I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"Well, so-so."

Lu Jian nodded in agreement, but he was a little confused when he saw the performance of the music producer next to him just now.

Is there something wrong with this video?

===122. Immersive===

Lu Jian will definitely be fine when he watches this movie by himself.

He has watched so many materials before, and has been tinkering with the editing for a week. If there is a problem with the video materials, will he not know?

But looking at the reaction of the music producer next to him, it seems that people who watch movies will have a corresponding reaction?

Is it because he is special, or is this movie special?

Lu Jian is not very clear.

The movie basically followed Lu Jian’s experience, but vaguely explained the reason why he came here, and indirectly explained some background, a part of the story that introduced the background and characters, and then came the part where he met Hongye and went to investigate the missing painter.

Lu Jian has seen it countless times, so his focus is not on the screen, but on the reaction of the hammer around him.

He found that when he saw the bloody and bloody painting that looked like a hell scroll, Hammer's breathing stopped for a while.

The picture only stopped on the large projection screen for a moment, but Hammer was still immersed in the crazy painting. It seemed that there was a deep darkness and a colorful rainbow in front of his eyes, and he was infatuated for a while.

"It's hard for me to describe this painting, I can't say it, but I was shocked. The art of this movie is too strong. These pavilions, these courtyards, did you go abroad to shoot them?"

Hammer asked in a low voice.

"That's it."

Lu Yi felt that there might be something really wrong with this movie.

Because the little brother who was in charge of playing next to him was also staring at the screen, and became blurred, as if he was attracted by something magical.

Is it because I have seen a lot on weekdays, so I have developed immunity?

Lu Jian decided to consider the subsequent impact.

Hammer is still intoxicated by the scenery of Utashima, boasting about Lu Juan's art style, the plot has already entered a turning point, where Lu Juan and Hongye go up the mountain.

Under the dark torii gate, Lu Jian took the first perspective, surrounded by vast darkness, only a gleam of light in the approaching place.

Hammer could hear his own heartbeat, thump, thump, and suddenly, a heart-wrenching ballad rang out. He could only understand a few words, but the emotions conveyed in it really penetrated into Hammer's heart.

He felt chills in his limbs, and the auditorium seemed to have turned into a cold winter street. A burst of goosebumps came out, making Hammer shiver uncontrollably.

In such an environment, seeing the white mist again, Hammer's heart beat faster, and he felt that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

He is naturally quite courageous, and he can accept normal horror movies, but this is the first time he has such a physiological reaction after watching a movie.

It's as if I have come to the long, endless torii road, and I am alone in it, with neither the beginning nor the end.

For some reason, Hammer recalled a scene of walking at night once in his mind.

It was also a very dark night. He was walking alone on the road, and he couldn't see the road in front of him, nor could he see the road behind him. If he didn't rely on the dim street lights that passed by from time to time, he would have thought he had entered a different world. In the absolute silence and darkness, fear is awakened and breeds.

Everything comes to a standstill as the film brushes past the hem of the woman in the miko costume.

Hammer only felt a ringing in his ears, unable to think about anything, followed by a violent heartbeat, and the feeling of a sudden relaxation of his tense body from just now.

In some special cases, the human body is highly tense due to concentration, and when the pressure is released in the face of terror or the like, when it is completely relaxed, some muscles that should not be relaxed may also lie flat. The reason why I was scared to pee.

Of course, the hammer didn't scare him to pee, he felt as if his whole body had grown hair, and every inch of skin was shrinking and relaxing. When he came back to his senses, his back was already covered in sweat.

Is this scene really scary?Hammer thought about it for a while, and felt that it wasn't entirely true. He just thought of walking at night when he was a child, and he had resonance, which made him feel a little worried, and the shadow of the witch was far less shocking than the sudden appearance of a grimace.

But why am I so scared.

Where did you think you had seen that witch's face before?

Hammer tried to close his eyes to relieve it, but found that even if he closed his eyes, he still saw the face of the witch.

"!"

He couldn't help but straighten his body.

Seeing Lu Jian and Hong Ye walking into the shrine, and seeing the scene where the witches and priests were sitting upright lined up, Hammer couldn't help admiring the composition of the picture.

"I think this movie is not about the plot, but about the storyboard and the art style, which really reflects the skill."

Hammer has generally heard that the style of a director depends on his background. Those with a background in screenwriting and film production pay special attention to the plot and the relationship between characters, while directors with a background in photography and art have a strong sense of camera.

Of course, there are also some directors whose pictures are very good, but the plots are poor. The current plots of Lu Jian’s movies, Hammer thinks, are quite satisfactory, and they are common thriller and suspense themes.

However, when it came time to play [One Hundred People, One Song], Hammer felt something was wrong.

He felt that the entire auditorium had become dark.

The flickering candlelight made Hammer narrow his eyes.

He felt as if the voice of chanting poetry no longer existed only in the screen, but sounded from the four corners.

The voice slowly moved from the left front to the left rear, and then from the left rear to the right rear.

Infected by the picture, Hammer couldn't help slowing down his breathing. He saw Hongye walking towards the corner, holding a candle, and the pale-faced witch, and his heart also hung up.

Hammer wanted to say a few words, but found that he couldn't open his mouth. It was as if his body was pressed by a heavy object. He couldn't move. He couldn't even close his eyes. He could only watch Hongye step by step. Go to the front of the hideous witch.

"What's the matter, I was scared?"

Hammer panicked inside, he didn't expect a movie to cause such a situation.

He watched the bleak and terrifying Miko getting closer until her face almost took up the entire screen.

hum-

A sound broke the stiffness of Hammer's body, and he was able to breathe heavily. Looking at Lu Lian who saved Hongye on the screen, he was even a little grateful.

Seeing this, Hammer felt that he had to slow down.

"Let's take a break and I'll go to the bathroom."

He said with a trembling voice, asked his assistant to pause the video, and walked to the company bathroom by himself.

After releasing the pressure, Hammer lifted his pants and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

After patting his face with water, Hammer raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.

Some haggard, some dark circles, as if just experienced some torture.

"This movie has a strong sense of atmosphere..."

He muttered something, turned off the tap, and took one last look at himself in the mirror.

He saw himself in the mirror smiling at him.

And he wasn't smiling at all.

"..."

Hammer held on to the wall, a little dizzy.

He strongly suspects that his body may not be able to support himself before he finishes watching this movie!

===123. Pursuing Music Producer===

As it turned out, Hammer was still wrong.

The script of this movie is not ordinary, but has some twists and turns.

After watching the movie and waiting for the final credits to appear, Hammer remained silent.

"So, all this is a dream experienced by the protagonist, a dream about the past?"

He couldn't help asking Lu Jian.

"Hongye died many years ago. Her undead wanted to make up for her mistakes, so she helped the protagonist kill herself?"

"Is this island real, or is it just an illusion in the fog?"

"If the entire island is devoured by the last flames lit by the red leaves, what will the protagonist do to survive?"

Hammer has many questions.

When he saw the ending, Hongye's memory flashed back those cruel and tragic scenes. He saw Hongye burning herself, dispelling the fog from the entire island, and seeing the first ray of sunlight penetrate the fog, illuminating the people surrounded by pale flames. Compared with the excitement of seeing the ending, it was more of a kind of melancholy.

It was obviously just a short video of just over an hour, but for some reason, Hammer felt as if he had really experienced an adventure with this witch, and the faint sadness was hard to dispel.

Instead of waiting for Lu Jian's answer, he came to the aisle by the window of the studio and lit a cigarette slowly, trying to let the irritating gas flow through his lungs to relieve the emotional fluctuations.

However, when the smoke entered the respiratory tract, Hammer inexplicably remembered the feeling when the shrine on the top of the mountain was shrouded in fog. He coughed violently several times before he extinguished the cigarette butt and returned to the screening room.

He saw that his assistant was also in a daze, immersed in the film, unable to extricate himself.

Seeing the situation of the two of them, Lu Jian determined that there must be something wrong with his movie.

It's just that this problem is not serious, and it won't be like Sadako's videotape and she will have a heart attack and die on the spot.

It's more like an epidemic, a meme pollution, and people who see it will feel like they are in the scene of the movie.

For example, in the ocean scene at the beginning, it will make people feel chest tight and out of breath.

The fog of uncertainty in the shrine on the top of the mountain will make people feel that their lungs are burning and they want to cough.

When playing [Hundred People, One Song], I also feel that I can't move, can't speak, and can't even close my eyes.

Of course, the sound coming from the four corners is nothing special, it's just the stereo edited by Lu Jian.

But from Hammer's point of view, this is simply invincible.

Think about it, when you watch a movie, you can feel the same environment and produce the same emotions as the characters in the movie. This sense of substitution may be comparable to intubation in the back of the head.

Hammer had been exposed to movies before, he felt that as long as he could move himself, make his blood boil, and make him frightened, it would be enough.

But now, Lu Jian's movies are not touched by the perception transformed by vision and hearing at all, but are completely his own personal experience. Even the simplest scenes and emotions will cause huge waves in his heart.

"Director Lu... Teacher Lu, I feel that I have a lot of inspiration in my mind now. Your work is really amazing. This is the first time I have seen such an immersive movie. Believe me , I will soon be able to create a suitable soundtrack for your production... No, please make sure to let me score your video!"

Perhaps it was because of the relatively large impact, or perhaps the music producer was more emotional, Hammer suddenly felt that this soundtrack was duty-bound.
