Chapter 248: [New Year's Day]
"Huh?"
Sitting at the front of the bus, Lao Zhang stood up and took a look.
"Wei Kang, Ajie, you two have more strength, hold him down."
He casually shouted and sat down again.
"Okay."
Wei Kang and Applejack got up and walked back, and standing in the aisle, Zhou Ziyun, who was already full of panic, couldn't help but step back.
One of them carries a camera all year round to practice the unicorn arm, and the other specializes in pipe tools, and they all have a lot of strength.
"You, what are you going to do!"
Zhou Ziyun shouted hysterically, his eyes scanning around at a loss, trying to find a weapon.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes stopped on Kim Sun-mi who was sitting next to her, she was dressing the mirror in one hand and holding a makeup remover cotton in the other.
"Don't move!"
Zhou Ziyun's blood surged, his voice was a little broken, and he was about to snatch the mirror with his hands.
Wei Kang and Applejack, who were gearing up to walk backwards, slammed and quickened their pace.
And the next moment, Li Xianghu directly hugged Zhou Ziyun, who was going to snatch the mirror from Kim Sun-mi, from behind.
His arms passed through the crunch, and then his palms were crossed around the back of his neck, while his legs pressed down.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiang directly locked the restless Zhou Ziyun and couldn't move.
Wei Kang and Applejack walked over with wide eyes, "Niu, Ah Xiang." β
looked at Zhou Ziyun, who was constantly struggling and his face was flushed, but Li Xiang, who locked him, was not blushing or panting, and he didn't use much strength to look at it.
In front, Ah Yong, who was poking his head out of the back of the seat, silently jumped back to the cushion and lay down again.
"Did you use to be a competitive fighter?" Wei Kang came closer, looked at Zhou Ziyun, who couldn't move, and asked casually, "Although I will do this kind of locking, you seem to be more professional and less laborious." β
Boys often like to play around when they go to school, and like all kinds of locking skills, they know a little bit about it.
But compared to Li Xiang's seemingly professional techniques and strength, if he completes this posture, it is difficult to guarantee that he will compare his strength with Zhou Ziyun, and both sides are flushed and panting.
ββ¦β¦ I learned a few tricks before. β
Li Xiang didn't seem to intend to talk about the past, and after explaining, he didn't speak again.
Wei Kang is not a person without eyes, looking at this tone, he did not ask about the past of others.
"Teacher Zhou, let's stop struggling."
Next to him, Ajie squatted in front of Zhou Ziyun and said in embarrassment, "If it hurts you, you will wake up later, we will not be able to explain." β
"Let go of me!"
Zhou Ziyun didn't listen to half a word.
His whole person looked very anxious, looking left and right at the same time, his whole body seemed to have endless strength, constantly struggling, and even planning to jump up, "Let go of me!" β
There is no way, Li Xiang and the three can only guard him like this.
And sitting in the back row, Huang Yunli and Cai Siqi were already stunned.
Zhou Ziyun has mental illness, which is not a secret in the crew.
But after getting along for a month, they are in front of a very ordinary and ordinary actor senior, without the slightest psychotic madness like on TV.
But just now, they saw each other's illness with their own eyes.
Merely...... Somewhat embarrassed.
There is no imaginary scene where a group of people are frightened by the sick teacher Zhou and retreat, and there is no picture of him breaking out and hurting people.
In the blink of an eye, the person was detained, and the other people in the car were supposed to do whatever they wanted.
Even the three people who were guarding Zhou Ziyun directly put aside the conversation about how to lock people effortlessly, completely ignoring the teacher Zhou who was humming and shouting.
"Didn't get scared, did you?"
Bai Wei stood up and turned his head, looked at the two young actors sitting in the back row, and asked gently.
"It's not scared."
Huang Yunli replied strangely, "After all, as soon as the person stood up, he was held down, and he was ......"
She glanced at the other people in the car, "The atmosphere doesn't seem to be quite right." β
Even the introverted Cai Siqi nodded silently.
It stands to reason that on such a bus, a person suddenly stands up and shouts at the person next to him, no matter what, he should be afraid.
Even if they are captured, the other people in the car should look a little frightened and discuss the matter.
But now......
"Mr. Zhou himself mentioned it before, so everyone is mentally prepared." Bai Wei explained, "Besides, Mr. Zhou was such a serious person when he was working, but now that he is sick and has become like this, everyone is actually a little sad." β
"Regardless of whether Mr. Zhou will remember it afterwards, but let's not discuss it too much now."
"Wait, if he comes to his senses and doesn't mention it, let's not talk about it first."
With these few words, the two people who had a strange expression could understand it.
Especially Huang Yunli, who has had a rivalry with Zhou Ziyun, has a complicated face.
She praised the other party for her good rhythm before, but she wasn't talking about the scene.
Like the long shot of the previous conversation in the rental house, Lu Zhengyi's request is not to split the shot, not to segment, and to pass it all at once.
In this way, the scene in that section can be regarded as a nearly ten-minute small drama in a sense, with a lot of lines and character reactions to memorize and memorize.
Drama actors need to go through rehearsals day after day for them to perform accurately on stage, and the two of them don't have that much time to rehearse and prepare.
So when filming at that time, it was more about the two of them naturally reacting to each other.
It's like playing badminton, table tennis, or even a 1v1 solo online game...... If you're good at the ball but you're playing against a complete layman, it's more of a game of picking up the ball than a competitive contest.
And Zhou Ziyun, who had a hearty contest with himself not long ago, is now squatting in the aisle, being pressed and struggling by three people.
Huang Yunli looked at this scene, biting her lower lip tightly, and the touch in her heart became deeper and deeper.
This is psychosis, a condition that inexplicably appears to destroy a person.
No matter how serious and reliable the patient is when he is awake, once he or she becomes ill, it will be like a different person.
If you think about it, if in your own consciousness, you are obviously back home and taking a shower.
But suddenly, I felt that the hot water seemed to have no touch, let alone temperature.
Then he shook his head, and the whole person came to his senses, and found that he had not gone home, but was standing naked on the road, and the passers-by next to him were all looking at him with strange eyes, and they couldn't stop discussing......
Huang Yunli didn't dare to think about it, she subconsciously stretched out her finger and bit it between her teeth.
The pain came from the fingers, and all this in front of me must be real, right?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, in Zhou Ziyun's room, he woke up from the bed in a daze and saw Lu Zhengyi sitting next to him with his eyes closed.
As a person with many years of experience, he immediately realized something and kept pulling his hair.
For a month, it has been a month without illness.
But why did it happen again tonight, and in front of so many people.
Originally, he thought he could be fine, but now he ......
"Awake?"
The moment Zhou Ziyun opened his eyes, Lu Zhengyi had already noticed that he had woken up and woken up from his light sleep.
Seeing the other party pulling his hair, he was a little puzzled, "What are you doing?" β
Yesterday, as soon as he returned to the hotel, he was pulled into the room by Lao Zhang, and then Zhou Ziyun, who was sick, fainted directly when he saw him.
In order to prevent him from making any drastic moves after waking up, Lu Zhengyi chose to stay in the room and guard.
This is the night.
"So I'm sick again, right?"
Zhou Ziyun asked out loud, and the bloodshot eyes looked through the cracks of his fingers, and his eyes were full of pain.
"Yes."
Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Don't worry, you didn't hurt anyone else." β
Zhou Ziyun didn't speak, and covered his head with his palms again.
"Alright, it's not too early, you should get up and get ready for work." Lu Zhengyi glanced at him, got up from his chair, and stretched, "I also have to go back to take a shower, I haven't been back to my room since I came back last night." β
As soon as he said this, Zhou Ziyun, who was sitting on the bed, raised his head and looked at him in a trance.
"How?"
Lu Zhengyi looked at him and asked with a smile, "You don't think you were sick yesterday, so you don't have to go to work today, right?" β
"This is not good, the big guys of the crew are waiting to finish filming and go home for Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Besides, you've slept all night, you should have slept enough."
Speaking of this, he glanced up and down at Zhou Ziyun, "Although it seems that he has no energy." β
"But this state is very good, and it is very suitable for today's scene."
Zhou Ziyun sat on the bed, listening to these words, and only laughed bitterly for a while, "Director Lu, you are the devil." β
"Teacher Zhou, you are also in your thirties."
Lu Zhengyi walked to the side of the bed and patted him on the shoulder, "Children can ask for leave and don't have to go to school when they are sick, but adults have to insist on going to work when they are sick." β
"What's more, your mental illness doesn't seem to have any effect on your physical condition, I look at you, except for being thinner and weaker, you're actually quite healthy."
"Hurry up, wash up and come to me, let's go down for breakfast together, and then it's time to get ready to work, you are the protagonist in today's scene."
With that, he turned around and left.
Then, Zhou Ziyun watched him leave the room, and stood up helplessly for a while.
I have to say that Lu Zhengyi said these words, and he suddenly didn't find his state.
As usual, every time he came to his senses, he would feel very painful, tormented, and even want to ...... Get out of this world.
But now that the other party said this, he didn't find his state at once.
If you continue to twist and pinch, it seems to be a bit hypocritical.
Outside, Lu Zhengyi stood in the hotel corridor against the wall for a while, and then walked towards the elevator.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It was quiet on the bus to the new filming location.
Zhou Ziyun sat next to Lu Zhengyi, only feeling that the atmosphere was full of embarrassment and silence, as if the big guys were frightened by their own situation yesterday.
The feeling unnerved him.
Silently lowering his head, Zhou Ziyun didn't dare to look at the others.
But he could feel a pair of eyes watching him from all directions, and even whispering.
He heard it.
The squirming voice, although it was not clear what they were talking about, but Zhou Ziyun was sure that they must be talking about what happened yesterday.
Because the scene in the rental house has almost ended filming, they are now ready to move to the next filming location.
And for a long time in the future, Zhou Ziyun was like sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't calm down and memorize the script.
"It's getting harder and harder to go to work this winter."
But just as he was about to arrive at his destination, Lu Zhengyi next to him suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Zhou Ziyun turned his head in a trance, not understanding what he meant.
"Just look at the back, a bunch of people are catching up on sleep in the car." Lu Zhengyi replied, "I don't know if I can be more energetic when I get to the set later, if something goes wrong, it will delay the filming progress." β
Well?
Listening to Lu Zhengyi's words, Zhou Ziyun hesitated and glanced back.
With just a glance, he felt very clearly that the murmuring sounds in his ears had disappeared.
Inside the car, someone was talking.
On such a cold day, there was heating in the car, and the people behind were wearing down jackets as small quilts, making up for sleep.
"You are the protagonist of today's scene."
Before Zhou Ziyun could breathe a sigh of relief, next to him, Lu Zhengyi handed over a script, "You study and study more, don't wait for the next shot, you don't have a good rhythm." β
"Okay."
Zhou Ziyun took the script and looked at it silently.
At this moment, he was able to slowly calm down and read the content.
β¦β¦
Completely different from the room layout of a rental house, the new location was in a building with an expensive rent.
This will be Luo Zhan's home, occupying a large part of the film.
As an expensive psychiatrist, the place where he lives is certainly not bad.
Although the crew can also arrange the room into a high-end building through a certain floor of the rental building, the environment outside the building cannot deceive people.
Lu Zhengyi didn't want to save a little shooting money, so that there would be a goofing situation in the feature film.
He tried his best to arrange all the props and locations needed by the crew.
"Remember, this shooting is special, wait for this shot in Weikang's hand is the 'ghost' you see." β
When he came to the set, Lu Zhengyi once again repeated the details of the shooting, "You have to interpret it in front of this camera, and show the frightened and panicked appearance of a mentally ill person who has just fallen ill under the gaze of this camera." β
"Of course, you have to combine Luo Zhan's setting as a psychiatrist to behave, and you can't go too far at first."
"Compared with ordinary people, psychiatrists will have a higher line of defense."
Zhou Ziyun nodded, "I understand, Director Lu." β
It has been clearly written in the storyboard given before, and he has been preparing for the shooting of this segment.
Lu Zhengyi looked at him, didn't say anything more, and stepped into the room next to him.
The shots seen through the director's monitor are the shots that the audience really sees.
There is a big difference between what you see through your eyes when shooting on set and what you see through a camera, so under normal circumstances, the director's monitor will be placed at some distance from the scene during filming to avoid affecting the judgment.
"Teacher Zhou, it's almost time to put on makeup."
"Brother Zhou, let the trouble go, it's in the way."
"Teacher Zhou, wait a minute, you remember to follow this route to avoid the first few fixed positions being photographed."
And after Lu Zhengyi left, Zhou Ziyun looked at the other people coming and going next to him, looking a little nervous.
Soon, however, his nervousness melted away at the urging of others.
People who are idle and have nothing to do will think about something all day long, and when they are really busy, in addition to the work content in front of them, they will forget any other pressure and troubles.
"Zhou Ziyun's situation looks good."
When he came to the monitoring room, Lao Zhang had already turned on all the monitors, and calibrated the lenses and channels, "If you don't become a director, you can take a doctor's qualification certificate, and you may become a famous psychiatrist." β
"I've heard too much of that."
Lu Zhengyi smiled and sat down next to him, "Xue Ming often said that if you don't go into business as a director, you may become a big boss." β
"Another time I said that if I didn't go to the club as a director, I felt like a big brother."
"It's like if I don't be a director, everything else is at my fingertips."
"Is the big boss and the big brother of the club?"
Zhang Yu also looked Lu Zhengyi up and down pretending to be a model, and nodded very seriously, "Well, I have talent in this area." β
"Almost, but what I told you about it has been considered." Lu Zhengyi waved his hand and pushed this topic away, "According to the current shooting schedule, although it can also catch up with Chinese New Year's Eve, the time is a little tight." β
"If something goes wrong, it may have to be delayed for a few days, and then the Spring Festival will be missed."
"You still take Xiaowei out to experience the experience, I will hand over Cai Siqi's role to you to film, and the time will be more relaxed at that time."
After Cai Siqi was removed from the heroine's role, she got the role of the supporting actress Cher.
This character is Luo Zhan's ex-girlfriend and the reason for his illness.
Xue'er was his girlfriend when she was in school, but because she couldn't accept the result of the breakup, she chose to jump off the building in front of Luo Zhan, which left a great psychological shadow on her.
However, although the plot weight of this character is not small, there are not many scenes, in Lu Zhengyi's arrangement, it appears more in memories, like Luo Zhan's dream, and suddenly a short period of time when he was in school.
After all, he made a horror movie, not a romance movie.
He can incorporate a small number of love elements into the horror film as the driving force of the plot, but he can't let these elements occupy too much proportion of the plot, otherwise, most of them will be evaluated like a night terror.
It's just that for these scenes, he can let Zhang Yu take Bai Wei to shoot alone.
"That kid doesn't know if it's going to work."
Zhang Yu hesitated, "If the shooting is not good at that time, it will actually be a waste of energy and money." β
"Wait, are you going in the wrong direction?"
Lu Zhengyi looked at him strangely, "It must be you, Xiaowei is watching from the side, and occasionally try it." β
"Xiaowei's ability, I definitely can't believe it for the time being, but I still know your old man's skills."
"When the time comes, I will arrange for Li Xiang, Jin Shanmei, and Gao Changyu to follow you over, Liu Mingming, I have to stay, there are not enough people in the field team."
Although Bai Wei also studied for a while.
But so far, he has at most put forward some shooting ideas, and he has not actually directed even once.
How could Lu Zhengyi hand over an important supporting role to Bai Wei to film.
Listening to his answer, Zhang Yu's expression became helpless, "Okay, the newcomers are all handed over to me." β
But he didn't refuse, "Okay, let's try it." β
"When?"
"Tomorrow?"
Although he had been hesitating just now, in fact, Lu Zhengyi could see that this Lao Zhang was still looking forward to it.
In fact, he hasn't filmed for a long time, and after rejoining the crew for filming this time, he is more guiding Bai Wei to work.
As for Lu Zhengyi's side, there is no need for him to make more suggestions and help.
"Tomorrow will certainly not be possible."
He replied with a smile, "You have to borrow a school for the filming location, and this high school school is not as easy to borrow as a university." β
"I've asked Assistant Wang to help get in touch, but it may take a few days."
"When the time comes, we will borrow the venue, and let's arrange the division of labor."
Now that the Xenodimensional space is filmed here, the content has changed a lot from the previous life.
In addition to the plot of the main line, whether it is the way of filming or the lines, Lu Zhengyi has changed in many aspects.
In the final analysis, the main line of this film can be summed up in a few sentences.
Because of the divorce of his parents since he was a child, Zhang Xin suffered from bipolar disorder and often saw hallucinations. After meeting Luo Zhan, her mental illness was slowly cured, but what followed was the recurrence of Luo Zhan's old illness, and the same characteristics of seeing hallucinations appeared......
And if it is explained in one sentence, it is the story of 'you save me, I save you'.
From the plot point of view, it sounds more like a love story, but under the guidance of the director at the time, the content of this film is still biased towards horror films.
However, when Lu Zhengyi watched this movie in his previous life, he was not a child and did not feel too much fear.
But this film undoubtedly left some indelible impressions in the memory of that generation.
But what Lu Zhengyi wants to shoot now is not a horror movie that frightens children.
It's a horror film that can frighten adults, so it is definitely not possible to shoot exactly according to the content of the film, he needs to modify it like the previous films.
Among them, Lu Zhengyi's biggest change is undoubtedly the filming technique.
For a director, storyboarding is like creating another story within a story, and the same script, two directors may make completely different works.
What kind of perspective should the character face, how should the camera go, and the proportion of each character should be shot...... A lot of details are stacked on top of each other, and the direction of a story is completely different.
Just like this different space now, if Lu Zhengyi increases the role of Xue'er, and at the same time adds interactive scenes to the plot of Luo Zhan and Zhang Xin to reduce the proportion of ghosts and hallucinations, then this will be a love-themed movie.
even wrote some summaries for each character, such as Zhang Xin's family relationship, why her parents divorced, her life after the divorce, and how Luo Zhan became a psychiatrist from a traumatized high school student......
Enriching all these contents, this is a simple horror script in another dimension, and he can even make a twenty-four-episode TV series.
Lu Zhengyi couldn't do it before, but now he is a big director, and he can make the same script appear in several different plots.
Of course, it can be done, but it's not possible.
Lu Zhengyi chose the path of horror films, not romance films.
βActionοΌβ
As Bai Wei rang the clapperboard, today's first auction began.
In the monitor, Luo Zhan yawned and walked out of his home, and after passing through a long corridor, he walked up to the sightseeing elevator.
Located in the center of the city, the building is a commercial and residential serviced apartment, and the rent is extremely high, but it allows him to see everything in the center of the city through the glass cover the moment he steps on this elevator.
But suddenly, Luo Zhan, who was lazily looking at the traffic jam on the overpass, took a step back.
He stared blankly at the other rising elevator next to him, staring directly at Wei Kang, who was holding a camera in the elevator.
In fact, it should be said that Luo Zhan was staring at the lens of the camera in his hand.
Through the director's monitor, in addition to following Luo Zhan's fixed camera position, Lu Zhengyi can also see the other party staring at the camera in Wei Kang's hand from another monitor.
'Expressions are OK. β
Lu Zhengyi carefully observed the shooting of several cameras.
In the shot, Luo Zhan shook his head in a trance, as if he felt that he had seen it wrong.
Until the sightseeing elevator comes to the lowest floor, the filming of this section ends.
"It's not bad, according to the rhythm of the paragraph just now, everyone will prepare again."
Lu Zhengyi used the headset to inform the rest of the crew to shoot again.
The first shoot is often a test shot, so that the actor can familiarize himself with the camera position, mobilize his emotions, and also let the photographer get familiar with the route.
But sometimes there will be a situation where after a few serious shots, it turns out that it is actually the first test shot with the best effect.
The people at the shooting scene were restoring the scene, and Zhou Ziyun also came to the monitoring room once to confirm the footage just shot.
Lu Zhengyi didn't give him better advice, as far as the clip just now, the other party's performance was very good.
At the beginning of Luo Zhan's illness, he didn't want to let Xue'er's 'ghosts' appear too much like in his previous life.
Sometimes the unseen horror is the real horror.
Compared with before, Lu Zhengyi likes to add special effects to the plot, and now he is more willing to add special effects where they should appear.
So in this part of the shooting, he replaced the ghost of 'Cher' with a lens.
β¦β¦
"Whoa-la-"
The sound of water dripping on the bathroom floor rang out.
In the shot, Luo occupies a white bath towel around his lower body, wetting his hair under the hot water gushing from the shower head.
Then, he squeezed some of the shampoo next to him with his fingers, rubbed it evenly on his hair and began to rub it until a large amount of foam poured out of his head.
Luo Zhan closed his eyes.
Terror comes from life, and if you want to make a person feel fear, you must start with the simplest details of life.
Lu Zhengyi once tried to think about how to show step by step that Luo Zhan, a psychiatrist with a strong psychological defense line, was attacked by 'ghosts' and gradually eliminated the original idea of not believing in ghosts and gods.
Eventually, he came up with an idea in the shower.
When people close their eyes, their other senses will always expand unconsciously.
Often some very slight movements can make a person who has his eyes closed but is conscious quickly open his eyes and confirm the situation next to him.
And for those who already have a 'ghost in their heart', it is even more difficult to resist the fear brought by this fantasy.
The role of the 'ghost' is still the camera in Wei Kang's hand.
He cautiously held the camera, stood behind Luo Zhan, and controlled the lens.
Lu Zhengyi looked through the camera in the monitor and clearly saw that the foam brought by the shampoo had covered the upper half of Luo Zhan's face.
"Who?"
And as the camera approached, Luo Zhan, who was bending down to wash the foam off his head, shouted violently.
In the footage, there is no other person's voice.
Only the sound of water 'rattling' sounded.
Luo Zhan stood in place, as if he was discerning his surroundings through his sense of hearing.
But unfortunately, when Wei Kang did not move, he could not hear the slightest movement.
This situation of not hearing and seeing anything seemed to make all kinds of fantasies emerge in Luo Zhan's heart.
He struggled in place.
As a psychiatrist, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong with his condition, whether it was the hallucinations he had seen from time to time in recent times, or his current mood was very wrong, but he seemed to have difficulty resisting the effects of fear on his brain.
For a while, Luo Zhan seemed to be crazy in the camera, and kept wiping the foam off his face with his palm.
Then, he forced his eyes, which had become red from the shampoo, and kept searching in the foggy bathroom.
The camera held by Wei Kang clearly recorded this scene, but it never moved.
There is no need for superfluous skills, these scenes are all one-man shows belonging to Zhou Ziyun.
He doesn't have an actor in the rivalry, or in other words, the actor in the rivalry is the camera in Wei Kang's hand.
is like a performance of eating noodles without physical objects, Zhou Ziyun needs to face this camera and pose as a ghost.
Moreover, he can't be too deliberate yet.
needs to show fear and panic little by little as the plot develops.
Without even rinsing off the foam on his hair, Luo Zhan rushed out of the bathroom in a panic, water droplets falling from him, wetting the floor and leaving traces.
Under the gaze of the 'ghost', he went straight to the living room and took several pills from the medicine box and put them in his mouth.
Then, he went straight back to the bathroom and swallowed the pills with the hot water from the shower.
"Whew-"
Luo Zhan's gasping sound entered Lu Zhengyi's headset through the radio.
It took him a while to wipe his face with his hands, and while his eyes were wide and vigilant to look around, he opened his eyes and rinsed the foam off his head.
He would rather let the shampoo-stained water run into his eyes and irritate them red, rather than close his eyes and lose sight of his surroundings.
β¦β¦
"Do you look for inspiration for your life?"
"Thank you very much for your advice!"
"By the way, Director Lu, Happy New Year's Day, and...... Congratulations on your film on the 36th place in the box office list of the Tang Kingdom! β
Time unconsciously came to New Year's Day, and the filming of Xenodimensional Space was slowly coming to an end, and Li Chuanxin's storyboard creation of 'Pen Fairy' also reached a stage.
Although he had already left, the exchange with Lu Zhengyi was almost every two or three days.
Li Chuanxin often expresses his creative thoughts on pen immortals, and asks whether Lu Zhengyi's effect can meet the standard of horror.
And Lu Zhengyi often shares some of his whims with the other party.
However, early this morning, in addition to replying to the message he sent before going to bed, the other party also brought a message.
"Thirty-six?"
Lu Zhengyi didn't think much about it, and he knew that it must be a 'curse.' β
I have on hand, and only this movie has just been released, and it can meet this qualification in terms of results.
Lu Zhengyi casually replied to Li Chuanxin with a 'Happy New Year's Day' emoji.
Then, he quickly returned to the interface and clicked on the top chat box.
However, to Lu Zhengyi's surprise, there was no extra news in the chat box.
Except for the words 'good night' sent out before going to bed last night, there was not a single new message.
This surprised Lu Zhengyi, but soon he seemed to remember something, and replied to her with a 'good morning', and then opened the internal communication software of Light and Shadow.
": 1.6 billion, 1.6 billion, this should be the biggest project since the establishment of our company, right?"
": Is there no news from Mr. Zhang?"
": The data report on Heguo's side also came out, and the final box office was 8.7 billion yuan, although it did not appear on Heguo's movie list, but as a horror film, this data is quite high, I think a wave of promotion can be arranged."
": The market on our side has been suppressed for too long, and this data is actually a bit inflated. Now that we are promoting, if we don't have this data next time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face and make people say that we have regressed. β
": 8.7 billion yuan, which is equivalent to more than 400 million yuan in Tang Yuan, and the ticket price of a movie ticket is about 6.6 million people who have mobilized more than 6.6 million Chinese people to watch movies in theaters, accounting for about 5.28% of the total population.
": Speaking of which, hasn't Mr. Zhang replied to the message yet? The docking person of Weihai Music has been sending us a message today, let's hurry up and arrange for the signing, I don't know if I should reply, after all, it was that price before, and the current price is not necessarily. β
": Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to be reading the news at night recently, otherwise call and ask?"
[Lu Zhengyi: There is no need to call and ask, Mr. Zhang has not been feeling well recently and needs to rest more. The docking of the project of Weihai Music, they want to arrange the signing of the contract as soon as possible, they don't have to think about raising the price, they are all old acquaintances, and they have some affection. γ
In the management group, which can only be entered by the supervisor level and above, a group of people are in full swing of discussion.
But after all, it is a group of companies, and what can be seen is also good words.
And after Lu Zhengyi appeared and replied to a sentence, the dialog box that was originally scrolling quickly stalled for a few seconds.
After a while, the words 'Lu Daohao' scrolled quickly on the chat box.
[Zhang Xueming: The contract signing time in Weihai is scheduled for this Friday, and I want to rest on Saturday. γ
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhengyi saw a message in a column of 'Lu Daohao'.
He glanced at the time before switching to the chat app.
"The first thing you saw when you woke up was to look at the company's group first, and then look at my news?"
Lu Zhengyi struck first.
"Next time, definitely." Zhang Xueming admitted her mistake directly, and then quickly replied, "The results of Heguo's side are much better than expected, Vice President Lin proposes to arrange the filming of the next film as soon as possible, I want to ask your opinion." β
Even at the beginning, Lin Mozhi and his wife were not optimistic about their entry into the overseas market.
But now that the results are out, she didn't boast about anything, but talked about the next step directly according to the other party's intentions.
"Curse 2 is definitely going to be filmed."
Lu Zhengyi thought for a moment, "But after all, I still have a Xenodimensional Space in my hand now, so this plan must be next year." β
Zhang Xueming was quiet for a while before replying.
"Are you sure? Now this film. β
