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

Chapter 377 [Finishing]

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

At the end of May,
When the shooting of the last shot was completed, the filming of the horror cruise ship also came to an end.

The tightly closed tent was opened, and a strong and sturdy man walked out from inside. He bowed and thanked every staff member in the crew. Everyone had been filming very seriously during the past few months.

Next, Lu Zhengyi took another photo with everyone, ate something together, celebrated briefly, and then left in a hurry.

"I feel like Mr. Lu Zhengyi seems a little different from the last time we met." Jason watched Lu Zhengyi leave thoughtfully, "He used to be quite talkative, but now he seems... a little serious."

When they were filming Twin Eyes together before, they would sit down and chat about the script and filming whenever they had time.

At that time, Lu Zhengyi gave people a very talkative feeling.

Whether it was with his foreign friend, familiar staff members in the crew, or those temporarily hired extras, he could chat with everyone.

He looks very warm and approachable.

But during this shoot, the number of times Jason and Lu Zhengyi met could be counted on one hand.

Most of the time, he would stay in the monitoring room, watching the on-site filming through the monitor, and then instructing others through the headset about the filming details.

Although from a career perspective, Jason can understand it.

After all, Lu Zhengyi was just a small director a few years ago, but now he is an international director with a global reputation. He will definitely not do everything by himself like before, and will assign some small things to other people.

But in terms of personality, the change is too great.

"After all, several years have passed..." Bai Wei explained quietly beside him, "Let's go back to the hotel and rest. Assistant Wang has booked a restaurant for tonight and invited some of the friends who worked with us this time."

After the filming is completed, of course it is the Commerce Bureau.

Lu Zhengyi strictly prohibited outsiders from interfering in the crew's activities during filming.

But he does not interfere in the business affairs after the filming is completed.

Let's take this opportunity to consolidate the position of the entire crew here so that we can expand the scale of subsequent development.

"Will Mr. Lu go?"

Jason asked, turning his head.

"Director Lu, he has other things to do."

Bai Wei shook his head. In the past, Lu Zhengyi might have participated in such a business bureau, but now there is no need for him to do so.

Whether it is in the crew or in the lighting and shadow department, there are many people who can help him accomplish this task.

"Anything else..."

Jason muttered.

"I won't go tonight. Sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to."

He stared at Lu Zhengyi's back as he left, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and said hello, "I'm leaving first."

Without staying long, Jason left after learning that Director Lu would not participate in the subsequent business affairs bureau.

Bai Wei didn't say much to persuade them. For some smaller actors, this kind of thing was beyond their control.

But having reached Jason's position, whether he is willing to go or not is now a matter of personal will.

But he always felt that Jason seemed to want to do something.

"Brother Zhi."

After thinking for a while, Bai Wei called Liu Mingzhi who was passing by and said, "Go drive and send Jason and the others back to the hotel. By the way... take care of him. He is not going to attend the Business Bureau meeting later tonight."

Liu Mingzhi was still cleaning up the place when he was suddenly called and was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he nodded.

Take care of it.

This sentence is considered a code word in the crew. Often when those who are unaware or have just joined the crew discover something in the crew, they will use this sentence to hint to each other to pay more attention to this person.

"Don't go."

However, Yu Wenxiu came over and called out to Liu Mingzhi, who was about to leave, "Do you think there is anything in this world that can bother Director Lu?"

Bai Wei was stunned.

After a while, he nodded, "Yes."

He was mainly worried that after the filming was completed, Lu Zhengyi would go find the puppeteer that Jason had mentioned before.

Jason's previous attempt was too obvious.

Many people have tried similar things since their crew was founded.

So it was not difficult for Bai Wei to guess that Jason's refusal tonight's business might be related to Lu Zhengyi, and maybe he wanted to follow him.

But Yu Wenxiu was right, this kind of thing was not something ordinary people like them should worry about.

"Don't worry, Ayi will go back tonight." However, during their conversation, Xu Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "He won't go to find the puppeteer."

"why?"

Bai Wei and others looked puzzled.

Even Yu Wenxiu had the same expression.

In the past, after hearing about these things, Lu Zhengyi would go there secretly after the filming was completed.

When we meet again next time, there are always some strange objects or new employees around us.

"I told him about this before." Xu Feng replied with a wry smile, "But he asked me to contact Taoist Guanshan and others for help if I'm interested, and then communicate and cooperate."

"He said that Taoist Master Guanshan and his team are specifically responsible for handling such incidents and would be happy to assist me."

"But...it's weird. Is he planning to retire?"

Although retiring in one’s thirties is the dream of many workers.

However, Lu Zhengyi's career is now booming. After shooting this film and officially entering the Western market, his reputation has changed from a well-known director in Dongzhou to a world-renowned director.

If he can get good results and make more films, his name will be recorded in the international film history.

but now……

"Probably... not that much."

Bai Wei was a little dazed.

Retired? In other words, no longer filming?
Although he said this, he inexplicably had a thought in his heart that this might be true!
Because in the past two years, Director Lu's condition is indeed different from before.

Especially after filming Tomie, it seems that I am not as passionate about my work as before.

In the recent horror film, Director Lu seems to have started to feel a sense of boundaries with them, and their relationship is no longer as harmonious as before.

But what should they do? What should their employees do?

"But Director Lu, hasn't he always taken filming very seriously?" Liu Mingzhi was about to leave, but after hearing these words, he got anxious and stopped. "He's not filming anymore, so why is he going? Didn't we agree to lead everyone to the top?"

“I haven’t paid off my mortgage yet!”

"Why doesn't Director Lu take responsibility for what he said?"

He and several other newcomers joined the crew during the filming of The Grudge.

Since I joined the group late, I certainly don’t have much experience.

At least, compared to the old guys like Bai Wei, Ajie, Wei Kang and others who have followed Lu Zhengyi from the early days to the present, they do not have independent abilities, let alone independent agents.

They have not yet achieved the so-called financial freedom.

Like him, he hasn't even paid off his mortgage yet. The main reason is that Lu Zhengyi's team has such high development potential that he bought a big bungalow irrationally!
An ordinary family bought a big bungalow. If he loses this job, how can he pay back the money?

The expressions of the others were the same.

They couldn't imagine what Lu Zhengyi's life would be like without filming.

After all, ever since I met this person, the impression he gave me was that work comes first.

And work is just about filming.

If he doesn't shoot movies anymore, what can he do with all his free time? Just stay at home and take care of the kids? Is he still Director Lu?
"Mingzhi, I remember Director Lu only explained one plan at the beginning."

But compared to others, Yu Wenxiu was quite calm, recalling, "He said that as long as you are in his crew, you don't have to worry about other miscellaneous problems. As long as you shoot the play well, you will definitely get the money."

"In fact, he distributed the money to everyone according to the rules he set for each play."

"I'm an actor, so my commission may be different. But Xiaowei, who was in charge of the production like you, made at least tens of millions of yuan in Director Lu's crew before he became the assistant director, excluding any commission. If you were in other crews, you might never get this much in your lifetime."

Not to mention a lifetime, you won’t be able to get it in several lifetimes.

How is it possible for a script supervisor to earn tens of millions?

Other people's script supervisors, even if they are experienced, are paid based on salary. No matter what kind of work you are responsible for in the crew or how hard you work, you will get a fixed salary, which is equivalent to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.

Although there are quite a few, it is not as good as the ones in Lu Zhengyi's crew.

He really doesn't take money seriously and is really willing to share it with his employees.

"But……"

Liu Mingzhi murmured, but was unable to speak.

After being refuted by Yu Wenxiu, he thought about it carefully and of course remembered that what Lu Zhengyi was talking about were the benefits of work.

As for life, he rarely intervenes.

At most, it was just a compensation for those special events. If any of them encountered any of them, they could contact him and he would help.

Other than that, he did not promise anything like a worry-free second half of life.

But...but in this society, how can one retire in his thirties?

Even those who have no money or power have to work as long as they reach retirement age.

There is no other choice but to work.

I am rich and powerful, and have reached retirement age, but I still feel that I haven't done enough.

That's unwillingness to give up rights.

Thirty-somethings are the best time to be healthy, how can we waste such a good time...

"It seems that work is just a hobby for Director Lu." Yu Wenxiu seemed to be thinking about something. "I thought that he was so keen on filming for some other reason..."

This is not the first time they have discussed this issue.

Why would a person like that, or Director Lu who can be described as a "god", like such an "ordinary" job as filming?

Shouldn't it be a more "noble" and "greater" career? Like a scientist, investigator, detective, etc., a more admirable job, rather than a simple "director" who rehearses for "actors".

In the past, when faced with this problem, Director Lu would always use the word "like" to describe it.

But they didn't believe it.

They all thought that his behavior had a deeper meaning.

Maybe even the people like Guanshan Taoist felt that Director Lu’s behavior had a deeper meaning.

They always feel that a great person should do great things and pursue great ideals.

But is it possible that when you reach a height like Lu Zhengyi, you can completely throw away all kinds of "constraints" when doing something? In the concept of ordinary people, you have to go to school hard, study hard, work hard, make money to support your family... and so on. These are the cognitions that have been instilled little by little since birth.

"Freedom, absolute freedom."

Yu Wenxiu walked away muttering, and she had a new understanding of spiritual practice.

She is not like Zhou Jie, who is obsessed with this aspect, wants to become an immortal, and is immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.

Although she embarked on this path, she always insisted on her work.

Just as Lu Zhengyi likes filming, she also really likes acting, as always.

But after all, she is on this road, and after feeling those extraordinary powers, Yu Wenxiu does not want to go back.

She is not obsessed, nor does she pursue it excessively, but she does not want to give up.

So sometimes, she would think about one thing.

She chose this path because of her love for acting and some good fortune.

So if one day, she no longer likes it, will this path be cut off?

Or in other words, go back.

Either way, it wasn't what she wanted.

But Yu Wenxiu had no way of guaranteeing that she would always like acting.

She didn't even believe that there was someone in this world who could remain passionate about something from beginning to end.

Unless this person's life is short.

……

Jason naturally couldn't see what he wanted to see.

Lu Zhengyi did not attend the evening Business Bureau meeting, and he did have his own things to do.

But he did not go to any puppet theater. He boarded a plane to Tang State. He was going home.

When Jason left the airport disappointed, he did not realize that the flight Lu Zhengyi was on was a little special.

"It seems that things are not as bad as you think." Next to Lu Zhengyi, there was a skinny old man sitting, an old man with wrinkled body and skin wrapped around bones. "After all, it is a spiritual creature and has wisdom."

"He can sense the danger, so he will definitely not go back in the wind and rain. After all, improving the living environment is one thing, but if it endangers his own life, then the dirty floor does not have to be swept clean."

"It's just a matter of stance. There's a movie called Rise of the Planet of the Apes recently. You can go watch it if you have time. It's quite interesting. But isn't it a bit too high-profile to send a special plane to pick me up?"

What he was referring to, of course, was the spiritual creature that left Xiangcheng.

It has been several years since Taoist Guanshan mentioned this matter to him, but there is still no movement from the spiritual creature.

From the other person's perspective, human existence has affected his living environment to a certain extent.

Since it is dirty, it must be swept clean.

And humans, of course, will resist.

But when the power of human resistance is strong enough to hurt him, he will certainly consider whether the land should be swept.

"It's mainly because I want to come here for a visit, and now is the only time I have the chance." The old man replied in a very hoarse voice, "I'm different from you. It's not easy for me to come here with my identity. They are very averse to people like us entering the country."

"Movies? Haha... I may not have time to watch them."

"You can probably tell that my time is almost up."

The person who came was none other than the Immortal Qingjing who was in the Qingniu Temple.

The uncle of Taoist Guanshan.

At this moment, he no longer looked like the young man in his twenties as when we first met, but now looked like an old man who was about to die.

He is going to die.
