Chapter 323 [Similar atmosphere]

Looking forward to it?

Lu Zhengyi is really looking forward to it.

Adapting this is a very challenging process in itself.

Any original work is like the white moonlight of childhood to others.

How stunning and impressive the moment of first meeting and acquaintance was, and how it was even praised as a classic by netizens, how difficult it was to adapt it.

How many directors and actors have just tried to adapt a work from a novel or comic, and their reputation has dropped to the point where others immediately get bored and give up the idea of ​​watching it when they see him among the cast and crew.

Therefore, this type of film is not only very difficult for the director, but also a great challenge for the actors.

And the difficulty brought about by this kind of adaptation is not limited to the Tang Dynasty.

After all, countries like the Republic of China, the Southern Dynasties, and even those in the West also have a hobby of adapting comics and literary works into movies and TV series. However, there are not many works that can satisfy fans of the original works.

"Actually, the external pressure should be on both of you."

As for Zhou Jie, she is over fifty years old and unmarried.

Lu Zhengyi explained while leading the two of them off the plane.

"Our crew has previously cooperated with some entertainment companies in the Southern Dynasty for the release of several movies, so I believe that the preparations will be completed soon."

With her self-reliant and aloof temperament as a cultivator, it is probably impossible for her to like anyone in her life.

As for Ito, he is sixty years old and unmarried.

She spoke Tang dialect.

But when he thought of this, Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

"it's me."

"Compared with the price given by investors, Tomie's adaptation failed too much, resulting in a decline in reputation and evaluation. It seems to me that the loss is greater."

Unexpectedly, Ito, the creator, would actually meet Tomie in real life.

It wasn't a big deal, so they didn't refuse.

The flight to Nanchao was a little faster than the flight to He. It departed in the morning and arrived near noon.

On the plane heading to the Southern Dynasties, Ito sat with Lu Zhengyi and Zhou Jie.

Because isn’t this the plot of Fu Jiangli?

But he wasn't that optimistic about it either.

For international flights like this, the staff responsible for connecting must speak at least three languages ​​to meet the standard.

"Hello, here are our passports and visas."

Saying that, Ito paused, "But I think our work can be successful."

"Others from the crew have come here in advance to prepare."

Inside the window, the woman in charge of handling affairs skillfully took the things, but after seeing a few names on the passport, she visibly paused and her eyes widened.

Lu Zhengyi listened silently and did not interrupt.

"This work revolves around the character Tomi Jiang. As for the other characters, they are not that important."

"But every time those investors bring the actor who plays Fu Jiang to me, the greed in my heart is instantly dispelled. She shouldn't be like that. I have this feeling in my heart. If I let her If you come to Fujiang, you will definitely fail.”

"As for Teacher Zhou, he plays Fu Jiang again."

Therefore, Ito is destined to only pay one-sidedly and not be able to reap the results.

These words were spoken as if they were on a talk show.

"To be honest, in fact, over the years, it is not that no one has given me a price that makes me excited. Although I am a cartoonist and an artist, I am also a human being and I am also tempted by money."

As for the rest of the crew, they had already arrived first.

"Director Lu is a director. If it doesn't work well, someone will definitely say something."

Although the age was considered appropriate, Lu Zhengyi felt that Zhou Jie probably looked down on her.

Since he was going to the Southern Dynasties to shoot, of course Lu Zhengyi had learned the corresponding language just like before when he went to the Republic of China to develop, so that he could direct the work during the filming.

Although they have changed to a different country, the rest of the crew is already familiar with overseas filming. There is no need for a large group of people to come together one after another like before.

Originally, they planned to meet up directly in Nanchao Kingdom, but Ito suddenly contacted them one day before departure, saying that he had arrived in Tang Kingdom and planned to join them and then go to Nanchao Kingdom together.

"So I gave up. Over the years, I have never handed over the adaptation rights."

Lu Zhengyi listened and looked at Ito. Although Ito seemed to be talking to the two of them, in fact, his eyes were on Zhou Jie from time to time.

Lu Zhengyi didn't want to ask too much about what the two of them, or should I say, Ito thought about unilaterally.

"Let's go to the hotel now and start working on the audition tomorrow..."

The woman looked at the three people carefully through the glass of the window, picked up the IDs and compared them again and again, and quickly said politely, "May I ask Director Lu Zhengyi?"

But there is also a bit of a heart-to-heart feeling.

Then, he led the two people to the counter, handed over the IDs of the three people, and spoke in skillful Southern Korean.

This thought...

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "Is there anything wrong with the certificate?"

It looks like he recognized himself, but he can't ask for his autograph or a photo, right?

After all, people are still at work.

This kind of business shouldn't be so unprofessional.

"No, no problem."

The staff member quickly waved his hand and said, "There is something going on here. You may need to leave through other passages in the airport. Wait, I will ask the ground staff to take you out."

"I just received a notification that there seems to be some of your fans here at the airport, or maybe..."

“Other people’s fans.”

She looked at the two people behind Lu Zhengyi. One of them seemed to be a very famous actor. Although she didn't recognize him, with his appearance, he was definitely a high-profile actor.

As for Ito, she also didn't recognize the appearance, but she knew the other person's name.

A very famous Japanese cartoonist.

But no matter what, he should be a very popular public figure.

Of course the airport knows the identity information of each batch of passengers. As soon as Lu Zhengyi and others got on the plane, the airport already knew it and has been paying close attention to it.

When there were some activities like fan pick-ups at the airport, they reacted immediately.

You have to stop people at the window and arrange other ways to leave.

"Fans?" Lu Zhengyi was a little surprised. He was not a celebrity and would not arrange any pick-up activities.

So...how did the itinerary come to light?

"Yes, they are waiting at the exit now." The staff quickly explained, "But in order to avoid disorder at the airport, we hope that you can cooperate and leave through other channels. If you need it, we will also We can help you contact a special car to get you to your destination as soon as possible.”

The meaning of these few words is to send people away quickly to prevent those fans from causing chaos.

"Of course, of course, no problem, we will cooperate with your work."

Of course Lu Zhengyi would not refuse this arrangement. Mainly, he did not expect that there would be fans from the Southern Dynasty country voluntarily coming to pick him up.

It should be a spontaneous activity, right?

According to the arrangements of the airport ground staff, Lu Zhengyi and the others left the airport through another passage.

When leaving, they checked toward the door.

There are indeed many fans gathering at the entrance of the airport, and there are some posters, banners and so on.

And the contents are all things that look very curious, very scary, and very bloody.

There is also a life-size poster of "Gaya Coconut" inside, which is placed at the entrance of the airport, like a door god.

It’s true that they are fans.

Lu Zhengyi looked at those things and knew that these people were indeed here to pick him up at the airport. After all, except for his fans, no one else would put such things on the plane.

"I thought Director Lu didn't like this... scene."

After getting on the special car to the hotel, Ito couldn't help but say, "I remember that your usual schedule seems to be quite low-key. I can't find anyone who can find you privately except for the public schedule."

Now that he decided to cooperate, he certainly had to learn more about Lu Zhengyi.

Apart from some public information on the Internet, there is almost no information about private life.

No fans can 'encounter' Lu Zhengyi, and no one knows what other hobbies and interests he has in private besides work.

"It should be the fans' initiative. I didn't arrange such an event." Lu Zhengyi took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Assistant Wang, "But we can't rule out that it was arranged by our friends here."

Soon, he got a reply from Wang Yao and reluctantly picked up the phone.

"It seems that I guessed half of it. Our itinerary was exposed by the cooperative company in the Southern Dynasty. However, they did not deliberately conceal it at the beginning, and they are not responsible." Lu Zhengyi explained, "But the person who picked up the plane The activity is indeed a spontaneous act by fans.”

He was a little surprised.

It is not easy for fans to spontaneously organize offline activities.

Even for those traffic stars, many have brokerage teams managing and arranging related activities.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for fans as a group to complete the preparation and allocation of funds, confirmation of itineraries, and even the reporting of event attendees.

But just such a simple thing made Lu Zhengyi feel some of the atmosphere of the entertainment industry in the Southern Dynasties.

Compared to Yu Heguo, the atmosphere in the entertainment industry here seems to be more similar to the atmosphere in China.

Of course, there is also the media aspect.

": The Grudge crew suddenly showed up at Incheon Airport. Director Noh Zhengyi himself has arrived in the Southern Dynasties."

": Internationally renowned horror director Masayoshi Noh's new movie may be filmed in the Great Southern Dynasty!"

": Ito, a well-known Japanese cartoonist..."

Just by using his mobile phone to connect to the network in the Southern Dynasty and opening some media platforms that had been installed early in the morning, Lu Zhengyi saw one after another marketing tweets that were similar to domestic Weibo, Tieba, and short videos.

And what is written above is even more exaggerated.

'Internationally renowned director', Lu Zhengyi just wanted to laugh at this title.

Is it internationally renowned? Since he started filming The Grudge, although his fame has spread beyond the Tang Dynasty and gained some overseas fans, the greater scope is still in the Dongzhou area.

As for farther, maybe there are, but only a few.

But in the eyes of these southern media, he has become an internationally renowned director.

Of course, this is also normal operation here.

For example, when some international brands in food and clothing settle in the Southern Dynasties, the media will vigorously promote them and put all kinds of exaggerated names on them. After all, they elevate the other party, so with that The 'I' who cooperates naturally has weight.

": I have been thinking about this day since Noh Masayoshi invited Ahn Hyo-joo to participate in The Grudge."

": Hahahaha, this is the market of the Great Southern Dynasty. Even such a famous director comes here to seek cooperation!"

": I liked Director Lu very much after watching The Grudge, but now I like him even more. I want to watch all his previous works tonight!"

": Oh Mo, Dafa! What did I see? Lu Zhengyi's cooperation!"

": The market in the Republic of China is too small and the structure is too small to accommodate Director Lu. Our country in the Southern Dynasties is different. It is open to all rivers and can accommodate all cultures. It will never ban a movie because the content is too horrific. matter!"

": This is the Korean Wave! Our Oppas are very famous internationally. I hope Director Lu can cooperate with our Heechul Oppa this time~"

Under these marketing tweets, Lu Zhengyi also saw corresponding comments.

Obviously, netizens here in the Southern Dynasties are very fond of this.

The more the media in the Southern Dynasty promoted Lu Zhengyi's high status and greatness, the more proud they felt.

"Originally, I thought that the market here would be very repulsive to us." Lu Zhengyi read the news along the way and smiled helplessly when he got off the car, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. We haven't even filmed this yet. It's so popular. It’s that high.”

He even had a feeling that even if the quality of the film produced was not satisfactory, the netizens from the Southern Dynasties would be so excited about it.

"It's very similar to the domestic environment."

Zhou Jie just browsed the Internet for a while and read some comments, but she didn't pay much attention to it or even read more. "No, it should be said that it is more... serious and radical than in China."

She didn't really care about the content.

Even if the film fails, she won't care how people scold her on the Internet.

From the moment she embarked on the path of spiritual practice, she was no longer an actress. She was in a state of semi-retirement. After all, this was not her ambition.

The more you care about something, the more you will get angry and sad because of other people's words. If you don't care about the content at all, there is nothing to care about.

Zhou Jie agreed to participate in the filming now because she wanted to get to know Lu Zhengyi more deeply.

"I'll go in first. If you need anything, call me via mobile phone."

After casually saying a word, she was like a fairy who had just emerged from the world, taking out the suitcase from the trunk of the car with one hand and walking towards the hotel.

"Teacher Zhou, let me get it for you."

As for the attentive Ito next to her, Zhou Jie didn't even pay much attention and continued to pull the suitcase by herself.

But it was her arrogant but independent look that made Ito like her even more, and he followed her eagerly.
