Master Swindler
Chapter 17
Horror game: "..."
There should be no expectation on the face of a liar.
Lu Qingjia ignored the naive connotation, and then looked at the positioning of his role.
Professional liar, but they are different from the less popular ones on the market.
Blind-looking, well-dressed, and very deceptive.From the outside, he is a young man with a stable job and good financial conditions. At first glance, no one would associate him with a liar.
Enthusiastic, patient, and especially tolerant to the elderly and children, he is the type most pleased with old men and old ladies.
But in fact, the act of getting close to the elderly, removing their precautions, and defrauding them of their pensions, is arguably the most frenzied type of liar.
Seeing this, the horror game couldn't help but say something mean: [Does someone in this business look familiar?
Lu Qingjia smiled and said, "That can’t be the case. The scammers in the setting, the old people don’t realize that they are being cheated for a certain period of time after they have paid out. Often this kind of happiness of being cared and hopeful can last a long time. ."
"And the old lady ghost pays me like cutting meat, suffering from 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-even if it is a false and short sense of happiness, what benefits can I get? Of course it is more interesting to watch them cut their own thighs."
What kind of villain's speech?Horror games increasingly feel that this batch of their most promising seed players has problems.
Thinking that this guy was lying with Zhong Liyu's weird brain circuit at first, I suddenly felt that a bad pot with a bad lid, but I didn't know which of these two feces was more poisonous.
The horror game quickly browsed Lu Qingjia's life history. This guy was completely disguised in a peaceful and stable reality.
If it wasn't for the game to turn their faces too quickly and the brutal behavior was unambiguous, it would have to believe that this was a well-educated, elegant and cunning noble boy.
Of course, apart from Lu Qingjia, the other actors are equally wonderful.
A large apartment on the first floor of the apartment has been sorted out and used as a place for the crew to meet and release news.
Several players got the script, and just took advantage of the discussion.
This time there are seven players, five males and two females. The five male players are all actors. One of the two female players is on-set, and the other is the assistant of the starring female player.
"I'm a pervert." A fat middle-aged player turned over his own script and said helplessly.
"I'm a gambler." The player who said this looked a little shrewd.
"I'm a drug addict pickpocket." This player is surprisingly thin, and looks really sharp-mouthed.
"I, I'm a perverted prostitute."
"Oh Huo~~~" The players looked at the last one.
The ticket player hurriedly waved his hands: "I suspect that the game discriminates against our looks, who would say that we look alike?"
There was an awkward silence in the air, and the two female players didn't need to participate in the performance, and chuckled: "Just looking at the appearance, the casting is quite appropriate."
When the director saw everyone discussing the script, he came over cheerfully: "The script is okay? Although they are all difficult, don't be discouraged, I believe you."
"Today we set up the equipment, the room has been arranged, and you will read it carefully when you come back to the room in a while. You must thoroughly understand the character and behave in accordance with the logic of the character's behavior."
He said: "Don't worry, although our crew is not rich, but it is not because of the quality of the work, we must make sure that everyone portrays the role well."
Lu Qingjia shook the thin paper and asked the director: "The role arrangement is very clear, but the script does not seem to contain two lines?"
The director looks ambitious: "You don't understand this? A film 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."
"After that, you don't understand. In short, I will give you a task first, which is to completely become the person in the script within three days."
Everyone wondered if you, a grass-roots team, was proud of it. It's a question of whether you can make a movie successfully, but you want to fly before you learn to go.
But Lu Qingjia clapped and applauded, "I think so too. I think the soul of the movie is the character. The plot is secondary. Putting interesting characters in a specific environment will naturally produce interesting chemistry. The reaction and the wonderful conflict, it seems that the director's ideas coincide with me."
Director An glanced at this little white face, and was quite surprised by his looks. This way, it was placed in the popular flow, and it was also considered outstanding. The most rare thing was his calm demeanor.
Looking at the low-level characters who don’t seem to be touching, but rather like a young master who has come out to experience life——
How did this guy get him before?And what did he say seem to mean something?
Director Ann was a little confused, but the other players were upset.
They stared at Lu Qingjia. Does this guy know the content of the mission?What good is it for them to mix things up and increase the difficulty and time of filming?
Then he said to the director: "It means it will take three days before the filming is officially taken? Where does it take so long, and what does it mean to become a character in the script in three days? You also know what characters are these, is it possible? Does it really make us learn how to trick pornography, gambling, drugs?"
"Besides, this delay is all money." Several players felt that they were also broken by this nine-rate movie.
Because based on experience, the task is to ensure that if the filming is successful, the obstacles will not only be the horrible danger from the dark, but the practical reasons still teach you to be a human being.
The director did give a big hand: "You don't need to worry about money, just focus on the script."
"As for pornography, gambling, drugs and cheating, sometimes it’s impossible for art." After speaking, he said without giving others a chance to refute: "In this way, starting tomorrow, I will do some guidance one by one. This is the unit script. Composed of a short story, a comedy about three schools of thought, how can you make it without the real smell of fireworks?"
"It's okay, we have patience. If you don't make it in the early stage, you can use it as a tidbit. When the movie is released, you will know to thank me when you look back.
This whimsical remark made the players quite speechless.
Lu Qingjia said, "Well, now I am more and more optimistic about this movie. And Director An is the quality that a filmmaker should have. It's like the rotten ones produced on the market today. Film, if there are no filmmakers like Andao in the country, the entire industry will really be over."
Everyone looked at Lu Qingjia, their eyes clearly written, "Brothers don't need to blow this up."
Then I heard something more eye-catching, because Lu Qingjia continued: "So is this movie still short of investment?"
"I want to participate as an actor and a producer at the same time."
"How much can you pay?"
"Is five million enough? Considering that the film itself doesn't require much investment, but if it is not enough, just speak up."
Director An's face became subtle when he heard that, and his eyes flashed dull and hesitating: "You, where do you get so much money?"
He said and laughed rather stiffly: "Young people are in a good family situation, right? No, you need to have the financial connections, so you can't make me such a small crew member? Although the money is not too much, but it depends on you if it works well. It’s not a problem to look like a decent character."
Everyone in the crew took a deep breath, and the female protagonist also wrapped around enthusiastically, squeezing away the female player who was originally standing next to Lu Qingjia: "Oh, then all of us will be exposed to Xiao Lu in the future."
But it is obviously such a good thing, but Director Ann's face is not good-looking, and he is about to say something to refuse.
Lu Qingjia didn't give him a chance, and his face was rather ambiguous: "I made a boyfriend earlier, and he supported my interest. I gave a sum of money to let me try the water, but unfortunately I didn't see a reliable crew. The two of us broke off. Don't even think about the network resources. It's fate to meet our crew."
"Don't worry, director, I won't give random pointers, nor will I destroy the structure of the film for my own part. You can write these into the contract to guarantee you the greatest creative freedom."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Qingjia weirdly, and the smiling face starring the girl with the water snake waist suddenly became stiffer than the hyaluronic acid on her face.
Director An breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the coal boss Bao Xiaobailian paid the breakup fee. He said that the middleman was specifically asked before the selection. How could such a mistake occur.
However, Director An still went out to make a phone call, and only after coming back did he agree to Lu Qingjia's proposal.
Lu Qingjia was also happy, and transferred 2 million accounts into the crew on the spot, and the remaining balance was transferred in order according to the shooting progress.
After signing the contract in half an hour, Lu Qingjia changed from a purely actor to a producer.
Several players simply couldn't understand his stupid and rich behavior, especially this guy still drew everyone out to celebrate.
Considering that the work will officially start tomorrow, it is inconvenient to run too far, so I looked for a decent restaurant nearby.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Qingjia took advantage of the effort to settle the bill and started a private conversation with the boss.
The boss was obviously not willing to mention many things, but seeing that Lu Qingjia ordered several bottles of Moutai and ordered several non-cheap cigarettes afterwards, the restaurant owner still quietly reminded him of something that many nearby residents only knew. .
When Lu Qingjia returned to the box, Director Ann was already swiping under the table.
Everyone helped him out and prepared to return to the apartment—because of previous funding constraints, the apartment was also a temporary dormitory in addition to the shooting location.
With a cigarette in his hand, Lu Qingjia suddenly said, "I have a little money right now, or should I find a hotel for everyone? Anyway, a dozen people can't open a few rooms and it doesn't cost much."
Director An is obviously drunk, but he is full of excitement, and his voice is a little distorted: "No, you must live there."
"Why?" Lu Qingjia smiled: "Are you trying to save? That's not so good. When I put my luggage earlier, I found out that although the building is barely living in, it's okay to live in, but the wires are old and open. The light is skipped once, and the water heater is broken. There are too many rust stains in the tap water and the color is as red as blood. It is really not suitable for living."
"Although money is used on the blade, the health of the crew is the capital of the work progress, and there is no need to save it."
Who knows that Director Ann became popular when he heard it: "I am the director. I have the final say. You only promised it before signing the contract. If you don't give pointers to my arrangements, we will immediately terminate the cooperation if you want this."
When other people saw this, they quickly persuaded: "Don't be angry, this little thing is not enough?"
Director Ann swept away the drunken state just now, his eyes were firm and crazy: "I want to make the most realistic movie. If I can't bear the hardship, just let me go."
Things are so ugly, if you don't want to tear your face, you can only compromise.
Everyone thought that Lu Qingjia would be tough. After all, how could anyone still be angry with paying?Including several players also thought that the purpose of his money is here.
Unexpectedly, he compromised in an instant, because he didn't think long enough and shouldn't question the director's intentions.
The group returned to the apartment building in embarrassment.
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 Shui Sheyao and her assistant live on the first floor.
The others are divided into separate rooms, scattered on different floors, and the scenery inside is worthy of careful consideration.
For example, Lu Qingjia’s room, from the bedspread quilt to the washbasin and teeth cup, is full of the breath of the last century, with big red and green peony flowers, red carp splashing in the water and the paint washbasin, and the Bayi factory porcelain cup.
But at the same time there are modern appliances, but the aesthetics are still red and green, and it looks like an old man’s residence.
After Lu Qingjia and a male assistant settled the director to sleep, they decided to go upstairs to visit the rooms of a few 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 room on the third floor playing the pervert. Seeing Lu Qingjia came and quickly let him in.
Lu Qingjia looked around the room for a week. Before he could even speak, he heard the player thief who played the addict and thief laugh and said, "The grandson of Anna, no wonder I must live here. There are so many beautiful women."
"beauty?"
The thief player said: "Yeah, we just met upstairs and we talked for a while. A few college students who just graduated, doing graphic models and group actors, live here for cheap."
Everyone nodded: "It's really cheap. The rent in this kind of place plus the share of the rent, the monthly rent is lower than the phone bill."
Lu Qingjia looked at a few people, as if he had completely forgotten that this apartment was just a ghost house according to the instructions in the copy.It seems that during the daytime, nearby residents are secretive, just like there is obviously no tenant living around.
Since several players are not completely newcomers, they are not even wary of this point, so those beauties are interesting.
Lu Qingjia said, "Which room are they on which floor?"
"Five zero three!" The thief player subconsciously said, and then he said: "Aren't you with a man?"
In the end, only the corner of the other party's clothes disappeared by the door——
"Well, this kid eats all men and women."
"Shooting when you see a beautiful woman is too capricious, right?"
"It's good to be handsome." Several players sighed.
It didn’t take long for Director An’s assistant to bring up a bag of fruit and laughed: "Are you all here? It saves me running away."
"There is fruit here, so you can divide it."
Everyone's mouth is dry, so you're welcome. There are two male players who don't pay much attention to them. They wiped the sleeves and gnawed.
Mouthful chewing and vaguely said: "By the way, did we not rent the whole apartment for our shooting? Where are the other tenants?"
The assistant said: "No, it's reserved. Before I came to the filming locations of the main actors, I had been decorated with quilts. Director An should be careful, and I have to go through all the details by myself."
"Hey, but we just ran into the 503 beauties."
"Wh, what is 503?" The assistant turned pale: "Although 503 is not arranged to live in, it is also the shooting location. How could there be anyone?"
The faces of several players changed drastically, and the problems that had been neglected just as they were lacking in their brains, with the assistant's words, suddenly recovered their general thinking ability.
"Not good, that little white face is more auspicious."
