"Don't be deceived by the director and marketing account, this heroine is really not a good person."

"The superstitious and the unsuperstitious are silent."

"Macabaka, Bikabaka, Macabaka ......"

"So this film was cut by the Big Black Buddha Mother at the end? It's not easy, the amount of material for the documentary is so large. ”

"Cut, the area can be shared, what is the curse pool?"

"Watching horror movies, it can't be auspicious, right?"

"Some people say that this is not a horror film, or a purely disgusting film, but in fact, I want to say that the word 'bad luck' is already the best recognition of a Tang-style religious horror film."

"It is recommended that those who brush up on bad reviews, it is recommended not to watch horror movies, the news channel welcomes you, full of positive energy......"

……

On the night of the premiere of "Incantation", some people ate and drank enough to sleep, and some people broke the defense and passionately fought on the Internet.

Taicheng,

In an old-fashioned residential building,

In a house where all the lights are turned on, a middle-aged man with glasses and thinning hair is groping with his fingers on the keyboard, intending to write down his thoughts after watching the movie.

I have long heard that a crew came to Taicheng to shoot and made a horror film with the help of a wandering god folklore here.

And today, as a local + film critic in Taicheng, of course, he wants to be there to support the local culture.

But there is something wrong with this support.

Big night, can't sleep at all.

I can't sleep with the lights on.

Is there a better way to ward off evil spirits than to surf the web? No.

I feel cold and scared at night, so I turn on my phone to brush up on the video and the line is hot.

"The Mother of Heaven and Earth."

But this middle-aged man sat in front of the computer for a long time, but he couldn't help but get up, and first went to the shrine next to him to put on the incense.

Then, he fumbled with his goosebumpy arm and sat down in front of the computer again.

"Lin Bei, you love to do clay writing."

The middle-aged man slid the mouse and looked at the hundreds of comments that were refreshed, wanting to see what others were saying.

But after watching it for a long time, the reviews were mixed.

And most of them are short comments, evaluations of a few words.

People who give good reviews, scold people who give bad reviews 'don't deserve to watch horror movies',

Give bad reviews, and give good reviews, 'What kind ......of horror movie is this?'

There was no way, the middle-aged man had to write it himself.

Opening his home page, he was tapping on his keyboard.

[As a native of Taicheng and a horror lover, I personally think this film is quite good. 】

[This horror film is out of the public's perception of horror films in the past. In the plot, there is a link where an inhuman creature jumps out suddenly, but there are very few; the kind of link where the peachwood sword is pulled, the talisman paper is sacrificed, and the god is invited to start slaying the demon and eliminating the demon, there are also, but there are few; What about the kind of fragments that reveal the truth of human nature in front of ghosts and abandon each other? There are still, but they are more subtle. 】

[These contents can only be regarded as a branch line, and the real main line is the 'real feeling' brought by folk culture. ’】

[First of all, as soon as I opened this film, I had a familiar sense of reality, with low house buildings, old white walls, and ...... The land in the corner is a public land, and it can be seen that the crew has the intention to observe some details of the lives of ordinary people, and has strict requirements for Fuhuadao. 】

[It's not that like some movies, spend a lot of money to build a real scene, and it is fake.] 】

[But it's this one that starts to 'substitute' in, and I'm bad.] 】

[From the part where Li Ruonan sacrificed his daughter, I actually felt that something was wrong, but in the camera, she behaved too well and pitifully, so I instinctively ignored this because of the influence of the camera, the analysis of the marketing account, and the trailer. 】

[Obviously, I already felt that something was wrong, but in my heart, I couldn't help but help her defend 'what kind of hardship she should have', 'She is a mother, what will happen to her child in the end'...... And the plot has always developed like this, Li Ruonan began to become selfless for his daughter, his mother's love was great, and he even fed a tiger in the end. 】

[Until the moment at the end, the moment 'I' was cursed, the moment all the good impressions in the past were subverted, 'I' finally figured it out. 】

Writing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly lit a cigarette and warmed it up.

[I realized a problem, this is a pseudo-documentary, it was filmed from Li Ruonan's first point of view, and all the content that appears in all the shots is what the character of 'Li Ruonan' wants you to see, when you watch the film with this in mind, you will find that it is another film, a ...... A film that is selfish to the extreme! 】

[When I watched it, I really didn't pay attention, but when I finished watching the film and left the way, I found that there were a lot of details on the 'editing' that I ignored, as a first-person film, I thought at first that it was because the director team's post-processing ability was not good, so the plot was incoherent. 】

[But now, I think it's deliberate, 'Li Ruonan' cut out all the content that she thinks is not good for herself, leaving only the good ones, for example, the beginning of the sacrifice in Chenjia Village, when the fairy child conveyed the meaning of the big black Buddha mother and asked to sacrifice the child in the belly, one part of the video was cut! ] 】

[I suspect that the villagers of Chenjia Village persuaded Li Ruonan not to participate in the sacrifice and leave the village, but in order to shoot the video and popularity, she and her team rejected the proposal and insisted on staying. Of course, this is my personal brain supplement and interpretation, but this paragraph always has to have an explanation. 】

[And then later......]

I wrote a big long review and clicked send.

Barely a minute after the long comment was posted, a reply appeared below him.

"Damn, it's scary to think about it!"

"Is the big guy a second brush? You can't just remember so many details in one swipe. ”

"I originally thought Li Ruonan was disgusting, but after reading it, I was even more disgusting."

"After watching the film, my girlfriend scolded first for bad luck, and then scolded for green tea for a reason."

"I looked at the cast, this woman is in her thirties, and it's not easy to play like this......"

Looking at the more and more replies under his long comments, the middle-aged man's body, which was originally a little cold, gradually warmed up.

Picking out a few comments, he began to reply.

When you feel that you may be entangled in something, the best thing to do is to have more contact with people and have some intersections.

This is very useful.

The torrent of 'popularity' will overwhelm everything.

……

……

[The first horror film in the history of Tang Guo Film to be scolded on the hot search. 】

[A horror film that gives the audience a head drop.] 】

[Who is Li Ruonan? 】

[Yu Wenxiu's comment area fell! ] 】

[Where does Lu Zhengyi live? 】

……

The release of "Curse", in general, went quite smoothly.

Compared with when "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" was released, it didn't even stir up a wave, which is really much better.

As for the matter of being scolded on the hot search, someone always has to start this.

Lu Zhengyi gladly accepted the result.

Compared with what 'the top 50 box office in the history of Tang Kingdom's premiere', 'a rare full-house movie this year', 'summer hits', and 'box office surpasses XXX'...... and so on, he still prefers to do this one.

This title is still quite interesting.

"Get up!"

Early in the morning, before everyone else got up, Zhang Xueming called with a phone call.

As soon as the phone opened, it was like, 'Open the door, I'm at the door.'" ’

Because there were other people in the family, Lu Zhengyi took people to the nearby Guangfu morning tea and chatted while eating.

"You haven't slept all night?"

While stuffing shrimp dumplings into his mouth, Lu Zhengyi looked at her face.

Not only is his complexion a little haggard, but even his eyes are bloodshot, and as for the dark circles, they are even more obvious.

“…… How could I have been able to sleep in that situation like last night? ”

Zhang Xueming covered her mouth and yawned, "Looking at you like this, you should have slept peacefully last night, right?" When I came, I swiped the circle of friends, and you guys actually ate barbecue to celebrate! ”

"It's really unconscionable, it scares people like that, and they turn their heads and start to be happy."

"I swear, your film is one of the most active users I've seen since I started working."

"Speaking alone, the number of bad reviews under the ticket-buying platform has gone to more than 20,000."

"More than half of the people in our company worked overtime until midnight, staring at the data, maintaining the public opinion trend of various platforms, negotiating with the theater side to increase the number of films, and negotiating peripheral customization...... A lot of things, just taking advantage of such a strong wind as the premiere, can quickly blow into the sky. ”

"The result? As soon as these two hot searches were on, we directly broke the defense. ”

Although she said this, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, "I always thought that your value was high, but there was an element of gambling, especially after knowing your directing ability." ”

"But I didn't expect you to let me win the bet so quickly."

can only say that Zhang Xueming deserves to be Zhang Xueming.

Lu Zhengyi originally wanted to care about her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she went to work.

The two hot searches are indeed a lot more popular than imagined, and they are still hanging on the list.

One is a 'bad film',

The other is 'Who is Li Ruonan',

It's strange to say, obviously the villain of the film is the Big Black Buddha Mother, and Li Ruonan is the one who is bullied.

However, the audience just didn't scold the Big Black Buddha Mother, but scolded Li Ruonan hard.

scolding under the entry #Who is Li Ruonan#, it was not enough, and he also ran to Yu Wenxiu's Weibo to scold.

Fortunately, there are still relatively few people who vent their emotions about the roles in the film to the actors, so they will not send Yu Wenxiu to the hot search.

The film was scolded on the hot search, it doesn't matter.

But people are scolded on the hot search, and the impact is still not small, after all, some people eat half of the melon, and when the time comes, it will be quite troublesome.

"Actually, I can guess that I will be scolded." Zhang Xueming looked at Lu Zhengyi in front of her with some amusement while drinking hot tea, "After all, I am also a person who has watched the film, and I know what this film is." ”

"But being scolded on the hot search, I really didn't expect it."

"It's just a horror movie, after all."

Yes, just a horror movie.

A few months ago, could anyone have imagined that in the Tang Kingdom, a horror film could actually have such a premiere box office? Million!

It's real, the kind of data that doesn't have a little bit of water!

On this day, the box office of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" that had worked hard for a month was directly destroyed.

"But it's really strange to be on the hot search in one night,"

swallowed too many shrimp dumplings in one go, and Lu Zhengyi, who was flustered, quickly took a sip of tea.

Before, he didn't like to drink tea, but after drinking it with her a few times, slowly, he liked it, "Could it be that your light and shadow are not working?" ”

When he wasn't taken seriously before, he was the one who watched the light and shadow to promote other people's dramas.

Based on their past performance, he felt that there must be.

"Of course there is."

Zhang Xueming is also very straightforward, "But there is only one." ”

"The 'bad movie' in front of me was really scolded."

"I looked at the background data last night, and among the more than tens of thousands of entries, this one can be said to have soared, rushing all the way to the hot search, and also brought several other related contents, I chose the most popular one in it, and I ran it and sent it away."

The discussion and audience that the two hot searches can attract must be more.

"Also, take a look at this long review."

Zhang Xueming handed over the phone again, "What do you think of what is written on it?" ”

The mobile phone was lying flat on the table, and while Lu Zhengyi was eating, he slid his finger and glanced at it a few times, "Hey, has anyone analyzed it so quickly?" Yes. ”

"Last night, Lao Zhang also proposed that if no one really saw the details of our shooting, he would open a trumpet to write a movie review."

"These film critics are still quite powerful."

Zhang Xueming took back her mobile phone, "That's for sure, these professional film critics earn traffic by writing long reviews of popular movies, and they must be professional." ”

"However, you have a lot of details in this film."

"The last film, except for the shooting ......"

She hesitated, "The details of the shooting holes seem to have nothing to decipher." ”

"There are a lot of things that can be interpreted in this film."

"Some people say that the Big Black Buddha Mother should be a product of the Indian State Religion from the perspective of performance, and some people say that it is from Yuncheng, what do you think...... Where is it? ”

Zhang Xueming stared at Lu Zhengyi.

"The old corpses in the mountain village and the mantra have different directions, so they must be different."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "Where is the Great Black Buddha Mother?" I don't know. ”

"I'm not a screenwriter, I'm a director."

"But...... When are you going to release those materials? I think it's almost time for the movie to be released now. ”

He was referring to the video of the wandering gods.

"It's true that it can be released, but there can be a better time."

Zhang Xueming retracted her gaze helplessly, put down her phone, picked up the spoon, and finally began to eat, "Now there are two hot search words about "Curse" on the list, and our company has someone responsible for keeping an eye on the heat, and it has to be hung for at least one day. ”

"When the heat is about to go down, we will quickly put those materials on it, and then continue a wave of hot spots, and we can hang it for another day or two."

"Actually, when I saw this long review in the car just now, I felt that there were many creative directions for this film, and perhaps, we could have another 'literary fandom' activity."

""Mantra" is very realistic, and under this worldview of 'having gods', there are actually a lot of stories that can be derived, for example, the origin of the Big Black Buddha's mother, its relationship with Chenjiacun, and then the great lama of Yunnan."

"I believe that with the current popularity, there will be many netizens who are willing to participate in the creation and explore this mysterious and treacherous world, and the hot search will continue when the time comes."

After a few sentences, "Curse" has been on the hot search list for a week.

"Awesome, Manager Zhang."

Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Sure enough, you still have to find a professional person to do it." ”

"In the next play, if I can still cooperate with you and promote this aspect, I will probably be relieved."

"I just don't know, what conditions can Manager Zhang give?"

It is said that the price will be sold, and the premiere of this "Curse" has proven its quality.

At the same time, it also proves that Lu Zhengyi is capable of making a good horror movie, not that he is just lucky.

Then, the right to cooperate in this next drama should also be sold.

Originally, Zhang Xueming, who was going to be modest for a few words, paused with the hand holding the spoon, raised her eyes and stared at Lu Zhengyi, "You want to cooperate with us?" ”

"If it's appropriate, why not?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at her as well.

"Okay, you know the situation of our company."

Zhang Xueming restrained her smiling face because of the high popularity of "Curse", her face became serious, and she put down the spoon, "There are not many people anymore, and the project has run a lot." ”

"Yesterday, the two people who were borrowed by you to do the later stage also asked me to resign."

"I'll just say a word, even if you mention the conditions, as long as you can meet them, I will do my best."

In fact, she has always been very clear that Lu Zhengyi is very confident in "Curse", and has been waiting for the release of the film before looking for a partner.

However, since last night, the premiere of the spell has been hot and discussed, and she has not reported much hope.

In particular, Li Feng and Yang Jianwei also mentioned their resignation.

Where the two of them left and went, she didn't have to guess clearly.

Therefore, Zhang Xueming only hopes that there will be a good end in the cooperation of this play, and the two can be regarded as leaving some relationship, and there will be a suitable opportunity to drink the soup in the future.

But now, she's a little surprised.

"I mention?"

Lu Zhengyi smiled, "Okay, I'll mention it." ”

"During the preparation period, if I need it, you need to help me connect with the right actors and teams."

"But during the filming, don't interfere with our crew, you only need to do a good job of post-publicity and distribution, just like the first two dramas."

Zhang Xueming replied without hesitation, "Definitely, I have never done anything that I am not good at, and besides, I don't dare." ”

She meant something.

"But before you go any further, I have a question."

But before Lu Zhengyi could continue, she suddenly spoke, "What are you going to do next?" Got an idea? ”

"Pretty much."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "This ...... The folk teachings have been filmed, and there are quite a few people who are interested, and people have been asking me about my practice. ”

"Then in the next play, let's shoot Taoism."

"Hey, have you heard of Ascending Immortals?"

As soon as these few words were spoken, all the expressions on Zhang Xueming's face stopped, and she stared at him.
