Lu Ban It will definitely be fine when you watch this movie yourself.

He had watched so much material before and tinkered with the editing for a week. If there was a problem with the video material, wouldn't he know?

But now looking at the reaction of the music producer next to me, it seems that the body of people watching movies will have a corresponding reaction?

Is it because he is special, or is this movie special?

Lu Ban Not sure.

The movie basically follows the experience of Lu Ban, but only vaguely explains the reason why he is here, and indirectly explains some background. There is a continuous plot introducing the background and characters, and then it is time to meet Momiji and go to investigate the missing painter.

Lu Ban has watched it countless times, so his focus is not on the picture, but on the reaction of Hammer around him.

He found that Hammer's breathing stopped for a moment when he saw the bloody painting that looked like a picture of hell.

The picture only stayed on the large projection screen for a moment, but Hammer was still immersed in the crazy painting. It seemed as if deep darkness appeared in front of his eyes, and a colorful rainbow appeared. He was obsessed for a moment.

"It's hard for me to describe this painting. I can't put it into words, but I was shocked. The art in this movie is so strong. Did you go abroad to shoot these pavilions and courtyards on location?"

Hammer asked in a low voice.

"So be it."

Lu Ban feels that there may be something really wrong with this video.

Because the boy in charge of playing the video next to him also stared at the screen and became confused, as if his full attention was attracted by something magical.

Could it be that I have developed immunity because I see it so much?

Lu Ban decided to consider the subsequent impact.

While Hammer was still intoxicated by the scenery of Song Island and boasting about the art style of Lu Ban, the plot had already entered a turning point, reaching the point where Lu Ban and Momiji went up the mountain.

Under the gloomy Torii Gate, Lu Ban took a first-person perspective. There was vast darkness all around, and only a glimmer of light could be seen close by.

Hammer could hear his own heartbeat, thump, thump. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching song sounded. He could only understand a few words, but the emotion conveyed in it really penetrated into Hammer's heart.

His limbs felt cold, and the screening room seemed to have turned into a cold winter street. A burst of goosebumps appeared, making Hammer couldn't help but shiver.

In such an environment, seeing the white mist again, Hammer's heart beat faster and he felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

He is naturally very courageous and can accept normal horror movies, but this is the first time he has had such a physiological reaction after watching a movie.

It's like I'm on that long, endless Torii Gate road, alone in it, with no beginning or end in sight.

Hammer For some reason, I remembered a time when I was walking at night.

It was also a very dark night. He was walking alone on the road. He could not see the road in front of him or behind him. If it were not for the dim street lights that passed by from time to time, he would have thought that he had entered a different world. In the absolute silence and darkness, fear was awakened and grew.

Everything came to a standstill when the film passed by the hem of the woman wearing the miko costume.

Hammer only felt a ringing in the ears, unable to think about anything, followed by a violent heartbeat, and the feeling that the whole body, which had been tense since just now, suddenly relaxed.

In some special circumstances, a person's body is highly tense due to concentration, and when he or she releases the pressure due to fear or the like, when he or she relaxes completely, he or she may lie down along with some muscles that should not be relaxed. This is why people may pee out of fear.

Of course, Hammer didn't pee in fear. He felt as if his whole body had grown hair, and every inch of his skin was shrinking and relaxing. When he came to his senses, he was already covered in sweat on his back.

Is this scene really scary? Hammer thought about it for a moment, and felt that was not the case. He just thought of walking at night when he was a child, and it resonated with him, which made him feel a little worried. However, the shadow of the witch was far less shocking than the sudden appearance of a grimace.

But why am I so scared?

That witch's face seems to have been seen somewhere before?

Hammer tried to close his eyes to relax, but found that even if he closed his eyes, he still saw the face of the miko.

"!"

He couldn't help but straighten his body.

When Lu Ban and Momiji walked into the shrine and saw the seated shrine maidens and priests lined up, Hammer couldn't help but admire the composition of the picture.

"I don't think this movie is based on plot, but on storyboards and fine arts. It really reflects your skill."

Hammer I have generally heard that a director's style depends on his background. Those who are background writers and producers pay special attention to plots and character relationships, while directors who are background in photography and art have a strong sense of camera.

Of course, there are some directors who have very good pictures but poor plots. Hammer feels that the plots of Lu Ban's current movies are quite satisfactory and they are common thriller and suspense themes.

However, when it came time to play [Hyakunin Isshu], Hammer felt something was wrong.

He felt that the entire screening room had become dark.

The flickering candlelight made Hammer narrow his eyes.

He felt as if the voice reciting poetry no longer existed only on the screen, but sounded from all four corners.

The sound slowly moved from the front left to the rear left, then from the rear left to the rear right.

Infected by the picture, Hammer couldn't help but slow down his breathing. He saw Momiji walking towards the corner, holding a candle and a pale-faced miko, and his heart also started to hang.

Hammer wanted to say a few words, but found that he could not open his mouth. It was as if his body was suppressed by a heavy object. He could not move or even close his eyes. He could only watch Momiji step by step in front of the ferocious witch.

"What's going on? I'm scared?"

Hammer was panicking inside. He didn't expect that a movie could cause such a situation.

He watched the pale and terrifying miko getting closer and closer until her face almost occupied the entire screen.

Buzz——

A sound broke the stiffness of Hammer's body, and he was able to take a big breath. Looking at Lu Ban who saved Momiji on the screen, he was even a little grateful.

Seeing this, Hammer felt that he should take a moment.

"Let's take a break while I go to the bathroom."

He said with a trembling voice, asked his assistant to pause the video, and walked to the company bathroom.

After releasing some pressure, Hammer lifted up his pants, turned on the faucet and washed his hands.

After patting his face with water, Hammer raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.

A little haggard, with some dark circles under his eyes, as if he had just experienced some torture.

"This movie has such a strong atmosphere."

He muttered, turned off the water, and took one last look at himself in the mirror.

He saw himself in the mirror smiling at him.

And he didn't smile at all.

"."

Hammer held on to the wall, feeling a little dizzy.

He strongly suspected that his body might not be able to support it before he finished watching this movie!
