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

Chapter 68 [Feudal superstition is not advisable]

Taicheng is not such a prosperous and affluent city in the Tang Dynasty.

Probably, that is the standard of third- and fourth-tier cities.

However, this city carries and preserves many historical cultures of the Tang Dynasty.

When other cities chose to overthrow old buildings and rebuild high-rise buildings on the ruins, the locals chose another way of growth.

Renovate the original old building to keep the old style.

So in Taicheng, there are a lot of low-rise buildings with old-fashioned decorations, and narrow temples can be seen from time to time along the street, and various folk cultures are also preserved extremely intact.

The first filming scene of the "Curse" crew was in an old-fashioned residential area in Gaoxiong District.

But it is said to be a community, but in fact it is surrounded by low walls, and there are no security guards.

"This sign that says 'civilized community' is really nostalgic."

Zhang Xueming walked into the community with Lu Zhengyi, "There is also this kind, there are various ladder passages between buildings."

"I have a feeling of going back to my childhood and playing hide-and-seek with my classmates."

"I think I can see another large open space later. The weather is not bad today. I think there must be someone drying clothes and quilts on bamboo poles!"

With that said, they had already entered the community.

And everything in front of him is almost as Zhang Xueming said.

There is a large open space between the buildings.

People in the community set up bamboo poles to dry clothes in the open space.

"Look, I knew it."

In her eyes, there is not only nostalgia, but also a little regret, "Thinking about that time, it must have been more than ten years ago."

Come to think of it, she's almost thirty.

Yes, just a few months away.

Lu Zhengyi didn't speak.

On such a topic involving age, he felt that no matter how much he spoke, it would be inappropriate.

The two continued to walk forward.

There are a total of six buildings in this old-fashioned community, and the shooting location they leased is in the innermost part of the community.

From a distance, Lu Zhengyi and the others could see that the open space in front of the last building was full of people, all of whom were crew members and actors.

Outside the open space, there are still some old men and women standing behind the isolation fence, watching the excitement.

The most troublesome thing about live shooting is being surrounded by passers-by.

Even, there are often people who hold up their mobile phones to start recording and post them directly on the Internet.

For behaviors like this, the content that was photographed and uploaded was basically cut out, or it was made into a trailer.

There was once a film with Reuters content as long as [-] minutes.

How long is a movie, and it was directly exposed in twenty minutes.

Many people don't need to go to the theater to watch a movie, but just watch the Reuters video, and they can see the plot in full swing.

Therefore, more and more films are now being shot directly on green screens and film and television bases, and there are some reasons for this.

There are too many uncertain factors in live shooting.

Spending money is one thing.

The energy consumption almost exceeds the shooting itself.

"Little girl, you can't go there, they are making a movie."

As soon as the two approached, an old woman reminded her.

But before Zhang Xueming could answer, another old man next to him said, "Oh, Grandma Song, look at this girl who looks so handsome, she must be here for filming."

"In our community, how can there be such a beautiful girl."

"Stop blocking people."

As he said that, he took a step forward, "Little girl, please sign for me."

"My granddaughter, I like watching your plays the most."

He didn't even know what Zhang Xueming's name was, so he just wanted an autograph.

"Sorry, grandpa, I'm not an actor."

Zhang Xueming replied apologetically, "I am...the director's assistant."

She glanced at Lu Zhengyi next to her.

And Lu Zhengyi took a step forward at the right time, and removed the isolation fence in front, "It's almost time, it's time to go in."

As for the others, when they heard that this strong young man was the director, they just planned to get closer to see if the director was some face that they often see on TV.

"Young man, what movie are you making?"

But as soon as the footsteps were taken, they stopped inexplicably, and only asked from a distance.

After Zhang Xueming walked into the open space, Lu Zhengyi rearranged the fence and nodded politely at them, "Horror movies."

Then, they didn't chat much with these onlookers.

"Horror movie? What kind of movie is this?"

"It's the kind of ghostly, scary movie."

"Come to the north, why did Uncle Alin rent the place to such a group of people?"

"Mazu protects the number, Mazu protects the number."

"It's unlucky, let's go."

As for the people who were surrounded by it, who would dare to surround it when they heard that this kind of film was being shot.

Taicheng was originally a city that followed the old system, let alone such a group of elderly grandparents.

Their degree of superstition is probably reflected in the fact that they have to make offerings at least every month, and pay homage to gods such as the Land God and Mazu.

"Director Lu, this stone statue..."

As soon as the two approached the crew, Chang Zhengwei walked over and asked cryptically.

When he was talking, he glanced at Zhang Xueming and nodded.

At this moment, in addition to various offerings and cameras, there is also a stone statue of the Faceless Buddha on the offering table.

Chang Zhengwei was undoubtedly the most familiar with this stone statue.

"It's okay, the problem has been solved."

Lu Zhengyi understood what he meant.

Regarding the ability of the stone statue, he has already figured it out.

When worshiping, if no sacrifice is prepared, it will make people see what they fear in their hearts. For example, Chang Zhengwei saw the beauty of Chu Ren.

On the contrary, if sacrifices are prepared, the stone statue will not have illusions.

And the stone statue's ability to exorcise evil spirits can only be drawn out by the sacrificial scorpion.

If there are evil objects around, then at the moment of worship, the sacrificial scorpion will be ignited quickly, and at the same time, the stone statue will drive the evil objects to a certain range.

Although, this range is small.

But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so it is genuine, so Lu Zhengyi took it with him.

"Come on, let's do a simple worship, and then officially start the machine."

Lu Zhengyi clapped his hands and called others to come over.

Then, he came to the red table where the stone statue was placed, picked up the sacrificial paddle and lit it, and distributed it to others.

On the table, the offerings are not so particular, and there are definitely no three or six animals.

On the table are some snacks, soft drinks, and beer.

"...not even a pig."

Zhang Xueming followed Lu Zhengyi closely. When she saw the offerings on the table, she couldn't believe it. "You guys are making a horror movie."

"Other people's crews have to kill chickens and pigs to go down a well or jump into a river."

"You... are too careless."

Lu Zhengyi smiled, and gave her a sacrificial hoe, "I can't tell, you're quite superstitious."

"Buy these snacks, soft drinks, etc., and you can get a point after the worship."

"If we buy a pig or a chicken, we definitely don't have much time to eat."

Zhang Xueming took over the sacrificial scorpion, "You should treat ghosts and gods with a certain amount of awe."

"Now is the age of science, Mr. Zhang, feudal superstition is not advisable." Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "Come on, Ah Chu, take one too, so as not to be blown away later."

As he spoke, he handed the sacrificial scorpion to a woman wearing a peaked cap and a mask, which covered her tightly.

If this Chu Renmei hadn't held the root to worship the weed, and worshiped together, she would be the evil creature driven away by the stone statue later.

As for Chang Zhengwei, the people who followed from the previous production crew all had strange expressions when they heard this and watched his actions.

A look of wanting to laugh, but holding back with all his might.
