The monster villain of the extraordinary world

Chapter 35

"When you saw this kid for the first time, what was your first impression? What attracted your attention to him?"

The music in the warehouse of the bar was very exciting, but Sister Hua's voice was even louder. As she asked, she glanced at the people beside the black leather sofa.

"Bad face." Lackey said bluntly.Mohigan nodded at this: "Face." Ginny spoke excitedly: "It looks very special." Lingsha said casually: "The same kind."

While talking, everyone looked at Lei Yue.

His angel wings had been removed, and half of his tear makeup had been wiped off.

A good and half bad face, the good side is a handsome young man with youthful sunshine;

But on the rotten side, the purple-red scars and the damaged flesh made the glare of the bar dark.

"Every time I look in the mirror, I am amazed by myself." Lei Yue laughed at himself, emphasizing the word "surprise".

"Rotten face." Sister Hua pointed at him, "But it's not just a random rotten face.

She clicked her tongue, as if this face is good for drinking:
"If the whole face is rotten, it's not a problem; if the half of the face that is not rotten is not handsome, it is not a problem; if the half of the face that is not rotten is not scary enough, it is still not a problem.

"But he just happened to be like this, amazed and charming at the same time!"

As she spoke, she asked Lei Yue to sit down on the sofa, walked to his side, and stretched out her hand to pick up that bad face.

Both good and bad tugged a few times, making him passively make some expressions.

"Look at it, look at it, every expression is expressive."

Sister Hua suddenly let go of her hands, raised them up, and clenched them into fists.

"A mixture of horror and beauty, like a mystery, very dangerous but very attractive, there is something to do!"

"Sister Wuhua..." Lei Yue was so teased that he really wanted to complain, "Why didn't you say that when I played tricks with you..."

"Because there is no stage for you in the film and television city, but the stage for the mutants is different."

Sister Hua patted his head, "This face is your biggest feature. Resonance goals, character packaging, everything must be developed around this face."

"Hua Hua, I thought so too just now!"

Ginny raised a hand, like a good student obediently reporting to the teacher, "For the sake of everyone's acceptance, I want to make Xiao Yue an angel who has fallen into the world."

"You can't do that." Lackey stretched out his foot to kick Ginny away, "Sister Hua, which urban legend has your old man taken a fancy to? How about the man who failed in plastic surgery?"

"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Sister Hua angrily told them not to argue, and said to Lei Yue:

"If you're a trickster, you need some concepts to better understand what's going on, and to work hard in a certain direction of resonance, so that the chance of success in resonance will be greater."

For this, Mohawk agrees, "Old Hua has studied seriously, and has worked in a big company for several years, just listen to her."

"Well, Sister Hua, tell me." Lei Yue nodded and listened more carefully.

"I don't want to talk too much about communication and media studies, you just need to remember this sentence:

"Stars, great gods, and idols are all the monopoly of a certain personality, and it is the production, presentation and dissemination of this personality."

Sister Hua's plain face is very bright, I don't know if it's the glare or her own brilliance.

Lei Yue nodded slightly, and she said again:

"There is a communication term called 'communication code', which can also be called a symbol. When people see your symbol, what is the interpretation that comes to mind?
"This is what we have to clarify. Select some words that suit you from the vocabulary domain, form a new symbol, and continue to feed back those words to people."

Sister Hua saw that everyone didn't seem to understand, so she sighed, and had no choice but to further explain quickly:
"Let's take the shotgun man, the one who used to be at the height of his popularity.

"'Shotgun Man' is a symbol, and the words behind it are: kindness, righteousness, hatred of evil, good man, great ability comes great responsibility, I can marry my daughter to him.

"This is the personality, personality, and star positioning of the hunter.

"Every story, every act, every sentence, every detail of his, will not deviate from this vocabulary.

"When he deviates, his personality will collapse, he will no longer be a shotgun man, he will have no commercial value, and he will be out of date.

"But in those good times, the shotgun guy wouldn't stray.

"Thus, those companies whose product positioning is also 'friendly, safe, and mature' will find a shotgun man as a spokesperson, and everyone will buy it when they see it.

"The gunman and his team couldn't get a lot of money, and they lived in the big house one by one! Until he kept his eyes on Jack the Ripper, he broke himself step by step."

Sister Hua paused, looked at Lei Yue's rotten face, and said, "Understood?

"A successful star is a commodity in itself.

"Only when the positioning is clear, the personality is maintained, and the market is identified, can it be sold at a high price, and the same is true for heterogeneous stars."

After Sister Hua finished speaking, everyone fell into silence for a moment.

Lei Yue felt that he did understand more, not only about what they were doing, but also about the operation of all star industries.

A star is a symbol, a star is a commodity,
Superstars monopolize a certain personality...

Lackey shook the cigarette he was smoking in his hand, and said to everyone in a teaching tone: "This is what I said, professional."

Ginny applauded reverently, and Lackey then asked:

"Then Sister Hua, what urban legend do you want to choose for Lei Zi? Can't a guy who failed in plastic surgery really think about it?"

"Laki, you can shut up if you don't understand."

Sister Hua scolded, "Before we find the target of resonance, we need to figure out the character design first, otherwise we will just come up with such raky things as boys who failed plastic surgery and crying boys."

She looked at Lei Yue's ugly face again, "Who is this guy suitable for creating a personality?

"Funny? Inspirational? Love to tell pornographic jokes? Kind boy? Black-bellied and smiling? Get it all.

"These are not suitable, whether it is his appearance or my little understanding of him, he is not that passerby.

"My opinion is that we need to focus on two points:
"One, his face; two, his love for acting and his talent, if he wants to be an actor, he should be an actor. An actor happens to have the word 'unpredictable'."

"Ah!" Lackey snapped his fingers suddenly and interjected:
"Sister Hua, you mean, the type of scary actor? Like 'The Dwarf Swallowed by Hippopotamus'?"

As soon as Moxigan heard it, he shook his head helplessly, as if to say: Lagi is just provoking Sister Hua to scold her.

Sure enough, Sister Hua scolded immediately: "Laki, let me warn you first, whoever hinders or destroys this money-making plan, whoever makes trouble, I will do it!"

"I just want to make a lot of money now and live a peaceful life." She took a long breath.

Lackey suddenly scratched his head with a laugh, a little afraid to say anything, "Didn't you say you want to catch scary people and actors?"

"Xiao Yue, the dwarf devoured by the hippopotamus is a mutant, he has a little reputation."

Ginny immediately flipped through the "Encyclopedia of Urban Legends" in her hand, and turned out a page for Lei Yue who was puzzled:

【Hippo Eats Dwarf】

[Introduction: A circus dwarf performer performed with a hippopotamus, and put his body into the hippopotamus's wide-open mouth. The original performance was that the hippopotamus would not attack him, but this time the hippopotamus swallowed him alive. 】

[Resonance history: 1 time]

【Bard type: draw】

[Type: Odd People]

"Scary actors are available, but this draw is not enough!"

Sister Hua continued, "What we want is a thriller without absurdity and humor, but a thriller with a sublime aesthetic!"

Lei Yue looked at the illustration on the page. The dwarf actor standing in the mouth of the hippopotamus really didn't feel cold.

It's not because of the dwarves, but like Sister Hua said, I don't feel very cold about this kind of strange human legend that is mainly based on absurd traits.

Probably, not enough... sublime...

"As I said just now, being able to be scary is also a kind of sublime-sublime here is a term, don't get entangled that this word is usually used in a positive way."

Sister Hua looked at the rotten-faced boy, and her voice became louder and faster:

"The so-called sublime is the existence of power higher than ordinary people. It is shocking and unforgettable. It is always dreaming.

"Scary is one of them, people need scary stories, they need to be scared, they need this kind of stimulation, so there are so many horror movies and novels, and scary is a power!
"You know anyone as famous as Holmes, Moriarty.

"Do you know anyone as noble as God? Satan."

After Sister Hua finished her impassioned words, the corner of the second floor of the bar fell silent again.

But everyone's expressions are becoming excited.

Lei Yue listened to this, his heart beat faster...

He suddenly thought of another character, and couldn't help catching Sister Hua's words: "Like Jack the Ripper?"

"Huh?" Mo Xiqian turned his eyes to look away.

"Good guy." Lackey's eyes widened, "Jack the Ripper!? A legend of that level, you boy, you really have a big heart!"

Ginny covered her mouth in surprise, "Excellent."

"No, it's not enough, you have to be more charming than Jack the Ripper!" Sister Hua shook her head and vetoed this statement.

Lei Yue's eyes condensed slightly, and his heart beat faster, isn't that enough?
Everyone's eyes immediately returned to Sister Hua, and she said quickly:

"Jack the Ripper is a flat character with a vocabulary of brutality, horror and mystery.

"He brings pure fear, this is a pure bad guy, so there is no money to be made, forget about Big House, we may all have to go to jail.

"So, you, who are playing tricks, you have to be a round figure! Use Moriarty's methods, and do Sherlock Holmes' things.

"It's frightening, but it's also fanatical. It's hard to tell the good from the bad. You're obviously an outlaw, but the police just can't do anything about you.

"You know, other people are superheroes, and you, you're going to be an antihero, a controversial figure, a dark bad boy.

"This is my packaging positioning for you, the role I want to give you!

"As long as it can be done, as many of us as a group want to achieve it, we can achieve as much as we want."

The environment fell into silence again, only Lackey and Ginny giggled with joy, hahaha...

"It's interesting." Lingsha drove away the flying angels, her eyes under her colorful bangs were particularly bright, she said with a soft smile:

"What is stronger than hope? Destruction."

Bang bang, bang bang.

Lei Yue felt his heart beating violently, and noticed that the crow on his left shoulder also opened its black eyes.

destruction, black sheep, negative selection
dark, anti-hero

His eyes were slightly condensed, and various images of the past flashed before his eyes, those cold eyes and ridicule, those sympathy and pity...

Nobody wants to see your face.

Gradually, Lei Yue grinned that kind of smile that was said to be creepy.

Sister Hua is right, I don't need other people's sympathy, I always hate people saying "Come on".

To hell with the crying boy, there are no tears in Lei Yue's story.

"Sister Hua, the character you mentioned."

When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "I'm interested, and I think I can act well."

The entire bar warehouse seemed to be quiet, and the music seemed to be stuck, until everyone smiled, and Sister Hua yelled:
"That's fine, let's do it!"

Sister Hua slapped her palms, "The whole world is in motion, Ginny, according to this kind of personality, put on a style!"

"Oh, oh!" Ginny was also full of energy, and with the direction to display her talent, many ideas rushed out.

She waved her fingers and moved in the air, "Bad boy, cool boy, dark lord...that kind of style!"

"Let's do it, hurry up!" Sister Hua urged.

Ginny heard the sound, as if being whipped by Sister Hua holding a whip behind her back, she hurriedly got up, and ran to the utility room where she had been looking for clothes just now.

"What are you doing here, keep up." Sister Hua also drove Lei Yue away, holding his arm and walking, "Quick, quick!"

"Lesson N: Set the shape, start shooting!" Lackey chased after him with an old-fashioned DV player in his hand, and Mohawk also got up and followed slowly.

Only Lingsha was still sitting on the sofa, thinking about something, and murmured with a smile, "It's interesting."
