Chapter 31: Hyping the 'Five Lucky Stars'
Regarding Zou Wenhuai's thoughts, Wu Cheng was very clear in his heart. He definitely wants to promote the film a week or two after it is released. In this way, they take advantage of it.
If the film does well at the box office, they can even extend the release time.
Speaking of which, he also wants to thank Zou Wenhuai for being angry in the end and saying that angry sentence, otherwise, they really want to make ghosts, and when the film is not promoted, it will be too late when he finds out. And now, it's still too late!
"Alain, it's me, your little uncle. I'm going to do an interview...... I didn't do it before, and that's because the timing was not right. Now? I can't wait any longer. In addition, send someone to Ridao and do an interview with Miss Deng Lijun, interview wรจn, and I'll tell you again when I get back ......"
When he got home, Wu Cheng finally thought of how to hype up "Five Lucky Stars", originally he didn't want to expose himself, but for the box office of "Five Lucky Stars", he had to do it!
In fact, in later generations, hype is everywhere, the most typical is the scandal hype, the scolding war hype. The scandal hype is very simple, just let the hero and heroine of the film spread a scandal.
It is also very convenient to hype up the scolding war, and it is okay for two celebrities to say to each other in the media that they look down on each other or something like that. Needless to say, just give a disdainful look, and the media will naturally help you interpret it, these people are all people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Of course, today's media is not as bottomless as later generations.
scandal, Wu Cheng will not let Zhao Yazhi spread scandals with other men. As for the scolding war, Wu Cheng didn't think of using guรฒ to publicize it.
Yes, after thinking about it, only the most normal method remains. However, if normal means want to cause a sensation, it is naturally unlikely.
And now, what the media wants to know most is probably the news of Deng Lijun, the most famous person in Asia. Wu Cheng called to tell Deng Lijun that Deng Lijun would definitely give this face. In addition to Deng Lijun, Wu Cheng felt that if it was rumored that his manuscript fee was nearly 1,000 words, it would be estimated that he would be a topic of conversation in Xiangjiang.
Plus, if TVB is willing to give itself an advertisement...... Wu Cheng felt that this was impossible, and it was impossible for wireless to help the enemy deal with him, so he could only hit the idea to the TV of Wiless's opponent Li. However, if you want Li's TV station to advertise yourself, it is estimated that the price you will have to pay will not be small.
In addition, you can also release the news that Jiahe spent 9 million to buy the overseas distribution rights of "Five Lucky Stars...... In this way, it is not difficult to stir up "Five Lucky Stars".
Therefore, Wu Cheng directly called his little niece and asked the Urban Entertainment News to help.
The next day, Wu Cheng went to the City Entertainment Newspaper to see his little niece Wu Shulan.
Wu Cheng pointed out, and after Wu Shulan sorted out his thoughts, he got up and asked his secretary to call the company's best reporters over, and at the same time notify all the company's executives to hold a meeting in ten minutes.
"Mr. Wu, it's good if you call me Xiaolin. Manager Ye arranged for me to interview you. โ
It was a girl who came in, looking about twenty years old, dressed intellectually, with a medium appearance, but she looked very capable and charming.
For Wu Cheng, Lin Xiaoxin knows, and at the same time is quite envious and curious, envy because Wu Chengxian's manuscript fee is ridiculously high, and curious because Wu Cheng's age looks very small.
"Mr. Wu, are you interviewing here?"
Wu Cheng nodded and said, "You can start." โ
Lin Xiaoxin smiled and said, "That's good!" she said, took out a pen and paper, and asked, "Can I ask Mr. Wu's specific age?"
Wu Cheng said with a smile: "No problem, I am fifteen years old this year, I will be sixteen after the New Year, my birthday is in the first month, and it is the third year ......of the new year, the days are very big!
"Mind if I ask about your family? I'm curious, what kind of environment can you cultivate such a good writer at your age?"
Wu Cheng paused and sighed: "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, I am from the mainland, and I swam from the mainland......"
"Well, do you mind if we report on it?"
"I don't mind, I don't think I'm from the mainland, so I'm inferior. Wu Cheng smiled confidently, and then continued: "I have been learning Chinese studies with my grandfather since I was a child, and the enlightenment reading materials are things like 'Hundred Family Names' and 'Three Character Classics', which are different from the people here. Not long after I was born, my mother died of illness, and my father was a martial artist who liked to communicate with martial artists from all over the world, so to speak, I almost grew up next to my grandfather, and my grandfather's influence on me was quite great. โ
"Then you came from the mainland at such a young age, aren't they worried?"
Wu Cheng sighed and said, "They are all gone!"
"Sorry, I don't know!"
"It's okay, it's all over, I'm used to it. Wu Cheng smiled reluctantly.
Lin Xiaoxin didn't ask Wu Cheng about his family anymore, but instead asked about the origin of his creation. "How did Mr. Wu come up with the idea of writing such a novel? You know, this 'Hui Ming' is not a martial arts novel, in this period of rampant martial arts, aren't you afraid of failure?"
"It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible to not try!" Wu Cheng smiled: "It's not that I haven't thought about writing martial arts, but in the end I decided to write this book, and the martial arts elements in it are actually not nothing, but there are very few." In fact, I was ready for a long time, and if I failed, I would honestly go back and write martial arts. Thankfully, it's been a success so far!"
Lin Xiaoxin nodded, feeling that the young man in front of him was very charming when he smiled, and that kind of confident and calm demeanor could give people a very reassuring feeling.
"As far as I know, the Urban Entertainment Newspaper was still a dwarf in the newspaper industry, why don't you go to those big newspapers and find our tabloid?" Lin Xiaoxin asked again.
Wu Cheng said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a kind of fate!" If it weren't for the name Wu Shulan, Wu Cheng would not have put the novel in the Urban Entertainment Newspaper lightly.
"In fact, you should also know my relationship with Miss Zhao Yazhi, she took my manuscript to find Ming Pao, but I met you Mr. Wu on the way, but the two became friends...... Of course, in the end, it was decided that the novel would be serialized in the Urban Entertainment Newspaper because of the higher remuneration given here, and I needed a sum of money not long after I came to Xiangjiang at that time......"
"I heard that your manuscript fee has increased with the increase in newspaper sales, what is the specific situation, can you tell me?" Lin Xiaoxin asked again.
Wu Cheng nodded and said: "This is true, it was originally just an ordinary newcomer's remuneration, but I still have confidence in my novel, so I have this mention, I didn't expect you Mr. Wu to be a cheerful person, and agreed without saying a word." โ
"In other words, the increase in sales of the Urban Entertainment Newspaper is because of the 'Huiming'?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "It's not, at the beginning, I was confident in my novels, but it didn't bring much sales to the newspaper, I have to admit this, at that time, I was a little overconfident." However, the increase in newspaper sales does have something to do with me, because the revision of the Urban Entertainment Newspaper was proposed and planned by me, which can be regarded as a little selfishness on my part! I hope that other writers and seniors in the press industry will not blame me for breaking the rules. โ
"I heard that the supplement of the City Entertainment Newspaper, Entertainment Fashion Semi-Monthly, is also your masterpiece?"
"Well, this is too, after all, Sister Zhi helped me a lot, and I had to find a way to make her famous, so you also saw the result, this effect is still good. โ
"You not only made the first beauty in Xiangjiang famous overnight, but also made that little girl named Zhong Chuhong famous overnight. In addition, I heard that I also know Miss Deng Lijun, the most popular superstar in Asia today, and even wrote songs for her, what is going on?"
"Writing a song for Sister Ajun, there is indeed such a thing, but this thing is also a coincidence, what is going on, I won't say much here. โ
Lin Xiaoxin smiled regretfully and said, "Okay! I heard that you now have a film company called 'Donglong International', and you also cooperate with Mr. Hung Jinbao and them to make films, and even Miss Deng Lijun has a cameo in it, is there such a thing? How did you come up with the idea of making a movie? Aren't you afraid that the movie will lose money if you are not careful?"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "I haven't thought about the problem of losing money in movies, because I believe in the script I wrote, as well as the strength of Brother Sanmao." As for making films, I'm probably most interested in it, even more so than writing novels. And if I really lose, I don't have to worry about it, because I'm still young, and the worst outcome is that I continue to come back and write novels. โ
"As for Sister Jun's cameo, it was a coincidence...... In the film, she played a tune with me, playing with four hands, which is very interesting......"
โฆโฆ
On the second day's Entertainment Metropolis Daily, the first panel was a still of Wu Cheng and Deng Lijun playing with four hands, the two looked at each other and smiled, with a tacit look, I don't know how many men I envy.
It was also from this moment that the publicity work of "Five Lucky Stars" officially started.
The company now has no money, and it can't afford to rent office space, and there is naturally no way to recruit talents.
However, they have not slowed down the formation of the company, although there is no office space, but the recruitment of talents has not stopped.
And the first talent recruited by Wu Cheng was actually Cen Jianxun.
Originally, he was the editor-in-chief of the magazine, but he came to work for Wu Cheng to do film propaganda work. For this reason, not only did he not feel that the big talent was useless, but he was willing to do it.
