Chapter 268: [Curse 2]
Zhang Yuming: My God, it's only been a few days, and Director Lu has a lot more fans than me as an actor.
Yu Li: Isn't this normal? Director Lu's popularity was already very high, but it was more behind the scenes before, so no one paid attention to it.
Zhang Yuming: Although, I feel that Director Lu now has a fight with those high-traffic stars.
Zhang Yu: It's really abnormal, I haven't heard of a director with such a high number of fans, oh, this is to exclude those who have changed from actors in front of the screen to become directors behind the scenes, their popularity is already high.
Chang Zhengwei: But is this a good thing? Some time ago, Lu Daoke was scolded miserably, and now there are occasionally some yin and yang weird comments under Weibo.
Zhang Yu: Who told him to say that? What he himself does not say, no one will know.
Yu Wenxiu: Director Lu shouldn't care about this, I also watched the live broadcast, and I was as calm as ever.
Bai Wei: Indeed, with Director Lu's temperament, what others say, how can he care. I feel that even if these people say those words to Director Lu not across the Internet, but face to face, he can listen to them with a smile and then blow them up.
Huang Yunli: I always feel that in the eyes of my predecessors, Director Lu is already a god.
Yu Wenxiu: @黄芸莉我听说你是潮城人, I suggest that you just pay homage to Director Lu every month in the future.
Lu Zhengyi: @张煜@白伟你们俩开会开一半说出去倒杯茶, the upside-down people are gone?
Zhang Xueming: @卢正义伱在公司吗? I'll go over it.
……
A live broadcast made many people 'understand' Lu Zhengyi a little.
In the past, the person presented in front of the audience was more of an image of being 'burly', 'fierce', and 'able to scare a group of people out of the way', and with the label of work and occupation, he may also have the impression of 'genius director' and 'young fame'.
A very fierce, but talented and inappropriate director of the underworld, this is Lu Zhengyi in the hearts of the audience.
A virtual image that is constructed from their hearts from the movies and Internet information that they have learned.
And now, they have come into contact with a little bit of the real Lu Zhengyi.
The god that almost everyone in the plum civet crew feels like a 'god', and as long as he stays around, he will feel at ease.
Although there is not much content that the audience can see from the live broadcast alone, it is just a little bit, but they can clearly see that emotional stability.
Then......
Lu Zhengyi went from behind the scenes to the front of the scenes.
": Director Lu's muscles are really disgusting, if only they could grow on me."
I can't even imagine how good his waist is."
": Suck and suck."
": I used to think that Director Lu was very fierce, but after watching the live broadcast, I suddenly felt that Director Lu felt safe and her boyfriend was full of strength."
": It would be nice if I had such a boyfriend, with such a good figure, I should be very self-disciplined in life, and I often exercise, and I faced so many verbally abusive viewers during the live broadcast, and my personality was so stable, although I looked a little fierce, but I was actually not bad, and I was rich and a director, alas...... My girlfriend next to me suddenly didn't smell good. ”
……
Although this is a result that Lu Zhengyi did not expect, including Lu Zhengyi himself, in terms of direction, there is no bad impact for the time being, but it has attracted a lot of greedy fans to him.
Moreover, both men and women.
Although as a director, it's kind of a half-behind-the-scenes career, it's strange to have so many fans.
After all, even if it is Lu Yiyong and Zhang Changmou, the two elders, their social account followers are only one million.
For directors who are not professional actors or idols, but full-time directors, people pay more attention to the works, and few people will understand the personal situation.
But for now, this point does not cause any trouble for Lu Zhengyi.
It's just the number of comments, likes, retweets, and private messages of various social accounts every day...... It's a lot.
'Papapa' crimson high heels landed on the floor of the Plum Tanuki studio, the voice was extremely clear, Zhang Xueming was holding a tablet, as the 'vice president of the company next door', she was very skilled in breaking into other people's companies.
And under the gaze of others in the operations and broker office area, she strode to the conference room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door directly.
"Weibo has more than 10 million followers, and you can already be regarded as a popular idol."
Zhang Xueming looked at the three people in the conference room, and reluctantly put down the documents in her hand, "This is the list you want, they are all actors who are not well-known in Heguo, but they are relatively good in ability, and there are several brokerage contracts that are about to expire, if you pick them, maybe we can try to develop some foreign artists." ”
"Good work."
Lu Zhengyi took it with a smile, and handed one of the copies to Zhang Yu and Bai Wei on the other side, "Let's see which people are more in line with our film." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xueming, who was sitting on the other side of the conference table, "In addition to these actors from the country, can you please help me try to contact an actor from the Southern Dynasty?" ”
"Her name is An Xiaozhou, a very famous actress in the Southern Dynasty, and the company to which she belongs, BH, is a well-known actor agency in the Southern Dynasty."
"Have you heard of this actor?"
"I'm sorry, I don't pay much attention to the circle of the Southern Dynasty." Zhang Xueming's expression was a little stunned at first, and then she shook her head, "But I can understand now." ”
She took out her mobile phone and searched, "But you want to invite the actors of Nan Chaoguo, this is ...... In order to grudge the influence of 2 in the Southern Dynasties? ”
"But if the same film appears in three languages, will it be a little too messy?"
"I feel like the audience is going to be very dramatic."
When she asked, she had already searched for relevant artists and learned about relevant information.
When it comes to entertainment agencies in the Southern Dynasties, if you pay attention to people in related circles, the first thing that comes to mind is SM, JYP, and YG...... These are some of the more commonly heard companies.
However, the operation direction of these companies is more biased towards idol groups, such as Shaoshi, TVXQ, EXO...... and so on.
After all, in this country, there are only idols that have a deep influence on people outside the world, except for kimchi.
In addition to such companies that mainly run idol groups, there are also some companies that prefer actors or singers who are one-man SOLOs.
BH is a large-scale actor agency in the Southern Dynasties, although the volume is not as good as those companies that mainly operate idol groups, but in terms of the ability and reputation of its artists, it is also relatively secure, and the actors signed in it include An Xiaozhou, An Jiaren, Han Gaoyin, Liu Baoying......
These faces can often be seen in film and television dramas and movies of the Southern Dynasties.
As a cooperative company of Light and Shadow Group in the Southern Dynasties, it is indeed qualified.
As soon as Lu Zhengyi mentioned the names of Nan Chaoguo and An Xiaozhou, Zhang Xueming followed his business ideas and began to consider cooperation.
BH's status in the Southern Dynasties is of course inferior to Hebao's status in Heguo, but as a big entertainment country with entertainment economy as the main body, this is also understandable.
After all, it's too competitive.
"Strictly speaking, it's still two languages."
Lu Zhengyi explained, "Curse 1 is because of the addition of Teacher Chen Junsheng, Tang language will appear. ”
"In the second part, the only victims in the plot are the Heguo, so adding another Southern Dynasty Chinese is just two languages."
"I feel that with our current size and fame, after the invitation is issued, as long as there is a vacancy in An Xiaozhou's itinerary, BH Company will most likely not refuse this interpretation cooperation."
"In that case, I'll get in touch." Zhang Xueming nodded, "But don't we need to prepare a few more candidates?" If An Xiaozhou fails to pass the audition, it will be a little troublesome to find the right candidate at that time, so it is better to call over for an audition at one time. ”
According to Lu Zhengyi's seriousness about drama.
If An Xiaozhou's interpretation does not fit the role, even if he has a relationship with the market of the Southern Dynasties, he will not hesitate to refuse.
As for whether the entertainment market of the Southern Dynasties will refuse their involvement, Zhang Xueming is not worried.
The market situation in the Southern Dynasties has always been a flat attitude.
No matter which country's foreign funds are sufficient, they have always refused to come, so from time to time there will be news that foreign capital will be withdrawn after a raid, and banks will declare bankruptcy.
However, for various reasons, even if their rulers knew about this situation, they could not solve it.
Moreover, there are often amateurs on the Tang side who go to the Southern Dynasty for business training, and then join the idol group there to debut.
They are not resistant to this kind of behavior, because they are well aware that the benefits of overseas markets are significantly higher than those brought by the domestic market.
Arranging a Tang Guo person in an idol group will attract the attention of many Tang Guo audiences, and then expand the income.
Now Lu Zhengyi's plan is just the other way around.
In a Japanese-style horror film funded by the Tang Kingdom, an actor from the Southern Dynasties was added, thus winning the support of the people of the Southern Dynasties.
"Mr. Zhang, you may not know what our crew's situation is for the next play." Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Xueming who proposed it with a smile, "We are casting without a script, and then we will write the script." ”
“…… Yes? ”
Zhang Xueming listened, a little dazed.
Then, she looked at Lu Zhengyi again.
"That's right, the world background of the curse has been explained in the first part." Lu Zhengyi explained, "The framework has been put in place, because of a family accident, the Gacozi family has become a ghost, and they exist in that house like earthbound spirits, killing every occupant who enters the house and anyone who comes into contact with it. ”
"And what we have to do now is to first select actors who are more in line with the depressing atmosphere in terms of image, and then set the characters, plots and death methods according to each invited actor."
"An Xiaozhou, an actor, is willing to play ugly when playing a role, and the image of one film is also quite gloomy, so after watching it, I can be regarded as having a fixed set of her, and I already have a rough outline in my mind about the characters and how to die."
Three people present: ......
Whether it was Zhang Yu, Bai Wei, or Zhang Xueming, listening to Lu Zhengyi's serious explanation, his face looked a little complicated.
"Well, it's good, even the way to her death has been figured out."
Zhang Xueming nodded, "But if this arrangement continues, will this series of curses be too boring." ”
Homogenization of the appearance of the character, and then death.
Even if the crew creates a thriller atmosphere well, the audience will definitely get tired of watching such repeated content.
Hearing her mention this, Lu Zhengyi looked at Zhang Yu in the distance, smiled at each other, and replied:
"We were talking about this before you came."
"So when this one was filmed, I planned to end the curse and didn't plan to continue filming."
"Although there are a lot of movies that eat the old book, I feel ...... Two films can end the story I want to shoot, and there is no need to make a few more. ”
The way the gaching spread is not just the people who enter the house.
Even if you come into contact with someone who has entered the house, you will be tainted with resentment, and you will be targeted by her.
So with her speed of spreading, it is completely possible for the two works to complete the achievement of no survivors.
If he continued to shoot more, Lu Zhengyi felt that this was something that would affect his reputation.
Not only movies, but also many entertainment works have this shackle, the second and third parts...... failed to reach the shock and impact on fans when the first part was made, so that word of mouth declined, affecting the creative team itself.
Knowing how to stop in moderation is also a quality that a qualified creative team should have, and creating content of poor quality will also break the original beauty in the hearts of fans.
"Are there only two......
Although the question was raised by Zhang Xueming, she felt a little regretful when she heard that this part was the end.
She actually wanted to solve this boring problem over and over again, and then run a series like the Cursed Universe.
If such a world view can really be created, it will be the cornerstone of the development of Light and Shadow Group, which can bring a steady stream of wealth.
Of course, in terms of film matters, she will not take the initiative to meddle according to the agreement.
So I just thought about it, and didn't say what was in my heart.
"Anyway, this IP is in our hands."
Lu Zhengyi looked at her lost appearance and reminded, "We shoot it ourselves, which may affect our reputation." ”
"But we can authorize the copyright to the film and television company on the Heguo side to shoot, which is a win-win situation."
"They feel that with this IP, they can make good derivative works, and we make a profit from it, as for the result of their adaptation, it will not affect us."
If it is filmed well, it can be regarded as a brick and brick to the IP of curse.
Anyway, no matter how good they are, their works are derived from the original film of Curse, and they can't avoid this layer.
And if the filming is not good, then the audience will only scold them for the bad adaptation.
Even in comparison between the two, Lu Zhengyi's original film may usher in new popularity.
After all, new remakes and adaptations are not good, and the audience will naturally think of the original film.
