Chapter 214 Guiding Lin Ying, You Wouldn't Want Anything to Happen, Would You?

Lin Ying looked at Lu Xuan with gratitude, secretly pleased. Being guided by Lu Xuan felt truly wonderful.

"Actually, the advantage of filming it first is that anyone who films the same subject matter in the future will be imitating this one."

"Everyone will assume that we are the pioneers of this genre."

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, a weight lifted from Lin Ying's heart.

They were filming it for the first time, so there was no comparison.

What the audience would see was their first attempt. As long as it wasn't too bad, the audience would consider them the originators of the genre.

Even if others filmed it better in the future, they would still be followers.

"I was worried before, but now I think I should film it well. Since I'm going to be the first to film this subject matter, I must dare to be a pioneer. Even if people want to imitate it later, it must be worth imitating."

If what he filmed was just a tasteless effort, it would be meaningless.

"Look here, in this part, Master Ren's father needs to be exhumed and reburied after twenty years, so he finds Master Jiu, a Maoshan master."

"Yes."

Lin Ying thought the suspense in this part was well-done.

Because domestically, this aspect isn't very detailed.

If he hadn't followed masters to learn, he probably wouldn't know so much.

"This part is the highlight of your appearance. Don't act like you're some amazing person. Instead, you can be a bit of a contrast. First, appear to be an ordinary person living in seclusion, and then show your strength."

"Also, in this place, the corpse of Old Master Ren is the key point. The props must be worked on carefully. If it's not scary enough, the movie will be ruined for the most part."

What's the point of a horror movie if it's not scary?

"But, doesn't he turn into a zombie?"

"What do zombies actually look like?"

Lin Ying had asked his masters, but they had only given him a rough description.

"The zombies here are set to be dressed in the style of the Qing Dynasty."

"But Old Master Ren..."

Lu Xuan explained to Lin Ying bit by bit, then pointed to this place and said, "The dragonfly skimming water formation must also be arranged correctly."

"Some professional Daoist disciples will probably watch it later, so don't make us look too stupid."

"Understood!"

Since they were going to film according to some Daoist techniques, they naturally had to show some real skills.

So that people could watch it and say with satisfaction that it was filmed well.

Horror can only fool those who don't understand, but professionalism can prevent a group of people who deliberately want to scrutinize it from finding any mistakes.

He had already thought about how to arrange it.

Lin Ying realized that it wasn't so easy to film this movie well.

But precisely because of this, good works could be created.

Lin Ying pointed to one place and asked, "Here, Qiusheng pretends to be a zombie to tease Wencai, which leads to the zombie's activity. I think these two actors need to be a little comedic, but also very good at acting."

Because he found that although this script was a thriller, it had some funny parts.

Combined in this way, it would make people feel relaxed.

Especially this place, where they were originally having a good time, but joy turns to sorrow.

This tone seemed even more interesting.

Unlike other horror movies.

The whole process is foreshadowing: I'm very scary, are you afraid?

From the surrounding environment to the music, everything is constantly promoting horror.

But *Mr. Vampire* is a combination of comedy and horror, making people unable to stop.

This is also why he couldn't refuse after seeing it.

"It's not difficult to find this actor, so let's see how to handle it then."

Su Yao, who was listening, exclaimed, "I suddenly want to watch you film it. It must be very interesting."

"The level of professionalism is so high, especially this Maoshan, I want to see it."

Su Yao didn't feel anything at first, but Maoshan in Lu Xuan's mouth was a particularly powerful place, and she yearned for it.

"Actually, Daoist sects basically don't like to promote these things, so most people don't know or understand it at all, which is normal."

"But I'm already so excited now that I've heard it, so I'm sure many people will be excited to watch it when the movie is released!"

"Are you trying to say that they'll be excited to go to Maoshan?"

Lu Xuan thought that Maoshan couldn't really show these strengths now.

"Some of the things in the movie have been exaggerated by me. Reality may not be so powerful."

After all, movies need artistic processing. Although many things in it are real, they still need to appear more powerful.

Su Yao thought that *Mr. Vampire* was completely different from traditional horror movies.

The zombies here are visible and tangible.

Ghosts in ghost movies only appear occasionally to scare people.

They are often accompanied by particularly terrifying and exciting music.

Coupled with the protagonist's screams and pain, the terrifying atmosphere is elevated to the extreme.

I really want to watch it.

Lu Xuan carefully explained it to Lin Ying here, and finally let him find some filming skills.

He suddenly remembered something and pointed to a group of people behind him and said, "By the way, those people are all my brothers from the martial arts troupe. I thought they couldn't find suitable work outside, and we just needed them here, so I brought them together."

"Okay."

Lu Xuan didn't mind those people, on the contrary, he welcomed them very much.

"You can call them here, not only are you helping me, but you are also helping yourself."

The contrast between actors who can fight and actors who can't fight is very obvious.

If they have a dance background, they may be able to fight in a decent manner, but if they have no experience at all, it will be a car accident scene.

Lu Xuan was looking forward to seeing Lin Ying's performance with his own eyes.

"Wait, you can't officially start filming yet."

"Why?"

Lin Ying picked up the camera and filmed everyone once according to his understanding.

He took it over for Lu Xuan to see, intending to officially start after confirming that there were no problems.

"Filming zombie movies and horror movies has rules. We have to first invite a Feng Shui master to survey a suitable place, choose a good day to start filming, and then on the day of filming, we also need to worship well."

"All staff, including actors, must be present to worship."

"What?" Lin Ying didn't expect there to be this rule.

"What will happen if I don't follow this rule?"

Lu Xuan thought for a while, "I don't want to scare you, just follow this rule anyway, you wouldn't want anything to happen, would you?"
