Chapter 67: Is It Necessary
In the back seat,
Chu Renmei, who had hidden her figure and had always listened to the conversation between the two in front of her, widened her eyes and looked at Lu Zhengyi in the driver's seat.
After a while, she turned her attention to Zhang Xueming in the passenger seat.
At this moment, this woman who was so beautiful that Chu Renmei was a little jealous, and even wanted to cut the snow-white cheek with her sharp nails, her face was full of disbelief.
It seems that it is difficult for this woman to accept that the director of the film "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is not Lu Zhengyi.
However, Chu Renmei's face gradually revealed admiration.
As the party concerned, Lu Zhengyi fiddled with the steering wheel very calmly and drove the car towards the set.
Regarding the fact that the actual director of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is not himself, in addition to some people in the crew, there are also Lu Yiyong and Zhang Changmou.
One of them is his father, and the other is an uncle who watched him grow up.
The two know their professional abilities very well.
Lu Zhengyi didn't even have to explain it, they could understand.
Among them, Lu Yiyong expressed his regret for Zhang Yu.
After all, he is indeed very capable, but he has been unknown for so many years.
And Zhang Changmou wrote down the name.
Now, there is another Zhang Xueming who knows about this matter.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhang Xueming frowned tightly, and it took a while to recover, "...... So, the actual director of the old corpse in the mountain village is actually deputy director Zhang Yu? ”
She believes that what she admires most about Lu Zhengyi is his directing ability.
Moreover, she has always regretted that Lu Zhengyi specializes in the genre of horror films, and if he is willing to try to direct other types of films, he will definitely be able to become a generation of famous directors.
But now, is this appreciation about to disappear?
"Yes, you should have known about my grades in school."
Lu Zhengyi replied casually while driving the car, "The storyboarding, composition, and rhythm of an old corpse in a mountain village are not something that a recent graduate of the directing department can do." ”
"The horror film market is not good because it is very difficult to shoot, and this requires a high level of directing ability."
"So at the moment, I'm still learning."
He candidly explained that his professional skills were not enough to direct a horror film.
Listening to this explanation, Zhang Xueming was silent for a while.
"So ......"
The frown on her face slowly smoothed out, and her expression became strange, "Why are you confessing this to me now?" ”
Lu Zhengyi didn't think about it, and replied:
"It's the most basic form of politeness, isn't it?"
"In addition to 'The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village', 'Curse' is the next work we will collaborate on."
"We're a stranger to the relationship than we were before. Now, both you and I have the idea to continue this partnership, and we can have a third part, a fourth part...... More film collaborations. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, "I think that's why you're willing to come to the boot ceremony." ”
"You see an opportunity for investment from our crew, the cake of Tang Kingdom horror films, no one dares to gnaw on it yet, but our crew has a chance."
"And before the more in-depth cooperation, it is necessary for me to let you understand the real situation of our crew, so as to avoid irreparable cracks in the future cooperative relationship, which is not the situation I want to see."
Compared with the time, the people of Light and Shadow Media discovered the fact that they were in the ability to direct.
Lu Zhengyi felt that it was better to confess first.
Zhang Xueming listened silently.
It took a while for her to continue, "I didn't mean ......."
She wasn't trying to ask about collaboration.
It's a personal problem for Lu Zhengyi.
Doesn't he feel ashamed?
Admit your failures in front of others and admit your 'cheating'.
How thick-skinned does this have to be to talk about these issues so plainly?
Zhang Xueming thinks that she can't do it.
Perhaps, in front of a stranger who doesn't know her at all, she will have a little courage to be able to confess her mistakes.
But when she knows herself and has a certain friendship with each other, she can't do it.
It's like a poor boy going to the city to work.
One day, he dressed brightly and returned home.
For such a successful person, every family in the village came to the door to ask for relatives, wanting to marry their daughter to him.
As a result, he admitted in public that the money he earned was actually obtained by fraud.
How much courage does it take?
"Forget it."
In the end, Zhang Xueming didn't ask the words, but said:
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Stealing the fruits of someone else's labor. ”
"If this matter is exposed, your style and reputation will fall directly to the bottom."
"When the time comes, the title of 'thief' will follow you for the rest of your life."
Saying that, she hesitated a little, "If such a situation really happens, our Light and Shadow Media may immediately interrupt all cooperation." ”
"Of course, for the sake of our happy cooperation, I can call the shots and not let the company sue you."
'Thief', 'plagiarist', 'plagiarist'......
In this industry, once these titles are crowned, not to mention Lu Zhengyi's personal problems, even his father has to be implicated.
For such a serious warning, Lu Zhengyi's hand holding the steering wheel did not tremble.
"Don't worry, I received the script for this movie."
Lu Zhengyi explained softly, "The crew was also pulled by me. ”
"When I auditioned for actors, I participated; When I was actually shooting, I followed the whole process; Props, costumes, venues, ...... I didn't miss almost all the preparations. ”
"In addition to Deputy Director Zhang, there are ...... Mr. Chang Zhengwei, others can't actually see who the actual director of this movie is. ”
"And the two of them are definitely not going to say anything about it, because there is no actual evidence."
"It's hard to prove that kind of thing."
But as soon as he explained like this, Zhang Xueming was even more confused.
Prep, audition, shooting...... Since he followed the whole process, isn't this a director?
When she heard Lu Zhengyi say this just now, she thought that the actual shooting was all done by Zhang Yu, but he just added a name directly to the director column at the end.
"You ......"
Zhang Xueming didn't know how to continue the conversation, she was a little ...... Dazed.
"You don't really need to tell me that."
After a long time, she said helplessly, "Anyway, as I said before, I will not participate in the actual shooting as an investor." ”
"So if you don't say it, I definitely won't know."
"And...... In your situation, there is really no need to feel that you are not a director, many of the things you do are the responsibility of the director. ”
Just now, she was really scared.
This kind of dirty thing like academic plagiarism and project signature substitution can actually happen around me, and it has already been stained.
Luckily, things weren't as bad as I thought they would.
Lu Zhengyi's character...... It's special.
Zhang Xueming only felt that the guy next to her was very strange now.
Everyone else wants to show more in front of themselves and try to make a good impression.
And what about him? There is a sense of déjà vu that you have to lose face in front of yourself once.
In the driver's seat, Lu Zhengyi slowed down the car and replied, "It's necessary." ”
As for the deeper reason, he did not explain.
Because of the car, it has come to the set.
