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

Chapter 232 [New Film]

"Lao Zhang, this is the script, you read it first."

"Actor? I don't have any ideas for the moment. Xiao Ming, Teacher Chang, and Lily haven't finished filming the new movie they have in hand. As for Teacher Yu, I don't plan to let her participate. The final box office of her "Record of the Ancient Village" Although the figure is only [-] million, this is the first time she has stepped out to carry the box office, which is already very good."

"Next, I hope she can take advantage of the craze of The Grudge and get another good drama, and officially enter the center of this circle."

……

In the building near Light and Shadow Media, in the new office space of the Mei Civet Cat crew, in the conference room, Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Yu were discussing the next filming.

The Grudge is still in the release stage, but as per his past habits, he has now begun preparations for the filming of his next movie.

Because the script has been written a long time ago, he has now directly entered the second stage of preparation, which is to ask the big guys from the Mei Civet Cat crew to prepare the scenes, props, makeup, and photography for the filming of this drama. equipment……

But this time, Assistant Director Zhang finally returned to the battlefield.

This matter can be regarded as an agreement with him before.

In the past few times, every time I went to visit this old boy, he always looked eager.

But there was no way, no matter it was the first commandment or the curse, it was not something his little heart could bear.

Even though he has been saying that after filming so many movies, his psychological quality has long been different from ordinary people, Lu Zhengyi is still not willing to let him return to the team until now.

"... They are definitely blessed to have met you, right?" Zhang Yu looked very emotional, "It's not easy to make someone famous. It's a bit famous, and it can bring topic to the film. , he was released immediately."

"If you put things like yours into the current management companies that cultivate idol groups, you would probably be called a good person, right?"

"After all, if they can praise people to this level, they will wish that the artist has to answer notices 24 hours a day and work as a horse for the company. Not to mention the freedom of taking roles, it may include three meals a day, what time to go to bed, and what time to wake up. It’s the company that has the final say.”

After not seeing each other for a long time, Zhang Yu's whole spirit was completely different.

The big belly was like a balloon, deflated by more than half, and the face that used to be greasy and fat has now become slimmer and has a certain contour.

It can be seen that during this period of recuperation, he not only ate healthily, but also occasionally exercised.

But even so, Zhang Yu's face was not as rosy as before, and his movements were not as powerful as before.

After all, he realized that now, a few years later, he was already in his early fifties and had undergone major heart-related surgery.

The impact of this serious illness on Zhang Yu's body is irreversible.

Even adjusting a healthy diet and daily routine can only slow down the spread of this impact.

"Why did you let me go? The contract is still with me."

Lu Zhengyi leaned back in his chair casually and replied with a smile, "If I wave my arms, they will definitely be willing to come back to film."

"The contract you signed with us only included the share of your film. They made money from other films, but they didn't share it with you." Zhang Yu replied while looking at the script in his hand, "Oh, that's not right, ouch. Look at my brain, after I rested for a while, I can’t keep up.”

But as he said that, he slapped his forehead again and denied it.

Those are old ideas.

In Director Lu's crew, we can't think with that old mentality.

As far as this crew is concerned, is there any actor who wouldn't want to stay?

With Lu Zhengyi's current reputation in the industry, if the news about the preparation of the new drama spreads, there will probably be a lot of actors with traffic or ability vying to audition for the drama.

That's not what they want to go out on their own, so it's only Director Lu who doesn't want them.

In other words, encourage them to step out of their comfort zone.

Rather than keeping Yu Wenxiu and other actors who are famous for their horror films, Lu Zhengyi would rather let them go.

As far as the high rates of return on these books currently produced by the crew are concerned, money is probably just a bunch of numbers in Director Lu's eyes.

On the contrary, if Yu Wenxiu and the others can rely on the opportunities they get in the crew and the acting skills they have honed, and then step out and establish themselves, they will gradually become second-tier, first-tier, or even movie kings and queens, actors with official professional titles in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, they who had a certain voice and influence in society were the ones who were really helpful to Lu Zhengyi.

"They stay here, and their help for the filming is very limited." Lu Zhengyi cannot read minds, so he doesn't know what Zhang Yu is thinking, so he explains to himself, "It's a horror movie. Actors with too familiar faces are not suitable." .”

"So for the next drama, I will probably find some suitable actors again."

"My acting skills are decent, I'm serious enough, I'm not famous, and I'm obedient enough."

"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded and said nothing more.

Lu Zhengyi did not disturb him from reading the script, but picked up his mobile phone and chatted with Taoist Guanshan.

The content is about the Supernatural Research and Administration Bureau of Japan. '

From that day on, neither the person named 'Koichi Ito' nor anyone else in this department bothered them, as if they had never appeared until they returned home.

As for the Taoist priest, he simply ended the matter with a short text message saying, "The matter is settled."

This once again proves that Taoist Guanshan has a good social status in the country, and at least he can intervene to a certain extent in diplomacy.

But Lu Zhengyi was still quite curious about these things, so he would talk to the Taoist Priest from time to time.

But it's a pity that the two of them are old acquaintances.

As soon as he opened his mouth, people knew what his purpose was. As long as he talked about things related to Heguo, he would dive right in, just like setting up automatic blocking of keywords.

"Actually, Taoist Priest."

Lu Zhengyi thought, and planned to take a roundabout way, "I don't have to know the affairs of this department. After all, it is the matter of the country, and it has nothing to do with me, an ordinary director."

"I'm mainly concerned about filming issues. You should also know how popular my recent films are, right?"

"In the current situation, it is certain that I will rush out all the way. But you said, as a director with the purpose of cultural exchange, it would be very unfair if I was misunderstood for some reason as a spy who infiltrated the enemy country."

After saying that, he waited for a long time, but saw no reply from Taoist Guanshan. Even his profile picture suddenly dimmed.

"Tsk..."

Lu Zhengyi was helpless.

"what happened?"

Zhang Yu, who was reading the script, raised his head and asked doubtfully.

"It's okay. It's just that I suddenly encountered a third-rate actor who was pretending to be in front of me with very poor acting skills. It was a bit hard to understand."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, and then he tapped on the screen of his phone again.

"Of course I'm not afraid myself. But I'm afraid that other members of the crew will be targeted. After all, they are just ordinary people."

"But when I go over there to shoot, I won't be able to keep an eye on everyone all the time."

"So my simple consultation should be considered within the scope of your work, right?"

These words are not said casually.

In addition to being curious, he also had concerns in this regard.

If He Guo really had some misunderstanding about him because of what happened before, then he definitely couldn't go there with a lot of people to film.

But that's not to say that it can't be protected, it's just that the trouble will get bigger and bigger in time.

"As long as you film the movie honestly, there won't be any problems." Taoist Guanshan's darkened profile picture suddenly lit up again, "If you really get into trouble, just tell me in advance, but you try not to It’s too much, it’s best to contact us to handle it.”

Quite confident.Lu Zhengyi understood.

"correct."

But then, Taoist Kanshan sent a few more messages, "Don't take out the Nuo noodles you got from Ejiro Muto easily in Heguo."

"He seems to have been hiding the matter of the century-old resentment in his hands."

"It's just rumors from Heguo, but if you take out the Nuo noodles and are seen, they will most likely think of it, and then you will be in trouble over there."

Lu Zhengyi looked at the screen and said, "Understood."

It seems that even if the Wanda side uses some kind of living sacrifice method during the Six Heavens Old Energy period to treat these beings, they haven't raised any big guys.

The snow girl in my hand is probably a very special existence over there.

There are fewer and fewer cultivators on the Tang side, and some inheritances handed down from ancient times are slowly disappearing, and it seems to be the same on the He side.

"Oh, that's a bit unexpected."

While Lu Zhengyi was chatting with Taoist Guanshan, Zhang Yu finished reading the script in his hand and said, "Director Lu, the script you accepted this time has a good ending. It's so heartwarming. It's not like your style."

Is it because you are married and your mentality is different?

"Huh? Warmth?" Lu Zhengyi's expression became subtle, "It's a good thriller, but it feels warm in your place. It's incredible, Old Zhang, your psychological quality is indeed different now. "

"No, I've seen ghosts before, and I've also died once."

Zhang Yu replied with a smile, "But it's still the same old problem. Is there a ghost or not? Let the audience guess for themselves."

"I thought that after filming The Grudge, you would start to try other styles."

"But this can be considered another style, so warm."

The new script is about a spirit, no, no, it should be two mental patients.

Due to some accidents, the heroine can suddenly see various "ghosts", which deeply affects her life and work.

Therefore, she seeks help from the male protagonist, who is a psychiatrist.

In the process of treatment, she finally got rid of all kinds of horrible thoughts, and even developed feelings for the doctor.

But at this time, the hero also began to see ghosts...

"Those who get married are different. The thrillers they write start to have emotions." Zhang Yu said with emotion, "Seeing the final ending, I suddenly doubted whether you were Director Lu. No matter what Whether the hero or heroine, Director Lu should be sacrificed in the plot."

"I'm not saying, don't watch The Grudge."

Lu Zhengyi paid attention to the details in his words, and his tone became stern.

This old boy has already paid the price for disobeying the doctor's orders.

Don’t you still have a long memory?

"I watched the abridged version."

Zhang Yu reached out and touched the position of his heart, "Don't worry, I still cherish my life and will never force myself."

"And when I watch your movies, I won't pay attention to whether they are scary or not."

"What I care about is how you direct and shoot."

He looked at Lu Zhengyi with a complicated tone.

"It's such a pity that there is no way to see the uncut version."

"This should be your best work so far, right?"

"Although it's just an abridged version, I can still see a lot of growth. Director Lu, you have truly become a director now."

Moreover, this director taught himself.

Regarding Lu Zhengyi's directing level, Zhang Yu was still stuck on his eyes.

From that movie, he began to arrange the work of the crew on his own, but at that time, some of his lens arrangements, plot connection, and director skills... were not yet mature and smooth.

At the moment when he saw the curse, Zhang Yu's mood was unimaginable.

From the time he filmed the old corpse in the mountain village, he knew very well that Lu Zhengyi would one day become a director in his own right.

After all, he is very serious whether he is studying or trying.

But Zhang Yu didn't expect that everything would develop so fast.

He had not read the first commandment because of his physical condition.

But I can blame this work, even if it is an abridged version, the feeling expressed by Lu Zhengyi through the camera has made the "sloppy" plot sublimated to a level that it should not be.

Of course, there must be some help from 'special effects'.

But as a director, Lu Zhengyi’s growth is visible to the naked eye.

But in this growth, as the person who once guided him, I missed the most important part.

Or because of the body.

"It would be great if I could meet you when I was young."

Zhang Yu said suddenly.

"I have goosebumps all over my body, Lao Zhang." Lu Zhengyi rubbed his arms vigorously and replied with a smile, "You are only in your fifties. According to the age statistics of modern people, you can live at least into your twenties." Years old."

"hope so."

Zhang Yu also laughed.

If he really lives into his twenties, he will probably be able to see Lu Zhengyi become a world-class horror master one day.

After all, their growth rate is too fast.

To be honest, he was looking forward to it.

"Speaking of which, have you ever gone to Guangfu to see Dr. Xu Bingcai?"

Lu Zhengyi did not dwell on the topic of 'how long can he live', "I heard from Tour Guide Wang before that he is a very good doctor."

"During this period, I originally planned to go to Guangfu with my family to take his pulse and recuperate his body. After all, my family member works very intensively every day, and the elderly family member is already very old and has many minor health problems. .”

"But after the grudge became popular recently, Guangying is so busy right now that even my husband and my father-in-law don't have time. We can only wait until later."

When Xu Bingcai was mentioned, Zhang Yu's attention changed instantly, and the loneliness in his expression disappeared.

"I went, I definitely went."

He replied, "That old immortal is not as famous as him in Guangfu. I dare say any celebrity is not as famous as him. I stayed for several days and couldn't get a place in the queue."

"In the end, I bothered Taoist Guanshan to recommend him, so I let him take a look in private."

"I can only say that he is indeed a person who has studied medicine enough to be able to practice spiritual practice."
