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

Chapter 257 [Live Broadcast]

"I have already signed the contract, and I signed it on the same day as Assistant Wang told me."

After learning that Zhou Ziyun's mental condition was relatively stable, Lu Zhengyi did not fly to Liangcheng immediately. Instead, he first sent new year's goods to Liang Le and learned about his current situation. He hurried to Zhou's house the day before.

They are already in their 30s and almost [-]s. Although Zhou Ziyun's career was in shambles after getting sick, he still owns a house.

"When I was in my twenties, I spent most of my savings to buy this place for my two elders to live in."

The Zhou family's study is the only place suitable for serious conversation.
In the house, as soon as Zhou Ziyun sat down, he talked about the past in a low mood, "I was doing pretty well at that time. I originally thought that when my career was successful in the future, I would buy a place in some other cities. Give the real estate to yourself, after all, as an actor, Liangcheng is not suitable for living."

"In the end, I didn't expect that this happened. No crew was willing to hire me. Not to mention the crew, not even the factory would recruit someone like me. Now, after nearly ten years of wasted time, I only have this little property left. .”

"Before I met you, I basically relied on my parents to support me. At most, I used some small crafts from the factory to do at home, but the wages were very low. Let alone making money and getting married. People who are almost forty are like useless people. Same thing."

Liangcheng is a not-so-prosperous city, barely considered a fourth-tier city.

But both the economy and the population are far from reaching the fourth-tier standards. The local university only has one normal school. Not to mention celebrity concerts, road shows, etc., even some film crews will not come to shoot scenes. to here.

"I was born late, and my parents only wanted me when they were almost forty. Now one of them is over 70, and the other is just over seventy. They are obviously the age when they should retire and provide for themselves, but they still insist on working outside because of my daily medication money."

"They work every day, and they also have to worry about my condition. As you saw just now, they are as worried as someone in their eighties."

"You don't know what that audition invitation you sent me was like to me."

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyun bent his legs on the chair and planned to kowtow to him.

Although I still have a house, my parents are getting older, I have no savings at all, no one wants my job, and getting married is like a dream.

These things also deepened his mental pressure all the time.

"I will not terminate the contract with you. Since I wanted you in the first place, I will not regret it now." Lu Zhengyi stood up helplessly and hurriedly supported him, "I am really afraid of your family. Just now I walked in and my parents asked me Kowtow to me, how can I bear this?"

In the previous communication through text, he was not aware of the other party's emotions.

At this meeting, Lu Zhengyi realized how nervous Zhou Ziyun was this time.

He was afraid that he would terminate the contract because of the few words of those people online.

"I came here just to check on you."

Lu Zhengyi changed the topic, "You accept some truths very quickly."

As he spoke, he took out a red amulet from the backpack beside him, "Here you go, everyone has the amulet of the crew. Remember to wear it when working. Of course, when you are not working, You can also wear it, it will keep you safe anyway."

Zhou Ziyun took the amulet blankly and fumbled around with his hands. There was something round inside, and he didn't know what it was.

"There is a copper coin inside."

Lu Zhengyi watched his movements and explained with a smile, "You also know the nature of our crew's work. We need something on us to ward off evil spirits."

"Thank you, Director Lu."

Zhou Ziyun accepted it gratefully.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something and glanced outside the room. A trace of hesitation appeared on his face, but in the end he did not speak.

Lu Zhengyi could completely guess Zhou Ziyun's thoughts regarding his performance.

I plan to help my parents get one too.

After learning the truth about the world, everyone would want to find something for their family to protect themselves. Others in the crew did the same at first and directly asked him for it.

Zhou Ziyun seemed to be afraid to speak because of the previous incident.

But even if he asked, Lu Zhengyi would not give it.

"This thing was asked for at Qingniu Temple. If you have the heart, you can go up the mountain and ask for one for your parents."

Lu Zhengyi said casually, using the same expression as before with the rest of the crew.

"Besides, I have some things to discuss with you this time."

"First of all, regarding your illness, you need to have a positive response, rather than avoiding the problem."

"I'm not sure if you will have the opportunity to get roles in other crews in addition to my job in the future, but at least your attitude of wanting to change and try work needs to be shown to the public... "

Because he was pressed for time, he did not spend the night at Zhou's house.

After confirming Zhou Ziyun's physical and mental condition, Lu Zhengyi left and went home.

On New Year's Eve, he would definitely go home for dinner.

Zhou Ziyun's mental condition, as he now explains in writing, has been relatively stable.

There is no process of unraveling the knot, just because he comes into contact with a more colorful world.

When you encounter difficult things, you might as well look ahead. Greater suffering is ahead.

At this time, the originally distressing things will be alleviated, which is similar to the idea of ​​​​compromise.

Zhou Ziyun is probably in such a state now.

Compared with the fact that there are ghosts in this world, the stories in mythology and history may not be just fiction. He joined a crew that recruits ghosts for filming... In terms of such things, Zhou Ziyun's mental illness seems to have suddenly become ordinary. .

Good news: I thought it was just a common cold, but I went to the hospital and found out I had the flu.

Bad news: Because my stomach was not very comfortable, I had a gastroscopy and it was found that I had gastric cancer.

Compared to stomach cancer, the flu is indeed good news.

And because of this, Zhou Ziyun accepted this fact much more smoothly than Huang Yunli at the same time.

At least until now, Lu Zhengyi has not received news from Huang Yunli confirming the signing.

Because the crew is now considered small and large, he does not need to do some relatively simple and tedious tasks personally as a director.

For example, Assistant Wang is now in charge of matters related to the recruitment of the crew, and he only needs to get one result. …

……

Although it was the Chinese New Year, Zhang Xueming didn't have any real rest because of what happened a year ago.

Even at home, she would take out her tablet from time to time to understand the situation.

Although Guangying Media has developed into a large group with the acquisition of several small companies and cooperation with several large platforms.

But in the entertainment circle of Tang Dynasty, there are not without behemoths like this.

And similarly, in such an era of rapid information transmission, even if Light and Shadow becomes a fleet that can rush to overseas markets, it cannot cover everyone's mouths.

In addition to some media that often cooperate with Guangying and have relatively good relationships, there are also a large number of media and self-media who will not scruple because of its size. On the contrary, the larger the group, the more accidents occur, their eyes will be It will only become more greedy.

Big news is their food for survival, and they will not be afraid.

For this reason, there are often cases in places like Jiangcheng, Nancheng, Sichuan... where some news that is difficult for local media to expose is reported by foreign media.

This is the only channel for the masses to learn the truth, but it is also a double-edged sword.

Whether the truth matters or not depends entirely on the conscience of the media.

Obviously, as a well-established company in the entertainment industry, Zhang Xueming obviously does not want to bet on whether these media have any conscience.

After learning from Lu Zhengyi that Zhou Ziyun's condition was stable and improving, she quickly made a decision.

Instead of waiting until Alien Space was released and the discussion of related topics increased, they came over smelling the fishy smell and bitten the flesh and blood from their bodies.

She prefers to be open and honest about the matter first, and then use her small media connections to guide the direction of public opinion, thus not giving most media the opportunity to distort the facts.

"Recently, our company has discovered that individual subjects have maliciously spread false statements and extremely insulting remarks against Mr. Zhou Ziyun on online platforms. The impact has been extremely bad and has seriously damaged Zhou Ziyun's personal reputation, and is suspected of infringing on Zhou Ziyun's right to reputation. .”

"In order to set the record straight, our company hereby solemnly declares as follows: [-]. The alleged situation that Mr. Zhou Ziyun beat the crew and maimed him due to personal reasons is seriously deviated from the facts. Such false statements have crossed the bottom line of morality and law. The act of maliciously spreading rumors and causing trouble.”

“[-]. We solemnly warn relevant entities to immediately delete untrue and insulting remarks against Zhou Ziyun. We also sincerely hope that relevant online platforms will actively fulfill their supervisory obligations as network service providers and provide relevant information in a timely manner when rights holders claim their rights. …”

On the official blog of the Mei Civet Cat crew, a notice in the form of a picture was posted.

At the same time, following this Weibo, the official blog also forwarded a Weibo.

The person who forwarded the Weibo post is of course the main figure in this incident - Zhou Ziyun.

As for the Weibo content, it is about an audience interaction session he will have on Shark Live in the near future. The promotional copy is mainly about "warming up the alien space", but in fact anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a A live broadcast to explain the controversy.

Although there is not much discussion about the fact that the protagonist of Alien Space is mentally ill, the Light and Shadow Group did not choose to downplay or treat it coldly. Instead, it directly arranged relevant channels and explained the facts to others openly and honestly.

With the operation in place, there was originally only a few discussions, but it instantly became a hot search topic.

": Did Director Lu actually find a mentally ill person to be an actor this time?"

": The Weibo was posted by Mei Li Mao Studio. Director Lu seems to have signed a contract with them. He seems to be very satisfied with Zhou Ziyun."

": The world of mental illness is already very painful, can you please stop disturbing others?"

":So, when will the movie be released?"

": I used to think Lu Zhengyi was just not a good person, but now I think he is a bit cold-blooded. Did you really find a mentally ill person to act because the plot requires it?"

": Is this using the patient's story for marketing purposes? There really is no lower limit, it's disgusting!"

……

Various voices appeared on this topic, some were looking forward to the release of Alien Space, some were optimistic about the actor, but some, like before, said they couldn't understand why Lu Zhengyi would find a mentally ill person to act and disturb other people's lives. , and maliciously conduct marketing hype.

There are many people famous for right and wrong, and of course there will be all kinds of voices on this topic, good or bad.

And when the day of the live broadcast came, many people poured into the corresponding live broadcast room.

Whether they are just eating melons or really paying attention to this matter, they have brought a lot of popularity.

"Yes, I once had an attack and affected some people, but everyone has seen that with my body, I definitely can't beat him."

"Yes, yes, of course there is a letter of understanding. I have it here."

"What do you think of Director Lu? I'm very grateful to the director for giving me this job. In fact, I haven't worked for almost ten years since I got sick, and I rely on my old parents at home to support me. But if this continues, it will definitely be... No way."

"But as a patient who has mania and visual hallucinations from time to time, there is no job that can accept me. At most, I can do some small crafts, such as labeling or helping to string beads... But the money for doing these crafts is very high. It’s so little that it basically doesn’t even cover one month’s living expenses.”

"Is it normal? Yes, my condition has become much more stable and I won't get sick so frequently anymore."

"Everyone should talk more about the alien space. This time I am doing a warm-up on behalf of the crew. If you have anything you want to know, and I can tell it, I will definitely not hide it from you."

Throughout the house,

Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming were sitting in the living room, watching Zhou Ziyun's live broadcast on TV.

But their attention is not on the people broadcasting live, but more on the barrages.

": It sounds so miserable (灁灁)"

":Although I am not a mental patient, I have been in a car accident before and lost a foot, so I can understand Teacher Zhou's feelings of wanting to work but having no job opportunities!"

": But no matter what, if you are asked to play a character related to mental illness, it will definitely aggravate your condition, right? I don't believe Lu Zhengyi can't think of this, he is bad!"

": Mr. Zhou used to be an actor at least. I have watched a TV series he starred in. But after suffering from mental illness, why did his life and work conditions become so bad?"

": Laughing so hard, can some of the good people in the barrage arrange a job for Teacher Zhou and then evaluate the quality of others?"

": Mental illness sounds less scary than cancer, cerebral hemorrhage, etc., but once severe symptoms such as auditory hallucinations and hallucinations occur, the severity is actually about the same. Because I have a neighbor who is mentally ill, and he almost got into trouble last time The whole building was burned down, and I’m scared to death of him now, but his family doesn’t want to send him to the hospital.”
