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

Chapter 315 [Off the shelves again]

": No, how come the movie tickets I booked were refunded to me!"

": Hey hey, when I want to buy tickets for The Grudge 2 in the ticket purchase system, why does it prompt a ticket purchase error: 201."

": Wait, there seems to be news on the official website that the relevant film sources have been removed from the shelves?"

": Removed? What do you mean?"

": What is the specific violation? Why don't you mark it and protest!"

……

"What? Take it off the shelves?"

It is impossible for the film's promotional activities to last until the release, after all, it is only a few months.

The arrangements for offline activities only last one week after the premiere, and the rest of the promotion depends on the reputation of the actors and the film itself.

Assistant Wang was stunned, "...but this way."

"In short, Akafata is willing to help us understand the situation, and this order seems to be a direct takedown order from the Kyoto Prefecture of Japan, parachuted to the Film and Television Bureau, and issued directly..."

"When we make a movie, there is no need to escalate the dispute to the international level."

What is Akakata? In Heguo, they are extreme and excluded.

Their friends and businessmen on the Heguo side are also relatively well-established figures in the Heguo entertainment circle. However, the big shots in this circle cannot ask the results. On the contrary, the Daochuan Society, which exists in the form of a society outside the circle, Got it.

"Okay, leave this matter to me." Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Go and explain and hand over all the matters at hand. If nothing goes wrong, you can return to China as originally planned."

But unexpectedly, a problem did occur, but the problem was not within the circle.

"It was said that the content of the movie was suspected of violating regulations, so it was ordered to be removed from the shelves by the Film and Television Bureau over there."

"But they didn't give any suggestions for corrections. It was like... giving up on the movie."

"But I also hope you can understand other people's national conditions. It's not easy for them to face those things."

Since the order was issued directly from Kyoto Prefecture, it probably involved something other than film and television, such as real supernatural beings.

He talked hurriedly while drinking water.

"Also, Mr. Zhang sent me a message this morning, saying that they would try to contact more people to confirm the situation." Assistant Wang continued, "But I have synchronized what I know to them. But there is no reply yet.”

"But fortunately, we can't get clear information from formal channels."

"I then contacted several of our partners here to inquire about the situation, but received no reply."

Such matters are no longer something that individuals can interfere with.

After all, this movie has done well in several countries in Eastern Asia from its release to now. If it is removed from the shelves, investors like them will suffer certain losses. Now they should all be holding urgent meetings to discuss solutions and reduce losses. .

"Many theaters are now negotiating with us, but for specific matters, you'd better listen to what Xiao Wang has to say. After all, he is in Heguo and has direct contact with people there. What he has learned should be More than me.”

"I will handle the matter here."

"For the specific situation, I called Hebao Company to inquire."

"But before, our crew had a good relationship with the Inagawa Society. I contacted their new president Jubei Aso. They seem to have some contact with the remnants of the Wakuni Red Party, which is quite complicated."

Early in the morning, Zhang Xueming sent a few messages in a hurry, but there was no response.

But soon, Taoist Guanshan remembered something again, coughed slightly, and suppressed the smile in his voice.

Obviously, the sudden removal of the movie has a great impact on both the film and the theaters it cooperates with.

Even if he has enough force, he can't control people's hearts.

Oddly enough, it is obviously news related to a movie, so it must be something in the entertainment industry.

They previously felt that other entertainment companies in China might resist because foreigners like them intervened in the market.

His tone was a bit gloating.

Lu Zhengyi put the suitcase aside, took out a disposable cup from the cabinet, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him. By the way, he also pulled out a few pieces of paper for him.

"But President Matsuzuke didn't know the specific situation, and because the source of the film was suddenly removed, his tone was a little bad."

Assistant Wang took the water glass with one hand and drank it while holding a tissue in the other hand to wipe the sweat.

There is a high probability that the movie's release this time will not go so smoothly.

But just when Lu Zhengyi bought the air ticket and was about to return to China, Assistant Wang hurriedly knocked on the hotel door early in the morning, and at the same time, there was a notification tone from his mobile phone.

"I asked for you, and you guessed it right. This matter is indeed related to the cultivators from Heguo." Regarding his work, Taoist Guanshan did not hesitate and called quickly. A call came, "The influence of your movie is really huge, attracting a lot of people to go on adventures."

"The situation there is already quite serious, and now there are still a bunch of brave people running around."

"Thank you, thank you."

"Of course, I'm deeply sorry for the situation."

"Is it a direct order from people in Kyoto Prefecture?" Lu Zhengyi caught the key point of his words, "If that's the case, then I probably understand..."

"In order to avoid further expansion of the impact, I have directly removed your film from the shelves. Let me tell you first, I can't help you with this. We have a lot of things to do ourselves."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "But there is no need to refund the air tickets. I feel... there will probably be no outcome to this matter."

After sending Assistant Wang away, Lu Zhengyi did not leave the hotel to deal with the matter. Instead, he stayed in the room, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Taoist Guanshan.

He was afraid that Lu Zhengyi would come directly to his door and it would become a problem between the two countries and the matter would become serious.

Don't gloat at this time. This guy's weight is comparable to that of a little boy.

"Of course, I'm not going to make such a fuss just to make a movie." Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "I know, I'm unlucky about this matter. I'll try not to make the plot of the next movie about adventure. .”

He had a rough idea of ​​this result before asking.

If it involves some matters related to spiritual practice, then it can only be said that this movie was removed from the shelves in the Republic of China.

But this is not a bad thing.

Although the money is less, the reputation is not necessarily the same.

……

The Grudge 2 was forced to be removed from the shelves due to content violations after only seven days of release in Japan, which quickly caused a commotion on the Internet.

This film has recently attracted a lot of attention in the Dongzhou market.

After it was removed from the shelves, both viewers who had already watched the film and those who planned to watch it but had not yet had time to watch it all joined the discussion.

": Is there any violation in this movie? I hope the State Administration of Film and Television can give a reasonable explanation!"

": Protest, strong protest, I haven't seen it yet!"

":!!! I originally planned to watch it on my day off, but now I have no chance!"

": If it's because at the end of the film, it hints at the imminent destruction of the Republic of China, I don't think it's necessary. The plot has reasonably explained the ins and outs, and I can accept the reasons for this result. If it doesn't work, can the crew pass it? Change the category of the movie and try to get it censored, for example, a disaster movie..."

": I wasn't interested in it at first. After all, it's a horror film made by a director from Tang Dynasty. But now that it's been taken off the shelves, I'm now interested in watching it."

": Can the boss on the sixth floor find the resources? Can you share one with me?" ...

Towards evening,

In Beidu Airport, Lu Zhengyi slowly dragged his suitcase and walked out of the airport.

He didn't even delay returning home because of this incident.

According to the original plan, he returned to the country.

When leaving the airport, no one came to pick him up. Zhang Xueming didn't know the news of his return.

Or it should be said that she did not know that after what happened, she did not choose to stay there to negotiate, but returned directly to her country.

Without choosing to go home, Lu Zhengyi knew exactly where his wife would be now.

He called an online taxi and went straight to the Light and Shadow Group.

"Lu, Director Lu..."

"Why are you back?"

"Mr. Zhang is still in a meeting."

A burly figure squeezed in through the revolving glass door of the Light and Shadow Group. Because he was too conspicuous, several girls at the front desk recognized him from a distance. They discussed in a low voice and hesitated for a few seconds.

Then someone hurried over and swiped the access control, allowing Lu Zhengyi to enter the company.

"I know she hasn't gotten off work yet."

Lu Zhengyi smiled helplessly, "Which floor is she having a meeting on now?"

"Wait a moment, let me ask!"

The girl at the front desk quickly took out her phone and asked in the work group.

Soon, she got an answer.

"Mr. Zhang is in the office, it should be an online meeting."

As she spoke, she helped press the elevator floor.

"Thanks."

Lu Zhengyi put the suitcase on the ground, "Please help me keep the luggage for now. I'll come and pick it up later. It's quite troublesome to carry this big suitcase around."

As for the cane, he silently held it in his hand without passing it over.

"Ok."

The receptionist quickly pulled the suitcase over, and then watched Lu Zhengyi step into the elevator.

As the elevator door closed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so cowardly, sisters."

Next to him, several other girls at the front desk trotted over and smiled mischievously, "You were as good as a quail in front of Director Lu just now."

"...You do what you want, but don't just open your mouth."

The voice of the person who had been speaking softly just now suddenly became much rougher, with a Dongcheng accent, "This Director Lu is moving towards the pestle like a tiger. When he glances at me, I feel scared in my heart." , just like when I met my dad when I committed a crime."

As she said that, she pushed the suitcase carefully, "But he looks fierce or not, but he actually looks good, and he feels quite safe."

"If Mr. Zhang hadn't made the first move, I might... well, hehe."

The person next to him was happy, "It's time to wake up. The couple is fine. And when I went to the tea room before, I heard that Mr. Zhang seemed to be pregnant."

"Huh? Are you pregnant?"

Others pricked up their ears.

"Yes, it must have been a month. Haven't you noticed that Mr. Zhang rarely comes to the company recently?"

"In the past, she was a well-known workaholic in the company. She worked overtime every day, and all the employees under her had to follow her. Now that she has been promoted to vice president, they have been promoted one by one, and now they are the top scorers in various departments."

"No, no, that's off topic. It's time to get pregnant. How long have you been married? And I look at Director Lu's figure. Well, she should be quite strong."

The person who brought it up in the first place explained.

"Yo yo yo, can you still see this? I'm looking down on you."

"But didn't Director Lu go on a business trip abroad recently? Isn't Mr. Zhang alone? How pitiful."

"What's so pitiful? They are rich people. They must have family members to accompany them. Otherwise, they would hire caregivers, nannies, etc. Why do we, a group of migrant workers, have to worry about others?"

"Please, Mr. Zhang is the goddess of many people in our company. He is capable, good-looking, has a good personality, and is responsible. He will not pass the blame to his subordinates... Of course, the main thing is this last point, this A little bit really goes a long way!”

"Please pay attention to your volume! It's okay. If Director Lu doesn't take care of you then, I will take care of you!"

"Pfft, you, don't laugh me to death, quack quack..."

They were walking and talking, and laughter could be heard from time to time amid the discussions, and the laughter was mixed with a few squawks of geese. It was not known who was laughing so hard that they forgot about it.

This is how the workplace is, either you gossip about your colleagues or your boss.

Most of the time, the leadership’s issues can arouse employees’ enthusiasm for discussion.

In the elevator, Lu Zhengyi listened to the distant discussion, shook his head silently, and gave up the idea of ​​going out to get his luggage back.

Just now, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xueming should have driven here. When he left, he should go directly to the underground parking garage instead of going to the first floor, so he canceled the button to go upstairs.

But unexpectedly, the sound of gossip about him came through the elevator door.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of people outside, he pressed the elevator button again to go upstairs.

"Director Lu."

"Eh? Director Lu."

Arriving at this floor of Zhang Xueming's office, many people were shouting again.

They all seemed surprised that Lu Zhengyi returned to China when The Grudge 2 was currently removed from the market.

"Dong dong dong."

Lu Zhengyi greeted Zhang Xueming's office familiarly, knocked on the door first, then opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Tomita, does the responsibility for this matter lie with us?"

"After the finished film was approved, everyone watched it once. At that time, no one thought there was anything wrong."

"Now that the movie has been taken off the shelves, you are going to put all the blame on us and demand compensation from us. Isn't this unreasonable?"

Zhang Xueming's unhurried voice sounded from inside, and when she heard a knock on the door and poked her head out from behind the monitor, her eyes froze.

'Why are you back? '

Lu Zhengyi read these words from her eyes.
