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

Chapter 154 [Return of the old version] (asking for a monthly ticket for ordering... all kinds of requests~)

"Well, what do you think of our crew these days?"

In a temporary lounge of the abandoned factory, Lu Zhengyi sat casually on a wooden box containing props, lit a cigarette, and looked at Wang Xiaoxu who entered the room through the door.

As the filming slowly got on track, there were more and more people on the set.

Some supporting roles, temporary extras, handymen... slowly came to the scene, such as the glasses boy who was in charge of the liaison officer of the chores department in the plot, and the takeaway girl.

They are all in the real scene of the abandoned factory, with cameras and scenes.

But because of this, some people in the crew can no longer discuss things other than the "first commandment" so blatantly. If Lu Zhengyi wants to chat with Wang Xiaoxu alone, he also needs to find a quiet place.

As mentioned in the plot, the employees of Mei Limao's crew must also strictly abide by the "first commandment". There are no ghosts in this world.

"It's very complicated. I feel that the actor's filming is a little different from what I imagined."

Wang Xiaoxu thought for a while, and then replied, "I thought the shooting on the set would be very fun."

"I have also seen some TV dramas and movies before. It is probably a group of photographers shooting around several characters and a scene, but across the screen, I feel embarrassed and ashamed for them."

"Especially in movies about love and fairy tales, a few people shouted, why don't you love me, imaginary art, charm, god, I want you today..."

As he was talking, he couldn't go on, covering his face and feeling like a fool.

Wang Xiaoxu felt ashamed to say such lines in front of Director Lu alone.

Not to mention, those actors were in public.

When Wang Xiaoxu watched the video at the time, he felt somewhat that he had exhausted all his courage to open the video, and that he could not finish watching the video, nor could he finish watching it at all.

"It's embarrassing for others... Hey, it means you have a thin skin." Lu Zhengyi could understand what he meant, but he was a little helpless, "But acting is like this, so don't outsiders often say that actors are crazy. The better, the crazier people are on set."

"But Mr. Chang and the others acted very well, and I didn't feel embarrassed." Wang Xiaoxu hesitated, "Even if I watched from the side, I didn't feel ashamed, on the contrary, there was a feeling of... looking at another world. , through the lens."

He gave the same opinion as Taoist Guanshan before.

Standing behind the camera, he seems to be looking at another world through the dividing line drawn by the camera and lights in this world.

"wrong."

But soon, he shook his head again, "It should be said that it is the influence of the atmosphere."

"My impression of the set is all from watching the tidbits of those film and television dramas. They are all laughing and laughing when they act, and occasionally laugh, and the staff and director next to them also laugh."

"But our crew is different. Everyone is very serious. There are almost no laughing moments. They are very serious. I am a little afraid that I will not do well and will hinder the team."

Lu Zhengyi was even more helpless, "Please, how can you laugh when you act in a horror movie."

Don't joke, it would be nice if you don't run away in fright.

Wang Xiaoxu pondered for a moment, "I don't know how to describe it, but probably... our atmosphere is a bit heavier."

Situations such as laughing scenes and NG many times seem to be very random things in those behind-the-scenes videos.

It gives people a feeling that even if they make a mistake, they will not be scolded.

Those actors, staff, and directors don't seem to have any pressure.

In that case, Wang Xiaoxu was rather embarrassed to watch as an audience.

Especially those actors who said solemnly to the heroine in the camera, "Damn woman, the consequences of irritating me are not something you can bear." After finishing speaking, people themselves laughed.

It's hard for him not to feel ashamed across the screen.

But, if you're on the set and you see the actors acting like this while everyone else is laughing, it's not embarrassment, it's joy.

A relaxed working atmosphere is indeed better for professionals.

But Wang Xiaoxu's atmosphere on the set these days is completely different from what he expected.

As a 'testing' person, I watched everyone filming. As soon as the recorder opened the mirror, the atmosphere of the whole scene was very serious and heavy.

Everyone watched the story in that corner of the "small world" quietly, and adjusted the camera position, lens, and lighting according to Lu Zhengyi's instructions...

Even Huang Yaozu, played by Mr. Chang, dances with a small inflatable dinosaur in the camera.

The others also watched this scene calmly, didn't say they thought it was funny, and then made a fuss.

For a while, Wang Xiaoxu didn't know whether it was the actors who said the shameful lines with a stronger sense of faith, or Teacher Chang and their acting skills were more outstanding.

I don't even know which of these two atmospheres is better.

"It can only be said that the choice is different." Lu Zhengyi breathed out smoke, "Filming is also a job. It's good to relax, be happy and earn the salary. Anyway, after the filming, most of them will not Go see your own film."

"But Mr. Chang, they are different, or we are different. We like to be serious when we are working. After the end, we watch the audience say 'good acting', 'good filming', 'scared to death' Comments like ', go happy and rejoice."

"Compared with the salary, what we prefer is the audience's feedback after seeing the film."

Having said that, he paused, "It's like in a company there will be colleagues who like to fish, and can easily get a guaranteed salary. But there are also people who want to make progress and get project bonuses. Choose."

"The point is, you have to find a circle that suits you. If a person who wants to improve enters an office full of monsters, he will only have endless work. On the contrary, a person who wants to dawdle enters A highly motivated team is destined to be eliminated."

"So do you think, can you accept our working atmosphere?"

For working in such a seemingly 'professional' and 'serious' team, Wang Xiaoxu, who was not very confident at first, was stunned, "Yes!"

Inexplicably, he thought of himself.

In the company while alive, everyone will throw the work to themselves for the purpose of accumulating experience.

Although, Wang Xiaoxu didn't resent them, because it was indeed his own fault.

I have never rejected them, so that later, they are used to throwing things to themselves.

But hate this emotion, there will still be.

But now, Wang Xiaoxu suddenly began to think about whether he had chosen the wrong team.

It's like the crew who came into contact with them in the past few days, he has never seen the work of shirking work.

What's more, they took the initiative to take on jobs, as if this was not a film crew, but a sales department for sales of buildings and cars, and everyone was vying for performance.

"This is a contract."

Lu Zhengyi was very satisfied with his answer.

Open a document on the phone and put it on the table for him to read.

"This is the contract of ordinary employees, such as Teacher Chang, Teacher Zhang or Ajie outside, they all signed this contract."

"I haven't drawn up the contract for a special employee like you, but it's probably similar to this. If the salary is paid, I will regularly transfer it to the bank card of the person you designate."

"And your main job is to use your identity as a ghost to cooperate with the crew in acting."

As he said that, he hesitated a little, "Like your senior, she is more powerful. Not only can she freely switch between reality and reality, but she can also change faces and substitutes, which adds a lot of realism to our films."

"At present, you may have a relatively short time to become a ghost. From my personal experience, it takes time."

Spend the time of the first robbery.

Lu Zhengyi didn't speak the last sentence.

It's like when he explained the practice to Xu Feng and the others, he couldn't explain it too clearly.

Some things are too clear, but it will affect the process of responding to the catastrophe.

And Wang Xiaoxu looked at the content of the contract silently, and roughly understood why the other people outside worked so hard.

In fact, in addition to really liking, there should be bonuses.

"Dong dong dong."

And just as Wang Xiaoxu was looking at the contract, there was a knock on the door.

"Director Lu, Lily is here."

Then, Zhang Yuming held a bunch of barbecue meat, and while eating, he poked his head into the room and looked around.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing.

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Okay, I see."

He is clear about Yu Li being able to arrive at the crew today.

"Is it the... reporter sister in the old corpse in the mountain village?"

Wang Xiaoxu looked away from the phone and asked quickly.

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Well, there is a chance for Yu Li and us to cooperate in this drama."

But then, his gaze was a little strange, "What? Are you her fan?"

Before, when Wang Xiaoxu met other actors, he was not so excited.

"It's...it's okay."

Wang Xiaoxu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Teacher Yu is still, quite pretty."

"When I saw the movie for the first time, she made a deep impression on me."

"Later, it was a pity that she was not included in your curse. Besides, I also followed her new online drama."

He stammered.

This... is this suddenly going to work with an idol?
"Let's go, let's meet your idol together."

Lu Zhengyi stood up from the wooden box with a smile, and threw the stubbed cigarette butt in the trash can.

And behind, Wang Xiaoxu hurriedly followed.

He is just an ordinary person.

Compared with Liang Meijuan, who has seen the big world and done big things before joining the crew, he is a very ordinary migrant worker.

It's just that the fate is good, and it becomes a ghost.

One person, one ghost, one behind the other, walked outside.

However, as soon as the door of the lounge was opened, a strong smell of barbecue entered Lu Zhengyi's nose.

He walked over helplessly, and then saw Yu Li, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, happily following other people to reminisce about the past, and by the way, meet and bribe new colleagues.

Of course, she brought the barbecue.

In addition to the barbecue, Yu Li was accompanied by two people, a man and a woman, who looked like assistants.

"Lu, Director Lu!"

As soon as Lu Zhengyi approached, Yu Li, who was still very lively, stood there like a mouse seeing a cat, as obedient as a little quail.

She is afraid of herself.

According to Zhang Yuming, she felt very guilty for letting herself down.

Although Lu Zhengyi doesn't quite understand why she thinks this way, it is probably a feeling that in junior high school, she was still at the top of her class and was a top student who was valued by the teacher, but after a few years, she failed in her studies and failed the college entrance examination. .

I dare not go back to my old alma mater at all, to see the teacher who once valued me.

But in fact, even if we met, the teacher would feel it was a pity at most. After all, there are so many students in each class, and there are also many students who are valued.

When Lu Zhengyi calmly looked at the two people beside her, Yu Li quickly explained, "The two of them just helped me carry my luggage, brought some food by the way, and left soon, Director Lu, we Remember the rules."

As she said that, she quickly took out her mobile phone and planned to hand it in.

People like Ajie and Bai Wei, who have come from old corpses in the mountain village to the present, couldn't help laughing.

However, some of the supporting roles and staff members who have just come to this film are unknown.

"You don't need to pay, that's the old rules."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "But the rules for assistants are the same, redundant people cannot be present."

In the past, it was not easy for Liang Meijuan and Liang Meijuan to control the entire crew. The purpose of handing in the mobile phone was to avoid leaks during the filming process.

But later, after signing a contract with the big guys and forming a relatively formal troupe-style crew, this rule gradually disappeared.

After all, like now, there are about [-] people on a set, and half of them are their own, and they are all managers, such as the photography team, props team...

In this case, Lu Zhengyi's control over the crew is actually quite high.

Like last time, the whistleblower named Huang Xuan didn't understand anything in the crew, and the sneak shots were all very ordinary scenes, so she could only rely on her writing skills to write small essays and make up random things. .

"Eh?"

Yu Li raised her head in a daze, a little confused.

"Okay, everyone has almost rested, and we have to eat."

Lu Zhengyi clapped his palms, "It's time to prepare for the afternoon shot."

After speaking, he looked at Yu Li again, "Lily, then you should watch from the side first, and read more scripts."

"It just so happens that you don't have a camera in this scene, so just think about your character."

Yu Li hesitated and nodded.

"it is good."

She whispered back.

Lu Zhengyi glanced at the back, and Wang Xiaoxu, who was a little nervous and didn't dare to look at Yu Li, shook his head helplessly and walked towards the monitor.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xiaoxu followed, instead of staying beside Yu Li.

Camera locations, props, makeup...

Soon, the two assistants brought by Yu Li left.

After the rest of the crew finished eating the barbecue, they also started to get busy.

Because the actor who played the role of the liaison officer has also arrived, the scene to be shot now is the scene where Li Guoqiang has just entered the miscellaneous department.

"Crack."

With Bai Wei taking the slate in front of the camera.

In the camera, Zhang Yuming, who was still joking, immediately entered the state, his face became gloomy, and his brows were also furrowed.

The miscellaneous department is not in the detective bureau, but is set up separately in an abandoned factory, which is a bit like a small outsourcing department.

So Li Guoqiang's transfer here is actually a demotion.

"Is Xiao Ming in such a good condition now?"

Yu Li didn't study the script, but put her eyes on the corner where she was shooting.

Because the surroundings were quiet, her voice was not loud, as if she was muttering to herself.

"Please, I am the newly transferred Detective Li Guoqiang."

Li Guoqiang stood at the door of the sundries department, talking to the liaison officer who was stacking blocks in the distance.

However, the liaison who was seriously stacking the blocks did not respond to him.

"I'm Detective Li Guoqiang, newly transferred."

He couldn't help repeating it again, this time with obvious impatience in his tone.

This expressiveness is very clear and intuitive.

Under these words, the liaison officer who piled up the building blocks finally responded, also with a little impatience, but instead of speaking, he pointed his finger at the chair in the distance.

Li Guoqiang followed his fingers, walked to a chair beside him and sat down.

On the table, there was a row of cups neatly placed.

"Where is the chief?"

After Li Guoqiang sat down, he glanced at the time and couldn't help asking the liaison officer.

But instead of responding, the liaison man piled up blocks...

"Crack."

But at this moment, Lu Zhengyi's voice sounded clearly from everyone's headsets.

And Bai Wei also knocked on the slate at the right time.

"Ah? Why is it stuck?"

Yu Li, who was watching vigorously, looked at this scene blankly.

Just now, is there something wrong?

"Ahui, when you were stacking blocks, you were not focused enough." Lu Zhengyi walked out from behind the monitor and explained calmly, "In this shot, you don't need to pay attention to others, your eyes just need to watch Blocks ahead, build blocks."

"You have to match the scene, with the leaky roof, the iron bucket filled with water, and the clock on the wall, so that the audience can feel Li Guoqiang's eagerness."

"And feel the collapse of the Miscellaneous Department."

'Actually, it's okay. '

Beside, Yu Li, who had been watching, couldn't help talking in her heart.

From her point of view, whether it was Zhang Yuming or this Ah Hui just now, both of them actually performed well.

Even if there are some small flaws, they are still the kind of small flaws that can be ignored.

Ah Hui, who was wearing glasses, quickly stood up, "Got it, Director Lu, I, I'm thinking about it."

"Okay, then you think about it."

Lu Zhengyi's tone was always calm, but it gave off an inexplicable pressure.

On the side, the props team has already started to clean up the water in the bucket, restore the clock on the wall, restore the chair, the water on the table, and the building blocks...all of them.

Similarly, the camera position that was moved just now due to shooting also returned to the original position.

It took less than a few minutes for Lu Zhengyi to stop the filming until something went wrong.

However, it took half an hour to restore all the props and camera positions.

'very scary……'

Yu Li sat beside her as a person who had no part in the show for the time being, and she could feel that a big mountain was pressing down from her shoulders little by little.

She vaguely remembered what kind of crew Lu Zhengyi's crew was.

In addition to having real ghosts, this crew is also a crew that is extremely strict in all kinds of work.

Like the ease and joy she felt in other crews, this crew will not have it.

Hurry up, Yu Li turned her eyes away from the filming screen and began to focus on her own script.

You know, she hasn't won this role yet.

……

……

"How about it, the first day back."

Chang Zhengwei was driving the car and asked casually.

On the way back to the hotel, Yu Li followed Zhang Yuming and Chang Zhengwei in a car, and it was a gathering of old friends.

"No, it's half a day."

Zhang Yuming corrected, "I just saw Lily sitting there alone and studying the script hard, so I probably know how she feels."

"Actually it's fine."

Yu Li leaned on the seat, feeling a little emotional, "Familiar atmosphere, familiar people."

"That's how I got here in my first play, and I can still get used to it."

"Just looking at your performance, I can't believe it, what's going on, Xiao Ming, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you suddenly so awesome, and your acting is so good, I'm not used to it."

Not only is he not used to it, he is simply a different person.

Like the old corpse in the mountain village, when he didn't know that Chu Renmei was actually a real ghost, Zhang Yuming's performance can be said to be... relatively average.

Generally, a scene would be NG many times. Later, with the blessing of Teacher Chu, he began to perform more smoothly.

But that's not acting, it's really scary, it has nothing to do with acting.

Now Zhang Yuming's performance is called real acting.

She was a little surprised that a person who was so lively and active in reality turned into a mature uncle as soon as he entered the scene.

"No way, you must work hard to work under Director Lu." Zhang Yuming said modestly, but his tone was very complacent, "But you haven't seen Teacher Yu act before, that's really awesome. Teacher Chang is awesome."

"Stomp on a handful, right?"

Chang Zhengwei, who was driving, said, "Actually, it's just... a little bit, she has a lot of concentration."

For Yu Wenxiu, he was convinced.

"Of course I know, why haven't I seen Teacher Yu acting before?"

Yu Li said dissatisfiedly, "You forgot, I have always supported Director Lu's films."

"Like curses, double pupils, I've seen them all."

"Teacher Yu, she's really good. I'm just curious as to why she hasn't been popular before."

Chang Zhengwei shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't mean that if you act well, you will be popular and filmed. It mainly depends on luck and... relationship."

"You and Xiao Ming, that's really lucky to have such a good opportunity at such a young age."

"Don't talk about Teacher Yu, look at me, I'm in my early 30s, too."

What luck.

In fact, there are not many actors who have experienced the same encounter with him and Yu Wenxiu.

But when Lu Zhengyi was silent and unknown, it was the two of them who met him, which was really lucky.

"Speaking of which, where is Teacher Chu?"

But then, Yu Li asked curiously, "As well as Assistant Director Zhang, I haven't seen anyone all afternoon."

"I remember, the two of them should have stayed on the set to work with Director Lu, right?"

"This time, we're going back to the old version."

One year.

After a full year, she came back again and met these same people, and everyone was still the same as before.

This feeling is actually quite good.

Although the shooting atmosphere was still so heavy and serious, she was actually quite happy.

No one has changed.

But regarding her questions, there was a little silence in the car.

"...Deputy Director Zhang is sick, after all he is old."

Seeing that Chang Zhengwei didn't speak, Zhang Yuming replied helplessly, "It's not convenient to tell you what Teacher Chu said at the moment."

"I can't tell you more, you have to pass the audition of the crew first."

"Actually, during your absence, a lot of things have happened. Apart from filming, there are also many things in life. There are many more... new rules."
