Originally, it was just a small piece of news for a small production team to start shooting a new drama.
However, if the news involved Hong Jingbao and…the recent sale of Hongsheng Building, it would be different.
"Mysterious rich young master entering the entertainment industry, what is his intention?"》
" The mysterious rich young master who took over Hongsheng Building invested in a new drama. Filming starts today."
" The Unforgettable Story of the Mysterious Rich Young Master and Li Xiaofeng "
'Hong Jingbao Becomes Producer of New Series, Is It the Prelude to Leaving Jiahe?》
《……》
The entertainment media had painted Lu Zhou as a mysterious young master from a wealthy family. Some people even created a virtual identity.
It didn't matter if it was real or fake, as long as it could attract the attention of the audience.
Moreover, Lu Zhou's purchase of the Hongsheng Building and the change of its name to the Shengtang Building caused a small sensation.
Many people were guessing his true identity.
Therefore, when the news came out, it immediately attracted a small amount of attention.
Lu Zhou did this on purpose.
He needed to borrow the power of these media outlets to promote his new drama and the Shengtang Building.
It achieved the effect he wanted.
After the entertainment news was released, many people immediately paid attention to his Shengtang Building and his new drama, Mr. Zombie.
And it was free publicity.
……
"I really envy these rich people. A few million is like a few dozen yuan. They can take it out casually. If only I had that much money.”
Many people couldn't help but sigh after reading the news.
"What a pity. We don't have much hope in this life.”
"I wonder which rich second generation this young man is. He actually bought Hongsheng Building so easily.”
"I was wondering why I couldn't find the Hongsheng Building. It turned out to be the Shengtang Building.”
"The atmosphere in the entertainment industry is getting worse and worse.”
"Why would Hong Jingbao be the producer of this drama? Is he leaving Jiahe?"
"The new drama is called Mr. Zombie? Is this a horror movie?"
"I like horror movies…but why is he called Mr. Zombie? This name sounds weird."
"I heard that this drama was filmed by a new director.”
"Don't worry. Although the director is a newcomer, the quality of Hong Jingbao's movie is guaranteed.”
“……”
After reading the news, the audience started discussing it after dinner, and the popularity of the news immediately rose.
It was still there.
The publicity effect was really good.
Especially in an era where information was not developed enough.
Otherwise, a movie made by such a newcomer director would definitely be unknown.
The only pity was that the Internet hadn't risen in this era, let alone social media like Weibo and Facebook.
This effect was beyond Lu Zhou's expectations.
……
After the opening ceremony ended.
The production team was about to officially start filming.
They did not have much time left.
Liu Guanwei had already made a promise to Lu Zhou that he would finish filming in 60 days.
Hence, time was tight.
Before the filming started, Liu Guanwei had already sent people to carry a dozen coffins that he had obtained from somewhere. They were placed in a manor.
Zhuangzi was actually the 'mortuary' in the movie.
The mortuary was a special place to temporarily store unburied coffins.
In the early years, when the Chinese migrated from the mainland to Hong Kong or worked overseas to make a living, they hoped to be buried in their hometown after their death. For a period of time before the descendants were fully prepared and moved to the ancestral cemetery, the mortuary provided a place for the coffins or bones to be temporarily placed.。
There were no mortuary in Hong Kong anymore. Although freedom of burial was emphasized, there were still more people who chose to be cremated.
There were still some old houses left.
When Liu Guanwei went out some time ago, he had specially found such a place.
The environment here was very suitable…for the background of the Republic of China.
This was because Mr. Zombie's story was set in the Republic of China.
It was true that watching a horror movie was not something that ordinary people could bear. Just the strange atmosphere alone was already unbearable for many people.
Fortunately, it was still daytime. The test would only be at night.
The first scene of the day was a night scene.
Therefore, everyone rested in batches during the day. Some people rested first, while others worked first.
Some props and whatnot had to be prepared.
"This is my Daoist robe?"
Ninth Uncle also got his own Taoist robe. When he put it on, it was exactly the same as in the movies.
"Wow, Ninth Uncle…you look really good in it.”
His face was filled with righteousness.
Just the aura on his body was probably enough to scare off the evil spirits.
"Ahem, is it really okay?" Ninth Uncle was also a little embarrassed.
Although he had studied some Taoist classics, he was still a little nervous when he put on the Daoist robe.
What Ninth Uncle didn't know was that this image of him would become the most iconic image of him on the screen, a character that no one could surpass.
"It's really not bad."
After receiving praise from others, Ninth Uncle was also secretly pleased, but he did not show it on his face.
After Ninth Uncle tried on the clothes, he changed them back.
However, he did not change into his usual clothes. Instead, he changed into a long robe that belonged to the Republic of China.
……
Next, everyone prepared to rest for the night's filming.
The first scene at night was the test.
Because this was Liu Guanwei's first time acting as a director, he was extremely nervous and didn't feel sleepy at all.
While the others were resting, he was patrolling the crew to see if there was anything missing.
Just like that…
Time passed quickly, and it was finally time for the first scene to start shooting.
"Stage supervisor, contact the various departments and prepare to start filming the first scene.”
"Are the cameras in place?"
"Lights?"
"Where are the actors? Are you done with your makeup?"
