Chapter 30: The Curtain Rises!

  Chapter 30 officially starts filming!

  However, Zhou Shaoming was not panicked at all during this period. He didn't waste any time and signed up for a short-term director training class. He studied hard and spent 50 points to undergo intensive training in the director system. Now, Zhou Shaoming is no longer a novice who knows nothing about filmmaking. It can be said that he has mastered the basic requirements of a director.

  To say that the entire Saw franchise is in his mind, as long as one shot at a time is compared and slowly filmed according to the original movie, it will naturally be successful.

  This movie is just like a newbie village task in an online game, every step of the way has guidance, simple and easy to operate.

  "Director, all preparations are complete, everyone is in position, we can start!" a staff member ran over to say to Zhou Shaoming.

  "Oh? Can we start now? Alright! Let's begin a new chapter in life!" Zhou Shaoming threw the cigarette on the ground, took a look, then stepped on it with one foot and twisted it hard. With a wave of his hand, he rushed towards the starting point of his new life.

  "Everyone in position, ready!" Zhou Shaoming suppressed his extremely excited mood and stood behind the monitor, slowly scanning around.

  The script supervisor held the script board in front of the camera, looking at Zhou Shaoming, with a notebook and pen tucked under his arm, ready to start recording after sitting down on one side. The cameraman Martin carried the camera, focusing intently on the lens, while the lighting technician adjusted the lights to dim them to achieve the dark atmosphere at the beginning of the scene.

  Robert was shackled with thick iron chains, sitting on the ground, frowning and closing his eyes to get into character, while Rayna was fully submerged in the water pool, with a faintly glowing key floating over her face.

  Christina gazed at herself from a distance, her face slightly unsettled, as if she couldn't believe Zhou Shaoming had really taken the director's seat and was no longer the kidnapper who had pinned her to the bed and attempted to rape her.

  Looking back on the past three months, Zhou Shaoming's eyes were slightly moist. I finally overcame everything, I'm finally going to make a movie! I want to achieve this sudden dream and won't let it slip away!

  Looking at the clapperboard in front of him, which read "SAW", Scene 1, Shot 1, Director Smith Zhou and other information, Zhou Shaoming looked at all the crew members and finally swung his arm: "Action!!!"

  "Clap!" The scene marker board closed sharply and clearly, and the movie officially began!

  Adam, played by Rayna, suddenly wakes up in a bathtub full of water, coughing repeatedly as he struggles to get out of the tub and falls to the ground in a panic.

  The light at this time was extremely dim, and Raynor could hardly see what was in front of him. He was terrified to find that his feet were locked by thick iron chains. He felt the chain with his hands, stood up trembling, and shouted loudly: "Save me! Save me! Damn it, who locked me up?"

  Tugging at the iron chain with all his might, Raynor panted heavily and shouted: "Oh God! Is anyone there? I need help! Dammit, I may be dead already!"

  "You're not dead..." Dr. Gordon, played by Robert, said weakly as he sat on the floor, looking like a guy who had struggled with all his might and lost hope.

  "Who's there? Who is it? Speak quickly!"

  "Don't bother calling, I've tried"

  "Hey, whoever you are, turn on the light!"

  "I want to too, but I couldn't find the switch."

  。。。。。。

  The two future film emperors started to show off in front of the camera, both of them are still young and have been getting along quite well these past few days, secretly having a mindset of competing with each other on camera.

  In the original play, the actors had never rehearsed before and their acting was awkward and clumsy. But now it's different, with new actors, better actors, making this play a completely different quality.

  Because Robert lived in Zhou Shaoming's house, and Jeremy Renner also wanted to communicate with Robert more, he often came to eat. The two of them had memorized their lines so well that while eating, one would suddenly say a line, and the two would immediately put down their knives and forks, act out their roles, and perform back and forth, often leaving Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting on the side gobbling his food, staring with wide eyes and laughing helplessly.

  Leina was convinced by Robert's superb acting skills and didn't stay at home anymore. He picked up a quilt and came to Zhou Shaoming's house, sleeping on the sofa with Robert. Robert, who had been inspired by Zhou Shaoming's great hope, also refused to lose face in front of his junior, performing better and more deeply each time.

  And Christina didn't change the nature of being a movie actor, accompanying these two to go crazy, plus Zhou Shaoming's commentary on the side, the four people often acted until late at night, 2 or 3 o'clock, no one felt tired.

  A short week of preparation brought Robert, Rayner, Christina and Zhou Shaoming a deep friendship.

  Under the efforts of these two performing lunatics, a horror movie was gradually turned into an Oscar-worthy performance show, which naturally satisfied Zhou Shaoming. Which director wouldn't want his actors to work hard for their own movie?

  Now it's officially started, after sufficient preparation by the two of them, they immediately began a wonderful performance and as always, brought out the drama.

  "Perfect!" Zhou Shaoming, sitting behind the monitor, watched their performance and carefully compared it with the original Saw's opening scene shot by shot and line by line in his mind. He was delighted to find that the revised Saw had Robert and Rena, making it even more perfect!

  "Stop! Beautiful, great performance! Jeremy, you're awesome! And Robert, you're cool!" The scene was finally completed, and Zhou Shaoming led the way to stand up, applauding with a smile.

  The staff around also applauded, some whistling loudly. Having worked in Hollywood for a long time, they had seen many big and small stars filming, but the performance of these two was indeed good, with great feeling.

  "We're ready for the next act! Everyone, let's go!" Zhou Shaoming shouted enthusiastically, encouraging all the staff. This down-to-earth performance made everyone feel happy and work more actively and efficiently.

  ---------

  The night gradually deepened, the sky turned ink blue, as if someone had washed it with clean and gentle water. There were no floating clouds in the sky, only a curved new moon hanging quietly in the quiet night sky.

  The night was cool, the dew gently condensed and disappeared, Kirsten leaned on the railing of the villa's walkway, her hands propping up her chin, quietly gazing at the small white poplar tree in the courtyard.

  Peach-shaped leaves luxuriant and broad, not long after all hung on the crystal dew. In an instant, a drop, helplessly fell on the green grassy lawn.

  "Hey, it's late, Christina, why aren't you sleeping?" Zhou Shaoming walked to Christina's side in his pajamas and asked puzzledly.
