1. Strange things happen frequently
On this day, the crew of director David came to a small island in the Pacific Ocean, the Island of Death, to shoot the horror film "Death Smiles". The Island of Death is covered with trees, weeds, and thorns, and the sharp sea breeze blows from all directions. The sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling made people shudder. David chose this place because he thought the environment here was perfect for shooting horror movies. So, when David saw this deserted island, he decided to shoot it. That's it!
According to the local natives, the Death Island originally had no name. It got its name because there is a mountain several hundred meters above sea level at the northwest end of the island. On the top of the mountain there is a milky white building. It was a building built by the M country during World War II. It was built by a general. Later, for unknown reasons, the general's wife committed suicide by jumping off the roof of the building one night. Since then, the island has been rumored to be haunted. It is said that anyone who lives here for a period of time will die strangely. After the end of World War II After the M army withdrew, there was no one left on the deserted island, and even the local indigenous residents nearby did not dare to go to the island easily.
After hearing this anecdote, David smiled faintly and thought that this was better, and it would be more conducive to the early publicity and hype of his film. That night, the crew moved into the island of death. Since there was no other place to live on the island, The crew had to move into the milky white building on the top of the mountain, and then the crew members moved into their own rooms. Unexpectedly, the next day, an accident occurred. A handyman named John accidentally hit the rear window while wiping the rear window. Because the building was built on the top of a mountain, with a cliff behind and the vast blue sea below, by the time David sent people down to rescue John, he had already become a cold corpse.
John was in trouble, and everyone felt uneasy. One of them died before they could even start. Could it be that this island was really an island of death as the legend said? Otherwise, how could John be so safe while cleaning the windows? Falling into the sea?
Unexpectedly, two days later, late at night, something happened again! The crew photographer couldn't sleep at night and heard a scream, and then heard a "thump", obviously someone fell from the building again. He hurriedly woke up the others and ran down to the deserted island to rescue people, but he couldn't find anyone after a long time of salvaging. David quickly gathered everyone to count and found that only Buick was missing. It was obvious that the person who fell from the building was Buick. As for Buick's body, everyone speculated that he fell into the sea after falling from the building and was washed away by the surging sea.
Buick is a local native whom director David met before he went to the Island of the Dead. He is about 27 or 28 years old and looks weird, just like the legendary vampire. David fell in love with him at first sight, relying on his intuition. David thought he was a good fit for the role, so he took him to the Island of the Dead. David was surprised to find that Buick was not sleeping at night and was on the rooftop. The prop master came up and told him: David said that in the evening, Buick borrowed props from him and said he would go to the rooftop to try out the role in the evening to get a feel for it so that he could get into the role as soon as possible. But he accidentally fell from the rooftop and died in the sea.
Two people died before the horror movie "Death Smiles" started filming. The whole crew was in a panic and felt a little breathless. In fact, the director David was the one who felt the heaviest. As the director and person in charge of the crew, He felt a heavy pressure. David went to the rooftop again in the moonlight to check the scene. He saw that the huge rooftop was empty. The sea breeze blew, making a humming echo in the corners of the rooftop. It's creepy.
David saw a cane left on the rooftop. Under the flashlight, it glowed faintly. The prop master explained that this cane was the one that Buick had borrowed from him. He walked forward, picked up the cane and looked at it. After being stunned for a while, he told everyone to go downstairs and rest. Everyone had long been unwilling to stay on the rooftop. After hearing David's words, they rushed down as if they had been pardoned. The rooftop.
2. Ancient legend
The next morning, David called Buick's family and told them the unfortunate news. In the afternoon, more than a dozen Buick family members came to the island by boat and found David. We talked for a long time in a room about Buick's compensation issue.
In the evening, David brought Buick's family and all the crew members downstairs to a large open space on the island. David said to everyone with a serious look: "Buick fell from the building accidentally. Death, not even a corpse was found. According to local customs, as long as seven drops of human blood are dripped on the last thing the deceased used before his death, the ghost will return after seven days. This way, Buick's soul will be called back. Then, we can talk to Buick's soul, and through the conversation, we can find Buick's body. This is the local legend of seven days of resurrection!"
After saying that, David took the prop cane and a sharp knife from his body. He stretched out his hand and gently cut his wrist. The blood slowly condensed into blood beads, and finally It landed on the crutch with a "snap". Everyone held their breath and stared at David with wide eyes, stunned! Was David crazy due to the excessive pressure? He actually believed in this ancient legend that the soul can return to life in seven days? ! After seven days, can Buick's soul really come back? This is too absurd! On the other hand, if Buick's soul really returns after seven days, what kind of horrible scene will it be?
Everyone had their own thoughts. David seemed to see through their minds. He stared at everyone with sharp eyes and said word by word: "Believe me, Buick will definitely come back to life. By then, I will be with Buick's Let's start a dialogue with the soul, let his soul help us find his body, so that we can give an explanation to his family!"
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. During these days, David was busy preparing for Buick's resurrection. Seeing that the director was obsessed with summoning the spirit, several timid people in the crew found David and argued with him. We have to leave this strange island of death. David said coldly: "Buick has just died, and his body is still warm. When Buick comes back to life and his body is found, I will never stop anyone from leaving. But now, no one can leave. You must leave Death Island half a step, or you will bear the consequences! "Those who wanted to leave were intimidated by David's momentum, and no one dared to mention leaving Death Island again.
3. Seven Days of Resurrection
The seventh day finally arrived amid everyone's anxious waiting. David said that the soul-calling ceremony would be held at 12:00 midnight that day, saying that this was the time when the yin energy was the heaviest and it was easiest to call back souls.
After dinner, the entire crew and Buick's family followed David downstairs and came to the open space. Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the arrival of midnight in fear. When it was almost midnight, David asked all the crew members to line up in two rows with the crutch as the center, and Buick's family stood behind the crew, ready to welcome the return of Buick's soul.
After everyone had done all this as requested, David took out the knife and dripped seven drops of blood on the cane again. After that, David stuck the cane into the ground and bowed deeply to it. , and then he said slowly in a low voice: "Buick, come back, don't keep us waiting!" Although David's voice was not loud, it was very clear on the quiet island at midnight, and everyone's scalp was tingling when they heard it. Paroxysmal numbness.
David shouted three times, and the echo echoed over the desert island for a long time. When everyone was feeling uneasy, they heard a terrifying laugh coming from the treetops not far away. Everyone was immediately terrified, and the timid ones were all over. I got goose bumps and cold sweat broke out.
David looked up at the tree and saw a dark shadow on a big tree not far away. David asked bravely: "Who are you? Are you really the soul of Buick?" A low and hoarse answer came from the tree: "Director David, I am the soul of Buick. I should have left long ago and went to where I should go, but you actually used the ancient ritual of summoning the soul to send it away after seven days. My soul is called back. Thank you, Director David, for giving me this opportunity, so that my soul can return in seven days and testify against the murderer who murdered me! "
After hearing this, everyone was stunned. What? According to Buick's "soul", he didn't fall from the building accidentally, but someone murdered him?
Buick seemed to have seen through everyone's thoughts and laughed coldly again: "Yes, I was auditioning for a role on the rooftop, but this villain took advantage of me getting into the mood and pushed me down from behind. After I die, we will soon know who killed me. Today, in front of everyone, I will find him out and let everyone see his true face! "As he said this, Buick suddenly came down from the treetops. It flew towards this side like lightning.
Everyone in the crew was stunned, with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, as if they were frozen by acupuncture points! Buick was soaked all over, and seawater was still dripping from his body. It looked like it had just come out of the sea.
At this time, a person in the crew took several steps back and sat on the ground with a plop. Everyone looked and saw that the person who fell to the ground was Jamie! He was sweating profusely and trembling all over. He said anxiously: "Buick, don't blame me. The reason why I murdered you is because only by killing you can I have the opportunity to stand out and become the protagonist…"
It turned out that the original protagonist of the filming of Death Island was Jamie, but before landing on the island, David accidentally met a local fisherman named Buick. Director David immediately decided that Buick was a good fit for "Death Smiles". Therefore, they took him to the Island of the Dead, planning to let him audition in a few days. If he passed the test, he would play the leading role in the play. Unexpectedly, Buick was eager to film and actually asked the props to The master borrowed props and went to the rooftop to rehearse, but was pushed down the stairs and fell into the sea.
Buick was a local fisherman and was an excellent swimmer. After he fell off the roof, he was not drowned by the sea water, but swam back to his home outside the island. The next day, he asked his family to call director David. Tell him the truth. What David said to the crew later was all to hide the fact that Buick was still alive from everyone, in order to find the real murderer. After Buick's family came to the island, they asked Director David to In order to help them perform a play, Buick used the local legend of "resurrection in seven days" to reveal the murderer's true form! Buick actually didn't know who the murderer was, but he thought that if he appeared as a "ghost", the murderer would be After listening to Buick's family's account of what happened, David guessed that Jamie was the most likely person behind the murder, because only Jamie and Buick had a conflict of interest. There was no direct evidence. So David agreed to Buick's idea of "resurrection in seven days" to find the murderer! Unexpectedly, this trick was really effective. After seeing Buick's "soul", Jamie couldn't stand it anymore and confessed his sins.
"Then how did the Buick fly over the tree?" Jamie asked Director David unwillingly. David smiled and said, "It's very simple. You forgot that we are making a movie, so we can use special effects. , Haha!" Jamie fell to the ground with a pale face and let out a desperate howl like a wild animal.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, someone couldn't help but ask Director David, "Could it be that the handyman John was also murdered?" David smiled bitterly and explained, "John's death was It was a complete accident. Two days after John's accident, I got the news and was about to tell you about it, but Buick had another accident. John fell from the building because he received a call from his wife while cleaning the windows. He said his old father had died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. John was so anxious that he fainted and fell into the sea!
So that's what was going on. After hearing this, everyone sighed with emotion.
