I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

After returning from Jiangcheng Mental Hospital, Lu Jian felt much more comfortable.

He came into contact with real mental patients, and obtained a lot of first-hand information in the communication and chat with them.

In the past, Lu Lian only had a superficial understanding of mental illness. Just like many other ordinary people, he felt that mental illness was bizarre, incomprehensible, weird, and unable to communicate.

But in actual contact, Lu Yi feels that these patients suffering from diseases are actually the same as ordinary people, but their way of thinking has some deviations due to the disease.

For example, typical hypochondria, they seem to be neurotic, always fearing or hating something that does not exist at all, but in fact, they just often have delusions, and regard their imagination as reality. Just imagine, if in reality There is an ugly creature by your side, you will also want to drive it away, and patients with hypochondria have made normal and reasonable actions, that is to say, in addition to treating delusions as reality, they and Normal people are no different.

Even, some delusional patients will construct a worldview that belongs to them, and act in accordance with the rules of this worldview. From this point of view, they are actually quite normal in their delusions, even compared to many people who don't know what they do every day. Normal people who are thinking about something are more normal.

Knowing this, the mind of a mental patient can be captured.

The reason why Lu Jian wants to study mental patients is to learn their unreasonable characteristics.

As we all know, the scariest part of horror-themed works is the incomprehensible monsters or dangers.

When the protagonists don't know what is being chased, killed, or threatened, and when they don't know when the other party will emerge from where, it is the scariest time.

If those ghosts can be understood, seen through, or even eliminated, then the sense of horror will completely disappear.

In a horror game, if you only have a flashlight, you can scare the player half to death with anything that pops up, but if you give the player a loaded gun, the player will just yell for more monsters. only.

Dangers that cannot be resisted and can only be avoided will cause people's uneasiness.

And psychopaths fit that very well.

In many works, just the appearance of a mental patient is enough to exaggerate the horror atmosphere. If the patient is still unkempt and haggard, holding a tattered baby doll and singing one or two nursery rhymes, it is absolutely shocking. Impressive.

Lu Jian returned home,

The TV is still on, and what is playing in it are those small industrial manufacturing videos on the Internet that are used to decompress, this time it is the making of mirrors.

He saw that Lu Jian in the mirror seemed to like watching these, staring intently at the screen.

The two clouds of mist on the sofa didn't care at all, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lu Yi came to the computer, opened the document, and began to record today's experience.

Three days later, the last day of April, the May Day holiday is about to begin. On the afternoon of the 30th, everyone has no intention of working and is only thinking about how to spend this holiday.

But for the theater staff, this holiday is not idle.

During the May Day Golden Week, many movies will also be released, bringing the beginning of the summer season, including "Madman's Mouth".

The pre-sale box office of "Madman's Mouth" is close to 50 million, which is already an excellent result for a horror and thriller work. You must know that the total box office of many similar movies is only so much. Most of the horror movies that have deep roots with B-grade movies are synonymous with low cost and low box office.

After all, there are big productions and big investments, so who wants to make horror movies? Wouldn’t it be good to make some superhero movies or disaster movies?

Horror movies are cheap.

May 1st, zero o'clock.

Premiere of Mouth of a Madman.

Countless audiences flocked to the movie theater at night, just to see what is the first work under Lu Yi's horror film worldview.

Bai Qiquan, a student of Yannan Communication University, and his girlfriend Pang Zhen are also one of them.

Bai Qiquan has been studying horror movies recently. After the baptism of "Crying", Bai Qiquan began to be interested in horror movies. He didn't watch many horror movies before. During this time, he was crazy about making up for it. He didn't even play B-level movies. However, for him, the routines of horror movies are already familiar.

It’s nothing more than something popping up out of nowhere to scare you, using some disgusting things to make people disgusted, plus ketchup, severed limbs, chainsaws, matching scenes such as hospitals, mental institutions, and schools.

He is going to prepare the content of his graduation thesis this year, and Bai Qiquan is still thinking about whether to choose a topic for horror film research.

Walking into the cinema, Bai Qiquan saw that many people were still smiling.

This is also normal, because of the previous fire of "Crying", horror movies have begun to enter the public's sight, and more and more people have begun to watch these horror movies, and this time the pre-sale box office is also because of this reason.

In other words, many viewers actually just joined in the fun of the midnight premiere today, and they didn't have any intuitive understanding of Lu Yi's horror films before.

Bai Qiquan gloated a little, but when he thought about it carefully, he was also sitting in the audience, and he didn't know who was more ugly.

He stopped talking.

When the movie started, he calmed down and watched the movie.

After more than a hundred minutes.

Accompanied by the play of the credits and the ending song, there was silence in the huge movie theater.

Bai Qiquan looked at the screen, his mind went blank.

It's not the same as being scared, or feeling frightened.

If watching "Crying" and Lu Juan's other works brought him intuitive fear, the sense of horror that turned into a poisonous snake and entangled himself, then this film gave him the feeling of It's like forcing a lot of things into his head.

Some people have such an experience when they were young. They used to only live in their own homes, between kindergarten and elementary school. They felt that the world was very small and only so big. But one time, they suddenly saw something huge, such as the sea. , such as the boundless starry sky, such as those huge and busy cities, the feeling at that moment is what Bai Qiquan perceives.

It was a feeling of fear that he couldn't control, understand, or recognize. When the credits were over and the lights of the cinema were turned on, Bai Qiquan cried.

He felt that his life seemed meaningless, everything was hypocritical, just like the protagonists in the movie, just like the famous artist, no effort he made could stop the world from moving forward in the direction of destruction.

This movie is like a switch. After pressing it, the whole person becomes nothingness.

"Lu Jian, this man is so terrifying!"

During the sage's time, Bai Qiquan was full of emotions.
