Chapter 183: [Scared to Death]
[The opening and ending paragraphs of the film are particularly clear, 'In this black and white world, you can't guess what you do', 'Someone went into the forest with a shotgun and wanted to kill a black bear or a white bear, but in the end, the hunter was killed by the grizzly bear.' This film can be viewed from three perspectives, one is white, one is black, and one is gray (neither black nor white). 】
[After watching the film, I was extremely depressed, and it was hard to imagine that in such a world, it was better for people to live or die. 】
[Indeed, compared to the mantra, there are gods who solve ghosts.] There is nothing in the first commandment, and it is all filled by human life. 】
[If I go to the First Commandment, I will definitely choose the camp of ghosts for the first time. 】
[Speaking of which, is that chief Director Lu personally in battle? ] 】
[, I originally thought this chief was a big ghost, but after seeing the final credits, I felt that this ghost was not ordinary. 】
As the days of release passed day by day, the First Commandment finally ushered in a great breakthrough in box office data on the day off.
At the same time, there are more and more comments, attention, and traffic on various platforms.
And some professional film critics have also begun to produce some more high-quality content.
Regarding the elaboration of the various perspectives of the film The First Commandment, there are also people who discuss Director Lu, who joined the drama for the first time, and some people imagine what they would choose if they went to such a world.
But there is no doubt that the world of the First Commandment is oppressive.
And many people have noticed that Director Lu Zhengyi actually made a cameo appearance in the play this time.
The chief, who does not even have a face or a name, is a character that runs through the first commandment.
Its importance is no less than that of Chen Fulai, who was killed on the scene.
Although he was not involved in any official plot, he was even set in that office all along.
Several times, it is either eating or talking.
The content captured by the camera is even more pitiful.
But it was in this situation that this chief left a very deep impression on many audiences.
There are even many people who define him as the biggest 'ghost'. ’
"It's hard to imagine what kind of mental state Director Lu chose to make a horror movie."
"Ah, it's annoying to read the First Commandment. I'm going to start a post and change the mood. One person, one word, proves that I have watched Director Lu's film, I will come first. If you ask me if I believe in the First Commandment, out of science, then I don't think so. But if you ask me, don't you believe that anyone can like Director Lu, then I believe the former! It's too underworld! ”
"Without that sword, I can still annihilate the enemy! Sorry, I went to the wrong set. ”
"We're in a bar, sorry, I was on the wrong set too."
"hhhh can't imagine that Director Lu will be liked by anyone in the future, and he will be scared to death when he turns over in the middle of the night."
"Actually, Director Lu is quite handsome, but he looks fierce. But every time I watch the film with trepidation and wander around the discussion area, I don't seem to be afraid of it all of a sudden, this is ...... Curse Sharing! ”
"Why are you looking at it?"
"Because I like it, it's like having diarrhea every time I eat fried chicken, and I think I'll never eat it again. But after a while, I will continue to order this fried chicken. ”
……
Some discuss the plot,
Some are looking for people who are also scared to sleep in the middle of the night after watching the film.
The popularity of the First Commandment continues to rise, but the people of the Tang Kingdom are no stranger to this.
'Huh? Horror films? ’
'Oh, Lu Zhengyi's film, normal. ’
Probably this is the psychology.
Although on the Internet, there will still be people who are frightened at night because of the marketing of various media, and the withdrawal is because of the words such as the first commandment.
But no one ever doubted the quality of the First Commandment.
If it were to be made into other types of films, it might not have such an impact.
But in the domestic horror film market, Lu Zhengyi is the first person to open up with a hoe, and the amount is extremely different.
From scratch, the film that defeated the stereotype of Lu Zhengyi is not so easy to be influenced by the public opinion of some media.
"To answer the question of this fan whose ID is called my cat, every time I watch your film, I can't sleep for a while."
"Thank you, thank you very much for supporting our film, for this work, I think it's normal to be scared, to be honest, although I have been following Director Lu for a long time to make horror films, but when I first saw the script, it took a long time to slow down."
"Uh-huh, this horror film is too deadly for anyone who has seen the previous works."
"There is also this ID called the backyard is lost, cough, this lost friend's question, asking how to think about the fact that horror movies are not scary."
"I think it's like watching a cross talk and not laughing, watching a depressive film and crying, is the quality of the film not good? Perhaps, but it is also possible that the environment and mood at the time were not right. ”
"In addition to the quality of many works of art and the fame of the creator itself, the condition of the person who appreciates it at the time is also extremely important."
Light and Shadow Media,
In one of the studios, Chang Zhengwei was talking in front of the camera.
In front of him, there is also a large display screen, on which there are many questions from fans.
As the leading actors, Zhang Yuming and Chang Zhengwei appeared in front of the audience almost all the time after the release of the First Commandment, brushing their presence.
Today, I will answer the audience's questions live on Weibo, and tomorrow I will go on a variety show for the promotion of the movie, and the day after tomorrow I will have to participate in some media interviews.
The period after the release of the movie should be the most tiring period for the actors, who are in front of the screen.
It may be more tiring than the process of shooting on the set.
Because on the set, the actor only needs to focus on the one thing of acting.
Now, they need to keep their mouths on their toes and keep their spirits tight to make sure they don't say anything wrong in front of the media cameras.
Especially recently, after the news of the withdrawal of the night horror came out.
Chang Zhengwei had a smile on his face, patiently answering the audience's questions one after another, and wearing glasses, looking gentle and elegant, with a sense of déjà vu of a hairy teacher dreaming of returning to the old corpse in the mountain village.
But in reality, his back is now completely wet.
In the cold winter weather of early December, he was drenched in sweat.
"Teacher Chang, does the withdrawal of the night horror really have anything to do with you?"
"Laughing to death, the fans next door are now in a state of mind, and they set out en masse, but their homes are gone."
"On the day of the premiere, after I watched the First Commandment, I went to see the Night's Horror, and the two works are not of the same level."
"Indeed, as far as those trailers come out, I can most likely think of it as a romance film with the appearance of a horror movie, you love me, I love you."
"Anyway, I didn't watch that film from the beginning, I just don't know if the media are blind, and during the period before it was released, it was overwhelmingly full of singing about Director Lu, and now it's okay, you don't have to fight, people just withdraw."
"I heard that the reason for the withdrawal was too scary. Le, they are really off the shelves, and there are no resources on the Internet? I just watched it for six minutes, and then I turned it off......"
On the tablet in front of Chang Zhengwei, there are more people discussing the two films than those viewers who ask questions normally.
The questions they uttered, for him, every sentence was sensitive and sharp.
As a public figure, in front of the camera, in most cases, it is impossible to express your thoughts and feelings very directly.
Just like now, although Chang Zhengwei also wants to laugh, he can't laugh.
If you laugh out and get screenshots, you will be labeled as arrogant and downhill.
There will even be people who 'acquiesce', and the night horror is what their First Commandment crew did.
The best thing to do about this controversial topic as a public figure is to be invisible.
Otherwise, the disaster will come out of the mouth, and a person can be very hot and cold very quickly.
As a veteran actor who has been in this industry for so many years, although Chang Zhengwei has not been popular before, he has seen too many examples.
In this case, a simple interaction in the live broadcast is actually more tiring than acting.
There can be at least a script for acting, and it can also be remade NG.
There is no script for this live broadcast, if you accidentally answer a question from an audience member incorrectly, stand in line, and make a statement, most of the star paths that are just starting out will quickly dim.
"Ah yes, this is a professional studio, and I'm in the light and shadow company now."
"Ever seen a night terror? Well...... I've always had this idea and look at the performance of other actors who often appear in the same type of films, but because it's not just been released recently, I'm very busy, so I don't have much time. ”
"Is Director Lu the biggest ghost? Forehead...... Actually, there is no such thing in the script, but I personally feel that it may be. In fact, in the last paragraph, if you look at it from the perspective of ghosts, Li Guoqiang should be occupied by ghosts. But when he met with the chief, his shirt was soaked with 'spilled' coffee and stained. ”
"Regarding the point of 'how to overturn', I also asked Director Lu. But Director Lu's temperament, if you have watched the roadshow video, you should know, he hopes that the audience can find out from the plot by themselves, and does not want to explain it outside the play, he thinks it seems silly. It's like telling a joke and the audience doesn't laugh and has to explain where the laugh is. ”
"Where is Director Lu? Director Lu is preparing to get married, ah yes, preparing to get married, this news should be quite widespread in the circle. ”
Chang Zhengwei said while unconsciously laughing.
Behind the camera, the rest of the studio crew laughed as well.
……
The news that Lu Zhengyi is going to get married has not attracted much attention.
He's a half-behind-the-scenes guy after all.
Many of the hot search topics are based on movies, not on him as a person.
However, in the circle, the news has spread widely.
The circle here does not refer to those who pay attention to the entertainment industry, but those who really live and work in this circle.
Director Lu Zhengyi is going to marry Zhang Xueming, the future heir of Light and Shadow Media.
All of a sudden, many people on the Internet were promoting how much money Lu Zhengyi made through the movie, the First Commandment crew reported that he was frightened at night, and Zhang Yuming's character was not good...... All kinds of rhetoric stalled after the news came out.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Thank you, the wedding must come when the time comes, and my father misses Mr. Li very much."
"Huh? The next play? ”
In the work area on the upper floor of the studio, in the manager's office, Zhang Xueming was answering the phone amicably, "This, I haven't heard Ayi say it at present, but it should be ...... I think about it, he has always been unable to stop working. ”
"Investment? Ah, but you're not ...... of those conditions."
"Huh? Acceptable? ”
Her words and tone seemed pleasantly surprised.
But there was no surprise on his face.
It was as if he had long expected that someone would be willing to accept Lu Zhengyi's conditions and join the team.
"It's true that it's busy here for the time being."
Zhang Xueming replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, if there is news at that time, I will communicate with you again." ”
"A wedding gift? You don't need that, you just have to be there. ”
"Don't worry, you won't be missing."
As she spoke, she finally hung up.
"It's the last time Mr. Li."
Zhang Xueming helplessly looked at Lu Zhengyi, who was lying on the sofa opposite, playing with his mobile phone, "I know that someone has gone to the bottom, and now the fart is upside down." ”
Lu Zhengyi looked at some horror movies from other countries, and replied, "Just accept the conditions, obviously send the money over, and then you can sit at home and wait for the money to arrive, such a good thing, I can't figure out why they don't accept it." ”
"It's obvious that they are such big businessmen, and they don't have any vision at all."
"It's better for us Ah Ming to have a good eye, just stuff the money in my pocket without saying a word, and let me spend it as I please."
This is what they had expected in the morning.
With such a big company as light and shadow as a 'legal person' in the middle, Lu Zhengyi's seemingly harsh conditions suddenly became simpler.
At least if Lu Zhengyi runs away with money, Light and Shadow can take responsibility.
In this case, those who are already jealous of this cake will naturally be impatient to come over to communicate.
"Don't pat me on the back."
Zhang Xueming laughed unconsciously, "And are you really good like this?" I'm working here, and you're fishing over there. ”
"The things that are announced in the later stage are none of my business."
Lu Zhengyi put down his phone, sat up, and looked at her, "But don't be too tired." ”
"You are only a manager now, and you have so much work, and you will inherit your father's position in the future, won't you stay at home in the company 24 hours a day?"
"That's not okay, we clearly say in the contract that there must be working hours and living hours."
As he spoke, he stood up and came behind her, helping her pinch her shoulders.
The second benefit of being behind the scenes is that there are breaks.
Like now, the filming and editing of the film have ended, and there is light and shadow in charge of publicity and distribution.
In terms of publicity, only actors such as Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming need to do it.
Naturally, Lu Zhengyi, the director, is also idle.
However, in addition to him, the rest of the crew as behind-the-scenes staff are also idle.
Probably because Zhang Yu's situation scared them all, and they were very healthy one by one.
"I ......"
Zhang Xueming was about to say something, but before she could finish speaking, the phone rang again.
She picked up the microphone helplessly, pointed to the sofa in the distance with her finger, and spoke, "Eh, Mr. Huang, I haven't been in touch for a long time." ”
Lu Zhengyi had no choice but to go back to the sofa and lie down, and picked up his mobile phone to learn the filming techniques of other countries.
For the working ability of the director's profession, he has basically completely learned, and has also formed a basic shooting style prototype.
Like before, he didn't do the homework of reading books in his free time.
Nowadays, if you want to do better, it is more through practice and experimentation, and more reading.
Try different shooting styles, shooting techniques, and editing techniques......
Through continuous attempts and perfecting their shooting skills, they can slowly form a style like a literary style and a style of music, and the audience can see the movie without even looking at the director's name, and they will know who the work is from.
However, just when Lu Zhengyi was seriously observing other people's works, a text message suddenly came from the pop-up window on his mobile phone.
Chang Zhengwei, who is broadcasting live in the studio downstairs.
"Something's wrong, Director Lu."
"I've been brushing the barrage here, and there is a theater in Hong Kong City that has died."
"It's like watching our film and being scared to death."
The three pieces of news made Lu Zhengyi, who was still lying down, sit up directly, and his face became serious.
