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

Chapter 278 [Pause shooting]

"A Yong seems to have been sleeping since he came to the set this time."

When the filming was free, Wang Xiaoxu carried A Yong to the temporary tent in the monitoring room.

Nowadays, there are more and more people in the crew, and he doesn't look out of place among them, so he doesn't hide himself all the time.

"I went up and took him to see him once. He has been very lazy since he became a senior of the same kind."

While checking the footage, Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "I don't know what they talked about."

The old lady Huang said something to A Yong, but he didn't eavesdrop at that time.

Afterwards, he did not ask Ayong.

"Could it be that he was taught some method of practicing in dreams?" Wang Xiaoxu placed A Yong, who had turned into a 'liquid', with his feet up on the table. Looking at him with his eyes closed and lying limply on the table, "You don't even wake up. Is it true?"

As he spoke, he poked his stomach with his finger.

"You can never wake a man who is pretending to sleep."

Lu Zhengyi took a moment to glance at the limp A Yong and said, "He is actually awake, but he just doesn't want to pay attention to you or open his eyes."

"laugh--"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ayong's mouth made a sound of unknown meaning, but his eyes were still closed.

"...So you're awake!" Wang Xiaoxu stared at Ayong with wide eyes and looked at Ayong with dissatisfaction, "Master Yong, I usually pay tribute to so many things, so I asked you to help me be a model, but you are not willing to help me. ?”

"Meow."

Ayong replied lazily, turned over, his eyes still closed.

"He said that other people bought the things, and you just borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha."

Lu Zhengyi stared at the monitor, but acted as a translator.

"..."

Wang Xiaoxu was a little confused, "Didn't he just 'meow'? Didn't he mean so much?"

"Meow."

Ayong meowed again.

"He said don't interpret cat language in human terms."

Lu Zhengyi continued to translate, "Also, he doesn't want to be a spiritual pet in the game."

At this point, he paused and turned around to give his opinion, "What do you mean, you are planning to add a pet function to the game you are making? As a horror game, I think your idea is a bit hasty."

"Why is there still a broken sentence?"

Wang Xiaoxu muttered, but when he heard the future angel investors raised questions, he quickly replied, "We have no intention of making a pet system. It should be said that it is... a partner."

"The game we plan to make is not based on the world background of the "curse" fan work."

"Currently we are planning to complete the prequel first, which is the story between Chenjiacun and the Big Black Buddha. The background of the story is set in the ancient Indian country. The main line is that the ancestors of Chenjiacun invited the Big Black Buddha back from a temple. Hometown, may you have abundant wealth."

"The player needs to play the role of the ancestor of the Chen family, explore the ancient Indian country, find the temple and invite the Big Black Buddha Mother back."

"When the Curse was released, among the fan works that won the Light and Shadow Awards and recognition, in addition to this main line, there were also some sub-lines interspersed. During the exploration process, you would encounter some ghosts and monsters from the ancient India, such as Rakshasa and Yaksha... ... and other legends, so the ancestors of the Chen family must have a certain amount of supernatural power in order to successfully find the temple."

As he spoke, he paused, "We originally planned to add settings such as Taoism, but after thinking about it, we withdrew this idea because if we added this setting, the game would become more It’s like an adventure fighting game, not a horror game.”

"Besides, if the ancestors of Chenjiacun were so powerful, how could his descendants be backfired?"

"Nowadays, real horror and thriller games should be in the direction of decryption. The protagonist himself is not powerful, but after collecting some special items, he can use the items to drive away or even kill ghosts."

Listening to his explanation, Lu Zhengyi nodded silently and returned his eyes to the monitor.

Wang Xiaoxu is right, the emotions of fear and horror stem from one's own lack of strength.

But if fighting elements are added to horror games, the players will become like themselves. Even when facing ghosts, the first thought is not to run away, but to punch first to see how many monsters and how many HPs there are.

"I suggest that some folk methods can be incorporated, such as drawing lots, facial makeup, throwing the Holy Grail, asking for rice, inserting willow branches, ringing instruments... and other methods."

Lu Zhengyi tried to suggest, "Of course, these folk laws are relatively famous in our country, but if your background is set in the ancient Indian country, it may have to be modified. However, there are some legends in the ancient Indian country. And witchcraft, it’s actually pretty much the same as ours.”

For example, wearing Nuo noodles, and then exorcising evil spirits through dancing and worship.

There are such records in the ancient history of many countries, but the patterns carved and painted on the masks, and the form of dance... are different.

"understood."

Wang Xiaoxu accepted the investor's suggestion.

"But what about you?"

But soon, Lu Zhengyi asked about his situation again, "How are you doing recently?"

"Well...nothing has changed."

Wang Xiaoxu scratched his head, "I feel like I am becoming more and more human. If I hadn't occasionally used the power of illusion, I would have almost forgotten that I was a ghost."

Especially after actually coming into contact with the living brothers, he really felt that he was not dead.

I am still alive, still exist in this world, and I have completed some of my thoughts when I was in school with my brothers.

"Really."

Lu Zhengyi replied without meaning, "It's pretty good. I hope it can continue."

"By the way, let's talk about my changes."

Wang Xiaoxu suddenly said, with hesitation on his face, "Ning Ning has Yin and Yang eyes, right? To what extent can her eyes see?"

"It can only be said that it looks like yin and yang eyes, but it's not exactly yin and yang eyes."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him doubtfully, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her eyes?"

During the filming, he didn't notice anything wrong with the little girl.

"Let me tell you first, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Wang Xiaoxu explained in advance, "I just happened to pass by. When I walked through the wall, I happened to hear her secretly telling her mother... Lao Zhang seems to be in trouble soon."

"I mean, life is short."

"So I just want to ask, are that little girl's eyes so powerful? She can even tell how long a person will live."

As soon as he said this, Lu Zhengyi paused.

On the table, Ayong also stood up.

"That's what she said?"

Lu Zhengyi stared at Wang Xiaoxu closely and repeated.

"Yeah...that's probably what it means."

Faced with the gazes of Lu Zhengyi and A Yong, Wang Xiaoxu instinctively took a step back, "Because she didn't even finish what she said, her mother stopped her and told her to treat it as if she didn't know and to keep it secret and not to mention it to anyone."

"When did this happen?"

Lu Zhengyi asked again.

"Um... the time when I just turned on the phone."

Wang Xiaoxu replied, "No, it should be the day of the power-on ceremony."

"It's been so long, almost a month has passed."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him in surprise, "You're pretty good at hiding it, and you're just leaking it now?"

No wonder he always felt that the little girl was absent-minded that day.

"That's not true. I also feel that it's hard to talk about this kind of thing." Wang Xiaoxu said sheepishly, "Mr. Li's words are quite reasonable. It's right to pretend not to know. But when I think about it carefully, I I feel like I should let you know."

He is actually quite conflicted. Whether it was the matter itself or the fact that Liu Baoning and his daughter did not talk about it, but for him, these two points were quite inappropriate.

Caught in the middle, he, an honest man, didn't know what to do.

I hold it in my heart and feel very uncomfortable.

"I see."

Lu Zhengyi replied calmly and returned his gaze to the monitor.

But his reaction made Wang Xiaoxu confused.

"Then...what should we do now?"

He stood there, somewhat at a loss.

"What should I do? What else can I do?"

Lu Zhengyi said without looking back, "Don't you want Ayong to help you? He's already standing up, why don't you hurry up and beg him more."

How to do?

What would you do if you knew someone close to you was dying?

……

"It's over, it's over."

It was the end of another day of shooting, and Zhang Yu clapped his hands happily.

Next to him, Bai Wei used a headset to convey instructions for cleaning up the venue.

At the end of May,

The crew of "The Grudge 2" has finished filming the scene in Kayako's house, and the follow-up will be more time on location.

The crew's filming went smoothly, and nothing happened as Zhang Xueming worried.

It was probably Hebao Company, the intermediary, who made the effort and provided the guarantee.

When The Grudge 1 was originally filmed, Hebao Company was not an investor, but was responsible for the filming application and the introduction of the film out of a previous favor to Guangying, and the revenue ratio was not high.

After all, at that time, except for Zhang Xueming and the rest of the crew, basically no one was optimistic about Lu Zhengyi.

Whether it was other people in the country or some companies in the country who knew about the filming work, everyone felt that this was another impulsive act of young and passionate people.

Many people who made money in China when they were young have the idea of ​​​​going abroad to earn foreign currency.

No one wants to be trapped in the domestic market, but wants to expand overseas.

As close as the Elephant Kingdom, the Vietnam Kingdom, the Southern Dynasty Kingdom, and the He Kingdom, as far away as the Lighthouse Kingdom and the Kangaroo Kingdom, no matter how many good works he has produced at home, a great director will be like a fledgling director once he goes to overseas markets. boy.

Even Lu Zhengyi’s father Lu Yiyong, or the well-known Zhang Changmou, they have tried to attack overseas markets in the past.

Although there are successful cases that have earned hundreds of millions of dollars, there are more cases of failure.

Zhang Changmou’s smallest box office of Lighthouse was US$270,000, which was equivalent to only one million in Tang Yuan. Compared with the investment in filming, promotion, and film arrangement, the income was completely insufficient. of.

Not only did he lose reputation, he also lost money.

Therefore, when filming The Grudge 1, Hebao Company did not invest more funds, but only paid a very small amount of funds in order to repay the favor owed to Guangying.

Now, with the popularity of The Grudge 1, when filming the second part, they actively proposed the idea of ​​joining.

Nowadays, Hebao Company also holds a part of the revenue from the film The Grudge 2.

For the sake of this part of their income, they should not sit back and watch other companies in the Chinese entertainment industry interfere with Lu Zhengyi's filming.

"How about it, Lao Zhang, do you think our drama can be popular?"

Lu Zhengyi leaned over and asked cheerfully as well.

"You are becoming more and more utilitarian." Lao Zhang turned his head, "Every day, you are either asking me if I expect this film to win any awards, or asking me if this film can be popular. Can the box office exceed the 2 billion mark?"

"How do I know your questions? I'm not a god."

"Besides, you are more like a god."

"Isn't this because you are a highly experienced director and want to give some encouraging words?" Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "We have all reached this level. Whether the film will be successful or not is not determined during the filming process. Do you know?"

"That was in China. This was my first time filming a movie abroad. How do I know if the people here are good or not?" Lao Zhang rubbed his cold hands, but couldn't help but feel happy on his face, "This If foreign markets were so predictable, there wouldn’t be so many people stopping at home.”

But as he spoke, he still gave some explanation, "But I think our movie will definitely be successful."

"That effect, oh, I feel like it's oozing when I'm standing outside the camera looking at it."

"Okay, it will definitely work."

"As long as you have confidence, I have confidence too."

Lu Zhengyi chuckled, "But Lao Zhang, this is your first time filming abroad, which is quite precious. Otherwise... how about giving you the signature of the director of this film? Then you can receive an award or something, which is also It can be regarded as Guang Zongyao..."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Zhang turned and walked away, saying as he walked:

"Crazy, I'm telling you, if you keep acting like this, I won't be filming the next movie with you."

"I signed my name as the director? What have I done in this play that I can still sign my name as the director?"

"The characters and plot of the script were discussed together by everyone, and you were the one arranging the directing. Xiaowei was the one who took the lead. I was happily watching the show, but you think I can still be a director? I'm crazy. "

"Isn't this the first time I've seen Guangzong Yaozu once?" Lu Zhengyi hurriedly caught up, "I'm going to exclude you this time."

"It can still be calculated like this."

Zhang Yu said with a straight face, "Then if we can make The Grudge 3, next time I have to give Xiaowei's signature."

"It's not impossible. Let's enjoy it together."

Lu Zhengyi said seriously.

"Hey, here's another good thing."

At this time, Bai Wei's voice sounded from the headset on Zhang Yu's ear, "Let me remind you, master, you forgot to turn off the headset. This is a public screen."

"Director Lu, if I have the opportunity to film The Grudge 4, can I also be a director?"

A female voice sounded next, it was Yu Wenxiu.

"And me and me."

Ajie, the prop master, came to join in the fun.

"Okay, okay, that's almost it."

Zhang Yu took off his headset with a serious face, "Everyone of them thinks their signature is a game. Is it a game?"

As he said that, he became serious, "Lu Zhengyi, I'm not joking with you. Don't mess around this time. If you really write my name in the director's column, I can directly start a live broadcast to scold you." .”

"Although I haven't been a director yet, which is a bit regretful."

"But I don't want honors that don't belong to me. In this movie, The Grudge 2, I'm basically just a gangster, just going through the motions. If you can give me the title of assistant director, I'm already very satisfied."

Lu Zhengyi looked helpless.

Substantial honors such as names and awards have no effect on him.

What he enjoys more is just the filming process and the audience's reaction to the film.

That was what he considered an honor.

"By the way, I've always heard you say that I want to go back to China on the way."

Zhang Yu mentioned other things, "How many days will it take, right? It just so happens that we will switch to location shooting, which will also require some preparation time."

"But where are you going? This is the first time I've seen you leave in the middle of a shoot."

"Xiao Le is about to take the college entrance examination. I think I should go and have a look." Lu Zhengyi did not hide it from him. "Other children have their parents accompanying them to the examination room. The children in our crew must also have them."

"Xiao Le?"

Zhang Yu was a little stunned when he heard this title.

After a while, he trembled suddenly, "Liang Le, Teacher Liang's son, right?"
