I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Lu Yi glanced at it, and the deadline for the task was three months.

That is to say, by February next year, after the Chinese New Year, Lu Yi's new account will reach 1000 million followers.

"It's a bit difficult."

He thought about it, and decided to search the Internet for relevant information first.

===196. Monster Encyclopedia===

Lu Yi first searched for things like IP, ecology, and worldview.

He saw such a description on the famous knowledge answering website 【Get it】.

"Building an IP closed-loop and movie universe can form a huge information cocoon room in the later stage, so that the audience has no time to pay attention to other similar products. Under the mentality of sunk costs, try the products in the closed-loop one by one, and finally retain users."

Lu Yi doesn't quite understand it, but he can understand that if these things are produced, then everyone will be immersed in the world constructed by a series of movies, and there will be no time to watch other things.

"It seems to be quite powerful."

He searched again how to build such a powerful thing.

I saw that there are several video sites doing it.

For example, iCraft Video Network created a world view called Homeland Project, and invited several famous writers to jointly create an ancient fantasy world. However, Lu Yi looked at the update time of this thing, and the last time it was two years ago It looks like it's getting cold.

There are also some other cultural and creative industries that are doing similar things, but there are very few successful ones.

Lu Jian suddenly felt that it was very difficult.

"However, the task only requires attention, and I can draw unlimited attention, and let the attention increase and it's over."

Lu Jian looked at the comments in [Do you understand] again, and thought so.

He saw a crowdfunding game, which claimed to have a high degree of freedom. It could create a real virtual world, and it was endorsed by a well-known producer. It raised hundreds of millions of funds from the beginning, and it was able to circle a game every year over the years. It's just that the game itself doesn't seem to be on sale at all. Seeing the turmoil in the related investment and share transactions, Lu Yi thought it was a Ponzi scheme.

Therefore, sometimes whether you can make money or get financing has little to do with the actual business, as long as the pie is big enough.

Lu Jian can even make half of the movie to build a car, and it is estimated that someone will invest.

Many students will think that these investors are stupid, spending money on such projects with no return at all.

But in fact, the money invested by these investors is only a small part of their property. As long as one or two of the dozens of projects they invest can make money, they can all return their capital. This is why people with capital will become richer and richer reason.

"I can't be so heartless."

Lu Yi has his own principles. His love for movies even refuses to give him box office and clicks. How can he use movies to cheat people?

But how to start the first step made Lu Jian a little distressed.

He started searching himself again for inspiration.

"The Cry is a movie worth seeing in the cinema, you can hardly experience the shock and fear brought by the big screen on your own small screen, especially sitting in the cinema with hundreds of strangers. The suffocation brought by the dark environment, and more importantly, for your safety, I also recommend that you watch it in a crowded place, so as not to be scared and afraid to climb out of the quilt"

"The pre-sale box office of "Crying" has exceeded 2000 million. As a film that won the gold award at the Yannan College Student Film Festival, this movie is highly anticipated. Some people think that it is the unique atmosphere of the Yannan College Student Film Festival that created it. In view of the popularity of the film among college students, once it enters the public's field of vision, the film may suffer setbacks. For this reason, this reporter made a connection."

"As a director who focuses on horror and horror films, Lu Yi's own strength is beyond doubt, but there are also shortcomings in the film, such as empty connotation, too much emphasis on stimulation and neglect of humanistic feelings, and poor value orientation. Although I haven't watched "Crying" , but I think that an excellent director should combine content and emotion, unify thought and form, and shoot inspiring and valuable movies.”

There are so many comments about him and his films, and with the upcoming national release, the related discussions are getting more and more intense.

Lu Jian casually glanced at these or praised him, or sprayed his comments, and suddenly saw one.

[Summary of the monsters currently appearing in Lu Yi's movies]

Click in, and you will see screenshots of various videos of Lu Jian.

"A doll, living under the bed, elusive, suspected of being able to move instantly, and has an unknown attitude towards humans"

"The pianist haunts the abandoned Jiangcheng Grand Theater. His whole body is burned. He plays frantic music. He can control mannequins to do things for him."

"Flying fish, appearing in the grass of the ruins, similar in appearance to ordinary fish, huge in size, able to fly in mid-air"

"The Ratman appeared in the grass of the ruins. It has a human shape and a mouse-like head. It has a certain intelligence and is in a symbiotic relationship with the flying fish."

In this post, there are pictures and texts showing all the monsters that Lu Juan has appeared in "One Hundred People, One Song" up to now, together with the poster's guesses and descriptions of these monsters.

I have to say, looking back at these monsters, Lu Jian thinks some of them are quite cute.

"Well, in this way, I can actually use The Quiet Place as a prototype to build a movie universe of these exotic lands?"

Lu stumbles after realizing it.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi immediately began to sort out the things he had encountered, sorted out, deleted and changed the details, and combined with the information obtained from the side of some product descriptions in [Silence Department Store], the world background of the section of the capital that will soon be abolished, monsters The information is listed out.

"Many IP derivatives and movie universes are designed to create a world view, which is set very big at the beginning. This is the same as the superhero team movie where many strange heroes appear at once. I want to get it right. In the movie universe, we have to carefully polish each work, increase the audience's sense of substitution through each work, and achieve an immersive experience."

Lu Jian concluded by himself.

He directly sent a message to Song Yunyan's secretary Li Zijian, asking him to introduce him to a team that outsourced the production of web pages, and then threw the part of the information he had compiled to this team, asking them to help him build an official website, and wait until the website is ready , Lu Jian can upload some monsters and exotic materials to create an encyclopedia.

Later, Lu Yi registered a new Weibo and video website account, named [Silence Project].

He is going to build a movie universe based on A Quiet Place, through which he can complete his career development tasks.

After finishing all this, Lu Yi cast his eyes on the file named [Nameless City] in his computer folder.

Since we want to make these, of course we can't draw big cakes, we must come up with real things.

Lu Yi plans to make a short film of "The Nameless City" to promote his project.

===197. Premiere===

From Lu Yi's point of view, although the travel time this time is relatively long, there is actually not enough to show the audience.

For example, the part where he talks about magic with Shia is very important for Lu Jian to understand the Land of Silence and the Kingdom of the Night. It's easy to be mistaken for a riddler.

The whole process of exploring the ruins is the key point.

If this is a stealth movie, Lu Juan feels that there must be a performance of exploring other ruins to get treasures at the beginning, and then a daily portrayal of each person's character and living conditions, and then a villain who invites the protagonist to explore a certain ruin After the protagonist categorically refuses, the villain goes to the ruins by himself or binds the people around the protagonist to force him. When he arrives at the ruins, he spends another half an hour with the ecology of various wonderful monsters and the adventures of the expedition team, and finally enters the ruins. After one operation, the protagonist gets the treasure , Saved friends, escaped from birth.

It's a pity that Lu Jian's adventures don't have so many twists and turns, only the plainness is the truth.

He looked at the available material.

The material obtained with a task exploration degree of 80 is naturally rougher than the perfect evaluation, but Lu Jian thinks it is enough.

At least the most horrifying passages survived.

He estimated that these materials can be made into a short film of about 10 to [-] minutes, starting from getting the map in the wasteland and preparing to explore the ruins, and ending with only Shia and Lu Jian surviving and leaving the ruins.

When thinking of this, Lu Jian stopped looking at the material.

He clicked on a video file.

It was the scene where he and Shia left.

But after the two left, there was still more than half of the progress bar of the video.

He felt a little incomprehensible.

Dragging the progress bar, Lu Jian saw the starry sky passing by and the dawn coming.

Then, the sand on the ground suddenly trembled, and a black bug with a bloated belly came out of the sand, dragging its heavy body, and crawled towards the ruins, leaving irregular moving marks on the silver gravel.

"It's still alive?"

Lu Jian was a little surprised.

He didn't know if this was the queen's body, or if the specific individuals of the bugs were out of control during the constant cannibalism and evolved into a new queen.

Now that the remains of the saint have disappeared, the new queen may not be able to reach the previous strength, but this strange vitality still makes Lu Jian feel a little horrified.

Moreover, maybe this little bug has already remembered himself, and if he goes to the wasteland next time, this bug will come chasing Lu Lian like a resentful woman.

"hiss--"

Thinking of this, Lu Jian took a breath of the really cold air.

"Fortunately, I shouldn't choose to go to the wasteland next time, so I can temporarily escape."

He decided to use this paragraph as the ending, leaving suspense.

In Jiangcheng in December, it became very cold.

Making this short film is simply a child's play for Lu Juan. He has already made independent theater films. Will he overturn in front of such a small short film?

impossible.

His phone vibrated, and a message popped up, which was the schedule of the premiere from the Film Association.

"Crying" will be screened in theaters across the country at 25:[-] tonight, that is, at [-]:[-] on December [-]th. It is considered to be in time for the end of the year. The theaters in Jiangcheng want Lu Yi to attend a premiere.

Lu Yi didn't refuse. After all, he still wanted to give face to the theaters. What's more, he was also planning to announce his new plan at the premiere to earn the most attention.

The webpage has been completed, and the materials of several foreign regions have also been uploaded, just waiting for the time to go online.

Lu Juan replied to the message, stood up, and went to the bathroom. Lu Juan in the mirror seemed a little cold and shivering. Lu Juan washed his face with cold water to refresh himself.

Back in the house, he glanced at the two clouds of mist on the bed, smiled, and didn't disturb their sleep.

Having nothing to do, Lu Jian briefly confirmed his [last words] equipment.

Due to the evolution of the ability, the original five-round magazine has not been able to keep up with the version, and Lu Jian has optimized it.

The ravings of a great being are naturally preserved.

"Lucky Come" will definitely be kept, but Lu Yi has transformed and upgraded it, and completed the collection himself.

The current speech bomb can make the hit person dance a very shameful dance while singing good luck, which can be said to be a very strong control ability.

The ultrasonic waves used for detection did not move, but the infrasonic waves and shock bombs had been washed away by Lu Jian.

One of them became the moving state of a high-speed car, which could make Lu Jian himself or the person who was hit quickly move a distance of more than ten meters in a certain direction.

He originally wanted to try rockets or missiles, or supersonic fighter jets.

But then Lu Jian discovered one thing, that is, although [last words] can copy the state of motion, it cannot copy the strength of the structure.

That is to say, although he can record the cruise of a supersonic fighter jet and fly at that speed himself, his body can't bear it and he will collapse directly.

The reason why he came to this conclusion was, of course, because he had tried.
