Chapter 48: What kind of ghost movies do a group of film reviewers know?
As early as five days ago, Lin Zheng finished shooting all the footage needed for "Happy Ghost".
Then, we had a final meal with the crew.
Then he went alone, taking the footage with him, to look for a special effects company in downtown Li.
Fortunately, in the entire movie, except for the hanging scene in a ruined temple at the beginning, there are no particularly scary scenes.
Even if the parts that require special effects are taken out separately, they have nothing to do with ghost films.
Therefore, Lin Zheng was relatively successful and found a special effects company.
Even the technology and capabilities of this special effects company are mediocre at best.
But it's still much better than what Lin Zheng made himself.
In his previous three films, because there were too many horror scenes, Lin Zheng learned and produced almost all the post-production by himself.
It can be called cheap.
Some really difficult parts can only be omitted.
Of course, Lin Zheng himself was not idle during the days when he was waiting for the special effects to be produced.
He booked a hotel nearby and checked the production progress and quality of the special effects every day.
Use the rest of the space and time for editing.
The special effects are completed and delivered on the same day.
Lin Zheng has also edited the entire "Happy Ghost".
Then replace the parts with special effects.
Use the template tool provided by "Online Cinema" to fill in the subtitles and production information.
The finished movie of "Happy Ghost" is completely completed.
Lin Zheng immediately transferred the video file to the backend of his online theater and submitted it for review.
This review usually takes more than half a month.
And only if it passes the review can it be arranged for release.
After that, the video file was sent to Li Changsheng and the "crew who are not afraid of ghosts" for sharing.
Share the joy of the new film with these friends.
Under normal circumstances, at this time, he usually receives some opinions.
But most of the time he won't change.
It is worth mentioning that Mei Jixing has "resigned" from Secret Media.
In fact, I have already joined Lin Zheng’s crew and work group.
But at that time, he was so absorbed in watching the short video that he didn’t even pay attention to the message prompts on his computer.
After I sent the video files to these friends, it was almost 12 noon.
In order to save money, Lin Zheng checked out directly, took the subway, and headed to the rental house in the north of Lishi.
After I got off the subway, I went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and food, and when I was ready to go home.
Li Changsheng's phone call just happened to come over.
"The filming was great, Director Lin. The four...three of us have watched it twice, and we gained something new each time.
I don’t know when Director Lin plans to release it? We have prepared materials and can cooperate at any time to promote it.”
Li Changsheng on the other end of the phone said a few polite words first, and then asked straight to the point.
Lin Zheng naturally didn't know how much effort Li Changsheng and others had put into cooperating with the promotion of his movie.
He sighed and said helplessly: "I'm not sure about this yet, it depends on the official review.
You also know that the Literary and Art Review Bureau is generally slow, and you may have to wait ten days and a half."
"Yes, that's right! I hope they can review it faster this time."
Li Changsheng answered on the phone.
But in reality, he had already frowned.
They have never been in contact with this literary and art review department, so of course they have no way of knowing.
He immediately decided to call the literary review department later.
Let them speed up "Happy Ghost".
At the same time, another idea emerged in Li Changsheng's mind.
That is to give the review rights of Lin Zheng’s movies directly to their Blade of Destruction department!
Otherwise, there will always be a literary and art review department acting as a middleman, although we don't have to worry about the price difference.
But it's definitely quite troublesome.
Moreover, those people in the literary review department are just a group of people who review movies.
What do they know about ghost movies?
Should the film produced by Lin Zheng be censored and should it be vigorously promoted?
Only their Blade of Destruction department can truly see it.
If they had control over the censorship of Lin Zheng's films.
If some valuable information appears in the movie, they will be able to respond immediately.
If the movie is not suitable for broadcasting, it may have some negative impact on society, and they will fail the review immediately.
However, something like this directly grabs the authority of other departments.
Li Changsheng still couldn't decide on his own.
We can only ask the minister for instructions first, and then let the minister make negotiations...
I will tell the minister exactly at the meeting in three days.
Li Changsheng's thoughts changed rapidly, but on the surface, of course, nothing was revealed.
After exchanging a few words with Lin Zheng, he planned to end the call: "When the review is passed, Director Lin will just remember to notify us in time. We can cooperate with the publicity at any time."
Lin Zheng expressed his sincere gratitude: "I'm really sorry for bothering you so much. I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."
Li Changsheng laughed loudly: "Director Lin, if you can make more good movies related to weirdness, this is the best reward for us!"
With that said, the two finally hung up the phone.
At this time, Lin Zheng was almost at the door of his house.
The place Lin Zheng rented was almost completely deserted.
There is not even a shop where you can buy anything within a thousand meters, and it is completely deserted.
The only resident is Lin Zheng's landlord, the old lady.
This is one of the reasons why rent prices are so cheap.
On weekdays, if Lin Zheng wanted to buy something, he would have to travel far to find a store.
So he usually buys a lot of them when he goes out.
At this time, he was holding two huge bags in his right hand, filled with various foods and daily necessities.
Together they weigh more than thirty kilograms.
Even with twenty years of skill, he could carry such a heavy thing and walk such a long distance with only one hand.
He also felt quite stressed.
Put the phone in your pocket and transfer the bag to your left hand.
When I looked at my right hand, I saw that there were two deep marks on it.
This made Lin Zheng even more depressed.
Over the past few days, he has long discovered that although his strength has improved.
However, the strength of the body has not been greatly improved, and it is still at the level of a mortal body.
“It shouldn’t be, obviously my face can break even the old landlady’s cat’s teeth...
Could it be that the cat is too old and has loose teeth?"
He continued to move forward while thinking.
But at this time.
With a "squeak..."
More than fifty meters ahead, there is a three-story small foreign-style building with a door that is rarely opened on weekdays.
Suddenly, someone pushed him away from inside.
Then, a woman Lin Zheng had never seen before walked out of the door.
