Chapter 221: [Are You Really Not Human]
"Tell me princess, please get in the car."
"Hahaha."
"Don't laugh, don't laugh! Eh, look at ......."
β¦β¦
Tang Guo,
late at night
Somewhere in Shencheng, in the staff dormitory of a factory,
The young guy is eating instant noodles for supper while watching short videos.
Before going to the all-night shift, I always have to eat something to cushion my stomach.
And with all kinds of noisy sounds coming from the horn of the mobile phone, another young man poked his head out of the toilet, stuffed a toothbrush in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Hey, buddy, don't you know what time it is?" It's past eleven o'clock, can we plug in headphones. β
The guy watching the video glanced at him, "Aren't you awake?" β
And the young man who was talking in a good voice retracted his smile and stared at him closely, "The point is that you have disturbed me." β
The voice had long since lost the smile just now, and his tone became colder.
The guy watching the video didn't speak, and stared at him as well.
After a while, he 'cut' and casually picked up the headphones on the table and put them on.
The dormitory in the factory is not like a school, although everyone is under the same roof, the relationship is not close.
If the schedule happens to be staggered, you basically can't even see each other.
Seeing that people put on headphones, the young man who opened his mouth to warn didn't say much, and went back to the toilet to wash.
And just as he closed the toilet door again, the young man who was sucking instant noodles swiped a strange video of a woman with a good figure lying on the bed in a dimly lit room.
'Rubbing edges again? β
That was his first reaction.
He knows what videos he can swipe out of his own account.
But soon, he vetoed the idea.
There is no music.
In the earhook headphones that are tightly fastened to the ear wheels, there is no rhythmic music, not cross-dressing, and no dancing and wiping.
Yes, just a very subtle, muffled wheezing sound.
In the quiet environment, the sound is extremely clear through the headphones, and there is a feeling that someone is gasping in his ear.
βASMRοΌ β
As soon as the young man came up with this idea, a pleasant face appeared in front of him as soon as the picture in the video turned.
'This is, Li Ruonan? β
He recognized the woman, or the actor, in the picture.
The specific name, the young man doesn't remember.
But he remembered a movie that people once acted in, an impressive movie - the curse.
This film is quite popular, and he has seen it.
"Giggles......
Before the young man could move his gaze to the title of the video, a strange voice sounded from inside the headphones.
The in-ear headphones are well isolated from the noise of the outside world, and at the same time, the sound in the video is clearly transmitted into his ear canal.
Suddenly, the woman in the video opened her eyes, and she seemed to see something, her eyes staring straight at herself.
Yes, from the young man's vision, her bloodshot and fearful gaze was staring at herself.
A chill rose from behind him out of thin air, and he instinctively slid his fingers upwards.
"Ahh
But before the young man could slide, a shrill cry exploded in her ears, and at the same time, strands of black worm-like hair scattered across her face.
"!"
The young man jerked off the headphones in his ear and cursed, "Director Dog! β
He probably knew what the video was made of.
The next moment, the word 'curse' condensed by blood appeared in the eyes of this young man.
"Pinch Mom, I know!"
"I started pushing videos at night, and the horses of the people in charge of pushing the short videos had to die!"
"Convinced, I really obeyed this director of the underworld! Is this trailer human-made? β
The young guy didn't wear headphones anymore, so he quickly crossed out the video first.
"Say goodnight, good night, good night to you."
The beautiful and graceful figure made the young man's already chilled body feel better.
But before he could cover the heat, the finger swiped.
The same room, the same woman, the same perspective.
"Again?"
On the big night, the young man didn't want to watch it again, so he quickly brushed the video out.
But it wasn't long before the trailer reappeared on his phone screen.
Young man: "......"
He clicked on the avatar of the video blankly, good guy, a blogger with millions of fans.
Then, he pulled the video up again, and retrieved the two videos just now.
The owner of the account is a blogger with only a few hundred thousand followers and a star with a lot of influence in the circle.
How much does it cost to ask these bloggers to help with promotion?
But this is how it is promoted......
The young guy turned off the APP, tonight's video, don't watch it!
Originally, this director was just in the underworld, but now look at it, this is not a person at all!
It's a big night, shouting that so many people push and forward horror movie trailers, right?
And the same situation happened in Wakoku.
The overseas version of the short video, the trailer of the curse was launched as scheduled.
Although Heguo has limited its domestic film and television publicity efforts due to policy reasons, occupying public resources.
But short videos are not a public resource, just an app from a foreign country.
It's just that the popularity of this APP has made many young people in Heguo pay attention.
Compared with the perspective seen by people in the Tang Kingdom, the video seen by the audience in Heguo is the other side.
What they substitute is the perspective of the loud son played by Yu Wenxiu!
And the one who faces it directly, of course, is the gamma coconut on the ceiling that stares at him and his black hair is scattered!
"Did you get it? Trailer in a short video! β
"Death to the director! It's really a [beep-], sooner or later it's going to be [beep-] [beep-]"
βοΌοΌοΌ One second it was a good night video of Kiko-chan, and the next second I was awake! β
"This kind of propaganda is too bad! Boycott! β
"wwwwww has been blocked, why do bloggers keep sending it out!"
"I hope this director dies!"
"Like...... They are all bloggers from the Tang Kingdom! β
"Huh? Will they also help promote our films? It's so rare, is this film very popular on their side! β
β¦β¦
Although it was late at night, it was not quiet on the Internet.
All the young people who swiped the curse trailer have posted words on the Internet that look excited.
And it is not difficult to see from the text that most of them accidentally swiped it when they turned off the lights and curled up in the quilt to play with their mobile phones.
But what surprised them even more was that there were many bloggers who had a lot of attention in Tang Guo reposting this trailer to help with publicity.
This is very rare.
Yes, they didn't think of this film as a film made by Tang people.
From the shooting style of the movie, to the scenes in the room, the ornaments and props, to the makeup and costumes of the ghosts...... A lot of the content is the daily elements of Heguo, this is a horror movie of Heguo, they all think so.
Compared with these unknown Japanese audiences, Tang Guo is accustomed to it...... No, they didn't adapt.
On Tang Guo's Weibo, the entry at the top of the list has been occupied by the word 'curse'.
And when you click on this entry, all that appears are a variety of comments with asterisks.
From the countless comments with an asterisk, Lu Zhengyi struggled to pick out a few complete ones.
"@ε’ζ£δΉε¬ζθ―΄θ°’θ°’δ½ , because of your ......"
"I thought it was already bad to engage in some real and fake marketing, but I didn't expect this director to be really inappropriate, pushing these at night, I almost peed!"
"Okay, good, I just took a look at it on the Internet, and the people of Heguo also like our director, so I recommend packing it and sending it over."
"Actually, I watched the trailer on the side of Heguo, and I think we're already very yang."
"What trailer?"
β¦β¦
Light and Shadow Media,
In the manager's office,
Lu Zhengyi sat on the sofa and read these comments one by one, until he finished reading the last normal comment, he looked at Zhang Xueming who was sitting behind the desk, "Xueming, look at this black pot on my body, it is big and round." β
Behind the desk, Zhang Xueming also slid the wheel, looked at the comments of netizens with a smile, and said softly, "The publicity effect is good, and the discussion directly throws off the second hot search list, with hundreds of thousands of comments." β
Lu Zhengyi raised his arm and shook it, and said:
"Hey, hey, can you keep an eye on me."
"This wave of marketing is obviously operated by you, why is the pot on me."
"It's you who aren't human, not me."
Zhang Xueming listened to his voice and poked her head out from the monitor.
On her face, which had risen a little charming and mature after marriage, a bright smile was raised, "Hard work, husband." β
The voice is soft and the attitude is sincere.
"Okay, okay, I'll carry it, I'll carry this black cauldron."
Lu Zhengyi's raised arm was lowered.
As he spoke, his eyes filled with smiles.
As the marriage time is getting longer and longer, Zhang Xueming is becoming more and more active.
But a relationship always has to have a back and forth.
In the past, it was always Lu Zhengyi's side who took the initiative first, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, and even some more intimate contacts, all of which he proposed.
But slowly, Zhang Xueming also began to take the initiative to do something for this relationship.
For example, after he comes home, cook a meal for him,
During his absence, caring for both parents,
When I'm at home, I don't talk much about work......
They are all doing their part for the stability of this relationship.
Although she is still more focused on filming, although she is still more focused on the company's affairs, there is slowly some living space between the two.
They're all changing.
"However, will we be too ruthless to the audience of Heguo."
But Zhang Xueming looked at the trailer of the Hewen reprinted by Tang Guo netizens from the Internet, and looked at the barrage on it one by one, "Ahh......h and so on, and began to wonder if he was going too far.
To be honest, both trailers are the same scene though.
But Hibiki's vision is completely different from that of Gaco.
"The special effects that Wang Xiaoxu did this time are a little different from the last time." Zhang Xueming looked at the face that seemed to have been smashed with a hammer, recessed, and spilled blood with a hammer in Xiangzi's field of vision, and couldn't help but fork off the web page, "It's even more infiltrating." β
As she spoke, she looked back at her husband, who was sitting across from her.
Suddenly, the chill on his body slowly receded.
"Really?"
Lu Zhengyi casually clicked on the trailer on Heguo's side, groping his chin, "It's okay." β
He can only analyze this shape from the perspective of a director, from an artistic level.
As for the horror brought by the image of Gaco, he definitely can't feel it.
"But don't worry, this level is trivial for the people of Heguo."
But then, Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "I don't know how many horror movies and urban legends there are over there, and holding a sports meeting is the same as opening the door of the underworld, like the special effects of the level of grudges, I think they can accept it." β
"In fact, I am more worried about the domestic audience than the people in Heguo." Zhang Xueming looked at him helplessly, "You said, if the domestic audience has not gone through the baptism of your previous films, they will directly buy tickets to watch this curse, and they will be scared out of the way when the time comes, what should I do." β
She felt that Lu Zhengyi went to shoot with Heguo this time, and he really let go of his hands and feet to shoot.
The level of horror is not the same as the previous ones.
There is no superfluous cultural output, purely for the sake of being scary.
plus the special effects made by Wang Xiaoxu.
She really thinks that some psychologically fragile people can't stand it.
Before the film was submitted for trial, Zhang Xueming had seen the finished film.
How to say it, if Lu Zhengyi wasn't around, she wouldn't dare to look at this curse anyway.
Under the dark theater, quiet and like a daily plot, the corner of the eye suddenly swept to the corner, and the feeling of a gray figure coming out is very special.
"Is it ...... domestic?"
Lu Zhengyi also hesitated, "I can only start with the restriction level and prompt." β
"Or maybe it's cutting something out?"
"We can put a cut version and an uncut version."
In fact, he also has doubts about this issue.
That's why he advised the taxi driver who took him home to do what he could.
Zhang Xueming nodded, "You can consider it." β
She's serious and plans to make a cut-down version.
But on the other side, Lu Zhengyi was a little melancholy, "But this film is actually a good opportunity." β
"What chance?"
Zhang Xueming was a little puzzled.
"Do you know what the highest honor of a horror film is?"
Lu Zhengyi asked.
"What?"
Zhang Xueming was even more puzzled, "Best Picture? Oscar for Best Picture? β
"No, no, no, these are just the highest honors for ordinary films." Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, slowly stood up and came to the window, lifted the corner of the curtain, and let the sunlight shine into the house, "For horror films, the highest honor should be to be banned and listed as a banned film." β
"Actually, I think we have this opportunity in this film."
"Although the income may not be ideal, this honor is very rare."
As soon as she said this, Zhang Xueming was stunned.
After a while, she shook her head, "You're really not a good person, otherwise, let's release those shooting tidbits, so that you can definitely achieve the effect you want." β
