Afternoon, Jialong film set, solitary building.
Lin Zheng held the script and appeared on time.
All the scenes in Zombie were actually set in this lonely building. This was to reduce the cost of filming and to highlight the supernatural feeling of this lonely building.
The story of the movie was about Qian Xiaohao, a famous action movie star in the 1980s. He was famous for his " Mr. Zombie." Unfortunately, he was getting older. He had no choice but to move into a dilapidated public house with his belongings and decided to hang himself.
Who knew that when his life was hanging by a thread, he was haunted by a ghost, but he met the reclusive last generation of Celestial Master Ah Jiu to save his life.
Xiao Hao was curious about the albino boy, Xiao Bai, and the woman, Hui Yinghong, who often peeped at the door of 2442 and ate the sacrificial food. Then, he learned about the bloody tragedy that happened that year from the security guard of the building, Uncle Yan.
The incident back then had caused Hui Yinghong to suffer a serious psychological trauma.
Not long after, Uncle Dong, who was in the same building, accidentally fell to his death. Uncle Dong's wife, Aunt Mei, asked Fa, who specialized in evil magic, to help him resurrect, but it led to an irreversible tragedy. Finally, Xiaohao and Ah Jiu faced the fierce zombie attack again, and they had to find a way to work together to subdue this crazy bloodthirsty immortal body.
The story looked old-fashioned, but it was full of suspense and anticipation. It also combined the ancient zombie culture of China.
Subduing the zombie was also to pay tribute to Ninth Uncle. The rest of the scene actually had terrifying and bloody elements.
It could be said that this script was actually very outstanding.
Other than paying tribute and nostalgia, there were also elements and innovation of zombies.
Lin Zheng had already memorized his lines in the script.
"Are…all of you here?"
Mai Junlong wore a sun hat and sunglasses as he spoke to the stage supervisor.
The stage supervisor looked at the few main actors present. Other than Hui Yinghong and a few more famous actors who were not present, everyone from the Hong Family's class was present.
Qian Xiaohao, Chen You, Lou Nanguang, Zhong Fa, and Lin Zheng.
"Director Mai, the first and second female leads are not here, but the rest are here!”
The stage supervisor counted the number of people and Mai Junlong nodded. After discussing with Qing Shui Chong beside him, he raised his head and said,"Come on, we're all family. Today's the first day.”
"Who wants to be the first?"
Mai Junlong glanced at Qian Xiaohao, who quickly waved his hand.""Director McGonagall, I still have to prepare!”
"Where's Uncle Chen?"
After Chen You's role as the last Heavenly Master was taken by Lin Zheng, he played the role of the big villain in the drama, Uncle Dong. In the end, he even turned into a zombie.
"I can't do it either…The script has changed, and I still have to familiarize myself with it!”
Chen You, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, also tried to shirk, causing Mai Junlong to curl his lips.
In the first scene, very few actors took the initiative to step forward.
Other than being out of sorts, the supernatural movie was also a little strange.
How was it strange?
People in Xiangjiang City believed in this. It was said that the first scene would summon the soul. Therefore, no one dared to go on stage. Usually, the one with strong Yang Qi would go on stage first.
Looking at the entire crew, the one with the most vitality was definitely Lin Zheng, who was just over 20 years old.
"Ah Zheng, why don't--"
"Good!"
Lin Zheng did not hesitate at all.
He had the system with him, so of course he wasn't afraid. Of course, he didn't believe in this, so he volunteered.
This made the entire production team heave a sigh of relief.
"Zheng, you can do it!"
"Ah Zheng, you're still the best!”
"Haha…"
A few actors from the Hong Family's class came forward to greet Lin Zheng. Mai Junlong also nodded at him in satisfaction. Then, he flipped through the filming log and chose Lin Zheng's first scene.
"Let's start with our own scenes!"
"The scene where Ah-Jiu treated the ghost to a meal in the house?”
Mai Junlong said to Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng thought for a moment and knew which match it was."Alright, then let's do this round!"
"Yo, you've read the script thoroughly?"
Mai Junlong narrowed his eyes. Lin Zheng smiled and didn't say anything.
"Alright, come on then. Prop master, get ready. We'll move the set to Ah-Jiu's room.”
Mai Junlong looked at Lin Zheng's expression and knew that he was confident.
This made Mai Junlong even more surprised.
It was rare for a new actor to be in such a state and confident.
He took a deep look at Lin Zheng, then without further ado, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted at the props team.
The person in charge of the props team made an OK gesture from afar, and the group immediately walked towards Ah-Jiu's house.
This was an important place. It was the place where the last Taoist master, Ah Jiu, lived in Zombie. There were countless decorations, cultural relics, and various evil suppressing tools passed down from his ancestors. Therefore, the house looked extremely messy and there were many messy things piled up.
" Make-up artist, do Ah Zheng's makeup. Half an hour-"
"No need, Director McGonagall. I can do it myself. 10 minutes is enough!”
Lin Zheng had once again impressed Mai Junlong.
He interrupted Mai Junlong's words and walked towards the dressing room. Props, photography, lighting, and other equipment were set up in the room.
"This guy is very fierce!"
An old actor was talking, and a few actors were whispering.
"Yeah, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, right?”
"This is the kid's first time acting, so he doesn't know how difficult the first scene is!”
"Moreover, he has guts!"
Qian Xiaohao and the others laughed. They were obviously tempted by Lin Zheng's attitude. They wanted to see how confident he was.
Mai Junlong and Qing Shui Chong were sitting in front of the monitor. They were also eager to see Lin Zheng's performance later.
No one in the entire production team realized that their attention had been attracted by a new actor.
……
Ten minutes later.
Lin Zheng, who had the face of Ninth Uncle, walked out of the dressing room in a casual manner. He was wearing shorts, slippers, a singlet, and a tattered robe.
This somewhat sloppy and desolate appearance, with a hint of contentment amidst his laziness, instantly made everyone's eyes light up.
Most importantly, Ninth Uncle's trademark eyebrows and white hair.
This was definitely the appearance of a down-and-out heavenly master.
"Good fellow!"
"This kid's makeup skills are really amazing!”
" This temperament, there's nothing to say about it…"
Qian Xiaohao and the others widened their eyes.
It could only be said that Lin Zheng's makeup was really in line with Ah-Jiu's position as the last Heavenly Master in the script.
"D * mn, it's too similar!"
"This is the feeling!"
Mai Junlong also stood up from the monitor. His eyes were glowing. The more he looked at Lin Zheng, the more surprised he was.
Even Qing Shui Chong, who was beside him, nodded his head."Perfect, very perfect!"
"I just want an image…"
The two of them were the screenwriters of Zombie. Although they had imagined the image of the last Taoist master, Lin Zheng's makeup was definitely beyond their expectations.
"Director Mai, can we start filming?"
Lin Zheng stepped onto the set. The camera, props, lighting, and so on were all in place.
Everyone looked at Mai Junlong, waiting for his orders.
Everyone couldn't wait to see Lin Zheng's performance.
"Phew-"
Mai Junlong let out a deep breath. This was his first film as a director. Just like Lin Zheng's first time filming, it was also his first time filming. Therefore, other than feeling a little excited, he was also a little nervous.
"Huff…huff…"
He adjusted his emotions and glanced at Qingshui Chong before signaling the script supervisor beside him,""Let's begin!"
“ok！”
The script supervisor was a young man. He walked in front of Lin Zheng with a script board and immediately slapped it down.
"Day one of Zombies, scene one, action!”
Pa!
Lin Zheng's first scene officially began.
Everyone in the production team stared at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng's body appeared in the camera of the first camera unit.
That was…an extremely down-and-out Celestial Master of the last generation!
