Chapter 428 (2/2)
“Special effects” aside, the “actors” were terrific. This was especially true for the stubborn fatty, Liu Kang. His acting was beyond epic. His various expressions were enough to garner him a nomination for best supporting actor. No other actor could possibly pull this off.
It was no joke!
If you ever saw another actor replicating his performance, it only meant that he was dying for real. If not, he was only acting out his personal image of death.
Horror movies were not just about how terrifying the ghost was, but also how convincingly the ‘playthings’ of the ghost played their parts. The bar was a very steep one. No ghosts existed within Zhao Youyue’s reality. All the supernatural genre works that existed were fictional. The actors have never encountered any ghosts personally. How could you expect them to act out their fears of imaginative fairies?
Without that genuine fear, the movie would lose much of its charm. It could not be helped, unless an actor actually experiences such a scene in his dream
Then again, very few had complete recollections about their dreams. Those who did were not actually dreaming. They were receiving information from their “copies” from other worlds. Such information was highly unreliable. They might simply disconnect at any given time. Their next “dream” would feature an entirely different world.
This did not apply to Zhao Youyue. She had the “Two Dimensional Gate” at her disposal. It gave her the ability to maintain rock-solid connections.
Therefore, with the “special effects” and “acting,” any film born of such would be worth watching, even if it had a lackluster plotline. Zhao Youyue had thoroughly enjoyed watching this two-dimensional video. The “film” still lacked background music. That would not be a problem for Chu Luoxun. That musical genius would be able to come up with the perfect score for the mindblowing special effects, epic acting, and bad plot!
Music was a very powerful tool. It could turn a scary movie into a heart attack inducing one. Horror movie veterans would be all too aware of this. The music of a horror movie was practically the essence of the entire production. The same applied to live action movies. Without such effects, everything would be dull and dreary
Zhao Youyue had acted most oddly in the world. She was just as odd now. She had not felt the slightest tinge of fear as she observed the fierce ghost massacring people at a close distance within the supernatural world. Now that she was safe and sound in the real world, her own video terrified the daylight out of her!
Within the supernatural source world, she had acted just like the black cat that she was during the entire process, silently observing the extremely beautiful Chu Renmei commit her murders. Zhao Youyue had remained unperturbed throughout the entire event. But the Chu Renmei within the video was downright terrifying. Her bloodied face was enough to terrify people to death!
This film had also contained the first person perspective of the fatty Liu Kang —— the first victim. What did he actually experience?
It was tragic!
