Chapter 130: honest python
Probably because Su Yunshao has met too many people in the past few days, and when he met someone like Di Dao, he didn't feel anything.
Isn't it just looking for a snake demon to play a movie?
How can it be terrible to refuse the king of hell, right?
Su Yunshao: "I can ask for you."
"That's cool!" Director Di said while driving, "Our small-budget movie originally cost only 50 cents for special effects, and now we can spend no money on special effects, then go buy a hot search, and definitely praise it as a hit. , Maybe he will be the queen of actors in the circle in the future."
It's getting louder and louder.
Yu Baiyi really admires the directors over the years, and even the snake demon dared to invite him to act in a movie. Did he think it was Bai Suzhen who just wanted to fall in love with Xu Xian?
"Director Di, Master's time is limited, just tell me what's going on."
"Okay!" Director Di responded cheerfully, "Other people's python themes are all shot in tombs. It's dark, the place is small, and the filming scenes also include parkour. I want to take a surprise. This is not a karst landform. Is it? I just want to make horror movies in the beauty..."
According to Director Di, after selecting the general scope of the shooting, everyone will shoot and set scenes in various places.
It took more than a month to shoot after the start, and the early stage was very smooth.
It rained heavily those two days.
It happened that the crew had a scene in the rain, so there was no need to sprinkle water on the faucet, just go straight on.
The original plot is that the hero and heroine encounter a heavy rain and hide from the rain in a cave.
If it is a love movie, there will be some plots that can only be watched by adults at this time, but this is a horror movie, so the hero and heroine picked up some dry wood and dead leaves and piled them together to keep warm.
When the wet firewood is lit, it will produce thick smoke, and it is this thick smoke that wakes up the giant python hiding in the cave.
Not to mention, there's nothing wrong with logic.
From the perspective of the script, at this time the hero and heroine will start to perform without physical objects, showing the panic of seeing the python appear.
The actors invited in the low-budget movie are all newcomers, and Director Di has already made preparations for many times over.
It's quite in line with the plot of the script, and it just appears behind the hero and heroine.
Suddenly, multiple screams sounded, and the actors and staff in the entire cave all ran out like crazy.
Everyone ran outside, and some people dragged their injured legs for a long time, only to find that the giant python didn't catch up for some reason.
It was impossible for the actors to go back. The staff didn't want to lose their jobs and had to go back to get various machines and props, but they were also afraid of snakes, so they could only invite local people who were not afraid of snakes to come.
The locals have lived here for so long, and they have never seen any giant pythons. They don't believe in the existence of giant pythons. They went to the cave and found nothing.
The staff removed the tools from the cave.
The film can't go on, but the materials that have already been filmed are all in it, and Director Di saw a part of it when he was sorting it out.
The photo Yu Baiyi showed Su Yunshao was taken from it.
"If I was going to shoot that scene at that time, and the giant python happened to appear, shouldn't there be a lot of shots? Why is there only such a picture?" Yu Baiyi asked.
"It happened too suddenly, the camera didn't move up in time, so the head and upper body of the python were not captured. During the escape, someone knocked down the camera, and the shooting angle became underground, and only the python was captured. A little figure when I left."
Director Di patted the steering wheel angrily, "I'm still too unqualified as a director. A qualified director should have anticipated all kinds of emergencies."
Su Yunshao: "…"
Yu Baiyi: "…"
When making a python-themed movie, you will encounter such a sudden situation as a python. It is impossible for a normal person to think about it, right?
Just saying that, some things are not very clear, just as the camera caught the part, Su Yunshao just wanted to take a look and talk about it.
Su Yunshao was a master invited by the boss of the company. After the movie, it was up to her to hire a real python actor. Director Di did not dare to offend him, so he respectfully invited him over.
The current material is the original material that has not been edited. Director Di selects the part that was shot in the cave and clicks to play.
Su Yunshao started watching the scene where the hero and heroine started to ignite, until the camera fell down at the end, the shooting angle changed, and the traces of the giant python were captured. He watched it back and forth several times, and asked Director Di to adjust the playback speed to the slowest. Look again.
Yu Baiyi and Director Di didn't know what Su Yunshao was looking at, but they felt that she would not waste time, so they stayed with him.
Su Yunshao instructed Director Di to stop the screen at a certain moment, and then put it to the maximum.
After zooming in, Yu Baiyi and Director Di knew what Su Yunshao had been watching.
Before the hero and heroine were about to set fire to the fire, the giant python appeared, and it quietly hid behind the rock, as if observing the situation.
Waiting for it to appear when it should appear, and then suddenly appearing, it is like...
Di Daule patted his thigh: "This giant python has an actor's heart! You can see that it appeared at a good time and position, but I didn't keep up! It's the world's fear of giant pythons that led to As soon as it appeared, we ran around in fear, so that it didn't have a chance to show up!"
Yu Baiyi's mouth twitched when he heard it. Although he also felt that the timing of this giant python's appearance was too coincidental, would it be too much to think about it this way?
"Director Di, you didn't tell it a play, how does it know when it should appear and how to move?"
"I told you!" Director Di pointed to the screen, "In order to make it easier for the male and female protagonists to film performances without physical objects, I told them in front of them, telling them where the giant python came from and would How come."
Su Yunshao said at the right time: "This cave has an echo effect. The crew is filming here, and they are so detailed. The giant python probably heard it completely."
It was complete until the python acted in kindness and friendship once, and helped them avoid the special effects fee.
Director Di has a fiery heart. The most difficult thing about filming animals is how to make animals who can't understand human speech cooperate with them to perform. Meeting a giant python who loves acting so much is really the pinnacle of his life!
"Master, can you take me to see that giant python? I want to teach it a play, so that it can be more realistic when it is actually performing, and the timing will be more accurate."
Su Yunshao: "…"
Yu Baiyi: "…"
Just, outrageous.
Su Yunshao reminded: "Director Di, that giant python is not an ordinary python. It doesn't know what opportunity it has encountered, and it has become a monster."
"Isn't that better?" Director Di's face flushed with excitement, "How good the demon is! The demon can understand what I am saying, can get rid of the special effects of fifty cents to the greatest extent, and shoot the ideal picture in my mind. The movie is going to explode!"
Yu Baiyi shook his head at Su Yunshao, indicating that Director Di was already fascinated by the movie explosion in his fantasy and could not communicate normally.
Su Yunshao gave up the idea of communicating with Director Di, "Take me to see where the python appeared."
"Okay!" Director Di took the lead and walked in front. As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the crowd gathered outside, all of them were familiar faces from the crew, "What are you all doing here?"
"Director, I heard that the master is here."
"Director, we want to meet the master."
"Director Di, does the master sell a peace talisman?"
Director Di is now thinking about going to see the giant python, who is very talented as an actor. How can these actors and staff stop the master from here?
"Don't all gather here, it will cause trouble to the hotel..."
With Director Di blocking in front, Yu Baiyi explained to Su Yunshao what was going on in the room.
In this incident, when a staff member fled, he only looked to see if the giant python was following, but did not look ahead, and accidentally rolled down the hillside.
The **** of the hillside is not too steep, and there are many sharp stones on it. Everyone thought that this man must have fallen to his death. As a result, he got up by himself. When he went to the hospital for inspection, he found that he had not even suffered a fall. Later, he found out that it was a safety talisman. saved his life.
This year, I broke my leg and went to the hospital. The total cost of the front and back is more than 10,000. The safety talisman can also relieve the pain of hospitalization and recuperation, and make money without delaying work. Who doesn't want it?
Yu Baiyi smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about them who have actually experienced them. Others in the company will ask me to buy them when they hear it. Every purchase starts at ten. How can I have so many to sell?"
Su Yunshao's safety talismans are also drawn one by one, and they are not printed by machines. How can they be supplied in unlimited quantities?
And recently, Su Yunshao was preparing for next month's Xuanmen Grand Competition. He was drawing all kinds of talismans that might be needed. He was too busy to do it, so how could he have time to draw a lot of safety talismans?
"Too many." The last time Su Yunshao painted a large number of safety talismans, three ghost envoys and Bai Xingchen helped. She was the only one who mixed cinnabar, took yellow talismans, and stacked talismans. She was so busy that she couldn't make much.
Yu Baiyi: "Don't worry, I know the severity."
If he hadn't been blocked at the door by the actors and staff, he wouldn't have told Su Yunshao about it, because saying so would be equivalent to asking Su Yunshao for a peace charm in disguise, and plainly increasing her burden.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze..." Director Di persuaded everyone at the door.
Su Yunshao went to the group and asked: [Do fellow Taoists know where to sell the Peace Talisman? 】
Gao Ran: [Isn't the peace symbol you drew by yourself the best? 】
Su Yunshao: [I haven't had time to paint recently. 】
Guo Wanqing: [The Yuanshan Temple sells it. 】
Hengshu: [The Qingshan faction is also sold. 】
Su Yunshao: [Please send me some from the Taoist priest. 】
Hengshu: [Good. 】
Su Yunshao chatted with Hengshu privately, and asked about the specifications, effects, and prices of the Peace Amulet sold by the Qingshan faction, and sent all this information to Yubaiyi.
"Xiaoyu, find someone to send this information, and ask how many people need it and how much they need. I will ask Daoist Hengshu to help send it over as soon as possible."
Yu Baiyi wanted to give Su Yunshao a smile, but she couldn't smile because of the name "Xiaoyu".
"Yun Shao."
"Young Master Yu." Su Yunshao quickly changed his words.
Yu Baiyi: "...Yun Shao, why do I think you've gone bad with the stars?"
"Where is it?" Su Yunshao smiled and pushed him, "Go ahead."
Ten minutes later, all the people outside were evacuated, and Su Yunshao and Yu Baiyi, led by Di Dao, went to the cave where the giant python once appeared.
The karst landforms are full of strange and beautiful scenery, but it is precisely because of the unstable shape of this landform that greatly affects the transportation construction in the area.
Director Di led the way out of breath, not forgetting to commend the crew members.
"The traffic here is really inconvenient. Many equipment and props are carried by the staff bit by bit. Just for this, I hope the movie will be a big hit."
Director Di's idea is very good, but whether a movie can be a big hit depends on various factors.
The film is well shot and the picture presented to the audience is good. On the one hand, the theme and concept of the film itself must be good.
During the release of the film, whether there is strong competition for the popular models in the same period, and whether the protagonist and supporting roles of the film will have a fatal scandal before the release, these will be called factors that affect the reputation of the film.
The road up the mountain was too long, and it was too boring to walk without talking, so Director Di started talking about the production of the movie.
Su Yunshao was not interested in the movie. He listened to it out of courtesy. While walking, he took in all the surrounding topography into his eyes. Yu Baiyi gained a lot from listening to it.
"It's here." Director Di said as he walked, his physical strength was huge, and he rested on the spot with his hips on his back.
What appeared in front of the three of them was an arch bridge-shaped cave with a gurgling creek flowing out from the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave was very deep. The sun today is not big, the clouds are low, and the light is not enough to shine inside. A monster with a pitch-black mouth.
Just looking at it from the outside made Yu Baiyi feel flustered.
"Director Di, there's no one else in your site selection. It really is a horror movie!"
Director Di laughed and wiped his nose proudly, "You can't fool people with low-budget movies, you have to be responsible for those audiences who paid for movie tickets to enter the cinema."
In recent years, there have been too many shoddy movies. Many of them have called a crowd of small flowers to show their faces, relying on the spending power of fans to support the box office. The plot, logic, and acting skills of the movie itself are all messed up, and the word of mouth is so bad.
If there are more serious and responsible people like Director Di in the film industry, instead of just thinking about how to make money, the audience will have more good movies to watch, and the film industry will be more prosperous.
In view of Director Di's work attitude, Su Yunshao, who doesn't watch movies on weekdays, wants to contribute a little to the box office of his films: "When Director Di's film is released, I will definitely take people to see it."
Yu Baiyi also expressed her support and affirmation to Director Di with practical actions: "I will invite my classmates to go with me."
"Hahaha, it's settled!" Director Di didn't think they were talking politely, and because of this, he felt that he had to make a big hit and low cost movie.
It also makes the peers in the circle who look down on low-budget movies and always think about big investment and big production fall below their glasses once.
Su Yunshao stood at the entrance of the cave and felt the breath inside. There was indeed a faint demonic aura. She was not sure what the situation of the snake demon inside was. She didn't want to let Director Di and Yu Baiyi follow up to take risks.
"Director Di and Yu Shao are waiting for me outside. If something happens, shout or call me. If I can't come here immediately, you have to find a way to save yourself."
Director Di disagreed: "How can I do that? I have to talk to Giant Python about the cost of acting."
Yu Baiyi responded: "Okay."
Before entering the entrance of the cave, Su Yunshao asked Yu Baiyi, "Have you brought all the Thunder Talismans and Fire Talismans?"
"I brought it." Yu Baiyi patted his pocket, "I always carry the things that can save my life at a critical moment when I go out. The formula I use is to be recited every day, you can rest assured."
"Okay." Su Yunshao turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone and went in.
Director Di hurriedly grabbed Yu Baiyi: "Young Master Yu, what is the Thunder Talisman and the Fire Talisman?"
There was nothing to do standing outside, Yu Baiyi took out the Thunder Talisman and the Fire Talisman, and by the way, he talked about the last time Su Yiyi and Fu Ye were almost killed by the Specter, and they were rescued by the Thunder Talisman because of the jade Talisman.
Director Di heard the brilliance in his eyes, and shouted: "Our movie can completely add a role of a celestial master, no special effects are needed for any thunder and fire, the master can just come with a talisman, 100% real and effective, and the old man does not deceive. "
Yu Baiyi: "…"
"Don't think about it, it's impossible."
"Why?" Director Di screamed, "It's a pity that such a good subject is not made into a movie!"
Yu Baiyi had no choice but to tell Director Di about the existence of special state departments and some of the above policies concerning the Xuanmen world. Hearing that Director Di wanted to fight back, he felt that his small arms couldn't twist people's thick thighs, but he gave up such a good subject. Really heartache.
So, Su Yunshao, who was groping forward in the cave, heard Di Dao cry for some unknown reason.
"Boss, I want to make a movie woo woo woo..."
Su Yunshao: ?
In fact, she really didn't quite understand these art workers, she shook her head, and moved in the direction of more demonic aura.
On the way, we passed karst caves, two underground rivers, uninterrupted stalagmites, stone pillars, stalactites, and saw a lot of beautiful crystal flowers.
Su Yunshao carefully avoided these stone flowers that took thousands of years to form.
After walking for another ten minutes, I heard the sound of water droplets falling on the stones and the sound of snakes crawling on the ground.
Su Yunshao walked in the direction where the voice came from. Strangely, the snake didn't run away, but swam in her direction.
This confused her a little.
The snake demon is not afraid of people, and the snake demon does not hurt people. In the captured picture, the snake demon seems to be secretly observing humans. Did it come out of curiosity about what humans are doing?
With such an idea, Su Yunshao decided to give it a try.
She didn't go there anymore, she sat down as if tired from walking for so long, picked up a broken stone and tapped it on the ground.
It's not a random percussion, but a "Little Star" rhythmically and rhythmically.
Su Yunshao's ears were very sensitive. After she clearly heard her footsteps stop, the snake stopped swimming away. After the rhythm of the song came out, the snake speeded up its swimming speed and moved towards this side very eagerly. come.
She felt that she might have unintentionally triggered some buff, put down the small stone, and hummed softly.
The snake swam even faster, getting closer and closer.
Su Yunshao heard the hissing sound of Snake Letter, looked back and saw a silver python.
The snake body of the giant python was thicker than her waist, and the snake head was raised high and lowered gently, staying at the level where Su Yunshao and Su Yunshao looked at each other. The blood-red snake eyes looked terrifying.
Su Yunshao smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Su Yunshao, a Celestial Master. I'm here to see you today and help Director Di who was frightened by you last time to ask if you want to appear in his movie?"
The python tilted its head.
Su Yunshao always felt that there might be something wrong with her eyes. She even saw from the movement of a python slightly tilting its head that it was puzzled. She was worried that it couldn't understand and spoke slowly.
"Last time, you suddenly appeared and scared people. Many people screamed and ran away. Do you remember?"
The python lowered its head, as if a little sad, and the tip of its tail made a small circle in depression.
Su Yunshao hadn't seen such an honest demon for a long time.
Taoyao is a cunning little lady. Yuanyuan, who should be honest and honest, has learned to play foolish and deceive people. Baihu Nuomi always likes to be mischievous.
After being poisoned by the three little ones for so long, when I first saw the demon who knew that he would bow his head and admit his mistake, he almost sighed in the sky: There is still salvation in the demon world!
"It's alright, everyone just suffered some minor injuries. I know you didn't mean it, so I won't blame you." Su Yunshao raised his hand and gently touched the python's head, just like the comforting gesture of touching a child's head. .
The python was stunned. No one has touched him like this for a long time. Human body temperature is really warm.
The snake body of the python bent down a little again, so that Su Yunshao didn't have to raise his hand, as long as it lay flat, he could touch his head.
Su Yunshao lowered the height of his hand and continued to stroke the python's head. At the same time, he also had some guesses in his heart.
This giant python should have been raised by someone, otherwise it would not be so close to humans, nor would it show intimacy after humans touched their heads.
It should be that people who keep giant pythons often have such interactions with it.
Just... where did that person go?
Su Yunshao couldn't feel that person's breath on this giant python.
Suddenly, the giant python coiled up on the spot, resting its head on the snake, the pointed snake tail rolled up a stone, and knocked it on the ground, it was "Little Star".
Su Yunshao smiled, sat down on the spot, and sang to the accompaniment of the giant python hitting the stone: "Twinkle, sparkle, Jingjing..."
The soft singing resounded in the cave, and scattered along the countless karst caves under the ground.
Somewhere in the dark corner of the ground, a behemoth moved quietly.
