Chapter 265 [Someone Died]

2021, April 12.

Los Angeles, USA.

As the end of the year approaches, the crew of "Death Comes" is filming intensely in the United States. There are very few locations in the United States, and the filming schedule has been arranged before the filming starts.

The crew chose the shooting location at the beginning, because it is a night scene, and it is necessary to reflect the modern urban feeling of Los Angeles. Obviously, the neon lights in English are shining like a bright galaxy, shining brightly in this bustling city at night.

The shooting location was in a roadside restaurant, with a few tables and chairs outside, and American extras sat at other tables to order food, and there were waiters preparing to appear on the scene.

Although "Death is Coming" is a horror film, it can be considered a low-cost production, but there are still some difficulties in the death of the characters in the plot, especially in the scene like tonight, which needs to be hit by a bus. There are billboards coming down.

This link is linked together. Although most of it is the post-editing credit, some important shots still need to be shot. How to plan such a shot, or start from scratch, will be very complicated.

The makeup artist on the side was still touching up the makeup of the three leading actors, and the next scene required Bao Shiyi, Xu Chen, and another actor, Gong Yu.

Everything is ready, and the final shooting will begin.

……

"Okay, all departments are preparing, No.40 is the first time in three games."

With the order of the scene recorder, all departments began to shoot this scene.

Bao Shiyi and the others were sitting at the dining table, and the extras who played the role of waiters at the side also served Bao Shishi and the others.

"We've thought of coming here from the beginning."

Bao Shiyi glanced around, and there was a sense of relief in his eyes. He sighed and said, "Finally we solved the mystery, but I just miss them a little bit."

Obviously, they are those who died on the plane, as well as Lin De and others who did not escape the pursuit of death.

Gong Yu picked up the glass of wine in front of him and said, "To Linde!"

Xu Chen took a look, picked up his own glass of wine, and said, "Smile!"

In the end, Bao Shiyi said, "For those friends who didn't make it here, cheers!"

Those people who didn't make it, they all died, and they escaped, and they came to America six months later.

Gong Yu looked at Bao Shiyi and said, "You could have told us six months ago that the three of us could come together. Sometimes I think only you can understand. You are right, Ellie, this is a design. "

"We can knock it down if we want to."

Xu Chen said: "Don't say yes or no, this is an opportunity, an opportunity we cannot miss."

As he spoke, Xu Chen took Bao Shiyi's hand.

Bao Shiyi looked at Xu Chen and nodded, and said, "Yes, but there are some things I still haven't figured out."

"what?"

"That design."

……

It is such a scene that is shot in separate shots, and there will be some close-up shots later, as well as shots of the surrounding streets.Although Bao Shiyi and Xu Chen didn't forget their words, this scene was NG from the beginning.

Because there will be some accidents during the shooting, or the director is not satisfied with the actor's performance in front of the camera just now.Many times, in such a situation, the director will say to keep one, not to pass.

One such guarantee is to re-shoot.

……

Because of reshoots, everything has to start all over again.

Bao Shiyi talked about the lines just now again.

"We can knock it down if we want to."

……

"Are you still filming?"

The assistant director walked to the assistant director and asked, "When will the filming be finished?"

The director's assistant saw that the assistant director seemed to have something to do, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

The assistant director shook his head and said, "It's Bao Shiyi's manager who called me again, saying that he has something urgent to tell Bao Shishi."

Because the filming time abroad is not too long, Bao Shiyi didn't ask Xu's mother to go abroad, and there would be nothing wrong with following the crew. Xu's mother didn't insist, but she said that she would find an assistant for Bao Shiyi.

Mother Xu didn't come to the United States with her, and now she packed Shiyi's cell phone, because it was filming, so Bao Shili naturally wouldn't put the phone on her body, and asked the assistant director to hold it for safekeeping.

Now that the movie is being filmed, it's not easy for the assistant director to step up and interrupt it directly. Why do we have to wait until the shooting of this scene is finished before telling Bao Shiyi that there is something urgent.After finally waiting for the filming of this scene, the assistant director hastily returned Bao Shiyi's mobile phone to its original owner.

"Bao Shiyi, your manager called a few times and said that he has something very urgent to tell you."

Hearing the assistant director's words, Bao Eleven frowned slightly, wondering what would happen at this time. It is night in the United States, so it should be broad daylight in China.

Bao Shiyi took a look at his phone, and there were really a lot of missed calls on it.

With so many missed calls, Bao Shiyi's heart tightened. He didn't know what happened, why he made so many calls, and what happened.

Not daring to think too much, Bao Shiyi hurriedly called back, but for some reason, Mother Xu's cell phone was turned off.

Why is the phone turned off?

Bao Shiyi had a very bad premonition in his heart.

The staff at the side saw that Bao Shiyi called again, and said with some hesitation: "Eleven, we will start reshooting some scenes later."

"look--"

The staff is also not good at urging Bao Shiyi, so they can only ask how long Bao Shiyi will take.

Bao Shixi nodded, expressing that he knew, and asked the staff to wait a little longer, instead of calling Xu's mother, he called Xu Wanqing, wanting to ask what happened to Xu Wanqing, presumably Xu Wanqing should know what her mother had. Seek her urgently.

……

This time, Bao Shishi called Xu Wanqing.

The call is connected.

However, Xu Wanqing's crying sound came from the other end of the phone. The crying sound was accompanied by intermittent sobbing and sobbing, hitting Bao Shiyi's heart bit by bit like that.

"Squad leader, what happened? Why are you crying?"

Bao Shiyi's heart was pounding, and he had an inexplicable sense of panic. He looked at the filming location of the crew, and the crew was holding the schedule of "Death is Coming".

The words "Death is coming" on the schedule were so clear, so suddenly broke into Bao Shiyi's eyes.

Death is coming?

Then, Xu Wanqing's hoarse voice came from the phone, and it sounded very sad, sobbing like that——

"Woooo..."

"Eleven, Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhang... passed away."
