and looked inside through the first-floor window, he could see that there was someone in the house.

Clothes, books, glass fragments, broken wooden chairs...

In the messy room, a girl in rags was sitting dully.

"Akina-chan!"

Seeing that his voice was not heard, Kobayashi Mingsuke shouted again, "It's the teacher. Where are your parents? Are you the only one at home?"

But this time, the girl in the room finally reacted and slowly turned her head to look at him.

"teacher."

A childish voice came from Saeki Akina's mouth. She could still learn such a simple Japanese phrase.

"Yes, it's the teacher." A smile appeared on Kobayashi Mingsuke's face, but after noticing the situation in the room and her tattered clothes, he frowned, "Can you open the door for the teacher?"

Inside the house, the little girl stood up obediently and came to the door to open it.

But both his movements and his demeanor seemed very sluggish.

"Akina-chan, did something happen at your home?"

Kobayashi Mingsuke entered the room smoothly, and then he squatted down and looked at the girl in front of him seriously, "Where are your parents?"

He asked, reaching out to help her tidy up her messy hair.

And the moment Kobayashi Akisuke's palm touched Liu Baoning's hair, he suddenly lifted it back and went straight out of the drama.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Liu Baoning looked at him strangely, "Did I perform the wrong part just now?"

She asked in Tang dialect.

Abu Kuan's eyes widened and he looked at the girl in front of him blankly.

He knew a little bit of Tang dialect and understood the girl's doubts, but just now he was ready to put his hand through it.

In fact, he had prepared his mind in advance. If he planned to wear it with his hand, he would pretend not to and continue to pretend.

However, Abu Kuan's hand did not pass through.

Just now, he actually met Liu Baoning.

"How, how is it possible!"

Abu Kuan looked at the confused Liu Baoning in front of him and couldn't help it. He stretched out his finger and poked her arm.

"What's wrong, Teacher Abu Kuan."

Next to him, Bai Wei came with a translator and helplessly conveyed Lu Zhengyi's words.

"Bump, touch!"

Abu Kuan had an expression of disbelief on his face. He pointed at Liu Baoning and replied seriously to Bai Wei, "I just touched her, and she is still hot. She has body temperature!"

Next to them, other Japanese actors had equally incredible expressions on their faces. Just as they were about to surround them, they were directly blocked by Yu Wenxiu.

"Don't scare the kids."

Yu Wenxiu frowned and looked at Abu Kuan. The villain complained first, using very skillful words, "Teacher Abu Kuan, are you sick?"

"No, no, didn't you wear it directly before?" Abu explained happily, "Teacher Chen wore it directly when filming. In the lens, it was not added with post-production special effects. It was worn directly during the filming. It’s over.”

"That's virtual technology, virtual technology." Yu Wenxiu replied seriously, "The script didn't say that virtual technology would be used in this section, right? Now Saeki Akina is still a human being, right? She's still alive, so of course it's the actor himself. of."

"Isn't the technology of using virtual images to participate in filming very common in modern society? Our film and television base over there often uses this kind of technology to shoot some fairy and martial arts films."

"I remember your Japanese special effects films. The recent Ultraman movie seems to have similar technology, right?"

After these words were spoken, several actors from the Republic of China were stunned.

"……Eh!!!"

For a long time, Abu Kuan's voice of amazement was long and drawn out, "So is it really virtual technology?"

"Sh-could it be some prank show? Are we here?"

"What's there, a hidden camera?"

"Ehhhh!!"

Next to him, other Japanese actors did the same, each making incredible sounds.

Their exclamations combined with the expressions on their faces made people feel like they were watching a stage play or a variety show.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Through the camera, Chen Junsheng, who was sitting next to Lu Zhengyi, had already fallen down from his chair with laughter, "He, they actually believe in virtual technology, my God, hahaha, I can't stand it, Xiaoyi, what should I do?" I don’t want to go back to China, I want to watch you finish the movie.”

Lu Zhengyi's expression was also a little strange.

"So, what about the projection equipment?"

Abu Kuan asked again, "Since it is virtual technology, there must be projection equipment, right?"

"This……"

Yu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment.

Outside the set, in front of the monitor, Lu Zhengyi thought for a moment and used the headset to convey to Bai Wei on the set, "Tell them that the fixed camera in the corner of the room is equipped with a projection function, so don't worry about it and continue shooting." .”

"Um, is it so perfunctory?"

Bai Wei hesitated.

Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly:

"Just find any excuse and deal with it first, let them doubt it."

"Otherwise, if I NG so many times in one scene, I really can't stand it anymore."

"It doesn't matter whether they know the truth or not, but knowing the truth cannot affect the progress of the filming."

Bai Wei listened and thought it made sense. He nodded, "Okay."

He quickly asked the translator to explain.

At this time, a group of people stared wide-eyed again, paying attention to the camera in the corner.
