Chapter 1665 The next plan (Meow will continue to roll in the new year)

"Hmm............"

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, he only felt.........

It was so hot.

Turning his head, Yanajian next to him was hugging him tightly and sleeping soundly, while Chitanda on the other side curled up and closed her eyes. Duanmu Huai broke free from Yanajian's restraints, then took out his mobile 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 is Professor Ueno, and his two students, Sakura Jiahui and Miyamoto Xiao, and Professor Sato Ryoichi, who is a colleague of Professor Ueno, are missing..."

While the police were investigating and recording, they looked at everyone in confusion.

"Are you guests invited by Professor Ueno to attend the banquet?"

"That's right."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I wanted to discuss some folklore and ghost stories with Professor Ueno, so I asked Director Shimizu, and Professor Ueno was going to hold a banquet, so he invited me to attend. I came to the banquet with two friends from the club."

"Oh, so... Did you find anything unusual?"

"Uh... I'm not sure..."

Yanaimi frowned and knocked his head.

"I remember that I seemed to have a terrible dream, but I can't remember it clearly."

"Me too..."

Chitanda shook her head.

"Maybe it's because Professor Ueno asked everyone to get together to tell the story of Hundred Tales last night, so I also had a nightmare..."

"So... Did you all eat the same food?"

"Yes..."

"Hmm..."

Duanmu Huai certainly knew why the police asked this. He had heard from Inspector Oyama that Professor Ueno's body was hideously distorted, as if he died in extreme pain. According to the preliminary examination of the forensic doctor, the cause was a sudden illness. It's just a coincidence that several people got sick at the same time, so the police doubted whether this was a murder case. The body is being taken back for further dissection.

Duanmu Huai certainly understood why Professor Ueno died in such a miserable state. After all, Duanmu Huai was a judge, and as a judge, Duanmu Huai naturally knew some means of interrogating heretics. Obviously, Professor Ueno was just a simple old scholar. He obviously couldn't stand the punishment of tiger bench and pepper water, so Duanmu Huai squeezed out all the information Professor Ueno knew by inflicting pain on his body and cooperating with the fear aura, and then let him die in endless pain.

Well, Professor Ueno's calculations were good. No one would find clues about what happened in the dream. And people who were killed by ghost stories in dreams seemed to disappear completely from the real world. Obviously, he planned to let the ghost stories kill Duanmu Huai and others, so that even if the police came to search, they would not find any clues, but only found that they were missing.

Coincidentally, Duanmu Huai thought so too.

At least now, even if the police cut Professor Ueno into mutton slices, they couldn't tell that he had been tortured.

This is actually true.

After that, the police took everyone to the police station to record their statements. Although the police did not say it clearly, their search direction was obviously towards suspecting that Professor Ueno's students, together with Professor Sato, had killed Professor Ueno and then fled for fear of crime. However, Duanmu Huai knew that these police officers would never expect to catch anyone in their lifetime.

After that, Duanmu Huai sent Yanami and Chitanda back home. For everything that happened before, the two seemed to regard it as a nightmare... Although Yanami picked up his phone and looked at the date in confusion, he finally confirmed that he was dreaming.

As for the club research, the two discussed it and decided to continue. After all, they also received a lot of advice and help yesterday. Just as a commemoration, they also had to finish this research report.

Duanmu Huai did not object and let them go.

But he himself was not so free.

After leaving the police station, Duanmu Huai immediately called his assistant.

"President, are you okay? I heard that something seems to have happened to Professor Ueno?"

"It's just a little accident, it's nothing."

Duanmu Huai was too lazy to talk about these things.

"I called you because I have something for you to do."

"What is it?"

"Find me a script, send me the movie script for review."

"Ah, yes..."

"Give me all of them... No, send all the action-oriented scripts to me, I will screen them later."

"Hey? President, what's wrong with you?"

It must be said that the assistant seemed quite surprised to hear Duanmu Huai's answer. After all, based on his understanding of Duanmu Huai, Duanmu Huai basically only shoots one drama every year, and this year's scenes have been shot long ago. According to reason, Duanmu Huai will come to talk to him about work next year.

But I didn't expect that he would be so proactive this time?

"I'm free anyway, just killing time."

"Okay, I'll prepare it and send it to your email address, President."

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 takes the plan to the distribution company, and after confirming that it can be distributed, he starts to set up a filming team. If it cannot be distributed and screened, then making a movie is simply a loss-making behavior. But now at least there is an online platform, and the distribution part is relatively relaxed. In the past, the distribution company held the lifeblood of a movie.

Duanmu Huai is involved in all three parts, and his biggest part is production and distribution. After all, as long as it can pass the review of the distribution company, it can start filming. Therefore, every year many freelance producers will submit their scripts to Duanmu Huai's company for cooperation.

Duanmu Huai also has his own reasons for starting to act in an uncharacteristic way.

Through the information obtained from Professor Ueno's torture, Duanmu Huai has a certain understanding of the subspace of this world.

Similar to Duanmu Huai's speculation, the subspace of this world is not close to the soul, but seems to be more close to the spiritual influence, just like puberty syndrome.

Then one of the important questions is… how to enter that world?

According to Professor Ueno, most of the ghost stories with clear signs can be used as the entrance and exit of the subspace.

As for why Duanmu Huai couldn't find Ruyue Station at the beginning, the reason is very simple. According to Professor Ueno, the clearer the goal, the more focused the public's thoughts will be. For example, in the disappearance incident in Baixue Pavilion, everyone knows that those people disappeared in Baixue Pavilion. When their thoughts are focused on Baixue Pavilion, they will open up the passage from here to the subspace.

Ruyue Station is different. Although it is stated that it is the last train in a certain area, it does not say which station it is, which blurs everyone's focus. Therefore, no matter how Duanmu Huai took the last train before, he could not enter the subspace through there.

The reason why Professor Ueno invited these guests is that he hopes to further consolidate the connection between Baixue Pavilion and the subspace by sacrificing them, and it would be best to create a passage to shuttle back and forth.

But this is not the point. The point is what Professor Ueno said, the creatures living in the subspace.

A correct version in 16-9 book and 1 forum!

According to Professor Ueno, there are some kinds 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 feel an indescribable fear similar to that of ordinary people seeing evil gods.

According to Professor Ueno, the strange creatures that attacked him and others actually have no wisdom and soul, but simply act according to the way humans think. However, there are also some strange creatures that are integrated with those subspace organisms. In simple terms, it is as if those subspace creatures are wearing the skin of strange creatures and appear in front of humans who break into that world.

Professor Ueno said that he accidentally entered that world once before, and then saw a "hachisha sama", and the moment he saw the "hachisha sama", he felt that his brain seemed to be filled with incomprehensible, garbled information and knowledge. At that time, Professor Ueno felt that his head was about to explode, but fortunately he retracted his gaze in time, so he escaped.

After that, Professor Ueno ran away like crazy, and when he came to his senses, he had returned to the White Snow Mansion. Then Professor Ueno spent several days 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, friendship, love, etc. are a bit difficult to understand, but if you push a person to the edge of a cliff, the emotion of fear will immediately appear.

Well, thinking about it this way, fear is indeed quite convenient.

Duanmu Huai didn't pay much attention to this. The creatures in the subspace are strange and varied. He has seen similar monsters before. There are also some creatures in the subspace that feed on fear. The more you fear it, the stronger it will be. It will also give you a fear DEBUFF when the war starts. If you don't purify it in time, you will only die.

So... Duanmu Huai also needs the same countermeasures.

And his choice is to fight poison with poison.

Through previous experiments, Duanmu Huai has determined that as long as he plays his role in that world, he can get a bonus of strength. Night Girl is an example. After all, she is the childhood shadow of most people, and the power bonus she brings cannot be underestimated.

But relying on Night Girl alone is not enough, and for Duanmu Huai, Night Girl's fighting style is too low.

Therefore, Duanmu Huai intends to create an image that is more powerful than Night Girl.

That's why he came to the company to choose the script.

According to experience, if you want to create an image that is powerful in the subspace, the number and strength cannot be low.

The number refers to the number of people who have seen it, and the strength is how impressed they are with the character.

Night Girl is so powerful because she is everyone's childhood shadow. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to defeat the Seven Imperials.

And it is not easy to perform a horror character that is impressive, and the scope of dissemination must be wide.

For Duanmu Huai... the easiest way is to screen it worldwide.

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 are also 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 intense.

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.

Why………………

Although there are many good scripts, in Duanmuhuai'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?
