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

Chapter 191 [Everyone, we did it]

"Director Chen, I am..."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, this is my business card. I have a script here..."

"Really, have you already participated three times? That's really amazing."

……

There was a mixed crowd at the Academy Awards.

There are smiling organizers, celebrities with low eyebrows, and ecstatic reporters.
Everyone is playing their respective roles and performing things in line with their status in front of the camera.

The greater your status and status, the more people will pay attention to you.

He is a big-time actor or star, so some directors and screenwriters come to him and want to make an appointment.
Since he was a famous director, some actors and stars posted him.

At the same time, there were people walking around the scene with cameras and microphones, like hungry wolves that were dizzy from hunger, just waiting for something to happen on the scene so that they could write 'big news', okay? Let the companies behind them make a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, as the 'only' famous horror film director in the country, Lu Zhengyi naturally had many people surrounding him.

A charming female idol, a handsome little boy, a pretty actress, a mature and handsome uncle...

In this circle, most people have a certain score in appearance.

Even among the few people who don't rely on their appearance to make a living, they still have a more or less unique temperament, and their appearance has characteristics that make people either approachable or memorable at a glance.

Appearance is one of the 'abilities' that can stay in this circle.

"Our Director Lu is starting to get impatient."

A little further away from them, Chang Zhengwei and Yu Wenxiu had already walked away.

Although they are somewhat famous now, their status in the scene is not high. There are no colleagues to come to them, and media reporters are all around those high-traffic celebrities and well-known actors, so they are in this chaotic situation. Despite the environment, there is still time to spare.

As for Lu Zhengyi, who was surrounded by a group of people and was surrounded by stars, Chang Zhengwei said, "He is impatient."

If Zhang Yuming or Bai Wei were present, they might say something like 'Director Lu is becoming more and more popular', 'Director Lu is very happy', 'Director Lu enjoys it', but the two of them did not Same.

Not everyone craves this kind of attention and being so sought after.

At least Lu Zhengyi didn't have such a temper in their impression.

Standing next to Chang Zhengwei, Yu Wenxiu crossed his arms, straightened his back, and casually chatted, "I think after today, if Director Lu gets any more awards in the future, he will probably ask someone else to receive them on his behalf."

"possible."

Chang Zhengwei nodded. With Lu Zhengyi's temperament, he would probably do this.

In many things, he would only join in with a supportive attitude the first time.

But then, he would start to refuse for various reasons.

"Speaking of which, Xiuxiu, have you ever participated in this kind of award show before?"

Chang Zhengwei looked away from Lu Zhengyi and turned to the person next to him, "He looks very skilled."

"Of course, I've been around for more than ten years anyway."

Mentioning this, Yu Wenxiu looked a little dazed, "Although I haven't had any outstanding works before, it's okay to shamelessly find someone to sit in the back seat. After all, in this kind of occasion, you can see many people who can't even get their contact information. The directors, screenwriters and actors who arrived.”

"Before, I would have been like them, socializing everywhere, handing out business cards, and looking for opportunities."

"Although after giving out so many business cards and looking for opportunities for so long, I didn't even get a chance to be nominated. In the end, it was through the relationship with the teacher at the drama school that I joined Director Lu's crew, and then I got the chance. Participate as a competitor, albeit a nomination.”

She knew very well that she would not win the Best Actress award.

In fact, many award ceremonies are a process. As for the results, the nominees already know the results before arriving at the scene.

Unless there is a change on the spot, most people can remain absolutely humble in front of the camera and will not become jealous or dissatisfied...

Next to him, Chang Zhengwei also sighed with emotion, "I'm about the same."

In two years, too many things happened.

They have all gone from being stars who need to show up everywhere and fight for opportunities to actors who can really focus on acting.

"But you are a cultivator, do you still care about these things?"

But then, Chang Zhengwei suddenly remembered the biggest change in Yu Wenxiu in the past two years, and asked, "Shouldn't you focus on practice?"

Not only has her career changed, but her level has also changed.

You are already a practitioner. Do you still care about things like acting and becoming famous?
Compared with being a human being, becoming an immortal and cultivating people would be more interesting, right?
It should be like the Taoist priests in Taoist temples, doing homework and practicing every day, is it normal?

"Of course I care."

Yu Wenxiu glanced at him and said, "Cultivation is luck, acting is hobby. There is a difference."

"And when you embark on the path of spiritual practice, there are actually not many changes, in various aspects."

"If you have the opportunity to go down this road, you will probably understand."

Her tone was calm.

Three months have passed, and she has already suppressed her excitement, and by recalling some of Lu Zhengyi's usual behaviors, she has learned some knowledge about cultivation.

"Are you at Versailles?"

Chang Zhengwei's expression became strange, "My physical fitness has obviously improved, and it is visible to the naked eye. I have become healthier."

After knowing the truth of this world, who would say such words after embarking on the path of spiritual practice?
"If you had a chance, you'd understand."

Yu Wenxiu didn't explain much.

Now she can understand why Lu Zhengyi advised them not to understand when Assistant Director Zhang and Xu Feng asked about the practice when Director Wang came to Director Lu's home.

"Hey, it's Zhou Jie!"

"Is Miss Zhou actually here too?"

"After all, she is a former golden actress, and the relationship between the organizer and her has always been very good."

"Okay, so beautiful."

"She is already over 40 years old, right? Why is this sister so...hissing?"

……

While the two were talking, there was a noise from the door, which attracted their attention.

At the door, a figure leisurely got out of a car. Under the gazes and exclamations of the media reporters and fans blocking the door, he walked calmly across the red carpet and walked into the car provided by the sponsor of the car brand next to him. Take a group photo and leave your name on the signature wall of the invited guests.

After that, she entered the venue under the wolf-like gazes of everyone.

Zhou Jie's appearance directly attracted the attention of most people present.

Whether you are a reporter, actor, director, screenwriter...

Most people's eyes fell on her and couldn't move away at all, regardless of gender.

Zhou Jie herself was already accustomed to being looked at unscrupulously and stared at. She stood there very calmly, scanning the surroundings, looking at the figures that had started to take steps and walked towards this side.

Popular idol stars, well-known directors, newspaper reporters, organizers and...

Suddenly, the calm and calm expression on Zhou Jie's face became stiff.

She widened her eyes and looked directly at Lu Zhengyi, who was surrounded by several people not far away.

That burly and fierce figure was so conspicuous that even with so many people present, Zhou Jie could easily see it.

At this sight, her face began to turn red, and she stepped back unconsciously, wanting to escape.

Shame!

What a shame!

Recalling the time when she was 'sick', running up to people like a clown, boasting and talking nonsense, Zhou Jie was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Naturally, her gaffe did not escape the other people who had been paying attention to her.

"What's wrong? Sister Jie."

The person in charge of the organizer hurried forward.

Then, he was directly pulled by Zhou Jie's arm, and was pulled into a corner under the astonished eyes of others.

"Why is Lu Zhengyi here?!"

Zhou Jie asked in a low voice, unable to hide her shame.

"Lu, Director Lu?"

The person in charge of the organizer was pulled over and was a little confused when he was suddenly asked this question.

He wanted to look towards Lu Zhengyi in the distance, but before he could turn his head, his head was directly held down by Zhou Jie's hands, and he could only look straight at her.

"answer me!"

Zhou Jie asked coldly.

"Director Lu was nominated, no, no, he won the Newcomer Director Award, so I came to get the award."

The person in charge of the organizer's eyes fell on Zhou Jie's face, and he was dumbfounded. He spoke directly and replied in a daze.

"Why didn't you inform me earlier?"

Zhou Jie put down her hands and asked again.

"We have sent the list of guests to your team."

The person in charge continued talking, his expression becoming silly.

Zhou Jie gritted her teeth as she listened to his answer.

Indeed, the team also sent her the list, but she didn't see it.

"No, doesn't he make horror movies?"

Zhou Jie stood there, leaning on the host's body to block Lu Zhengyi's direction, as if she was afraid that the other party would look over, "Can a horror movie win an award?"

"Yes."

The person in charge replied, "Do you hate him? If you hate him, I can arrange to replace him immediately."

He even said something about making substitutions on the spot.

Don't even think about the consequences of doing so.

The whole person seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, with only Zhou Jie in his eyes.

"I need you to give me bad advice?"

Zhou Jie glanced at him coldly, but she carefully looked through the gap between the person in charge's arm and body to look at Lu Zhengyi over there.

At this sight, she breathed a sigh of relief.

No one looked this way at all.

Drive people away?

How could she have such courage!
"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Jie waved her hands irritably, as if to shoo away flies.

However, this expression only stayed on her face for less than a second. When the person in charge walked away in a daze, a standard smile bloomed on her face again, facing the person who was looking at her. Heap walked over.

"Sorry, everyone."

Zhou Jie looked at the others kindly, "I was rude just now, because the person in charge of the organizer is quite familiar with me, so I just reminisced about old times."

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy, Queen Zhou."

"Yes, you are busy with your business."

"By the way, sit over here. I saw your seat just now. It's in the front row."

As soon as she opened her mouth, others who were still surprised and confused about what was happening over there suddenly believed her.

Even though, in their eyes just now, the actress Zhou held the face of the person in charge of the organizer and chatted alone for a long time in public.

"I hope you can forget what happened just now." Zhou Jie continued to say with a smile, "I also hope that all my friends in the media can delete what I just took. After all, people who don't know about the scene just now thought we were nothing. It's a legitimate relationship." "I've deleted it, Teacher Zhou."

"I deleted it too."

"And I!"

The media rushed to delete the 'exclusive news' caught on camera, missing an opportunity to make a lot of money, get a promotion and a salary increase.

"Then thank you all."

Zhou Jie nodded politely, "Everyone, please go ahead, I have some other things to do here."

In an instant, the group of people who were still watching her closely seemed to have suddenly woken up, and they were each doing their own thing.

"Zhou Jie is here."

Chang Zhengwei stood there in a daze, his whole body stunned.

"Wake up."

Yu Wenxiu stared closely at Zhou Jie, who was walking in the distance, "She is a practitioner."

"Eh?"

Chang Zhengwei turned his head in confusion, "She? What happened just now?"

He has no memory.

In his memory, he heard a sudden louder noise outside the door, and then Zhou Jie walked in, and that was it.

"Yes, that's what happened."

Yu Wenxiu looked at the person walking towards Lu Zhengyi in the distance, "Let's go over and have a look."

She took Chang Zhengwei's arm, who was still dazed, and walked over.

Yu Wenxiu also has no memory.

Even though she is also a practitioner, her memory of what happened just now is blank.

But compared to Chang Zhengwei, who didn't feel anything was wrong.

However, she clearly noticed that a section of her memory was missing, and she was not fooled by it naturally.

At the same time, she touched the amulet on her chest, a little doubtful of its usefulness.

Or is this thing only for ghosts?
"Sorry, please step aside."

In the distance, Zhou Jie approached cautiously. As soon as he came and opened his mouth, everyone around him gave way.

"Let them go."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her and said casually.

Zhou Jie, who was originally a little nervous about disturbing his 'interest', felt relieved after hearing this and waved her hand.

And those people who were surrounding him disappeared immediately.

Apart from……

Zhou Jie looked at the two people approaching behind Lu Zhengyi with a stiff face.

No, hey, are they also cultivators? Didn’t they tell others to go away?
Why are these two disobedient?

I have been looking for two people for so many years.

Why did both of them appear when they met Lu Zhengyi?

Or is it that those people whom I tested in the past were actually just pretending?
They just watched their poor performance, but pretended not to know?

When she thought of this, Zhou Jie's face turned even red.

She regretted it, deeply regretted it, and had a sense of social death.

"Lu, Director Lu."

Yu Wenxiu pulled Chang Zhengwei, who was already looking dull, and walked over with great difficulty.

Yes, tough.

She was fine before she came over, but when she got closer and heard Zhou Jie telling others around her to leave, the thought of unconsciously obeying arose again, so that...

"These are people from our crew." Lu Zhengyi raised his hand casually and patted Chang Zhengwei and Yu Wenxiu on the shoulders, "Let me introduce you to Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei. They often collaborate with me and are good at acting. A very dedicated actor.”

The two people who were still extremely reluctant at first suddenly came to their senses at the moment when a pair of generous palms patted their shoulders.

Even the 'forgotten' memories just now came back.

It was like the 'words' that had been placed on his body were blown away by this slap.

"It turns out to be Director Lu's people, no wonder."

Only then did Zhou Jie recognize the two of them. While nodding towards them, the shame in her heart dissipated a little and she became thoughtful.

When I watched Lu Zhengyi's movie before, it seemed that there were indeed these two actors.

So, is Lu Zhengyi also doing what he was doing before?
But because he was too weak, those behaviors seemed childish and embarrassing.

"So were you hiding from me just now?"

But then, Lu Zhengyi looked at her again and talked about the scene just now.

"Eh?"

Zhou Jie, who originally thought she didn't pay attention at all, suddenly became embarrassed again, "That's not true."

"It's just that my previous thoughts were too frivolous, so I was a little nervous when I saw you."

"But regarding some matters related to spiritual practice, the master of Yangxin Guan has made it clear to me. I will never do the same thing again."

Knowing that those masters were hiding among the people, how could she still be so presumptuous and arrogant?

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her with a smile, "It's not easy to maintain a peaceful world. Teacher Zhou, you have to keep trying and resist those strange thoughts."

"Clear, understand."

Zhou Jie replied stiffly.

Although it is said that the person in front of me is a round smaller than him.

If I had worked hard when I was young, I would have a son as old as Lu Zhengyi now.

But for some reason, when she faced him, she didn't feel like she was facing a 20-year-old boy.

Is it because of spiritual practice?
Is it because of the difference in strength?

She doesn't know.

"Speaking of which, if I want to cooperate with Teacher Zhou in the future, is there any chance?"

Seeing her nervous and submissive look, Lu Zhengyi struck while the iron was hot, as if he mentioned it casually.

"Of course, of course."

Zhou Jie hurriedly replied, but as she spoke, she became hesitant again, "Director Lu, are you referring to...acting?"

"Of course it's filming. Besides filming, is there anything else we can do together?"

Lu Zhengyi replied matter-of-factly, "Let's talk first, I don't want to conquer like you do..."

He planned to express Zhou Jie's previous thoughts.

"There's no need to explain things like this too clearly, Director Lu."

But before she finished speaking, Zhou Jie, who was still nervous, suddenly interrupted. At the same time, she politely nodded again to Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei behind her.

Thinking about it, she didn't want more people to know about her previous ideal. '

That sounds like a high school student's unrealistic fantasy.

Zhou Jie acted so embarrassed that Lu Zhengyi didn't continue talking and just gave up.

While they were chatting, the award ceremony gradually began.

The chaotic venue began to become orderly, and people sat down according to the pre-arranged seats.

Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei sat in the actors' area because they were actors, while Lu Zhengyi sat in the front row with several directors and screenwriters who had met before.

He was not shy about the occasion.

The other people next to him also took good care of him, and would talk to him from time to time, trying not to make him feel embarrassed, or be photographed sitting there alone.

"What is being announced now is the Best Actress Award. This time the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress is..."

"The directors nominated for the New Director Award this time are Director Lu Zhengyi who directed "The Curse" and Director Xu Yulin who directed "Spring Flowers". They directed... these three directors."

"Now, let us invite the two guests responsible for awarding the awards to come on stage and take a look at their respective films. Let me remind everyone present that Director Lu's film is a horror film. When the clips are played later, everyone Please be mentally prepared.”

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor...

As the awards were announced one after another, it soon came to the New Director Award nominated by Masayoshi Lu.

Although it was a nomination, he already knew the result.

Soon, the screen behind the host began to play clips of "The Curse". Although it was only a clip, many people present frowned secretly, especially some older people, who simply closed their eyes.

This is probably one of the reasons why horror films are so hard to win awards, whether abroad or domestically.

Not everyone can accept horror movies.

Especially quality horror films.

"Congratulations to Director Lu, for becoming the winner of the Academy Award for New Director!"

As the three movies were finished, a professor from Beidu Film School and a veteran director spent a long time before finally announcing the results of the three nominees below.

"Let's invite Director Lu Xiao to come on stage to accept the award. This is the first director in the history of Tang Dynasty film history to win an award for a horror film!"

But following their words, everyone present suddenly became serious.

They suddenly realized this.

This is the first director in Tang Dynasty to win an award for a horror film.

The first one always stands out.

After today, the film history of the Tang Dynasty and the textbooks of all drama and film schools in the country will be updated, and the name Lu Zhengyi will leave a very strong mark in it.

At the same time, no one will question Lu Zhengyi's status in the domestic horror film market.

Their eyes turned to the figure standing up in the front row.

The figure and face that seemed tall and fierce in the past seemed a bit distant and hazy under the glare of stage fluorescent lights at this moment.

"I am very happy to receive this award today. But receiving this award is not something I can do alone."

After Lu Zhengyi took the award from the hands of the two seniors, he bent down gratefully, nodded towards them, and then came to the microphone again, "This award is the result of the hard work of all of us on the Mei Civet Cat crew. "

"As a director, I just came to accept this award on behalf of everyone on the crew."

"Unfortunately, today, all members of our crew cannot be present. Only our teachers Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei accompanied me, but I believe they are watching this scene through live broadcast at this moment."

As he spoke, he looked toward the audience below.

Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei stared at this scene with wide eyes.

The live cameras and fluorescent lights also fell on them at the right time.

However, Lu Zhengyi did not stop yet and continued:
"At the same time, I am also very grateful to all the fans who support us. It is your love for horror movies that has restored the glory of this seemingly niche category."

"At this moment, I just want to say something through the camera to all of us on the Meitanuki crew and to all the fans who support us."

"Guys, we did it."

As he spoke, he pointed at the camera and raised the trophy with one hand.
