426: Chapter 426 Inspector Du explains the play

When taking a break from filming, Lin Chuyan finally had time to look at his phone.

Then he discovered that netizens had already cursed Director Deng Yu to hell.

This was somewhat within his expectations—

Director Deng Yu is truly clueless; after so many times, does he still not know that passersby all stand on his side?

If he didn't respond, that would be one thing, but if he responds without being humble and speaking properly, then he shouldn't blame the netizens for swarming him.

Lin Chuyan smiled; since the other party refused the bet, he should press his advantage.

He posted on Weibo again.

He posted two in a row.

[ If you don't dare, just say so; don't make excuses. If you think it's unfair, why don't you film something and we can compare? ]

[ Come on, don't be a coward; any bet is fine. How about... the loser gets out of the industry immediately? ]

Now the fans couldn't stay calm.

Brother, you're a top Asian idol; are you really playing for such high stakes?

[ Brother, don't do this; you're scaring me. ]

[ Damn, Yanzi, are you this confident? ]

[ I suddenly don't want Director Deng Yu to respond; what if... ]

[ Don't do this, Yanzi; how will I live without you! ]

[ Brother, he's already half a foot in the grave; forget it, let's not lower ourselves to the old man's level. ]

The fans were scared, the trolls were unsettled, and only the Haters were still fanning the flames.

Many people ran to comment under Director Deng Yu's Weibo.

[ Director Deng, Lin Chuyan is too arrogant; you must discipline him! ]

[ Director Deng, this is a rare opportunity! You know how it is—miss it and it's gone! ]

[ Director Deng, if you don't dare to take this on, I will definitely boycott your movies from now on. ]

[ Director Deng, come on, don't be a coward; the chance to make Lin Chuyan quit the industry is right in front of you! ]

[ Director Deng, you can do feature films, so you can definitely do short films too; you should film one! ]

[ Damn it, don't play dead. Aren't you a great director? Someone has bullied you to your doorstep and you don't have a word to say? ]

[ Stop calling yourself Deng Fish, change your name to Deng Turtle. ]

However, Director Deng Yu was even less likely to agree to any "bet" now.

If this person dares to speak like this, how could the short film be bad? Besides, quitting the industry? What kind of joke is that?

Thinking about it, Lin Chuyan hasn't done anything poorly so far; maybe this time too...

Director Deng Yu really didn't know what to do.

In the end, his team gave him an idea—since the previous Weibo post already said "let the feature film do the talking," then stick to that statement; everything else is fake.

Director Deng Yu adopted the suggestion.

[ Want to bet? Let a real film do the talking, and I will definitely accompany you. ]

Therefore.

Lin Chuyan reposted the Weibo.

[ Screenshot taken. Family, help me bear witness when the time comes. ]

Then he posted another Weibo—this was the news Wu Yue had just told him.

[ The feature film will have to wait a bit, but the short film's release time is confirmed: summer of the little monsters, which is also our summer, June 1st, Children's Day; see you all there~ ]

Not to mention anything else, this little short film has certainly stolen the spotlight. Counting down, Children's Day is only a few days away, and everyone is waiting to see how awesome this film is, the one Lin Chuyan bet his career on.

He put away his phone and continued filming.

Today, Director Du Qiyu rented a large shopping mall, and all the scenes would be completed inside.

The most critical thing was that he only rented it for one day.

Therefore, they should avoid retakes if possible!

Director Du was discussing the play again.

"Everyone, regarding the story of 'the mission', the thing I've thought about most is, why do we need so many Lines? Why can't we just use the camera to tell the story?"

Everyone, including the cameraman, looked at each other.

Director Du Qiyu continued to explain.

"Here, you all start to appear." Director Du Qiyu gestured while walking through the blocking, "After walking over, the camera finally gives a wide shot, showing a man in black in the distance, implying that the killer has already appeared in the mall."

"Immediately after, pop! Pop! Pop! The mall starts to turn off some of the lights, the camera shows a panoramic view of the interior, starting to stir up the audience's emotions and render an atmosphere of danger."

"Then, The Five-Man Group walks down the escalator. The camera doesn't follow you; it follows the security guard in the distance going up the escalator, focusing on him, guiding the audience to notice him, continuing to stir up the audience's suspicion, and rendering an uneasy atmosphere."

"Then my camera reverses the shot, giving it to you, and it becomes the security guard observing you. The three shot sizes gradually get closer! The tension also gradually increases."

"Okay, the key point is here—at this moment, the security guard pulls out a gun! The Five-Man Group all pull out their guns too! Pop! Pop! Pop! Both sides open fire, and the post-production editing speed increases! The tension gathered earlier is all released at this moment!"

"After taking care of the security guard, the camera points to the escalator behind you. The reflection from the escalator will show the killer, and at this time, Ah Gui and Xin Zai pop-pop open fire to drive the killer back."

"At this moment, everyone else has already gone downstairs, each finding their own cover. Ah Mike immediately raises his gun, suppressing the killer on the upper path! Drive one back as they come! Drive one back as they come! At the same time, slowly retreat, moving closer to Brother Wen's side." Director Du Qiyu pointed at Ah Mike, "Here, your gun-raising posture needs to be cool enough, and keep it motionless."

Everyone listened, fascinated: "And then?"

Director Du Qiyu nodded: "Because I will give enough time on Ah Mike, and because he is motionless, the audience's emotions are actually slowly calming down at this moment; after all, The Five-Man Group and Brother Wen are temporarily safe."

"But!!!" Director Du Qiyu became more excited the more he spoke, "At this moment, a panoramic shot slowly pulls back!!!"

Director Du Qiyu, while explaining, led everyone to the designated position: "See these two big pillars? Come, you stand in front of this pillar, you stand behind the pillar, each find your own cover."

After arranging everyone's positions, he continued: "The camera is placed in this position at this time, Ah Mike is in the distance, and Ah Lai is covering the rear. But they never expected that there are two more killers hiding behind these two big pillars!"

"Can you imagine this picture? You and the killers are within reach, but separated by the pillars, you can't see each other. Everyone is raising their guns, but no one dares to move. With the appearance of this panoramic shot, the audience's emotions are immediately stirred up again!"

Everyone's eyes were already shining by now.

"Everyone is not moving, how should the deadlock be broken?" Director Du Qiyu answered his own question, "At this moment, I will arrange for a cleaner to accidentally enter the scene. He is wearing headphones, seemingly unaware of what happened, pushing a small cart, and he walks past Ah Lai's eyes..."

"But! The reflection of the small cart also shows the killers! The killers behind the two big pillars are all revealed! Ah Lai and Ah Gui both discover this situation!"

Lin Chuyan nodded.

Understood, rush out and open fire to take care of the killers.

But Director Du Qiyu's "But" came again—

"But! Ah Lai and Ah Gui rush out to take the initiative, only to find that there is no one behind the pillars!"

Everyone was stunned again.

Director Du Qiyu's expression was very smug, as if he were proud of having fooled everyone present.

"There is only one place to hide people! Ah Lai and Ah Gui immediately realize that the killers have all hidden behind the small cart! Yes, the cleaner is also a killer!"

"Ah Lai, Ah Gui, the cleaner, the audience... everyone experiences a moment of confusion, and then, before the audience has even reacted, the post-production editing speed increases again, and the climax of this gunfight arrives—the gun barrels turn, both sides shoot at each other, pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! All the killers fall to the ground."

Director Du Qiyu finally summarized: "In this scene, there are no Lines, no fighting, it's all static. The only thing that is stirred up is the audience's rising and falling emotions!"

Not to mention the audience, just from this explanation, everyone's emotions were already stirred up.

Everyone here understands the play, and whether it's truly substantial or not, they can tell.

Awesome, truly awesome!

However, Ah Fei stood up: "Director Du, what about me?"

After the whole explanation, Ah Mike, Xin Zai, Ah Lai, and Ah Gui had all appeared, but it seemed he hadn't been mentioned.

Director Du Qiyu waved his hand: "You have a large surface area, you protect Brother Wen."
