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

Chapter 144 [Only one shot]

After the premiere, some theater staff rushed into the venue.

While moving the temporary stage to the front of the screen, they prepared some welcome bouquets, and then erected guardrails and placed some chairs in an empty area in front of them, which was to set up the camera after the media reporters entered the venue The place.

Although the movie is over, after a short break, the director of the movie will bring the main creative team to the scene to interact with the audience.

In the auditorium, most of the audience never got up, but a few of them left in a hurry.

The reason is not that he left early because he did not want to participate in the next interaction.

Instead, take advantage of this waiting time to release the water.

A movie lasts about two hours, and most people will come in with milk tea or drinks.

And if the movie is exciting enough, most people will choose to hold back until the end of the movie.

Only those movies that are not exciting enough will often have people coming in and out.

"Husband, this movie directed by Lu Zhengyi doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as you said. Except for the bloody part in the middle, it's actually okay and pretty good."

"...That's why you didn't see the essence."

"You are so timid, don't you feel scared watching this kind of film?"

"No, his film, I, you..."

"What, you can't speak? Last time I saw you scared like that, but this time you dragged me to watch it. I thought it was some kind of super-limited horror movie. I didn't expect it to be just this? Husband, how dare you younger than me."

"you……"

"But it's still good. This movie feels mysterious, and it's well-founded."

In the waiting auditorium, there were many and some people whispering about the content of the film.

A horror movie gives people a sense of sight that is not scary, of course it is a bad review.

It is more like a crime film, but with some religious and fantasy elements added.

But if you put aside the genre of the film, the quality of this film is still great.

"This is the consistent style of Lu Zhengyi's films, pursuing realism."

"Whether it's the scene, props, or the makeup of the actors, all aspects can create a sense of reality for the audience, a bit like a documentary style, giving people a feeling that there is such a thing happening in another world. .”

"Actually, when the old corpse in the mountain village asked me to cooperate, I tried to analyze the screenplay and restore the script. But the things written in words... the feeling is very ordinary, it is completely an ordinary grieving ghost. The story, at most, is that the ghost wins at the end, which is a little bit selling."

"So judging from the script, it was really unexpected that the film would be a hit. At that time, I felt that compared with the quality of the script itself, the director, actors, photography... the main creative team The weight of strength is higher, which is unbelievable."

"It's similar to many movies adapted from novels. After they were filmed, they were scolded by netizens for ruining the original work. But this is the opposite for Lu Zhengyi's team. The content they produced is better than the script."

"Since then, I've been chasing their videos, like a curse..."

And at the end of the auditorium, there is a small group of people who are different from other audiences, they are talking in low voices.

In terms of speech, they are not like ordinary audiences. They said a few words after watching the movie, such as 'good-looking', 'not good-looking', 'not bad'... and so on, some simple words.

They were more like working, waiting and discussing.

"Indeed, the shots are very real, and they have some shots and special effects. I have no idea how they are done. The more they look at it, the more frightening they are. Their photographers and special effects team should be very good."

"It's like the scene where Huang Huotu's daughter was pointed at by a gun, and the bullet bounced off after the shot was fired. They even made slow motion on purpose."

"According to the situation, it should be blank ammunition, but blank ammunition is very dangerous at such a close range. How did they do it? Just look at it once, I can't see the trace of special effects .”

"And I have a friend who is a professional photographer. The post that was the most searched on the old corpse in the mountain village was sent by his girlfriend, and he did the analysis of the slideshow. He was a little nervous at that time. Yes, I always suspect that there are ghosts in this world."

"Although this Double Eye is not as memorable as Director Lu's previous two works in terms of plot, it is more a problem with the script. In terms of the quality of creation, he and his team are still as serious as ever."

"Judging from this film, even if Lu Zhengyi does not follow the path of horror films, it is feasible to make other types of films. He may even do better and earn more. I really don't know why To choose this type..."

A small group of people sitting in the corner of the last row are professional film critics.

They discussed the style and quality of the film in low voices, and recorded something from time to time.

Their speech is more professional than that of ordinary audiences, from storyboarding, mirroring, obedience, and script...

These people just eat this bowl of food, watch some popular movies as soon as they are released, and then write copywriting, make videos, and chat about the quality of the movies... These are what they earn traffic, and then monetize the traffic to make money method.

In the case of no interest involved, their vision is still quite picky.

Like before, when the old corpse in the mountain village was doing publicity and promotion, Lu Zhengyi also contacted one or two of them to discuss cooperation through the relationship chain of light and shadow.

At that time, the price was not low, and I wanted to use their videos and film reviews to do a promotion, so as to gain more exposure and make the box office look better.

At that time, they went to the theater to watch the film specifically to promote the old corpse in the mountain village.

The movie tickets were reimbursed by others.

But now it's the other way around, they took the initiative to watch Lu Zhengyi's film.

Take the initiative to write film reviews, make videos to promote others, and by the way, to catch people's popularity and earn some traffic money.

"But now the wind on the Internet is all about Kwalu's justice. We want to write that his new film is not scary, which seems a bit inappropriate."

One of the film critics glanced around, lowered his voice and said to several colleagues nearby, "We have to write in the direction of the wind so that we can have traffic and make money."

Although, generally speaking, it should be obvious that this movie does not go well with horror genres, and is more like a crime-based fantasy or magical theme.

But maybe there are too many people praising it, everyone’s herd mentality and impression points, it’s really scary, doesn’t it?
After all, the quality is there, and the shots are indeed very real.

At that time, those who say they are not scary will have to be called 'jealous', 'hard-spoken', 'received money...' and other words.

Being scolded is a trivial matter, but not making money is a major matter.

The colleague next to him also replied in a low voice, "The current wind direction is blowing him, and it may not be certain in the future. Maybe we write truthfully now, and if something happens to him in the future, we will explode? At that time, we will be sober in the world and have a clear conscience. Critics."

"Otherwise, let's make a compromise, I suggest."

Someone else suggested, "Let's not praise the horror of this movie like his movie, let's write about the quality, so as not to offend people."

"Let's just write that Director Lu and his team were responsible as always, they put in effort to find the live-action shooting, and spent a lot of money to find the special effects."

"By the way, I would like to mention at the end that this film is not as scary as the previous two. Let's not say that this film is not scary, but let's compare it with his previous films. No."

When the others heard it, they all felt reasonable.

It's a good compromise, so that people will not be offended and money will be made.

Even if the wind direction changes by then, they still have something to say.

"Then let's learn more about the creation process."

"Let's not go into the details of the plot, but learn more about the creation of the script, the tidbits of the filming and so on."

"Like this Temple of Immortals, I think this scene is very real. Where was it shot?"

They discussed in low voices.

"I'm sorry, I made all fans and audience friends wait for 10 minutes. The preparation time in our theater is a bit longer."

At this moment, a female voice interrupted their discussion.

The time for audiences to rest after watching movies is over.

In the cinema hall, the stage has already been set up, and some media reporters have already set up their shooting positions.

As the female voice sounded through the microphone, the interactive session officially began.

A woman who looked like a host hurried out from the entrance, and walked towards the stage in front of the screen as she said, "Not much to say, let's let today's protagonists enter the stage first..."

And as her voice fell, Lu Zhengyi walked into the theater first.

The auditorium, which was still a little noisy, suddenly fell silent for a while.

They all stared at the tall and burly man who didn't look like an artist at all, stepping onto the stage.

Later, Chang Zhengwei, Jason, Li Zhenxi, Yu Wenxiu... and others also appeared.

However, some of them walked directly towards the empty auditorium in the front row, such as Ajie, Xiaowei, Bai Wei and other behind-the-scenes players, they came to participate in the final group photo session.

As for Zhang Yu, he was not among them and was not present today.

"Hi everyone, I'm Chang Zhengwei, and I play the role of Huang Huotu in the movie Shuangtong."

"I'm Jason, and I play Agent Kevin in Double Eyes."

"I'm Li Zhenxi..."

After taking the stage, several actors in front of the screen introduced themselves first.

But the hostess who came on stage at the very beginning retreated to one side of the stage, unexpectedly...not the host.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lu Zhengyi, the director of the Shuangtong crew."

After the introduction of the actors in front of the screen, finally it was Lu Zhengyi who was the director.

Standing in the center of the stage, he directly raised the microphone, calmly looked at the audience below, and said softly, "Originally, the theater has arranged for us a very beautiful lady to host this event today."

"However, my team and I feel that today, as a creative team, we have an offline interaction with the audience watching our works. There is no need to make it too procedural, so we will keep it simple."

"We put aside the process directly, and treat it as a simple chat between friends."

"The time given to us by the theater is one hour. I think there are 57 audiences in one hour. Everyone stands up and asks a question, and it is enough to express a feeling."

"Of course, friends who don't want to be on camera and are shy can skip it directly. Let's do it as simple as possible. Of course, we may not be able to answer some questions."

These words directly made the audience in the auditorium a little dazed.

And below the stage, the media reporters who are only in charge of recording today and not in charge of asking questions can't help but have some surprises on their faces.

For this kind of premiere, generally speaking, internal personnel will be arranged in advance to mix into the auditorium, and then the interactive audience will be "selected" according to the process, and then questions will be asked and answered according to the pre-determined script.

Ke Lu Zhengyi did this...

Isn't he afraid that some viewers will make trouble and say bad things at the premiere?

Is there no one to persuade him?
At the entrance of the movie hall, Zhang Xueming stood beside the person in charge of the movie hall, watching this scene with a helpless expression on his face.

"Then invite the first friend in the second row now."

Lu Zhengyi cast his eyes on the auditorium, because the first row was reserved for Ajie and the others, so the audience started from the second row.

But obviously, the first audience member was a shy girl, a little girl.

She covered her face and waved her hands. Obviously, she had no intention of asking or answering questions.

"Well, it seems that our first friend is a bit shy, so let's be next." Lu Zhengyi looked beside her, "May I ask this friend, after watching this film shot by our crew, do you have any questions?" Don't you have any feelings?"

These two should know each other.

But the second audience member was more courageous. After he looked over, he stood up, obviously she had a problem.

After the staff of the cinema hall handed over the microphone, the little girl hurriedly asked, "Very good, very good, the filming was very interesting."

"...Then do you have any questions you want to ask us?"

Lu Zhengyi was not surprised to get this answer.

Well done, pretty good, not too bad... There is almost a high probability that you will get these answers.

But rather than answering questions, the girl obviously wanted to ask questions.

"I just want to ask Mr. Statham, why did you choose to make a horror movie?"

Well, another expected question.

Lu Zhengyi turned his attention to Jason at the right time.

People don't seem to come here for movies, but for people.

But it also makes the interaction more real.

"Because I was invited by the crew and watched some of Director Lu's past films, I decided to come to Tang and cooperate with him."

Jason held the microphone and gave a very official answer.

"That……"

The little girl still wanted to ask, but before she could say it, Lu Zhengyi interrupted apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone understood just now, time is limited."

"So on our side, we can only give one question and one answer for the time being."

"If there is more time after the lap is over, then we can ask or answer questions by drawing."

The implication is that it's time for a replacement.

Although the little girl wanted to ask, but there were so many people waiting, she didn't forcefully hold the microphone, but handed it to the next person.

"Hello, Director Lu."

The next person was a boy, and he also gave a similar answer. The filming was quite good, and he couldn't go to the bathroom after watching it for a long time.

But it seems that, rather than answering, he also has questions.

"Director Lu, I intend to ask you this question. You have made three films, and I have watched three of your films."

"And now, I have noticed that you seem to be a nostalgic person, and you often cooperate with some old partners."

"Like Teacher Chang Zhengwei, Teacher Zhang Yuming, and Teacher Yu Wenxiu, then I want to ask, Teacher Yu Li, is her performance in the drama relatively average, because it seems that you have not cooperated with her since then."

This one is for Yu Li.

Lu Zhengyi picked up the microphone helplessly, "In this regard, in fact, if you pay more attention to Lily's situation, you can understand."

"She is in a hurry on the schedule. As far as I know, she still has a web drama to be broadcast and some resources to contact her, so...in fact, we did not continue to cooperate, but did not have a suitable opportunity .”

"Sometimes, my side is about to shoot, she just started, and my side is over, and her side is idle again, which is very unfortunate."

Having said that, he paused, "Of course, if there is a suitable one, I really want to continue working with Lily."

"After all, she is the heroine of my first film, and I am the director of her first big screen play. Our previous cooperation was quite smooth."

There must be such a problem.

After all, he has always maintained cooperation with the rest of the crew of the old corpse in the mountain village, but Yu Li was the only one who was excluded.

Some people will definitely speculate whether they have any conflicts.

Such a formal reply made the boy feel relieved.

And then, the next audience skipped, not everyone wanted to stand up and show their faces.

After jumping several times in the audience, someone stood up, but his question made Lu Zhengyi's expression freeze.

At the same time, it also made the rest of the crew pause.

"I don't have any thoughts on Director Lu's new film. I think it's well shot and interesting to watch, although it's not as scary as before."

After the audience stood up, they first answered their thoughts.

Then he asked again, "Actually, I have no problem at all."

"But after hearing that friend ask Teacher Yu Li's question just now, I have a problem now."

"I want to ask Director Lu, since you have been cooperating with some actors and teachers from the last play, is Teacher Chu also among them?"

Chu people are beautiful.

Many people present trembled.

But at the same time, he cast his curious eyes on Lu Zhengyi on the stage.

"……exist."

Lu Zhengyi held the microphone and nodded hesitantly.

This answer gave goosebumps to many of the audience present.

"exist?"

And the boy who asked the question was the same, with a puzzled face, "That's it?"

"It's inconvenient for me to disclose this, but in fact, she is also in the movie Shuangtong." Lu Zhengyi took the microphone and replied truthfully, "One shot, she only has one shot in the movie Shuangtong, you can go to looking around."

It makes many viewers a little regretful to be so close.

Although it only appeared among the old corpses in the mountain village, the female ghost Chu Renmei left the deepest impression on people.

The whole film can make people creepy, all because of the existence of this character.

But soon, with the audience's questions and answers one after another, the others gradually let go, and they no longer just said some polite scene words.

Some 'real' problems started to arise.

such as……

"Director Lu, actually, I feel that your new film doesn't seem to be considered a horror film."

After an audience member asked such a question, the scene became a little stiff.
