You made me a superstar

Chapter 16 Contradictions

Humans have an instinctive fear of the dark.

In the ancient times of slash-and-burn farming, after the sun went down, the breath of death began to permeate.

Countless beasts and unknown fears howled and roared and devoured the trembling ancestors, and many people died in the night without knowing why.

It's an emotion that's etched into your genes.

When Zhou Yang went to the mine for the first time, he was terrified deep in his heart, and at the same time felt a sense of suffocating claustrophobia.

This is a kind of uneasiness that comes from the depths of the soul.

Mine is divided into three categories, vertical shaft, inclined shaft, level road...

The shaft hangs from the ground and is the size of a well.

There is a slightly rusty iron frame on the mouth of the mine, and a few cables are tied to the frame, and an elevator-like lifting platform is suspended under the cables.

This platform is called Jail Cage.

If the safety standards are strictly followed, the cage should be the same as the elevator, with walls and iron nets on all sides to prevent falling from high altitudes. If it is safer, a few more cables must be installed for traction to form a double safety system.

Of course, it is impossible for a private mine to follow such strict regulations, and there is no shelter on its four sides. There are only four cables and a few thick boards to provide grip and support, and people just descend along the cables.

When going down the well, because of the sudden change in air pressure, people's eardrums would often be buzzed, and they would even experience an unspeakable pain, and Zhou Yang was even worse.

When Zhou Yang went down the mine for the first time, his stomach kept twitching and he vomited out all the food he ate that morning.

After vomiting it all out, his physical condition was slightly better.

....................................

"Are we going to shoot underground?"

"Well, going down the well."

"How deep is this mine?"

"It's not very deep, only about 400 meters."

"What? What did you say? It's only over 400 meters away!"

"The well I worked in was more than 1000 meters deep..."

"..."

early morning.

The first ray of sunlight hits the earth.

The crew of "Mine Bottom" finally started.

Feng Kai saw the scene of the first scene, and his eyes were fixed on the mine mouth.

His face changed drastically!

Looking at the rusted iron frame and the swaying cables, he was both shocked and angry.

The shock is that Zhou Yang is out of his mind, he really wants to go down the well to shoot!
The angry thing is that this thing has no safety factor at first glance, what should I do if it breaks halfway?
It's just a bad movie, do you need to work so hard?

Only a few days after he came here, he heard that the mine next door seemed to have collapsed. Although no one was killed, who knew how much internal information was blocked?

"If something goes wrong here, how can we escape?" Feng Kai stared at Zhou Yang, and gasped after thinking of all the possibilities.

His life is much more precious than Zhou Yang's.

If Zhou Yang dies, he will die!

But he shoulders the hope of domestic films in the future, he can't explain it here!
"..." Zhou Yang stared at the mouth of the well for a while, and then fell into a long silence.

He seems to be weighing the pros and cons.

"Director Zhou, we can dig a hole by ourselves. There is really no need to go down. Besides, there are many ways to shoot. Isn't it easy to choose a scenic spot? Making a movie is not about risking your life. If something happens, everyone will take care of it." I can't afford this responsibility!" Seeing Zhou Yang's appearance, Feng Kai subconsciously moved closer to remind him in a low voice.

"..." Zhou Yang still didn't answer Feng Kai's words, but turned to look at the other crew members.

They seemed to be hesitant to speak, although they didn't say anything, but their expressions were extremely resistant.

Obviously, no one wants to go down.

It is really a very dangerous thing to go down to the mine to shoot on the spot.

taking off own life!
No one likes to risk their lives.

"More than 400 meters! Even if there is a little accident, we will all be buried alive!"

"..."

"I know this is the mine you carefully selected, but who can guarantee that accidents won't happen?"

"..."

"Also, it's not the next well, it's going to go down the well for several days to take pictures..."

"..."

Feng Kai continued to babble in front of Zhou Yang in a low voice, trying to persuade Zhou Yang to give up this idea.

Zhou Yang closed his eyes.

Finally nodded slightly.

"Director Feng, let's film the plot on the ground first."

"Okay! That's right!"

....................................

"Every group is ready!"

"ACTION!"

Following Feng Kai's gesture, the filming of the first act of the movie finally started.

The first scene is actually a normal coal mine work area, focusing on shooting three characters.

Tang Chaoyang, Song Jinming, Zhang Genbao.

The content of the shooting is also very simple...

It is the scene of three people passing a cigarette to each other.

The three actors Zhong Facai, Zhao Zhen, and Chen Shuangbao smoked like this in the mine itself. This is not a difficult task for the actors, just perform in their true colors...

It's not so much making a movie as it is recording a video.

It's just that the lineup is slightly larger in comparison.

pity……

Perhaps because of the relationship with the camera, several people are not in the right state.

off-camera.

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Yes! Yes, yes!"

Feng Kai was wearing a cap and making various gestures.

He seemed a little careless, he had given all the filming plots that could pass, and he didn't even bother to correct the most basic shooting mistakes and actor status problems, so he just finished filming in one shot.

As for good or bad?

Who cares about you!

He didn't care how the filming turned out, and he didn't sign his name anyway.

And from the bottom of his heart, he felt that the coal boss was filming it for fun, and he didn't even think it was called a movie.

"Director Feng, I don't think this action is appropriate. Fa Cai seems a little nervous. I think we should adjust it..."

"It doesn't affect."

"I think Shuangbao's eyes are not quite right, a little rigid..."

"It doesn't matter, I think this kind of look is quite right, very characteristic..."

"I think……"

"Director Zhou, please step aside, we are looking for a shooting angle, and when we are shooting, try not to disturb us, otherwise it will affect the shooting status..."

"..."

"..."

Zhou Yang stared at the camera for a while.

He felt that it was wrong to shoot like this, and finally couldn't help asking a lot of questions.

It's a pity, except for the director Feng Kai who would occasionally deal with a sentence or two, no one paid him any attention.

There were too many problems, and over time, even Feng Kai ignored him.

He just stood like this, and was even driven away by Feng Kai because he was in the way, and was finally driven out of the shooting area.

He looks at the crew.

He is like an outsider isolated by the crew, and he wants to say a lot in his heart.

His face was flushed!

Subconsciously, he felt that what Feng Kai said was wrong.

However, he couldn't refute it.

A layman who doesn't know how to shoot is dictating the crew, won't it affect the crew's shooting?

He bowed his head.

........................

evening.

The crew is done.

The crew went down early.

It was too cold for them to withstand the severe cold on the mountain.

The progress of filming is very fast. In just the first day, some scenes in the mine were almost finished.

Zhou Yang didn't know how the filming was going, he only knew that there was nothing NG in the first scene of the movie.

The mountain wind is really cold.

But not so unbearable.

Zhou Yang did not go down the mountain, and he also rejected Feng Kai's proposal to go to a nearby KTV to drink and sing to relax.

He has little interest in these.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Yang can be regarded as a twisted person.

He either doesn't do things, or he does his best to achieve the ultimate.

otherwise……

I will be very sorry and annoyed.

He felt that there was something wrong with the content of today's filming, and he was eager to see the situation of the film.

pity……

He can't see.

Feng Kai refused because the sample needs to be edited, and the semi-finished product has no good reason.

"Director Zhou, I think we didn't shoot well..."

"Director Zhou... I also felt that I was a little nervous just now. We are not like that usually..."

"..."

After smoking the last cigarette, Chen Shuangbao walked up to Zhou Yang with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Zhao Zhen from the other side also came over. After reviewing the content of the filming, he was also very dissatisfied.

They can actually perceive the state when shooting and the state on weekdays.

Although they also felt that the movie might not be released and they just watched it casually, but they still felt unnatural under the camera, burdened and nervous at the same time.

Zhou Yang didn't answer them.

He walked silently towards the edge of the mine shaft in their sight.

The evening glow dyed half the sky red.

He stared down the deep mine.

Just stare so closely.

He vaguely recalled the scenes of "Blind Well" in the movie and the expressions of the actors in his mind.

Thinking about what I shot today...

Far from it!
It's just too far away.

He bowed his head.

My heart sank gradually.

sink for a long time...

..............................

The next day, Feng Kai didn't go up the mountain until noon.

They were very high in KTV yesterday.

They sang, danced, and invited a few professional women to accompany them, having a great time.

When we came back, it was already early morning.

When they came to the mountain, they saw Zhou Yang standing at the intersection.

Feng Kai smiled and subconsciously greeted Zhou Yang.

"Director Zhou, you came up so early? Haha..."

"..."

Zhou Yang looked at him silently without responding.

He just stood there like a log without saying a word.
