"I think if you don't be a director, you will also be a talent in our company's marketing team."

Zhang Xueming was silent for a long time and gave such an evaluation.

In the past, she felt that Lu Zhengyi might have something to do with those things, so she chose horror movies.

After all, if a horror film can be made with some real supernatural spirits, the effect must be excellent.

But now that she's in a different mind, people may really love it.

Zhang Xueming could understand the meaning of Lu Zhengyi's words.

For example, I have always behaved very upright and serious, as if I can face it calmly no matter what happens.

Like those viewers, when they watched the old corpses in the mountain village, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to stay alone.

At the beginning, he watched the finished film directly in the internal screening hall of Light and Shadow, but he didn't feel so scared, and he could even bargain with Lu Zhengyi.

But that's the psychology that I slowly developed after working for a few years.

Once, I was also afraid.

Before she joined Light and Shadow Media, of course, she often read a variety of films to enrich her understanding of the industry market.

At that time, the films she was exposed to must have included horror films.

To be honest, of course I was scared, and I was scared.

For a while, I was always chattering, I didn't dare to be alone in the dark, and I always had to turn on the lights in the room to have a sense of security.

But since I left school and started working, a year, two years, three years......

When Zhang Xueming looked back, the horrors that she used to be afraid of and couldn't accept no longer had the same psychology as she had at the beginning.

Even when watching horror movies sometimes, I can also devote my energy to studying the costumes, plots, and lens processing of other crews, and analyze the selling points of this film in the market.

Impressions.

It's like the original impression of the Tang people on domestic horror films.

Zhang Xueming will also have an impression before watching every horror movie, which is fake and illusory.

And as long as you watch the film with this impression, with the self-control of an adult, even if you are scared for a while, you can recover quickly, and laugh and joke about the plot with others after the end until ...... Curse this film.

In those days, she first watched the video of the wandering god, combined with some of the past of Lu Zhengyi's crew to make unwarranted speculations, and finally watched the finished film of the spell.

Zhang Xueming directly regained her former fear.

Not only do you have to bask in the sun for a period of time every day, but you hardly leave the light source.

It's as if as long as there is darkness around you, something will hide inside, and you will look at you secretly.

"Hades Director."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueming couldn't help but mutter.

"What?"

Sitting opposite, Lu Zhengyi didn't seem to hear clearly.

"No, I just wanted to ask how your next film is being considered." Zhang Xueming changed the topic with a smile, "According to your previous habits, when the old film is edited and waiting for review and release, you have already begun to prepare for the new play." ”

"Why this time, there has been no news for so long."

"Do you want to take a break?"

Ever since he met Lu Zhengyi, he has been working almost continuously.

This kind of enthusiasm and persistence for work, Zhang Xueming appreciates it very much.

Of course, the same goes for yourself.

At the mention of this, Lu Zhengyi's expression was a little helpless, and he replied:

"Something mainly happened, one of the special effects actors in our crew left, and it was not easy to find another one."

"But it can't be said that if you can't find a suitable special effects actor, you will stop and not shoot, after all, I am also raising a large group of people now, and it is impossible to rest."

"So I'm still preparing, and I have a goal."

Special effects actors?

Zhang Xueming captured the point of his words, she had heard of stuntmen and special actors, but she had never heard of special effects actors.

What a new term.

Do you add special effects to yourself while acting?

Wait a minute......

Zhang Xueming seemed to understand something.

"What goal?"

She hesitated and replied, "You asked me to help you keep an eye on those strange things. ”

"I've told some people to do it, but there's no news yet."

"Without them, or their help, can you guarantee the next shooting effect of your crew?"

"Of course it's guaranteed." Lu Zhengyi replied without hesitation, "She won't be the only special effects actor I hired, probably...... Nor will he be the only one to be sent away by me. For them, we may be the end of this period of life, but for us, life has to go on. ”

Send away?

Zhang Xueming was thoughtful.

"There are still some capable people in our crew."

Lu Zhengyi, as usual, revealed a little bit of news to her, "Since there is such an element missing, let's make a film without ghosts." ”

"According to the current situation, our film fan audience probably already understands our true and false routines, so let's emphasize that there are no ghosts in this world."

"Let's talk about it first, in terms of quality, I feel that this script is much better than the previous films I have made, if you want to cooperate with me, you have to think carefully about the conditions of cooperation."

……

……

"After reading the double pupils, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, squatting for the truth."

"The news of that True Immortal Temple is too Ha people, is it a coincidence?"

"It's started, according to Lu Zhengyi's urine nature, this wave must be propaganda again."

"There is a reversal in blind guessing."

"Has anyone organized a group to go to Sichuan City?"

"The film is not bad, but the director is not!"

……

April 2nd is the first day after the release of Double Pupils.

On Weibo, in the entry 'True Immortal View', real-time refreshed comments popped up one after another, and they were quickly drowned in a sea of data.

It's almost impossible to find any useful analysis posts here.

In this kind of heat, everyone almost posts their own posts, and few people go to other people's posts to discuss.

On the contrary, on some other social platforms, some useful long posts and discussion posts have gradually emerged.

Such as bean net, post bar......

At three o'clock in the morning,

In a public housing complex in Port City,

A young man in pajamas is lying on his bed, editing content.

[(Discussion post) Is the content in this movie true or false?] 】

First floor: (Lu Dao's body photo town building)

After posting, the young people plugged in the charger of their mobile phones, which had only 2% power, and prepared for bed.

He plans to see the replies to the post tomorrow.

After all, tomorrow is a working day, and he still has to go to work.

Turning off the light, the young man yawned and rolled over to cover the quilt.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but have all kinds of questions in his mind.

'Has Xie Yali become an immortal? ’

'Is that true immortal view real?' ’

If that were the case, I'd be in a class. ’

Thinking about it, the young man couldn't help but turn over again, picked up the mobile phone that was still charging, and turned on the screen.

By this time, there were already two replies to the post he had just sent.

Second floor: "One thing to say, it's not the first time that Director Lu has engaged in this kind of operation, he has always said that Huang Xuan's thing is true, but they reconciled in private." But only the prosecution, not the real court, who knows if it's true or not. ”

Third floor: "According to Lu Zhengyi's previous urine, there is a high probability that it is propaganda." ”

The young man thought about it, sent a "yes" to each of the two floors, saying that he agreed with their statement, and was ready to go to sleep.

But as soon as this time was replied, there were a few more floors below.

Fourth floor: "Xuan fart, he started at the end of November, and it stands to reason that he may have started to prepare in October and September, but the real immortal temple was unearthed in November, so this time is not right, okay!" ”

Fifth floor: "Indeed, it can't be that the underground palace was prepared by Lu Zhengyi in advance, right?" ”

Sixth Floor: "Actually, it's not impossible. ”

7th Floor: "...... Perhaps, there is really a genius upstairs. ”

Eighth floor: "Please, you can all believe in becoming immortals, why can't you believe that Director Lu can build a dungeon in advance?" ”

Ninth Floor: "If you ask me if there are any immortals in this world, I will definitely say no, because this is ridiculous." But if you ask me if I believe that there are immortals in this world, or if Director Lu can build a dungeon for a movie, then I must believe that there are immortals in this world. ”

In the darkness, the faint screen fluorescently shone on the young man's face, and he began to think.

Tenth floor: "It's a little reasonable, did anyone go to Sichuan City together in a group?" ”

Once again, he couldn't help himself and built the first floor.

The building on the tenth floor replied: "Neurosis, that's an archaeological site, even if you go over, you can't get in." ”

Eleventh Floor: "Get closer, always know if there's any news." ”

12th and 13th floors...... Floor after floor, the young man's neck gradually stiffened.

Ding——

And I don't know when, the phone's battery is full.

With a look of joy on the young man's face, he unplugged the charger and turned over to reply.

He was immersed in the world of double pupils, and he didn't notice it at all, and the sky outside was gradually getting brighter.

……

[Rational evaporation sticker (with a lot of spoilers)]

"The landlord has read the spell before, and he has also written an analysis post about the spell."

"For example, Xie Yali and her sister, in their previous life, it may be a superficial analysis of this True Immortal Cultivator, I won't talk about it, everyone who has watched the film can see it to some extent."

According to Director Lu's previous shooting habits, this film should contain a lot of dark lines, such as the protagonist Huang Huotu. Fire soil, that is, "stove", yellow fire soil is actually a stove prince; The god of the stove is in charge of the family's blessings and woes, supervising the good and evil in the world, and there is a little bit of transmission and distribution, as an agent in charge of foreign affairs, it is very meaningful. ”

"Judging from the plot, the Taoist chief said that the person who became an immortal in the Song Dynasty was called Huang Shang, his surname was Huang, and Huang Huotu was also Huang, there may be some connection between the two."

"I feel that there is a high probability that Huang Huotu had an identity in his previous life, and he may have already been ranked in the immortal class, but because of the burden he left behind (which is the method of becoming an immortal), the lower realm wants to see if Xie Yali can retrace his path."

"Of course, it can also be analyzed that only one person can sit on the god seat of the god of the stove, and Xie Yali is ready to take this path and replace his god position, so he is in the lower realm."

"But this leads to another question, that is, whether Xie Yali has become an immortal."

"According to the landlord who rummaged through all kinds of Taoist information in one night, I don't think there is, just like the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, Taoism also has a bearing theory, which roughly means to bear and be responsible, the house of goodness must have afterglow, and the house of unkindness must have aftermath."

"Is Xie Yali's behavior good? Obviously, no. ”

"Although from the understanding of the plot, it is a good thing that she got rid of those five kinds of evil people, but in fact? In the process, she commits much more evil than she accumulates good. ”

"And at the end of the plot, Xie Yali's confusion and confusion at the moment when he faded away from his mortal body probably realized that he had taken the wrong path."

"Overall, I still like the film very much. This Shinto feeling, the solid script, and the real filming techniques all fascinated me. In fact, when I watched this film, I was reminded of the seven deadly sins abroad, but when I say this film, I don't mean to step on and compare. ”

"I found that Director Lu seems to like to choose these scripts that use local culture and suspense to make horrors, this kind of film is obviously more in line with our own senses than the Seven Deadly Sins, just like the West is very afraid of vampires, werewolves and the like, but if the film is put to us, they become magic films, and they are not able to cause fear at all."

"If other domestic directors can take this route from Director Lu and try to develop and create, perhaps, our domestic horror film market can be reactivated."

"As for whether the true immortal view and the five prisons become immortals are true or false, in fact, we can see it, it must be fake, this is a fictional movie, otherwise we can't see it, I stayed up all night, I only wrote these things, and there may be some additions in the future, and I hope you can leave your own impressions......"

……

In addition to the discussion posts of building buildings, there are also some big Vs who post long posts for analysis.

As the saying goes, the three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, and the enthusiastic discussion of netizens has still discussed a lot of useful content.

Even, before the explanation video recorded by the mountain watcher was released, some netizens who were more adept at exploring began to explain the ending with the theory of bearing the burden.

Nowadays, the search function of the Internet is still very developed.

For example, in the early years, if a person needed to know something, he needed to go to the bookstore to buy relevant books, and it was very inconvenient to rummage through here and look there.

Now, people only need to type relevant keywords on search engines to understand part of the content.

As long as you are willing to search, you can basically find the answer.

"Don't they all have to sleep? All discussed all night. ”

After spending a night at Light and Shadow Media, Lu Zhengyi stretched his waist and stood up.

It's a pity that he didn't see Zhang Xueming galloping on the Internet with his team.

Because of one night, the discussion about double pupils on the Internet has not come down at all, and even early in the morning, more people have joined the discussion.

In this case, there is no need for people with light and shadow to be the promoter to maintain the heat.

They just need to observe the statements and know which way the wind is blowing.

"The marketing personally planned by your little director Lu is still amazing."

Zhang Xueming was also very tired, leaning on the office chair and twisting her neck, "It's not that I haven't seen this kind of project discussed all night before, but most of them are zombies, water armies, and Yin soldiers, and they directly suppress a large number of bad reviews in one night." ”

"It's rare to see it like yours in one night, and it feels like it's all real people discussing."

"It's basically not a game champion night, it's an anime that has been serialized for many years, and it suddenly ends or has a phased breakthrough. A horror film like this, I couldn't have thought about it a year ago, think about coming to work with our light and shadow, Director Lu, there is no problem with the position of vice president directly for you. ”

She replied with her eyes closed, making a small joke.

I don't dare to think about it, I really don't dare to think about it.

It's like a particularly unpopular major, which basically no one pays attention to, or even dislikes it, encounters some 'room temperature superconductivity', and the whole world is starting large-scale construction overnight, and the unpopular major directly jumps over the dragon gate and becomes a big hit.

So far, they haven't made any big news.

At most, I took that Huang Xuan to do a little warm-up, and in other aspects, real marketing has not yet begun, and the discussion is so high, almost spontaneous discussion among netizens.

This popularity has been repeated again and again, and it seems that the market for horror films has really been revitalized by Lu Zhengyi.

"Would you like to go down for breakfast together?"

Lu Zhengyi stretched his waist, moved his muscles, turned around and asked, "I have to go back quickly after eating, Ah Yong is still waiting at home for me to bring food." ”

"Yes, breakfast."

Zhang Xueming seemed to remember something and sat up, "There are already people in our company group ordering food just now, and they may all be almost there." ”

"I've already ordered it for you, it's all meat dishes."

"When you go, take it with you."

As she spoke, she paused, "You have eaten with me so many times, I still know what you like to eat." ”

"But I don't know much about your Ah Yong, you may have to buy something for him yourself."

Lu Zhengyi laughed, "Then thank you Mr. Zhang." ”

"Thank you, I still have to think about how to slap you." Zhang Xueming waved her hand, "But you have to show me your new script first, the conditions or something, it's not the first time we've worked together, we can talk about it." ”

"And what you told me before, the overseas market, as far as the current situation is concerned, the drama Double Pupil still has a good chance."

"I'll find an opportunity to push it at the company's conference."

Lu Zhengyi didn't expect that she would take the initiative to mention this matter, and raised her palms in gratitude.

After watching people work all night, he didn't bother any more.

bought breakfast for Ah Yong, and after returning home, Lu Zhengyi glanced at the time and made a call to Zhang Yu.

"Lao Zhang, how is your health?"

Lu Zhengyi asked softly.

This Zhang Yu is not young, and because of various entertainments, he has all kinds of problems.

The last time I went up the mountain to film in the Taoist temple, it wasn't very good.

Later, because he went to Jiangcheng to take care of Liang Le, he came over to supervise the editing work with his body, and finally fell ill before the movie was released.

Otherwise, as an assistant director, Zhang Yu would definitely be there.

"Ahem...... Fortunately, I drank a few stickers according to the recipe of the head of the mountain road, and it was much better. ”

Zhang Yu's voice was not as full of energy as before, this person was sick, and it was inevitable that he would speak a little like he was holding his throat.

“…… Are you still willing to participate in the next new play? ”

Lu Zhengyi asked hesitantly.

If you don't feel well, you must give someone a holiday.

Of course, the choice lies with Lao Zhang.

"New play?"

Zhang Yu's voice was full of emotion, "Director Lu, you really can't be idle for a moment." ”

"Can you give me some time? Probably...... Few days. ”

"I want to participate, but I don't necessarily want to."

His tone was somewhat complicated.

As someone who has been in this industry for most of his life, he hopes that he can leave something behind and shoot something good.

Before, I didn't meet Lu Zhengyi.

Even if he wants to, he can only think about it, and he is powerless.

Be an executive director and go with the flow.

But now that I have met Lu Zhengyi, I can really shoot something good, but this person can't do it again, it's really unpredictable.

"Yes."

Lu Zhengyi replied without hesitation, "A week, or ...... Two weeks. ”

"Actually, it's not very urgent, Twin Pupils just happened to be on the screen, in fact, I still have something to do."

"You have a good rest, there are still many people in the crew who want to take a break, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, I just ask you."

He is definitely different from normal people.

He can work without resting and spinning continuously, but the rest of the crew cannot.

Especially Zhang Yu, after they finished filming, others could still take a break while editing.

Lao Zhang hardly has much time to rest.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Zhengyi hung up the phone.

"Meow?"

Next to him, Xiao Zhongyong jumped on him and shouted.

"It's okay, it's not going to happen."

Lu Zhengyi gave him a follow-up hair, "The Taoist chief gave him a pulse, although there are many problems, but it is not so sudden that he will leave." ”

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong shouted again.

"Is it quiet? There is indeed a point. ”

Lu Zhengyi raised his head and looked at the slightly silent home.

Zhang Yu fell ill and returned to his hometown.

In the past, he should have stayed here to discuss new scripts with himself.

It is impossible for Xu Feng to live here all the time, and now that the editing work has ended, he has his own home here in the northern capital.

Beam......

"It's quiet all of a sudden, but I'm a little unaccustomed to it." Lu Zhengyi rubbed Xiao Zhongyong's cat head in a trance, "Ah Yong, I am treated so well here, I have food and shelter, and I don't have to work, you can't just leave casually." ”

"Meow!"

Xiao Zhongyong shouted resolutely, as if he was guaranteeing something.

"Even if you have a conscience, you won't just ignore anything, pat your ass and leave."

Lu Zhengyi nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, let's go write the script." ”
