Chapter 15 How about going to make a movie?

"Tch, a group of little girls are learning how to hold a camera. Do you know what a camera is? Do you know movies? Do you know Hollywood?"

When Catherine and the others hurried out, they saw Lily arguing with someone at the door.

But they seemed to have finished arguing, and the man turned around and left.

This man was dressed like a hippie, with a careless look on his face, and he almost didn't have the words "delinquent youth" written on his face.

Although hippies have not yet appeared, similar dressing can be traced back to the 1920s. Most of the people who wear such clothes are rebellious youths in adolescence.

"What's wrong? Lily?" Catherine hurried over and asked.

"That guy! That guy actually said that our photography club is a mess and that we are just playing house... Oh, my God, how could he say that!"

"Forget it, Lily, we don't need to care about that kind of person, he just has a brain disability."

Cerebral disabilities can be found everywhere, but there are always some people who feel good about themselves and think that others are suffering from such diseases.

In this case, there is no need to be angry with the other party. After all, the other party is just a little gangster who can be seen everywhere. To put it in a cliché, talk to him - the price will drop.

"Brain disability?"

Lily laughed when she heard this. This episode seemed to have passed, but she suddenly looked at Catherine with excitement.

"Kate, let's go make a movie!"

"ha?"

How could such an idea suddenly pop up?

Maybe he was angry with that bad young man?

Catherine thought about it carefully, and she was not sure yet that she had any videos worth shooting.

In her previous life, Catherine had studied directing, but it was just for fun and she did not study seriously at all. Just like she also studied some electronic engineering, but now her integrated circuit TV only has one electrical board.

, it’s all half a bucket of water.

It's definitely not original.

But if it’s plagiarism... there’s probably no problem, right?

When she returned home, Catherine was still thinking about this problem.

"godfather"?

It’s a very good series, but do you have the money? Can you afford to hire an acting star?

The answer is no, she can't afford any stars.

It seems like it can only be used in B-level movies.

But will Lily accept it? After all, she wants to feel proud, and Catherine doesn't want to let her down. B-level movies are indeed low-cost, but if you want to make money, that's another matter.

etc……

Catherine suddenly thought of something.

Maybe it really works?

——Blair Witch.

This horror film shot by a few college students really has no demand for the times. The most important thing is only one thing: hype.

Moreover, this is not just a general hype, but a movie being hyped as a documentary. It was naturally difficult to hype this kind of film when the Internet became popular later, but it is different now. This is an era where information development is slightly lagging behind.

, now is the time to film "Blair Witch"!

The documentary technique of "Blair Witch" gives every viewer a very real feeling, allowing the audience to naturally bring themselves into the world of "Blair Witch". Every move of the protagonists attracts the audience.

Our heartstrings. The whole film is completed in one go, and the story rhythm is narrated step by step, creating a scary atmosphere bit by bit. Although there are basically no bloody scenes in the whole film, and the true face of the witch is not shown, it makes people feel it from the bottom of their hearts.

The horror atmosphere permeated by the story. The first-person shooting technique of "Blair Witch" can be said to be quite successful, and it also set a precedent for subsequent films of the same type of shooting technique.

As a representative of B-level movies, the filming of this movie was almost not difficult for Catherine. She has practiced it after all. As long as the hype is appropriate, everything will be done.

And then what else?

The scene is quite simple. You could find such secluded and weird places in the 1990s, but it was even simpler in the 1960s.

By the way...actor!

As for the starring roles, there are three people in total, probably two women and one man depending on the needs.

Why do we need boys?

It's simple, because there is no dv equipment now, and the camera is very heavy...

Although there are relatively small devices, they are relatively large.

However, it is actually not too difficult to shoot that kind of documentary technique. After all, there are many movie lovers nowadays, and there are endless low-cost films shot with various portable devices, and this technique is also very commonly used.

Ignoring the male protagonist for now, the two female protagonists, Catherine is planning to take action on her own.

"But who will come with the other one?"

She suddenly thought of Ada, who seemed to be very interested in making movies.

When she returned to school, she came to Ada's room as soon as possible.

"Would you like a drink of water?" Ada poured a glass of water and handed it to Catherine.

"Thanks."

"Is there a problem?"

Catherine didn't seem like someone who would drop by, so Ada asked.

"I thought of a script, maybe we can make a movie! Ada, we'll play the lead!"

Be the protagonist of a movie!

Catherine felt excited just thinking about it.

After all, who doesn’t want to be famous? In ancient China, there were many people who valued fame more than anything else.

She doesn't have to worry about making money, she also wants some fame... cough.

"You? Make a movie?"

"right!"

Catherine shared her vision and the outline of the script.

Ada seemed a little excited as she listened. She may not know the benefits that "Blair Witch" may bring, but she is very grateful to Catherine. She even suddenly felt that she had gone too far before and even prepared that kind of thing.

"What's wrong?"

Catherine asked.

"No, it's nothing." Ada looked at Catherine, her eyes were a little complicated, but the deep hostility seemed to be much less.

Girls are so elusive.

No one knows what they are thinking.

Suddenly, Ada smiled evilly: "Actually, I have something better than Mr. Jiao, do you want to try it?"

"No! Absolutely not!!"

Catherine stood up as if she was electrocuted.

She seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit big, and then she acted uneasily.

"I'm sorry, I feel a little... uncomfortable."

Catherine shook her head.

Although that thing is indeed very comfortable, for some reason, when she thinks about that thing, it becomes difficult for her to concentrate and she becomes irritable. Maybe it is the male consciousness that dominates the body, right?

"Maybe you should see a psychiatrist... by the way!"

Ada thought for a while.

"I know a psychiatrist. His hypnotherapy is amazing. Maybe you can try it?"

Hypnotherapy?

Catherine has heard of it, but there are some differences between real hypnotherapy and the ones in novels. It is impossible to control the mind. Hypnotherapy is just a very simple psychological therapy, not as magical as imagined.

In the United States, seeing a psychiatrist is not something to be embarrassed about. If you have a problem, just go see one - of course, the above is only for the middle class and above.

But... maybe you can give it a try?

Catherine actually had some expectations.
