My name is Takayuki Higurashi, and I am a young director who makes a living by shooting variety show VTR and karaoke videos.
It is not easy to go out to shoot, so I use the "eight-character policy" to summarize my business capabilities: " quick, cheap, and good quality ."
Relying on this easy-to-understand production concept, it can be considered a job, a meal, and even repeat customers.
Well, since "Party A's father" opened his mouth, I naturally have to devote myself to the creation with joy (after all, no one dares to accept it, after all, it is still one shot to the end), but who would have thought that this short film called "One Corpse to the End", from the beginning, was A piece of shit!
01
preparatory stage
No matter how absurd it is, it has to be designed
One of the pains of an adult man is that he goes home without the emotion of work, and makes his wife feel that I am cowardly, that I am not pursuing, and that I am too lazy to explain it.
But the conflict with my daughter is the big issue that I should be more concerned about.
My daughter threw herself into filming (follow me, so happy), but she just didn't know how to be flexible and kept her mouth open. Thinking of this, my head was swollen.
But who knows, this trivial matter of family is nothing compared to the actors in the script study stage...
The heroine is an idol star. It is said that she wants to act in a zombie movie. After reading the script, she doesn't want to act, and that part has to be deleted...
The producer is still a fan of her, so it's not enough to act for him. He said that he should change the script, and he agreed immediately. What else can I say?
The male protagonist pretends to be lofty, forcibly obsessed, zombie movies, and has to talk about racial issues.
He also has the same urination with the heroine, and what he does not understand must be changed. In 2018, why can't there be a zombie with an axe? He also put on a stinky face to the supporting actor in glasses (the zombie with an axe is his horn, hey), they invited you to mess with you, and I invited you to mess with you?
There are also alcoholics who shake hands when they don't drink; bald-headed men who drink hard water and lose their breaths; female No. 2 who brings a baby to read the script ; On such a wonderful crew!
When it came time to explain the script, I thought the work would finally be on track, but... the photographer actually had a disease in his waist and couldn't play handheld for a long time. What's the trouble? This is.
It can be regarded as an outdoor simulation, and the hero of Ya still insists on deleting the story of the man in glasses cutting people with an axe. He is popular, and he can't be hard on him, so he can only discuss it.
The heroine has no tears in the crying scene. She wants to use eye drops to make only one crying scene, but she can't cry... that's all, that's all.
The second man and the second woman are there again, the bald man is trying to figure out what to do with his diarrhea, and the drunkard is still there swearing not to drink (it’s weird to believe you!)…
02
filming stage
Tooth clenching has to be done
After working for such a long time, it can be considered an experience. It is the first time I have met such a crew with a lot of things, and I can't be tough, and life is hard.
The big man can't cry clearly, he can only stay in a small corner by himself, looking at the photos of his daughter when he was a child, crying quietly, quietly... venting.
With great difficulty, I finally got through to the start of filming. Damn, as long as this day is over, everything will be fine, and I will collect the money and leave.
Thousands of warnings and instructions, once the machine is turned on, it will not stop. In order not to make mistakes, I specially hide the celebration wine (you have not seen the greedy eyes of the alcoholic)... But it still went wrong, rub!
First, the bald-headed brother took the wrong water bottle and drank hard water... (this is not meant to be diarrhea), then the two men and two women derailed reasonably, and the two were in a car, and it was a normal car accident. And then again, the alcoholic is still... stealing the wine, a sentence of NMB, I don't know if it should be said or not.
The script could not be changed, and the actors could not be found temporarily. The producer also emphasized that the video must be filmed, and at the critical moment...you had to rely on yourself, and the wife who went crazy as soon as she acted (death...).
As for the method, it's actually quite simple. My wife and I play the quilt together.
The fact that the wife can act is actually the result of the daughter's insistent request, and of course it is impossible (= =).
After that, it's easy to start shooting, as long as the camera doesn't stop, as long as you don't wear gangs, everything is OK!
And I can also spit bitterness in the name of acting , haha, very good.
After the cool down, he seems to be full of energy. Of course, there are still broken things, and solutions must be solved.
The bald man had diarrhea and almost ruined the whole scene, but what can I say, after all, people are about to pull their crotch.
Fortunately, my daughter helped me a lot and made the plot connect.
However, what I was worried about at the beginning still appeared, and my wife was too deeply involved in the play again .
First he slapped the male protagonist without hesitation, and then he was about to slash the female protagonist. I was terrified watching from the side.
At this time, she actually had a burst of physical strength, and kicked me and the man with glasses one after another (the second time she also kicked my life...).
Fortunately, in the end, Lao Tzu made her dizzy, but the price was that the rocker arm was broken.
If you don't have a rocker arm, you can't shoot the blood curse on the ground. If you can't shoot the blood curse, the video will not be complete, and the whole effort will be in vain!
At the last moment, it was my daughter's strength. In the absence of a rocker arm, I thought of using a human ladder to set up a rocker arm, and it was done smoothly.
It was also at this moment that I finally broke out against the idiot producer, but I had to admit to being a father, but the pursuit of art still touched my daughter (just sometimes forced by life, you know).
However, the nonsense of the crew can't match his daughter's smiling face. Reconciling with her means that "One Corpse to the End" was not shot in vain.
03
Do not stop the camera
what the hell? !
Although "One Corpse to the End" came to an end, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that I couldn't hold it back by myself, and I had to warn the newcomers and entertain the audience no matter what.
So, a new movie called [The Camera Don't Stop] is out.
It's just... I didn't play cards according to the routine this time:
The movie begins with a crew shooting in a factory rumored to be haunted by zombies, his director is crazy (you know how), and his actors suffer (you know, they, right).
After another NG, the director became mad and the filming stopped. Everyone was calming down. I didn't expect a zombie to attack. It bit the man with glasses, and the corpse turned into a bald man. The film crew was at stake, but the director went mad and shot with passion.
In the end, the heroine was overwhelmed and transformed fiercely. She killed her zombie boyfriend, chopped up the lunatic director (there was none), and was covered in blood standing under the summoned blood curse, in agony.
Then, bang, the screen changed, a month ago.
At this point, you must be thinking, what's going on here? Isn't it a zombie movie, how come a month ago, do you want to talk about the former situation?
That's right, it's about the former situation, but it's another kind of former situation, that is, the years of my hard work on the crew, the years of my ass-wiping years, and the behind-the-scenes story of "One Corpse in the End".
Haha, honestly, I admire my brains. As for you, the judges, Bo Jun smiled, that's all.
