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

Chapter 146 [There are no ghosts in this world]

"I think if you are not a director, you are also a talent to come to our company's marketing team."

Zhang Xueming was silent for a long time before giving such an evaluation.

In the past, she thought that Lu Zhengyi might have chosen horror movies because it was related to those things.

After all, if a horror film can be made with some real supernatural, the effect must be excellent.

But now her mind has changed, and people may really love this line of work.

Zhang Xueming could understand the meaning of Lu Zhengyi's words.

For example, I have always behaved very upright and serious, as if no matter what happens, I can face it calmly.

When those spectators looked at the old corpse in the mountain village, their faces were pale with fright, and they dared not stay alone.

But when I watched the film directly in the internal projection hall of Light and Shadow, I didn't feel so scared, and I was even able to bargain with Lu Zhengyi.

But that is the mentality that I gradually acquired after working for a few years.

Once, I was also afraid.

Before she joined Light Media Media, of course, she often read various films in order to enrich her understanding of the industry market.

At that time, the films she was exposed to must also include horror films.

To be honest, of course I was scared, and very scared.

For a period of time, I was always talking about it, and I didn't dare to be alone in the dark. I always had to turn on the lights in the room in order to have enough sense of security.

But since leaving school and starting to work, one year, two years, three years...

When Zhang Xueming turned his head and looked back, the terror that was once terrified and unacceptable no longer had the same psychology as before.

Even sometimes when watching horror movies, I can spare energy to study the service, plot and lens processing of other crews, and analyze the selling points of this movie in the market.

impression.

Just like back then, people in the Tang Dynasty had an impression of domestic horror films.

Zhang Xueming also has an impression before watching every horror movie, which is false and illusory.

And as long as you watch the movie with this impression, with the self-control of an adult, even if you are frightened for a while, you can quickly recover, laugh and joke with others about this plot after the end, until... curse this movie.

In the past few days, she first watched the Wandering God video, then made unreasonable guesses based on the past of Lu Zhengyi's crew, and finally watched the finished film of the curse.

Zhang Xueming directly regained the fear he once had.

Not only do they have to be exposed to the sun for a period of time every day, but they have hardly left the light source.

It's as if as long as the surroundings are in darkness, there will be something hiding inside, looking at him furtively.

"Hell director."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueming couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"what?"

Sitting opposite, Lu Zhengyi looked like he didn't hear clearly.

"No, I just want to ask, how are you thinking about your next film?" Zhang Xueming changed the subject with a smile, "According to your past habits, when the old film is edited and waiting for review and release , You have already started preparing for a new play."

"Why this time, there is no news for so long."

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Since he met Lu Zhengyi, he has been working almost continuously.

Zhang Xueming appreciates this kind of enthusiasm and persistence for work.

Of course, so do I.

Mentioning this, Lu Zhengyi looked a little helpless, and replied:

"Mainly something happened. A special effects actor of our crew left. It is not easy to find another one."

"But it can't be said that if I can't find a suitable special effects actor, I will stop and stop shooting. After all, I also support a large group of people now, and it is impossible to rest."

"So I'm still preparing, and I have a goal."

Special effects actor?

Zhang Xueming captured the key points in his words. She had heard of stunt actors and special actors, but she had never heard of special effects actors.

What a new vocabulary.

Do you add special effects to yourself while acting?

and many more……

Zhang Xueming seemed to understand something.

"What target?"

She hesitated and replied, "Before you asked me to help you pay attention to those strange things."

"I've ordered some people to do it, but there's no word yet."

"Without them, or with their help, can the next filming effect of your crew be guaranteed?"

"Of course it can be guaranteed." Lu Zhengyi replied without hesitation, "She will not be the only special effects actor I hired, and probably... she will not be the only one who is sent away by me. For them, we may It is the end of this period of life, but for us, life has to go on."

send away?

Zhang Xueming was thoughtful.

"There are still some capable people in our crew."

As usual, Lu Zhengyi revealed some news to her, "Since one element is missing, let's make a movie without ghosts."

"According to the current situation, our film fan audience probably already understands our true and false routines. Why don't we emphasize again that there are no ghosts in this world."

"First of all, in terms of quality, I feel that this script is much better than the previous films I made. If you guys want to cooperate with me, you have to carefully consider the conditions of cooperation."

……

……

"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night after watching the double pupils, so I squatted down to tell the truth."

"The news about the True Immortal Temple is too shocking, is it a coincidence?"

"It's started. According to Lu Zhengyi's piss, this wave must be another propaganda."

"Blind guessing has a reversal."

"Is anyone organizing a group to go to Sichuan City?"

"The film is not bad, but the director is not good!"

……

April [-]nd, that is, the first day after the release of Double Eyes.

On Weibo, in the entry of 'True Immortal Temple', real-time refreshed comments popped up one by one, and were quickly submerged in the ocean of data.

It is almost impossible to find any useful analysis posts here.

In this kind of heat, everyone almost posts their own posts, and few people go to other people's posts to discuss.

Instead, some useful long posts and discussion posts gradually appeared on some other social platforms.

Rudou.com, Tieba...

three in the morning,

In a public housing somewhere in Hong Kong City,
A young man in pajamas was lying on the bed, editing the content.

[(Discussion thread) Is the content in the movie Shuangtong true or false? 】

The first floor: (Guide Lu's main body photo of the town building)
After posting the post, the young people plugged the mobile phone with only 2% battery into the charger and got ready to go to bed.

He plans to look at the reply to the post tomorrow.

After all, tomorrow is a working day, and he has to go to work.

After turning off the light, the young man yawned, turned over and covered himself with the quilt.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, various questions could not help but pop up in his mind.

"Has Xie Yali become a fairy?" '

'Is the True Immortal View true? '

'If there is such a thing, I'm still in a fart class. '

Thinking about it, the young man couldn't help turning over again, picked up the mobile phone that was still charging, and turned on the screen.

At this time, the post he just sent had already received two replies.

The second floor: "One thing to say, this is not the first time that Director Lu has engaged in this kind of operation. Before that, he kept saying that Huang Xuan's matter was true, but they reconciled in private. But they only sued, and they didn't really go up. Court, who knows if it is true or not."

Third floor: "According to Lu Zhengyi's past urine behavior, there is a high probability that it is propaganda."

The young man thought about it, and sent "really" to the two floors respectively, expressing his agreement with their statement, and prepared to sleep with his breath.

But as soon as he replied, there were a few more floors below.

The fourth floor: "Xuan fart, he will start the machine at the end of November, and it is reasonable to start preparations in October and September, but the True Immortal Temple was unearthed in November, so the time is not right, okay !"

The fifth floor: "Indeed, it can't be that the underground palace was prepared by Lu Zhengyi in advance, right?"

Sixth Floor: "Actually, it's not impossible."

Seventh floor: "...Maybe, maybe the upstairs is really a genius."

Eighth floor: "Please, you all believe in becoming immortals, why can't you believe that Director Lu can build an underground palace in advance?"

Jiulou: "If you ask me whether there are immortals in this world, I will definitely say no, because it is too absurd. But if you ask me to believe that there are immortals in this world, is Director Lu able to build one for a movie? If there is an underground palace, then I must believe that there are immortals in this world."

In the darkness, the faintly bright fluorescent screen shone on the young man's face, and he gradually began to think.

The tenth floor: "It makes sense. Has anyone formed a group to go to Sichuan together?"

He couldn't bear it again and built the first floor.

The reply from the tenth floor: "Crazy, that's an archaeological site, even if you pass by, you won't be able to get in."

Eleventh floor: "Get closer, and you will know sooner if you have any news."

The twelfth floor, the thirteenth floor... the first floor and the next, the young man's neck gradually became stiff.

Ding--

I don't know when the phone's battery is fully charged.

A look of joy appeared on the young man's face, he unplugged the charger, turned over and continued to reply.

He who was immersed in the world of double pupils didn't notice at all that the sky outside was gradually getting brighter.

……

[Rational Evaporation Post (contains a lot of spoilers)]

"The host has seen the mantra before, and also wrote an analysis post about the mantra."

"Like Xie Yali and her sister, the previous life may be the simple analysis of this person who practiced the Taoist Temple. I won't talk about it. Everyone who has seen the movie can more or less see it."

"According to Director Lu's past shooting habits, this film should contain a lot of dark lines, such as the protagonist Huang Huotu. Huotu means "stove", and Huang Huotu is actually the Stove Lord; Evil, there is a little bit of transmission, as an agent in charge of foreign affairs, it has a lot of meaning."

"From the point of view of the plot, the Taoist priest said that the person who became an immortal in Song Dynasty was called Huang Shang, his surname was Huang, and Huang Huotu was also Huang. There may be some connection between the two."

"I think that there is a high probability that Huang Huotu had status in his previous life, and he may have already been ranked in the immortal class, but because of the burden left by him (which is the method of becoming an immortal), the lower realm wants to see if Xie Yali can walk again. his way."

"Of course, it can also be analyzed that only one person can sit on the God of the Kitchen God, and Xie Yali is going to take this path to replace his god, so he is in the lower world."

"However, this brings up another question, that is whether Xie Yali has become a fairy."

"According to what the landlord learned from searching various Taoist materials in one night, I don't think there is any. Just like the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, Taoism also has a theory of responsibility, which roughly means to bear and be responsible, to accumulate goodness. A family must have surplus celebrations, and a household that does not accumulate good will surely have surplus disasters."

"Is Xie Yali's behavior good? Obviously, not."

"Although from the understanding of the plot, it is a good thing that she got rid of the five kinds of villains, but in reality? During this process, she committed far more evil than she accumulated goodness."

"And at the end of the plot, Xie Yali's confusion and confusion at the moment when he lost his mortal body is probably because he realized that he was on the wrong path."

"Generally speaking, I still like the movie Shuangtong very much. I am fascinated by the supernatural feeling, solid script, and realistic shooting techniques. In fact, when I watched this movie, I I think of the Seven Deadly Sins abroad, but when I say this film here, I don’t mean to compare it.”

"I found that Director Lu seems to like to choose these horror scripts that combine local culture with suspense. This kind of film is obviously more in line with our own perception than the seven deadly sins, just like the West's vampires, werewolves and the like It’s very scary, but when the films are put here, they become magical films, and they don’t have the ability to cause fear at all.”

"If other domestic directors can try to develop and create based on the route taken by Director Lu, perhaps our domestic horror film market may become active again."

"As for whether it is true or not, if we can see it, it must be false. This is a fictional movie, otherwise we would not be able to see it. After staying up all night, I I only wrote these things, and there may be some additions in the future, and I hope you can leave your own thoughts..."

……

In addition to the kind of building-building discussion posts, there are also some big Vs posting long posts for analysis.

As the saying goes, the best of three cobblers is Zhuge Liang, and the enthusiastic discussions among netizens have yielded a lot of useful content.

Even before the explanation video originally recorded by Guanshan Taoist was released, some netizens who were good at exploring began to explain the ending with the theory of bearing.

The search function of the Internet is still very developed.

For example, in the early years, if a person needed to know something, he had to go to a bookstore to buy related books. It was very inconvenient to search here and there.

Now, people only need to type relevant keywords on search engines to understand part of the content.

As long as you are willing to search, you can basically find the answer.

"Don't they all need to sleep? We've been discussing all night."

After staying in Guangying Media all night, Lu Zhengyi stretched his waist and stood up.

It's a pity that he didn't see Zhang Xueming and his team galloping on the Internet.

Because in one night, the discussion on double pupils on the Internet did not come down at all, and even early in the morning, more people joined the discussion.

In this case, there is no need for light and shadow people to act as pushers to maintain the heat.

They just need to observe these speeches and find out which direction the wind is blowing.

"Your little director Lu personally planned the marketing, which is still amazing."

Zhang Xueming was also very tired, leaning on the office chair, twisting her neck, "It's not that I haven't seen this kind of projects discussed all night before, but most of them are zombies, sailors, and yin soldiers. A situation that suppresses a large number of bad reviews."

"Looking at it one night like you, it feels like it's all real people discussing it. It's rare."

"Basically it's not a game like Night of Champions. It's just that the comics and novels that have been serialized for many years have suddenly ended and there has been a staged breakthrough. A horror movie like this, I couldn't even imagine it a year ago. Think about it and come to work with us. Director Lu, it's no problem for you to take the vice president's seat directly."

She closed her eyes and looked back, making a small joke.

Don't dare to think about it, really don't dare to think about it.

It's as if a particularly unpopular major that nobody pays attention to or even dislikes encounters "room temperature superconductivity", and large-scale construction is started all over the world overnight, and the unpopular major directly jumps into popularity.

Shuang Tong So far, they haven't made any big predictions yet.

At most, it was just warming up with Huang Xuan. In other aspects, the real marketing has not yet started. As a result, the degree of discussion is so high, almost spontaneously discussed by netizens.

This enthusiasm has been directed at it again and again. It seems that the horror film market has really been created and revitalized by Lu Zhengyi.

"Want to go down for breakfast?"

Lu Zhengyi stretched his waist, exercised his muscles and bones, turned around and asked, "I have to go back quickly after eating, Ayong is still waiting at home for me to bring food."

"Yes, breakfast."

Zhang Xueming seemed to have remembered something, and sat up, "Someone in our company group has already ordered food, and it may be almost here."

"I've already ordered for you, all meat dishes."

"When you leave later, take it with you."

Then, she paused, "You have eaten with me so many times, I still know what you like to eat."

"But I don't know much about your Yong. You may have to buy something for him yourself."

Lu Zhengyi laughed, "Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"Thank you, I have to hurry up and think about how to curry favor with you." Zhang Xueming waved his hand, "But you must show me your new script first. It's not the first time we've cooperated. We can talk."

"And what you told me before, regarding the overseas market, as far as the current situation is concerned, the drama Shuangtong still has a good chance."

"I will find an opportunity to push it at the company's general meeting."

Lu Zhengyi did not expect that she would take the initiative to mention this matter, and raised her palm in gratitude.

Seeing someone working all night, he didn't bother him any more.

After buying breakfast for Ah Yong, when he got home, Lu Zhengyi checked the time and called Zhang Yu.

"Old Zhang, how is your body?"

Lu Zhengyi asked softly.

Zhang Yu is not young in the first place, and also has various problems due to various entertainments.

The last time I went up the mountain to film in a Taoist temple, it was not very good.

Later, because he went to Jiangcheng to take care of Liang Le, he supported himself and came over to supervise the editing work, and finally fell ill before the movie was released.

Otherwise, as the assistant director, Zhang Yu would definitely be there too.

"Cough...it's okay, I drank a few sticks according to Taoist Guanshan's prescription, and it's much better."

Zhang Yu's voice was not as full of energy as before. This man was sick, so it was inevitable that he would hold his throat when speaking.

"...The next new play, are you still willing to participate?"

Lu Zhengyi asked hesitantly.

If you don't feel well, you must give someone a holiday.

Of course, the choice lies with Lao Zhang.

"A new play?"

Zhang Yu's voice was full of emotion, "Director Lu, you really can't rest for a moment."

"Can you give me some time? About... a few days."

"I want to participate, but I may not be able to participate."

His tone was a bit complicated.

As a person who has worked in this industry for most of his life, he hopes that he can leave something behind and make some good works.

Before, I didn't meet Lu Zhengyi.

Even if he thought about it, he could only think about it, and he was powerless.

Dangdang executive director, go with the flow.

But now that he meets Lu Zhengyi, he can really shoot some good things, and this person can't do it anymore. It's really unpredictable.

"can."

Lu Zhengyi replied without hesitation, "A week, or... two weeks."

"Actually, it's not in a hurry. Shuangtong's movie is also in theaters. In fact, I still have something to do."

"Take a good rest. There are still many people in the crew who wish to take a break, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm just asking you."

He is definitely different from normal people.

He can work continuously without rest, but the rest of the crew can't.

Especially Zhang Yu, after they finished filming, the others could take a break while editing.

Lao Zhang hardly had much rest time.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Zhengyi hung up the phone.

"Meow?"

Next to him, Xiao Zhongyong jumped on top of him and yelled.

"It's okay, nothing will happen."

Lu Zhengyi followed his hair, "The Taoist priest gave him his pulse. Although there are many problems, he will not leave suddenly."

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong called out again.

"Quiet? A little bit."

Lu Zhengyi raised his head and looked at the slightly quiet home.

Zhang Yu fell ill and returned to his hometown.

At this time in the past, he should have borrowed here to discuss the new script with himself.

It is impossible for Xu Feng to live here all the time. Now that the editing work is over, he has his own home here in Beidu.

Beam...

"I'm not used to being quiet all of a sudden." Lu Zhengyi rubbed Xiao Zhongyong's cat head in a trance, "Ayong, I'm treated so well here, with food and lodging included, and you don't have to work. Just go away."

"Meow!"

Xiao Zhongyong called out resolutely, as if to promise something.

"If you have a conscience, you won't just leave without caring about everything."

Lu Zhengyi nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go, let's write the script."
