Chapter 28: Telling a Ghost Story

After meeting with the female director Zhang Qi, in fact, Bai Yi has always remembered this incident in his heart, as well as what Zhang Qi said at the beginning.

Bai Yi also deliberately watched the "Killing Game" that Zhang Qi grinded out in four years, and it has to be said that it is a very wonderful movie, especially the topics about human nature and selfishness are discussed more profoundly.

Thinking of Zhang Qi's previous statement that he planned to make a supernatural film at the beginning, Bai Yi couldn't help but be a little funny.

is different from the previous radio and television department, which seems to be more open to film culture, as long as it does not exceed a certain scale, the film department will not be too harsh, and it is precisely for this reason that Zhang Qi's "Killing Game" was released.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will become a banned film.

Regarding ghost films such as supernatural and unnatural, the film department did not impose a mandatory ban, otherwise Zhang Qi would not have planned to shoot such a banned film.

However, relatively speaking, ghost movies such as supernatural are still too niche, most of them take the path of bloody horror, and it is difficult to produce some amazing and classic works.

Since Zhang Qi decided to shoot such a film, he definitely wouldn't want to make that kind of mediocre work, it can be seen that Zhang Qi has a sense of arrogance and ambition in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have started with this theme.

For this reason, Bai Yi made a special appointment with Zhang Qi and planned to tell Zhang Qi a story.

A ghost story that isn't scary.

・・・・・・

"What's the matter? I suddenly made an appointment with your Aunt Zhang, could it be that I was planning to snatch the drama in the hands of the charter for me?"

Zhang Qi made a joke and looked at Bai Yi with interest.

Bai Yi shook his head and said, "I don't have that ability, Director Zhang is already preparing to shoot and start casting, how can he grab it." ”

"Then what is the reason why you came to me today?"

Bai Yi smiled and said, "You didn't say it last time, if you write any good stories in the future, you must tell Aunt Zhang in advance?"

Hearing Bai Yi's words, Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, and a pair of eyes suddenly opened wide, and he asked in surprise: "What good story did you really think of?" Quick, tell Aunt Zhang about it, let me hear it." ”

Saying that, Zhang Qi sat directly beside Bai Yi, waiting for Bai Yi's words.

Bai Yi saw Zhang Qi so excited, and laughed dumbly, he now feels more and more that Zhang Qi's personality is very interesting, not like an adult, but like a child, and his temperament is so straight, he always has some strange ideas, and he can't hold his breath even more than him.

"Aunt Zhang, didn't you say last time that you planned to make a supernatural movie at the beginning, did you find a good book?"

"Nope. ”

When Zhang Qi heard Bai Yi ask, he said honestly: "Now the film industry seems to be lively, and the box office is constantly breaking through, but the quality of that movie is really poor, and it can't be called a movie at all." Movies are business, but they are also an art, and the movies that are released now are purely commercial, and they are simply here to make money. ”

"In such a situation, a good book is a rare treasure at all, let alone a script with a supernatural theme. Movies with supernatural themes are all about those horror paths, which are not interesting, make some suspense music, eerie pictures, and deliberately scary, I may never make such a movie in my life. ”

Bai Yi didn't expect him to ask, Zhang Qi actually complained to him about the current film market, smiled, he didn't express any opinion on this issue, but it can be seen that Zhang Qi is indeed a film director with his own bottom line.

"My story is also a supernatural thriller, I just don't know if you will like it, Aunt Zhang. ”

"You say it first, I don't think you came up with an old-fashioned ghost movie, or you wouldn't have asked me to meet here. ”

Bai Yi smiled, his eyes flashed, and said, "This story is about a nine-year-old boy who claims to be able to see the dead. ”

"See the dead?"

Zhang Qi thought for a while, frowned slightly, and asked, "Could it be a ghost story like psychic eyes and yin and yang eyes?"

Bai Yi shook his head and did not answer the question, how could this story be a ghost story like a vulgar yin-yang eye, and continued: "There is a psychiatrist Lin Mai, who is an outstanding child and family psychologist who has helped many troubled children get back on the right path, and has won a lot of honors for this. Unexpectedly, a teenager who had previously been treated by Lin Mai but was unsuccessful suddenly broke into Dr. Lin Mai's home, shot and wounded Dr. Lin Mai, and then committed suicide with a gun. ”

Listening to Bai Yi's words, Zhang Qi began to immerse himself in the story Bai Yi told.

Why did that teenager injure Dr. Linmai?

And why did he commit suicide in the end?

This is suspense, this is the question of doubt that attracts the audience to watch it.

A year later, Dr. Linmai was faced with a case similar to that of a teenager who committed suicide, and the doctor decided to try again to help the nine-year-old boy. The little boy has yin and yang eyes, can see dead people, and has been plagued by ghosts for a long time, and from time to time he will see dead souls, which makes him very afraid. ”

The doctor offered the boy a hand, but he was not accepted because the boy decided that there was no one to help him get out of the situation. With the doctor's constant insistence, the boy finally became more and more vigilant, allowing the doctor to understand his problem and slowly accept his advice. The boy gradually accepted the fact that he had yin and yang eyes under the guidance of the doctor, and just when the whole thing seemed to be completed and the merit was complete, the doctor made an astonishing discoveryβ€”β€”"

Bai Yi paused, but did not say the final answer.

"What discovery?"

Zhang Qi has been completely aroused by Bai Yi's interest, the story has reached this point, it seems very simple, it has ended, so what else can be said to be an amazing discovery.

Bai Yi's eyes flashed, he looked at Zhang Qi, and said in a positive voice: "The doctor found out that he had died a long time ago, and because of this, the boy could still see him all the time." ”

"What do you say? That doctor is long dead?" "Long dead, so that means the doctor is also a ghost?"

Zhang Qi was taken aback, and soon thought of the beginning of this story, and asked urgently: "Could it be that the teenager who committed suicide at the beginning did not actually injure the doctor, but shot and killed the doctor, but the doctor didn't know that he was dead." ”

"Yes. ”

Bai Yi nodded.

"It turns out, so it was. ”

Zhang Qi suddenly realized and was shocked.

"If this is really the case, then in the story, the doctor's cunz always thinks that he is alive, but he can only come into contact with the boy, what kind of coincidences must be in this so that he will not doubt, so that the audience will not doubt?"

"It's when the mystery is finally revealed that the story is shocking. ”

Bai Yi shook his head and said, "Aunt Zhang, this story is far more than that, maybe you won't understand the real touching thing about this story until you read the script, it's not an ordinary thriller movie." ”

"What's so touching?"

Zhang Qi didn't understand the meaning of Bai Yi's words, and asked, "Could it be that there is any other foreshadowing for this story?"

Bai Yi didn't answer, smiled without saying a word, and asked rather mysteriously, "Aunt Zhang, what do you think of this story?"

Looking at the meaningful smile on Bai Yi's face, Zhang Qi suddenly realized that this story may be far from being as simple as she thought, so what foreshadowing or even touching things are hidden in this already unexpected story?

Zhang Qi is now more and more curious.

"Of course it's good, this story is very suitable for a film adaptation, and it would be perfect if the plot in it could be more cleverly designed and richer. Bai Yi, you do your best to write this story, write it as it is. ”

Bai Yi nodded and said, "This is nature. ”

Zhang Qi was very excited and curious, and when he thought of one more thing, he couldn't help asking, "Bai Yi, what's the name of this story?"

What is your name?

Bai Yi's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but think of the lonely eyes of the little boy in the film when he watched this film, and there was a faint heaviness on his immature face, and he whispered: "Sixth sense." ”
