Xiao He swallowed all his words.
"But that move of yours just now would be perfect for a horror movie."
Liu Rulan looked Xiao He up and down, then got into work mode and began to think seriously, seemingly searching her mind for a suitable script.
But soon, regret showed on her face.
"It's a pity that there isn't much of a market for ghost movies right now, and there aren't any suitable scripts either."
Otherwise, Xiao He's move would have been enough to amaze the director.
Xiao He shrugged: "How about I go and play a zombie?"
Liu Rulan's lips twitched, her voice tinged with helplessness: "You should still remember that zombie movie 'Silent Search,' right? It's the production team you auditioned for but failed. Back then, the entire production team got into trouble, from the director and producer to the actors and operations staff. They were basically all investigated. Those who were supposed to go to jail went to jail, and the others who managed to escape are now long gone from the industry. The investment of several hundred million yuan went down the drain, and it was pulled from theaters in a sorry state, never to be seen again."
"Since then, there have been no more zombie movies in the industry."
Liu Rulan said with a hint of regret, "Given the influence of 'Silent Search,' it's possible that no one in China will dare to touch zombie movies again in the next five years."
That was one of the most disastrous investment projects in the industry in recent years, and a bloody lesson that scared away almost everyone who was still observing this market.
So Xiao He still wants to act in zombie movies?
Haha, there won't even be any zombie-themed movies anymore, let alone zombies.
Xiao He: "...The impact is actually this serious?"
Liu Rulan sighed: "That's how the capital market is. When a theme fails, other capital is naturally unwilling to invest in it. When a theme can easily succeed, it naturally becomes a template to be used, and countless capital will rush to it."
The failure of each major investment project undoubtedly signals the cessation of development for that particular theme.
Although it may only be temporary, no one wants to continue being a pioneer.
For example, the zombie genre now, and science fiction films from the past.
Upon hearing this, Xiao He could only sigh.
To be honest, hearing the name "Mo Xun" again felt like something from a past life. All the people he had met back then had gradually left the big stage of the Chinese entertainment industry, and Xiao He had never seen those old friends again.
However, Xiao He still felt a lot of regret about Tong Junhui, the former artist associated with Liu Rulan.
"After that incident..."
Xiao He hesitated, carefully observing Liu Rulan's expression.
How is Tong Junhui?
Tong Junhui's face was injured, and he also withdrew from the entertainment industry again because of the case. Later, Xiao He and others went abroad to film "No Bait". In the blink of an eye, Xiao He has never heard any news about Tong Junhui, and Tong Junhui has not been mentioned on the Internet.
It was as if he had been completely forgotten.
This time, after Xiao He asked the question, Liu Rulan shook her head: "I don't know, he seems to have disappeared completely again."
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize that Tong Junhui was avoiding Liu Rulan, and also avoiding them.
Now that Xiao He's career is going smoothly and without any setbacks, Tong Junhui can't help but feel a little melancholy when he sees them again.
It would be better to just become strangers and never see each other again.
Xiao He then stopped mentioning the matter.
Liu Rulan, however, remained calm and did not show any further emotion regarding Tong Junhui's matter. Instead, she took out her phone to record: "Although you can't act in ghost movies or zombie movies, it's still a skill. I'll add it to your resume in case any director takes a liking to you later."
Xiao He: "...Okay."
But what kind of director would be interested in such a skill?!
