B-level director

Chapter 7 The Law of Terror

The set lights shone fiercely on the face.With his eyes and face closed all day long, he could still feel the strong light penetrating in, as if there was a radiant heaven above his head.

He has seen many dead bodies.For real dead people, there are all kinds of distorted ways of death, missing parts, those in the autopsy room...they no longer feel the horror after seeing too many, what makes him tremble is the feeling of touching the corpse.Cold, inflexible, literally a "thing."

He imagined himself to be a dead body.It was cold and there was light on his head, but even coldness and light had nothing to do with him anymore.He has become a "thing", no longer emotionless, neither sinking nor soaring upward.There is no heaven, no hell.

He thought, it is the most merciful arrangement to turn off the lights when people die.How terrible would it be if the corpse had a mind like him?The deadly silence and loneliness are connected with many moments deep in his memory...

At this moment, he felt someone lightly touch his arm.He grabbed the man almost reflexively, anxiously and eagerly, he held the hand firmly, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up.

Brother Qi laughed beside him: "Hey, it's a fraud."

Only then did Cheng Tianlu come to his senses.He let out a breath, "Finished?"

Brother Qi didn't answer, but just looked at Cheng Tianlu's face: "Why do you have such an expression, do you miss your wife or your mother?"

Cheng Tianlu was stunned, he didn't know how Brother Qi could see his expression from the thick paste. "I fell asleep. Did the fuck finish filming?"

Qi Geer was grabbed by him with one hand, and the other hand supported his back by the way, helping him stand up. "Thank you buddy, it's over."

Cheng Tianlu felt his whole body was cold and stiff, only Brother Qi's palm was warm, and subconsciously he was reluctant to let go.Brother Qi looked at him with his eyes behind the toad mirror: "You look pretty good now, you don't prefer death to submission, you are a bit human."

Cheng Tianlu felt that the paste had eroded into his skin, it was so dry and uncomfortable, Brother Qi even stabbed him with words, who is inhuman?

"Hey, I don't wear clothes to replace the male actor, my hair and height are different." Cheng Tianlu let go of Brother Qi's hand, and his mind can function normally.

"It's okay, the audience doesn't pay attention to these, just cut it off if it's fake."

"Audiences are blind."

"The audience is not blind, but watching a horror movie is not like looking at a painting. It is enough to have a feature that catches the eye. It is too detailed and too real, but uncomfortable."

Brother Qi said that Cheng Tianlu's article "doesn't understand", and now Cheng Tianlu finally has the opportunity to fight back: "I don't understand."

Brother Qi became interested, and impatiently taught Cheng Tianlu: "You don't need to shoot everything in a horror movie. No matter how detailed the shooting is, it's not as scary as a person's own imagination. It's better to see than not to see."

I have heard this kind of truth many times, but Brother Qi's blood plasma tablets are completely opposite, and it can't be more straightforward.Cheng Tianlu was disdainful: "The brains are all sprayed out, and I can't see it yet."

"Look over the wall."

The wall was riddled with holes, but it still stood firm.The explosives blasted large and small holes in the wall.Cheng Tianlu wakes up in an instant, the victim is missing from the camera.The actor who was supposed to stand there and get shot is still eating ice cream.Instead of directly filming the actor being killed, the camera moves behind the wall, so the shot shows the wall being shot through and the bloody organ squirting from the hole.He omitted the frontal shot of the actor being shot. The tragic death of that person can only be imagined in his mind; and people's imagination is usually very cheap, the more invisible the easier it is to substitute.

Therefore, the use of explosives and organs is effective. There must be a sense of speed, a sense of impact and a sharp sound, in order to remind the imagination of the tragedy of being stabbed into rags.Just thinking about it all day makes Lu Nausea sick.There is a specialization in the art industry, and Brother Qi is doing this, so he really has his way.

"What are the rules of horror movies? Let's hear from Teacher Qi?" He had an occupational disease, and his curiosity was aroused by Brother Qi.

Qi Geer took him to another scene.It was a room, the walls were painted bright orange and lake green, the light was dim, and there were two mirrors on the wall.A bed, two bedside tables and a bedside lamp, and nothing else.

Brother Qi wiped the mirror with a cloth, "Things that are too strange are not too scary. What are scary are things that can be seen normally. Things that are familiar, but there is something wrong with them. Look at the bedside lamp .”

The bedside lamp spoke: "Director, when will it be turned on, I want to pee."

Cheng Tianlu turned his head and saw that the lampshade of the bedside lamp had been removed, and there was a green human head inside.He screamed in fright, stood up suddenly, and almost fell to the ground. "This is not a strange thing! Who has a headlamp in their house!!"

Brother Qi laughed loudly, hugging Cheng Tianlu's shoulders, "Editor, what you think is too high-level, you don't need to go round and round about scary things, just point it out."

"I let you finish all the nonsense that people say, anyway, you have a reason."

"What's the point of filming? If you want to hear, I'll make up a few more?"

Cheng Tianlu felt that Brother Qi was entertaining him, the so-called horror rule, after all, was to save money. "All the institutions here are real, without post-production special effects, it's too dangerous."

"It's not dangerous. I have professionals to help me design it, and nothing will happen. Take you to the laboratory to see?"

"Can I not go?" Cheng Tianlu became vigilant.

"Okay, send the bill for the tape recorder to your newspaper office."

Cheng Tianlu had to surrender again. "Let me wipe this spot on my face first, it's too uncomfortable."

Brother Qi asked his assistant to bring alcohol and wiped his face with his own hands.For the first time, Cheng Tianlu looked at Brother Qi up close.Previously, his impression of Brother Qi was woolen hat and toad mirror, and he generally thought he was quite handsome, but he has good eyebrows and good looks, why does he always wear sunglasses?Could it be that he is cross-eyed?

Thinking of this, he stared at the toad mirror, wanting to see what was unusual inside.Through the lens, the outline of the eyes can be seen vaguely, which feels quite normal, but is there something wrong?

Things that are very familiar, but feel wrong again... Cheng Tianlu thought of this "law of terror", and couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.He took the alcohol-stained tissue: "I'll do it myself, thank you."

While wiping his face, he followed Ge Geer into another room.As soon as he entered, Cheng Tianlu let out a soft "Oh".It was a well-equipped science laboratory.The man in blue who he saw before planting the bomb was busy working inside.

The chief editor couldn't help being curious: "Are all your instruments of torture made here?"

Brother Qi: "This is Brother He, he can make anything."

There is no normal person here, Tianlu complained silently in his heart.He has long been immune to weird people, and seeing Brother Na He wearing goggles, he is probably doing some kind of murderous trick.Before long, he smelled concentrated nitric acid.

Alarm bells were ringing in his head. "Is that mercury?"

Brother He didn't even look at him: "Mercury plus concentrated nitric acid, absolute ethanol."

Cheng Tianlu immediately understood the nonsensical words.He had interviewed the mines and knew that some small private mines would use mercury fulminate to explode stones, which was quite powerful.These are exactly the chemicals that make mercury fulminate.

"Are you going to blow up the whole building?" Cheng Tianlu was about to go berserk, why did the set do such a dangerous thing?

Brother Qi said in his usual unhurried tone: "I saw a TV show that played like this, so I asked Master He to do it casually to see, it may not be useful. By the way, Ling Lingjiu said that your building is about to be demolished." , anyway, you are moving away, someday let me try this?"

Cheng Tianlu wanted to report them immediately, but after thinking about it, it was more important to escape to save his life.He saw that Brother Qi was very interested in all kinds of dangerous items in the laboratory, and he immediately understood that the laws of terror, sense of presence, and saving money are all bullshit. This is Brother Qi's playground. He can't harm the world in reality. Just make up a story to vent your desire for violence!

He wiped off the last bit of batter with a paper towel, and decided not to go near Planet 276 in the future.Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Brother Qi say again: "Hey, senior brother, what is this?"

Brother He seemed unable to speak a complete sentence, so he replied briefly: "Magnesium, fireworks, very bright."

Cheng Tianlu is particularly easy to be aroused by curiosity. Hearing this sentence, he thought, isn't this just a flare?So he stopped, wanting to see what kind of weapon Frankenstein came up with first.

Brother He used a plastic curtain to separate the experimental equipment, then picked up a tube and sprayed it casually in the distance.The sky was suddenly bright, and magnesium burned in the air like the sun.

Cheng Tianlu squinted his eyes, the magnesium burning released high temperature, and the temperature in half of the laboratory rose sharply.But he felt that his body was getting hotter, and he was stunned for a moment, only to find that Qi Ge'er hugged him, and the little bird slipped into his arms.

Cheng Tianlu froze: "What the hell are you doing?"

"Dizziness, let me lie down."

"Ah?" Why did Brother Qi dare to borrow anything? !The floor is borrowed to explode, and the chest is borrowed to lie down?

Brother Qi pulled down his woolen cap to cover his glasses, and then stood up straight like a normal person.

Seeing Brother Qi's appearance, Cheng Tianlu felt bad and wanted to laugh.He finally no longer doubted that this person was absolutely crazy.

"Big director, I'm leaving first. You must not come near our newspaper office in the future. I will post your photo on every telephone pole. If I see you, I will kill you."

Brother Qi smiled and lifted his woolen cap, "I won't go to your place, I beg you for nothing."

Cheng Tianlu was taken aback for a moment, remembering his intention to come here.Brother Qi looked out of tune, but he was very smart. He knew that if Cheng Tianlu was not looking for him to do something, how could he obediently let him manipulate him?

Cheng Tianlu was a little embarrassed, he should have known better not to agree to Wei Yuan.Originally, it was not a difficult thing to introduce someone, but the situation of the actress was really hard to tell.

He thought about his words, and was about to speak, but he felt warm in his hands.This time it was definitely not Brother Qi who hugged him, could it be...

He looked down and saw that his hand was blazing with flames.The paper towel was covered with medicinal alcohol, and then covered with high-temperature magnesium powder, which burned instantly.
