I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 142 [Plum Cat Crew]

"Xiao Wang, the game server will start tomorrow, so remember to pay attention to the comments tonight."

"It must be overtime. You have to keep an eye on something as important as the game server launch."

"This kind of thing takes turns, but you just started working, isn't it good to accumulate more work experience? I remember that it was written on your job resume that you are very hardworking and fully support the company's arrangements and scheduling. "

In a game company,

A young man with oily face and messy hair was lying on his desk, supporting his body with his arms, scratching his hair constantly.

In the general office group, he was assigned to stay and watch the forum tonight.

"Thank you, Xiao Wang."

"Come on, intern."

"Actually, just pay attention to the movement of comments, it's not a big problem."

……

As an intern operator, Wang Xiaoxu convinced himself again and again to accept the extra work assigned by the team leader based on the ideas of 'I am the youngest', 'I have the lowest qualifications', 'accumulate experience'...

Until now, he began to realize that something was wrong.

Whether it is the team leader or the colleagues around him, it seems that they are used to entrusting the work to him.

The other interns in the same period were not entrusted with important tasks like myself. '

But to refuse?

Wang Xiaoxu hesitated again, fearing that his relationship with his colleagues would deteriorate.

'Forget it, one last time. '

He thought in his heart, but there was no attack.

Wang Xiaoxu took over the job. At this moment, the buttons on the lower right corner of the computer suddenly flashed a message.

He moved the mouse over, only to realize that it was a dormitory group chat where no one had spoken for almost a month.

Probably another complaint about work and the boss.

Wang Xiaoxu thought to himself.

Since the beginning of the internship, the most content in the dormitory group chat is about these, but everyone is in a different company and a different position, and the most common complaints are "really", "I am also working overtime", "very annoying" ' and so on, over time there will be no one to chat with.

"The underworld director seems to have no news recently."

The boss of the dormitory who was doing program development in a small company sent a message in the group.

'Hell director? '

Wang Xiaoxu froze for a moment when he heard this address.

It took him a while to remember, 'Oh, Director Roh Zhengyi. '

It seems like a month ago, they started the topic like this.

Because Lu Zhengyi's new movie is out.

"? Isn't he just in the movie?"

In the group, the second child who works as a freelance painter at home also came out, first sent a single question mark, and then sent several messages one after another, "It's not normal to have no news."

"What's it called... double pupils?"

"That's right, that's right, it's only been a month. I can't hold back another movie in a month. That would be too productive."

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoxu couldn't help typing and stopped diving.

"Second brother, have you stayed at home for a long time and divorced from society?"

"It was a pre-heating a month ago, the movie hasn't even been released yet."

"If you want me to say, you should come out and look for a job."

The second child sent a surprised expression, "So it's not up yet?"

The boss of the dormitory took a screenshot of Weibo and sent several messages one after another.

"That's right, it's not up yet, so let's put it aside and hype it up."

"Some time ago, an actress jumped out and said that there were ghosts in the crew, and she made a lot of noise."

"As a result, the news that the double pupils had been killed was spread, and the fire was turned off immediately. This routine reminded me of the curse at the beginning, and it was also repeatedly jumping horizontally."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoxu smiled a little on his expressionless face, and typed on the keyboard, "I still remember that time, the three of you were still scared to worship Buddha everywhere, laughing to death, I said it was someone else marketing plan."

It was the last time they got together at the end of September last year.

"Six, aren't you the same?"

The boss of the dormitory asked back.

"Indeed, at that time, the third child was cheated out of five thousand and eight, and he made an excuse. He did see it, but he didn't fully see it." The second child also came out and laughed, "And the fourth child, after watching the film The next day I got chickenpox and thought I was cursed."

But at this point, he asked again, "By the way, did the fourth brother find an internship job?"

As soon as this question was asked, in front of the computer, Wang Xiaoxu, who was still smiling and planning to answer the question, couldn't help muttering, "Here we go again."

"Probably not. He doesn't like small companies, but which big companies don't need qualifications?"

The boss of the dormitory first replied, and then the topic gradually changed, "Oh, I'm so tired today, the company's project team ran a development again, and the old fritters were all pretending to be dead, and the work was left to me and the other one. Intern."

And then, the rhythm of chatting slowly began to be the same as a month ago, throwing negative garbage at each other.

The second child said that he was working as a freelance painter in his hometown, and his parents did not support him. What about work?Income is unstable, life is divorced from society, and there is no social interaction;
The boss said more and more overtime, severe hair loss, more and more physical problems, and increasing pressure;
Even the youngest Wang Xiaoxu, who was still sober, couldn't help joining in, talking about being arranged to work overtime again.

They look at each other, they are very uncomfortable to enter the society, from students to migrant workers.

"Grandpa found a job."

And at this moment, the fourth child who has not found a job and has not felt the atmosphere of the workplace appeared in the group chat, "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor. I have been suffering for almost a year. This wave Go directly to a big company for an internship.”

"Light and shadow! A well-established big company, they have recently changed their blood and laid off a group of people."

"Grandfather is lucky, he was picked directly."

Light and shadow?

Wang Xiaoxu's negative emotions were immediately taken away, and he became more energetic, "Light and Shadow Media?"

"That's right, the one that Lu Zhengyi often works with. Didn't you guys want to form a group to beat him up? The opportunity has come, and I support you mentally." The fourth child looked very excited, and replied quickly, "But I flipped through the chat For the record, have you been working overtime for a long time and disconnected from the Internet directly?"

"It's been a long time since the hype was the wind direction, and now the latest wind direction of Shuangtong has already changed."

"Yesterday afternoon, Guangying directly announced that Huang Xuan would be sued in court. When I finally interviewed, the manager asked some questions about it."

……

【#光影公司考黄玄#On behalf of the Shuangtong crew, Guangying sued Huangxuan for breach of contract, because it violated the contract, the confidentiality agreement and other regulations, and leaked the plot content, which had a great impact on the release of the film ...]

[According to the staff in the play, Ms. Huang Xuan performed well during the filming period, but in private she often inquired about matters related to the plot. 】

[A large number of Houlang Weibo accounts have been banned, and the Houlang announcement has been released #黄玄女士想喜欢购买大水军##黄玄女士应该证定实#]

[Is it a hype or a business war?The Shuangtu crew formally filed a lawsuit against actor Huang Xuan. 】

[The film has not been aired, so people will tell first, this is the first time the editor has seen such a crew...]

……

"Six, Director Lu is really interesting."

"When I thought it was true, it was actually fake, and when I thought it was hype, it turned out to be true again. Director Lu, I really can't figure you out. (Smile)"

"Signed the contract, but still breached it, is this Huang Xuan stupid?"

"She is definitely not stupid. Judging from the contract, she has to pay at least tens of millions in liquidated damages. Most likely there are people behind it."

"Huang Xuan? Who, I've never heard of it."

"Is it so rich? Tens of millions of liquidated damages can also be paid, and the rich second generation enters the circle to experience life?"

When Light and Shadow Media's "propaganda plan" was issued, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

At the beginning, when people exposed the news, there was a lot of noise on the Internet, but the crew of Light Shadow and Shuangtong did not respond at all. Later, those scolding disappeared inexplicably. Netizens thought it was hype, show, and marketing.

After all, Lu Zhengyi has a criminal record.

When "The Curse" was released, the netizens were tricked by rings and rings.

After the film was released, many bloggers made videos specifically to analyze 'Lu Zhengyi''s micro-manipulation of the popularity of the Internet during that time.

From the warm-up before the release, to being scolded on the hot search after the release, and then the sideshow video was exposed... This series of operations, many of which can be analyzed by Zhuge Liang after the fact.

They even predicted that there would be at least one major reversal of the original plan at the time, which was the time when Li Ruonan's name was added to the screenwriter.

But it may be that Guangying Media has been cowardly in order to stabilize the situation, fearing that the game will collapse, so the publicity team put Lu Zhengyi directly on the bench, so they did not continue to reverse.

And this time...

In mid-March, on the day of the vernal equinox, there was a slight drizzle in Jiangcheng,

"Yes, my afternoon flight."

At the airport, Lu Zhengyi was wearing a mask, sitting alone in the waiting area, and talking on the phone, "I saw the trending search, 39, huh? Is my tone too calm? Sigh... no The way, there are too many hot searches, and I don’t feel much.”

"Yes, yes, thanks to Mr. Zhang's help."

"Dinner? What kind of meal are you eating? You're too polite. What's the relationship between us? I don't need to talk about inviting you to dinner. No, no, no, I mean, as long as you want to eat, I will invite you anytime. It's worth counting as favors."

He held the mobile phone and whispered to Zhang Xueming on the other end of the phone.

This is the truth.

I haven't been on a hot search before, but after I did, I was very excited and happy.

Especially when he was on the hot search for the first time, the whole crew knocked on his door at night.

But since the curse has been on the Weibo hot search for almost two weeks, they are not so restless now, so they just say that.

It became a trending search, and the rest of the crew didn't even make a phone call.

In the group, no one talked about it, everyone was doing their own things, as if nothing had happened.

"Xiao Le? He's recovering well. Originally, I planned to go back at the end of the month. Anyway, I'm quite relieved to have you in Beijing to watch over me." Lu Zhengyi glanced at the boarding time and stood up from his seat. , "But he insisted on letting me go, seeing people get used to staying in the hospital, so I let him go."

Chinese New Year is earlier this year, and the New Year is over in January.

As for him, at the beginning of February, he rushed over to Jiangcheng after receiving a call from Xiao Le.

Then this and that happened. I stayed in Jiangcheng for more than a month. Now it is mid-March. The film has been edited and submitted for review. If the progress is accelerated, it will be released on April [-]st.

Of course, some greetings are required.

"I'm going to get on the plane here, we'll talk about it later in the evening."

Seeing that he was about to board the plane, Lu Zhengyi lost a word in a hurry and planned to hang up.

But on the phone, Zhang Xueming mentioned again, asking him to search for the movie "Horror in the Night" on the plane before taking off.

'Scary night? '

After boarding the plane, Lu Zhengyi searched Weibo on his seat.

[#夜里惊惊# The crew starts up, directed by @刘宇晶, starring @XY-白少商, @XY-白静云...]

[The well-known director Liu Yujing announced that the new film is a horror film. He was once one of the gold medal directors in Hong Kong City, and he once participated in eleven films in one year. 】

[I got excited, I saw that Bai Shaoshang was going to make a horror movie, my God, doesn't his ambition have no limit?No. [-] on the stage, No. [-] best-selling pop music album of the year in Tang Dynasty, and the male god of the popular sweet love drama on the Green Apple platform, he is going to enter the horror film market! 】

【Who are you, the pen-tip boy who yearns for day and night, turning into a song in the wasteland of the city. @XY-Bai Shaoshang No matter what decision you make, we will always support you! 】

[The newcomer Bai Jingyun is the younger sister of Shaoshang, the kind I love, I hope everyone will support me~@XY-白静云]

……

As soon as this Weibo was found, Lu Zhengyi's expression became... well, very subtle.

But he still supports it.

Compared to the past, Manager Liu's behavior of letting traitors mix into his crew and leaking information.

This kind of approach of forming a crew, finding a script, and really wanting to enter the horror film market to compete with him is actually very good, this is a healthy competition.

Lu Zhengyi silently turned off the phone and ignored it.

Of course, the most important reason is that it's not his own money that will be cheated by then.

As for whether the market has been disrupted, will it affect me?

Lu Zhengyi was not worried at all.

This piece of land grew out of nothing, and he developed it film by film.

The reason why audiences watch his movies so enthusiastically is not because of the word 'horror movie' first, but because of the word 'Lu Zhengyi' first, and the latter word 'horror movie' can be seen by others. The difference is huge.

It was evening when we returned to the northern capital.

It was just after nine o'clock when the plane landed.

Xu Feng drove the car and brought Xiao Zhongyong to pick him up.

"Meow?"

As soon as we met at the gate of the airport, the little black cat stared at Lu Zhengyi. After all, there were two people when they went there, and only one came back now.

He circled around the people several times, but couldn't find the extra guy.

Even the taste is gone.

"she left."

Lu Zhengyi said softly, knelt down and picked him up, "We won't see each other in the future."

"Meow?"

Xiao Zhongyong tilted the cat's head, not quite understanding what he meant.

No way, Lu Zhengyi approached his ear and said a few words.

The little black cat's mood suddenly fell, and he was silent, leaning his head on his shoulder.

In fact, he didn't hate Chu Renmei that much.

He just doesn't like the smell, he's still...

"Ayi, otherwise, you should let me know in the group chat, at least... get to know each other."

Xu Feng also just learned the news.

They all only knew that Lu Zhengyi left to take care of a child.

But for what reason and what they have experienced, they don't know at all.

Lu Zhengyi hesitated for a while and nodded.

After getting in the car, he sat in the passenger seat and took out his mobile phone.

[Lu Zhengyi: @All Members Mr. Chu was finished some time ago, because it happened quite suddenly, so I didn't tell you the first time. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: No, Mr. Liang. 】

[Lu Zhengyi: Her name is actually Liang Meijuan, and Chu Renmei is just the name of a character in the old corpse in the mountain village. 】

Quiet.

In the group chat, none jumped out, only three messages from Lu Zhengyi stayed there alone.

The whole group chat acted like no one noticed.

"Let's go."

Lu Zhengyi turned off the phone screen and signaled to Xu Feng that it was time to drive.

But Xu Feng didn't move, he still looked at the screen.

After a while, following the sound of '嗡——', a message appeared under Lu Zhengyi's three words.

[Zhang Yu: Congratulations to Mr. Liang for finishing the program, and wish you a bright future. (flowers)]

Immediately afterwards, the news of 'buzzing --' continued.

[Chang Zhengwei: Congratulations to Mr. Liang for completing the filming, and I wish you a bright future. (flowers)]

[Zhang Yuming: Congratulations, Teacher Liang...]

【Ajie: Congratulations...】

Xiao Wei, Bai Wei, Wei Kang, Xiao Li, Yu Wenxiu, Li Zhenxi, Liu Baoning...

There were a total of 37 people in the group, except for Lu Zhengyi, 35 messages appeared in that dialog box one after another.

[Xu Feng: Congratulations to Mr. Liang for completing the program, and wish you a bright future. (flowers)]

There was another hum, and Lu Zhengyi turned his head in a daze to look at Xu Feng next to him.

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong raised his cat's paw and pressed it on the screen of Lu Zhengyi's phone.

"alright."

Lu Zhengyi smiled helplessly, and also posted a sentence in the group chat.

[Lu Zhengyi: Congratulations to Mr. Liang on the finale, and wish you a bright future. (flowers)]

Since all the employees under him believed, there was still a way ahead for Mr. Liang.

He can only follow.

But to be honest, he felt a little lighter.

The car started, and while Lu Zhengyi was smoothing Xiao Zhong's hair bravely, he looked at the car in front of him in a daze.

The crew did not ask about the specific reasons for Liang Meijuan's filming.

They are just so blessed.

But at that moment just now, Lu Zhengyi felt that his team had changed a bit.

The look of the team.

In fact, everyone in their crew has something wrong with them.

For example, Zhang Yu is very lecherous, a little greasy, and a little slick in front of him. When filming the first film, people in the crew scolded him a lot in private and felt disgusted.

But later on, he gradually changed.

With a little bit of success, I have become an assistant director, or I should say, I have returned to the way I wanted to be a director in the first place.

Like Zhang Yuming, he is very impulsive.

He hasn't changed, and he is very impulsive now, but after all, his age is there, and he is young and energetic.

Like Bai Wei, he often speaks irrespective of the occasion, sometimes making the atmosphere cold, and occasionally easily offending people...

Each of them is not a particularly perfect person, not a person who can control himself so much.

But after coming to this crew, as long as the big guys get together for filming, the spirit will be different.

The first film, the second film, and now the third film has been filmed. Lu Zhengyi can feel that their connection is getting closer, and at the same time, they are influencing each other. They are no longer using the "Grass Team" Four words can describe it.

The crew is no longer set up hastily.

It's taking shape.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, Xiao Zhongyong in his arms cried out.

"Sorry sorry."

Lu Zhengyi said apologetically, he was out of his mind just now, and accidentally stroked the cat's fur backwards.

"Speaking of which, I often hear people say that our crew is the underworld crew."

He spoke softly, with some expectation in his tone.

"Correct."

Xu Feng was driving the car, and when he heard him say that, he continued, "After all, we're shooting a horror movie, so it's somewhat impolite."

"However, it's okay. What horror movies want is impoliteness."

"If it's polite and plain, audiences won't watch any horror movies, right?"

Lu Zhengyi smiled, "Yes, it's really rude."

"Recently, I've been thinking about naming the crew. How about we call it Mei Limao crew, how about it?"

"As for the LOGO, use Ayong's portrait rights."

As he said that, he shook Xiao Zhongyong, "There are indeed a few people in our crew."

"I have to recruit a lot of people every time I shoot a film. It's okay for a film with few special shots like Shuangtong. But if it's a play with a lot of special shots, it's troublesome to hide it. Every time I have to dismiss the team , take a little more time to finish.”

"If there are more people, the action will be stronger."

"what?"

Xu Feng didn't understand.

And Lu Zhengyi didn't speak any more, thinking silently.

The name of the crew is very important.

Lu Zhengyi has been thinking about this matter since he finished chatting with Zhang Xueming that day.

Because of the particularity of the crew, their team was different from other crews in the entertainment industry from the very beginning.

Most of the crews of other big directors are a group.

If you really want to make a film, just call out in the group, see who is free among the people who often cooperate and are familiar with the ability, and come over to help.

Even if some people are more rigorous and register a company like Lu Zhengyi, and keep some more capable people around through salary and treatment, it is just a relationship between subordinates and subordinates. If they meet more suitable ones, they can change jobs.

But Lu Zhengyi's crew is different.

Working in this crew, they can see the world that ordinary people can't touch.

It is very difficult for a person to return to a normal life after seeing that grotesque world.

For example, if the door of the house is suddenly moved, normal people will wonder if it was blown by the wind.But people in the crew may wonder if there is something in front of me that I can't see;
For another example, when a normal person encounters a supernatural event, the first reaction may be to panic or chaos; while the crew should run away immediately according to the employee code. Light up the backstage.

This subtle change in cognition has made this crew no longer look like a normal crew, and they have a stronger cohesion.

They break away from the normal corporate organization.

The thing that connects these people in the crew is gradually no longer money.

There are many ideas in Lu Zhengyi's mind, but it is not an easy task to realize them.

This process requires a lot of help.

The help of ordinary people and the help of practitioners.

As for this aspect, Lu Zhengyi has two channels at hand.

One is the Zhang family.

One is Taoist Guanshan.
