Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Since this film was shot by Qingshuishan himself with money.

So there is no need to pick a "lucky day" to shoot a film or TV series like some sponsors or investors.

Qingshuishan, who served as producer, director and screenwriter, just found a free Saturday and Sunday and called Kita Chengshi and other actors to prepare for the opening ceremony.

Although it is an opening ceremony, from Kita Chengshi's point of view, it is actually just a set of old routines.

It's nothing more than taking out a brazier, Qingshuishan stood next to the haunted house where the filming was to be carried out this time, threw Yunzhong Juejianji into it, and then everyone put their hands together and bowed, and the whole opening ceremony was over.

Kita Chengshi was very smooth with this whole process.

After a simple bow with the actors next to him, the whole filming crew officially entered the operation state.

The story structure of the movie is very simple. It tells that after being suspected of having an affair by her husband Takeo Saeki, Kayako Saeki was killed by him, and then she and her son Toshio Saeki, who was also killed, turned into a curse and killed everyone who broke into the room.

However, it is definitely not so easy to reveal the background relationship when shooting a horror movie.

This is equivalent to the fact that some people don’t like to watch video barrage when watching criminal investigation movies.

In this way, there is less suspense and horror of a horror story slowly unfolding and revealing the truth behind it.

So in order to avoid the disappearance of this suspense and horror.

Shimizu-san actually used a montage shooting technique to shoot "The Grudge" this time.

Simply put, it is actually to split a big story into several small stories, and then use the information fragments of each small story to explain the background of the whole big story and why Kayako and Toshio want to kill people, and the ins and outs of the curse.

One advantage of doing this is that the audience can gradually understand why Kayako and Toshio want to kill everyone who enters the mansion through the advancement of the plot.

But——

"It is indeed a little different from the previous life."

Sitting on his children's recliner, Kita Sumimi muttered to himself after briefly flipping through the script of "The Grudge" in his hand.

As mentioned before.

The plot of "The Grudge" and "The Grudge" is basically the same.

But the difference is that the script in his hand is not the script of the movie version of "The Grudge" in his impression, but more inclined to the plot of the videotape version of "The Grudge".

Even if it is a classic Japanese horror movie.

Before "The Grudge" became popular, it was first circulated in the market through the videotape version to test the water.

The result is that because the videotape version of "The Grudge" became popular, it led to the subsequent investment in the movie version of "The Grudge".

And the script in Kita Sumimi's hand is the plot of the videotape version.

It is divided into 7 small stories in total, and each small story is named after a character.

They are ① Toshio, ② Yuki, ③ Mizuho, ​​④ Katsumi, ⑤ Kanna, ⑥ Kayako, ⑦ Hibiki.

From the perspective of online literature, this is actually equivalent to 7 chapters.

As Toshio Saeki, Kitasumi actually does not appear in many scenes in this movie - really not many.

Among the 7 stories, Kitasumi only appears in 4 stories.

According to the division of the scenes in the script, they are ① Toshio, ③ Mizuho, ​​④ Katasami, ⑥ Kayako

Except for ① Toshio and ⑥ Kayako, he appeared for a longer time.

In the other two stories, Kitasumi is basically a small role, and his appearance time is only 1 minute. At most, he comes out to play the pale Toshio Saeki at the end to scare people.

And in order to show the sense of horror, Kitasumi only has one line in the whole film.

The rest of the time is basically a cat's cry - the black cat adopted by Toshio Saeki in the film was also turned into a curse after being killed. It is probably with this kind of unwillingness, so when Toshio Saeki opens his mouth, it is basically a cat's cry.

For this purpose, Qingshuishan also specially brought several black cats. In addition to using them during filming, he also planned to add the shrill sound of cats' meowing during post-editing.

So it's no wonder that Qingshuishan wanted to add two more lines to Kita Sumire.

This treatment is indeed too low for Kita Sumire now - not to mention adding more shots, at least you have to give some preferential treatment to your lines, right?

But Kita Sumire doesn't really care about this.

For horror movies, the weight of shots is indeed important.

But what's more important is how the actors can perfectly interpret the characters in the movie.

Thinking of this, Kita Sumire's eyes moved away from the script and exhaled heavily.

Although there is no need to remember the lines, there are still many small movements of Junxiong in the script, which require time to remember.

Fortunately, his brain is new and easy to use.

He just lowered his head and scanned for an hour or two.

He has memorized all the shots he is going to shoot today.

The story that Qingshuishan is going to shoot today is ① Junxiong and ⑥ Kayako's story.

These two stories seem to be separated, one in ① and the other in ⑥, but they can actually be seen as one story.

It tells the story of Shunsuke Kobayashi, the teacher of Toshio Saeki, who found that he had not come to class for a long time, and took the initiative to visit his home, and found that everything was wrong, and was finally killed by Kayako, who had turned into a curse.

The filming crew has set the main shooting location during this period in the "Kayako Haunted House" of the main stage of the movie.

So it must be priority to finish filming the plot in the haunted house first.

Therefore, as the actor of Toshio Saeki, one of the wraiths, Kitami Minoru naturally has to give priority to his scenes. More importantly, Kitami Minoru’s salary is the highest in the film. Qingmizuyama offered a salary of 1.7 million yen for half a month. , and his time was tight, so of course he had to give priority to filming all his shots.

As for the shooting scene on the first floor, it is almost ready now.

The floor was covered with shredded paper, garbage bags and other debris.

The ceiling is not high, and with the dim light from the setting sun outside the window, the whole space looks particularly depressing and painful.

"It's really good."

Kitaki Minoru nodded secretly to this.

I have to say, no matter how the outside world evaluates it.

Qingshuishan is quite good at background layout and photography aesthetics.

At least this kind of environment can make people feel uncomfortable and depressed at a glance.

Just when Kitazumi was about to continue to lower his head and glance at the script in his hand to familiarize himself with the plot——

"Beicheng-kun?!"

A surprised voice came from the side.

Kitaki looked up curiously, then smiled and said, "Ah, hello, Hosokawa-san."

Oops! Isn't this Chiori Hosokawa, who acted opposite him during the filming of "The Resentment"?

I didn't expect to see each other again in the Qingshui Mountain filming crew. Kitami was really surprised.

What made Kitumi Minoru a little confused was that when Hosokawa Chiori saw him, an old acquaintance, he didn't show the kind of 'meeting old friends' expression he had.

Instead, I felt a sense of trepidation and confusion.

In fact, this is indeed the mentality of Hosokawa Chiori.

You must know that more than half a month after filming "The Resentment", she almost suffered from psychological shadow.

As soon as I close my eyes every night when I go to bed, I feel that Kitumi Minoru is everywhere around me.

It feels like Minoru Kitazumi is crawling under the bed, on the ceiling, and in every corner!

She always felt that Kitumi was staring at her when she was taking a shower.

From this we can see the huge "psychological shadow" that was brought to her after the filming of "The Resentment" ended.

After she got out of the "psychological shadow" a little bit, she felt that she could handle Kitami Minoru.

He was dragged by his sister Hosokawa Shibaizumi to watch Kitami Minori's stage play performance.

Good guy.

The fear of being dominated once again came to mind.

She had nightmares for a whole week, and her phobia was relieved.

Turns out great guys.

Did you tell me that Kitami Minori also participated in the filming of "The Grudge"?

Chiori Hosokawa, who originally came here to shoot with a few actress friends she knew, now only wondered if someone was deliberately playing tricks on her behind her back.

Otherwise, why would you prefer Minoru Kitazumi?

And what is so good about death is the filming of this kind of horror movie?

If only I could have a hearty duel with Kitaki Minoru again.

She really felt that her heart couldn't bear it, and she fainted from fear on the spot.

So, when I heard Beicheng Minoru greeting her with a smile.

Hosokawa Chiori really forced a smile from her face.

"What a coincidence, Beicheng-kun. You are also filming here? Let me ask you, did you have any role in the seventh story?"

"The 7th story? Oh no. I play Toshio Saeki, and the 7th story is mainly about Kayako, right?"

Beicheng Minoru didn't hesitate much and simply answered.

Similarly, he was also a little confused. Chiori Hosokawa had met an old acquaintance. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, so why did he ask him about the filming part?

Chiori Hosokawa obviously doesn't understand Kitumi Minoru's psychological activities.

But when she heard that Bei Chengshi had no role in the seventh story, she was really relieved.

Her role was that of Xiangzi, mainly in the seventh story. Fortunately, she didn't hit the big truck Kitumi Minoru!

As for her other actress friends.

Hosokawa Chiori could only say sorry to them from the bottom of her heart.

Since the unlucky person is not her, then it is obviously them.

But...

"In that case, let's work hard together and make a good work together. Beicheng-kun."

The original trembling posture was also wiped away, and Hosokawa Chiori showed a gentle and confident smile to Kitumi Minoru in front of her.

Even if the unlucky person is really her, she won't be afraid at all!

To put it bluntly, it’s all just acting!

She is an adult!

I won’t be frightened by a kid like Kitami Minoru!

".OK."

Beicheng Minoru was stunned for a moment.

One second ago, Chiori Hosokawa looked like she was biting her lower lip and about to cry.

The next second, he suddenly became calm and confident.

Even Kitaki Minoru was a little surprised by the speed of this attitude change.

But forget it.

Kitaki Minoru lowered his head and simply looked at the time.

It's almost time for him to take the field.

Just when he was about to say hello to Hosokawa Chiori and leave.

Qingshuishan's call came from the other side.

"Koji Nakajo, is Koji Nakajo here? It's almost time for you to go on stage, so get ready."

"yes!"

Kitazumi followed the voice of Qingshuishan calling.

A young actor wearing a teacher's uniform with a somewhat feminine look stood up.

It seems that this Nakajo Koji should be the actor who plays opposite her, playing 'Kobayashi Shunsuke'.

Kita Sumire has some impression of him, he seems to be a second-tier actor who has been very popular recently.

But Chiori Hosokawa next to her seems to be a little dissatisfied.

The moment she saw Nakajo Koji stand up, she frowned, with an expression as if she saw a pest.

Kita Sumire blinked her eyes, a little surprised: "Sister Hosokawa, do you know this Nakajo-san?"

Chiori Hosokawa has always been a gentle big sister image of a good person in the filming crew, and it is rare to see her showing malice so blatantly.

Kita Sumire is naturally a little curious.

".I do know this guy, but it's all in the past."

Chiori Hosokawa shook her head.

It turned out that Nakajo Koji had pursued Chiori Hosokawa in a persistent way before. Chiori Hosokawa, who had never been in a relationship, saw that he was more sincere, and he looked pretty good. And they were both actors, and they might have the same topic in the future, so she was a little moved.

Who could have thought of the result?

"While pursuing me, that guy was also busy dating another actress in the industry. He is simply a complete scumbag!"

Chiori Hosokawa's pretty face flushed, and her body couldn't help shaking with anger.

Looking at this posture, if the movie was not still being filmed, she might have rushed up to slap this Nakajo Koji.

"So that's how it is."

Kitasumi Shi, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but glance at Nakajo Koji who was talking to Shimizu-san.

Actors and idols are different from professions that rely on fans. It's okay to have a normal relationship, but it's a bit too much for you to mess around.

You don't worry about your bad reputation at all.

Doesn't the agent restrain him?

Chiori Hosokawa saw Kitasumi Shi's doubts, and snorted in a soft voice: "Hmph, that guy's agent is the same as him! Neither of them is a good thing! When I came here just now, I heard them complaining in the back."

"Complain?"

Kitasumi Shi turned his head sideways.

"Yeah. She said that I shouldn't accept Director Shimizu's filming request. It's fine if the pay is low, but she also said that Director Shimizu is obviously an outdated director, and he still has so many requirements. She thought that the performance of this movie would continue to flop after it was released, and she said with a chuckle that she didn't intend to act seriously at all."

When she said this, Chiori Hosokawa was so angry that her chest was shaking.

Although her personality is much gentler, she is essentially the same as her sister Shibaizumi Hosokawa.

For people who are good at acting but have low character and frivolous personality, they are the most annoying.

"Kitasumi-kun, huh?"

Chiori Hosokawa lowered her head and wanted to say something to Kitasumi.

Her voice suddenly stopped.

Because she found out.

Kitasumi's expression changed.

The face that was smiling gently just now has now sunk and become expressionless.

Those deep black eyes are like a dark whirlpool, so deep that it makes people feel scared.

He just stared at Nakajo Koji without blinking.

A familiar fear and chill rose from the bottom of my heart.

Looking at Kitasumi who seemed to have the ‘murderous intention’, he glanced at Nakajo Koji who was retreating to the other side and preparing to start filming.

Hosokawa Chiori opened her mouth.

“Uh”

She remembered.

The next person to play opposite Kitasumi

seems to be Nakajo Koji?

I wrote a two thousand word draft at the beginning of today, so I delayed the update until now. I can only say that I will work hard to write the second chapter!

Come on!
