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

Chapter 399 [Who is right]

When athletes get older, do their bodies age faster than those of ordinary people?
From a scientific point of view, athletes need long periods of training when they are young, with high intensity training and constantly pushing their limits, which will cause wear and tear on all parts of the body.

When they get older, according to normal logic, athletes will age faster than ordinary people, and will experience more severe pain in various parts of the body, which can be considered an occupational disease.

Are extreme sports dangerous?

From a rational point of view, of course, people make mistakes and horses stumble.

No matter how strong your physique is or how skilled your skills are, you may die in the process of climbing and jumping again and again.

But why do they persist?

Even if it is not such a great career or dream, but just an ordinary life, eating fried chicken, drinking Coke, staying up late...

When doing these things, don’t people know that these things will affect their health?
Don’t you know that this is a slow death?

I know. Of course I will do it.

Although people are sometimes afraid of death, and will pray to gods and see doctors when they encounter minor disasters or illnesses, they often do things that are contradictory to each other.

Afraid of death, but not too afraid of death.

"There seems to be some danger in the country recently."

After receiving the reminder from Taoist Master Guanshan, Lu Zhengyi contacted the crew of "Midnight Ring" currently filming in China, "I suggest you withdraw first."

Li Chuanxin was silent on the phone for a long time before he spoke, "Danger, danger?"

"For some reason, some places called 'holy places' have suddenly become lively." Lu Zhengyi explained, "They are places dedicated to suicide."

"I really don't know why places like that are treated as places to visit or attractions."

"In short, I heard that there are quite a lot of people involved, and it will be a bit troublesome. It may take some time to handle it over there."

He paused and said, "But it's not that dangerous. I'm just worried that you'll be unlucky enough to run into him."

"After a while, the Tang people over there should all receive text message notifications, reminding them not to go to certain places. As long as they don't go, nothing should happen."

There was no large-scale reminder to the Tang people to withdraw, so it was not a big event.

Moreover, in this era, no major events will happen for the time being.

"Since it's not that dangerous, I want to continue filming." Li Chuanxin hesitated, "After all, there is the stone statue that Director Lu gave me. Doesn't that stone statue have the function of... warding off evil spirits?"

"Yes, of course the operation process is a bit complicated. If something really happens, you may not be able to react in time." Lu Zhengyi replied, "Besides you, there are other people in your crew, right?"

Li Chuanxin had no way to answer for others.

"…Sorry, I didn't think enough." Li Chuanxin apologized, "I will ask them what they think when they receive a text message."

Lu Zhengyi held the phone and thought for a moment.

This is a common problem among most people in high positions. They will unconsciously make decisions for those under them, even if it involves their lives.

They would habitually say, "The weather is hot, and people might get sick from the heat. Please increase the high temperature allowance," instead of "The weather is hot, and people might get sick from the heat. Are you willing to continue working?"

We should put the overall situation first.

"Ayong."

Lu Zhengyi looked behind him and saw Ayong lying there with his eyes squinting, thinking about something.

Hearing him shout, he opened his mouth and yawned.

"Are you interested in going to Heguo? Director Li is filming there, you can go over and help out, be a security guard or something." He asked, "You may know Director Li and Xiao Feng in their crew."

"……Meow."

Ayong hesitated, stood up and nodded.

It's possible to go out and see how others film.

"Thank you so much, Director Lu!"

The phone was not hung up, and Lu Zhengyi's voice, of course, reached Li Chuanxin's ears.

Although he couldn't understand cat language, he knew everything was settled after hearing these words, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, I'll see how to arrange for him to go there." Lu Zhengyi replied, "Wait for my news, and then let Xu Feng pick him up."

"No problem, of course no problem."

Li Chuanxin quickly replied, "We provide transportation, food and lodging, everything. Even if Mr. Yong doesn't want to do anything and just comes to our crew to sit down, that's fine too!"

What's the difference between this and inviting a god to take charge of the crew?

The people invited here are not just those with empty reputation. Those who can be sent by Director Lu must have real ability.

Without further conversation, Lu Zhengyi hung up the phone.

He provided as much help as he could.

As for whether Li Chuanxin would ask for other people's opinions after hanging up the phone, he didn't want to think about it or ask further.

"When you get there, be careful. You know the situation over there. It's different from here." Lu Zhengyi looked at A Yong who had already stood up, "I'll help you contact the Taoist priest and see if there's any way to send you over."

"When the time comes, if the Taoist priest needs any help, you can lend a hand."

"If we encounter one of our own who is in trouble, we should try to help as much as possible. Of course, we should try as much as possible. If we can't do it, then forget it."

Ayong nodded and replied.

He seemed eager to try.

……

……

"So, Ayong is willing to contact the outside world?"

Through the video, Lu Zhengyi was at home, reporting the situation at home to his wife.

Now it's the other way around.

In the past, Zhang Xueming was always at home while he was away from home. But in recent years, the situation has been reversed. She has always been away on business trips while he is at home.

"Actually, I don't think Yong is unwilling to contact the outside world."

Lu Zhengyi recalled his reaction today, "Perhaps, he should have no place to go out, no reason or goal to go out."

"It's like some people who only go back and forth between work and home. They don't socialize with their colleagues after get off work and often play games alone."

"Over time, I would just stay at home and order takeout after get off work, doing repetitive things aimlessly. Even if I wanted to go out, there was no suitable opportunity."

There was no one to invite me out, and I had no reason to go out.

"How are you today?"

But soon, he asked about his wife's health again.

Although I took leave early yesterday and went home to rest.

But early this morning, she boarded a plane to Haicheng to inspect the event site.

"is acceptable."

Zhang Xueming responded as usual, and it was hard to hear words like "I feel bad, I need help, it hurts" from her mouth that were straightforward and pleading.

Listening to her words and observing her expression, Lu Zhengyi felt a little relieved and continued:

"I talked to Director Li today. His filming is almost halfway through."

"If everything goes well, it should be released this year."

"It's March now, and we should be able to wrap up in May or June. With some further processing, it should be ready before the end of the year. Considering the market, this project has a high weight."

Zhang Xueming replied:
"I know. I have handed this project over to Wang Yao. If there is anything that needs to be authorized, I will approve it as soon as possible." "Of course, the premise of these things is that Director Li's film can be shot well and your popularity in the country can be gathered."

"I heard that he didn't seem to invite any special people, or get any items. Didn't Wang Xiaoxu go to help? Judging from the script, he should be quite suitable."

The movie "The Ring" has a similar atmosphere to "The Grudge", "The Village Ghost" and "The Ghost in the Origin".

Set a rule that is contaminated with resentment. As long as you touch the rule, you will be contaminated and killed by the resentful ghost.

In Ju-Jou, it is about entering the house, or coming into contact with people who have entered the house; in The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village, it is about drinking water; in The Ghostly Ghost, it is about playing a psychic game; and in The Ring, it is about watching a videotape.

Everyone who has seen the videotape will be obsessed with Sadako.

For this type of film, Wang Xiaoxu's illusion skills can definitely bring out the best in the film.

But Li Chuanxin didn't seem to invite him.

"No, Xiaoxu is busy with his game." Lu Zhengyi replied regretfully, "I asked him for help, but his attitude was rather awkward, so I didn't force him."

Wang Xiaoxu and Li Chuanxin don't have any special relationship.

It can even be said that we have hardly met each other at all.

Rather than traveling a long way to help take photos for someone he has no relationship with, he would rather focus on his own work.

It's not that he has nothing to do, he is still quite busy.

"……learn."

Zhang Xueming opened her mouth to say something, but stopped herself when the words came to her lips.

If Lu Zhengyi's attitude was clearer, she believed that Wang Xiaoxu would not refuse.

But given his personality, it is unlikely that he can force someone to do something.

Maybe if I asked him as his wife, he would agree, but Zhang Xueming still respected his idea.

The two looked at each other across the screen and smiled unconsciously.

They could all understand what the other was thinking at the moment, it was very subtle.

Lu Zhengyi was able to get Wang Xiaoxu to agree, but he saw her dilemma and gave her the choice.

Zhang Xueming was also able to call out to Lu Zhengyi, but because she knew the other person's character well, she did not speak.

The two people's personalities are becoming more and more similar.

Sometimes, ideas and thoughts can even be connected.

"correct."

But the atmosphere of the two of them looking at each other quietly did not last long. Zhang Xueming seemed to remember something, "The Grudge in the Stars and Stripes was released. Did you watch it?"

"what?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at her in surprise. Obviously, he didn't know the news.

Because there is no content about this on the Internet.

"Because it's only shown in the United States, and it's only in one state."

Zhang Xueming explained, "For some reason, they didn't expand the range of theaters."

"When they bought the copyright, we promised that if necessary, when the film is remade and needs domestic theater support, Guangying will provide it."

"But now I don't know why, they refused this free benefit and only aired it in a very small range. I guess, just guess, maybe the quality is too different from the original, and the director and investors have no confidence that they can get a good result, so they just rushed it out."

She also rarely makes derogatory remarks like this without any actual evidence.

She has always been a person who is cautious in her words and actions, except in front of her family.

“I can only say it’s a pity.”

Lu Zhengyi replied, "When I first heard the news, I thought that The Grudge could use this incident to stir up some popularity."

No matter whether it is taken by others or by yourself, the collision of contrast can make old films from a few years popular again.

But now they have no intention of getting involved at all, and don't give any footage at all.

When we bought the copyright, at least there was some attention and coverage in China.

Now that the movie has been released, there is really no news about it in China. If Zhang Xueming hadn't reminded him, he would have even forgotten about it.

……

“Generally, it’s shot a bit like a science fiction movie.”

"Kayako seems to be an alien all of a sudden. What's going on?"

“The fighting scenes in this movie are really cool!”

On the outside Internet, there are only sporadic responses to the American version of The Grudge.

Although it was said to be released, they seemed to have not even done basic publicity and promotion. Not many viewers knew about it at all, and those who were able to watch the movie in person were basically fans of the original version of The Grudge.

Just from these things, it can be seen that the director and the team have no confidence.

"Anderson, in just a few years, you have turned a horror film into a science fiction film and an action film. That's really impressive."

In a movie theater in a certain state in the United States, in a separate VIP room,

As the representative of the investor, a man in a suit looked at the director next to him with an unpleasant expression, "Can you tell me what that is? A zombie?"

In the film, the protagonist contacted a special research department and locked Kayako in a completely enclosed space, intending to study her.

However, in the blink of an eye, Kayako, who was originally locked up inside, suddenly appeared next to the R&D team, opened her bloody mouth and bit these people.

Immediately afterwards, blood flowed like a river.

“Is this your understanding of the script?”

The representative of the financing company asked the director coldly, "Bloody? Violent?"

"You still dare to ask me why I don't invest in publicity and promotion."

"After seeing this film, don't you know how many companies have withdrawn their investments?"

A bad movie, even if it costs a lot of money to promote it, will only make people laugh.

This guy even plans to promote the film to other countries. It is hard to believe what he is thinking. Does he want to embarrass himself abroad?
Looking at the screen in front of her, Kayako was like a zombie, a licker, and a tyrant, rushing around, tearing off the hands of people on this side and biting people to death on that side.

The investors have almost forgotten what the original Kayako was like.

Especially when he saw the protagonist picking up some things and throwing them behind him in order to escape, and they actually hit Kayako, he just slapped his face.

"Snapped."

A heavy slapping sound came from his own face. "Why did we choose to give the copyright to you to shoot it? Damn it!"

From beginning to end, the director did not speak a word.

He felt that the investors did not know how to appreciate movies like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, and IT, which all created a violent and bloody atmosphere and achieved extremely good box office results.

Now the investors are unwilling to invest in publicity and promotion, which is simply throwing money into the water and there is no way to save it.

Many films in film history have proven that the filming techniques used in Tangguo and Dongzhou are totally unsuitable for the market in the United States.

On the contrary, anything shot in the United States always becomes a hot topic when it reaches their country.

He is right.

But he didn't have the courage to challenge the investors.
