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

Chapter 359 [Terror Cruise]

[#富江Adaptation## Recently, Tomie, a movie shot by Lu Zhengyi and his team, has been released in major theaters. This work is adapted from the well-known work of Japanese cartoonist Ito. The greater the gimmick, the greater the risk. In most people's minds, film and television adaptation = destroying the original work. Realistic film and television scenes will destroy those beautiful fantasies that only exist in everyone's hearts. But this time, Director Lu and Teacher Zhou proved that as long as they are capable enough , reality can also defeat fantasy...]

[#AdaptationDifficulty#Adaptation is a special option in the eyes of the world. Some people hope that their favorite literary and comic works can truly become film and television scenes and appear in TV and movies, allowing them to see a more intuitive story world. But some people think that adaptation should not happen. For the same paragraph of text, everyone will have a different picture in their mind. It is the most beautiful look that is only suitable for them...]

[#富江 premiere data exceeded 100 million! #On April 27th, the movie "Fujiang" was officially released in major theaters, and then the data skyrocketed, suppressing the red carpet of the same period starring actor Liu Hua and Rui Xidan. A few years ago, who would have thought that In the Tang Dynasty, a horror film can actually suppress the box office of a comedy film, and the cast is very different...]

Major media outlets have successively reported relevant news about Fujiang.

Among them, the ones that are often compared are, of course, other highly anticipated movies of the same period.

Disparagement has always been the most commonly used method by the media. By belittling some people and works of the same type and at the same time, it promotes another work, causing controversy among fans, thereby gaining traffic.

Who is stepped down and who is promoted naturally depends on which company has good results and whose background is strong.

Judging from the current situation, Fujiang's side naturally has a greater advantage.

Especially after the previous incident in which the Guangying family fought with dozens of media, now very few media dare to smear and belittle their company's works. Even if they are not directed by Lu Zhengyi, they have also done other co-productions. Written very tactfully.

"After all, the picture in everyone's mind is definitely the most beautiful. How can the real picture compare? Only with acting skills and abilities that go beyond the normal perception of reality can people's inner fantasies be replaced."

": I am new to horror and thriller films, and I still prefer martial arts. Can Director Lu consider making a martial arts film? I don't ask for much, just adapt those classic martial arts works. Please !”

It is not just the various media that regard adaptation as the focus of writing articles.

": I was a little worried at first, fearing that it would ruin Fu Jiang's work and also ruin Director Lu's reputation. Unexpectedly, it was pretty good."

The rice bowl of adaptation is there, but few directors who care about feathers dare to touch it.

Anyway, no director can serve these audiences, no!

On this day, Lu Zhengyi rarely appeared in the group chat of the Mei Civet Cat crew.

": Although it is different from the original story, it gives me the same feeling. Especially the character Tomie, it has completely grown in my mind."

Since the number of people in their crew has increased, the number of times he speaks in the group has become less and less, and the number of words has become less and less. Even if he wants to communicate, it is through private chat.

After all, these popular novels and comic works are all top IPs and have natural traffic popularity. No one wants to eat this bowl of rice.

Fortunately, Director Lu's film this time gave them the central point of writing - adaptation.

Make money, not shabby.

": Director Lu did a good job in casting, and Teacher Zhou also performed well."

But now, the curse has been broken.

"If it hadn't been for the help of the two of them this time, I think I might have fallen to the third step like other directors."

Every detail from beginning to end is to serve the audience, and the level of seriousness is definitely no less than that of Lu Zhengyi's crew.

But the same plot and a few lines were actually presented by actors, but the audience was still dissatisfied and felt that the actors were not good enough.

It is really difficult to adapt a successful work. If you want to adapt the text and comics into a movie, you are limited to the content, special effects, and actors. Many details here will be supplemented and modified, and most viewers will be concerned about this aspect. , expressing dissatisfaction.

Many netizens are concerned about the same point.

It doesn't matter what the quality is. Just hire a few traffic stars and then run all aspects of it. Once a hot search hits, you'll get scolded and you'll get scolded. You'll have to make money first.

"I still have to thank Teacher Zhou and Teacher Li."

“It not only has to be of high quality, but it has to surpass the original work.”

Every time Lu Zhengyi's movie comes out, similar reports will naturally appear. It doesn't matter if it is reported once or twice, but if it is praised like this every time, the copywriter will look like it was directly copied and pasted.

But if you want to win this, you have to be skillful.

The entire crew spent huge sums of money to restore the original work one-to-one.

And now, he is talking loudly in the group.

……

Another crew member did not believe in evil. This time, they filmed it completely according to the original plot. As for the actors, they chose the actors who had the highest praise from fans. They said that when reading novels and comics, the first reaction was this actor.

": This should be the pinnacle of adaptations in recent years, right?"

Those who can eat this bowl of rice regardless of their reputation are shameless and just want to make money.

": After watching the movie, I felt like I was sick. I went crazy looking for Zhou Jie's works and photos, and followed her Weibo. Every post she posted, I thought about her all the time, even at work. Her wallpaper is in a daze..."

This time, the audience couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, the adaptation didn't bring out the flavor. It ruined the original work and the fantasy in their minds when reading this novel and this draft of the comic.

That's okay, it serves the plot, but if this actor isn't good, then change the actor!

There are too many comments like "scary" and "good-looking".

": Look, you can adapt it well if you put your heart into it. Can other directors and actors learn from it?"

Therefore, there are crews who film the scene completely according to the text and comic works without changing a single bit. Even the background descriptions in the novels and comics are the same. There must be a tree here in the text and picture, and it should be there in the movie and TV series.

But even so, there are still crew members who don’t believe in evil.

But, it still doesn’t work.

Lu Zhengyi's rare appearance was novel to many people in the group.

Both the actors and the director of the film were criticized as a complete mess.

The box office and ratings were once again hit hard, and the crew was scolded again.

They didn't even dare to speak for fear of brushing off his dialog box.

"Why are you still playing with your phone?"

Hospital, next to the bench in front of the obstetrics department.

"Xue Ming is preparing to give birth to a baby now, and you are playing with your mobile phone here? You can't leave this mobile phone behind, right?" Lu Yiyong scolded Lu Zhengyi in a cold voice, "You are such an old man and you are going to be a father. Why are you still here?" Holding a broken phone all day long!”

"Say less!"

Beside him, Lu Zhengyi's mother pulled his arm.

"It's okay, Xiaoyi must be busy with something."

The mother-in-law was also talking beside her. They all knew how busy Lu Zhengyi was at work.

And since he came back from filming, he rarely goes to the company and is always at home with his daughter. Isn't this enough?
As they talked, Lu Zhengyi sat there without raising his head at all.

He kept looking at his phone.

"It's a pity that Teacher Zhou doesn't plan to stay in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, if she goes out to do activities, her results should be better this time."

"By the way, how is Xiaoxu's game going? I heard that preparations have been made to arrange a closed beta. You can give me an account then."

"I, I don't want to play. I want one for my son first. Who knows how long your closed beta will last? For many games nowadays, it's normal for the closed beta to last several years..."

He kept typing and speaking in the group.

This Wang Xiaoxu game has been around for a long time.

Nowadays, horror and thriller movies have become more and more popular in Tang Dynasty, and some other industries have also begun to pay attention to this subject matter. Such as haunted houses, secret room adventures, some supernatural-themed novels, comics, ghost stories...many industries are beginning to flourish with the filming of one of his movies.

Perhaps soon, horror and horror will no longer be a niche subject, but can become mainstream for the public like other types of content.

As long as people derive something based on this type, it can create enough popularity and bring wealth.

More and more people will participate in this aspect of marketing, and then...

"boom--"

With the slight sound of the door opening, the door of the delivery room was opened from the inside.

Lu Zhengyi, who was chatting in the group one sentence after another, suddenly stood up. His tall and burly look frightened the nurse who poked her head out of the delivery room.

"How about it?"

With just one step, he walked from that seat to the nurse and asked softly, "Can I get ready to go in?"

Next to him, the rest of the family quickly came over.

"...Come with me here to change clothes."

The nurse was wearing a mask. Although she was frightened, she still hurried back.

Lu Zhengyi said nothing and followed silently.

According to the doctor's judgment, Zhang Xueming can have a caesarean section or a vaginal delivery. In the former case, the pain will be much lighter than the latter under anesthesia, but the postoperative recovery will be slower and there will be more complications.

After all, surgery, in addition to the risks of childbirth, also involves the risks of surgery.

If you choose a natural delivery, since there is no anesthesia, the pain will be more severe, but the recovery time will be shorter and the subsequent impact on the body will be less severe.

Both methods of delivery have advantages and disadvantages, and pregnant women often choose based on the doctor's judgment.

Zhang Xueming made her own choice. Since both options were suitable, she chose natural delivery.

She did not hope that she would have many side effects afterwards, and also hoped that she could recover as soon as possible.

It was also because Zhang Xueming chose to give birth naturally, so as her husband, Lu Zhengyi could accompany her during the birth.

But it's just to accompany the childbirth.

When Lu Zhengyi came to the delivery room wearing the medical uniform provided by the hospital, he saw Zhang Xueming lying on the bed, looking a little nervous.

Especially when she saw him coming in, she became even more nervous.

She lay there, trying to raise her head.

"Lie on the delivery bed with your back and waist flat, without bending."

Next to her, the obstetrician reminded her loudly, "Spread your legs and focus on the area around your belly button."

But as she spoke, Zhang Xueming's legs, which were still resting, couldn't help but start to move.

"do not move."

Lu Zhengyi walked over, reached out and held her hand tightly, "Listen to the doctor."

He said in a low voice, looking at his wife with a blank look.

Zhang Xueming avoided his gaze, with not only nervousness but also some embarrassment in her eyes.

Obviously, she didn't want her husband to see her in her current state.

"Why are you here?"

She also whispered, "Didn't you say, let mom come?"

"I must come."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her helplessly, "I am your husband."

"Attention, mother, don't be distracted."

Hearing that they were actually chatting, the obstetrician reminded him again, "You have just started to speak. It is about to reach the level of three or four fingers. There will be some obvious pain. You have to endure it and save your strength."

"Wait until the back is completely open and you can't help it anymore, then shout again."

"When the time comes, you must shout and use force to push the fetus out of the birth canal."

This obstetrician is an expert specially sought by the mother-in-law, and he is very experienced.

From reminders to side operations, everything seems very calm.

Lu Zhengyi said no more, shut his mouth obediently, and just held his wife's hand silently.

He is not a doctor, just a director.

Perhaps because of his own special circumstances, he has the strength to be confident when facing some special beings.

But during the birth process of his wife, he could do nothing but wait beside him like an ordinary person, waiting for his wife's efforts, waiting for the doctor to deliver the baby, and waiting for the result.

The delivery room was very quiet, and Zhang Xueming lay quietly. Gradually, she got used to the feeling of her husband being around, and no longer felt so ashamed or embarrassed.

But mostly, she did start to feel pain.

From time to time, there will be pain like needle pricks, one after another, and there are intervals.

"This, this is quite rhythmic."

Zhang Xueming endured the pain and said with a smile, "Is he dancing in my stomach?"

But that expression was already a little unnatural.

At this stage, the obstetrician no longer spoke to remind her not to talk. At this time, she could say something appropriate to relieve emotional tension and stay calm.

But normal people usually start screaming in pain at this stage and are not in the mood to chat.

Lu Zhengyi sat next to her, holding her hand tightly, not knowing what to do.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something and said softly, "I have already written the script for my next movie, called Terror Cruise. This time, I plan to go to the Western market to check out the company that bought the copyright to The Grudge last time. cooperate."

As soon as he said this, both the obstetrician and the nurse next to him looked over in surprise.

"I know that."

Zhang Xueming's voice suddenly stopped shaking. She looked over and stared at his face, "You have said it before, but from the name of this script, do you plan to film it at sea?"

"Ah."

Seeing that she was more energetic, Lu Zhengyi quickly continued, "But if you want to take photos at sea, the application for documents, documents, and cruise ship rentals is quite troublesome. I have asked Assistant Wang to find out."

"But judging from what he meant, it might take a month."

"But there's no rush. Once you're done here, I'll definitely stay at home. We won't be able to officially start filming until at least early next year."
