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

Chapter 117 [What is Underworld]

"Need not."

Lu Zhengyi spoke softly, his tone was as calm as ever.

Zhang Xueming: "..."

Late at night, on the office floor of the Light and Shadow Building,

In the office with only a weak desk lamp on, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, a woman in a fitted white long shirt, paired with a pair of dark blue high-waisted pants, and a capable high ponytail is crossing her arms, looking down at the traffic-driven road and the red street lights below.

As usual, in formal attire, Zhang Xueming's life seems to have no life, but only work.

Listening to the response on the phone, she raised one arm, stretched out her slender white fingers, and tapped the bluetooth headset by her ear.

After a while, Zhang Xueming asked, "Are you so confident?"

She figured out why Lu Zhengyi wasn't afraid that these small streams of comments would become bigger and turn into a torrent of public opinion that would overwhelm him.

When the time comes for the premiere, it will be a surprise.

From the heights, straight down to the bottom.

The answer is only the quality of the film.

"Do you think the quality of this film is higher than that of the old corpse in the mountain village?"

She spoke again.

In fact, Zhang Xueming could sense Lu Zhengyi's confidence from the last meeting to warm up the promotion.

Because he is too stable.

From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of follow-up cooperation.

Only those who are extremely confident in the chips in their hands can wait so slowly for the movie to be released.

Wait, after another milestone is inserted on that road, it's up for grabs.

"Didn't you read the script?"

In the earphones, Lu Zhengyi's voice was full of smiles, "I took them all, and I don't want to compare them."

"I can only say that the plot of the old corpse in the mountain village is a relatively simple and crude horror. It is a ghost that scares people and kills people. It has no humanity. The more real it is, the more terrifying it is."

"But mantra, there are many elements involved, and the shooting technique is also very special and more complicated. Its maliciousness is so great that the audience may not be able to accept it. Therefore, the level of this film, I estimate that only some people who are over 22 years old and under 40 years old, and have no history of heart disease or cerebrovascular disease... can watch it, which is the highest level of restriction."

Although the mouth said no comparison.

But the meaning of these words is already obvious.

What is the quality of a horror film?Isn't it scary?

The restriction level is the best explanation.

"I have read the script, but it is very monotonous."

Zhang Xueming replied, "I know it's disgusting, but is it so exaggerated? I'm looking forward to the film."

She could understand what the malice in Lu Zhengyi's mouth was.

No, the heroine cursed everyone who watched the video, including the audience in front of the screen.

But how Lu Zhengyi restored the text script to the picture is a very important process.

After all, special effects for fifty cents can't frighten anyone, and even make people laugh.

"Soon, after the review, I will take the positive film to your company to finalize the final announcement."

There was also expectation in Lu Zhengyi's voice.

……

……

The review of the positive film is much faster than expected.

Last time, it probably took so long because it happened to coincide with Chinese New Year.

Early in the morning of the second day after the notification of approval, when Lu Zhengyi went to collect the dragon badge, the attitude of the little brother who was still familiar with him was obviously different.

Be polite, still be so polite.

It's just that the eyes are not right, and before leaving, I asked whether this movie is real or not.

Is it real?
Lu Zhengyi was satisfied that a person in charge of reviewing films could ask such a question.

At the beginning, the old corpse in the mountain village was not frightened, and he boasted that the filming was well done.

After getting the release license, Lu Zhengyi didn't go home, but went straight to Guangying Media.

When the time came, Zhang Xueming was already waiting with several people.

The configuration is similar to last time, but there are some differences.

Everyone is holding a notebook in their hands. It seems that in addition to watching the movie later, they have to write something about their impressions.

Mostly, it's for the sake of controlling the praise in the comment area when it's released.

"The curtain is down, I'm waiting for you."

Zhang Xueming greeted Lu Zhengyi familiarly, and led them into the screening room.

It was the same field as last time.

However, when the broadcast was approaching, Lu Zhengyi briefly asked some questions of the audience, and after confirming that they did not have particularly serious religious superstitions, he sat down next to Zhang Xueming.

The group of people who were going to watch the movie were a little confused.

Although, for filming and directing, he certainly doesn't know as much as Lu Zhengyi.

but!

They are people who work in a media company, and they are connected to various projects in the entertainment industry.

As far as the number of viewings is concerned, they dare to say that they are not inferior to director Lu Zhengyi.

Now people are... afraid that they will be scared?
Is this treating them as ordinary audience?
Several people looked at each other and sat down helplessly.

In the projection hall, the lights gradually dimmed, and the sound of the outside world was completely isolated by the door.

In the quiet atmosphere, only the sound slowly came from the stereo.

But at this moment, Lu Zhengyi smelled a faint fragrance blowing in front of him along the cool air of the air conditioner.

It was faint, but he could still smell it.

Immediately afterwards, there was a warm feeling coming from beside him.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Lu Zhengyi has been so close to someone.

The projection hall inside the light and shadow is no different from the general 4K field in the theater.

There is an armrest between the seats.

He can easily detect any slightest body movement of Zhang Xueming.

In the darkness, Lu Zhengyi's eyes fell on her face from time to time, observing her expression with the dim light of the screen.

He cares more about other people's viewing experience than the finished film that he has watched several times.

In his impression, Zhang Xueming has always been a person with good psychological quality.

By observing her, you can probably tell whether the film is good or not.

At the beginning, Zhang Xueming's face was very calm.

But as time passed, she began to fold her arms and frown.

Especially when Li Ruonan killed the two priests of Zhoucang Temple, he sat up straight.

She is not afraid.

This is pissed off.

And Li Ruonan watched as Chen Letong's adoptive father went to explore the truth of the matter and died in order to save his daughter.

Disgust was evident on her face.

And when finally...

"I rely on!"

"What's wrong, hello!"

"Is it over? Is it over?"

Behind Lu Zhengyi, several viewers couldn't help but make a sound.

They covered their eyes one by one, for fear of seeing something.

"The quality of this person is really low."

On the other side, Zhang Xueming couldn't help but say something after watching the film.

Under the faintly bright fluorescent light, her face was a little pale.

Now she understands why the level of restriction is so high and people with religious beliefs are not recommended.

Obviously, Zhang Xueming himself has read the script, and also roughly knows the direction of the plot.

But in fact, when she went to watch the film made by Lu Zhengyi, she still couldn't help but fall into the world inside.

A world with ghosts and gods.

As Lu Zhengyi said on the phone earlier, this film and the old corpse in the mountain village are indeed two different horrors.

One is simple and rude,
Suddenly a ghost appeared there, or lying on your back, or the people around you turned into Chu Renmei, or a sharp voice suddenly sounded beside you...

Anyway, all the plots are just to scare you.

And the curse is a kind of terror that flows slowly.

With the No.1 perspective, a world view is built through a large number of "real" pictures, many spells, props, scenes, bugs that seem to be very common...

Step by step, you will have an illusion that the world inside is actually a real existence.

Then, man is cursed.

Zhang Xueming couldn't help clenching his fist again, and looked at Lu Zhengyi next to him with complicated eyes.

Compared with this film, the old corpse in the mountain village can indeed be regarded as the world of the underworld.

This is the real hell movie.

If the religious belief is more profound, I really feel that there are gods and ghosts in this world, and they may be frightened into cardiac arrest.

Of course, the most disgusting thing is the heroine—"Li Ruonan. '

but……

Are there ghosts and gods in this world?

She was silent.

The atmosphere in the screening hall is a little delicate.

Compared to the last time, when the film finished, a group of people stood up and kept advocating things like, "You are indeed the son of Director Lu", "The filming is really good", "This composition, this storyboard..." and so on. This time, they all sat quietly in their seats.

Even after listening to Zhang Xueming's complaints, he didn't talk to her.

They didn't get up until Lu Zhengyi got up.

"Now, I have a question."

Under the light, each of them looked ugly, especially Xiao Wang, whose face was livid, "I don't know how to write a good review."

"Same, can't write."

"What kind of praise is this kind of writing?"

"I really can't think of a place to boast."

Next to it, other people also turned their notebooks around, and there was a blank document.

As far as this kind of film is concerned, let alone praise, it is good if it does not curse people.

At the end of the film, he directly casts a curse on the audience, which really has a sense of horror breaking the dimensional wall.

Just now, that poor Li Ruonan, who was as beautiful as a little white flower, turned the camera around and started casting curses.

The few of them watched the film seriously, and those who wanted to write some impressions almost didn't jump up directly.

And looking at them, Lu Zhengyi originally thought of adding a "writer Li Ruonan" to the credits at the end of the film, but it also disappeared.

This time Yuanbi needs to leave more space.

Be nice to the audience.

"Just... just write it from the perspective of a horror movie."

Zhang Xueming rubbed the bridge of her nose. Now, she still has a disgusting feeling of being 'offended', "Props, costumes, real scenes... Let's go to these areas."

"By the way, please don't contain spoilers in the positive copy."

"Let's do this first, let's do this first, I'm a little tired..."

Then, she planned to leave the auditorium regardless.

The guest Lu Zhengyi was left behind.

When he walked out with the others, Zhang Xueming had already stood by the window, basking in the sun, dazed and not knowing what he was thinking.
