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

Chapter 67 [Is it necessary]

in the back seat,
Chu Renmei, who hid her figure and was always listening to the conversation between the two people in front of her, widened her eyes and stared at Lu Zhengyi in the driver's seat.

After a while, she turned her attention to Zhang Xueming in the passenger seat.

At this moment, this woman who was so beautiful that Chu Renmei was a little jealous, and even wanted to cut that snow-white cheek with her sharp nails, was full of disbelief.

It seemed that it was difficult for this woman to accept that the director of the film "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was not Lu Zhengyi.

However, Chu Renmei's face gradually showed admiration.

As the person concerned, Lu Zhengyi calmly fiddled with the steering wheel and drove the car towards the set.

Regarding the fact that the actual director of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is not myself, besides some members of the crew, there are also Lu Yiyong and Zhang Changmou who know about it.

One of them is his father, and the other is his uncle who watched him grow up.

The two of them knew their professional abilities very well.

Lu Zhengyi didn't even need to explain, they could understand.

Among them, Lu Yiyong expressed his regret for Zhang Yu.

After all, he is indeed very capable, but he has been unknown for so many years.

And Zhang Changmou wrote down the name.

Now, there is another insider about this matter, Zhang Xueming.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Zhang Xueming frowned tightly, and it took a while to calm down, "...So, the actual director of the old corpse in the mountain village is actually the deputy director Zhang Yu?"

She thinks that what she admires most about Lu Zhengyi lies in his directing ability.

Moreover, she has always regretted that Lu Zhengyi specialized in horror films. If he is willing to try to direct other types of films, he can definitely become a famous director of a generation.

But now, is this appreciation of mine going to disappear?
"Yes, you should know about my grades in school."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually while driving, "The storyboarding, composition, and rhythm of the old corpse in the mountain village are not something that I, a directing student who just graduated, can do."

"The horror film market is not good because it is very difficult to shoot, and this requires a high level of director's directing ability."

"So for now, I'm still learning."

He frankly explained that his professional ability is not enough to direct a horror film.

Listening to this explanation, Zhang Xueming was silent for a while.

"so……"

The frown on her face slowly smoothed, and her expression became strange, "Why are you confessing this to me now?"

Lu Zhengyi didn't even think about it, and replied:
"That's basic courtesy, isn't it?"

"In addition to "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", "Curse" is the next work we will collaborate on."

"Compared to before, we are strangers in the cooperative relationship. Now, both you and I have the idea of ​​​​carrying out this cooperative relationship. We can have a third, fourth...more film cooperation."

Having said that, he paused, "I think this is also the reason why you are willing to come to the opening ceremony."

"You have seen an opportunity for investment from our crew. No one dares to eat the cake of Tang Kingdom horror movies yet, but our crew has a chance."

"And before further cooperation, I need to let you understand the true situation of our crew, so as to avoid irreparable cracks in the future cooperation relationship. That is not the situation I want to see."

Compared to that time, the people of Light and Shadow Media discovered the truth about their directing ability.

Lu Zhengyi felt that he might as well confess first.

Zhang Xueming listened silently.

After a while, she continued, "I don't mean..."

She didn't want to ask about cooperation.

It was Lu Zhengyi's personal problem.

Doesn't he feel ashamed?
Admitting your own failures in front of others, admitting your 'cheating' behavior.

How thick-skinned does this have to be to talk about these issues with such a normal face?
Zhang Xueming thought that he couldn't do it.

Perhaps, in front of a stranger who doesn't know herself at all, she will have a little courage to confess her mistakes.

But she can't do it when she knows herself and has a certain friendship with each other.

This is like a poor boy going to work in the city.

One day, he dressed up and returned home in fine clothes.

For such a successful person, every household in the village came to the door to propose marriage, wanting to marry their daughter to him.

As a result, he publicly admitted that the money he earned was actually obtained by defrauding others.

How much courage does it take?

"never mind."

In the end, Zhang Xueming didn't ask the question, but said instead:
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Stealing the fruits of other people's labor."

"If this matter is exposed, your style and reputation will fall directly to the bottom."

"At that time, the title of 'thief' will follow you for the rest of your life."

As she said that, she hesitated, "If such a situation really happens, our Guangying Media may immediately suspend all cooperation."

"Of course, for the sake of our happy cooperation, I can decide not to let the company sue you."

'Thief', 'plagiarism', 'plagiarism'...

In this line of work, once he was crowned with these titles, not to mention Lu Zhengyi's personal problems, even his father would have to be implicated.

For such a serious warning, Lu Zhengyi didn't even shake his hand holding the steering wheel.

"Don't worry, I accepted the script of this movie."

Lu Zhengyi explained softly, "I also pulled the crew together."

"When the actors auditioned, I participated; during the actual filming, I also followed the whole process; props, costumes, venues... I didn't miss almost all the preparations."

"Except for Deputy Director Zhang himself and... Teacher Chang Zhengwei, other people can't tell who the actual director of this movie is."

"And the two of them will definitely not speak out, because there is no actual evidence."

"This kind of thing is very difficult to prove."

But when he explained it like this, Zhang Xueming was even more confused.

Preparations, auditions, filming... Since you followed the whole process, isn't this considered a director?
When she heard what Lu Zhengyi said just now, she thought that the actual filming was all done by Zhang Yu, and he just added a name directly in the director column at the end.

"you……"

Zhang Xueming didn't know how to proceed with the conversation, she was a little... at a loss.

"You don't really need to tell me this at all."

After a long time, she said helplessly, "Anyway, as I said before, as an investor, I will not participate in the actual filming."

"So if you don't tell me, I will never know."

"And... in your situation, there is really no need to feel that you are not the director. Many things you do are the responsibility of the director."

Just now, she was really scared.

This kind of nasty things like academic plagiarism and project signature replacement actually happened to me, and it has already been stained.

Fortunately, things are not as bad as I imagined.

Lu Zhengyi's character...is very special.

Zhang Xueming now only thinks that the guy next to him is very strange.

Others want to show more in front of themselves and try to make a good impression.

And him?There is a sense of déjà vu that I have to lose face in front of myself.

In the driving seat, Lu Zhengyi slowed down the speed of the car and replied, "It is necessary."

As for the deeper reasons, he did not explain.

Because the car has already arrived at the set.
