After returning to the company, Xiao He put the lunch box into the space, and immediately went to find Brother Jian to tell him about the script.
Brother Jian thought that they had already reached an agreement on this before.
It developed smoothly over time, but Xiao He didn't expect that the script he carefully selected would be so fierce from the beginning.
"Playing a zombie? Being the lead? And having fight scenes?"
He opened his eyes wide and was a little bit unbelieving after reading the script.
"Didn't we agree to help Xu Yizhou find an experienced role?"
“This is quite experienced.”
Xiao He vowed confidently. His eyes sparkled as he flipped through the script, and his tone was filled with obvious excitement as he said, "I'm very experienced."
Brother Jian frowned.
The imagination in this script is so wild and imaginative, what experience could she have?
"Brother Jian, just tell me, is this script good?" Xiao He asked directly.
Brother Jian nodded.
To be honest, this script is quite good. With his many years of experience, it will definitely be a hit after it is filmed, and the cost is not high. After discussing it with the company, there is a high possibility that they will agree.
But……
"Land of the Zombies" tells the story of a male protagonist who was originally a member of a zombie-clearing team. After being bitten by a zombie, he underwent various changes and went through various tests and struggles of human nature, and finally became a zombie.
"With Xu Yizhou's small body, he still wants to kill zombies? A zombie's mouth wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth."
While they were discussing this, Xu Yizhou sat nervously beside them.
Hearing this, his expression wrinkled as he silently picked up the script on the table and began to read it carefully, blocking out his own non-existence.
Xiao He didn't seem worried at all, and he looked extremely confident.
"I have a solution for this."
Brother Jian was hesitant.
This move was undoubtedly very risky, but thinking of Huo An's previous successful case, he finally nodded.
I don’t know why, but every time Xiao He faces such adjustments, he succeeds.
"Okay, I'll talk to the company about the film preparations, and you just need to be responsible for the training."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yizhou worriedly and sighed.
"Training him well is much more difficult than preparing a movie."
There was endless worry in his tone.
Xu Yizhou instantly felt tons of critical hits.
?
Are you polite?
Wouldn’t it hurt me to hear that?
The two of them quickly discussed it, and to ensure that everything would go smoothly, Xiao He took Xu Yizhou with him for special training that day.
Sitting in the car, Xu Yizhou's hand holding the script trembled slightly.
Seeing that the situation was already tense, he could not bear this injustice alone, so he immediately took out his cell phone, called Huo An, and asked him indirectly.
"Do you have time now?"
Huo An: "The filming of the crew has slowed down recently. Is there anything going on?"
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Sister Xiao He is going to give me a very interesting training. It's really fun. Do you want to come over..."
Beep beep beep——
Before he could finish his words, the call was hung up.
I called again, but Huo An's phone was turned off.
Xu Yizhou was unwilling to give up, so he turned around and gave some advice to Xiao He who was driving.
"Captain, let's go get Huo An over here too. I think he needs this training too."
Unexpectedly, Xiao He said calmly, "He's on the set, so he doesn't need to come. This time, I'll train with you one-on-one. No one else has this treatment."
Xu Yizhou:......
"Captain, I am blessed to have you."
Taking advantage of the red light, Xiao He turned around and glanced at him with a confident and bold expression.
He asked in return: "Isn't that so?"
“…”
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the grove where they had trained before.
It’s still that familiar place.
As soon as they entered, Xiao He said directly, "For the next month, you will be undergoing closed-door training. Don't worry, this training has combined my twenty years of experience. I guarantee you will master it, but the intensity may be a little stronger."
Xu Yizhou shuddered when he heard this, picked up his phone again, and with trembling hands sent a message to Huo An: [Good brother, remember to collect my body.]
Huo An, whose phone was off just now, replied immediately: [ojbk.]
Pooh!
Huo An sent an eye-rolling expression.
Then he turned off his phone and followed Xiao He inside.
This time, they went deep into the woods before finally stopping.
Xiao He stood in the open space.
"The content of this training is different from usual. In addition to physical training, more importantly, we will learn the living habits and killing methods of zombies. These will be practiced in actual combat."
Xu Yizhou listened carefully, but felt a little confused.
If you want to learn about zombies, shouldn't you ask someone more professional?
Moreover, he noticed just now that Xiao He seemed particularly excited today, especially when talking about zombies, his eyes were shining.
When the training started, Xiao He spoke very clearly.
"Zombies are a state of death caused by a virus damaging the nervous system. They are spread through wounds and viruses. According to our observations, the chance of mutation occurs within 2 minutes to 1 hour after injury, and the reaction speed is affected by the size, depth, and location of the wound."
Xu Yizhou felt that this course was a bit outrageous and was stunned by what he heard.
observe?
How to observe?
How could Xiao He say it as if he had seen it with his own eyes?
He was just wondering, but he didn't expect the next piece of knowledge to be even more outrageous.
Xiao He continued, "Although zombies don't have special abilities, they can be divided into five levels based on their physical strength and agility. Fortunately, each level of zombies has weaknesses..."
As Xu Yizhou listened, he flipped through the script in his hand.
"That doesn't seem to be in the script..."
“Isn’t this common sense?”
Xu Yizhou looked confused.
“Is… is that so?”
Xiao He smiled faintly and said, "These theoretical knowledge will be gradually added in the future. Now let's get straight to the actual combat."
After saying that, he turned around and pulled out a one-meter-long knife from behind the bushes.
In the sunlight, the cold light shines.
Xu Yizhou's head was buzzing and his face was pale.
"Do you really need such a big knife?"
"This is the most effective weapon I can find. When facing zombies in close combat, cold weapons are more effective than hot weapons."
As he spoke, Xiao He nimbly tossed the knife in his hand, made a knife flower, then turned around and jumped directly onto a tree several meters high next to him, holding his breath and looking at it with a sharp gaze.
The whole person exuded a hidden murderous aura.
At this time, a little rabbit ran out of the woods, jumping and approaching this side innocently.
Xiao He locked onto his target instantly, and in a flash, he leaped down like a tiger descending a mountain, pouncing directly at the little white rabbit.
There was a flash of cold light, and the knife was swung out, bringing up a gust of wind and attacking with the force of thunder. When it was about to chop down, it froze at the back of the rabbit's neck with amazing control.
During the whole process, the little white rabbit seemed to be unaware and was still eating grass.
Xu Yizhou was completely stunned.
Although I already knew that Xiao He was very powerful, I never thought he could achieve this level!
It’s so awesome!
From the soul to the body, it is a thorough dimensionality reduction attack!
He was so excited that he couldn't help clapping. As soon as the sound was heard, the little rabbit was scared and ran away.
Xiao He turned around and handed the knife to him.
"It's simple, right? Try the moves I just did. You can walk only after you learn them."
"Simple?!"
Xu Yizhou widened his eyes.
That's simply not an action that a human can perform, okay?
Xiao He: "If you can't even learn this, how can you be the protagonist? Where's your passion for acting?"
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou quickly calmed down.
"Do the protagonists of other zombie movies have to learn this too?"
How would Xiao He know?
She didn't bring anyone else with her.
But facing Xu Yizhou's hesitation at this moment, she remained calm and nodded without any psychological burden.
As for how to understand it, it depends on his own imagination.
Sure enough, a light immediately flashed in Xu Yizhou's eyes and he made up his mind.
"Then I'll start practicing now!"
After saying that, he took the knife.
When he held it in his hand, he found that the knife was very heavy. It was very difficult to just hold it in his hand, let alone swing it. He didn't know how Xiao He did it just now.
He held the knife, imitated Xiao He's movements, struck a handsome pose, and then jumped up with force.
As soon as the toes left the ground, they quickly fell back down, appearing to be inseparable from Mother Earth.
Jumped up.
But not much.
Xiao He: ...
I can't bear to watch it.
Xu Yizhou was obviously not convinced. He kept jumping up and down. After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't jump up successfully.
After half an hour, Xiao He couldn't stand it any longer and called him.
"Xu Yizhou, come here."
Xu Yizhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran over happily.
"Don't you need to practice anymore?"
"I'm asking you to change places. The grass under that tree is almost being trampled to death by you. It's so pitiful. Change the tree and continue practicing."
After saying that, he looked at the tender grass with heartache. It was now completely bald. If he could speak, he would have scolded Xu Yizhou to death.
Xiao He could only settle for the second best and proceed step by step.
"Your physical fitness is not yet sufficient. You should do some basic exercises before trying to hunt zombies."
After saying that, he quietly led the hamster out and started training.
Xu Yizhou is passionate about acting and he was really determined this time, but after a while, he just couldn't keep up the physical strength.
His physical strength had been exhausted, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he lay on the ground with a painful expression, not even having the strength to move.
Xiao He saw it, but didn't urge him.
Just then, Brother Jian called her, and she walked away with her phone in hand.
Xu Yizhou rested for a while, and then realized that something was wrong.
In the past, if Xiao He saw him resting, he would have let the hamster chase him around, but today he did nothing.
He was used to being scolded, and suddenly being relaxed made him feel uneasy.
So he hesitated for a while, got up, tiptoed behind the tree, and heard Xiao He talking on the phone with Brother Jian.
"I've shown the script to the company, and they think the story is good and filmable, but they're still a little worried about Xu Yizhou playing the male lead. How's the training going? Are you confident?"
Xiao He stood under the tree with a relaxed tone.
"I should be able to train well in a month."
Brother Jian: "What if it doesn't meet the standards? Have you thought of a solution?"
Hearing this, Xiao He said without hesitation: "If there is still no effect after practicing for a month, then just feed the hamsters."
When Brother Jian on the opposite side heard this, he thought she was joking and burst into laughter.
"Are you kidding me?"
How big is a hamster? How could it possibly eat people?
This is not the zombie world written in the script.
At this time, Xu Yizhou, who was hiding behind the tree, was scared to death.
Hey! Hamster!
He looked back nervously at the giant hamster not far away that was taller than himself and felt like it could swallow him in one bite.
Immediately shook his head wildly.
No, no.
Xiao He was not joking at all, every word he said was true!
Brother Jian is still smiling.
Xiao He did not answer: silence.
After a few seconds, his laughter became quieter and quieter, and finally stopped silently. I could feel a murderous aura through the phone.
"This should be... a joke, right?"
This time, there was a lot more hesitation in his voice.
Xiao He said at this time: "Brother Jian, you can reassure them. In a month, Xu Yizhou will be the most suitable actor."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
I just got back and saw Xu Yizhou doing sit-ups at a lightning speed. His body kept falling down and standing up, so fast that it left an afterimage, as if he was the reincarnation of a spring spirit.
Even the hamster was frightened and sat there blankly, holding its big melon seed.
Xiao He walked over with some surprise.
"Are you finally enjoying exercise?"
Xu Yizhou, doing sit-ups at lightning speed, replied, "I don't know what fun is, but I suddenly feel the importance of life."
After he finished training, Xiao He started the second project.
"Later in the movie, you will transform into a zombie. I have prepared some tools to help you try on the zombie makeup and learn the movements and habits of zombies."
After saying that, she skillfully took out the props and helped Xu Yizhou put on makeup.
In a short while, the sunny boy with fair complexion just now disappeared, and turned into a zombie with a rotten body and a sunken face.
"That's about it."
Xiao He nodded with satisfaction and began to explain the habits of zombies.
As soon as Xu Yizhou finished listening, he tried to walk around.
"Am I doing this right?"
"No, you need to walk more rigidly, get rid of your brain's control over your body, don't act according to common sense, and slow down your movements."
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou thought seriously for a while, lowered his shoulders slightly, his eyes became dull, and he walked towards him with stiff limbs, with a sense of deliberate distortion.
A living zombie!
A glimmer flashed in Xiao He's eyes.
DNA moves!
She moved suddenly, and the cold light of the blade flashed by, and attacked with murderous intent!
Xu Yizhou was still immersed in the experience of performing a zombie. When he turned around, he was faced with a sharp knife.
Xiao He had reached out to him without knowing when, his eyes cold and expressionless, his body tense, the knife in his hand pressed against his neck.
A breeze blew.
A few hairs fell from the back of Xu Yizhou's neck, and were very obvious in the sunlight.
His legs suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground.
"Captain? What are you doing?"
Xiao He held the knife in his hand, clearly in the motion of beheading a zombie. He slowly retracted it and said, "Sorry, I saw the back of your neck and couldn't help it."
Xu Yizhou:? ! !
He quickly raised his hand to cover his neck, and all the hair on his body stood up.
It's so scary.
Xiao He's clean and neat movements just now, his silent approach, and the fierce light emanating from his body, were as if he had really fought with zombies.
And definitely more than once!
At this moment, Xiao He smiled, his facial features bright and vivid in the sunlight.
"But judging from the side, it means you acted like a zombie very well and realistically. Keep going."
Afterwards, Xu Yizhou remained in seclusion and underwent various special trainings.
Xiao He seemed to be very familiar with zombies. Whether it was the apocalyptic environment, the characteristics and habits of zombies, or the hunting methods, she could tell them all, as if she could really construct such a doomsday world.
A month later, Brother Jian called and said that the preparations for "Zombie Land" had been finalized.
Because this is a new work, everyone from the director to the actors are young actors, and the company does not want to invest too much money, so it can only be temporarily classified as a low-budget movie.
During this period, several other actors have been finalized, leaving only the final male lead.
After Xiao He received the call, he brought Xu Yizhou to the set that day.
The scene was grand. In addition to director Li Weilai, several senior executives of the company were also present, as well as several recently confirmed actors who were not famous and looked like unfamiliar faces at first glance.
When she arrived, Brother Jian whispered with a gloomy face, "Actually, the company wants another actor to play this role, but since you negotiated the script, they want to hear your opinion first. If Xu Yizhou doesn't perform well today, he might be replaced on the spot."
Xiao He nodded slightly, not panicking.
"I see."
At this time, several senior executives from Blue Star Entertainment came over and looked behind Xiao He.
"Are you all ready? Where's Xu Yizhou? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Xiao He smiled faintly.
"He arrived half an hour ago."
Hearing this, several people were puzzled and frowned, thinking that Xiao He was joking.
"We've all been here the whole time, and we've never seen him show up. If he doesn't come again..."
He had just said this when a gentle breeze blew by, and a rustling sound came from the banyan tree next to him.
Amidst the tiny sounds, a dark shadow flashed by in the corner of his eye, accompanied by the sharp light of a cold weapon, and Xu Yizhou fell to the ground quietly like a leaf.
After not seeing him for a month, he seemed like a completely different person.
His eyes were sharp, and his calmness showed the traces of time erosion, which were marks left only after the test of humanity in the end times.
His originally thin figure had become more agile, his skin had become very white, and when he pursed his lips, he looked compassionate and stubborn.
The knife in his hand was extremely sharp. Although it did not leave the knife's body, it was already against Brother Jian's neck the moment it landed.
If it were the end of the world now, and if Brother Jian was a zombie, he would most likely have been shot dead.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, all terrified.
Brother Jian looked shocked.
"Xu Yizhou?! When did you arrive?"
"Half an hour ago."
Brother Jian was shocked again. "Have you been hiding in the tree? We were standing here the whole time and we didn't even notice you!"
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou smiled, stopped his movements, and stood obediently beside Xiao He. The heavy murderous aura and heaviness on his body disappeared in an instant, and he turned back into the cute boy he used to be.
He eagerly asked Xiao He:
"Captain, did I meet the assessment standards?"
Xiao He commented, "When you jumped down, the amplitude of your movements was a bit too big, but low-level zombies move slowly, so they wouldn't notice if you moved too much."
"Can we finish the training now, Mom?"
"it's over."
As soon as he got this answer, Xu Yizhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.
Brother Jian and the others were stunned as they listened to the conversation between the two.
In fact, when Xiao He said that he would conduct targeted training on Xu Yizhou, he had been a little worried.
After all, this is a zombie movie, which is different from Huo An’s previous experiences, but unexpectedly, it would be so successful!
Several company executives stood aside and did not speak for a long time. Although they managed to remain calm, if you looked closely, you would find that their fists were clenched and their pupils were slightly dilated.
"A Xu Yizhou like this should be able to play the leading male role, right?" Xiao He asked.
The company executives looked at each other, but before they could say anything, another excited voice sounded not far away.
"Yes! Absolutely!"
Li Weiwei ran over with an excited expression.
After not seeing him for a month, he looked thinner, with big dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been very tired from the movie recently. But now his eyes were shining, staring straight at Xu Yizhou, as if his whole body was lit up, bursting with powerful vitality, and he ran over in a flash.
He grabbed Xu Yizhou excitedly and observed him carefully. The more he looked, the more excited and happy he became.
"It's you! It's you!"
His face was filled with ecstasy, and he shouted excitedly: "You are the male lead of "Zombieland"! It's exactly the same picture that appeared in my mind when I wrote the script!"
Seeing this, several company executives nodded.
The scene of Xu Yizhou's appearance just now also left them with a huge shock.
Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao He's casting before, it now seems that they were completely overthinking it.
"It seems we've found the perfect male lead. I hope the film goes smoothly and becomes a big hit!"
After saying that, they left the set one after another.
Xiao He turned around and saw Li Weiwei still surrounding Xu Yizhou and marveling at him.
"I can't believe it, Xiao He. How did you do that? I've seen his performance videos, and he's completely different now. He...he's simply perfect now!"
His expression was excited, as if he saw the character he had created actually appear before him.
Xiao He: "I said, give me a month, and I will give you a real male lead."
"That's right! That's right!"
Li Weiwei nodded excitedly.
In the past month, his life has experienced great ups and downs. From a newly graduated assistant director, he suddenly had to lead the filming of a movie and bring his own creation to the big screen.
In order to ensure that all his efforts would not go to waste, he personally participated in almost every step. Despite being exhausted, the most important male protagonist had not yet appeared.
He was so worried that he hadn't slept well for half a month, but now when he saw Xu Yizhou, his heart was completely at ease.
I’m so eager to start filming right now!
"I can't wait any longer, so why not try shooting a clip today to determine the style?"
Soon, the staff on site took action.
In the past month of practice, Li Weilai has been preparing for the crew. Both the staff and the on-site props have been prepared.
Soon, a doomsday ruin was built.
Although it is simple, it makes it more realistic.
Several extras wearing zombie makeup stood not far away.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the makeup artist Li Weiwei hired was quite good. The zombies were surprisingly realistic...
DNA is stirring again.
What Li Weilai is going to shoot is a short clip of more than ten seconds, which combines literary and martial arts scenes and can best reflect an actor's ability.
As soon as the call to start shooting came, Xu Yizhou immediately got into the mood.
To be precise, he has been in great form for the past month and has completely immersed himself in the role.
He was dressed in a neat black suit, with two pistols hanging on his waist and a sharp dagger in his hand. He jumped directly from the high platform and attacked several zombies in the distance.
The movement was so fast that it seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.
The extras obviously didn't expect him to be so fast, and showed surprised expressions on their faces, but they still remembered their identities, roared, and waved their hands to catch him.
Just as the zombie was about to be hit, Xu Yizhou's body instantly showed a strong control ability, stopped abruptly, and then suddenly jumped into the air to avoid the zombie's claws.
At the same time, the dagger in his hand was unsheathed!
In a flash, several zombies fell to the ground.
All this happened in just ten seconds. Xu Yizhou's movements were clean and neat, without any delay, which stunned everyone.
Even the film's martial arts instructor was shocked at this moment, and even felt a sense of loss that the crew no longer needed him and he could pack up and leave now.
In the picture, Xu Yizhou's performance has not yet ended.
After killing several zombies, he slowly put away his knife and tore off the black cloth that covered his face. There was no joy on his face, but instead deep sadness and pain.
He is still a teenager.
There were scars on his young face, tears slowly welled up in his eyes, and his body seemed to be separated in an instant, kneeling beside a zombie corpse with his head lowered.
His drooping hair covered his face, but the sadness that overflowed the screen was even stronger.
He raised his hand, slowly closed the zombie's wide-open eyes, and covered his face with the black cloth in his hand.
And then he just knelt there motionless.
The thrilling action scenes in the beginning and the inner drama now without a single line of dialogue, which relies entirely on acting, form two extremes, but they are both perfectly performed.
In an instant, the entire set fell silent.
The short ten-second shot shocked them so much that they couldn't calm down for a long time.
Is this still the Xu Yizhou who was kicked out of the crew by countless directors?
Or is it Xu Yizhou, the one whose dark history is everywhere and who makes everyone laugh every time he opens his eyes?
Rather than being reborn, he seemed to have been rebuilt from the ground up.
After a long while, Li Weiwei was the first to stand up. His face flushed with excitement, and he raised his hands high to applaud vigorously.
"well!"
He shouted twice, then turned around excitedly and held Xiao He's hand tightly.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
After saying that, he hurried towards Xu Yizhou and spoke excitedly.
From a distance, Xiao He could clearly hear his voice, praising Xu Yizhou to the sky.
After a while, Xu Yizhou, with a shy face and flushed cheeks, ran over like a little butterfly and circled around Xiao He twice.
"Sister, sister, the director said I acted well! They all said I acted well! I can act in movies! I can finally be on the big screen!"
He spoke excitedly.
Xiao He said, "The filming after the start of filming is the biggest test. You must shoot well. Once this movie is released, you will be a big hit!"
"good!"
The little butterfly nodded excitedly, flapped its wings, and went to find others to celebrate.
Several extras were about to remove their makeup. When they saw him coming, they greeted him happily and looked at him with envy.
“Your acting is really good.”
"Yeah, when you rushed over just now, I was scared. I thought you were really going to kill me, a zombie."
"You acted well in the drama, too. I was almost moved to tears. If we had acting skills like you, we wouldn't have been scolded by the director when we were on the set before."
Xu Yizhou was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Don't you know me?"
The extras all shook their heads.
Xu Yizhou: "If you just search online, you'll find hundreds of negative stories about me. They all stem from directors kicking me out of productions because of my poor acting. Everyone knows my acting is the worst."
Several people were surprised.
"But the performance you just gave was the best I've ever seen!"
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou smiled sheepishly and said, "That's because I've been through special training. I know the habits of zombies and how to hunt them. It's already become muscle memory, so I appear skilled. Didn't you learn this lesson during your training?"
The extras all shook their heads.
"Do you still need to attend classes while filming?"
Xu Yizhou was stunned.
He remembered that when Xiao He asked him to participate in training before, he vowed that every actor in a zombie movie would receive training.
He couldn't believe it and said, "Before filming a zombie movie, don't we have to take classes to learn about the levels and habits of zombies, and also practice hunting zombies and actual combat drills?"
Unexpectedly, several extras became even more confused.
"No, I've never heard of such a thing."
After getting this answer, Xu Yizhou's worldview collapsed.
Over the past month, he had been training hard under Xiao He's direction, learning all sorts of strange things, thinking that since the other actors were learning them, he had to learn them too.
But he didn't expect that he was the only one taking this kind of class?!
"Are you okay?"
Seeing his devastated look, the extras asked, "Your acting is so good now, why don't you teach us?"
Xu Yizhou came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and with a look of indifference that seemed to see through life and death, he replied, "I don't have any acting skills, it's all experience, all the experience my agent helped me train."
There was a hint of bitterness in the voice.
Several extras followed his gaze and spotted Xiao He standing not far away. They said in surprise:
"So that person is your agent! Her eyes are so scary!"
"That's right, right. As soon as we walked out of the dressing room, I felt like she was watching us. I was so scared that I broke out in sweat and had a chill on the back of my neck. It was weird."
They talked in low voices.
When Xu Yizhou heard this, he felt the same way because he had experienced this feeling before.
He comforted them skillfully and said:
"Don't be afraid, she's very easygoing. She only kills zombies, not humans."
Extras:!!!
What kind of devilish speech is this?
At this time, Xiao He was discussing the script settings with Li Weilai.
"Unlike what's portrayed in many movies and TV shows, zombies can actually appear during the day. Their damage is to their nervous systems, and their complications don't involve photophobia. So in the script, even when traveling during the day, the protagonists need to be extra cautious and not make such a big show of it."
Li Weiwei listened very carefully and nodded frequently.
"That seems to be the case! Why didn't I think of it before? I'm glad you reminded me."
Xiao He added, "Also, after being bitten by a zombie, if the limbs are far away from the head and are severed within five minutes, there's a 50% chance of survival. However, if the hand is on the chest or back, then there's almost no hope of survival."
"Okay, okay, I'll make adjustments to the plot right away."
Li Weilai listened and took notes, feeling as if he had found a treasure.
Although there are many descriptions of zombies in the current literary system, many of them are contradictory and difficult to be self-consistent. There are very few that form a system like Xiao He's.
Li Weiwei felt that they had met too late, and at the same time felt a little confused.
"How come you're so familiar with zombies?"
Hearing this question, Xiao He turned around and looked at Li Weilai.
Xiao He has a pair of very deep almond-shaped eyes, his pupils are dark and deep. When he stares at others, there is a thrilling sense of silence.
She smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "I said I saw it with my own eyes. Do you believe me?"
Xu Yizhou conquered everyone present with a performance of more than ten seconds.
As the director and screenwriter, Li Weilai was the most excited and couldn't wait to start filming.
As a low-cost movie, "Zombieland" has almost all unknown newcomers from the director to the actors to the staff.
With such a strong momentum, the filming process went surprisingly smoothly.
It was not until halfway through the filming that Brother Jian suddenly found Xiao He and asked about the subsequent publicity plan.
"The film's specs are too low. The only person with traffic is Xu Yizhou, but he doesn't have many fans, so there won't be much publicity, which will affect the release date. We need to start thinking about publicity now."
Xiao He had been going back and forth between Huo An and Xu Yizhou's crews for a while now. She didn't know much about the entertainment industry in this world and had indeed not considered this matter.
When Brother Jian mentioned it, I immediately hesitated.
At this time, Brother Jian suggested: "Why not find a few well-known actors to guest star? Or ask them to repost and promote it."
This is a common routine used in low-budget movies. Although it will increase the cost, it has to be done.
Xiao He thought about it, but rejected his idea.
"Xu Yizhou just filmed a good clip a while ago, and I think it can be used as a promotional video."
"ah?!"
Brother Jian exclaimed. "You're going to use a short film for promotion? What if the audience doesn't respond well? The whole movie will be ruined. It's too risky."
Xiao He smiled, very calm.
"It's been two months since I last asked netizens to help with supervision. It's time to hand in my homework."
Brother Jian was silent for a while.
"I thought the bet was just a publicity stunt. Are you really planning on doing this?"
Xiao He said firmly, "Of course, I have to keep my word. I'll discuss with the director and edit that clip and release it as a promotional video."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and went to discuss with Li Weilai. They cut out the footage of Xu Yizhou's first day of trial shooting and asked an editor to make it into a short film.
The next night, it was released in the evening.
Brother Jian actually still thinks this idea is too risky.
Even a talented actor at the level of a movie emperor wouldn't dare to do this, but Xiao He confronted him head-on.
So brave!
He was not so brave. On the day the promotional video was released, he was so nervous that he logged off the Internet for half a day.
When I finally mustered up the courage, I turned on the internet and pulled up the news about Zombieland.
Big bang!
