I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 61 [Do I have a choice? 】

【Director Lu, tell me, should I tell the director about the plot. 】

[This drama is adapted from a novel. I have read that novel and it is not bad. 】

[But the plot of this drama is completely different from the content of the novel. The director said that this is to save money. 】

[Small-budget online dramas don’t have much money, I can understand that, but I feel that if the current script continues, this drama will definitely rot, and after it airs, I may still be scolded. 】

[However, I heard that in this industry, actors are very taboo and ask the director to change the play. 】

Yu Li expressed her inner confusion in the text of the message box.

Probably because of the first work, whether it is the director, actors, props, costumes, everyone treats the work very carefully.

In this case, there is no need for a fresh graduate to consider whether the plot is reasonable or not, and whether the setting is suitable.

But this second work is different.

Whether it's the performance of other actors in the same crew, or the director's casual attitude, even she herself has to be limited to the contract and use voice actors to replace the original sound.

All this made Yu Li feel overwhelmed.

Even, she found the "big head" of the first crew, looking for answers.

I should just watch this show rot.

Or, express your opinion.

[Although there is a saying, it is said that those who are obsessed with the authorities are those who are obsessed with bystanders. 】

[But there is another saying, which is to see through but not to reveal. 】

[There are actually quite a few bad movies in China, but those directors and actors couldn’t tell when they were filming whether the movie was bad or not? 】

Normally, Lu Zhengyi would not care about such things.

However, he found the main actor of "Curse" today, and he is in a good mood.

[From the director's point of view, I very much hope that other people in the crew can provide helpful opinions on the film. 】

[The premise is that these opinions must be reasonable. 】

[With sufficient funds, investors, contracts... all aspects are allowed, for example, if the crew only has 100 million funds, but someone proposes to go abroad for filming, this is definitely not appropriate. 】

[Also, I remember that most of the actors in your crew came from talent shows and have not received systematic acting teaching. 】

[In this case, their line skills may not support the use of original voices to participate in the performance. 】

[It's like when the old corpse in the mountain village just turned on the phone, Teacher Chang was adapting to you and Zhang Yuming. At this time, you need to adapt to them. 】

Lu Zhengyi simply edited a few messages and expressed his attitude tactfully.

In the same situation, whether it is Chang Zhengwei who has been a supporting role for many years, or Zhang Yuming who is about the same age as Yu Li, they will not feel this way.

Because they all came up slowly from the small crew.

From group performances without a single line, to secondary actors with one or two lines, and finally to supporting roles with no names and no surnames, and then later with names and surnames...

They have come all the way, what kind of crew has not seen it?

But Yu Li is different, this is her second time joining the group.

Or in other words, officially joined the group for the second time.

In school, she must have participated in some micro-movies, short films and the like.

But that experience is almost negligible.

【I understand. 】

It took a while for Yu Li to reply.

With four simple words, I don't know what she understood.

However, Lu Zhengyi didn't pursue it.

He said what he had to say.

If Yu Li really chooses to raise opinions and offend people, there's nothing she can do about it.

The formation of a play involves investors, producers, directors, screenwriters...

Investors, no doubt, only want to make money.

Most of them are not experts, and they seldom even watch movies and TV series.

As for the producers, they are usually the supervisors sent by the investors. From time to time, they will give directions to the crew from an outsider's perspective and reduce expenses in various ways.

As for the director and screenwriter, they must be experts.

But insiders are not necessarily willing to do things.

Some of them get paid, and some get box office commissions, but it's all too troublesome.

Instead of waiting for the box office of movies or the ratings of TV series, this kind of return depends on the results.

It's better to take a shortcut and take money from the investor's pocket.

Props, costumes, actors' remuneration...

There are many ways for an insider to fool a layman into paying, and there are even more ways to get kickbacks.

In this case, Yu Li's opinion fell into the pool, not to mention splashes, and there might not even be water marks, and it would only offend people for no reason.

There are very few cases like Lu Zhengyi who is both an investor and a producer, and also a director, and even passionate about the film industry.

"Aren't you afraid that the little girl went astray?"

Chu Renmei suddenly asked, "At the beginning, why didn't you persuade her not to accept this kind of drama."

When Lu Zhengyi sent the message, he didn't avoid her.

Naturally, she also saw the conversation between the two.

"Acquaintance, anyway, I gave her a good start."

Lu Zhengyi's attitude was very casual, "As for the road ahead, how to go is her own choice."

"Life has dreams, each is wonderful."

"There are very few things I can manage, just a circle around me."

He persuaded him at the time, so what can he do?

In the crew of "Curse", there is no suitable role for Yu Li.

You can't make people stop acting for a few months and wait for his next movie, right?

At that time, if the next one is not suitable, they will have no income for a year.

Chu Renmei stood beside Lu Zhengyi, silent for a while.

"what about me?"

She suddenly asked a very strange question, with a tentative tone.

Lu Zhengyi stopped looking at the computer, turned his head, and looked at her, "You? You also have a choice, life or death."

A sad smile appeared on Chu Renmei's face, "Is there any difference between these two choices?"

She is now by Lu Zhengyi's side every day, like a shadow.

What you want to do, you can't do.

Instead, they are often called to do things they don't want to do.

What is the difference between this kind of life and death?
Lu Zhengyi replied calmly: "Of course."

But he didn't explain the difference between the two.

Chu Renmei opened her mouth.

After a while, she regained her voice, "Why did you do this to me?"

"You can obviously ignore me."

"Just because I'm a ghost now, or because I did those evil things."

"Both." Lu Zhengyi replied, looking at her with calm eyes.

But this calmness made Chu Renmei a little terrified.

She took a few steps back, a little further away.

Obviously she is the ghost, but on the other hand, she is so afraid of a person.

Even, he didn't even dare to think of running away.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you what I need to do for this movie." Chu Renmei continued to ask, "Do I have a role in this new script?"

She has never dared to ask this question since the preparation of "Curse".

Because from the perspective of the script, it seems that there is no need for myself.

So...will Lu Zhengyi still need him who has lost his use value?

After reaching the agreement with himself, that is, after transferring the proceeds from "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" to Xiao Le, will he still keep himself?
