"What's going on?"

Early the next morning, Lu Zhengyi just came downstairs to the hotel's restaurant, and saw Zhang Yu rushing over with a bowl of noodles, "Then what is Xiao Li looking for you to help with?" ”

"I want to make a horror movie, but I don't know how to make it, so I came here to learn from it."

Lu Zhengyi didn't hide it from him, and explained what happened last night in a few simple words.

He was surprised that a director came to the door and asked him how to shoot.

But at the same time, he rarely had a little joy.

As a human being, you will have some interest in being a good teacher.

Especially in matters that I am interested in.

Beginners who have just arrived at the river can't catch a fish for half a day, so they can't help but ask the old angler next to them for advice. The writer who wrote it for the first time was sad to even sign the contract, and couldn't help but ask in the group, more or less there will still be people willing to help read the text and find out where the problem is. The first time a new player plays, he explains to the players in the same game on the public screen at the beginning, and occasionally he can get the understanding and guidance of others......

As for other people's advice, most people are willing to be this teacher as long as they have the ability.

In addition to kindness, the process of teaching a novice as a veteran is often enjoyable for the person concerned.

Lu Zhengyi is in such a state now.

The premise of his business is to like it.

And for people who also like filming, they come to ask for advice, which makes him unconsciously feel a sense of pride, and he has reached the level where he can let others ask for advice and have the ability to teach others.

"Okay, it's not a big deal."

Zhang Yu listened happily, "You are now the founder of the mountain and the godfather." ”

"It's still early."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "You also know how I make horror movies, although I have been filming for so many years, and now I have learned some skills and figured out some things by myself, but the special effects are not low." ”

"I'm shooting it myself now, and if I don't rely on special effects, I'm seventy or eighty percent sure that I can make a horror movie well."

"But if I teach others and let others shoot, then I only have three or four points left to be sure that others can shoot the film well, after all, I can't call Xiaoxu over to help."

Because he himself has some special experiences, his learning ability is not low, and he is directly in the position of director to learn, and the contact in all aspects is very comprehensive.

So in terms of directing ability, he has a certain degree of confidence.

can teach these experiences that he has learned during the filming process, and let others direct the filming, whether the other party can succeed, Lu Zhengyi is definitely not sure.

"Take your time."

Zhang Yu replied casually, "But this Li Chuanxin actually came to ask for advice, which surprised me a little, after all, age is here." ”

The people in their crew, including him, often forget that Lu Zhengyi's age is actually a young director in his twenties.

And what about Li Chuanxin? It's already in their thirties and forty.

The profession of director is like this, not everyone can get investment and can afford to shoot with a team.

Often, many people start with actors, screenwriters, or executive directors and scene notes with the group...... After accumulating a certain amount of contacts, you will have the opportunity to be an assistant director or director.

And now a man in his forties has come all the way to ask a person in his twenties how to film, even if the fame is here, it is not an easy thing.

"I was also a little surprised, I thought it would be more of a competition."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Like the one before...... What's coming, oh, like a night fright. ”

"Whether the market for horror films can make money, everyone knows it, of course it can be made. Originally, I expected that there would definitely be more directors who were willing to make horror films, companies willing to invest in horror films, and produce a large number of films, after all, the cost of investing in horror films is not very high. ”

"But I really didn't expect that someone would choose to come directly to worship the mountain, he came over yesterday, and I really didn't expect him to come at first."

Listening to these words, Zhang Yu thought about it and replied:

"Probably because of the relationship with Teacher Yu, it inspired him."

"But I have to say that he chose the right path, whether it is the filming later or the publicity after the shooting, with your help, he will be much easier, this is a smart person."

"But smart is smart, whether he is willing to accept your teaching, and whether he will be a white-eyed wolf after teaching, these questions still have to be considered."

His words are straightforward.

Teaching others with good intentions does not necessarily lead to good returns.

Some people, obviously they asked for advice first, but as soon as others pointed out the problem, they immediately changed their faces, but they couldn't accept it.

In that case, why did you have to pretend to be humble in the first place?

There are also those who have learned, but after they finish learning, they will sell people when they turn back, and Zhang Yu has seen too many of these situations in this circle.

Looking at his serious appearance, Lu Zhengyi laughed, "This won't happen to me, so don't worry, Lao Zhang." ”

These words, that is, Zhang Yu will tell him in the crew.

This reminded him of the days when he first filmed, and at that time, the two often discussed these.

But since Lao Zhang was sick and recuperated at home, whether it was the filming of the first commandment or the curse, basically no one on the set would tell him this.

It's often all by yourself, and then the old employees on the set are in a group, and then there are newcomers who just join the group and don't know anything.

It's not that Lu Zhengyi has been sidelined.

It should be said that other people have an attitude of awe towards themselves, and occasionally they are always old, and Chang Zhengwei will go over to say a few words to him.

"Yes."

Zhang Yu looked at him and smiled, and laughed unconsciously, "I am a person in my fifties who can be seen clearly by you, let alone a young man who is less than forty." ”

They didn't talk much about Li Chuanxin, and they focused on discussing today's shooting.

After all, their own films are more important than other people's films.

……

"Ten schools and nine graves, I believe many people have heard of it. Almost every school has some 'supernatural stories' to some extent, and of course our school has them, but you may not know that in wartime, this is actually a mass grave. ”

"Beneath the ground under our feet right now may be a pile of bones. So sometimes when I walk around this school, I actually feel swishy, especially when I go to those empty school buildings at night, that feeling is really ...... Very bad. ”

"The lights in the corridor are not on, only the moonlight barely provides a view through the window, and the lively and ordinary classroom during the day makes people dare not look inside at night, and interested students can go and have a look tonight."

In the school's auditorium, a middle-aged man in a gray suit with oily hair and a decent appearance was lecturing to the students under the podium.

And his words caused laughter from many people present.

At the same time, some students who had just learned that their school was originally built on a mass grave were surprised.

"But just take a look at the teaching building, those forest paths on the side of the mountain, I suggest that students don't walk around at night."

But then, the professor on the podium said, "I sometimes have a lot of psychological pressure, and I like to walk around alone, without any purpose, just to make myself forget to think about those troublesome things." ”

"I still remember when I first came to this school and I went out for a walk that night."

"Then when I walked to the A building of the dormitory, when I was on the forest path on the other side of the mountain, I was greeted by a stumbling figure, at first I thought it was some kind of student who had turned his feet, so I quickly shouted, 'What's wrong with my classmate', and ran over."

"As soon as I got closer, it scared the hell out of me."

"It was a bloodied soldier of the Japanese country, who staggered over to me with a spear on his shoulder, and a ...... on his forehead The bloody hole, the bullet probably went through the back of the head, and then through the front......"

With these three words, the students who were laughing below began to quiet down one by one.

As a university professor, Luo Zhan's social status on the stage is not low, and what he says is also very weighty.

What's more, the place name, time, people, causes, and processes...... All of them were listed, and their faces were a little confused all of a sudden.

"How...... Everybody's starting to get scared? ”

On the podium, Luo Zhan seemed to like the expressions of the students in the audience, and continued with a smile, "Everyone should know that in addition to thinking and analyzing, our brains also have a very important function, that is, receiving and storing information. ”

"From birth, our brains receive all kinds of information, from newspapers, television, people, the Internet, ...... Various aspects, such as 'ghosts', are also one of them. ”

"Like the story I just told you, all kinds of important information is provided to you, the place, the people, the time...... I'm sure anyone who has been to the country road near the dormitory building will soon have a picture in their minds, and then the 'ghosts' you know from those entertainment works will appear in this picture along with my description. ”

"Bullets through the skull, covered in blood, and soldiers of the country, these are the characteristics that form the image of ghosts in your minds, maybe now the big guy is sitting in this big hall, so many people, I don't feel that there is such a strong atmosphere."

"But in the middle of the night, when the whole campus is quiet, and it happens that you are alone, these messages I send to you will start to pop up, and as you continue to deepen through the thinking of your brain, it becomes clearer, and even begins to affect your senses, always feel that there really seems to be a 'ghost' around you in the dark surroundings is staring at you and following you, but is there really?"

As he spoke, he knocked the podium, "Of course not, these are all pictures formed by the information collected by the brain, and in fact, there are no ghosts at all." ”

"At least I'm sure that if you go back a few decades, no, twenty years, have you ever seen anyone on the news who was really strangled to death by a ghost in the twenty years of your life? No, even if there is similar news, it is finally clarified that it is fake, and someone is pretending to be a ghost......"

In this auditorium, in addition to the fanciful talk on the podium, Zhou Ziyun, who played Luo Zhan, and the students in rows of seats, there was also a crew holding a camera to record this scene.

Now that a month has passed since the crew started filming, according to the shooting plan, the Xenospace crew should still be completing the filming of the rental house.

They will put aside the order of the plot and finish all the shooting in one scene, and then move on to the next scene.

Finally, post-production completes the switch of shots and connects the timeline of the plot.

But the plot of this part of the school speech requires a special scene, and it is not up to the crew to decide.

It's like the part where you were filming in Taicheng, and the time was not set by the crew, but decided by the school that provided the scene.

Now that the school has vacated the space, Lu Zhengyi and the others can only suspend the filming of the plot on the side of the rental house first, and rush over here to finish filming first.

To this end, he also spent one night to get the gift he prepared for the ensemble - autographs.

This group performance of the camera is, of course, the students recruited directly from the school.

is obviously a director, but Lu Zhengyi was asked for an autograph like a star.

But after all, he was asking for help, and this request was not excessive, so he agreed to them.

"Eat, eat, guys."

After Bai Wei said 'click', the crew temporarily started to take a lunch break.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Lu Zhengyi walked to the open space in front of the podium and clapped his palms, "Today's lunch is more sumptuous, it was prepared by Director Li who came to visit the class, thank you Director Li." ”

On the side, Zhou Ziyun, who was originally going to step forward, paused, and finally did not pass.

"Thank you, Director Li!"

"Director Li is so handsome!"

"Director Li, I will watch your films every day in the future!"

Below, whether it was the people in the plum civet crew or the temporarily invited student group performers, everyone was jubilant.

Standing next to him, Li Chuanxin responded politely with his hands folded.

"Ah Wei, you organize people to help divide it."

Then, Lu Zhengyi habitually handed over the chores of lunch boxes to Bai Wei.

But after a pause, he added, "After the boxed lunch, you come and eat with us." ”

"Okay!"

Bai Wei nodded, and hurriedly arranged for others to share the box lunch.

"I thought you had gone back."

Seeing that everyone else had passed, Lu Zhengyi followed Zhang Yu and Li Chuanxin to the corner of the auditorium, found a chair and sat down.

After a brief chat for one night before, the two also added WeChat to each other.

But the next day, Lu Zhengyi did not receive any more news from Li Chuanxin, and at first he thought that the things he said had persuaded people to quit, after all, although everyone was amiable on the surface, as Zhang Yu said, there were also cases where he turned his face when he turned around.

But after more than a week, he received a message from the other party again and realized that the person had not left and had been staying here in Liancheng.

"How can I do that, if I leave, I will definitely tell you." Li Chuanxin hurriedly explained, "Director Lu, the things you said that night, I thought about it for a night after I returned to the hotel, and the more I thought about it, the more empty my head became. ”

"Although horror films are niche, they are much more difficult to shoot than I thought."

"What you said about how to create a terrifying atmosphere, I have been thinking about it for more than a week. I've watched a lot of your films in the past week or so, and I maybe, probably, maybe...... I know how to shoot. ”

said so, but he didn't have much confidence in what he said.
