Chapter 222: Title Party
The most respectable thing about an actor is his acting skills.
Huafa will be born, the face will be old, and when such a day comes, the face will not work - hey, it seems that it is possible to retire as well.
After two consecutive days of pressing the scene, the people in the crew realized a fact, Forrest Gump is the Cannes actor, Forrest Gump has the best acting skills, and Forrest Gump is the biggest name in this play.
When a rare yellow skin appears in Hollywood, people's first reaction to him is to scrutinize rather than acknowledge, even when he wins an award.
This scene will not only happen on this set, but will also exist on other sets for a long time.
The only way can only be Forrest Gump to prove himself with more awards and a bigger box office.
In Hollywood, this is all a lesson from the past.
The previous most successful kung fu superstar Cheng Long's "Rush Hour" series also achieved a very good box office in Hollywood, but a "Around the World in 80 Days" box office plummeted, and his coffee position immediately fell.
Hollywood is very realistic, and the capital market is also very realistic, and for yellow skin, a wrong step may lose its glory.
But in the same way, when the limelight is right, capital will also educate those who stand in the way of what reality is.
After a conversation with Forrest Gump, Foglman thought that the filming would go smoothly later, but the next day, Ryan performed poorly again, and he didn't pass several in a row.
Foggelman had no choice but to shoot the plots of other characters first, and then find Forrest Gump again after the scene ended that day to communicate about the scene.
The good-natured Gan Jing naturally agreed, but after bidding farewell to the director, he himself felt a little inexplicable, today he honestly acted according to the plot of the script, and did not dig into the inner world of the characters by himself.
At the end of another conversation, Foggelman received a call from Warner producer Dennis before he could rejoice or even have the night to live.
If the shooting does not go well, the producer has the right and obligation to intervene, let alone a big production with the back of Warner.
Foggelman was a little embarrassed to deal with the faint warning from Dennis, and didn't sleep well all night, when he came to the set with two big dark circles under his eyes and was about to forward the nameless fire in his heart to Ryan, he was suddenly stunned.
The Canadian actor is also two deep dark circles under his eyes and listless.
Foggelman had an understanding in his heart, and I am afraid that this guy also received a warning from the producer.
The two men with dark circles looked at each other, and they were concerned.
……
Just when Gan Jing was finally able to film smoothly after some small twists and turns, the domestic summer vacation had arrived.
Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiao starred in "People in Embarrassment" chose to be released on June 4, which is a film with the theme of Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival schedule was supposed to be more suitable for its orientation, but the summer schedule was longer and the main force of movie-watching was stronger, so the producers and distributors unanimously put it in June.
Of course, as a small-budget film with an investment of only 7 million, everyone's prediction of the box office is not too high, and the filmmaker is just optimistic that it would be good to have 15 million.
At the same time, they contacted Gan Jing, who was filming in the United States, and asked him for authorization - they could use Cannes actor Forrest Gump as a gimmick when promoting.
Is Forrest Gump an actor?
Be.
Has Forrest Gump joined?
Joined.
Thanks to the wide recognition of the Cannes Film Festival in China, Gan Jing's fans have had an explosive growth, the most obvious of which is that the number of fans of his bib has surpassed Yao Chen and become the first in the number of fans of Sina's bib.
This kind of publicity will not be used as the main publicity, but it is really a personal favor, and after the cameo, the other party will use his own name.
On June 4th, after some publicity, but because of the tight budget, it can only be regarded as a small marketing campaign, "People in Embarrassment" was released.
Facts have proved that using Gan Jing as a propaganda point still has some effect.
At the very least, independent film critic Tang Fei chose to buy tickets to watch the movie because of this.
She first paid attention to Gan Jing because of the Hollywood blockbuster "2012", as an industry insider who relies on movies to eat, she was curious about being able to star in such a commercial film, and also wrote a film review article about "2012".
Such curiosity prompted her to watch Gan Jing's other films, "Mei Lanfang", "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" and even the very short cameo in "The Hangover", which Tang Fei did not let go.
Sitting in the theater, Tang Fei first looked around at the crowd who came to watch the movie, and found that the number was not too much, and he couldn't help but be a little worried that according to the current momentum, the box office situation of this film may not be too good.
At the beginning of the screening, Tang Fei let himself put aside other thoughts and prepared to watch this film with Cannes actor Forrest Gump joining.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" The film ran for nearly ten minutes, and Tang Fei, who came over to Gan Jing, was a little depressed, and he didn't find Gan Jing's footage at all.
But after another twenty minutes, as the laughter in the theater began to gradually increase, Tang Fei couldn't help but forget about that bit of depression.
Hey, this film seems to be quite interesting.
When the lights in the screening hall came on, Tang Fei saw some reluctant audiences, and he felt a little unsatisfied.
In the 88-minute film, Gan Jing appeared for two minutes...... This is the joining of the actor...... Tang Fei stood up and couldn't laugh or cry, did the filmmaker really dare to promote it like this?
It's true...... Make a face!
But fortunately, the quality of the film is good, and it can be said that it is worth the ticket price.
Tang Fei thought about it, took out her mobile phone and wrote down a few inspirations when watching the movie, and when she returned home after dinner, she couldn't help but hesitate when she sat in front of her notebook and was about to write a movie review, should she use such a title?
But when I think about it, everyone dares to use the propaganda of the actor to join, and in the Internet era, he should also have a title party, so be it.
——Forrest Gump production, it must be a high-quality product!
Tang Fei used this title in a film review in which Gan Jing only made a two-minute cameo...... The content of the article did not comment on Gan Jing much, it was purely a gimmick...... is like the producer and distributor of "People in Embarrassment".
Although the publicity is not large, a good film can rely on word-of-mouth to save the box office.
Audiences who have watched the movie, not only Tang Fei felt that it was worth the ticket price, she was not the only one who recommended this movie to others, and many viewers spontaneously gave amway the laughing "People in Embarrassment".
Just when the distributor was a little worried about the box office on the first day, the word-of-mouth publicity had an immediate effect.
On the second day of the premiere, the box office slowly climbed.
On the third day of the premiere, there was a significant increase in the box office.
In the first week of its premiere, "People in Embarrassment" won 8 million box office!
For this week alone, it has been determined that there will be no losses and no street hits!
After thanking the director and actors, he thought of the actor Gan Jing, who was used for promotion, and did not hesitate to find his number and dial it.
