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

Chapter 362 [Assist]

Rather than taming him, Lu Zhengyi gave him a new understanding.

Spiritual beings are special. Although they are non-human existences, they possess human intelligence.

They are even different from their own kind.

In this world, it is an extremely special and independent existence.

But their position is also special.

Even if people have different positions, they may become enemies of life and death, not to mention that there are differences in species.

Before meeting Lu Zhengyi, for Black Snake, humans were enemies.

From the moment the poacher comes up the mountain, he kills and eats the poacher.

To black snakes, humans are enemies and food.

But Li Chuanxin has no confidence in this aspect.

Regarding Li Chuanxin's nervousness, Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming looked at each other.

The two of them are his saviors in this film.

"Okay, let me talk first."

So the key point is how to make it interesting so that the audience can see the end of the plot at a glance.

Lu Zhengyi asked.

"How about...? Isn't it still okay?"

"But I have watched quite a few films, such as this film by Director Li. If, I mean, if I were an audience member, I think it would be able to attract me."

This made him feel a little nervous, wondering whether he could still shoot well even if he followed the storybook.

Then, each participant died under the entanglement of Chu Renmei and Bixian.

"You speak first?"

Zhang Xueming nodded, stood up first, turned on the light, and then sat back in his seat, "I think it's not bad."

Li Chuanxin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked at Lu Zhengyi.

“Although my main job is to provide post-production assistance for projects, I don’t have much knowledge about actual shooting.”

The movie "Bixian" is actually the same as the old corpse in the mountain village. It is the kind of movie that you can think of the ending when you see the beginning and the introduction.

Of course, after reading this pen fairy, he immediately had many thoughts in his mind.

Or it should be said that his position has changed.

Upstairs, in the projection hall with the same equipment as the theater, Li Chuanxin looked nervously at Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming next to him. From the moment the movie started to the end, there was no change in the expressions on their faces.

He wasn't kidding.

Although this is his first time filming a horror film, he has been exposed to a lot of other types of movies, TV series, and web series.

Without Guangying’s investment, this project would have been abandoned long ago.

People can change their stance and personality due to various things, not to mention that spiritual beings have wisdom that is not weak, or even stronger than that of ordinary people.

For example, in some clips, the skills of the special employees in his own crew were added to the scenes.

There are even some reflections of myself in the filmed content.

For example, the switching of some shots and the design of some pictures gave Lu Zhengyi a sense of déjà vu that this film was actually shot by himself.

Her own psychological endurance is relatively high, and after meeting Lu Zhengyi, she learned about some special things and experienced some adventures that ordinary people don't have, so movies like this can't make her particularly scared.

The script is very old-fashioned, a group of people play a psychic game, or encounter some medium that is possessed by evil spirits.

"It's not like I have that kind of special fear."

He will also change.

But after Lu Zhengyi, his perception changed.

……

At this point, she paused, "But after all, I have watched too many movies, so I can still bear this level of shock."

Li Chuanxin is more than ten years older than him, and his working experience in the director's field is much longer than his.

Lu Zhengyi did this when he was an old man from a mountain village.

Even if the audience knows the plot, they will still be frightened and frightened by the scary atmosphere created by the director and production team.

After learning some techniques and experiences in shooting horror films from his own side, he quickly transformed them into something of his own.

Not to mention how close the relationship is, but at least Black Snake and Lu Zhengyi are on the same road now.

To be more precise, it’s scary-looking.

Like, hate, puzzle, fear?
Not at all.

So whether he meets humans again or faces Master Qingjing and the others, he will always have this understanding and approach.

"I don't have any negative comments. If it were me doing the filming, it would probably be like this." Lu Zhengyi also gave a good comment, "After all, I have also read your storyboard, and Teacher Yu's acting skills are even more impressive. Needless to say, those audiences will be satisfied.”

If these scenes are supplemented, this horror film shot by Li Chuanxin will definitely be a great success.

But no.

This movie was shot by Li Chuanxin, and his name is written in the director column.

I can't make my own decisions, so I shoot some material and add it to him.

Even if Li Chuanxin knew about this matter, he would not refuse due to his identity and friendship.

But Lu Zhengyi couldn't do this.

"Is this so..."

Both were good reviews, and they were given by professionals, but Li Chuanxin's face looked a little ugly.

Indeed, both pros gave it rave reviews.

But again, a little bit of information in their comments is important - if you're an audience member.

From the audience's perspective, this movie is attractive.

From the audience's perspective, they find it scary and unsettling.

in case……

It's all about what if the audience is doing it, and what about themselves? No emotion at all.

His own works and his own movies did not touch these two professionals in the slightest.

And from the perspective of the audience, they felt that this film could be successful.

But can people really empathize with each other?
Besides, Lu Zhengyi didn't care. After all, he specializes in making this type of film. His own storyboards were revised with his suggestions. He knew exactly what should appear in which place.

But what about Zhang Xueming?

Even though she has participated in the production of many film projects, she does not specialize in horror films after all.

And as a girl, she will be less courageous, right?

But in fact, she wasn't even touched at all.

This made Li Chuanxin's heart sink to the bottom.

This is his first time trying to shoot a horror film. Confidence? That's not the case at all.

After all, in this market, the only one who has been successfully recognized by the audience so far is Lu Zhengyi. Other directors, no matter how famous they are, how rich they are, whoever gets involved will die.

"Director Li, you look like you don't have much confidence."

His face was too obvious, and Lu Zhengyi stood up helplessly, "There are some things that you have not experienced... In short, we have experienced some things that are more frightening than what happened in this movie, so this movie, for There is nothing to be afraid of.”

He originally wanted to say that he had no experience.

But as he spoke, he remembered that Li Chuanxin had also experienced some special events.

It's just that he forgot. Under the interference of Taoist Master Guanshan and the others, he just seemed to have had a dream and forgot about it.

"...But the domestic environment now is very different from nine years ago."

Li Chuanxin hesitated and expressed his concerns, "I think this pen fairy is inferior to the old corpse in the mountain village you used to write."

"But now domestic audiences are more accepting and tolerant of horror and thriller themes than before. When one of your movies is released, everyone gets a workout."

"I even think that if the old corpse in the mountain village nine years ago were put now, it might not be successful."

The audience's appetite was whetted.

For example, in the past, when "The Corpse of the Mountain Village" was first released, there was an overwhelming amount of curses. Why the curses? Because I am scared and afraid of negative reviews.

But negative reviews in the opposite direction are actually a plus for horror movies.

But if this film were to be released now, that would not necessarily be the case.

"That's possible."

Zhang Xueming analyzed rationally, "In fact, not only the film and television industry, but also other industries have been vigorously developing and promoting horror and thriller culture in recent years. Among the businesses that we have taken over, there are games. , music aspect.”

"This bowl of rice is still very delicious. In terms of film and television, Ayi is the only one doing it for the time being, but there are still many people in other industries who are willing to try and break into it. After all, the costs are different."

"But what is without risk? There must be some. In the first few movies that Ayi made, he also took risks. It was only later that his fame increased and the audience recognized him, and then he was sure of victory. "

Li Chuanxin felt even more panicked, "But..."

This rational analysis does not seem to be comforting him.

"Director Li, I remember your initial goal, which was not to give it a try."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him funny, "You said at that time, someone has to give it a try. If the results are not good, it will be considered a success. As long as you put your heart and soul into making a movie and it can be released smoothly, it will be considered a success. "

Many directors failed to swallow this bowl of rice. When Li Chuanxin first came to him, his attitude towards performance goals was very casual.

If you can make money, make money. If you can't, just spend money to buy lessons. It can be regarded as a bold attempt.

"This, isn't this taking too long?"

Li Chuanxin made a sad face, it depends on the situation.

When he first said he wanted to film it, his "Records of Ancient Villages" was released and sold well.

A low-cost adventure film made him money and fame, and he was quite high-spirited at the time.

Try a horror movie that doesn't cost too much, just give it a try, the cost is low anyway.

But what is the situation now? It took several years for the film to be shot, no, it should be said that it was delayed for several years!

For a few years, he had no income at all, but made a lot of money.

Li Chuanxin even bought a house in his hometown. What he invested in was no longer "trying" or "buying lessons"!

All of a sudden, the situation was a bit like buying funds or stocks. As soon as he listened to Lu Zhengyi explain some of his opinions on horror movies, unlimited creative inspiration came out of his heart. After returning home, he wrote hard and discussed with Lu Zhengyi. While creating the storyboard.

Later, as he watched the script get better and better, he began to think about investing more.

Then troubles arose, investors withdrew their capital, the original screenwriter did not agree to authorize... some issues, Li Chuanxin invested time again.

Before he knew it, he was trapped.

Giving up means all these years have been wasted.

Li Chuanxin even obtained investment from Lu Zhengyi through favors.

And failure means...

"Anyway, the film has been shot." Lu Zhengyi reassured him, "You yourself feel that there is nothing that can be innovated or modified. Just do your best and obey fate."

"If you fail, you'll have to try again."

"Actually, Xueming and I both feel that Director Li's willingness to spend several years working hard just for one attempt is more worthy of our support than performance."

The implication of his words was already obvious.

If it fails, the couple is willing to foot the bill.

"This……"

The meaning revealed in Lu Zhengyi's words made Li Chuanxin a little stunned.

"Remember, when we first met? We were filming Alien Space, and we chatted together on the university playground where we borrowed the venue." Lu Zhengyi's face showed memories, "I said that only by succeeding together can we drive success. The progress of the industry is not enough for me alone.”

"Let a hundred flowers bloom and compete for beauty is the result I want."

"I also hope to see some good horror works here."

……

The few people had a meal together, and Li Chuanxin said goodbye first. He had to rush to the film and television drama to send the finished film for review.

But when he left, he was a little emotional and even more impressed.

For example, if they hope that a hundred flowers will bloom and compete for beauty in the industry, many entrepreneurs have said that healthy competition with each other in front of the news and the public can create more sparks.

However, privately, how many companies can do this?
They all wish that they were the only ones on this track and monopolized the entire industry.

Not to mention supporting young people and small businesses, suppression is common.

Acquire and suppress teams that may grow in advance to avoid having another competitor in the subsequent competition.

Perhaps, what many entrepreneurs say is not a joke, but that is what they thought when they were young.

'If I can succeed, I will never suppress small companies like those companies do now', 'If I can do it, I will bring the big guys to make money together,' 'If...'

It's all if.

When my company really grew and became a giant, my thoughts changed.

Now that the money is in hand, how can there be any reason to give it away?

People are selfish, after all, people's hearts are biased.

But Lu Zhengyi is so special. He really doesn't care if others can take his place and pull him down from the position of the best director in the horror and thriller category. He doesn't even care how much money he will make less if there are competitors.

As a person, an adult, and an ambitious person, he acted as if he didn't care at all.

He doesn't care at all about these temptations that most people in society cannot resist.

Li Chuanxin said goodbye, and Taoist Master Guanshan didn't stay long. After reminding him a few words about the spiritual object, he left.

"Do you have confidence in his movie?"

As soon as the door was closed, everyone in the house was alone. Lu Zhengyi and his wife sat on the sofa in the living room with their little chubby baby in their arms, enjoying the long-lost tranquility. By the way, when outsiders are around, they shouldn’t ask too straightforward questions. Come out.

"From a professional perspective, yes."

Lu Zhengyi hesitated and replied, "But this kind of work involving entertainment is very uncontrollable."

"The audience's impression of the director, the impression of the actors, and the things they encounter during the pre-heating and release processes can all affect a work."

"But some things always have to be tried. He has mustered up the courage and has taken so many steps on this road. It is still worth it for me to assist and help push from behind."
