Chapter 324 Train to Busan is released

The editor-in-chief Wu Qing is indeed very capable.

He first interviewed Zhou Xia and obtained first-hand information, letting readers know that China still has a long way to go in film editing.

Then they dug out the Tiangong images that Jia Lan collaborated with, took out the animations and movies that Tiangong had previously made, and compared them with the post-productions of South Korea and the United States during the same period.

The result is self-evident. China's post-production, especially martial arts films, was the hardest hit and was a terrible sight.

Finally, to sum up, China's film industry still has a long way to go.

We cannot shout slogans every day and stir up people's hearts, and then in the end turn a blind eye to the truth and think we are doing well.

After reading this article, Shen Lang had to admit that Wu Qing was a very capable person.

And the arguments presented are solid.

The key point is that they also took out the finished post-production products of Chinese films during this period and compared them with those of the United States and South Korea during the same period.

Without comparison, no one has any intuitive impression, but once compared, everything will be exposed.

……

The two sides debated back and forth, and there were many people supporting Shen Lang and Wu Qing.

This is exactly the result Shen Lang wanted.

People's attention to "Train to Busan" has increased, and more people have gone to the cinema to watch the movie.

It is undeniable that Wang Yanni's article does lack sufficient evidence. The ecological environment of China's film and television industry is still somewhat different from that of South Korea and the United States.

But who can blame him... Jia Lan has no money?

Now the company’s working capital has been invested in the filming and post-production of the movie.

The funds that can be squeezed out for publicity and promotion are pitifully small.

Twelve million.

It may seem like a lot, but remember, this movie is going to be released throughout Asia and the United States.

Even if we focus on the Asian market, this amount of money is not enough for China alone.

If that’s not enough, then think of other ways.

Shen Lang is still somewhat well-known in China.

But when it comes to Chicken with a Foot Basin and South Korea, Shen Lang's name doesn't work so well.

Twelve million was finally invested by the company in the East Asian market except China.

Therefore, Shen Lang could only settle for the second best.

However, although the overall environment is problematic, Wang Yanni's article did not lie.

Tiangong Image has the real stuff this time.

In just a few months, not only was the filming of the movie completed, but the post-production was also completed.

When the finished film was given to Ting Xianghao and handed over to the director team to dub the actors, Ting Xianghao was terrified.

What speed is this?
But when he saw the finished product, Ting Xianghao fell silent.

Sometimes, we have to admit that the Chinese are indeed capable of getting things done quickly and well, such as the origin of the title "Infrastructure Maniac"!

Things had been relatively harmonious up to this point.

Although Shen Lang's behavior may seem a bit boastful, his values ​​are still relatively positive.

As for Wu Qing, he presents facts and makes sense, and is also a responsible media person.

Shen Lang originally planned to maintain this tacit understanding.

After all, there must be a bottom line to hype, so it’s better to stop when you’re ahead.

However, what he didn't expect was that he had a bottom line and wanted to save face, but some people in the country really had no shame.

……

New Year’s Day holiday.

Train to Busan is released worldwide.

A zombie movie written and starred by a Chinese, attracted countless fans to the cinema to watch this movie. In China, because this movie was written and starred by Shen Lang, and because of the debate he had with Sohu Entertainment some time ago, on the first day of the screening of "Train to Busan", the cinema was full.

Wu Qing is very busy at work on weekdays. Basically, when a new movie comes out, his subordinates rush to the premiere and then come back to report.

But because of what happened last time, he gave himself a rare day off and chose to watch the premiere in the early morning.

During this rare time of relaxation, he even brought his wife and children along.

Wu Qing's family hasn't gone out to watch a movie together for a long time.

My daughter Wu Qian bought popcorn early and was waiting at the ticket gate.

"Mom and Dad, here!" Looking at her parents who had just got in after parking the car, Wu Qian waved desperately in the crowd.

Wu Qing responded with a smile, and then said to his wife Xu Na beside him: "To be honest, although Shen Lang and I had some different opinions about this movie some time ago, I have to admit that Shen Lang's influence in China is really increasing day by day!"

Xu Na nodded and said, "Indeed, your daughter really likes Shen Lang's movies. I heard that you took her to watch Train to Busan. She was so happy that she didn't go to bed until midnight last night!"

Wu Qing held his wife's hand and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work over the years. I'm busy with work and don't have time to take care of the family. You and the children..."

Xu Na smiled slightly: "We are already an old couple, and we will not let our children laugh at us if we say these things!"

At this moment, Wu Qian suddenly appeared in front of the two of them: "Dad, hurry up, the tickets have been checked!"

After the family of three sat down in the screening room, Wu Qian looked at the already full screening room and said, "Shen Lang's movie is so good. So many people came. If it weren't for the difficulty in getting movie tickets, we wouldn't have to drive so far from home!"

Wu Qing asked curiously, "Although Shen Lang has acted in many comedies, some of his movies are still very serious. Are you young people fans of him?"

Wu Qian wrinkled her nose and said, "Comrade Wu, you don't understand this. Shen Lang is very popular among our college classmates. If his movies are to be funny, they are seriously funny. If they are to be serious, they can really make you feel a different life."

"Such a good actor has very strict requirements for the script, and the movie he makes will definitely be good! You are the editor-in-chief of an entertainment website..."

Wu Qing: “…”

Xu Na smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking, it's about to start."

……

"Train to Busan" is now in theaters!
At the beginning of the movie, a strange face of a dummy policeman appears on the screen. Then the camera pulls away and in front of the Jinyang toll station, the dummy policeman is shaking the baton in his hand to direct traffic.

Behind the toll booth, there is a depressing scene with dark clouds filling the sky.

At the very beginning, the movie gave the crowd, who were just whispering, a sense of foreboding.

A truck was stopped by staff wearing anti-epidemic clothing and sprayed with disinfectant when passing through a checkpoint.

The driver's complaints and the staff's explanations gave everyone a sense of familiarity.

It seems as if all this is happening around me.

But the next second, the driver, who was bending down to pick up the phone, suddenly bumped into something.

Everyone's heart suddenly lifted.

Oh no, did he hit someone?

The driver was also scared out of his wits and quickly got out of the car to check.

Only then did everyone see that the driver had hit a deer.

Everyone in the cinema felt relieved.

Wu Qian smiled and said to her father: "Shen Lang is just being mysterious. He scared me!"

"Shh!" Mother Xu Na told her daughter not to speak.

On the big screen, the truck gradually went away, and the deer that was knocked down and bleeding all over the ground suddenly stood up.

There were exclamations in the cinema.

The moment the deer turned its head, everyone clearly saw that its eyes... turned white.

"Ah? This, this deer has turned into a zombie!" Wu Qian whispered in surprise.

Everyone in the cinema felt relieved, but their hearts suddenly rose to their throats again.

Wu Qing, on the other hand, looked at the deer's eyes in surprise.

"Is this the post-production of Tiangong Image? Isn't this too realistic?"
