After learning that the movie could be launched in theaters, the director of "Spiritual: Ghost Records" specially revised the ending.

The horror atmosphere was added, which made the movie perform well in the box office in the theaters later, laying the foundation for the subsequent shooting of sequels.

But, even so, just from the plot of the movie.

In fact, the first part of "Spiritual: Ghost Record" has no strong connection with the subsequent series.

On the contrary, starting from the second part, each sequel is closely related.

Nowadays, as the filmmaker of "Artistic: Ghost Records" in this world, Zhao Yuan naturally would not follow the original director's path.

In the script design, he first made modifications to the ending position and chose the theater version as the end of the movie.

At the same time, some details were added to the plot of the movie to lay the groundwork for the next sequel.

Although such modifications have made the filming time longer, it has increased from the original seven days to half a month.

However, it greatly enriches the background of the script. Although these backgrounds are not too conspicuous in the first part, the appearance of the subsequent sequels will make the entire script content natural, not as stiff as the sequels of some movies.

...

"Is there any problem, director?"

"Smart: Ghost Record" filming scene.

Hearing Zhao Yuan’s shouting, the two couples showed confusion on their faces.

They looked at each other and asked nervously as they looked at Zhao Yuan standing behind the DV camera.

As a couple who have been struggling in Hollywood for many years but have not improved, they have no confidence to fight against the director. The entire filming process is completely like how Zhao Yuan said they acted like this.

"I feel that the conversation you just now is a bit unnatural."

When confronted with the eyes of the two actors, Zhao Yuan expressed his inner thoughts.

“Unnatural?”

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the actor who played the male protagonist in the movie said, "However, we have followed the lines of the script and have all been right, without any problems."

As a screenwriter and director who is now well-known in Hollywood.

The two actors were naturally extremely excited to participate in the movie he filmed. For this reason, they corrected "Spiritual: Ghost Records" several times, striving not to have any problems during the official shooting.

"Maybe, this is your biggest problem."

When Zhao Yuan heard the male actor's answer, he suddenly realized his expression.

"The filming of this movie is in a 'pseudo-documentary' style. The one I chose you as the starring actors is to take a fancy to the relationship between your couples that naturally does not need to perform. Only natural and unmodified shots can convince the audience who watch the movie to the greatest extent that what they see is the daily life of a normal couple, not a movie..."

"It's my fault. You shouldn't write the script so clearly. In fact, many plots can be fully played by you."

The filming of the original "Spiritual: Ghost Record" did not have a complete script from beginning to end.

For professionals, such movies may not even be considered movies.

However, standing at the perspective of a ‘documentary’ is undoubtedly the correct way to shoot.

After all, the more natural the documentary needs, the more realistic it is.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan directly modified the script and cut out the long lines in the original script, allowing the two leading actors to play as freely as possible, presenting their life in DV cameras.

At the same time, he also changed the lens and lights of the DV camera. He no longer faced the actors as before, but deliberately turned a little bit, giving people the feeling of being recorded inadvertently.

Through these changes, the shooting changes of "Spiritual: Ghost Records" have been smoother.

After not sticking to the script lines, the two actors' performance in front of the camera became more and more natural, as if they were just recording daily life through DV cameras, rather than shooting movies.

Of course, as a movie.

Although he is called a "pseudo documentary", it is impossible for Zhao Yuan to really use it to shoot daily life.

Therefore, in these daily shots, he would occasionally intersperse some thrilling scenes, or shadows flashing on TV screens, or shaking lights, and these ordinary scenes in life.

"Director, because of your previous shooting, I'm a little scared when I see the mirror now."

These scenes may not feel anything to Zhao Yuan.

However, from the perspective of the two actors, it is somewhat scary.

In particular, in order to pursue the sense of reality, many of the horror plots added by Zhao Yuan did not have noticed in advance. They often suddenly appeared on the scene after discussing with the prop designer of the movie.

"This way, you can capture a real and horrifying feeling, right?"

Hearing the actor's complaints, Zhao Yuan smiled and comforted him.

In the past few days, the filming of "Spiritual: Ghost Record" is coming to an end, and it will be completed in about two or three days.

Of course, the filming of the movie does not mean the end.

Although "Spiritual: Ghost Record" is a "pseudo-documentary" but it also requires editing.

Especially for some horror shots, in order to achieve the effect, staff are more or less involved in it.

These shots will be edited in the later stages, making the entire movie look like a home video as much as possible.

...

"Although, it's not the first time I've heard you say that, but Alan, I still have to say something..."

"You're simply a pervert!"

On the phone, I learned again that Zhao Yuan’s new movie "Spiritual: Ghost Record" has ended.

Wen Ziren couldn't help but swear and said speechlessly.

"Films in the form of 'pseudo-documentary' were originally shooting at this speed. In fact, half a month has been much longer than I had expected."

If Zhao Yuan remembered correctly, the original "Spiritual: Ghost Record" was filmed in seven days.

Even during the shooting, neighbors didn't know how they made the movie.

"In half a month, you know that it took me about eighteen days to shoot the fastest "Saw" at the beginning. If I included the preparations, it would be one month."

"You completed a movie in just half a month, and it actually felt it was too long."

The fastest film record of Wan Ziren's filming is "Saw", and he has never filmed a movie like this again.

It is precisely because of this that he was amazed by Zhao Yuan's quick shooting.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. In short, you must notify me of the new movie!"

"In fact, the editing of the movie has been completed, so I believe you will be able to see it in the theater in no time."
Chapter completed!
