My movie scared the global audience to tears

Chapter 186: Sense of Horror Atmosphere

The next plot confirmed Nome Masao's guess.

The Taoist priest with two fingers and long white eyebrows actually staged a scene of exorcism.

He held an apricot-yellow flag in one hand and a soul-catching bell in the other, chanting a curse in his mouth. Every time he rang the bell, the zombies would jump one step in the direction of the bell.

It was also the first time for Nome Masao to see the scene of driving away corpses with his own eyes, and he found it very strange.

When he read the ancient book before, he only saw relevant records in it. Song Qi actually filmed the scene of driving away the corpse?

As a veteran horror film director, Masao Nome found this scene very novel, let alone ordinary viewers.

Especially those who have watched "Resident Evil", when they see that the zombies can be controlled by people and follow the bells, they feel like their brains are spinning.

In "Resident Evil", the tracker can be controlled because a chip is implanted in the brain.

Why can the zombies in this movie be controlled?

Does the legendary Taoism really exist?

The movie is still going on, and the audience's perspective follows Uncle Jiu and Wencai to the Western Tea House, where they meet Mr. Ren and Ren Tingting.

Mr. Ren came to Uncle Jiu to talk about moving the old man's grave, while Wencai fell in love with Ren Tingting when they met for the first time.

Next, the scene where Qiu Sheng mistakenly admits Ren Tingting adds a lot of laughter to the movie.

But soon, the tense atmosphere reappeared again.

At three quarters past noon the next day, Uncle Jiu and his apprentice followed Master Ren to the grave of Mr. Ren, preparing to lift the coffin for Mr. Ren.

Uncle Jiu discovered the anomaly in the feng shui of the cemetery and told Mr. Ren that his luck was getting worse and worse because Mr. Ren had been framed by the feng shui master in the past for snatching the dragonfly spot.

Later, Uncle Jiu ordered someone to open the coffin, only to find that the body of Mr. Ren in the coffin had not rotted and remained in its original state after more than 20 years.

Uncle Jiu found something wrong with the body and suggested cremation, but Master Ren disagreed, so he had no choice but to temporarily store the body in Yizhuang.

There is no fierce conflict or exciting fighting in this plot, but the audience watched it with gusto.

But Masao Nome, who is also a director, felt a surprise this time.

This plot is a foreshadowing section in the plot, and serves to explain the background and setting to the audience.

But after more than ten minutes, instead of feeling bored, the audience watched with gusto. This is not an easy thing.

The audience's attention is easily distracted, so when filming a movie, some commercial shots will be intentionally inserted to keep the audience's attention.

However, this "Mr. Zombie" did not do this. For more than ten minutes, the plot was all foreshadowing, with only a few commercial scenes added, and they were all added for the purpose of foreshadowing.

This is very difficult to do. Even Nome Masao himself did not dare to be so confident when he was filming a movie.

After trying to sort out this plot, Nome Masao discovered that Song Qi used to attract the audience's attention in this plot, setting knowledge points one after another, and he would use the mouths of the characters in the play to

to answer.

For example, Uncle Jiu explained that the reason why the coffin should be opened at 3:00 noon is because the yang energy is the strongest at this time, which can avoid evil spirits from causing trouble.

It also explained the origin and efficacy of the dragonfly’s water point, as well as the eight-character taboos when opening a coffin, etc.

These settings did not make the audience feel boring, but the rich background was just right, adding to the sense of reality and making the audience more involved in the drama.

The biggest difficulty in horror movies is how to satisfy the reasonable needs of the audience.

Because everyone knows that gods, ghosts and monsters in movies do not exist, so when watching movies, it is naturally easier to have dramas than other types of movies.

Therefore, it is a very important task to make the audience accept the settings in the play and pay attention to follow the development of the plot.

"Mr. Zombie" uses extremely detailed settings to successfully create a sense of reality.

Through the mouths of the characters in the play, the director gradually makes the audience believe that there is a real world with gods, ghosts and monsters in the movie. There is a set of serious operating rules in that world, rather than the creator slapping the head.

A strange world imagined.

Especially the subsequent scene where Uncle Jiu transports the body back to Yizhuang and opens the altar, which undoubtedly further adds to the sense of reality.

After seeing Uncle Jiu explaining to his apprentices what paper, pen, ink, and swords were, while smoothly chopping chickens to get blood, getting rice to ignite fire, and blending Yang ink, the audience was shocked even though they didn't quite understand.

"I didn't expect that ancient Taoist priests were so particular about exorcising evil spirits. Why did the Taoist priests in traditional horror movies in the past always make waves with just one finger, and even carried swords to attack demons and monsters?"

"It feels so real! Were there really zombies before? But they were wiped out by an outsider like Uncle Jiu?"

Listening to the whispering discussion among the audience, Nome Masao felt a little complicated.

If, as a horror film director, the work produced can make the audience think it is real, then it can be considered a success.

However, an overly realistic setting will indeed make it easier for the audience to get into the movie, but it will also make it easier for the audience to be affected by the scary atmosphere in the movie.

Because of the literary talent's playfulness, the bottom of Mr. Ren's coffin was not hit by the ink line.

However, Qiu Sheng accidentally injured Uncle Jiu because of the fight and did not dare to stay in Yizhuang, so he planned to rush back to the city overnight.

However, on his way back to the city, there was a wedding team waiting for him.

In the dark woods, the breeze blew, making the fallen leaves rustle all over the ground.

Behind the sound of leaves rustling, there was a faint sound of singing.

"The bright moon is shining~, the dark wind is blowing in the willow alley~,"

"It's a female ghost looking for Ai Lang~!"

"Who wants to love~, the miserable ghost bride~?"

"Accompanying the female ghost~, secretly worshiping the moonlight late at night~?"

Accompanied by this vaguely weird singing, the temperature in the theater seemed to drop a few degrees, and many viewers couldn't help but shudder.

On the screen, a red sedan slowly emerged from the darkness, fluttering towards the camera, and an eerie atmosphere seemed to be coming out of the screen!

"hiss!"

Some viewers gasped.

In the picture, the figure of the bearer carrying the sedan chair was revealed. They were clearly pale paper figures with red cheeks!

They stood on tiptoes, making no sound of footsteps, and did not pick up any soil as they walked. However, the gusts of wind in front seemed to clear the way for them, picking up layers of fallen leaves and blowing them away on both sides, revealing the bottom.

Dense bones.

"The bright moon shines with light~! The evil ghost wanders in the wind~!"

"The night is deeper and the fog is colder~!"

"Wandering souls travel all over the place~, on the lonely road~!"

"Looking for a substitute~, the cold wind blows the cold moonlight~!"

A faint singing sound came from the sedan, and through the gauze on the sedan, you could see a gloomy beauty wearing a red wedding dress, sitting in the sedan singing softly.

When the audience saw her face, they were surprised to find that she was the woman named Dong Xiaoyu that they saw on the tombstone when Qiu Sheng was offering incense!

Looking at the picture on the screen, Masao Nome let out a breath and felt goosebumps all over his body.

The creation of this terrifying atmosphere is simply amazing!

Next to me, college students whispered: "It's over! Qiu Sheng is going to be cold!"
