Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 46 The movie is finished

"Link, according to your request, I have selected ten new actors. Here are their information and videos. Take a look."

While having breakfast, Daniel DeVito handed over a stack of information, which contained 10 young men who were not very handsome but looked quite lively.

This is the leading actor he prepared for the second version of "Paranormal Activity".

Version one is that he would first play the leading role, get the movie made, and see how much experience and box office subsidies he could get.

Version two is to shoot it again with a different male lead, then edit the movie and see how much box office subsidies and experience you can get.

In the end, whichever version has the higher subsidy will be the one released.

If the subsidies for both versions are very small, you can re-select the actors, replace the male and female protagonists, and shoot version three or version four. You must maximize the profits.

Among the seven people sent by Daniel, he unexpectedly saw the information of two acquaintances, Matt Damon and Matt LeBlanc.

But these two people are not suitable. Matt Damon is a nerdy type of actor, who looks honest, reliable and not very active, while the male protagonist Mika is more lively, reckless, a little childish, curious and likes to joke.

Matt Damon is clearly not a good fit.

Matt LeBlanc is the actor who played Joey in Friends.

I am 25 years old this year and have been working as an advertising model for four years.

He has starred in advertisements for big brands such as Levis 501 jeans, Coca-Cola, and Heinz sauce.

He is considered a celebrity in the advertising industry.

He has been developing in Hollywood for the past two years, but has not produced any big hit works yet.

Matt LeBlanc's appearance and personality are more suitable, but he has starred in several big-name commercials and is a familiar face, so he is not quite suitable.

After watching the audition videos of ten people, Link found a good actor named Jeremy Northam, 26 years old. In 1988, he played a small supporting role in a less famous mini-TV series "Bloody Sky".

Jeremy's performance in the audition was lively, with a childish smile.

Link selected three of the ten new actors to enter the second round of auditions.

When deciding who to use, we need to consider not only their personality and appearance, but also their performance when acting with Monica, whether the two of them match well, and whether they look like a couple when standing together.

"Daniel, please ask these three to prepare for the audition in three days. Tell them in advance that the crew has limited funds and the pay is $1000 per day. Those who think it is too little can choose not to participate."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Daniel collected the materials and left the room.

Link and Monica continued filming in the villa.

Bang!
On the day of the 19th, when the hero and heroine were having dinner, a loud banging noise was heard from upstairs.

The two were startled, and the male protagonist ran upstairs with the camera and searched everywhere in the bedroom, storage room, and bathroom, but found nothing.

“Our pictures.”

Monica yelled from outside.

"What picture?"

Link came out of the bedroom with a camera, sweeping the lens everywhere.

"Look at the wall."

On the wall outside the bedroom on the second floor, a glass photo frame hanging on the wall was shattered in the middle. It was a photo of the male and female protagonists.

There is a long scratch on the face of the actor in the photo. The scratch is rough and irregular, not like a cut by a knife, but rather a claw, and looks very ferocious.

"Fuck! What's going on? Why is my face scratched and yours isn't?"

Link held the camera and pointed the lens at the cracked photo frame.

"There's something here."

Monica whispered from behind.

"what?"

"It's here."

Monica remained motionless, her eyes looking carefully to the left and right, as if an invisible ghost was lurking beside her.

"What's here? What are you talking about?"

"I don't know, I feel it, I feel it breathing against me."

Monica stood stiffly in the aisle, her expression filled with fear.

Link pointed the camera at her and moved the lens up and down. There was nothing behind Monica, and suddenly her hair draped over her shoulders was blown up a little.

what! !

Monica screamed in fear and threw herself into Link's arms, wrapping her long legs around him.

"Cut!"

"Baby, you should run straight downstairs instead of running to me."

"I know, it just feels horrible."

Monica ruffled her hair and kissed his face.

"Don't scare yourself, there's no ghost. Let's try it again."

Link patted her butt.

"All right!"

"Scene 19, shot 6, 2, start!"

Monica screamed and ran downstairs quickly.

"Cut!"

The male protagonist searched upstairs in vain and looked at the camera as he went downstairs.

The evil spirit appeared in the daytime for the first time, doubling the horror atmosphere.

Dr. Frederick was invited to tell the heroine that the exorcist Dr. Adlais had gone abroad and would be back in a few days.

After Dr. Frederick entered the house, he shook his shoulders and shuddered, and told the two that the evil spirit was very powerful and did not welcome his presence at all, and he had no way to help them.

The doctor also told the two that it was useless to leave the villa because the evil spirit would always follow them.

After saying this, Dr. Frederick ran away in fear.

Only the hero and heroine were left in the villa. On the evening of the 19th day, the hero and heroine went to bed.

The camera continued to film the scene in the bedroom.

At around one o'clock in the middle of the night, the sheet covering the heroine was blown up, revealing her feet, and a pair of claw marks appeared on the sheet.

Outside the open door, the light in the corridor was turned on and then turned off after a few seconds.

A faint shadow floated across the white door.

There were strange noises coming from outside the room.

The heroine was awakened.

During the day on the 20th day, the male protagonist watched the video taken last night.

By checking the information, it was found that similar incidents occurred many times in the United States 60 years ago and 20 years ago, including the New York morgue incident, the Monteleone Hotel ghost incident, the Bell Witch incident in Tennessee, etc.

The most recent one was a haunted house incident in Connecticut in 1987, which is the only paranormal event acknowledged by the U.S. government so far.

In haunted house incidents, the owner of the house often heard strange noises in the house. Even when the FBI used scientific instruments to investigate, they were unable to find the cause.

The protagonist of the haunted house incident is also a woman, a young beauty. There was a fire in her home when she was a child, and her experience was the same as the heroine.

The atmosphere of terror continues to intensify.

On the evening of the 20th, the hero and heroine were sleeping in bed, and a faint shadow floated in through the open white door.

The quilt covering the heroine was lifted.

An invisible pair of hands grabbed the heroine's feet and dragged her from the bed to the floor, from the bedroom to the hallway.

The heroine's screams were heard from the corridor.

"Katie!!"

The hero jumped out of bed, opened the door that was suddenly closed, and rushed outside to snatch the heroine back from the invisible monster evil spirit.

During the day on the 21st day, the hero discovered scars on the heroine's back, as if she had been bitten by a monster.

The two planned to leave the villa.

The heroine, holding a cross in her hand, suddenly fell into a half-asleep state, looking sick and unwilling to leave.

The male and female protagonists continue to stay in the villa.

On the night of the 21st, in front of the camera, the heroine suddenly sat up in the middle of the night, got out of bed, stood beside the hero, and looked at him quietly.

More than an hour later, the heroine came downstairs.

The male protagonist woke up and went downstairs to look for it.

There were bursts of screams and cries coming from downstairs, and then they became quiet after a few seconds.

The atmosphere in the room became very depressing.

After more than ten seconds, dull footsteps were heard from the stairs outside the bedroom.

Suddenly, the male protagonist was thrown from the bedroom door to the camera lens. The camera was knocked crooked and captured the male protagonist's body on the ground and the female protagonist walking in step by step, her white T-shirt covered in blood.

"Cut!"

"Monica, walk slower and pay attention to the rhythm of your steps."

"3, 2, 1, start!"

Monica walked in slowly, with her long black hair and her T-shirt covered in blood. She slowly squatted down and lay on the male protagonist's neck. Then she slowly raised her head, her face covered in blood, and looked directly at the camera lens with a weird look, baring her teeth at the camera.

"Cut! Not bad!"

To be on the safe side, Link kept this shot and filmed another one. During the filming, Monica got deeper into the role of the heroine and things went more and more smoothly.

"Cut!"

"pass!"

"I declare that the filming of Ghost is temporarily finished."

Link shouted.

“Why is it temporarily finished?”

Monica asked, standing up.

"Edit it first and see how it turns out. If it doesn't turn out well, you'll need to replace the actor with another actor to match your performance. However, many of your shots are independent, and the male lead rarely appears in the shot holding the camera. It won't be too much trouble to do it again. It will take about three or four days to finish shooting."

"No problem, it feels great to live here, I hope I can stay a few more days."

Monica took the tissue and wiped the tomato juice off her face.

"I plan to buy this villa so I can come here for vacation in the future."

Real estate in San Diego County is much cheaper than in Los Angeles.

This house covers an area of more than 32.8 square meters, has two floors, four bedrooms, six bathrooms, an outdoor swimming pool, a basketball court, a garden and other facilities. It is priced at only US$, which is much cheaper than that in Beverly.

If "Ghost" is a big hit, the value of this property will increase, so you can buy it and treat it as an investment.

"Vacation? How dare you live here alone?"

Monica laughed.

"Don't we have you? Let's go together."

Link lowered his head and kissed her lips, which were soft and had the sweet and sour taste of tomato juice.

Monica hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

"God! It's happening again. I've had enough of you."

Chris Bauer, pretending to be a ghost, rolled his eyes at the door and walked downstairs with heavy footsteps.

Link kicked the door shut and fell on the bed with Monica in his arms.

Use her smooth and warm skin to reward yourself for the fatigue during this period.

The camera on the tripod continued to record everything that happened in the bedroom.

Suddenly a cool breeze blew up the curtains, and Link couldn't help but shiver.
