Early the next morning.

Propaganda site.

Lu Ban drove Liu Xin to the pre-arranged hotel, and after putting on makeup, he glanced at the reporters waiting outside the door through the backstage, and he suddenly frowned slightly-

Reporter, it seems a little less?

Many people think that movie publicity is propaganda for fans, but in fact, it is completely wrong, the scene of a publicity conference can accommodate how many fans, publicity is mainly for the media to see, to attract the attention of the media, and to use the media as a medium to let more people know about this movie, which is the key.

However, to Lu Ban's surprise, there were few reporters.

A few reporters at the scene sat in their seats chatting, and there were a few sporadic tripods and cameras around them.

"Why are there so many people?"

Liang Kesheng stood behind Lu Ban, and it was obvious that he had also seen the situation in the hall.

"Probably ......"

Lu Ban hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe this is the real attitude of the media, this movie is obviously not as popular as other movies in the Spring Festival." ”

Small cost production.

Publicity funds are tight.

are all reasons why this movie is not popular enough, even if it has attracted a wave of attention because of Liu Xin's matter, but this attention is more based on sympathy for Liu Xin, sympathy can be transformed into popularity, but in the eyes of the media, sympathy is not enough to become box office purchasing power.

Other words.

They weren't optimistic about box office sales.

Almost the entire entertainment industry doesn't think that this movie can show its prominence during the Spring Festival, and some people on the Internet even criticize Lu Ban for eating human blood steamed buns, and rubbing the popularity of Liu Xin's mother's car accident case for the sake of movie publicity.

Lu Ban never thought of it that way.

But that doesn't mean others don't think so.

"What's the situation?"

Gao Shan also walked over, he saw Lu Ban and Liang Kesheng looking ugly here, and couldn't help but come over and ask, but when he saw the situation in the field, he was also stunned.

“…… Such a person, huh?"

Gao Shan sighed, and then said, "Why don't you change your day...... It may be that it collided with the news of which company, and such things are common, and if you continue to drive, the effect will not be too good, and it will cause some negative effects. ”

"No need. ”

Lu Ban frowned and shook his head: "The press conference will start in half an hour, and telling the media at this time that it will not be opened is tantamount to slapping yourself in the face, and the media on the scene are not fools, they can naturally see what the reason is." ”

"So what now?" asked Takayama.

Lu Ban said calmly: "Call Liu Xin and Huang Hua over, I have something to tell you." ”

Soon Liu Xin and Huang Hua also came over.

After learning about the situation at the scene, Huang Hua was about to curse, this is her first movie, in the language of the industry, it is a neodymium work, and no one values it more than her.

"Why don't you call now and invite some more media to come over?"

"Time is running out. ”

"Give some red envelopes to the media and ask them to write more good words?"

"It's not that easy. ”

Even Liang Kesheng, who has always been calm, said helplessly: "You must know that in our movie, Lu Ban is at the height of the popularity, and Liu Xin has always been in the second line. ”

In fact, Lu Ban also vaguely guessed this possibility.

It's just that Liang Kesheng said it.

The entertainment industry is so cruel, when you have the slightest threat, someone will definitely stumble on you.

The purpose of this is to make them lose face.

Does face matter?

It may not be important elsewhere, but in the entertainment industry, face is very important.

For the sake of face, some celebrities will even spend money to invite fans to pick up at the airport to create a popular scene.

Celebrities are popular, and the manufacturer's film capital is willing to spend money on celebrities.

If you are willing to spend money, celebrities will appear in the public's field of vision more frequently.

It's a cycle.

It is a cycle that naturally has both benign and vicious.

For example, if Lu Ban's publicity loses face, not to mention the shamelessness of several main creative actors, even the theater side is unwilling to schedule more films, and a movie that has no media willing to attend even publicity, how can you expect the theater chain to increase the number of films?

Even the reporters present at the scene may have asked difficult questions because of this.

It's a tough situation.

Everyone's eyes were on Lu Ban.

"I have a way. ”

Lu Ban smiled and said: "It's just that when I said something that shouldn't be said at the press conference, don't be too surprised, but show an indifferent and reasonable expression." ”

Everyone could only nod their heads in agreement.

After all, at this time, the only way to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor is to treat it as a dead horse.

Although Lu Ban had a smile on his face, he was actually a little bottomless in his heart.

How to say it.

In fact, no one else is to blame for this situation, but mainly to blame Lu Ban himself.

First, there is not enough funding.

Second, Lu Ban's fame has not reached the level where it can call for the box office.

He is only a third-tier artist, and the appeal that a third-tier artist can bring is extremely limited, and the biggest names in this movie are only Gao Shan and Liu Xin, and the heroine Huang Hua is even a little-known little person.

It's no wonder the media is interested.

Ultimately.

Or Lu Ban is not so popular.

Lu Ban thought of what Kong Xi said, and wanted to show it to everyone.

Then this time.

It is necessary to fire this cannon and let everyone know that it will become a box office dark horse for the Spring Festival.

……

There are still 10 minutes left before the start of the information session.

Several reporters in the audience were whispering.

It seems that there will be no other media counterparts coming again, but there are still only a few reporters at the scene, but there are many Liu Xin's fans sitting below holding the sign of "Xinbao come on".

The funniest thing is also a fan of Lu Ban, holding a shoddy sign in his hand.

It reads-

"Luban, Glory Canyon needs you!"

I need your sister.

Lu Ban pursed his lips when he saw it, he knew the person holding the sign, it was the owner of the fried skewer shop next door.

Suddenly.

There was a commotion in the audience.

Several reporters also had bright eyes in their eyes, because they saw a figure from the gate that should not have been there.

"Gu Qiao, it's Gu Qiao!"

"Why is she here?"

"Isn't she a good friend with Lu Ban, and she may have come to support Lu Ban. ”

"I have to tell the others that Gu Qiao's appearance here is big news. ”

A reporter posted a message in the media group, telling everyone that Gu Qiao came to Luban's film promotion meeting.

Kong Xi followed behind Gu Qiao, looking more like Gu Qiao's assistant.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ban asked.

However, his eyes were on Kong Xi.

Kong Xi spread his hands and said: "Huang Hua sent me a message saying that there were not many media at the scene, and my sister heard it, so she said she wanted to come and see it." ”

Lu Ban nodded and said to Gu Qiao, "Thank you." ”

"No, I don't. ”

Gu Qiao's voice was still cold: "I'm just idle and bored, come over and join in the fun, everyone is here." ”

With that, she turned to greet the others.

When he saw Liu Xin, Gu Qiao smiled: "Long time no see." ”

"Long time no see. Liu Xin also laughed.

The eyes of the two men met.

Gu Qiao was cold and tough, and Liu Xin was weak and weak.

Lu Ban had a bit of a headache.

Fortunately, another commotion in the group of reporters attracted everyone's attention.

"Look, it's someone again. ”

", it's Lin Haitang, Gu Qiao and Lin Haitang came to the platform for Lu Ban at the same time?"

"It's incredible. ”

"Who is the old man next to Lin Haitang?"

"I don't know. ”

"I've seen it, it seems to be a professor at Yan University. ”

Lu Ban looked over and saw Lin Haitang and Lu Xun walking in from outside the door.

He hurriedly greeted him.

Lin Haitang may not welcome him so far when he comes, but Lu Xun is different, Lu Xun is a master in the literary world, and he is an elder worthy of respect.

"Old Lu, you ......"

Lu Xun smiled: "I have been trying to contact you during this time, but I have no contact information, two days ago I heard that you have a publicity meeting, I asked Haitang to take me over to have a look." ”

Lu Ban glanced at Lin Haitang, and Lin Haitang smiled slightly.

"What do you have to ask Miss Lin to give me a message, I'll go to you, how dare you bother to go all the way to such a trip. Lu Ban said sincerely.

Lu Xun shook his head, "It's nothing, I'll talk about it later, you take care of your business first." ”

Lu Ban had no choice but to arrange the two of them to sit first.

At this point, the media reporters couldn't sit still.

Many of the reporters in the group who didn't come are already rushing here.

These journalists are a swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes with an unusual sensitivity to the smell of blood, and when they smell it, they will swarm it.

There are only a few minutes left before the pitch starts.

Even if these reporters are scuds, it is unlikely that they will be able to rush over as soon as possible.

And the reporters who came here ahead of time couldn't help but rejoice.

They sat in their seats and waited for the publicity meeting to begin, but they all had mobile phones in their hands, constantly chattering in the media group.

"Look, this trip really didn't go in vain. ”

"I can get my bonus again when I go back. ”

"People are lucky, there is really gold in the. ”

The reporters who couldn't make it were speechless.

There are even some who have given up on the idea of the past, after all, rushing to the past may be the end of the propaganda meeting.

There's no need to be so tired.

suddenly

I don't know who posted a photo in the group.

"Damn, who is this!"

"Willow Branch!"

"Willow Branch is also gone!"

"Damn, I'm going to go over today even if I break my leg. ”

No media reporter hesitated, even if it was a night show, as long as he could get to the scene, it would be worth taking two photos.

Liu Zhi is now a super first-line artist.

Gao Shan stood there stunned, the woman opposite was familiar and unfamiliar.

"Long time no see. ”

"yes, long time no see. ”

Not far away, Lu Ban stood aside and frowned, firstly because he didn't know if the willow branches would have any impact on the high mountains, and secondly-

With so many big-name artists gathered here, it doesn't seem to be necessarily a good thing.
