Chapter 3 List of the most astringent novels at the beginning
But the difficulty of filming a ghost movie in Blue Star... can be seen from Lin Zheng's current situation.
Even after Lin Zheng traveled through time, he was already a well-known young director with some wealth.
It didn't take much effort to put together a team and find investment.
But, just after he took out the title and script.
Within half a day, no one was left in the team, and no investment was left.
Lin Zheng went directly from a well-known young director to a loner who was shunned in the industry.
As long as you hear the word "ghost film", others will stay away.
At the beginning, Lin Zheng also tried to deceive, hiding the fact that others were filming a ghost film.
But by accident, an actor who had been getting along very well with him discovered the truth.
Then, the man broke out, acting crazy and hysterical, as if he wanted to kill Lin Zheng.
It seemed as if Lin Zheng was not tricking him into filming, but actually harming his life.
On the same day, the other party left the crew, and later blocked Lin Zheng, and they never interacted with each other ever since.
For the first time, Lin Zheng also personally felt the inner fear that people in this world have towards ghosts.
He was very ashamed and determined to never use this method to deceive people into filming for him again.
Therefore, Lin Zheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and overcome the difficulties in the subsequent filming.
Don’t have investment? Invest it yourself.
No one is acting? Act yourself.
Really not enough actors? Change the plot and delete the characters.
But after a lot of hard work, he finally completed the production of the first first-person perspective documentary ghost film "Brian the Witch".
But no theater chain is willing to show it!
It can only be played on demand online.
He was also worried that the price would be too high and would dissuade the audience, so he set the price at the lowest price.
However, the final box office was still only 125,712 yuan, which was a bloodbath.
If the price of online movies were not too low and refunds were not available after on-demand viewing, he might even have lost all his money.
After that, Lin Zheng worked non-stop to shoot the second first-person pseudo-documentary ghost film "The True Story of Ghosts".
And now the third part "Konjiam".
Although in the process, he gradually found some partners who did not need to deceive and were willing to shoot ghost films, and built his own small team.
The overall quality of movies also continues to improve.
But unfortunately, in Blue Star, the genre of ghost movies seems to be destined to fail to achieve high box office.
The final box office of "Ghost Story" was only 99,543 yuan.
As for "Konchi Rock", perhaps because the name is not so weird, it is a little higher.
Although it has been officially released today, it has achieved "good results" of 156,342 yuan.
Three movies, with a box office of more than 380,000 yuan.
In addition to the 1:1 system points of 380,000, and after deducting the network share, there is only less than 200,000 in the hand, and there are also negative reviews and scoldings that have been accompanying it.
There is nothing left.
"Huh... Fortunately, these 380,000 points can be exchanged for a silver treasure chest.
If I could get a 10,000-year lifespan directly from a treasure chest, then I wouldn’t have to make these damn ghost movies anymore.”
Lin Zheng took a long breath, and as soon as his thoughts came to his mind, the translucent system panel appeared in front of his eyes.
"In the past six months, I haven't dared to use any points. I was just waiting for this day..."
Lin Zheng couldn't help but feel a little excited.
There are a total of five levels of system treasure chests.
Black iron, bronze, silver, gold, diamond.
The Black Iron Treasure Chest only requires 3,000 yuan of system box office to purchase, and can only unlock one item.
The bronze treasure chest costs 30,000 and can produce two items.
The silver treasure chest is 300,000 and can produce three items.
The gold treasure chest costs 3 million, and four items can be opened.
The diamond treasure chest is naturally worth 30 million, and the number of items has naturally increased to five!
And as the level of the treasure chest increases, the quality of the items that can be released will also increase.
But this does not mean that
High-end treasure chests will never be able to open garbage.
You will never be able to find artifacts from low-level treasure chests.
Originally, Lin planned to save 30 million at the box office and directly buy a diamond treasure chest to test the waters.
Later I found it a bit difficult.
So the goal was lowered to 3 million gold treasure chests.
Then I realized that I was still too naive.
If you want to collect 3 million box office with a ghost movie in Blue Star, the difficulty may be a little easier than the national football team entering the World Cup.
Until today, he could only redeem one silver treasure chest.
It has to be said that the ups and downs of life... come so fast, and the transition from dream to reality is always so unprepared.
The silver treasure chest only costs 300,000, leaving more than 80,000 scattered points that can be used as you wish.
The most reasonable arrangement is naturally one silver treasure chest worth 300,000, two bronze treasure chests worth 60,000, and seven black iron treasure chests worth 20,000. In the end, there are 597 points left.
"Try your luck by getting a black iron treasure chest first!"
Lin Zheng was biting the dead skin on his lower lip. As soon as he thought about it, a black iron treasure box that only he could see appeared in his hand.
The next second, open it directly.
There are no gorgeous unboxing special effects, only extremely simple system notifications.
[Congratulations, you have acquired the ability: Master Level Grappling Technique (allowing you to have master level grappling ability)]
Immediately, a series of information poured into his mind.
It was as if he had practiced grappling for countless years and knew all the grappling techniques.
"..."
Lin Zheng was silent for a moment and forced a smile: "Hey! It's not completely useless. In the future, when making movies, you don't need to find a stand-in. You can do the martial arts scenes yourself."
After saying that, he was suddenly stunned, and then slapped his face with a slap, gritting his teeth, hating that iron could never become steel:
"I'm really not that good. I have to do the action scenes myself, so how can I find a substitute?"
The first treasure chest was quite rewarding.
Lin Zheng no longer hesitated and exchanged all the treasure boxes into the system space as planned.
Next, comes the exciting unboxing moment!
The silver treasure chest must be drawn last.
So he took out another black iron treasure box and opened it directly.
[Congratulations, you have obtained an item from the black iron treasure chest: Chronic Scar Removal Mask (Jimei’s favorite scar removal mask, the effect is really amazing, your hair will be on your head as soon as you use it. You can’t buy such good things elsewhere.
)]
Lin Zheng: "???"
He was so full that he didn't know how to vomit.
I am not a Jimei system.
Please make it clearer.
Fortunately, Lin Zheng was used to being tricked by goose factories and pig factories in his previous life, so his psychological quality in terms of opening boxes and drawing prizes was pretty good.
Plus this is just a black iron treasure chest...it's understandable.
He sighed and continued to unpack.
[Congratulations, you got an item from the black iron treasure chest: a pound of glutinous rice (a necessary item to remove corpse poison after being bitten by a zombie, and also a good helper for making rice dumplings, cooking porridge, and making rice cakes)]
"I'm not a chef either..." Lin Zheng was about to cry but had no tears!
[Congratulations, you have obtained items from the Black Iron Treasure Box: Ranking list of the most astringent novels from the starting point! (To avoid being blocked, no detailed explanation is given, please check it yourself)]
"What the hell?" Lin Zheng's head was full of questions.
[Congratulations, you have obtained an item from the Black Iron Treasure Box: Detailed explanation of the basics of ghosts (basic books on ghosts and ghosts, because they are too basic, so it’s okay not to read them)]
[Congratulations, you have obtained an item from the black iron treasure chest: Taoist Priest Four's peachwood giant sword (from the movie "Uncle Zombie"). The sword is 48 inches and 6 minutes long and weighs ten pounds and nine taels. It is mixed with ten years of cold iron in the peach wood.
It is extremely hard. Although it weakens the damage to ghosts, it increases the physical output of the sword and is very powerful.)]
"What are these things..."
Lin Zheng's heart twitched slightly, feeling even sadder than when he broke up with his first love in junior high school in his previous life: "It hurts, it hurts too much..."
