In the regular theater, there are various safety signs posted everywhere.

Fire fighting, responsibility reminder, for people with heart disease, high blood pressure, and easily frightened constitution...... of the audience to be reminded of their obligations.

Under the condition that all kinds of warnings meet the standards of the Film and Television Bureau, the theater and the film company have no obligation to be responsible for the accident caused by the audience watching the movie in the cinema.

At least not legally.

But most of the time, the film party and the hospital will still be affected by this.

After all, that's a human life.

Statements such as 'this film is scared to death', 'this theater has died too much', 'this film is very unlucky ......' and other remarks will appear, and because of the spread of some gossip, it will lead to the suspension of the film, or even the situation that it will be directly returned for retrial.

At the same time, out of humanitarian considerations, the hospital will generally give the deceased burial expenses to a certain extent.

Even if this is an adult, knowing that his psychological quality is average or he suffers from related diseases, he still stubbornly chooses to be there.

But the deceased is large, and the impact on movies and theaters is not small under normal circumstances.

"Yes, I just arrived, and I'm going to take a taxi to the hospital."

night

Gangcheng Airport,

Lu Zhengyi bought a plane ticket as soon as he got the news, and came to Hong Kong City alone to confirm the actual situation.

As soon as he got out of the airport, he received a call from Zhang Xueming.

Because now that the movie is being released, Light and Shadow Media, as the publicity and distribution company, is the main battlefield, so she did not follow, but sat in the rear.

"Already have news about it? Just passed out? ”

Lu Zhengyi was waiting for the car on the side of the road, and then answered the phone, "Okay, okay, I know that a little girl in her twenties can be so easily frightened to that extent." ”

"But I'd better go check it out, it's all here."

"A fan of Bai Shaoshang? It shouldn't be, they all went to the hospital, they were really scared to the point of being unconscious or fake, and the instrument could still judge a rough idea. ”

But as he learned the truth, he was relieved.

After all, no one wants to be involved with a human life for no reason, and it is such a ridiculous reason.

'Exaggerating the facts'In this era when everyone is self-media, such things often happen.

For example, an ambulance came to a shopping mall, an Internet café, or a theater, and the ambulance staff carried a stretcher to pull a person away.

Next to him, a person who didn't know the truth took a photo with his mobile phone, accompanied by 'A dead person here in the XX mall' and 'Really, I was just carried away.' 'It seems to be an acute myocardial infarction'...... And so on.

Even if the parties clarify the truth afterwards, the person who posted the article only needs to delete the video, photos, and text.

But those who eat melons and eat half of them, the impression will only stay in the 'XX mall and die. ’

And then, they will continue to be the disseminators, and the incident will spread more and more widely as it spreads from person to person, and there is a reason for it, and as for whether the truth is really the case, no one except the injured party has the time to investigate.

But the business of the mall will be affected by rumors such as 'a dead person'.

"Don't talk about it, the car is coming."

As a car stopped in front of Lu Zhengyi, he hung up the phone and got into the car.

And while waiting, no one around the airport turned their eyes to him.

Even if he is big and recognizable.

But Lu Zhengyi traveled and was basically not recognized.

As for Zhang Xueming's mouth, speculating whether it would be a fan of night horror who caused trouble this time, although he felt that it would not, he did not rule out this possibility.

Although the night horror was withdrawn.

The popularity is gradually swallowed up by the first commandment of the gradual rise in box office data.

But those fans of Bai Shaoshang still haven't given up 'holding accountable', they are like opening up a small piece of land that belongs to them on the Internet, no matter what kind of judgment or statement others in the outside world make.

But they have always been active in that area that has been circled separately, as fans of night horrors, as black fans of the First Commandment.

This kind of enclosure self-sprouting practice is extremely common in the fan circle.

If they wanted to make the First Commandment take off like a night terror, it was possible to do something like this.

However, it is not easy to be frightened and unconscious under the inspection of modern scientific instruments.

'It's a talent. ’

Looking out the car window, the buildings that kept throwing backwards, Lu Zhengyi's expression became helpless.

Regardless of who the person who was scared into a coma was, whether it was a real viewer or not, the hospital had already checked out the results.

A horror film that can be terrifying.

But it can't be so scary as to scare people to death.

Probably for some horror fanatics who seek the ultimate, this is a good thing.

They will be even more happy and excited to buy movie tickets and watch them there.

But for those viewers who regard horror movies as a kind of entertainment and only pursue psychological stimulation to a certain extent, it is greatly dissuaded.

It's like some zombie movie, which begins to blindly pursue blood and violence, while ignoring the plot.

This is a good thing for those who only like to see people disemboweled, corpses strewn all over the field, but this part of the population is only a very small number.

More people can't accept this pure gore.

So in China, every movie shot by Lu Zhengyi is actually within the acceptable level of the audience.

Of course, the audience will feel scared, but not so frightened that they will fall unconscious, develop illness, etc.

After all, he is his own person, and he is still quite well-behaved.

In such a situation, a person is frightened by the plot of the movie and falls into a coma, most likely it can only be that his brain is too much.

For horror films, an audience who likes to fantasize in their minds can at least add three percent to the thriller level.

"Ward 301 ......"

When he came to the hospital, Lu Zhengyi learned from the front desk that the patient belonged to the ward, so he took the fruit basket he bought near the hospital and looked for it.

"Knock knock."

At the door of ward 301, Lu Zhengyi knocked lightly a few times before opening the door and walking in.

The ward is not a separate intensive care unit, so there are three beds in the room, three patients.

And it's all women.

After he entered the room, everyone in the ward unconsciously turned their eyes to this side, whether it was the patient or the person accompanying him.

Immediately afterwards, everyone unconsciously lowered their voices, and even their eyes began to dodge, not daring to look at Lu Zhengyi.

Although the patients in the three beds were all the same reaction.

But Lu Zhengyi recognized at a glance who the woman who watched his movie and was scared into a coma.

At the same time, the doubts in my heart along the way dispersed, replaced by a thick helplessness.

"Miss Lin Zimo?"

Lu Zhengyi took a stride, took the fruit basket, and came to the innermost hospital bed.

On the hospital bed, a tall woman with a good face was looking at him submissively, "Lu, Director Lu, why are you here?" ”

She shouted quietly and recognized Lu Zhengyi.

Immediately after, I want to stand up.

"No need to get up, Miss Lin, you better have a good rest."

Lu Zhengyi hurriedly spoke up, and said in a very casual tone, "I didn't expect to meet again in such a way." ”

"The last time I was on the plane, I heard you say that you want to support our movie, and it seems that you are really trying very hard to support it."

"However, watching horror movies is such a thing, it's better for us to do what we can."

As he spoke, he pulled a chair from next to him and sat down, placing the fruit basket beside him.

On the hospital bed, Lin Zimo moved to the other side very heartily, away from a little bit.

"I'm so sorry because I passed out in the theater, so I ......"

She said in a quieter voice.

Lin Zimo also seems to know the impact of being carried out by medical staff from the theater on the First Commandment.

"No, no, no, it's we who have to apologize to you."

Lu Zhengyi hurriedly spoke, "Maybe we haven't set this level." ”

Lin Zimo, the last time they went to Zhang Yu's house with the plum civet cat crew, they met the flight attendant on the plane.

At that time, she also tested herself a little.

And it worked.

It really made her see something from the performance of the rest of the Meici cat crew.

And most of the time it was for this reason that Lin Zimo was scared into the hospital when he watched this first commandment.

"No, no, no, in fact, the grading is just right, it's just me ......"

Lin Zimo heard his explanation, and hurriedly wanted to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he paused.

Her gaze unconsciously wandered around Lu Zhengyi.

Yes, she didn't look at Lu Zhengyi, but looked for something beside him.

"Miss Lin, a movie is a movie, and reality is reality."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her demeanor and knew what she was looking for.

But he pretended not to know and continued the conversation.

"Please don't take the plot of the movie as real."

"Actually, when I was filming some films, I also knew that there were a lot of rumors about me and my crew on the Internet, but what about this situation......"

"We're more indulgent."

His expression became a little distressed, "Originally, I shouldn't have told you these words, and I shouldn't have said them to the audience so bluntly." ”

"But it seems that you are also a heavy fan of horror movies, so in order to avoid affecting your future hobbies, I still have to make it clear."

"What about the things that are said on the Internet, in fact, if we want to, we can completely ask the platform to delete and dispose of these things. But we haven't done it because we think that the audience has some speculations after watching the film, which is an endorsement of our crew. ”

"As a director, as a crew, we are very happy to see that the audience can immerse themselves in the films we are shooting."

As he spoke, the patients in the other wards next to him also pricked up their ears.

In particular, some young people, as if they had finally recognized Lu Zhengyi, were holding their mobile phones and comparing them with the photos on the encyclopedia.

"In fact, in your case, it is understandable that we, as artists, are considered artists. After all, people who are more emotional in this regard are particularly prone to electronic lovelorn. ”

Lu Zhengyi did not shy away from others, and continued, "It's like spending a while watching a movie, a TV series, or a movie, if you can really immerse yourself in it, and enter the world created by that creator." ”

"Then when I read it, I will unconsciously have a ...... in my heart The feeling of emptiness. It's like although the plot is over, but the world is not over yet, the protagonist will continue to live in a place he can't see, and the plot will continue to develop, but he can't participate. ”

"Immersing the audience is probably the highest level that we artists strive for. So for people like you who are immersed in the film and react, we are actually very ...... Excited, but in addition to excitement, we personally think that electronic lovelorn is also time-sensitive, and we can't live in a false world all the time, we have to face up to reality. ”

His tone was easy-going.

The flat tone accompanied the quiet atmosphere in the ward made people listen unconsciously.

"Yes, yes, yes, is this called electronic lovelorn?"

Nearby, someone suddenly interjected.

A young man who was accompanying the hospital bed next to him nodded, very agreeable, "I'm chasing some more classic love fans, and the plot often only develops to the process of the male and female protagonists getting acquainted and intersecting, but the daily life after they confirm the relationship is only a small part of the ending." ”

"In this case, I feel empty in my heart."

"I often can't help but wonder what their daily life will be like when they are together."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the palm by the woman on the hospital bed.

"I'm sorry, Director Lu, I interrupted your conversation."

The woman said apologetically to this side, and lectured the man, "How do you eavesdrop on other people's conversations." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a public place, and our voices are not small, so I can't hear it, and it's not easy."

Lu Zhengyi hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"This little brother said it very well, especially the kind of work that has been chasing for a long time."

"It's a habit to watch a little bit every day."

"When the day is over, the feeling of regret that I can't participate in it comes up, which is very complicated, but it is worth savoring. This is probably why some works are called food for thought. ”

But as he spoke, he set his eyes on Lin Zimo's body again.

The words just now were all to convince her that the things in the movie were false.

Other people's reactions don't matter.

Lin Zimo didn't intervene during the whole process, just sat silently on the hospital bed and looked at Lu Zhengyi.

"So...... Director Lu, do you need me to clarify anything with you now? ”

After Lu Zhengyi stopped talking, Lin Zimo spoke.

She could guess the purpose of the other party's coming.

"I'm sure I'd like you to help clear things up." Lu Zhengyi's gaze fell on the quilt that completely wrapped her body, "If it's convenient, can you take a photo with me?" Of course, you can wear a mask if you need to. ”

He took out the medical mask he had taken from the front desk.

"No problem, no problem, this is what I should do."

Lin Zimo hurriedly said, tremblingly stretched out his palm to take the mask from his hand, and then took it apart and put it on.

Lu Zhengyi smiled and turned on the front camera of his phone, pointed it at himself and her, and took a photo.

"It's hard work, as for the cost of hospitalization, we will bear it on our side."

While Lu Zhengyi was talking, he sent the photo to Zhang Xueming, and she operated it.

"No, no, no, no, that's my problem."

Lin Zimo hurriedly waved his hand, very nervous, "I'll just pay it myself." ”

"It's kind of free marketing, isn't it?"

Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile, "For a horror film, there is nothing better than this. ”

"But the process is not very pleasant for you."

"So I still hope that I can bear the cost of hospitalization, which can be regarded as a return gift for a fan who is enthusiastic and supportive, is that okay?"

Lin Zimo opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"But, you're sick and there's no one to accompany you?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at the empty bedside, not to mention the caregivers, even some fruits, milk, etc., which would be sent by the doctor.

Compared with the other two-bed patients, her side seems a little monotonous.

"No, no."

Lin Zi replied with a smile, "I'm fine alone." ”

She also thought that Lu Zhengyi was going to stay.

"This ......"

Lu Zhengyi looked at her with a look of regret, "Then I'll leave a contact information for you, if you have anything else, you can contact me directly." ”

watched Lin Zimo unlock the phone directly and put it on the table without handing it over.

Lu Zhengyi took it regretfully and entered his mobile phone number in it.

After that, he didn't stay in the ward for long, after all, the two really didn't know each other, and they were just two sides.

And now, Lin Zimo is more wary of him.

"But that, is Director Lu famous?"

"Of course, sister, haven't you heard of the old corpse in the mountain village?"

"Huh? Is that the director of the old corpse in the mountain village? ”

"I'll go, that's a big director, I heard that several works are particularly famous, but although he is fierce, he has a very easy-going attitude."

"Yes, he really deserves to be a great director, he speaks with special artistic connotation, and he says everything in my heart that I can't express, and how can he speak so comfortably, I feel that if I go to be a teacher, I should be a very powerful teacher. When I was in class, I couldn't listen to those teachers at all, but Director Lu was different. ”

"But this young lady, watch a horror movie, as for ......"

When Lu Zhengyi left, he could still hear the sound of speech coming from the ward behind him.

The other patients were talking about him, and occasionally talked to Lin Zimo.

However, Lu Zhengyi didn't listen much, walked away directly, and came to the front desk to settle the fee.

Lin Zimo didn't believe what he said just now.

Although the other patients listened with interest, her attitude was firm.

From beginning to end, Lin Zimo maintained a wary and fearful mood towards Lu Zhengyi, as if he ...... Treat him like the upper demons of the First Commandment.

It was for this reason that he left a contact information for her.

If he could be convinced, he wouldn't stay.

"How?"

Walking out of the hospital, Lu Zhengyi came to the road, and while calling Zhang Xueming, he looked at the street where the flow of people was decreasing.

As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong City, he rushed to the hospital non-stop.

After it was over, it was late at night.

Near the hospital, it's still relatively quiet.

"The announcement will be issued later, with the news, and the matter will be clarified soon."

On the phone, Zhang Xueming replied, "However, the Film and Television Bureau still gave a request, and the classification of the movie needs to be raised by another grade." ”

"It's okay, as long as you don't withdraw the gear, it's not a big problem."

Lu Zhengyi was not surprised by this result.

"But it's so late, can you get a ticket back?"

Zhang Xueming asked in a low voice.

"I can't go back today, I have to stay here for one night."

Lu Zhengyi saw that a taxi finally came over in the distance, and hurriedly beckoned, "But if I want to fly to Chongcheng tomorrow first." ”

"Go see Wang Xiaoxu?"

Zhang Xueming soon knew his intentions.

"Yes, although his parents have someone to help with it, I think I still have to go and see it." Lu Zhengyi replied, "And in his state, if he can't find someone he trusts, he can't contact me by phone, so he can only rush back to the villa to find me, and I still have to go." ”

"Alright, Daddy Lu."

Zhang Xueming's voice was a little teasing, "Take good care of that child, it's okay if you don't come back tomorrow." ”

Not to be outdone, Lu Zhengyi replied:

"No problem, Mother Zhang."

"I'll leave the movie to you, and Xiao Ming's big kid, please keep an eye on it, it's the first time he runs publicity, don't be accidentally cheated."

"That kid was a little impulsive."

As he spoke, the phone fell silent.

After a while, Zhang Xueming said 'um'.

"Then ......"

Lu Zhengyi got into the car and was about to hang up the phone.

"Speaking of which, have you figured out what you're going to do next?"

But on the phone, Zhang Xueming's voice rang again.

Lu Zhengyi got into the car and reported the name of the hotel to the driver, then replied, "Hmm...... There are a few options. ”

“…… Several? ”

Zhang Xueming paused, "Who gave you your script?" ”

"You think of it as a gift from another world."

Lu Zhengyi said with a smile.

"Well, you're always vague when you ask this kind of question."

Zhang Xueming was a little disappointed.

"But this film is probably that kind of hallucinatory film, mental problems and something."

Lu Zhengyi appropriately changed the subject.

"Huh? Isn't that old-fashioned? ”

officially mentioned work, Zhang Xueming's attention was really attracted.

"This film should be more inclined to a thriller atmosphere, but there are ghosts and ghosts."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "It can be regarded as the mutual redemption of two patients. ”

"I'm still in the script at the moment, well, I'm still reading it, and I'll show it to you when the time comes."

"It's a long-awaited book, and there's a book with a good ending."

Zhang Xueming couldn't help laughing, "What has been a long time, which of your films can have a good ending?" ”

"Mountain ......"

Lu Zhengyi blurted out that he wanted to talk about the old corpse in the mountain village, but after thinking about it, the ending was changed by himself, and it was an open-ended ending, and no one knew whether Chu Renmei let the two of them go or not.

The spell certainly doesn't end well.

But just the eyes? Well......

Lu Zhengyi is speechless, so far, the movies he has made, the characters in the plot do not seem to have a good ending.

Either dead, crippled, or possessed.

"All in all, it's a book with a good ending."

He emphasized, cleverly skipping the previous topic.

"You're ......"

Zhang Xueming laughed again.

The two chatted, but the car slowly stopped.

Lu Zhengyi realized at this time that a long time had passed.

(End of chapter)
