My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 5 Horror is a Science

Ding Dong!

The elevator door opened, and Song Qi walked out of the elevator first, while ordering: "You wait for me here, I will drive first."

At the corner of the parking lot, he found his small white compact car based on his memory.

This is a classic model of the Great Xia Kingdom 30 years ago. It has four seats and a compact compartment. It is cheap and fuel-efficient, and is suitable for grocery shopping.

This car was still with manual transmission. Song Qi hadn't driven a manual transmission car since he finished his driver's license test. After starting the car a few times, the ignition started, and he drove slowly to the elevator entrance.

"Wow! So cute!"

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up when he saw this small car that could be carried by one person.

If he hadn't seen her serious face, Song Qi would have thought she was mocking him.

"Get in the car!"

He beckoned.

Ma Baoluo and Xiao Ran got into the car one after another, and Xiao Ran sat in the back seat, looking around with great interest.

She quickly discovered the place of interest and exclaimed: "Wow! The windows of this car are actually hand-cranked! It's so interesting!"

Paulo Ma glanced at the rearview mirror and muttered softly, "Which ravine did this silly girl come from? Why haven't you seen anything?"

Song Qi smiled, didn't care, and drove to an old mountain city hot pot restaurant in the XC area with one kick of the gas pedal.

This is a store that he and Paulo Ma often come to.

Marcoro got out of the car and started yelling: "Isn't it? Brother Qi? We eat hot pot when they eat seafood?"

"It's good to have hot pot, what kind of bicycle do you want?"

Song Qi got out of the car, closed the door casually, and walked into the shop.

This car does not need to be locked at all, no one will steal it on the side of the road, and it is worthless to sell scrap iron.

Xiao Ran still looked like he had never seen the world. After entering the door, he looked left and right curiously, and couldn't rest for a moment.

After ordering something casually and handing it over to the waiter to arrange, Song Qi asked Xiaoran straight to the point: "Xiaoran, do you understand the process of movie project approval, filing and approval?"

"Know something."

Xiao Ran blinked.

Seeing her appearance, Song Qi knew that she probably knew how to write the word movie.

It's okay, he doesn't know how to ask for advice, and it's not like he hasn't brought newcomers before.

After comforting himself, Song Qi explained to her earnestly: "There is a process for making a movie, mainly preparatory work and post-shooting work. You will be an employee of the project department in the future, and your responsibility is to cooperate with me to do a good job." The preparatory work of the film and the formalities of film project registration and filing all need to be run by you, so you must be familiar with the process."

"Oh, great!"

Xiao Ran nodded again, very well-behaved.

It seems that I really don't understand anything!
Song Qi sighed secretly, and continued to explain earnestly: "According to the Film Law of the Great Xia Kingdom, all films must be filed and reviewed at the General Administration of Optoelectronics of the Great Xia. Only after passing the review can they get a shooting license. What you have to do , that is, take the first draft of the script I gave you, go to the official website of the State Administration of Optoelectronics for filing, and then follow up the review process to get the shooting permit as soon as possible. There is also the approval of the company's funds, and you should also urge the finance department to call the crew account as soon as possible. With money, I can rent equipment, scout locations, and cast actors.”

"Okay, I get it now."

Xiao Ran finally became serious: "By the way, Director Song Qi, what movie are you planning to make this time?"

"Jaws, a horror movie."

Song Qi explained calmly.

"Horror film?"

Xiao Ran and Ma Paulo let out an exclamation at the same time.

But different from Xiao Ran's astonishment, Ma Baoluo was stunned: "No, Song Qi, don't mess around! You also know how strict Daxia's review of horror movies is, this subject is not easy to touch !"

"Of course I know."

Song Qi smiled confidently: "What I want to shoot is an unprecedented horror film, and there is absolutely no problem with the review."

Ma Paulo became a little anxious: "You don't think you want to take the risk and shoot something like urban ghost stories that step on the line?"

"of course not."

Song Qi explained with a smile: "Let's put it simply! What I want to shoot is a story about a terrifying great white shark eating people."

"Jaws? Shark?"

Paulo Ma was very puzzled: "I know about sharks, but sharks generally don't attack humans! Hippos kill more people than it does. Why do you want to photograph great white sharks?"

"That's different."

Song Qi explained: "Terror needs to be shaped. The real horror is not the great white shark itself, but it will appear at some point."

"I still don't understand."

Ma Baoluo scratched his head worriedly: "Song Qi, I have something to say, I feel that you, a great white shark, really have nothing to do, not only that it has nothing to do, but the whole genre of horror movies has nothing to do, what are you doing? Do you have to make a horror movie?"

Song Qi's expression turned serious: "Because terror is a science."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Ran looked at him curiously.

"Film is art, but it is popular art. The most basic requirement for a good movie is to tell a good story."

Song Qi explained with a serious expression on his face. Seeing his serious expression, Ma Paulo could not help but sit up straight and listened seriously.

"A story is an introduction to human imagination. There are many types of stories, love stories, historical stories, and mythological stories, but the first story that appears is definitely a horror story!"

Song Qi's expression was serious, and there was a kind of excitement and passion between his brows: "Horror stories are the most widely spread type of stories. Even people with no culture, no matter how stupid, even primitive people can understand the core laws of horror stories. , that is, don't...be eaten by...!"

Seeing his passionate appearance, Xiao Ran rested her chin with her hands, and there was an inexplicable light in her eyes.

"Only by understanding the core of horror films can we make really good-looking horror films. What I want to make is a film that is pure, acts on the audience's instincts, and can make the audience feel horror from the bottom of their hearts!"

Song Qi spoke a little dryly, he grabbed the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and continued: "Movies are fantasy and safe adventures, separated by a curtain, the audience can safely and immerse themselves in an exciting adventure.

But the horror movies in this world are not exciting enough, not pure enough!

What I want is a movie that allows the audience to watch the whole movie, and after they come out of the theater, they will feel lucky to have escaped from death. When they go back at night, they will have nightmares all night. !This is a real horror movie! "

"it is good!"

Paulo Ma slapped the table and applauded loudly.

clap clap clap!
Xiao Ran also clapped vigorously, her cheeks flushed slightly, as if stimulated by Song Qi's speech, a little excited.

"Good! It's good!"

Paulo Ma also clapped his hands a few times, shook his head and sighed: "Song Qi, I just admire your serious bragging appearance, you are so charming!"

Song Qi leaned back in his chair, picked up his teacup, and asked with a smile, "Then can you help me?"

"Then why do you need to ask?"

Ma Baoluo twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a wretched smile, picked up the tea cup and touched Song Qi: "I'm afraid of a ball! It's done!"

"Done!"

Xiao Ran's teacup also poked out from the side, and touched the two of them. Seeing that they looked over suspiciously, he smiled and stuck out his tongue, holding the teacup and drinking it.

After exchanging glances, Song Qi and Ma Baoluo looked at each other and smiled.

This girl is interesting.
