(The total number of recommended votes is 5,000, and the next time the recommended votes are 25,000)
Zhang Pu still hasn't written a theme song for the new film, which still makes his fans puzzled and his fans dissatisfied.
And Zhang Pu has always emphasized that he is a director in the past, and even when he first studied music, he just felt that as a director, he should know some music.
It's just that creation makes people, but Zhang Pu first became famous with his songs.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Pu seems to have always wanted to get rid of the identity of a musician.
He's more like letting others say he's a director.
This has become the reason why Zhang Pu did not write the theme song for his movie.
Does Zhang Pu want to get rid of the identity of "musician"?
Naturally not!
He didn't regard himself as a musician at all, so naturally he couldn't get rid of his identity as a musician.
He doesn't have to let others treat him as a pure director.
As a director who can write songs, why does he reject it?
He believes that as his film works increase, the first thing that comes to mind when people mention him will be his films, not his songs.
His musical talent can't hide his directing talent!
He has this self-confidence.
Of course, he had the idea of making his own original movie, but he definitely didn't have the idea of writing an original song of his own.
Time is ticking, and the intensity of film promotion is gradually increasing.
The publicity momentum of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is much greater than that of the original "Crazy Stone", but it is difficult to compare with the two blockbusters released on the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, as well as the publicity momentum of the quasi-blockbuster starring Huang Ze.
The cost of filming and production is so much, how much can be invested in publicity?
At the finalized press conference of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", there were fewer media reporters than expected.
"Huaying's face shouldn't be enough, right?" Zhang Pu frowned.
If you want to develop a conference, you naturally need to contact the media beforehand.
Those media reporters won't flock to you when they hear that you're going to have a development conference.
Zhang Pu doesn't have that appeal.
The film "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is even more not.
In fact, this is the case with many films.
This is the case in the entertainment industry, you are in the middle of a topic and it is newsworthy, so the media does not need you to invite you, and the initiative is to find you.
But if you don't have a topic, then if you invite it, people may not come.
For example, if there is no influence like Huaying, only with a small film and television company like Oriental DreamWorks, those media reporters may not give face.
Even if it's a popular blockbuster, a top-level lineup, or even a hot topic, it doesn't matter if people are here for face or for other reasons. Here, you also have to give red envelopes.
This is the unspoken rule of the circle.
is like a big director who offended the media in his previous life, a blockbuster with amazing investment and amazing cast, in seven days of screening, no media reported a word.
Then a "steamed bun" appeared, and then it was fanned by the media, and the result was, don't mention it.
Mixing in the entertainment industry and dealing with the media is definitely a science.
"Boss!" Tan Siming said, "I just heard some reporters talking, and they mentioned that another movie is also holding a press conference at this time. I guess a lot of reporters went over there?"
"Oh, which movie?" Zhang Pu said with a frown.
Under normal circumstances, few films will hold a press conference at the same time, even if it is a film released on one schedule.
"Best Boyfriend!" Tan Siming said.
Tan Siming has long been accustomed to his current work, and he is much better than Zhang Pu expected.
Just like this time, Zhang Pu was still puzzled, he had already found out the reason.
"That's interesting!" Zhang Pu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Isn't "Best Boyfriend" the romance film starring Huang Ze with an investment of nearly 100 million?
There is no need to doubt that the other party must have done it on purpose.
"Coming at you?" Jiang Yun frowned and asked.
"That movie is starring Huang Ze and produced by Orange Entertainment. Zhang Pu smiled and said, "It is also released during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day." ”
Jiang Yun pursed his lips with disdain. He despised this kind of unruly means.
It's true that it's a bit unpopular, but if you attract all the media reporters, then it's a lot of fun.
Zhang Pu and "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" are estimated to be a joke.
However, if there are many media reporters present, will you win you?
Zhang Pu doesn't mind making a conversation about it.
Together, the film "Best Boyfriend" will be mentioned, won't "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" be mentioned?
Didn't this help Zhang Pu publicize?
You must know that the publicity of the film "Best Boyfriend" is much stronger than that of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb".
The press conference began soon, and Zhang Pu and others attended immediately.
Although there were fewer media reporters in the audience than expected, there were no big cats or kittens.
The face will not be lost.
The main creators of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" were almost all present this time, Jiang Yun and Cai Ya, who were not very involved in the publicity, and Xiao Xue, who "cameo-starred", all came.
In addition, Huang Ye and other supporting roles with a lot of scenes also attended.
The process of the press conference is different, but there will be a part where the media reporter asks questions.
"Director Jiang, what are your considerations for taking over this movie? Because Director Zhang is your student? It is rumored that Director Zhang did not pay you for starring in this film, is this really the case?"
The first question asked by the reporter was not the extremely popular Zhang Pu and Xiao Xue, but Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun was also a little surprised, but he had "retired" for many years, but he would not be caught off guard by media reporters for such a question.
"Taking on this play, liking that role is a reason. Jiang Yun said, "Of course, the most important thing is to be tempted by Zhang Pu." ”
"It's not like my ban is about to expire, so he wrote a script and said it was for my salary. Jiang Yun smiled, "I can't put down that script, so naturally I got on his thief ship." ”
"Although my salary is only a script, my wife's salary has increased several times. Jiang Yun then added.
Don't pay your own teachers?
Although there are not many people who believe it, Zhang Pu was indeed scolded for it.
Jiang Yun had heard of it somewhat, so he added such a sentence.
Why Cai Ya's salary has risen several times, it is natural that Jiang Yun's salary is included in it.
However, Jiang Yun starred in this film, probably because of Zhang Pu's script.
This also piqued some curiosity among the journalists present.
"Do you have an opinion?" Cai Ya said lightly.
"No!" Jiang Yun replied very dryly.
Whether it was the reporters in the audience or everyone in the audience, they all laughed when they heard it.
"Director Zhang, what are you thinking about deciding that "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day? Many people on the Internet say that you are inflated, thinking that this low-budget movie can continue the miracle of "Crazy Stone", do you have anything to say about this?"
The reporter's second question was Zhang Pu.
It's also the hottest topic about the movie.
"The film's finalization of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day is the conclusion made by Huaying and Oriental DreamWorks based on market conditions. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Of course, I also support the release of this schedule." ”
""Rhubarb the Loyal Dog" and "Crazy Stone" are completely two different styles, and if they can continue the miracle, it will be the best. I hope, but don't count on. Zhang Pu continued, "As for my inflated statement, it is a bit inexplicable. The film is set for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and I'm inflated?"
