Chapter 167 Hot Summer File (Asking for Subscription Support)
Although he had returned to Kyoto separately from the crew, and despite Peng Yichen's various camouflage measures, when he walked out of the airport exit, he was still surrounded by a large number of reporters and fans.
This time, Yu Jing was filming in other places, but there were no bodyguards to help him get out of trouble.
Just when he was a little overwhelmed, a young man rushed over with a few airport security guards, grabbed him, and led him out.
Although Peng Yichen didn't know this young man, the work card hanging on his chest was obviously printed with the logo of "Chen Jing Studio", so he didn't resist and walked out with this young man.
After passing through the layers of reporters, even if Peng Yichen was wearing big sunglasses, he could still feel the dazzling flash penetrating through the side of the glasses, constantly stimulating his eyes.
Finally squeezed out of the airport and got into the business car sent by the studio to pick him up, Peng Yichen suddenly had a feeling of escaping.
But the reporters outside the car were still unwilling to let go of Peng Yichen, and a large group of reporters ran to the front of the car, raised the camera and kept pressing the shutter on the inside of the car, and the entire carriage was illuminated, which made Peng Yichen quite overwhelmed.
And the young man who rushed out with him all the way began to introduce himself at this time: "Teacher Peng, I am Ji Xiaoxin, a newcomer who was just recruited by the studio last week, and I will be responsible for following you in the future and helping you complete some daily chores when you go out to work." ”
Peng Yichen, whether when he was in Huimin Film and Television, or after opening his own studio, never thought of bringing a group of assistants, imagers or bodyguards with him.
After all, his usual job is to make movies and act in movies, there are almost no commercial performances, and he participates in few public events and TV shows.
So he always thought he didn't need someone to follow.
But recently, as his workload has increased, he has slowly realized that he may not need a group of people to follow him, but if he has an assistant by his side to help with some daily chores, it can really save him a lot of time and energy.
Unexpectedly, he told Sun Yizou about this idea in less than a week, and people had already arranged a good person for him.
Looking at the immature but very serious and sincere Ji Xiaoxin in front of him, Peng Yichen smiled and nodded, "Okay, I know." After that, I will ask you to take care of it. ”
Ji Xiaoxin nodded flatteredly, "It's okay, Teacher Peng, it's all what I should do." You don't know, before I came to the company, I liked you very much and have always been a big fan of yours. ”
Peng Yichen smiled and nodded, "Then thank you for your support." Okay, let's go back to the office first. ”
Ji Xiaoxin nodded, patted the driver's shoulder in the driver's seat, and signaled that he was ready to go.
The driver is also a veteran, I saw that he quickly started the car, and then slowly drove forward, the front of the car soon reached a large group of reporters, at least ten people at a rough glance, and there were many reporters on both sides of the glass to the inside of the car constantly pressed the shutter, they also followed the start of the car, "never abandoned" the door, continue to move forward.
But the driver did not stop the car, but continued to move forward at a pace that was slower than a walk, and the group of reporters in front of him was pushed forward by the front of the car, after all, it is still impossible for the human body to fight against the car.
Then the speed of the car increased little by little, although it only increased from walking to normal walking speed, and the reporters on both sides of the car could still cling closely, but people had already begun to fall behind in front of the front of the car.
Because they all went backwards with the car.
As the car accelerated, they couldn't keep up with the pace of backwards.
So they now have only two options: either get swept under the wheel, or get out of the way.
In fact, at this time, the photos that the reporters wanted to take were almost the same, but Peng Yichen's attitude of not wanting to answer a question made them feel unwilling.
At this time, their lives are threatened, and they can't give up if they don't want to.
So reporters began to get out of the way from the front of the car.
With the first and the second, the speed of the car gradually increased, and when the speed reached the speed of jogging, there was no one in front of the front of the car, but there were still reporters running desperately on both sides.
The driver still increased his speed unhurriedly, and then he could clearly see that the reporters who had been clinging to the car like leeches began to retreat one by one.
After all the reporters had dispersed, the driver stepped on the accelerator and accelerated violently......
Peng Yichen looked back at this time, and saw a large string of unwilling tails behind him still chasing behind, but obviously, they couldn't catch up.
The car drove away, and a large group of reporters could only eat dust in the back.
Ji Xiaoxin watched the driver master skillfully shake off the centralized reporter, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "I must learn this skill." ”
In the future, reporters and fans will definitely besiege Peng Yichen, and he must learn how to deal with it.
Peng Yichen turned his head to look at the group of at least 30 reporters behind him, and asked in a loud voice, "Has anything happened in Kyoto recently? Why are there so many reporters?"
Huimin Film and Television Company and Xiangjiang's Dongxing Film Company officially started the first round of publicity of "One Man, Martial Arts" on Thursday. Although Ji Xiaoxin has only been in the company for a short time, he has obviously done his homework.
He knew the point of Peng Yichen's topic at once.
Generally speaking, Peng Yichen is shooting a new movie in other places, and now that the movie is finished and Peng Yichen has returned to Kyoto, it is very normal for reporters to visit the new movie.
The reason why Peng Yichen staggered the time with the crew and waited for the crew to return to Kyoto two days after returning to Kyoto was to avoid the peak of the reporter's siege.
But the enthusiasm of the reporters who surrounded him at the airport today was obviously exaggerated, and the crowd that came to surround him was too great.
Although Peng Yichen relied on a short film of "Wingless Bird" before, which moved and shed tears for countless people in China, today's scene still exceeded his expectations.
Hearing Ji Xiaoxin's explanation, Peng Yichen was still a little puzzled, it was normal for "One Person, Martial Arts" to start the first round of publicity.
After all, this movie has been scheduled to be released on June 16, and it is now the end of April, and it is normal for Huimin Film and Television and Dongxing Films to start promoting now.
Are these reporters so excited about this?
Sure enough, Ji Xiaoxin continued to introduce: "More importantly, the other two films in the same schedule as "One Man, Martial Arts", including the movies released later, have also begun to be promoted. All three are Hollywood blockbusters. Their recent propaganda offensive has been very fierce, and it seems that they have the meaning of encircling and suppressing "One Man, Martial Arts". ”
Things must start in mid-March, when major film companies in China began to arrange the release schedule of this year's summer films.
Generally speaking, the schedule of the movie is basically determined three months before its release.
It is not impossible that some movies will be set a year ago, because the entire publicity plan of the film will revolve around the release schedule, so the sooner the schedule is determined, the more adequate the film's pre-publicity preparations, and the better the effect will naturally be.
The arrangement of the schedule is very elaborate and knowledgeable, and it is not only a company's business, but also involves the scheduling of other competitor companies, competing works, and the scheduling of major theaters, so arranging the schedule in advance is partly because the schedule of the movie can be adjusted in time to avoid box office competition with movies of the same type.
As for Hollywood films, the screening time in the Chinese film market is limited, and it is necessary to avoid the domestic film protection month. Therefore, it is often concentrated in the three schedules of summer, eleventh, and Christmas.
In previous years, the release time of Hollywood movies in the summer season in China was generally concentrated in mid-July, just to avoid June, the month of domestic film protection.
Hui Min Film and Dongxing Film plan to release "One Man, Martial Arts" on June 16, and there is a big consideration, which is to avoid Hollywood blockbusters released in July.
However, after their schedule was set, the Chinese government and the Xingqi government suddenly signed a new international trade agreement.
The domestic film protection month has been moved to April every year, which is a relatively deserted off-season.
Several Hollywood blockbusters that were originally planned to be released in mid-July immediately changed their schedules to mid-June.
An action blockbuster "Fast Pursuit" filmed by a big director Cameron and starring action superstar Schwarhig will be released a week before the release of "One Man, Martial Arts";
A superhero movie "Spider-Man 3" shot by emerging Hollywood director Dennis and starring Spider-Man professional Toby Maguire, will be released three days before the release of "One Man, Martial Arts".
The last part is "Transformers", which was painstakingly filmed by explosion master Michael Bay for more than a year, and will be released a week after the release of "One Man, Martial Arts".
When the schedule changes of these movies are finished, Huimin Film and Television and Dongxing Movies are stupid.
It's not that they don't have confidence in their films, but for so many years, the box office performance of Hollywood movies in the domestic film market has always been invincible.
Even "Qin Shi Huang", which broke Hollywood's box office in Chinese movies that year, was released during the domestic protection month, and it never competed head-on with Hollywood movies at all.
"One Man, Martial Arts", a "backward" kung fu movie that has no sense of presence in the mainland, except that the protagonist is somewhat famous in the mainland, how can the director and other actors face the front and back attacks of three Hollywood super commercial blockbusters?
But they wanted to release it on a different schedule at this time, but it was too late.
The first round of publicity has been overwhelmingly distributed, and the release time and theaters are all certain, and at this time, the loss of the release is not just money. also offend all the theaters that schedule films for you, and let the audience see your weakness and cowardice in the face of Hollywood movies.
Such a loss cannot be borne by Huimin Film and Television and Dongxing Film.
Ji Xiaoxin explained the way to Peng Yichen, and Peng Yichen finally understood why so many reporters came to surround him.
was originally a simple summer file, but I didn't expect it to become a battlefield that was about to break out in the blink of an eye.
What surprised Peng Yichen even more was that except for the one "Speed Chase" that he hadn't heard of, movies adapted from comics in previous lives, such as "Spider-Man 3" and "Transformers", all appeared in this world.
It seems that the comic book world of this Star Flag Country has not changed much from its previous life.
Now that he is making his first purely commercial kung fu movie, he has to face three such powerful opponents at once.
In the eyes of those media reporters, this time he must be in a catastrophe, and he will definitely experience the first movie Waterloo.
That's probably why they're so excited.
Peng Yichen looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the car window and laughed self-deprecatingly.
