Become Famous Another Day

The "Strange Night" incident has caused heated discussions on domestic social media for almost three or four days.

This time, more information about Yang Zhouli and Yang Zhoujin was dug out.

At this time, we have to say that in this era, if you want to cover a secret, unless only the person who wants to cover the secret knows it, the secret seems to always leak out in various ways.

While various social media were discussing these things in the Yang family, Chen Siqi asked to "jump up" and all the media did not talk about this matter and ignored it directly.

For the media, doing this means missing a wave of traffic.

That is a huge loss for the self-media matrix owned by "jump up".

However, Chen Siqi's attitude towards this matter is very firm.

As expected, not long after, many media outlets that released relevant news deleted the relevant reports, but some of them had relatively high influence and received a lawyer's letter from Shijin Group.

Nothing else, I will report these media to spread rumors and spread rumors.

For a time, this incident also became a hot search.

In this Internet era, probably because everyone has accepted "everything can be entertained", so at the beginning, many people blamed Shijin Group for their direct prosecution.

However, as a group as a big one, the public relations power is not vegetarian.

Shijin Group doesn’t need to do anything else, they just need to focus on one thing, of course, it’s also something they need to clarify—

The news that was rumored on the Internet before was spreading rumors, not true.

Such rumors are not only an attack on Yang Zhoujin and Yang Zhouli, but also an improper commercial competition that spends money to buy these marketing accounts and discredit Shijin Group.

As long as such news is released, no more evidence is needed. For the current trend of the Internet being keen to love, if you throw out a little conspiracy theory, everyone will naturally develop a divergent thinking, not to mention that in the future, the group's public relations power must further guide the topic.

Many media have suffered a loss under the guidance of public relations like Shijin Group - of course, this is also their own consequences.

When I was having traffic food before, I didn’t think it clearly that they were facing a force they didn’t afford.

The public opinion on the Internet is second. The key is that Shijin Group’s prosecution against them is real, not a fake move or a formalism. They are determined to create a legal result to cover their mouths and clarify the truth.

-

This dispute between Shijin Group made many people know that they wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

Because when various media and marketing accounts described the competition between Yang Zhouli and Yang Zhoujin, they were talking about the competition for this business.

The photos of Lu Yanhe and Yang Zhouli sitting in the hotel having breakfast together were even posted online.

Lu Yanhe, who was originally out of the matter, was suddenly involved again.

—Lu Yanhe seems to be working with Shijin Group?

Lu Yanhe has not responded yet, and Shijin Group suddenly held a media conference.

Yang Zhouli attended.

Contrary to Shijin Group's previous tough attitude towards those media and marketing accounts, Yang Zhouli showed an elite elegance at this media conference, with a smile throughout the whole process and a gentle tone.

"Our Shijin Group will explore new business areas in the entertainment industry next..."

"During this period, everyone is very concerned about the real relationship between me and Zhou Jin, whether they are really fighting for power and profit, and whether there is a so-called **** struggle between wealthy families."

After Yang Zhouli finished speaking, he laughed first.

"This is just a private matter in our family. The so-called private matter is a matter between brothers and has nothing to do with the company's business." Yang Zhouli said, "I believe that if you have brothers and sisters, you must know that it is so troublesome to have a younger brother with a bad temper and rebellious period in the family. I would rather he really want to compete with me for something than simply... I don't like my brother."

Everyone at the scene laughed.

Yang Zhouli shrugged, "As for online rumors, Lu Yanhe and Shijin Group will cooperate next. Of course, I hope that top creators like Lu Yanhe can cooperate with us Shijin, but I must clarify that the relationship between us Shijin and Lu Yanhe is still in the stage of "unrequited love". If you really want us to cooperate, please help us get more out of the way and help Shijin chase Lu Yanhe."

The laughter at the scene became even more intense.

Yang Zhouli held a media meeting with a "non-official" relaxed attitude that made everyone's favorability for Shijin rise.

This is obviously very consistent with the impression of Shijin Group's public relations before—

Yang Zhouli and Yang Zhoujin are brothers. They are indeed disagreements, but they are not the contents of rumors spreading online at all.

-

Chen Ziyan finished watching the entire press conference from beginning to end, and then said to Lu Yanhe: "This Yang Zhouli is really not simple. She can make a big difference. She knows how to make everyone like him. If he comes to be an artist, he will definitely like it more than you."

Lu Yanhe: "…Don't hold on to the high and step on the low."

Chen Ziyan: "I am really curious about the relationship between the two brothers now. What's going on with Yang Zhoujin? He disappeared again."

"I guess I was locked in the house." Lu Yanhe teased.

"It may be true." Chen Ziyan said, "Since Shijin Group officially arranged Yang Zhouli to do this, and Yang Zhouli also said these words in public, which shows that Shijin Group's explicit characterization of this matter is like this, and it is obvious that Yang Zhouli won in this area."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"The public nowadays don't like a traditional entrepreneur. Yang Zhouli's several appearances have received large-scale support and praise. For the big capital of a family business like Shi Jin, he is now the most suitable spokesperson."

Chen Ziyan's eyes turned, "As soon as she said that, it seems that Yang Zhoujin's various actions before seemed to want to accumulate popularity or public image for herself, but she took a detour to gain attention."

Lu Yanhe had some ideas when he heard Chen Ziyan say this.

"They - Shijin Group cares a lot about their influence on the Internet and the public?"

"Maybe." Chen Ziyan nodded, "It's just that such a common feature is present at present."

Lu Yanhe: "This is a bit strange. Does Shijin Group hope that they will debut as artists?"

"Maybe Shijin needs a Yang family to stand up, like many front-line companies nowadays, to make those in power become internet celebrities, and to recommend the brand of Shijin's popularity and influence." Chen Ziyan said, "Now almost every traditional company is facing the problem of transformation. One is technological transformation, and the other is the transformation of brand image and brand promotion."

Lu Yanhe nodded thoughtfully, "I have indeed read some reports before, saying that many second-generation companies rely on the development of the Internet market to consolidate their position in their own companies and be recognized by the older generation."

"The two things have similar meanings," said Chen Ziyan. "I want to know more about what this has to do with Shijin Group's sudden layout in the entertainment industry. After all, to be honest, the entertainment industry is much smaller than the other industries that Shijin is involved in."

"However, Sister Zi Yan, almost all the big capital has been deployed in the entertainment industry. This is not just a matter of profit, but it has strategic significance." Lu Yanhe said, "Of course, it is also because the entertainment industry itself has a very high attention."

Chen Ziyan: "Yang Zhouli's speech to you in a modern version of the wise and polite people at the media meeting may not just be to make the public like him more and accept him, to some extent, it is also a strategic significance."

"Huh? What's the strategic significance of this?"

"To put it in a small way, his olive branch has been thrown to you in front of everyone. Do you accept it? This move has put him in an active position." Chen Ziyan said, "To put it in a big way, his attitude is for the public and for people in the entertainment industry. It means that Shi Jin is not a nouveau riche who spends money and is condescending. They are treating people with sincerity."

Lu Yanhe: "There are so many meanings."

"It may be that I interpreted too much." Chen Ziyan smiled, "I have to be honest. I haven't been so interested in someone for a long time. Yang Zhouli is quite interesting, which makes me want to think more."

Lu Yanhe: "You are not because they are handsome and have a good aesthetic point, right?"

Chen Ziyan: "There are also factors in this regard."

She actually admitted it openly.

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in shock.

Chen Ziyan: "However, it is mainly the effect he has achieved when he appears in public several times - I'm doing this. To be honest, if it weren't for a very powerful public relations staff who had made these appearances for him, otherwise, I would have to praise him for a talented player. Even if I want to design such a public favorability for you every time you appear in public, it would be difficult."

Lu Yanhe: "It's over, I'm attracted by his image and his talent. Why do I feel like you are here? Spring is here?"

"Hahaha." Chen Ziyan laughed very generously and heartily, "My spring was cut off by myself when I was in my twenties."

Lu Yanhe: “…”

"Stop making red lines." Chen Ziyan shook her head helplessly at Lu Yanhe, "I just see a handsome guy who matches my horizons, so I just look at it a few more times, and I have no other thoughts."

Lu Yanhe wanted to speak but stopped.

Chen Ziyan: "Okay, this topic ends here, don't ask anything."

Lu Yanhe missed the opportunity to ask questions.

“Okay.”

-

The affairs of Yang Zhouli and Yang Zhoujin continue to ferment on the Internet.

Although Lu Yanhe was paying attention, he was just a gossip after dinner.

What he cares more about is actually the actions he has in the entertainment industry.

However, after the self-media press conference, Yang Zhouli seemed to have no new moves.

Lu Yanhe is also about to join the crew to film the sequel to "The Mist".

-

The sequel to "The Mist" has always attracted much attention.

The first movie unexpectedly won more than 200 million US dollars in the world, exceeding expectations, and it was the annual horror film of that year.

What is as talked about as the box office results of this movie is the promotional and marketing method of this movie, which is considered unreplicable and is also "crazy".

Because, in the later stages of D19, the promotion and marketing of this movie was basically suppressed by Lu Yanhe alone to play the "Asian Revenge" card.

The result was "successful".

This makes this series focus only on the role of the Asian ghost played by Lu Yanhe when developing the sequel.

If this is not the case, it will be difficult for the audience in the first part to effectively convert it to the second part.

D19 Of course, I wouldn't want to see such a thing happen.

And this time, except for Lu Yanhe, other actors in the first film did not return. Because the script is set ten years later.

However, because of the success of the first part, the actors who participated in the starring roles in the sequel were basically well-known actors.

The production budget has been increased to 50 million US dollars.

Among them, Lu Yanhe and Muken account for about a quarter of their pay.

However, for a thriller horror film, the proportion of producers' pay is often higher, especially for sequels.

This type of film is very popular with directors and starring actors.

Before going, Lu Yanhe did his homework one by one for the people he wanted to cooperate with.

Two of the actors who came to participate in the performance have been nominated for the Academy Awards, but the nominations are a bit far away, and they are nominated seven or eight years ago.

Despite this, it can be seen how popular the sequel of "The Mist" is in Hollywood.

In fact, if you understand Hollywood carefully, you will realize one thing. Basically, if a movie has a good box office performance, the mainstream trend in Hollywood would not say that this movie is a bad movie.

It is rare for some domestic movies to be sold for more than one billion and are criticized by people from all walks of life.

Simply put, Hollywood adheres to the principle of "box office is king". If a movie can be sold at the box office, it means that the audience likes it. If the audience likes it, it means the movie is good.

Even Oscars have filters for works with high box office, especially for works with a certain meaning.

For example, the recently ended "The Magical Bad Witch", according to Chinese standards, is a true commercial film.

As a result, others won the nomination for the best actress and the best supporting actress who were fighting for the death.

Going forward, whether it is Matt Damon in "Martian Rescue", Sandra Brock in "Grain" or Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean", they are not Oscars in the conventional sense, but because of their high box office and industry representativeness, of course, the basis is that the actors have contributed really good performances, so they all won the performance award nomination that year. The success of the first part of "The Mist" made its sequel stare by many first-line actors. If it weren't for the first protagonist of the sequel to "Mist" was Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe believed that there might even be super first-line actors willing to act in the second part.

Think about the second adult movie after the first box office hit, the cast lineup of "The Joker" and the first box office hit, you may even think it is a movie that is a top-notch director. Otherwise, how could you be able to make so many big names act in a commercial horror movie?

In many entertainment novels, one thing is written: horror movies are marginal themes, and most top celebrities will not act in pure horror movies.

This is not wrong, there is such an ecological chain in itself.

But the second part of "The Joker's Return" breaks this routine phenomenon.

The reason is no different. Super first-line actors also need a work that has a $500 million global box office.

No one wants to miss such a work.

This is the case with the sequel to "Mist".

-

Fortunately, Lu Yanhe took the initiative or passively participated in several award seasons in the United States and attended two more Oscars as a guest, he also "disenchanted" these first-line stars in Hollywood.

Maybe in the future, I will be attracted by some of their acting skills again in the cooperation, but things like "star aura" will not exist in his world.

This time, Lu Yanhe specially brought a stylist to take charge of his character styling.

D19 didn't agree at first. However, in the first part, Lu Yanhe did have friction with the crew due to the character styling problem, and the root of the problem lies in the stylist hired by the crew.

In addition, Lu Yanhe had a tough attitude this time, so he compromised, but he still asked that what kind of shape he would use in the end was determined by D19, and it would not change too much from the first part.

Lu Yanhe said: "I didn't want a major transformation either, I just don't want to be cheated anymore."

This time, they are no longer filming in Canada.

But in the United States.

Mainly because the real scene cannot be used anymore.

In the sequel, after ten years of deserted decline, this town has undergone great changes with the real scene, full of dilapidation and loneliness.

This allows the sequel to only use CG to handle small town images.

Therefore, many scenes require green screen scenes in the studio.

This is a benefit. If you shoot in the studio, the shooting conditions are much better than real-life shooting.

Muken Zorg this time is a crew that he came alone.

Hua Ruzhen is busy with her own work and can no longer accompany Muken in the shooting place like the first part.

So, Muken asked Lu Yanhe for dinner, and he also changed from cooking in his own room to going to a restaurant.

-

It's just an ordinary restaurant.

  Eat fast food.

Lu Yanhe and Muken Zorge haven't seen each other for a long time and found that he seemed to have gained a little weight.

Seeing him looking at his figure, Muken explained with a bitter smile: "Ruzhen is not at home most of the time now, and no one manages my diet, so I eat a little more indulgent."

Lu Yanhe laughed.

"Muken, then you should be more self-disciplined in the future. Sister Ruzhen will not be able to manage your three meals a day like before."

Muken Zorg: "This is not my final say. People will lose their minds when they are hungry."

Lu Yanhe smiled and agreed deeply.

The two of them were in a fast food restaurant. Lu Yanhe ordered fried chicken and vegetable salad, and they ate it unhealthy. However, after eating it occasionally, Lu Yanhe felt that it was okay.

Muken Zorg directly brought a giant burger, a portion of French fries, a bowl of cream mushroom soup, and a cup of Coke. After all, he ate half of Lu Yanhe's fried chicken.

Lu Yanhe felt jealous when he saw him having such a big feast.

Being a director is good, and you really have no body anxiety at all.

When Lu Yanhe indulged himself, he didn't dare to eat like this.

Then, he felt a desire—

  Craving for food.

"Let's sit together and have dinner next time." Lu Yanhe suddenly said.

Muken Zorg was stunned, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Lu Yanhe said: "You eat so deliciously."

Muken Zorg was stunned.

Lu Yanhe: "I'm afraid I can't help it."

Muken Zorg: “…”

-

"Have you seen all other actors?" Muken Zorg asked.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Not yet, I haven't dealt with anything before."

Muken Zorg: "Then you have to pay attention."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe asked, "What's wrong? What should I pay attention to?"

"With my work experience, once there are more than one popular actors in a crew, the crew will not be too calm," said Muken Zorg.

Lu Yanhe’s understanding of this sentence is that none of them are easy to use.

He paused and nodded.

Whatever you want.

  The soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil covers the earth.

"Actually, compared to this, have you expressed to D19 before that, after you filmed this film, you don't want to film the series "Mist" again?" Muken asked again.

Lu Yanhe: "I didn't say it directly. However, when they were negotiating the contract, they wanted to sign a few more contracts with me at once. I refused, maybe they just guessed it."

"What about your own thoughts?" Muken asked, "I am also planning the series "Mist" myself. If you really don't plan to perform, tell me earlier so that I won't do useless work."

Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and said, "If I say I don't want to act in the future, it's not right, but I really don't want to film the third part soon. Even if the second part is very good, the popularity of this movie is beyond our expectations. However, it has been seen from the script of the second part. If this story continues to film in order to continue filming, it is a bit reluctant, so it's better to ease it."

Muken nodded.

"I agree with what you said."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Where are you? Muken, do you want to continue shooting?"

Muken: "I'm thinking about this, D19 really wants to develop this movie into a series."

A horror film series has low cost, high box office, and a fixed audience. It is simply a money tree that can continuously bring income. Of course, D19 hopes that it can continue to develop.

Muken Zorg is almost touching the threshold of a "master" in the field of horror films.

It is not easy to achieve good box office results and audience reputation in three consecutive movies.

Muken Zorg has his own horror and thriller aesthetic.

Lu Yanhe said: "Actually, I wrote you a script for a horror thriller movie. If you are interested, I can give you this script."

Muken Zorge showed surprise.

"You wrote a horror thriller movie script?"

"Yes." Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Ruzhen told me before that you have been looking for a good script to change everyone's view of horror movies that are simple and rough sensory movies. You want to change the mainstream voice."

Muken Zorg: "But this subject is marginal, there is no way."

"Actually, the social issues that "Misty" has should have won the Oscars, but I missed the awards season and did not do any public relations. No one thinks "Misty" meets the Oscar standards." Lu Yanhe said, "Do you want to read the script I wrote?"

Muken nodded: "Of course, did you bring it?"

Lu Yanhe took out a script from his bag.

Muken took it and glanced at the cover.

"GetOut".

There is also a line of Chinese: Escape from the Brutal Town.

-

After "The Mist", Lu Yanhe did not intend to act in horror movies in the short term because no matter how Hollywood boasted about itself, it was essentially a place full of discrimination and prejudice.

If Lu Yanhe has too profound labels for the horror films and box office results are too outstanding, even if he has taken on "The Godless" and "The Godless" performs well in the box office, Hollywood will definitely be a horror film actor.

Because "Mist" was a box office that he carried alone.

In Hollywood's history, there are not so many actors who rely on a person's attributes to support the box office. This is completely a factor in the right time, place, and people.

However, Lu Yanhe did not intend to give up his advantages in horror and thriller themes.

Whether it is "Buried Live" or "Red-Eye Flight", they are actually films with thrillers.

Especially afterwards, Linghe started making movies in North America, and horror movies were a very good theme of completing the "original accumulation".

Small cost, big return.

Too many cases.

They can't make big money like "Avatar" and "Titanic", but small money can be made continuously.

Have Wan Ziren made less money in Hollywood in recent years than James Cameron?

As for his output and box office explosion rate, it is really not certain. (Pure author's own ideas, no basis)

So, now Lu Yanhe is actually using these scripts to prove to Hollywood that he has a success rate that is not inferior to the local market.

When Muken Zorg was reading the script, Lu Yanhe sat alone across from the other side, looking at his cell phone.

Halfway through reading, Muken Zorg looked up and said, "This movie-"

His expression was a bit complicated.

Lu Yanhe nodded: "Just as I said just now, this is a socially-provoked horror thriller."

The box office hit of "Escape from the Blind Town" is largely due to the echo of this story with the history of "Black Man as a Slave". It is not about racism. Its core is actually the spiritual fear that blacks still hide in their hearts in the modern context. So, as soon as the movie was released, the American society was in full swing, making it more than just a movie.

This is also a script that is most suitable for Muken Zorg now.

  Social topics, the thriller core of spiritual fear, and Muken Zorg's horror aesthetics, Lu Yanhe can imagine that after this movie is made, it will definitely become a more popular movie than "The Mist".

Because in the United States, black people have much more voice than Asians.
