Everything was on the right track, and after the time came to mid-June, Xu Rui's work suddenly began to get busy again.

In addition to the recording of "Run, Brother" and the hosting of "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show", there is also an event that he must attend that he must attend.

That is the publicity of the movie "Nightclub" before it landed in major theaters.

From filming to the scheduled release, the film "Nightclub" lasted for more than half a year, which is fast and fast, and slow can be regarded as slow.

After all, it is a small-budget movie, with a total investment of only two or three million, and the so-called pre-release publicity is difficult to compare with the big-budget big casts released in the summer.

That being said, though. But no matter from the main creative team to the cast and crew, they have invested a lot of energy in the movie "Nightclub".

The first stop of the promotion of "Nightclub" came to Beiliang.

As the capital of a country, especially now in the warm-up period when many movies are about to be released, a city like Beiliang can almost see more than two or three film crews holding press conferences in various auditoriums or venues.

And the movie "Nightclub" is no exception, although it is not hyped, but because Xu Rui is often at the center of hot topics during this time, there are still a lot of media who come to cheer or join in the fun.

A rough count shows that there are about 20 newspapers and magazines, and even the entertainment sections of some portals have sent reporters.

"Thank you media friends for coming to participate in the promotional activities before the release of the drama "Nightclub", the following is the Q&A time for the main creators, media friends can ask questions about some questions about the drama "Nightclub", and our main creators will answer them one by one."

The task of hosting is naturally Xu Rui's cameo, his level is undoubted, and he exists. It can also help Xu Zheng, Li Xiaolu and others answer the sharp questions deliberately raised by some gossip magazines.

As soon as Xu Rui's words fell, a reporter with black-rimmed eyes stood up from his seat.

At first glance, Si Swenwen looks very bookish, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the cast and crew at the scene frowned.

"We all know that Xu Rui, your Xingrui company just opened some time ago, and your company also produced a talk show. There are rumors that your talk show is not being followed, and even your company has suffered a lot of losses because of it, and it is about to shut down. I wonder if this is true? ”

Glancing at the other party in surprise, Xu Rui immediately smiled indifferently, he was not surprised by anything else, but surprised that the other party's first question was actually aimed at himself.

Although he also explained in advance that he would let reporters ask questions about the movie "Nightclub", this kind of talk actually has little effect, what is there to ask about the movie? At most, it's just to ask the character's experience and box office expectations. It's not just about how well they work together.

Even if this kind of bland news is reported, it is as powerless as sinking into the sea, and it doesn't even matter whether anyone wants to pay attention to it.

Therefore, as journalists, the answers they want will always be the first to attract the attention of the audience, and only in this way can they benefit from it.

"Although your question has nothing to do with the movie "Nightclub", in order to prevent media friends from asking questions in the future, I have directly answered all the questions about this matter here." Xu Rui is not in a hurry, and he is eloquent.

"First of all, the rumors on the Internet are groundless. Not exactly. It has not been more than two months since the registration of Xingrui Company, so it is not more than two months for me personally and for other employees of the company. It also takes time and space to grow and adapt.

The entertainment industry is like this, it is itself at the center of public opinion, so I rarely pay attention to rumors from the outside world. However, I can tell you very responsibly that Xingrui Company has not suffered any losses due to talk shows, and it has not and will not have it in the future. ”

"As for the shutdown of the company that this media friend said. And our company's program is not interested, that is even more nonsense. Originally, I shouldn't have announced this matter, but since someone asked today, I will simply tell you generously.

"Our Xingrui Company and Star TV have reached a cooperation intention, and our company's program "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" will also land on Star TV in the near future, so I hereby declare. Please do not believe rumors and rely on facts. ”

Xu Rui's words were undoubtedly a blockbuster dropped from a high altitude. For a while, there was chaos in the media seats, and they found that the questions they had prepared before were all useless under Xu Rui's answer.

It can also be said that Xu Rui answered all the questions prepared by the reporters in advance with this remark just now, and his attitude was very clear, after answering the topics related to Xingrui Company, the reporters understood that no matter what they were asking, Xu Rui would prevaricate by finding the answer from the reply just now.

"Alas! Really...... In order to fight for some headlines, I knew that I would go to "Looking for Jackie Chan", at least there is a big brother over there, "Nightclub"? The star lineup is not good, and there is no gossip to dig up! How did I get here! ”

"I thought I could force something real out of Xu Rui's mouth, but I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning. However, it is not in vain, at least the news of the cooperation between Xingrui Company and Star TV has also been revealed by Xu Rui. I just don't know if this family deliberately let us use this matter to stir up the topic, or unintentionally? ”

Everyone turned their heads to each other, although they all deliberately lowered their voices, but judging from their facial expressions, Xu Rui still saw the word 'disappointed', and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, these people wanted to get words out of their mouths, it was really a dream!

Xu Rui is becoming more and more proficient in improvisation, although he did not guess that the reporter's first question was pointed at him, but he never naively thought that they would not ask him questions about the company.

Everyone is not in a circle in detail, but if you look at it as a whole, they are all part of the entertainment industry, so the effect of this trick on Xu Rui can be imagined.

In the following time, the reporter led the topic to Xu Zheng and Li Xiaolu, who as the leading actors of the drama "Nightclub", also shared some anecdotes in the filming process in a restrained manner.

Especially when it comes to box office expectations, Xu Zheng and director Yang Qing invariably looked at each other and smiled, and they thought of the bet Xu Rui made with the two of them before.

That is, the box office of the drama "Nightclub" in the first week of release will never be less than 8 million.

However, it has been so long, I just don't know if Xu Rui, a busy man, still remembers the original bet.

The two of them remembered that the purpose of this matter was not anything else, but they felt a little funny, and at the same time, they could also use Xu Rui's words to tease him in the future.

However, what Xu Zheng and director Yang Qing didn't expect was that before they could answer this question, Xu Rui on the other end had already taken the lead in speaking.

"There are too many uncontrollable factors such as the total box office, and if you look forward to it, the more the better. However, according to my own estimates, the box office of our film will not be less than eight million in the first week.

The reason why I dare to say this is because "Nightclub" is indeed a good story, maybe different from people's impression of comedy, but we can't hide its essence, this is a kind of intelligent comedy, a good movie that can make people laugh. ”

Again?

Xu Zheng and director Yang Qing only hated that they were sitting too far away from Xu Rui, if they could, the two of them would definitely go up and cover Xu Rui's mouth without thinking about it now.

The three of them brag in private, so how can this kind of thing be said in public?

You said 8 million in the first week of release, so what if it doesn't reach it? Isn't it slapping yourself in the face?

What's more, Xu Rui's words just now are undoubtedly a little too much, to put it simply, it is too crazy, looking at the Chinese film industry, there is really no director or actor who will make this kind of live broadcast prediction of his film.

First, it is easy to attract disgust, and secondly, there is no confidence in the current market.

After all, they don't control this kind of thing when it comes to cinema filming, and they don't say that it's someone who broadcasts your film on a 24-hour cycle 24 hours a day, so what is it? That's stealing the box office. It's a fraud!

Not only is it not honorable, but it will make people ashamed.

If the entire promotional meeting of "Nightclub" was held in a step-by-step situation before, then Xu Rui's words just now undoubtedly sent their entire crew to the forefront again.

Director Yang Qing didn't even dare to imagine what Xu Rui's words would be interpreted by the media on the spot, although this is not a trouble, but it is inevitable that a small-budget film with an investment of only two or three million will be ridiculed by industry insiders for such a high profile.

"Xu Rui, may I ask what is the basis for the box office prediction you just said?" I thought that today's publicity meeting would end without a hitch, but to the surprise of the reporters present, the Q&A time was coming to an end, and Xu Rui, who has always been cautious, actually released such a 'bold statement', how can this not be exciting.

"According to? What does this need to be based on? Xu Rui asked with a smile. "If I have to rely on it, it's that every crew member of this film from top to bottom used 100% energy to shoot, and my basis is that sincerity is infinite. I don't know if you're still satisfied with my answer? ”

"It's not that small-budget movies are lower than blockbusters, but that our stories start from different points.

So I hope you don't look at it in terms of investment, I remember there was a blockbuster movie in Hollywood that cost $200 million in investment, but in the end it was cut out that even their producers couldn't stand it. What does this mean? ”

"It shows that good movies are not measured by investment, and in this world, it is not only rich people who can tell stories to people." (To be continued.) )
