Chapter 70: Fan Salon
After getting the news, Zhou Yi naturally went happily, just to join in the fun.
There is excitement, how can you not make it! He's still a young man!
Originally, he wanted to take his sister to eat and drink for nothing, but Tang Yan had to study at school, and he also had to study the script, so of course he didn't want to waste time. Preparing for filming is naturally more important than going out to play. She really wants to make this TV series well!
In this way, Zhou Yi can only go by himself.
Gao Song and Zheng Zilong would drive to pick him up from school, and everyone carpooled together.
Zhou Yi can wait at the school gate.
In fact, Gao Song and they are so attentive to promoting the film, mainly because after the film is a big hit, they can also get a big red envelope, and the company will not let them, the second-tier stars, only get a low salary of hundreds of thousands, they will naturally try their best to publicize.
Whether it is Zhuo Qinglian or Manager Zheng, they have promised these things a long time ago, and this is the company's practice. Cheng Dakui is the same, according to his status, he can get the corresponding red envelope reward, and he will not only give him the price code of a martial artist.
Of course, this will only be the case if the film is a big hit.
They are the company's contracted artists, so they will naturally have preferential treatment.
Cheng Dakui is also a signed artist of the company now!
Like Wu Yuanshen and An Dehai, they don't have this kind of good thing, they can only get paid, after all, they are artists from other companies, Zhengdong just invites them to film, but there will be no preferential treatment, and they can't give red envelopes to artists from other companies. Isn't that a meat bun beating a dog?
If you give out red envelopes, people won't be loyal to you, that's useless.
Regardless of whether you send red envelopes or not, if you have a suitable role in the future and the price is right, can people still not shoot? What's more, there are many actors in the industry, who cares? The key is to see if you are a descendant of the company! That's the way it is.
Therefore, like this kind of additional publicity, Wu Yuanshen and An Dehai will definitely not come, unless they are on TV to promote themselves.
Zhou Yi understands this truth and will not force it.
When I came to the school gate and waited for a while, a white Toyota drove over, and Takamatsu was waving from the car.
Japanese cars are cheap and are loved by the working class.
It's not that Gao Song can't afford to buy a better car, no matter what, they are also second-tier stars, how can they not afford it? Now cars are cheap, and the first-line cars are about 100,000 Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to more than 600,000 yuan in the previous life.
Unless you buy the kind of top brands and top configurations, like those used by Zhuo Qinglian and Chu Qingyi, it won't be too expensive.
But if you can afford it, you can afford it, and they won't buy it in Takamatsu.
They are celebrities, and they don't endorse, who will help you promote your car brand for no reason?
When there is no endorsement, just buy a broken car and make do with it.
That's what Takamatsu thinks, and they can't drive a good car.
Some sports stars are like this, when they don't have endorsements, they just make do with driving bad cars, and they definitely don't buy them themselves.
Zhou Yi wanted to laugh very much, and it was hard to say anything.
He doesn't have a car either! I haven't bought it yet.
I don't want to spend my own money!
In fact, this is not stingy, the key is to say that I am embarrassed, I feel very shameless, so I just drive a bad car!
Zhou Yi got into the car with a smile and sat in the back seat with Cheng Dakui.
Gao Song drove, and Zheng Zilong sat in front with him.
Everyone said hello and got acquainted.
"Brother Takamatsu is very happy today! Why are you so happy? Zhou Yi asked with a smile.
Takamatsu laughed.
Zheng Zilong next to him explained: "He is going to endorse the brand, of course he is very happy." β
Everyone laughed.
"Congratulations!"
"It's all a small brand, and it hasn't been negotiated yet!" Takamatsu waved his hand repeatedly.
"Manager Zheng is still talking!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"Now that the film is still being released, Manager Zheng is very busy, mainly the assistant and the agent are talking, let's drag it first! Looking at the box office situation of the film, if the box office can be a big hit, the endorsement fee will increase. "Takamatsu is happy.
Zhou Yi is also very happy for everyone.
"Da Kui is just in time for a good time this time, and he can borrow the east wind. I heard that there is a brand of clothing that likes this kind of rough man's endorsement. "Gao Song said it very funny, but Cheng Dakui is indeed a rough man, this is the truth.
"Haha!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Cheng Dakui smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Let's see the situation then!" I haven't written a word yet! β
"And Zilong's endorsement fee is definitely going to rise. The promotion he did on TV was great! β
"Actually, I'm very satisfied with the status quo, and it's good that I can maintain it." Zheng Zilong was not in a hurry.
Everyone didn't mention Zhou Yi's endorsement much, after all, he was the boss and didn't care about the endorsement fee.
Who said Zhou Yi didn't care? Zhou Yi cares a lot! Give less money, resolutely don't do it!
While talking and laughing, Takamatsu started the car and headed to his destination.
Zhou Yi also asked everyone very funny: "Do we still have to prepare a promotional album, or a CD or something, and send it to fans at that time?" β
Takamatsu: They all laughed.
"What are you doing with those things? We're not here to send small ads. Takamatsu waved his hand again and again, "That's not shameful enough!" β
"It's good for us to go to dinner, mainly to meet the fans and reflect the people-friendly style." Zheng Zilong said with a smile.
Zhou Yi suddenly laughed: This is too easy. He thought he was going to go from table to table to hand out!
Talking and laughing all the way, everyone soon came to this fan chain cafeteria in Haidian District, parked the car in the parking space, got out of the car, and looked around to see the situation first. In fact, Takamatsu and the others had never been here before, so they were not familiar with the environment.
Outside the restaurant, there is a signboard of the world actor Lou Degua, obviously this is Lou Degua's industry, with his emperor superstar signboard, and the title of actor, he can definitely attract a large number of fans to dine and have fun here.
A trailer for a movie is also playing on the big screen for an external promotion.
Takamatsu took everyone over to have a look.
After reading it, Zhou Yi said: "This is the trailer of "Disciple of the Evil God" to be released next week! This is our main competitor for next week. β
Gao Song lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I really don't think this film is good, it's just that the investment is large, there are many special effects, and the play is too far worse than ours." Although Zhao Yanqin is a first-line superstar, it looks like that. I used to think his films were good, but now it's not good. In terms of popularity alone, there is still a big gap between him and a top star like Lou Degua, and there is no such feeling that it is difficult to compete. β
Next to him, Zheng Zilong and Cheng Dakui nodded again and again, agreeing. Some things are not easy to say openly, they can only snicker secretly. After all, this is someone's territory, and there must be a lot of fans here, so everyone should pay a little attention when they speak.
Zhou Yi smiled: "We'll wait to see how it happens next week." β
"This is the restaurant under the Huanyu actor Lou Degua, of course, we want to promote the film of Huanyu." Zheng Zilong added.
"But Lou Degua didn't appear in this film, otherwise with his appeal, it would be a big trouble." Takamatsu nodded in agreement.
"He went to play "Assassin Nie Yinniang", and he is also our competitor, so he can't hide from it." Zhou Yi knew about it.
"Haha! That's right! I forgot about "Nie Yinniang". Gao Song laughed.
"Actually, it's not that we forgot, but everyone doesn't think that "Nie Yinniang" can win us." Zheng Zilong said bluntly.
Everyone laughed, and that's exactly what they thought.
"And Lou Degua is not famous for playing."
"I'm still very confident in our film."
"We have all watched the trailer of "Nie Yinniang", in fact, it is like that, the picture is exquisite, the scenery is beautiful, the flowers are very beautiful, Lou Degua is willing to be a green leaf and a flower, what else is there? We're not afraid of it! β
Everyone talked a lot and was full of confidence. The good results of the screening really gave everyone confidence. Now everyone is not very afraid of colliding head-on with a strong film like "Disciple of the Evil God", let alone the literary blockbuster "Assassin Nie Yinniang". What's more, next week, there will be thousands of theaters nationwide screening of their own films, at least in terms of theaters, the disadvantages will not be so obvious.
There are two super blockbusters to be released next week, under the collision and squeeze of "Eight Hundred Scholars of Langya Mountain" and "Havoc in Heaven", how many screens can "Disciples of the Evil God" get? It is estimated that 3,000-4,000 screens will be released, which is very good.
If it is 45 to 1,000 theaters, the gap seems to be too big to overcome.
But if it's 1,000 vs. 3,000 theaters, the gap is definitely not that big.
As long as your film is good enough, theaters will increase the number of screens, and catching up with this gap is not a problem.
Everyone talked and laughed and discussed, and they were not worried.
When I came to the front of the restaurant, there was a sign erecting there, which read the activities of the fan salon.
The word salon is a foreign product.
Although China is strong in this world, it doesn't mind introducing some foreign words, such as salon, paiduì, wiya, copy and the like. The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great! It's the same in the United States, where words like kung fu and tofu are all imported Chinese.
Everyone learns from each other.
"Let's go inside!"
Takamatsu led the way, and everyone entered the inner room and took the elevator to the cafeteria above. Today, a fan salon was held here, and many fans around recognized them and greeted them one after another. Takamatsu and the others naturally responded with a graceful smile.
The restaurant manager was receiving guests at the front desk, and when he saw Takamatsu and them, he hurriedly came over to greet them, invited everyone in, and gave them a VIP card.
Gao Song: They are unceremonious, they are here to eat and drink for nothing.
In the restaurant, different areas are placed with different video promotional materials and beautiful posters, all of which are prepared in advance.
This kind of fan salon activity has also received strong support from various film and television companies, and it is not a problem to distribute some materials and posters.
Besides, at least give face to the world actor Lou Degua!
Zhou Yi noticed that a place in front of him was the publicity area of "Five Poisons", where many fans were dining and chatting.
Now there were still seats there, and Takamatsu and the others walked over.
Those fans noticed Takamatsu and they all came over enthusiastically to talk and take photos. Everyone is very happy to meet the star. Don't think that second-tier stars have no status. Second-tier stars are also stars. Fans in this area have seen this film and know that this film is about to become popular.
For the reasonable requirements of the fans, Gao Song and others will try their best to cooperate, they are originally here to engage in publicity, so they naturally want to get close to the fans.
Zhou Yi also took a group photo with several fans and friends, and at this time he noticed the central grill surrounded by a circle of elegant seats next to him, and the signboard placed there, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Five Poison Gate Package?" What is this package? β
A fan next to him enthusiastically introduced: "The Five Poison Gate Package is roasted centipede, roasted scorpion, roasted snake meat, roasted gecko, roasted toad or something." β
"It's kidding me! Can you eat these things? "Zhou Yi is really sweating! Where did you find it?
These things are often only seen in some very bad social news.
The fans next to him laughed.
Takamatsu and the others couldn't help laughing.
"We've all been grilled and eaten on the shelves." Cheng Dakui shook his head again and again.
"We are a gluttonous nation, what can't we eat?" Some fans are joking wantonly.
"Don't listen to him. Who can eat those things? You know when you eat it, the crunchy, the chicken flavor, it's all fake. Even if you want to get those things, the restaurant doesn't have a place to get them! Where are you going to get those things? To bake those things, they must be seized by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. β
Everyone burst into laughter.
After communicating with the fans, the four of Takamatsu gathered around a table, planning to eat casually. As for whether there are other stars in other areas of the restaurant who have come to promote the movie, they don't know, and they don't care, just do their own thing.
Gao Song said with a smile: "This is a fan restaurant, and today is holding a fan salon event, and basically all the fans who come are here." They don't just seem to be promoting the world's films, they're also promoting ours. β
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "That's true, it's not bad." β
The LCD TV hanging around has been playing the promotional trailer of the film, mainly the promotional advertisement of "Disciple of the Evil God", which will definitely be advertised for the new film of Huanyu next week, but there will also be trailers for other films, and there is also a trailer for "Five Poisons".
Otherwise, would there be so many fans involved?
Not everyone is a fan of Disciples of the Evil God.
If it were a special promotional show for "Disciples of the Evil God", there would not be so many fans to cheer for it.
Who wants to be forced to watch just one movie? At the very least, there should be a choice.
If this is not the case, I am afraid that Zhou Yi will turn around and leave, so he will not stay here, and he will not be short of food.
At this time, everyone picked out some of their favorite foods and dined together.
During the dinner, everyone inevitably talked about the company's shooting plan for this year.
Artists are naturally more concerned about these things.
Zhou Yi did not hide it, and revealed some information to Gao Song.
At present, the company must strike while the iron is hot, and then not only will there be a TV series to be filmed during the holiday, but also several small-cost films will be filmed one after another to test the water and accumulate upfront funds. In any case, there will definitely be a film from Zhengdong released in the autumn file. If you are a qiΔ shun lΓ¬, maybe you will have to make another mid-range film this year to compete for the Christmas or New Year's file.
It's possible, but it's a step-by-step approach for now.
As the pillars of the company, Gao Song and others naturally know some news, but they are very happy, at least there will be filming again soon.
That's a good thing, as actors, they don't want to be idle.
Which popular actor will be very idle?
Zhou Yi took the opportunity to briefly introduce the plot of "Rushing to the Sky Tower", at least let everyone have a general impression.
knows that the style of playing is in the same vein as "Five Poisons", and everyone is very interested.
Obviously, taking advantage of the popularity of this kind of explosive fighting scene, I want to make a few more action movies like this, and it would be a fool not to shoot them!
Zhou Yi wants to play the villain, the ultimate boss, Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang.
Takamatsu and the others were surprised, but it was normal to think about it.
If you want to play the first actor, acting skills are a big difficulty, and you really have to learn hard! But if this super boss is played well, it will definitely be very exciting, especially the superb martial arts and the battle against the crowd, which is indeed very suitable.
Zheng Zilong said with a smile: "This time, the male protagonist Black Demon Fox Zhihua must still be played by Gao Song, and he is suitable for playing this kind of reckless hero." β
Gao Song said proudly: "That's it! We were born with this temperament! This role is definitely my cup of tea. β
Zheng Zilong is not jealous of him, and he usually has a good relationship.
Now they are all small-budget films, and the company is still in the stage of accumulating funds, so it doesn't matter who plays the leading role. It is difficult to rush to the front line with small-budget films alone, and everyone is mainly accumulating experience and preparing to shoot blockbusters. But everyone was really scared of blockbusters before, and now it's good to accumulate more experience.
Everyone talked and laughed and talked in a low voice.
The restaurant was noisy, and they spoke in a low voice, not afraid of being heard.
"Which role does Zilong plan to play?" Takamatsu asked with a smile.
"I'm still thinking about it!" Zheng Zilong is indeed thinking very seriously.
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "These two scripts are indeed not suitable for Brother Zilong, but there will always be suitable scenes in the future, so there is no need to worry." He always wants to comfort Zheng Zilong, but Zheng Zilong has an excellent personality, and obviously doesn't mind playing a supporting role, and he has the beauty of an adult.
"With Brother Zilong's acting skills and skills, and the status of the company, it is obviously not suitable to play small roles, such as roles such as Flower Butterfly, Xiao Zhuge and God Hand Great Sage, it is not bad, the key is in literature and drama, there is not much room for play. The more important roles, such as the brocade rat Bai Yutang, and Bao Zheng's protΓ©gΓ© Yan Chasan, can be played. I originally wanted to arrange for Brother Zilong to play Bai Yutang, but the key is that Bai Yutang died tragically in the film, and there are fewer scenes, so it is better to play the strict investigation of Xiangyang. We can use guΓ² screenwriter to add drama and drama to this role. β
When Zhou Yi said this, Zheng Zilong was very satisfied.
"I think it's okay. This role is very important, it is one of the protagonists, and if you add more scenes, there is indeed a lot of room to play. β
"Zilong has turned from evil to good again, this time he wants to play a positive character, the minister." Takamatsu laughed.
"Haha!" Zheng Zilong also smiled. His performance style is to be able to be good and evil, and good and evil!
"Brother Zilong is the leader of our company, of course he can't always play a negative role, the stereotype is not good, and it is right to change it." Zhou Yi explained two sentences. He really thinks so, it is impossible to really abolish Zheng Zilong.
Everyone laughed, knowing that this situation was normal.
The company's pillars play villains only occasionally, and it is impossible for a lack of talent to do this.
"Brother Da Kui still has a very important scene this time, mainly playing a scene." Zhou Yi is all-encompassing, and he will not forget Cheng Dakui.
"I guess I'll either play the flower butterfly or the god hand sage. Xiao Zhuge is definitely not suitable for me! Cheng Dakui is very self-aware, and he listened carefully to Zhou Yi's previous analysis before he can say a meridian, which shows that he is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, and he is also a very shrewd person.
"This depends on how Director Zhao arranges it when he arrives and sees which role is suitable for him, but it must be very dramatic."
In this way, everyone is very satisfied.
In fact, the adjustment of the script is sometimes completely determined by the status of the actors.
The actors are different, and the plots of works destined to be in this life and in previous lives will be adjusted accordingly.
This is a very normal thing.
In this way, Zhou Yi can be regarded as doing the work of several leading actors in private. He is also worried that several leading actors have opinions on the role and are unbalanced, so how can they act well? Now everyone can understand, not to fight for the name of the moment, just to seek the merit of a lifetime, naturally it is better.
People who are often sensible and patient can succeed in the end.
Zhou Yi is willing to accompany everyone out today, and it is precisely because of this aspect of his mind.
He didn't just come to promote the film, or to eat and drink for nothing.
