Chapter 34 Kick-off Press Conference
Lu Ban thinks that his singing skills are not first-class.
So he has always had a very clear positioning for himself, and he is definitely not a good seedling to be a singer.
But that night, under the anesthetic effect of alcohol,
actually sang the song "My Future Is Not a Dream" with all his might.
I was almost moved to cry-
Fuck, that's what I sang?
A good song, a depressed mood, and expectations for the future, Lu Ban can sing such a song that resonates with countless people.
Looking at the tens of thousands of forwards on Weibo on mobile phones,
Lu Ban rubbed his sour eyes.
"I know my future is not a dream......
I live every minute seriously......"
He had in his mind the image of himself singing the song in a food stall with a guitar in his hoarse voice.
My heart gradually became firm.
maybe
I really have to spend every minute of my life seriously.
In the past two days, even the fried skewer shop next door has replaced "one piece of vegetarian dishes and two pieces of meat dishes" with the song of Lu Ban in the loudspeaker, and even made two fried skewers for Lu Ban for free.
There was encouragement in his eyes.
Lu Ban is speechless, do you need to cheer me on like this?
When did you start to change your personality from a black and red who is hot to a weak star at the bottom, looking forward to changing the style of your fate through hard work?
It's a miserable man.
The preliminary preparations for "Charlotte's Troubles" are almost over, and after the post-production of Liang Kesheng's "Let's Get Married" crew is completely completed, it will officially start.
In the past two days, reporters have passed by from time to time at the entrance of the company.
Lu Ban pretended not to see.
He knows that as long as his name appears on Weibo now, it will inevitably set off a storm.
Although he is still only ranked among the fourth-tier stars in the latest issue of "Star" magazine, none of the fourth-tier stars have such a topic as him.
What netizens are most curious about is the scandal between celebrities.
Especially the relationship between Lu Ban and Gu Qiao.
Although the two of them entered the hotel together and explained it clearly, there were still some dead-eyed netizens who didn't buy it.
Why did Gu Qiao send Lu Ban into the hotel?
Is it okay to drink with Liu Xin that day?
It is said that there are also high mountains.
Liu Xin also often interacts with Lu Ban on Weibo, didn't you see that some time ago, the two of them called each other husband and wife?
Netizens were skeptical.
The reporter was moved.
So during this time, Lu Ban was rarely quiet, Gu Qiao never came, and Liu Xin never saw him, he just read the newspaper in the company every day, drank tea, and chatted with the fried skewer boss next door.
Finally, Liang Kesheng's drama was submitted for review.
Lu Ban also began to prepare for the start-up.
The actors are in place.
Funds in place.
There is still one step left, boot publicity.
Any movie almost starts to build momentum for film promotion from the start-up, and this publicity work will continue from the start-up to the production of news during the filming process until the end of the release.
All the media reporters were surprised to find that they had received an invitation.
"Charlotte's Troubles" launch ceremony press conference?
What movie is this?
The news media companies were stunned, but when they found the name of the director, they suddenly looked like cats smelling fishy-
Chief Director: Lu Ban.
Co-director: Liang Kesheng.
In other words, after Lu Ban left Starlight Entertainment, not only did he not sink, but transformed and started his career as a director?
The most important thing is that
The reporters also saw a familiar name on the list of leading actors.
Mountains.
thereupon
On a sunny morning, the owner of the fried skewers suddenly found that the entrance of the store had almost become a parking lot.
One by one, reporters appeared at the door of "Passerby A Pictures" with long guns and short cannons.
Liang Kesheng stood under the roller shutter door, looking helpless.
According to his idea, it was to rent the hotel venue and hold a beautiful and grand press conference, but Lu Ban insisted on choosing to be at the door of the company.
The reason is simple,
Conform to the character design.
In fact, Lu Ban still has a little selfishness, that is, he wants the five words of passerby A Pictures to really appear in everyone's eyes for the first time.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Ban, and I'm glad to be here to meet you. ”
Lu Ban stood up and took the microphone and said: "Today is the first time in my life to be a director, and this film is also the first film I have directed. ”
In front of him was a very long table, covered with a red cloth.
Sitting next to him were Liang Kesheng, Gao Shan, Huang Hua, Liu Xin, and several actors from the Gatling Comedy Troupe.
What they held today was a press conference.
Also the start-up ceremony.
Lu Ban felt that there was no need to be extravagant and wasteful in the matter of booting, and tossed back and forth a few times, so the two things were merged into one thing.
The main reason is the shortage of funds.
After a brief introduction to the movie and several main creators, it was time for the reporter to ask questions.
The reporters looked at each other.
This is probably the simplest start-up press conference they have ever attended.
- Not even a fruit bowl.
"Hello!"
Finally, a reporter was the first to react, he introduced himself: "I am a reporter of "Entertainment 100%", may I ask Mr. Gao Shan, what made you decide to make a comeback to make this movie?"
This reporter should be a fan of Takayama's feelings.
From the first time he saw Takayama, he looked at him in disbelief.
Gao Shan coughed lightly and said, "First of all, this is not a comeback, and I have never quit the profession of an actor. ”
He glanced at the audience.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've faced so many interviews from reporters.
"If I had to say why I chose this movie. ”
He paused, and said with a smile: "It should be a script written by director Lu Ban." ”
Wow~
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Everyone didn't expect that the script of this movie was written by Lu Ban, because their invitation letter only had the names of the director and actors on it, and there was no other information.
At first, they were still thinking about which famous screenwriter the film would come from.
After all, it is a TV series and movie made by director Liang Kesheng.
No one expected that the screenwriter would be Lu Ban!
"What do you mean, Lu Ban is not only the general director of this movie, but also the screenwriter of this movie?"
The reporter was immediately interested.
"Director Lu, may I ask if what Mr. Gao Shan said is true?"
Lu Ban did not deny it, and nodded with a smile.
The pot suddenly exploded below.
originally thought that the biggest gimmick of this movie was Gao Shan's comeback, but I didn't expect that director Lu Ban successfully stole the scene, and the reason for Gao Shan's comeback turned out to be because of the script written by Lu Ban.
"Director Lu, hello. ”
Another reporter raised his hand and asked: "I also saw your name on the cast list, I don't know this movie, do you play the male lead?"
This is a question that many journalists want to ask at this time.
Who is the male lead in this movie.
Lu Ban smiled: "With Teacher Gao Shan here, I don't dare to play the male lead." ”
He did not answer the reporter's question directly, but praised Gao Shan from the side, and the answer was short and forceful.
And after answering, he quickly said "next".
Liang Kesheng nodded secretly on the side.
At first, he was quite worried that Lu Ban would not be able to deal with these reporters, but he didn't expect Lu Ban to answer every question just right.
Lu Ban didn't say much, and there was not the slightest sign of seizing the limelight in the mountains.
Even when the reporter's attention is about to focus on him, he will quickly respond and draw attention back to the actor again.
This is a necessary quality for a director.
You have to know that in a movie, the audience goes to see the actors' performances, not the director, so at the press conference, what the director has to do is to make the actors pay more attention.
When the reporter asked if Lu Ban was a screenwriter, Lu Ban did not speak, but just nodded slightly.
In this way, many follow-up questions from reporters were avoided.
"This kid really surprised me. Liang Kesheng thought secretly.
The reporter's questions continued.
The boot reception is coming to an end.
From beginning to end, Lu Ban controlled his role very well, leaving enough room for the actor to play.
Liang Kesheng glanced at the time, ready to announce the official launch of "Charlotte's Troubles".
Then
A reporter jerked to his feet.
"Director Lu, may I ask what is the relationship between you and Gu Qiao and Liu Xin?"
Liang Kesheng was stunned, and his face became ugly.
Before the press conference began, he had already greeted various media, and all the questions should be about the movie, and no more lace news questions should be raised.
Liang Kesheng's prestige in the circle is enough to make those media who are ready to move jealous.
They would rather not want these scandals to break the news, than to offend Liang Kesheng because of this.
But
If someone brings it up, don't blame them.
All the media cameras were aimed at Lu Ban and Liu Xin, who was sitting not far away.
"I knew someone was going to ask this question. ”
Lu Ban smiled indifferently, and then said, "You may not believe it when you say it......
They and I really are just friends. ”
......
The start-up press conference ended without danger.
night
Gradually, the sky was filled, and countless stars broke through the night.
The dampness of the autumn night permeated the air.
A hotel not far from Studio City.
All the staff of the crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" had dinner for the first time, and Lu Ban also drank a lot of wine.
It's just that this time it's not as drunk as much.
Gao Shan and Liang Kesheng saved face for him.
When I walked out of the hotel, I had a wine burp and felt a lot smoother.
He thought about it for a while, and still called Gu Qiao.
"Done?" Gu Qiao said coldly after connecting.
Since she got angry that day, Gu Qiao seemed to have become the woman who didn't have the slightest desire to chat, but Lu Ban knew that all this was a disguise.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way to pick him up after he got drunk.
"Just after the press conference, I had dinner and drinks with my colleagues in the crew. Lu Ban answered the phone while rubbing his temples and said, "I just read Weibo, your concert is about to start?"
Gu Qiao snorted: "The day after tomorrow." ”
Her concert has been preparing for a long time, from the time of filming "Let's Get Married", and recently there was a bit of an accident because of the news with Lu Ban, but fortunately, it did not affect the sales of tickets, and now tickets for Gu Qiao's concert online are still hard to find.
Lu Ban smiled: "It's a coincidence, I also happened to turn on the machine here, so I may not be able to go." ”
"Do you have a ticket?" Gu Qiao said.
"Huh?"
Lu Ban was stunned: "You didn't give the ticket to Kong Xi?"
He forgot to ask Kong Xi if he got the tickets, but now it seems that the time of the start of the film and the time of Gu Qiao's concert seem to have collided, and it doesn't matter if he gets the tickets or not.
There seemed to be silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Then Lu Ban heard Gu Qiao's voice, and her voice was not as cold as it was at the beginning, but a little weak.
"I'll let Kong Xi get the tickets at night, and the day after tomorrow...... If you don't shoot night scenes......
I hope you can come. ”
The night breeze is slightly cool.
For some reason, Lu Ban would have a picture of Gu Qiao holding his mobile phone, biting his lip and saying these words.
