Chapter 205 [Stunned by fright]

Although from the perspective of normal people, the acceptability of virtual technology is more reasonable than that of ghosts.

But it still depends on the person.

Some people are materialists. Even if ghosts are placed in front of them, they don't believe it. They think it's because of some virtual projection, refraction of light, mirage... or something like that.

But some people will still be suspicious of ghosts even if there is no ghost around them, and they will burn incense, worship Buddha and pray for blessings all day long.

And what about Abu Kuan?He's a normal guy, a little bit of both.

Although when he heard Yu Wenxiu explain before that this was virtual technology, he somewhat believed it.

After all, if ghosts really exist, everything will be rewritten, whether it is the past history of mankind or its future development direction.

This kind of existence that is invisible and intangible, but originates from human beings, can subvert everything that exists.

So Abu Kuan hopes to use virtual technology to explain it.

but now……

"I'm feeling a little unwell, timeout!"

"Pause!"

"Is anyone there? I need a timeout!"

Abu Kuan's distorted face was full of panic, and he roared loudly. He no longer had the demeanor that a senior figure in the entertainment industry and a high-level figure in society should have.

"Bang bang bang!"

He kicked the door violently with his feet and kept shouting.

But on the stairs, the slowly crawling Kayako seemed to have not heard his shout, getting closer and closer.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Abu Kuan felt that even the temperature in the room became colder and biting as she came closer!
Virtual technology?
Is this virtual technology?
"Please stop, I need a break!"

Abu Kuan's voice was a little hoarse.

His voice came clearly through the camera's headset and into the ears of everyone on the crew.

But the people on the Mei Civet Cat crew, without Lu Zhengyi's instructions, were all waiting with expressionless faces.

They all knew that it was just an illusion.

As for the actors on the Heguo side, they all looked at each other with horror and panic, but no one said a word.

They all stood there stiffly, like wooden figures.

'As expected of a very famous actor in the Tang Dynasty, his acting skills are hard to choose. '

As the only "good guy" in the Mei Civet Cat crew, Wang Xiaoxu was the culprit that caused Abu Kuan to be so helpless.

He was standing in the corridor, standing next to Liu Baoning, manipulating the illusion of coconut milk he had constructed, asking her to get closer to the manic and restless Abu Kuan in accordance with the script, while nodding constantly.

Wang Xiaoxu only thinks that this actor's acting skills are very good.

He couldn't understand the Chinese language and didn't know what people were shouting.

But he had read the script and knew how desperate and powerless Kobayashi Mingsuke should be when facing Kayako as a resentful spirit.

According to Wang Xiaoxu's original idea, how should despair and powerlessness be expressed?
He was probably paralyzed on the ground, covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale. Although his feet were weak, he still struggled to support his body with his hands and retreat... something like that.

But now looking at the manic and impatient Abu Kuan in front of him who wanted to escape from here, he realized.

'No wonder he is an actor and I can only be a special effects artist. '

Wang Xiaoxu observed carefully and analyzed in his mind.

This kind of analysis can help him better grasp the ability of this illusion.

In the past, he relied on watching a large number of film and television works to fantasize and construct.

But now, the illusion that I constructed has a very good surface and appearance.

But according to Director Lu, we should also try to enrich the inner part in order to make the illusion more real and give a more consistent performance.

And this requires observation and analysis from some people you come into contact with.

'Just like when Mr. Chen Junsheng was performing, when he met Kayako, the first thing he thought about was not running away, but resisting.Using the martial arts he was familiar with, he waved his fist at the resentful spirit Kayako. '

'In the audience's perception, Chen Junsheng is a martial arts superstar, and his martial arts value is very powerful.The script that Director Lu gave to Mr. Chen required the character to act in his true colors, so the characters in the film are the same as in reality. '

'In this case, when Teacher Chen's fist passed through the coconut milk, when ordinary force was unable to cause harm to the resentful spirit, at that time, the feeling of despair and powerlessness in facing the resentful spirit came through the picture. conveyed to the audience more realistically. '

'And what Teacher Abu Kuan wants to express should be, well, the desire for life overwhelms the character.Judging from the plot, Kobayashi Akisuke has always been a gentle teacher and very responsible. The students in the class did not come to class and would arrange home visits, so he was deeply loved by Kayako. '

'However, in this life-and-death crisis situation, he abandoned all tenderness and responsibility and only wanted to escape.It is human instinct to run away as soon as possible when encountering danger. '

'Teacher Abu Kuan is explaining his understanding of the character through the camera.Although the performance is a bit exaggerated, in terms of seriousness, he can compete with Teacher Chang and Brother Ming. In fact, there are still many good actors in the entertainment industry. '

As Abu Kuan said 'please stop' and 'no' again and again, Wang Xiaoxu, who didn't understand at all, felt admiration.

He is not from the entertainment industry, he just participated in the filming of the last movie, The First Commandment.

So what Wang Xiaoxu has seen is that there are not many actors on the set.

In his original heart, Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming's seriousness and persistence in acting broke some of his previous bad impressions of actors.

And now, Wang Xiaoxu has one more good actor in his heart.

That is……

"Please, let me go!"

With a miserable howl, the good actor in Wang Xiaoxu's heart fell.

The moment when Kayako climbed down the stairs and came to Abu Kuan, he stretched out his pale, sharp-jointed palm to grab it.

The moment Abu Kuan watched helplessly as the hand touched his face, and then suddenly passed through it.

He trembled all over, his legs went weak, and he fainted.

"Six, this acting is so amazing. I, the audience watching the actual shooting, can't fault it at all." Unable to bear it, Wang Xiaoxu gave a thumbs up to Abu Kuan who fainted, "Those people in front of the screen The audience will definitely be satisfied as well.”

Standing next to him, Liu Baoning's expressionless face became strange, and he glanced blankly at the new uncle in the crew next to him.

Then, she took a few steps forward to the door and knocked gently, "Uncle Bai, this person was knocked out. Do you still want to act?"

"Ok?"

Wang Xiaoxu, who originally had an admiring expression on his face, froze.

……

"Teacher Abu Kuan? Teacher Abu Kuan!"

In a daze, Abu Kuan only felt that someone kept calling him.

When he woke up from a trance, he found that he was surrounded by people.

This is……

The moment he woke up, Abu Kuan's head was still a little dazed.

But after recalling everything that happened before he fainted, his confused expression suddenly turned into panic and panic.

"ghost!"

"There's a ghost!"

Abu Kuan sat up suddenly, grasped the nearest Lu Zhengyi's arm, and looked around excitedly.

Now, he is still in that room.

It's just that compared to just now, it was just me, the child, and the ghost.

Now the room is full of people.

There were also some people handing out lunch boxes, it was probably lunch break time.

"Teacher Abu Kuan, look around you first." Lu Zhengyi said softly, his tone full of helplessness, "Look at the person over there first, it's just for filming, there is no need to scare yourself to the point of fainting. .”

As he spoke, he gestured in a direction in the distance.

At any rate, after filming such a long scene, he still learned some simple Japanese phrases.

As a relatively special person, he can actually do things that Yu Wenxiu can do.

So now, he doesn't need to have a translator by his side all the time.

Abu Kuan looked into the distance in a daze.

Before he fell into coma, Kayako, who had left a very deep impression on him, was sitting in the distance with a little girl. Next to him, there were Kanda Kyoko and other Japanese actors.

"Then, what is that?"

Abu Kuan's expression froze.

"Let's go and have a look."

Lu Zhengyi suggested. "No, no, no, no, I won't go."

Abu Kuan shook his head rapidly, "Director Lu, have you passed the period just now?"

"Have I finished filming my scene?"

"Can I leave?"

He suddenly remembered that since the character he played was Kobayashi Akisuke, he was already dead.

Then I have finished it and can leave here.

"Although you said some inappropriate lines in the scene just now, after post-processing, the performance was indeed very good. It's considered completed." Lu Zhengyi nodded, "But do you still remember the contract we signed before? ?You need to stay here until all plot shooting is completed and the crew officially wraps up, then you can leave."

"Then, then I..."

Abu Kuan wanted to say something else.

But Lu Zhengyi had already helped him stand up.

"Listen to me and go take a look first."

Lu Zhengyi insisted, "Although there are often some actors in the industry who are too involved in the drama, which affects their real life."

"But I still hope that you can get out of the plot."

"After all, this is just a job, and I don't want you to have any mental problems because of this job."

As he spoke, he led the people towards Li Zhenxi.

"No, no, no, can I not..."

Abu Kuan was forcibly pulled away. Although he intended to resist, the force generated by the man in front of him forced him to follow.

"Senior Abu Kuan!"

"Are you all right?"

"How's your body?"

As soon as the two of them approached, the Japanese actors stood up one by one and became concerned.

The same goes for Li Zhenxi.

She lifted her disheveled hair and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher Abu Kuan, I scared you just now."

"It wasn't you who was acting just now, it was your avatar."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "I will help you convey it."

As he spoke, he planned to translate.

But Abu Kuan doesn't need a translator. He can still understand these simple Tang languages.

Listening to the gentle apology in his ears and the beautiful face, he asked in disbelief, "You, are you a real person?"

"Yes, Senior Abu Kuan."

Next to her, Kanda Kyoko smiled and replied helpfully, "We all misunderstood before. The crew is really using virtual technology to shoot."

As she spoke, she even took Li Zhenxi's arm and said, "Look, he is a living person with warmth."

"This actor teacher is called Li Zhenxi. Director Lu just explained to us that she has not been allowed to meet us before because she was afraid that we would make a scene during the performance. In order to have a better performance during the filming."

"But actually, we have met before. When we were preparing for filming, we went to the hotel where the crew rested, and we actually met her before."

Suddenly, the panic look on Abu Kuan's face paused and became a little complicated.

Is this really... like this?

"I have also seen the Legend of the Demon Cat, which you previously participated in in the Tang Dynasty."

But then, Li Zhenxi, who was still being held by Kanda Kyoko, suddenly stretched out her arm, startling Abu Kuan and taking a step back.

However, he found that the person just extended his hand politely and stopped when he wanted to shake hands.

"Teacher Li said that she has watched your performance in Legend of the Demon Cat."

Lu Zhengyi acted as a translator beside her, "She feels very honored to be able to cooperate with a senior like you this time."

Abu Kuan stood there blankly, listening to these words and not knowing how to respond.

Then, Li Zhenxi pulled Liu Baoning in front of him and said something.

"This is Teacher Li's daughter, Liu Baoning. She plays Kayako's daughter Saeki Minna in the play." Lu Zhengyi continued to translate, "She is a child star that I am very optimistic about. She will definitely be a very good actor in the future. She is A regular on my set.”

While speaking, Liu Baoning called "Uncle Abu Kuan" in an unskilled dialect. '

"Ah, umm."

Abu Kuan nodded blankly in response.

There was confusion, confusion, and inability to accept it on his face.

Abu Kuan could not accept that he had been frightened to the point of fainting before, and he could not accept that the two people in front of him were actually human beings.

His mind was like a ball of mush right now.

Before he fell into coma, Abu Kuan was still convinced that there were ghosts in the world, and that the ghosts were right in front of him, acting with him.

And now?He looked at the mother and daughter who were greeting each other politely, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

My brain seemed to have crashed.

Believe it or not?

He no longer knew what choice to make.

……

"So in the end, you will continue to fool the audience just like you do in China? Real and fake."

When they returned to the hotel, the crew of Mei Tan Civet had already started a heated discussion about what happened today.

Zhang Xueming, who was also in the crew group chat, also knew about this.

Because she was busy with work, she had no video for a while, so she made a special call and asked.

"Then what can we do?"

Lu Zhengyi was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, holding his mobile phone, looking at his wife in the video, and replied helplessly, "I'm just here to work, so I can't really scare people out, so I can only try my best to fool them." ”

Zhang Xueming looked at him with subtle eyes and asked after a while, "Then you didn't stop then?"

"Ahem... wasn't it that the shooting effect at that time was so good that I couldn't bear to part with it." Lu Zhengyi coughed lightly, "Besides, if it had been stopped at that time, then Abu Kuan might not be willing to do it again. As far as he was at that time, In this state, I thought he saw Wang Xiaoxu standing next to him, not the illusion of Kayako."

"But I really didn't expect that someone would be frightened and faint."

"When I was selecting the actors, I thought they were in good mental condition. But the result was quite surprising."

At this point, he paused and couldn't help complaining, "You know, when we were filming old corpses in mountain villages in China, Teacher Chang and the others were not frightened when they saw Liang Meijuan for the first time."

"Although they were a little resistant at the time, at least they were still awake and could continue with the performance. As a result, Abu Kuan fainted directly. I was dumbfounded at the time. What is this? You can faint when you face an illusion?"

"Liang Meijuan was a ghost with a lot of grievances at the time. The grievances and yin energy around her were swirling, and none of the actors in our crew were affected. This was just an illusion, and Wang Xiaoxu himself had no grievances. His mentality was really a little bit... Vulnerable.”

Zhang Xueming couldn't hide the smile on her face as she listened to his complaints.

"But is it possible that the process of being between truth and falsehood, the process of self-guessing and doubting, made him even more psychologically stressed."

Zhang Xueming guessed, "You directly told your crew that Teacher Liang is a real ghost, and you were able to... restrain her."

"But it's different now. You didn't tell Abu Kuan exactly whether there was a ghost in the crew. You only told him that it could ensure his safety. In this case, he has been wandering between there and not."

"The suspicion gave him more fear. It wasn't until the moment he faced the vision of Kayako that he really made a decision, and kept imagining the picture of being killed in his mind, and then he was frightened. fainted."

Lu Zhengyi listened to her words with a subtle look.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, you have been with me for a long time, and you have such a deep understanding of how to create a scary atmosphere." He replied softly, "Instead of telling them the answer directly, use hints , let them wander between true and false, guess and figure it out by themselves, and then scare themselves."

"The psychological pressure you create on yourself is always the greatest and the most terrifying."

"Could it be that you are really a genius?"

Regarding these understandings, he analyzed films from many countries and finally came up with the results.

In fact, horror and horror are not divided into Tang-style horror, Japanese-style horror, Southern Dynasty-style horror, and Western horror...

The only difference is culture. The same horror techniques were expressed in the Tang Dynasty using some common cultural entities and objects, such as ghosts, zombies, demons, red cloth shoes, wedding dresses, etc. It is Tang-style horror.

But if you change it to dolls wearing small suits, vampires, scissorhands, murderers, pagans... and the like, it's Western horror.

But it was very easy for Zhang Xueming to see some of the essence.

"Think about it, how about you help me write the script?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at Zhang Xueming in the video seriously.
