"Xiao Wang, the game will be launched tomorrow, you remember to pay attention to the comments tonight."

"You must have to work overtime, you have to keep an eye on such an important thing as the game server."

"This kind of thing is in turns, but aren't you just starting to work, wouldn't it be nice to accumulate more work experience? I remember that it was written on my job resume that he was very hardworking and fully supported the company's arrangement and scheduling. ”

Within a game company,

A young man with an oily face and messy hair lay on his desk, supporting his body with his arms and scratching his hair.

In the general office group, he was assigned to stay and watch the forum tonight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wang."

"Come on, intern."

"Actually, it's just to pay attention to the trend of the comments, it's not a big problem."

……

As an intern operator, Wang Xiaoxu is in line with the principle of 'I am the youngest', 'I have the lowest qualifications', and 'accumulated experience'...... A group of ideas, convincing themselves again and again, accept the extra work assigned by the team leader.

Only now did he begin to notice that something was wrong.

Whether it is the team leader or the colleagues around him, it seems that they have become accustomed to handing over the work to him.

Other interns in the same period were not entrusted with a 'heavy responsibility' like themselves. ’

But to refuse?

Wang Xiaoxu was a little hesitant, afraid that his relationship with his colleagues would deteriorate.

'Forget it, one last time. ’

He thought to himself, no seizures.

Wang Xiaoxu took over the job, and at this time, the buckle in the lower right corner of the computer suddenly flashed a message.

He moved his mouse over it, only to realize that it was a dormitory group chat where no one spoke for almost a month.

Probably complaining about work and bosses again.

Wang Xiaoxu thought to himself.

Since I started my internship, the most content in the dormitory group chat is about these, but everyone is in different companies and positions, and these complaints are at most accompanied by some words such as 'indeed', 'I'm also working overtime', 'very annoying', and over time, no one chats.

"That director of the underworld, it seems that there is no news recently."

The dormitory boss who does program development in a small company posted a message in the group.

'Hades director? ’

Wang Xiaoxu was stunned for a moment when he heard this title.

It took him a moment before he remembered, 'Oh, Director Lu Zhengyi. ’

It seems that a month ago, they also started the topic in this way.

Because Lu Zhengyi's new movie is out.

“？ Didn't he just come out on the movie? ”

In the group, the second child, who is a freelance painter at home, also came out, first posted a single question mark, and then sent a few messages one after another, "It's not normal to have no news." ”

"What's it called...... Twin eyes? ”

"Yes, yes, it's not just a month, you can't hold back another movie in a month, it's too prolific."

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoxu couldn't help but type the words and stopped diving.

"Second child, have you stayed at home for a long time and have been out of society."

"It was a warm-up a month ago, okay, the movie hasn't been released yet."

"If you want me to say, you better come out and look for a job."

The second child sent a surprised expression, "Haven't you been on it yet?" ”

The dormitory boss took a screenshot of Weibo, and also sent several messages one after another.

"That's right, it's not on yet, so I'll put aside the hype."

"Some time ago, an actress jumped out and said that there were ghosts in the crew, and she said it all the time."

"As a result, when the news of the completion of the double pupils came out, the fire was immediately extinguished, and this routine reminded me of the original curse, and it was also repeated horizontal jumping."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoxu's expressionless face smiled slightly, and he typed words on the keyboard, "I still remember that at that time, the three of you were scared to worship the Buddha everywhere, laughing to death, I said it was someone else's marketing plan." ”

It was the end of September of the previous year, and they had met for the last time.

"Six, aren't you the same?"

The dormitory boss asked rhetorically.

"Indeed, at that time, the third child was deceived by five thousand eight and set up a hall, he did see it, but he didn't completely see it." The second child also came out and laughed, "There is also the fourth child, who got chickenpox on his body the next day after watching the film, and directly thought that he was cursed." ”

But speaking of which, he asked again, "By the way, did you find an internship job for the fourth child?" ”

As soon as this question came out, in front of the computer, Wang Xiaoxu, who was still smiling and planning to answer, couldn't help muttering, "Here we go again." ”

"Probably not, he can't look down on small companies, but which big company doesn't need qualifications?"

The dormitory boss first replied, and then, the topic slowly drifted away, "Alas, I'm so tired today, the company's project team ran another development, and the old fritters are pretending to be dead one by one, and the work is lost to me and another intern." ”

And then, the rhythm of the chat began to slowly start to throw negative garbage at each other as it did a month ago.

The second child said that he was working as a freelance painter in his hometown, but his parents didn't support him, so what about his work? The income is unstable, the life is detached from society, and there is no social interaction;

The boss said that there are more and more overtime, serious hair loss, more and more physical problems, and more and more pressure;

Even Wang Xiaoxu, the third child who was quite sober, couldn't help but join in, talking about being arranged to work overtime again.

They seem to each other to be very uncomfortable in entering society, from students to migrant workers.

"I've got a job."

And at this moment, the fourth child who has never found a job and has not yet felt the atmosphere of the workplace appeared in the group chat, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth." I have been working hard for almost a year, and this wave directly entered a large company for internships. ”

"Light and shadow! Proper big companies, they have recently changed their blood and laid off a number of people. ”

"Master is lucky, I picked it directly."

Light?

Wang Xiaoxu's negative emotions were sucked away all of a sudden, and he became energetic, "Light and Shadow Media? ”

"That's right, the one that Lu Zhengyi often cooperates with, didn't you want to beat him up in a group before? The opportunity has come, and I support you spiritually. The fourth looked excited, and replied to the message quickly, "But after flipping through the chat history, did you work overtime and disconnect the Internet directly." ”

"The hype was a long time ago, and now the latest wind direction of Shuangtong has long since changed."

"Yesterday afternoon, Guangying directly announced that he was going to sue Huang Xuan in court, and when I finally interviewed, the manager asked some questions about this."

……

[#光影公司起诉黄璇#光影代表双瞳剧组起诉黄璇违约, because it violated the contract, the confidentiality contract and other regulations, and the plot content was leaked, which had a great impact on the release of the movie......]

[According to the staff in the play, Ms. Huang Xuan performed well during the filming, but she often inquired about some matters related to the plot in private. 】

[A large number of Houlang Weibo accounts were banned, and Houlang announced that Ms. Huang Xuan was suspected of buying a large number of water armies##黄璇女士账号被封禁#]

[Is it hype or business war? The Double Pupil crew officially filed a lawsuit against actor Huang Xuan. 】

[The film has not been broadcast, people will tell you first, and the editor has seen such a crew for the first time......]

……

"Six, Director Lu is so interesting and spicy."

"When I thought it was real, it was fake, and when I thought it was hype, it was actually real. Director Lu, I really can't guess you. (giggles)"

"After signing the contract and breaching the contract, is this Huang Xuan stupid?"

"People are definitely not stupid, judging from the contract, she has to pay at least tens of millions of liquidated damages, most of them are behind them."

"Huang Xuan? Who, haven't heard of it. ”

"Is it so rich? Tens of millions of liquidated damages can also be paid, and the rich second generation enters the circle to experience life? ”

When the 'publicity plan' of Light and Shadow Media was issued, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

At the beginning, seeing people exposing the news, there was a lot of noise on the Internet, but the light and shadow and the double pupil crew did not react at all, and then those shouts and scolding disappeared inexplicably, and netizens thought it was hype, show, and marketing.

After all, Lu Zhengyi has a criminal record.

When "Curse" was released, it played netizens one by one.

At that time, after the film was released, many bloggers deliberately released videos to analyze the micro-manipulation of the Internet popularity of 'Lu Zhengyi' during that time.

From the warm-up before the release, to being scolded on the hot search after the release, and then the tidbits video was exposed...... This series of operations, with the benefit of hindsight, has been analyzed one by one.

Even, they also expected that there would be at least one big reversal of the original plan at that time, that is, the time when Li Ruonan's name was added to the screenwriter.

But it may be that Light and Shadow Media coaxed for the stability of the situation, and was afraid that the game would collapse, so the publicity team pressed Lu Zhengyi directly on the bench, so he didn't continue to reverse.

And this time......

In mid-March, on the day of the spring equinox, a slight drizzle fell in Jiangcheng,

"Yes, my afternoon plane."

At the airport, Lu Zhengyi was wearing a mask, sitting alone in the rest area waiting for the plane, and making a phone call, "I have seen a hot search, thirty-nine, ah?" Is my tone too calm? Alas...... There's no way, there are too many hot searches, and I don't feel anything. ”

"Yes, yes, thanks to Mr. Zhang's help."

"Eat? What kind of meal to eat, it's too polite, what is the relationship between the two of us, there is no need to say such a thing as inviting you to eat. No, no, no, I mean, as long as you want to eat, I can invite you whenever you want. ”

He held the mobile phone and whispered to Zhang Xueming on the other end of the phone.

It's the truth.

I haven't been on the hot search before, but I'm quite excited and happy after I got on it.

Especially when he was on the hot search for the first time, the whole crew knocked on his door at night.

But since the curse has been on Weibo's hot search for almost two weeks, they are not so composable now, and that's it.

was on a hot search, and the rest of the crew didn't even make a phone call.

In the group, no one talked about it, they all did their own things, as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaole? He recovered well, I originally planned to go back at the end of the month, anyway, I am quite relieved that you are watching from you over there in the northern capital. Lu Zhengyi glanced at the time of boarding and got up from his seat, "But he had to let me go, and I was used to seeing people in the hospital, so I let him go." ”

This year's New Year is relatively early, and the New Year will be over in January.

As for him, in early February, he received a call from Xiaole and rushed to Jiangcheng.

Then such and such things happened, I stayed in Jiangcheng for more than a month, and now it is mid-March, the film has been cut and submitted for review, and if the progress is accelerated, it will be released on April 1.

Of course, you have to say hello.

"I'm going to get on the plane here, and we'll talk when the evening comes."

Seeing that he was starting to prepare for boarding, Lu Zhengyi hurriedly dropped a sentence and planned to hang up the phone.

However, on the phone, Zhang Xueming mentioned again, asking him to search for the film "Night Horror" on the plane while he had not yet taken off.

'Night's terror? ’

After getting on the plane, Lu Zhengyi searched Weibo on his seat.

[#夜里惊魂#剧组开机, director @ Liu Yujing, starring @XY-Bai Shaoshang, @XY-Bai Jingyun......]

[Well-known director Liu Yujing announced that the new film is a horror film, he was one of the gold medal directors in Hong Kong City, and he once created the feat of participating in eleven films in a year. 】

[Fierce, I actually saw Bai Shaoshang want to make a horror movie, my God, doesn't there be a limit to his ambitions? ] No. 1 on stage, No. 1 best-selling pop music album of the year in Tang Kingdom, and the male god of the popular love sweet drama on the Green Apple platform, he is about to enter the horror film market! 】

[Who are you the nib-tip boy who thinks about it for a long time, turning into a song in the wilderness of the desperate city. @XY-Bai Shaoshang No matter what you decide, we will always support you! 】

[Newcomer Bai Jingyun is the younger sister of Shaoshang, the kind of pro, I hope everyone will support you a lot~@XY-Bai Jingyun]

……

As soon as this Weibo was searched, Lu Zhengyi's expression became ...... Well, it's subtle.

But he still supported it.

Compared with the beginning, Manager Liu's behavior of letting the mole mix into his crew and exposing the information indiscriminately.

This kind of practice of forming a crew, finding a script, and really wanting to enter the horror film market to fight with him is actually very good, this is a healthy competition.

Lu Zhengyi silently turned off his phone and ignored it.

Of course, the most important reason is that it is not your own money that will be pitted at that time anyway.

As for whether the market is disrupted, will it affect itself?

Lu Zhengyi is not worried at all.

This piece of land was created from scratch, and he opened it up one by one.

The audience is so enthusiastic to watch his films, never because of the three words 'horror film' first, but because of the three words 'Lu Zhengyi' in the front, and the 'horror film' in the back can be seen by the family, this difference is very big.

It was evening when I returned to the northern capital.

When the plane landed, it was exactly past nine o'clock.

Xu Feng drove the car and took Xiao Zhongyong to pick him up.

"Meow?"

As soon as they met at the gate of the airport, the eyes of this little black cat were staring around Lu Zhengyi, after all, there were two people when they went, and now only one has returned.

He circled around the people, but he couldn't find the superfluous guy.

Even the taste is gone.

"She's gone."

Lu Zhengyi said softly, squatting down and picking him up, "We won't see each other in the future." ”

"Meow?"

Xiao Zhongyong tilted the cat's head, not quite understanding what he meant.

There was no way, Lu Zhengyi said a few words close to his ear.

The little cat's mood suddenly fell, and she was silent, resting her head on his shoulder.

Actually, he didn't hate Chu Renmei that much.

He just didn't like the smell, and he still ......

"Ayi, otherwise, you better inform a little in the group chat, okay...... Get acquainted. ”

Xu Feng had just learned the news.

They all knew that Lu Zhengyi left to take care of a child.

But for what specific reasons and what they have been through, they don't know.

Lu Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After getting into the car, he sat in the passenger seat and took out his mobile phone.

[Lu Zhengyi: @全体成员楚老师前段时间杀青了, because it happened relatively suddenly, I didn't tell you the first time. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: No, Mr. Liang. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: She is actually called Liang Meijuan, and Chu Renmei is just the name of a character in the old corpse in the mountain village. 】

Be quiet.

In the group chat, none of them jumped out, only Lu Zhengyi's three messages stayed there alone.

The whole group chat was like no one was noticed.

"Let's go."

Lu Zhengyi turned off the screen of his mobile phone and signaled that Xu Feng should drive.

But Xu Feng didn't move, he still looked at the screen.

After a while, with the sound of a message of 'hum-', a message appeared at the bottom of Lu Zhengyi's three sentences.

[Zhang Yu: Congratulations to Mr. Liang on his completion and wish him a bright future. (Flowers)】

Immediately afterward, the news of 'buzzing-' continued.

[Chang Zhengwei: Congratulations to Mr. Liang for his completion and wish him a bright future. (Flowers)】

[Zhang Yuming: Congratulations to Mr. Liang......]

[Applejack: Congratulations......]

Xiaowei, Bai Wei, Wei Kang, Xiaoli, Yu Wenxiu, Li Zhenxi, Liu Baoning......

There were a total of thirty-seven people in the group, and in addition to Lu Zhengyi, thirty-five messages appeared in that dialog box one after another.

[Xu Feng: Congratulations to Mr. Liang on his completion, and I wish you a bright future. (Flowers)】

There was another buzz, and Lu Zhengyi turned his head to look at Xu Feng next to him in a trance.

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong raised the cat's paw and pressed it on Lu Zhengyi's mobile phone screen.

"Okay."

Lu Zhengyi smiled helplessly, and also posted a sentence in the group chat.

[Lu Zhengyi: Congratulations to Mr. Liang on his completion, and I wish you a bright future. (Flowers)】

Since the staff under his command all believe that there is still a road ahead of Mr. Liang.

He had no choice but to follow.

But to be honest, he was in a lighter mood.

The car started, and Lu Zhengyi looked at the car in front of him with a little daze while giving Xiao Zhongyong a smooth hair.

The crew did not ask about the specific reason for Liang Meijuan's completion.

That's how they blessed.

But at that moment just now, Lu Zhengyi felt that his team had a little bit of a look.

What the team looks like.

Their crew, in fact, everyone is a little wrong.

is like Zhang Yu, he is very lascivious, a little greasy, and he is still a little slippery forward, when he was filming the first scene, the people in the crew scolded him in private and felt disgusting.

But then, he slowly changed.

I have become an assistant director a little bit, or rather, I have returned to the way I wanted to be a director in the first place.

Like Zhang Yuming, people are very impulsive.

He hasn't changed, and he's impulsive now, but after all, age is there, and he is young and vigorous.

is like Bai Wei, he often speaks regardless of the occasion, from time to time the atmosphere is cold, and occasionally it is easy to offend people......

Each of them is not a particularly perfect person, not so much in control of himself.

But after coming to this crew, as long as the big guys get together for filming, the spirit is different.

In the first play, the second play, and now the third film, Lu Zhengyi can feel that their connection is becoming closer, and at the same time, they are influencing each other, and it is no longer something that can be described with the words 'grass stage team'.

The crew is no longer hastily put up.

It has in the molding.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, Xiao Zhongyong in his arms screamed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lu Zhengyi said apologetically, he had just come up with a god, and accidentally brushed the cat's hair against it.

"Speaking of which, I often hear others say that our crew is a hell crew."

He spoke softly, expectantly.

"Yes."

Xu Feng was driving the car, heard him say this, and continued, "After all, we are making horror movies, which is more or less rude." ”

"But, it's okay, horror movies want to be rude."

"If it's polite and bland, what kind of horror movie will the audience watch, right?"

Lu Zhengyi smiled, "Yes, it's really rude." ”

"I've been thinking about naming the crew lately, so let's call our crew the Plum Raccoon crew, how about it?"

"As for the LOGO, use Ah Yong's portrait right."

As he spoke, he shook Xiao Zhongyong, "The people in our crew are indeed a little less. ”

"Every time you film, you have to recruit a lot of people, and it's okay for a film with few special shots like Double Pupil. But if it's a drama with a lot of special shots, it's very troublesome to hide it, and every time you have to dismiss the team, take a little more time to wrap it up. ”

"If there were more people, it would be more actionable."

"Huh?"

Xu Feng was a little incomprehensible.

And Lu Zhengyi didn't speak again, silently calculating.

The name of the crew is important.

Since talking to Zhang Xueming on the day of the fight, Lu Zhengyi has been thinking about this matter.

Because of the particularity of the crew, their team has been different from other crews in the entertainment industry from the beginning.

Most of the crews of other big directors are a group.

If you really want to make a film, just shout in the group, and see who is free among the people who often cooperate and are familiar with the ability, and come over to help.

Even if some people are more rigorous and register a company like Lu Zhengyi, and keep some of the more capable people by their side through salary, it is only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and if they meet a more suitable one, they can change jobs.

But Lu Zhengyi's crew is different.

Working in this crew, they can see the world that ordinary people can't touch.

After a person has seen that kind of bizarre world, it is difficult to return to a normal life.

For example, if the door of the house suddenly moves, normal people will wonder if the wind is blowing. But people in the crew may wonder if there is something in front of me that I can't see;

For another example, when a normal person encounters a supernatural event, his first reaction may be panic or chaos; And the crew should run as soon as possible according to the staff rules, and if they can't run away, they think about talking about the conditions, and even light up the backstage.

This subtle change in cognition has made this crew no longer look like a normal crew, and they have a stronger cohesion.

They are detached from the regular corporate organization.

What connects these people to the crew is gradually no longer a material such as money.

Lu Zhengyi has a lot of ideas in his head, but it is not an easy thing to achieve.

This process requires a lot of help.

The help of ordinary people, the help of practitioners.

And in this regard, Lu Zhengyi has two ways at hand.

One is the Zhang family.

One is a mountain watcher.
