There will definitely be no problem when Lu Ban watches this movie by himself.

He had watched so much footage before and had been tinkering with the editing for a week. If there was something wrong with the video footage, how could he not know?

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

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

Lu Ban wasn’t quite sure.

The movie basically follows Lu Ban's experience, only vaguely explaining why he came here and indirectly explaining some background. After a plot introducing the background and characters, it comes to the part where he meets Hongye and goes to investigate the missing painter.

Lu Ban had seen it countless times, so his focus was not on the picture, but on the reaction of the hammer beside him.

He found that when he saw the bloody painting that looked like a scroll from hell, Hammer's breathing stagnated for a moment.

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

"It's hard for me to describe this painting. I can't say it, but I was deeply shocked. The art of this movie is so strong. These pavilions and courtyards, did you shoot them on location abroad?"

Hammer asked quietly.

“I guess so.”

Lu Ban felt that there might really be something wrong with this video.

Because the guy who was playing the video next to him also stared at the screen with his eyes blurred, as if his attention was completely attracted by something magical.

Is it because I see it so often that I have developed immunity?

Lu Ban decided to consider the subsequent impact.

While Hammer was still intoxicated by the scenery of Uta Island and praising Lu Ban's artistic style, the plot had already entered a turning point and reached the place where Lu Ban and Momiji went up the mountain.

Under the dim torii, Lu Ban took a first-person perspective. It was all around him, with only a glimmer of light nearby.

Hammer could hear his own heartbeat, thump, thump. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching ballad rang out. He could only understand fragments of the song, but the emotions conveyed in the song penetrated deeply into Hammer's heart.

He felt his limbs go cold, and the cinema seemed to have turned into a street in a cold winter. Goose bumps appeared on his skin, and Hammer couldn't help but shiver.

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

He was naturally quite courageous and could accept normal horror movies, but this was the first time he had such a physiological reaction after watching a movie.

It was as if I had come to that long, endless torii road, standing alone in it, unable to see the beginning or the end.

For some reason, Hammer recalled a time when he 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 passing by from time to time, he would have thought he had entered a different world. In the absolute silence and darkness, fear was awakened and bred.

Everything stopped when the film passed the hem of the woman in the shrine maiden's costume.

Hammer only felt a ringing in his ears and was unable to think of anything. Then his heart beat violently and his whole body, which had been tense from a moment ago, suddenly relaxed.

In some special situations, the human body is highly tense due to concentration, and when encountering something terrifying and releasing the stress, when it completely relaxes, some muscles that should not be relaxed may also lie flat, which is why people may pee their pants when scared.

Of course, Hammer was not scared to death, but he felt as if his whole body was covered with hair, and every inch of his skin was contracting and expanding. When he came to his senses, his back was covered in sweat.

Is this scene really scary? Hammer thought about it and felt that it was not entirely so. It just resonated with his childhood experience of walking on the road at night, which made him feel a little worried. The shadow of the witch was far less shocking than the sudden appearance of a ghost face.

But why am I so scared?

I seem to have seen that witch's face somewhere before?

Hammer tried to close his eyes to ease the pain, but he found that even with his eyes closed, he could still see the witch's face.

"!"

He couldn't help but straighten himself up.

Seeing Lu Ban and Hongye walking into the shrine and seeing the shrine maidens and priests sitting in a row, Hammer couldn't help but admire the composition of the picture.

"I feel that this movie is not about the plot, but about the storyboards and the art style. It really shows the skill."

I've heard about Hammer roughly. A director's style depends on his background. Those with a background as screenwriter or producer will pay special attention to the plot and character relationships, while those with a background as photographer or art director will have a strong sense of camera.

Of course, there are also some directors whose pictures are very good, but the plots are terrible. At present, Hammer thinks that the plots of Lu Ban’s movies are quite satisfactory, which are the common horror and suspense themes.

However, when it came to playing "Hyakunin Isshu", Hammer felt something was wrong.

He felt that the entire screening room became dark.

The flickering candlelight made Hammer squint his eyes.

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

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

Moved by the scene, Hammer couldn't help but slow down his breathing. He saw Hongye walking towards the pale-faced witch holding a candle in the corner, and his heart began to hang in the air.

Hammer wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't open his mouth. His whole body seemed to be pressed down by a heavy object, unable to move. He couldn't even close his eyes. He could only watch Hongye walk step by step to the front of the ferocious witch.

"What's wrong? Am I scared?"

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

He watched the miserable and terrifying witch getting closer and closer until her face almost filled the entire screen.

Buzz——

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

Seeing this, Hammer felt that he needed to slow down.

"Let's pause for a moment while I go to the bathroom."

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

After releasing some pressure, Hammer pulled up his pants and turned on the faucet to wash his hands.

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

He looked a little haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had just been through some torture.

"This movie has such a strong atmosphere..."

He muttered something, turned off the tap, 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 onto the wall, feeling a little dizzy.

He strongly suspected that his body might collapse before he finished watching the movie!
