[Although the editor really wanted to go to the theater to support Director Lu's premiere, due to work reasons, he didn't have time to go to the theater to watch the movie until today.However, when I opened the ticket purchase platform today, I discovered something very interesting. During the premiere, I also opened the ticket purchase platform and took a quick look at the ticket purchase situation. At that time, the number of tickets purchased for the uncut version was The number of tickets purchased for the abridged version was three times as high, but now on the 20th, the situation is completely reversed.

[The unabridged version of #curse is temporarily off the shelves! #魔grudge may not have the chance to compete for the October theater box office rankings...]

……

Recently, Lu Zhengyi has been staying in Heguo because he is busy with overseas market affairs.

As for the comments from domestic audiences, he did not have time to pay attention.

He is not worried about poor domestic box office results.

This is the confidence of being the first director in Tang Dynasty to win an award for a horror film.

In fact, Lu Zhengyi's confidence did not disappoint him.

October [-]st is a good day.

In addition to The Grudge , there were seven more movies released on that day.

Among them, they include action movies, police and gangster movies, romance movies, science fiction movies...

Each of these films has a relatively outstanding score in terms of cast, director's ability, investment... these options, thus winning the competition of the same type, and finally getting the opportunity to be scheduled for release at this festival. .

In this scene of gods fighting, The Grudge, a niche horror film, ranked third. It can be said that it exceeded the expectations of everyone in the industry.

Currently, the number one movie at the box office in October is a high-quality patriotic drama. On this holiday, it is natural that it should be number one, and no one will question it.

The second-ranked film is Xianyue, a historical war film with an investment of more than [-] billion, shot by a great director, movie king, and queens, and took several years to post-process. No one will question it either.

But what about No.3?A horror movie.

For a film that took less than a year to shoot, and even though it had an excellent cast, it didn't even have [-] million in filming funding, how could it be ranked third?
It goes without saying that no one will question the quality of Lu Zhengyi's horror films.

But no matter how strong his directing ability is and how excellent his crew is, as long as it is still a niche genre of horror films, it is impossible to win in a battle with other types of films of the same quality.

This has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, but the impression of the world.

Horror films are a niche culture, and there are only a handful of people who can win awards through horror films.

But now this understanding has been broken in the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, this momentum has been blocked.

"Blocked?"

As soon as he returned to Tang State, Lu Zhengyi was dragged to the company by Zhang Xueming before he could even return home.

But compared to her sitting behind the desk, working hard.

He seemed very relaxed.

": Anyway, this movie is still a bit... unacceptable."

": Although I know it's just a movie and the plot is not difficult to understand, the straightforward visual effects make it impossible for me to stop fantasizing in my mind."

": My home is an old-fashioned community with no elevator. When I went up the stairs yesterday afternoon, it was a little dark at the top of the stairs. When I looked at the stairs going upstairs, I actually thought of a curse! I felt a sense of gloom when I pinched it. It feels like the coconuts will crawl down from the top."

": I can't tell what makes me uncomfortable, but I couldn't get over it for a long time after watching it."

": After watching the movie, I didn’t dare to be alone during this period of time. I even had to turn on all the lights at home. Even if I was just sitting in the living room and casually glanced at the dark bedroom without turning on the lights, I felt... Someone is standing in the dark looking at me."

": Kayako can crawl out from anywhere!"

": It is recommended that friends who have seen the old corpse in the mountain village watch the Grudge with caution. This is the same type of ghost!"

The whole person was lying on the sofa, and the sofa creaked under the weight of his burly body.

Lu Zhengyi held his head with one hand and scrolled through his phone with the other hand.

"How can this be blocked? This is giving me extra points."

While scrolling through the content on his phone, he said to Zhang Xueming who was preparing documents for the meeting opposite, "Hey, this award is much more powerful than the Newcomer Director Award at the beginning of the year. It contains a lot of gold."

"But with these current comments, the domestic audience is indeed a little unable to adapt to Grudge, and the intensity was suddenly raised too high."

"But I feel that maybe the Japanese side will also..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Hey, hey, stop talking. Now I seriously doubt your ability to follow your words." Zhang Xueming quickly stopped Lu Zhengyi, "Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, we have enough things to do. Let's do more. It’s big news, and Guangying really doesn’t have the energy to deal with it.”

As she said that, she stood up and said, "Vice President Lin has already gone over to talk to the State Administration of Film and Television, and we should be able to preserve the abridged version."

"As for me, I still have to go to a meeting to discuss the expansion of theater chains and sell the screening rights."

"There are quite a few partners who have contacted us. I may have to work overtime at night. If you are tired, you can go home first. I will have someone take me back later."

She spoke quickly and her tone was relatively urgent.

Although most of the time, Zhang Xueming's mentality is quite stable.

For example, in many cooperation projects with a capital chain of over [-] million yuan, she can accept them without changing her face even if the talks are unpleasant.

But at this moment, she was a little anxious.

It's not because of Grudge being banned, but because of the activity of overseas audiences.

Whether it is the East or the West, there are some things in common when it comes to horror and horror.

The film made by my husband may have captured this commonality, so that people can still accept the film "The Grudge" despite growing up in different regions and accepting different cultures.

Perhaps, overseas development can really succeed, and success will come much faster than I expected.

The name Light and Shadow will return to its former glory.

In fact, it will go higher and further in its own hands and become a real behemoth!
"Can I use your computer?" Lu Zhengyi sat upright on the sofa, "I mean, take a look at your internal working conditions."

"The computer password is my birthday."

Zhang Xueming held the tablet in her hand and said without hesitation, "But don't use my account to send messages. If you want to participate in the work, you can use my administrative rights to invite you to enter the internal system and then speak." .”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft 'bang' sound, and the office fell into silence.

She didn't even give him time to respond.

Looking at the quiet office, Lu Zhengyi stood up from the sofa.

He first walked to the door, opened it and looked at the situation outside.

"Ayu, send me the statistics of Dazhong.com!"

"We haven't finished counting yet! We still have 10,000+ comments here!"

"Don't read them all, don't read them all! How many times have I said, under special circumstances, you don't need to read all the comments, just filter the keywords and make a rough statistics!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I still have thousands of emails with cooperation intentions in the backend. Can anyone help me deal with them? And why doesn't the legal department reply to my messages? Can someone come over there and take a look? look!"

"There's no one left, there's no one left! People have to keep an eye on the data on the external network too!"

"Quiet, I'm sorry, please say..."

The office area outside was in chaos.

This scene reminded Lu Zhengyi of some unpleasant workplace memories.

He closed the door silently, and all of a sudden, that memory was cut off.

"This is the end of the matter, let's eat first."

Lu Zhengyi came to Zhang Xueming's workstation and sat down.

Then, he turned on the computer.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Then, a series of messages popped up from the lower right corner.

Lu Zhengyi frowned and clicked on the message box.

"Here, why did a film and television post-production project in my hand just stop? It's less than a week away from the delivery date!"

"Please, now that something has happened to our company's biological son project, we don't have time to take care of other things."

"Many viewers have come to ask when the uncut version will be released and what to do about this."

"The official news shall prevail, the official news shall prevail! Just use the retelling as a repeater. They ask us, but we don't know the situation!"

"Anyone who knows someone at Dadi Cinema in Huadi Fortune Plaza in Sichuan City cannot get through the contact information left there. Some users who booked tickets in advance reported that they could not get a refund after ordering them. There are currently 36 tickets and the number is still there. Continued to increase……"

It’s not just Zhang Xueming’s project group four.

Most of the entire Light and Shadow staff are currently working on the Grudge project.

Although for Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming, the film being banned may be a good thing that can be used for marketing and expanding their popularity.

But for employees, it's probably a bad thing.

For an Internet company, it is most basic to have a certain degree of control over the trend of the Internet.

Otherwise, so-called marketing accidents often occur, that is, "XX game operation is in the announcement for Yin Yang players", "XX company has found a good celebrity to endorse", "Hua Xixi is really cheap..." 'That kind of thing.

This is the beginning of inaccurate network data control and errors.

After the wrong influence occurred, public opinion fermented due to insufficient control. This is the follow-up.

Therefore, as a qualified Internet company and a company in the media sector, Light and Shadow Media needs to be on the front line of Internet surfing in real time, especially for content related to the company's projects, and it needs to be understood immediately.

But the sudden expansion of the Grudge's popularity suddenly broke through the scope that could still be controlled.

Now on the Internet, how do netizens evaluate this wave of "unabridged version" being released? Are more people understanding, more people ridiculing, or more people supporting... These data, they Not sure.

In addition, there are various extended issues, such as cooperation with friends, refunds for pre-ordered users, and inquiries about whether it can be re-released...

'If you want to expand, it's not enough to have a good enough work, the size of the ship under your feet must also be able to bear it. '

Lu Zhengyi used Zhang Xueming's account and looked at everyone's workload in the internal operations of the entire lighting company, and made a decision in his mind.

He plans to shoot his next film in China first.

Of course, he had already considered this matter before.

If you hate Xiao Huo, then go to Heguo to make another film and pursue the victory.

But if it becomes a big hit, I will settle down first and return to China to make the movie that was previously planned but shelved.

[Lu Zhengyi has joined the group chat]

[There are currently several entries on the Internet. Please pay attention to them: 'Horror films are not malicious to scare people', 'Resist vulgar horror films', 'Videos must have connotation'... We will not deal with these entries for the time being. Please contact us for correspondence. The website will be cold-processed and the content will not be pushed to the public screen. 】

[In addition, arrange manpower to go out to handle refund issues.It only takes one person to take photos in one area. Compared with online communication, which is time-consuming, laborious and labor-intensive, offline communication will be processed faster and more efficiently.The company will reimburse relevant expenses. This time the field work is considered a special situation, and the bonus will be doubled. 】

……

Within a large enterprise, there is a separate chat system.

After Lu Zhengyi invited himself into the internal system through Zhang Xueming's account, he pointed out several of the more serious problems.

Refunding users in a timely manner to avoid elevating the situation to industrial and commercial complaints, which involves legal aspects, is naturally a big deal.

In addition, those malicious rhythms on the Internet must of course be coordinated as soon as possible.

There are many famous people, and now the reputation of Grudge is not only in Tang Dynasty, but also extended to the entire East Continent. I don't know how many people in the entertainment industry are jealous of this.

Statements such as 'horror films are not meant to scare people with malicious intent', 'horror films should have connotations'... may sound reasonable, but in reality, someone is setting the pace with malicious intent.

If a horror movie isn't scary, why should it be touching?
