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

Chapter 383 [Are You Really Willing to Forget]

I don’t know if it’s because he remembered it again that the scene was more profound, or for some other reason, but Li Chuanxin was in a state of confusion.

When he arrived in Beidu, he didn't even want to stay in a hotel and insisted on staying at Lu Zhengyi's house.

It seems that only by staying with each other can you feel a little bit of peace of mind.

But after all, they knew each other, and in the field of horror thrillers, Lu Zhengyi could be considered half his master, so he did not chase him away, but let him stay here for one night.

Early in the morning, after they finished their breakfast, they headed towards Qingniu Mountain.

"I, are we going to make me forget again now?"

Li Chuanxin asked in a low voice, his tone very weak, sitting in the co-pilot seat.

His face was very pale and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was a person who had not exercised for many years and was forced to run for more than ten kilometers.

There is a sense of déjà vu, as if the person seems to be sitting here, but has been gone for some time.

The corpse is talking.

"decide as things go."

Lawrence Lu drove the car and hesitated for a moment, “Then are you willing to forget it?”

"Of course!" Li Chuanxin replied without hesitation, his voice becoming a little stronger. "Forgetting those things is much better than being suspicious and confused all day long. At least I can still live a normal life."

In this situation, not to mention work, even his daily life has been affected.

No matter where you go, you will be suspicious.

The quality of sleep is almost non-existent. It is more like I was so tired that I fainted rather than falling asleep.

Every day I keep the lights on and my eyes wide open. Even if I fall asleep due to exhaustion, I will be awakened immediately by any noise and get up to check. I am sure I will suffer from neurasthenia, but if I keep it up, maybe...

"Every profession has its own expertise. I don't understand this aspect either." Lu Zhengyi said regretfully, "But I will try my best to find someone who can help you solve this matter."

Some people are willing to remember, while others are not.

"Thank you, thank you Director Lu, thank you!"

Li Chuanxin said gratefully that ordinary people would be helpless if they encountered such a thing.

He now has a feeling that everyone else is drunk but he is the only one sober.

People around me don’t understand what condition I’m in. They just think I’m sick and need to take medicine.

If I hadn't met Yu Wenxiu and thus Lu Zhengyi, I might have been admitted to the hospital.

Then, as the patient continued to take various medicines, he became really sick.

"but……"

But Lu Zhengyi suddenly changed the subject and said, "Didn't you ask me before what was missing from the movie you made with me that made such a big difference?"

When this was mentioned, Li Chuanxin, who had been very anxious, paused.

"……Could it be that."

During the days he remembered again, he was worried every day, his nerves always tense about the situation around him.

There is not even time to think calmly.

Now that he was reminded, Li Chuanxin suddenly felt a little dazed.

"You and I……"

As he thought, the fear and panic on Li Chuanxin's face gradually faded away. At first he was confused, and then as he thought, some other emotions gradually appeared on his face.

Emotions other than negative.

"So, so that's how it is. No wonder... No wonder!"

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Lu Zhengyi who was driving.

There was suddenly a glimmer of light in those bloodshot and tired eyes.

It’s like when you are sick, you are feeling low and physically exhausted, but when you think about the arrival of those computer accessories you bought a few days ago, you suddenly feel a little more energetic.

Then, he was even able to force himself to go downstairs to pick up the express delivery and take the time to assemble the computer.

"So, Director Lu, the reason why you can shoot those works and conceive so many real scenes..."

Li Chuanxin's tone was no longer filled with fear and uneasiness.

When doing something you are particularly interested in, whether it is pain or some other situation, it will be overshadowed by the excitement brought by the surge of adrenaline.

In Li Chuanxin's brain, the extremely clear memories of the past few days were gradually unraveled. Darkness enveloped them like fog, and the flames on the torches looked like scarlet eyeballs in the darkness...

These clips are covered with the pen fairy he had previously photographed.

“If it was shot like this, the shot would be placed here.”

"If only we could get those weasels out to help and have them appear on camera."

"if……"

The dried-up inspiration gushed out like a spring at this moment. Li Chuanxin even thought that if he were to shoot the Pen Fairy now, the quality of his previous works would definitely be one or two levels higher.

From the composition, from the color, from the plot, from the lens...

There is room for improvement in many, many areas!
It is difficult for people to imagine something they have never seen. Just like in many science fiction films, aliens and monsters are always portrayed with "humans" as the prototype. They have limbs, intelligence, can speak, and look...

In addition to aliens, there are also gods, fairies, angels, demons, and many other beings that are clearly not "human". However, when humans create them, they always add "human" elements into them.

Those are beyond cognition.

Even if some screenwriters, directors, and authors can rely on fantasy to portray those existences and those plots, it is ultimately limited.

Only by truly experiencing and seeing it can one create sufficiently realistic and colorful pictures and plots.

"Limited by inherent cognition, the pen fairy I photographed is, after all, a female ghost, the image of a female ghost that is well known to people."

"A group of ignorant and daring high school students touched a taboo, used a psychic game to get involved with the Pen Fairy, and were killed as a result."

“No matter how well I make this story, it’s just, just…”

Li Chuanxin used difficult words to convey his thoughts to Lu Zhengyi, who was also a "director".

"a story."

Lu Zhengyi helped him summarize, "It's a fake story. One hundred percent of the content is fake. It's a story created by the screenwriter and you, the director, based on your imagination."

"Not to mention the audience, even the creators of these two works just regard this as a story."

"From the very beginning, the perception is that it is fake. Even if you shoot it carefully, there will still be defects in the finished product."

In some special effects dramas and fairy tales, when the actors loudly shout out "transformation", "God", "with my dragon soul, I invite the red lotus to be upon my body, and angrily call upon the evil spirits of the flames of karma from all directions to burn..."

Such lines and move names.

Sometimes it's normal for the audience to feel awkward outside the screen.

Because directors, screenwriters, actors... all feel embarrassed because they are creating something beyond their cognition and it is aimed at adults.

However, if these contents are aimed at children, children with childlike innocence and imagination may be more receptive to them, will not feel embarrassed, and may even play role-playing games at school.

Children's cognition has not yet been solidified, so their level of acceptance is higher than that of adults.

Therefore, every generation has its own classics in its hearts.

But what if the people who filmed these contents have really seen gods?
Would they still create this work with that awkward mentality?
If an actor on the set really created something like sword energy or light waves out of thin air, would the audience still find it embarrassing?

If there is another layer of "immortal" existence in people's cognition, then perhaps fairy tale dramas and special effects dramas will no longer be "myth" or "magic" themes, but will be attributed to action films.

Because those things can be actually done by audiences in real life, those films that were evaluated as "awkward films" and "you dare not watch them for even three seconds..." may become masterpieces.

This is the influence of cognition.

But now, Li Chuanxin's inherent cognition has been broken.

"As long as I know that those things really exist in this world," Li Chuanxin murmured, "and even when I have seen them with my own eyes, the Pen Fairy actually does not have to be the image of a female ghost who died unjustly." It can be other images, constructed by other plots.

What he directs is no longer a 100% fictional world, but a 20% real plot with real prototype characters in reality.

The higher the degree of realism, the more natural the image presented through the lens will be.

Even if one day in the future...

"Are you willing to forget?"

But just when Li Chuanxin was thinking about these things excitedly, Lu Zhengyi directly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"This……"

Li Chuanxin froze.

Although it was only a brief thought, he was certain that recognizing these facts would be of great help to him as a director and an artist.

Do I really want to forget all this?

"If you don't forget, remembering this kind of thing, the mere impact of cognition will have a huge impact on your life."

Lu Zhengyi was driving and kindly gave a reminder.

"Director Lu..."

Li Chuanxin's tone sounded somewhat helpless.

Is this a hope that I can forget, or is it a hope that I don't?

If you don't want it, just don't remind yourself.

When you don't know anything, you don't have to make any choices.

But now...

"What others say is just a process. The choice made by the parties themselves is the result." Lu Zhengyi drove the car with a calm face. "As long as you don't regret it, whatever choice you make is right."

……

……

The change of the abbot of Qingniu Temple did not affect the surrounding tourists.

Even many people don’t know about this.

Climbing mountains, burning incense, praying, taking photos... They came here for a purpose, and Lu Zhengyi was among those who climbed the mountain, but the two of them seemed a little out of place with the others.

"Remember the last time I came to Qingniu Mountain, I was also here for tourism."

After the conversation in the car, Li Chuanxin's mentality changed a little.

He had only considered the bad side before, so of course he couldn't wait to resolve it.

But now that I know these things, it seems that there is also a good side...

"haven't seen you for a long time."

At the entrance of Qingniu Temple, Taoist Master Guanshan, who had not been seen for some time, was standing at the door and bowed.

Compared to the last time we met, there hasn't been much change in his appearance, body shape, or demeanor.

And no matter what kind of people walked by, they would inevitably look at him.

To be more precise, he looked at Zhou Jie who was beside him.

Since the last time Tomie finished filming, she seemed to have been following Taoist Master Guanshan and accepting the work arranged by him. As for her job as an actor, she should have given it up.

However, when Lu Zhengyi approached, the people around him slowly turned their eyes away.

"It seems that you, as the temple master, are not doing an easy job."

Lu Zhengyi smiled, bowed, and returned the greeting.

Then, he introduced Taoist Guanshan and Zhou Jie to Li Chuanxin next to him.

Director Li stood nearby, not daring to say much. After saying hello, he waited quietly.

"You say you're retired, but there's still a lot to do." Taoist Guanshan greeted, "But you're really free now. I heard... you don't even shoot any movies anymore?"

"Have you heard all this?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little surprised. "How come you, who is in charge of strange news, are also paying attention to the film and television industry?"

"I'm in your group too."

Taoist Master Guanshan replied, "Although I don't talk often, I still read from time to time."

"You're not the only one in your crew who's causing trouble. I have to pay attention to it."

"Their latest news is all about whether you are going to quit the circle. I can't help but know."

At this point, he paused and said, "Okay, let's not stand here anymore."

"I'd better get someone to see what's going on."

Li Chuanxin recalled that this matter could be a big deal or a small one.

If it's small, that's just his personal matter, and it's enough to comfort one person.

But if his situation is not an isolated case, then things would be more delicate.

Human life span is limited. Within a hundred years, they have handled more than a hundred incidents, involving quite a few people.

It would be troublesome if these people, like Li Chuanxin, recovered their memories of these special events.

Several people entered Qingniu Temple and, led by Taoist Master Guanshan, entered the inner hall.

But he was not the one who solved the problem.

Taoist Master Guanshan does not have the ability to make people forget.

In the center of the inner hall, there is a huge stone statue.

In front of the stone statue, there is an incense altar filled with incense ash for who knows how many years.

There is a quiet room on both sides of the inner hall.

"Come in, Director Li. People are already waiting in the quiet room." Taoist Master Guanshan looked at him standing there motionless and reminded him, "Director Lu and I have other things to discuss."

Li Chuanxin stood in front of the quiet room on the left, feeling a little hesitant.

He didn't know whether he should choose to forget this memory or continue to remember it.

But when Taoist Guanshan called out to him, Li Chuanxin was stunned, and he took a step forward faster than he thought.

Having taken this step, he entered the house.

Lu Zhengyi looked at him, shook his head and went into the quiet room on the other side.

"What do you want to ask?"

He asked as he walked.

Nowadays, offense and defense alternate.

In the past, when Taoist Master Guanshan chatted with him, he was always hesitant and vague, for fear that he would say something he shouldn't and be tricked by him into extracting some information.

But now they already know where Lu Zhengyi came from, so it is Taoist Guanshan and his people who have to ask him.

"Ah, I've been getting busier lately."

After entering the quiet room, Taoist Master Guanshan closed the door and did not even let Zhou Jie in. He seemed to be complaining and said, "My current situation seems to be retirement, but in fact I have retreated to the second line to be a teacher and nanny for others."

"You don't know, more and more practitioners have emerged in recent years."

"It's really strange. Decades ago, our entire department searched all over Tang Country, and we were lucky enough to meet one new person every few years. But now? We have several new people every year!"
