Two days later, Yucheng Airport.

Meng Shu carried the bag and came to the exit position. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings around him, he stretched and stretched out the restrictive sitting position that he had been on the plane for almost two hours.

Then he exhaled heavily, took out his mobile phone and called an online car-hailing.

This time, I came all the way to Yucheng, mainly to meet and communicate with Director Li.

Two days ago, after Director Lian gave the contact information, he found Director Li by phone.

Then, the two had a brief communication and understanding.

Director Li's full name is Li Chengshuang and he is an old artist.

According to the autobiographical information on the Internet, he was originally a crew handyman in his early years, and later met his life mentor in a stage play by accident. Since then, he has started his life as a stage play, and then step by step he has grown from a small stage actor to a successful artist director.

It is said that many successful apprentices have also been brought out.

At the beginning, Meng Shu still thought that this kind of character could be moved by himself? In other words, will you be willful and free to play after you move?

But after some communication, it was found that the other party was not as stubborn as Meng Shu thought, but seemed very kind.

It's really okay to be a poor supervisor.

And when he heard that he was willing to direct the stage play, the other party did not directly refuse, but his tone was a little embarrassed.

After careful questioning, I learned that Director Li had retired and lived a retirement life.

If he is asked to direct the stage play again, it will be a little overwhelming.

Meng Shu, who heard this, expressed his understanding and planned to give up the idea of inviting Director Li.

There's no way, since they're retired, what are they bothering them to do?

As a result, when Director Li learned that it was a horror-type stage play in the later polite inquiry, he even changed his tone on the spot, and began to ask for details one by one.

Although Meng Shu found that Director Li seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, he still briefly explained the overall story flow.

As a result, Director Li was silent for a while after hearing this, and replied with a word.

[Maybe we should meet.] ]

Then, Meng Shu came to Yucheng.

The reason why Meng Shu came to see Director Li was not that the other party was playing a big name, but out of respect for the old artist, how to say that he should also take a trip.

So now, Meng Shu, who arrived in Yucheng, came to a company called 'Yu Yang Media' through the specific address sent by Director Li.

This is a street store, and the decoration of the front is quite in line with Meng Shu's aesthetics.

Looking at the traffic on both sides, it seems that the area here is very prosperous.

Meng Shu picked up the bag, and as soon as he walked in, he saw the front desk lady standing up with a water cup.

As a result, after seeing someone come in, she put down the water glass again and asked politely and softly.

"Hello, is there anything you need?"

Meng Shu glanced around, and then looked at the front desk.

"My surname is Meng, and I made an appointment with Mr. Li to meet."

The front desk lady immediately nodded understandingly.

"Hello Mr. Meng, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he smiled, and then walked towards the back of the background wall, thinking that he was going to inform.

I have to say that this company is still a bit beyond Meng Shu's imagination.

He thought it was the kind of streetside advertising store, but he didn't expect it to be a high-end looking business company.

In short, he was satisfied with the first impression.

Soon, less than a minute, the front desk lady walked out.

"Hello Mr. Meng, please come here."

The front desk lady stretched out her hand to signal, and Meng Shu nodded to follow.

After passing through the staff office area, I came to an office covered with frosted cellophane.

The front desk lady stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a slightly old voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

The front desk lady pushed open the door and looked at Meng Shu with a smile.

The latter smiled back and stepped inside.

At a glance, I saw an old gentleman over half a hundred years old sitting on the mahogany coffee table.

Although he is very old, he can't see any fatigue and seems to be in good spirits.

After seeing Meng Shu come in, he was stunned at first, and then immediately stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Hello Mr. Meng, come, please take a seat."

Meng Shu smiled and nodded, and before he could speak, he saw Director Li pour a cup of tea and hand it over.

"The clean teacup used for hospitality, just filtered, is that there is no tea dirt in it, so this tea may be a little drunk, forgive me."

"It's okay Director Li, I don't mind this."

Meng Shu glanced at the teacup, and was satisfied with Director Li in his heart.

In the past, when I went to other people's companies, although there were tea sets, for guests, it was basically enough to use a disposable cup, and who would give you a tea cup?

It's not a good relationship, let alone it's the first time they've met.

From this point of view, Director Li attaches great importance to it.

Of course, it may also be to see people, or others may visit, and Director Li may be a disposable cup.

Thinking about it, Meng Shu handed over a business card.

Director Li took it, glanced at it, and smiled. Then he put it away and began to make himself tea.

"Mr. Meng is really young and promising, Miss Lian introduced you to me. I could hear your steadiness when I listened to your voice when I was on the phone before. Now when we meet, sure enough, there are many talented people, and there are such achievements at such a young age. ”

"If my son had half of your ability, I would probably enter the coffin with a smile."

Meng Shu suddenly waved his hand and became modest.

"No, Mr. Li has won the award. I'm here this time, mainly because of what I talked about on the phone before. ”

As he spoke, Meng Shu took out a stack of staple-packed A4 paper from his bag and handed it over.

This is the stage script for "Dead Space", and there is also a concept design of the monster image in it.

After Director Li saw it, he hurriedly put down the tea tool, took out a piece of paper and wiped the wet stains on his hands, and then took it with both hands.

It can be seen that his attitude also carries a hint of respect.

Then, he put on his glasses and began to look closely.

It didn't take long for my expression to become more and more frightened, and the more I looked at it, the more I became short of breath.

In the huge office, in addition to the sound of paper turning, it was Director Li's slight breathing.

He turned the pages one by one, and the script in front of him, the story developed smoothly, the style was obvious, and several terrifying places even made his eyes shine.

There is also the image of a monster, which is painted with horror and madness, and its appearance is simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Especially for him, it's a novelty!

After the matching of pictures and texts, Mr. Li couldn't help but have a sense of picture in his mind, and his expression slowly changed at this moment.

Meng Shu was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Well, I can't drink it.

After about ten minutes, Director Li finished the script, took off his glasses, and looked amazed.

After taking a sip of tea, he asked.

"Mr. Meng, you said it clearly on the phone before. This stage play doesn't need a venue set, nor does it need stage effects devices and actors on stage? ”

"Yes."

Meng Shu nodded and continued.

"It's a stage play, but it's actually just an exhibition stage. It can't be like a show stage with some fire-breathing and water-spraying ribbon effect devices. That's why it's in the form of holographic virtual 3D. ”

Director Li said that he understood and continued to flip the script.

Then he frowned and spoke.

"I know something about virtual stage plays, if it's as you say on the phone. The scenes, backgrounds, characters, special effects, and so on are all taken care of by other teams, so that's really fine. It's just..."

Director Li paused, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Horror-style stage plays... Is it really possible? In the past few decades, whether it is movies or other aspects, the horror genre has given the impression of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. ”

"This may be a bit unpleasant, my teacher also tried a horror-style stage play a long time ago, and the script was written, but in the end it was urgently stopped by the investor. The written script was also adapted into a movie called "Dark Road". As a result, the box office was miserable, and he was also infamy. ”

"I'm not saying that this horror genre is bad, but the directors of the entire stage theater circle are inexperienced, and they don't know how to do it, and they don't know how to arrange it."

"Mr. Meng, I read your script, and it is indeed very amazing. Like this scene. The captain led the survivors to the cafeteria, only to find the corpses strewn in the field. Huge piles of human corpses were piled up and drenched in blood. Several corpse variants crawl nimbly on the mountain of corpses, gnawing on flesh'. Oh my God, I can't even imagine what it was like. ”

After Director Li finished speaking, he flipped the script again.

"And this scene shocked me even more. Landa did her best to save Hansen the moment the corpse morph attacked him. As a result, just as he was gasping for breath and wiping his sweat, Hansen was cracked in half from behind with a chainsaw that suddenly went crazy. The humanity under this kind of crisis, as well as the unguardable ability to fight together and be attacked by teammates, is really more shocking than in a war movie. In addition, to achieve this effect on a stage play, the effect is absolutely unimaginable! ”

"Mr. Meng, your script is more like a movie script than a stage play."

Meng Shu smiled and put down the teacup.

"That's why artists like you need to shoot the script."

Director Li opened his mouth and was speechless for a while. It seems that there is some hesitation, but also some yearning.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Mr. Meng, I need to explain. As far as I just talked about, there is no precedent in the entire circle of horror stage plays, and there is no production experience. If you let me come, I'm worried that I won't be able to do well. But..."

Director Li paused, and spoke again.

"I wanted to give it a try, I wanted to do what my teacher didn't do, and I wanted to create a horror style with my own hands. I didn't have a chance until I retired, and I didn't have a good script, and no one wrote it. Now that I'm retired, no one can limit me, and I can try my best. So I didn't say no to you directly on the phone, but I also wanted to explain the situation to you face to face. ”

"That's why we met, and it can be said that it is a request from me, an old immortal."

"Mr. Meng, I made the situation clear. If you're willing to let me try, I'll ask my students to borrow some people. If you don't want to, then you can come back to me if you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Meng Shu's face.
