Chapter 589: Performance Pressure

The National Day holiday in 2018 is still a 7-day holiday, because October 1 happens to be a Monday, so September 29 and 30 are two days off. Several films released on the National Day are set on the 30th.

"Daughter Country", "Wushuang", "Shadow", "Li Cha's Aunt", "Fat Man Squad", the five films were released on the same day, which is a rare movie-watching holiday in the eyes of the audience, but for several films, it means competition.

Fortunately, the scale of today's Chinese film market is large enough, although there is competition, it is not so miserable.

Several of the films are produced by multiple companies, and the producers and distributors behind them are You Have Me and I Have You.

For example, Bona Pictures participated in the production and distribution of "Daughter Country", "Shadow" and "Wushuang" respectively. Wanda and its five states film distribution participated in "Fat Squad" and "Daughter Country" respectively.

When the film company is promoting, because of various considerations, there is a lot less gunpowder than in the past.

Although Longlin Pictures has not invested in several other films, because "Daughter Country" is not a work directed by Lu Lin, the confidence is a little lacking after all, and the promotion is not as domineering as before.

More careful self-media people analyzed that Director Lu Lin has been much more humble in the face of the media since he received the certificate.

We media people have blindly analyzed, but Lu Lin's real idea is that in the era of 3D special effects, it is difficult for him to shoot any shocking works.

Cinema is ultimately a visual art. For example, when Bruce Lee's movie first came out, his sharp fighting style shocked the world.

Then there is Cheng Long's fighting style, which stimulates the audience's senses with various thrilling actions again and again.

Later, WIA used the magic world created by large-scale use of 3D technology and special effects.

The audience who saw this at first was amazed and emotional, but after a few years, they turned a blind eye.

To be honest, in '18 and '19, and even in the next few years, if there is no huge improvement in film technology, it will be quite difficult to come up with another film that will make audiences all over the world crazy or as shocked as when "Avatar" first appeared.

Unless VR movies or other film technologies that can bring people more shocks appear.

It was Lu Lin who decided to keep a low profile for the time being before his VR movie went on the market and made a fortune in a muffled voice.

Of course, the movie still has to be made, and the money still has to be made, especially now that Longlin Pictures has been listed, the stock price and performance issues are all things that Lu Lin needs to consider.

In the conference room of Dragon Scale Pictures, Lu Lin, Song Ge, Gao Hongze, Zhang Miao and other executives participated in the meeting to discuss the publicity and distribution of "Daughter Country".

This film Longlin Pictures has the most investment, and at the same time is fully responsible for the publicity and distribution, and those from other companies can notify the results.

Dong Yi, the person in charge of the publicity and distribution department, held the red laser teaching pen and pointed to the PPT plan explanation on the screen.

"This time, the focus of publicity is on Director Lu and Miss Jing Xiang, following the origin of the White Snake, once again interpreting the love of the past and present lives, coupled with Director Lu's reputation in special effects, I believe it will attract a lot of ...... from the audience. ”

Longlin Pictures has developed rapidly in recent years, and the publicity and distribution department is said to have rich experience, what ticket supplement, all kinds of advertising, advertorials and other publicity methods can be described as familiar, but in fact, there is no need for Lu Lin, what does Song Ge worry about. This meeting is only to determine the key direction of propaganda.

Lu Lin looked at the others and said, "There's nothing wrong with me here, if everyone thinks it's okay, let's do this!"

Everyone looked at each other, and there was no objection. The plan was passed, and it was quickly implemented, and for a while, all kinds of entertainment news advertorials about Lu Lin and Jing Xiang increased sharply, and many netizens often swiped the headlines to see a news about Lu Lin or Jing Xiang, and more directly talked about the Long Lin version of "Daughter Country".

Some articles speculated wildly: The reason why this drama was filmed was because Xinghao Company wanted to invite Zhao Liying to play the role of the daughter of the country, Zhao fell in love with Lu Lin in his heart, wanted to play a couple with Lu in the film, and also wanted to ask Jing Yan to play the scorpion spirit in the film to match her.

But Jing can get Lu Lin, the director of Lu Da who all actresses in the entertainment industry are worried about, which is a simple character. After she joined the crew, she co-directed various dramas, turned herself into the protagonist, made Zhao's daughter a big supporting role, and also performed a moving love story.

Why did the scorpion essence sting, it was because the golden cicada she admired was degraded to the lower realm by the Buddha, and the scorpion essence was uneven and went to the Buddha to theorize, and the Buddha ignored her and pushed it casually, but instead of suppressing it, she was stung by the scorpion essence......"

The truth and falsehood in an article are quite similar, which has attracted many netizens to watch and discuss it.

There are also many self-media, taking advantage of this shareholder wind, to turn out the discord between Jing Yan and Zhao Liying in the Zhuxian crew, and exaggerate it.

In a luxury villa in western Beijing, Miss Jing Yan wore a pair of shorts and a camisole and leaned lazily on the sofa with her mobile phone, and said: "How can these people be so good at making up, if I didn't say what the party said, I would have believed it!"

Lu Lin laughed and said: "It's normal, when it comes to rumors, people are professional, so they point to this to eat!"

The young lady was stunned, "Yes!" and then said: "But in this movie, I do have a lot of scenes, it seems that there are really more scenes than Yingbao!" After speaking, I tried to recall what I saw on the day of the film.

Lu Lin said: "There is no doubt about it, in terms of the length of the scene, you are the first protagonist of this play." Mr. Xu likes to subvert the classics and be unconventional. He smiled proudly and made the Oriental undefeated a classic. In Journey to the West, it is also expected that the scorpion essence will be filmed as the protagonist and the daughter of the country will accompany him. ”

The young lady put down her mobile phone, bent her big eyes into crescents, smiled sweetly, and asked, "Then what do you think of my performance?"

Lu Lin immediately said: "Very good, you performed a scorpion spirit comparable to Xiaobai, really after this drama is broadcast, this role will become one of your classic masterpieces." ”

The young lady was overjoyed when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Really?"

Lu Lin said: "Of course, when did I lie to you?"

The young lady bit the nail of her right index finger, tilted her head and thought carefully, and said uncertainly: No!"

Then he said: "Oh, I just wanted to play a big monster at the time, it's fun, and this is the protagonist, do you think Yingbao will be very sad now?"

Lu Lin said in his heart: "Do you need to say this, for sure?"

Jing Yan immediately said: "Then you can open another one for her in the future, but you two are not allowed to play a couple!"
