Xue Yanchao also likes horror and horror themes. He eats all kinds of alien zombies and man-eating sharks. He has read countless movies and has long since become numb to all kinds of routines. Therefore, although the puppet show has little water, there is no inflatable doll female ghost in the place that should be scary. However, Xue Yanchao, who has been heavily polluted by capitalist/ism culture, has no turmoil in his heart, and he doesn't feel like his chrysanthemum is tight and his back is cold.

Horror films have always been regarded as weak in the domestic market. The general environment is not good, the barriers to entry are low, and bad films emerge in endlessly.Some well-known directors also practiced horror films when they were young, but they avoided such subjects after they became famous.However, it is clear that Ji Zizheng, a new director who is trying his hand at the edge, does not have this idea. His idea is quite simple, no matter what type of art film or commercial film you are, make a film with dedication, do not feed the audience shit, and earn money seriously.

In fact, there is no distinction between genre films. Horror films are a genre with a particularly good business model, with less investment and more output. This has long been confirmed in the European and American film markets.Moreover, the tastes of Chinese people have obviously been heavily tuned/educated by various foreign zombie and ghost films in recent years, so the domestic horror film market still has great potential.

After thinking about the script for so many days, Xue Yanchao felt that he had understood the script thoroughly.The plot of the puppet drama is not too complicated, but the rhythm is well laid out, the plot is full of surprises, and the ending is very ambiguous. It is a very mature commercial film. The main highlights are the uncanny valley effect and plot reversal , but these are also common horror elements.As an old player of Resident Evil, The Walking Dead and Silent Hill, playing horror games for so many years is not in vain.

Besides, the two-headed ghost that Xue Yanchao is going to play is actually a very simple NPC character whose only function is to scare people. Anyone who doesn't pay attention to personal image can basically play the role.The two-headed ghost was not a decent person before his death, but a conjoined twin. He finally lived to be a teenager, but was poisoned to death by his healthy brother, the male protagonist Du Hongchang, who thought he was burdensome, so the two-headed ghost took the shape That's how it came about.

The part of his current audition is the part where the two-headed ghost was poisoned to death by the leading actor Du Hongchang before his death, and he is playing with Cecil, a handsome half-breed boy who has just tried a solo role.

Xue Yanchao now has to act as a conjoined twin. Because he has no feet and has heads on both sides, he can only support it with his hands, and it takes a lot of effort to move a little. According to the script, Cecil helped him onto the bed. On the performance stage, Cecil said a line, but Xue Yanchao just stared blankly.

Cecil said his lines again, and he just came back to his senses with a dazed look on his face.

Cecil thought he hadn't joined the scene, and his already slumped face became even more sluggish. From the corner of his eye, he found that the director's team lowered their heads and took notes. They continued to act without calling for a stop.

Cecil said, "Drink the medicine."

Xue Yanchao took the prop plastic bowl, took a sip of air, and recited a line paralyzed.

Cecil responded to a line with a paralyzed face.

The director team also looked at the two with paralyzed faces and read.

Then Xue Yanchao yelled according to the flow of the script, fell off the performance stage, and stretched his hands and feet straight. After more than 10 seconds, he began to convulse with gaps. His convulsions were very realistic, and his muscles contracted violently. The muscles are also terribly twisted.

He twitched like this for a minute and suddenly stopped, half-rolling his eyes, white foam oozing from the corners of his mouth, compared to his excellent reading, he was really dying with real emotion.

"Okay." Ji Zizheng shouted to stop.

Xue Yanchao, who had just died tragically, immediately jumped up vigorously, bowed to the director team with Cecil, and walked out of the rehearsal hall.

Ji Zizheng lowered his head and sent Xue Yanchao a WeChat message: "Wait for me, I have something to tell you."

A few people around him discussed in a low voice, Tian Yong asked Ji Zizheng: "Director Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Zizheng said, "Keep Xue Yanchao first, and the blue-eyed one has to change roles."

"Okay, I got it," Tian Yong smiled, "It's just that Xiaoxue was a little flustered at the beginning, and Cecil didn't catch the lines he said."

Ji Zizheng said, "It's not panic, it's epileptic seizures."

Tian Yong wondered, "Epileptic?"

"Conjoined twins generally have many complications," Ji Zizheng said, "Similar to the two-headed ghost in the movie, they are born with deformities, and they are more likely to have intracranial birth injuries and cortical developmental deformities, so they are likely to have epilepsy. The script often says that Du Hongchang communicates with the two-headed ghost, but the two-headed ghost is always in a daze, and then can't remember what he said before, this is because of epileptic seizures."

In fact, Xue Yanchao's poisoning scene later was completely performed according to the symptoms of epileptic seizures.

Tian Yong smiled and said: "It seems that this kid has done quite a lot of homework, not bad."

Ji Zizheng had no expression on his face, thinking that he was a good ass, it must be because he really had epilepsy or someone around him had epilepsy.

Ji Zizheng has watched Xue Yanchao's previous performance clips before, and the acting skills are really suffocating. To say that Xue Yanchao is a walking emoji is to praise him. To die today with such real feelings is definitely not a week or two. The one who got it out had to be the rich experience of pretending to be dead after running for so long.

The next few groups also performed mediocrely, Ji Zizheng didn't bother to look any further, and lowered his head to play with his phone.He hesitated for a moment, clicked on Xue Yanchao's WeChat, and sent him a message: I have something to tell you, and I will meet you later if you are free.

It didn't take long to reply to Xue Yanchao.

Xue Yanchao: Okay, okay, Director Ji, let me treat you to dinner

Xue Yanchao: [hugs thigh]

Ji Zizheng: [ugly refusal]

Ji Zizheng: Pull it down, bribing me is useless

Xue Yanchao: Hahaha, what about AA?

Ji Zizheng: ...

Ji Zizheng really convinced him of this logic.

Xue Yanchao: How about Shaguoju, I think the taste is not bad, shall we sit in the private seats on the second floor?

Ji Zizheng's conversation, which he expected to finish in 2 minutes, turned into dinner inexplicably. He and Xue Yanchao ordered a pot of white meat, dry fried small balls, and braised family portraits. It felt like they didn't have to eat breakfast tomorrow morning.

Xue Yanchao asked, "Director Ji, would you like some more soy milk?"

"Are you southerners used to eating?" Ji Zizheng glanced at him.

Xue Yanchao said: "Isn't this taking care of your old Beijing?"

"Thank you, I'm really not old Beijing," Ji Zizheng said, "I'm not even a little Beijing."

Xue Yanchao laughed: "In the eyes of us southerners, anyone who is an upper class in the hutong can be dragged into the old Beijing crowd."

"The bean juice is not bad for today's sip. Let's get down to business first," Ji Zizheng said. "I've decided on your role first, but your poor acting skills need to be trained. I've already contacted Chang'an. Hurry up and take an acting class for me, don’t force anything else, you need to practice your basic skills anyway. Hey, how can you be so poor in your line skills? Parrots that haven’t cut their tongues can speak better than you, just you This articulation can still pass the second-level Putonghua, you must have encountered a deaf computer when you took the test..."

Ever since Xue Yanchao heard the words "I'll decide on your role first", his brain began to empty, and he was completely immersed in the joy of "I'm going to act in a movie". Later, Ji Zizheng scolded him for his poor acting skills. He didn't listen to Luokung's words.

Ji Zizheng raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead, Xue Yanchao came back to his senses and laughed dryly: "Okay, okay, I know Director Ji."

"You know what a fart," Ji Zizheng said, "Although you don't have many roles and the characters are bad, you acted in my movie. If the audience plays because of your bad acting skills, which hinders me from making money, you will be killed immediately." Chop it up and put it in the moat, understand?"

Xue Yanchao nodded again and again, expressing that he must train hard.

Ji Zizheng asked him again: "Have you ever had epilepsy?"

"I had benign epilepsy when I was a child," Xue Yanchao quickly explained, "I've recovered from it a long time ago, and I have never had a recurrence. I will definitely not cause trouble for the crew. Really, I pass the physical examination every time, and I am very healthy."

"It's not your fault," Ji Zizheng said, "I can understand the brain damage caused by the remaining physiological problems."

Xue Yanchao: "..."

"Also, why didn't you accept the money that was transferred to you before?" Ji Zizheng looked at him, "Why do you transfer it back, cry every day and pay the bank a handling fee?"

Xue Yanchao was stunned: "Don't I charge a thousand?"

Then he looked at Ji Zizheng's expression, and he really looked like a young master who said "one thousand is not money".

Xue Yanchao just wanted to growl: Why is one thousand not considered money?Although I cry poor, but I don't have such a big face to grab your money directly, okay?Mental damage fee plus work delay fee plus hush money, more than 1000 yuan is reasonable, and I can't earn 1000 yuan a day.If it weren't for your pitiful look of being dead and no one caring, don't you fucking dump my card, dumping my suite would not hurt you, okay?Please don't insult my noble kindness with stinking money. I might think about the courtyard house within the second ring road, thank you.

Although Ji Zizheng had no expression on his face, his inner OS was so loud that Xue Yanchao wanted to read it aloud emotionally: "Hehe, you are scheming, do you think you can gain a lot of favor by pretending that you are not greedy for money? ? Your third grandfather got tired of playing hard to get 800 years ago, and those goblins who don't want Bilian have already sunk their corpses in the moat, so don't think about having the opportunity to be a demon in front of your third grandfather."

"I'll pay according to the process." It means you don't forget it, I can't chase you to give you money, I'm so happy to save this money.

Ji Zizheng took his bag and left: "You go to Chang'an to sign the contract tomorrow, and you can go to Su Ting about the acting class, and Su Ting will arrange it for you."

Ji Zizheng, who didn't have a driver's license, could only temporarily let his assistant Sun come in to pick him up. As soon as the car arrived, he opened the rear door and was about to get in when he suddenly saw a flash of light on the rearview mirror. sneak shot.

Sun Jin obviously saw it too, and joked, "Boss, you are so hot, are there any paparazzi to capture every meal?"

"I'm really puzzled," Ji Zizheng snorted, and slammed the car door shut, "The two elders are eating, what's there to take pictures of?"

Sun Jin gave him a "yoooo, don't pretend" look, and Ji Zizheng stared back at him, so he obediently concentrated on driving.

It took Ji Zizheng a long time to dial Su Ting's number: "Su Ting, are you free to arrange a baby for me?"

Su Ting didn't know what was going on there, the environment was very noisy, it seemed that someone was singing, and I could vaguely hear various uncivilized voices of men and women, Ji Zizheng's head was full of black lines: "What are you doing? Don't say it Are you going to have sex with Deng Yuanze, and it will be over in a few days without getting tired of it?"

Su Ting's voice was a little hoarse, full of satisfaction: "I came out with Deng Yuanze, and I'm meeting with investors and producers. They insist on playing this."

"Sister, can you be more reliable?" Ji Zizheng really convinced him, "It's fine if you like to fool around, but you dare to bring Deng Yuanze to this muddy water, hurry up and prepare your resignation letter."

"Hey, I'm in charge of public relations and you're in charge of public relations. Why are you so careless?" Su Ting laughed, "I know it well. But you, in such a hurry, still call me at night to get involved?"

Ji Zizheng said, "I'm just asking you, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Su Ting said something that Ji Zizheng didn't hear clearly, but could only hear various uncivilized voices getting louder and louder, which made Ji Zizheng want to hang up the phone.

"Understood," Su Ting said lazily, "Why don't you get someone to join the company?"

He was arguing with the AV and GV, and Ji Zizheng heard it vaguely, so he said it again: "Yes, let him come to the company to take acting lessons, and give him a good training."

"Hey, yes, baby, just lick there," Su Ting was enjoying, and the brain information system automatically grabbed the keyword "enter the company", and replied casually, "Okay, okay, I got it, it's just for people to join the company, right? You send me the information, and it will be done for you tomorrow."

"Can you get up tomorrow?" Ji Zizheng sneered and hung up the phone.

Facts have proved that a goblin like Su Ting doesn't have the problem of not being able to get up the next day. He didn't have a 'fight' all night. He obviously sucked people's yang energy all night, and the next day his skin was smooth and his face was full of spring. After going to the company, Ou Shuang caught everyone with big eyes and fired.

Xue Yanchao was also shocked by this handsome long-haired guy who had a relationship with both sides. The hormonal aura that hit his face really made single dogs unable to look directly at him, so they had to look down at the contract with tears in their eyes.

After watching it, he was stunned. Why is there a contract behind the film contract?

"Boss Su," Xue Yanchao showed him the artist contract signed by Chang'an Film and Television Media Company, "This...is this?"

"Ji Zizheng's meaning," Su Ting smiled meaningfully, "Tsk, you called me yesterday to ask me to get you into the company."

Xue Yanchao: "?!"

Xue Yanchao was even more confused. The boss used his connections to stuff me, a little transparent [-]-line, into his own company.

Chang'an Film and Television Media Company is a long-established leading enterprise in the domestic entertainment industry. It was originally funded and controlled by Chang'an TV Station. It has produced quite a few high-quality movies and TV series. There is no shortage of big-name stars, most of whom are well-known and well-known actors like Deng Yuanze. Whether it is the existing resources, strength or development potential, they have all left behind Xue Yanchao's old pheasant club, Eight Hundred Streets.

After returning to China, Ji Zizheng did not follow his father's wishes to stay in the Jiangling Film and Television Production Company funded and established by Jiangling Industrial Group, but chose to go to Chang'an because of his old friend with Nie Bohui, the boss of Chang'an.At that time, several directors of Chang'an sold some of their shares in order to introduce investment, and they were all acquired by Ji Zizheng later, so in fact, Ji Zizheng's shareholding was no less than that of Chang'an's founding team.

Xue Yanchao hurriedly signed the terms after seeing the terms clearly, feeling that he was one step closer to rebirth.
