Chapter 90: You do the first year of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth
The popularity of the promotional video of "Spider-Man" was expected by Xiao Cheng, but the other crew members who participated in the filming did not have seen the edited and processed demo tape at all, and they did not know that Xiao Cheng made a promotional video.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on April 2, Bai Fan, who had been busy all day yesterday, was still asleep when he was suddenly woken up by a ringtone on his mobile phone. In the past month, Bai Fan has been filming MTV, and all the songs of the 5 singers together have almost 60 songs, which is not a small amount of work, so Bai Fan's temper is inevitably a little irritable.
Bai Fan picked up his mobile phone with half-squinted eyes and looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Professor Ma from the Chinese Opera Directing Department, and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared, and he was sober. In the face of this department head who can decide whether he will fail the course with one sentence, how dare he slack off.
As soon as the phone was connected, Bai Fan said in a flattering voice: "Hey, Director Ma, I haven't caused anything recently?" Why do you have to work hard and call me to teach in person? ”
Director Ma on the phone laughed and said, "You Bai Fan, you are still so skinny." Don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble for you today, the movie you made is very good and creative, and it will be released then, remember to give me a few tickets. ”
Bai Fan's movie is in the Chinese drama and no one knows about it except for a few buddies, how did it reach Director Ma's ears? And listening to Director Ma's meaning, he knows a lot, and he is quite happy! Bai Fan was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's certain, I will definitely have to come to the door to deliver you a ticket at that time, I can't forget you if I forget anyone!" Without your careful teaching, I would not be where I am today. ”
Director Ma was very happy, praised a few words, and hung up the phone, making Bai Fan foggy, stupid and unclear.
Being so troubled by Director Ma, Bai Fan couldn't sleep, he was just about to get up and wash, 'knock, knock, knock' someone knocked on the door, Bai Fan opened the door and looked, but it was Meng Kai.
As soon as Meng Kai saw Bai Fan, he pounced on him and gave him a big hug, and shouted in his mouth: "Brother, we are popular and famous, and now "Spider-Man" is being discussed everywhere on the Internet, I really didn't expect that the movie we made would be so powerful." ”
Bai Fan understood a little, he pushed Meng Kai away and said: "Die far away, grandma has a leg, I want to find someone else, don't harm me." ”
Meng Kai didn't think it was funny, and complained: "Go, just like you, who can look at you?" ”
Bai Fan ignored these two goods, opened his laptop, searched for "Spider-Man" on the Internet, and Meng Kai came and said, "You don't know about this, do you?" ”
The web page about the "Spider-Man" movie searched on the computer screen attracted all Bai Fan's attention, and he said while opening the web page: "I know a fart!" This morning, Director Ma of our department suddenly called and said that he wanted me to give him a few tickets, but I was still confused just now! ”
As he was talking, Bai Fan clicked on a video website, and at first glance, he saw a big title on the homepage of the website: The masterpiece "Spider-Man", which shocked your eyes and exceeded your imagination.
Meng Kai said: "This video was transmitted last night, and the click rate has exceeded 10 million this morning, and it is so popular that even I personally participated in the filming of this movie, I can't believe it. ”
This promotional video, which is less than two minutes, shows a large number of cool actions of Spider-Man flying in the air, with the end Spider-Man violating the gravity of the earth, stepping on the iron pole at the top of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in the magic capital, raising his right hand, spraying spider silk, and flying away, the whole video ends.
Bai Fan was dumbfounded, and Meng Kai chattered endlessly: "I can't get tired of watching this video dozens of times, it's cool to watch it once, it's really amazing." ”
Not only Bai Fan and Meng Kai, but also Chu Mingxiong, Tang Tiantian, Bin Tianxiang and several other main actors have received a large number of phone calls, all of which are friends and relatives who ask for movie tickets. made a few people baffled, and finally went online to find out what happened.
At about half past eight, in front of the Rainbow Company Building, which has been officially renamed Rainbow Building, several security guards hurriedly blocked a large group of reporters who wanted to rush in. The security captain who had just taken office had never experienced this kind of battle, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he shouted loudly: "Fellow journalists, don't squeeze, your request can only be answered when the company's leaders come, please calm down." ”
But how can you let these reporters calm down, although I have heard that Xiao Cheng made a movie before, everyone doesn't care much, after all, movies are different fields from novels and songwriting, and some people in the film and television industry are not optimistic about Xiao Cheng, so no one pays attention to Xiao Cheng.
However, Nima's, this Xiao Cheng actually made such a masterpiece "Spider-Man". A video of less than 2 minutes has exceeded 10 million hits in just one night, such a heavy headline entertainment news, who is calm and who is a pig, grabbing first-hand interview information is the main topic.
Several security guards were confronting a large group of reporters, and several Rainbow employees who came to work in the morning were also startled by the battle at the door.
Some peripheral reporters were sharp-eyed, and when they saw a few employees, they ran over and asked: "Hello, I am a reporter from Guangdong Daily, are you employees of Rainbow Company?" ”
These new employees didn't know what was at stake, and when they saw a reporter coming to interview, they nodded excitedly. This can poke the hornet's nest, and several people were immediately surrounded by this group of reporters, each with microphones in front of them, and those reporters asked all kinds of questions like crazy people.
A few new employees were stupid, the demo of "Spider-Man" was only seen by a limited number of high-level people in the company, and it was impossible for their level to have access to such company secrets, how could they answer the questions of these reporters?
The security captain tried to pull a few new employees out, but he was in a hurry and couldn't squeeze in. A clever security guard said: "Captain, this matter is not something we can solve, let's call and report to the general manager!" ”
The security captain said angrily: "Mr. Ji went to Hong Kong Island, what's the use of reporting?" ”
The security guard said, "Then call the boss!" With so many people huddled together, if something happens, we'll all have to roll up and get out. ”
When the security captain heard this, he hurriedly went to the security room and dialed Xiao Cheng's number.
After receiving the call, Xiao Cheng thought for a while and said, "You go and tell those reporters that the company has decided to hold a press conference at 10 o'clock and ask them to wait patiently." Arrange them in the company hall first, and you are responsible for arranging chairs and drinks, and then find the company for reimbursement. ”
The security captain was instructed, and then he summoned a large group of reporters to the lobby on the first floor of the company, and rescued a few new employees who were sweating profusely and seemed to have been fished out of the water.
He called the clever security guard and stuffed a few red girls for him to buy drinks. Then he and a few security guards hurriedly moved out of the chairs from the conference room upstairs, invited the reporters to sit down, and announced that the boss Xiao Cheng would hold a press conference at 10 o'clock, please be patient.
Xiao Cheng called Huo Chuan again and asked him to organize people to set up a simple reception place in the company's large conference room. also asked him to contact Bai Fan and Meng Kai, the main creators, and several leading actors were not left behind, so they had to dress up and attend the press conference on time at 10 o'clock.
At 9:50, Xiao Cheng, accompanied by Fu Chao and Wang Kunpeng, took the overlord to the door of the Rainbow Building.
As soon as the reporters in the hall on the first floor saw the monster-like overlord, they knew that a big man was coming, and immediately beckoned the photographers around them to get ready, and then prepared to rush up with a microphone in hand.
The security captain naturally knew the boss's car, and led a few security guards to surround the door of the overlord's car early to protect Xiao Cheng and get out of the car.
Xiao Cheng saw the reporters who flocked up, smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said: "Fellow reporters, don't worry, please follow me to the conference room and hold a press conference immediately." The director and crew of "Spider-Man" and several leading actors will meet everyone's requirements, don't crowd, take your time. ”
Bai Fan and the others had already entered the lounge through the back door of the company, dressed up like dogs, looking full of energy.
Tang Tiantian kept pulling Chen Yu and said, "Aunt Chen, this time is too tight, I don't have time to put on makeup and do my hair, can you show me?" ”
Tang Tiantian was wearing a bright red low-cut evening dress that I didn't know where to get today, and Chu Mingxiong said cheaply on the side: "Okay!" You're as smart as a big red apple, and I want to take a bite of it. ”
Tang Tiantian was so angry with him that she yelled to screw off his ears.
A group of people were making trouble, Huo Chuan came in, and said, "The boss has taken the reporter to the big conference room, you guys come with me quickly." ”
The large conference room was already crowded, and when Bai Fan and others arrived in full costumes, a flash of light immediately flashed in the large conference room. After Bai Fan and them sat down, Xiao Cheng held the microphone and introduced the identities of each person to the reporters one by one.
The next question is from the reporter, which is basically about the filming of the "Spider-Man" movie. Bai Fan and the others have all participated in it personally, except for being a little nervous at the beginning, and the answer later is also decent, and nothing wrong with it.
Then a reporter asked: "Xiao Cheng, at the beginning of the filming of "Spider-Man", I remember that many directors and stars in the film and television industry said that you were a nouveau riche and criticized your investment in making movies, do you have anything to say now?" ”
Xiao Cheng remembered all the things that famous directors and celebrities had satirized him at the beginning! Who made Xiao Cheng have a good memory! This guy pretended to say: "What achievements a person can make is not based on his mouth, but on his own efforts." I've never been interested in people like the authorities, and it's ridiculous that you jump out and make accusations without even reading other people's works. ”
Now the reporters are in good spirits, thinking that when Xiao Cheng first debuted, he once wrote a "Haiyan" to fight back against the Huaxia Writers Association. Now in this posture, Xiao Cheng is bombarding those famous directors who have mocked him! This kind of tearing war is the favorite of reporters.
Xiao Cheng paused for a moment and said: "The most pity is that the action actor named Yue Sheng, I was stuck in traffic on the road on the day I chose the role, and he left after arriving late." It's a pity that if he wasn't so arrogant, he would have had a great chance to become the starring actor at that time. ”
