Chapter 1629 Opening (Meow sleeping every day)

After a night of relaxing at the hot spring hotel, the crew got into intense filming.

The movie uses a mixed shooting technique. It tells the story of two girls who came here and traveled in the modern city during the day. But when they fell asleep at night, they would dream that they were transformed into the two ancient artists, in the ancient villages and towns. action. And even in their dreams, they clearly retain their consciousness, as if they wake up during the day and return to the present, and fall asleep at night and travel back to ancient times.

I have to say that this setting is quite interesting. Through the time travel and crossover between modern and ancient times, the audience and the two heroines gradually reveal the truth of this legend. Although it is not a popular drama based on its subject matter, it can at least be regarded as a masterpiece of outstanding quality.

Of course, when the two protagonists travel back and forth in time, the identities of other people will also change. The uncle who farmed in ancient times may be the owner of a small shop in modern times. The officers chasing them may also be patrolmen at the police station. Among these people, only the girl played by Duanmuhuai remains the same without any change.

So in the early stages of the movie, this character was actually used to confuse the audience and make them mistakenly think that she was an important plot NPC. Then in the middle of the plot, when the girl played by Duanmuhuai rescued the two girls, the audience would mistakenly think that she was This is a good ghost.

It was not until the two girls finally revealed the truth of the legend that Duanmu Huai pushed them into the lake and drowned them.

Um? You said the truth has been revealed, why are you still being killed?

This is what makes Japanese horror films different from other countries.

Chinese horror movies are all about evil prevailing over good. No matter you are a zombie or a female ghost, if you meet a Taoist monk with great righteousness, I can beat you to pieces with the power of heaven and earth. Transcendence. It is important to pay attention to the principle that good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds, and wrongdoers will have their own debtors.

As for European and American horror films, they are more based on the dualism of good and evil, with demons persecuting humans and angels saving humans. Only by believing in gods can one be saved; not by believing in gods can only lead to death.

But Japanese horror films are completely different.

It doesn’t matter whether you have any hatred, it doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or not, and it doesn’t matter whether you have a relationship with me or not. As long as you are targeted by me, you will die.

It's that simple. Who can reason with you?

This is the biggest difference between Japanese horror films and other countries.

Horror stories from other places all emphasize that a good person will be rewarded. Most of the horror stories in China will appear. The protagonist sees someone pitiful at the beginning of the story, and then helps him. Then when he encounters an evil ghost, the latter uses his high The appearance of a person's identity means that you helped me once, and I will help you once. This means that good people are rewarded.

As for Japanese horror stories, if the protagonist sees someone pitiful at the beginning of the story and helps him, most of them will be deceived and haunted by evil spirits, and then die.

So what does this story want to tell people? Probably just don’t look for trouble.

No wonder the Japanese are so indifferent to outsiders.

By the way, the female ghost played by Duanmu Huai this time is a relatively anti-traditional image. After all, the first impression of a Japanese female ghost is that her hair is long, covering her face, and she lowers her head and stares at the ground. This time, the female ghost played by Duanmu Huai has a bob head. She looks no different from an ordinary modern girl, and there is no trace of the female ghost at all.

It's completely different from the weird female ghosts in other horror movies.

Of course, if such external conditions are lost, the requirements for actors' acting skills will be higher. Like Sadako Kayako, not to mention anything else, just the appearance of their appearance in a haunted house makes people full of fear.

And if Sadako Kayako dresses up like an ordinary girl, then if she wants to make the audience feel scared, she will need superb acting skills and momentum.

Fortunately, this is what Duanmuhuai is best at.

The entire plot of the movie revolves around Duanmu Huai and the two heroines. It can even be said that the two heroines are the most important. Although the role played by Duanmu Huai plays an important role in the script, it is actually just that on the camera. There are more supporting actors than ordinary ones. Everyone is professional, so filming is easy.

"......CUT! Okay, this scene is over!"

As the director's voice sounded, Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai, who were standing in the camera panting, also breathed a sigh of relief, and then came to rest next to them. Duanmu Huai also came over at this time and waved his hands to the two of them.

"Hey, thank you for your hard work. It feels good."

Filming a horror film requires very high acting skills. Although in the film, the audience sees the protagonist alone, in fact, at the filming site, you want to show the fear of being alone in the presence of twenty or thirty people. , it’s really not good without any acting skills.

"After all, this kind of film isn't too difficult."

As Sakurajima Mai spoke, she took the mineral water from Duanmu Huai.

"I heard from the director that this movie is going to be linked with Hakone to promote tourism?"

"Yeah, otherwise Hakone wouldn't be so generous in agreeing to the filming. By the way, Akane, what are you doing?"

Duanmuhuai looked at Kurokawa Akane sitting next to him, then took out a notebook from his bag and was flipping through it.

"I'm investigating the strange rumors about Lake Atama in Hakone and want to see if I can find any clues."

"Aka Yin, you are really interested in this kind of thing."

Hearing Kurokawa Akane's answer, Sakurajima Mai looked emotional.

"It's almost like a police investigation."

"Ah hahaha, I have read similar books before, maybe I am really good at this."

"But those strange rumors are probably all fabricated. If you ask me, they have no credibility at all."

Although she plays a timid girl in the movie, Sakurajima Mai doesn't seem to believe that ghosts exist at all.

"Hmm... I think it's different."

"Not the same?"

"Yes."

While turning the pen in his hand, Kurokawa Akane spoke.

"I think the rumors about ghost stories can be roughly divided into two types."

"Childhood sweethearts and sneaky cats?"

"???Xiao Ai, what are you talking about???"

"Nothing, I'll just talk about it, you continue."

Maybe I was brainwashed by Yanami too.

"...Well, to put it simply, I think ghost stories can be divided into creative ones and true stories."

"Aren't ghost stories all created ghost stories? How can there be real stories?"

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of mineral water and asked in disbelief, while Akane Kurokawa shook her head.

"This is different. Creation-type weird stories are basically the kind of stories that I heard from my friends' friends. They have no credibility."

"Isn't that what most weird stories are like?"

"But there are some that are not. For example...someone said that when he was sleeping at night, he suddenly opened his eyes and found that he could not move. Then he found an old lady looking at him beside the bed. Then he fainted from fright. When he woke up, he was already Morning."

"This kind of story is quite common. I have heard similar stories from people in school."

Duanmu Huai also interjected at this time. "Yes, but this is not actually a created ghost story."

"Doesn't it count?"

"Yes, from this story, we only know that the narrator woke up while sleeping, and then saw an old lady, and then lost consciousness again. After waking up, he never saw the old lady again. But what exactly was that old lady? Man, we don't know. Is it a ghost? Or is it even possible? The narrator did not wake up at all, but he had a dream within a dream. We think this is a strange story because our first instinct is to think that the old lady is a ghost. But whether the old lady is a ghost or not depends on whether the narrator is sleeping. Whether he was confused or something strange happened, we have no way of knowing.”

"…………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other and couldn't help but think of puberty syndrome. From a certain perspective, puberty syndrome is very much in line with what Kurokawa Akane calls "true stories and ghost stories."

It sounds like there is no explanation, but it does exist, but I don’t know why it exists. It’s just that after everyone hears this story, they will interpret it from their own perspective.

"I'm not used to thinking about these difficult things."

Duanmuhuai gave up thinking first. He hated philosophical topics the most. At this moment, the director's voice sounded again.

"Okay, let's get ready to start filming the 125th scene!"

After everyone finished shooting, it was already evening. The crew members stayed behind to pack their things, while Duanmuhuai walked down the mountain with the two of them.

"The mountains look really weird at night."

Sakurajima Mai raised her head, looked at the dim mountain road in front of her, and whispered, while Kurokawa Akane nodded.

"The records I looked at showed that this mountain was once called the Sacred Mountain, and many people disappeared in this mountain. The records I investigated before also showed that people in that village disappeared on this mountain. "

"...I hope we don't encounter any corpses."

At this moment, fog had begun to appear all around, and the three of them didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, the people here had already told them that there might be fog here in the evening. The same is true for the previous few days of filming, so the director usually announces the disbandment at this time.

But things seem a little different today.

"...be careful."

Duanmu Huai, who was walking in front, stopped and stared at the fog in front of him with his eyes narrowed. Seeing his reaction, Sakurajima Mai and Kurokawa Akane were stunned for a moment.

"Is there any problem? Xiao Ai?"

“Shh——”

Duanmuhuai signaled the two of them not to talk, and then looked around.

"Something's wrong."

"Something's wrong?"

"Can't hear anything."

Duanmuhuai looked around again. However, at this moment, the dense fog made it almost impossible to see his fingers. He could only barely see the mountain road in front of him clearly, and could not clearly see the trees further away. Not only that, the surroundings were completely silent, with neither the chirping of birds nor the chirping of insects, as if there were only the three of them left in the world.

"Wait, what's going on?"

At this moment, Sakurajima Mai hurriedly took out her mobile phone, and then couldn't help but screamed in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"My cell phone has no signal..."

"Me too."

Kurokawa Akane also quickly took out his mobile phone and took a look, as did Duanmu Huai. Here, their mobile phones were completely "outside the circle" and there was no signal at all.

"Excuse me...is anyone over there...?"

At this moment, a weak girl's voice suddenly came from not far away. Hearing this voice, Sakurajima Mai and Kurokawa Akane breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly wanted to go over to check the situation, but were quickly caught by Duanmu Huai with quick eyes and hands.

"Stay with me and don't leave."

"Ah...um..."

Although Duanmu Huai's expression was a little serious, the two of them nodded obediently. After all, they all knew that although Duanmu Huai looked petite, his strength was outstanding and he could even kill a bear with his bare hands. Following her is obviously the safest thing to do.

So the two of them followed Duanmu Huai and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

The winding mountain road was very difficult to walk, and because of the mist, it took the three of them some time to get close to the hazy figure in the mist. I saw a girl in a yukata sitting on the ground on one side of the mountain path, looking around uneasily. She looks about 13 or 4 years old,

Duanmu Huai and the other three stepped forward and helped the girl up. The latter also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly lowered his head and saluted.

"Thank you very much for your help..."

As she spoke, the girl looked at the three of them curiously.

"My name is Chaoyun Changpu, and I am a resident here. Are the three of you... foreign travelers?"

"Well, that's about it. Why are you here alone?"

"I don't know either……"

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the girl named Chaoyun Changpu frowned slightly.

"When I came back to my senses, I was already here...but this should be near my home shrine. If you can, please come to my home."

"Ah, um..."

Facing the girl's invitation, the three of them did not refuse, but still looked at each other in confusion.

Is there a shrine near here?

Asoun Iris has inconvenience in her legs and feet. She said she was born like this. As for the fog, Asoun Iris said that fog often appears around the shrine, but she has inconvenience in her legs and feet and rarely goes out. She wonders why she appears here. Calamus has no memory at all.

As they spoke, the fog in front of them gradually became thinner. When the four of them walked out of the fog, what appeared in front of them was the winding mountain road and the torii gate of the shrine not far away. A ray of rising sun emerged from behind the mountain, illuminating the scenery in front of me.

Wait, Chaoyang?

It was evening when I went down the mountain!

"Xiao Ai, look over there...!"

Just when Duanmuhuai was confused, Sakurajima Mai's complexion suddenly changed slightly, she pulled Duanmuhuai's sleeve and pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away.

Duanmuhuai lowered his head and looked in the direction of Mai Sakurajima's finger. At the bottom of the mountain, he could see patches of green farmland, as well as wooden houses, and people coming and going from time to time on the dirt road. However...the clothes these people wear are not those of modern people, but more like characters appearing in period dramas.

"...Where did this get us?"

I have to say that at this moment, even Duanmu Huai was stunned.
