Entertainment: Stepmother’s daughter is actually a future queen

Chapter 249 "Encounter in the Cemetery", new script 1
"He said welcome to Maine."

In a shabby office, a black man with an egg-shaped head was talking enthusiastically to Xing Xueming beside him. Xing Xueming crossed his fingers and smiled at the black man while tilting his neck to face Lin beside him. fish translation.

"He said you are welcome to make movies in Maine, but he hopes you will include more of Maine's customs and customs to promote Maine."

"He said that the Maine Film Association would take care of it, and the rent would only be a nominal payment of [-]."

"You can modify it as you like inside, as long as you restore it afterwards."

"Say for me, thank him."

"He said, Thank you."

Lin Yu stood up, shook hands with the white man, and then walked out of the office. After all, Maine is easy to do. It is similar to the economy of some extremely remote areas with vast land and sparsely populated areas in the country. In smaller towns, Under the scope of the film, it is already a great thing to have a crew to shoot the scene.

When doing things here, it is really easy to get everything done. I successfully won the lease of a place, and the rest is no problem.

"Brother Xing, please go back first. I plan to stay here and read the information."

Lin Yu was still suspicious of the problem with his script. He was not sure for a while and planned to study it again.

"You're unfamiliar with this place, can you do that?" Xing Xueming was a little worried, "And the public security here is not good."

"Don't go out and wander around at night."

"Don't worry, I'm just studying the decoration and layout of my mental hospital. If there are any problems, I will go to the office to help me solve them."

"That's okay, you just have to know it yourself."
After explaining to Lin Yu for a while, and leaving the contact information of a local association translator, Xing Xueming took the car back, leaving Lin Yu alone in Maine.

Lin Yu began to immerse himself in the library, began to look for some local legend books, and started reading.

And I started to watch a lot of local horror movies and absorb some material from them.

These days, Lin Yu spends all day in the library or motel without leaving home.

The entire cultural history of Maine is very interesting. There are many legends and horror stories surrounding the Indians such as revenge, religion, witches, and fire.

There are also many "clown" stories.

"The customs of different countries are different." After reading the information for half a month, Lin Yu couldn't help but come to this conclusion with emotion.

For example, horror films that can scare people in China are usually from Southeast Asia, while when European and American horror films are introduced, they are usually acclimated because the culture and customs are different.

For example, clowns are the childhood shadow of many Americans, but in China they are only viewed as a fun character.

For another example, elements such as witches and evil spirits, when placed in China, basically become a setting in the Western fantasy style, and will not feel scary at all.

There are probably only two types of movies in Europe and the United States that can be related to the mainland. One is similar to horror cruises, with novel settings, and the other is bloody, such as Saw.

"In other words, local elements are not always the same!"

In the library, holding his chin and looking at a book in his hand, Lin Yu couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Among these books, there was a piece of information that aroused Lin Yu's thinking. In this era, in the 1880s and even before, lobotomies were popular to deal with mental illness.

It was first discovered by a neurological expert on the other side of the ocean that while investigating mummy corpses, many mummies had tiny holes in their celestial caps.

After research, it was found that these holes were used to treat epilepsy.

As a result, Moniz began to perform this kind of surgery on some extremely epileptic mental patients, and some patients became docile after surgery.

In 1935, at the Second Neuropsychiatric Society in London, John Fulton and Carol Jacobson proposed that lobotomy surgery on chimpanzees significantly reduced the aggression of chimpanzees.

After that, the surgery quickly began to spread. In the 20th century, no less than [-] such surgeries were performed in the United States.

But it is worth mentioning that doctors do not understand the principle of this type of surgery, which is exactly the same problem as the "empirical science" that criticizes traditional Chinese medicine. .I just think this might be useful.

It turns out that the results of this operation are completely random, half of them become stupid, and half of them become more irritable.

A mental hospital in Maine once performed such a procedure.

……

In the motel, Lin Yu stayed up all night playing some horror movies from Maine, including various horror novels by Stephen Edwin King.

Not satisfied after watching these Lin Yu, I continued to watch those domestic junk movies until the sky got slightly brighter.

"It's really..., it's so ugly, it's really torture."

After pressing the space bar on the computer to pause a domestic movie that plagiarized the Siam horror school genre, Lin Yu rubbed his face, his whole body in a trance.

I walked to the sink, washed my face, and then walked to the bed in a daze.

His face has brightened slightly, the clouds are light gray, and the fish-belly white light emits a soft light in the sky.

After staying up all night, even the young Lin Yu felt a little overwhelmed. His heart was beating very fast, and his chest hurt from the "bang bang bang" bang.

"I can't stand it anymore." Lin Yu shook his head, his mind seemed to be filled with a ball of paste, then he got to the bed and fell asleep.

After going through this, Lin Yu's whole body became confused day and night. He fell into a deep sleep, and his dreams were not stable. His brain was confused and confused as if he had slept for a long time.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu opened his eyes in a daze and unfinished state, staring blankly at the darkening ceiling in the room.

He got up, touched his head, and then hit his temple with the knuckles of his fists.

I touched my phone and looked at the time on it. It was already past six in the afternoon and the sun was about to set.

"I've slept for too long." Lin Yu dragged his dizzy body out of bed. Every day, Lin Yu even felt like he was rotting in the room.

Before it was completely dark, Lin Yu walked to a McDonald's one kilometer away to buy some food and take home.

On the street, some black men were wandering there. Lin Yu didn't want to cause trouble. After buying something, he hurried back and stayed in front of the computer, eating a burger and watching the remaining movies from yesterday.

After watching the content and movies for several days, Lin Yu's thinking has been greatly broadened.

"The content is homogeneous." Lin Yu couldn't help but murmured, revealing a huge problem in his script.

After watching the movies these days, Lin Yu always finds them ugly. Why are they ugly?
After just a moment's thought, you will know that all kinds of vulgarities are unfolding without any surprises in sight.

From the moment you take off your pants from the start, you know exactly what you're going to fart.

At the beginning of the school, Bi Xian knew at a glance that these people were going to commit suicide and then died.

Yin Yang Town, I knew from the first guess that I wanted to film the weirdness of this town. A group of people who wanted to die, finally died in it after many strange things, disbelief in evil, panic, and terror came.

The audience can’t see any sense of surprise! !How can the audience give you a favorable review for such a vulgar movie?

This can be regarded as a habitual thinking of the director. Everyone shoots like this. At least you can make some money by shooting like this. But those who do it in a slutty way will die even more miserably.

Under such a background, we are even more afraid to innovate, but is the problem really like this?
I'm afraid not at all.

The inherent logic of horror movies is common, but the story needs to be renovated.

"I know what the problem is!!"

Lin Yu punched the table. The confusion he had felt these days suddenly seemed to be cleared up.

"No wonder I always feel something is wrong. It turns out this is the problem!!"

Lin Yu murmured for a while.

For example, look at the Ghost Chronicles series. Why is it so successful?It’s not just the style of a pseudo-documentary or the shooting method of a handheld dv machine, but this kind of shooting method, extremely daily unfolding, you can’t guess what the subsequent unfolding will be like.

As the surprises progress, you know that the horror is progressing, but you can't help but keep watching.

This "new" story is one of its core!

The horror that happened inside a home.

This is also Guiying’s innovation!

It's not just a handheld dv player.

The reason why the subsequent Ghost Series failed is because after more than three films were filmed, the innovation of the story "Horror at Home" failed.

It suffers from the same problem as other horror movies, that is, as soon as you stick your butt out, the audience knows what you are going to do.

Can this not rot?
And it’s not just that the audience is tired of the horror routines.

Lin Yu couldn't help being horrified, he had fallen into the creator's strange circle!
A work that is clearly his own creation and a hit, something that is so clear to the eyes of the audience.

But for the creator himself, he turns a blind eye!
Another essence and innovation of Ghost Shadow is the horror story created based on "home"!
So, what about the cemetery encounter?

It seems that the number of people has been expanded, the location has been expanded, and the shooting method of handheld DVDs and pseudo-documentary style have been maintained, but the story does not grow from small to large.

But from one kind of novelty to another kind of vulgarity! !

A group of people go on an adventure to a place where there are rumors of horror. In the end, they will not die unless they commit suicide.

The whole army was wiped out there.

Isn’t this bad story the bad street of bad streets? ?
Just like this, you still want to sell money and deceive the audience? ?

Sitting on the stool, Lin Yu broke into a cold sweat on his back.

"I have long noticed that although expanding the scene from small to large is not necessarily a kind of strengthening, it is clear when looking at others, but when it comes to myself, I still suffer from the same disease!"

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yu couldn't help but lower his head, first turned on the desk lamp at hand, and then carefully examined the script in his hand.

So how should I modify this script? ?
"Fortunately, fortunately... I didn't simply brush this issue off, but got to the bottom of it. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster to make this movie!"

Even if you succeed a few times, you must not be careless!

In other words, this entire story is about to be overturned! !

Not even a tiny bit.

Moreover, we have to come up with a new, brand-new way to play.

Thinking of this level, someone else would have given up directly... Isn't this right? All the previous ones have been completely negated. It is necessary to transcend the entire market and create something new and not too deviant.

What else do you want to do if you don’t give up?If there is a story like that, why should I waste my energy?

"I'm stupid, I'm so stupid, who am I..., I'm an online novel author."

"Who else can make up stories better than me? Didn't I write the last bus on Route 13?"

"Why should I care how people in the film industry write scripts? Am I not allowed to copy scenes from novels??"

When his thoughts reached this level, Lin Yu was completely confused!

Psychiatric hospital, lobar surgery.

The terrifying part of the novel!
Combining these, a great, brand-new script with more profound and profound content has gradually been formed in Lin Yu's mind!
Lin Yu let out a long breath and raised his head with red eyes. The whole night had darkened, leaving only silence in the room, filled with the light of the desk lamp.

After staying up all night, Lin Yu could only burst out with endless inspiration.

"This is creation!"

Lin Yu tore up the entire notebook in his hand and started writing on a new page, "Encounter in the cemetery. New!"

As soon as the strong handwriting came out, Lin Yu took a deep breath and started writing in the blank space. Gradually, Lin Yu felt as if he was no longer in this motel.

A new, dark world enveloped Lin Yu.

……

Bowdoin College, a group of international students from the East, want to use Eastern 'spiritual medium' technology to investigate the "souls" existing in the world and whether there are really ghosts after death.

They call the show "Grave Encounters," encountering ghosts in a cemetery.

In the first six episodes, this program caused a great stir, and many people in Maine were very curious about this program that explored ghosts with Eastern elements.

These students from Bowdoin College even used a very professional set of equipment to investigate ghosts, including ultra-low-frequency recorders to record whether there were any sounds of ghosts.

Temperature detector ensures that fooling around can be caught immediately if the temperature suddenly drops.

Magnetic field recorder.

They even professionally divide the phenomenon of ghosts into two types: "residual hauntings" and "conscious hauntings."

Residual haunting refers to the sound of the past that keeps echoing and cannot leave. It is used to explain the strange movements that appear inexplicably in some haunted houses.

Another type called "consciousness haunting" means that ghosts really exist and exist in the form of souls, which can interfere with nearby areas.
