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

Chapter 272 [An Xiaozhou who feels deeply humiliated]

"You must have seen The Grudge, right?"

In the audition room, Lu Zhengyi asked An Xiaozhou kindly.

"Yes, but I didn't make it to the premiere."

An Xiaozhou quickly replied, "At first, our domestic theater chains were more nervous than those in the Warring States and Tang Dynasty. Later, after the movie was released for a while, some of our domestic theater chains urgently purchased the screening rights."

"After I went to see it with my friends, it took me a long time to get over it. I always felt that coconut milk was hidden somewhere in my life."

"But if I had known at that time that one day I would be able to participate in the creation of the second film, I might have been able to watch the movie with a grateful heart."

She replied carefully, her tone full of flattery, and she also emphasized that she was aware of the news about the curse.

Regardless of whether this is the truth or whether she found out about it after receiving an audition invitation for the film, she did know about the film.

However, the usage and description of some of her words were also inappropriate like Director Kim's.

But Lu Zhengyi doesn’t want to pay too much attention to this aspect all the time.

"In that case, let's ask Teacher An to pretend to be a reporter."

Lu Zhengyi gave the title and gestured with the house with his palm, "For background, this is the house of Kayako."

"Currently, because more and more people are dying, the senior officials of the Republic of China have learned about the situation of the curse and have sealed the house. Now it is surrounded by guardrails on all sides, and they are preparing to build high walls to seal the house. Isolate it so it never sees the light of day."

"The specific plot of this scene was during the construction of the external wall. As a reporter who dared to report the truth, you wanted to reveal the truth here to the public, so you carefully sneaked into the house and met Kayako , it’s probably such a scene.”

Compared with the original work, The Grudge is actually completely different from the previous world in the first part.

Like an old corpse in a mountain village, Grudge was the pinnacle of terror in that era.

But in terms of plot logic, costumes and styling...if it were released in a later era, it might not necessarily become a pinnacle or classic, or even be criticized as a bad movie.

Lu Zhengyi now has the ability to be a director.

He could have just used such a theme and such an idea, but in terms of the actual plot, he created it as an audience behind the scenes.

As for the grudges of his previous life, Lu Zhengyi had many, many thoughts after reading it.

The more important point is why there is no relevant department in the film to pay attention to this matter, even though so many people died.

Of course, this issue was brought up in the follow-up American version of The Grudge. Someone destroyed the house of the Grudge, so that the resentment originally trapped in the house no longer needed to use the person who entered the house as a medium, but could be free. In the air.

But this is the plot of the later American version. In the original work, which was called a classic at the beginning, it was just that some people tried this, but were killed before they succeeded.

In the plot, there are no more people who are concerned about the curse.

At that time, many of those old movies actually had similar flaws and lacked logic in the plot.

But in those days, such flaws were not a problem. The key was whether the plot was interesting and thrilling.

If Lu Zhengyi is to be filmed in this world and attract the audience, it will definitely need to be significantly modified.

After getting a specific shooting requirement, Ahn Hyo-joo began to think about how to perform this scene well.

After all, it was an improvisation, so she didn't think about it for too long. After just a moment, she nodded to indicate that she could start.

"Wait, please wait at the door first."

However, Lu Zhengyi did not let her start her performance. Instead, he motioned for her to leave the room first, and then looked to his side, "Go and call Xiaoxu over, and then wait for Teacher An to act as her... photographer." Yes, reporters need to have a photographer next to them.”

"Remember, no matter what you see later, you just pretend you didn't see it."

"Let Teacher An feel the coconut milk first and understand this frightened reaction."

"what?"

Bai Wei looked at him blankly.

"Are we... going to let her meet the special effects artist now?"

Zhang Yu also hesitated.

In the past, they have never allowed actors to experience the regular features of their crew during the audition process.

"Although, if we wait until she sees it during the actual filming, the frightened effect may be more realistic." Lu Zhengyi explained, "But considering that last time, Teacher Abu Kuan suddenly fainted, I think, It’s better to explain to her first.”

"faint?"

Zhang Yu first asked back, "Oh yes, I seem to have seen them discussing such a thing in the group."

He did not participate in the filming of The Grudge 1.

He could only find out what interesting things happened at home through group chat with other people in the crew.

However, Lu Zhengyi, as the director, spoke up. Although the two of them had doubts, they did not interfere.

Bai Wei stood up and left. After a while, Wang Xiaoxu's figure passed directly through the wall and came over.

"Wait a minute, you will construct an illusion of Kayako behind us." Lu Zhengyi did not explain much and directly started to give instructions on his work, "Then he slowly crawled past the table and headed towards the person who was about to come in for the audition later. Teacher An Xiaozhou.”

He pointed with his finger at the route where he was waiting for Kayako.

As for how to climb and what it looks like, this is Wang Xiaoxu's job as a special effects artist.

"learn."

Wang Xiaoxu made an OK gesture, but his expression was a little helpless, "Every time like this, I always feel like a bad person."

"This is just work."

Lu Zhengyi reassured, "Then when you are ready, I will call the people in."

After getting Wang Xiaoxu's response, he loudly signaled to the two people outside the room that they could start.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the house was opened.

Ahn Hyo-joo, who was wearing a traditional suit and glasses, walked in front, while Baek Wei walked behind, with his hands on his left shoulders, as if he was carrying a camera.

Although it was just a scene record, in the last film, he had officially served as Zhang Yu's apprentice and was learning some director's work.

As a director, you need to understand all aspects of the crew's work, whether it's actors, props, makeup, or filming. Although you don't have to reach a certain level, you must at least have an understanding.

So at this moment, Bai Wei's non-physical person pretending to be a photographer is quite decent.

"Now, we have entered the house that was required to be closed by the relevant departments."

An Xiaozhou also held up his hands immaterially, as if holding a voice recorder, and said in Japanese with a slight Southern accent, "Some time ago, after the murders were frequently exposed in this room, many people It’s like a haunted house or a haunted house.”

"Less than a few days after the incident, the relevant departments suddenly ordered all surrounding residents to move out and started construction in the surrounding area. However, the murderer and the investigation were not mentioned at all. Many netizens speculated that The identity of the murderer may be related to Kyoto Prefecture.”

"In response to this, people nearby raised their voices and erected high signs and banners to protest..."

These were not lines written in advance, but she made them up temporarily based on Lu Zhengyi's title.

She was explaining to Bai Wei, who was carrying a camera next to her, or rather to the camera, as if she was an on-site reporter from the news network.

Lu Zhengyi watched this scene with great interest. He was very satisfied with the improvised lines and performance.

And soon, An Xiaozhou, who was originally focused on explaining, suddenly paused, but his back showed fear, and his eyes were fixedly staring behind them.

"Ok?"

Behind the table, Lu Zhengyi turned his head in confusion, and next to him, Zhang Yu had the same reaction.

They all thought that Wang Xiaoxu had already started. But the strange thing is that when they looked back, they didn't see any illusions.

Lu Zhengyi looked blankly at the invisible Wang Xiaoxu next to him, and he felt the same emotion from his face.

Obviously, An Xiaozhou was just performing a one-man show.

After all, he had told her in advance in the plot he just mentioned that she needed to see Kayako's performance.

But from this point alone, her performance is worthy of being someone who can win the Best Actress award in a country where entertainment is involved.

The look and look just now really made them both think that Wang Xiaoxu, the special effects artist, had already started working.

‘It’s time for the opposite actor to appear. ’

While Lu Zhengyi was satisfied with An Xiaozhou's performance, he couldn't help but give Wang Xiaoxu a look.

Wang Xiaoxu got the reaction and quickly started thinking.

And as he was thinking, a woman wearing a white robe with disheveled hair suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Yu turned around when they were satisfied. Then, they paused again when they saw An Xiaozhou performing in the open space in front of them.

Compared to the pause just now, her pause this time was more sluggish.

The whole person stood there dumbly, staring blankly behind them, as if the computer had crashed.

Then, when Kayako twisted his body, lay down like a centipede, and crawled past the table, An Xiaozhou let out a sharp scream.

The screaming sound was wanton and joyful.

It was as if he no longer cared about his surroundings and was shouting unscrupulously in the vast plains and on the edge of the mountain cliffs.

"What, what's wrong!"

Startled by the scream, Bai Wei suppressed his inner emotions with difficulty, pretended not to see it, and asked An Xiaozhou.

"...Ghost, ghost!"

An Xiaozhou, who had just lost his mind just now, finally came to his senses and reacted after screaming. While trembling, he grabbed Bai Wei's arm with a pair of palms, and the sharp nails were pricked. It got into someone's clothes, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

She was no longer speaking Japanese, but was speaking in Southern Korean that few people present could understand.

Although several people present could not understand her, they could all feel her excitement from her emotions.

"what?"

Bai Wei bit his lip with his teeth and thought about the saddest thing in his life. Only then was he able to continue acting, "What are you talking about, Reporter An?"

"Reporter An?"

An Xiaozhou raised his voice and finally realized that the others couldn't understand what he was saying. He quickly switched back to Tang language, "That! That!"

"Can't you see?"

"There's a ghost!"

The language she used was no longer the idiom of acting, and while she was speaking, she kept pulling at Bai Wei who was blocking the door.

But with her small appearance, how could she push such a big and thick man?

"What the hell?"

Bai Wei looked at her blankly, "Reporter An, if you shout so loud, people outside will find out!"

He kindly reminded that according to the script just set, there were construction workers outside at this time.

"Go away! There's a ghost!"

An Xiaozhou began to cry, tears falling down.

As Kayako squirmed and crawled, her back was completely pressed against the wall, and her palms were weakly pushing Bai Wei, who was blocking the door next to her.

"No more acting, no more acting!"

"There is a ghost, there really is a ghost!"

"Director Lu, I won't act anymore, I won't act anymore!"

Kayako's disheveled head was right in front of him, and An Xiaozhou seemed to be able to feel the putrid smell emanating from it.

She closed her eyes tightly and kept shouting, but at least she didn't faint from fright.

But for a while, An Xiaozhou didn't feel the feeling of being pinched by the neck, or having his face bitten by teeth. Instead, he heard a "papapapa" clap.

"Okay, very good. Teacher An's reaction is very real."

Then, Director Lu Zhengyi’s praising voice sounded.

"I told you I wasn't acting!"

An Xiaozhou couldn't help but roar loudly, and when she opened her eyes, there was no coconut milk in front of her.

Lu Zhengyi, Bai Wei, and Zhang Yu were looking at themselves with satisfaction.

"Teacher An doesn't seem to know our crew very well."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "Our crew will use virtual technology to create ghosts and gods that infiltrate people during filming."

Virtual, virtual technology?

An Xiaozhou looked at him blankly, tears slowly falling from his face.

She didn't react. What do you mean?

"So it's fake?"

She held up a pale face and said, "You can see it just now, that Gay Coconut."

"Well, virtual technology."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "When the actual shooting comes, you will need to act with such a ghost. Of course, sometimes real people will also be arranged to play. We have also invited the actors Kayako and Saeki Minna to participate in the second scene. Ministry of Photography.”

His tone was calm, and he didn't feel guilty at all about what he had just done.

"Heh, hehe..."

After An Xiaozhou listened to Lu Zhengyi's explanation, he was stunned for several seconds, then he smiled miserably and wanted to do something else, but his body fell weakly along the wall against which his back was leaning.

At this moment, her back was completely wet with sweat.

Although it only lasted a few seconds, the moment just now was definitely the most thrilling moment in her life. She didn't have such intense emotions when she won the Best Actress for the first time.

Even almost...

An Xiaozhou only cursed 'Assi' in his heart, and used all the curse words in his life.

But the person in front of her was the director, and she would be participating in his movie next, so she could only curse in her heart, but on the surface, she could only show a helpless expression, "Director Lu, you were really... scared just now. It's my turn, why can't you tell me in advance."

Humiliating, but helpless.

But she accepted it quickly.

After all, in the Southern Dynasties, as an actor or a person in the entertainment industry, he would have to experience such humiliation once, twice or even hundreds of times.

"Teacher An, why don't we watch the replay."

Lu Zhengyi motioned her to look at the real camera in the corner, instead of Bai Wei's air of no real performance, "If you can achieve the reaction just now during the actual shooting, I think The Grudge 2 may be able to More successful than The Grudge 1."
