Chapter 429: The thriving Langya Pavilion
The video of Xu Zhen's interview was released at 8 a.m. on Oct. 6.
Since Dongyue's team was doing crisis public relations for "Wangcheng" at this time, the video had just been released, and someone on the publicity team noticed it.
The title of the video is called "I met Xu Zhen when I watched "Wang Cheng".
The people in the propaganda department thought it was the title party at first, but they didn't expect to click on it and see that it was really Xu Zhen praising their movie "Wang Cheng".
Soon, this video was forwarded to several Dongyue work groups, and then spread ten, ten to hundreds, in a very short period of time, almost all Dongyue employees.
Suddenly, a wave of grievance, frustration, and resentment began to spread rapidly throughout the company.
The people in the production team can see that Xu Zhen really watched this movie seriously.
His compliments are not high-sounding polite words, but very pertinent praises, and many of the compliments are praised in the places where the parties are most proud.
Many people nervously played this video countless times, and some even couldn't hold back their tears.
These people can't tell what they're crying for.
It's not gratitude, it's not moving, maybe it's just because I've been mediocre for half my life, numbly begging for life every day, and suddenly found that someone can see my shining point.
I worked hard and stayed up all night to make things, in exchange for not only living money, but also the recognition and respect of others.
And once this emotion is tasted, it is like poison, which makes people want to stop.
- You don't want to be a slave to others.
For a while, many people wanted to change jobs.
When Mr. Cai took Xu Zhen to run away from Dongyue, these people had scruples because the situation of the new company was uncertain, and once people got older, they always had to consider all kinds of life burdens.
Now, more than a year later, this "Langya Pavilion" Film and Television Co., Ltd. has successfully produced an online drama and a TV series, which have achieved great success in their respective fields, and can be regarded as initially gaining a firm foothold in the industry.
This level of risk has reached the level that many people can bear.
Colorist Wu Weixin searched the Internet for a long time, but failed to find the recruitment information of Langya Pavilion, hesitated, and simply took the opportunity of smoking to run to the backyard and directly contacted Xu Zhen himself.
"Doodoo ......"
"Hello? Mr. Wu? ”
After a while, the phone was connected, and Wu Weixin was overjoyed when he heard Xu Zhen remark his number, and quickly cleared his throat and said, "Ah Zhen, I'm Wu Weixin." ”
"I just saw you promoting "Wangcheng", and I want to say thank you to you."
Xu Zhen on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Teacher Wu is polite, I happened to meet a few media people when I was watching a movie last night, I didn't prepare in advance, I told the truth." ”
Hearing this, Wu Weixin suddenly showed a look of excitement and some embarrassment, and said, "That, Ah Zhen, I have a question I want to ask you......
He paused for a moment, hid his embarrassment with laughter, and said, "Well, I won't beat around the bush with you—are you Langya Pavilion recruiting technicians?" ”
Xu Zhen said without hesitation: "Urgently needed, especially urgent!" In particular, post-production technicians like Mr. Wu who can stand alone are needed. ”
His voice sounded slightly excited, and he said, "Is Teacher Wu coming?" It's so welcome! ”
"Our Langya Pavilion can only be outsourced in the later stage, and Uncle Cai has mentioned it many times before that he wants to form his own team, but unfortunately he has not been able to find a suitable candidate."
"Wait a minute, I don't know anything about personnel, wait two minutes, I'll find a 'professional' to contact you......"
“……”
The two exchanged casual greetings and hung up the call.
Wu Weixin paced two steps in the backyard as a thief, paying attention to the eyes of the people around him, trying to keep his abnormal behavior from being discovered.
After a while, an unfamiliar landline phone number called, he thought it was probably a staff member of Langya Pavilion, so he quickly picked it up and said, "Hey, hello?" ”
"Hahahaha, Lao Wu!"
However, at this time, a familiar middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "Oh, I heard Ah Zhen say that you want to come to us?" Welcome, so welcome! ”
"Where are you now? In Dongyue? Hurry up and pack your things, I'll bring someone to pick you up now! ”
When Wu Weixin heard this voice, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
- it, Cai Shijian?!
Xu Zhen said that he was looking for a "professional" to contact me, but it was directly the chairman himself.
Wu Weixin only felt that the scene of "refusal" of the other party more than a year ago was still vivid, and he was a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Cai, you are too polite, how can you go out in person, if there is anything, you can send someone from the human resources department to contact me." ”
Cai Shijian waved his hand and said indifferently: "Oh, what kind of human resources department do we need for a big company?" I'm the 'people department'. ”
Wu Weixin: "......"
Suddenly, I feel that this company is unreliable, what's going on?
The two talked and laughed, but after all, they roughly agreed on the matter of job hopping.
"That's right, Lao Wu," Cai Shishi said, "You are more familiar with this circle than me in the later stage, if you think the level is okay, help us to ask, our company is too short of people now, especially the lack of technical backbone." ”
When Wu Weixin heard this, he subconsciously glanced up at his office on the third floor.
"Well, okay, Mr. Cai", Wu Weixin covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "I'll give you a ...... That, I'll look for you. ”
……
Just two or three hours later, the video of "Xu Zhen praising Dongyue's movie "Wangcheng"" began to circulate widely on the Internet.
Since this video involves Dongyue, Qiao Feng, Zhou Xiaoman and others are selfish, and they don't really want to stir up its popularity.
However, when Xu Zhen's team did nothing, the popularity of this video climbed higher and higher, and it was gradually pushed out of the circle by passers-by on the Internet.
By noon, #许真夸赞东岳电影#这个词条就攀上了热搜榜.
Because not long ago, "Langya Bang" made a big splash at the Magnolia Awards, and netizens have just been popularized by various marketing accounts about the entanglement between Xu Zhen and Dongyue.
As a result, I didn't expect that when Dongyue's new movie was released and suffered a word-of-mouth Waterloo, Xu Zhen was able to praise the works of his old club with such a peaceful attitude, and it was completely thankless to do this kind of work.
Most people may not know Xu Zhen's past, and they only saw "Wang Cheng" in this news, but there are still a large number of netizens who have a great impression of this gentle young actor.
Even, even some fans of "Wangcheng" male No. 2 Zhou Ran felt guilty after seeing this video, and after thinking about it, they silently deleted the original post that sprayed Xu Zhen.
……
At the same time, on the side of the crew of "October Siege", they originally had a lot of complaints about Xu Zhen in promoting other films, but they didn't expect that this interview video brought Xu Zhen himself far more popularity than the movie "Wang Cheng".
Director Chen Zi'an saw that Xu Zhen's hot search index soared in 24 hours, how could he miss this good opportunity, he immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves, and with this hot search, he smashed a large wave of movie publicity, praising his young actor as a small flower.
Then sure enough, although he had already tried to clear his name for the previous overturn, his identity as a "Xu Zhen black fan" was difficult to wash away immediately, and he was immediately spurned by countless passers-by.
But so what?
Chen Zi'an didn't care at all.
If my "self-depravity" can drag the box office of the movie up by 5%, I am willing to hang myself up and scold myself every day!
……
On October 7, in a movie theater in Rongcheng, several little girls looked up at several movies currently on sale, struggling to know which one to watch.
One of them thought for a while and said, "I just swiped a video this morning, Xu Zhen went to the cinema to watch "Wang Cheng", and said it was very good-looking. ”
The companions immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, I also saw that video." ”
"Ah, I envy the people who watched the same movie with Xu Zhen!"
"Hey, I originally wanted to watch "Wangcheng" on the 5th, why didn't I watch it? Maybe you might even meet by chance! ”
"It looks pretty good to watch the trailer, I really have a great eye......"
"Even Xu Zhen said well, "Wangcheng" should be pretty good."
“……”
Several little girls chattered for a long time, looked at each other, and one of them said, "Then let's watch "October Siege"! ”
The rest of the people agreed, saying: "Yes, yes, yes, this morning, when I saw Xu Zhen introduce "Wang Cheng", I wanted to see Xu Zhen." ”
"Hahaha, are you too? Me too! ”
"I'm sorry, I saw that Xu Zhen was really working hard to promote "Wangcheng", but there is Xu Zhen himself, why should I read his recommendation hahaha......"
A few girls talked and laughed, bought four movie tickets for "October Siege", and waited for the team to enter the venue.
……
And not far from these girls, there was a group of sneaky figures looking at each other, very surprised by what they had just said.
- "Wangcheng" is good, then watch "October Siege", right?
What a divine logic!
These sneaky figures are naturally Xu Zhen and Peng Siyuan and others.
On the evening of the 7th, in order to make up for the regret of not watching "The Siege of October" before, Xu Zhen and others deliberately booked tickets online in advance and changed to a movie theater to watch the movie.
Xu Zhen learned the previous lesson this time, made stricter camouflage measures, adjusted his walking posture and gestures on the basis of his dress, and finally watched the whole movie safely and without being noticed again.
Compared with "Wangcheng", the attendance rate of "October Siege" is obviously much higher, and it is obviously the evening of the last day of the holiday, and the screening hall is still full.
Although Xu Zhen is one of the participants, he has never seen the final cut of "October Siege", and he has some expectations for the content of this movie.
And he also wants to stand in the perspective of a bystander to see what kind of effect he has shown when he is on the same stage with many actors.
However, what surprised Xu Zhen a little was that when he was on the set, it was of course the coolest thing to play with the actors, but filming with Xu Haoyu felt as uncomfortable as playing cotton.
However, when the feature film of the film was released, the biggest surprise to the audience was the plot co-produced with Xu Haoyu.
Xu Haoyu played the role of Ah Si, the coachman of the Li family in "October Siege", and his grandfather treated him like a relative and helped him propose marriage for the girl;
The young master Li Chongguang played by Xu Zhen treated him as a brother, taught him to read, taught him how to write letters to girls, and finally taught him to read the sentence "Long live China" in the midst of the war.
The two walked on the road of no return together.
The few tears that appear in the film are all related to the interaction between Ah Si and Li Chongguang.
Xu Zhen heard an audience member in the front row whispering, "Am I blind?" How do I feel that Xu Haoyu's acting is okay? ”
The companion whispered: "No, it's really okay." ”
"I remember watching "Yang Jiajiang" in the first half of the year, and I felt that he acted very well there."
"It seems that whenever you cooperate with Xu Zhen, Xu Haoyu's level will rise slowly, it's amazing."
"I think Xu Haoyu won't film by himself in the future, let's play Xu Zhen specifically, maybe one day I will make myself an acting school!"
……
After the two-hour movie, Xu Zhen left the theater unsatisfied.
The final cut of "October Siege" is still very good.
Compared with "Wangcheng" that I watched two days ago, this movie is indeed better than one step in terms of shooting techniques and narrative logic.
In the first half of the literary drama, the identity and status, personality, predicament and heart knot of each main character in the story are clearly explained with exquisite rhythm, which can be called a textbook "crest"; In the second half, the climactic fight scenes are also handled quite beautifully, which can be regarded as a solid and powerful "leopard tail".
In just two hours, the film has completed a "Water Margin"-style "point-total" structure story, which makes people can't help but be impressed by director Chen Zi'an's ability.
Two days ago, when facing the crew of "Wangcheng", everyone in the "Lost Orphans" viewing group who complained wildly was also quiet throughout the whole process, and they didn't dare to make more statements.
- This is really the strength of a top director and a top team!
Maybe some people don't like this story, but they have to admire the strength of this team.
On October 8th, after the holiday officially ended, the box office results of the National Day films were finally released.
"October Siege" was screened for four days and released for three days, and finally ranked second among the entire National Day films with a box office score of 75 million.
This result made the producers very satisfied.
At the same time, Dongyue Film and Television's first big-screen movie "Wangcheng" received a box office of 24 million, ranking sixth in the same period, which is a pretty good result.
The people of Dongyue Film and Television know very well that the box office of this movie soared on the 6th and 7th, and it was obviously driven by Xu Zhen's video.
However, they never imagined that one day, the box office hits of the movie would make them so bad.
Because, the company's turnover rate in the past few days has reached an outrageous level.
The yard is full of people moving.
