Chapter 405 [One Year]

Can the answer to a question be Zhang Xueming’s first contribution after officially taking charge of Guangying Group?

It sounds simple.

But specifically, it depends on the importance of the issue.

Today, the weight of this issue is as great as the market value of Guangying Group.

Whether it was Lin Mozhi, the vice president, or other senior executives of the company, or other people from cooperative companies and subsidiaries, they were all keeping a close eye on Zhang Xueming.

In the past, Light and Shadow Company’s business certainly went beyond this.

But now, the horror and thriller category is the foundation of the entire group.

If Tang State included this category in the banned list like other countries, then their group's business would be cut by nine out of ten immediately.

So this issue is very important.

"Can Mr. Zhang guarantee this answer?"

Lin Mozhi asked tactfully, and everyone present understood the meaning.

"of course."

Zhang Xueming repeated, "Tang will not prohibit the discussion and dissemination of this matter like other countries do."

After a pause, she added, "At least for the next fifty years, I can guarantee it."

Such a confident statement made everyone present feel relieved.

Being in this position, what Zhang Xueming says definitely carries weight.

And not everyone can give such a guarantee.

At least one has to have connections that reach that level to know what will happen next.

The fact that Zhang Xueming could say these words meant that her network of relationships had reached that level, allowing her to learn about some things in advance.

"Next, our overseas routes will not be terminated. Since other small countries in Dongzhou are no longer willing to accept these works, forget it."

"Isn't there the United States? That was our original goal. The Western market is much larger than those small countries' markets."

"As for the domestic side, don't you think this is an opportunity to expand the market base?"

She glanced at everyone in the conference room, looking very relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

……

People always have expectations for many supernatural things.

It is like the internal strength and true energy in martial arts, the sword immortals and ascension in immortals, the magic and spells in fantasy... People have created airplanes, trains, and submarines, and use the power of technology to allow themselves to go to the sky and into the ground.

But sometimes, people still hope to achieve it with their own strength, even if it is only for a brief moment. People have also developed ways such as parachuting and high-altitude bungee jumping to make themselves truly "fly".

I don't want to be an ordinary person anymore.

Such thoughts will always appear in people's minds at certain stages, whether in childhood, adolescence or old age.

Even ghosts are the same.

People are afraid of ghosts because in their impression, they are evil and cruel.

When a person is in darkness and has difficulty falling asleep, he or she may unconsciously imagine whether there is something in the dark corner, under the bed, or behind the cabinet.

Fear, terror, panic...these emotions slowly emerged.

But sometimes, people long for the appearance of these ghosts.

When a person lies in bed, he or she is afraid of the darkness. All kinds of horror scenes emerge in his or her mind because of the horror movies he or she has watched every day. He or she imagines that something will suddenly grab his or her feet outside the quilt under the bed, or that there is a bloodshot eye in the closet looking at him or her through the cracks in the closet...

But as I thought about it, I suddenly had this feeling.

'It would be nice if ghosts really existed.'

If ghosts exist, it means that gods, immortals, demons and monsters may also exist in reality.

Perhaps things like internal strength, true qi, spiritual power, etc., which only exist in novels, movies and TV shows, also exist.

So……

Life will no longer be ordinary.

You don’t have to go to school, work, and do all kinds of repetitive things.

The world in front of me suddenly opened up, my cognition was expanded, and many things that seemed "childish" at first glance suddenly became reality and became beautiful.

People are always so contradictory: they are afraid of the appearance of ghosts, but they also long for the existence of ghosts.

“Do you remember the underground palace that was unearthed when Director Lu was filming Double Pupils?”

"Fuck, I knew this guy was trying to tell us something by making a movie."

"So where can I find a reliable temple or amulet to pray for peace?"

"I heard that the Taoist priest of Qingniu Temple is very familiar with Director Lu."

"You are really a bunch of crazy people. Those countries banned this topic just because some topics spread some bad things, but you guys really analyzed it for them."

"Don't wait until something really happens. You all hold talismans in your hands and step on flying swords while I run on the ground alone."

Although Lu Zhengyi's previous works, from The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village to The Curse, all received quite good reviews, they were mostly within the horror circle.

Many people watched these two works because they like horror movies.

These two works rarely attract audiences outside the horror circle.

Until the double pupils.

In terms of quality, Lu Zhengyi does not think that "A Double Vision" is the best of the three works, but its breaking circle index is definitely the best among the three works.

Because at that time, there happened to be news about the unearthed underground palace in Chuancheng.

It was related to the news, and many people thought that Lu Zhengyi was filming a documentary. There was widespread discussion about whether he was filming based on this underground palace.

Is there really a secret to becoming an immortal there? Is there really a true immortal temple there?

This is the real breaking out of the circle, attracting many audiences from other circles to enter this world of horror and thriller.

And now, this is another move to break the circle.

Moreover, this time, compared with the news about the unearthed objects in the underground palace at that time, the news was much more eye-catching and more exciting, as if there really was such a feeling.

That was official news, and it was an action taken by several countries at the same time.

Is it really nothing? Then why ban it?

But just because these works make people feel uncomfortable, is there any reason to spread bad trends?
Is this reason enough to completely sweep the entire category aside?

As for?
"Our reality is completely different from the Internet. Online, we can't even say a word, but offline, a group of people are discussing it. IP: Heguo"

"Something happened in Itaewon a few days ago. I don't understand why something happens there every day. IP: Southern Dynasty"

"It is said that there is a large flow of people and accidents are more likely to happen. The news always blames those things on foreigners, but I don't think it's that simple. IP: Southern Dynasty"

"People here are also in a state of panic. There are more and more cases of missing children. IP: Elephant Country"

"Kid, according to your customs, I feel... IP: Japan"

"Yes, don't you foreigners have your own network? IP: Tangguo"

He State, Southern Dynasty State, Xiang State...

These countries have silenced people, and discussions about horror and thriller are no longer discussed.

But their actions have made them even more popular in China.

Some overseas netizens even went over the wall just to say a few words.

And this popularity lasted for a whole year.

……

"I don't want to study anymore. I want to go out and play."

"I want to go to the amusement park. You said you would take me to the amusement park!"

"No, the whole family wants to go together. I want my dad, mom, grandma, grandpa and grandma to go with me! And Ayong and the big black snake!" In the living room, early in the morning, Lu Yongan was clamoring to go to the amusement park.

Originally, the piano teacher hired by Zhang Xueming was standing there awkwardly. It was not his first time teaching, and with a lot of teaching experience, he knew very well how to solve the current situation.

If the child is unwilling to learn, then just arouse his interest and make him willing to learn.

But this time, due to the child's family situation, he couldn't handle it as smoothly as before.

A woman with a serious face, just standing there, makes people feel that they should straighten their backs and obey orders.

Next to him, the man with a helpless look on his face was also just standing there. His size, appearance, and voice made people step back unconsciously.

In comparison, the more normal person in this family is the white-haired old woman.

But the old woman didn't care at all. She just sat on the sofa and watched TV, as if she couldn't hear or see what was happening.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu."

Lu Zhengyi noticed the teacher standing next to him and went over to him politely, "I will pay for today's class, no, the fees for the next week's class."

"But I'm very sorry, our child may not need the following courses."

"I'll call a taxi for you. Please go back."

Zhang Xueming frowned, "Piano is a must-learn course for many children nowadays. What if I take him to a banquet in the future and he doesn't know anything when asked about it?"

"You said at the beginning that you would let the child choose for himself."

While taking out his phone to hail a taxi, Lu Zhengyi replied, "An An's attitude is very clear now. He has already completed all the courses he was supposed to take. The remaining time is for him to earn. He should manage this time by himself."

"Domination? At his age, what does he know?" Zhang Xueming insisted, "This year's registration has passed. He has to wait a year before he can go to elementary school. Can we let him spend the whole year playing? Isn't this a waste?"

Lu Zhengyi replied, "Why can't we spend our time having fun? Don't children need to play?"

Zhang Xueming continued, "Happy education is a lie. Whether in China or abroad, any family with a little foundation will let their children learn more knowledge at an early age."

The two of us talked to each other.

The piano teacher stood by and didn't dare to say a word.

The course was originally scheduled to be completed before Lu Yongan started primary school at the age of six.

He had already mastered it a year in advance.

In order to avoid affecting other children, he left the kindergarten early.

This made Zhang Xueming happy, and she arranged music courses for him. For wealthy families, it is common to let children learn musical instruments.

Like piano, cello, violin...these have become things that seem to be taken for granted.

Happy education does not exist, and involution starts from childhood.

But the dispute soon came to an end.

As the person involved, An An didn't want to continue studying and just wanted to have a good time. With the help of her father Lu Zhengyi, how could Zhang Xueming possibly win?

"Just spoil him."

Finally, Zhang Xueming said something and went to work.

The piano teacher also left, not wanting to stay even a second longer.

Lu Yongan raised his hands high, running around the living room and cheering as if he had won a battle.

"As for the amusement park, it will take a few days."

Lu Zhengyi stood by with a smile on his face. "Mom still has to go to work. She won't be free for a few days. During these few days, you can play by yourself first."

"I want to go swimming too!"

Lu Yongan raised his hand, "Xu Hanguang said he is a great swimmer, I want to swim too!"

Xu Hanguang was his friend in kindergarten.

Lu Zhengyi looked at him, “Can you swim?”

"I can learn."

Lu Yongan raised his head proudly, looking down at people, "There is nothing I can't learn."

"Okay, okay, there's nothing you can't learn." Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "But maybe not today. I need to spend some time to find a suitable swimming pool first."

Lu Yongan said seriously, “Then you have to hurry up.”

"Okay, I'll hurry."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him with a doting smile.

"Then I'm going to go to the movies first. I want to watch the movie you made."

As Lu Yongan spoke, he ran towards the screening room upstairs. He was very brave and had never been afraid of anything since he was a child.

Whether it was going to kindergarten to socialize with other classmates, watching horror movies, or anything else, he was not afraid.

He even played Wang Xiaoxu's game.

But soon, he hurried downstairs again, "Dad, the projector is broken."

"broken?"

Lu Zhengyi asked doubtfully and followed him upstairs.

When I got to the screening room, I saw the projector was on, but there was no picture coming out.

"It seems to be broken. It looked fine before."

Lu Zhengyi walked over and tried to restart and restore to factory settings.

But it was all useless, the projector was on, but nothing was projected onto the canvas.

When I use the remote control, there is sound. In this case...

"It should be broken here in front."

Lu Yongan thought, fiddling with the lens of the projector. "If there is sound, then the machine is operating normally, but it is not displayed."

Lu Zhengyi asked, "Then let's take it apart and have a look?"

"it is good!"

“So this is what the inside of a projector looks like.”

"What is this for?"

On the floor, Lu Yongan squatted beside his father curiously, watching him disassemble the projector.

"This is a circuit board, and this is an electronic component."

"It looks like the lens component is burned out. In this case, we need to heat up the nearby tin, melt it, remove the component, and then replace it with a new electronic component."

"Here is the input and the output. Do you know what input and output mean? It's like we input the power-on command into the chip representing the display screen, and then the command will be transmitted here, and then through..."

The father and son spent the entire day revolving around this projector.

After disassembling all the parts inside in the morning, I went to buy new accessories and tools in the afternoon. The result of a day's hard work was that the light from the projector made the canvas bright again.

"yeah!"

Although Lu Yongan just watched the whole process, when the canvas was lit up, he was more excited than Lu Zhengyi.

"It's almost time to get ready for bed."

While Lu Zhengyi was packing up tools like screwdrivers, he reminded with a smile, "Although..."

As he was saying this, his cell phone rang.

"Xiao Wei, I'm sorry, I may not have time to help you watch the movie recently."

"Don't worry, I will go to the cinema to support it when it is released."

"Director Li? There's no news about his movie yet."
