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

Chapter 367 [Your movie makes me feel like I’m watching a movie]

At the end of December,

Bi Xian, which has been filmed for three years, finally appeared on the screen.

Logically speaking, Lu Zhengyi should have been at the scene to support, but unfortunately, he had other things to be busy with.

"Director Lu, my condolences."

Although it was at the premiere, Lu Zhengyi still received a text message from Li Chuanxin.

The content is very brief, and many people don’t know how to comfort others about this kind of thing.

"How was the premiere?"

In the hospital, Lu Zhengyi replied on his mobile phone while waiting for the medical staff to complete the procedures, "Are you paying attention to the audience's feedback?"

On the other side of the text message, Li Chuanxin responded quickly.

"Of course, the film is still playing, so it should be... OK. Everyone is watching it very seriously. It feels like the place is quite quiet."

Unconfidence dominates his writing.

Lu Zhengyi just wanted to comfort him with a few words, but in front, the medical staff at the window had already handed over the receipts and certificates.

"Condolences."

The nurse also spoke.

Although they were in different places, engaged in different jobs, and their status and relationship with Lu Zhengyi were also different, what she said to Li Chuanxin was the same.

At this time, as outsiders, they said very little.

"It's troublesome."

Lu Zhengyi took the things, nodded towards her, then turned around and walked towards the ward.

He could feel that Lu Yiyong's time might be running out, but he didn't expect that it would be so soon.

It was so unexpected that he left in one night.

In fact, he didn't leave any words, didn't explain anything, didn't see his eldest grandson for the last time... Lu Yiyong didn't have the chance to complete many things, and left with regrets.

And until his death, he never showed the slightest bit of cowardice in front of his son.

But if you think about it carefully, wasn't Zhang Yu like this at the beginning?

In front of his son, Lao Zhang, as a father, showed no sign of cowardice. Even before he died, he endured the pain and fear and taught his son a lesson called 'death'. But when he turned around, he called everyone After leaving the ward, he held his own hand and cried like a helpless child.

"Uncle Zhang, you are here."

When Lu Zhengyi came to the ward, in addition to his family, there were also some of his father's friends.

Among them, the one he was most familiar with was, of course, Zhang Changmou.

"Ayi, alas."

Zhang Changmou sighed and walked over and patted his shoulder, "I received a call a few days ago that he fell. I was still filming an important scene in another place. I thought I would wait until the filming stabilized before coming over, but... "

The result is that they are never seen again.

Human death is often sudden.

"We didn't have time to see him for the last time."

Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "My old man is very proud of his face and doesn't want others to see his vulnerable side."

"When I'm here, he can still chat with me."

"When I go back home, he won't be able to hold on anymore."

People are very special. Sometimes, for the sake of face, they can swallow no matter how painful it is.

Obviously when I have a high fever at home, I have to have someone beside me to give me water when I lie down. But once I get dressed and go out to the hospital, I feel like a new person. My back is straightened and I feel energetic. The high fever of 39° also seems to be different. It's like fading away.

When he was there, Lu Yiyong seemed fine.

But as soon as he walked away, I didn't know if he was thinking about something, but his physical condition deteriorated rapidly.

"It's the same in front of me, he also has this temper."

Zhang Changmou certainly knew his old friend’s character very well.

The two didn't talk much, after all, there were still a lot of things to do now.

After the death certificate is obtained, it is time to contact the funeral home. In addition, there are also friends and relatives Lu Yiyong had made before his death who need to be notified. Then there are public relations matters, and try to avoid reporters who come after hearing the news. Make the scene chaotic.

As long as people take care of this step, there will actually be no trouble later.

Transportation, flowers, coffins, venues...the funeral home can arrange many things in place, instead of having to do everything by yourself like before. More importantly, the personnel should inform this aspect.

Some people may not even know their relatives at home, and they may not even have their phone numbers, let alone inform them of something.

But fortunately, Lu Zhengyi also has his mother helping to coordinate.

His mother still has contact with those relatives.

In addition, as a public figure and one of the top directors in the country, the news of Lu Yiyong's death cannot be kept secret like Zhang Yu did. He has a huge fan base, and these people should all know about it.

……

Compared with Yu, the hospital is solemn.

The premiere of Bixian was extremely lively.

On the stage, the film's creative team stood on top, including director Li Chuanxin, starring Yu Wenxiu, and even publicity representatives sent by investors.

Down below, there were spectators in every seat, including those in the more remote corners.

At the moment before the film was officially released, director Lu Zhengyi, who had already been recognized by the audience, placed himself in the position of producer of the film, and many unnecessary voices were suppressed at once.

People's hearts are biased, and they will always have a favorable impression of movies recommended by people they admire.

At least be willing to give it a try.

Therefore, on the premise that it is not a film shot by Zhengyi Lu, the premiere of Bixian was rarely filled with horror films.

Of course, the kind of films that arrange for one's own people to be present in advance are not counted.

Other projects undertaken by Light and Shadow may have this emergency measure, but projects related to Lu Zhengyi have never been able to do so.

But when there are all real audiences, the scene will be more difficult to control.

Especially in today's era of prosperous self-media.

"I'm at the premiere of Bixian now. After watching the movie just now, I feel a little bad now." "Hello everyone, this is Polly's channel. You can guess where I am now?"

"Tell me what I want to ask when I get on stage later..."

Either live broadcasting or shooting videos, there are many men and women in the audience holding cameras pointed at themselves, while using the creative team on the stage as a backdrop.

Similar situations occur not only at movie premieres, but also at many concerts and theaters.

On the stage, although Li Chuanxin kept a smile on his face, he felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

Anyone who watches this scene will inevitably think, 'These people are not here to watch the movie, but to follow the trending searches.' This is very uncomfortable for a diligent creator. matter.

It took three years and a lot of effort to finally make the film.

Although he kept saying, 'try it', Li Chuanxin certainly wanted to succeed in his heart.

It is the pursuit of every creator to have carefully created content that is carefully read and recognized by others.

But now the performance of these people seems to have stopped at the first step of 'serious reading'.

And if you don’t watch the movie seriously, how can you get positive feedback?

"That boy wearing a white peaked cap and a black down jacket, yes, yes, it's you." On the stage, Li Chuanxin followed the host's instructions and randomly clicked on the audience in the auditorium to interact, "I want to ask, What do you think of the movie just now?”

Although it is said to be random, I don't know if it is the influence of impression.

Li Chuanxin chose a self-media blogger who was shooting with a camera.

"It's quite satisfactory, a little surprising."

However, after the self-media blogger stood up, he did not say something like, 'The movie is very nice' or 'The creative team has worked hard...'. Instead, he gave a satisfactory evaluation.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am a lover of horror and thriller works. Whether it is games, movies, or literature, I am very interested in it. I am quite famous on the Internet, and I have a very good taste."

"Actually, Director Li's films have a lot to praise. In the ordinary thriller and horror category, your work is successful compared with some of the more famous horror works from other countries. This makes me very surprised. You are a good director and you take this horror film seriously."

"Whether it's the acting skills of the actors, the storyboarding of the plot, the movement of the camera... in all aspects, it can be said that he is full of sincerity. Lu Zhengyi posted on Weibo that he admires you very much. I think it is pertinent, although it is a little bit... Arrogant, but after watching the film, as a senior horror lover, I also appreciate you. "

Although he gave me a fair evaluation, the audience who took the microphone first praised him.

"Of course, I'm talking about the ordinary track."

"If it were me a few years ago, I would probably be a very fanatical fan of yours, but now, I think your works are still a little less interesting. From all aspects, you are obviously very serious, but where exactly? , I can’t tell.”

"But it's just not as scary as Director Lu's works, but this may just be my personal fan filter."

He thought about it for a while before giving such a word.

It is very common to criticize Lu Zhengyi's film as being better than Li Chuanxin's film. This was his first thought after watching the film.

But the second thought was an accident.

Surprisingly, besides Lu Zhengyi, there are still people in China who can make horror movies well.

Finally, there is doubt, wondering what is the difference between the two.

As a blogger who produces high-quality videos, he does not do things solely based on personal preferences. Even on many hot topics, he never deliberately takes sides. He often acts as an analyst and analyzes hot topics from all aspects.

And this also means that he is a rational person and needs evidence to do things.

Even if you want to judge something, you need evidence so that you can prove your opinion to the viewers who watch his video.

But the current situation is that he can't find any evidence to prove that Lu Zhengyi's film is better than Li Chuanxin.

"Of course, of course, my film will definitely not be as good as Director Lu. I already felt this the moment I saw the finished film."

Li Chuanxin did not deny this, "Furthermore, Director Lu also participated in the revision of the script and gave a lot of opinions, so there is nothing to compare between us. Actually, because this is also Director Lu's work, even if He did not participate in the filming, but storyboard creation is also an important part of the filming.”

He is nearly forty years old and has been in this business for a long time.

Although in the category of horror films, he is very young.

In front of Lu Zhengyi, he acted very reserved.

But in front of other people, it was different. He seemed very smooth.

In fact, when Li Chuanxin first met Lu Zhengyi, he seemed very tactful. It was only after meeting again and again that he became cautious.

And because of what the audience said, he began to take it seriously.

Perhaps, I am too biased.

Just because the other party was filming with a camera and was a video blogger, I unilaterally believed that the other party was here to gain traffic, that the other party was not paying attention to watching the film, and that the other party was not interested in this type of film at all...

"Hello, could you please tell me more specifically about your feelings watching director Lu Zhengyi's film and this film?"

Originally, each audience member could only have one question, but when Li Chuanxin heard that the other party had read a lot of films and was very interested in this genre, he couldn't help but ask another question.

"Because I have watched my own films and also studied Director Lu's films."

"Although I am a director myself, in terms of shooting techniques, composition, color, music... I actually think that I have done a good job in all aspects, but there are still some shortcomings, and I don't even know how. To make amends.”

"Is it a shortcoming in the subject matter, or is it, like you said, that there is a filter, and I have a fear of Director Lu's film before I even see it in my heart."

He explained again.

The self-media blogger originally planned to sit down and handed the microphone back.

Hearing these questions, he tightened his grip on the microphone, but did not speak.

At the scene, there were also many people secretly thinking about this issue.

why?
A very special scene occurred in the originally lively venue.

Most people stopped talking in unison because they couldn't think of the answer to the question that came to their mind.

As a person who is very interested in the directing profession and has a serious work attitude, Li Chuanxin's works can give the audience a sincere sense of familiarity from all aspects, which is the same as Lu Zhengyi.

However, there is a gap between them, and in fact, the gap is not small.

"Probably...after watching Director Lu's film, I couldn't get out of it. I felt like I was trapped in it."

After a while, the self-media blogger finally spoke up, "But for Director Li's film, I feel like I am an audience, I am just watching the movie. No, no, I am just watching the movie. What I mean is …”

The order of his words was a little confusing and not as clear as when he answered before.

What do you mean, I was just watching a movie.

Aren’t you watching a movie yourself?

Are you really experiencing something?
The audience who answered the question was very confused.
