Chapter 82: The movie begins to be promoted
"He? Can he? Isn't it just the KTV level? I'm a professional. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info," Huang Bo said.
"How do you know if you don't try, he's a creator, and you'll hear how he sings later." Said the producer.
"KTV level? Let me hear what it means to be professional. "Since this is the case, Zhou Chunwang is also interested, so let's give it a try. So he went into the studio, put on his headphones, and made an "ok" gesture to the producer, and then the producer started playing the music and tuning it.
The demo has been listened to countless times lately, and he has hummed along many times himself, and now he is actually singing to the lyrics.
You don't understand until love is gone
To cherish everyone around you
Wonderful scenery
It's just that she's long gone
・・・・・・
Zhou Chunwang sang affectionately in it, and Huang Bo's face changed a little at first, because he did sing a little better than himself, and his singing style was also very mature, which was completely different from the state he had just explored - he was worried that this song would be "robbed" by Zhou Chunwang. As a result, the more I listened to it, the happier I became, after all, Zhou Chunwang had no professional training, and it was really only at the KTV level at most.
Zhou Chunwang came out of the recording studio after singing, and as soon as he came out, he saw Huang Bo smiling at him, Huang Bo said, "How is it?" It's not that simple, right? You still want me to come as a professional. ”
"You're wrong." The producer shook his head, "He sang well just now, and the overall level is a little better than yours, because his timbre is better than yours, just because he shouldn't have professional training, so the overall grasp is not good, but if I train here for a few days, it is not difficult to sing this song well." ”
Zhou Chunwang laughed when he heard it, but Huang Bo panicked: "No, he is just a creator, this song is mine, I have to sing it." I've listened to it just now, I know how to master it, I'll sing it again. After speaking, he hurriedly entered the recording studio, leaving Zhou Chunwang and the producer laughing there.
This year is the first time that Zhou Chunwang has not been at home for the New Year, and he has stayed in the capital to work. Huang Bo's single also edited some movie clips, and asked Huang Bo to wear a little more handsome after the year, and helped him shoot some videos, which were interspersed in the movie clips as the MV of the single.
At the end of this year, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was released, creating a global box office myth of domestic films, and the mainland box office reached 250 million yuan, marking the beginning of Chinese films to enter the era of 100 million yuan at the box office.
This also made the people in the same industry cheer, feeling that the spring of Chinese films was coming, but what happened next made people have no intention of paying attention to what movie box office.
Because SARS is getting more and more serious, new reports come out every day, hundreds of people are quarantined, and even many doctors and patients are infected, and there is no cure yet. Everyone is panicking, who will care about the box office of any movie.
Zhou Chunwang stayed at his residence with Lin Guoyuan with peace of mind, rarely went out, and wrote some novels when he had nothing to do, and it was almost time to publish a new book.
Finally, at the end of June, good news came one after another, SARS was finally suppressed, and the earth could see the light again.
At this time, Huang Bo's single also began to be promoted on radio, television and the Internet, and the catchy tune made many people like this song, so some people began to ask what the name of the song was, and then learned about the others by the way, oh, the opening and ending of the MV are written, singer Huang Bo, the song name "You Love Her So Much", and the ending song of the movie "Sleepless Night in the Supermarket".
"You love her so much
Why not leave her behind
Why don't you speak from your heart
You love her dearly
Everybody knows that."
A few climactic lyrics sang the hearts of many people, and the song became a little popular for a while.
However, the singer's appearance was also complained about a few words, but Huang Bo didn't care, he was destined to be complained about his appearance often in this life, but real men don't judge success or failure by their looks. In fact, he couldn't be happier, he had been a singer for so many years, this was the first time he was so popular. Many of his friends who used to play music called him and said that he sang well. So Huang Bo said another line that belonged to him in "Sleepless Night in the Supermarket": "Dude, I'm going to be hot." He also said that he had signed a contract with a film and television company, and another movie would be released in a while, so remember to support it a lot.
Huang Bo's single was launched in June, and then slowly fermented, and began to become popular in July and August. And August is the time when the movie is most promoted, because the date of "Sleepless Night in the Supermarket" is September 10.
The impact of SARS is slowly fading, and slowly there are more movies in cinemas, but there are only four or five movies in August, and it is about the same in September, and the only opponent may be "Infernal Affairs" on September 5, but this movie was released in Xiangjiang as early as the previous year, and it will be released in the mainland after a year, and not many people will definitely watch it - because everyone who wants to watch it has watched pirated copies. Then there is the movie "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", which is known as a production fee of 100 million yuan and starring Jiang Wen and Zhao Wei, but it will not be released until September 23, which is 13 days different from the release time of "Sleepless Night in the Supermarket", and the impact is not great, and the movie lost a lot of money in the end, and the mainland box office is estimated to be only more than 40 million.
But this is an advantage and a disadvantage, because many people have not yet eased up, and few movies can break 100 million in a short period of time, so it can be said that "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was also affected by SARS.
But "Sleepless Night in the Supermarket" still has to be released, it has been almost 1 year, and Zhou Chunwang has no extravagant hopes of breaking 100 million, it is estimated that anyone with a normal brain has never thought about this problem, if there is a box office of 7 or 8 million, this movie will already make money.
But no one can say for sure before the release, so I've been working hard to promote it.
The shorter the time before the movie is released, the busier everyone will be, Zhou Chunwang has to meet many people a day, and he has to see one person almost every half an hour. Most of them are peers, some are cinemas, and some are publicity channels. Xu Yu and the others were not idle, they all appeared in some entertainment programs under the arrangement of China Film, or went to the radio station to do publicity, and the news was also released in the newspaper. It's just that the small cost of publicity is not much, otherwise the effect can be better. The trailer Zhou Chunwang also cut 3 and announced it in stages.
In fact, this movie is also a very gimmick, because the director turned out to be a student under the age of 21 in Beiying, but the starring roles are the well-known "Zhu Bajie" Xu Earn and Li Xiaolu, which is enough to attract the attention of some people. I am curious about what kind of film this is, and why two actors and actresses who have been famous for a long time are allowed to participate in the work of a director who is not famous.
This is also a key point of China Film's publicity, because it is very topical, so they want to spend money to let some newspapers or weekly magazines help send advertorials about Zhou Chunwang, but some newspapers refused, thinking that a small-budget movie has nothing to report. But the Entertainment Newspaper readily agreed, why? Because Zhou Chunwang is "his own person", he is a native of Guangdong, and "Entertainment Newspapers" also belongs to this side of Guangdong, and a few years ago, Yangcheng Daily in Guangdong also interviewed Zhou Chunwang.
