People will encounter different obstacles and goals at different stages.

When he first became a director, Lu Zhengyi's obstacle was the stereotype like a mountain.

Almost no one thought that he would succeed, and when the news of the premiere of the old corpse in the mountain village came out, even if some big names were invited to help with the publicity, it was still inevitable that some people were singing about it, saying things like 'domestic horror movies are not good', 'an impulsive young man', 'the stupid son of the landlord's ......' and so on.

Even later, Lu Zhengyi's old corpse in the mountain village became popular under the tap water propaganda of fans, but when the second part of the curse was released, there were still people saying things like 'just lucky', 'not so lucky this time', 'horror movies are still foreign horror ......' and so on.

Up to one, two, three...... No one uses the word 'luck' to describe his work.

The stereotype of horror films in the hearts of Tang audiences has been broken.

But with that comes new obstacles and goals.

"The director is disgusting, scary for the sake of scary."

"This movie has no basic artistic appreciation at all, I really don't understand why so many people buy tickets."

"Capital, capital, the heat of speculation."

"Are there really so many people who love horror movies? One billion box office, I really dare to blow it, and I don't know how much water there is in it. ”

"After reading it with a frown from beginning to end, what's so good about this plot? It's as white as a schoolboy's diary. ”

……

As the craze for resentment grew, a number of different voices began to emerge.

Some people began to analyze why this work was popular from the perspective of Lizhongke, and the result was that because the marketing was in place, it had no artistic value in itself.

Some people think that this work is a bad work made by the director with pure malice in order to disgust and scary.

Some people even think that the results of this film are not as hot as they see on the surface, and there are not so many people in Tang Guo who like horror movies at all......

The appearance of these voices, of course, is a matter of course.

For this, Lu Zhengyi was not surprised.

Among them, probably some people bought tickets to the cinema to watch it for two hours in order to keep up with the trend, and finally left a bad comment under the psychology of fear and annoyance.

Of course, it may also be that some hot-eyed peers in the circle are leading the rhythm, after all, if Lu Zhengyi earns more, they earn less.

But whatever the reason, he accepted the scolding as a matter of course, and directed the employees of Light and Shadow to suppress these statements to a certain extent to prevent them from appearing in the eyes of more people.

"Why are you back, it's already so late."

Late at night, Zhang Xueming, who had just finished the meeting, was pulled off work by Lu Zhengyi before she had time to sort out the meeting materials.

"Anyway, as a husband, I shouldn't have left you here alone at such a late hour, and let someone else take you home, right?" Lu Zhengyi helped her open the car door, "I have already taken all the luggage home first." ”

Because after they returned to China, they took a taxi directly to the company, and did not go home or drive.

So he just took the time to take a taxi back home, put down his luggage, and drove back.

"The company also has female employees."

Zhang Xueming got into the car and leaned on the back of the chair, looking very tired.

"That's not the reason."

Lu Zhengyi walked around from the front of the car to the driver's seat and got into the car, "I just think that I, as a husband, should do this." ”

Lying on the back of the chair, Zhang Xueming couldn't help but pout.

"But you're all right, aren't you?"

But soon, she forced a tired look and comforted softly, "Don't care about those malicious comments, if you don't like it, you can stop reading it." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Zhengyi's hand that was about to start the car stopped, and he turned his head blankly.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xueming looked at him puzzled, and her originally comforting tone became hesitant, "You...... Not angry? ”

"Why should I be angry?"

Lu Zhengyi asked puzzled as he started the car.

"You should be an artist in a sense, right? So keen to show the words in the script in the form of a movie. Zhang Xueming asked, "For an artist, shouldn't he feel angry that the works he has worked so hard to create are casually belittled?" ”

"Although you haven't been directing this film for a long time, the degree of sweat and seriousness should not be less, right?"

"In the past, it didn't matter if we weren't famous, but this is the first movie since you won the award and was recognized by the Tang Guo film industry, so the experience is different!"

Lu Zhengyi looked at her helplessly and replied:

"What's there to be angry about? It's just something that happens as a matter of course. ”

"As the saying goes, 'I'm not money, how can I make everyone like it', but in fact, even money may be disliked."

"In that case, what do I have to be angry about, more than angry, I should think about how to deal with it, right?"

In fact, no matter what kind of work it is, there is no way to make it acceptable to everyone.

Even those celebrities and saints who have been famous through the ages, some of their works and words may not be recognized by the world.

"If Journey to the West is put to the present, I probably won't even have the opportunity to publish it, what kind of thing is written", "Lu Xun's works have no beauty, mainly to criticize current affairs, he is third-rate in literature, some of his are disgusting, and the criticism is not to the point", "What is there to see about a hundred years of loneliness, the content and spirit of the current works are much better." It's outdated, it's hard to understand, it's like a history book......

Comments like these appear all the time on the modern web, regardless of the country.

Even those writings are like this, Lu Zhengyi is not arrogant enough to make everyone like his films.

What he has to do is to keep the speeches of these people he doesn't like from forming a trend, and reduce their appearance in the eyes of others.

After all, a person is easily influenced, and there are not many people who can truly see is believing.

These viewers who comment with the emotion of 'dislike', no matter what the purpose is, whether they are sincere or not, once they appear in the eyes of those who have not seen the film, it is easy to influence their judgment.

People who originally planned to buy tickets and go to the scene to watch the movie are likely to stop thinking because of a simple comment.

"yes......"

Zhang Xueming glanced at him with a complicated look.

To be honest, she was at a loss.

When you're not famous, it goes without saying.

But after a person becomes famous, he must have a certain amount of arrogance.

How many people are modest and introverted before becoming famous, but after becoming famous, they are arrogant and don't want to listen to a bad word.

Although Lu Zhengyi has always been calm, he is also an extraordinary person. But in the face of the interest you are passionate about, after making a real fact, but being criticized by some people for some inexplicable reasons, it must be negative emotions, right?

At least, if I have worked hard to make a far more meritorious achievement than my father, the founder of the company, who is now the head of the company, and bring the light and shadow to a higher level, and the people of the company still use some evaluations such as "related households" and "good life", then I will definitely be angry.

Can a person really be so calm in the face of such a thing?

"Forget it."

Zhang Xueming was once again surprised by Lu Zhengyi's temperament, but she didn't think deeply, and instead spoke, "But you actually take the initiative to help the company deal with affairs, and you are quite skilled, when I came out of the conference room just now, I was quite surprised to hear this news." ”

"After all, the promise I gave you at the beginning was that as long as you shoot your work with peace of mind, everything else will be left to me."

"But I didn't expect you to take the initiative to get involved."

And obviously he has never had such a ......

"In fact, the other people in the company can think of the ways I proposed to deal with them."

Lu Zhengyi drove the car onto the main road, "I don't have much experience in company management. ”

"In fact, I only put forward some solutions at the beginning, and a lot of the content that followed was put forward by the employees themselves."

"A lot of things that sound like trouble, but they can actually find solutions. It's just that they prefer to do so by others rather than by themselves, or by themselves if others are responsible. ”

At this point, he paused, "There are very few people who can do the indispensable thing in a team, and a team will never lack people who propose solutions and implement them, but people who can take responsibility." ”

"And I, as your husband, just stepped up at the right time and took responsibility."

In the case of the vice president and above of the light and shadow, the personnel are busy with the external development of the meeting.

As the son-in-law of the Zhang family, even if Lu Zhengyi has no real power, the weight of his words is worthy of the position of some department managers.

As long as he is willing to stand up and bear the consequences of possible failure, then others will naturally not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb and fool around.

Zhang Xueming was silent.

Lu Zhengyi is right, many people are not incapable.

It's just limited to the position, the consequences, the salary...... Under the influence of various aspects, choose to put yourself in a relatively comfortable and stable area.

Don't do things, don't take responsibility, and don't even look at things.

And there is only one way to solve it, and that is that someone is willing to stand up and take responsibility.

That's all.

But there is one more thing to do in order to implement this workaround.

"You seem to be ignoring the issue of decision-making."

In the dim car, Zhang Xueming took a long time before speaking again, "It's not easy for others to come up with solutions, and you are the one who chooses from those solutions." ”

"I've briefly looked at your chat history in the group, and if it were me, I would make the same choice as you."

"For example, let them stay if there are some real-name speakers among the fans of the accident network and have a certain ability to work."

As she spoke, she stared at Lu Zhengyi, "This is a preliminary deployment for the follow-up expansion of overseas employees and the expansion of the company." ”

"You can see that with the current size of the company, if your fame expands again and affects the entire Dongzhou, then the light and shadow may not be able to be your backing well."

"Before, I was still thinking, why did you say that the film was a small fire, so you continued to shoot in Heguo and chase after the victory. And if it's a big fire, you have to go back to China to shoot first, and you have always considered this. ”

said so, but she only realized it when she returned to China in the afternoon, sorted out the meeting papers, and saw the 'dong dong' flashing work group.

It's just a grudge, an attempt, and the current employees of Light and Shadow can't even control the basic data monitoring, not to mention what curses 2, 3, and even other horror movies may be in the future.

Lu Zhengyi's current movies have many audiences from more distant overseas, either black or white.

When the time comes, they really go out of Dongzhou, and in the face of those consortia from the Western entertainment industry, their light and shadow may be at most to help a little bit through their previous connections.

Other than that, they can't do anything.

But in this way, the promise he gave him at the beginning was not fulfilled.

This is the reason why Zhang Xueming has been silent for so long just now, and she doesn't know whether she should open her mouth to make it clear.

"In fact, we can consider bringing in overseas capital."

Zhang Xueming proposed, "Like the Dongbao of Heguo, we can win over more allies." ”

"Besides, didn't we have plans for this? Let light and shadow become behemoths. ”

"With their help, no matter what kind of film you make......"

Before she could finish her sentence, a large hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and took her hand.

The warm warmth passed from the palm of her hand, making Zhang Xueming stop talking.

"If you want to enter their territory and make money, it is inevitable to accept their investment." Lu Zhengyi's gentle voice sounded from inside the car, "But the volume of light and shadow depends on whether the main body of this interest group is them or us." ”

"There are no shortcuts to this, you need to take it step by step. You should approach them in a more aggressive, relaxed manner. ”

"Actually, you understand all these things, Xue Ming, you're just in a hurry."

As he spoke, his palm slid through the gap between his fingers, completely enveloping, "It's me who is walking too fast, making you a little anxious." ”

"But it doesn't matter, I'll stop for a while, and when you come to me with the light and shadow, we'll continue walking forward."

"The relationship between us is that you chose me and I chose you, so I will wait for you."

His voice was soft, as if it were gossip.

And Zhang Xueming, who was originally a little irritable, looked at him in a daze.

From time to time, the faint street lamp shined through the car window and hit him in the face.

Even when he spoke, Lu Zhengyi always obeyed the traffic rules, holding the steering wheel with one hand and staring at the road ahead.

Just looked at the side face, but Zhang Xueming's irritable mood slowly calmed down.

This face, although it seems very vicious to others, has not been too fierce in her eyes since a long time ago, but it makes people feel very safe.

And this time, he, as always, brought himself a sense of security.

So, is that part of the obligation? ’
