Chapter 363: [Assist]
It's not so much tame, but rather that Lu Zhengyi gave him a new understanding.
Spiritual beings are special, and although they are non-human beings, they possess human intelligence.
They are even distinguished from their own kind.
In this world, it is a very special and independent existence.
But the position they are in is also special.
Even if it is between people, if they have different positions, they may become enemies of life and death, not to mention, there are differences in species.
Before knowing Lu Zhengyi, for Black Snake, humans were enemies.
The moment the poacher goes up the mountain, he kills and eats the poacher.
Humans are the enemy of the black snake, and it is food.
So whether it is later, when he meets human beings again, or when he faces pure real people, he has such a cognition, and this is how he does it.
But after Lu Zhengyi, his perception changed.
Or rather, his position has changed.
People can change their positions and personalities because of all kinds of things, not to mention, spiritual creatures have wisdom that is not weak, or even stronger than ordinary people.
He's going to change, too.
Not to mention how close the relationship is, but at least, Black Snake is now on the same path as Lu Zhengyi.
……
This movie of Bixian, in fact, is the same as the old corpse in the mountain village, it belongs to the kind of movie that can think of the end when you see the head and the introduction.
The script is very old-fashioned, with a group of people playing a psychic game or encountering some medium that has been haunted by evil spirits.
Then, one by one, the participants died under the entanglement of Chu Renmei and the pen fairy.
So the point is how to make these so that the audience can see the plot at the end at a glance and shoot it interestingly.
More precisely, the shooting is scary.
Let the audience know the plot, but they will still be frightened, and will be frightened by the terrifying atmosphere created by the director and the production team.
This point, Lu Zhengyi's original old corpse in the mountain village did it.
But Li Chuanxin did not have confidence in this.
"This ...... What do you think? Still doesn't work? ”
Upstairs, in the screening hall with the same equipment as the theater, Li Chuanxin looked nervously at Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming next to him, from the moment the movie started to the end, there was no change in the faces of the two of them.
Like, disgusted, puzzled, afraid?
Not at all.
This made his heart beat a little drum, and he wondered if he could shoot well even if he followed the storyboard.
The two of them are the lifesavers of his film.
Without the investment of light and shadow, this project would have been yellow.
As for Li Chuanxin's nervousness, Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming glanced at each other.
"You say it first?"
Lu Zhengyi asked.
"Okay, then I'll talk first."
Zhang Xueming nodded, got up and turned on the light first, and then sat back in her seat, "I think it's not bad." ”
"Although my main job is to help with the post-production aspects of the project, I don't know much about the actual shooting."
"But I've watched a lot of films, like Director Li's film, if, I mean, if, I'm as an audience, I think it can attract me."
Speaking of this, she paused, "But after all, I've seen too many films, so I can still bear this level of fright." ”
"It's not that I was so scared."
Her own psychological tolerance is relatively high, and after knowing Lu Zhengyi, she has learned some special things and experienced some adventures that ordinary people don't have, so a movie like this can't make her particularly afraid.
Li Chuanxin breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly looked at Lu Zhengyi.
"I don't have any bad reviews, but I will shoot it, and that's probably it." Lu Zhengyi also gave a good evaluation, "After all, I have also read your storyboard, and Mr. Yu's acting skills, needless to say, those audiences will definitely be satisfied." ”
He's not kidding.
Li Chuanxin is more than ten years older than him, and his work experience in the directing industry is much longer than him.
Although it is his first time to shoot a horror film, he has been exposed to a lot of other types of movies, TV series, and online dramas.
After learning some skills and experience in shooting horror films from his own side, he quickly transformed them into his own.
As for the content filmed, there are even some shadows of yourself in it.
Like the switching of some shots and the design of some pictures, Lu Zhengyi has a sense of déjà vu that this film is actually shot by himself.
Of course, after reading this pen fairy, he immediately had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
It's like adding the skills of special employees in your crew in some clips.
If these pictures are supplemented, this horror film shot by Li Chuanxin will definitely be a great success.
But no.
This movie was shot by Li Chuanxin, and his name was written in the director's column.
I can't make my own opinions, shoot some materials for him to add.
Even if Li Chuanxin knew about this matter, he might be hindered by his identity and friendship, and he would not refuse.
But Lu Zhengyi couldn't do that.
"Is that so......"
Both of them are praise, and they are also praised by professionals, but Li Chuanxin's face is a little ugly.
Indeed, both professionals gave good reviews.
But again, there's a little bit of information in their evaluation that's important – if it's the audience.
If it is from the audience's point of view, this movie can be appealing.
If you are from the audience's point of view, they feel frightened and uneasy.
If......
It's all about what about the audience, and what about themselves? There was no emotion at all.
's own works and films did not make these two professionals have a trace of emotional touch.
And they are from the perspective of the audience, thinking that this film can be successful.
But can people really empathize with each other?
Besides, Lu Zhengyi doesn't care, after all, people specialize in making this type of film, and his storyboard is revised by his opinions, and he knows very well where something should appear.
But what about Zhang Xueming?
Even though she has participated in the production of many film projects, she does not specialize in horror films after all.
And as a girl, she will be less daring, right?
But in fact, even she was not touched in the slightest.
This made Li Chuanxin's heart sink to the bottom.
This is his first attempt at horror filming, confidence? That's not at all.
After all, in this market, the only one who has been successfully recognized by the audience so far is only Lu Zhengyi.
Other directors, no matter how big they are, how famous, how rich, whoever goes on and who dies.
"Director Li, how do you look like you don't have much confidence."
His face was too obvious, and Lu Zhengyi stood up helplessly, "There are some things that you haven't ...... All in all, we have experienced some things that are more heart-wrenching than what happened in this film, so this film has nothing to fear for us. ”
He wanted to say that people have no experience.
But when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Li Chuanxin had also experienced some special events.
It's just that he forgot, under the interference of the mountain viewing road chiefs, he just had a dream, and he forgot.
“…… But the current domestic environment is too different from nine years ago. ”
Li Chuanxin hesitated and expressed the concerns in his heart, "This pen immortal, I think it is worse than your original old corpse in the mountain village. ”
"But now the domestic audience's acceptance and tolerance of horror and thriller themes are higher than before, and the big guys have been trained in the release of your movies one by one."
"Even I don't think it will be possible to succeed if we put the old corpse of the mountain village nine years ago into the present."
The audience's appetite was fed.
It's like before, when the old corpse in the mountain village was first released, it was overwhelmingly scolding, why scolding? Because I was scared and afraid of giving a bad review.
But that kind of bad review in the opposite direction is actually a plus for horror films.
But if this film is put to the present, it may not be.
"It's also possible."
Zhang Xueming rationally analyzed, "In fact, not only the film and television industry, but even other industries have been vigorously developing and promoting horror and thriller culture in recent years. ”
"This bowl of rice is still very fragrant, in terms of film and television, for the time being, only Ayi is doing it alone, but there are still quite a few people in other industries who are willing to rush and break through, after all, the cost is different."
"But what is not risky, there must be, Ayi also took risks when he first made those movies, and it was also later, when his fame went up and the audience recognized it, he had the certainty of victory."
Li Chuan's confidence was even more panicked, "But it's ......"
This rational analysis does not seem to be comforting him.
"Director Li, I remember that your goal at the beginning was not the attitude of trying it out."
Lu Zhengyi looked at him funny, "At that time, you said that someone has to give it a try, if the results are not good, even if you save character, as long as you put your heart and soul into making a movie, it can be released smoothly, it will be considered a success." ”
This bowl of rice, how many directors haven't swallowed it, when Li Chuanxin first came to him, his attitude towards the performance goal was very casual.
If you can earn it, you can earn it, and if you can't earn it, you can think of it as spending money to buy lessons, which can be regarded as a bold attempt.
"Well, isn't it delaying for too long?"
Li Chuanxin had a bitter face, it also depends on the situation.
When he first said that he was going to shoot, his Guzhai record was released and sold well.
A low-budget adventure film made him money and fame, and he was in high spirits at the time.
Try a horror movie that doesn't cost much, try it, the cost is low anyway.
But what is the situation now, the film has been made for a few years, no, it should be said that it has dragged on for a few years!
In a few years, he didn't have any income at all, but he got into it a lot.
Li Chuanxin even bought a house in his hometown, and what he put into it is no longer 'trying' or 'buying lessons'!
All of a sudden, this situation is a bit like buying funds and stocks, as soon as he listened to Lu Zhengyi explain some of the insights of horror films, his heart gushed with infinite creative inspiration, and after he went back, he worked hard to write a book, while discussing with Lu Zhengyi, and creating a storyboard.
Later, he watched the script change more and more, and began to think about investing more.
Then there was trouble, the investor withdrew the investment, and the original screenwriter did not agree to the authorization...... Some of the problems, Li Chuanxin invested time again.
Before he knew it, he was trapped.
Giving up means that these years have been wasted.
Li Chuanxin even relied on favors to get the investment from Lu Zhengyi.
And failure means ......
"Anyway, the film has been filmed." Lu Zhengyi comforted him, "You yourself feel that there is nothing to innovate and modify, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven." ”
"If it fails, it's a big deal to try again."
"In fact, Xue Ming and I both feel that compared to the grades, Director Li, you are willing to spend a few years working hard for an attempt, which is more worthy of our support."
The implication of his words is already obvious.
If it fails, the couple is willing to pay.
"This ......"
And the meaning revealed in Lu Zhengyi's words made Li Chuanxin a little stunned.
"Remember, when we first met? At that time, we were filming different dimensions, and we chatted together on the university playground where we borrowed the venue. A memory appeared on Lu Zhengyi's face, "I said that only by succeeding together can we drive the progress of the industry, and I am not enough alone." ”
"A hundred flowers blooming and competing for beauty is the result I want."
"I also hope to see some good horror works here."
……
Several people had a meal together, and Li Chuanxin said goodbye first, and he had to rush to the film and television drama to send the finished film for review.
But when he left, he was a little emotional, and even more admired.
For example, if you hope that a hundred flowers will bloom in the industry and compete for beauty, many entrepreneurs have said that everyone in front of the news and the public is talking about healthy competition with each other, which can collide with more sparks.
But privately, how many companies can do it?
I can't wait for it, only I dominate this track, and I directly monopolize the entire industry.
Not to mention supporting young and small businesses, suppression is a common thing.
Acquire and suppress the team that may grow up in advance to avoid having another opponent in the subsequent competition.
Perhaps, the words of many entrepreneurs are not joking, but those are the thoughts they had when they were young.
'If I can succeed, I will never suppress small companies like those companies now', 'If I can do it, I will make money with the big guys', 'If I ......'
It's all ifs.
When my company really grew up and became a behemoth, my mind changed.
When the money is in hand, how can there be any reason to divide it?
People are selfish, after all, people's hearts are biased.
But Lu Zhengyi is so special, he really doesn't care that others can take his place and pull him down from the position of the best director in the horror and thriller category, let alone how much money he will make less with competitors.
As a person, as an adult, as an ambitious person, he acts as if he doesn't care about these things at all.
He doesn't care at all about these temptations that most people in society can't resist.
Li Chuanxin said goodbye, and the Taoist of Guanshan did not stay long, and after reminding him a few words about the spiritual object, he left.
"Do you have confidence in his films?"
As soon as the door was closed, the family was full of their own people, Lu Zhengyi and his wife sat on the sofa in the living room with the little fat baby in their arms, enjoying the long-lost quiet, by the way, saying something that outsiders can't ask too bluntly.
"Professionally, yes."
Lu Zhengyi hesitated and replied, "But this kind of work involving entertainment is very uncontrollable. ”
"The audience's impression of the director, the impression of the actors, the warm-up, and the things encountered during the release can affect a work."
"But there are some things that you always have to try, and he's mustered up the courage to take so many steps on this road, and it's worth it for me to give an assist and help push it from behind."
