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

Chapter 175 [What do you want to choose]

[According to relevant sources, Director Lu Zhengyi’s new film has been submitted for review. With Director Lu’s efficiency, this film should not be delayed until next year and is expected to be released in December at the latest! 】

[The crew of Nightmare Nightmare issued a message overnight, announcing that it will be finalized soon! 】

【#夜之error may be launched at the same time as The First Commandment! #As the editor had predicted before, the crew of Nightmare has been preparing for production since it was finalized and reviewed. Perhaps they are waiting for Lu Zhengyi’s new film. In fact, as the editor predicted, there are two films of the same type. , may be released at the same time and compete on the same stage! 】

[Although Lu Zhengyi is well-known in the horror film category, after all, the other party is Liu Yujing, a veteran director who has been in the industry for decades, and there is almost no comparison between the two parties in terms of casts. Anyone with a discerning eye can actually see the result. Gotta come out. 】

[Zhang Yuming’s identity was discovered in the past. He once competed with Bai Shaoshang from the cast of Nightmare and was eliminated! 】

……

The post-processing of the First Commandment was not delayed too much.

In early November, the film was sent to censorship by Lu Zhengyi.

At the same time, the bundled marketing of this film and Nightmare has been mentioned again and again.

Just like in many hot searches, when a female star is praised for her good-looking appearance today, there will always be another one at the back for comparison.

Those marketing accounts don't even need to compare too much in the copywriting, they just need to add a few pictures and ask, 'Who has a better look? ', 'Who is strong and who is weak? '... and other questions, fans on both sides of the comment section below will naturally start to argue.

Then, if the two studios did not intervene to maintain the situation and the quarrel intensified, many fans would gradually lose their way from the aspect of 'comparison'.

It is extremely common to directly carry out personal attacks, or to expose negative information.

And Zhang Yuming was the one who was raped.

"A certain company is taking advantage of the popularity to engage in marketing. Can you please stop taking advantage of our Shao Shangjun?"

"Those who were defeated a few years ago, I don't know what's the use of jumping out now."

"Are the two comparable?"

"Let me tell you something, the movie directed by Liu Yujing was the one I watched since I was a kid. Lu Zhengyi? Who is it?"

"I did a clip of Xiao Zhang's performance on the first stage. How can someone who can't be an idol become an actor? It makes me laugh so hard."

In addition to some written expressions, they also took screenshots of Zhang Yuming's performance on his debut variety show, adjusted the skin color, adjusted the black and white background, and added red words such as "Loser", "Hype Dog", and "Underhand Man". '...and some other tags to make a growth chart.

These contents will be used as weapons for attack by them.

They will search for the name 'Zhang Yuming' on Weibo and keep reading similar entries in the real-time messages that pop up.

They believe that this kind of massacre in the square will affect the judgment of passers-by and other fans about Zhang Yuming.

In fact, they feel that this kind of behavior can encourage others to boycott the actor.

Fans don't know who is behind all this marketing, and they don't know whether The First Commandment is tying up Nightmare, or whether Nightmare is tying up The First Commandment.

They are just carrying out activities according to the rules of the fan circle.

"It's too bad, Xiao Ming."

Beidu,

antique street,
According to the agreed time, Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming both took time to buy gifts for each other's future elders.

But after meeting, they didn't talk about gifts.

There is no other way. When they wake up in the morning, all kinds of marketing are flooding in, and it is difficult for them to ignore it.

"It's not bad."

Listening to Zhang Xueming's words, Lu Zhengyi walked forward and explained, "Xiao Ming seems to be quite happy, he finally has a black fan."

"When he woke up and looked at the group chat messages in the morning, he said enthusiastically that this was the most attention he had received since his debut."

"Yu Li also told me in private that she planned to go to his house to see him. His mood should be stable."

He was wearing a black shirt today and a pair of brand new high-top shoes on his feet.

The coat was not worn because it was too hot, but hung directly on the arm.

Zhang Xueming looked at his clothes from the back and smiled unconsciously.

She followed his footsteps and walked side by side with a surprised look on her face and said:

"Is that so? I thought Xiao Ming was the kind of impulsive, passionate, and innocent boy."

"I didn't expect that my ability to endure is so good?"

"Now those fans who were led by marketing accounts have almost all gone to him."

Logically speaking, this is the battle between the First Commandment and Night Terror.

It’s a confrontation between two crews.

But in fact, Lu Zhengyi and the rest of the crew simply ignored these rhythmic marketing accounts, and no one responded.

In this case, the confused fans who drew their swords and looked around could only find one person to vent their anger to.

It was discovered that Zhang Yuming, who had debuted in the same show as Bai Shaoshang but was eliminated in the preliminary round, was undoubtedly the best choice and the softest persimmon.

"After all, Xiao Ming climbed up bit by bit from the lowest level."

Lu Zhengyi thought for a moment, "If it were Yu Li, she would probably not be able to bear being attacked like this."

"Don't talk about this kind of online, you don't even know who is on the other side of the network cable. When Xiao Ming was working as a bit player in various major production crews, he didn't even know how many times he was scolded offline face to face. He has long been used to it."

"Of course, it may be that he is very confident in our new film."

Fearlessness is more likely because you believe in the First Commandment.

"Do you know about fishing?"

Lu Zhengyi turned on his phone and showed the content on the screen to Zhang Xueming, "It's like this, the same picture with different text."

"One paragraph is 'The boy opposite has a really good figure' and the other is 'The girl opposite has a really good figure'. It is a public opinion experiment conducted by sending out the messages at two different times."

“During this process, countless people will abuse the fisherman, but in fact, the fishermen who have been prepared from the beginning will not care about it at all. Instead, these abusive people will announce the results at the end. Sometimes it’s like…”

Zhang Xueming followed his thoughts, "Clown."

"more or less."

Lu Zhengyi nodded and took back his phone, "These two things may seem a little different, but they are essentially the same."

"From Xiao Ming's point of view, he knows very well that we are not doing marketing bundling, but others are maliciously setting the pace."

"Also, he is very confident in our film. In this case, all we have to do is wait patiently for the results."

That is to say, two films were released.

No, not right.

They don't seem to regard the Nightmare as an enemy that can compete on the same stage.

At least Lu Zhengyi doesn't have it here.

Zhang Xueming listened silently.

After a long while, she sighed helplessly, "Sigh... When I saw the news in the morning, I originally thought that I would have some opportunities to perform."

After all, when faced with cyber violence, most people basically just get caught without help.

Even many people in the entertainment industry will feel a little uncomfortable facing this kind of pressure from public opinion.

But judging from Lu Zhengyi's current performance, neither he nor the rest of the crew seemed to need her help at all.

"After all, we have more important things to do, don't we?" Lu Zhengyi slowly stopped in front of a shabby-looking bookstore, "As you said before, most of the ancient books and paintings are genuine. , is this it?”

……

Late at night, Lu Zhengyi walked to the parking lot carrying large and small bags.

Next to him, Zhang Xueming followed closely, wearing the coat he had held in his hand when they met in the morning.

"Since the gifts are ready, the meeting time should be set in three days, right?"

Lu Zhengyi asked while putting various things on the trunk, "First meet your parents, and then meet my parents."

"If everything goes well, we can officially announce the news when The First Commandment is released."

"As for getting married, we can wait until it is released and find a time to complete it."

It's like going through a task process.

They completed the things that had been roughly decided when negotiating the contract one by one.

"can."

Zhang Xueming nodded and got into the passenger seat.

She fastened her seat belt skillfully and waited for Lu Zhengyi, who had put his luggage, to get in the car.

During the whole process, Zhang Xueming's expression was unconsciously in a daze.

It’s hard to imagine that I’m about to get married.

I originally thought that I would have to wait until I was at least 40 or [-] before I would consider it, but I didn’t expect that I would achieve it accidentally.

After Lu Zhengyi got into the car and started the car, the car fell silent.

Zhang Xueming's eyes looked through the windshield unblinkingly at the road ahead.

"Want to buy some late-night snacks on the way home?"

Lu Zhengyi asked before entering the road from the parking lot.

"I, I don't have the habit of eating late night snacks."

Suddenly being spoken to, Zhang Xueming, who was stunned, nervously refused, but after a pause, she changed her words, "But... let's buy some fried chicken and beer at a nearby mall."

She felt that Lu Zhengyi might need it.

After all, when the two of them dine together, the other person always eats a lot.

"it is good."

Lu Zhengyi changed the address originally located at his home to a nearby shopping mall. "You can first check to see which late night snack bars in the shopping mall are more famous and have better reviews, so as not to get scammed."

Zhang Xueming, who was still looking nervously at the road ahead, picked up her mobile phone and searched for a list of food stores in the mall.

"It seems like there are negative reviews."

She said while looking at her phone.

When you open the comment section of almost every store, there are more or less negative reviews.

It doesn't taste good, the portions aren't big, the price is too expensive, etc.

"That's for sure. There's no such thing as a perfect store."

Lu Zhengyi laughed, "Just find some that have much more positive reviews than negative reviews."

"By the way, those stores with good reviews that look very standard may be fake."

"But you must be more familiar with this than me."

Mentioning this, Zhang Xueming's expression slowly calmed down, "Although the industries are different, the speaking skills are basically the same."

"This store probably has good reviews. Hey, this store seems to be good. The latest reviews look like real user feedback."

"Look here."

She pushed the phone screen towards Lu Zhengyi.

But when his hand was in mid-air, he paused.

"I'm driving, Xueming."

Lu Zhengyi noticed her pause and spoke at the right time, "Can you read it to me?"

"Ah, ah, uh-huh."

Zhang Xueming quickly took the phone back, "This is, well, the fried chicken tastes very good. It's crispy and crispy when you bite it, and there is chicken juice overflowing from the crispy skin. It's a bit like Dirk's pistol legs. .”

"Oh, my mouth is watering just listening to this."

Lu Zhengyi wiped the non-existent saliva from his mouth and replied with a smile, "Then this one."

While he was talking, the car had already found an empty space and stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall.

"Want to go shopping together?" Lu Zhengyi asked while unbuckling his seat belt.

"No, I can't. I've been shopping all day today and I'm a little tired."

Zhang Xueming quickly replied.

During the day, I didn’t feel anything.

But now night is falling, and according to their plan, tonight...or in the next few days, she will stay at Lu Zhengyi's house.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although Zhang Xueming has always been very calm in this regard, and even took the initiative to propose marriage.

"……All right."

Lu Zhengyi got out of the car regretfully.

It wasn't until his back left the field of vision that Zhang Xueming slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

From a business perspective, marriage is a matter of promoting each other's careers.

You can think about it in terms of life...

Sitting quietly in the car, Zhang Xueming didn't look at her phone or do anything else. She just sat blankly in the passenger seat.

Lu Zhengyi's home will be used as their wedding room.

And now that marriage is considered, living together is a matter of course.

Tonight, she will start her first day of trial living.

Although Zhang Xueming had been a guest at Lu Zhengyi's home before, but now that he was going as the host, the feeling was completely different.

"boom!"

It wasn't until the sound of the car door being opened that she woke up.

Immediately afterwards, the smell of fried chicken hit my face.

“The situation in the store is even hotter than those reviews online.”

Lu Zhengyi put the plastic bag containing the fried chicken box and a box of beer on the back seat. By the way, there was also a bag containing various daily necessities. "By the way, I also bought you some toothpaste and shower gel." , shampoo, towels and the like.”

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhang Xueming replied gratefully.

"Too polite."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head helplessly, sat down and restarted the car, "Actually, when I asked you if you wanted to go together, I was quite looking forward to it."

"Ok?"

Zhang Xueming turned her head in confusion.

"Occasionally, I think so sometimes."

Lu Zhengyi replied while reversing the car, "I spent the evening with my future wife watching a movie in the living room during my day off."

"Suddenly, you said you were hungry, and then I said let's go out and buy something to eat."

"After we paused the movie halfway through, we just put on a coat on our pajamas, then casually put on two pairs of slippers, and drove to a nearby barbecue restaurant, porridge restaurant, fried chicken restaurant and other places to buy some. night snack."

His tone of voice was very soft, as if he was telling a bedtime story, "We stood at the counter and waited together, chatting about the follow-up content of the movie. After getting the supper, we hurried home, while Open the late night snack and continue to put down the movie you just paused."

"It's a very common thought, but I think about it from time to time."

Zhang Xueming did not interrupt and listened silently.

The tension and unnaturalness on her face gradually let go.

In his mind, some fragments began to appear as he told it.

"As expected of a director, with just a few words, the sense of picture and life suddenly came into being." Zhang Xueming raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror, then glanced at the fried chicken lying quietly on the back seat. Box, "It's a life I didn't imagine, but it sounds pretty good."

How could she, a person who likes to run to the company on her days off, have such a fantasy?

But listening to Lu Zhengyi’s words, it seems...

not bad.

Zhang Xueming smiled unconsciously.

Lu Zhengyi, who was concentrating on talking, looked away from the co-pilot and back to the road in front of him, "Well, it's really not bad. After working for a long time, there is such a smooth and flowing life, and I feel that some things are complete."

"I feel like I should have gotten out of the car and gone shopping with you just now."

Zhang Xueming was also a little regretful.

"Ha, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile.

The car was speeding on the road, but the atmosphere inside the car was no longer as stiff as before.

……

“You don’t have to get out of the car, Ayong is at home, just honk the horn.

After returning home, looking at Zhang Xueming who was about to get out of the car and open the iron gate outside the courtyard, Lu Zhengyi reminded, "If I am in Beidu, Ayong is usually at home. If you go home, just honk the car horn." That’s it.”

Zhang Xueming nodded.

Sure enough, after the horn sounded, the iron gate in front opened automatically under the control of A Yong inside the house.

"This is not the first time you have come to my house. The interior is very crude and has no atmosphere of life at all."

Lu Zhengyi drove the car into the courtyard and parked it. While handing some lighter things to Zhang Xueming to carry, he said, "But I didn't regard this place as a real home before, just a place where I can live." place."

What kind of home is it if you don’t live here for eight or nine months of the year?

Compared to this small villa, the set is more like his home.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just add things later."

Zhang Xueming carried the midnight snack in one hand and the bag containing daily necessities in the other hand and walked towards the house first.

But just after she took a few steps out, she quickly stepped back.

"Ah, Ayi, there seems to be someone else in your family."

she said quietly.

"Ok?"

Lu Zhengyi, who was still taking out the gifts he bought in the trunk, stood up straight and looked into the distance.

A dark figure was hurriedly running towards this side from the door.

"It's Wang Xiaoxu."

Lu Zhengyi replied softly, but his tone was somewhat helpless.

Really, can’t we leave some separate space for young men and women who are about to get married?
"Eh?"

Zhang Xueming's eyesight was not as good as Lu Zhengyi's, and it wasn't until he ran closer that he recognized who the figure was.

"Director Lu, something happened."

Wang Xiaoxu felt a little anxious.

"Yeah, let's go inside first."

In fact, the moment he saw Wang Xiaoxu running over in a hurry, Lu Zhengyi knew that something must have happened to his family.

Two people and one ghost entered the house.

The smell of fried chicken gradually filled the living room.

Wang Xiaoxu explained the reason why he came here with an anxious look.

And Xiao Zhongyong was sitting on the table, gnawing on the chicken legs.

A scalding hot chicken leg came to his mouth and he swallowed it in one bite. Not to mention the chicken and juice, even the bones were chewed up and swallowed.

In the blink of an eye, a box bottomed out.

And just now, although Zhang Xueming said that she was not in the habit of eating late night snacks, listening to the crunching sound and smelling the fragrance, her stomach had been growling for a long time, and her mouth was also full of oil.

Fortunately, Lu Zhengyi had an idea of ​​how much his family would eat and bought a lot.

"So, you want me to help persuade your parents to stop arguing with your old employer?" Lu Zhengyi listened for a long time, understood, and looked even more helpless, "You actually let people know about this kind of thing. Just make a phone call.”

"...I'm sorry, because I really can't find anyone to entrust."

Wang Xiaoxu said awkwardly.

Because he couldn't touch the entity, he needed to rely on the power of living people.

So he tried to contact other friends from his lifetime.

For example, brothers in the dormitory.

But it's still the same situation. Looking at living people from a ghost's perspective, Wang Xiaoxu can see many things that he couldn't see in life.

Family, brothers...

In fact, I don’t fully understand them.

Under this situation, Wang Xiaoxu didn't know whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing if he used his ability to appear in front of them.

After struggling for a few days, I finally decided to come all the way back to find Director Lu.

"But why do you want to persuade your parents not to go against your old club?"

Zhang Xueming, who was sitting next to Lu Zhengyi, holding up a piece of middle wing with both hands and nibbling on it, interrupted, "They did something wrong in this matter, didn't they?"

"But, they can't win if they sue."

Wang Xiaoxu lowered his head.

"Indeed, there is a problem with the direction. It is obviously impossible for one person to bring down the entire company and cause thousands of people to lose their jobs." Zhang Xueming used the gnawed chicken bones as a baton and shook it in his hand. "But this matter definitely needs to have someone responsible, rather than just saying we have to pay for it."

As she said that, she turned her gaze to Wang Xiaoxu, who had his head lowered, "Who do you think should be responsible for this matter?"

Lu Zhengyi, who was about to speak, stopped and silently followed Xiao Zhongyong, who was eating fried chicken, drinking beer, and watching the show.

"Group, group leader?"

Wang Xiaoxu stood there stammering, "But the team leader actually...actually he also has a family."

"It seems that you still understand. Even though he knows that you have a lot of work, he still keeps pushing work to you, doesn't he?" Zhang Xueming emphasized this point, "Although you didn't refuse, But as a leader or a manager, if the work is not distributed evenly and an employee dies suddenly, he must be held responsible."

"So now, what Ayi needs help is not to persuade your parents not to go against the company, but to help them clarify their thinking and arrange for a more powerful lawyer to negotiate, and strive for a better outcome while holding the team leader responsible. A large amount of compensation would be best if it would allow the company to apologize to your family."

"If you are angry, you can swallow it yourself, that's no problem. But you can't let your family members swallow their anger and grievances. They need to vent them."

Wang Xiaoxu stood there, a little at a loss.

In fact, he really didn't think it mattered.

For him, there seems to be no essential difference between being dead and alive.

He just thought that it would be enough for his family to receive the compensation from the company and live a better life as a family. As for revenge, prosecution, etc., he really didn't think too much about it.

"Sigh... A good old man can be annoying to others if he is good to a certain extent."

The way Zhang Xueming looked at him, she could probably guess what she was thinking, "In short, do you want the people around you to be harmed, or do you want people outside who you don't know well to be harmed?"

"There is no right or wrong in this matter."

"The current situation is that your family needs to vent, otherwise they will hold back their illness. From what you just mentioned, this has already affected the family's relationship. But once it is vented, your team leader's family should It will collapse. So, what do you want to choose?"

She sat on the sofa and asked coldly.

Beside him, Lu Zhengyi slowly showed a smile in his eyes, staring straight at Zhang Xueming.

I really want to recruit her into the crew as a secretary, assistant or something like that.

Of course, this is just a thought.
