"It's so full of demonic power."

Ikebukuro,

When night falls,

The disturbed people came in a hurry, or rather, they didn't dare to step into this area of demonic power until the personnel were assembled.

And on a tall building near the mall, a middle-aged warrior holding a sword and a scar on his face said in a deep voice, "Although it lasted for more than an hour, the owner of this demonic power seems to have an extremely precise control of power. ”

"The speed at which the breath is released and converged is very fast, almost instantaneous!"

"This is something that only those long-rumored big youkai can do!"

And next to him, a young woman dressed in a shrine maiden costume and holding a fan was full of doubts on her face, "But it's strange, with such a powerful demonic power, and haunting this prosperous place, why hasn't there been the slightest change?" The more powerful the youkai, the more brutal it is, this is a well-known truth. ”

"There's only one answer."

A hoarse, shrill voice sounded, "This big monster has a master, and it has become the god of a certain Onmyoji, only in this way can it remain calm under the control of the Onmyoji." ”

"Otherwise, it would not be able to endure seeing so much blood food."

"It's strange that there is a person in the Onmyoji who can subdue the big monster, but there is no news at all."

Beside this young shrine maiden, there was an old man who was also wearing a shrine maiden costume.

The old shrine maiden's face was full of wrinkles, and even her body began to shrink and become short due to age.

"Anyway, the crisis is over."

Another happy voice sounded, and the man in the suit and glasses picked up his mobile phone and said as he dialed the phone, "On the Onmyoji's side, I will go to confirm the situation." ”

"But this is good news, after the sudden death of Muto-sama, the appearance of someone on the Onmyoji side to replace him will help stabilize the situation in the country."

"Recently, the areas that should have been guarded by Lord Muto have become more and more unstable."

With the advent of the surname 'Muto'.

The faces of the few people who were still very calm were a little gloomy.

Muto Weijiro, who is extremely talented in the Onmyoji and has studied for decades, has the power to drive away ghosts and gods, and I don't know how much stronger he can say compared to them.

It is even rumored that he has a Shikigami that is comparable to the ghosts and gods of ancient times.

But such a character died violently at home for no apparent reason.

Although there was not the slightest trace of the murderer at the scene, whether it was monitoring or the residual spiritual power, they all knew very well that the murderer was most likely from the Tang Kingdom.

And it could be someone hired by Chen Junsheng.

The temptation of the Tang Kingdom, laid by Muto Weijiro decades ago, is not a secret in the supernatural circle.

"Speaking of which, the curse starring Chen Junsheng seems to be released today."

Suddenly, the young witch said, "And near that mall, there is the largest theater in the country. ”

Her arms were raised, her fingers pointing forward, and in the daytime, demonic power poured out in all directions.

……

……

": Those who haven't watched it should not watch it, it's not good for health!"

": I have a hunch that a new urban legend is about to appear!"

": Why are Japanese horror movies more terrifying than in the West? Western horror films are mainly based on bloody violence, such as killer bees, giant crocodiles, giant sharks, zombie viruses or serial murderers, with strong materialist colors. The advantage of Heguo horror films is that we have a relatively long history, and even can be traced back to the Wuzhu culture on the Oriental continent, and those revered ghosts and gods are the cornerstone of our horror films to become the top of the world! ”

": But this was taken by the Tang people."

": I was old and had to get up once at night, but I didn't expect to be cured after watching this film!"

I can't understand why there is a horror movie that can cause such a strong discomfort in the physiological reaction, I dare say that the audience who watched the movie in the same hall as me at the time could feel the chill from the screen! It's as cold as winter, but the theater doesn't have air conditioning, so it's incomprehensible! ”

": Because of Mr. Chen, I went to the theater last night to support the premiere, and it's four o'clock in the morning, but I have the light on in the room, and I don't even dare to turn over and close my eyes and open my eyes, I will probably squint and lose sleep until dawn!"

……

Hotel

When the morning sun shone into the house through the windows and through the curtains, Lu Zhengyi's biological clock reminded him on time to wake up from sleep.

But the next moment, he felt the pressure.

Cat owners may occasionally have such an experience.

In the middle of the night, a kitten sneaked into the room, first cowering into the bed, and then moving a little like a cat and a cat worm, until finally shrunk into a soft, warm little lump, which was pressed on the chest.

If you are a person with fragile physical fitness, there is a high probability that you will start to have nightmares and something like a ghost pressing the bed.

Even if the cat is shrunk directly on the face, it may still have a feeling of suffocation and dream that it has fallen into the sea.

However, because the family cat is more special, Lu Zhengyi has always regretted that he did not have such an experience.

But now it makes up for it.

He lay flat on his back, his head bowed, and lifted the covers.

What caught his eye was a messy head of black hair.

This scene reminded Lu Zhengyi of a scene he conceived and cursed 2.

However, compared to Wang Xiaoxu's construction, Jia Coconut's distorted, concave, and faceless face.

At this moment, under this scattered black hair, although the little face is without makeup, whether it is the state of the skin or the facial features, it makes people have the idea of 'if it is such a female ghost, it is actually acceptable'.

Probably because the emotions of the other audiences in the theater were exaggerated yesterday, Zhang Xueming was lying on top of him, and his hands and feet were tied like ropes.

It seemed that his action when he lifted the quilt disturbed her.

Zhang Xueming opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zhengyi's eyes with ignorance.

Under his field of vision, the big blank eyes slowly focused, and his dull expression gradually became bright.

"Early."

Zhang Xueming sat up, stretched, and naturally said hello.

But suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly reached out and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table.

"How's it going?"

Zhang Xueming asked while searching on the Internet.

"I haven't looked at my phone yet."

Lu Zhengyi didn't take his mobile phone, so he leaned over to look at what she was holding.

"You should have woken up before I did."

Zhang Xueming turned her head to look at him strangely, "Aren't you in a hurry?" ”

"Although the atmosphere of yesterday's scene was not bad, it was just a theater data."

"Ikebukuro is a commercial area with a large flow of people from Japan, and its traffic has also brought a boost to the popularity of this theater, but the data in those relatively remote places is still unknown."

As an investor and wife, she followed Lu Zhengyi to Heguo this time to confirm the release of the movie here.

This overseas plan is enough for her to attach so much importance to it.

Lu Zhengyi thought for a moment, "This is the judgment of the director. ”

"Good."

Zhang Xueming looked at her phone again.

This is to block her with her words at the meeting.

"Let's see how much we got yesterday, well, it doesn't look like much. 79 million yuan, which is more than 300 yuan at the current exchange rate...... Almost four million. ”

She gave priority to confirming the premiere statistics from within the company, "On the Heguo side, the ticket price of each ticket is 1,300 yuan, which means that about 60,000 people choose to enter the theater and watch our movies." ”

"The total population of Heguo is about 130 million, and according to estimates, our mobilization rate is not high."

"If you keep this data every day, it will be counted as a month of release, that is, 30 days, and the final box office will be 2.1 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 110 million yuan in Tang yuan."

Speaking of this, she paused, "And the first-day box office data of the curse with us is, 90 million." ”

"The data of a full month of release in Heguo is probably equivalent to the box office data of one day in our country, and this situation is not good."

Although this is a premiere, it is not good in terms of revenue alone.

Whether the box office of the movie on the Heguo side is qualified, in addition to the income of the film, there is also an additional standard for calculating the mobilization rate.

Judging from the current situation, the film of Curse only attracted a small part of the audience in Heguo.

But speaking of this, Zhang Xueming's face was not a little heavy, but very flat.

It's the same in terms of tone.

"The data is fast."

Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile, "It looks like you're going to fail." ”

"You don't look like a failure." Zhang Xueming glanced at him and shook her head regretfully, "I thought I could deceive you." ”

"It's not right in tone, tone."

Lu Zhengyi spread his hands, "And I said it, I have been studying Chinese films for a long time." ”

"The research here is not just about the way the shooting is done."

"I also know about some of the box office data of horror films here, and our first-day data is okay."

Different countries have different types of movies that people in different countries prefer.

For example, science fiction films in the Stars and Stripes Kingdom, drama films in the Tang Kingdom, and crime films in the Southern Dynasties Kingdom......

On the side of Heguo, the genre that is easy to get a high box office is anime.

On the box office list of Heguo movies, nearly half of the top ten are animated movies.

And horror films, no matter what country they are in, are considered niche.

In the Tang Kingdom, the data of 90 million box office on the first day is only because horror films have been suppressed in China for too long, and finally ushered in spring.

You must know that before Lu Zhengyi became famous, the box office of Tang Guo's horror films may not even be 10 million.

And so far, there is no horror film on the Heguo side that has exceeded 100 million at the box office on the first day.

In this comparison, the box office data of 79 million yuan on the first day of "Curse" is actually quite good.

It should even be said that it is good.

If it is really calculated according to Zhang Xueming, the daily box office data will be maintained until the box office of 2 billion yuan is finally obtained, then "Curse" can directly reach the top of the list of horror movies in Heguo!

"But with this mobilization rate, the money will definitely be lost."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhengyi said softly, "Although in terms of the situation, we have a very reasonable loss. ”

It is definitely not a good choice to give up a market as big as Tang Guo and come to the small market of Heguo to earn a mere 79 million yuan, which is equivalent to Tang Yuan but only 4 million yuan.

Not to mention, the depreciation of the Heyuan continues.

In terms of the payment currency of foreign trade, the status of the yuan has fallen again and again.

From the point of view of existing earnings alone, this business is definitely a loss.

In response to Lu Zhengyi's words, Zhang Xueming silently closed the chat box in the company's group chat, opened some social networking sites on Heguo's side, and muttered, "Look at it, see how much this fire can burn." ”

But as a qualified businessman, this business is not counted as such.

Compared with earning the currency of 'money', what is more important to conquer overseas markets is fame, that is, influence, and even traffic.

Overseas projects are inherently high-risk, long-term investments.

Although there are cultural differences, stereotypes, political economy...... Lots of questions.

But these problems can be solved, and the most important thing is the problem of one's own mentality.

The risk of this investment is so great that most people subconsciously avoid the idea of going out, and the domestic fundamentals are not small, so people can't help but have the idea that there is no need to go out and make money with others.

And it is precisely for this reason that when actors and stars from other countries reach a certain level of fame in their homeland, they naturally have a lot of influence in the world.

But on the Tang side, many stars and actors who are called 'top streamers' and 'old drama bones' in their homeland are actually only limited to China, and at most they only go to Dongzhou, and there is a sense of self-containedness.

Zhang Xueming stared at her mobile phone, reading the comments of those who are with Chinese people, and even people from other countries.

She wanted to find out the key points of the investment from the comments.

But as soon as she opened the web page, before she slipped down, a big hand suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and then gently pinched the phone and pulled it out of her hand!

"Eh, eh!"

Zhang Xueming stretched out her arms, wanting to snatch them back.

But even if she stretched out, her hand couldn't reach it, and she could only watch the phone farther and farther away.

"Anyway, let's eat first."

Lu Zhengyi stood on the side of the bed, his big hand pinching the screen of his mobile phone, as if he was pinching a playing card, "I want to see it with my own eyes than from the comments on the Internet and use words to feel the love of these Chinese audiences." ”

As he spoke, he sat on the edge of the bed with his white socks on his own, pulled his legs over with his big hands, and began to put them on her.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xueming was pulled to the side of the bed and looked at him blankly.

"There was a teacher in the theater yesterday." Lu Zhengyi explained, "When we left the venue, we saw the black audience who was arguing with the prison guard, and to be honest, as far as I know, the country side is very repulsive to black people, which can be said to be undisguised discrimination. ”

"But I was a little surprised that guy could be a foreign teacher here, so I paid a little attention to it."

"After all, without increasing the price, let him watch a 5D effect movie for free, so today I plan to go to his school to see how he feels."

By the way, find out what high school students on the country side think about curses.

After all, from the very beginning, their audience was defined by the younger demographic.

Zhang Xueming slapped Lu Zhengyi's hand away and planned to help him get dressed, thinking about yesterday's situation.

"Like...... There was a black man. ”

As she dressed, she said, "I remember, he used to quarrel at that time, and it seemed that he was still very proficient in Japanese." ”

It's just that she was looking down at the online comments on her mobile phone at the time, so she wasn't very impressed.

But thinking of this, Zhang Xueming's face was a little strange, "I watched a very classic criminal investigation film before, and there is often a phenomenon in it, after the murderer commits the crime, he likes to return to the place of the incident to pay attention to the victim's situation and enjoy the thrill of the crime." ”

"I've probably seen the criminal investigation film you mentioned."

Lu Zhengyi himself got dressed and stood in front of the mirror tidying up, "Detective Conan, right?" ”

As he spoke, he touched his chin, "It looks like this, it does have a bit of criminal potential." ”

"If you don't become famous, you don't need to be capable."

"If I pass by a crime scene, I will probably be arrested as a suspect as soon as possible, right?"

When he was not famous in the Tang Kingdom before, he entered the smoking area in a public place, and although there were a few people squatting there, there was definitely a place for himself as soon as he walked over.

Because as soon as they walked over, the others trampled on the smoke and dispersed.

"It's fine."

Zhang Xueming came over neatly dressed, padded her feet, and patted him on the shoulder very imposingly, "When the time comes, I will hire the best lawyer for you." ”

"Don't just rush into the process of hiring a lawyer!"

Lu Zhengyi said helplessly, opened the door first, and walked out.

However, the moment he walked out of the door, his expression froze, and he turned his head strangely to look at the end of the aisle.

"Oh, did you find out?"
