"The Mouth of a Madman" is scheduled to be released on May Day!
This news is simply a bombshell for the media who have nothing to do after the Qingming Festival.
"Domestic horror film director Lu Jian's new work released, scheduled for May Day"
"Back! The man is back with his new movie!"
"Domestic horror film Ceiling Lu's new work will be released on May Day, hot spot analysis"
"A long article of 10,000 words helps you analyze the world view of Lu Jian's new work"
Reports like this are overwhelming, and many people are now focusing on Lu Tiao.
Some people are looking forward to the new work, some hope to see Lu Tran overturn, and some people think that domestic movies are hopeless and are pouring black mud everywhere.
Lu Jian himself had no self-consciousness and even went to watch a movie.
The movie of his half-disciple Ye Cheng was released, and Lu Tan even attended the premiere of the horror film called "No. 9 Huangmei Street".
There were very few people at the premiere at Jiangcheng Cinema. Except for some fans of the participating stars and reporters, there was no lively atmosphere at all.
The appearance of Lu Jian made the originally deserted atmosphere suddenly become tense.
When the reporters saw Lu Jian, they rushed over to interview him one after another, even leaving the original film's creative staff aside, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Director Lu, why did you come to the premiere? Is it because you think this movie has a lot of learning significance for you?"
"Director Lu, can you please introduce what are the highlights of your new movie?"
"Director Lu, are you here to watch the premiere of a similar movie because you participated in its production?"
"Some people say that "In the Mouth of a Madman" will once again set a box office record in film history. Director Lu, what do you think of this statement?"
Faced with reporters' questions that were either serious or baited, Lu Jian did not answer. He just pointed at the main creative staff who were standing aside.
"I'm just here to watch the movie. You'd better go interview them."
He immediately sat down in his seat and did not respond to any questions from reporters.
Originally there were some reporters who wanted to force themselves to sit next to Lu Tian to ask questions, but for some reason they all came back in despair. By the time the film started, they could not speak to Lu Tian again.
"No. 9 Huangmei Street" is a classic haunted house movie.
An old man in the protagonist's family passed away, leaving behind a house. The relatives had their own agendas and staged a palace fight in the house. Unexpectedly, the house itself was haunted. As a result, those mercenary relatives died one after another. In the end, only the kind-hearted protagonist survived.
Come down.
It's a very simple script, but it's also too simple.
Lu Jian is a veteran horror film director, and if this kind of plot and scene settings were played in front of him, there would only be a big word "immune".
Moreover, the actors' performances were outstanding, and their level of service was also very low. The most annoying thing was that after the eldest brother died in the movie, the sister-in-law and the second brother staged a passionate scene in front of the eldest brother's mourning hall.
A model for selling movies in the mourning hall.
As for Ye Cheng, he played the role of the eldest brother's son, a rich second generation who likes to commit suicide. He can be regarded as playing his true character. Although his acting skills are not very good in normal state, the several ghost scenes are very good, and he performed fearful
The essence, Lu Jian is very satisfied.
I don’t know if it’s because Lu Jian watched the movie, but this movie has gained a little attention among mass-produced horror movies, and the number of people watching it has slightly increased.
Within two days, "No. 9 Huangmei Street" was still able to see a slight tail in the box office rankings.
Most of the reviews about the movie were negative, but only Ye Cheng's acting skills were praised.
"This movie is boring, not scary, and the acting is embarrassing. I really can't imagine why Lu Kan wants to watch it."
"I couldn't handle the passionate scene between the sister-in-law and the second brother in the mourning hall. The director's imagination was really rich, but it seemed that it was used in the wrong place."
"Don't mention it, the eldest brother's son's acting skills are still good, especially in the scenes where he fights ghosts. His performance has the flavor of a Lu Tran movie."
"I think the biggest role of this movie is to discover the actor Ye Cheng. I think he is very talented in horror movies. Maybe he will become a big star in the future."
"Is there a possibility that we went to watch a horror movie and Lu Jian went to watch a comedy to relax?"
At the end of April, Lu Tan received a call from Ye Cheng.
"Director Lu, thank you so much. My acting skills have been recognized. Although the box office of the whole movie is not ideal, many more film and television companies have contacted me."
Ye Cheng's voice sounded quite happy. After all, it was his dream to enter the entertainment industry. Now that his acting skills have been well received, he should be quite happy.
"That's good."
Lu Tan was also happy for Ye Cheng.
"Yes, there is a problem now."
As Ye Cheng said that, he suddenly felt a little depressed again.
"What's wrong?"
"Even those film and television companies came to me to make horror films and let me play the leading role. I am obviously not a person who specializes in this type of film!"
Ye Cheng said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. Acting well in a genre film can also make people remember you. Look at some actors who only play one or two roles in their lifetime and everyone will remember them. If they can specialize in horror films, their future will be bright."
Lu Tan comforted.
With the opening of the horror film market, actors like Ye Cheng who are good at acting in horror films will definitely gradually receive more attention. This is what Lu Jian thinks.
As the premiere approached, Lu Tan was not idle. He came to Jiangcheng Mental Hospital.
He is not here to see a doctor.
Ye Cheng's incident inspired Lu Jian.
He feels that with the popularity of horror films, people's requirements for horror film directors, screenwriters, and actors will increase day by day in the future. Compared with ordinary films, horror films have more special requirements and talents are more rare.
Lu Jian alone can only produce a movie in a few months. If we want to really make people in the world accept those weird things and gradually change their perceptions, then it will require the efforts of all mankind.
Lu Jian has always believed in the people's view of history. He is just a member of this wave. Real history needs to be created by the people.
Therefore, the contradiction between the people's growing demand for horror movies and the backward production of horror movies has become what Lu Jian believes is the main contradiction in society.
In order to resolve this contradiction, Lu Jian needed a manual that could guide horror film shooting to educate, guide and cultivate new horror film talents.
Like Ye Cheng, the means of improving his acting skills through personal experience of terrorist incidents are very primitive, backward and inefficient. What Lu Jian needs is industrialized production standards.
Therefore, he came to Jiangcheng Mental Hospital to collect materials, preparing to seek help from the patients here and improve his theory of horror movie production.
Although Lu Jian did not disclose this matter, given that "The Madman's Mouth" was about to be released, the film and television reporters naturally followed Lu Jian's every move.
Many reporters have already heard about this matter in advance.
They were going to come to the mental hospital to interview Lu Jian.
