Through the Window: Lin Luoxue's Lazy Cousin

Page 426

Lin Luoxue also woke up from her sleep and looked at the door in horror.

Snapped!

The lights in the corridor have been turned off!

A series of footsteps approached from afar!

The terrifying sense of oppression came rushing in.

The fright caused many students in the class to accidentally get the substance in their eyes.

Even Yu Hao, who was filming along with them, was no exception.

He felt as if he had stepped into the role of Lin Luoxue and was facing this monster.

She tugged at Xiao Haiyang's sleeve, cautiously watching the screen.

They were afraid the monster would jump out.

Then came several more rounds of psychological maneuvering.

Finally, the ghost appeared directly at the head of the bed and turned off the bedroom lights in front of all the viewers.

Then came the female protagonist's terrified scream.

"what!!!!"

"Brother Hao!!!" Xiao Haiyang shouted, covering his ears, "The female lead is yelling, why are you yelling too!"

"This whole horror short film isn't as scary as your scream!"

The others also looked at Yu Hao with panic, their faces filled with fear.

"I'm scared!"

Yu Hao, still shaken, stared at the big screen: "We were all there during filming, so why didn't it feel scary?"

“I already said it,” Su Chen explained, “When you’re filming, there are countless people with you. You’re involved in the whole process from the appearance of the ghost to the end. You don’t have that sense of the unknown, so of course it’s not scary.”

"Wow!!!"

Zhong Bai clapped his hands and said, "Wow, that's amazing! So this is what the final product looks like!"

"It felt scary, but not completely scary."

Su Chen laughed and said, "If you watch this horror movie, you'll only be scared by the jump scares; it's actually just average."

Ye Jiping continued, "But when you go to the toilet at night, or when you turn off the lights to sleep, it gives you a lingering, unforgettable feeling~"

Upon hearing this, everyone swallowed hard.

"Um..." Jiang Yunming asked tremulously, "Does the power go out in the boys' dormitory at night?"

"What do you think?" the others replied.

Jiang Yunming took out his phone and tapped it.

Ren Yifan asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll prepare a few power banks and buy a few bedside lamps." Jiang Yunming thought for a moment, "and also buy a high-powered flashlight."

The others looked at each other.

They all picked up their phones and started buying things.

"Is it really that scary?" Ren Yifan asked doubtfully. "I don't think it's that scary at all."

"Actually, it's alright~"

Lu Qiaochuan wasn't quite sure either, although he was frightened by some of the parts.

But actually, they're all acceptable.

Honestly, this script isn't as scary as that zombie script.

This looks fake.

It was written so realistically that it even described the habits of zombies in great detail, as if you had actually seen them.

It's so scary.

...

Looking at his classmates, Ye Jiping smiled with satisfaction and said, "See? This is the combination of cinematic language and psychology."

"Every scare happens precisely when you relax."

"Just when you think everything is fine, something unexpected happens, which is called a reversal."

"These reversals are both unexpected and reasonable, which is why they resonate so deeply with people."

Everyone nodded.

They never imagined that, without any dialogue, they could create such a short film simply by using camera angles and controlling the rhythm.

"correct."

Ye Jiping looked up: "Our major is somewhat related to film and television awards. Why don't we send your film to them and see if we can win an award?"

"Sure," Su Chen said, seemingly unconcerned.

"Really?~" Yu Hao clapped his hands. "Does that mean our film might also win an award?"

Xiao Haiyang remarked with emotion, "I never imagined that my first film would possibly win an award."

"I feel truly honored. Once I receive the trophy, I will definitely show it to my family."

"Oh my~ then I must be the best editor?" Lu Qiaochuan said proudly, "After all, being able to edit a film like this also demonstrates my talent."

Bi Shisan: "I absolutely deserve the Best Documentary Award for Bamboo."

"Are you all crazy?!" Ren Yifan looked at the group in shock. "Are you sure those grotesque things you filmed can get so many awards?"

Everyone nodded: "We're a feature film."

Ren Yifan: "..."

"I always thought I had a thick skin, but I didn't expect you guys to be even thicker than me!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" everyone said in unison again.

The amusing scene made Li Shuci and the others laugh.

It dispelled much of my earlier fear.

"Teacher, are you really going to submit this short film for awards?" Lin Luoxue asked with a hint of doubt, "I don't think it'll be suitable."

"of course not!"

Ye Jiping looked at Xiao Haiyang and the others: "Of course I will cut out all those filler scenes!"

"Because their presence will affect the quality of the entire film!"

Xiao Haiyang asked loudly, "Teacher! Are you implying that our footage is substandard?"

"A hint?" Ye Jiping shook his head: "I'm making it explicit!"

"I will cut out all the footage before Su Chen's short film!"

Bi Shisan frowned, shook his head, and then sighed.

Anjie explained, "Our president said that you would lose the honor of Best Documentary Short Film if you did this."

Lu Qiaochuan: "It was just a breath, can you explain that much?"

“Of course!” Anjie said, giving Su Chen a provocative look.

Su Chen: ? ? ?

Ye Jiping glanced at the time; the class was almost over.

He asked, "There are about ten minutes left before the first class ends. Does anyone want to use this time to show their video?"

As soon as these words came out.

The classroom was quiet for a few seconds before the discussion began.

"With crude oil prices rising today, I think I won't be buying a car this year."

"Really? Me too. Gas is always ridiculously expensive, so I had to sell my private jet."

"Hey, luckily you sold them early. As for me, those submarines in the sea are just sitting there, nobody wants them."

"..."

Listening to these kinds of people talk about increasingly outrageous topics.

Ye Jiping slammed his hand on the table: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"It's just showing a video, why are you so scared? Or are you all just trying to fool me?"

As Ye Jiping's gaze swept over them, everyone lowered their heads.

A silence.

Su Chen suddenly spoke up: "Teacher Ye, see through things but don't say it out loud."

Everyone: "..."
