Chapter 41: [Curse]

Commentary is an important means of operation, not only in film and television, but also in catering and games...... The same is true in other respects.

An audience member came to the theater and used the mobile phone ticketing platform to take a look at the movie that was being screened.

The first thing he will do is find the category he is interested in.

Then, he would look through the cast list to find out if there were any familiar actors.

Finally, he will flip through the comment section to see what other viewers think of the film.

This is a common occurrence and applies to a wide range of online platforms.

If the audience has safely passed the first two links and found a suitable movie, and then sees a comment area full of praise, and filters the bad reviews into it, which is all irrelevant content, then there is a high probability that they will choose to buy tickets.

But if it is a horror movie, the number of negative reviews crushes the number of positive reviews across the board, and the result is that all the content that is scolded for the film is too underworld and too terrifying, then these bad reviews will become a plus.

"But, Deputy Director Zhang."

Lu Zhengyi didn't stand up, turned around to look at Zhang Yu behind him, "The kind of bad comment you said is not impossible." ”

He just sat like that, and suddenly interjected.

"Huh?"

Zhang Yu was a little puzzled.

What bad reviews?

Speaking of horror movies, bad reviews that aren't scary at all?

Soon, though, he seemed to understand something.

"If there were, it would be more than I expected."

Zhang Yu's tone was full of anticipation.

"If that happens, how about continuing to be an assistant director for me in the next play?"

Lu Zhengyi asked.

It is not easy to pick an assistant director who is capable and has good psychological quality.

Although Zhang Yu has some small flaws, greasy and lustful.

But it's all solvable.

"Even if I didn't meet the requirements, I joined."

Zhang Yu didn't think about it, so he responded.

Even, willing to join directly.

Although, at one time, he looked down on Lu Zhengyi very much.

But that was once.

In addition to not being a good director, Lu Zhengyi has done quite well in other things.

In particular, he himself is special.

You can see ghosts, you can subdue ghosts.

Zhang Yu is now almost fifty years old, and this is the first time he has seen such strange things.

No matter what the cooperation in the film will be in the future.

Anyway, he wants to get closer to Lu Zhengyi.

lest in the future, if you, or your family or future generations encounter something dirty, you won't even be able to find someone who can solve it.

……

At noon on the second day,

Some of the crew left Beicheng one after another and returned to their respective homes.

As Lu Zhengyi expected, the premiere box office of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was mediocre.

In several films of the same period, at the end.

However, they did not pay attention to this film for the time being.

"This is the script for the new movie, take a look."

Lu Zhengyi distributed a copy of the pre-printed script to Zhang Yu, Chang Zhengwei, Yu Li, and Zhang Yuming, "The name of the new movie is "Spell", and the main content is about Eastern religions, evil gods, and evil spirits. ”

"Because of the content involved, including some folk culture such as beggars and wandering gods, I plan to set the filming location in Fucheng, or Taicheng, which are cities that have relatively complete retention of folk culture."

"As for the actors, for the time being, they need a female and a number of supporting actors, as well as a small actor."

He briefly explained his plans for a new movie.

Although it is said that only the four of them remained, Deputy Director Zhang, Chang Zhengwei, Yu Li, and Zhang Yuming.

But there are far more people willing to join their new crew, but there are far more than these four.

The people who participated in the final filming at the beginning, for whatever reason, were willing to collaborate with them on another film.

It's just that if the new film is in the preparation stage, they will be the cinematographer and prop master...... There was nothing to help for the time being, so Lu Zhengyi let them leave first.

"It feels perfect."

Zhang Yu flipped through the script in his hand, "A shooting technique of first-person hand-held camera, to be honest, very bold." ”

"Some of the folklore knowledge involved in this is also very complete from the script."

"From the script point of view, this film is much better than the old corpse in the mountain village."

"The plot is not so monotonous, and these knowledge, which are closely related to public life, are also easy to make people feel a sense of substitution."

"But ......"

He watched and commented.

But as he spoke, the voice grew lower and lower.

And next to him, several actors were also silent.

After a while, Zhang Yu raised his head, "Director Lu, what is written here shouldn't be true, right?" ”

His tone was very serious, "I mean, in reality, there shouldn't be evil gods, curses or anything like that, right?" ”

Just now, at first glance, this script is well written.

has been so busy in the past few months, Lu Zhengyi still has time to collect the script, and it is such a good script, he admires it very much.

But if you think about it, it's broken!

This Lu Zhengyi is not a real director!

This guy is a god who can subdue demons and demons!

What about this script......

"Don't worry, it's not true." Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "As I said, with the popularization of some scientific knowledge in modern society, many things of ghosts, snakes, and gods are gone, and it is not easy to produce. ”

He didn't explain more, just reassured them.

"But this book is really unlucky."

Regardless of whether what Lu Zhengyi said was true or not, based on his fierce performance in front of him, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and put down the script, "Make a blockbuster curse, or shoot from a first-person perspective, I can already expect that I will be scolded very badly." ”

"Of course, it's after the shooting."

"But I can take this into account, and the State Administration of Film and Television can definitely take it into account, so how should we file it?"

According to the Tang Kingdom's film and television classification system, the restriction level of the spell is much higher than that of the old corpse in the mountain village.

"And it's hard to find this kid's actor."

Chang Zhengwei continued Zhang Yu's words, "Our crew is so special, if we really find a little actor, can her parents have the right to know?" ”

"If I could, I don't think most parents would want their children to join a crew like ours."

"And if I can't, then I think it's hard to sign a contract."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, and wrote down the two questions of 'filing' and 'little actor' in his notebook.

"That...... I mention it weakly. ”

Yu Li, as the only girl, will undoubtedly be the heroine of this movie, "Director Lu, my image doesn't seem to fit a mother who has already given birth." ”

She is a recent graduate and looks pure and lovely.

Even if the makeup lady is good at that time, she will have to play a mother......

“…… Okay, that's a problem too. ”

Lu Zhengyi nodded and added this, "If the time comes, the image and performance are really inappropriate, I may change the actor, this has to be told to you in advance." ”

"Understood."

Yu Li did not feel lost because she was going to be 'abandoned'.

"And then there's the prop ......"

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, just about to say something.

Lu Zhengyi's phone rang.

"I'll answer the phone."

Glancing at the name of 'Zhang Xueming' on his phone, he stood up and said a word, then turned around and walked out of the house.

"Congratulations, Director Lu Xiao, your performance in this film has surprised all of us."

As soon as the phone was answered, Zhang Xueming's congratulatory words rang.
