Chapter 186 What route does this movie follow? [Please subscribe! 】

The man did not stop, and lit one candle after another with an oil lamp.

As the firelight became brighter, the eerie feeling in the picture was dispelled a lot.

The camera cuts to the man, giving him a close-up shot.

The man was wearing a linen short jacket and trousers, his hair was combed to the top of his head and tied in a bun, and he looked like he was dressed in the front court.

He can't say how ugly he is, but he looks like a bad guy.

He rubbed his eyes, opened his mouth and yawned, as if he hadn't woken up, he staggered towards the center of the hall.

His relaxed appearance also relieved the tension of the audience a lot, and they began to talk in a low voice.

"It looks like the background of the previous dynasty."

"It's the previous dynasty."

"Is this the coffin shop?"

"It should be Yizhuang, right? It's a place where corpses are specially parked."

"Hiss! Then there are corpses in these coffins?"

"I do not know!"

On the screen, the man came to the center of the hall and took out a handful of incense sticks. According to visual inspection, there were hundreds of sticks.

After igniting it with a candle, the man pushed open the door beside him and shouted to the night sky, "Every uncle, brothers and sisters, it's time to eat!"

Seeing this shot, Masao Nome nodded slightly.

He knew that all the ghosts in the Great Xia Kingdom feed on incense, so the implication of this shot is obviously calling for ghosts.

Opening with the traditional sacrificial process, this is a typical routine of traditional horror movies, and Song Qi uses it very skillfully!
Next, it is estimated that the owners of these coffins will be incensed. Nome Masao made a prediction based on experience.

Sure enough, the man on the screen walked towards the incense burner with the burning incense stick.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, looked at the white gauze curtain hanging aside, and muttered, "We're just passing through the door, you guys eat first."

As he spoke, he came to the gauze curtain and lifted it up, revealing more than a dozen figures standing still behind him.

The camera moved forward and gave a close-up, and there was a sound of gasping in the theater.

Standing behind the gauze tents were men wearing former official uniforms with buns in their hair.

But they all had talismans with yellow background and red letters on their foreheads, and they stood there, motionless.

The camera zooms in, and viewers can see close-ups of their faces.

Their skin was grayish-blue, dull, as if there was still a layer of frost that looked like ice and snow.

Their muzzles and noses were blocked by red mud, and their chests did not heave.

Moreover, on their necks, there is a red knife edge mark and a wavy black line, and some misalignment can be seen vaguely.

Most audiences who like to watch horror movies have some understanding of traditional culture.

After seeing these shots, some viewers immediately exclaimed in a low voice: "These are all beheaded dead!"

Looking at the screen, Masao Nome frowned and thought hard.

He seemed to have seen a similar record somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

On the screen, the story continues.

In front of these standing corpses is an incense table, on which there is a copper incense burner and an oil lamp.

The man put incense into the incense burner, but the wick of the oil lamp on the table burned to the oil level and began to dim.

As the light from the oil lamp dimmed, the corpse standing behind the incense table suddenly began to shake slightly.

The man hastily pulled up the wick of the oil lamp a little bit, muttering: "The fire cannot be extinguished, and it will be troublesome if it is extinguished."

The wick was extended, and the firelight became much brighter, and the shaking of the corpse also stopped.

"Fortunately."

The man murmured with some fear: "Otherwise, these guys are walking around in a mess, and there is no way to catch them."

Hearing the man's words, the college student next to Masao Nome seemed to remember something, and exchanged in a low voice: "These corpses can walk? Isn't that the same as the zombies in Resident Evil?"

"Maybe it's the same thing."

"How can it be the same thing? Zombies are changed because of the T virus, what about zombies?"

At this time, Nome Masao said in a low voice: "In some southern provinces, there is a legend called jumping corpses. After death, some people will change and recover a certain ability to move because of the excessive yin energy of the corpse. The corpse is stiff and unable to move flexibly, only the head and limbs can be moved, and the legs cannot move, so it can only move by jumping, so it is called jumping corpse, or zombie."

Hearing his explanation, the college students froze for a moment, then nodded their thanks: "Thank you for the popular science! Uncle."

"You're welcome."

Masao Nome said something casually, without taking his eyes off the screen.

He remembered the record about zombies, which was recorded in an ancient book he saw when he went to Jiangxi Province to collect folk songs.

Ancient books also recorded a unique local witchcraft, called expelling corpses. I don’t know if there are related elements in this movie.

The movie continued, and the plot quickly became lively.

When the man was offering incense, he was suddenly grabbed by the outstretched hand from the coffin and was almost pulled into the coffin. After finally breaking free, he found a thing dressed as a zombie running out of the coffin.

The man thought that there was something wrong with the zombies, and hurried to count the number of people in front of the zombies, but a zombie attacked him from behind, scaring him away in a hurry.

When escaping, the wind he brought blew out the oil lamp on the table and knocked off the yellow talismans on the heads of the zombies, and the zombies were revived instantly.

The man was cornered by zombies. When he panicked, he found that the zombie in front of him was a living person pretending to be.

But those real zombies have been revived, the man was frightened half to death, and fled in a hurry, while the man pretending to be a zombie fell into the siege of real zombies...

In the movie hall, the audience exclaimed again and again, and from time to time they couldn't help laughing at the man's bad appearance, watching with relish.

But unlike ordinary audiences, Nome Masao looked a little surprised, his expression full of admiration.

He never expected that in this short 2-minute scene, horror elements and comedy elements could be combined, and action and fighting scenes were also mixed in.

What route does this movie take?
From the foreshadowing in the early stage, Masao Nome could feel that Song Qi was very good at creating a terrifying atmosphere.

But when the horror atmosphere reached its limit, Song Qi deconstructed the horror atmosphere with a comedy plot.

Is it because you are afraid of being too scary and frightening the audience?
Nome Masao was a little puzzled.

What a horror movie pursues is the feeling that can scare the audience, and horror movie lovers also like that feeling.

Why did Song Qi want to get rid of that feeling when he could do it?
Masao Nome was thinking, but was awakened by the laughter of the audience.

Watching the audience being amused by the witty fighting scene on the screen when Uncle Nine and Daoist Simu jointly subdued the zombies, Masao Nome suddenly had a realization.

Is this what Song Qi wanted?
