The crew of "Bullying Night" quietly settled in Altrincham, Manchester County. It only takes about ten minutes to drive from the Xiatan Hotel to the Red House Farm in the western suburbs, and Ye Wei drove there from the Carrington Training Center It only takes less than ten minutes, which is very time-saving and convenient.
Red House Farm is located in a vast farmland, on the side of a country road with trees. There are no residential areas on the surrounding horizon, not even other farms. There are only continuous power grids, telephone poles, and a few scattered rooms. Houses and warehouses. Faced with the high weekly rent and the expected number of tourists, the farm owner agreed to rent it out and signed a confidentiality agreement without hesitation.
At this time, the sky is setting, and we have to wait for about an hour until it gets completely dark before turning on the phone. The crew members who were making final preparations were busy with their own work, and no one was slacking off. This small project is a huge project for many people here.
Seize the opportunity! Take a look at "The Exorcism Video", the second part of the sequel will be released next Friday the 16th. And if you behave well and are appreciated by Ye Wei, the level is different.
The front yard of the farmhouse not far to the right of the warehouse is the rest area for the online celebrities, and the rest area for other people is in front of the warehouse. No matter how youthful and energetic the set is, there must be order. Ye Wei, Bree, and Holt were sitting in a row on folding chairs on the set, all reading books and scripts.
A year and a half later, after her life was turned upside down several times, from a budget of 15 million to a budget of 500,000, Brie set foot on the set again and was quite emotional.
The fiasco of "I Love Owls" was devastating. Except for Frank Marshall, who invested in the production, he was fine. Director, screenwriter and co-producer Will Schreiler was eliminated. Jimmy Buffett, Carl Hilson and other producers The filmmakers were also eliminated. Another child star, Cody Linley, went to play a supporting role in the TV series "Hannah Montana." She was actually quite lucky.
With a budget of 500,000 yuan, one VIY alone is worth 50 million yuan.
Bree chewed her gum and looked at "Santiago" next to her. He was wearing a red shirt and black pants and a Manchester United training uniform. He had trained all day. She curiously lowered her head to look at the cover of the book in his hand. It was a woman holding a rope kicking a man tied up with a rope from behind. The book was called "Bad Dick, Good Jane: How Good Girls Make Bad Boys Behave and Fall." Fall in love, take responsibility" She was stunned. Is this for a movie? fun-with-dick-and-jane?
"Well" Ye Wei turned over another page and sighed in distress.
Not quite. This is not her own business. Brie continued to read the script and the character notes she had made, and started to prepare after joining. In the past ten days, she has locked herself up, searching for those feelings of poverty, hesitation, and humility in her childhood. She is an experiential actor, and she likes to become the character when acting. Of course, she has not yet reached the stage, so she still needs to use Adler's method of acting. Although she has acted in comedies in the past, her life at a low ebb provided her with endless energy to act in tragedy for the first time.
She gave up acting in the past year. When she was far away from acting, she went to learn how to be an animal trainer. Looking back at the movie, this is how "Bree" felt hopeful, teased, desperate, and invited.
Nicholas Hoult on the other side is also reading the script, with a rugged and handsome face with a deep frown. This is a bigger challenge for him. Ye Wei refers to Jack Nicholson in "Batman" and "The Crow" Li Guohao of "A Clockwork Orange" and Malcolm McDowell of "A Clockwork Orange", create their own style again.
"How to be a good bad boy: Become the man women really desire"
Ye Wei recently read this book first, and really wanted to know the answer, and wanted to learn to be a good bad boy, if he was a bad boy. All along, he never wanted to hurt Lily. He was willing to do anything for her, but his "character" naturally took him away. He didn't want to do it "again", but it was always another time.
That book didn't let him find the answer. He also read "The Best Boyfriend Code" and "The Secret" and so on. He was really desperate. In the past few days, he read "The Bad Boy in My Life" which is for girls. And then there's this book called "Bad Dick, Good Jane."
The preface of this book seems to make sense. If a good girl wants to tame a bad boy, she must first understand why we love bad boys and why there is a market for assholes?
He also wants to know, why?
¡¾1.My hero
? Almost all the main male characters in movies have typical bad boy characteristics. To be a hero who chases down bad guys and saves girls, you need to be manly, resourceful, and willing to do anything, even break a few laws. No hero can conquer everything in one day by acting like a gentleman. Heroes act first and think later, but bad boys know exactly what to do, and good boys say "be nice" before getting left behind in a high-speed chase.
Just as we can¡¯t blame men for liking the typical female body depicted in the media, women are simply attracted to these heroic qualities in men. After all, in "Beauty and the Beast"Didn¡¯t the Lord also fall in love with the tyrant of the beast? A bad boy allows a good girl to escape her busy mind and become a completely different person. Good girls live with the heavy burden of other people's expectations to always do the right thing, say the right things and be pleasant. Basically, the bad boy equivalent of a full-body massage, a few shots of tequila, or realizing a scene from a romance novel.
2. Giving and receiving needs
Good girls and bad boys are the perfect example of opposite-sex attraction. In love, there are always givers and obsessives who need each other. Good girls have a natural instinct to give and nurture without thinking about giving back. In fact, they are happy to give, they feel the need. Bad boys may need a little special discipline and are unable to love deeply or selflessly due to past roughness. He is a resourceful man who can use everything he receives. It's a survival mechanism, or a game. A good girl was a major target anyway, and she would never know what brought her into his heart.
A good girl looks for the good in everyone, and she even sees that the bad boy is actually a wounded little boy. When she's with this guy, she always thinks she's the one helping him, or "he just opens up to me," and in a way, takes that as a compliment. She doesn't give up on him easily, she gives him endless encouragement and meets his needs as well as her own.
3.The bad boy lookshandsome
Bad boys tend to be better looking and put more effort into their image because they need to attract (seduce) women. He knew he was handsome and he knew people were looking at him. He can be very sober and selfish. Even if a bad boy isn't exactly pleasing to the eye, his status ("bad boy") and attitude toward others can attract any woman. The image of the bad boy has been glamorized for longer than men smoked their first cigarette.
Bad boys are good at attracting people, they have all the good surface traits (boyish, confident, mysterious), look exciting and exciting, "come and pick me up", and you never know if this guy is real. Picking you up. He tortures your soul silently, but he seems to let you know everything about him. All of these qualities would attract good girls, and after all, there weren't many guys like him around.
4. Bad boys make women feelalive!
There are some good boys who make women feel like they are living a life that is predictable and always ordinary. Bad boys are different, they make women feel sexual, exciting and free. A woman's ability to enjoy sex relies heavily on her feeling that she is surrounded by someone. Bad boys made her feel better than anyone else.
There are also female fantasies, with movies and romance novels often based on a rebel or bad boy. Eloquent, confident, overcoming obstacles, survivor and fighter. This all makes women want to explore and feel safe. He will be my hero and he will protect me. In an instant, he can make you feel like you are living in a romantic fairy tale. Ironically, it's us who have to protect the bad boys.
5.Let me in
Bad boys are all mysterious, don¡¯t try to categorize them, they each have their own enigmatic story, and women love a good mystery. If you ever wondered what a woman is instinctively thinking when she's in a room with a bad boy, "I want to know his story? Why is he like this? It's a mystery, so I have to figure it out." Bad boys always give They tap the skin and you end up peeling onions your whole life. The bad boy might give her a specious compliment or say something funny that immediately attracts her. Mystery ensues.
Men love a good hunt, but women love cracks in the nuts, and some want to figure them out, even fix them. She sometimes reasoned out of nothing, and it was a fact that women loved to make things difficult. In primitive times, men were responsible for going out to hunt, and we were responsible for making caves and traps and picking out danger from the air.
Bad boy signs:
1. Appearance, appearance, appearance! ¡ªTattoos, piercings, smiling but not smiling, especially well-dressed, and posing/especially ragged and slovenly
2. Attitude - ambiguous answers, hot and cold distance, confident/shameless/arrogant
4. Stand out from the crowd¡ªattract the crowd, stay true to yourself, and be interesting no matter what you do
5. He makes his own rules
6. Many ex-girlfriends]
"Well" Ye Wei thought to himself, I will never take drugs, I don't smoke, drink occasionally, and don't drive fast Are there any heterosexual men who don't like women? They're all clich¨¦s! He sighed and closed the book, feeling like an idiot because little girls didn't even read this.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In fact, it¡¯s not justHuman nature, it is human nature, likes charming bad guys, and good bad guys are even better, like Iron Man, who is willing to look at a man who looks like his grandmother all day long?
"Brie." He looked at Bree next to him and asked, "Have you ever met the bad boy in your life?"
Bree was stunned for a moment, her eyes not blinking, "I think I've encountered it before."
"How do you feel?" Ye Wei looked at her sincerely, wanting to ask for confirmation: "Why do you like him? You know, what attracts you to him? And what are your requirements for him? Do you want him to behave? The good boy is no longer him, what should I do?¡±
Bree shrugged slightly, "The bad boy is I don't know why I'm attracted to him, that's why I'm attracted to him."
"What about the request?" Ye Wei asked.
"It's only bad for me, but it's not that kind of bad, it's good or bad." Bree didn't know what to say, "It's justI don't know."
Ye Wei nodded ok and asked, "To be fair, am I a bad boy?"
"This is very complicated" Bree looked at the sky dyed red by the sunset.
"Stop talking." Ye Wei shook his head, "It doesn't matter what you say, I'm not bad to you." He looked at Holt in the next seat, handed the book in his hand from behind Bree, and said with a smile: "Hey , Nicky, give you something good to read, haha! It will help you in this performance.¡±
Nicky took the book, and he hugged Bree's shoulder. As soon as he hugged her firmly, his hand bounced back, you bastardwhy! ah! ! This is not good behavior!
"Okay." Holt took a look at the book, then looked at Ye Wei, then at the book, holding back a smile.
Ye Wei laughed at himself, Holt also laughed, and Bree couldn't help but laugh when she was teased. The laughter attracted Gia who was over there in the warehouse to come over: "What is so funny? Is our director stupid? ¡± Her warning tone reminded the trio that this was on a set, which would ruin the emotion and atmosphere that would be needed later.
"I'm not stupid, I'm just giving them a full-body massage." Ye Wei tried hard to maintain the authority of the director, and said as he stood up: "Stop laughing! Come with me to rehearse." The filming must be completed within a week, and the performance cannot be stuck. No one can do it, more rehearsals would be good.
Holt and Bree followed Ye Wei to the warehouse, as well as Yolanda Jones and other main actors of four men and four women. Yolanda, who has long blond hair and plays the mean prom queen, has to be impressive in this stereotypical role.
The party setting in the warehouse has been completed. There are some rock and roll graffiti on the walls. There are CD players, stereos and other equipment on both sides, as well as tables, chairs, sofas and other shabby furniture. There is a dance floor in the empty middle. At present, the red-one camera is still located outside the warehouse. When it is turned on, the shots from the outside camera are taken first.
"Where's the prop gun? Bring it here." Ye Wei shouted as he walked into the warehouse, followed by a group of young people, and the assistant of the prop team ran quickly.
The warehouse scene is almost the entire story. As soon as the male protagonist walks in, the audience must understand what is going on and have a mixed feeling.
Ye Wei took over two prop guns from the stuntman, one was a black tec-9 submachine gun with a 50-round magazine, and the other was a silver 9-round desert eagle. The reason for choosing them is that the cool-looking Desert Eagle can be said to be the favorite pistol in Hollywood movies, while the tec-9 is a symbol of school shootings, such as the Cleveland school massacre and the Columbine High School massacre. Figure, it was once one of the banned firearms, but with the expiration of the ban in 2004, this lightweight submachine gun with a large capacity magazine can be purchased again.
The crew relied on the services of a specialized prop company in the UK to get them so quickly, and a gunfire stunt technician was also present. However, although it was filmed in the UK, the story is set in the United States, and all the actors must speak American accents.
"Are they empty?" He removed the magazines of the two guns and looked at them to make sure they were empty. He then pulled the triggers in a distant place where no one was around, and then put the magazines back.
Holding a gun in both hands, his mood naturally became serious. Ye Wei looked at the actors around him. It had been a long time since he had done this work. It had been four months and it was his first movie this year. He said: "You also know what happened before this scene. Bree, you just tried to commit suicide, and here you are again. You long for your life to be different, but you are worried about whether to be with these people." After playing together, you don¡¯t know, you are just driven here by some kind of youthful confusion.¡±
Bree nodded, took a deep breath, and let herself enter "Brie's" heart.
"And Yolanda, you are just a bunch of teenagers ruled by hormones and stupidity." Ye Wei shrugged, "That's how your life is, domineering in school, and saying a few nasty words to anyone who can be bullied, thinking Just a kick, it's not a thing to you, it's just natural life, like 'Oh, I didn't know that hurt.?, I thought it was just a joke. Why didn't you tell me? hehe. ¡¯ You don¡¯t even remember this guy. Was his name Nikolai or Nora? Who cares, you didn't bully him specifically, he doesn't have that weight. "
Yolanda and others nodded as they listened. Ye Wei looked at Holt, "Then, Nicholas." No one made any move. He suddenly said angrily to Yolanda and the others: "When I call Big Ben 'Nicholas', you have to laugh. This is Bullying! Play your role anytime and anywhere on set, understand, I won¡¯t say it a second time.¡±
Nicola is the female nickname for Nicholas, while Nick is the male nickname. They immediately laughed at him: "Hahaha!"
Bree was also warming up, with a forced expression that was half-smile but not a smile. She had to laugh if she wanted to be like them, but she didn¡¯t want to laugh.
"Then you, Nicholas." Ye Wei said again. Holt listened attentively, and Ye Wei suddenly became dissatisfied: "If you keep acting like this, I'll give you a punch. Show your evil spirit! Play with them in their own way. This is your new life, the last one." Life! You're determined and you're enjoying it."
Holt grinned and stared, feeling evil.
Ye Wei glanced at everyone and said: "When you see this movie on the screen in the future, it will look like this. This is a parallel montage. Yolanda and you are having fun, and Bree is riding a bicycle. Come, Nikolay is smiling in the mirror in his bedroom, he picks up his gun, loads the magazine with full ammunition, he is fully dressed, he tilts his neck, he sets off, and the soundtrack will match Blue Danube.¡±
He clicked his tongue thinking about it, "The Blue Danube is one of the incidents where Nikolai was bullied at school. Because Nikolai likes classical music, one time his Walkman was taken away and it was found that it was full of classical music. They Ridiculing him as an idiot and pretentious, calling him the Blue Danube, but this was just done in passing.¡±
Everyone nodded, and Holt also nodded in understanding.
"Then when he walks into the warehouse, the soundtrack will be the climax of the song. Bree, you know what I mean, you sing and I will demonstrate the moves." Ye Wei said.
"No problem." Of course Bree knew it. Seeing him standing outside the warehouse, she sang: "Da da da!"
In an instant, Ye Wei showed a smile that was hard to distinguish between good and evil. He tied the gun belt on his left shoulder slightly, with the pistol in his right hand pointing upwards. He strode in from outside the warehouse, just as Bree sang to the climax. Duan, he pulled the trigger three times and shouted to himself: "Bang, bang, bang!"
He went on to preach to them: "Then you screamedforget it, I will put on a show with you, Nikolai, you watch and imitate the kid."
At the moment, Holt and Gia stepped aside and watched, while Bree and others walked to the warehouse and took a stand. As Gia shouted action and simulated the sound effect of a banging gunshot, Yolanda and others were in panic. Some girls screamed, some boys exclaimed, and Bree was completely stunned.
"No one moved, no one was hurt." Ye Wei laughed loudly and then in a low voice, pointing the guns in both hands at them, scanning his eyes, rather mockingly, "Stop the noise, I said stop it!!! "
This is different from the plot lines in the script. Originally, Yolanda was shot in the head as soon as he came in, but they all continued to act, all standing there, not daring to say anything.
"It's really lively. Hello everyone." Ye Wei took a step forward and said calmly, "Yolanda Jones! Hello." In the first scene of the script, Yolanda scolded the male protagonist in the school corridor. Yes, Yolanda was frightened and said: "Hi" Ye Wei asked: "Do you know me?" Yolanda's trembling voice was almost speechless, "Yes, you are from our school"
"You don't know me, but I have a gift for you, a surprise. Come here." Ye Wei said. Seeing that they were motionless, Yolanda cried out. He let go of the micro punch with his left hand and lifted it up. He coaxed like a child: "Look, come here, it's okay, I just want to give you a gift."
Yolanda struggled to look at the mute people around her, and she choked with sobs: "Please I don't know you, I'm so sorry"
Ye Wei frowned slightly thoughtfully, "I'm sorry is not a good word, because it means someone did something wrong, and it also means someone should be punished. Is it you?" Yolanda shook her head hurriedly: "No, It's not me" Ye Wei chuckled: "But if you don't come over, you will do something wrong."
"Listen to him, Yolanda." A boy whispered, and another girl said anxiously and fearfully: "Don't anger himhe has a gun"
"Yes, I have a gun." Ye Wei tilted his head and looked at the Desert Eagle in his right hand, looking a little proud, "Are you scared? I thought you didn't know how to be afraid. Come here, baby, I just want to I'll give you a gift. Now!" His voice became more serious, and his face became fierce.Yolanda stepped forward tremblingly. Bree opened her mouth to say something but couldn't. Everyone else watched Yolanda walking three or four steps closer to Ye Wei.
"Just stand there, baby, just stand there." Ye Wei said, Yolanda stood still stupidly, Ye Wei looked at her with interest, then at the crowd, then at her, smiling. "Yolanda, let's count to three, it'll be okay." Yolanda's face was covered in cold sweat with fear, foreboding what would happen next.
Ye Wei raised his left index finger and pointed the pistol in his right hand forward, "One."
"" Yolanda let out a breath that sounded like wheezing and whimpering. Seeing that his expression was getting worse and worse, she tremblingly said pitifully: "One." He raised his middle finger again, and she said tremblingly: "Two." "He raised his ring finger again, and she cried and said: "Three" Everyone was watching.
She had just pronounced three, and before she finished speaking, Ye Wei pulled the trigger with his right hand and shouted: "Bang!!!!!!"
Yolanda was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. Bree got goosebumps all over her body, and everyone screamed uncontrollably!
"Okay, that's it." Ye Wei said with a satisfied tone as he walked towards them: "I was really good at shooting just now, and then the climax of "Blue Danube" will sound again, mixed with gunshots and your screams , the sound of Yolanda¡¯s head exploding and falling to the ground, ta-da-da!¡±
Seeing him approaching, Yolanda stepped back involuntarily, and everyone felt the pressure approaching.
Ye Wei frowned, "What!?" He was really funny, okay, he continued to act with a smile: "This is a long night, we all have to enjoy it."
"Oh" Bree was not acting, she was really dumbfounded and her heart was beating fast. The person with the best acting skills on this set may be the director. He completed what he explained
Holt over there is mumbling, it has to be like this, it has to be like thisbad boyevil, violent, crazy
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? God! Gia really doubts that Nicolas Hoult can play a better role than this guy.
¡¡
When night falls in Manchester, the filming of "Bullying Night" is about to start.
Ye Wei, Gia, Berghof and others all stood behind the camera, and the red-one operated by Ali-Asha faced the warehouse door in the distance with a frontal panoramic lens. The actors took up their positions, the lighting and recording were ready, and the old show manager Lynn wrote down the slate, da! Ye Wei shouted: "fire."
In the front, Holt, with his back to the camera, holds a gun in both hands and strides towards the busy warehouse.
