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

Chapter 387 [This is a horror movie]

": Remember, when watching Terror Cruise, do not read the introduction, do not listen to what others say, and do not read the analysis! Important things must be said three times!"

": After watching the film, I don't know how to describe my feelings. I can only say that Director Lu is awesome!"

": This is an excellent work. The quality of this work can completely surpass all of Director Lu's previous films. It is no longer a pure horror film!"

": Very depressing, very powerless, the psychological suggestion is very strong... Don't enter if you are faint-hearted!"

": This film is unprecedentedly infectious. After watching the film, I wanted to write some analysis posts, but the words I typed out were completely different from what I imagined. I can't describe what I saw with my own eyes."

": I feel like crying after watching it..."

……

When Lu Zhengyi said goodbye to Li Chuanxin and returned home, there were already so many posts and buildings on the Internet discussing the horror cruise ship that no one knew.

As for the number one trending search, many media outlets competing to report on it, and the box office data ranking first during the same period...all of these were taken for granted and not worth his attention.

What concerned Lu Zhengyi more was the content of the comments.

Among them, the audiences who have watched the movie all have the same idea, that is, "seeing is believing."

They advise others who have not watched the film not to judge it based on other people's analysis, introductions or text descriptions.

Don’t learn about horror cruises from other people’s mouths, go and see them with your own eyes and experience them.

"How is the performance of the new work? It should be going well. Has it met expectations?"

When I got home, my mother was playing with An An in the living room.

Ayong wagged his tail lazily, teasing him from time to time.

"Some time ago, Xue Ming was busy with your affairs. The push messages in my phone were all about you."

Seeing that he had returned home, his mother asked, "With such a strong promotion, the box office data should have exploded."

She used to be in the entertainment industry, and her husband is also a director. She occasionally pays attention to things in this circle.

"It should be fine. As for the data, we have to wait for the company to compile it."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually that he was not paying attention to the box office.

"That's it."

The mother nodded, and then said nothing more.

There weren't many topics to talk about between mother and son.

But compared to Yu's appearance when he just finished filming and returned home two months ago, now that two months have passed, she has gradually gotten used to the contact with this "not so familiar" son.

She just needs to focus more on the child Lu Yongan.

As for other things, she ignored them all.

Whether it was the couple's affairs, the strange cat, or the snake by the pond in the courtyard...

She was confused about many, many things, but she pretended not to know.

Already in her early seventies, she knew how she should stay in this family.

The movie premiered in the afternoon, and when I got home after watching it, it was already past four o'clock.

Because his mother was taking care of the children, Lu Zhengyi went to the kitchen by himself to prepare dinner.

Share for two adults, plus share for one child, plus a cat and a snake.

Zhang Xueming didn't plan to go home for dinner.

Today is the premiere day of Horror Cruise, and she has a lot of things to do in the company. She has already sent a text message and will have dinner in the company cafeteria in the evening.

"Ouch!"

As children grow up, eating generally becomes a hassle.

When children are able to run and jump, they seem to have endless energy and are naughty all the time.

Even when eating, sometimes the parents have to hold the bowls and follow behind to coax and feed the children.

In comparison, Lu Yongan has much less worries.

At the dining table, Lu Zhengyi was eating with his mother and Ayong.

In the distance, Lu Yongan ran to the TV to turn on it, and then ran to the sofa to jump. But no matter how he played, he could always swallow the food in his mouth and run back to Lu Zhengyi.

At this time, Lu Zhengyi would use a spoon to scoop out a mouthful of rice and meat with sauce from his small bowl and feed it into his mouth.

Then, Lu Yongan puffed his lips and continued to run happily into the living room.

"I don't know if it's because he's too greedy, or if you two have a good relationship."

Whenever Liu Huiyun watched this scene, she always felt incredible, "When you were a kid, I held a bowl and chased you for most of the day, but you were reluctant to open your mouth and eat a bite of food."

At her age, her best friends, her best friends’ daughters, or even her best friends’ grandchildren or great-grandchildren… may already have one.

Occasionally, you would hear from them that they express their helplessness about how naughty their children were when they were young.

Even she herself was annoyed by Lu Zhengyi when he was a child.

When the child was just born, she was still willing to take care of him.

But later I lost my patience and focused on work, leaving my children to the care of grandparents and nannies.

Lu Zhengyi did not respond.

At that time, he was just an ordinary person and didn't know much about that memory.

But Lu Yongan's words should be inclined towards the latter.

He is very close to me, probably because I can always clearly understand his thoughts.

When the child himself is very ignorant and sometimes even has difficulty expressing himself through words or body language, as a father, he can carefully observe what the child wants.

It was the day when a new work was released, but Lu Zhengyi, the person involved, seemed like an outsider.

The chaos and war outside has nothing to do with this family.

He didn't even pay special attention to the messages on his phone and turned on the Do Not Disturb mode.

His phone will not receive any alerts except for messages or calls from people he particularly cares about.

but……

Now, the person you pay special attention to most likely doesn't have time to call or send a message.

The night is not long.

After dinner, I cleaned up the dishes, took out the trash, took a shower, watched TV with the kids, and hung the washed clothes out to dry...

Lu Zhengyi does these things every day after returning home, and occasionally he also mops the floor and wipes the windows.

In fact, for things like this, he could have hired a cleaning staff to clean the place regularly.

But he still chose to do it himself. These tasks were not tiring. To be more precise, it should be said that it required patience.

Coincidentally, Lu Zhengyi is very patient.

"Children are ignorant, please understand."

"Hey, when he grows up, he will have to call you Uncle Yong."

"Okay, follow the crew and call you Master Cat."

In the living room, Lu Zhengyi, who had finished all the chores in life, opened a bottle of beer and chatted with Ayong.

But the main thing was to listen to him complain about Lu Yongan.

Too noisy, too rowdy, always pulling his tail... all kinds of things.

But there is no way. Apart from Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming, A Yong should be An An's third favorite.

"Meow……"

Ayong held an octopus tentacles in his mouth and kept talking.

"Filming? Hmm... probably less often. Maybe not, or maybe not until An An grows up." Lu Zhengyi threw a fried peanut into his mouth and replied, "It depends on the situation. I'm not interested in filming now anyway."

If you are not interested at the moment, then don’t do it.

He is lucky that he can be the kind of person who gives up when he has no interest, rather than the kind of person who feels very tired but has to work.

"Meow!"

From his tone, Ayong expressed his dissatisfaction. "You can go for a walk. Anyway, I'm at home now."

Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "It's time for you to go out for a walk. You've been staying at home since Xue Ming became pregnant. It's been... more than three years, right? You can go out for a walk."

At first, his wife was pregnant, and he was afraid that she couldn't handle it alone, so he asked Ayong to stay at home and take care of her.

Later, when the child was born, the object of his protection became the child again.

Ayong is a very competent bodyguard.

But now that I'm back, I can take over his job.

"Meow……"

Ayong replied dejectedly. It was not that he didn't want to leave, but he didn't know where to go after leaving here.

“Dululu——”

The sound of the smart door lock being opened came from the door.

In the living room, the man and the cat who were chatting looked up.

Lu Zhengyi took the time to look at the clock. It was past two o'clock.

Sixteen, almost seventeen hours had passed since she left for work at nine in the morning.

There should be a break in between, right?

"..."

With the sound of subtle footsteps, Zhang Xueming tied her hair up, looking very capable in appearance, but her performance was completely different from her dress.

She walked in from the door, her feet completely dragging on the ground, without even changing her shoes.

Then, without saying a word, she dragged her feet to the sofa and fell straight down.

"call--"

Zhang Xueming exhaled with her eyes closed.

"You're so tired, why don't you let me pick you up?" Lu Zhengyi frowned, "Drowsy driving is very dangerous."

As he spoke, he helped her take off her shoes. Ayong also went to the shoe cabinet at the door and pulled her slippers over.

"I asked my assistant to drive me back." Zhang Xueming replied with her eyes closed. She barely opened her mouth when she spoke, and her words were a little unclear.

However, translating her words was not difficult for Lu Zhengyi.

"Shall I carry you to take a bath?"

Lu Zhengyi asked hesitantly.

"Ah."

Zhang Xueming's voice sounded like a whisper. This time when she came back, she didn't even talk about work.

If the situation is fine, she will definitely talk about the box office of the new film, or the feedback from the United States about the film.

Lu Zhengyi knows his wife too well.

If I were to say, I consider film-making as a hobby.

Then, she treats her work as a hobby.

How can someone treat work as a hobby? He sometimes doesn't quite understand, but he respects everyone's hobbies.

And because of my wife's strong personality and her concern for reputation, she is extremely strict with herself.

Now in the company, many, no, most people think that she is successful because of herself. With her personality, she will definitely fight for it and prove herself.

She has always been like this.

Rather than standing behind others, she seems to prefer walking side by side.

"Actually, I want to make some things public, so that people know that besides me being the person in front of the camera, you also do a lot of things behind the scenes, such as posting updates."

The two of them tidied up and lay down on the bed.

Lu Zhengyi hesitated, picked up the phone and put it in front of her.

Zhang Xueming had just finished blow-drying her hair and was leaning lazily on the pillow, glancing at her phone with half-closed eyes.

Soon, her tired eyes opened.

Her eyes were fixed on the phone and her lips were unconsciously pursed.

On the mobile phone screen, Lu Zhengyi has already edited a post, and the text on it tells about his work experiences over the years.

From the very beginning when the two of them met, to when I trusted him, I took the initiative to sign various contracts and poured resources into helping with promotion and public relations.

There are many things that the public is not aware of.

In the public's view, they can only see Lu Zhengyi producing good works again and again and becoming a hot topic again and again.

Sometimes, in front of their eyes, there are even more scenes of the Mei Limao crew than his wife Zhang Xueming.

After all, the main project direction of Light and Shadow was all post-production promotion and distribution.

From film preheating, release date setting, theater application... in the final analysis, it is more of a behind-the-scenes job.

It is impossible for them to deliberately mention Guangying's name when promoting the work, and it is impossible for them to say something like "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village is scheduled to be released on April 1st, and the poster and copy are produced by Guangying Media."

At most, the company name would be included in the end credits of a movie.

But how many people will pay attention to that company?

Not to mention Zhang Xueming who stands in this group in the company.

So most people don’t know that when no one believed that Lu Zhengyi could succeed, it was Zhang Xueming who saw his ability and went from conditional trust to unconditional trust, and then to complete devotion...

At the beginning, Zhang Xueming was in charge of the control of public opinion on "true" and "false", the pursuit of hot searches, the promotion of videos, and the publicity by bloggers.

Even at that time, she was not the vice president, not even the manager.

Many people in the Light and Shadow Company opposed her choice.

But now, most people seem to have forgotten.

Just like after Bai Wei became the assistant director, many people in the crew forgot how difficult it was for him in the beginning, and many people easily forget the past.

But Lu Zhengyi remembered that as Zhang Xueming's partner and husband, he certainly could not forget these.

"Don't send it."

Zhang Xueming stared at the screen in a daze for a long time, then suddenly raised her hand and pressed his palm.

There was no more fatigue in her eyes, but determination.

"..."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her face.

After a while, he smiled helplessly, "Isn't it time yet?"

"Well, it's not the right time yet."

Zhang Xueming nodded and a smile also appeared on her face.

She closed her eyes again and lazily lay back on the pillow, but she didn't let go of her hand. Instead, she held it tighter. "You always understand what I want."

Instead of speaking for yourself now, you should publicize your own achievements.

She would rather speak out when her efforts are discovered and recognized by others.

However, when Zhang Xueming saw the edited status on her husband's phone, she couldn't help but feel emotional. When everyone else had forgotten, when her parents had forgotten, and even when she herself had almost forgotten, her husband still remembered.

"Good night."

She spoke in a muffled, low voice.

"OK, good night."

Lu Zhengyi replied, stood up, turned off the lights, and lay quietly beside him.

On the night of the premiere of Grim Reaper, they did not talk about data or work as they did in the past.

He just knew that she was tired and she needed to rest.
