Chapter 215 You Shot Well, Be Confident

Lin Ying was a little frightened and immediately nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't understand these things, he would definitely follow Lu Xuan's instructions since Lu Xuan had said so.

He wasn't stupid and naturally knew what he should do.

So he immediately began looking for people to arrange these matters.

For safety's sake, he simply contacted the Taoist priest who had taught him many Maoshan techniques before. Through his introduction, he should be able to find a professional feng shui master.

Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if he encountered a con artist?

"You don't need to be so afraid. As long as you properly worship according to the rules, nothing will happen."

"I know, but since you've reminded me, I definitely need to be extra careful."

Lin Ying remembered everything Lu Xuan said, word for word.

If he couldn't even do this, he would really be too useless.

"Before filming starts, after choosing a location, you must first burn incense to thank the gods."

"The camera must also be covered with red cloth. Only after the main cast and crew members have offered incense and paid their respects to the gods can the red cloth be lifted from the machine and the start of filming announced."

"In addition, there are also requirements for the altar and the enshrined gods. Incense burners must be placed on both sides, and there must also be a roasted suckling pig and fresh fruit as offerings."

Lu Xuan explained everything to Lin Ying one by one.

He remembered everything and thought that he definitely had to do everything properly, otherwise it would be terrible if something went wrong during the filming of this movie!

After Lin Ying listened to Lu Xuan clearly explain all the rules, he officially started looking for someone to choose the time and location.

He found a good day.

And officially held the ceremony.

Even Lu Xuan participated in the incense offering.

The weather was also particularly good that day, as if it was foreshadowing that this filming would be very smooth.

The red cloth on the camera was lifted, and the filming officially started.

Lu Xuan personally took over, leading Lin Ying to shoot the first scene.

This first scene was to shoot the moment he saw the zombie.

Because it required immediately entering a state of terror, many actors couldn't get into character.

But Lin Ying was different. The moment he heard Lu Xuan say "action," he directly entered the role.

In that instant, he was no longer Lin Ying, but Uncle Nine himself.

Lu Xuan was very satisfied when he saw this and praised, "You performed very well. I don't know what you were worried about. I think no one is more suitable for this role than you. Take a look at your performance yourself. I believe you will also be very satisfied."

Lin Ying also came over and saw his performance with his own eyes. He didn't expect it to be much better than he had imagined.

He said modestly, "It's all thanks to your guidance."

"Next, you don't need to worry about anything. This movie will be your responsibility. You have your own insights, and you also know so many Maoshan Taoists, so there's nothing to be afraid of, right? If there's anything you don't understand, the professional advice they can provide won't be less than what I give."

Lu Xuan had actually thought about it many times when he said this.

He couldn't personally handle every movie himself.

He always had to let go.

And Lin Ying did have the strength.

Lu Xuan wasn't really letting go, but was personally watching and guiding Lin Ying to shoot a few scenes, confirming that he really had no problems before he truly left.

He left the *Mr. Vampire* crew with Su Yao.

On the way back, Su Yao said excitedly, "I find the movie *Mr. Vampire* so interesting! But why isn't yours a ghost? I just searched for 'zombie,' but what came up were all zombies.

It's completely different from the zombies you're talking about."

"Zombies exist in our country's ancient mythology. Moreover, in folklore, zombies refer to ghosts and monsters that corpses become after humans die due to excessive yin energy."

"Their bodies are stiff and they can only move by jumping. And in this legend, they usually look like Qing Dynasty soldiers or officials, with green faces and fangs, and pale skin. Although their bodies are still moving, you will still find them very scary."

After hearing what Lu Xuan said, Su Yao said "Oh" meaningfully, "No wonder I saw a few people wearing Qing Dynasty clothes in the crew just now, and their faces were painted like that. But in reality, it doesn't feel very scary."

"Hearing your description, I actually feel scared."

Su Yao thought that it might not necessarily scare her at this time.

Combining the appearance of those people in the crew with Lu Xuan's description, a very specific image of a zombie instantly formed in her mind.

"I think your horror movie is really different from the others. I feel that this setting is also quite exciting. I felt that they looked quite strange in the crew just now. I guess it will be even more scary in the movie with special effects!"

Su Yao didn't dare to think, she didn't dare to continue thinking deeply at all.

It felt like it would be very frightening.

"You don't need to think so much. These originally exist in legends, and they may not necessarily be real. But this is our true local horror."

"I know."

Su Yao said with some doubt, "Actually, this movie is really magical. Although I feel scared, I still want to know more about this movie. But other horror movies, I just feel like they scared me."

That was the difference.

Along the way, Lu Xuan told Su Yao a lot about zombies.

Even when she got home, she still didn't stop.

Helpless, Lu Xuan could only kiss her directly, using his skills to shut Su Yao's mouth.

Half a month later.

The post-production of *Brotherhood of Blades 2* was completed.

They were also preparing for the release.

But at this time, the Berlin Film Festival was about to officially open.

Lu Xuan and the others were invited, so naturally they had to attend.

They took a plane to the local area a day in advance.

"Lu Xuan, let me introduce you. This is Director Stodmore. His films *Dawn* and *Robot 12* are both well-received masterpieces."

After Su Yao saw Director Stodmore, she took the initiative to introduce him to Lu Xuan.

"You are Lu Xuan? The talented director, musician, and screenwriter from the East!"

Director Stodmore knew a little about Lu Xuan.

This year, for the first time, a wuxia film from the East was nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, and even had awards.

Many directors wanted to know what kind of person this excellent director was.

But they found that he was incredibly young, only in his early twenties.

But his strength was limitless.

It seemed like he knew everything. Even the songs he wrote, they had listened to them, and even found Chinese-speaking students to help translate them into their languages.
