Backstage of the press conference.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a fake traffic. Ji Ming "hid his face" and apologized: "I can't get more schedules for the movie, I really can't live with my father and fellow villagers, the second uncle at the head of the village, the little widow at the end of the village, and my seventh uncle, it's all my fault." ”

In the small room backstage, these main creators who put on makeup, Wang Juan of Penguin talked about the film schedule, and Ji Ming acted in it.

Helpless.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be like that.

He plays like this because everyone understands that Ji Ming will definitely make a big contribution to the schedule that "Immortals Descent" can set now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first. The fan box office driven by the traffic itself is nothing, according to the ticket price of the summer file, 3D and 2D are generally 36 yuan, and the 2D one is a little lower, about 30. 100,000 fans, which is only three or four million box office.

For tens of millions of box office movies, the proportion is already negligible, and for hundreds of millions, or even billions, it definitely has little to do with fans.

The value of traffic is reflected in the exposure, counting the exposure that Ji Ming brought to the movie.

His first starring film.

He was in the limelight on the red carpet in Cannes.

His jury's special performance award was hotly discussed.

Fans will bring the publicity.

……

Every time it is at least tens of millions of popularity, the number of people covered is quite huge. It can be said that including the movie itself, plus Wen Yan, plus Qi Xi, plus 7788, all together, it can't compare to the amount of attention brought by Ji Ming.

"It's asking for credit. Penguin's Wang Juan smiled, for a movie that must be earned, you still droop your face and feel that you may not make enough money, then it will be annoying. She looked at the stationmaster of Xitian Film and Television: "Mr. Zhang, take a look?"

"Ha, Ji Ming is now our customer, our food and clothing parents, it's useless for you to let me see it, I can only say what he says. ”

"Oh, what is Ji Ming's new contract? Hearing such and such a statement, I can't be sure. ”

"What can I say," Yang Ruyi interjected: "In the end, it still depends on Mr. Wang's reward." ”

Wang Juan didn't think that people would mention it to her, and laughed heartily: "I can't ask for it, Ji Ming is willing to cooperate with me every day, I am willing, there is no second word, I can give you a quasi-word here today." ”

"Oh, Mr. Wang, what are you hinting at Ji Ming? every day~~ cooperation?"

Mr. Zhang is also a middle-aged greasy man.

But this joke, even Director Wen and Qi Xi don't think it's a big deal. The bottom line of the entertainment industry, sometimes it's really unimaginable, outsiders think it's a bit too much, a little greasy, and even harassment, disrespect, etc., it's not a thing in the entertainment industry - people don't let you dedicate yourself, and you still ask for others to come and go, what kind of hypocrisy is it? White Lotus, you also grew up in the mud, and you think you really don't stain it.

I don't care about you.

Ji Ming can ignore them.

"Earthquake in the drama circle," Qi Xi said such scary words to Ji Ming in a small whisper with a shocked face: "Really, during that time, all the drama-making, investment, script-writing, director, actor, producer, props, and publicity around me were ...... Everything, really not exaggerated at all, is asking me if I know what is going on with "The Last Emperor". ”

"Haha, what do you mean?"

"That's how you got it, how to make a drama of human art a hit in today's era. ”

"So, is that a conclusion?"

Qi Xi shook his head: "Isn't it nothing, and it won't be so exaggerated to have a conclusion." Speaking of reasons, you, the subject, the media, are all of them, but these reasons don't seem to be so convincing. So what do you think about yourself, as the protagonist at the center of this earthquake?"

Ji Ming pondered for a while and shook his head: "When "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, could anyone have guessed that it could win 5.6 billion box office? "God of Medicine" is the same, can anyone think of it? Unexpectedly, the market is like this, it is difficult for you to predict the appearance of these explosive places, and if you analyze it after they appear, you will not find any conclusive basis." Coincidentally, it happened, everything was ready, and then it was done. ”

Qi Xi thought for a while: "There are still some reasons, right? For example, "God of Medicine" is a commercial film that touches on a rare social issue. The connotation of the author's film, coupled with the operation of commercial films, becomes. ”

"If you say so, the success of "The Last Emperor" may be a leading actor with a genius. ”

“……”

"Hahaha, in fact, I think I must say, maybe the controversy is bigger, and then the quality is really good, and the controversy and popularity in the early stage have been transformed into a kind of word-of-mouth. Then the news was targeted in front of the target group, such as local print media, Douban, and local forums...... Wait, it's really a wonderful state, online and offline, the Internet and reality, young people and old people, young people and people who watch the excitement, all of them are fished in. ”

That's all I can say.

"Hey, what are you two talking about? Wen Yan turned his head and looked at Ji Ming and Wen Yan: "Ji Ming seems to have lost a little weight, the tour is too hard, right?"

"We are talking about touring, in our drama circle, "The Last Emperor" is earthquake-level, not inferior to the shock of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the film market, and everyone has a particularly heated discussion. I'm not seeing myself anymore, so hurry up and learn from it. ”

"Learn from the scriptures~~Ah. ”

Zissy laughed - rolled his eyes.

"We are also talking about "The Last Emperor"," Vice President Liu, who is responsible for the publicity and distribution of "Yu Xian Descending" of Beijing Culture, glanced at the boss Mr. Song, and said with great interest: "An accident that we didn't expect at all this time is "The Last Emperor". Our pusher, when we were pushing in the early stage, was actually a little difficult. Because we all know, we can't compare with the intensity of the publicity of "The Last Night on Earth". ”

Speaking of which, he also glanced at Ji Ming - the penguin also wanted to be fierce, after all, Ji Ming is the top traffic, if he can make hundreds of millions of dollars a few days ago, it will make a lot of money. It's a pity that Ji Ming didn't agree, and Xitian didn't agree, so in the end, it was still safe.

It's right to disagree, Vice President Liu doesn't think Ji Ming is wrong, from Ji Ming's point of view, why should he make himself stinky and make money for you?

"The managers of the theater chain and the theater are very straightforward, saying that you either blow it up, there is a Ji Ming here, and there is no shortage of materials, or you are not willing to pay for it. Since this is the case, there is no way, the popularity of "Night" is high, what is a kiss to love, a kiss to say goodbye to summer, the last limit of summer, all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly, you are Ji Ming, there are awards, Ji Ming, very handsome, Ji Ming, the first - give you the current pre-rehearsal film, I already value Ji Ming very much. ”

Vice President Liu shook his head as he spoke: "It's too difficult, at the beginning, I thought we had to have a twenty-point gap with "Night" at that time, haha." But the turning point came, that is, "The Last Emperor" began to tour, hey, the first was the theater in the capital - the marketing method of "Night" itself is not very convincing to the first-tier cities. So when the popularity of "The Last Emperor" began to evaporate, the theater manager in the capital was relieved, and later directly said that it could be mentioned.

Because the object of the art film and the object of the drama really overlap a little.

Later, it went all the way to Shanghai, Jinling, Hangzhou, and Chang'an...... It's like someone helping us pave the way in front of us, and the ground pushers directly told us, 'One day and one place', Ji Ming traveled to these cities, and the work was much easier than before, and they were almost moved to cry. ”

Ji Ming looked at Director Wen for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

Vice President Liu is really a person who can speak well.

"So Mr. Song, did I save you a lot of trouble?" Ji Ming blinked and looked directly at the boss of Beijing Culture.

"If the box office breaks 100 million, I'll give you a red envelope. If it breaks 500 million, Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, let's make a big bag for Ji Ming together, how about it? Haha. ”

No comments.

This is an industry practice, an unspoken rule, if the box office exceeds expectations, it is necessary to give out red envelopes - at the beginning of "God of Medicine", Ji Ming made a cameo appearance and also took a red envelope of 660,000 yuan, mainly to thank him for the popularity.

If "Immortals Descent" is really as exaggerated as 500 million, a seven-figure red envelope is indispensable, but no matter how much it is, it is unlikely.

"Sister Yang, remember that several CEOs and nobles in the province are busy. ”

"Okay. ”

……

Since the announcement of "Encountering Immortals" has chosen a plain route, today's press conference is also such a tone, it will not be particularly gorgeous, it is a small stage, and the procedure is relatively simple - first of all, of course, it is to broadcast a promotional video, be shortlisted for awards, and all kinds of mentions, and then the director will come to the stage to tell the story, and then the actors will come to the stage to chat, and the reporter will ask questions, and after asking, the promotional song "Encounter with Immortals" will be released, Ji Ming will sing for the first time, and the trailer of the promotional song will be played. After singing, there was a discussion, including Mr. Song of Beijing Culture, Wang Juan of Penguin, Wen Yan, Ji Ming, and the editor-in-chief of "Youth Film Magazine", who also served as the host of the symposium.

Finally finished.

At the beginning, Ji Ming sat below, watching the promotional video, he walked the red carpet in Cannes and accepted the award...... It's still quite touching.

"Ms·right? Zissy muttered to him.

Ji Ming laughed, after returning to China with this question, too many media asked him, but he didn't answer a word, and he didn't say anything to them, so he didn't say anything at this time, and motioned to Qi Xi to continue watching the film.

The director said it was quite short, and then Ji Ming and the others bit their tails and went up one by one.

When it came to the reporter's questioning session, it finally became enthusiastic.

The first question, too straightforward.

"Ji Ming, I want to ask, how much box office do you expect "Immortals to Descent" to have. ”

"The more the merrier. ”

Hey~~~

Official.

""Immortals" was released on the same day as "The Last Night on Earth", and at present, it seems that everyone is more optimistic about the box office of "Night". But in Cannes, the results of "Immortals" are significantly better, so do you think the audience can't keep up with the artistic aesthetics of the festival?"

Ji Ming looked horrified: "Are you saying bad things about our audience?"

"Hahahaha. ”

"All the audience will only be divided into two kinds, one is to watch the movie, that is our bosom friend, our food and clothing parents, so I must be very grateful. The other one is that they haven't seen it, they just haven't seen your movie, so they don't want to be talked about, right? I think we still have the ego to think that our work is enough to serve as an aesthetic division, which is too arrogant. ”

It doesn't leak.

"Two days ago, the film was once again shortlisted for the A-class international film festival, Montreal, one of the five major international film festivals, we have won the Montreal actor before, and Mr. Yao Anlian have won the Montreal actor, but it was five years ago, so do you think you will become the third Montreal Chinese actor?"

"EMM hope should still be there, not so miserable. Ji Ming's face was bitter, which caused laughter: "But in the end, if you can have a good result, it's better to hand it over to the judges, you can't hand it over if you don't want to, right? I also want to go and run away with the trophy by myself, but people definitely can't agree." ”

The questions drilled to Ji Ming's side one by one, so much so that later Ji Ming began to "This question is more appropriate for the director to answer", "Sister Qi Xi is more experienced in this, can you tell me?" "It's still the producer to answer, he knows everything" - become a press conference host.

Until the last question.

Ji Ming has to answer this question himself, it is about "The Last Emperor", this drama has received a very good reversal, both word-of-mouth and box office. So I have two questions, do you expect to win Magnolia or other awards? The second question is that there are rumors that there will be a remake of "The Last Emperor", is it true, will you star in it?"

Ji Ming blinked.

"I said the award, I am fortunate to have it, I look forward to it but don't force it. As for the remake of the movie? I haven't heard of it, and I don't dare to help everyone respond to whether there is or not, if there is, will I act, first of all, there must be, and secondly, someone has to invite me, and then I should have declined, hahahaha, so if you say it, there are really people who won't come to me, it's all your fault. ”

"Are there any plans for a new movie?"

This is shouted out.

Because the time for questions has passed.

The microphone was still in Ji Ming's hand, and when he handed it out, he smiled: "Let's rest first." ”

This press conference still caused a lot of heat, and the significance of the traffic lies in this, such as the promotional song "Yu Xian" and the trailer of the promotional song, which are clicked and played on Weibo, are quite impressive.

The song was written by Ren Suxi, and when she was looking for someone, Ren Suxi said that she could try it - Wen Yan chose it after trying it.

The theme song of "The Nameless" "Hu Guangsheng" is a very good work, which was composed by Ren Suxi, so you don't know where the skill tree of some actors goes.

Although it is called "Yu Xian", it is not that kind of national style tune, it is relatively plain, describing the story of the ancestor of the Dong nationality meeting immortals, and there are some elements of the great song of the Dong nationality in the middle, which sounds quite fresh - Ji Ming, as the starring actor, sings the tune, there is no problem in understanding, coupled with the musical strength, the completion and level of the song itself are also quite high.

The most commented is "the picture is very strong and moving".

In the next ten days or so on the eve of the release, Ji Ming began to run the publicity itinerary, and this is also the first time he has run this - "Immortals" will not go to Kuaiben and other variety shows to promote, and the effect of talk shows is relatively poor, in fact, it is some short film programs.

Play quick questions and quick answers.

Tear up the hot search.

Attend some public events.

He returned to the era of inches, wearing black, white and white, refreshingly, with the same meaning as the characters on the poster, and the media knew that he was here to promote.

Before the release, the last promotional trip outside of the roadshow was to attend an autumn and winter dinner of "ELLE", and the red carpet host must ask:

"Are there any new events coming up? ”

"Our film will be officially released on Friday, August 23rd, and this is also my first starring film work, and I hope you will support it. —Ji Ming.

"Yes, our movie, August 23rd, waiting for everyone. —Zissy.

"Wow, this is a work that won an award at the Cannes Film Festival, right? And it was shortlisted for the Montreal International Film Festival, so you must support Ji Ming and Zixi for this good work. ”

"Thank you. ”

Serious business.

I'm an emotionless advertising machine.

However, this event is still quite sparkling, because the two leading actors of "The Last Night on Earth", Goddess Tang and Huang Jue, as well as the person in charge of publicity and distribution, are also on the scene - Vice President Liu is actually here, and he has to socialize with reporters later, and it is not appropriate to let Ji Ming or his staff do this.

If you don't die, you have to talk about it.

is the same art film, the same is a dramatic encirclement, and it will be released on the same day - there are too many similarities, so that the two films are tied together from the beginning, and the interpretation of the media is about to become fire and water. And in fact, the publicity of "Night" still helped "Immortals", and people brought the name of "Immortals", isn't it also publicity.

Ji Ming: They took advantage of a little bit.

So when the other party comes over and wants to talk, they don't turn around and leave - at least give the media a pat on the back.

We are very peaceful between Chinese art films, look, how beautiful our smiles are, look, how harmonious our chat is, look, that white eye, in fact, because the lights are too dazzling......

"Mr. Liu, you have taken advantage of us a lot. The manager of Huajian Film and Television didn't hold back a roll of his eyes: "You have to have a treat, right?"

"Hahaha," Vice President Liu also smiled but didn't smile: "It's no problem to treat you, Mr. Chen, you can just say the place." But if you want to say that we are stained, I can't agree with it, in many manuscripts, hehe, awards, or something, they all say together, and people think they have taken everything that they don't know, right? Moreover, saying that we are a traditional art film, and "Night" is a avant-garde art film, there are a lot of arguments hahaha. Perhaps, Mr. Chen should treat me to a meal. ”

The actors chatted with each other, but in fact, their ears were pricked up to listen to the excitement.

They are all paid, how is the box office, the actual impact is not big, there is no need to fight cocks like the two CEOs.

"Oh, thank you Mr. Liu for your blessings, if we really have some achievements as you said, we must treat you, and you must not refuse." "Mr. Chen is quite thick-skinned, she didn't wait for Mr. Liu to speak, she actually went towards Ji Ming.

"Teacher Ji Ming, I didn't have a chance to talk about it in Cannes at the beginning, it's a pity. I especially admire you for winning glory for our Chinese films, although the box office is not necessarily directly related to the awards, but we still wish you a victory. ”

I don't really have any.

"Good dreams, come true. ”

"Haha," Mr. Chen has reached this point, he is already very confident, the film schedule is almost decided, what kind of dream, whether Ji Ming means it or not, he doesn't care: "Thank you Jiyan, I also hope that the box office of our movie will be long all the way." I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Ji. ”

When she said the second half of the sentence, she also glanced at Vice President Liu - almost angry.

Ji Ming smiled sincerely.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't really bless me, as long as you bless yourself sincerely, I can do it too - koi are not picky eaters.

"The wish was successful. ”

There is no doubt that this is a wish for "the box office of our film will be all the way to the sun" - but our movie is already "Immortals Descent", not "The Last Night on Earth".

I'm really sorry.

Koi, you're a bit of a bandit.
