Then, a strange phone call made me break out in a cold sweat!
"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Zheng, the director of movies such as "Happy Ghost" and "Kunchiyan"?
I am the newly established review team specialist of the literary and art review department specifically for ghost films."
Although there was a gentle and sweet female voice on the phone.
Lin Zheng was still shocked by these words.
A bad feeling came over my heart.
A group dedicated to reviewing ghost films?
Should my movie be blocked?
As an outstanding young man who traveled from the earth, Lin Zheng knew it very well.
For things like movies and TV shows.
The genre is niche, the ability is not enough, the investment is too little, and actors are hard to find.
In fact, they are not the most fatal factors.
What is really fatal is a direct ban!
Before he traveled through time, various rules such as "No spirits are allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China" and "Real ghosts are not allowed in horror movies" were widely circulated in the world.
In the years before he traveled back in time, the reason why domestic horror films failed to recover was.
Although it’s not entirely the fault of the two regulations above.
However, it is more or less impressive.
Especially the rule "no ghosts are allowed in horror movies" is undoubtedly fatal to Lin Zheng!
If the Daxia Kingdom of Blue Star also adopts relevant measures.
Then he really couldn't even think about it.
Lin Zheng's joyful mood when he got up early was gone. His heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. He tremblingly replied: "Hello, it's me. I'm Lin Zheng. May I ask...what's the matter?"
Fortunately, the other person's next words reassured him: "Hello Director Lin, I'm here to inform you of new censorship regulations regarding ghost films.
You should also know that ghosts are a relatively sensitive topic in Blue Star.
Therefore, our department plans to conduct separate supervision and review of ghost films.
If you still want to shoot a ghost movie, you need to submit the script to us before shooting starts. Only after it is approved can the shooting officially start."
"Is that all I need to do is hand in the script?" Lin Zheng asked tentatively.
"Yes!" the specialist on the other end of the phone replied, "and you can rest assured, because there are relatively few directors making ghost films now, our review speed will not be too slow."
"Then those ghost movies I made before..."
"The ghost films you shot before will still be sold normally and will not be affected in any way."
"Very humane! No problem, I'm preparing to make a new movie, so I'll hand in the script now!"
…
After Lin Zheng asked how to submit the script, he immediately hung up the phone.
Then, I used the software with the synchronization function on my mobile phone to send all the scripts of "Happy Ghost 2" and "Happy Ghost 3" that I had written before.
Since there is nothing wrong with "Happy Ghost 1".
Then "Happy Ghost 2" and "Happy Ghost 3" should not have any problems.
After all, the movies in the "Happy Ghost" series have always followed the path of campus comedy.
There are laughs and tears, and the script can be considered conscientious.
And the supernatural elements are very shallow.
Basically it can be ignored.
Especially in the second and third parts, the role of "Happy Ghost" was replaced by a person with special functions.
In fact, it's not inconsistent at all.
He put down his phone with peace of mind and turned on the system.
Immediately I discovered that there was a new piece of content on the system panel.
[Power of Faith: 3 points]
This obviously shows that his efforts last night have achieved remarkable results.
Zhang Xirou has successfully practiced the exercise named after him!
Moreover, it also provided him with 3 points of freshly baked power of faith!
“I just don’t know if there are any rules for the generation of this power of faith...
Also, how to use this thing?
The system doesn’t explain it clearly, so should I still be left to explore on my own? I’m not Lu Sheng.”
Lin Zheng was a little puzzled.
But look at these three points of power of faith.
He also realized that Zhang Xirou alone was not enough to provide the power of faith.
He must find a way to teach the skills to more people.
But the power of this skill is not small, and it only takes twenty years of skill to become a master.
If it spreads hastily, it will have a more or less unstable impact on society.
Lin Zheng's main purpose is to make more movies to earn box office and extend his life.
For the time being, we don’t have the energy and conditions to lead the whole people to practice something like this.
So...he must think carefully about how to spread it.
Just as Lin was thinking about it, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he looked at it, he found that it was Mei Jixing's call.
After being connected, Mei Jixing said happily.
He is already on his way to Zhifu's apartment and will arrive in a short while.
That sound full of joy and excitement.
It's like a criminal just got out of prison.
Lin Zheng looked at the time and saw that it was only half past eight in the morning.
What time did Mei Jixing get up and rush there?
Isn’t that too much effort?
For a moment, he couldn't help but think of Mei Jixing's true feelings when he switched jobs from Secret Media and planned to make a movie with him.
But at that time, he only had the 2 million box office in his mind, and he didn't even let the other party finish his sentence.
Faced with Mei Jixing's serious attitude, Lin Zheng felt a little guilty.
"In this film, we must give Mei Jixing a role with more scenes!"
After hanging up the phone, he thought silently in his heart.
Guzhen
Then, Lin Zheng packed up his things and put on his clothes.
I plan to go to Li Changsheng and others to discuss the issues regarding the shooting of the new movie.
For example, this movie must have been shot in the "Zhifu Apartment".
But Happy Ghost 2 and 3, two movies, are both campus comedies.
This creates a big conflict in the main scene, and we must find a way to resolve it.
And at this moment, his cell phone, which he had just put in his pocket, rang again.
Lin Zheng took out the phone from the pocket next to his crotch.
At first glance, the caller turned out to be the review specialist just now.
This review is really fast.
He thought, connected it directly, put it to his ear, and the sweet and gentle voice came again:
"Hello Director Lin, the two new scripts you submitted failed to pass the review.
The reason is that showing ghosts in an overly positive light may have a negative impact on young people who have not yet established a sound outlook on life.
Moreover, the second part, the plot of falling in love with a ghost, is more likely to have a bad influence on teenagers."
Lin Zheng was immediately stunned: "Well, aren't there no ghosts in the world? What impact could this have? Are we still worried that teenagers will actually make friends with ghosts?"
"I'm sorry, this is the opinion of our superior. I don't know the specific statement. I just heard from my superior... If you describe non-existent ghosts too well, it will easily lead to nihilism..."
Damn it, philosophy is all over the place.
Lin Zheng looked confused, but across from him, the review specialist continued: "I suggest you try to avoid sensitive areas such as schools and teenagers when writing new scripts here.
You can consider looking to older urban working men and women, changing the school to a company, or renting a place where they live."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone neatly.
Lin Zheng was holding his mobile phone and was silent for a long time.
Originally I was thinking about how to solve the problem of conflict between movie scenes and real-life scenes.
As a result, now... the problem has not been solved, but the problem has been solved.
…
“MD, these people who review ghost movies are just idiots, right?
If I make a comedy ghost movie and talk about "nihilism" to me, isn't this completely insane?
Suddenly they wanted to check my script, but suddenly they said that my script was not given to me.
I see this is clearly targeting me!
Are teenagers stupid when it comes to influencing teenagers? Do you believe it after just watching a movie? "
In the hotel restaurant.
Lin Zheng was complaining crazily to Li Changsheng, Zhou Xinyi, Cao Desheng, Luo Hong, and Mei Jixing who had just arrived.
Li Changsheng wiped the cold sweat on his head, forced a smile, and said: "Actually... I don't know for sure, what if some teenagers really believe it?
I think those people must have their own pressures and difficulties, long live understanding, long live understanding."
Lin Zhengdao: "The problem is, my first film "Happy Ghost", isn't this completely okay?
The plots of the second and third parts are more positive and healthier than the first part, so why can’t they work?”
"In that case, these reviewers... do have problems. They refused to find a decent reason. Isn't this reason too far-fetched?" Mei Jixing nodded beside him and glanced at Li Changsheng, thinking
Something pointed out.
Cao Desheng looked serious and agreed: "Well said! If you ask me, the person in charge of the review is a complete fool. He doesn't understand movies at all!"
Zhou Xinyi also nodded: "Yes, Director Lin, you have to believe in yourself, your script will definitely be fine.
The problem must lie with those responsible for review! Let me scold him for you!"
Luo Hong was even more unabashedly gloating about his misfortune, standing up and talking without hurting his back: "The person who reviewed the script may indeed have a low IQ. If such an excellent movie is reviewed by me, it will definitely pass!"
"That's right!" Zhou Xinyi answered quickly not to be outdone.
Even though Lin Zheng scolded them very harshly, the few of them felt at ease and even wanted to laugh a little bit.
Because when the review authority is obtained.
Li Changsheng forcibly refused other people's participation and kept the right to decide the script to himself.
So... Li Changsheng can naturally only bear everything now.
Amidst the constant scolding.
Li Changsheng's face turned darker and darker, but he still could only forcefully maintain a smile.
From time to time he would interject a few words, saying things like "long live understanding" and "everything is difficult".
But naturally it had no effect, and I was still tortured by the scolding.
But soon, the topic began to change.
After Luo Hong cursed a few words, she suddenly walked up to Lin Zheng, put her hands on the table, and asked with a smile: "Director Lin, do you think I can participate in your new movie?"
Today Luo Hong is wearing a casual cheongsam and has a proud figure.
The action at this time vividly demonstrated its two important advantages.
Zhou Xinyi, who was next to her, immediately narrowed her eyes, and immediately approached Lin Zheng and said, "I want to act too!"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine." Lin Zheng responded immediately.
There is an actor who comes to your door. Is there any reason why he should not accept it?
At this time, Mei Jixing also stopped talking, pretending to think for a moment, and then suggested: "Since they don't pass, there is nothing we can do. We can only think of another script.
Moreover, the scripts of "Happy Ghost" are all set in schools, which does not fit well with Zhifu's apartment.
We can think of a story that happens to happen in an apartment, and then portray Weird as the villain according to the review requirements.
It would be best to add the plot of killing ghosts, I think this way, it should be able to pass the trial."
Lin Zheng was also tired of scolding.
Although he didn't want to accept it, he also knew that it was useless to be tough with the review.
No matter how unhappy he is, the "Happy Ghost" series may not be able to continue filming.
He has to think of a new movie.
Since "Happy Ghost" has been a success.
The new movie will naturally be a comedy ghost movie.
Moreover, it is best if it takes place in an apartment-like environment.
And there's also a ghost as the villain...
It would be best to use the things he extracted from the system, such as "The Great Powerful Tianlong".
Taking into account the existing crew members, the two beauties who plan to participate in the show, as well as various issues such as funding...
One ghost movie after another that he had watched in his previous life flashed rapidly through Lin Zheng's mind.
After a while.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
There was a very suitable movie that appeared in his mind!
