Zhang Yuming was covered in sweat and his face was flushed.

He looked so excited that he couldn't hide anything at all.

"In my circle of friends, some people have been talking about our film in the past two days."

"Director Lu, are we going to be on fire?"

"Could it be that Brother Feng's promotion has worked?"

"You see that Director Lu and Director Zhang are so calm, they must have expected it a long time ago."

"Then for sure, how can the films we work so hard to make not be as good as those special effects films under the green screen."

……

Zhang Yuming's loud voice suddenly confused the video conference that was still seriously reporting the progress of the work.

I wanted to talk about it for a long time, but other people who were pressed by work couldn't wait to open up and share their inner joy.

"Fire? It's still early, so let's pause the meeting. ”

Lu Zhengyi raised his head to look at Zhang Yuming and asked calmly, "How did you find the heroine?" ”

Next to him, Zhang Yu's chubby face, although he was happy, he didn't look excited.

The two of them are a little confident.

From beginning to end, what the two of them were afraid of was not that the movie would not work.

"The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" was made by all members of their crew, and they also invited a real ghost to shoot it, how could the quality not work?

If it is said that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, as a work of art, their own evaluation by the main creators is not strong and accurate enough.

Then there is director Lu Yiyong, a bystander.

He personally certified that this film is of quality.

So, they never wonder if it's a good film.

What Lu Zhengyi and the two of them are afraid of, what Lu Yiyong is afraid of, and what Light and Shadow Media is afraid of, no one will watch it at all.

The stereotype of Tang horror films is like a big rock, blocking the door of the theater, blocking the audience's desire to be there.

No one is watching, or too few are watching, and they don't even have that little bit of a chance.

The road was cut off from the beginning.

But on this point, on the day of the premiere, seeing the hundreds of bad reviews popping up in the comment area, Lu Zhengyi and the two of them were not afraid.

Although it is said that if 6,000 shows are counted as 50 seats in the general theater, it seems that there are very few viewers who are willing to leave comments for the more than 700 people.

But as a propaganda voice, it is enough.

"Lily's teacher has recommended a few candidates, and Teacher Chang is asking them one by one."

When it comes to work, Zhang Yuming hurriedly said, "If they have time, they will come to audition at that time." ”

"How many?"

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "If you want to talk about the script, you can roughly reveal it to them, but don't go into too much detail." ”

"I have to let people know that our film is a bit unlucky."

"Lest the time to start filming, people don't want to act."

He is not only referring to the genre of horror films, but also the character of this character.

The heroine of "Incantation", to be honest, can be seen from the script alone, is a bit tricky.

From beginning to end, the whole film almost expresses a selfish image.

Therefore, while taking over the play, the actor must also be prepared for the possibility of being scolded after the film is released.

"I'll inform Mr. Chang."

Zhang Yuming took out his mobile phone and planned to send a message.

But Lu Zhengyi asked again, "But on this matter, you don't seem to have to come back and say it in person, just send me a message." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuming's expression paused, and he raised his head with a smile, "Speaking of this, I really have something to tell you in person." ”

"It seems that this matter is very important, and I have changed my honorific title."

Lu Zhengyi glanced at the video conference that was still on the side, "Is it convenient to say it in front of everyone?" If it's not convenient, then wait until I'm done with the meeting. ”

“…… We'll talk about that later. ”

Zhang Yuming hesitated slightly, "Then I'll go upstairs and wait first." ”

"Okay."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand.

And Zhang Yuming sent a message to Chang Zhengwei and them, and went upstairs to the room.

"Speaking of which, Director Lu, your home is about to become our studio."

Zhang Yu was beside him, watching Zhang Yuming skillfully go upstairs, and suddenly felt a little in a trance.

In this living room, in addition to the sofa and table, there are several desktop computers and some printed documents.

Oh yes, and a stone statue.

Upstairs, several guest rooms are now occupied by a few of them.

And when more than a dozen people from the crew moved in together, Lu Zhengyi even divided his master bedroom into a sofa-shaped bed.

It's not like a home at all, it's like a small company, a family workshop.

"If there is a need for work, use it."

Lu Zhengyi said casually, "Anyway, this is a place to live, and I don't regard this place as my home." ”

Although it is said that this house was bought for him by his parents for convenience when he was in school, and his name is also written on the real estate certificate.

But for Lu Zhengyi, it's more like a hotel suite.

If you need it, you come and sleep for the night, if you don't need it, it's empty, and you don't have any idea of buying any furniture to decorate the house.

He even recently had the idea of turning this place into a studio.

Anyway, now, making movies is the only thing that Lu Zhengyi is interested in.

"Alright, let's go on."

Lu Zhengyi clapped his hands, interrupting the rhythm of gossip, "Applejack, it's time for you to report to work." ”

"Okay, Director Lu."

In the video, Applejack, the leader of the props team, said, "I've read the script carefully in the past few days, and I have made a rough list of props and costumes, but it's still a little bit there. ”

"I'm expecting it to be completed in the evening, and when the time comes, I'll send you a list of items to your mailbox, and you can confirm it."

"If there is no problem with the list, then I will start to recruit people and prepare for props."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Okay, as soon as possible." ”

"It's been more than four months now, and I hope it will be officially launched by next month at the latest."

"Otherwise, wait until June, half of the year has passed, shooting, post-production, review, this series of processes has been completed, and the official release may be at least October, November, and one movie will be produced in a year, which is a bit too little."

Applejack nodded, "Understood." ”

"Xiaowei, you take your apprentice and help Applejack prepare together, and keep an eye on the clothing matters." Lu Zhengyi thought about it, and assigned the makeup sister and her little apprentice to the props team, "Help prepare for this period, I will still calculate the monthly salary for you." ”

Compared to those group performers and staff who are recruited for filming, can be changed at any time, and receive daily wages.

Now the people who are in the meeting together have signed additional agreements and entered small groups.

When they were asked by Lu Zhengyi to follow the group throughout the whole process, the treatment they received was also different.

The crew is like a small company, and these people are the difference between part-time and temporary workers, which can be regarded as the prototype of a small team.

When one day, Lu Zhengyi is really capable, and this team can be formed immediately.

When the time comes, let them sign a long-term contract, and they will change from temporary workers at the end of the month to regular workers.

Even if they don't work every month, Lu Zhengyi has to pay them a salary.
