Radio and television asked "Invasion of Darkness" to cut the terrifying scenes, and at the same time thought that the ending was too dark and asked for revision.

It's easy to say that the horror scenes are deleted, but it is more troublesome to modify the ending, because Cheng Peng's version that Chen Ran sent for review ended when he ran out of the cave, and it was already a pretty bright ending.

Chen Shaoping first put forward his own suggestion: "Isn't the ending of "Lonely Soul in the Black Mansion" a neurosis, we can also do the same, that is, a few female neuropaths tell stories in the hospital!" ”

Cheng Peng knows that in order to avoid censorship, domestic horror films are often interpreted as schizophrenia and man-made crimes in the end, so domestic horror films are labeled by the audience as pretending to be ghosts and fooling the audience's IQ, and he doesn't want to do this: "No, this is suspected of fooling the audience, which will cause the audience to have a strong disgust." ”

Zhang Meng groaned and said, "I don't know if you have watched "Mulholland Drive", in fact, we can do this, and the part after the crash is completely in the dream to deal with." In the scene in the hospital after the crash, Chen Ran was lying on the hospital bed, in a coma, at this time, the camera slowly advanced towards Chen Ran's face, the picture went black, and then Chen Ran was startled, sat up from the bed, and everything that happened next was a dream. Finally, Chen Ran saw Zhu Zhu's fooling around in the car, and the camera pulled back to the hospital, Chen Ran sat up from the bed, her husband and daughter were by her side, and there was a happy ending. ”

Chen Shaoping said disapprerovingly: "This is similar to the ending of neurosis!" ”

Zhang Meng shook his head with a smile and said: "The use of neurotic endings is particularly abrupt, many things don't make sense, and some unreasonable things in the movie that use dreams can make sense, for example, Chen Ran has been relatively weak at the beginning, and finally became as fierce as a monster, many media said it was a bit exaggerated during the film festival, but if it was a dream, it would make sense." ”

Cheng Peng thinks this is a pretty good idea: "If it is a dream, the cave in the movie is not a real cave, but a symbol is the dark side of Chen Ran's heart, when the six of them walked to the cave, they walked into this darkness, so the others were swallowed by this darkness, only Chen Ran left along a passage that symbolized light." The monster in the cave is the embodiment of Chen Ran's inner darkness, so it is humanoid and has a strong symbolic meaning. However, the dream represents the deep expectations and desires that cannot be realized in the real world, why Zhu Zhu and the five of them were killed in the dream, this needs to be reasonably explained, and the relationship between the characters may need to be modified. ”

Chen Shaoping nodded and said, "It sounds even better than the original version!" ”

Zhang Meng smiled: "Yes, the original story was just an ordinary horror film, and in this way, it has become a deconstruction of the characters' hearts and dreams. ”

Cheng Peng smiled and continued: "Don't think about winning the award, I don't think this dream has to be in the hospital, it can also be at the scene of the car accident, it can be a dream that Chen Ran had when he was dying." ”

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up and said: "A dream when I was dying, this idea is a bit interesting, you can talk about it specifically." ”

Just as Cheng Peng and the others were discussing the script, articles began to appear in the newspaper for "No Thieves in the World", and there were more and more such articles in the next two days.

After Wang Zhonglei saw these reports, he couldn't sit still, picked up two newspapers and walked out of the office.

When I walked into Wang Zhongjun's office, I saw Wang Zhongjun sitting on a large and luxurious sofa, fiddling with a set of exquisite tea sets.

"Brother, have you read these newspapers?" Wang Zhonglei handed the newspaper in his hand to Wang Zhongjun.

Wang Zhongjun followed the newspaper, flipped through it, and said with a faint smile: "Look, this is someone doing a free advertisement for us, "No Thieves in the World" is a fire before it is released!" ”

"This is not a trivial matter, saying that "No Thieves in the World" glorifies thieves and promotes negative energy, and the script of "No Thieves in the World" the year before last was not reviewed for this reason. If it gets bigger, I'm afraid there will be trouble! ”

"Don't worry, the roots of radio and television are not so soft, if you post a few articles casually, you can make radio and television change their minds, and radio and television have already implemented a grading system. The people of radio and television are not fools, and it is impossible not to see who is making trouble. Cheng Peng is too young, his actions are like a vindictive child, not only can not cause the slightest damage to us, but increase our popularity! ”

"Didn't we also publish an article criticizing their "Invasion of Darkness", saying that they were entertained to death and did not consider the spiritual needs of the audience!"

"It's different, they really got into trouble and scared people out of the hospital. What is radio and television most afraid of, I am afraid of this kind of thing, we send these articles to promote electricity, so that they can make a decision as soon as possible, even if they don't ban "Dark Invasion", at least they have to make significant changes to the movie, so that it will be difficult for "Dark Invasion" to enter the Chinese New Year file! ”

"Brother, you are still smart, where will Cheng Peng's little kid be your opponent!" Wang Zhonglei laughed.

At the same time, Cheng Peng was also reading an article about "There Are No Thieves in the World" in his office, the whole article was extremely sharp, the whole text was like a dagger and a spear, and he said that "There Are No Thieves in the World" as a big poisonous weed from the height of spiritual civilization construction.

Cheng Peng hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, picked up the phone and dialed Zhao Linlin, and when the phone was connected, he said directly: "Linlin, come here, I have something to discuss with you!" ”

Zhao Linlin walked into the office and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Peng smiled: "I read the article on counterattack, it's very good." But this doesn't play a role, then find a new media and publish an article, you can't come forward in this matter, find a reliable person, let him find a media in the name of Sister Lan! ”

Zhao Linlin couldn't help but be stunned when she heard that it was sent in the name of Sister Lan, this woman was the mortal enemy of the signal flag, so she asked, "I don't know what kind of article I want to post?" ”

Cheng Peng said lightly: ""Dark Invasion" is such a bloody and terrifying movie that can scare people, and there is an insider that can pass the trial. According to the informant, in order to pass the trial, the signal flag sent money to Han Shanping and the people of the General Bureau. ”

"You're crazy, aren't you pouring dirty water on yourself?" Zhao Linlin couldn't believe her ears, now "Dark Invasion" is already in a hurry, at this time you still said that you sent money to the General Administration, isn't this looking for death!!

Cheng Peng smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it's just pouring dirty water on yourself!" ”

Zhao Linlin really couldn't understand: "But why? There has to be a reasonable explanation! ”

"You also know that people in radio and television are afraid of accidents, unless our film is greatly revised, it will be difficult to pass the review, and the movie will definitely not be released this year, but as long as this article is sent out, our movie will have a chance to be released!"

"This article will not only offend radio and television, but also offend Han Shanping, but also pour sewage on himself, I really can't see where the opportunity is."

"That's why I asked you to find a reliable person, and use Sister Lan's reputation to find a reporter, I have a conflict with her, it's normal for her to post a slander against me, how can others think that I did it!"

"But it's not good for Dark Invasion?"

"Linlin, those people in radio and television are all officials, you have to think from the perspective of officials."

Seeing that Zhao Linlin still didn't understand, Cheng Peng shook his head and analyzed the reasons to her. The key to this is radio and television, in fact, when "Invasion of Darkness" scared John Paulman into the hospital, the movie was already sentenced to death in the hearts of radio and television, and it was decided that this was a movie that could cause trouble. If the movie wants to be released, it can only make them change their minds.

"Invasion of Darkness" was originally reviewed, and Radio and Television thought that there was no problem with this movie and it could be released. Now Cheng Peng makes people question how "Dark Invasion" passed the trial, and he said out of nothing that radio and television took benefits, which is questioning the authority of radio and television, and it is a serious provocation to radio and television.

What kind of department is radio and television, Cheng Peng knows too well, Zhang Yimou is such an awesome person "Alive" is banned when he says it is banned, and Jiang Wen's strong connections are directly banned for five years. Especially Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", after the movie failed to be reviewed, the media lashed out at radio and television, netizens spat one-sidedly, and this movie is still invested by China Film, Han Shanping came forward to no avail, and waited for four years until he was satisfied.

For radio and television, their decision cannot be questioned, if you want to change it, you will change it, and if you say that you will ban you, how can there be so much nonsense. Now question the review of "Dark Invasion" and challenge their authority, will radio and television go your way?

Big joke!

What's more, this article is slandering them, saying that they took the benefits of Cheng Peng. The people who review the film on radio and television are basically officials, and the officials are most afraid of this kind of thing, they will never dare to slack off, and they will inevitably prove their innocence. Therefore, not only will they not ban "Dark Invasion", but they will let "Dark Invasion" be released with great fanfare.

Quite simply, if the ban on "Invasion of Darkness" means that there is something really wrong with the movie, then it is a matter of collecting money. And letting the movie come out shows that the movie is normal and there are no problems.

This is the result that Cheng Peng wants.

Of course, because "Invasion of Darkness" is more terrifying, there may be a situation where the audience is frightened, and the radio and television are unwilling to take risks, and if they want to release the movie, they still have to make modifications.

To be honest, if Huayi doesn't stand up, "Dark Invasion" will definitely not be released in China this year, even if it is greatly modified, I am afraid it will drag on for two or three years, just like "No Man's Land".

It's different when Huayi stands up and splashes dirty water, although outsiders don't know what's going on, but insiders know at a glance that they are making trouble. At this time, Cheng Peng poured a basin of dirty water on Radio and Television, and everyone would not suspect Cheng Peng, but would only think that Huayi did it.

There is another advantage to this, everyone thinks that the dirty water is splashed by Huayi, and radio and television must think so, so Huayi stands on the opposite side of radio and television, and "There Are No Thieves in the World" will inevitably bear the wrath of radio and television. At this time, Cheng Peng's criticism of "No Thieves in the World" and complaints came into play, and Radio and Television would inevitably use this as a reason to send "No Thieves in the World" back and let them revise it.

"No Thieves in the World" was dragged into the water!

In this way, Huayi has to carry out public relations for the censorship of "No Thieves in the World", if Huayi's public relations can't be done, "No Thieves in the World" will not be released this year, and the opponent of "Dark Invasion" will go to one. Even if Huayi can go down for public relations, it will take time, and their publicity plan will inevitably be disrupted, while Cheng Peng can make changes to "Dark Invasion" with peace of mind and wait for work.

There is another benefit, when the people of Huayi know that this news was released by Sister Lan, they will naturally be angry with her, and the cooperation between the two may come to an end. Huayi is a very powerful company, especially Feng Xiaogang's box office appeal is very strong, if Sister Lan and Huayi continue to get mixed together, it will be difficult to deal with. And once the cooperation with Huayi falls apart, Sister Lan will inevitably find other collaborators, and at this time, Cheng Peng may lead her to the pit with a little guidance.

Zhao Linlin was stunned after listening to Cheng Peng's analysis, a seemingly ordinary report actually hides so many mysteries, at this moment she has only one evaluation of Cheng Peng, it is too insidious!
