When we arrived at the hotel, Xie Lei helped Song Qi register and opened a room, then sent him upstairs before saying goodbye and leaving.

Today is the day when the participants will be present, and he has to go to the airport to pick them up.

There is catering on the plane, but the three-hour flight, even in the first-class cabin, the meals are relatively mediocre.

So, Song Qi just ate a little bit, and after getting off the plane, he was a little hungry.

Just as he was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, there was a knock on Song Qi's door.

He thought it was Xie Lei who had left and returned, but when Song Qi opened the door, he found a thin middle-aged man with long hair standing outside the door.

When the man saw Song Qi, he immediately greeted Song Qi enthusiastically, and introduced himself: "Hello, Director Song, let me introduce myself, my name is Wang Xingren, and I'm also a horror movie maker, my colleague."

Wang Xingren?
Song Qi had a strange expression on his face.

Seeing this, the man smiled wryly and said, "The name my parents gave me has a good meaning. You can call me Lao Wang."

"Oh, Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Song Qi smiled and said politely.

"Don't, be ashamed and ashamed!"

Wang Xingren smiled and said, "I can't afford to be a teacher in front of you, so I'm just a little older than you, so just call me Lao Wang!"

"Then it's Brother Wang!"

Song Qi asked politely, "What can you do with me?"

"Have you eaten yet?" Wang Xingren asked.

"Not yet, I'm about to go out to eat!"

"That's good, let's go out to eat together?"

Wang Xingren explained: "There are many directors and actors who make horror movies in the association. We have a group where we often chat or make an appointment to have a meal. This time we come to the meeting, it is rare for us to get together, so we plan to go out for dinner together in the afternoon. meal.

Coincidentally, I heard that you are coming this year, so I wanted to ask you to come and sit with me. If you have nothing to do, why don't you go together? "

"That's it!"

Song Qi was a little moved.

Wang Xingren joked: "Let's go together! It stands to reason that you can be regarded as the person who carries the banner of our horror movie category now, but we haven't met each other yet, so you must give us old guys a chance to learn from it?"

"Brother Wang criticized me."

Song Qi nodded with a smile and said, "I really want to meet all the seniors, but I never had the chance."

"Then stop talking, let's go!"

Wang Xingren laughed and waved: "You don't need to bring anything, the car is waiting downstairs!"

Song Qi turned around and took the room card, followed Wang Xingren downstairs, and there was indeed a commercial vehicle parked in front of the hotel.

The driver was a fat man with a bald head, and the flesh on the back of his head was piled together. Seeing Song Qi getting into the car with Wang Xingren, he let out a haha ​​and smiled brightly: "It's really here!"

"Director Song, hello, hello, I finally see you."

The fat man turned around, shook hands with Song Qi, then took out the cigarette case from the car, and handed it over: "Burn one?"

"no thank you."

Song Qi declined, and turned around to look inside the car.

There were three other people sitting in the car, all men, all in their 40s and [-]s, and Song Qi was the youngest.

Wang Xingren introduced to Song Qi that the bald and fat man was called Ma Biao, and like the other three, he was a director of horror movies.

It's just that Ma Biao is specialized in making big online movies, while the rest of them, like Wang Xingren, are all making theater movies.

They have been in the industry for more than ten years, and they are all Song Qi's seniors.

But in front of Song Qi, they were very polite, even a bit courteous.

After chatting, Song Qi understood the reason.

It turns out that these directors have followed suit and made monster movies, including Wang Xingren.

The "Poisonous Python" is the work of Wang Xingren.

Talking about monster movies, they were quite emotional. Wang Xingren said that "Poison Python" is the highest-grossing movie he has ever made in his life. enough money to buy a house.

The situation of other people was similar to his. After learning about this reason, Song Qi knew why they were being extra polite to him.

From a certain point of view, Song Qi actually gave them a bite to eat.

Before following the trend and making monster movies, they were all unknown directors in the circle.

But after following suit, they gained a certain amount of fame, and now they are soft on receiving films, and their income has doubled several times.

So for Song Qi, they had a certain sense of gratitude.

But from another perspective, they were also courteous to Song Qi, and there was also a certain element of fear in it.

Following the trend is not a risk-free thing, on the contrary, the risk of following the trend is great.

One of the biggest risks is copyright disputes.

Whether it is Wang Xingren or the others, they are all dancers dancing on the tip of the knife.

Since it is following the trend, it means imitating other people's movie elements.

For example, in Wang Xingren's "Poisonous Python", there is a crudely made huge python.

Although the characteristics of the poisonous python are not the same as the giant snake in "Snake God Apep", the story rhythm and core logic of the movie are very similar to "Snake God Apep".

In this case, it is very likely that Song Qi will be sued for copyright infringement, and basically every accusation will be confirmed.

But Song Qi didn't sue them just because they followed suit, it was like giving them a big hand, letting them go, and giving them a bite to eat.

But even so, the copyright issue is always hanging over their heads like a sword of Damocles, and it may fall at any time.

Maybe Song Qi got upset one day and sued them, and they would still have a hard time.

So, when they asked Song Qi out, they also wanted to establish a good relationship with Song Qi and reduce the risk. By the way, they asked him about his tone and asked him if he would settle accounts later.

Song Qi was relatively indifferent to the issue of following suit.

It is impossible to completely eliminate this kind of thing. As long as money can be made, there will always be people who will take risks.

And for a genre of subject matter, it doesn't mean that whoever shoots it first will not be able to shoot the people behind it. In that case, the film industry would have died long ago.

If the industry wants to flourish, in addition to the blooming of a hundred flowers, the soil is also very important.

In fact, in many cases, it is because of a large number of bad films that the entire film industry is supported.

Wang Jing, known as a ghost director, is often accused of being the king of bad movies and often makes bad movies.

But it was precisely because of his bad movies that the industry practitioners at that time had a bite to eat.

Song Qi could of course report or sue content producers who followed suit in filming monster movies, but in doing so, it would actually hurt horror movies.

Lin Yunsheng told him that an important part of this industry conference is how to support and promote the flourishing of various types of films.

Horror movies, as a long-standing problem in the entire film industry, are the focus of attention this time.

Song Qi, as the only leading director of current horror movies, needs to speak and give suggestions at the meeting.

Lin Yunsheng said that with Song Qi's achievements, after joining the association, he would have a good chance to enter the board of directors.

In the current Film Association, there are very few members of horror films, only two, and Song Qi is likely to be the third.

Members of the council and members of the association are two completely different concepts. After becoming a director of the association, Song Qi can truly have the right to speak in the industry.

Therefore, today's Song Qi has jumped out of the category of previous directors, and has begun to think about issues from the perspective of the entire industry.

From the perspective of the entire industry, or the perspective of horror movies, following the trend is actually not a bad thing.

The current problem of horror movies is that there are too few talents, and finally there is a theme that can be developed. If Song Qi kills it at the source, then the whole horror movie will not improve.

So, after guessing what they were thinking, Song Qi told them directly that he never regarded the giant beast universe as his own property.

The Behemoth universe belongs to everyone in the world, and anyone can participate in its construction.

After understanding what he meant, Wang Xingren and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and became more enthusiastic about Song Qi.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination, which was a local restaurant in Shenhai City.

When a few people came to the box under the guidance of the waiter, there were already a dozen people sitting there.
