Hollywood Director 1992

“I want to apologize to everyone, I was too naive, I'm really, really sorry, I'm sorry for everything that happened.”

In front of the camera, Renée Zellweger said while crying into the camera,

“No matter what Mike says now, it's all my fault, because it was my idea to come here, and my insistence, my insistence on everything, I insisted that we weren't lost, I insisted on continuing to walk, going south. Everything was ruined by me, we are cold and hungry, and injured, we will die here... I love you Mom and Dad, I'm sorry.”

“Cut!”

“I declare, the movie is finished!”

Link and the crew spent eight days in Illinois filming all the shots.

Because the filming schedule was relatively tight, six or seven groups of shots had to be filmed every day, and sometimes filming was still going on in the middle of the night, so everyone was quite tired by the end of the filming.

Link was also very tired.

He first went around to attend book signings, and didn't rest after returning, then he filmed the movie with the crew, trekking through mountains and rivers every day, exposed to the wind and sun. If it weren't for his unusually abundant physical strength, it would have been difficult to persevere.

Besides him, the crew members also followed him into the woods these days, getting up early and working late, and were also very tired.

After he announced that the movie was finished, everyone cheered loudly.

“Link, when can the film be edited?”

Sofia Coppola walked over wearing a windbreaker and shouted from the side of the road.

“Next week, I'll try to edit the movie next week.”

Link and Chris Bauer said while packing up the equipment.

“Okay, remember to call me after editing, I want to see how the finished product is, don't put my name on it if it's too ugly.”

“It won't be, this will be a good movie.”

Link smiled.

“I don't know if the movie is good or not, but you are indeed a good director. I learned a lot from you. Thank you.”

Sofia's voice suddenly became very gentle.

“Let's learn from each other. I come from a wild background and don't have enough professional knowledge. Working with you these days, I've also learned a lot from you. We're even.”

Link smiled.

Sofia looked at him, then suddenly snorted, “Last time you said you wanted to go on a date with me, were you serious?”

“Last time? When?”

“The day after you gave me 'Interstellar' in the office, I called to praise your book, and you also said I was very good, and agreed to go on a date with me, have you forgotten?”

“Oh, it was last month, right? I remember, aren't we together every day these days considered a date?”

Link joked.

“How can this count? You are always dirty, covered in dirt or sweat, how can this be a date? The date I'm talking about is a formal date.”

“Okay, after editing the movie, I'll take you to eat Chinese food.”

“You said that, don't forget.”

Sofia hugged him and got into the car and left.

Bang!

Chris Bauer carried a large wooden box and put it in the carriage, wiping the sweat from his body, "Link, Sofia is definitely in love with you, I often see her staring at your face in a daze."

“Don't talk nonsense, what is this? I don't remember the crew having such a large item.”

Link patted the box.

“These are props, the results of our props team's labor these days.”

Chris Bauer opened the box to show him. Inside were dozens of crosses, human-shaped puppets, strange symbols, and more than a dozen black stones made of ropes, wooden sticks, and branches.

These are the objects that the protagonists encountered when they got lost in the forest, the witch tools that the witch used to cast spells in the rumors.

In the movie, it is mainly used to create a terrifying and eerie atmosphere.

For the sake of realism, Link didn't use those exquisite objects, but only asked the props team to take materials locally and make some casually, which also led to these 'witch tools' being very rough and abstract. At first glance, they are just a pile of rotten branches, and a closer look reveals that they are still rotten branches.

“What are you taking these things back for? Firewood?”

“Haha, Link, don't underestimate these branches, they are treasures. Do you remember which props were used when filming 'Buried'?”

“What do you mean?”

“Haha, after the movie was filmed, I collected those props, including mobile phone models, lighters, flashlights, glow sticks, knives, etc. Later, 'Buried' sold well, and I heard that the props in the movie could also be sold for money. I tried to take those props to sell, guess how much I earned?”

“So you plan to take these sticks back to sell?”

“That's right. When I first entered the industry, I thought being a prop master was boring, but now I find that being a prop master is too interesting. Not only can I use my specialties, but I can also earn some extra money. It's so wonderful.”

Chris Bauer excitedly flexed his arm muscles.

“Then you have to take good care of them. This movie won't be released for several months. Don't wait until it's released and they're all rotten.”

Link shook his head and didn't interfere with Chris Bauer's actions. Some of the props in the crew were rented, some were bought, and some were made by the props team.

There is no mistake in the first release!

Valuable props will be divided up and sold after filming, and useless props will be thrown away. It does not violate the crew's rules for Chris Bauer to keep a pile of useless sticks and prepare to sell them for money.

“Link, don't change the subject. I just said that Sofia is in love with you. You also have Monica and Jennifer. I advise you to learn from me and exercise more, otherwise so many girls will tire you to death.”

Chris Bauer said.

“Don't worry, I'm in good health.”

Link looked at the equipment on the car and asked Daniel DeVito and Chris Bauer to count it carefully. After the car was loaded, they left.

“Link, is there still room in this car?”

Renée Zellweger came over dragging her suitcase.

“Yes, sit in the back row.”

Link took her things and put them in the trunk.

“Tsk, another one is coming.”

Chris Bauer glanced at Renée's figure, secretly worried about Link's body.

“Is everything ready?”

“Ready.”

“Let's go!”

After returning to Los Angeles, Link rested at home for a few days before returning to the company's editing studio to edit "The Blair Witch Project."

The plot of this movie is very simple, and the structure is also very simple. It is about a female college student, Annie, who hears the story of the Blair Witch in the newspaper, finds two companions, and drives to Illinois to find the Blair Witch.

Eventually, they get lost in the forest and are successively killed by the Blair Witch.

A year later, people discovered the film they left behind, recording everything that happened before they disappeared.

This movie tells the entire process of their journey from departure to death being recorded by the camera, and can also be called 'The Death Trip of Three College Students'.

The original version was released in 1999, with a cost of $60,000, grossing $248 million worldwide, and pioneered the "pseudo-documentary" horror film, which caused many filmmakers to imitate it. "Paranormal Activity" is one of the followers.

Now he will first film "Paranormal Activity" and then film "The Blair Witch Project", reversing the order of the two films.

Whether this movie can still be as successful as the original remains to be seen.
