Chapter 317 [Banned]

Southern Dynasty Kingdom,

A coffee shop was crowded with people.

Or students in school uniforms, doing various test papers;

Or someone wearing a suit and leather shoes, typing on a laptop;

There was also an intern employee standing at the counter, wearing a work badge, and taking a dozen coffees from the clerk. He was probably called down to run errands;

Everyone looked very busy.

"This is too ridiculous, He Guo."

But when you look closely, you can see that most people are not as busy as they seem.

Although there are various test papers, outlines, test materials, and examination review books on the table... But most of them are chatting, drinking coffee, and eating pastries with their peers.

"He Guo? What's going on?"

There were three female high school students in school uniforms at the table next to them. Among them, the beautiful girl who looked like an idol stirred the cup with a small spoon and asked lazily, "When will you return?" Will you pay attention to international news?"

Among them, there are conspiracy theories such as 'intentional', 'script', and 'marketing...'. In fact, this is not uncommon in today's era.

Countless people cursed this wretched man, took responsibility and demanded severe punishment.

They even called the police over the incident.

"Really? Then isn't this just publicity for others?"

And more people sympathized with the female anchor, comforted, liked, and sent gifts...

Another long-haired girl next to her was scrolling through social media on her mobile phone, "You know the curse, the second part was released recently, but the Japanese side removed the work from the shelves because the content was too shocking."

As long as the parties concerned request to keep the case private after the fact, there will basically not be much loss in a civil case like this, let alone a record of the case.

"Not many people knew about it before, but now, as soon as the film is released, people all know about it."

"The purpose of watching a horror movie is not to scare yourself. Once the label 'banned film banned by the Republic of China' is put on it, let's find a time to watch it. I'll see when tickets are available."

The popularity once reached the highest level on the platform and gained great social attention.

It seems that he really cares about it.

"That seems to be the case. Anyway, the discussion is quite high."

"Hey, you actually took out your phone too."

She enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by others.

As she said this, she couldn't help but take out her mobile phone.

When the Republic of China officially banned the continued release of The Grudge 2 and listed its source film as a banned film, many people appeared who could not understand this.

Not to mention, this is a film project from two countries and several large groups.

But soon, she came up with another idea, "Do you think this could be a script?"

The good-looking girl continued to stir the cup, and then looked away from the other people in the store, "The person who made this decision must be mentally retarded. People who didn't pay attention to this news should have started paying attention to it." ?”

The expression on the face of a good-looking girl is so weird and weird, she replied:

The other two people paused one after another.

"Could this... be the crew of The Grudge, or some kind of cooperation between the investors and He Guo?"

But in the end, the police found out that this was a filming team, and both parties knew each other in advance. Everything was carried out according to the script, including the call to police, in order to make this 'story' more real.

But they didn't expect that the police's ability was far stronger than this plan. Not only did they verify that they knew each other before the incident, but they also followed the clues to find out the criminal facts they set up.

As she spoke, she looked at other people in the coffee shop from time to time, watching them evade her gaze.

In her words, 'We have gone out to play and are still staring at our phones, so we might as well stay at home. '

Many events that have aroused great popularity on the Internet have more or less script meaning behind them. It's like some female anchors 'accidentally' photographed a wretched man next to them during an outdoor live broadcast. They take off their pants.

A small film and television team dares to set up such a situation for the sake of traffic.

Outside, her friend almost never plays with her mobile phone.

After all, people are selected from many elite talents in the entire country to make decisions on such matters. It's not like they really removed other people's films because they were 'too scary', right?

And it’s a horror movie, so that’s impossible.

Another girl wearing black-rimmed glasses also held a mobile phone, "I was at school in the morning and I heard someone discussing this film."

But they can use this 'story' to win greater traffic.

The girl with black-rimmed glasses looked at her unexpectedly. As friends, the three of them often went out together.

And these three girls are not the only ones who have such speculations.

"I originally planned to go see it today, but I couldn't buy any tickets."

"but……"

"After all, even we can figure things out. Those who make decisions are selected from so many elite talents in Heguo. There is no reason for them to be unclear."

"International entertainment news, entertainment!"

Of course, everything about this is just random speculation by netizens without any evidence.

"A horror film has been classified as a banned film by the Republic of China, which directly prohibits the flow of film sources. Isn't this equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China directly announcing that 'The Grudge 2 is a horror film worthy of its name.'"

"Not to mention those who don't usually watch movies, now even me, who often pays attention to the film and television industry, is starting to be interested."

Such a decision will only make people more enthusiastic to search for this film, just to see what kind of film can be defined as a 'banned film'.

But what happened next slowly began to 'clarify' that this was not intentional marketing.

Pictures that were prohibited from loading were posted by Chinese netizens on the Internet and shared on the Twitter platform, and attracted huge attention.

Either the video is removed from the shelves, or the comments are deleted, or even the source of the pirated website is directly blocked...

He Guo's actual actions proved that even the Grudge 2 was implicated in the blockade of Grudge 1 and disappeared directly from He Guo's network.

As long as they are connected to the network of China, they will not receive any discussions related to the 'Grudge'.

There are no longer relevant entries on the hot search lists on various platforms, let alone videos or discussion posts.

In just a few days, the 'grudge', which existed only in the form of verbal conversations between people, was directly erased from the Internet.

Unless special means are used to circumvent the blocking of relevant information in China.

……

"This is all for people's safety."

and the country,

On the rooftop of a tall building,

Several people wearing robes and their faces completely wrapped in white cloth were standing at the edge, blowing the cold autumn wind, with no fear on their faces.

Even at this height, even the people walking on the street became black dots, but they stood on the edge, their feet as steady as if they were on flat ground. "Just one movie has caused the frequency of abnormal incidents in the country to increase several times, and the number of victims has reached more than a hundred." One of them said coldly, his voice hoarse, making it impossible to tell the difference between men and women. He may be a very old man, "There are fewer and fewer people in China who can handle these things, and now because of a movie, more and more people are violating taboos everywhere."

"Those things will only get stronger the more people they kill."

"We can't let this kind of thing continue. In addition to blocking the movie, I think we should also impose restrictions on the entire crew headed by Lu Zhengyi. We can't let them continue to shoot and release movies here."

In history, the Japanese nation had its glory days, and there were countless shrine maidens, onmyojis, and warrior monks.

But as times change, fewer and fewer people can inherit these skills.

If with the release of the movie, the frequency of abnormal incidents in the country increases and all kinds of monsters become more powerful, then they will lose control.

We must nip the symptoms before they happen!

"Restrictions are inevitable, but what I'm worried about is more than that."

Soon, another man in robes answered, "Lu Zhengyi is not an ordinary person. According to what they call him, he is a cultivator."

"Tell me, could this be Tang Guo's deliberate attempt to test us?"

"Do you still remember what happened when Muto Weijiro cast a curse on Chen Junsheng?"

His voice was also indistinguishable from male to female.

They looked down at Tokyo below and discussed the recent events.

"You mean, they deliberately sent Lu Zhengyi to our place to make this type of movie, spread relevant information to people, and want to make us confused?"

Someone else then spoke up, "It is possible, and the possibility is not small. Back then, Muto Ejiro was good at making decisions to test the Tang Dynasty. Now that he is dead, he has left us a mess."

"No matter what, we must prepare in advance."

The man in robes who was the first to speak turned around and returned to the rooftop, "We must not let the situation get out of control. As for the curse, as long as this topic is blocked from the Internet, think about it, time will make this topic disappear from people's minds very quickly. Slowly forgotten in the mouth.”

As he spoke, his tone was a bit unbelievable.

Before this incident happened, and before the situation of the victims was reported back, they had never imagined that such a thing would happen.

a movie.

Just a horror movie with so much impact.

Perhaps, they should also have some restrictions on the horror film category in China.

……

"You said you could make such big news by making a movie."

"Based on the attitude of He Guo, I feel that you and your crew have been blacklisted."

"And in the middle of the night, the people in charge of diplomacy in Heguo reported to us some events that happened in their country, and then they kept making insinuations about our attitude. It seemed that... they suspected that we did this on purpose. of."

Early in the morning, before six o'clock and before the sun had risen, Lu Zhengyi was woken up by a phone call.

"Shh..."

Lu Zhengyi held the mobile phone in one hand and opened a corner of the quilt with the other hand.

Then, with lightning speed, he jumped out of bed and landed on the ground with his feet.

At the same time, the quilt was covered again.

There was no sound at all during the whole process, and maybe even the temperature in the bed didn't change at all.

Looking at Zhang Xueming who was still sleeping soundly, Lu Zhengyi quietly left the house and came outside.

"Taoist Priest, do you know how important it is for a pregnant woman to get enough sleep?"

As soon as he left the house, Lu Zhengyi released the mute button and said helplessly, "It's only after five o'clock now, after five o'clock!"

"Sorry sorry."

Taoist Guanshan replied apologetically, "I thought you used to wake me up in the middle of the night, so I gave you a call to wake you up and feel how painful it is to be woken up. But in the end, I forgot that you were married. Yes, there are others nearby."

"Tsk, childish."

Lu Zhengyi laughed.

On the phone, it quickly became quiet.

After a while, there was another sound coming from inside.

"I'm just here to remind you. You may have been blocked. Don't think about developing there in the future." Taoist Guanshan continued, with no emotion in his tone, "But... You didn’t do it on purpose, right?”

They definitely didn't send Lu Zhengyi out to interfere in other people's internal affairs.

But Lu Zhengyi himself is not necessarily sure.

"That was definitely not intentional. I just made a movie, okay." Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "Okay, I understand. When this happened, I probably guessed that this would happen. ”

Taoist Guanshan didn't say anything more. Just as he said, he just wanted to remind us that the development there is probably dead.

However, it is indeed important for Lu Zhengyi to have clear news on this matter.

At least it's not like what Zhang Xueming said before. When the hard work is finished, people will just be stuck in the review step and won't let their movie go online.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhengyi yawned and didn't pay much attention to the matter.

After all, times have changed. Even if some things are blocked from the network level, there are always people who can find other routes.

But when he reopened the door and walked in, he saw that his wife had sat up and was leaning on the pillow, waiting for something.

"Did you finish the phone call?"

She asked softly when she saw him entering the room.

"Next time before I go to bed, I must turn off the phone."

Lu Zhengyi walked over, threw the phone aside, and got into bed again, "Did you hear it just now?"

"Well, I vaguely heard something." Zhang Xueming nodded, moved closer to him, and stayed close to him, "It's all a matter of diplomacy. Let's just make a horror movie. Is it so serious?"

"It's a good idea if we film in China."

"Why go abroad? They only have so many things to do."

Just ban it. She had already been mentally prepared before. When this fact came, she didn't have much emotion.

What she is more concerned about now is why she is fine at home, but has problems when she goes abroad.

This issue involves the feasibility of future development in other countries.

"We have a lot of people to deal with in our country and can control it, but they...maybe not necessarily." Lu Zhengyi replied hesitantly, "I don't know the situation on their side. After all, I am just a director and a movie maker. I don't have To find out what the specific situation is.”

"But judging from their attitude this time, they should be quite reluctant to deal with those matters."

"I know what you're worried about. Such problems may arise again in the future, but it's just a possibility."
