"I think it's time to suspend the meeting, and let's calm down with each other about the movie being taken off the shelves."

"I want everyone to understand one thing, we are all victims."

"Now is not the time to hold accountable, who is responsible, and who should be compensated. What we should be thinking about is how to solve the problem, and that's the main reason why we started this meeting, who is the company that really has the ability and connections to handle this well, and I think who's going to be the biggest beneficiary of this film. ”

"The capable come first, whether it is our Tang Kingdom, or you and the country, I believe this is a common and often heard truth."

"I propose that if anyone can solve this farce, they will have a share of our investment in this film of 7%, as an investment fund, which is not a small amount in itself, and if the film can be restored, this 7% of the revenue will be huge."

"For this matter, you can think about it after the meeting is suspended."

Even after Lu Zhengyi entered the office, Zhang Xueming only glanced at it casually.

Then, she went on to elaborate on her thoughts.

At the same time, the rapid breathing of others clearly reached Lu Zhengyi's ears through the small speaker next to the monitor.

Zhang Xueming pulled out the headset.

Lu Zhengyi silently walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.

"Is this a VAM agreement?"

Soon, someone replied in a vague Tang language, and the tone was quite calm.

"Yes."

Zhang Xueming said softly, "But if no one can do it, then this responsibility needs to be borne by us together, and it can be regarded as a draw." ”

"Of course, if there is no winner, it will be a draw."

In the video conference, another voice sounded, "I need to negotiate with the rest of the company, and if we can, we are willing to put up a 10% share as a bet." ”

However, compared with the previous person, the Tang language of this voice is obviously much more proficient.

Although they all said that they had to be decided at a meeting within the company, they all looked a little impatient.

Obviously, this VAM agreement is unfair.

Curse 2 was removed from the shelves in Heguo, and they are all local companies in Heguo, and the connections they have in their hands have a greater advantage than a foreign group in Light and Shadow.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and this gambling agreement, from the very beginning, light and shadow have been excluded from the gladiatorial arena.

Originally, they just hoped to take the opportunity of this movie to take the opportunity to put the responsibility on the light and shadow and strive for greater benefits for the company they are in.

Now that the other party has made such a request, they have no reason to refuse.

Soon, the meeting was suspended.

This project is not small, and the companies involved are from two different countries, so naturally it will not be an easy decision for one person to give up the proportion of investment.

Even on the light and shadow side, Zhang Xueming only gave such a plan after temporarily consulting and confirming with several directors.

"Why are you back, is the situation over there bad?"

And after the video conference was interrupted with a 'beep', Zhang Xueming quickly stood up, walked to the sofa in a few steps, and asked anxiously how happy she was after learning about Heguo's situation on the day of the premiere, and how irritable she is now.

Of course, her true emotions will only be shown in front of her family.

She wasn't like that when she was in the meeting just now, when she was talking to other people.

"Sort of, there's no way to solve this matter." Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "It involves some things that have nothing to do with the movie, and it is already a forbidden film to curse this film in Heguo." ”

"Forbidden films?"

Zhang Xueming was a little puzzled, "Yes...... Something to do with ghosts? ”

"Hmm."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "If it's other aspects, I can find a way to solve it, but when it comes to ghosts, then there is no way, according to the Dao Chief, this is a decision based on the national conditions over there, and it is not so easy to change." ”

"No matter what kind of relationship it is, no matter how powerful the characters you know, you can't solve it, right?"

Zhang Xueming hesitated and confirmed again, "Since it is related to the national conditions of the country, even people who know the Kyoto Prefecture, or even the Prime Minister's Office, can't solve it, right?" ”

"Yes."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "No matter what kind of relationship it is, this decision of theirs will not be changed, this is what the Dao Chief told me." ”

“…… Well, albeit with some pity. ”

Zhang Xueming was a little disappointed, "Then we can only bear this loss together." ”

"With this agreement, they can't put that responsibility on us anymore." Lu Zhengyi looked at her demeanor, stretched out his palm to take her hand, and shook it gently towards himself, "And I still say that, the movie was taken off the shelves because the plot was too thrilling, which is not a bad thing for horror movies." ”

Feeling the weak force in his hand, Zhang Xueming sat on his lap.

"I still hope it can be solved, even if it ......"

She whispered, "It's better to lose the gambling agreement than to empty it." ”

It has only been a few days since the curse of the country 2 was released, and the investment and return are not proportional at all.

With the current situation, the relationship in the entertainment industry seems to have no effect.

Those companies that can cooperate with light and shadow are, after all, local industries, and more or less still have contact with people in other industries and fields.

Such connections are not easy to use.

Light and Shadow put forward the strategy of gambling agreement, completely in order to force them to pay the greatest network resources under this competitive relationship, and strive to pull the movie back from the state of being taken off the shelves.

But with Lu Zhengyi's current statement, this matter seems irreparable.

"You worked so hard for months for this movie, and now it's only been released for a few days and it's been taken off the shelves."

Zhang Xueming sat on his left thigh and rested her head on his shoulder, "Although the original curse 1 was also taken off the shelves in China, there was still a deleted version left, but now it is better to be with the country, and the source of the film is directly banned." ”

"If this is more serious, they won't give us a review in the next play, so what will we do then?"

"Are we going to give up the hard-won market share on the Heguo side?"

The latter is what she is more worried about.

Although as of now, Heguo seems to have only removed the source of the film, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have an impression of Lu Zhengyi, the director, and the Mei Tanuki crew, and then pulled into the blacklist.

In the future, it doesn't matter what they make.

It's good when it's filmed, but the review step is not given, and they don't seem to have a way on their side.

From the censorship level, this is the most serious punishment for a director.

"Our investment in this film is not only the market of Heguo."

Lu Zhengyi took her into his arms, rubbed her hands, and comforted her softly, "Isn't there still a country, a Southern Dynasty country, and an elephant country...... market, maybe, Heguo has taken this movie off the shelves, and maybe it can also increase the popularity of our theaters in other regions. ”

"If our overseas popularity can be accumulated, when the time comes, it will not be our films that will run after others, but fans who will run after our films."

"Rest assured, as long as the quality of the work is good enough, there will be many choices on the road ahead."

It's like those big anchors in the live broadcast platform.

When a person's popularity accumulates to a certain level, it is no longer the platform that achieves the individual, but the feat of being able to achieve the individual achievement platform.

Some people watch live broadcasts just to watch such an anchor.

If he leaves this platform and jumps to other live broadcast companies, the audience will also leave and continue watching on another platform.

"So far, in fact, our development path is smooth."

Lu Zhengyi continued, "Although Cursed 2 has been taken off the shelves, the results of its premiere in the past few days are obvious to all. ”

"I think that as long as we continue step by step, one day, even if any overseas country no longer welcomes our crew, those fans and audiences will come to China across the mountains and seas, just for our films."

"It's like some foodie is running around the world just for that bite of 'authentic' food."

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

For example, when some foreign films do not have plans to be introduced, domestic audiences will also go abroad in order to watch them in cinemas.

Lu Zhengyi was still a little incomprehensible before, thinking that people might be watching a movie by the way when they were traveling.

But as the plan to hit the overseas market slowly progressed, he began to understand this kind of thing a little.

It's just pure love.

If the financial conditions allow, there is nothing wrong with doing what you like.

And Zhang Xueming, who was still a little melancholy, was amused all of a sudden, and burst out laughing, "You cake...... It's a bit big. ”

If you really want to be able to do this, you have to be famous.

At least there must be a world-recognized award for best director.

It's not enough to have this honor, it has to be recognized.

As of now, it seems that no director in Tang Guo has been able to do this in a real sense.

Even the directors of Lu Yiyong and Zhang Changmou's generation have not done it.

"We're still young, this bite of bread, we can swallow it."

Listening to the relaxation in her tone, Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile, "I'm less than thirty, what about you, in your early thirties, we still have time." ”

“…… There is no need to emphasize age. Zhang Xueming took her head off his shoulders, sat up straight on his lap, stretched out two palms to hold his face, and replied dissatisfiedly, "I know I'm older than you, in terms of the age of the ID card." ”

This sentence is very interesting, on the age of the ID card.

Lu Zhengyi didn't ask much, "You're starting to care about this." ”

If it had been before, he had said what he had just said.

She would probably calmly reply, 'Got it,' and then hastily pass it over.

"I've always cared about it, okay." Zhang Xueming changed the hand she was holding to a pinch, pulling both of his cheeks, "It's just that someone has been showing a calm and calm look, I just don't want to lose to you at that time." ”

In the process of negotiation, each other's emotions and demeanor can be used as the content of the competition.

"Aren't you afraid of losing now?"

Lu Zhengyi raised an eyebrow.

"It's all my husband, and if you lose, you lose." Zhang Xueming replied casually, "Okay, you're right, since the matter is irreparable, it doesn't matter if it's so low, let's think about what to do later." ”

"Perhaps, we should take advantage of this opportunity to develop the markets of other countries."

"That's right, the fact that Curse 2 was removed from the shelves by Heguo because it was too terrifying is used as propaganda material to publicize it in a big way, and you have to quickly turn this bad thing into a good thing and spread it gloriously."

As she spoke, she stood up and looked full of energy.

However, Zhang Xueming still has some regrets in her heart.

Whenever, you can lose to me once.

……

": Ask for resources! Ask for resources! ”

":wwwwww For the first time, I am glad that the location of studying abroad was chosen in the Southern Dynasties, yes, the curse here has not been taken off the shelves~ (But the canteen here is really hard to eat, it is not recommended to study here, it is better to stay in China than to come here!) ）”

": I was thinking about it, but when I saw that the heat was so high, I couldn't help but bring up the itinerary of the tour, and I couldn't see it in China, so I went to Tang Guo to see it!"

": Hey, I don't have the money to go to other countries, so I can only ask for resources."

": The resources on the Internet are so vague, my God, why would you take a horror movie off the shelves because the content is too terrifying, don't you think this decision is ridiculous?"

": Grapevine, it seems that some people think An Xiaozhou is too disgusting, so they reported the film."

On the Internet, there are all kinds of news about Cursed 2.

There are people who ask for resources, and there are also some people who have already seen it gloating, and there are even spoiler stickers, or directly in the form of words, explaining the plot.

Just as the uncut version of Curse 1 was removed from the shelves in China, it aroused people's curiosity and bought tickets to watch the movie.

Curse 2 is that the entire source of the film has been removed from the shelves at the request of Heguo, and for a horror film, this is a complete plus.

People who are able to afford to travel directly choose to watch a movie when they go out.

And those who are in a worse economic situation will also send out all kinds of resource posts on the Internet.

But the film is still in the release stage, and even if it is a pirated resource, it is basically the worst category - on-site piracy.

When someone watches a movie, they use their mobile phone or other photographic equipment to record directly on the screen.

And whether it is the effect of the picture or the sound effect, it is extremely poor.

Even because it was a handheld shooting by a photographer, the picture kept shaking.

But the more annoyed they looked, the more they hated the person who made the decision.

[ridiculous], [stupid], [pathetic], [weak]...... These words are pasted by them on the department that makes the decision.

In addition to this, there is all sorts of gossip.

For example, the black fans who were dissatisfied with An Xiaozhou reported the film, the audience who was dissatisfied with the ending of the film that vaguely hinted at the end of the country and the destruction of the country reported the film, and the horror film director on the side of the country was jealous of Lu Zhengyi's achievements...... All sorts of reasons.

While they quarreled, they also made the name of the movie Curse 2 frequently appear on the hot search topics on the Internet in several countries in Dongzhou.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and this is probably the case.
