Looking forward to it?

Lu Zhengyi is really looking forward to it.

Adapting this matter is a very challenging process in itself.

To others, any original work is like the white moonlight of childhood.

The moment of first sight and first acquaintance, how amazing and impressive, and even praised by netizens as a classic, how difficult it is to adapt.

How many directors and actors have tried a comic adaptation, and the word-of-mouth has slipped directly to the point where others see him in the cast and crew, and they immediately get bored and dispel the idea of watching.

Therefore, this kind of film is not only very difficult for the director, but also a great challenge for the actors.

And the difficulty brought by this kind of adaptation is not limited to the Tang Kingdom.

After all, countries such as Heguo, Southern Dynasties, and even those countries in the West also have a hobby of adapting comics and literary works into movies and TV series, and similarly, there are not many works that can satisfy fans of the original work.

"In fact, the external pressure should be on the two of you."

On the plane to Nanchaoguo, Ito sat with Lu Zhengyi and Zhou Jie.

Originally, they planned to meet directly in the Southern Dynasty Kingdom, but the day before his departure, Ito suddenly contacted him, saying that he had arrived at the Tang Kingdom and planned to go to the Southern Dynasty Kingdom together after joining them.

It wasn't much of a hassle, so they didn't refuse.

"Director Lu is a director, if the filming is not good, someone must have something to say."

"And Mr. Zhou plays Tomoe again."

"This work revolves around the character of Tomie, and as for the roles of other people, it is not so important."

As he spoke, Ito paused, "But I think we can succeed in this work." ”

"To be honest, in fact, for so many years, not no one has given me a price that makes me happy, although I am a cartoonist, an artist, but I am also a person, and I will also be tempted by money."

"But every time those investors bring the actor who plays Tomie to me, the greed in my heart is dispelled at once, she shouldn't be like that, I will have this feeling in my heart that if I let her come to Tomoe, I will definitely fail."

"Because compared with the price given by investors, Tomie's adaptation is too unsuccessful, so that word of mouth and evaluation have declined, and it seems that I have lost more."

"So I took it easy, for so many years, I haven't handed over the adaptation rights."

These words are said as if they are on a talk show.

But there is also a little bit of a feeling of heart-to-heart.

Lu Zhengyi listened from the side, looking at Ito, although it seemed that he was talking to the two of them, in fact, his eyes were on Zhou Jie from time to time.

This mind......

Lu Zhengyi listened silently and did not interject.

Ito, 60 years old and unmarried.

Zhou Jie is in her fifties and unmarried.

As for the two of them, or rather, what Ito unilaterally thought, Lu Zhengyi didn't want to ask too much.

But he wasn't so optimistic about it.

Although it is suitable in terms of age, it is ...... Lu Zhengyi felt that Zhou Jie probably didn't look down on others.

With her self-proclaimed cultivator and high-minded nature, she probably won't be able to look down on anyone in her life.

Therefore, Ito is destined to pay unilaterally and not reap the results.

But when he thought of this, Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

Because isn't this the plot in Tomie?

Unexpectedly, Ito, the creator, actually met a Tomie in real life.

The plane to the Southern Dynasty was a little faster than the one to the country, departing in the morning and arriving near noon.

"The rest of the crew has already come here in advance to prepare."

"Our crew has cooperated with some entertainment companies on the Southern Dynasties side because of the release of several movies before, so I believe that the preparations will be completed soon."

"Let's go to the hotel now, and start the audition work tomorrow......"

Lu Zhengyi explained while leading the two off the plane.

As for the rest of the crew, they have already come first.

Although it has changed to a different country, the rest of the crew is familiar with overseas filming, and there is no need to form a group of people together like at the beginning, all one after another.

"Hello, this is our passport and visa."

Then, he led the two to the counter, handed over all the documents of the three, and spoke in the proficient Southern Korean language.

Since he is going to shoot on the side of the Southern Dynasties, Lu Zhengyi is of course the same as when he went to Heguo Development before, and he has learned the corresponding language to facilitate the command of the work during filming.

Inside the window, the woman in charge of the affairs skillfully took the things, but after seeing the names on the passport, her movements obviously stopped, and her eyes widened.

The woman looked at the three of them carefully through the glass of the window, picked up the documents and compared them repeatedly, and then hurriedly spoke politely, "May I ask Director Lu Zhengyi?" ”

She speaks Tang language.

At the window of an international flight like this, the staff in charge of docking must be able to speak at least three languages in order to meet the standard.

"It's me."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "Is there anything wrong with the documents?" ”

It looks like you recognize yourself, but you can't ask for your autograph, group photo, or anything like that, right?

After all, people are still working.

This kind of business is not so unprofessional.

"No, no problem."

The staff quickly waved his hand, "There is something wrong on our side, you may need to leave through other passages in the airport, wait, I will let the ground staff take you out." ”

"Just received a notification that there seems to be your fan at the airport, or ......"

"Fans of other people."

Her eyes looked at the two people behind Lu Zhengyi, one seemed to be a very famous actor, although she didn't know it, but with this look, the coffee position would definitely not be small.

As for Ito, she also doesn't know the looks, but she knows the other person's name.

A very well-known Japanese cartoonist.

But no matter what, it should be a very popular public figure.

Of course, the airport knows the identity information of each group of passengers, and as soon as Lu Zhengyi and the others got on the plane, the airport already knew about it, and they have been paying close attention to it.

And when there were some activities like fan pick-ups at the airport, they reacted immediately.

You have to stop people at the window and arrange for other passages to leave.

"Fans?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little surprised, he was not a star, and he would not arrange any pick-up activities or anything like that.

So...... How was the itinerary revealed?

"Yes, they're waiting at the exit now." The staff quickly explained, "But in order to avoid order at the airport, we hope that you can cooperate and leave through other channels, and if you need it, we can also help you contact a special car to get you to your destination as soon as possible." ”

The meaning of a few words is to send people away quickly, so as not to mess up those fans.

"Of course, of course, no problem, we cooperate with your work."

Of course, Lu Zhengyi would not refuse this arrangement, mainly, he didn't expect that there would be fans on the side of Nanchaoguo who would spontaneously pick up the plane.

It must be a spontaneous event, right?

According to the arrangement of the airport ground staff, Lu Zhengyi and the others left the airport through another passage.

As they left, they also checked towards the door.

There are indeed many fans gathered at the entrance of the airport, and there are some posters, banners and so on.

And the content is something that looks curious, very scary, and very bloody.

There is also a life-size poster of 'Ga Coconut' inside, which is pestled at the entrance of the airport, like a door god.

It's a fan, that's right.

Lu Zhengyi looked at those things, and knew that these people were indeed here to pick him up, after all, except for his own fans, no one else would put such things on the plane when picking up.

"I thought Director Lu didn't like this kind of ...... Things on the scene. ”

Getting on the special car to the hotel, Ito couldn't help but speak, "I remember, your usual itinerary seems to be quite low-key, and I can't find anyone who can find you in private except for the public itinerary." ”

Since he decided to cooperate, of course he had more to know about Lu Zhengyi as a person.

And except for some public information on the Internet, there is almost no private life.

No fan can 'meet' Lu Zhengyi, and no one knows what hobbies he has in private besides work.

"It should be spontaneous from fans, and I didn't arrange such an event." Lu Zhengyi took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Assistant Wang, "But it is not ruled out that it was arranged by friends here." ”

Soon, he got Wang Yao's reply and reluctantly picked up his phone.

"It seems that I guessed half of it, our itinerary was exposed by the cooperative company here in the Southern Dynasty, but they didn't deliberately say that they wanted to hide it, and they didn't have any responsibility." Lu Zhengyi explained, "But the pick-up activity is indeed a spontaneous act of fans. ”

He was a little surprised.

It's not easy for fans to organize offline events spontaneously.

Even those traffic stars, many of them are managed and arranged by the brokerage team.

Otherwise, it is difficult for the fan group to complete the preparation and distribution of funds, the confirmation of the itinerary, and even the reporting of the number of people in the event.

However, just such a simple thing also made Lu Zhengyi feel some of the atmosphere of the entertainment circle of the Southern Dynasties.

Compared with Yu Heguo, the atmosphere of the entertainment industry here seems to be more similar to the atmosphere in China.

And, of course, the media.

": The curse crew appeared at Incheon Airport, and Director Roh Jeong-yi himself had arrived in the Southern Dynasty.

": The new film of internationally renowned horror director Lu Zhengyi may be filmed in the Great Southern Dynasty!"

": ...... Ito, a well-known manga artist in Wakuni"

Just by using his mobile phone to connect to the network of Nanchaoguo and opening some media platforms that had been installed early in the morning, Lu Zhengyi saw one marketing tweet after another that were similar to domestic Weibo, Tieba, and short videos.

And what is written above is even more exaggerated.

'Internationally renowned director', for this title, Lu Zhengyi wants to laugh a little.

Is it internationally renowned? Since he started filming Curse, although his fame has rushed out of the Tang Kingdom and gained some overseas fans, the scope is still in the Dongzhou region.

As far afield, there may be, but only a few.

But in the mouths of these Southern Korean media, he has already become an internationally renowned director.

Of course, this is also the normal operation here.

For example, some international brands in food and clothing, when they settle in the Southern Dynasties, they will also go all out to advocate and label all kinds of exaggerated names, after all, they elevate the other party, and the 'I' who cooperates with them will naturally have weight.

": Since Lu Zhengyi invited An Xiaozhou to participate in the curse, I thought of such a day."

": Hahahaha This is the market of the Great Southern Dynasty, and even such a famous director has come to seek cooperation!"

": I used to like Director Lu very much after watching the curse, but now I like it even more, and I'm going to watch all his previous works tonight!"

": Oh Mo, Dafa! What did I see, did Lu Zhengyi cooperate! ”

": The market of Heguo is too small, and the pattern is too small to accommodate Director Lu, our Southern Dynasties are different, the sea is inclusive, all cultures can be accommodated, and we will never do anything to ban movies because the content is too terrifying!"

": This is Hallyu! We are very famous in the world, I hope that this time Director Lu can find us Xiche Oba cooperation~"

And under these marketing tweets, Lu Zhengyi also saw the corresponding evaluation.

Obviously, netizens on the side of the Southern Dynasty are very fond of this.

The more the media on the side of the Southern Dynasty preached how high and great Lu Zhengyi's status was, the more proud they felt.

"Originally, I thought that the market here would be very repulsive to us." Lu Zhengyi read the news all the way, and when he got out of the car, he smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, this hasn't been filmed yet, the heat is so high." ”

He even has a feeling that even if the quality of the film is unsatisfactory, these netizens of the Southern Dynasty will blow it out of the sky.

"It's very similar to the domestic environment."

Zhou Jie also read some comments on the Internet a little bit just now, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and she didn't even look at it much, "No, it should be said that it is more than in China...... Serious, aggressive. ”

She didn't really care about it.

Even if she smashes it up at that time, she doesn't care how people scold her on the Internet.

From the moment she embarked on the path of cultivation, she was no longer an actress, she was in a state of semi-retirement, after all, her ambition was not here.

The more you care about things, the more angry and sad you will be because of what others say, and what is there to care about at all.

Zhou Jie now agrees to participate in the filming, completely out of wanting to make a deeper acquaintance with Lu Zhengyi.

"I'll go in first, and if necessary, I'll contact you by phone."

Dropping a sentence casually, she was like a fairy out of the dust, took the suitcase from the trunk of the car with one hand, and walked towards the hotel.

"Teacher Zhou, I'll help you get it."

As for Ito, who was attentive next to her, Zhou Jie didn't even pay much attention to it, and still pulled the suitcase by herself.

But her look very arrogant, but independent, made Ito like it even more, and eagerly followed alongside.
