I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 115 [The film is out]

【Today is the [-]th Ghost Festival of the lunar calendar, let us look forward to the release of Mantra~】

[Hungry Ghost Festival also posted a blog promotional video, it's really hell. 】

[The underworld crew has hammered it. 】

[It's been so long, why are there only photos and no teaser video? 】

[What does this movie look like, ah curse, tell my buddies. 】

……

Post-production time flies by quickly.

The official Weibo account registered by Light and Shadow will be updated as usual.

Every festival, will send some stills materials.

For example, the Great Heat at the beginning, and later the festivals of Army Building, Liqiu, Mofu, Chufu, Qixi Festival, Chushu... these festivals.

And when the time came to the Ghost Festival, the cut of the film was just finished.

"Director Lu, I want to follow you."

Lu Zhengyi:?

Thinking about yesterday, the film has reached the final stage, and the editing can be finished today.

Lu Zhengyi rushed to the editing room early, planning to watch the feature film as soon as possible.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, Li Feng and Yang Jianwei stood up abruptly, bowed to themselves, and left a sentence similar to that of a young and Dangerous boy worshiping his elder brother.

"Hey, why do you have to do such a great gift?"

Lu Zhengyi smiled and waved his hands, and walked closer, "Tell me the reason."

"Because, you saw Teacher Chu some time ago?"

"Or... because of the light and shadow."

From that day on, Chu Renmei realized that she even stole her name from a character in the play in this world, and lost control in front of them.

It can be said that the two of them devoted themselves to the editing work.

Even, there were several times when I took the initiative to apply to stay and work overtime, which was really touching.

"Hey, hey...it's all there."

Li Feng talked a lot. He listened to the question and replied without thinking.

Sometimes, Lu Zhengyi feels that when he and Bai Wei get together, the two of them can understand how much they can't talk, just like looking in a mirror.

"For Mr. Chu's situation, our acceptance is relatively high."

Yang Jianwei spoke a step later, and when he thought it through, he said it in an orderly manner, "Thanks, Director Lu can give us a little bit of psychological preparation, first let us see the process that goes against common sense from those video materials."

"It's not enough to say, let us see Teacher Chu all at once, this heart can bear it for the time being."

"And we want to talk to you, on the one hand, because of your great ability. On the other hand, the situation of Guangying is not very good. Some time ago, we heard a lot about your conversation with Manager Liu, and we also thought a lot."

Having said that, he paused, "You're right, your crew already has two productions, and you've had a great time working with...Mr. Chu. Next, there must be more collaborations. We believe that your success will only be a matter of time."

"As for the situation of me and Ah Feng, you also know that we need money and a job that can bring in a stable income."

Compared to waiting for the light and shadow to fall, or resigning and looking for a job again.

They are more inclined to stay directly with Lu Zhengyi.

Because in terms of remuneration, it is really generous.

Staying and working here may often be frightening, but at least, you don't have to worry about life.

For example, if there is no money to repay the mortgage, the house will be taken away directly;

The birth of the child, the money for milk powder, the child's mother's nursing fee... these problems can all be resolved relatively properly.

Lu Zhengyi nodded and walked into the house, "Then why should I recruit you?"

While speaking, he sat down on the sofa, "Wait..."

He raised his hand suddenly, motioning for the two people who were coming behind his buttocks to stop, "You almost hit Teacher Chu."

Chu Renmei likes to follow behind his buttocks, and the two also followed, didn't they meet.

"what?"

Li Feng and Yang Jianwei hurriedly made way to the side, leaning against the wall, and gestured politely with their hands, "Chu, Teacher Chu, you go first, you go first."

This is just like the doorman at the entrance of a high-end hotel.

It's just that there is only air in front of them, and they can't see anything.

"Otherwise, you can show up and stand aside, they can see you anyway."

Lu Zhengyi said to Chu Renmei in front of him.

"Row."

In the air, a female voice responded, and then, a woman's figure suddenly appeared in Li Feng and Yang Jianwei's field of vision.

"Chu, teacher Chu is good."

They hurriedly greeted each other.

Chu Renmei also nodded to them politely, then stood aside silently, and started to brush with a tablet.

Xiao Zhongyong lay lazily on the sofa, watched this scene, opened his mouth, showing the small fangs on both sides, and yawned.

"You let us..."

Standing in front of the sofa, the two of them are just like interviewing.

Li Feng just opened his mouth to say something, but Yang Jianwei stopped him later.

Both of them have already seen that Lu Zhengyi intends to recruit them.

However, the words can not be too clear.

You have to follow the rhythm of others.

"It's like this, Director Lu, we helped you finish editing this movie during this period of time, so we have a general understanding."

Yang Jianwei stood half a step ahead and explained, "Many of your materials contain some special content in the shooting, which cannot be easily seen by others. It is probably because of this that you need to hire someone to do the post-production work alone, instead of directly handing it over to the post-production team that is responsible for these."

"But the editing of a movie is by no means a simple one person can complete. Even if your shooting is very special, you can save a lot of post-processing, but the editing, screen color processing, and even finely trimming some people who should not appear in the clip frame by frame, the amount of work is not something that one person can do."

"You and Afeng have also seen the working ability of the two of us during this period. If we join your film crew, the post-production team will be more perfect, which can save a lot of things and let the film be released..."

He spoke seriously of his advantages.

Except for no resume, this is basically like entering the third round of interviews and meeting the boss face-to-face.

"You're right."

Lu Zhengyi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I really need to have my own post-production team. The scope of business involved doesn't need to be extensive, and I don't need to do any operations. I just need to focus on image processing."

"You and Li Feng really meet my conditions, but there is one point, let me correct and remind you."

"Light and Shadow Media, although the current situation is not good, but it will not fail. Manager Zhang of your company is still very capable. Maybe because of some troubles, Light and Shadow Media has fallen into a trough now, but this process will not be very long."

Although, he has been guiding the two of them intentionally or unintentionally to think in that direction.

But the moment they actually bring it up, it still has to be corrected.

Poaching is one thing, after all.

It is also necessary to do things that will deal with the aftermath without offending others.

"All in all, think about it carefully."

Lu Zhengyi looked at them kindly, "If you really want to come to my side, you should put a fairly complete end to your last job first."

"I have prepared the contract here, waiting for the two of you to join."

"Come to my side, among other things, I can still guarantee the salary and treatment. Hey, this is not a cake. I don't like to paint cakes. When the time comes, the rules and regulations will be written in the contract. I will give you what I should give."

Li Feng and Yang Jianwei were taken aback for a while.

After a long time, they nodded.

They originally thought that Director Lu's intention to solicit was so obvious that if he opened his mouth today, they would probably be able to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, he slowed down instead.

"Hey, Deputy Director Zhang has finally sent a message."

At this time, Lu Zhengyi's cell phone rang a notification tone.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it, then stood up, "Come on, let's watch the film together."

As he spoke, he connected to the video call of Deputy Director Zhang.

"Crooked, Director Lu?"

Assistant Director Zhang's voice sounded from the phone.

"Hey, hey, here we are."

Lu Zhengyi replied, "I'll turn on the screencasting directly, and you can connect it yourself?"

While talking, the three of Xu Feng and the others had already started to turn off the lights, and projected the clips cut out on the computer onto the screen.

Beside, Chu Renmei and Xiao Zhongyong also came over.

Especially Xiao Zhongyong, his eyes were full of curiosity.

The current technology is very advanced, even if the two are not in the same place.

Directly through the network, it can also achieve the effect of screen projection and remote viewing.

"Let me tell you first, the equipment on my side is definitely not as good as yours."

Assistant Director Zhang was fiddling with, and there were occasional voices from other people.

It sounds like you are at home.

But soon, these voices disappeared, and he should have closed the door.

"It doesn't matter. Movie theaters also have giant screen halls, 4K shows, animation, and couple halls." Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "And there are differences between regions, and the viewing equipment cannot always be the best."

"However, you can show mercy later."

"This is the first time I have arranged post-processing alone."

Assistant Director Zhang smiled, "I dare not offend you."

"But what is the first time, you have only made two films in total."

"But judging by your tone, I think you should be quite confident."

Lu Zhengyi didn't answer, and waved his hand in front of the phone to signal him to watch the movie quickly.

On the screen, the figure of Li Ruonan has appeared.

At the beginning, she was recording a video for the orphanage.

As for the "Curse" in the previous life, it should have been Li Ruonan's conversation with a psychiatrist at the beginning. From that clip, more attentive viewers should have noticed that this mother is not a good person.

But now, Lu Zhengyi has put this paragraph behind. How can a horror movie reveal who the villain is at the beginning?
But the actors are different, and the character design has changed.

The characters have changed, and the plot will naturally give people a different impression, so the order of the screenings has also changed.

The image of a nervous and cautious mother appears in the audience's field of vision.

While watching, Xiao Zhongyong also glanced at Chu Renmei next to him, and recognized the person on it, who was acting, even though his face was different.

On the screen, Li Ruonan looks very pitiful and cramped, full of longing for his daughter who has not been able to see his daughter for many years because of his illness.

But soon, with the passage of time, this first-person view of the mother began to undergo some subtle changes.

From the eyes, tone of voice, and body movements, if you observe carefully, you can see that her performance is very traced.

After all, Chu Renmei is not an actor with a professional background.

She can't be as natural as Yu Wenxiu, but this just fits the side of Li Ruonan who pretends to be a man.

"Although it is a first-person perspective, the shooting is very chaotic, but the cut is very smooth, and the transition from rigid to natural."

The voice of Zhang Yu's comment came from the phone, "It can be seen that Li Ruonan, in front of the camera, has gradually changed from a soft and artificial posture to a natural one. It really seems to be for the good of his daughter, and he has the appearance of being a mother..."

But true or false, who knows whether Li Ruonan has this daughter in his heart?

After all, this is a script written from her first perspective.

And even the people they filmed don't know, maybe only the screenwriter can understand.

In the following time, Zhang Yu commented from time to time, but most of the comments were praises.

The interpenetration of the two timelines is very smooth, coupled with the coherence of some details, it is very good to piece together the chaotic materials during shooting, like a jigsaw puzzle, into a well-made picture scroll.

But at the same time, he was a little surprised by Lu Zhengyi's talent.

To be honest, even if you really like it and put in the effort, you can learn from real shots.

This learning efficiency should not be so high.

After the two films are completed, they will be able to have the level of independent post-processing. Zhang Yu can foresee that with the next two dramas, maybe Lu Zhengyi will be able to achieve real independent shooting and become a real director.

Lu Zhengyi was relatively calm about these compliments.

He watched the film silently, making a comparison in his heart, thinking, when will he be able to create a work that truly belongs to him.

Lu Zhengyi knew very well that he was able to achieve such perfection in the first independent post-processing arrangement.

It's all because he already has a template in his heart - the "Curse" he has read in his previous life.

Although, between the two, whether it's the plot, the actors, or the real scene...there have been great changes.

But it is undeniable that he is indeed standing on the shoulders of giants to look at the world, doing the thing of "the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade".

Create from scratch, from zero to one,

There is a huge difference in difficulty between improving on the original basis and extracting one (Tang Guo version) from one.

Lu Zhengyi still has a long way to go in the director's profession.

"Since there are no revisions, then this is a finished film, and I will send the fragment for review tomorrow."

When the lights in the room were turned on again, Lu Zhengyi looked at several people and said calmly, "Fengzi, you can capture some more clips, make a preview video, and send it to Guangying."

"It's the end of August now. If everything goes well, the review should be completed in September."

"At that time, strive for October [-]st... Forget it, Mid-Autumn Festival, try to set the Mid-Autumn Festival as much as possible. At that time, the audience will be reunited with their families, and go to the cinema to watch "Curse". Think about it, it will be a beautiful thing."

As soon as these words were spoken, both the person in charge of editing and the assistant director Zhang at the other end of the video fell silent.

They are very clear about how malicious this film is.

"Oh...it's time to be scolded again."

Zhang Yu's faint voice sounded from the phone.

Once upon a time, making a movie was something that should be praised and blessed in his mind.

But now with Lu Zhengyi, if nothing else happens, he will be chased and scolded by the audience in the future.
