Chapter 1665 Next Plan (Meow continues to roll in the new year)
"Hmm..."
When Duanmuhuai opened his eyes again, he only felt.........
It's so hot.
Turning his head, he saw that Yana next to him was hugging him tightly and sleeping soundly, while Chitanda on the other side was huddled up and closing her eyes tightly. Duanmuhuai broke free from Banajian's restraints, then took out his cell phone and glanced at it.
【September 7, Saturday, 6:31 am】
At the same time, a sharp scream came from outside.
"Ah————!!!"
When the police arrived, it was already an hour later.
"The deceased was Professor Ueno, and two of his students, Yoshi Sakura, Takashi Miyamoto, and Professor Ryoichi Sato, who was a colleague of Professor Ueno, are missing..."
While the police were investigating the records, they looked at everyone suspiciously.
"Are you guests invited to the banquet by Professor Ueno?"
"That's right."
Duanmuhuai nodded.
"I wanted to discuss some information about folklore ghost stories with Professor Ueno, so I asked through Director Shimizu, and Professor Ueno happened to be holding a banquet, so he invited me to attend. And I came with two companions from the club. Attend a banquet.”
"Ah, that's it...Have you noticed anything unusual?"
"Ugh...I'm not sure..."
Yana frowned and hit his head.
"I remember that I seemed to have had a very scary dream, but I couldn't remember it clearly."
"Me too..."
Chitanda shook his head.
"Maybe it's because Professor Ueno asked everyone to gather together to tell the story of the Hundred Monogatari last night. I also had a nightmare..."
"Is that so...you all ate the same food, right?"
"Yes..."
"Hmm..."
Of course Duanmuhuai knew why the police asked this question. He had already heard from the Dashan Police Department that Professor Ueno's corpse had a hideous and twisted appearance, as if he had died in extreme pain. According to preliminary examinations by forensic doctors, the cause was a sudden illness. It's just a coincidence that several people fell ill at the same time, so the police doubted whether this was a homicide. The body is currently being brought back for further autopsy.
Of course Duanmuhuai understood why Professor Ueno died in such a miserable state. After all, Duanmuhuai was a judge, and as a judge, Duanmuhuai naturally knew some methods of torturing heretics. It was obvious that Professor Ueno was just a simple old scholar. He obviously couldn't bear the punishment of tiger bench pepper water, so Duanmuhuai inflicted pain on his body and cooperated with the fear aura to reveal the information that Professor Ueno knew. Squeeze it all out, and then let him die in endless pain.
Well, Professor Ueno's calculation was right. No one would find out what happened in the dream. Moreover, people who are killed by Kaitan in their dreams seem to disappear completely from the real world. Obviously, he planned to let Guitan kill Duanmu Huai and others, so that even if the police came to search, they would not be able to find any clues and would only find that they were missing.
Coincidentally, Duanmuhuai thought so too.
At least now, even if the police cut Professor Ueno into mutton slices, it would be impossible to tell that he had been tortured.
In fact, this is also true.
After that, the police took everyone to the police station to record a confession. Although the police did not say it clearly, the direction of their search was obviously towards the students who suspected Professor Ueno of joining forces with Professor Sato to kill Professor Ueno and then fled in fear of crime. However, Duanmuhuai knew that, These policemen can never hope to catch anyone in their entire lives.
After that, Duanmuhuai sent Banami and Chitanda back home. Regarding everything that happened before, both of them seemed to regard it as a nightmare... Although Yanami picked up the phone and looked at the date in confusion, he finally confirmed that--well, he was dreaming. .
As for the club's research, the two discussed it and decided to continue it. After all, they also received a lot of tips and help yesterday. They regarded it as a commemoration and finished this research report.
Duanmuhuai didn't object and just let them go.
But he himself was not so free.
After leaving the police station, Duanmuhuai immediately called his assistant.
"President, are you okay? I heard there seems to be something wrong with Professor Ueno?"
"It's just a bit of an accident. It doesn't matter."
Duanmu Huai was too lazy to talk about what was missing.
"I'm calling you because I have something to ask you to do."
"What happened?"
"Find me a script. I've sent you the movie script for review."
"Ah, yes..."
"Give them all to me... no, send all the action scripts to me, and I will screen them later."
"Hey? President, what's wrong with you?"
It has to be said that the assistant was quite surprised when he heard Duanmu Huai's answer. After all, based on his understanding of Duanmu Huai, Duanmu Huai basically only shoots one movie every year. This year's movie has been filmed long ago. It's a matter of principle. , it would be better to wait until Duanmu Huai comes to talk to him next year.
But I didn’t expect to be so proactive this time?
"Being idle is also idle, passing the time."
"Okay, I will prepare it and send it to the president's email address."
A movie is roughly divided into three parts, namely production, distribution and screening. However, in fact, production is actually completed last, and the first thing to be determined is distribution. The producer goes to the distribution company with the plan book. After confirming that it can be distributed, he starts to set up the shooting team. If it can't be distributed and screened, then making a movie is simply losing money. But now at least there is an online platform, and the distribution part is relatively loose. In the past, the distribution company held the lifeblood of a movie. Duanmuhuai is involved in all three parts, and his focus is on production and distribution. After all, as long as it can pass the review of the distribution company, he can change hands and start filming. Therefore, every year, many freelance producers submit their scripts to Duanmuhuai's company for cooperation.
Duanmu Huai also had his own reasons for taking action uncharacteristically.
Through the information obtained through torture from Professor Ueno, Duanmu Huai already had a certain understanding of the subspace of this world.
Similar to Duanmuhuai's speculation, the subspace of this world is not close to the soul, but seems to be closer to the spiritual influence, just like puberty syndrome.
So one of the important questions is...how to enter that world?
According to Professor Ueno, most of the kaidan locations with clear signs can be used as entrances and exits to subspace.
As for why Duanmuhuai couldn't find Ruyue Station in the first place, the reason is quite simple. According to Professor Ueno, the clearer the goal, the more focused the public will be. For example, in the case of disappearances in the Snow Pavilion, everyone knows that those people disappeared in the Snow Pavilion. When their thoughts are focused on the Snow Pavilion, the passage to the subspace will be opened.
Ruyue Station is different. Although it states that it is the last train in a certain area, it does not say which station it is, which blurs everyone's focus. Therefore, Duanmuhuai could not enter through there no matter how he took the last train. subspace.
The reason why Professor Ueno invites these guests is because he hopes to sacrifice them to further strengthen the connection between the Snow Pavilion and the subspace. It is best to create a passage for traveling back and forth.
But this is not the point. The point is, what Professor Ueno said, the creatures living in subspace.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
According to Professor Ueno, there are some kind of life forms in that world, but it seems that they are not in the same dimension as himself. When Professor Ueno tries to communicate with them, he will only have a feeling similar to ordinary people seeing evil gods, full of indescribable emotions. of fear.
According to Professor Ueno, the Kaidan creatures that attacked him and others actually have no intelligence or soul, and simply act in accordance with the actions of human thoughts. But there are also some weird creatures that are integrated with those subspace organisms. To put it simply, it is like those subspace creatures have taken on the skin of weird creatures and appear in front of humans who break into that world.
Professor Ueno said that he once entered that world accidentally and saw a "Hachishaku-sama". The moment he saw "Hachishaku-sama", he felt as if something incomprehensible was poured into his brain, as if Garbled information and knowledge. At that time, Professor Ueno felt as if his head was going to explode. Fortunately, he looked back in time and escaped.
After that, Professor Ueno ran away like crazy, and when he came to his senses, he had returned to Shirayukikan. Then Professor Ueno spent several days trying to sort out the seemingly incomplete knowledge in his brain, and then he came to a conclusion.
These creatures rely on fear to communicate with humans, because fear is the highest emotion and the easiest to trigger. After all, when you talk about friendship, love, etc., it's a bit difficult to understand, but if you push a person to the edge of the cliff, the fear will appear immediately.
Well, when you think about it, fear is indeed quite convenient.
Duanmu Huai didn't pay special attention to this. Subspace creatures were all kinds of strange and diverse. It was not like he had never seen similar monsters before. There are also some subspace creatures that feed on fear. The more fearful you are, the stronger they will be. They will also give you a fearful DEBUFF when the war starts. If they are not purified in time, they will only die.
Therefore... Duanmuhuai also needs the same coping methods.
And his choice was to fight fire with fire.
Through previous experiments, Duanmu Huai has determined that as long as he plays his own role in that world, he can get a bonus in strength. Night Girl is an example. After all, she is the shadow of most people's childhood, and the power bonus she brings cannot be underestimated.
But Ye Nu alone is not enough, and for Duanmu Huai, Ye Nu's fighting style is too low.
Therefore, Duanmuhuai intends to create a more powerful image than Ye Nu.
That's why he came to the company to select scripts.
Judging from experience, if you want to create an image that is powerful in the subspace, the quantity and intensity cannot be low.
Volume refers to the number of people who have seen it, while intensity refers to how impressed they were with that character.
Ye Nu is so powerful because she is everyone's childhood shadow. Otherwise, it might not be so easy to defeat the Seven Gozen.
It is not easy to play an impressive horror character, and it has to be spread far and wide.
For Duanmu Huai...the simplest way is to screen it globally.
That's right, as long as it is screened all over the world, even if not many people watch it, it adds up to a large number. The protagonists of many horror films have become well-known to the global public, such as Jigsaw, Jason, Freddy, Sadako, and Kayako. These are all famous and well-known "horror stars" .
Duanmuhuai also hopes to create a similar image.
But unfortunately, this is not an easy task.
"Hey...one is more boring than the other."
Turning over the script, Duanmu Huai was unable to complain. One of the reasons why it is difficult for Japanese movies to go abroad is that there is not enough popcorn. When it comes to horror movies, the atmosphere in Japan is actually very good, but the problem is that it is not exciting enough. Whether it's Jason wielding a chainsaw to chase people, or Freddy pulling him into a nightmare hunt, it's enough to make the atmosphere in the movie theater tense and exciting.
However, most of the time, Japanese horror films are suppressed from beginning to end, without any particularly exciting and intense chase and fight scenes, and because they tend to be narrative-oriented, they are not very popular and recognized by the public.
In comparison, the United States is much better in this regard. For example, on Friday the 13th, if you don’t watch Jason, you can watch beautiful women, or you can watch a man and a woman hugging and chewing on the grass.
Although most of them were gnawed on, they were shot in the head by Jason.
Hey…………
Although there are many good scripts, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, none of them are international enough. However, it is difficult for horror movies to satisfy the public's taste, so Duanmuhuai had to settle for the next best thing and look at the action genre... Well, there is nothing exciting. Japan is really not good at this aspect.
After looking through all the scripts to be reviewed, Duanmu Huai couldn't find anything he wanted to read, so he started looking through the canceled projects out of boredom. This can be regarded as Duanmu Huai's little entertainment. In fact, from many perspectives, the canceled project is more interesting and can better illustrate the diversity of human beings than the approved script.
There's always that "is this something a human would come up with?" thing.
However, there are also some projects that were killed simply because they were not in the right direction of the company, or they had a bad social impact and were not suitable for production and distribution.
Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to find a script that meets your needs.
If it doesn't work, ask the assistant to talk to a few screenwriters in the company to see if they can produce such a script. As for the theme, it focuses on making international movies. I hope these screenwriters can use their imaginations and come up with some good ideas.
So as the boss, Duanmuhuai finally decided to leave the troublesome matters to his subordinates.
Otherwise, why should we pay you wages?
