66. Chapter 66 Brainstorming
"Well... let's put it this way, this movie is very interesting. It has a destiny flavor. It finally uses the ability of foreseeing the premonition to escape disasters. However, the rules in the dark do not allow such things to exist, so you keep encountering accidents and dying in accidents. Its horror is also here. In the past, when we watched horror movies, we all had a specific terrifying image, such as Freddy on Elm Street, Jason on Crystal Lake, or the alien in the spaceship, and the elusive killer with a white mask.
But this movie doesn't have it. It's invisible and has nothing to do with it. If you are not careful, you may die. You may not be able to beat it. The feeling of despair under this pressure is very attractive. After I got the script and read it, I had to be amazed at the director's imagination, so I took on this role."
In a corner of the set, Sean, sitting on a chair, said to the camera, and a person is in charge of this little machine to ensure he is always facing him. This is when recording behind-the-scenes footage. Many times, before or after the movie is released, for promotional purposes, some actors, directors or producers will broadcast the views of the movie on TV stations or other media channels in conjunction with trailers, in order to attract attention.
Most of these behind-the-scenes are recorded while shooting, and they are all the same praise. The people in front of the camera try their best to describe the advantages of this movie to attract audiences. After all, the reputation of the movie and the box office are directly related to their interests. Even if someone is dissatisfied, not to mention whether it will be recorded, even if it is recorded, the producer will not take it out to play it.
Sean also recorded it when filming "The Genius Ripley", so it's easy to do this kind of thing. Besides, "The God of Death is Coming" does have many advantages, but the other thing is a bit troublesome.
"Shawn, the director asked me to come over and tell you that if it's done, I'll go to a meeting and I'll have to settle down today." Garen ran over at this time.
"Okay, I'll go there now." After asking the scene assistant who was in charge of the camera, Sean immediately stood up and walked towards the tent in the conference room under Garen's leadership.
"Speaking of this kind of thing should not be discussed before filming? Why do you have to discuss it while filming? You have to work hard to modify the script and delay the shooting progress." Galen muttered very confusedly. He has been caught together in the past few days, even if he is just Sean's assistant.
"But you have to admit, it's very interesting. If someone's proposal is adopted, it's also very fulfilling, right?" Sean laughed.
Soon, they came to the tent used in the conference room, which was noisy and people discussed together in groups of people, and director James Huang and the deputy director were talking.
"Shawn, what are you talking about?" Sean asked straight to a young man who was a few years older than him, patted his shoulder.
"Hey, Sean, have you finished recording?" The other party then smiled and slapped him.
His name is also Sean, Sean William Scott, 23 years old. He started as an actor in 1995 and has played many supporting roles in campus comedy. He was then selected by Huang as one of the survivors of the air crash.
Scott is very good. Although after the filming of "Death is Coming", he participated in the performance of "American Pie", which was released on September 2, achieved quite good results, and his role was also well received, but he still had a good time with the people in the crew. Then he had the same name as Sean and was about the same age - Frederick still said that he was 23 when he was fighting for the role - so he got along best.
"I've finished recording for the time being, I don't know what else to say." Sean shrugged and pointed at him.
"Old thing, we have killed Chad and Amanda countless times, but the director is still not satisfied," Scott sighed. "It seems that he wants to use the cruelest way to break us apart."
"Hey, Sean." James Huang noticed Sean at this time and immediately greeted him loudly.
"Is there anything wrong?" Sean and Scott immediately replied in unison, causing a burst of laughter. This was a trick they had on the crew.
"Okay, William, don't cause trouble for me anymore. As for you, Sean, today you must come up with a viable, shocking idea." Huang pointed at the two of them and said.
"Okay OK," Sean raised his hands, "Tell me, where are you talking about now?"
"Well..." The director flipped through the things in his hand, picked up some drafts on the table and looked at it. "About Todd Wagner's way of death, the current setting is that first the rusty water pipe in the corner of the bathroom cracked, and then the water drops fell to George's feet. George went to get the bath solution, stepped on the water flow and slid to the ground. The middle of the fall, waved his hands around, and finally grabbed the cabinet, and the things fell down, including a pair of scissors. Of course, the scissors did not penetrate him, but hovered on it. George stopped for a while, then stood up carefully, stepped on the water flow and fell to the ground. The tense scissors bounced up, and then were pulled off, and finally wiped his eyes."
"Look, haven't you already had a result?" Sean immediately spread his hands.
Huang rolled his eyes immediately, took off his glasses and stared at Sean as he was about to speak. Sean hurriedly raised his hands again: "Okay, I know, you don't think this is like suicide, so cut your throat when it falls off. If it doesn't work, then fall to the ground and knock your head out, and the scissors cut the pulse. If you think the small scissors are not sharp enough, then change it to large scissors or blades. As for why there are such things in the storage cabinet in the bathroom, maybe it's because you have used it before, and maybe some families will put these in it."
"This is pretty good," the director touched his chin, "but there is still one problem that cannot be solved. We calculated that the potential energy of flying with scissors must be high enough to kill people."
"I can only think of so much for the time being." Sean spread his hands.
"You must have some ideas, think about it again." Huang said in an encouraging tone, "No limit is so much, you don't have to have to have early bathrooms, or even commit suicide, as long as you are creative."
"That's it..." Sean rolled his eyes and showed a smirk, "Okay, if you only say creative words, there is indeed one."
Suddenly, everyone else in the conference room looked over, including several women.
"Tord had just finished the convenience of the school bathroom, and suddenly found that there was no paper and there was no one outside, so he had to turn over the interval and go to the other side to look for it. Because we all know, he was very careful and slow, so he didn't notice that the belt was hanging on the compartment. So when he was about to turn over, he suddenly fell and fell and crashed into the toilet. But the belt was hung on the interval, and he turned over and had nowhere to exert force. In addition, he was in panic and didn't know what to do. He designed some small props so that he could not use his hands, so he drowned in the toilet."
After he finished speaking, the people in the tent in the conference room booed, obviously it was too disgusting.
However, Huang Zai pinched his chin and thought for a long time, but said, "At least, this is indeed very creative."
"No, no!" Chad Donella, who plays Todd, immediately shouted, "James, if you want this filming, I will definitely not agree!"
Then there was another laughter, of course, all of which were kind-hearted and joking smiles. Such discussions almost occurred since the start of filming, and everyone had long been used to it.
I have to say that James Huang's trick is very good. "Death is Coming" is a horror film. The supporting roles in it all have a strange and seemingly an unexpected way of death. The script did not write down the way of death clearly at the beginning, and Sean was surprised by this. Later I found out that he planned to discuss and modify it with everyone during the filming. Anyway, he is also a screenwriter.
In this way, on the one hand, he can brainstorm and make the deaths of each supporting role more eye-catching; on the other hand, he can deepen the actors' sense of participation and maintain a good relationship in the discussion. At present, it seems that in addition to delaying the filming progress, Huang has basically achieved his goal. At least Sean likes the current atmosphere and gets along very happily with other actors.
"Don't worry, Chad, I just think I'm creative and won't really let you load it into the toilet." Huang said immediately, and laughter rang out again.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" A tall girl from outside, her straight brown hair drooped softly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, looking quite cute.
"Oh, you won't want to know, Kate." Another girl, Amanda Dartman, who played Terry, was also killed countless times on paper by everyone, said in an exaggerated tone.
"Can't you just say it?" The other party immediately gave her an angry look, so Amanda leaned into her ear and muttered and said a lot. At first, she just laughed, and when she arrived at the critical point, she couldn't help but show a disgusting expression.
"Shaan - not you, William - can't you have some normal ideas?" The girl named "Kate" by Amanda immediately walked up to Sean and said.
"Is this idea abnormal? Catherine?" Sean spread his hands innocently.
"At least normal people would not design a plot like drowning in the toilet, nor would my character be locked on the roof and starved to death." Catherine rolled his eyes without hesitation.
"Isn't it convenient for Alex to rescue Claire?" Sean said quibblingly.
The other party didn't say much to him, rolled his eyes again, and then went back to talk to Amanda.
This girl is what Frederick told him at the beginning. The crew specially used Sean's heroine, Catherine Heiger, to invite her. She is indeed a beautiful girl with sweet facial features and lively people. She is still a few months away from the age of 21, full of youthful atmosphere.
