Chapter 26: The Challenge
"Master, how do you arrange our trip to China this time?"
Inside the Modu Airport, two Siamese men who had just gotten off the plane were walking out of the baggage carousel.
The person who came was none other than Pala, known as the "Four Great Ghost Kings" of Siam, and his apprentice Shachu.
Siam's terror industry is exceptionally developed and known all over the world.
Not only in Asia, but also in the world.
The reason why it is so developed is due to several major reasons.
First of all, in terms of the market, Siam's own population is not large, less than 70 million, so the domestic film and television market is very small.
As a result, the scale of film and television investment will not be too large.
And the horror theme is a typical example of a small investment and a big return, and Siam's film and television companies are definitely willing to do this business, after all, even if they lose, they can't lose much.
Secondly, as a religious country, its original cultural customs are also very suitable for nourishing horror themes.
Head-lowering technique, witchcraft, Gu magic...... All kinds of evil arts are already prevalent in Siam, and it is suitable as a source for horror novels or film and television dramas.
These evil arts are not codified in film and television dramas, but are a custom that exists in the life of Siamese people.
Coupled with the support of the Siamese government, the horror theme is very popular in the local area, after all, this thing can also earn foreign exchange and increase the influence of the country at the same time.
Pala is one of the leaders, this time he came to China, just to open up a bigger market!
As mentioned before, the market of 70 million people is too small, and it is full of experts.
Now that the more than 2 billion supermarkets in China are in front of you, if you can take a big bite, you will not be able to eat a mouth full of oil.
What's more, Huaxia's weakness in horror themes is obvious to all, to put it simply, it is......
Not a single one can fight!
Oh, and it can't be said that, according to Parra's investigation, there seem to be three "heavenly kings" in the world of Chinese horror novels.
"Sha Chu, this time we came to Huaxia to cooperate with a company with strong enough strength to make a lot of money by shooting film works."
"Since we want to cooperate, we have to let the whole of China know the strength of our Siamese people."
"Let these big companies understand that we are the strongest, stronger than anyone in their Chinese horror world!"
"In this way, we can get the best conditions for cooperation!"
Pala has great ambitions, and this time he is the first person to enter the Chinese market.
He's going to make a big fuss!
"Sha Chu, this time our master and apprentice are going to show their hands together."
"You're good at screenplays and short stories, so start with that."
"And I......" Para smiled: "Let's give a short film to the Chinese audience first!" ”
At the exit of the airport, Chen Yanan was looking at his watch from time to time, and the time should be almost up.
"Yo, Mr. Chen is also there."
only heard a cheap middle-aged male voice coming from behind her, Chen Yanan frowned at the moment, and his expression was as if he had eaten a dead fly.
But when I turned around, I greeted him with a smile.
"It's Mr. Li, you are a dignified Red Sea film and television manager, how do you have time to come to the airport, do you want to go on a business trip?"
Li Se swept Chen Yanan's proud body back and forth with eyes that wanted to strip off the other party's clothes.
"Mingren doesn't say dark words, Para and our Red Sea will definitely be taken, you black cats are still dead in this heart."
"To each his own." Chen Yanan did not give in.
"Oh, it's such a coincidence today, both of them are here."
Someone else is coming.
Blue Sky Video Manager, Zhu Ke.
"I went out today to see the yellow calendar, and I said that I was going to meet a nobleman, which is really accurate."
The faces of the two collapsed, and the manager-level figures of the three major video platforms actually had a big convergence outside the Modu Airport.
If there is thunder and lightning between the eyes of the three people, it is like fire and water.
At this time, Para just stepped out of the airport, and the three of them greeted him together.
Pala looked, it's good, this time I'm going to sell it for a price......
On the other end, Zheng Yi was gnawing on a professional book in the dormitory.
At this point, the phone rings.
"Tree man is big, do you have time to open a new book recently?"
Seeing that it was his cousin Zheng Yuan, he put down the book in his hand and thought for a while.
"You can open a book at any time."
Zheng Yuan was stunned when he saw the reply.
"Domineering!"
This kind of courage that does not refuse to come is not something that ordinary newcomers can have, and the aura tree alone is better than ninety percent of authors.
"Okay, you come up with the outline first, and then we will discuss it, and the editor-in-chief and I will apply for the best recommendation position for you."
"Okay, I'll get back to you when I have a specific direction."
He has a lot of books in his stomach, but he has to think carefully about which one to take, whether it is long or short.
But just thinking about it, I received a message from Zheng Yuan again.
"I'm sorry, Shuren Da, our editor-in-chief said, due to special circumstances, can you please release a new book later."
"Huh?"
Zheng Yuan also had a headache, and the office suddenly received news that the tomb of the real boss of black hole literature was about to open a book.
After understanding the situation, Zheng Yi was a little unhappy.
Why should I make way for him?
"Tree man, you can dissipate your anger first." Zheng Yuan was cautious, for fear of offending his lucky star.
That's right, it's a lucky star!
Zheng Yuan's salary came down last month, with a basic salary of 3,800, but a bonus of 20,000!
This is all due to the popularity of "Strange Tales of China", and he, the editor, has also been stained.
This also gave him an increasing position within the literature of black holes.
Originally, other editors called him Xiao Zheng when they saw him, but now they all call him Zheng Editor, and his tone is a lot closer.
This made Zheng Yuan, who had only been working for a short time, have a sense of belonging to the company for the first time.
"The tree man is big, in fact, this time it happened suddenly."
"Originally, the tomb boss did have plans to open a book, but not now."
"But just half an hour ago, a big event happened in our fiction world!"
After that, Zheng Yuan sent Zheng Yi a screenshot of Weibo.
"Greetings!"
"My name is Shachu and I'm from Siam."
"My master Pala and I recently set foot in the treasure land of China, and I heard that your country's culture is prosperous, and we can't reach it in Siam."
"My master and I are both devoted to horror works, and we are slightly famous at home and abroad."
"So, since I have come to the land of China, I want to communicate with my Chinese colleagues who are interested in horror themes."
"I'm good at making horror film and television scripts and writing short horror novels."
"Therefore, I want to communicate openly with the teacher of the Black Hole Literature Tomb, the teacher of the White Bone of Giant Stone Literature, and the ghost teacher of the Lights Out Literature."
"I will borrow the treasure of Weibo to publish short stories, and I hope that the three masters will give advice!"
"Greetings from Siam Sachu."
Zheng Yi frowned after reading it.
Greetings?
It's clearly a challenge book!
This guy named Sha Chu is really crazy.
Ancient tombs, white bones and ghosts are the three banners of the Chinese horror world, but he is famous one by one.
Obviously, he came prepared, and he named himself to write a short story, so he must have been preparing for a long time.
This guy is bad enough!
Zheng Yi was very unhappy, and the national mood rose.
This is obviously bullying our Huaxia.
However, the horror theme of China is indeed weak, which is nothing to say.
But you can't be so provoked by a small South Asian country!
At this point, when I think about it, maybe this is what the other party wants.
It is to make the three masters unable to get off the stage and rush to the battle.
In any case, it's not wrong to don't publish a new book at this time.
At this time, if you are strong, you will not only be looked down upon by outsiders, but also hated by your own people.
Today's stage belongs to Sha Chu and the three bigwigs.
"I know, then I'll be publishing a new book later, don't worry."
"Thank you for your understanding, I will plan the opening time for you separately."
"Okay, then I'll be in touch then."
Zheng Yi'an settled down and planned to continue reading.
At this time, the three roommates had just returned from the basketball court, and they were covered in stinky sweat.
"Still reading."
"There's new fun, don't you know?"
Kindness?
He's wondering again, New Fun?
Did they know about the novel?
The three of them picked up the water cup and poured it tons, and shook their hands after drinking.
"There is a guy from Siam, I heard that making ghost movies is very good, and he is also known as one of the four ghost kings."
"This time, bring this apprentice to our Huaxia to seek cooperation."
"I heard that he is a director, his apprentice is a screenwriter, and he plans to launch a horror short film, announced it on Weibo, and @ a bunch of horror film directors."
"This is obviously a provocation!"
Oh, that's it......
Zheng Yi reacted, one of the master and apprentice is making trouble in the film and television industry, and the other is making trouble in the fiction industry, which is to block both ends!
"Don't say it, this guy named Para has a lot of fans in China, and his apprentice Sha Chu has a lot of reputation, he has written a lot of short stories, and he is also famous in Huaxia."
"These two people came to make money with such fanfare, are they deceiving me and no one in China!"
The three of them were indignant, but Zheng Yi didn't think so.
At this time, it's good to watch the play quietly.
After all, this kind of drama is rare.
Besides, what kind of storm can two guys from a small Siamese country stir up.
Could it be that you can still sweep my Chinese horror world?
