Horror Game: "… "

Don't expect a liar's face.

Lu Qingjia ignored this naive connotation, and then looked at the positioning of his role.

A professional liar, but it is different from the underachievers on the market.

Affectionate, well-dressed, and very deceptive. From the outside, he is a young man with a stable job and good economic conditions. At first glance, no one will associate him with a liar.

Warm-hearted, patient in character, and especially tolerant to the elderly and children, he is the type most liked by old men and women.

But in fact, what he does is approach the elderly, let go of their defenses, and then defraud their pensions. It can be said that he is the most deranged type of liar.

Seeing this, Horror Games couldn't help but shyly said: [Does this business look familiar to someone?]

Lu Qingjia smiled and said: "That can't be counted like that. The liars in the setting, the old people don't realize they've been cheated for a certain period of time after they take out the money. Often, the happiness of being cared for and hopeful can last for a long time. ."

"And the old ghost gave me money like cutting flesh, and suffered from both psychological and material torture from beginning to end. This is what I want to see."

"My essence is not to make money, to give people a sense of happiness - what benefits can I get even if it is a false and short-lived sense of happiness? Of course, it is more interesting to watch them cut their own thigh meat."

What kind of antipathy is this? Horror games increasingly feel that there is something wrong with their most promising seed players.

Thinking that this guy was lying with the guy with a weird brain circuit in Zhong Liyu, I suddenly felt that the pot and the lid were bad, but I didn't know which of the two pieces of shit was more poisonous.

Horror games quickly browsed through Lu Qingjia's biography, this guy was completely disguised in a peaceful and stable real environment.

If it weren't for the fact that he turned his face too fast in the game, and the murderous behavior was unequivocal, it would have believed that this was a well-bred, elegant and cunning noble boy.

Of course, apart from Lu Qingjia, other actors and actresses are equally wonderful.

A set of large apartments on the first floor of the apartment was sorted out and used as a place for the crew to release news in a unified manner.

A few players got the script, and they got together just in time for the discussion.

There are seven players in total this time, five men and two women. The five male players are all actors, and the two female players are one of the chores on the set, and the other is the assistant of the water snake waist female star.

"I'm a pervert." A slightly fat middle-aged player said helplessly after flipping through his own script.

"I'm a gambler." The player who said this was a little shrewd.

"I'm a drug addict pickpocket." This player is surprisingly thin, and looks like a sharp-nosed monkey.

"I, I am a perverted whore."

"Oh~~~~" The players looked at the last person.

The ticket player hurriedly waved his hand: "I suspect that the game discriminates against our appearance, who said it looks like it?"

There was an awkward silence in the air, and the two female players didn't need to participate in the performance.

When the director saw that everyone started to discuss the script, he came over happily: "Is the script okay? Although there are certain difficulties, don't be discouraged, I believe you."

"Today we set up the equipment, the room has been arranged, you can read it carefully when you return to the room later, you must understand the role thoroughly, and the behavior must conform to the logic of the role's behavior."

He added: "Don't worry, although our crew is not well-off, but we don't care about the quality just to rush work. We must make sure that everyone portrays the characters thoroughly."

Lu Qingjia shook the thin paper and asked the director, "The role arrangement is very clear, but the script doesn't seem to have two lines?"

The director looked ambitious: "You don't understand this, right? A movie with too much craftsmanship has no spirituality. As long as the character is well portrayed, it will naturally come to life. This is the real art."

"I said you don't understand. In short, I will give you a task first, that is, within three days, completely become the people in the script."

Everyone thinks that you are a grass-roots team, but they are arrogant. They say whether they can successfully make a movie, but they want to fly before they learn to walk.

But Lu Qingjia applauded and said with a face full of approval: "I think so too, I think the soul of a movie is the characters, and the plot is secondary. Put interesting characters in a specific environment, and they will naturally produce interesting chemistry. The reaction and the wonderful conflict, it seems that the director's idea coincides with mine."

Director An glanced at this little white face, and was quite amazed at his appearance. This kind of person is considered to be outstanding among the popular traffic. The most rare thing is his calm demeanor.

Looking at the bottom people who don't look like crawling and rolling, but like a young master who came out to experience life—

How did this guy get recruited before? And what he said seemed to mean something

Director An was a little puzzled, but the other players were not happy.

They glared at Lu Qingjia, this guy doesn't know what the mission is about? What good does it do for them to mess around with and increase the difficulty and time of filming

Then he said to the director: "It means that it will take three days before the official shooting? Why does it take so long, and what does it mean to become a character in the script within three days? You also know what these characters are, is it possible that Are we really going to learn how to cheat on pornography and drugs?"

"Besides, it's all money for a day's delay." Several players felt that they were also worried about this nine-rate movie.

Because according to experience, if the task is to ensure the success of the filming, the obstacles will not only be the horror and danger from the dark, but also the practical reasons to teach you how to be a human being.

The director really waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about money, it's enough to focus on the script."

"As for pornography, gambling, drugs and cheating, sometimes it's impossible for the sake of art." After speaking, he said without giving others a chance to refute: "In this way, starting tomorrow, I will give some guidance one by one. This is a unit script, which consists of five Composed of a small story, a comedy about the three religions and nine streams, how can you make it without the real smell of fireworks?"

"It's okay, we are patient. If we don't make it in the early stage as a tidbit, and when the movie is released, it will be a hit, and you will know how to thank me when you look back."

This whimsical remark made the players quite speechless.

However, there is still a stinky foot in the team, Lu Qingjia said: "Well, now I am more and more optimistic about this movie. Director An is the quality that a filmmaker should have. How can it be like the rotten products produced by the assembly line on the market today. If there are no filmmakers like An Director in China, the entire industry will really be over.”

Everyone looked at Lu Qingjia, and clearly said 'Brothers don't need to talk about this'.

Then I heard about more eyeballs falling out, because Lu Qingjia continued: "So is this movie still short of investment?"

"I want to be involved as both an actor and a producer."

"How much can you pay?"

"Is five million enough? Considering that the movie itself doesn't require much investment, but if it's not enough, you can speak up."

Director An's face became subtle when he heard the words, and gloom and hesitation flashed in his eyes: "You, where did you get so much money?"

Talking and laughing a little stiffly: "Young people are from a good family, right? No, you must have the financial resources and connections, so you can't make a mess like me? Although the money is not much, but if it works well, it's up to you. It's not a problem to get a decent role with your looks."

Everyone in the crew sucked in a breath of cold air, and the female protagonist of the water snake waist also entangled enthusiastically, pushing away the female player who was standing next to Lu Qingjia: "Oh, then all of us will be in the light of Xiao Lu from now on."

But it is such a good thing, but Director An's face is not good-looking, and he is about to say something to refuse.

Lu Qingjia didn't give him a chance, and said with a rather ambiguous expression: "I had a boyfriend before, who supported my interests, and gave me a sum of money to test the waters, but unfortunately I didn't like a reliable crew. We just broke up, don't think about human resources, it's fate to meet our crew."

"Don't worry, director, I will not give random pointers, nor will I destroy the structure of the film for my own role. You can write these into the contract to guarantee you the greatest creative freedom."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Lu Qingjia strangely, and the smiling face of the female lead actress was suddenly stiffer than the hyaluronic acid on her face.

Director An breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the break-up fee from Bao Xiaobailian, the coal boss. He said that he had specially instructed the middleman before selecting the candidate, so how could such a flaw occur.

However, Director An still went out to make a phone call, and only after returning did he agree to Lu Qingjia's proposal.

Lu Qingjia was also very happy, and transferred 2 million to the crew's account on the spot, and the remaining balance was transferred in order according to the shooting progress.

After half an hour of signing the contract, Lu Qingjia transformed from a mere actor to a producer.

Several players couldn't understand his stupid and rich behavior, especially when this guy urged everyone to go out to celebrate.

Considering the official start of work tomorrow, it was inconvenient to run too far, so I found a decent restaurant nearby.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Qingjia took advantage of the checkout time to have a private chat with the boss.

The owner was obviously reluctant to mention many things, but considering that Lu Qingjia ordered several bottles of Moutai and later ordered several inexpensive cigarettes, the restaurant owner quietly reminded him of many things that the nearby residents only knew about. .

When Lu Qingjia returned to the box, Director An had already been forced to slip under the table.

Everyone helped him out, preparing to go back to the apartment—because of the lack of funds, the apartment was not only a filming location, but also a temporary dormitory.

With a cigarette in his hand, Lu Qingjia suddenly said, "I've got some money now, why don't you guys stay in a hotel? Anyway, a dozen people can't open a few rooms, and it doesn't cost much."

Director An was clearly so drunk, but his whole body was agitated, and his voice was a little distorted: "No, I have to live there."

"Why?" Lu Qingjia smiled and said, "Are you trying to save money? That's not the case. When I left my luggage, I found that although the building was barely livable, the wires were old and open. The lights only jumped the gate once, the water heater was broken, the tap water had too much rust stains, the color was red like blood water, it was really not suitable for living.”

"Although money is used on the edge of the knife, the health of the crew is the capital of the progress of the work, so there is no need to save it."

Unexpectedly, Director An became angry when he heard it: "I am the director. I have the final say. You only promised before signing the contract. Don't point out my arrangement. If you want to do this, we will immediately terminate the cooperation."

Seeing this, the others quickly persuaded: "Don't be angry, it's not a trivial matter, is it?"

Director An swept away the drunk state just now, and his eyes were firm and a little crazy: "I want to make the most realistic movie, if you can't bear this hardship, leave it to me."

Things are so ugly, if you don't want to tear your face, you can only compromise.

Everyone thought that Lu Qingjia would hit the bar hard. After all, how could he be angry with him? Including several players also thought that the purpose of his money was here.

Unexpectedly, he compromised in an instant, as if he didn't think far enough, and shouldn't question the director's intentions.

The group returned to the apartment building in an awkward atmosphere.

When it comes to the allocation of rooms, it is a bit interesting. The director and the two staff members he brought, as well as the water snake waist and her assistant live on the first floor.

Others were assigned to a room, scattered on different floors, and the scenery inside was worthy of careful scrutiny.

For example, Lu Qingjia's room, from the bedspread and quilt to the basin and tooth cup, is full of the atmosphere of the last century, the red and green peony flowers, the red carp playing in the water and the lacquer washbasin, and the Bayi factory porcelain cup.

But at the same time, there are modern electrical appliances, but the aesthetics are still red and green, and it looks like the residence of the elderly.

After Lu Qingjia and a male assistant settled the director to sleep, they decided to go upstairs to visit the rooms of several players who were actors to see if the room layout was as he expected.

It turned out that they were all gathered in the middle-aged player's room on the third floor who played the satyr. Seeing Lu Qingjia coming, he hurriedly let him in.

Lu Qingjia looked around the room for a week, and before she spoke, she heard the player who played the role of a drug addict thief laugh, "Grandson An, no wonder I have to live here. It turns out that there are so many beautiful women."

"Beauty?"

The thief player said: "Yes, we just met upstairs and chatted for a while. Several college students who have just graduated, working as graphic models and group performers, living here is cheap."

Everyone nodded: "It's really cheap. The rent of this kind of place is divided by the shared rent, and the monthly rent is lower than the phone bill."

Lu Qingjia looked at a few people, as if completely forgetting that this apartment was a haunted house according to the instructions in the copy. It seems that during the day, the nearby residents are very secretive, and it is obviously impossible for tenants to live around.

Since several players are not complete newcomers, they will not even have this vigilance, so those beauties are interesting.

Lu Qingjia said, "Which room are they on which floor?"

"Five zero three!" The thief player said subconsciously, and then snorted: "Aren't you with a man?"

As a result, I only saw the other party disappearing into the corner of the clothes by the door—

"Here, this kid takes everything for both men and women."

"It's too capricious to take action when you see a beautiful woman, right?"

"It's good to be handsome." Several players sighed.

As a result, Director An's assistant went upstairs with a bag of fruits and smiled, "Where are you all? Save me from running around."

"There is fruit here, you can share a share."

Everyone's mouth is dry, so you are welcome. There are two male players who are not very particular, and they wiped them on their sleeves and gnawed them.

He chewed his mouth and said vaguely: "By the way, didn't we rent the entire apartment for filming? Where are the other tenants?"

The assistant said: "No, I've booked the show. The quilts have been decorated in the shooting locations of the starring rooms before I came here. Director An is careful, and all the details have to be checked by myself."

"Hey, but we just met the beauty of 503."

"What, what is 503?" The assistant's face turned pale: "Although Wu03 didn't arrange for anyone to live there, it was also the filming location. How could there be anyone?"

The expressions of several players changed greatly, and the question that was ignored just now as if their brains were lacking, suddenly regained their normal thinking ability with the words of the assistant.

"No, that little white face is more fortunate and less fortunate."
