Endless Debt

Dudel stood behind the curtain of the stage in an uneasy mood. He knew that once he walked out, there would be no turning back. But for the sake of his career, he still gathered up the courage after taking a deep and hard breath. , heading towards the most difficult scene of his career.

"Hello everyone!"

With a false smile on his face, Dudel waved to the camera, "This is Dudel, your loyal friend, welcome to tonight's movie talk show."

Come on, Dudel, hold on.

Dudel muttered to himself repeatedly, waving to the side of the stage, and the camera focused on it.

"Let us welcome tonight's guest, emerging film director, Mr. Borogo Lazarus."

The spotlight was turned on, but no one came out from behind the curtain. At the same time, a faint quarrel sounded.

"It's time for you to get out!"

"I know, I know, don't push me."

"Are you camera phobic?"

"Huh? Lens phobia. Compared with this, I think you have a problem. Are you here to participate in the costume party?"

"Aren't I acting in my true colors? Doesn't it make the interview more sincere?"

The quarrel became clearer and clearer, and lumps bulged out from behind the curtain. Just when Dudel was completely despairing of his career, two figures emerged from it one after the other.

The man's clothes are extremely formal, with a tie and flowers on his chest. His body is as straight as a hanging sword, and his hair is carefully combed and meticulous.

He didn't look like he was here for an interview. His solemn appearance was more like he was attending a grand ceremony.

Seeing Dudel, the man smiled kindly, but it was obvious that he was not a person who was good at smiling. The smile reflected in Dudel's eyes was full of subtle distortion.

"Phew...calm down, Dudel, stay calm."

Dudel muttered in his heart. It was obviously not the first time he had dealt with Boluogo, but every time he saw this guy, his heart trembled.

As for the guy standing next to Boluogo, he looked much weirder. His clothes were in tatters and stained with heavy blood. He wore an anti-bite mask used by mental patients on his face and held a regular knife in his hand. A claw hammer dripping with plasma.

Duder recalled the true identity of the Bologna director, and he sincerely hoped that it was really prop plasma and not freshly squeezed from some unlucky person.

After taking a closer look at this strangely dressed guy, Dudel couldn't help but move his eyes to the promotional sign on one side. The weirdo's outfit was exactly the same as the Hammer Murderer in the promotional poster for the movie "Hammer."

Acting in his true colors.

Taking a deep breath again, Dudel showed an ugly smile and said, "Welcome again Director Boluogo and the star of this film, Mr. Palmer Clarks, to visit this program."

Bologo greeted the camera, "Hello everyone."

Palmer... The Hammer Murderer sat down, swung his hammer at the camera, and shouted.

"Hammer kill!"

This is the classic line from Hammer Massacre, and it is also the only line in the movie.

Dudel lowered his head and looked at his card and asked Bologg, "Let's start the interview first... Director Bologg, what do you think of the sudden popularity of the movie "Hammer"."

"It's inexplicable," Boluogo spread his hands and said sincerely, "This is a holiday work after I was admitted to film school. I really didn't expect that it would arouse such a warm response."

"This shows that Director Boluogo is a genius in this industry!"

This admiration of Dudel comes from the bottom of his heart. In this regard, Bologo's resume is very clear. He was admitted to the film school in Oath City Opos six months ago, and then started to learn about film-related knowledge. It was his first summer vacation at school, and it was also during this vacation that he produced such a work.

At first, this "Hammer" was only circulated among a few of Bolog's friends and his school teachers. I don't know who spread it. With enough exciting and heavy-flavored plasma content, this movie became It spread like a virus and caused a trend.

"Genius? I'm not a genius. I just love this industry."

Boluogo thought for a while and added, "You do what you do and love what you do, right?"

"Hmm... Next question, Director Boluogo is not a professional. At least for now, you haven't graduated yet. So what did you do before you entered the film industry?"

Dudel's heart was in suspense. He didn't know the specific content of Boluogo's work, but from the few encounters, Dudel clearly understood the madness and evil nature of Boluogo's work. To call him a professional killer is a kind of derogation and contempt.

The damn program director just asked such a question. Dudel only hoped that Boluogo could express it more implicitly.

"I?"

Boluogo was stunned for a moment, smiled sheepishly, and said calmly, "Security."

"security guard?"

Hearing this answer, Dudel blinked and took a long breath.

It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. Before coming to participate in the interview, Boluogo had already prepared some corresponding remarks.

"It's really... surprising," Dudel habitually extended the topic, "The director who can make such a movie is actually a security guard."

"I think this job is okay."

Boluogo looked a little proud and said with a little meaning, "Security, security, keep the world safe."

Dudel then looked at Palmer, who was dressed as a Hammer Killer, and asked, "So, what was the previous job of the leading actor and Palmer?"

Boluogo said, "He is also a security guard. He is my colleague and usually stands guard with me."

The Hammer Murderer nodded vigorously and shouted with great force.

"Hammer and kill!"

The loud voice was heard, and Dudel looked at the Hammer Murderer with a blank expression.

Burlogo seemed to sense Dudel's confusion, translating, "He said 'yes'."

Dudel blinked again and looked at the director next to the camera for help, and the director gave him a thumbs up to express encouragement.

The director was very excited, and he was considered a fan of Boluogo.

"Hammer" is a very special movie. Its plot is very simple. In fact, the plot is almost as simple as nothing. But considering that this is just Boluogo's summer homework, it is understandable.

The film tells the story of a group of cultists who capture an unlucky man, take him to an abandoned building, and prepare to disembowel him and perform a blood sacrifice.

When he was about to die, the unlucky guy was so frightened that he had a mental breakdown. His desire for survival completely exploded. He picked up a rusty hammer and blew off the head of a cultist... and what happened next was a battle royale. , the unlucky man transformed into a hammer murderer, relying on the adrenaline secreted to knock the heads of the cultists one by one in the abandoned building.

The plot of the whole movie is like this. It sounds extremely boring, just like some low-budget adventure films, but under this boredom, the whole movie seems extremely exquisite, so exquisite that it makes people crazy.

"Ahem, let me see what the next question is..."

Dudel looked at the cards in his hand and asked another question, "Everyone is curious, why is the plot of this movie so simple, or in other words, there is almost no plot at all?"

"The more formal answer is, I want to make a pure movie."

Burlogo replied seriously, "There's no soporific foreshadowing, no retarded moments, and no nauseating, self-reflective moments."

"Before I became a director, I was also an audience member. I knew very clearly what kind of plots I hated in movies and what I wanted to see."

Bologo said, looked at the camera and smiled, "Everyone comes to watch this movie because of the violence, blood, and desire for destruction. Instead of procrastinating, it's better to get to the point."

After saying this, Boluogo said sheepishly, "A more truthful answer is... this is just a holiday assignment. I didn't think too much about it, and since I'm not very good at writing plots, I might as well abandon the plot altogether. "

"Oh, that's how it is."

This answer was unexpected by Dudel. He then asked, "The real answer is that you can't write the plot? So can I understand that this is the reason why the lines in this movie are so simple?"

In the entire movie, apart from the obscure prayers of the cultists at the beginning, the only thing left is the cheers when the excited protagonist transforms into a murderer and swings a hammer to smash heads.

Hammer to kill!

Hammer to kill, hammer to kill, hammer to kill, in the movie, the Hammer Murderer kept cheering like this. Until the end of the movie, he never said a complete sentence, as if there was a language barrier.

"That's almost it. Since there's no more plot, why not just omit the lines," Bologg said, glancing at the Hammer Murderer beside him. "He just doesn't have to memorize the lines, figure out the tone and so on."

Dudel sighed, "It's really... minimalist."

"Hey, it's just holiday homework after all."

Dudel set his sights on the Hammer Murderer and looked at the mottled and blood-stained mask on his face.

"Then you prepared this mask to avoid facial expressions?"

"Of course, Palmer didn't have any professional acting training, so he could only get by in this way," Bologo added, "But after the actual shooting, I found that the effect was pretty good, and I put on the mask. It also adds a lot of inhumanity, which makes the movie’s horror atmosphere much stronger.”

Hammer Killer cheered, "Hammer Kill!"

Dudel was completely speechless by this perfunctory and minimalist approach. After a moment of silence, he turned over his cards.

"It is said that when you were filming "Hammer", all the action performances were purely real shots?"

In the movie, Hammer Murderer's movements are vigorous and swift, and he can perform all kinds of movements that are impossible for ordinary people to do, smoothly and silky. Fans commented that the protagonist's action performance will never be inferior to any action movie star, and this is indeed the case.

After all, the protagonist is Palmer, a defender who transcends mortals. No matter how powerful the action movie star is, he will be shattered to pieces if he falls from several floors. But if it were Palmer, he might have to worry about vulnerability. of the ground.

Boluogo replied, "Yes, real shots, no shooting techniques, just punches to the flesh."

"Oh? Is this some of your pursuits as a director? I know that some directors like this very much. They refuse those tricks and do not allow the use of stand-ins. They only require..."

Boluogo interrupted Dudel, "No, it's just that I don't know how to do it, and it's much more convenient to take real photos."

Dudel was confused, "Can't do it? Is it convenient?"

"Hmm, some action scene shooting skills and stuff are my courses for next semester, I haven't learned them yet," Bologo continued, "And instead of doing those fancy things, let the actors do it directly, It’s really much more convenient.”

The Hammer Murderer on the side agreed.

"Hammer kill!"

Boluogo didn't lie. He had only taken classes for half a semester, and he was a real newcomer. As for the shooting locations, props, etc., it was really better to let Palmer take care of it himself. He was the defender anyway.

Dudel frowned. He vaguely seemed to notice something, but it was vague and somewhat unclear.

"Fans are also very concerned about your excellent use of props in "Hammer", which is simply not what you can do in a low-budget fantasy film. When the hammer smashes the skull, flesh and bone fragments fly, and the actors die. The screams in front of me...the reality of all this is simply not like a movie, as if such a massacre really happened in an abandoned building..."

Dudel's voice gradually weakened, his face turned pale, and he looked at Boluogo in panic.

Boluogo didn't notice the change in Dudel's expression at all, but continued to lie, "Oh, well, we happen to have a friend who is very good at making plasma props. She helped a lot...Huh? Dudel Del, are you okay?"

"Me? I'm fine, it's okay, it's okay."

Under Burlogo's questioning, Dudel came back to his senses. He tried to stay calm, but he still seemed restless.

Dudel hesitated and decided to ask tentatively, "I have also watched the movie myself, and I have a more personal question."

"Excuse me."

"The movie is so real, it's just... it's just like..."

"Like what really happened?"

Boluogo answered quickly, and then laughed, "I have seen such comments. Many people suspect that this is not a movie at all, but a real massacre."

"how could be?"

Boluogo spread his hands, laughed and looked at the Hammer Murderer beside him.

"Hammer kill!"

"Right!" Bologo explained as if he understood what the Hammer Murderer said, "If this was really the case, I would have been arrested and imprisoned long ago."

"Hammer kill!"

"Besides, what I filmed was a personal project. If I actually filmed an actual massacre... wouldn't it become a documentary?"

"Hammer kill!"

Burlogo defended himself, saying, "I am a law-abiding citizen."

The Hammer Murderer nodded vigorously, "Hammer!"

Dudel was speechless. At present, he could conclude that this was not a movie at all, but evidence of Bologo's crime.

In order to complete his summer vacation homework, this bastard prepared a camera and simple props in advance, and then let the unlucky guy Palmer be caught by the cultists on purpose, and then in turn filmed the massacre... Dudel had already started shooting for that The cultists were sad.

I'm afraid that these cultists will not understand until their death that they actually lost their lives for such a ridiculous reason.

Borrogo asked, "Any more questions?"

The Hammer Murderer tilted his head and asked in a questioning tone, "Hammer Kill?"

"There's...there's one more."

Dudel suppressed his complicated thoughts, "Everyone is curious. In the last scene of the movie, when the Hammer Murderer walked out of the abandoned building, why did he look back and smile, and this smile was not the feeling of escaping from death. But...a kind of evil smile in which the conspiracy succeeds."

"Perhaps... the conspiracy succeeded?"

Boluogo confessed, "Although it is just a job, the filming cannot be too straightforward, and there is no place for the audience to think, so I deliberately designed this."

"Think about it, the unlucky guy who was about to be sacrificed a few minutes ago turned into a hammer murderer in the blink of an eye, killing everyone. Whether it was the change in mentality or the brutality of the killing, it was incompatible with the unlucky guy at the beginning. "

Boluogo's voice gradually lowered and he whispered, "Perhaps, from the beginning, the unlucky guy was the Hammer Murderer? He was caught deliberately so that he could find a legitimate reason to kill?"

The hammer murderer whispered, "Hammer~"

Boluogo smiled, "It's just a little suspense of a reversal."

Dudel took a deep breath. He was already regretting taking this interview, but fortunately, the Q\u0026A was about to end.

"Last question, the audience is looking forward to your next work. When can we see it?"

Boluogo thought for a while and replied, "In three months, I will have a vacation and can shoot some personal works."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Dudel showed a forced smile, "Finally, the interview is coming to an end. Do you have anything to say to everyone?"

"There's nothing much I want to say, and it's not like we won't meet in person," Bologo waved to the camera, "I'll see you all in three months."

The Hammer Killer swung his hammer and shouted with equal excitement, "Hammer!"
