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

Chapter 80 [It is impossible to get up at five o'clock to exercise, but I can get up at three o'clock when I wander around at four o'clock]

The troubles of Light Media Media did not affect the filming of "Curse". In fact, even if they stopped funding for Curse, Lu Zhengyi is fully capable of paying for the remaining filming expenses.

Because the box office money for "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" has already come down.

Lu Zhengyi got enough returns with his small and big investment.

"This is the shooting location prepared by the village for you."

In front of an old house that looked quite old, an old man in a dark red Chinese-style robe was speaking ordinary Mandarin, explaining the situation of the house to Lu Zhengyi and the others.

"This house is a relatively affordable place in our village."

"In the past few years, there have been more and more tourists near Taicheng. I heard that many villages have become richer."

"The young people in our village came back after earning money, so they wanted to try it in the village. They built farmhouses, built mountain roads in the surrounding mountains, and renovated some historic buildings like this old house."

"However, because the village is too remote, there are few people here who understand publicity, so tourists don't come at all."

"Fortunately, the city leaders cared about it, and given such an opportunity, our village will follow."

As he spoke, he unlocked the iron lock on the wooden door, "I know you guys are coming to film, so I locked it in advance, and no one will disturb you when the time comes."

"One more thing. Although there are no valuables in this old house, you should be careful when you are filming. After all, the house itself is also a cultural relic."

Xiaxi Village is a relatively remote small village around Taicheng.

Although it is not in the mountains, but economically, it is still relatively poor.

There are not many young men in this village, and most of them have gone out to work.

All that remains are children and women.

Even the school in the village has only one elementary school and junior high school, both of which are public.

And the next filming location of the "Curse" crew is this village.

But the main one is an old house in the village—the Chen family's hometown.

The surname Chen is a common surname in the folk village.

Three-quarters of the village's population are basically surnamed Chen, and they are more or less related by blood.

The Chen family old house is an ancient house with a history of nearly 200 years.

"understandable."

Lu Zhengyi nodded with a smile, and stretched out his hand to take the key of the old house from the village chief of Xiaxi Village, "I'm sorry, village chief."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Seeing that Lu Zhengyi was about to take the key from his hand, the old man suddenly held his hand instead, holding his big hand tightly with two skinny palms, and said solemnly, "If you can really start the tourism industry here, the whole village will thank you."

"Director Lu, we are the ones who trouble you."

"From a long distance, he rushed over to save our village."

Lu Zhengyi felt a little helpless, "It's too heavy, old man."

"The word 'save' is too heavy."

"I just have such a plan, everyone can be regarded as...mutually beneficial."

He did not take this responsibility.

After all, he is somewhat sure whether the film will be successful or not.

But whether this can be used to promote the village through the film, he really can't guarantee.

"...In short, sorry for your inconvenience."

The old village chief shook hands for a while, but couldn't say anything good.

He has no education, the village chief is all elected by the people in the village.

Lu Zhengyi nodded silently, and withdrew his hand from his hand.

Then, he signaled to the crew behind with his eyes that it was time to enter the house.

A group of people bustlingly moved props and photography equipment into the house.

"Is this the next filming location?"

"Big production, my God."

"Director Zhang, is our crew finally rich?"

In front of the crew of "Curse", it is an extremely spacious and retro old house.

The mottled traces on the wall made the house look a little damp, but let everyone clearly know the history of this old house.

And the veranda that can't be seen at a glance is always telling everyone what the status of the former owner of this house is.

It can be seen that although in modern times.

The Chen family in Xiaxi Village is a small and remote family far away from the city.

But in ancient times, this Chen family must have been wealthy, and it may have to be a class of aristocrats and gentry.

"Director Lu, it will cost a lot of money to rent this house as a shooting location, right?"

As an assistant director, Zhang Yu has always ignored these things.

Because he knew very well that Lu Zhengyi could handle everything needed for filming.

But this time, he couldn't help but ask aloud.

"free."

Lu Zhengyi glanced at him and replied casually.

"free?!"

Zhang Yu replied in disbelief.

"Yes, it's free."

Lu Zhengyi repeated again, "Not only is the venue free, but if we need some people in the village to cooperate in acting, it is also free."

"so good?"

Their conversation did not lower their voices.

Beside, others heard it too.

If such a big house were placed in Taicheng, the rent of the site alone would cost hundreds of thousands.

"Yes, it's all free."

Lu Zhengyi continued to reply, "But..."

Then, the turning point came, "The village hopes that we can afford the cost of the wandering god ceremony."

"After all, when the time comes to expand the scale of activities, the village will definitely not be able to afford the expenses."

"Also, by the way, donate some money, do some good deeds, and help renovate the school and the mountain road, which is 400 million."

He said the last sentence very quickly.

But the others could still hear clearly.

"How many?!"

Zhang Yu shouted again, "400 million?!"

"Isn't this... a robbery?"

"Others are a big company, and those with a big family and business will only donate 200 million. We, a broken crew, donate 400 million directly!"

At this price, they added up all the expenses for the previous month of filming, and it was almost this amount if doubled.

"Do something good, understand and understand."

Lu Zhengyi was quite open-minded, "Besides, we made this kind of film, and we shot it in a place with a strong folk atmosphere."

"I rented that old building in Taicheng before, didn't I spend a lot of money to get the landlord to agree to it?"

"With the 400 million spent, no matter how much we do in this village, as long as we use the banner of 'tourism promotion', they will be willing to believe that we are doing good things and will not stop us."

Not only Taicheng, Fucheng, Chaocheng...

There is a saying in the south of the Tang Dynasty to describe these cities with strong folk customs—"It is impossible to get up at five o'clock in the morning to exercise, but if it is four o'clock in the morning when you want to wander, then I can get up at three o'clock in the morning to take a bath and change clothes, and prepare to go out and burn incense." '

From this point, it can be reflected that people in these areas still pay more attention to traditional culture.

In this case, it was obviously not an easy choice for Lu Zhengyi and his crew to step in and shoot a horror film.

Even if it was filmed secretly, the locals will know about it when the movie is released.

At that time, once the dissatisfaction of the local people is aroused, it is easy to cause the film to be taken off the shelves directly.

Therefore, Lu Zhengyi needs to coordinate everything well to achieve a win-win situation as much as possible.

400 million, if the film can be filmed successfully and released, it is actually not too much.

And no matter how bad it is, it will be regarded as doing a good deed and accumulating blessings.
