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

Chapter 354 [New Year’s Eve]

Taoist Guanshan said he would handle the matter.

Lu Zhengyi didn't have to do anything here, even the basic questioning and taking notes. As soon as the ship arrived at the port, others were still going through customs and inspection one after another, but they had already left first.

By the time they said goodbye to Yu Li and others and returned to Beidu, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

This trip...

Not pleasant.

Lu Zhengyi felt that he owed his wife a little.

When I was pregnant, I had already done a bad job by not providing enough companionship. As a result, now she went all the way there and took the initiative to accompany me on a trip to relax, but it was ruined by a big octopus again.

Since then, Zhang Xueming has been somewhat silent and not very interested.

"Sorry, let's find a chance to hang out next time."

Regarding what happened at sea, it was not a special case in the Southern Dynasties, but the norm.

Lu Zhengyi turned his head blankly, "Aren't you very disappointed?"

Not only the value of this IP itself, but also Lu Zhengyi’s name and Zhou Jie’s name have been on the hot search list of the Southern Dynasty again and again due to various things, occupying a huge amount of community resource.

Isn't this a sign of disappointment in the journey?
Did he guess wrong?

"It's okay, actually this trip..."

"...fun?"

But then, Zhang Xueming talked about work again, "What you should consider now is whether Fu Jiang's movie can still be released in the Southern Dynasties? We should have offended them if this happened. Bar."

In terms of pure traffic, the film has not yet been released, but it has already been successful.

It can be seen from the fact that the Southern Dynasty kept silent after learning the facts and did not send personnel to pursue the cruise ship. It can be seen that they have no intention of making the matter a big deal. It should be said that they do not even have the idea of ​​​​making the matter a stalemate.

"I thought about this before doing anything."

That day, Zhang Xueming did not close her eyes.

Not only on the boat, but also on the plane after returning, she was very silent.

Those financial groups would naturally not be willing.

But if there is no way to start selling this batch of goods, then the money that has already been in your pocket will fly away.

They occupy the economic lifeline of various fields in this country. If they can work together to exert pressure, they can sometimes even change some national-level decisions.

She was content and happy.

She witnessed the scene where the other party jumped up high with her in his arms and trampled the huge octopus under his feet.

In just a few days, Master Guanshan gave a clear reply that the movie could continue to be released, but Lu Zhengyi was restricted from entering the country.

This journey is definitely a novel and special experience for Zhang Xueming.

Zhang Xueming looked at him doubtfully, "No, I was just wondering if he would be as powerful as you."

This time, although Fu Jiang's movie has not been released yet, it is already very popular in the Southern Dynasties.

This is not superstition, after all, there are really some special beings in this world.

"So many promotional materials have been sent out, and all the money has been spent. If the movie is not released, those consortiums in the Southern Dynasty will probably be more anxious than us." Lu Zhengyi smiled and replied, "On their side, money can After deciding a lot of things, even though the 'Dragon Prince' is gone, they won't give up money just for the sake of face."

"But I feel like you're focusing too much on me."

In the Southern Dynasties, although the consortium cannot be said to have a single say, it has a great say.

This time, although she didn't ask Lu Zhengyi any more questions, she could actually get a rough idea of ​​many things just by standing and looking.

Lu Zhengyi said apologetically while taking down the suitcase from the car, "Otherwise, just this period of time? Otherwise, it will be inconvenient when the belly grows in the next few months."

To be more precise, a batch of goods has just been purchased. Although the sales have not yet started, all investors involved can predict the future sales volume, and it is already a profitable business.

This kind of adventurous experience is something that people living in modern cities may not experience once in their lifetime.

As she spoke, she touched her belly.

"Lost...lost?"

In addition, she has also been thinking about whether the baby in her belly will be like Lu Zhengyi.

Although the process was somewhat dangerous, how could she feel panic when her husband was by her side.

In fact, Lu Zhengyi's estimate is quite accurate.

But now, the patron saint of the waters of the Southern Dynasty was kicked to pieces by them.

If we reach a consensus with that big octopus, maybe he can really protect the safety of fishermen at sea.

Similar sacrifices seem to be carried out every once in a while. Under the instruction of the senior officials there, this is a tacit approval - for the sake of good weather.

However, Zhang Xueming stood beside him with a look of unfinished expression on his face, "It's quite fun."

She would never forget this scene for the rest of her life.

"Besides, if there is still a Taoist priest, they can handle the matter properly."

"Huh? Restrict entry?"

Meitanuki Studio, in the editing room,
Xu Feng frowned, "Doesn't that mean that this is the only one available?"

You invest so much, but you only get one chance to make a movie?

"Actually...it doesn't have much impact on me."

Lu Zhengyi sat across from the long table and responded casually, "Our purpose of exploring overseas markets, exposure and acceptance are our priority."

"It doesn't mean that the filming location of the film must be in the Southern Dynasties to be considered as entering their market."

"In fact, we have already done this. Our crew has already made an impression in the hearts of the people in the Southern Dynasties. This is actually enough."

Competition in the cultural and entertainment market does not seem like a real battlefield.

There is a substantial ground that needs to be conquered, and they need to actually go to their territory and wield swords and guns. The battlefield lies in people's hearts, their memories and thoughts.

Just like now, although Lu Zhengyi was shooting in the Southern Dynasty, he did not give up on the market in the Republic of China.

Even though the Chinese film and television industry banned him and his team.

But in people's hearts, his works and his name have long been remembered and known by many people because of the existence of the curse.

If they really like their works, the Republic of China will never be able to block them.

They can bypass network restrictions and browse through the networks of other countries, and even go abroad to watch and support his movies.

The current Southern Dynasties are the same.

"Although I can no longer step into the territory of the Southern Dynasties, my works can."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "It hasn't been released yet. We are so famous. They are almost calling me the number one director in Dongzhou. When it is released, I will really conquer them in terms of the quality of the work."

"Then, as long as there is no sustained quality decline in our works, I believe they will become our loyal fans little by little."

"And as long as there is profit, the theaters in the Southern Dynasty won't mind if our films flow into their market." In terms of difficulty, the difficulty of occupying the market in the Southern Dynasty is much easier than that in the Heguo.

Of course, there is also the reason that Lu Zhengyi has already succeeded in the Republic of China, so it is easier to succeed in the Southern Dynasties.

Although these two countries have always competed with each other in the entertainment industry, they also admire each other.

If Lu Zhengyi had not conquered the Heguo market first, but only relied on his reputation in the Tang Dynasty, even if there were so many media from the Southern Dynasties to help promote it, he might not have succeeded.

After all, the stereotypes of Tang horror movies on people from other countries still exist.

But now he is not only famous in the Tang Dynasty, but also conquered a group of audiences in the He Kingdom. This persuasive power is very powerful.

"Okay, during your absence, we simply finished the rough cutting."

Hearing what Lu Zhengyi said, Xu Feng no longer worried, "But this time, we have tried a new style, so in the post-production, I may not be able to satisfy you. You still have to be the director. Look at the finished product and take more control.”

"I've had a rough look at the rough cut of the film, and overall it's fine."

Lu Zhengyi has already seen the finished film he sent to his mailbox, "Next, we can follow this style and refine the details more."

"But there is one area where it's more troublesome, and that's the soundtrack."

"The soundtrack of this film is quite important."

The Grudge, which was released in Japan, was biased toward cold and dark tones in terms of shooting style and editing.

Make the overall picture look gloomy.

Coupled with the complete silence, except for the sound from the live broadcast, there is no unnecessary background music, allowing the plot to be narrated and unfolded in silence.

But the style of movies in the Southern Dynasties is different from that in the Warring States.

The color adjustment will be more vivid, especially in the play, when Tomie faces Akita, the brilliance in the sun is particularly important.

And similarly, when the plot unfolds, it no longer seems like a curse, maintaining a quiet atmosphere.

They will add background music to some clips.

"I think we can come up with a few more plans. In fact, this film seems to be quite suitable for the kind of startling sound effects."

"Like this scene, when Sanae bumps into Akita outside the cafe and tells Tomie that she needs to solve her problem, she hurriedly turns her wheelchair around and tries her best to escape."

"The camera followed her movements and gave a close-up of the front. At this time, a piece of music with a steady tone but a depressing tone was added to highlight the tension of the scene, until Akita's hand was suddenly photographed from behind, pressing on the handle of the wheelchair. When it is played, the pitch suddenly rises, blasting the kind of scalp-numbing sound..."

When Lu Zhengyi said this, he took out his mobile phone and opened the rough cut that Xu Feng had sent him before.

With just a simple swipe, the progress bar of the video falls to where it should be.

It was as if he had watched the finished film countless times and memorized every minute and every second of the plot, scenes, and lines.

"Let's communicate more with our brother teams and ask them to prepare some sound effects plan support for us."

For lunch, Lu Zhengyi took his people to the canteen of Guangying next to him as usual. "Anyway, their team has been merged into Guangying's side, so communication is convenient. When they grow up, it will be helpful to us in the future." It also helps.”

They have always paid attention to sound effects in their previous films.

Xu Feng is also quite familiar with this aspect.

But familiarity is familiar, whether it is suitable or not, you still need to try several options to know clearly.

No matter how powerful a post-production master is, it is impossible to select the most suitable post-production sound effects at once.

Especially now that the Light and Shadow Group has developed, acquired some sound effects teams, and has its own sound effects subsidiary, it is more convenient to complete the work than before.

"By the way, I heard some time ago that some companies in the West are interested in the Grudge IP."

After generally setting the direction for the subsequent post-production, Xu Feng began to ask some questions, whether they were there or not, "How is it going? Have we concluded the talks? Is the team reliable? Don't ruin our brand name."

"It seems that the deal has been reached."

Lu Zhengyi thought for a moment, "I remember that while I was shooting before, I glanced at the work group on the light and shadow side."

"It's January now, maybe July or August, and the filming of the project will start there. After all, they just got an IP and don't have a script yet. They have to start by writing the script first. In the Western market, there are also It’s a little different from Dongzhou, this step is quite time-consuming.”

"The team should be reliable. At least the funds are sufficient. As for the brand name or not, it doesn't matter to us."

He wasn't worried. He blamed the IP for being smashed in the hands of others after it was sold.

Anyway, they have succeeded in filming it themselves.

If others take a good photo, it gives them face; if others take a bad photo, it is compared with the original.

In short, whether it is good or bad, for them, it is a good thing.

That’s how difficult it is to adapt.

The "Fujiang" that Lu Zhengyi and others have is actually the same.

Once the filming is completed, the sales of Ito's comic works will definitely skyrocket again.

If the filming is not good, his comic works will also skyrocket.

Because those who are dissatisfied with the movie will always buy the original work to see what others say is "a piece of shit compared to the comics".

"The relationship is great. I hope more people will buy the copyright from us. By then, none of the pictures will be as good as ours, which will only increase our popularity."

Xu Feng said happily.

However, after noticing that the employees next to Guangying looked towards them from time to time, he reminded him, "By the way, as an old classmate, I have to remind you, don't just focus on work."

"I finally came back from a rest. I want to spend more time with my wife at home."

"As for work, all departments in the crew have gradually matured, and we can all help and keep an eye on it."

It was talking about work before, and their relationship was that of superior and subordinate.

But now when we talk about personal matters, he is no longer the leader of the post-production team, but Lu Zhengyi’s old classmate.

"clear."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "After I came back, I stayed with her for a long time, and I just came to the company to see her today."

"By the way, during the Chinese New Year this year, remember to come to our house as a guest. Let's have a meal together and invite Teacher Chang, Teacher Yu, and Xiao Ming. It's been a long time since we got together, and everyone is not here."

"Also, you are allowed to bring family members. I said that you are now a grown-up, and it is time to consider getting married. Your sister-in-law asked me last time if I would like to introduce you to her. She knows..."

This Chinese New Year guy brought up personal matters again.

While talking, Lu Zhengyi began to talk about emotional matters.

The people who were urged to get married in the beginning have now become those who are urging them to get married.

Xu Feng covered his ears.

"Well, well, my parents talk about me at home, but when we come out, you talk about me too, right?"

"Brother is still young and doesn't want to step into the grave of marriage."

"Besides, I'm busy right now!"
