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

Chapter 183 [Scared to Death]

[The two paragraphs at the beginning and end of the film make it very clear, 'In this world where there is no distinction between black and white, you cannot rely solely on guessing what you do', 'Someone walks into the forest with a shotgun and wants to kill a black bear or It was a white bear, but in the end, the hunter was killed by a grizzly bear. 'This film can be viewed from three viewing angles, one is white, one is black, and one is gray (neither black nor white). 】

[After watching the movie, I felt extremely depressed. It was hard to imagine that in such a world, whether people should be better off alive or dead. 】

[Indeed, compared to the curse, there are gods who can deal with ghosts.There is nothing in the first commandment, it is all filled by human life. 】

[If I go to the First Commandment, I will definitely choose the ghost camp first. 】

[Speaking of which, is that officer Director Lu personally fighting? 】

[Fuck, I originally thought this officer was a big ghost. After seeing the final credits, I thought this ghost was not that big. 】

As the release days passed day by day, The First Commandment finally had a rest day and ushered in a huge breakthrough in box office data.

At the same time, there are more and more comments, attention, and traffic on various platforms.

And some professional film critics have also begun to produce some relatively high-quality content.

Regarding the various perspectives of the film The First Commandment, some people discussed Director Lu who joined the drama for the first time, and some imagined what they would choose if they went to such a world.

But there is no doubt that the world of the First Commandment is oppressive.

And many people noticed that director Lu Zhengyi actually made a guest appearance in the play this time.

The commander, who doesn’t even have a face or a name, is a character throughout the first commandment.

Its importance is no less than that of Chen Fulai, who was shot dead right after he appeared on the scene.

Although he didn't participate in any formal plot, the background was always that office.

He appeared several times, either eating or talking.

The content captured by the camera is even more pitiful.

But even under this circumstance, this commander left a very deep impression on many viewers.

There are even many people who define him as the biggest ghost. '

"It's hard to imagine what kind of mental state Director Lu was in when he chose to make a horror film."

"Ah, I feel so bored after watching The First Commandment. Let me open a post to change the atmosphere. Each person can prove that he has watched Director Lu's film. I will go first. If you ask me, do you believe in the first commandment? It’s out of science, so I don’t think there is one. But if you ask me if I believe someone can like Director Lu, then I believe the former! It’s too hellish!”

"Without that sword, I can still annihilate the enemy! Sorry, I went to the wrong set."

"This is a bar. Sorry, I went to the wrong set too."

"Hhhh ​​I can't imagine that someone will like Director Lu in the future. He would scare me to death even if I rolled over in the middle of the night."

"Actually, Director Lu is quite handsome, but he looks very fierce. But every time I watch the movie or browse the forum with fear, I suddenly feel less afraid. This is... sharing the curse!"

"Afraid why do you want to watch?"

"Because I like it, I get diarrhea every time I eat fried chicken, and I think in my heart I will never eat it again. But after a while, I will continue to order the fried chicken from this restaurant."

……

Some discuss the plot,

Some are looking for people who have also watched the movie and were so scared that they dared not sleep in the middle of the night.

The popularity of the First Commandment continues to rise, but people in the Tang Dynasty are no longer surprised by it.

'Um?Horror film? '

'Oh, Lu Zhengyi's film, it's normal. '

This is probably the mentality.

Although on the Internet, there are still people who, because of the marketing of various media, say that the withdrawal of Nightmare is because of the First Commandment.

But no one has ever doubted the quality of the First Commandment.

If it were another type of film, it might not have such a big impact.

But in the domestic horror film market, Lu Zhengyi was the first to open up the market with a hoe. The volume is extremely different.

Lu Zhengyi's film, which started from scratch and defeated the stereotype, is not so easy to be influenced by the public opinion of some media.

"To answer the question of this fan whose ID is my cat, every time I watch your videos, I can't sleep for a while."

"Thank you, thank you very much for supporting our film. For this work, I think it is normal to be scared. To be honest, although I have been making horror films with Director Lu for a long time, when I first saw the script It took a while to recover.”

"Hmm, for those who have watched the previous works, this horror movie is too deadly."

"There is also a question from this friend whose ID is "The Lost Backyard". He asked me what he thinks about whether horror movies are scary or not. "

"I think this problem is like if you can't laugh when you watch a cross talk, or you can't cry when you watch a depressive movie, is it because the quality of the movie is not good? Maybe, but it may also be because the environment and mood at the time were not right."

"For many works of art, in addition to the quality and reputation of the creator, the situation of the person who appreciates it at the time is also extremely important."

light media,

In one of the studios, Chang Zhengwei was talking in front of the camera.

In front of him, there was a large display screen with many questions from fans.

As the leading actors, Zhang Yuming and Chang Zhengwei appeared in front of the audience almost all the time after the release of The First Commandment, making their presence felt.

Today I will answer questions from the audience live on Weibo, tomorrow I will go on a variety show to promote the movie, and the day after tomorrow I will have to participate in some exclusive interviews with the media.

The period after the movie is released should be the most tiring period for actors and other people in front of and behind the scenes.

It may be a bit more tiring than the process of shooting on the set.

Because on the set, actors only need to focus on acting.

Now, they need to guard their mouths at all times and tighten their spirits to ensure that they don't say anything wrong in front of the media cameras.

Especially recently, after the news that Nightmare has been withdrawn.

A smile appeared on Chang Zhengwei's face, and he patiently answered the audience's questions one after another. He also wore glasses and looked gentle and elegant. He had a sense of déjà vu as if he was an old corpse in a mountain village in a dream.

But in fact, his back was completely wet now.

In such a cold winter weather in early December, his whole body was soaked with sweat.

"Teacher Chang, does the cancellation of the show in the night really have anything to do with you?"

"It's so funny that the fans next door are so crazy right now that they went out together to fight, and ended up losing their homes."

"On the day of the premiere, after watching The First Commandment, I went to watch Nightmare. The two works are not on the same level."

"Indeed, from the looks of those trailers, I can probably imagine it to be a love-me-and-I-love-you romance film disguised as a horror film."

"Anyway, I never liked that movie from the beginning. I just don't know if the media were all blind. Before it was released, they were all talking bad about Director Lu. Now that it's better, there's no need to fight. If we fight, they will immediately withdraw.”

"I heard that the reason for the withdrawal was that it was too scary. Le, they really took it off the shelves and there are no resources online? I only watched it for 6 minutes and then turned it off..."

On the tablet in front of Chang Zhengwei, there were more people discussing the two films than the audience who asked normal questions.

To him, every question they spoke about was a sensitive and sharp one.

As a public figure, in most cases, he cannot express his thoughts and feelings directly in front of the camera.

Just like now, although Chang Zhengwei wanted to laugh, he couldn't.

If you laugh or take a screenshot, you will be labeled as arrogant and adding insult to injury.

There are even people who 'acquiesce' that the release of Nightmare is the work of their First Commandment crew.

As a public figure, the best way to deal with such controversial topics is to remain invisible.

Otherwise, misfortune comes from the mouth, and a person can become popular very quickly and also become cold very quickly.As a veteran actor who has been in this industry for so many years, although Chang Zhengwei has never been popular before, he has seen too many examples.

In this case, doing a simple interaction on live broadcast is actually more tiring than acting.

Acting can at least have a script and can be reshot.

There is no script for this live broadcast. If you accidentally answer a question from an audience member incorrectly, stand in line, or make a statement, your nascent stardom will probably fade quickly.

"Ah, yes, this is a professional studio. I'm in a light and shadow company now."

"Have you ever watched Nightmare? Hmm... I've always had the idea to look at the performances of other actors who often appear in similar films, but the film hasn't just been released recently and I'm very busy, so I don't have much time."

"Is Director Lu the biggest ghost? Well... Actually, there is no such thing in the script, but I personally feel that it may be so. In fact, in the last paragraph, if you look at it from the perspective of a ghost, Li Guoqiang should be The ghost took over his body. But when he met with the superior, his shirt was soaked by the spilled coffee and stained."

"I also asked Director Lu about 'how to overturn'. But you should know Director Lu's temperament if you have watched the road show video. He hopes that the audience can discover it from the plot on their own, and does not want to be involved in the play." To explain it from outside, he thought it looked silly. It was like telling a joke and the audience didn't laugh, so he had to explain the funny point himself."

"Where is Director Lu? Director Lu is preparing to get married. Yes, getting married. This news should have spread quite widely."

Chang Zhengwei laughed unconsciously as he spoke.

Behind the camera, other studio staff also laughed.

……

The news that Lu Zhengyi is getting married did not attract much attention.

After all, he is a semi-behind-the-scenes person.

Many hotly searched topics are based on movies, not on him as a person.

However, within the circle, the news spread widely.

The circle here does not refer to those who pay attention to the entertainment industry, but those who actually move and work in this circle.

Director Lu Zhengyi is getting married to Zhang Xueming, the future heir of Light and Shadow Media.

All of a sudden, many people on the Internet were promoting how much money Lu Zhengyi made from movies, the crew of The First Commandment reported night terrors, and Zhang Yuming’s bad character... all kinds of comments came to a halt after the news came out. .

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Thank you. I must come to the wedding when the time comes. My father also misses Mr. Li very much."

"Huh? Next play?"

In the work area on the upper floor of the studio, in the manager's office, Zhang Xueming was answering the phone calmly, "I haven't heard Ayi say this so far, but I should... think about it. He has always Once you start working, you can’t stop.”

"Investment? Ah, but those conditions are not yours..."

"Huh? Can you accept it?"

Although her words and tone seemed surprised.

But there was no surprise on his face.

It was as if he had expected that someone would be willing to accept Lu Zhengyi's conditions and join the team.

"Indeed, this place is relatively busy for the time being."

Zhang Xueming smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, if there is news by then, I will communicate with you."

"Wedding gift? You don't need this. You can just be there when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I won't miss you."

She said and finally hung up the phone.

"It's Mr. Li from last time."

Zhang Xueming helplessly looked at Lu Zhengyi, who was lying on the sofa opposite and playing with his mobile phone, "I know someone has revealed the truth, but now it's all over the place."

Lu Zhengyi looked at some horror movies from other countries and replied, "As long as you can accept the conditions, you can obviously send the money here, and then you can sit at home and wait for the money to arrive. Such a good thing, I can't understand them. Why not accept it."

"Obviously they are all such big businessmen, but they have no vision at all."

"We, Ah Ming, have good taste. Without saying a word, he put money into my pocket and let me spend it as I pleased."

This was something they had expected early on.

With a company as big as Guangying acting as a 'legal person' in the middle, Lu Zhengyi's previously seemingly harsh conditions suddenly became simpler.

At least if Lu Zhengyi takes the money and runs away, Guangying can bear the responsibility.

In this case, those who were already jealous of this piece of cake naturally came over eagerly to communicate.

"Stop kissing my ass."

Zhang Xueming laughed unconsciously, "And is this really okay with you? I work here and you fish over there."

"The post-publicity matters are none of my business."

Lu Zhengyi put down his phone, sat up and looked at her, "But don't be too tired."

"You are just a manager now and you have so much work to do. If you inherit your father's position in the future, wouldn't it mean that you are in the company 24 hours a day and have no home?"

"This is not okay. Our contract clearly states that we must have working hours and living time."

As he spoke, he stood up, came behind her, and squeezed her shoulders.

The second benefit of being behind the scenes is that you have time to rest.

Now, the shooting, editing and processing of the film have been completed, and Guangying is responsible for the promotion and distribution.

As for publicity, only actors like Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming are needed to do it.

Naturally, director Lu Zhengyi was free.

But apart from him, the other behind-the-scenes staff of the crew are also idle now.

Probably because Zhang Yu's situation frightened them all, they were all in good health.

"I……"

Zhang Xueming was going to say something else, but before she could finish, the phone rang again.

She picked up the phone with a helpless expression, pointed to the sofa in the distance with her finger, and said, "Hey, Mr. Huang, I haven't contacted you in a long time."

Lu Zhengyi had no choice but to lie back on the sofa and pick up his mobile phone to learn the shooting techniques of other countries.

He has basically fully learned the working ability of the director's profession, and has also formed a basic prototype of shooting style.

He no longer does the homework of reading books when he had free time.

Nowadays, if you want to do better, it depends more on practice, trying, and reading more films.

Try different shooting styles, shooting techniques, editing techniques...

Through constant attempts and perfecting your shooting skills, you can slowly develop a style similar to writing style and musical style. When watching a movie, the audience will know whose work it is without even looking at the director's name.

But just when Lu Zhengyi was observing other people's works seriously, a text message suddenly popped up on his phone.

It comes from Chang Zhengwei who is broadcasting live in the studio downstairs.

"Something happened, Director Lu."

"The barrage keeps going on here. There's a movie theater in Hong Kong City where people died."

"It seems that they were scared to death after watching our movie."

The three messages made Lu Zhengyi, who was still lying down, sit up directly and his face became serious.
