This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Soon, after the projector finished playing the clip that Lü Ming and Lu Hao had simply edited, Gangzi and Hu Tao couldn't hide their excitement.

As insiders, Gangzi and Hu Tao could immediately tell the quality of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

It's definitely no worse than Lu Ming's previous work, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer"!
Moreover, in their opinion, this "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is better than "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" in terms of storytelling.

It's going to be a huge hit!

Even if it were said that this "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" would become a classic, just as Lü Ming had said at the Hunan TV Golden Eagle Awards, Gangzi and Hu Tao would have no doubts whatsoever.

It's worth noting that although Gangzi and Hu Tao had great faith in Lü Ming and believed that Lü Ming's "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" would definitely not be too bad, they initially thought it would be at most about the same quality as "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

For Kiwi and Tencent Video, even if the quality is only similar to that of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," it would be enough to satisfy them.

However, judging from today's advance screening, the quality is clearly several points better.

Once "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is released, it will definitely be a huge hit, and Gangzi and Hu Tao have no doubt about that.

When will the editing be finished?

Gangzi and Hu Tao exchanged a glance, then asked Lü Ming almost simultaneously, their words tinged with anticipation.

"About a month!"

Seeing the look in their eyes, like children anticipating their favorite toys, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile. Then he said to them, "Your publicity campaign can begin now!"

With so many shots, even if Lü Ming tried his best not to waste any footage, it was impossible to finish editing it in just a few days.

Even with Lü Ming's help, it would still take at least a month to edit the video and deliver the final product to Kiwi and Tencent Video.

"No problem, we've been prepared for this!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Hu Tao and Gangzi quickly nodded and began to explain to Lü Ming the various publicity methods they had prepared.

It's worth noting that Hu Tao and Gangzi took this "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" very seriously and had already prepared various promotional methods. In particular, they directly contacted Tencent Video, the giant parent company behind it, and used its channels to prepare for a full-scale online promotion.

Although Kiwifruit doesn't have a parent company as powerful as Tencent Video, it still used almost all of Kiwifruit's promotional resources.

After we finish talking with Lü Ming today and they go back, they will go all out with their publicity efforts and resources to make sure that almost everyone knows that Lü Ming's "Ghost Blows Out the Light - The Ancient City of Jingjue" is about to be released.

Gangzi and Hu Tao had no worries about the publicity work at all.

If it's a work by a relatively unknown actor or artist, then promoting and distributing it might be quite difficult.

But this is "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City"!

Even before filming began, it had already attracted countless people's attention. Even during filming, many people were still following various hot news about "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City". Even though the entire "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" has not yet been released, its popularity has long occupied the top few spots on Weibo's trending topics. Almost every day, people on Weibo and Tencent Video ask when "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" will be released.

"What's going on with your movie? It's causing quite a stir outside!"

After finishing his discussion with Lü Ming about their publicity preparations, Gangzi asked with some curiosity on his face.

Although Lü Ming has been busy filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" these days, the online discussion about him has not subsided at all, especially the discussion about which movie he is about to shoot, which has been so heated that almost all the directors in the domestic film industry have been speculated on.

However, after a while, people found that almost all the well-known directors in the film industry had already made arrangements, and those directors who did not have work arrangements also came forward to explain after seeing the online discussions.

After some well-intentioned people explained it to them, they suddenly realized that the movie Lu Ming had mentioned was just a mirage and was completely fake.

After all, if Lü Ming really intended to compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, then it would be impossible that there would be no movement or even a single message out for so long.

This doesn't look like a movie that's trying to compete with Stephen Chow at all.

Immediately, rumors spread online that Lü Ming was just bluffing and didn't dare to compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget Journey to the West sequel. Even Wu Qian couldn't help but jump out and express his opinion, naturally mocking Lü Ming.

Wu Qian has been generating a lot of buzz lately.

Because of his speech at the press conference for Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, he is now considered a leading figure in the resistance against Lu Ming's tyranny in the entertainment industry, and various haters have flocked to Wu Qian's banner.

Even though Lü Ming has a fairly good reputation among ordinary netizens, it doesn't mean he has no haters. In fact, the number of Lü Ming's haters is terrifying, even more than the number of fans of some popular celebrities. They just seem insignificant in comparison to Lü Ming's exaggerated number of fans.

However, when they all gathered under Wu Qian's banner, Wu Qian realized just how terrifying the number of Lü Ming's haters was. In just this short period of time, these haters had given Wu Qian a huge boost in both popularity and negative publicity, occupying a significant amount of important topics and attention every day.

When Wu Qian first heard Lü Ming's speech, he was a little flustered. After all, this was Wu Qian's big screen debut, and he hoped it would be a success. If his first attempt at the big screen failed because of Lü Ming, Wu Qian would definitely not want to see it happen.

However, Lü Ming did not make any moves for a while afterward, which relieved Wu Qian's anxiety. He instinctively agreed with the online comments that Lü Ming was just bluffing and did not dare to challenge them.

This is why Wu Qian has repeatedly made sarcastic remarks about Lü Ming online in the past few days.

Thanks to the hype stirred up by these anti-Lu Ming fans and some malicious individuals, not only ordinary netizens but even some of Lu Ming's fans couldn't help but agree with these statements, believing that Lu Ming had no intention of making any movies and was just making a casual remark.

If Lü Ming really did what he said on camera, then there's no way he wouldn't be taking no action now.

Perhaps netizens and Lü Ming's fans think that Lü Ming is just bluffing, but Gangzi, who knows Lü Ming very well, knows that Lü Ming is definitely not the kind of person who would make empty boasts.

Since Lü Ming said so, then Lü Ming definitely has this idea.

So far, Lü Ming hasn't made any move, which has piqued Gangzi and the others' curiosity. They suspect Lü Ming is about to pull off something big. "My men have just arrived, so let's chat together!"

Seeing the curious looks on Gangzi and Hu Tao's faces, Lü Ming smiled and nodded, then called Lu Hao and his assistant, who were not far away, in.

Lu Ming originally planned to talk to his assistants about the movie after he finished entertaining Gangzi and Hu Tao. Since they were so curious, he decided to let them listen as well.

Lu Ming naturally understood what Gangzi and Hu Tao were thinking; they were just looking for an opportunity to squeeze in and get involved.

Lu Ming didn't have much resistance to their idea.

When Li Yan first inquired with Lü Ming, Lü Ming had no intention of cooperating with Hunan TV because the film and television company under Hunan TV did not have many resources.

However, Kiwi and Tencent Video are different. In recent years, with the massive influx of capital into the entertainment industry, online video platform giants like Kiwi and Tencent Video have also established their own film companies. Leveraging their leading positions in the online video platform, they have all developed quite well. Although they cannot compare with giants like China Film Group, Huayue, and Bona, they can still be considered second-tier in the entire film industry.

Besides, Lü Ming has a good relationship with Gangzi and Hu Tao, and their previous collaborations have been quite pleasant.

"I actually already had the movie I mentioned last time prepared. The script was ready long ago, and it's even been filed with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television!"

After Gangzi and the others had all gathered around him, Lü Ming spoke leisurely.

However, Lu Ming's words surprised everyone present. Even Lu Ming's assistant was wondering when Lu Ming had filed a movie script with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. He hadn't noticed at all!

When did you register it?

"I haven't seen it at all during this period of time!"

Gangzi, standing to the side, asked with great confusion, "These days, the internet has been keeping a close eye on Lü Ming, monitoring his every move, but no one has noticed that Lü Ming has registered the movie script with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."

Moreover, according to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's usual practice, any film script that has passed the filing process will be made public. However, from the time Lü Ming gave the interview to the time the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has made public the scripts, Lü Ming's name has not appeared.

"A long time ago!"

Lü Ming picked up his phone, opened the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's official website, and found the movie script that he had registered.

"Damn, so early!"

When Gangzi saw Lü Ming's name on the list published by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, he was shocked. He never expected that Lü Ming had already registered the movie script so early.

The timing of this announcement is almost the same as the time when the script for the wildly popular drama "Unintentional Performance" was released.

In other words, when Lü Ming was preparing to film "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", he had already come up with the script for the movie.

No wonder we haven't seen any action from Lü Ming online yet; it turns out he had already made preparations long ago.

"Here is the script for the movie I'm planning to make. You can take a look!"

Lu Ming then took the printed script to the table, but Gangzi and Hu Tao took it away as soon as he put it on the table.

"Detective Chinatown?"

Is it a historical detective drama?

This isn't a popular movie genre right now, and it's not easy for a movie like this to achieve high box office returns.

These days, the only movies that can achieve high box office returns are comedies and big-budget, high-special-effect films similar to Hollywood superhero movies. Historical detective dramas and even romance films can't compare; they are definitely niche genres.

Even with the added boost of Lü Ming's fame, this type of film's box office performance is unlikely to be exceptionally high.

Looking at the title of the script, Gangzi and the others flipped through it with a hint of doubt on their faces.

Since Gangzi and Hu Tao weren't taken into consideration, Lü Mingzhi printed two copies. All Lu Hao and Lü Ming's assistants could only watch with a hint of disappointment as Gangzi and Hu Tao took away the script that was originally meant for them.

Yes!

The movie that Lü Ming is preparing to shoot is this one, "Detective Chinatown".

After obtaining the script for "Detective Chinatown" through the system, Lü Ming registered it with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television along with the script for "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

Lu Ming had no doubt about the quality of "Detective Chinatown," which created a considerable box office phenomenon at the time.

To be a new director, to have a group of actors with little star power and to have a nearly original story gross nearly a billion yuan is an absolute box office miracle.

Moreover, as a film series, its subsequent box office performance proved its positive reputation.

However, when Lü Ming received the script for "Detective Chinatown", he was not in a hurry to film it. On the one hand, he did not have enough resources at the time, and he was just a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Filming it rashly would only waste such a good script. On the other hand, it was even simpler: Lü Ming did not have money.

Although "Detective Chinatown" doesn't require as much money as those top-tier big-budget productions with special effects, it's not something that can be made with just a little money. The cost alone would require at least a small amount of money.

At that time, Lü Ming only had tens of millions of yuan in his hands, which was earned from the appearance fee for "Go Fighting!" from Tencent Video.

With so little money, it was definitely not enough to make "Detective Chinatown," so Lü Ming chose "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," which had a smaller investment and was easier to produce, and completely forgot about this script.

If it weren't for the fact that Hua Yue and Wu Qian hadn't arranged for someone to provoke Lü Ming last time, Lü Ming probably wouldn't have remembered this script for a while. (End of Chapter)
