The scene of the "Crazy Stone" publicity and promotion meeting.

Under the arrangement of the Hailian Distribution Department, Xiao Xing brought some of the main creators of "Crazy Stone" to meet with the local media and some audiences. Promote the film and answer questions from reporters and audiences.

Director Xi Xiaoxing, photographer Zhang Xiaoquan, starring Guo Tao, Gou Yunhao, Wang Xun, Luo Xue, Lian Jin and others, there are no big names.

Guo Tao, who has the biggest wrist, is famous not for his appearance in many film and television dramas, but for the drama "Rhino in Love", which is quite famous in the drama industry.

However, the crew has no shortage of topics.

The combination of "Ah Zheng + Little Fish", Liu Dehua's cameo, the theme song "Tired and Tired", the newcomer who reuses cute film and television, the way out of domestic small-budget films, and interesting stories during filming can all arouse the interest of reporters and audiences.

Different from the previous publicity in other first-tier cities, at today's promotion meeting, some reporters threw out new and extremely sharp topics.

In the past two days, many well-known film critics have pointed out in the media that the production cost of the movie "Crazy Stone" is only 3 million, and the publicity cost is as high as 5 million. Is it true?"

More than 20 well-known film critics spoke out one after another, a large number of water armies forwarded it everywhere, and the cute people were silent, causing the people who eat melons to not know the truth, which caused heated discussions and scolding on the Internet.

According to the current momentum, I am afraid that it will not be long before a one-sided condemnation will form.

Yu Xiaoxing's expression was solemn and he nodded vigorously: "The initial investment budget for this film is indeed three million, all of which are used for film shooting and production. The investment in the later publicity and distribution stage was not considered at that time. ”

His answer, which is equivalent to admitting the statement on the Internet, caused an uproar at the scene.

The media reporters present were in high spirits.

Topics that are hyped up on the Internet often have high news value. And Xiao Xiaoxing's reply represents the first positive answer from Meng Ren Film and Television, which should not be missed!

"I want to ask, is the cost of the publicity and distribution stage the five million rumored on the Internet?"

"It's five million. When we advertised it in Yamashiro before, we had already made it public. ”

"So, the investment in Crazy Stone is not only three million, as you advertised, but eight million?"

Xiao Xiaoxing's face was ugly, and he hesitated for a while before replying, "It can be understood in this way." ”

The reporter who asked the question was excited, and his words became sharper: "Then can I understand that your company has invested 8 million yuan in nominal filming films, but in fact, the funds actually used for film production are only 3 million, not even half?"

Suffer!

Guo Tao is an old driver, and he has long heard that the number of questions asked by this reporter is wrong, and Xi Xiaoxing is obviously inexperienced, and according to the other party's questions, he was introduced into the trap step by step.

The last topic is even more heart-wrenching, Xiao Xiaoxing's answer is a little careless, which will not only ruin all the publicity work of the crew some time ago, but also make the film fall into a huge passivity!

The person in charge of the Hailian Distribution Department who was present also realized the seriousness of the situation, called his staff, and asked in a very fast voice: "Go and find out which media he is, have we invited him?"

Both of them wanted to stop Xiao Xing from answering, but Xiao Xing behaved like a fledgling chick and spoke without noticing.

"You're right. ”

The uproar at the scene was even worse.

Guo Tao on the stage almost didn't resist the urge to hide his face, and the person in charge of the Hailian Distribution Department was offstage, so he didn't have so many scruples, and slapped his head directly: It's over.

More reporters wanted to ask questions, and at this time Xiao Xing broke out.

He walked to the front of the stage with the microphone and said angrily: "Do you think we are willing to spend five million on publicity and distribution? This money is enough for us to make another movie, but can we do it without spending this money?"

"'I Believe' is the first film shot by our company, the production cost is 2 million, do you know how much the publicity cost is? 1 million! Last time, I was lucky and got the support of many stars, and I received 40 million box office. What about this time?"

"How much does "Star Wars 2" cost to publicize? How much does "Spider-Man" cost? And those blockbusters that invest tens of millions of dollars, which one has less than 10 million dollars? If we don't increase publicity, how many viewers will know about "Crazy Stone" when it is released in the future!"

Unmoved, the reporter who asked the question continued to ask: "Why are you stingy with spending five million dollars in film production when you can invest five million in publicity and distribution?"

"No, you don't. Because the production budget of 3 million is enough to ensure the quality of our film, it will be worthy of the ticket price paid by the audience after it is released in the future!"

Seeing that Xi Xiaoxing was out of shape, the reporter added fuel to the fire: "The mass of three million? According to what you said, those movies with an investment of tens of millions are all high-quality works, but why are some movies with a poor box office reputation and dissatisfaction with the audience?"

The Hailian distribution department is as big as a fight.

The identity of this person has been clarified.

A well-known freelance writer, pen name Leng Feng, entertainment news direction, and the editor-in-chief of many large domestic media and entertainment sectors. The stories he writes are often featured in the entertainment pages of major media outlets.

"Crazy Stone" Jinling publicity and promotion meeting, he was not invited, I don't know how to sneak in.

The purpose of the cold front is also obvious.

Either they deliberately targeted "Stone" with people's money, or they wanted to use the recent hot topics on the Internet to step on "Stone" to make a name for themselves.

"Do you want to arrange for the security guards to kick him out?" the staff of the Hailian Distribution Department asked the leader in a low voice.

"Aren't you messy enough?" the leader glared at him, "Get ready, today's promotion meeting will end early." ”

This person is clearly here to smash the field!

So what?

For the media reporters present, the more fierce the trouble, the more predictable, and the higher the news value.

If you drive Leng Feng out now...... Hehe!

What to do?

Let's report back first.

The person in charge of the Hailian distribution department was about to contact the company to find a way to solve the matter, but Xiao Xiaoxing was furious.

"Bastard, do you understand movies!"

His scolding instantly brought the situation to an irreconcilable point.

Leng Feng was secretly proud with his arms in his arms, and the miniature recorder in his hand was always on.

"The quality of the crew of "Crazy Stone" is low, and the director broke out to reporters at the promotion meeting. ”

"The quality of practitioners in the domestic film industry is worrying, and the money scam is exposed after it is exposed. ”

Which of these two titles is better?

Other media reporters are not as bad as him, but they are also excited about the upcoming tear-up.

In the entertainment industry, tearing is always one of the best hype topics, and it is also one of the topics that can attract the attention of readers!

Xiao Xing didn't disappoint them, and yelled again with an angry face: "Bastard, do you know the movie!" (To be continued.) )
