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

Chapter 163 [Ah? 】

[The response to your curse was very good. I applied for the new director award for you here. It seems... there is a chance. 】

After a busy day of filming, Lu Zhengyi had just returned to the hotel where he was resting when his phone vibrated.

Pick it up and take a look, Zhang Xueming sent him a message.

Although it was almost early morning after returning to the hotel, neither he nor Zhang Xueming had started to rest on normal working days.

【gone back already? 】

[I remember that usually by this time, you should have already finished work. 】

【can we talk on video?It's a little inconvenient to type and talk, and I still have some work here. 】

Lu Zhengyi hadn't replied yet, but Zhang Xueming sent three messages in succession.

【Going back, getting on the elevator. 】

Lu Zhengyi retreated silently to the back of the crowd, edited a message and sent it, and glanced at the elevator's ascending floor.

"how?"

In the elevator, Xu Feng in front turned around and asked teasingly, "Is your wife here to inspect the post?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the elevator became quiet.

"what?"

Zhang Yuming turned around.

"what?"

Ajie turned around.

"what?"

In the same elevator, there are all people from Mei Limao's crew.

At this moment, they all turned around in a daze and looked at the burly man standing at the end.

That face was so familiar, yet so strange.

"Wife?"

Zhang Yuming asked aloud, "Director Lu, are you married?"

Lu Zhengyi put down his phone and coughed lightly, "Cough, not yet."

"not yet……"

Yu Li muttered this word.

"That's it?"

Zhang Yuming's eyes widened, "Isn't it really Mr. Zhang?"

"Wait a minute, Director Lu, aren't you two in a cooperative relationship?"

"No, when did it happen? During this year, you have been filming with us for nearly ten months. Where did you come from..."

what happened.

Earlier, when I was chatting with me in private, I also told me that young people should work hard to make money, and don't always spend time on love and love.

Now turning around, did you talk about it yourself?
In the eyes of outside fans, Director Lu, who shoots three movies a year without any rest time, still has time to fall in love?

what?
"A Ming, you don't understand."

Xu Feng was beside him, and patted him on the shoulder, "High-end hunters usually use the simplest way to hunt."

"But……"

Zhang Yuming glanced blankly at Xu Feng next to him, then looked at Lu Zhengyi behind him, just about to say something.

"It's here." Lu Zhengyi glanced at the elevator that had arrived, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, take a good rest. Tomorrow, the last scene of the school's live scene is finished, and the normal shooting is officially over."

As he spoke, he directly passed the crowd and walked outside.

But when he got out of the elevator, Lu Zhengyi stopped suddenly, turned around to look at them, and replied with a smile, "By the way, the news that Xu Feng said just now may be true, but it's just a possibility. Negotiable."

Everyone is so familiar, and may become more familiar in the future.

When you get married, there is no need to hide it.

It's a nice notification, if a little abrupt.

[Then the video now? 】

No longer paying attention to the group of people chattering behind him, Lu Zhengyi walked towards his room and picked up his mobile phone.

Zhang Xueming responded almost instantly after he responded to the message.

But he was in the elevator just now, so he didn't have time to read the news.

[I was in the elevator just now, the signal was not good. 】

[Tomorrow will be the last shooting of this real scene, so I have to pack up for a long time at night, and it will be late to return to the hotel. 】

[By the way, you said you submitted the film?Who did you report to. 】

While replying to the message, he swiped his room card and opened the door.

Lu Zhengyi first explained the reason for coming back tonight, and then asked about winning the prize.

But as soon as he entered the door, the phone vibrated with a 'buzzing' sound.

Lu Zhengyi answered the video call, and Zhang Xueming's face suddenly appeared on the phone screen at a close range, but the camera quickly pulled away, leaving only the side face.

Very perfect profile.

The three-dimensional and exquisite facial features, coupled with the snow-white skin, have a kind of... like a character who came out of an animation.

"It's so fast."

Zhang Xueming's tired voice sounded from the phone.

At the same time, her gaze is no longer on the phone, but on the computer in front of her. From time to time, there will be the sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk" mouse buttons.

The faint fluorescent light shone on Zhang Xueming's face, making that cold-toned face look fairer.

She appears to have made the video call on her mobile phone, which is now presumably mounted on a phone holder next to her computer.

Lu Zhengyi recalled the details on her desk.

"Why don't you speak?"

Zhang Xueming didn't hear Lu Zhengyi's reply, so he couldn't help but speak again and glanced at the camera.

"Oh, I was just wondering where you put your phone."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "This lens is facing your side face. The direction should be the mobile phone holder next to your computer screen."

"Judging from the lights in your background, you should have turned off the lights in the room and only turned on the lamp on the table."

"But this angle, it feels like you adjusted it deliberately. I remember in the last video, the angle didn't seem to be here. You moved your phone holder."

as a director.

As a director who has just started directing independently.

Lu Zhengyi is very sensitive to the camera now. Looking at the picture in the camera, he can roughly imagine the picture outside the camera.

This is probably due to staying in front of the director's monitor for a long time and watching those scenes too much.

"..."

In the video, Zhang Xueming's expression was a little unnatural, and she unconsciously reached out to brush her hair, "Cough... it moved a little bit."

"It's good. This angle can highlight the beauty of the side face."

Lu Zhengyi praised, then put the phone on the table in the small living room, and finally sat down.

"……thanks."

After Zhang Xueming hesitated for this compliment, she politely replied with a thank you.

But as soon as she said it, she seemed to find it strange and quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, although judging from the box office, Shuangtong is the highest box office of your three dramas."

Zhang Xueming explained, "But the discussion of the curse is the highest."

"Many people are discussing things other than the plot."

"The prototype of the Great Black Buddha Mother, how did Chenjiacun get in touch with the Great Black Buddha Mother in the past, and the wandering god culture in Taicheng, such as officials and generals, and many derivative stories. Works to participate in the selection, there may be a chance of winning."

Lu Zhengyi listened and couldn't help laughing.

"Ah Ming, do you really know what you're talking about? Curse, that's a curse."

"You sent this film up for selection, do you want to pollute the judges' minds?"

"If we don't give us the prize, we will curse them?"

According to his understanding, it is very difficult to win awards in the genre of horror films.

This is the same whether it is domestic or foreign.

Like the Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Supporting Actor Award... Feature films are usually the easiest to win awards and get high scores.

Next comes romance films, then science fiction films, action films, crime films...

And horror movies are the last, no matter which country the standard is the same.

Lu Zhengyi really rarely heard of any directors and actors of the crew who could win awards for horror films.

"Actually, winning an award depends on the degree of discussion in addition to the type."

Zhang Xueming also felt a little funny when he heard Lu Zhengyi's words, "The discussion of curses is really high."

"Remember, the fan fiction I told you before? Although it's over, there are still people creating similar themes."

"Because the folk legal culture involved in this film is really in line with the life of people in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the southern area, where the officials and generals, the Guan Gong Temple, and the upper body of the gods... These things, people really very interested."

The bar for becoming a Taoist priest is still quite high.

Therefore, although there is a lot of content in the double pupil, in order to pursue the truth, Lu Zhengyi also invited Taoist Guanshan to assist and rectify.

But for those cultural displays, the audience's interest is really not as good as the folk teachings.

Such as Mazu, God of Wealth, God of Land...these familiar gods have many stories in the folk, and many viewers often heard adults mention them when they were young.

But it is difficult for them to discuss in depth about the things in the double pupils.

Because those cultures have thresholds, if you want to understand them in depth, you have to pay attention to many books and knowledge on Yi Xue.

And that knowledge is really not as attractive as the interesting folk tales.

"But the most important thing is that you are theirs."

But then, Zhang Xueming added, "For your father's sake, they will give you more or less points."

"If you win an award, your resume will look better. For many great directors, in addition to having their works meet the standards in the eyes of the audience, they also have to have many awards as the cornerstone."

"Of course, the other thing is that because very few people can do it, if you do it, it will make a difference."

It's like before everyone couldn't make horror movies well.

Therefore, they all feel that there is no market for horror films and that they are a loss-making business.

But since Lu Zhengyi took that step, the situation is different.

Everyone feels that this market is still profitable.

And in this process, if Lu Zhengyi can still get the recognition of some veterans in the industry, then no matter how the horror film market develops in the future, no one will be able to forget who started it all.

This is enough to be included in the history of film and put in the textbooks of various drama schools and film schools.

It's something like a milestone.

In XX, the barren horror film market ushered in a hot wind, who brought it, the famous director Lu Zhengyi. '

Zhang Xueming thought about how to describe those textbooks.

"If you want to try it, then go ahead and try it."

Lu Zhengyi spread his hands, "So, are you only going to talk to me about this matter today?"

"Of course not. There are still a lot of contract details to be checked."

Zhang Xueming continued, "As we mentioned last time, there are many couples in this circle who enter into marriage agreements for business reasons and then live their own lives."

"As for me, it is not recommended to do this, because this kind of marriage agreement is extremely unreliable."

"I hope that while we abide by the contract, we will become a real couple. It seems that you have always emphasized the responsibility. You will be responsible for this marriage, and I will also be responsible for this relationship. We must maintain this relationship together .No matter what happens in the future, priority should be given to stable relations.”

……

……

"It's really crazy, this director. If this kind of plot is filmed, can it be broadcast?"

"Ah? Don't you follow the entertainment industry? Lu Zhengyi has never heard of it."

"I've come to do group performances, so there must be attention. I've been in the fan circle for many years. But in the entertainment industry, is he famous? It's just a director. How famous can he be at such a young age? Generally, young directors , the attention on the Internet is not as good as those idols, right?"

"Here, are you disconnected from the Internet, Director Lu, you have been scolded on the trending searches several times because the movie is too dark."

"Please, Sister Li, even if he is a public figure, you can't expect so many people across the country to know everyone, right? And... he still makes horror movies. I don't watch horror movies. Even if I do, I And only look at foreign ones.”

"But you have to find out about the situation of the crew, since it's work."

"Well, I originally came here because I heard that there was a big job and I could meet a lot of celebrities. But... I was a little disappointed. It seems that none of them are very famous. I basically don't know the actors in this crew anyway. The signature book is still empty, there seems to be no need to sign.”

"...Indeed, you are right."

……

on the rooftop,
Several young and beautiful girls in school uniforms and twin ponytails were standing in a row.

Among them, one of the two girls standing behind her had a speechless face and rolled her eyes inadvertently.

She shouldn't have spoken to this complainer just now.

Indeed, with Lu Zhengyi's age and qualifications, it is certainly not possible for everyone in the country to know him.

Arrange random interviews on the street and ask passers-by to report the name of the known director. His name only appears with a certain probability.

Even though Lu Zhengyi has been a frequent hot search topic for a while, there are many people who don’t pay attention to the genre of horror movies, or people who don’t even watch movies and are busy every day. It’s normal for them not to know other people.

After all, not everyone will go to the hot search list every day.

However, these group performers are not passers-by.

Even if I don’t like watching horror movies, but for the sake of work, I need to understand the director’s shooting style and preferences, so as to stand out in the process of being a group performer, strive to leave an impression on the director’s heart, and get more opportunities for improvement Didn't she think about it?

Did she really come to be a group performer for the purpose of acting, becoming famous, and getting better living conditions?
And are the actors in this crew really not famous?

Thinking of this, Huang Yunli couldn't help but glance at the corner of the rooftop where they put their bags.

Girls always like to buy bags, just like boys like to buy shoes.

Often a girl's family conditions can be seen from the bag she carries on her body.

'Pranda. '

'It's a luxury brand with great value. '

'Although this is a brand that focuses on men's ready-to-wear, it also launches products such as handbags, perfumes, and accessories that are suitable for female users. '

With just one glance, she saw the brand of the bag carried by the girl beside her.

But after passing through the sign, the speechlessness in Huang Yunli's heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by envy.

Obviously she can be regarded as a small supporting role, and he is just a group performer, but she is envious of him in turn.

If it wasn't a high imitation, the girl next to her probably had a good family background.

Come to be a group performer, it should be to experience life, or to be a star chasing girl who can get closer to the 'idol'.

There are more and more people like this in this market with the rise of the draft era.

They don't care about pay or opportunities.

But while having fun and experiencing life, it inevitably hit those hard-working people like them.

"Ali, come here."

In the distance, Xiaowei is helping the girls to twist their ponytails together and tie them into knots one after another.

After completing the last knot, she waved to Huang Yunli.

"Okay, Miss Wei."

Huang Yunli nodded quickly and walked over there.

However, at the moment when his back was turned to the girl behind him, the expression on his face was a little unsettled, and he seemed very disappointed.

"Don't affect the mood of shooting later."

Xiaowei glanced at her, but didn't say much.

"...Yes, Sister Wei."

Huang Yunli smiled awkwardly.

I didn't ask too much, after all, there were other people beside me.

Xiaowei silently helped her tie the ponytail, and then entangled with the ponytails of other extras.

For the whispers of the two girls talking at the end.

She heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

She could more or less tell the reason for Huang Yunli's lost expression from the words of the two of them.

This Huang Yunli is not like these extras. She was found during the actual school scene.

As a relatively important supporting role, she has gone with them in several real scenes.

From the Miscellaneous Section that scene has been followed.

She plays a takeaway girl who doesn't even have a name in the play.

And in the process of delivering food to Huang Yaozu, she developed love for this down-and-out and decadent detective.

But it is one-sided.

After all, there is an age gap between the two, one is a middle-aged uncle who has been divorced, and the other is a high school student who is still in school.

And in the next scene, she is going to die here.

Everyone held hands, she took the lead, tied ponytails, and jumped down from the rooftop like dumplings.

……

"Director Lu, why do I feel that you are particularly unfriendly to couples?"

On the playground downstairs, in the temporary tent, Lu Zhengyi, who was waiting for preparations on the rooftop, heard Zhang Yuming's complaints next to him.

"Except for the first drama, Fa Mao and the female reporter have an open ending, maybe they survived."

"Like a curse, Li Ruonan's boyfriend died. With twin eyes, Huang Huotu's wife and daughter loved him very much, but he died."

"Now in the First Commandment, not only Li Guoqiang is going to die, but his wife is also going to die. As for Huang Yaozu, now this little girlfriend is going to die too, and only his ex-wife is left alone on the boat."

Having said that, he paused, and laughed to himself, "You told me back then that this drama has two male leads, and I was quite looking forward to what kind of dual male leads it would be."

"Now I understand that it was not enough for only one main character to die in the past. Now with two male protagonists, two main characters can die, plus a few more supporting characters, so everyone dies neatly."

More than unfriendly.

It's Qixi Festival, a single dog shopping alone, full of resentment.

"Wait, why is this none of my business?"

Lu Zhengyi corrected, "This script was written by the screenwriter."

"As a director, as an actor, as a production team, we just express the words on the script more vividly."

"He is the one who writes the story, we are the ones who tell the story, it's different."

"Well, before he died, at least he talked about it."

Zhang Yuming sat on the chair, raised his head, and felt a little regretful, "It would be nice if I could have a sweet love at any time."

"Young people don't want to think about making money, so why fall in love?" Chang Zhengwei sat on the other side of Lu Zhengyi, also raising his head and leaning the back of his neck on the back of the chair, "When I was your age, I would do it every day. Just sitting on the set, I just want to be an actor."

"Teacher Chang, why do your words sound so familiar?" Zhang Yuming looked at the top of the tent blankly, "But I really want to fall in love."

And Chang Zhengwei also looked at the top of the tent dully, "I really want to receive an award."

Lu Zhengyi looked left and right, shook his head helplessly, and quickly interrupted the dreaming thoughts of the two male protagonists, saying:
"Okay, okay, don't dream, hurry up and get ready."

"Xiaowei's side is already tied up, remember, panic, panic!"

"Don't let me be in the mirror with such a lifeless look, and adjust the state for me."

Zhang Yuming sat up straight in a daze, "Oh..."

He sighed and stood up.

Chang Zhengwei did the same, sighed and stood up.

The two seemed to be stimulated by something.

"Director Lu, you can't secretly take off the bill alone."

Zhang Yuming suddenly turned his head and said something.

"No, definitely not."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "In this period of rising career, what kind of love is it?"

Just get married and fall in love.

When your career is on the rise, it’s not okay to procrastinate. Just get there in one step and find a like-minded wife.

"You can't secretly get the prize either."

Chang Zhengwei also turned his head and said something.

"I definitely won't take it secretly, don't worry."

Lu Zhengyi quickly waved his hand, "Except for curses, you are the protagonist in my other dramas."

"If I win the prize, you will definitely be indispensable."

"Let's go, get ready for the camera."

With that said, the two of them turned around and left the tent.

But the moment they walked out of the tent, their spirits were completely different.

This made Lu Zhengyi a little helpless.

Isn't it just getting married, isn't it just that he might receive a new director award, what a big deal.
