I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 248 [New Year’s Day]

"Ok?"

Sitting at the front of the bus, Lao Zhang stood up and took a look.

"Wei Kang, Ajie, you two are stronger, hold him down."

He shouted casually and sat down again.

"Row."

Wei Kang and Ajie stood up and walked towards the back, while standing in the aisle, Zhou Ziyun, who was already panic-stricken, couldn't help but step back.

One of them carries a camera all year round and practices the unicorn arm, and the other specializes in pipe tools, both of them have a lot of strength.

"You, what are you doing!"

Zhou Ziyun shouted hysterically, looking around helplessly, looking for weapons.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes stopped at Jin Shanmei, who was sitting next to her. She was removing makeup with a dressing mirror in one hand and a makeup remover in the other. She seemed a little sluggish at this sudden scene, and she still kept the makeup in her hand. Make-up removal action.

"do not move!"

Zhou Ziyun's blood surged, his voice was a little broken, and he was about to grab the mirror.

Wei Kang and Ajie, who were gearing up to walk back, suddenly stopped and quickened their pace.

The next moment, Li Xiang suddenly hugged Zhou Ziyun from behind, who was about to snatch the mirror from Jin Shanmei.

His arms passed through the creaking hole, and then the palms of his hands were crossed and clasped on the back of the other person's neck, and at the same time, he exerted force on his legs and pressed down.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiang locked the restless Zhou Ziyun tightly, unable to move.

Wei Kang and Ajie walked over with wide eyes, "Niu, Ah Xiang."

Looking at Zhou Ziyun, whose face was flushed as he continued to struggle, Li Xiang, who was locking him, was not blushing, breathless, and didn't use much strength.

In front of him, Ayong, who was poking his head out from the back of the seat, silently jumped back onto the cushion and lay down again.

"Were you a competitive fighting player before?" Wei Kang came closer, looked at Zhou Ziyun who couldn't move, and asked casually, "Although I can do such locks, you seem to be more professional. Some, less strenuous.”

Boys often like to fight when they go to school, and they all know more or less various locking techniques.

But compared to Li Xiang's seemingly professional technique and exertion, if he were to complete this pose, he would definitely be competing with Zhou Ziyun in terms of strength. Both sides would be red-faced and out of breath.

"...I just learned a few tricks before."

Li Xiang didn't seem to want to talk about the past anymore. After explaining, he didn't speak again.

Wei Kang was not a person without eyes. Seeing this tone, he stopped asking about his past.

"Teacher Zhou, let's stop struggling."

Next to him, Ajie squatted in front of Zhou Ziyun and said awkwardly, "If I hurt you, we won't be able to explain it when you wake up later."

"let me go!"

Zhou Ziyun, however, couldn't listen to even a single word.

He looked very anxious. While looking left and right, he seemed to have endless strength in his body. He kept struggling and even planned to jump up, "Let me go!"

There was no way, Li Xiang and the other three could only guard him like this.

Sitting in the back row, Huang Yunli and Cai Siqi were stunned.

Zhou Ziyun has mental illness, which is not a secret among the crew.

But after getting along for a month, they saw a very ordinary and ordinary senior actor in front of them, without any of the mental illness and madness seen on TV.

But just now, they saw each other's illness with their own eyes.

It's just...a little embarrassing.

There was no imaginary scene of a group of people being scared back by the sick Teacher Zhou, and there was no scene of him getting violent and hurting others.

In the blink of an eye, the person was detained, and the other people in the car were left to do whatever they were supposed to do.

Even the three people guarding Zhou Ziyun just talked about how to lock him up without any effort, completely ignoring the moaning and yelling Teacher Zhou.

"You're not scared, are you?"

Bai Wei stood up and turned his head, looking at the two young actors sitting in the back row, and asked gently.

"It's not scary at all."

Huang Yunli replied strangely, "After all, the person was held down as soon as he stood up, and..."

She glanced at the other people in the car and said, "The atmosphere doesn't seem right either."

Even the introverted Cai Siqi nodded silently.

Logically speaking, on a bus like this, if someone suddenly stood up and yelled, he would start to touch the people next to him. In any case, he should be afraid.

Even if they were captured, the other people in the car should still be a little shocked and discuss the matter.

but now……

"Teacher Zhou mentioned it before, so everyone is mentally prepared." Bai Wei explained, "Besides, Teacher Zhou was such a serious person when he was working, and now he has become ill and has become like this. In fact, everyone It’s also a little sad.”

"Whether Teacher Zhou will remember it later or not, it's better not to discuss it too much now."

"If he wakes up later and doesn't mention it himself, let's not talk about it first."

With these few words, the two people who had originally looked a little strange could understand.

Especially Huang Yunli, who has played opposite Zhou Ziyun, has an even more complicated look on her face.

She had previously praised the other party for his good rhythm, but she was not talking about the situation.

Like the previous long shot of the conversation in the rental house, Lu Zhengyi's request was that it should not be divided into scenes or segments, and it should be done in one go.

In this way, that scene can be regarded as a short drama of nearly 10 minutes in a sense. There are many lines and characters' reactions to recite and memorize.

To perform accurately on the stage, drama actors need to rehearse day after day, and the two of them do not have that long to rehearse and prepare.

So when filming, it was more about the two of them reacting to each other naturally.

It's like playing badminton, table tennis, or even a 1V1 single-player online game competition... If your own skills are good, but your opponent is a complete layman, then this is not so much a competitive contest, then it is better to say this It's a game of fetch.

And Zhou Ziyun, who had a hearty contest with him not long ago, is now squatting in the aisle, being held down and struggling by three people.

Huang Yunli looked at this scene, biting her lower lip tightly, and her heart was touched more and more deeply.

This is mental illness, a disease that appears inexplicably and destroys a person.

No matter how serious and reliable the patient is when he is awake, once he becomes ill, he will seem to be a different person.

Think about it carefully, if in your consciousness, you are clearly back home and taking a shower.

But suddenly, I felt that the hot water had no touch, let alone temperature.

Then, with a sudden shock, he woke up and found that he had not gone home, but was standing naked on the road. The passers-by looked at him with strange eyes and kept discussing...

Huang Yunli didn't dare to think about it further. She subconsciously put her fingers between her teeth and bit them.

Pain radiates from the fingers. What is happening in front of you must be real, right?
……

……

In the early morning, in Zhou Ziyun's room, he woke up from the bed in a daze and saw Lu Zhengyi sitting next to him with his eyes closed.

As a person with many years of disease experience, he immediately realized something and couldn't help pulling his hair.

A month, obviously it has been a month since I got sick.

But why did it happen again tonight, and in front of so many people?

Originally he thought he could be better, but now...

"woke up?"

The moment Zhou Ziyun opened his eyes, Lu Zhengyi had already noticed that he was awake and woke up from his light sleep.

Seeing the other person pulling his hair, he was a little confused, "What are you doing?"

Yesterday, as soon as he returned to the hotel, he was pulled into the room by Lao Zhang. Then Zhou Ziyun, who fell ill, fainted as soon as he saw him.

In order to prevent him from doing anything drastic after waking up, Lu Zhengyi chose to stay in the room and watch.

This watch lasts for one night.

"So I'm having another episode, right?"

Zhou Ziyun asked aloud, his bloodshot eyes looking through the gaps between his fingers, full of pain.

"Correct."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Don't worry, you didn't hurt anyone else."

Zhou Ziyun said nothing and covered his head with his palms again.

"Okay, it's getting late. It's time for you to get up and get ready for work." Lu Zhengyi glanced at him, stood up from the chair, and stretched, "I also have to go back and take a shower. Last night I haven’t even gone back to my room since I came back.”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Ziyun, who was sitting on the bed, raised his head and looked at him in a daze.

"how?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at him and asked with a smile, "You don't think you don't have to go to work today because you were sick yesterday, do you?"

"This won't work. The crew is all waiting to finish filming and go home to spend New Year's Eve."

"Besides, you should have had enough sleep after sleeping all night."

Having said this, he glanced at Zhou Ziyun up and down, "Although, he seems to be in low spirits."

"But this state is quite good, very suitable for today's scene."

Zhou Ziyun sat on the bed, listening to these words, and finally smiled bitterly for a while, "Director Lu, you must be a devil."

"Teacher Zhou, you are already in your thirties."

Lu Zhengyi walked to the bedside and patted his shoulder, "Children can take leave from school when they are sick, but adults still have to go to work when they are sick."

"What's more, your mental illness doesn't seem to have any impact on your physical condition. I look at you. Apart from losing some weight and feeling weak, you are actually quite healthy."

"Hurry up, come to me after washing up. Let's go down and have breakfast together. Then it's time to get ready for work. You are the protagonist in today's scene."

With that said, he turned around and left.

Then, Zhou Ziyun watched him leave the room, and stood up helplessly after a while.

It has to be said that Lu Zhengyi said these few words, and he suddenly lost his temper.

Normally, every time he wakes up from an attack, he will feel very painful and tormented, and even want to...leave this world.

But now that the other party said this, he suddenly lost his temper.

If this continues, it will seem a bit pretentious.

Outside, Lu Zhengyi stood in the hotel corridor for a while leaning against the wall, and then walked towards the elevator.

……

……

It was very quiet on the bus heading to the new shooting location.

Zhou Ziyun sat next to Lu Zhengyi, feeling that the atmosphere was full of embarrassment and silence, as if everyone was frightened by his situation yesterday.

This feeling made him very uneasy.

Silently lowering his head, Zhou Ziyun did not dare to look at anyone else.

But he could feel that there were pairs of eyes looking at him from all directions, and they were even whispering.

He heard it.

Although he couldn't tell what they were talking about through the rustling voices, Zhou Ziyun was sure that they were talking about what happened yesterday.

Since the filming of the rental house scene has almost finished, they are now preparing to move to the next filming location.

And for a long time, Zhou Ziyun was on pins and needles, unable to calm down and memorize the script.

“It’s getting more and more difficult to work this winter.”

But just as he was about to arrive at his destination, Lu Zhengyi, who was next to him, suddenly said something.

"what?"

Zhou Ziyun turned his head in a daze, not understanding what he meant.

"You will know later when you look at it. A group of people are catching up on their sleep in the car." Lu Zhengyi replied, "I don't know if I can be more energetic when I get to the set. If something goes wrong, it will seriously delay the filming progress."

Ok?
After listening to Lu Zhengyi's words, Zhou Ziyun hesitated and glanced back.

With just one glance, he clearly felt that the rustling murmurs in his ears had disappeared.

No one was talking in the car.

It was such a cold day, and there was a heater in the car. The people behind were all wearing down jackets as quilts, catching up on their sleep.

"You are the protagonist in today's scene."

Before Zhou Ziyun could breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Zhengyi handed over a script, "You should study more and don't wait until the shooting starts. You don't have a good grasp of the rhythm."

"Row."

Zhou Ziyun took the script and looked at it silently.

Only now did he slowly calm down and take in the content.

……

The layout of the rooms in a rental house is completely different. The new shooting location is in a high-rent building.

This will be Luo Zhan's home, occupying a large part of the film.

As an expensive psychiatrist, the place where he lives is certainly not bad.

Although the crew can also rent out a certain floor in the building and arrange the rooms into a high-end building layout, the environment outside the building cannot be deceived.

Lu Zhengyi did not want to make gangsters appear in the feature film in order to save some filming expenses.

He tried his best to arrange all the props and locations needed by the crew.

"Remember, this shooting is quite special. The lens in Wei Kang's hand later will be the 'ghost' you see."

When he came to the set, Lu Zhengyi once again repeated the details of the shooting, "You have to act in front of this camera. Under the gaze of this camera, you can show the panic and panic of a newly ill mental patient."

"Of course, you have to combine Luo Zhan's performance as a psychiatrist. You can't go too far at the beginning."

"Compared to ordinary people, psychiatrists have a higher line of defense."

Zhou Ziyun nodded, "I understand, Director Lu."

It was clearly written in the storyboard given before, and he had been preparing for the shooting of this section.

Lu Zhengyi looked at him and without saying anything else, he stepped into the surveillance room next to him.

The shots seen through the director's monitor are the shots the audience actually sees.

There is a big difference between what you see through your eyes during on-site shooting and what is recorded through the camera. Therefore, usually, the director's monitor will be placed some distance away from the scene during shooting to avoid affecting the scene. judge.

"Teacher Zhou, it's almost time to go over and put on makeup."

"Brother Zhou, please give way, you are blocking the road."

"Teacher Zhou, please remember to follow this route later to avoid being photographed in the next few fixed camera positions."

After Lu Zhengyi left, Zhou Ziyun looked a little nervous as he looked at the other people coming and going.

But soon, his nervousness disappeared under the urging of others.

Only those who have nothing to do will think about things all day long. When they are really busy, except for the work content in front of them, all other pressures and worries will be forgotten.

"Zhou Ziyun's condition looks good."

When he arrived at the monitoring room, Lao Zhang had already turned on all the monitors and calibrated the lenses and channels. "If you don't want to be a director, go get a medical qualification certificate. You might become a famous psychiatrist."

"I've heard this too much."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and sat down next to him, "Xue Ming often said that if you don't go into business as a director, you might become a big boss."

"Another time I said that if I didn't become a director and joined a club, I would still feel like a big brother."

"It seems as if if I didn't become a director, other things would just fall into place."

"The big boss and the club's big brother?"

Zhang Yu pretended to look Lu Zhengyi up and down, and nodded seriously, "Well, he is talented in this area."

"It's almost done, but how have you considered what I told you before?" Lu Zhengyi waved his hand and pushed the topic away, "According to the current shooting schedule, although we can make it in time for New Year's Eve, the time is a bit tight. "

"If something goes wrong, it might be delayed for a few days, and then the Spring Festival will be missed."

"You'd better take Xiaowei out to practice, and I'll leave Cai Siqi's role to you to shoot. Then the time will be more relaxed." After Cai Siqi was removed from the heroine's role, she got the supporting actress Xue'er. ’s role.

This character is Luo Zhan's ex-girlfriend and the cause of his illness.

Xueer was his girlfriend when he was in school, but because he couldn't accept the result of the breakup, she chose to jump off the building in front of Luo Zhan, leaving a huge psychological shadow on him.

However, although this character's plot weight is not small, his role is not actually that much. In Lu Zhengyi's arrangement, he appears more in memories, like Luo Zhan's dream, a short period of time when he was in school suddenly appeared. .

After all, he was making a horror movie, not a romance movie.

He can incorporate a small amount of love elements into the horror film to promote the plot, but he cannot let these elements account for too much proportion in the plot, otherwise, it will probably be evaluated like a fright in the night.

For these scenes, he could have asked Zhang Yu to take Bai Wei for separate filming.

"That kid doesn't know if it's possible."

Zhang Yu hesitated, "If the shooting is not good, it will actually be a waste of energy and money."

"Wait, are you going in the wrong direction?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at him strangely, "You must be the main one. Xiaowei is watching and trying occasionally."

"I definitely can't trust Xiaowei's abilities for the time being, but I still know your skills."

"At that time, we will arrange for the newcomers Li Xiang, Jin Shanmei, and Gao Changyu to go with you. Liu Mingzhi and I have to stay. There are not enough people in the field management team."

Although Bai Wei also studied for a while.

But so far, he has only mentioned some shooting ideas and has not even directed once.

How could Lu Zhengyi give an important supporting role to Bai Wei to film?

Listening to his answer, Zhang Yu's expression became helpless, "Okay, leave all the newcomers to me."

But he didn't refuse, "Okay, let's give it a try."

"When then?"

"tomorrow?"

Although he had been hesitant just now, Lu Zhengyi could actually see that Lao Zhang was quite looking forward to it.

In fact, he hasn't filmed for a long time. After rejoining the crew this time, he is mostly guiding Bai Wei in his work.

As for Lu Zhengyi, he no longer needs any more advice and help.

"Tomorrow is certainly out of the question."

He smiled and replied, "You have to borrow a school for the filming location. This high school is not as easy to borrow as a university."

"I have asked Assistant Wang to help contact him, but it may take a few days to find out."

"When the venue is borrowed, we will arrange the division of labor."

Now that we are shooting here in another dimension, the content has changed a lot from the previous life.

In addition to the main plot, Lu Zhengyi has made changes in many aspects, whether it is the shooting method or the lines.

Ultimately, the main plot of this film can be summed up in a few sentences.

'Zhang Xin has suffered from bipolar disorder because her parents divorced since she was a child, and she often sees hallucinations.After meeting Luo Zhan, her mental illness was slowly cured, but what followed was a relapse of Luo Zhan's old illness, who also had the characteristic of seeing hallucinations...'

And if I explain it in one sentence, it is the story of 'you save me, I save you'.

From the plot point of view, this sounds more like a love story, but under the guidance of the director at the time, the content of this film was still biased towards a horror film.

However, when Lu Zhengyi watched this movie in his previous life, he was not a child and did not feel too much fear.

But this film undoubtedly left some indelible impressions on the memories of that generation.

But what Lu Zhengyi wants to shoot now is not a horror movie that scares children.

It is a horror film that can scare adults, so it will definitely not work if it is shot entirely according to the content of the photo. It needs to be modified like the previous films.

Among them, Lu Zhengyi's biggest change is undoubtedly the shooting technique.

For a director, shooting storyboards is equivalent to creating another story within one story. For the same script, two directors may produce completely different works.

What kind of perspective the characters should face, how the camera should move, the shooting proportion of each character... many details are stacked up, and the direction of a story is completely different.

Just like the current film Alien Space, if Lu Zhengyi increases the role of Xueer and adds interactive scenes to the plot of Luo Zhan and Zhang Xin to reduce the proportion of ghosts and hallucinations, then it will be It is a love-themed movie.

I even wrote some summaries for each character, such as Zhang Xin's family relationship, why her parents divorced, her life after the divorce, how Luo Zhan became a psychiatrist from a traumatized high school student...

By enriching all these contents, this simple horror script from another dimension can even be made into a 24-episode TV series.

Lu Zhengyi couldn't do it before, but now that he is considered a great director, he can make the same script appear in several different plots.

Of course, while it can be done, it's impossible.

Lu Zhengyi chose the path of horror films, not romance films.

"Action!"

As Bai Wei knocked on the clapperboard, today's first shot began.

On the monitor, Luo Zhan yawned as he walked out of his home. After passing through a long corridor, he walked onto the sightseeing elevator.

The building located in the center of Liancheng is a serviced apartment for both commercial and residential use. The rent is extremely high, but it allows him to see everything in the most prosperous center of the city through the glass cover the moment he steps on the elevator. All in sight.

But suddenly, Luo Zhan, who was lazily looking at the traffic jam on the overpass, took a step back.

He stared blankly at the other rising elevator next to him, and stared straight at Wei Kang who was holding a camera in the elevator.

In fact, it should be said that Luo Zhan was looking at the lens of the camera in his hand.

Through the director's monitor, Lu Zhengyi, in addition to following Luo Zhan's fixed camera position for shooting, could also see from another monitor how the other person was looking at the lens in Wei Kang's hand.

'Expressions do. '

Lu Zhengyi carefully observed the filming of several cameras.

In the camera, Luo Zhan was shaking his head in a daze, as if he thought he had seen it wrong.

Until the sightseeing elevator reaches the bottom floor, the filming of this section is over.

"Not bad. According to the rhythm of this section, everyone will prepare again."

Lu Zhengyi used the headset to notify other people in the crew to start shooting again.

The first shooting is often a test shoot, allowing the actors to familiarize themselves with the camera position, arouse emotions, and allowing the photographer to familiarize themselves with the route.

But sometimes it happens that after taking a few serious shots, you find that the first test shot had the best results.

People at the filming site were restoring the scene, and Zhou Ziyun also came to the monitoring room to confirm the footage just shot.

Lu Zhengyi couldn't give him any better advice. As far as the clip just now was concerned, the other party's performance was very good.

When Luo Zhan started to get sick, he didn't want Xue'er's 'ghost' to appear too much like in his previous life.

Sometimes invisible terror is the real terror.

Compared with before, Lu Zhengyi likes to add special effects to the plot. Now he is more willing to add special effects where they should appear.

So during the filming of this section, he replaced the ghost of 'Cher' with a lens.

……

"Crash-"

The sound of water dripping onto the bathroom floor was heard.

In the camera, Luo wrapped a white bath towel around his lower body and wet his hair under the hot water pouring from the shower head.

Then, he squeezed out some shampoo on the side with his fingers, spread it evenly on his hair and started rubbing it until a lot of foam came out of his head.

Luo Zhan closed his eyes.

Horror comes from life. If you want to make a person feel scared, you have to start with the simplest details of life.

Lu Zhengyi once thought about how to show how Luo Zhan, a psychiatrist with a strong psychological defense, could gradually eliminate his original disbelief in ghosts and gods under the attack of "ghosts".

And finally, he came up with an idea in the shower.

When people close their eyes, other senses will always expand unconsciously.

Often some very subtle movement can make a person who has his eyes closed but is conscious quickly open his eyes and confirm the situation next to him.

And for those who already have "ghosts in their hearts", it is even more difficult to resist the fear brought about by this fantasy.

The 'ghost' is still played by Wei Kang with the camera in his hand.

He carefully held the camera, stood behind Luo Zhan, and controlled the lens.

Lu Zhengyi looked through the camera on the monitor and clearly saw that the foam from the shampoo had covered the upper half of Luo Zhan's face.

"Who?"

As the camera approached, Luo Zhan, who was bending down to wash off the foam on his head, suddenly shouted.

There are no other voices in the shot.

Only the sound of water was heard.

Luo Zhan stood there, as if he was discerning the surrounding situation through his hearing.

But unfortunately, Wei Kang couldn't hear any movement when he didn't move.

This situation of hearing nothing and seeing nothing seemed to make Luo Zhan have all kinds of fantasies in his mind.

He struggled in place.

As a psychiatrist, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong with his situation, whether it was the hallucinations he had seen from time to time recently or his current emotions, but he seemed unable to resist the influence of fear on his brain.

For a while, Luo Zhan looked like he was going crazy in the camera, and kept wiping off the foam on his face with his palms.

Then, he forced his eyes, which had become red from the stimulation of the shampoo, to search in the misty bathroom.

The camera held by Wei Kang clearly recorded this scene, but it never moved.

No extra skills are needed, these scenes are all Zhou Ziyun's one-man shows.

He didn't have an actor to play against him, or in other words, the actor to play against him was the lens in Wei Kang's hands.

Just like a performance of eating noodles without real objects, Zhou Ziyun needs to face this camera and look like he has seen a ghost.

Moreover, he can't be too deliberate.

It is necessary to show fear and panic bit by bit as the plot develops.

Without even rinsing the foam from his hair, Luo Zhan rushed out of the bathroom in a panic. Water droplets fell from his body, soaking the floor and leaving traces.

Under the gaze of the 'ghost', he went directly to the living room, took out several pills from the medicine box and put them in his mouth.

Then, he went directly back to the bathroom and swallowed the pills with the hot water sprayed from the shower.

"Whoosh-"

The sound of Luo Zhan gasping for air entered Lu Zhengyi's headset through the radio.

After a while, he wiped his face with his hands, looking around with wide eyes and rinsing the foam off his head.

He would rather let the shampoo-contaminated water flow into his eyes and make them red, than close his eyes and lose his vision of the surroundings.

……

“Looking for inspiration for photography from life?”

"Thank you very much for your advice!"

"By the way, Director Lu, happy New Year's Day, and...congratulations on your movie ranking 36th on the Tang Dynasty box office rankings!"

Time has come to New Year's Day unknowingly, and the filming of Alien Space is slowly coming to an end, and Li Chuanxin's storyboard creation for "Bi Xian" has also reached a stage.

Although he has left, he communicates with Lu Zhengyi almost every two or three days.

Li Chuanxin often expressed his creative ideas for Bixian and asked Lu Zhengyi whether the effect could meet the standard of horror.

Lu Zhengyi often shares some of his sudden inspirations with others.

But early this morning, in addition to replying to the message he sent before going to bed, the other party also brought a message.

"36?"

Lu Zhengyi knew that it must be a curse without even thinking about it. '

The only movie I have on hand has just been released and can meet this qualification in terms of performance.

Lu Zhengyi casually replied to Li Chuanxin with a 'Happy New Year' emoji.

Then, he quickly returned to the interface and clicked on the pinned chat box.

But what surprised Lu Zhengyi was that there were no unnecessary messages in the chat box.

Except for the words 'good night' sent before going to bed last night, there was not a single new message.

This surprised Lu Zhengyi, but soon he seemed to remember something and sent her a 'Good morning' reply, and then opened the internal communication software of Light and Shadow.

": 16 billion, 16 billion. This should be the largest project since the establishment of our company, right?"

": Is there no news from Mr. Zhang?"

": The data report from the Republic of China has also come out. The final box office was 87 billion Japanese dollars. Although it did not appear on the movie rankings of the Republic of China, as a horror film, this figure is quite high. I think we can arrange a wave of Promotion.”

": The market here has been suppressed for too long. This data is actually a bit too high. Maybe after a while, everyone's enthusiasm will drop, and this data will no longer be available. If we promote it now, if we don't have this data next time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? , people say we have regressed."

": 87 billion Japanese yuan, which is equivalent to more than 4 million yuan in Tang Dynasty. Calculating the price of one movie ticket, it probably mobilized more than 660 million Chinese people to watch movies in theaters, accounting for about 5.28% of the total population."

": Speaking of which, has Mr. Zhang not replied to the message yet? The contact person of Weihai Music has been sending us messages today, asking us to arrange the signing as soon as possible. I don’t know whether I should reply or not. After all, the price was that before and the price now is Not necessarily.”

": Mr. Zhang seems not to read the news at night lately. Why don't you call me and ask?"

[Lu Zhengyi: There is no need to call and ask. Mr. Zhang has not been feeling well recently and needs more rest.As for the Weihai Music project, if they wanted to arrange the signing of the contract as soon as possible, they didn't need to think about raising the price. They were all old acquaintances, so be considerate. 】

In the management group, which only supervisors and above can enter, a group of people were having a heated discussion.

But after all, it is a group of companies, and everyone who can be seen has good things to say.

After Lu Zhengyi appeared and replied, the rapidly scrolling dialog box stopped for a few seconds.

For a while, the words 'Hello, Director Lu' scrolled quickly on the chat box.

[Zhang Xueming: Wei Hai’s contract signing time should be scheduled for this Friday. I want to rest on Saturday. 】

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhengyi's sharp eyes saw a message in the column of 'Director Lu is good'.

He first glanced at the time, and then switched the chat software.

"Did you actually look at the company's group chat first when you woke up, and then my messages?"

Lu Zhengyi struck first.

"Definitely next time." Zhang Xueming admitted her mistake directly, and then quickly replied, "The results in Heguo are much better than expected. Vice President Lin proposed to arrange the filming of the next film as soon as possible. I think Asking for your opinion.”

Even at the beginning, Lin Mozhi and others were not optimistic about the couple's entry into overseas markets.

But now that the results came out, she didn't boast arrogantly, but directly followed the other party's wishes and talked about the next step.

"The Grudge 2 will definitely be filmed."

Lu Zhengyi thought for a moment, "But after all, I still have a copy of Alien Space in my hand, so this plan must be next year."

Zhang Xueming was quiet for a while before he responded.

"Are you sure? Now this movie."

"Of course, I definitely believe in your ability, but the Grudge has raised the audience's expectations too high."

"If the gap between Alien Space and The Grudge is too big, I think you can wait until the filming is over to play it first and not release it. After all, you have gained a certain reputation overseas because of the Grudge. Maybe Maybe some overseas audiences will come here to support your movie."

She was probably brushing her teeth and typing slowly.

Although the popularity of "The Grudge" has gradually begun to decrease as the three-month release period has passed.

But the excitement when it first came out was obvious to all.

Not only was Tang Guo's internal network in a state of turmoil, but many Chinese people on the external network were helping to promote it, and it even attracted some audiences from countries outside Dongzhou.
