Chapter 42 Boot Conference

The behind-the-scenes staff of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be called luxurious, in addition to the director, starring...

Although the photographer Song Xiaofei is not well-known, he is the chief photographer of "The Grandmaster".

Art designers and costumers are the top professionals in Hong Kong.

Of course, Zhang Junsheng has been with them several times, but Xu Yan, as the last actor to join the group, has never seen these people at all.

"How?"

The girl wore a white hip-wrapping dress, black stockings, and long black hair.

Tall and gentle, concave and convex...

“… Not bad!"

got up and led the way, and by the way, he advised: "They are all a group of people with great professionalism, don't be restrained, but don't be presumptuous!"

"Well, I know. ”

The girl nodded slightly.

After a short time, the two arrived at a nearby restaurant, and the waiter led them to the door of the box, pushed them away, and there was already a full table inside.

Seeing the two of them, they all got up and said hello: "Mr. Zhang!"

"Director!"

"Congratulations yet, you won the Golden Bear Award!"

"It's not a movie, it's just a short film, what is there to congratulate. ”

This sentence is obviously modest!

To what extent is "The Tuner" awesome, it is the first time that it has been used as a pull film topic by the film school.

After it was launched, it accumulated more than 90 million clicks, and soon became the first micro-film to break 100 million clicks.

The audience spontaneously discussed and decided that Zhang Junsheng was definitely a movie genius, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" had not yet been filmed, and there were already a bunch of people's expectations...

It's a pity that there is no big data now, otherwise, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is definitely the first place in the audience's expectation, and even the box office prediction can be released.

hugged a few people, pulled Xu Yan over and introduced: "This is Zhou Xing, the actor of Ning Caichen, you have already seen it before." ”

"Xi Zhongwen, Brother Wen;"

"Yuan Hao, Brother Hua, his acting skills are superb, learn more from him when he is fine on the set;"

"Brother Xiaofei, photographer, if you want to shoot beautifully, you have to have a good relationship with him. ”

"Come, let me introduce, this is Xu Yan, our Nie Xiaoqian, take care of it in the future. ”

The girl hurriedly said hello one by one, well-behaved and gentle, which made a good impression on several people present.

"Let's eat, let's talk while eating!"

With a greeting, several people moved their chopsticks.

"Brother Yuan Bin is still designing actions, let's shoot the drama part first, and we will have a press conference tomorrow, and it will officially start in the afternoon, no problem, right?"

"Nope..."

The preparation of "A Chinese Ghost Story" lasted for 4 months, how could there be a problem with such a long preparation period!

Everything has been ready for a long time, just waiting for the boot to be turned on.

In addition to the main creators behind the scenes of several crews, the rest are producers and two senior assistants sent by the company.

This meal is just a light meal, nothing special.

Before the movie starts, it's normal to get acquainted with each other.

However, to be honest, if Xu Yan is not brought by Zhang Junsheng, or if the project of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is from another family, and Xu Yan attends the party as the heroine, then it is okay, accompanying the wine is a trivial matter, and it is not certain who will rest in bed at night.

……

On the morning of the next day, the launch conference of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was held at the Khaedonian Hotel in Yanjing.

The public relations department invited at least 100 media outlets, and the launch conference was not just a matter of face, but really played a role in publicity.

The film itself is a commodity, and every effort must be made to get the audience to pay for the ticket, and publicity is crucial.

At this stage, film promotion can only be promoted through print media and television, and the Internet is not popular.

No matter how appealing Zhang Junsheng is, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is only his debut novel, and more passers-by in addition to die-hard fans must know "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

Another point is that domestic audiences watch movies very casually, at least at this stage, many people walk into the cinema, see the poster at the door of the theater, or listen to others say which movie is good, before making a decision to watch.

At this time, the promotional role of the movie can be reflected, if the audience has never heard of this movie, it is difficult for him to buy tickets to watch it.

Also, the theater arranges the number of screenings according to the lineup of the movie and the publicity intensity.

The larger the lineup and the better the publicity, the better the movie tends to be at the box office and the more theatrical screenings there are.

On the contrary, if the publicity is not in place and there are fewer people watching, the theater will arrange fewer shows.

In addition to Yuehua's own publicity channels, it also cooperates with Focus Media to produce elevator posters, and also cooperates with Lianzhong Media to promote poster posters...

It is impossible for Zhang Junsheng to hand over the publicity to others, Lianzhong Media, that is, he set up a media company mainly engaged in elevator advertising and flat-screen TV advertising behind his back, the company is called Lianzhong Media, and the founder's name is written as Zhang's father...

At this stage, it is enclosing land, and those who win Beijing and Shanghai will win the world, once they win the Beijing and Shanghai lots, the rest is a matter of time!

……

"I think it's a bit risky, even if the actors are all young newcomers, they are all mainland actors, who doesn't know that mainland actors can't sell at the box office!"

Several reporters are whispering about the lineup of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the production level...

"I heard that I invested 100 million!"

"It's useless to invest 200 million, if the actors can't be selected, the movie won't sell!"

This is the general consensus, Xiangjiang and Taiwan actors are very valuable, and the so-called co-productions are often our first-line actors as supporting roles, and the newcomers they promote play the leading roles.

What many people say, the entertainment industry depends on its own ability.

Those who step on horses, the starting point is different, where does it come from, each with his own ability?

The first drama is Junqi Zhao playing a supporting role, she is the absolute female number one, do you rely on your ability?

Without the strong promotion of the financier and the big director, Sister Chi Ling, a pure newcomer, why did she star in a blockbuster like "Red Cliff" with an investment of 800 million?

I invest more than 80% of my own funds, and my local actors can only be supporting roles!

Why?

"A Chinese Ghost Story" held a casting seminar, and a group of people recommended Xie Qiwang, Wu Yan Group and the like, and even some people recommended F4...

Neurotic, Lao Tzu invested 40 million, and then he couldn't play the leading role?

It's not such a way to send warmth!

"Don't be nervous two of you, if you have any difficult questions, leave them to me, and I will help answer them!"

Zhang Junsheng looked at Zhou Xing and Xu Yan, who were sitting in their respective positions, with 'what to do' written on their faces, and comforted.

Zhou Xing is a little better, after all, he has participated in several press conferences, but he is still a newcomer, and "A Chinese Ghost Story", he is the male number one...

Xu Yan was directly stunned, for the first time in her life!

I originally wanted to ask my agent, hehe, her agent is also the first time to see this kind of big scene, which is similar to her state.

"Actually, that's all it takes to launch the press conference, the reporters can't ask any questions, at most they ask if you have confidence or something, generally speaking, reporters won't be embarrassed for you, you are all tomorrow's stars, who will offend a future actor and actress?"

The two laughed reluctantly...

"In this way, if any reporter provokes you later, make a note of the company they belong to, and when they become famous in the future, ban them!"

“…”

Are you kidding?

Shut down the media?

After chatting for a few words, Xu Yan and Zhou Xing calmed down a little, Xu Wenjing came over, and told him that the time was almost up.

"Alright, let's play!"
