Returning from the abyss

Chapter 843 Opening Ceremony

The "highly anticipated" opening ceremony has finally come.

Early in the morning, crowds of people gathered in the square, Lu Ning came early, and as one of the photographers invited by Wei Zhan, she could get a better position with her certificate.

Of course, she has no part in cutting the ribbon.

Fortunately, at least she didn't meet a few more "acquaintances" today, which made her feel at ease to watch the people on stage this time.Yin He, as the representative of the management, will of course also be present, and the three main directors are also on the stage. Besides, the main actors, the main person in charge of the base... a total of more than 20 people stood on the stage covered with red cloth In front of the masked camera.

Starting from Yin He, several of these people stood up and gave speeches.Lu Ning turned her head to look behind while listening, but unexpectedly found that there were not many people.

Most of them are crew members, and there are some people who look like the base. The number is probably less than 100. Those actors may not all come here. Lu Ning saw Chen Nai, Ling Yan and Sun Danzhu, and the three of them sat down Not far behind her, they were still talking in a low voice, as if they had talked about something very interesting.

Tang Yuexin and Joseph were not seen, but this was normal.

Lu Ning turned her head, and the person speaking on the stage had changed. It seemed to be the network anchor named Bei Mu Da. He also has his own live broadcast team, and he should be very professional in live broadcasting.As an anchor, Bei Mu Da easily brought up the atmosphere of the scene...

But it didn't become a sentence in Lu Ning's ears.

What is he saying?
【22 At noon in summer, the breeze blew across the marigold grass, the father held the child's hand, and the sister went to nowhere. 】

Lu Ning couldn't help shaking her head vigorously, she always felt that her sanity seemed a little unclear,
"...I will do my best to cooperate with the two directors and present you the most perfect work!"

After saying this, Bei Muda bowed and received warm applause.

Then, two directors, Wei Zhan and Jing Xinglan, also took the stage.This time Lu Ning heard their arrangement clearly.

The three directors are responsible for the shooting work in their respective fields. Jing Xinglan mainly shoots a variety show, mainly to promote this film and television base, and uses different sections for shooting in each episode.Wei Zhan is in charge of filming a 52-episode unit TV series, and this part will promote the specific shooting effect.Of course, North Muda is in charge of the scene, or on behalf of the audience to explore the part of the base that interests them the most. It should be for the promotion of tourists and group performers coming here in the future.

The important point here is that the three shooting projects actually overlap.The investor wanted to show the same scene under different perspectives, so he arranged this method of cross-shooting, which also shows the investor's confidence in the base.

Finally, when everyone lifted the red curtain of the camera, the whole opening ceremony was declared a complete success.Lu Ning also stood up and applauded with the crowd to create an atmosphere. Her mind was still a little confused. She felt as if she had heard something, but she had no specific impression.

--look?
Lu Ning suddenly felt a thorn in her back, and hurriedly looked back, but she could only see a group of people applauding excitedly, but did not find any pair of eyes staring at her.

This feels terrible.

After the ceremony, she received the script from Wei Zhan on the way back to the hotel.

Unit dramas, in fact, each story is only two to three episodes long, consisting of a total of twenty stories.Lu Ning roughly glanced at the title of the episode. This script is adapted from ancient strange stories, and it probably incorporates some real events, so it contains a lot of things.But such a series seems to be difficult to shoot attractively. After all, if the story is too short, it will test the director's ability.

No, that wasn't what she was thinking about.

"The Haunted House of the Ling Mansion" and "The Abandoned Temple" are the first two stories.

Back in the room, she began to flip through the script, but after a quick reading, the result still disappointed her—there were not many real supernatural stories in these two stories.In other words, the supernatural plot involved in it is the very common "scholar at the night ghost meeting" and "spiritual beast repaying favor". Although the story itself is well adapted, she can't see it from this story at all. What danger is coming.

At this time, she heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and then the door was slammed.Lu Ning frowned, got up and went to open the door, only to find that it was Mei Yu.

"what happened?"

"Well...you are in the room, has anyone else come back?" Mei Yu asked impatiently.

"I remember that Ke Daolin and An Youxi wanted to ask Yin He a few questions when they were leaving the show. As for Guo Xiao and Qu Yi, they also had some matters. Anyway, the gathering time is also in the afternoon, as long as they can go to the shooting location at that time, I think After reading the script, I came back first, what's wrong?" Lu Ning said.

"Didn't come back? Then... Then..." Mei Yu scratched her head, "Then who did I see? What did I find? No, no, who did I talk to?"

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ning grabbed her wrist. If this was really Mei Yu's first fourth-order scene, she might not be mentally prepared to deal with it.

"I—I'm fine." Mei Yu's expression suddenly calmed down, as if she had changed her face.She gave Lu Ning a dull look, "You've been here all along, right?"

"Uh... yes."

"Your name is Lu Ning, isn't it?"

Lu Ning didn't know why she asked this question, but just nodded.

"We are at the Lvsong Mountain Film and Television Base..." Mei Yu slowly pushed away Lu Ning's hand, "Yes, I found...that thing."

After saying this, Mei Yu suddenly turned around and rushed to the direction of the elevator. Lu Ning hesitated for a moment and immediately chased after her. Mei Yu's current state was very wrong, and she couldn't let the tourists directly reduce staff at the beginning of this scene.

Fortunately, the elevator came slowly. When Lu Ning came over, Mei Yu was still waiting there.Her expression was awkward, her hands and fingers were folded together, as if she hadn't noticed Lu Ning's approach at all.Even when the elevator came up, she and Lu Ning both walked into the elevator, and Mei Yu still fell silent after pressing the button on the first floor as if in a fugue.

"Mei Yu, Mei Yu?" Lu Ning tried to call her twice, but Mei Yu still didn't respond as if she was wandering away.

After arriving on the first floor, Mei Yu walked out of the elevator. She was abnormal so that outsiders could not see it. Lu Ning quickly took a few steps to keep up, and took out her mobile phone to send messages to other tourists. They hurried over to see what was going on.

Mei Yu ran towards the No. [-] area at a speed similar to running, but the distance was not short.Area No. [-] is in the north of Area [-], where everyone is located. It is a block designed as a modern town shooting location, without high-rise buildings.When Lu Ning followed Mei Yu to the junction, she even felt a little tired. In this world, her body is at the level of ordinary people. Because her profession is photography, her physical strength is better than ordinary people, but she can't help running like this.

Meiyu stopped at the junction, and there is no one here now.She spread her arms, her head lifted slightly, her mouth opened wide, as if swallowing something out of the air.Lu Ning frowned, she couldn't understand what Mei Yu's intention was, but it seemed that it would be better not to let her continue.

She ran over and pulled Mei Yu violently, so strong that she even staggered.Mei Yu suddenly began to cough violently, as if a drowning person was pulled out of the water, she coughed profusely and was in great pain.Lu Ning grabbed one of her arms to keep her from squatting down, but found something slipping between Mei Yu's fingers covering her mouth.

Those are gray leeches that are as thick and short as fingers. They have huge mouthparts, but there are only some jagged teeth inside, and there are fine and dense small scales on their bodies.Lu Ning hurriedly let go of her hand, and Mei Yu's cough gradually stopped. She let go of her hand, panting heavily, and slowly adjusted herself.

At this time, Ke Daolin had already arrived. She rented a bicycle and came at the fastest speed.Lu Ning told her about Mei Yu's abnormal situation before, and finally talked about what she coughed up suddenly.

"...she just spit out something that looked like a leech, right here—"

Lu Ning paused, she looked back, what Meiyu spit out was just some half-digested breakfast, food residue, but where are there any leeches in it?
"See things that don't exist?" Ke Daolin is also well-informed, and she didn't directly question the untrue part of Lu Ning's words. She walked to Mei Yu and helped her up, stretched out her hand to press several places on her face, Mei Yu Slowly a little sound came out.

"Where am I...?"

"You are on your way to Area [-] now, do you remember why you came here?" Ke Daolin asked.

"I remember... I remember I heard a sound, someone knocked on the door... yes, someone knocked on the door." Mei Yu supported her forehead, and her eyes finally returned to normal, "I don't remember who it was, it seems that there is something between us. Some conversations? I feel like I'm under pressure, like... diving, I smell fish, the guy told me where I should go. But I feel uneasy, I don't feel like I should go... uh ...I can't remember..."

Mei Yu's memory was still very confused, Lu Ning and Ke Daolin looked at each other, and then said: "I didn't hear any knocking on the door in the room until she knocked on my door."

"Really? I really have no impression. I went to find you?" Mei Yu looked at Lu Ning, "I resisted, probably at that time I went to you? What did I say?"

"A bunch of nonsense, do you want me to tell you when I go back?" Lu Ning shrugged.

"...If it's too embarrassing, I don't want it." Mei Yu smiled a little weakly, "I haven't figured out what is going on in this scene, but I think something is wrong with me, and this is just the beginning..."

"Adjust your spirit and strengthen your will. This is not a scene that tests your physical fitness, but your spiritual quality. If you can't hold on, you will be swallowed by the scene." Ke Daolin patted Mei Yu's back, "When you meet For anything, contact us immediately, and if you can’t get in touch, calm down and find a way to deal with it yourself, this is the basic quality of tourists, since you can reach the fourth level, then you can do it yourself.”

"Uh... thank you."

"Tourists should help each other if there is no conflict of interest," Ke Dolin said encouragingly.

Although it looks harsh on the surface, Ke Daolin seems to be really leading the "newcomer" Mei Yu.Lu Ning glanced at her serious face, noncommittal.

After taking Mei Yu back, he had a short break and had lunch, and in the afternoon he went to the first shooting location, which was the Ling Mansion that everyone had seen before for shooting.

This is a script that is not very interesting in Lu Ning's opinion. It is roughly a clichéd story about a young man's family being destroyed because of a fight with the Ling family, and then trying to find ways to enter the Ling mansion for revenge.It is mixed with a little bit of love and hatred that people love to see now, forming two episodes... well, two episodes are okay.

However, as a camera, Lu Ning has little say in the plot. Wei Zhan has already arranged most of the affairs of the shooting location with the assistant directors, and the actors are already in place. Lu Ning found Ling Yan and Chen Nai They are also here, and from the costumes they have dressed up combined with the script, she can also see what roles they are playing.

Ling Yan's role is "Master", one of the teachers who taught the protagonist martial arts after he entered Ling's mansion, which is also in line with what she is good at.As for Chen Nai, she plays the second lady of the Ling family. She is quite cute in appearance, and the second lady in the script is also an innocent and lovely character. To put it bluntly, she just needs to be a vase.

The leading actor is a young actor named Chai Ying whom she doesn't know, and he is actively discussing the script with various actors who are in the same play.The supporting actors were also selected by Wei Zhan. He attached great importance to the script of the first act. Lu Ning didn't have time to look back, so he didn't know what the follow-up development of these unit dramas would be like.

"It's two o'clock, everyone, get ready to start work!"

Following Wei Zhan's order, everyone took their seats, and Lu Ning also arrived at her seat. This time, everything she saw through the camera was normal.She controls the camera and adjusts the best angle under lighting.

In the first act, the male protagonist enters the Ling Mansion.

Lu Ning doesn't care about the plot and acting skills, she just needs to do the filming well.The distribution center gave her the memory of the cameraman's work, which made it easy for her to get started. Soon, her attention was focused on the screen, capturing light and color, characters, framing, distance...
