In a restaurant downstairs of the Light and Shadow Group,

Lu Zhengyi looked at the man and woman in front of him, a little stunned.

"So...... You've been banned too? ”

He looked at the two of them strangely, "I'm sorry, I'm responsible for this matter." ”

Heguo's ban on the cursed crew, not only the film, but even the variety shows that the actors put on for publicity were taken off the shelves, and even the actors themselves were punished.

Obviously, Heguo really attaches great importance to this matter, and it is necessary to minimize the impact of horror films on special events in Heguo.

"No, no, no, it's not your responsibility, we have it."

I haven't seen it for a long time, but Kyoko Kanda is a little brighter than a year ago, "Before filming, we all read the script, and we all thought it was okay. ”

"After filming, the film also passed the review smoothly and was released."

"Now that something has happened in the film, you can only blame it...... Bad luck. ”

It is a fact that wealth and fame support others.

Although she is now banned by Heguo because of Curse 2, in the past year, she has also received great attention from the Heguo entertainment industry because of Curse 1, and participated in the filming of some commercial performances and film and television dramas.

Of course, the beautiful content stopped at this moment, and now with the Curse 2 crew being completely banned, all the commercial advertisements, film and television dramas she has cooperated with this year ...... All were stopped and replaced.

Even the contract with the brokerage company was unilaterally terminated.

Say there is no resentment? It's definitely impossible.

After all, it is my hometown, the place where I have lived for so many years, and I have worked hard for so many years.

Finally, she had some improvement in her career, but it came to naught overnight.

This kind of thing is not a trivial matter in anyone's life, and there must always be a fault party.

Before coming to Tang Kingdom, Kyoko Kanda felt that it was the crew's fault.

If you don't shoot Curse 2, but only the first part, will the situation be completely different.

I can continue to develop in the entertainment industry of Heguo with the attention brought by the curse, and the crew will not be banned by Heguo, everything will be better.

Why did the crew make this decision to shoot the second part?

Don't they know that once many movies have a second part, more will only have a bad impact, and it is difficult to have a good result?

But when she really saw Lu Zhengyi, the resentment accumulated in Kyoko Kanda's heart disappeared in an instant.

She didn't dare.

She remembered what kind of person she was in front of her.

This is a wizard who can drive away evil spirits!

So who will be at fault? And the country? No, she didn't dare either.

So it can only be attributed to 'bad luck'.

"yes, Director Lu, we're just out of luck."

Compared with Kyoko Kanda, Takahashi Wen has no confidence to blame, "The script of Curse 2, many plots and characters were all figured out together during the filming process, and this matter should not be borne by you alone." ”

When filming first started, Curse 2 didn't have a complete script at all.

Each of the leading actors only got an outline that didn't even finish a page, with the same background introduction as in the introduction to Cursed 1, and in addition, it was the director's verbal character arrangement.

The content of the shooting, the plot, and the final character design were all thought up by the big guys together, and of course he would not attribute the responsibility to the director.

However, the reason why the two have said so much, there is actually another important point.

That is, they are here to apply for a job, not to investigate the fault.

Since they want to work in the plum civet crew, how can they really push all the fault to the director at this time.

"I won't say anything superfluous."

Lu Zhengyi looked at them with a smile, or rather, first set his eyes on Kyoko Kanda, "The situation of our crew, you should be clear, even if this is the case, do you want to join us?" I remember you weren't scared before. ”

Kyoko Kanda's expression was a little bitter, afraid, of course afraid.

Knowing that a horror film director made a film, inviting a real ghost to play, this horror is no less than her seeing a psychiatrist because of a hallucination in front of her eyes, and the doctor nervously suggested going to the shrine.

Since then, she has not contacted the director Lu Zhengyi, even if she has contact information, she is afraid that she will have too much to do with others, and there are more strange things around her.

As a result, I still can't avoid it, I can't avoid it.

After all, people always have to live.

In the industry of being an actor in Heguo, she generally does not have a high degree of education, like herself, after graduating from high school, she was favored by a talent scout, signed a brokerage contract, and then was busy with various dance, vocal music studies and performances, and had no chance to continue her studies at all.

It can be said that except for the path of an artist, she has to start all over again on all other roads, unless she gets married.

And now that she has been banned in Heguo, she can only come to seek refuge with others.

"I know, I've made a decision."

Kyoko Kanda replied seriously, "On the contrary, I'm afraid that the director will dislike me, after all, ...... Your experience in Heguo was not very pleasant, and you should have lost a lot of money this time, right? ”

Although she said that she didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Zhengyi because she was afraid.

But there is still news of paying attention to Curse 2, when this movie was just released, there was a possibility of being in the top 50 of the Heguo movie list.

As for the movie, she also secretly went to the theater to watch it, plus some activities in the theater, details of publicity, and the amount of money invested by the crew in this process, it is difficult for her to calculate as a small actor.

But this amount is almost certainly money that she will not be able to earn in her lifetime.

But now the movie is gone.

Lu Zhengyi and other investors should not be in a good mood.

"Fortunately, the losses in Heguo have slowly been made up for in other places."

To Kyoko Kanda's surprise, Lu Zhengyi's attitude was very casual, "As for you, you are also a victim, I don't need to be angry with you, you can rest assured." ”

"When I recruit employees, I always only value character and ability, and your personality and ability have already been known when we first filmed together."

"So...... You are welcome to join us. ”

He smiled and stretched out his palm, "For the specific contract, I will ask Assistant Wang to contact you later." ”

"If you don't have a problem with what we want in terms of people, we'll be able to work together as colleagues soon."

Since launching the overseas market, Lu Zhengyi has always had the intention of signing overseas actors.

But this is not an easy thing, after all, overseas artists who can cooperate with him must have a certain ability.

And most of such actors will have a brokerage company.

In addition, it is a transnational development, which is very risky, and few artists can make up their minds.

"Thank you, Director Lu, for giving me this opportunity."

Kyoko Kanda gratefully replied and stretched out her palm.

In fact, if you can join the plum civet crew, even if you don't go to other countries to develop, but follow the crew to develop in the Tang Kingdom, it is also a good choice.

The entertainment market in the Tang Kingdom is very large, which is a fact that artists from any country in Dongzhou are well aware of.

On the side, Takahashi Wen watched the interaction between the two of them, and his face was a little gloomy.

He saw that Lu Zhengyi had not taken care of himself all along, and wondered if he had been eliminated.

"As for Mr. Takahashi......"

But soon, Lu Zhengyi looked at him, "You need to understand some things first, and when you can accept it, our side will start the next step of the process." ”

"Of course, I also recognize Mr. Takahashi's ability and love for this industry."

"Mr. Kanda, if it is convenient, please give Mr. Takahashi a thorough understanding first, as for more details, Assistant Wang of our crew will tell Mr. Takahashi in more detail."

That's right, compared to cursing and revealing stuffing during filming.

Until now, Fumi Takahashi, including the other leading actors in the crew filming Curse 2 at that time, no one knows what the crew is hiding.

So if he wants to join the crew, the biggest problem is whether he can accept the truth.

If you are like that Lin Zimo, you can't accept the truth, you have been in a state of panic for a long time, and you have no way to adapt, you can only regretfully persuade you to quit.

However, the recruitment of ordinary employees, now Lu Zhengyi does not have to worry about it.

In this regard, Assistant Wang can do a good job.

And this time, after the release plan of Cursed Grudge 2 is over, Zhang Xueming will also transfer a few more employees from the light and shadow side to be responsible for the coordination of the crew's business with him, so as to avoid overwork.

But Kyoko Kanda's surrender reminded Lu Zhengyi of something.

He has one more person to meet before the next project begins.

……

"Buzz—"

Silent night,

In front of a park,

A sprinkler truck with a roar stopped in front of Lu Zhengyi.

He watched a young man wearing a peaked cap step down from the driver's seat with some astonishment, and then shouted very respectfully and politely, "Senior Lu, I am the commissioner who received the special transportation task this time, and I am responsible for your meeting with Mr. Li Tianran. ”

“…… Your business is wide enough. ”

Lu Zhengyi glanced at the sprinkler curiously, there was still a person sitting in the passenger seat, wearing civilian clothes, wearing sunglasses at night, and his hands were always placed below, thinking that it was Li Tianran.

But he just glanced at it, and then looked at the front window, where there were all kinds of documents and work permits......

There is a look, and it looks like it is really working.

Couriers, funeral home workers, sprinkler drivers......

This Guanshan Dao is long in their department, and there are quite a few industries involved.

"It's just a part-time job, and most of the time, I don't have a job."

The man in the cap replied politely, "I usually drive a car, and I can't be idle." ”

"Huh, this work package is assigned, right?"

Lu Zhengyi touched it in his arms and handed over a cigarette, "I have also met your other colleagues, from all walks of life. ”

"Eh, you're welcome." The man in the cap took the cigarette with both hands, held it in his hand and didn't smoke it, "It's a bag allocation, I have too much free time, when I have nothing to do, I will arrange some work for us, sanitation workers, online drivers, couriers...... Quite a lot. ”

"Then you guys should be getting busy lately, right?"

Lu Zhengyi saw that he didn't smoke it, and he didn't order it himself, "The number of times I see you here is getting more and more frequent." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and motioned to the person in the car, "It took a lot of effort to catch him." ”

Since Zhang Xueming became pregnant, he basically doesn't smoke at home, and he only smokes occasionally in the crew when he goes out.

"yes, ...... lately"

The man in the cap was about to say something, but he quickly paused, "Ahem, Director Lu, my job is to send people here for you to meet, probably...... Half an hour. ”

He glanced at his watch, "And then I'll have to send people back." ”

"Of course, I'll have to record what you talked about."

"This is the duty of the job, please understand."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him, didn't ask anything more, and replied with a smile, "Understand, understand, then let's start quickly?" ”

The man in the cap didn't say anything more, came to the passenger seat of the sprinkler truck, and called the person down.

At the same time, the handcuffs in his hands were opened.

The handcuffs looked strange, more like a pair of gloves, wrapping all his fingers.

After all, with yourself by your side, you don't have to wear this kind of thing to avoid attracting attention.

"From now on, half an hour, the specific content will be recorded through this watch." The man in the cap took off the watch in his hand, handed it to Lu Zhengyi, and then gestured with one hand, "Please." ”

"Why don't you go shopping with us?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm not going, I still have things to do." The man in the cap shook his head, removed the water pipe from the car, and went to the green fire hydrant on the side of the road to add water, "You guys are busy with you, don't worry about me." ”

"Quite dutiful."

Lu Zhengyi smiled helplessly, and looked at Li Tianran, who was a little stunned next to him, "Let's go, let's go and walk around, talk as we go." ”

Li Tianran did not refuse, and silently followed beside him.

Soon, though, when they got out of sight of the cap man and into the park, he had some extra movements.

Li Tianran's head didn't move, but his eyes were slanted from time to time, secretly looking at Lu Zhengyi.

At the same time, he put his finger to his mouth and bit hard.

It's not the kind of action that a child bites his fingers, but really gnaws his fingers with his teeth, and his hands are full of blood.

Blood splattered on his clothes, but his face showed no pain, but a long-lost satisfaction.

Come to think of it, the handcuffs were not to prevent him from escaping at all, it turned out that he was afraid of self-harm.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and there was not even half a figure in the park, otherwise, his bloody hands might have scared people.

"I remember they said, you don't just like people to hurt you."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him in a casual tone.

"This, isn't it suffocating?" Li Tianran smiled, took the sunglasses off his face, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes, "I can't sleep well, so I can only settle for the next best." ”

This nervous look made him go to remake another dimension, maybe he could shoot a ...... Stories of audiences in Western markets.

"Very good, you have needs, I have the ability to demand, we are mutually beneficial."

However, Lu Zhengyi was very satisfied with his nervous appearance, and what he wanted was this habit!

"Did they communicate with you about the content of the work before they brought you here?"

He continued, "Your job is as a stuntman, and I like that when you take over the actors in dangerous scenes in the film...... The real feeling, I have always felt that shooting through borrowing, editing, dummies, and props is a bit of a fly in the ointment. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm looking forward to it!"

When it came to work, Li Tianran showed an excited look on his face, and laughed unconsciously, revealing his somewhat rugged teeth, "By the way, this cane in your hand is quite interesting, can you lend me a look?" ”

He asked suddenly, staring at the snake staff that Lu Zhengyi was holding in his hand.

"Sorry, no."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and shook his head.

"That ......"

Li Tianran slammed it, and the palm that was soaked in saliva and blood, revealing flesh and blood, grabbed Lu Zhengyi's body, "Can you let me see and understand, do you have any skills?" I haven't hurt in a long time, it's really hurt. ”

His crazy eyes were full of longing and fiery.
