Chapter 268 Wailing Ghosts and Howling Wolves

"I remember there are other novels being serialized right now, right?"

Lu Xuan calculated in his mind and said, "We can take this opportunity to divert some readers."

"At the same time, tell the website editors to have those finished authors try the new directions opened up by these novels."

"Multiple blossoms."

"After all, whether we can gain a firm foothold in the market depends on the quality of the authors and their books."

After Lu Xuan finished the phone call, he returned to the house.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Ying looking at him expectantly.

Lu Xuan smiled, "Now you can join the process."

"First, cut a film, then send the trailer to the publicity department of my company, and strive for a release during the May Day Golden Week."

"I'll also help you contact the theater chains to see if we can arrange for more screenings."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Lin Ying's face.

"Really!"

"Then I'll start preparing now."

Lu Xuan looked at his surprised expression and said.

"The most important task now is to cut the film."

"What we're seeing now are all unedited shots, and the whole thing is almost three hours long."

"That won't do. It's too long. You have to control it within two hours."

"This film is mainly about zombies, so you can make the zombies more prominent."

Lin Ying nodded and said, "Then after I finish cutting it, I'll send the film to you for a look."

"This needs to be fast. We still need the publicity department to create momentum in advance."

"These two films are not the focus of this series. You have to reflect the world view that should be in these two films."

"It's best to connect the timelines of the two films and echo the story from beginning to end. I plan to continue making sequels after this."

"To be honest, I'm very optimistic about this series of films."

"We can even shoot an independent film about other characters in the movie. If we're bold enough, we can even make a zombie movie."

"This is called a cinematic universe!"

"We now want to create a fantasy zombie world universe in the Eastern style!"

The pie that Lu Xuan drew made Lin Ying's jaw drop in surprise.

Listening to Lu Xuan's description, a magnificent universe unfolded before him.

A fantastic universe unique to Eastern culture!

Lu Xuan looked at his appearance and patted him on the shoulder.

"So you must be careful. If it doesn't work, you can reshoot. I have great expectations for this series."

"What you see now is the box office after the movie is released, but if we can create such a universe, then the merchandise, copyrights, and even theme parks are the ways to make big money!"

Lin Ying was completely stunned.

He is a traditional filmmaker.

He would never have thought of these things.

But when he thought of Lu Xuan's plan, Lin Ying couldn't help but look forward to it.

If it could really unfold according to his vision, then the current box office was indeed just peanuts.

Lu Xuan saw that Lin Ying had listened, so he didn't say much.

Chicken soup shouldn't be given too much.

Giving such a big bowl appropriately is good for improving the enthusiasm of your employees, but too much is as bad as too little.

He prefers to speak with facts.

Lu Xuan turned the topic back to the movie.

"I think for this kind of horror movie, the language of the camera is the foundation, but a good background music can definitely add a lot of color."

"When we were watching the movie just now, I found that there was no background music at all, which is a problem for a horror movie."

Lu Xuan saw Lin Ying's embarrassed expression and joked, "I remember there's a popular saying on the internet: if you turn off the sound of a foreign horror movie, you'll feel like you're watching a comedy."

"Our zombies are typical Eastern horror, which is different from those in the West, so even if we don't have background music, we can still achieve good results."

"But adding it will definitely take this horror feeling to the next level."

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't mean to criticize, Lin Ying's face improved a lot, and he laughed along with him.

Then he said.

"Director Lu, it's not that I don't want to find suitable background music. It's that I've chosen a lot, but none of them are suitable."

"Our country is still a blank slate in the field of horror movies. The existing sound effects are all made abroad, and their style doesn't match our tone."

Lu Xuan didn't expect such a situation.

This is indeed a bit difficult to solve.

But Lin Ying changed the topic and said, "I've already entrusted the people from Tianqi Music to help me find a suitable song."

"They don't have any suitable songs in their existing music library."

"But they said they would send me a work by a relatively popular newcomer in their company in my email today."

"It's said to be quite suitable."

"Tianqi Music?" Lu Xuan stroked his chin, thinking about how likely this matter was to succeed.

Tianqi Music is definitely a dominant force in the domestic music field.

If they can't come up with suitable music, then I'm afraid he will have to do it himself.

But that would take too much time.

Just as he was talking, Lin Ying suddenly saw a notification on his phone that he had received an email from Tianqi Music.

"Look, isn't this just the right time? They just sent me the music."

"This should be the latest work they mentioned."

"Director Lu, you're here. If you think it's suitable, let's use this song."

"Sure!"

Lu Xuan had no objections.

He still has a basketful of things to deal with.

The work sent by Tianqi Music was very concise, and the name was very appropriate to the theme of the movie.

《Gui》 (Ghost)

The author's creative concept was briefly introduced above, followed by a music file.

Lin Ying didn't hesitate and directly chose to play it.

The beginning of the music was a traditional suona (Chinese wind instrument), which sounded like it was something.

But as the vocals intervened, Lu Xuan suddenly felt a kind of physiological discomfort.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ai ai ai!!"

The singer was a male singer, and the song was almost filled with his high-pitched voice.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be wailing ghosts and howling wolves.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but frown as he listened.

It could be heard that the singer's vocal conditions were very good.

After all, not everyone can 'wail like ghosts and howl like wolves' so stably.

No emotion, all technique!

But in terms of the melody of the song...

Any combination of music that he casually puts together would be better than this!

"Okay, okay, turn it off!"

He took a deep breath and directly paused the music that was playing halfway.

If he continued listening, his ears would probably be damaged.

Just after the music was paused, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yao shivered unconsciously.

"What the hell was that noise?"
