Chapter 1629: The opening of the show (the cat who sleeps every day)


    After relaxing in the hot spring hotel for a night, the crew was involved in the intense shooting.


    The film uses a mixed shooting technique, which tells the story of two girls traveling in modern cities during the day after they come here, but after falling asleep at night, they will dream of turning into the two ancient artists and acting in ancient villages and towns. And even in dreams, they clearly retain their consciousness, just like they wake up in the day and go back to the ancient times when they fall asleep at night.


    I have to say that this setting is quite interesting. Through the shuttle and intersection of time between modern and ancient times, the audience and the two heroines gradually revealed the truth of this legend. Although it is not considered a popular drama in terms of subject matter, it can at least be regarded as a masterpiece of outstanding quality.


    Of course, when the two protagonists travel back and forth through time, the identities of others will also change. The uncle who farmed in ancient times may be the owner of a convenience store in modern times. The officers who pursued them may also be the patrol officers of the police station. Among these people, only Duanmu Huai played the girl consistently without any change.


    So in the early stage of the movie, this character is actually used to confuse the audience and make the audience mistakenly think that she is an important plot NPC, and then in the middle of the plot, when the girl played by Duanmu Huai takes action to save the two girls, the audience will mistakenly think that this is a good ghost.


    It was not until the two girls revealed the truth of the legend that Duanmu Huai pushed them into the lake and drowned.


    Um? You said that the truth has been revealed, why are you still killed?


    This is where Japanese horror movies are different from other countries.


    Chinese horror movies emphasize that evil cannot defeat justice. No matter whether you are a zombie or a female ghost, if you meet my righteous Taoist monk, you can beat you to death with the power of heaven and earth and never be reborn. Pay attention to the importance of goodness, good consequences, evil consequences, and injustice, debts and debts.


    And European and American horror movies are more about taking the dualism of good and evil, demons persecuting human beings, and angels save human beings. Only by believing in God can one be saved, but if you don’t believe in God, you will have to die.


    But Japanese horror movies are completely different.


    It doesn’t matter whether you have a grudge or not, it doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or not, it doesn’t matter whether you have anything to do with me. As long as you are targeted by me, you will die.


    It’s that simple, who can reason with you?


    This is the biggest difference between Japanese horror movies and other countries.


    Horror stories in other places all emphasize that a good person will be rewarded. Most Chinese horror stories will appear. The protagonist sees someone pitiful at the beginning of the story, and then helps him. Then when he encounters an evil ghost, the latter appears as an expert, indicating that you have helped me once, and I will also help you once. This means that a good person will be rewarded.


    As for the horror story in Japan, if the protagonist sees someone feel pitiful and helps him at the beginning of the story, most of them will be deceived and entangled by evil spirits, and then die.


    So what does such a story want to tell people? Maybe don''t look for trouble.


    No wonder the Japanese are so indifferent to outsiders.


    By the way, Duanmu Huai plays a female ghost this time, which is considered a more anti-traditional image. After all, the first impression that a Japanese female ghost gives is that she has long hair covering her face and lowers her head to stare at the ground. This time Duanmu Huai plays the female ghost with Bob''s head, which looks no different from the modern ordinary girls, and she can''t see the female ghost at all.


    It is not the same as those female ghosts who give people a weird feeling in other horror movies.


    Of course, if you lose this external condition, the actors'' acting skills will be high. Like Sadako Kako, not to mention anything else, their appearance alone in the haunted house makes people feel scared.


    If Sadako Kayako dresses up like an ordinary girl, then to make the audience feel fear, you need superb acting skills and momentum.


    Fortunately, this is Duanmu Huai’s best.


    The entire plot of the movie revolves around Duanmu Huai and the two female protagonists. It can even be said that the two female protagonists are the top priority. Although the role played by Duanmu Huai is very important in the script, it actually has more supporting roles in the camera than ordinary supporting roles. Everyone is professional, so it is natural to shoot.


    “……CUT! OK, this scene has passed!”


    As the director''s voice sounded, Kurokawa Akano and Sakurashima Mai, who were standing in the camera, breathing, breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to the side to rest. Duanmu Huai also came over at this time and waved his hands at the two of them.


    "Yo, thank you for your hard work, I feel good."


    There is a high requirement for acting when shooting horror movies. Although in the movie, the audience sees the protagonist alone, in fact, at the filming scene, it is really not possible to show the fear of being alone under the onlookers of twenty or thirty people.


    "After all, this kind of movie is not too difficult."


    As Sakurajima Mai said, she took the mineral water handed over by Duanmu Huai.


    "I heard from the director that this movie is planning to cooperate with Hakone to carry out tourism promotion?"


    "Yes, otherwise Hakone wouldn''t have agreed to the shooting so generously. What are you doing with Akane?"


    Duanmu Huai looked at Kurokawa Akino sitting next to him now, then took out a notebook from his bag and was looking through it.


    "I am investigating the rumors about Ayuhu in Hakone, and want to see if I can find any clues."


    "Chiyin, you are really interested in this kind of thing."


    Hearing Kurokawa Akane''s answer, Mai Sakurajima looked emotional.


    “It’s like the police are investigating a case.”


    "Ah hahaha, I''ve read similar books before, maybe I''m really good at doing this."


    "But those strange and rumors should be made up. If I ask me, there is no credibility at all."


    Although he plays a timid girl in the movie, Mai Sakurajima seems to have no idea that ghosts exist.


    "Well... I think it''s different."


    “It’s different?”


    "Yes."


    While turning the pen in his hand, Kurokawa Akain said as he spoke.


    "I think there are roughly two kinds of rumors about strange talks."


    "Children''s sweetheart and fishy cat?"


    "??? Xiao Ai, what are you talking about???"


    "It''s nothing, I''ll just talk about it, you can continue."


    Maybe I was brainwashed by Hachina.


    “………………………Simply put, I think strange stories are divided into creative categories and real stories.”


    "Aren''t weird stories all created ghost stories? Why do there still be real stories?"


    Sakurajima Mai took a sip of mineral water and asked incredibly, while Kurokawa Akatsuki shook her head.


    "This is different. Creative stories are basically the kind of stories that are ''heard from my friends'' friends'', and there is no credibility."


    “Isn’t most weird stories like this?”


    "But there are also some things that are not. For example... Some people say that when they are sleeping at night, they suddenly open their eyes and find that they can''t move. Then they find that an old lady is looking at her by the bed, and then faints when she wakes up. It''s already morning."


    "This kind of story is quite common, and I have heard people talk about similar stories in school."


    Duanmu Huai also interjected at this time. “Yes, but this is not actually a weird story created.”


    "Don''t it count?"


    "That''s right, from this story, we only know that the narrator wakes up while sleeping, then sees an old lady, and then loses consciousness again. After waking up, we don''t know who the old lady is. Is it a ghost? Or hallucination? It''s even possible that the narrator is not awake at all, but he just has a dream in a dream. We think this is a strange story because our instinctive first reaction determines that the old lady is a ghost. But we have no way to know whether the old lady is a ghost, whether the narrator is a confused sleep or something strange has happened."


    “………………”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other and couldn''t help but think of the spring syndrome. From a certain perspective, the spring syndrome is very consistent with the "real story and strange story" mentioned by Kurokawa Akane.


    It sounds like there is no explanation, but it does exist, but I don’t know why it exists. It’s just that after hearing this story, everyone will interpret it from their own perspective.


    "I''m not used to thinking about these difficult things."


    Duanmu Huai first gave up thinking. He hated philosophical topics the most. And at this moment, the director''s voice sounded again.


    "Okay, next act 125 is ready to start filming!"


    After everyone finished filming, it was already evening. The crew members stayed to pack up their things, while Duanmu Huai and the two walked down the mountain.


    “It looks really weird on the mountain at night.”


    Sakurajima Mai raised her head, looked at the dim mountain road in front of her, and whispered, while Kurokawa Akano nodded.


    "The records I looked at showed that this mountain was once called the sacred mountain, and many people disappeared in this mountain. The records I investigated before also showed that the people in that village were missing on this mountain."


    “…I hope we don’t encounter any corpses.”


    At this moment, fog began to appear around, and the three of them didn''t care much about it at the beginning. After all, the people here had told them that there might be fog here in the evening. The same was true for the previous few days of shooting, so the director usually announces his disbandment at this time.


    But today''s situation seems to be a little different.


    “………Be careful.”


    Duanmuhuai, who was walking in front, stopped and squinted his eyes and stared at the fog in front of him. Seeing his reaction, Mai Sakurajima and Akatsuki Kurokawa were stunned for a moment.


    "Is there any problem? Xiao Ai?"


    “Shh——”


    Duanmu Huai signaled the two not to talk, and then looked around.


    “Things are not right.”


    "Is something wrong?"


    “Nothing can be heard.”


    Duanmuhuai looked around again, but at this moment, the thick fog almost reached out to see five fingers, and could only barely see the mountain road in front of her, and even the trees could not see clearly even a little further away. Not only that, there was a dead silence around, and there was no sound of birds singing or insects singing, as if there were only three of them left in this world.


    "Wait, what''s going on?"


    At this moment, Mai Sakurajima hurriedly took out her cell phone and couldn''t help but scream.


    "What''s wrong?"


    “My phone has no signal…”


    "Me too."


    Kurokawa Akino also quickly took out his phone and took a look. Duanmu Huai was the same. Here, their phones were completely "out of the circle" and there was no signal at all.


    "Is anyone there...?"


    At this moment, a faint girl''s voice suddenly came not far away. Hearing this voice, Mai Sakurajima and Akano Kurokawa both breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly wanted to go over and check the situation, but Duanmu Huai was quickly caught.


    "Follow me and don''t leave."


    “Ah…um…”


    Although Duanmu Huai''s expression was a little serious, the two of them still nodded obediently. After all, they all knew that although Duanmu Huai looked petite, his martial arts value was outstanding, and he even had the ability to kill bears with no hands. It is obviously the safest way to follow her.


    So the two followed Duanmuhuai and walked towards the place where the sound came from.


    The curved mountain road is very difficult to walk on, and because of the fog, it took the three of them a little time to get closer to the hazy figure in the fog. On one side of the mountain road, a girl in a bathrobe was sitting on the ground, looking around uneasy. She looks about 13, 4 years old,


    Duanmu Huai and the other three stepped forward and helped the girl up. The latter breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed his head to salute.


    "Thank you very much for your help..."


    As he spoke, the girl looked at the three of them curiously.


    "My name is Chaoyun Changpu, I am a resident here. Are the three... foreign travelers?"


    "Well, it''s almost the same. How could you be here alone?"


    "I don''t know either……"


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, the girl named Chaoyun Changpu frowned slightly.


    "When I come back to my senses, I''m already here... But this place should be near my shrine. If possible, please come to my house."


    “Ah, um……”


    Faced with the girl''s invitation, the three of them did not refuse, but they still looked at each other in confusion.


    Is there a shrine nearby?


    Chaoyun Kangpu has inconvenient legs and feet. She said that she was born like this. As for these fogs, Chaoyun Kangpu said that fog often appears around the shrine, but she has inconvenient legs and feet. She rarely goes out normally. She has no memory of why she appears here.


    As they spoke, the fog in front of them gradually became thinner. When the four of them walked out of the fog, what appeared in front of them were winding mountain paths and the shrine Torii not far away. A ray of sunrise emerged from behind the mountain, illuminating the scenery in front of you.


    Wait, the sunrise?


    It was evening when I went down the mountain!


    "Xiao Ai, look over there...!"


    Just as Duanmu Huai was puzzled, Mai''s face suddenly changed slightly, she pulled Duanmu Huai''s sleeve and pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away.


    Duanmu Huai looked down and looked in the direction of Mai Sakurajima''s finger. She could see green farmland and wooden houses at the foot of the mountain. People came and went from time to time on the dirt road. However...these people''s clothes are not the clothes of modern people, but more like characters appearing in era dramas.


    “…………Where did you do this?”


    I have to say that at this moment, even Duanmu Huai was stunned.
