Chapter 363: Video Promotion
PS: First of all, I'm sorry to everyone, because of my grandfather's 100th birthday, so there was no time to code words and updates yesterday. At the same time, I would also like to thank "Crazy Laughter" for the reward and support, and I will work harder to complete this book.
Body:
After Zixi completed the filming of the two movies "Going Out" and "Welcome to Dongmo Village", she did not sit idle. As soon as he entered June, he left South Korea with Kim Tae-hee and went to Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and other places to promote the TV series "Love at Harvard" that premiered there for half a month.
Zixi and Kim Tae-hee have a large number of fans in these countries and regions, especially Zixi, who is one of the best K-pop stars in Southeast Asia who can make most people of different ages and genders like, and his local influence even exceeds that of most local stars.
Fans in these areas have collected movies and TV series from which Zixi starred when she was a child star, waiting for Zixi to sign his name after becoming popular on these works. It is said that the original DVD of [Hong Hee Guan] was sold at a high price of 7,000 baht in Thailand, that is, about 250,000 won, which is an absolutely super high price.
Zixi has also traveled to Southeast Asia and other places for location shooting many times, from "Bali Story" to "Romantic Full House", all of which were completed in Southeast Asia and other places. Therefore, many local people like to travel to these places that have appeared on TV, so it has also led to a local tourism boom.
This time, Zixi came again with his [Love at Harvard], of course, it attracted the attention of many fans and fans, from the airport, to the hotel where Zixi stayed, and he attended events held by local TV stations and certain groups, surrounded by many fans outside. They all want to be able to meet their idols, they all want to talk to their idols, or even just shake hands.
Zixi also thought about going out to meet these enthusiastic fans, but unfortunately the organizers strictly stopped Zixi's reckless behavior. Which fans outside are not a hundred or dozens of people, but more than 500 people at the most, if there is any accident in Zixi, it will have a great impact on the local image. Don't forget that Zixi's mother is a senator from the United States, and if she is questioned by the U.S. government, these countries will not feel good.
Since he couldn't go out to meet the fans, Kwon Ji-hoon, who accompanied Zi-hee to carry out the promotion, of course, tried his best to dissuade Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee's plan to go out to play, so they had to stay in the hotel. Who knows if the two handsome men and beauties will be recognized immediately when they go outside? At that time, they were surrounded by many fans, and no one could save them.
The two of them are nesting in the hotel, you and me, surrounded by Zixi's bodyguards, and Kwon Ji-hoon is well aware of the relationship between the two, and Kim Tae-hee's agent deliberately transferred the local translator and staff away, so that the two can do what they like in the hotel. Of course, Zixi is working hard to continue to make plans with Kim Tae-hee, and he hopes that Kim Tae-hee will be the first to conceive his child, after all, this woman is his first love and the woman he loves the most.
Half a month of publicity was quickly completed, and Zixi, who returned to South Korea, officially devoted herself to the promotional activities of "Welcome to Dongmo Village", and the producer has released the first promotional poster.
In the poster, Lee so-hwa, a captain of the Korean People's Army played by Zi-hee, and Pyo Hyun-chul, a South Korean soldier played by Shin Ha-gyun, are wearing military uniforms of their respective formations, holding rifles, and pointing at each other. Both of them had murderous eyes and vowed to kill each other, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Another poster shows Zixi and Shin Ha-kyun standing on the snow together, looking up at countless U.S. bombers in the sky, as well as the aerial bombs that fell straight down. Their faces did not show fear, but there was a sense of relief and happiness.
Both posters seem to reveal a message, the two opposing sides seem to have changed from saber rattling to fighting together. What happened in between? What kind of people did they meet that would make such a big change happen, so that they could turn hostility into friendship between themselves and us?
The third poster is the cute appearance of the heroine Jiang Hye-jung standing at the front, puffing up her bun face. Behind her stood the People's Army of Zihee pressuring you, the South Korean soldier played by Shin Ha-kyun, and of course, a few villagers with kind and kind smiles on their faces. Everyone has a smile on their faces, and this kind of smile will never appear in a tragic and cruel war, but on this poster, everyone has a happy smile on Wen Chi, which is incomprehensible.
The heated discussion caused by the poster immediately began, and the media was not only concerned about the meaning of the poster, but also about whether Zixi's transformation work could really get rid of his rich and handsome image?
Judging from the poster, Zixi has a beard all over his face and is dirty all over, where is he wearing a formal suit and driving a sports car to attract people's attention? However, because of this subversion, the media is concerned about his transformation, and this is the first time in more than two years since his debut that Zixi has challenged this kind of role that only relies on acting skills and does not rely on appearance.
Naturally, Zixi's fans will also be interested in his new film, especially in Zixi's Fanclub, where there are a few tidbits of him filming the film. These photos were taken by photographers at the time, edited and given to Zixi as gifts. Zixi put the photos on her Fanclub for members to browse or download.
A month is not much to promote a movie, but in a small place like South Korea, it is enough. After completing the propaganda in Seoul, Zixi went to Suwon, Chuncheon, Gangneung, Wonju, Cheongju, Daejeon, Jeonju, Daegu, Gwangju, Ulsan, Busan, Yeosu, and Jeju Island. In one month, I traveled to all major cities in the Republic of Korea. Everywhere I go, there are press conferences, and we wait for local fans to meet and promote new films.
Zixi, who has become accustomed to this kind of long-term propaganda activities, is also a little unbearable. Jiang Huizhen even slept when she returned to the hotel every day, and even ate dinner with supper. Shin Ha-kyun is not much better than Zixi, as a powerful actor, he has received slightly less attention than Zixi, but many media reporters like to ask him about Zixi's performance during the filming of the film. The best thing is to be able to get Zixi's lack of strength and acting skills from him, this is enough news to attract attention.
Fortunately, whether it is director Park Kwang-hyun or Shin Ha-kyun, Kang Hye-jung and others, they all praise Zi-hee a lot. In terms of acting skills, he praised Zixi as one of the most skillful and smooth actors he has ever seen. The ability to control the character is much better than expected. Director Park Kwang-hyun also revealed that he was reluctant to strongly recommend Zixi to play the role of the Korean People's Army by the producer. However, when Zixi appeared in a U.S. military uniform, director Park Kwang-hyun changed. Because the visual impact of the two is absolutely unprecedented.
When I saw Zixi on the set, I was not worried at all because of the destruction of my image, and like ordinary actors, I was willing to do even the dirtiest and most tiring work by myself, and never relied on others. It's like filming the first battle scene, and I didn't use a stuntman at all, and I was willing to face the shock of the reaction bomb directly, and the shooting was completed intact.
For the appreciation of the director and the actors, the media will of course have reservations. But Zixi's fans won't, and they are already fully looking forward to the release time of this film. Because tickets for the premiere in Seoul have already been booked, and tickets for the later screenings in various places have also begun to be pre-sold online, causing many fans to start ordering online despite the late night.
In order to be grand, the distribution company of this film is preparing to hold a grand premiere ceremony, and the venue is also selected in the Apguting Cinema City, where the "Taiji Flag Flying" was held last time, and is ready to invite many celebrity guests to attend and help. In addition to being an artist star invited by the producer and distribution company, I also hope that the leading actors will invite their familiar artist friends to participate, so that they can grow their momentum.
It is no secret that Zixi is popular in the circle, and he has a wide range of friends, whether it is in the entertainment industry, or the song industry, or the variety show industry, his friends are all over the entire Korean entertainment industry. Of course, it is impossible for the publisher to let Zixi really invite all her friends over, so what will happen to artists who only have a few friends in the circle? Isn't this a slap in the face?
Of course, Zixi won't bother inviting anyone to attend the premiere of his new film, these are still left to Luo Xiuzhe and Kwon Jixun to have a headache, and he has more headaches to deal with now.
Liu Yifei, who is filming a TV series in China, actually sent an email and called in person in the evening, inviting Zixi to attend her coming-of-age ceremony at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing next month. The rite of passage was initiated by her mother in consultation with her agent, who then covered all the costs. She said that many Chinese actors and celebrities invited by the agency would come to celebrate her that day, but Liu Yifei said that none of this mattered, she just hoped that her Zixi brother would show up.
is eighteen years old, a girl who was still a yellow-haired girl, and finally became an adult. Recalling the immaturity and youthfulness when they met in the United States, as well as the youthful young girl and elegant temperament when they met again, Zixi couldn't help but smile. People grow up in memories, and the memories between Zixi and Liu Yifei are undoubtedly beautiful.
Now that this friend is officially an adult, Zixi certainly wants to celebrate him. But the scandal he once had with Liu Yifei still has a market, and there are still many media in Chinese mainland who are willing to dig into their past. If Zixi went to China to celebrate Liu Yifei's birthday like this, would the scandal escalate again?
I discussed this matter with Luo Xiuzhe, but Luo Xiuzhe's opinion was that Zixi should not go, just say "Happy Birthday" on the phone, or send someone over to send a gift, and it is enough to send a heart. After all, Zixi's two consecutive films are going to be released, not only is the schedule relatively tight, but if the box office results are affected because of the sudden scandal, I am afraid that the producer and distributor will hold Zixi responsible, and Zixi's reputation in the circle will also be affected.
Luo Xiuzhe didn't understand the relationship between Zixi and Liu Yifei, thinking that they were just friends who had met in the United States, even if there had been a scandal, it was just an over-exaggeration by the media. But Zixi didn't think so, Liu Yifei's feelings for him were obvious, and Zixi also had a good impression of Liu Yifei after seeing him again, recalling everything they had before, his heart was full of warmth.
It's impossible to say how to let Zixi not attend Yifei's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but in what capacity she wants to participate is the most important thing. Close relatives? Hair small? Or a friend in the circle? Or are they just ordinary friends? I'm afraid that the latter will cause Yi Fei's unhappiness and sadness.
Close relatives? What kind of relatives are they like? The relationship between Yi Fei's mother and her father is an open secret at home, and the two of them almost don't live together openly, and I'm afraid that everything else should and shouldn't be done has been done, so is Yi Fei his sister? Should I attend my sister's coming-of-age ceremony as an older brother?
