Chapter 262: [Silence is the Norm]
In the dimly lit auditorium, only the faint fluorescence of the screen provides a very faint light source.
With the appearance of the dragon mark, a woman who looks a little 'dirty' appears on the screen.
It's not because of how tattered her clothes are, or how sloppy her hairstyle is.
On the contrary, she dresses very carefully, and even her hair dyed in black and brown gradient color is very layered, but she is such a person, when she appears on the screen, she gives people a very gloomy and sluggish sense of déjà vu.
It's as if she didn't dress very fashionably and exquisitely, but was a housemaid who hadn't been out for more than half a month, hadn't even taken a bath, and was covered in greasy.
In the venue, many audience members nodded secretly.
The people present who can come here to attend the premiere are actually very likely to be no longer ordinary audiences.
In addition to some people who bought scalped tickets in order to see Lu Zhengyi's side, some are professional film critics or more avid horror lovers.
Their vision is higher than that of ordinary audiences, and it can be said that they are more critical.
Normally, in addition to their own internal conditions such as belief and acting skills, actors also need to rely on makeup and costumes...... and other external factors, in order to better highlight a character's emotions and personality.
For example, a person in a high position is always wearing a suit and leather shoes, and a person who is down-and-out or has been hit will begin to show unpaid details such as an unshaven beard and a greasy face to highlight his situation.
But in this way, many characters seem to be a little homogeneous.
It's obviously a different character, but people can always find similarities in it.
As for who is good and who is bad, and who can be remembered and praised better, it depends on who is the predecessor and who is more capable.
And fewer actors can do it, even if they have an image that does not match the character, they can still show the character's character through their own internal conditions.
This kind of interpretation can make the characters more three-dimensional and realistic.
After all, in reality, they are either glamorous or rich, or they are depressed or pitiful.
The man who wears flip-flops and dresses like a jobless vagrant, may have more than a dozen properties under his name alone, and he can only rely on collecting rent for the rest of his life, and he doesn't have to work at all.
And now, the woman who just appeared on the screen is like this.
The glamorous dress did not bring her a sense of domineering, but because of the demeanor, body movements, shooting techniques of the camera, the reflection of the lights, and the filters in the later stage...... made her whole person look gloomy.
Lu Zhengyi's requirements for actors are as strict as ever.
Originally, I identified those 'familiar faces', such as Chang Zhengwei, Zhang Yuming, and Yu Wenxiu...... The audience of these 'Lu Jiaban' began to pay attention to the performance of this 'newcomer'.
'Looks pretty good. ’
At the end of the audience, the main creative team including Lu Zhengyi did not wait in the lounge, but quietly entered the venue and watched the movie with the audience.
Especially the two leading actors, Huang Yunli and Zhou Ziyun, their attention is not in the film at all, but on the whole audience.
Every time an audience member inadvertently raises their hands, or changes their sitting posture uncomfortably, their faces will show a thoughtful look.
It seems to be thinking about whether they are not satisfied with the interpretation of this paragraph or something.
Such a scene reminded Lu Zhengyi of when the old corpse in the mountain village was released, and the group of them also sat in the corner like this, staring at others without blinking.
If the screen debut refers to the first time as the leading actors, this is probably the first appearance of the two.
In the past, although Zhou Ziyun and Huang Yunli have also been on the big screen, they are basically supporting roles with no roles.
And this time they appeared as the leading actors, and any performance in the film would affect the overall quality of the film, so they were all extremely nervous.
"Ahh
With a scream, in the film, Zhang Xin, as the heroine, 'saw the hell' for the first time. ’
When she faced the ghost and climbed onto the kitchen stove in a panic by stepping on the broken glass, the audience in the audience gradually did not seem to drink milk tea, change their sitting posture, and eat...... and so on, holding their breath one by one, staring at the screen.
That's what I see. ’
As a 'senior director', Lu Zhengyi looked at their appearance and knew very well that they had begun to immerse themselves in the terrifying atmosphere created by the crew.
And as long as they watch it, as the plot develops, they will soon be able to feel the charm of this movie.
It was a feeling of oppression and warmth.
"Will you believe me? Zhang Xin, everything you see is just your brain deceiving. ”
"There are no ghosts in this world, and there is no such thing as what you see is the truth."
"You don't have yin and yang eyes, what you see is just an illusion, an illusion that you have suppressed in your heart for a long time, I am not just a doctor, I am still your friend, do you want to believe me?"
……
"Doctor Luo, how can I overcome these hallucinations?"
"Thank you, I feel like I'm a lot more relaxed after getting to know you."
"Perhaps, can I just call you Luo Zhan?"
……
"Luo Zhan, Luo Zhan! Wake up! ”
"There are no ghosts in this world, Luo Zhan!"
"Don't be afraid, it's all fake, I've seen it before, so I can understand how you feel now, it's all fake, you're a doctor, you know better than me how to explain the current situation and solve the problems on your body, you ......"
When the identities of the patient and the doctor are swapped in the film, an absurd sense of déjà vu emerges.
Even a very famous psychiatrist does not know how to save himself when he has a mental condition of his own.
'So this is a warm movie?' Redemption between two psychopaths. ’
And when all the audience thinks that this is a story of mental illness comforting each other.
On the screen, behind Zhang Xin, who was facing Luo Zhan, a miserable white palm suddenly stretched out and caressed her cheek.
Although there was only one miserable white hand, and she didn't even see a grimace, when the sharp nails landed on her face, all the audience couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Under the close-up shot, every viewer can clearly see Zhang Xin's face with anxious and pitying emotions, slammed and became extremely stiff.
Her eyes widened unconsciously, and at the same time horror and disbelief surfaced.
Seemingly, she could feel the hand caressing her cheek.
'Isn't this a hallucination?' ’
The corners of Lu Zhengyi's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he could feel that there would definitely be such a sentence in the hearts of those audiences.
"Go away!"
There was no picture of Luo Zhan in the camera, only his roar.
Then, from the edge of the close-up, a rolling and crawling figure fled from the side.
In the camera, only Zhang Xin was left standing in place stunned.
She didn't get up and continue to chase Luo Zhan as urgently as before, but just stood there, motionless.
"Heal? I'm sick with a psychiatrist, how do I know how to treat it! ”
"Control yourself? How can I control myself! ”
"Now that ghost is standing there, how can I cure it? I said to her, I'm sorry, it's my fault, please let me go? ”
The next shot is Luo Zhan's one-man show.
He climbed onto the elevated platform of the roof alone, hysterically venting his emotions.
His fear, his anger, his helplessness...... From demeanor to body and language, he poured his emotions into the hearts of the audience without reservation.
And as the camera continues to zoom in, the audience seems to feel that they have become that 'ghost', approaching him step by step.
The film is only supported by a small number of sound effects, and for the most part, Lu Zhengyi refers to the shooting style of the curse and handles it with the original sound.
So at this time, except for the hysterical roar and whirring wind of Luo Zhanna in the film, the theater was as quiet as if there was no one.
Even the sound of breathing was extremely faint.
"I'm going to put my words here today, if you're really a ghost, you can push me down."
"But if you're hallucinating, from today onwards, I won't be afraid of you anymore!"
"Come on!"
In the film, with Luo Zhan's roar, the camera has completely come to him.
At this time, he looked at the camera, and every sentence seemed to be said to the audience outside the camera.
The next moment, the pale palm appeared again.
At this moment, even the faint sound of breathing in the theater has disappeared!
Their feelings are not wrong, this perspective is the perspective of ghosts!
They're ghosts!
And the moment the thin palm without any blood pushed towards Luo Zhan, the film officially ended.
Lu Zhengyi's movies have always silenced the audience.
After watching the theater, the audience seemed to be shut one by one.
Of course, even the body was glued to the chair.
When the names and positions of the main creative team appeared at the end of the film, and the small light above the theater was on, no audience stood up, let alone spoke.
"So, everybody, this is ...... Satisfied? ”
As a newcomer who participated in the premiere for the first time, Huang Yunli's experience is relatively small.
And because the film has ended, she no longer needs to worry about ruining the atmosphere of the movie, so she wants to ask a few people next to her in a very low voice.
But in today's extremely quiet theater, no matter how weak Huang Yunli's voice is, it is also clear.
In an instant, almost everyone in the audience in front of them turned their heads and looked at them expressionlessly with miserable white faces.
This time, Huang Yunli was frightened.
"Hahaha, it looks like everyone is satisfied."
Lu Zhengyi, who was already accustomed to such scenes, stood up and said hello, "Hello everyone, I'm Lu Zhengyi, the director of another dimension." ”
Audience: "......"
After a few seconds of abrupt silence, there was finally a look on their expressionless faces.
"Director Lu, you said before that this is a warm movie?"
"No, Director Lu, is Luo Zhan dead in the end?"
"Luo Zhan is definitely a hell, right?"
"You can still laugh, Director Lu."
"I'm really convinced, Director Lu, I don't dare to go home alone later, you have to be responsible!"
Immediately after, noisy voices finally sounded in the theater.
They are all complaining and questioning Lu Zhengyi because of the movie just now.
Is this a warm film?
There is no warmth in the whole process, they only feel depressed after reading it, and they only feel uncomfortable in their hearts!
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Lu Zhengyi hurriedly signaled them to be calm, and even without a microphone, his voice reached everyone's ears very clearly, "Everyone's questions are the topic of our next interactive session, and now that I have answered, won't it be cold to wait." ”
"If we need to leave early, or if we are friends who go to the bathroom, we can leave from the aisle on the other side, and before leaving, please tell the staff at the door, we have a special link here."
"Friends who don't need it, please wait a few minutes in your seat, and our staff will arrange it to start as soon as possible."
He said as he led the others from their seats and walked down the aisle towards the front.
Outside the theater, the staff of the theater had already hurriedly entered the theater one after another, and while preparing for the stage, some people began to stand up from the aisle to maintain order.
At the same time, some media reporters began to enter the venue, setting up cameras between the stage and the audience.
The whole preparation process is very fast, probably because Lu Zhengyi's reputation is not the same as when he interacted with the first commandment before, or because Light and Shadow Media has now developed into a light and shadow group, and the theater party attaches great importance to their event arrangements.
At least in terms of staffing and equipment specifications, it has far surpassed the previous ones.
"Test test."
The screen on which the movie was shown before has now entered a live broadcast room on the shark live broadcast platform.
Lu Zhengyi said hello to the camera used for the live broadcast.
And inside, the barrage has long been dense, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Then next, our premiere event will begin."
After simply confirming that the live video was clear enough, Lu Zhengyi picked up the microphone facing the audience below and the camera of the live broadcast, "But before we start, as a director and investor, I need to explain one thing to you." ”
"I've heard that our movie tickets are priced in hundreds or thousands on the Internet, right?"
"How to say it, what an honor, the horror film made by our crew will one day cause such a big response, here, as the director, on behalf of our entire crew, I am very grateful for the support of the audience who love horror movies."
As he spoke, he bowed to the camera.
"But about this situation, we are actually more distressed, because how can movie tickets for dozens of dollars be sold for hundreds, thousands."
"So after I discussed with other investors, we made a decision, and after the event was over, everyone could provide the news records and transfer records of their movie ticket purchases...... We will arrange someone to make up the extra money as an apology from our organizer. ”
"It's because we didn't think about the current situation and hastily launched such an event, and later, I think we will hold similar events less often, or try to carry out the event in a free way, such as the online premiere interactive session, so as to avoid some opportunistic people taking advantage of our love for horror movies in the process."
