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

Chapter 240 [I can see you like her very much]

Midnight,

In the rental house, whether it is the living room, bedroom, or bathroom, all the lights are on, and the whole house is brightly lit.

At the same time, the TV in the living room was also turned on, and the volume was turned up very high, making the whole room seem a little noisy.

But no one paid attention to the content on the TV.

The entire crew was outside the camera, staring at the sofa with bated breath. Cai Siqi, who played Zhang Xin, was sitting on the sofa with her knees in her arms, huddled up.

"All units should pay attention to the red lines drawn on the ground and stay away from the camera." Lu Zhengyi's commanding voice sounded from the headset, "Akang, don't forget to follow the route, from the long shot to the close shot. Cooperate with Xiaoxu to complete this long shot."

Following his instructions, Wei Kang personally picked up the camera and started walking along the route rehearsed before shooting.

At the same time, the camera on his shoulder was always pointed at the sofa.

When the TV series played on the TV reached the scheduled content, a gray shadow appeared in the corner of the room, seeming to be passing by the living room and heading to the kitchen.

In the camera, Zhang Xin, who was huddled and sitting on the sofa, glanced at the corner under his messy hair.

Then, she suddenly shouted, "Who!"

But just as Zhang Xin's voice rang out, the figure had already walked into the kitchen.

Several actors onlookers widened their eyes and looked around in surprise, trying to see where the projection was coming from, but for a long time, they found nothing.

The long-lens shooting continued, and Zhang Xin's already haggard and gloomy face turned stiff when he witnessed 'a person' walking into the kitchen.

She stood up tremblingly, and every step she took seemed to have gone through a mental struggle.

Wei Kang always carried the camera and stood behind her, marching forward with her.

At the same time, the volume of the TV in the living room was gradually lowered under the control of other members of the crew.

From the director's monitor, Lu Zhengyi watched the scene in front of him from a third-person perspective.

It's like playing a horror game played by a real person.

Especially in the headset, when the noisy sound of the TV changes with the movement of the characters, it is even more immersive.

As a person who 'can only see ghosts the day after tomorrow', Zhang Xin tiptoed along the wall and stuck his head out with great difficulty, trying to see what was going on inside.

But when she finally plucked up the courage and looked into the kitchen, there was nothing in the scene before her eyes and in the camera.

Under the bright light, there was nothing in the kitchen, which seemed to have not been used for a long time.

"call--"

The sound of gasping reached Lu Zhengyi's ears through the radio headset, allowing him to clearly feel Zhang Xin's nervousness.

And when the camera began to turn following her breathing, she was about to return to the living room.

A black shadow suddenly passed in front of Zhang Xin and the camera, and his heavy breathing stopped!

A short-haired man wearing a white shirt!

He couldn't see his face clearly, but he definitely walked out of the empty kitchen and passed in front of them!

"..."

The camera clearly recorded the dull look on Zhang Xin's face for only a few seconds, and then, a sharp scream sounded from her mouth.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The harsh sound directly overshadowed the TV, which had already reduced its volume.

At the same time, she looked into the living room, but there was no sign of the short-haired man in the living room!
Zhang Xin, no, no, it should be Cai Siqi.

At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she was acting or if she was really scared.

She had obviously read the script and knew that a figure would suddenly pass by in front of her, but at that moment, she couldn't help but show her truest emotion, which was panic!
Even now, Cai Siqi couldn't help but glance at other people outside the camera.

Except for the crew, the other actors had the same horror and disbelief in their eyes as hers.

Compared to themselves who are in close contact, they may see it more clearly when they are outside the camera.

"Crack!"

Bai Wei interrupted the thoughts of the actors present.

Upstairs, Lu Zhengyi took off the headset.

"not bad."

He hesitated, "But she was clearly acting out in the end, and there was a sense of fragmentation."

"It's ready, let's use it. This one, her reaction just now is quite real." Zhang Yu also took off the headset, "Although she was out of character in the last part, from the plot point of view, her reaction was also real." It’s normal.”

Lu Zhengyi was silent.

After a while, he looked at the time on his phone and said, "Let's get here today. It's a bit late. It's time to call it a day."

As for whether to use this item, he planned to think about it again.

Zhang Yu saw his plan and didn't say anything to persuade him.

After all, Lu Zhengyi is the director, the one who decides whether this filming can be included in the feature film.

"Speaking of which, Director Lu, do we want to record the behind-the-scenes of the filming this time so that we can release them for marketing during the movie promotion?"

But then, he mentioned the matter of publicity.

They often consider subsequent publicity matters while filming.

For example, when it is released, release some materials from the filming, or combine some news with current events to increase the discussion of the topic so that the audience can't distinguish between true and false.

Their films are successful because they attach great importance to the quality of the work itself and its publicity.

But that was before.

"No."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "We don't need to do those things anymore, Lao Zhang."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yu was stunned.

Then, he nodded sadly, "Yes, it's no longer necessary."

He has been left behind for too long.

No, it was just over a year, actually not that long.

But the crew is developing too fast.

Lu Zhengyi listened to the emotion in his words, but didn't say much. That was the truth.

There are many ways to express horror and horror.

In the past, Lu Zhengyi's favorite method was to start from the plot and add a large number of things that people in the Tang Dynasty often come into contact with in the shooting details to create a sense of reality.

The old mountain village corpse is like this, the curse is like this, the eyes...are all like this.

These four words, "It's terrifying to think about it", have been implemented in all the movies he has shot before.

From the plot of the movie itself to the marketing of reality outside the movie, each of his horror movies has woven a large web. The more the audience is immersed in the movie, the more they think about it, and the more they understand it, the more they are unable to break free. .

The intersection between reality and fiction allows the audience to remain deeply impressed by the plot and characters after watching the movie.

But that was before.

After starting to shoot The Grudge, Lu Zhengyi studied the shooting styles of many other countries and began to try different genres.

In fact, compared to the previous style, the state during the filming of "The Grudge" is a better way to bring out one's own advantages.

That is, special effects.

Previously, the special effects of her films were all completed by Liang Meijuan. Although she is stronger than Wang Xiaoxu in terms of ability, she is far inferior to Wang Xiaoxu in terms of plot service.

At most, she can only act by herself, or change into someone else to act.

As a result, her power is very limited.

Although under Lu Zhengyi's arrangement, Chu Renmei's role and Li Ruonan's role were both outstanding, but when it came to the double pupils, her role was almost gone.

But Wang Xiaoxu is different. His ability is almost created to add special effects to movies.

"Dong dong dong."

A knock on the door sounded from outside the house.

"Come in." Lu Zhengyi knew who was outside without thinking.

Sure enough, Cai Siqi walked into the house very nervously.

"You guys chat, I'll go talk about finishing the work."

Zhang Yu stood up and walked out.

Before leaving, he even closed the door.

"have to."

Lu Zhengyi stood up helplessly and opened the door again.

Then, he looked at Cai Siqi and asked, "What happened to that last paragraph just now?"

"I, I was scared."

Cai Siqi didn't sit down, just stood there, "I'm sorry, director! I will perform well next time!"

The moment Bai Wei shouted "Ka", she suddenly remembered that she was acting.

When acting, actors suddenly look away from other people outside the camera. It is a common mistake, but it is the worst mistake to make.

The result of this is probably that the audience will complain, "Why is XX always looking to the side? Is she looking at the teleprompter without memorizing her lines?" and "The moment her eyes looked at the camera, my brain shrank. The director of the scene actually left comments such as "How did you choose this kind of acting..."

"Don't apologize in a hurry yet."

Lu Zhengyi sat down in front of the director's monitor again and replayed the clip, "You first have a look at what you just shot."

Upon hearing this, Cai Siqi nodded silently and came over.

Then, she stood nervously beside her, staring at the camera unblinkingly.

Just standing nearby made Cai Siqi salivate faster, but a mouthful of saliva got stuck in her throat.

She wanted to swallow it, but she was afraid that if she moved too much, she would be unable to go up or down.

The whole person stood there, looking very overwhelmed.

"Okay, what do you think?"

Finally, after the clip was played, Lu Zhengyi looked at her again and asked her thoughts on this part of the filming.

In his eyes, the nervousness on Cai Siqi standing in front of him almost overflowed.

It looks like a person with social phobia, standing in a crowded shopping mall waiting for someone, every movement seems very abrupt.

"I, I didn't act well."

Cai Siqi replied softly.

When facing Lu Zhengyi, she was really under great psychological pressure.

"...Is this what you think?"

Lu Zhengyi frowned, "Do you think this clip can be used in the feature film?"

"cannot!"

Cai Siqi quickly replied, "I'm sorry, director, I wasted everyone's time. I will definitely shoot well tomorrow night."

But Lu Zhengyi did not respond to her words, but asked, "Can't this clip be used in the feature film?"

Cai Siqi paused.

After a while, she asked cautiously, "...then, can that be included in the feature film?"

"Can this be included in the feature film?"

Lu Zhengyi then asked rhetorically.

So is it possible or not?

Cai Siqi almost burst into tears.

Lu Zhengyi waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for a definite answer, so he sighed helplessly.

"Can't you have some ideas of your own?"

He tapped his fingers on the table, "This clip was shot well and can be used."

"But there is one thing that is not very good. Your performance before and after is different, which creates a sense of fragmentation in the characters."

"Then why does this happen? Because you didn't think about the character at all. You acted according to what was written in my script without any ideas of your own."

"It's not so much you who is acting, but it's me who is acting. You don't even have a rough picture in your mind beforehand."

"So much so that when encountering a sudden situation, I didn't even realize that I was in trouble."

Cai Siqi lowered her head.

"I really want to laugh now."

The way Lu Zhengyi looked at her, "You give me the feeling that you have a treasure house in the sky and the key to the treasure house in your hand, but you are not willing to take the time to walk a long way to take out the treasure."

At this point, he shook his head again, "No, that's not right. It should be said that no one told you to withdraw money, so you wouldn't withdraw it yourself."

"You are indeed very talented in interpretation. As a director, I tell you a play. No matter what I say, you can perform it. I thought this was good before, but now it seems that your talent may only be suitable for acting. A small supporting role with a short scene.”

"You may not be able to do those protagonists who have long scenes and whose characters grow in the plot."

After saying these words, Cai Siqi suddenly raised her head.

"Fortunately, there are not many scenes to be filmed. Starting tomorrow, the filming will be suspended, and you and Huang Yunli will exchange the scripts." Lu Zhengyi said softly, and then compared a second-time heroine with a fourth- or fifth-time heroine. The actress of the supporting actress was changed.

"Can……"

Cai Siqi looked a little anxious, planning to say something.

But when the words came to her lips, she stopped again and looked at Lu Zhengyi blankly.

"It seems that you have accepted it." Lu Zhengyi looked at the way she stopped talking, turned off the monitor, and stood up, "By the way, regarding the role of Xue'er that you are going to play next, you can give it to me again. I write a character analysis.”

"If the writing is not good, then we may not have any need to cooperate."

"Also, regarding the news about the role swap between you and Huang Yunli, please inform her."

Listening to these words, Cai Siqi pursed her lips.

For a while, she nodded silently.

……

"So, are you really going to replace her?"

In the hotel, Lu Zhengyi followed Zhang Xueming on a video call.

"It's not uncommon in this circle to change roles on the spot."

He looked at the people in the video and replied with a smile, "If it doesn't fit, you have to replace it."

Changing roles is no small matter, let alone the heroine.

As a wife, investor, and partner, Zhang Xueming naturally needs to know.

"You are the director, you have the final say."

In the video, Zhang Xueming hesitated for a moment and then replied with a smile, "I won't interfere with the filming. You just make your choice."

"But then, do you have to stop filming? After all, they both have to rethink their roles."

"This is your first time doing something like this that delays progress."

"There is no way. The little girl has been passive for a long time. She really waits for others to help her make decisions. She has no idea of ​​fighting for it." Lu Zhengyi looked a little helpless, "Yeah, if the time comes and she makes the wrong choice, she can do it. I feel comfortable blaming the wrong results on others, saying that it was you who asked me to make this choice in the first place, and you can’t blame me if you make mistakes now.”

"But if you don't fight for it at the beginning, and you make a mistake later, the person who made the choice will certainly bear the responsibility, but doesn't the person who accepts other people's arrangements without any resistance have no responsibility at all?"

"That's not how it works. Since you asked me to help you choose, I will choose according to my ideas."

As he spoke, his tone was full of regret.

Zhang Xueming looked at Lu Zhengyi seriously through the camera for a while, and suddenly said, "I can see that you like her very much."

"what?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little confused.
