Chapter 56 Boot 1
The development of things was completely unexpected by Zhu Ziqing. He couldn't have imagined that he only recruited two actors, and he would save such a large amount of publicity costs.
Before the show was promoted, it had already made headlines on the front pages of many media. This is a treatment that no amount of money can buy.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Chen Guolile's mouth couldn't close. Originally, I was worried that the two important characters were all nobodies, which would affect the ratings. How do you know that people's dramas are popular before they are broadcast. Now they are taking the light of others.
The little dissatisfaction with them in my heart disappeared in an instant.
"Director Chen, how about it? Zhu Ziqing said deliberately on the side.
Mr. Zhu's eyes are like torches, although these two people are not from a good background and are not highly educated, they really have a hand in acting. I don't know how you found them. Especially that Shi Dazhuang, he doesn't need makeup or performance at all, and he is a lot of people who are alive and well when he goes to that station. ”
"Don't be angry now. ”
"Oh, look at what you're saying. How dare I be angry with you? Chen Guoli pretended to be panicked and said.
"Haha...... Director Chen is satisfied. You're the soul of our crew, if you're in a bad mood. Everyone else is just tossing around. Zhu Ziqing said with a laugh.
"Mr. Zhu has won the award, you are the helmsman of our crew. We're all at your command. Chen Guoli said modestly.
"Let's not flatter each other, let others see it and think what's wrong with the two of us. The two touted each other, which made Zhu Ziqing laugh, and quickly changed the topic:
"What I don't understand is, why did this matter get so hot, and the story is too detailed, right?"
"Huh...... At first, it was indeed spontaneous media coverage. Later, someone wanted to use this hype to be a promoter behind the scenes. "Chen Guoli is also a good friend of these things.
"Who wants to hype it up, and what is the purpose?" asked Zhu Ziqing curiously.
"The biggest possibility is the crew that Du Qiuming is in. I inquired. His relationship with the crew was very stiff. Shi Qingyun was implicated because of this. Now the filming is over. The crew hyped up their own film and avenged it with another stone. Chen Guoli explained.
As soon as he said it, Zhu Ziqing immediately understood. There's more to publicity than just spending money on ad space. You have to create some topics.
What kind of male and female protagonists are really fake, what kind of conflict between who and whom, and so on. As long as it can attract people's attention, there is no means that cannot be used.
In the past, it was a false propaganda, and it needs to be clarified afterwards. Now there is a ready-made topic put there. It would be strange if that crew didn't take advantage of it.
As for whether the negative news will have a bad impact on the film, it is completely overthought. There has never been a precedent for such news to affect viewership.
"Didn't you make a move? Zhu Ziqing said with a sinister smile.
"I'm an upright person, how could I do this. Chen Guoli denied Zhu Ziqing's words with a righteous face. But he immediately lowered his voice and said: "I told Mr. Wang about this, and I don't know what he did." ”
"Oh! I see. Zhu Ziqing said meaningfully.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this yet. Mr. Tang said that he would hold a start-up press conference for us, and invited a lot of media to come over. You prepare in advance. Chen Guoli's face turned red, and he hurriedly ran away after saying a word.
Zhu Ziqing paused for a moment and immediately reacted. In the past, because they were not optimistic about this film, Chenghai Entertainment and Bayi Productions did not carry out publicity. Naturally, there will be no launch conference.
In fact, even if it is held, it is useless. There is no star in the entire crew who can be called. Even if the press conference is held, there will not be a few media outlets. Forced convening not only does not serve its due purpose. Instead, it invites jokes.
Naturally, the situation is different now. The two actors he recruited by mistake turned out to be a lucky general. didn't let the company spend a penny to hype up "Soldier Assault". And it's the kind that's a big hit.
No matter where everyone's main focus is, in short, "Soldier Assault" took advantage of this shareholder popularity. Now that the situation has changed, the company has naturally adjusted its strategy in a timely manner. It makes sense to hold a press conference.
All the preparations for Soldier Assault are ready, and the opening ceremony can be held at any time. Chenghai Entertainment did not have an appetite either, and the date was quickly determined.
"Are you nervous?" Wang Zhibo turned sideways and asked Zhu Ziqing beside him.
"To be honest, I was a little nervous. I came from a small place, and I haven't seen much of the world. It's the first time I've experienced such a battle. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.
"Haha...... Mr. Zhu is really good at laughing. Wang Zhibo snorted and said: "Reporters are actually very easy to deal with, just skip the questions that are difficult to answer." This is our home turf. They can't do anything about you. ”
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your advice. Zhu Ziqing nodded. Thank you.
"Mr. Wang is wrong. Have you forgotten where Mr. Zhu came from? He often interacts with reporters. And he is one of the few people who can restrain reporters. Chen Guoli on the side interjected with a smile.
"Smack. Hearing this, Wang Zhibo slapped his head. said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhu will make me happy." ”
"It's different, it's different. At that time, I didn't ask for anything from them, but they asked for an interview with me. I have the initiative. Now we have to ask for them, and others have the initiative. Naturally, the previous response was no longer useful. Zhu Ziqing said sincerely.
"It doesn't make a difference, just follow the old way. The focus of this press conference is not surprisingly you, Shi Dazhuang, and Shi Qingyun. You, I'm not worried. Just worry about those two, you see excited. Chen Guoli pointed to the two brothers and said.
Turn your head. I found that these two were indeed a bit overexcited. Although Shi Qingyun pretended to be calm on the outside, his constantly shaking legs revealed his true situation. Shi Dazhuang, who was honest in appearance, also grinned widely, and couldn't get along.
However, Zhu Ziqing was not worried that the two of them would say something that should not be said. Everyone knew that the two of them were unreliable, and they didn't expect them to perform well at all.
The crew gave each of them a miniature headset, and someone would direct them through the headset on what to do.
Soon. The media was almost there. It's time for the press conference. Chen Guoli picked up the microphone and got up to speak. Today he also has an identity, host.
"Welcome to all media friends. Our "Soldier Assault" crew ......"
It is not the first time that Chen Guoli has served as a director, and I don't know how many times he has participated in the launch conference. It's easy to say.
The launch conference is not a government meeting. The media here won't listen to you at length. So Chen Guoli's words were very brief, just a brief introduction to the situation of a crew.
Even Wang Zhibo didn't have the opportunity to speak, and he came here today purely to show the company's attention. There is no other effect.
"I know that the media friends have a lot of questions to ask, and the next step is the Q&A session. I invite you to speak in an orderly manner. ”
As soon as Chen Guoli finished speaking, dozens of arms were raised in an instant. The staff member gave the microphone to one of the people as instructed.
"I'm a reporter for Entertainment Shinkansen, and I have a question for Mr. Zhu Ziqing. I heard that you served as the editor-in-chief of the TV series "Soldier Assault". I don't know if you are faithful to the original. Or do you need to revise the plot for the sake of filming?"
Zhu Ziqing knew that this should be a reporter arranged by Chenghai Entertainment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked such a serious question. At that moment, he said with a smile:
"Fiction and TV series are two completely different forms of expression. The novel and the script will inevitably be different, but we will do our best to be faithful to the original. Chenghai Entertainment is a leading company in the entertainment industry and has extensive experience in adapting scripts. It is not difficult to do this. ”
The reporter seemed very satisfied with his answer, and simply handed over the microphone.
The reporter who took over the microphone was much sharper, and asked as soon as he came up: "Mr. Zhu, they all said that you are looking for two extras to play important roles, and you want to use a certain actor to hype." I don't know what you say about that?"
Before answering this question. Let me start with a announcement. Shi Dazhuang will play the protagonist of "Soldier Assault" Xu Sanduo, and Shi Qingyun will play the role of the second male talent. Zhu Ziqing said solemnly.
As soon as Zhu Ziqing's words were finished, the audience became lively with a 'buzz'. No one could believe that this news was true, and they all thought that they had heard it wrong. Let the two group actors play the male number one and the male number two, which is unprecedented in the entertainment industry.
Zhu Ziqing was very satisfied with the repercussions caused by his words. However, he did not give the reporters time to react, but went on to say:
"Now I am answering the question that the journalist just asked. I'm not going to joke about my work. will not pin their hopes on hype, everything still depends on strength. ”
The reporter reluctantly handed over the microphone. Although he still has a stomach full of questions to ask. But that's the rule. He is also not good at taking the lead in sabotage. I hope others can ask the questions they want to hear.
"Mr. Shi Qingyun, now there are rumors everywhere that you robbed the actor Du Qiuming's play. Is this true?"
The show is finally about to begin. The eyes of everyone present instantly focused on the two brothers, Shi Qingyun and Shi Dazhuang.
Although Shi Qingyun is a little clever, this is the first time he has come into contact with such a battle. What's more, in the past, he was just a group performance that no one paid attention to, but now he has become the focus. For a while, I was a little uncomfortable. But fortunately, the answer came from the headphones in time.
"This is simply nonsense. I didn't have any conflict with Mr. Du at all, on the contrary, he also instructed me on my acting skills. I am very grateful to him. It's just that I don't know who I offended, and I actually spread such a rumor. ”
Who thinks that his answer is to calm things down? That's too simple. The more Shi Qingyun answered like this, the more dissatisfied the media became. The more you will discover the truth of the matter yourself. When the time comes, things will only get hotter.
And saying this will also bring benefits to Shi Qingyun himself, so as to repay his grievances directly. It can not only win the favor of the general audience, but also avoid some resentment from Du Qiuming's fans.
As for Du Qiuming himself, he could only pinch his nose and admit it. Do you dare to stand up and deny it?
"Mr. Shi Qingyun. A lot of people say that you deliberately use this thing to hype. And you did get into everyone's attention because of this. I don't know how you explain that?" )
