“Cut！”
"Wait a minute, Olsen. Can your expression be more…emmm, crazier and more ferocious?”
" Imagine yourself being possessed by an evil spirit. It will dig out the most evil animal instinct in your heart.”
"You feel incomparably brutal and want to kill everything…Yes, yes, it's getting interesting.”
On the third day of filming for Xuan's first work, Paranormal Activity, the shooting progress was already close to half.
Normally, filming a movie was not done according to the sequence of the plot. Instead, it was divided into different scenes, and the content of the same scene was prioritized.
But Xuan's Paranormal Activity was in the same building, so he decided to follow the plot order.
This way, it would be easier for Sister Ao to get into the mood.
Xuan himself, the male lead, was basically behind the camera and didn't have many chances to appear.
The entire film was focused on Elizabeth Olsen.
It was her first time being the female lead, so she was under a lot of pressure.
At first, Elizabeth Olsen was not used to it.
She was used to the stage and her performance was too heavy.
It might not be too obvious in a TV series, but in this kind of fake documentary that emphasized reality, it was very dramatic.
Xuan could only help her adjust her feelings.
If she could act out the Red Witch's feeling in 'Doctor Strange 2', it would be enough.
Fortunately, as the story progressed, Sister Ao gradually got into character.
Under the constant psychological suggestion, she really treated herself as the female lead and acted out the joy of moving into a new home, as well as the uneasiness and fear of discovering something strange.
Due to the limited cost, Aomei and Xuan were wearing their own clothes.
This also increased the sense of immersion.
For example, the big gray T-shirt that Sister Ao was wearing now was the pajamas she wore at home.
He stood in front of the mirror and looked at his daily appearance.
Sister Ao seemed to be getting into the zone.
The scene they were filming now was of the female lead," Katie," suddenly getting up in the middle of the night, inexplicably going to the bathroom, and staring blankly into the mirror.
More than an hour later, the male protagonist, Maica, suddenly woke up. When he realized that his girlfriend was not there, he quickly ran to the bathroom.
When they arrived at the bathroom, the DV happened to capture the ferocious scene of " Katie."
Sister Ao had performed a few times, but it still lacked meaning.
She was usually an optimistic girl and would giggle when she saw something funny.
When he saw her unintentionally, the corners of his mouth would usually curl up slightly.
If he used his usual expression, it would be very difficult for him to give a creepy effect.
It was too pretentious and unnatural.
"Forget it, forget what I just said.”Xuan shook his head and decided to change the method of filming.
There was no need to completely replicate the female lead's performance in the original movie.
Everyone's performance was different, as long as the performance felt weird.
There was no need to be limited to one method.
The previous Xuan had been so obsessed with the perfect restoration that he had almost lost the core of the movie.
Fortunately, he came to his senses very quickly and was able to adjust in time.
"Just perform according to your own understanding. It didn't need to be too ferocious, nor did it need to be crazy.”
"The key is that it makes people shudder and fear you from the bottom of their hearts.”
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Elizabeth Olsen was also a talented actress.
She nodded as if she had understood something.”
"Okay, relax. We'll take a few more shots. I believe you can do it.”
"Thank you." Sister Ao smiled sweetly.
As other actors would only appear occasionally, most of the time, it was Aomei and Xuan filming.
Adding on the fact that the two of them had been intimate from morning till night, she gradually got into character. She inadvertently treated Xuan, who was holding the DV, as her "boyfriend".
Sometimes, she would even naturally hold Xuan's hand like the male and female leads.
Then, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and let go with a red face.
"Very good, A036, scene 3, take 5! Get ready…Action!”
After Xuan used his own smurfboard, this scene officially started shooting.
First, it was his own lines.
He went to the bathroom with the DV in a panic and asked in a frightened tone,
"Oh! Darling, why are you standing here in the middle of the night?”
At this moment, Sister Ao began her performance.
The female protagonist, Katie, looked at the mirror and slowly curled her lips into a smile.
However, her eyes were extremely cold, and one could even feel her killing intent!
Xuan's rented Sony-HD X260 home video camera recorded this terrifying scene.
Even though he knew that this was a movie, he still felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't expect Sister Ao to not only be a scary Red Witch, but also to be the female lead of a horror movie.
This one was considered over. When the camera was done, Xuan quickly shouted,“Cut!”
Unexpectedly, Sister Ao did not stop. She was still looking at the mirror with a strange expression!
In order to ensure the authenticity of the light, this set of shots was shot at night.
Adding on the fact that Xuan rented an empty house, it was a little scary to begin with. The scene was even stranger.
However, Xuan didn't panic. He crossed his arms and calmly looked at Sister Ao in the mirror.
He even met Sister Ao's strange gaze.
After staring at each other for a long time, Elizabeth Olsen could not hold it in any longer.
Her expression gradually melted and she laughed happily.
"Aiya, Chu! Why aren't you afraid at all? I can't even scare you.”
"Please, I've watched countless horror movies. Plus, I'm an atheist. Do you think you can scare me?”
"Boring, you're not even cooperating.”
Elizabeth Olsen was usually a lively girl, but after spending some time with her, she became a little funny.
The cold and aloof image of the Scarlet Witch in his previous life had long collapsed in Xuan's heart.
However, compared to the Red Witch, Xuan liked this cute girl who loved to smile.
……
Finally, after a week of filming, the last scene was finished.
Sister Ao had fake blood on the corner of her mouth as she slowly approached the DV camera. She squatted down and picked it up, smiling miserably at the camera.
It was clearly a sweet smile, but at this moment, it made people shudder.
“Cut! It's time to wrap up!"
"Eh? Is it over?"
Sister Ao still hadn't recovered from the shock. She had wanted to finish the shoot as soon as possible and get the 3000 USD reward.
But now, she suddenly wanted more. She wanted to continue filming with Xuan.
"Yeah, our movie is done! I succeeded!"
“Yeah！”
Elizabeth Olsen couldn't help but lean over, and the two of them hugged each other to celebrate the end of the filming.
Unknowingly, they suddenly realized that they had been hugging for a long time.
It had already exceeded the duration of the " celebratory hug."
Xuan's eyes met with Aomei's. After pretending to be a couple for a week, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.
