After participating in the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, holding a press conference in Taipei, and participating in the recording of the talk variety show "Kangxi is Coming" broadcast by Zhongtian Comprehensive Channel last year, Lin Yuquan and others left Taiwan and continued to carry out propaganda in accordance with the previously formulated publicity schedule.

Not only in China, but also in overseas markets, the publicity made by Fox Searchlight and 20th Century Fox is also in full swing.

With the fierce publicity launched by Shuguang Film Company, various reports about "Red Cliff" quickly swept the major media, and many media even opened a special section of Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff" to track the dynamics of "Red Cliff" throughout the process.

With such a section, it is naturally convenient for fans and audiences to understand the situation of "Red Cliff".

"At the 42nd Golden Horse Awards ceremony held on November 13, Lin Yuquan appeared on the red carpet with the main creator of "Red Cliff", and then won three awards including the Golden Horse actor, and his 22-year-old age is also the second youngest after Xia Yu among the previous Golden Horse actors."

"On November 16th, this year's most watched epic masterpiece "Red Cliff" held a premiere press conference in Kyoto, and the leading actors appeared together, the scene was very spectacular.

On the evening of November 19th, Lin Yuquan brought Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Zhang Liangying, Han Lei, and Lin Junjie to record "Happy Camp" officially broadcast on Xiangnan Station, which immediately caused great repercussions as soon as it was broadcast, according to statistics, the ratings of the current program were as high as 5.3%, setting a record for the highest collection bar in the history of Kuaiben. The world-premiere theme song and interlude "Red Cliff" and "Drunken Red Cliff" in the show quickly became well-known. ”

After the premiere press conference in Kyoto, on the evening of November 23, the world premiere of "Red Cliff", which was broadcast live by Kyoto TV and Xinglang Entertainment, was held in Chibi, Xiangbei, the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Chibi. Lin Yuquan and a group of leading actors were all present, and many acting stars such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Xu Jinglei and others were present to help. The lineup is extremely luxurious, and when the celebration begins, the dazzling fireworks pierce the night sky of Chibi, and the two-and-a-half-hour celebration is wonderful and addictive. ”

After finishing the fly-around promotional trip, Lin Yuquan and others flew back to Kyoto on November 30 to prepare for the official premiere of the global theater on the second day.

"Guys, we've done a very good job overall. Terrestrial, TV, Internet, and print media are basically all covered, but when the next movie is released, we can arrange corresponding premieres in several box office centers in overseas markets, such as North America, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea and other places. In the conference room of Shuguang Film Company, Lin Yuquan looked at the company's management and said slowly.

"Actually, Zetao and I also have this idea, if the leading actor of our movie can be properly promoted overseas, it will definitely help the box office of the film, boss, it just so happens that you are going abroad. Or let's arrange a small press conference in the local area. Xiao Ran said with a blank eye, this guy wants to pull Lin Yuquan to run propaganda at any time.

"It's not a local premiere, and it's not very effective to arrange it. Next time, we will arrange such publicity during the publicity period. Lin Yuquan waved his hand, he was going to be busy with a new movie soon, and it was rare to have time to rest, he didn't want to toss himself too tired.

"Boss, now CCTV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, Xiangnan Satellite TV, and Kyoto Satellite TV are all contacting us to get the exclusive broadcast rights of "I Am Special Forces", how do you think this matter should be handled?" Ding Wei asked.

"What about the price they offered?" Lin Yuquan asked directly.

Among them, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV bid the highest, 850,000 per episode, and CCTV and Xiangnan Satellite TV both bid 800,000 per episode. Kyoto Satellite TV, on the other hand, is 820,000 per episode, and that's just the current bid. They're more competitive right now, so there's still room for prices to go up. The final transaction price may reach 900,000 per episode. Ding Wei said excitedly.

"Oh, it's so high, I'm right, if we sold it some time ago, it would have lost a lot." Lin Yuquan said with a smile,

As he previously analyzed, after CCTV launched "exclusive broadcasting", whether the domestic TV screen is about to enter the era of exclusive broadcasting, the turning point is the results of CCTV's purchase of exclusive broadcasting rights "Baolian Lantern" and "Jinghua Yanyun".

And these two dramas bought by CCTV really lived up to expectations, since the broadcast, the ratings are very amazing, among which "Baolian Lantern" has achieved the second best ratings in the competition of "Happiness Like Flowers" in the same period, and because the length of the drama is longer than "Happiness Like Flowers", it jumped to the first place after the first round of broadcast of "Happiness Like Flowers".

As for "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", a Republic of China drama that brings together stars such as Zhao Wei, Chen Baoguo, Pan Yueming, Pan Hong, Hu Ke, Huang Weide, etc., it has refreshed the highest ratings record of CCTV this year, and according to the current situation, the throne of the annual ratings champion can be said to be in the bag.

Ratings are one of them, and in terms of advertising costs, the two have brought amazing returns to CCTV.

In this way, CCTV, which originally planned to engage in exclusive broadcasting rights, is undoubtedly more resolute, while other TV stations can sit still when they see that CCTV has gained such a big benefit.

And recently, in addition to "I Am a Special Soldier", is there a second drama that is more reassuring and has both quality and attracting the attention of the public? No, so after watching the first few episodes of the series, in the face of the lineup that brought together Lin Yuquan and almost the original cast of "Happiness Like Flowers", all TV stations were red-eyed, and everyone wanted to catch this series in their own hands.

"It's still the boss who is wise, fortunately we didn't sell it at the time, I calculated, if our TV series sells 900,000 per episode, plus the income from later audio and video products, we will almost be able to recover the cost." Ding Wei said happily that after Lin Yuquan proposed a large-scale investment system for the TV series, it is worth celebrating at this stage as long as he can not lose money.

"What's more, if we count the content broadcast of Dawn.com, we should make money, although it may not be much. But I believe that this is only temporary, as long as we always insist on producing high-quality TV dramas, then with the continuous increase in the price of TV* broadcast rights and the development and growth of Sugon.com. We will definitely get better development in the field of TV dramas. Lin Yuquan said happily, as early as when he invested in filming TV series. He was ready to lose money, just looking for well-filmed dramas, but he didn't expect that now not only did he not lose money, but he also made money, although he didn't make much, but no one thought that he didn't have much, and the successive successes of "Happiness Like Flowers" and "I Am a Special Soldier" undoubtedly strengthened his idea. He wants to make the production of Shuguang Film Company a guarantee of high-quality products, and as long as it is a film and television drama shot by Shuguang Film Company in the future, people will think that this is a good-looking TV series.

"The matter of solo broadcast cooperation, General Manager Ding, you are fully responsible, since they are rushing to buy, then let's not be polite, we should not earn too much money, we can talk about how high we can, but there is one point, if the price of the four is the same." Then choose Kyoto TV, after all, we have already had two good cooperation with them, and our company is located in Kyoto. More support from the local media is also needed. Lin Yuquan said slyly.

"Okay." Ding Wei nodded in response.

"I will leave Kyoto for a period of time the day after tomorrow, I hope you don't relax in the days when I'm not there, the early publicity is important, but the work after the release is also not negligent, now Director Xiao, you talk about tonight's premiere arrangements and the subsequent release work plan."

After discussing the work, Lin Yuquan returned to his office, and Tang Qian also knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, this is the flight and hotel booking plan you want me to prepare. You take a look, if you can. I'll book right away. ”

"Just follow this reservation!" After Lin Yuquan looked at it carefully, his words just spoke. He immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words: "Forget it, don't be busy for now, and I'll tell you about my decision in the afternoon." ”

"Okay." Tang Qian politely withdrew.

I was busy in the office for a while, and when it was almost eleven o'clock, he immediately went to the hotel where he had already booked a meal with several managers of Shuguang Film Company, and at noon he would have dinner with the main creator of the crew and Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others he invited, and then go to the theater to attend the official premiere of the theater in the evening. It's troublesome enough to make people free up for a trip to participate once, so why bother others, and the creator of "Red Cliff" and these friends alone are actually enough to support the premiere.

"Brother Yuquan, are you going to travel overseas?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise, beside her, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Xiao Yang, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Xu Jinglei, Liu Ye and a group of people who were sub-Yuquan Famil also looked at Lin Yuquan with surprised expressions.

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do during the release of the movie, so I want to go to the United States, South Korea, and Hong Kong to see the entertainment industry there, and travel by the way, how about it, does anyone want to go with me?" ”

This is actually a dream he had a long time ago, at that time, because he often watched Hollywood movies and Hong Kong film and television dramas, he was extremely curious about Hollywood and Hong Kong, the Oriental Hollywood, and he always wanted to go there to see it, and after becoming a director, this idea intensified. But now, in addition to seeing it, I also have plans to learn. In his opinion, both have areas that he needs to learn, and he does need to learn now.

The reason why I chose to go to South Korea is because with the introduction of Korean dramas by CCTV and Shonan Satellite TV, Korean dramas have gradually become popular in China, especially after entering 2000, Korean dramas such as "Blue Life and Death Love", "Winter Love Song", "Stairway to Heaven", "Da Jang Geum" and other Korean dramas have set off a huge momentum throughout Asia, and now the Korean Wave has completely replaced the former Hong Kong film and television dramas in Asia. The most obvious example is TVB's introduction of the Korean drama "Da Chang Jin" at the beginning of this year, with an average rating of 47 points in the finale, a maximum rating of 50 points, and the number of viewers as many as 3.21 million, accounting for almost half of the total number of people in Hong Kong, and its ratings also surpassed that of Hong Kong, starring Zhou Yunfa and Zhao Yazi, "Shanghai Tang" ranked first in Hong Kong's 25-year TV drama ratings record list.

Lin Yuquan, who is interested in making a difference in the field of TV dramas, of course wants to investigate how others shoot TV dramas on the spot, and learn from the successful experience of others.

In addition, he can also go to the cinema to check the attendance of "Red Cliff" and collect the evaluation of the film from audiences in North America, South Korea, and Hong Kong, which is definitely of great help to him.

"Then you're too insincere. I'm just saying now, I'd like to go, but the problem is that you'll leave the day after tomorrow. And I don't have a passport yet, so I can't make it right away. Wang Luodan said angrily.

"Yes. I don't even have a passport, how can I get there? Zhu Yawen said hatefully.

Jiang Yan, Ning Hao, Xiao Yang, Huang Bo, and Luo Jin on the side also did not have passports.

"I want to accompany my wife, so I won't go." Xu Zheng smiled.

"I have to go back to the crew to film tomorrow, I can't go." Liu Yedao, who specially asked for leave from the crew of "Surrender to the Naïve Girl" and came back to support Lin Yuquan.

"Senior sister, Yifei, what about the two of you, you have passports, do you want to go with me?" Lin Yuquan turned his head to look at the second daughter.

"I'm going with you alone. Definitely not, but if you don't mind me bringing someone with you, I guess I'll be fine. Xu Jinglei winked at Lin Yuquan with a smile.

Of course, Lin Yuquan knew the meaning of her words, waved his hand and said, "You have no problem, I have a problem, forget it, I don't want to feel uncomfortable." ”

After saying this, Lin Yuquan turned his attention to Liu Yifei, this girl's little face was wrinkled, which is rare. In the past, this girl heard that she went to play, but she was very positive! Could it be that she doesn't want to go either? He then said, "Yifei." Don't keep quiet, you're left with nothing. ”

Liu Yifei is indeed distressed, but it is not that she doesn't want to play, of course she is happy to be with Lin Yuquan, but when she heard that everyone else was not going, she thought of a certain problem, and she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

"Brother Yuquan, are we just going alone?" She looked at the others again.

"You mean to come with me, just the two of us, of course. You heard it too, and they couldn't go. "Someone walks with him. Of course, Lin Yuquan was very happy.

"But Brother Yuquan, if it's just the two of us going alone. If you are photographed by reporters, will there be a scandal! Liu Yifei said weakly, she has not had scandals, but she used to cooperate with the publicity needs of the crew, and when she thought of the possibility of having an affair with Brother Yuquan, she felt weird.

"So you were struggling with this just now!" Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly.

"Speaking of Yuquan, there will really be scandals at that time, and media reporters will definitely write that "Red Cliff" will be released, Lin Yuquan will travel with the United States, or Lin Yuquan will appear in Hong Kong, and Liu Yifei will love to accompany him." Xiao Yang said strangely.

"It's very likely." Wang Luodan also said.

Others also spoke.

"I said what are you doing blindly, yes, if you are caught, this will indeed be scribbled by media reporters, but this time my trip is mainly the United States, South Korea, only two days in Hong Kong, although I and Yifei are now more popular, but the Hong Kong paparazzi are not so easy to recognize me and Yifei who are dressed casually, and it is necessary to worry about this when friends go out to play together? Acting stars are also human beings, if they are worried about everything all the time, they will not be able to live. Lin Yuquan shook his head, he didn't want to live so tired, and he didn't have the burden of being a celebrity artist, as long as he felt comfortable.

"Anyway, I'm not afraid of scandals, Yifei, if you're worried that the scandal will affect you, you can not go."

"Brother Yuquan, of course I want to go, but I have to discuss this kind of thing with my mother, and I will go if she agrees." Liu Yifei looked at Lin Yuquan pitifully, and finally the desire to go out to play overcame the inexplicable weirdness.

"This is as it should be, you can call and talk to your aunt now, I will let Tang Qian book air tickets and hotels." Lin Yuquan nodded.

Liu Yifei immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed Liu's mother's phone, and after a brief explanation of the situation, Liu's mother readily agreed.

"Since Auntie agreed, wait for the next Fei to go home and prepare the relevant documents, and I will ask Tang Qian to book the plane ticket and hotel." Lin Yuquan smiled, although there was only Yifei alone, but he finally didn't work in vain.

After lunch, Liang Chaowei and the others went back to the hotel to rest first, Lin Yuquan sent Yifei back to get the documents, and the others also went back to the place where they should go.

waited until five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yuquan gathered everyone and rushed to the premiere theater.

"Director Zhang, why are you here?" Lin Yuquan was stunned to look at Chen Kaige, who suddenly appeared on the red carpet show, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him after he walked the red carpet.

"I'm here to support you! You didn't send me an invitation. Chen Kaige smiled heartily.

"The main reason is that the previous celebration held in Chibi, Xiangbei has bothered you to go all the way, so I didn't invite you today." Lin Yuquan said curtly.

"I know that's the reason, if I'm busy, of course I can't find time to come, but since I'm idle during this time, I'm definitely going to come to the show, so don't feel embarrassed, the courtesy is still exchanged, and when my "Wuji" is released in the middle of the month, you can just come and support me, your Yuquan family now has so many popular star artists and potential new stars, although I bring it over, I won't have too much." Chen Kaige said with a smile.

"Hehe, to attend your premiere, where do they still need me to bring it, as long as they are in Kyoto, they will sneak over." Lin Yuquan is not hypocritical, he is not the kind of person who talks about gratitude at any time, as long as he is grateful in his heart.

It turns out that Chen Kaige is by no means the only one who is uninvited, looking at the stars who appeared on the red carpet one by one, Lin Yuquan was happy at the same time, but also smiled bitterly, and now he owes a lot of favors. (To be continued) R655
