Chapter 178: [The Night Horror is Fixed, and the First Commandment is Carried Positively]
[Lu Zhengyi: @å Ļä―æåæąæ, I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't paid attention to the group. The new film is scheduled, and it will be released on November 27th, the next Yuan Festival. ã
[Lu Zhengyi: @åž į čåž , remember not to look, I have already sent a message to my sister-in-law, and you are strictly forbidden to travel during this time. ã
[Lu Zhengyi: By the way, pull someone into the group. ã
['Zhang Xueming' has joined the group chat.] ã
After the film was submitted for review, Lu Zhengyi, who basically didn't bubble in the group, reappeared.
The rest of the group was not very surprised by the fact that the First Commandment was finalized.
According to the release time after the completion of the film in the past, it was almost November and December.
And what surprised them was Zhang Xueming's entry into the group.
[Zhang Yu: I know, I know, but your attitude makes me more curious about what this film is like. ã
[Zhang Yu: Welcome to the group. ã
[Yu Wenxiu: Welcome Mr. Zhang! ã
[Ajie: Welcome Mr. Zhang! ã
[Zhang Yuming: Welcome sister-in-law! ] ã
[Chang Zhengwei: Welcome sister-in-law! ã
[Bai Wei: Welcome sister-in-law......]
And immediately after, the queue of welcomes below was crooked as they spoke.
Regardless of age, they are uniformly called 'sister-in-law.' â
[Lu Zhengyi: She just went out to work, and she should be driving now, so she shouldn't have time to reply to messages. ã
[Zhang Yuming: ohhhhhhh! ã
[Bai Wei: ohhhhhh! ã
[Ajie: Director Lu, this scale is a bit big. ã
âĶâĶ
early morning
At home,
On the sofa, Zhang Xueming, who had just said goodbye to work, Lu Zhengyi was sitting on the sofa, and was about to talk about the next movie release.
Looking at the messages on the mobile phone screen, one by one, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, stop making a fuss."
He edited the message in the message box, "Xiao Ming, how is your status?" â
And with Lu Zhengyi's inquiry, Zhang Yuming, who was still in the group with a rhythm, posted a crying emoji.
[Zhang Yuming: I've been autistic, I've been hiding at home for many days, and I feel so tired of being a big star. ã
[Yu Li: Director Lu, you don't know, some time ago, he thought he was the same little transparent as before, so he wore a mask and went out to buy something, but he was surrounded by a group of people halfway through. Fortunately, they are all fans who have watched our movies and supported us, not those fans who are frightened at night, otherwise they will have to be thrown eggs. ã
[Zhang Yu: Xiao Ming, if you are on fire, you must have the consciousness of being on fire, in addition to personal remarks, you must also be stricter with yourself in your behavior. ã
Looking at the news in the group chat, Lu Zhengyi didn't feel surprised on his face.
In fact, he knew about it, and Zhang Xueming also knew it.
But some time ago, they didn't have time to deal with that.
"Actually, recently, Xue Ming and I have been discussing things about you actors."
Lu Zhengyi replied to the news, "After all, you are the characters in front of the stage, compared to me, who is half behind the scenes, and there are other people who do behind-the-scenes work, life and work will definitely be affected by the growth of fame, whether it is good or bad." â
"And now, in a sense, even if you sign my team agreement, it's not easy to find a brokerage company."
"So at present, we are considering setting up a docking department for you actors from the light and shadow side, responsible for docking your affairs on the Internet, offline activities, interviews, various speeches, and performances, to avoid the previous situation, Xiao Ming treats Weibo as a private dynamic, the same thing as a circle of friends, and it can be regarded as hiring an agent for you."
When his message was sent here, only Zhang Yuming was left in the group with emojis such as 'sorry', 'fist hugging', and 'bowing'.
"But based on what you just said, I think I might have to give you an assistant or something."
Lu Zhengyi continued to send a message, "After all, people are popular, and many things are really inconvenient to do, such as going to the store to buy things, driving out to play, etc., if a person is exposed, it is still very troublesome." â
"Of course, on the broker side, I think it's necessary. But in terms of assistants, if you don't need our arrangement, you can find someone by yourself, like Lily, and find a few assistants in life by yourself. â
"But the premise, the assistant you are looking for must be reliable, don't secretly collect some evidence at that time, and then expose the things in the crew."
Although it is said that compared to the beginning, now Lu Zhengyi is sure that after the matter is exposed, he will quickly suppress it and drop the relevant topic 404.
But if he can not be exposed, he can still control it.
[Chang Zhengwei: I listen to Director Lu's arrangement here, whether it is an agent or an assistant. ã
Teacher Chang was as sincere as ever, and directly chose to hand over everything to Lu Zhengyi.
[Yu Wenxiu: It's the same on my side. ã
followed by Yu Wenxiu and Zhang Yuming.
As for Yu Li, because she had hired an assistant, she was not easy to dismiss them directly, so she only accepted the operation of the agent.
As for Li Zhenxi, she also rejected the assistant's arrangement.
In terms of follow-up, she does not plan to go deeper in the entertainment industry, except for Lu Zhengyi's side, she will not take over the work alone in other crews.
Li Zhenxi seems to still hope to take care of her daughter.
In addition, she thinks that it would be more appropriate for her to be her daughter's assistant herself, without the need for additional personnel to intervene.
"Okay, I'll just tell you briefly."
Lu Zhengyi confirmed the situation and replied, "In the future, Xue Ming will arrange for others to communicate with you in more detail, as well as additional contract matters." â
[Zhang Xueming: For the sake of convenience, if you have any planning needs, such as only wanting to appear in movies in the future, or what type of film you only want to play and want to participate in variety shows to increase exposure, you can chat with me in a private chat first. ã
[Zhang Xueming: Of course, I am the person in charge of Light and Shadow Media to connect with you, if there is any conflict in the arrangement, you can also communicate with me through Director Lu, after all, he is your direct boss. ã
[Zhang Xueming: Regarding the roadshow and publicity after the First Commandment, I also plan to have a few plans for you to see. ã
To Lu Zhengyi's surprise, Zhang Xueming, who thought she had just gone out and should be driving, posted a few messages in the group very abruptly.
It can be seen that she has been peeking at the screen all the time.
Lu Zhengyi sat up straight from the sofa and gave her a look in the group, "Don't play with your phone while driving." â
[Zhang Xueming: I haven't left yet, I have ordered some afternoon tea in a nearby coffee shop, and I plan to give benefits to the employees, after all, the news will be announced in a few days, and I have to let the employees know before I can make the following arrangements. ã
[Lu Zhengyi: If you have a coffee shop, it should be cake, milk tea, and coffee...... Some employees may not like it, so it's better to have something real, I'll send them a luck red envelope directly in your company's general group. ã
[Zhang Xueming: ...... When you officially get married, you can give red envelopes. Don't worry, I won't rush to pay with you. ã
Lu Zhengyi thought about it, too.
Soon, though, a 'strange' avatar appeared in his field of vision.
[Zhang Yu: I think it's necessary for me to remind you that you are now in a public screen group chat. ã
[Yu Li: Alas, Deputy Director Zhang, what are you interrupting them for? ã
[Zhang Yuming: Yes, yes, I'm looking at it. (And red envelopes, we want them too!) Director Lu, we are your subordinates! ïžã
[Li Zhenxi: @åž éŠčåŦå, Ning Ning said that when she was on winter vacation for a while, she wanted to join a group and experience life, but Director Lu may not have started the filming of the next drama by then, can you ...... (Poor and miserable)]
[Zhang Xueming: Yes, I will let people pay attention to whether there is a more high-quality crew that needs child stars. ã
[Li Zhenxi: Thank you, sister-in-law! ã
[Zhang Xueming: If others need it, they can also communicate with me, or communicate with Director Lu, and I will arrange it depending on the situation. Applejack and Xiaowei ...... You guys behind the scenes, if you don't have a role in the crew, you can also find me if you plan to take on some private work. ã
[Applejack: Thank you, sister-in-law!] ã
[Zhang Yuming: Ah, there is a feeling of being raised by a big boss. ã
Lu Zhengyi looked at their speeches and did not feel uncomfortable.
He didn't feel that things were out of control because they started to contact Zhang Xueming, and there were some thoughts that the plum civet crew was slowly swallowed up by light and shadow.
Because it can't be.
The thing that connects the big guys of the plum civet crew is not a personal relationship, but a secret that is jointly protected. â
'Ding Dong. â
At this time, the chat box of the private chat pops up.
Zhang Xueming, who was still in the group chat, sent a message.
"Regarding their assistance, I am based on the relationship between me and you, as a friend of the cooperation, I will emphasize this point clearly in the follow-up communication with them, so that they will not be confused about which company they belong to."
Obviously, she also thought that some things were clear.
Lu Zhengyi didn't reply with words like 'it's okay', 'I believe in you', 'I'll leave it to you', and after the typing of 'da-da-da' ended.
The word "understand" appeared on the screen.
There is no need for him to say something about the scene, or to take advantage of this time to give trust to others.
It's a timely separation.
They are now working.
Work and life are to be separated in some things.
I believe that with Zhang Xueming's temperament, she also hopes to get the reply of 'understanding', rather than other thoughtful words like being said because of personal feelings.
From the personnel who operate, to the 'movies', 'TV series', 'variety shows'...... For a kind of resources, Zhang Xueming is very friendly to the people in the plum cat crew, and basically gives the greatest convenience.
That's where you get the benefit of having a deeper relationship with an established media company.
As a crew, Lu Zhengyi can only help them within the scope of his own film at most.
And outside of the set, he can only help with some supernatural things.
As for the play, work, and operation...... Lu Zhengyi may be able to help with these things, but his personal energy is limited, and he can't solve it, and he can't do it.
So Yu Wenxiu and Yu Li left the crew to take over the play, relying more on themselves.
I believe that after that, if Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming don't have suitable roles in the next play, they also need to take over the play, judge the quality of the script, and audition.
But now it's different.
Deepening the relationship with Zhang Xueming is equivalent to deepening the relationship with Light and Shadow Media.
With the current direction of their company's operation, they are all signed by some online bloggers.
According to Zhang Xueming's 'chain of contempt', it is difficult for these bloggers to get big resources in the entertainment industry, such as movies and TV series, it is basically impossible, at most they can get some online dramas, or variety shows with no ratings.
It is a situation where there are resources in hand, but no one is qualified to use them.
So in terms of film and television, light and shadow actually have a lot of resources to share with the actors in the crew.
With the previous acquaintance between Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming, although they can also talk about it and have a relationship, it is absolutely impossible to arrange everything.
After all, light and shadow are not Zhang Xueming's final say.
But now it's different, this marriage relationship has built such a bridge very well.
The plum civet crew is Lu Zhengyi's family,
Light and Shadow Media is Zhang Xueming's family,
It's two families helping each other, and the situation is very different.
[Night Horror is set for November 27th! ] ã
ã#įŽŽäļčŊŦååĪéæéįįæĢéĒæ äļäš! #įŧ§įŽŽäļčŊŦå§įŧåŪåŪĢå, the Night Horror crew also announced overnight that it will be released on the 27th of this month! ã
[Niu, the speculation of netizens has come true, according to the first-hand news that the editor got from the fans, Night Terror was originally going to be set on the 27th, but because of the leakage of the news, it was sniped by the unscrupulous crew, and it was officially announced one step later! ] ã
[Liu Yujing posted a blog saying that it was purely a coincidence that the two sides were released on the same day, and I hope that while everyone supports the night horror, they will not forget the first commandment. ã
[Bai Shaoshang reposted Director Liu's Weibo, with a picture saying that he wished both films a big sell, showing his style! ] ã
[How many years! There has never been such a violent and direct collision in the film and television industry, November 27th, I believe that the major theaters across the country will become battlefields on that day! Bloggers will definitely arrive as soon as possible to bring you the latest reports, follow me to learn more! ã
âĶâĶ
"Look, even if the news leaks and is sniped, our Shao Shangjun is still so approachable and loves love."
"Ah, the bloodshot in Shao Shangjun's eyes is so serious, he must be angry!"
"So what, if you are angry, you can also operate with a smile, unlike the one next door who was eliminated early, and the little family is angry."
"Laughing to death, posting blogs and deleting blogs, that Zhang Yuming really laughed to death for me."
"He probably didn't go to school, understand."
âĶâĶ
As expected by Lu Zhengyi, and as speculated by many netizens.
After the First Commandment was officially announced, the Night Horror crew also made an official announcement, directly clarifying the situation.
In the film and television industry, there has not been a situation like this when the same type was released at the same time.
Often, whether it is the theater side or the film side, they will pay attention to whether the films of the same schedule are of the same type, and avoid each other to show friendship and avoid comparison.
Everyone is harmonious and wealthy, and no one can offend anyone.
But this time it was noticeably different.
On the Internet, the discussion about the two sides is also intensifying, especially Bai Shaoshang's fan group, like a water army, fighting on various platforms, posting all kinds of remarks, saying some criticisms such as 'petty family' and 'unscrupulous crew'.
At the same time, they also spread the news so that more people knew about it.
Even people who don't watch movies often, even people who don't pay attention to horror movies, have more or less gotten the news.
But......
At the end of October, there was already a light snow in the northern capital.
late at night
At the door of Light and Shadow Media, Lu Zhengyi was standing by the car, lighting a cigarette and looking into the company.
From time to time, people come and go, showing a subtle smile, nodding to him, or greeting him.
Even the security guard at the door took a cup of hot water and ran over and handed it to him.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm late to pack my things."
With the sound of 'popping' footsteps, Zhang Xueming took the bag and hurriedly ran out of it, and after seeing Lu Zhengyi again, she hurriedly said apologetically.
"Get in the car first."
Lu Zhengyi replied softly and helped her open the car door.
"Actually, you don't have to come and pick me up every day."
Zhang Xueming whispered while getting into the car, "And aren't you going to be released tomorrow, don't you need to prepare?" â
"Hey, it's cold."
Lu Zhengyi got into the car, first took out the hand warmer from the bag and handed it over, and then replied with a smile, "I can pick you up now, and after a while, I will go to the set to film, even if you want to, I won't be able to come." â
Zhang Xueming pursed her lips, took the hand warmer bag, and held it in her hand.
In fact, she is not cold, there is heating in the company, and there is also heating in the car, that is, the section of the road from the door to the car is a little cold.
She doesn't hate the feeling, though.
"As for tomorrow's release, everything that should be prepared has already been prepared."
Lu Zhengyi started the car, "It's pointless to cram." â
"Aren't you worried?"
Zhang Xueming looked at him, "The wind direction on the Internet is not very good for you now." â
"There are a bunch of people with rhythm, some follow the trend, some are water army, and there are fans of Bai Shaoshang."
"In the case of Huang Xuan before, I could still find out that someone from Xingyu Media was operating it, but now I really can't find out who it is."
If you can't find out, it means that there are too many people who have done it.
In fact, since the First Commandment was announced, there has been quite a bit of negative news about them.
From Lu Zhengyi's income problem, to the night fright, Zhang Yuming......
Because they want to eat alone in the horror film market, there are not many people who are red-eyed.
"What's there to worry about, you say it's on the Internet."
Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile, "In reality, our reputation is still very good. â
"Xiao Ming went out and was recognized before, and a bunch of people are our fans."
"During the period after the official announcement, although there was a lot of noise on the Internet, in reality, I really didn't see a few people who really dared to jump out and say something bad, whether it was on my side or someone else's side."
Regarding the First Commandment and the Night's Terror, the Internet and reality are completely different tones.
On the Internet, a bunch of people hit hard, saying things like playing and rubbing heat, making First Commandment and the crew look like some kind of villain, and the night horror is the little pitiful who is bullied, just waiting for the release to prove his ability.
But in reality, Lu Zhengyi, as a person behind the half-scenes, may not have anything to say, after all, he is at home most of the time.
But Zhang Yuming, Chang Zhengwei, Yu Wenxiu, Yu Li...... They are on the table, and there are occasional people who are moving around, and they don't even see a single black fan, even if they are recognized when they go out, they see mostly people who support their new film.
In this case, it is inevitable to ask.
"These rhythmic friends on the Internet should not only be Xingyu, right?"
Lu Zhengyi couldn't help laughing, "Now maybe the night horror crew and the Xingyu Media invested behind them may be a little confused." â
"I feel that at the beginning, they should have just operated a little, planning to step on others and praise themselves, but suddenly there were so many people who followed the trend, they should also realize that they were used as guns by some people."
"The current situation is that we and them have been set up, and we can't get off the stage anymore, so we can only fight with real guns."
Speaking of this, he paused, "This fight, the person who loses, should be ugly, right?" â
"Suddenly a little regretful, I finally have an opponent who plans to fight our crew head-on."
Zhang Xueming listened, her expression was a little helpless, and asked:
"Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"I've seen your finished films, and to be honest, they are indeed of great quality, higher than the quality of your previous works."
"But this battle is now contested not by the film itself."
No matter how good the quality of the First Commandment is, it is possible to lose this battle.
"Hmm...... Well, I thought I might lose. â
Lu Zhengyi pondered, "But now I feel that I can't lose a little." â
said, he didn't sell it, and explained bluntly, "After all, the attention is too high, and the difficulty of operation has increased by more than one and a half stars, and now the popularity of this competition on the same stage is as good as those movies in the Spring Festival file." â
With just one sentence, Zhang Xueming immediately understood what it meant, and a smile also appeared on her face.
"But is it really good to let the rest of the crew stay in a hotel?"
"I remember that before, you all lived together."
"And...... And I've been there for a long time and don't feel very good. â
She withdrew her gaze and moved on to something else.
"What's wrong, that's your home."
Lu Zhengyi hurriedly replied, "It was before, and now it is now. â
"My family is going to be a wedding room now, how can it be like a hotel, let them live in."
"And they're moving in, they're going to make fun of you."
He also didn't talk about the topic just now, and his face was not worried at all.
Because the news of the First Commandment and the Night Fright competing on the same stage has been out of the circle.
Although Lu Zhengyi's previous films have also been out of the circle, they quickly went out, leaving people with the impression of 'making horror movies' at most.
His influence is more limited to the circle of horror films.
Only by watching horror movies and paying attention to this aspect can people understand Lu Zhengyi.
But this time it's different.
With the help of all parties, the attention of the First Commandment and the Night Fright competition on the same stage has been comparable to those movies in the Spring Festival file.
What is the concept of a Spring Festival movie, it is not a big production of hundreds of millions, or a patriotic film about the feelings of the family and the country.
In this case, it is much more difficult to operate the box office, attendance, popularity, and reviews of the film.
Even, the difficulty of operation is higher than that of the Spring Festival stalls.
Because of the time point on November 27th, they have the attention of Spring Festival movies, but there is no traffic.
People, they haven't had a holiday yet!
