After the rebirth of the idol, he started to lose weight and became the best actor

After reading the script, Lu Rong almost completely forgot the story he had read before. It was not because his memory was poor, but because "Rose Passion" left such a deep impression on him.

It's like you've been reading three or two boring books for several days in a row to kill time. You're so bored that you'd rather throw them away. Sometimes, after reading the whole thing, you can't even remember the name of the protagonist.

At this moment, he suddenly found a book that met his requirements in every aspect, and the feeling of forgetting to eat and sleep was similar to Lu Rong's current mood.

An excellent work can often be seen from the details.

Even though Huai Yunjian developed a cowardly and sensitive character in the early stage due to factors such as his family environment, he was not annoying. Instead, readers felt sympathy for him.

This is because the protagonist's character is fully developed, and he is not as thin and timid as a paper. People are multifaceted, and there is no one in the world who is full of shortcomings.

Since his parents were often not at home, Huai Yunjian had to learn to handle various things on his own early on, thus developing strong independent living and problem-solving abilities.

At the same time, his parents' highly educated background and strict education led the male protagonist to gradually develop an excessive pursuit of perfection and extremely high demands on himself.

Before he turned evil, the male protagonist was still a normal person, an ordinary and inconspicuous member of this world.

Life is full of big and small bumps. Use your heart as a bridge of balance. If you can get through them, you will have an ordinary and fulfilling life. If you can't, you will go to the other extreme.

The heroine is the catalyst of this imbalance.

After the male protagonist turned evil, he became so crazy that he destroyed his original personality. The huge negative emotions and diseased love supported a hollow shell, like a walking corpse with deep obsessions.

But the pursuit of perfection has been deeply engraved in his bones and blood. In such a crazy yet calm and weird state, he directed and acted out the terrifying farce in the manor.

After reading the script, Lu Rong decided on the next itinerary without much hesitation.

Not only are the characters and the plot outstanding, but after the young man decided to enter the film industry, he did not just talk about it and then leave everything to his agent, he also fully understood the industry rules, market demand, trends and the overall environment of the film industry.

Here I would like to focus on the general environment of Chinese horror films.

The fear threshold of Chinese horror is extremely high, but why are there so few outstanding horror films in China?

The reason is that China has not yet formed a formal film rating policy system, which means that horror movies need to consider too many factors, such as cultural value orientation, film scale, and audience.

Simply put, there are no restrictions on specific groups of people for the screening of horror films. In order to protect the physical and mental health of young people, unified restrictions are imposed on this type of film.

It is not allowed to promote feudal superstitions, and there must not be content that violates mainstream values. If there is excessive horror or impact on the senses and psychology, it may be difficult to pass the review.

The so-called American-style horror is restricted. Chinese horror films do not contain excessive exaggeration of blood, violence, evil triumphing over justice, anti-humanity and other negative plots.

And the story cannot logically end with a completely inexplicable supernatural event.

This is why many Chinese horror films end with the protagonist revealing that everything was just a dream, or a delusion caused by the protagonist's mental illness, which greatly disappoints many viewers.

This is the policy, and the director has no choice but to make changes before the film can pass the review.

Horror scenes, bloody images, etc. can only be attributed to human factors, hallucinations, psychological problems, scientific phenomena, etc., otherwise they may be considered to be superstitious.

Due to various restrictions, bad horror movies have emerged one after another, and the genre has gradually fallen into an embarrassing situation. Many talented directors have also turned to other film and television themes, and only a few are still persevering.

There hasn't been a domestic horror film with positive ratings in the industry for many years, and the most popular ones are still zombie films.

And when everyone is following the pace of the general environment, there will always be someone who stands up and breaks the rules.

Lu Rong saw from this simple script the director's determination and confidence to challenge the rules and utilize them.

What? You won't let me film the so-called real ghost? I will just create a haunted scene.

What? There can't be bloody and violent scenes to scare children? What does this have to do with my romantic and beautiful Rose Manor?

What? The protagonist is a murderer? No, no, no, he is a mentally ill patient. I use a negative example to advocate the correct values ​​of family and love. Besides, didn’t the protagonist die in the end?

In order to avoid public opinion, the heroine and her male best friend are not set up to be good people. Even if they are victims, the audience will only say that evil will be punished by evil, they deserve it, and it is retribution.

The plot progresses smoothly, perfectly avoiding policy restrictions and rendering the atmosphere of horror to the extreme, which actually arouses the audience's fear nerves better than crude ghost chases.

It is more real and exciting than the so-called hallucination or dream ending.

Moreover, haunting is a hoax in itself, and the related horror scenes can break through many limitations and achieve a level of realism that was difficult to achieve in previous films.

For example, a haunted house or a ghost house is really not allowed, but no matter how scary and realistic the haunted house is, it can receive tourists with minimal restrictions because it is fake.

This director's approach is undoubtedly several times more advanced than traditional film processing methods.

Because of the above factors, plus Lu Rong's own desire for challenge, he has to secure this audition spot!

"Which role have you taken an eye on...?" While Lu Rong was reading the script, Shang Yun was coordinating the schedule to ensure that the young boss could efficiently participate in various tasks in a few days.

Shang Yun, who heard the noise, leaned over and stared, "Do you really want to choose this?"

Lu Rong nodded affirmatively.

Shang Yun held his forehead with his hand. He didn't expect that the little ancestor would pick this script at first sight, which made him a little hesitant.

With his vision, he can certainly see that the content of this script is undoubtedly excellent, but in the industry, many times an excellent script does not necessarily produce an equally excellent film.

Besides, this script is the only one that the director personally contacted and invited.

Xiang Yang, the director of "Rose Passion", is not an unknown person. On the contrary, his works have won many awards at international film festivals.

If he had not made the decisive switch to horror films at the peak of his career in order to fulfill his childhood dream, his life would probably have been smooth sailing until his retirement.

Everyone else is striving for higher positions, and Xiang Yang's behavior of ruining his own future is quite shocking in the circle, but it does not stop those who have enemies with Xiang Yang from adding insult to injury.

As the saying goes, "too rigid can easily break." Xiang Yang was straightforward and not very tactful, and therefore he offended many people.
