This director is vindictive.

Chapter 38: Eat more, put more, on the actor's self-cultivation
The filming of "Mr. Vampire" did not progress quickly at the beginning.

The main reason is that many people are not particularly familiar with this thing, including Uncle Ying.

So the shooting was quite slow at the beginning.

Although Chen Mo is very familiar with the setting, he also needs to let the crew and actors know the effects and style he wants, so a running-in period is essential.

However, although "Mr. Vampire" is named after zombies, it is still a comedy.

Moreover, there are no particularly big-name actors in the crew, and everyone's status is not that high, so there are not so many ridiculous intrigues.

There were a lot of fun things during the filming.

For example, the scene where Wencai farts in the play. In the original version, the plot is that when zombies find the Ren family, Wencai and Ren Tingting are trying to avoid the zombies. In the scene, Wencai and Ren Tingting have just finished avoiding the zombies, but he can't help but fart, which attracts the zombies. This scene is not in the original "Mr. Vampire" or "New Mr. Vampire". It was edited and parodied by netizens in the new version. However, Chen Mo thought this plot was interesting, so he added it in. In fact, it was just filmed as a side job and may not be included in the edit.

Of course, Huang Bo wasn't forced to fart during the filming of this scene. Chen Mo had just mentioned to Huang Bo the day before that he could eat something that would easily cause him to fart. But really, Chen Mo just casually mentioned it as a precautionary measure, as farting is difficult to control after all! Furthermore, Chen Mo couldn't force him to fart regularly during filming; that would be too inhumane.

However, in order to perform well in this scene, Huang Bo actually ate a lot of onions, garlic and leeks before filming the scene.

However, sometimes, hard work does not necessarily lead to good results.

"Mr. Vampire, Scene 26, Shot 2!"

The script supervisor hadn’t finished shouting when the result was: “Bloop, boom, boom!”

The series of farts left the script supervisor dumbfounded.

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and everyone was stunned at that moment.

Then everyone followed the source of the sound and saw Huang Bo standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.

He kept bowing and apologizing: "Sorry, sorry, director, I couldn't hold it back."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The entire crew suddenly burst into laughter, and Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What can he do? Actors are too dedicated to their profession. He can't just curse at others. Huang Bo, why can't you hold back?
"Okay, stop laughing. Hey, this taste is indeed a bit strong! No, what did you eat?" Chen Mo couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand. The taste was really sour.

The other people in the crew also covered their mouths and noses.

Huang Bo said somewhat awkwardly, "I just ate some onions, garlic, and leeks."

Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Huang Bo, then suddenly fell silent and applauded.

There was a burst of applause.

Everyone looked at Huang Bo with different eyes.

Dedicated people are respected wherever they go. Even though Huang Bo is not a big star at the moment and looks quite abstract, you can't help but say that he is indeed dedicated, even though it's a bit too much.

You have to know that Chen Mo didn't ask him to do these things, he did it purely on his own initiative.

Garlic, onions, leeks, are these things really that delicious? And just by smelling them, you can tell he probably ate a lot.

Although it may have been counterproductive, this spirit is truly admirable.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!" Huang Bo was also a little moved and kept bowing to express his gratitude.

"Ahem, then you just bear with it for a while. By the way, how about you put a few more in first? And then hold it in for a big one?" Chen Mo said suddenly.

"Ah?" The smile on Huang Bo's face froze.

How can he put more of them in? But the director has already spoken, what can he do? This director looks at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, and I didn’t expect that he is really not a human being!
"Then let me try?" Huang Bo could only say with a bitter face.

"Well, tell me when you're ready, ahem." Chen Mo said as he put on his mask silently.

Well, then he looked up and found that everyone in the crew, except the actors, had put on masks. The masks were prepared earlier because artificial fog was sometimes used in this drama, so masks were prepared in advance for everyone.

No one expected that it would be used at this time.

"Plop, pop, pop" Huang Bo tried really hard, his face was almost twisted into a knot, but the effect was also very good, a series of familiar sounds kept coming out.

The smell is really strong, and the way Huang Bo sticks his butt out and ejaculates is really funny and sad.

Everyone laughed from time to time, but seeing how hard Huang Bo worked, they couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"I'm fine, Director! Please come faster!" Huang Bo was almost crying.

The feeling was really uncomfortable, and my butt was burning.

"Okay, stop laughing. All departments should take their positions and hurry up!" Chen Mo picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

Soon the scene was filmed again, and this time, it went very smoothly and the effect was perfect.

After just this one shot, Chen Mo just shouted, "Okay, this one passed!"

The next moment, Huang Bo covered his butt and ran towards the bathroom.

Then when he came back again, he had changed his pants. However, no one said anything. Everyone looked at Huang Bo with admiration in their smiles.

Why change pants? Everyone understood that although it was a very embarrassing thing, no one mentioned it. When it was mentioned, it was not a joke, but everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Chen Mo quickly took advantage of this opportunity to change the scene and asked people to prepare another breath-holding scene.

After all, the suffering Huang Bo endured today must have some value!

I have to say that after watching the footage shot on the monitor, Chen Mo felt very satisfied. The expressions when really smelling something and when pretending to smell something are two completely different things. What stands out is the naturalness.

After filming two scenes of holding breath and farting, today's shooting plan is almost done.

After dinner, everyone gathered together as usual. When there was no filming at night, everyone would often get together to chat. However, since they were just sitting around doing nothing, someone suddenly suggested, "That breath-holding scene we filmed today was quite fun. Why don't we just play a game of 'hide and seek with the lights off'?"

"Turn off the lights and play hide-and-seek? How do we play?" The rich young woman was most interested and asked the first question.

"We can imitate the scene of filming during the day. Let one person play the zombie, and then everyone can hide in different places in the room and turn off the lights so that they can't be seen. The person playing the zombie can rely on the faint sounds of breathing and footsteps to judge the position of the other party. Whoever is caught first will be the zombie, how about it?" the man explained.

"This is fun, let's try it."

"Try it!"

"Count me in!"

"Wouldn't it be a little scary with the lights off?"

Everyone was very interested in this game for a while. Although the girls thought turning off the lights might be too scary, when asked if they wanted to play, they were more enthusiastic than anyone else.

"I'll be a zombie! I'll be a zombie!" The rich young woman volunteered immediately.

Naturally, no one would object.

Chen Mo and his friends are now in an old house in the countryside of his hometown. This old house was the mansion of a wealthy family in the village in the early years. Later it was abandoned. In order to film, Chen Mo specially asked someone to renovate it. The space here is quite large, and it can be used for filming. However, because this place was specially chosen and there are no other houses nearby, once the lights are turned off, you can hardly see anything inside the house.

"Turn off the lights!"

"I started counting, 1, 2, 3"

Soon as the light switch was pressed, the whole old house fell into darkness. Everyone fell silent and began to hide.

For a moment, there were only the sounds of breathing, footsteps and the counting of the rich woman.
