It could be said that anyone who had watched a supernatural film knew about the movie 'The Grudge.'
The global box office had already exceeded 200 million USD, and it was hailed as a monument in the history of paranormal films.
Takashi Shimizu had a full beard and wore a small round hat. He sat in the meeting room with his interpreter beside him. With his rank, he obviously did not need to come out to welcome Hui Yinghong and the others.
Before they arrived, Qian Xiaohao and the others obviously didn't know that such a big shot was sitting in the meeting room. It was only when Mai Junlong introduced them that everyone's jaws dropped.
Who would have thought that such a famous director would actually be the producer of a low-budget movie like Zombie?
Qian Xiaohao was shocked by Mai Junlong's identity.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to hire such a person to be the producer, let alone a small movie with a budget of 10 million.
There weren't many actors, only a dozen or so…and the scene was only in a single apartment building.
The popularity of the " The Grudge " series had made Takashi Shimizu's status reach the level of a Hollywood director.
For this reason, Hollywood had specially let him film a few American versions of The Grudge. The box office and reputation were good.
In fact, the reason why Shimizu Takashi could be the producer was because of Mai Junlong's family.
Mai Junlong's father was the chairman of the famous electronics manufacturing company in Xiangjiang, China Construction Teleportation. This guy was definitely the second generation of Hong Kong, and not an ordinary second generation. The market value of China Construction Teleportation in Xiangjiang was as high as 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it also owned shares of several companies in the mainland, such as Hai Er.
His father's conservative net worth was as high as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
For such a rich man, it was obviously easy for him to hire an international director to be a producer.
"Qingshui-kun, this is the male lead of Zombie, Qian Xiaohao!”
"This is the female lead, Hui Yinghong…"
“……”
Mai Junlong introduced the actors for the audition to Takashi Shimizu. He nodded his head in a friendly manner and pointed at Chen You and Qian Xiaohao while smiling."This is Qiu…Qiu Sheng and Daoist Priest Four-Eyed. Am I right?”
"Haha, right!"
Mai Junlong quickly turned around and said to Qian Xiaohao and the others,""When Director Shimizu was young, he was also very fond of zombie movies, especially Uncle Ying. He was the object of his admiration when he was young!”
"He really likes Chinese ghost culture, especially zombies!”
"Yes, it's really a pity. Mr. Lin Zhengying's death is a loss for the film industry. Otherwise, the zombie movies in Xiangjiang would definitely become the main force of the supernatural movies. When I was filming in the United States, many Hollywood foreigners were full of praise for zombie movies!”
After the interpreter finished Mai Junlong's words, Qingshui Chong immediately sighed.
Qian Xiaohao and the others could not help but sigh.
Hearing that even a Japanese person praised zombie movies so much, they felt gratified, but at the same time, they felt a deep bitterness.
The decline of zombie films was indeed a huge loss for the Chinese film industry.
This was an indisputable fact.
Back then, the Zombie Series was not only popular in Southeast Asia. In fact, many foreigners in Europe and North America were deeply intoxicated by zombies and the ancient Taoism of China.
Just like how they liked kung fu movies.
After all, this was an ancient inheritance unique to Huaxia.
It was a culture derived from the Chinese civilization and had a history of thousands of years.
Zombie films could have become the " Kung Fu films " of supernatural films, opening a window to the world. However, Lin Zhengying's death had completely closed it.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Just as everyone was immersed in the memory of the zombie movie, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Dressed in a suit and with Lin Zhengying's makeup, Lin Zheng appeared in front of everyone.
"Nani?"
Qing Shui Chong thought he was seeing things.
Beside him, Mai Junlong's expression changed 180 degrees in an instant. His mouth was wide open as he stared at Lin Zheng in disbelief. Then, he covered his mouth with his hand, looking completely stunned.
" Ninth…Ninth Uncle?!"
Qing Shui Chong quickly rubbed his eyes. Qian Xiao Hao, Chen You, and the others laughed.
Hui Yinghong and the others also looked like they had seen a ghost.
"Ah Zheng, you have some skill!"
"I thought you were going to wear a Taoist robe again. This modern Ninth Uncle's outfit is so handsome!”
"He's absolutely cool. He's simply a handsome Taoist priest!”
Chen You clicked his tongue and said. Qian Xiaohao's eyes were also filled with admiration,"Sigh, if Uncle Lin had dressed like this back then, his fans would probably have increased by another wave!”
"Xiao…Xiaohao, this…this is what you said?”
"Ninth Uncle's successor?"
Mai Junlong was already a little crazy. He thought he was dreaming. Ninth Uncle, whom he had loved all his life, had actually appeared in front of him just like that.
He was shocked.
"Who can tell me what's going on?”
Qing Shui Chong also scratched his head in confusion. He spread his hands at the interpreter, feeling a little lost.
Didn't Lin Zhengying pass away in an accident?
Why…why was he still alive?!
"Oh, I…I need to calm down!”
Qingshui Chong was stroking his chest while Lin Zheng spoke in Lin Zhengying's voice,""Director Mai, this is the reason why I came to apply for the position of the last Heavenly Master. Now, do I have the qualifications?”
"F * ck, this gave me a fright!”
Mai Junlong smiled bitterly. Qian Xiaohao, who was beside him, teased,"Actually, you're smiling inside, aren't you?”
"Let me tell you, our boss has already set up a project to let Ah Zheng be the male lead of 'The New Mr. Zombie'.' Mr. Zombie 'is going to be remade!”
"What did you say? Mr. Zombie is going to be remade?"
Mai Junlong's eyes widened once again. Beside him, Qing Shui Chong also had a look of shock on his face."Mr. Zombie remake?"
"Yes, it's because the Ninth Uncle that Ah Zheng is playing is too similar…You didn't see his Daoist robe, but he's definitely a 100% divine replica of Uncle Lin. Whether it's his gaze, temperament, Daoist techniques, or skills, they're all exactly the same!”
"Yes, Ah Zheng knows Uncle Lin's martial arts!”
"And his acting skills are also very good!"
"Ah Long, this time…you've picked up a treasure!”
Qian Xiaohao patted Mai Junlong's arm. Mai Junlong swallowed his saliva. He felt that this happiness came too suddenly.
Wasn't this too f * cking beautiful?
Not only in appearance?
Their temperament and skills were similar?
And acting skills?
Why did it sound so f * cking fake? Was there such a good thing in this world?!
"Is what you said true?"
"Why do I feel like you're bragging?”
Mai Junlong looked at Qian Xiaohao in disbelief. Qian Xiaohao couldn't take it anymore."Damn it, Ah Zheng, show him!”
"You're dead. You actually don't believe me!”
"Put on your Daoist robes, show your talents, and kill them!”
Qian Xiaohao said fiercely. Chen You, Zhong Fa, and the others were all laughing.
However, Mai Junlong did not laugh. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Zheng."Ah…Ah Zheng, is what Xiaohao said true?”
