Southern Dynasties,

A coffee shop was packed with people.

or students in school uniforms, doing all kinds of test papers;

or in a suit and leather shoes, with a notebook typing;

There are also intern employees standing at the counter, wearing badges, taking a dozen coffees from the clerks, presumably called down to run errands;

Everyone looked busy.

"That's ridiculous, isn't it?"

But when you look closely, most people are not as busy as they look.

Although there are all kinds of test papers, syllabuses, test materials, and review books on the table...... But more than that, it's all chatting, drinking coffee, and eating pastries with people in the same company.

"And the country? Something. ”

At the next table were three high school girls in school uniforms, and among them, the beautiful, idol-like girl stirred the cup with a small spoon and asked lazily, "When will you pay attention to international news?" ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the others in the coffee shop from time to time, watching them dodge away from her gaze.

She enjoys the feeling of being noticed.

"International Entertainment News, Entertainment!"

Another long-haired girl next to her swiped the social platform with her mobile phone, "Curse you know, didn't the second part be released recently, but Heguo took the work off the shelves with 'too thrilling content'." ”

"Really? Then this is not for nothing to help others do publicity. ”

The good-looking girl continued to stir the cup, and then, withdrawing her gaze from the other people in the store, "The person who made this decision is mentally retarded, right? ”

"It seems like this, anyway, the discussion is quite high."

Another girl with black-rimmed glasses was also holding her phone, "I was at school in the morning and I heard people talking about this film. ”

"Originally, not so many people knew, but now it's okay, this film is off the shelves, and people know about it."

"I was going to check it out today, but I couldn't buy a ticket."

How strange and eccentric is the expression on the face of a good-looking girl, and replied:

"A horror film is listed as a banned film by the Chinese side, and the inflow of film sources is directly prohibited, which is not equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States directly announcing that 'Curse 2 is a horror film worthy of its name'."

"Not to mention those who don't usually watch movies, now even I, who often follow the film and television industry, are beginning to be interested."

"What is the purpose of watching horror movies, isn't it just to scare yourself, as soon as the label 'banned films banned by the country' is pasted, let's find a time to watch it, and I'll see when there are tickets."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but take out her phone.

"Hey, you actually took out your phone too."

The girl with black-rimmed glasses looked at her unexpectedly, and the three of them often went out together as friends.

Outside, her friend barely plays with her phone.

In her words, 'It's better to stay at home if you're out playing and you're staring at your phone.' ’

It seems that he really cares.

"But ......"

But soon, she came up with another idea, "You say, could this be a script?" ”

"After all, even the things that we can figure out, those who make decisions, are all screened out of so many elite talents by Heguo, and there is no reason why they should not be clear."

"Isn't that going to ...... Is it the crew of the curse, or what kind of cooperation has the investor reached with the country? ”

The other two were stunned.

And these three girls are not the only people who have such speculations.

When the country officially banned the continued release of Curse 2 and listed its source as a banned film, there were many people who couldn't understand it.

Among them, there are conspiracy theories such as 'deliberate', 'script', 'marketing ......', and in fact, this is not uncommon in this day and age.

Many events that have caused extreme heat on the Internet have more or less a bit of script meaning behind them, as if some female anchors 'accidentally' photographed a lewd man next to them taking off their pants during the outdoor live broadcast.

They even called the police for this incident.

The popularity once rushed to the highest level of the platform and gained great social attention.

Countless people abused this lewd man, issued responsibilities, and demanded severe punishment.

And more people sympathize with this female anchor, comfort, like, and give gifts......

But in the end, the police confirmed that this was a filming team, the two sides knew each other in advance, and everything was carried out according to the set script, including the call to the police, all to make this 'story' more real.

As long as the parties request to be private after the fact, there will basically not be much loss in a civil case like this, let alone a case record.

But they can use this 'story' to win more traffic.

It's just that they didn't expect that the police's ability was far stronger than in this plan, not only to verify that they knew each other before the incident, but also to find out the facts of the crime they set up.

A small film and television team dares to set up such a bureau for the sake of traffic.

Not to mention, this is a film project from two countries and several large groups.

Of course, everything about all this is just casual speculation by netizens, and there is no evidence.

It's good that people from the whole country and many elite talents are screened out to make decisions about such things, so it doesn't mean that it's really because it's 'too scary', so they take other people's films off the shelves, right?

And it's still a horror movie, it can't be.

Such a decision will only make people more enthusiastic to look for this film, just to see what kind of film can be defined as a 'banned film'.

But what happened next, slowly starting to 'clarify', was not a deliberate marketing exercise.

The pictures that were forbidden to be loaded were posted on the Internet by netizens and shared on the Twitter platform, and attracted huge attention.

Or the video was taken down, or the comments were deleted, or even the source of the pirated website was directly blocked......

And the country with practical actions to prove that for the blockade of Grudge 2, even Grudge 1 was implicated and disappeared directly from the network of Heguo.

As long as it is a network of links and countries, they will not receive any discussion on topics related to 'resentment'.

On the hot search lists of various platforms, there are no more relevant entries, let alone videos and discussion posts.

In just a few days, the 'curse' was erased from the Internet, except in the form of verbal conversations between people.

Unless, through special means, circumvent the blocking of relevant information in the country.

……

"It's all for people's safety."

and country,

On the roof of a tall building,

A few men in robes, whose faces were completely wrapped in white cloth, were standing on the edges, blowing the cold autumn breeze with no fear on their faces.

Even at this height, even the people who came and went in the streets were black spots, but they stood on the edge, their feet as if they were on the ground.

"Just one movie has increased the frequency of abnormal events in China several times, and the number of victims has reached more than 100." One of them said coldly, his voice hoarse, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women, only that he might be a very old person, "There are fewer and fewer people in China who can deal with these things, and now because of a movie, there are more and more people who violate taboos everywhere." ”

"The more people those things kill, the stronger they will only be."

"We can't let this kind of thing go on anymore, in addition to blocking the movie, I think the entire crew headed by Lu Zhengyi should also be restricted, and they can't be allowed to continue making movies and releasing movies with us."

Historically, Wakuni has also been glorious, and shrine maidens, onmyoji, and warrior monks have been ...... Numerous.

However, as the times change, fewer and fewer people can inherit these skills.

If with the release of the movie, the frequency of abnormal events in China increases, and all kinds of demons and ghosts become more and more powerful, then their side will be out of control.

The sprouts must be extinguished before they happen!

"Limitations are inevitable, but there's more to my worries than that."

Soon, another man in a robe picked up, "Lu Zhengyi is not an ordinary person, according to their name, he is a cultivator. ”

"You say, could this be a deliberate temptation of Tang Guo to us."

"Do you remember the incident before, when Muto Weijiro put a curse on Chen Junsheng?"

His voice was equally indistinguishable from male and female.

They condescendingly looked at Tokyo below, discussing recent events.

"You're saying that they deliberately sent Lu Zhengyi to our side to make this type of movie, to spread the relevant information to people, and to make us confused?"

Someone else continued, "There is such a possibility, and it is not a small possibility, at the beginning, Muto Weijiro made a good idea to test the Tang Kingdom, and now that he is dead, he has left us with a mess." ”

"No matter what, we have to be prepared."

The robed man who spoke out at the beginning turned around and returned to the rooftop, "The situation must not be allowed to get out of control, as for the curse, as long as this topic is blocked from the Internet, think about it quickly, time will make this topic slowly fade from people's mouths." ”

As he spoke, his tone was a little unbelievable.

Before this happened, until the victims' information was transmitted, they had never imagined that such a thing would happen.

A movie.

It's just a horror movie, and it's so influential.

Perhaps, for the category of horror films, they should also have some restrictions in China.

……

"You said you, making a movie can make this kind of big news."

"With the attitude of Heguo, I feel that your crew should be blocked."

"And in the middle of the night, the people in charge of diplomacy on the Wakuni side passed on some of the events that happened in their country to us, and then they kept knocking on the attitude of our side, seeming to ...... It's a suspicion that we did this on purpose. ”

Early in the morning, before six o'clock arrived, and the sun had not risen, Lu Zhengyi was woken up by a phone call.

"Shh......h

Lu Zhengyi held his mobile phone in one hand and pinched the quilt in the other hand to open a corner.

Then, at lightning speed, he jumped out of the bed and landed on the ground.

At the same time, the quilt was covered again.

There wasn't a sound in the whole process, and maybe not even the temperature in the bed.

Looking at Zhang Xueming, who was still asleep, Lu Zhengyi tiptoed out of the house and came outside.

"Dao Chief, do you know how important it is for a pregnant woman to get enough sleep?"

As soon as he left the house, Lu Zhengyi released the mute button and said helplessly, "It's only five o'clock now, five o'clock!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The Taoist of Guanshan replied apologetically, "I thought that you used to wake me up in the middle of the night and call you to make you sober up and feel how painful it was to be woken up, but I forgot that you were married, and there were others next to you." ”

"Huh, naïve."

Lu Zhengyi laughed.

On the phone, it quickly fell silent.

It took a while for a voice to come out again.

"I'm just here to remind you, you're probably blocked, in the future, don't think about developing over there." The mountain watcher continued, no emotion could be heard in his tone, "But...... You probably didn't mean to, right? ”

They definitely didn't send Lu Zhengyi out to interfere in people's internal affairs.

But not necessarily for Lu Zhengyi himself.

"It certainly wasn't intentional, I'm just going to make a movie, okay." Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "Okay, I know, when this happened, I probably guessed that there would be such a situation." ”

The Guanshan Daoist didn't say much more, as he said, just to remind him that the development over there is probably no play.

However, it is indeed very important for Lu Zhengyi to have a clear news on this matter.

At least it's not like Zhang Xueming said before, when the time comes, after the hard work, people are stuck in the review step and don't let their movies go online.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhengyi yawned and didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, times have changed, and even if some things are blocked at the network level, there are always people who can find other routes.

And when he reopened the door and walked in, he saw that his wife had already sat up, leaning on the pillow, waiting for something.

"Finished calling?"

Seeing him enter the house, she asked softly.

"Next time I go to bed, I must turn it off directly."

Lu Zhengyi walked over, put his phone aside, and got back into the bed, "You heard it just now." ”

"Well, I vaguely heard some." Zhang Xueming nodded, moved closer to him, and leaned close to him, "It's all about diplomacy, let's just make a horror movie, is it so serious." ”

"Let's shoot in China, isn't it good?"

"How to go abroad, there are so many things for them."

Block it, ban it, she had already been mentally prepared before, and when this fact came, she didn't have much emotion.

She is now more concerned about why she is okay at home, but she has trouble when she goes abroad.

The question relates to the feasibility of future development in other countries.

"There are a lot of people in our country to deal with, and we can control it, and they ...... Not necessarily. Lu Zhengyi hesitated and replied, "I don't know the situation on their side, after all, I'm just a director and a filmmaker, and I don't know anything specific." ”

"But judging from their attitude this time, it should be quite reluctant to deal with those things."

"I know what you're worried about, this kind of problem may still arise in the future, but it's just possible."
