230. I'm in a hurry!
"Uncle, you're helping our competitors. Xu Xiaoxiao said 'heartbroken'.
Although he already knew that Xu Shi would participate in William's movie promotion, when they really met together, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain.
Xu Shi didn't care about Xu Xiaoxiao's complaints, and said with a smile: "How can you say so exaggerated, friends help each other, and I did make a cameo role in his movie." ”
"Uncle, you are the enemy, our movies are all action blockbusters, and they will definitely be compared when the time comes, aren't you afraid of hurting your niece's heart by doing this?" Xu Xiaoxiao pretended to be pitiful.
As soon as Xu Shigang wanted to say something more, the staff over there came to inform him that it was about to start.
Their offline promotion destination this time is the magic capital, and there is nothing special about the publicity method, which is to interact with some audiences, sign autographs, and invite some reporters to come.
Originally, Xu Shi was going to be a little transparent, after all, the protagonists this time were Xu Xiaoxiao and She Yueling, or Cheng Guochao was added.
But he still underestimated his current influence, and as soon as he appeared, the flashing lights in the field were flashing, and the reporters began to pick up long guns and short cannons excitedly, as if they were ready to rush to kill at any time.
And many of the audience in the audience also began to cheer, and some even picked up small signs with Xu Shi's name written on them.
"Director Xu, may I ask what you think of the box office of "God of Medicine"? Are you satisfied or dissatisfied?"
The reporter's first question was not on point, originally Xu Shi didn't pay much attention to him, but after he asked, everyone stared at him, and there was no next question, so it was not easy for him to pretend that he didn't hear.
"Ahem, of course I'm very satisfied, how can such a box office not be satisfied, thanks to everyone's support and love, thank you!" said Xu Shi and thanked the audience.
This action once again drew cheers from these spectators!
It can also be seen from this that Xu Shi's current fame is indeed very big, and his popularity in the eyes of the audience is also very high.
"This is the promotion of "The Witch", and the questions about "The God of Medicine" are here, you can't let me dominate the crowd, if you really want to ask some questions about "The God of Medicine", you can wait until this is over. Xu Shi had to start getting vaccinated.
At the same time, his eyes also looked at Cheng Guochao, meaning that you didn't give money, otherwise why would you be so faceless?
Cheng Guochao was also a little speechless when he saw Xu Shi's eyes, of course the money was given, but your fame is too great.
However, with Xu Shi's words, the topic quickly returned to the topic.
But when Xu Shi thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, the reporters stuffed the microphone in front of him again.
"Director Xu, can you talk about the movie "The Witch"? This is the second part of "One Man's Martial Arts", can you tell me what is the difference from the first part?" a reporter asked.
Xu Shi thought for a while and said: "Of course there is a difference, and it is quite big, there is only one protagonist in the first "One Man's Martial Arts", that is, Feng Yuxiu, and there are two protagonists in "The Witch", both of which occupy a very important plot. ”
"What, Director Xu, what I'm asking is the content, can you tell me, or is the idea the same?" The reporter was unwilling to be fooled like this.
There is no way, Xu Shi can only say that some dry goods come out.
Of course, there are specific differences, in "One Man's Martial Arts", Feng Yuxiu went to compete for the first place in the world, a large part of which was forced by life, when he was abandoned by the whole world, there was only one obsession in his heart.
And at that time, his idea of competing for the first place in the world was not so pure, not to fight for the first place in the world.
These friends who believe that they have watched "One Man's Martial Arts" should know. ”
"And "The Witch" is different, or a little different, that is, one of the protagonists in it, Xiahou Wu, is fighting for the first place in the world, and her only goal in life is to be the first in the world!
Her purpose is very pure, not mixed with any impurities, so this movie is a pure action movie. ”
Xu Shi thought that what he said was very good, and he said the selling points and differences, but he found that when he finished saying this, not only the reporters, but also many viewers in the audience had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"What kind of expression do you have?" Xu Shi was a little puzzled.
"Ahem, Director Xu, I heard that the screenwriter of this movie is also you. The reporter talked about him left and right, and did not answer Xu Shi's questions directly.
"Yes, I'm one of the screenwriters, what's wrong?" Xu Shi replied.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's Director Xu, do you believe what you just said?"
"Why don't you believe it, I'm not lying!"
"Please think back to the time when "One Man's Martial Arts" and "Hacker" were promoted, at that time you also swore that it was a pure action movie, but what was the result?"
Xu Shi finally understood why these people had such expressions, and his feelings were that he didn't believe his words, which made him a little speechless.
The reporter then handed the microphone to Xu Xiaoxiao and She Yueling, and asked, "Do you have any other opinions on Director Xu's statement just now?" Is this movie a pure action movie as he said?"
She Yueling and Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, both of them were a little distracted.
When everyone looked at their appearance, where could they not understand, and immediately looked at Xu Shi, the meaning is obvious, do you see it, even the two protagonists don't believe your words.
Xu Shi was completely speechless.
"Ahem, no matter what, the action scenes of the movie "The Witch" are the main body of the whole movie, and I believe everyone will enjoy watching it. Xu Shi can only say this in the end.
This is what reporters like the most, and Xu Shi's performance just now is the best topic.
Now many reporters have finished their drafts, and the name is "Xu Shi Says This is a Pure Action Movie"
"Xu Shi was slapped in the face on the spot"
"The Deception of the World"
...........
After this trouble, the atmosphere in the audience was much more relaxed, and even the audience asked a few questions from time to time.
Although Xu Shizai tried his best to avoid stealing the limelight, most of the problems still surrounded him.
However, neither Xu Xiaoxiao nor She Yueling have any opinions on this, and Cheng Guochao is also happy to see it.
Anyway, all they want is the popularity of the movie, and now that the popularity has risen, they naturally have no opinion.
In the back, the topic was once again guided to Xu Shi himself.
"Director Xu, I want to ask, when you were filming "God of Medicine", you fell from the third floor, how did you feel in your heart?"
Although it has been mentioned many times, everyone still talks about it without a trace of boredom.
After all, such a thing is already very topical, and no matter how much it is fried, it will have some heat.
Xu Shi has long had a standard answer to such a question, after all, he has answered it too many times.
"At that time, I was panicked after all, I am also a human being, how can I not panic in such a situation, but it is nothing, after all, there were protective measures at that time, even if I fell straight down from the third floor, there would be no accident. ”
Many reporters have heard Xu Shi's answer I don't know how many times, but this time the reporter's main question is not this, but the following question.
"I heard that you have been blacklisted by all insurance companies because of this injury, is this true?" said the reporter.
In fact, this matter has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, but many people just listen to it for fun, but now it was brought up by a reporter in front of Xu Shi, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Xu Shi coughed dryly and said: "It's not because this time, in fact, since the filming of "One Man's Martial Arts", I have been blacklisted, or our martial arts actors in Jingwumen have basically entered such a list." ”
"Do you have any thoughts on this? Do you want to rebuke these insurance companies because of this?"
Of course, Xu Shi would not be fooled, and said with a serious expression: "Of course not, the insurance company is essentially only a profit-making company, not a charitable company, and I can understand that they do this."
After all, everything in a company must be based on interests, and we, the policyholders, are actually a project.
This project is risky, and the risk is extremely high, and the income is not proportional to the pay, so the insurance company naturally has the right to reject us.
There's nothing to say about this, and I don't have a problem with the insurance company, and I ask this reporter not to talk nonsense. ”
Xu Shi doesn't want to offend people at will, and this is not one insurance company, but all insurance companies.
If he offends all these people, then it will be difficult for him to refine the martial arts sect and his future martial arts school plans.
And as he said, the insurance company is really just a normal company with a profit nature, and there is nothing wrong with that.
After answering this question, Xu Shi looked at the time, and then said embarrassedly: "What, I'll leave first, I'm going to catch up." ”
This side is actually almost over, or it has ended according to the arrangement, but because of Xu Shi's joining, the interests of reporters and the audience have been hooked, so it has been delayed for so long.
After all, Xu Shi basically doesn't participate in any variety shows now, and he rarely even participates in interview shows.
And Xu Shiyou is the fastest and fastest rising star during this time, and the topic is also very high.
Many people who eat melons also want to hear more about Xu Shi's personal life and situation.
There were some necessary press conferences, and Xu Shi rarely appeared in public.
Of course, this is just that most people don't know, in fact, Xu Shi often goes out to hang out, but he wears makeup.
In today's society, a little makeup and a little bit of concealment are basically very few people can recognize.
As for those who are tightly wrapped and still recognized, they are either the kind that they can know when they meet absolute true love fans and turn into ashes.
Either it was done on purpose, or someone leaked the news and went to squat over there.
Xu Shi has never met a true love fan, and no one dares to leak his news at will, so his private life is still very comfortable.
"Rush to the scene?" As soon as Xu Shi's words came out, they immediately aroused the ideas of many reporters, who were not very willing to let Xu Shi go like this, and now they will not.
However, there are also reporters who turn their heads quickly, and they also received an invitation from William, so they reacted immediately.
"Are you talking about the promotion of the film directed by William? I remember that they are also promoting in the magic capital today, it seems that it is not too far from here, and I heard that most of the action scenes in this movie are designed by you?" the reporter asked several questions in a row.
Xu Shi saw that he was guessed, and he didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "That's true." ”
Then he ignored the reporters, said a word to Cheng Guochao, and prepared to leave from behind.
Seeing him leave, many reporters also began to pack their things, and they also needed to go there to participate in the propaganda campaign.
"You kid will also promote our "Witch" when you get there, don't favor one over the other, and you must know that "The Witch" is your own son. Cheng Guochao said in a low voice.
Xu Shi gave him a reassuring look, and then left the place from the backstage.
Originally, this place was about to end, but after Xu Shi left, Cheng Guochao announced the end after a few words.
When Xu Shi came to William's side, he found that this side had already begun.
"Sorry, I'm late. Xu Shi apologized to William.
William said: "It's nothing, it's just right, hurry up and get on stage." ”
"Director William went backstage just now to pick up an important person, he is also a participant in this movie, and he is also a very important person, guess who he is?" the host got the signal and said loudly.
"Xu Shi!" some people in the audience suddenly shouted.
In fact, before this, William's propaganda added Xu Shi, of course he knew who the host was talking about.
"That's right, it's Xu Shi, and now we have Xu Shi!" the host said loudly.
"I'm sorry, I just added the promotion of "The Witch" just now, and I came a little late, sorry. Xu Shi walked up to the stage apologetically and apologized to the audience.
"Director Xu, are you here to participate in the promotional activities of "Passion Speed", or are you here to promote the witch?" said the host a little speechlessly.
Xu Shi advertised "The Witch" this time, and he didn't know what to say.
"Haha, didn't I just explain, I also advertised here at the scene of "The Witch" just now, don't believe you ask them. As he spoke, Xu Shi pointed to the reporters who had just come in.
"Yes, we can testify that Director Xu just gave a big advertisement here at the scene of "The Witch". A reporter shouted.
After some laughter, it quickly got to the point.
"Director William, last time you said that Director Xu made a cameo role in your movie, can you elaborate on this role?" a reporter asked.
William smiled and said: "Of course you can, the role Xu plays in this movie is very powerful, and he is an absolute villain boss." ”
The first question broke out of this hot spot, which immediately made many reporters more excited.
Xu Shi has never played the villain boss, so this will also make people look forward to it.
At this moment, Xu Shi interjected.
"What, in fact, I am also a big boss in the movie "The Witch", so you can make a comparison when the time comes. Xu Shi said with an embarrassed face.
Now everyone was even more speechless, what is going on?
You're not done yet, are you?
Of course, Xu Shi had actually communicated with William and them before, so such a trivial matter was naturally not a problem.
However, this topic is indeed a good topic, which is good for both parties, and it can be regarded as a contrast.
Soon it came to the next question.
"Thomson, I heard that you had a conflict with Director Xu last time and had a fight, is it very true?"
Thomson immediately said: "Of course not, I had a very good relationship with Xu, and it was just a friendly exchange at that time. ”
"Haha, it's a one-sided beating. William laughed and said.
Thomson didn't care either, and immediately said: "Although it was a hanging, it was also a competition." ”
"Thomson, do you have any thoughts on Director Xu's kung fu?"
"Wai Rui Good, very powerful, I admire Xu very much, Chinese martial arts, very powerful!" Thomson's sentence is half in Chinese and half in English.
"I also wanted to apprentice with Xu, but Xu refused, he said that my martial arts qualifications are not very good, which makes me very sad. Thomson looked devastated.
As soon as these words came out, some reporters also began to write in their hearts, and they all thought of the news headlines.
"Thomson praises Chinese martial arts!"
"Chinese Martial Arts vs. American Superstar!"
............
If Xu Shi knew what they thought, it is estimated that he would immediately stuff money into them and let them have more such content.
These topics are exactly what Xu Shi wants.
According to the words of Xu Shi and Thomson, the publicity activities were also carried out very smoothly.
And William, they have also seen Xu Shi's current status in the hearts of Chinese fans, and many questions are asked to Xu Shi, and they seem to have become marginal figures.
This is something they have never encountered before, and they have come to China to promote or to other countries before.
With Hollywood bonuses, they've always been the central focus.
And their fame is also here, not only in Europe and the United States, but also in Asia.
But now, their limelight has been suppressed by Xu Shi.
This effect made William not only not angry, but happy, because he did the right move, and it was indeed the right thing to ask Xu Shi to come over to publicize.
This publicity lasted for a total of two hours, and Xu Shi began to take the initiative to lead the topic to Thomson and others in the second half, and he slowly began to become invisible.
