【#夜里惊惊Not yet set, but the number of people who want to see it has exceeded tens of millions! #Among the horror films that have attracted much attention this year, the horror in the night can be said to be the best.

[Bai Shaoshang's new film parachutes to the top of the hot search list! #The domestic horror film market will usher in a huge change! #]

[Bai Shaoshang said frankly during the live broadcast that the quality of the new film may exceed Lu Zhengyi’s new film The First Commandment! 】

……

……

In mid-October, news about the film "The Nightmare" was buzzing.

And the Internet has a clear attitude towards this work.

"Bai Shaoshang? Who is it? I've never heard of him."

"Anything can make a horror movie?"

"I'm super, I just laughed stupidly after watching the live broadcast replay, this guy said that the quality is better than Lu Zhengyi, six."

"Laughing to death, is the current hot search so unstandard? Can you get it if you pay?"

"Discharge!"

"Shangzi, listen to my brother's persuasion, let's make a dog-blooded idol drama, and don't bother the horror movies that have just started to improve."

Just like when Lu Zhengyi was going to make a horror movie, the comment section was basically full of badmouthing and wailing.

Impressions are already there.

Bai Shaoshang is an idol from a talent show platform, not an actor.

He doesn't even have any well-known works, except for those fans who have been following him after watching the show, almost no one recognizes him.

This is just a traffic star who eats people, likes to be handsome, and looks fair.

Can traffic stars have good works?There may be.

After all, you can't always act in bad movies. If you get lucky, or you suddenly want to change your image, become a capable actor, and start studying hard.

These may help them get a good script and even perform well.

But still that sentence, the impression is there.

I have already chosen the path at the beginning, I have been labeled as 'idol' and 'traffic star', and I have made a lot of money, so it is actually very difficult to transform and become a powerful player.

Bai Shaoshang said that the quality of this film is better than that of Lu Zhengyi, does anyone believe it?

Yes, his fans believe.

"Looking forward to Shao Shangjun's new film!"

"I've started staring at the theater every day, and plan to grab the premiere tickets as soon as possible to support!"

"Will there be a road show? Yes, there will be. If there is, I will charge a high price for the road show tickets."

"I also charge a high price for one here. Scalpers, take a look and grab it for me!"

"If there is a road show, as Shaoshangjun's first big screen, I hope that fans who will watch the movie will dress up a little more solemnly, preferably in a suit."

"I want to wear a wedding dress!"

……

On various platforms, the accounts with the logo of Bai Shaoshang Chaochao big coffee washed away like a flood.

Short videos, long videos, small pink books...

They do their best to help their idols gain more discussion and attention.

Every time a related video is posted, hundreds of comments will flood in in an instant.

Among them, almost all of them were fans of Bai Shaoshang.

As for passers-by.

That's all for making a relatively rational evaluation.

But if you send some 'who is this? ', 'I've never heard of it', 'If you don't understand, just ask, is this person popular? Some comments like '... will be deleted in an instant.

Since the development of fan circle culture, it already has a relatively mature system.

The fan circles of some idols are not even run by their own agencies, but by celebrities and Vs selected by the fans themselves.

Whatever idols want to do, any endorsements, or any dramas they want to take on, they all need to get the consent of these fans first.

Idols can't control their fans. Instead, they have to listen to their fans and accept their various opinions.

……

……

Hong Kong City,

In a swimming pool,

Under the camera, Li Guoqiang walked into the swimming pool in a daze.

It's not the first time he's here.

Last time, the Miscellaneous Affairs Department received a call saying that there would be strange noises in this swimming pool late at night.

Listen to the administrator here explain that the voice is the ghost of a drowned child screaming here.

But in the end, after he received the call and rushed over, he found that it was just the hair blocking the drain and the air flow, so there were these sounds in the venue.

But that was the previous thought.

That's the scientific idea.

"Remember, our first commandment."

"There are no ghosts in this world."

Just came across the ghost of a dead old man sitting in a rocking chair, watching an unplugged but normal TV.

Li Guoqiang came to this original place in a trance.

In his heart, Huang Yaozu's warning sounded unconsciously.

This is the first case he received after coming to the miscellaneous department.

"Ahhh!"

Late at night, in the empty swimming pool, the screaming was still the same as before.

It's just that compared to the beginning, Li Guoqiang's mentality has changed now.

He entered the swimming pool in a daze, held up a flashlight, and walked without hesitation towards the drainage outlet where the hair was last found.

That's where the sound comes from.

Wei Kang followed with a camera, recording every look and expression on Li Guoqiang's face in real time.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

When they came to the drain, the screams became more piercing.

Li Guoqiang squatted by the drain, wanting to reach out again to salvage the blocked hair inside.

But this time was completely different from the previous experience.

The moment he reached out, the screams stopped.

Recorded by Wei Kang's camera, Li Guoqiang lowered his head and hesitantly grabbed the water with his hands.

But the next moment, before his hand touched the water, a figure appeared abruptly in front of him, with fluffy hair covering his face, making it hard to see what kind of guy it was.

Even if you already know, there are ghosts in this world.

Even when he came to the swimming pool, he was determined to confirm it.

But when this figure suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Guoqiang was startled, yelled, and sat down on the ground.

Not to mention Li Guoqiang, the expression of Wei Kang who was filming next to him became stiff.

Fortunately, his professionalism prevented him from shaking the camera in his hand, so that the shooting could continue.

Immediately afterwards, the figure that was still in front of Li Guoqiang suddenly turned around and appeared behind him, as if teleporting out of thin air.

"what!"

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but yelled again, got up hastily, and planned to draw his gun.

But then, that figure escaped.

Run up the stairs.

The safety of the gun in his hand was already on, the panic on Li Guoqiang's face lessened a little, and he hurried to catch up.

He is here to find ghosts.

Not looking for excitement.

He wanted to confirm once again whether the ghost of the old lady in the rocking chair was his illusion.

Li Guoqiang ran in front, and Wei Kang chased behind.

His obsession with the truth made him suppress his fear and become bold.

With a pistol in one hand and a flashlight in the other, Li Guoqiang searched room after room in the swimming pool.

Storage room, changing room, washing room...

It wasn't until Li Guoqiang opened a curtain in the washing room that the scream sounded again.

The expression on his face tensed immediately, and at the same time, the pistol was pointed at the place where the sound came out, with fierce eyes.

But soon, the ferocity on Li Guoqiang's face stopped.

"Mom, I want to find my mother..."

A wet child stood not far away, crying and calling for his mother.

……

"Ghosts are changed by people."

"Someone has become a ghost, and they want to enjoy, they want to gain fame and fortune that they never had before, and they want to do things that they dare not do when they are alive."

"But some people have become ghosts, and they still just want to be ordinary people in peace. Some people even think that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Even if they die, they still want to help more living people. .”

With the end of the last shot, the crew of The First Commandment officially wrapped up.

While other people were arranging props, Lu Zhengyi was chatting with others while waiting for the materials to be exported.

"I always feel like you have something on your mind, Director Lu."

Yu Li said happily beside her.

Ever since she signed the contract with Mei Limao's crew, she is now in a better mood every day.

"Is our little brother Wang just the honest man you mentioned?"

She looked to the side, Wang Xiaoxu, who was reading the ghost story, "It's so special, but Brother Wang doesn't feel like a dead person at all, on the contrary, he looks a bit like a living person."

"Except that you can't meet, it seems to be no different from a living person."

"This is still somewhat different from the original teacher Liang."

It's his own now.

Of course Yu Li also knew about Chu, no, Mr. Liang.

It's a pity, but maybe for others, the real long sleep is the relief?

After all, whether as a human being or as a ghost, Teacher Liang's life was not so comfortable.From beginning to end, she seemed to have nothing she wanted to do.

"Yes, our little brother Wang's determination is amazing."

Zhang Yuming also echoed at the side, giving a thumbs up, "If I become a ghost, it will be 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi."

"When I was alive, people who gave me looks would have to be teased."

"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. I don't mean to kill them. I'm just teasing and scaring them."

After he bluntly revealed his inner thoughts.

The other people next to him looked over, which made him speak quickly.

Especially Lu Zhengyi's gaze made him very stressed.

Do evil, that's not okay.

I don’t know how many people like Director Lu there are in this world.

Teasing and teasing others is not evil, right?This is called a causal loop.

"……Ah ha ha."

Wang Xiaoxu, who was looking at the tablet on the table, smiled awkwardly.

When he was laughing, he didn't even dare to look at Yu Li more.

In fact, after that incident in the dressing room, Wang Xiaoxu no longer had the "fascination" with Yu Li. Instead, he was a little afraid and ashamed to see her.

Even so far, only Lu Zhengyi knows about this changing room incident.

But when he faced people, he still couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

There is a particularly shameful feeling.

Especially now that the big guys praise him for his concentration, even if he is a ghost, he can still keep his heart, which makes him very... ashamed.

Did you keep it?

Hold it, but almost miss it.

And still make mistakes to those around you.

"I rely on!"

But on the set of laughter and laughter, a word was inserted abruptly.

"Director Lu, Director Lu, look at this."

In the distance, Xiaowei, who had already done all the actors' makeup, was free, and just picked up her phone to check the news, and found some strange news.

Yes, weird.

"The Nightmare Crew actually boasted that the quality of the new movie is better than ours." She held up her phone and came towards this side, "The fan of the leading role is still stepping on our movie under those promotional notices, saying that we made it The film is simply not comparable to foreign ones.”

"What the hell?"

These words immediately attracted many people on the set.

Whether they were people waiting to finish work or people cleaning up the place, they immediately gathered around.

But Lu Zhengyi was lying very calmly on the recliner left by Taoist Guanshan, and asked: "Terror at night? That...Bai Shaoshang?"

"You know?"

Xiaowei was a little surprised.

Why is Director Lu's surfing intensity so high?
Next to him, Zhang Yuming's face looked a little unnatural.

"The recent news is not clear, after all, I have been busy filming."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "But when the fright in the night drama was announced to start, Xueming contacted me and told me."

"At that time, we actually expected that people might come and step on us, after all, it's normal operation in the entertainment industry."

"It's better to step on other people's videos and highlight your own, that's normal."

Xiaowei, who was still unbelievable at first, paused for a moment, thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the same.

It's strange that I have been in this industry for so many years, but my mentality is not as good as that of Director Lu, who has only been in the industry for two or three years.

"Laughing, his fans are stepping on us, but other people don't think so."

Because there are a lot of people gathered here, Xiaowei's mobile phone is only the size of a palm.

So the others took out their mobile phones and searched. Everyone laughed after this search.

"Look at this, Bai Shaoshang is making a horror movie? Falling in love with a female ghost?"

Bai Wei read the comment, "Female ghost, you successfully attracted my attention."

"No, no, people and ghosts cannot be together!"

"Le, he's a sweet idol drama, what's his reason for entering the horror film market? And he's doing this for the first time, so he's not afraid that he will be the next sea castle?"

As he read and read, he couldn't stretch himself.

It is really incomprehensible, the transformation is not like this, is it?

"I know a little bit about this, it should be their company's arrangement."

Lu Zhengyi interjected a few words casually, "Before, Xingyu Media has actually been in contact with our crew and has the intention of cooperation."

"But you also know that what I am most afraid of is trouble, especially now that word-of-mouth is slowly gaining, and it is basically unnecessary to consider such things as returning the cost of the works that are shot. Why should I find another investor for things that Guangying Media can handle? The company will come to the rescue."

"At that time, the interpersonal relationship and fund review will be very complicated, so I refused."

Having said that, he paused and spread his hands, "No way, I am the only director in the horror film market, plus you and a group of actors."

"Now that I don't cooperate with them, they can only shoot by themselves. This shoot is to use the company's trump card to guarantee the bottom line. After all, the number of Bai Shaoshang's fans is there. Even if passers-by don't pay the bill, the fans will pay the bill. "

"Listening to the attitude you read in the comments, some of his fans are indeed very rich, and they plan to book the venue and buy scalpers at high prices."

Yu Li: ...

Zhang Yuming: ...

Crowd: ...

"It seems that you are surprised, the current market is like this."

Chang Zhengwei, as a senior in the entertainment industry, is very experienced, "Although, everyone can see that the quality of the films performed by some traffic stars is not good, but why are there so many people making them? I really like to waste money Lidiu? Actually no, they will definitely be rewarded."

"As fans, when they watch movies, they actually have a fan filter for the people they like."

"Even if it's a movie with a bad plot, as long as it's acted by that person, they think... hey, it's obviously well shot, why no one watches it, etc. Guaranteed ratings, broadcast volume, The box office... it's all there."

As he spoke, he groped his chin, "It's a bit like asking for traffic. His number of fans is the guaranteed box office, and it can even be higher. After all, there are really a lot of fans like booking, second-brush, and third-brush."

"Besides, among their fan groups, if they want to 'pass the test' and truly label them as 'XX fans', it seems that some of them have rigid consumption indicators, and they must give the star's peripherals, endorsed products, film and television products every month. It looks like how much money the work contributes."

"But at the same time, celebrities will occasionally send some benefits to these true 'fans', chatting with them, eating and so on."

A young man like Yu Li was dumbfounded.

"Is this the entrance fee?"

She hesitated and asked, "Treat the fandom as a guild."

As an actor who has only filmed two online dramas and one movie, she has not come into contact with anyone in this field for the time being, or in other words, no one she is particularly familiar with.

After all, they all involve consumption indicators, which are mostly confidential or similar to hidden rules.

I won’t say it out loud, but it’s a hint.

The consumption intensity in the group is fixed every month, and those who do not meet the standard will be kicked out. After a long time, although this rule is not clear, everyone knows it.

"Sounds familiar."

At this time, Wang Xiaoxu interjected, "When I was doing game operations, I also had some hidden rules for high-V players."

"Especially in some idol-raising games, if the player recharges to a certain amount, there will be an exclusive customer service channel, and sometimes the voice actor who voices the character in the game will be arranged to call them to greet them."

"Such as wake-up calls, birthday parties, etc., and there will also be offline meet-ups from time to time. These are things only high-V players know about. Ordinary players don't even know about this. I remember about It must look like you can start with a few hundred thousand recharges.”

Hundreds of thousands……

Everyone was silent.

Then this money is much easier to earn than filming or something, just like illegal collection of X.

No, people consume through regular channels.

"Okay, let's touch it."

Bai Wei was very indifferent, "I don't think our film will be worse than theirs."

"If horror films can have good works, they would have already been, and they will get them in that round."

"Director Lu, will we win?"

But in the end, he still asked Lu Zhengyi.

"win?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously, "That depends on the definition of winning."

"If we talk about word-of-mouth, then we should win. Although there is no comparison yet, I still have confidence in the film The First Commandment."

"But if it's box office, then I can't guarantee it."

He only hopes that if his fans have the ability, it is enough to contribute a movie ticket to himself.

There is no need to overspend to prove something.

Who makes more money as a director?No, in Lu Zhengyi's case, the comparison is about whose work is better, it is word of mouth and evaluation.

"There's no way we can't sell them."

Bai Wei couldn't believe it, "Could it be possible that his fans can still reserve the theaters on the day of the premiere in all theaters across the country?"

"It's really possible."

Ever since we started talking about this topic, Zhang Yuming, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly interjected, "As a fan of Bai Shaoshang, it's really possible."

"how?"

Yu Li looked at him strangely, "Do you understand?"

"hold head high."

Zhang Yuming smiled wryly, "He came from the same draft stage as me, but he was the champion, and I was eliminated without even passing the first round."

Hearing what he said, everyone remembered.

Yes, Zhang Yuming also worked in talent shows before and almost became an idol star.

"Our draft stage back then was eliminated by voting."

Zhang Yuming explained, "The program group will arrange a series of daily, stage, and even some other variety shows for us for a period of one or two months."

"And during this period of time, the audience will rely on the stars they see on the show, choose the person they like, and consume for him."

"The way of voting is not like before, just make a phone call and spend some airtime. Instead, you have to really spend money. A ticket costs 50 yuan. At that time, his fans spent 1000 to [-] million for him. Got a championship."

As he said that, he asked a question, "Do you know how many fans he had at that time? The total number of fans on each platform is about 300 million."

"At the beginning, more than 300 million fans spent 1000 or 3000 million for him. Now he has more than [-] million or even more fans. I think... at the box office, we may not be able to win. After all, the fans are real. It was made of gold and silver."

Having said that, the faces of the others were not as sure as before.

After all, that's how people got their way, and it all depends on fans spending money.

If you make a movie and continue to smash the box office, it may not be comparable.
