Chapter Seventy-Nine: Looking Forward to the Release

On October 6, several commercial blockbusters released during the National Day were fiercely fighting in the box office market.

The ownership of the box office champion of the National Day file still retains suspense, attracting the attention of countless people, and the crew of "A Good Show" also held a start-up press conference on this day.

This is Song Huaiyuan's idea for Fang Bo, it is too dull to start shooting directly, and a press conference can have some heat.

At 9 a.m., in a hotel in Yanjing.

At the invitation of Huarui Film and Television, twenty or thirty reporters came to the press conference, as well as many self-media people, who looked quite like that.

When the time came, Fang Bo took Feng Shuming, Huang Jingshan and other crew members to the small stage that was arranged, and the press conference started on time.

According to the process, the host introduced some information about the movie, Fang Bo and others shared a few interesting things during the preparation, and then it was time for the interview.

The first to be asked was a middle-aged male reporter with black-rimmed glasses, who stood up and took the microphone from the staff.

"Director Fang, the first time you direct a movie with tens of millions of investments, will you feel pressure?"

"There's definitely going to be pressure, but I think it's okay."

This question is not difficult, Fang Bo thought about it and replied: "Compared with "Night Club", the investment in "A Good Show" is indeed much higher, in this regard, of course, I don't want investors to lose money, otherwise no one will invest in me in the next movie." ”

"But no matter how much or little I invest, I pay more attention to the film itself, and to be honest, the preparation of the film is already busy enough, and I really don't have the heart to pay attention to other things, so the pressure is not stressful, and the impact on me is not great."

"Okay, thank you Fang Dao." The bespectacled reporter sat down.

The next reporter to ask a question stood up, "Director Fang, I noticed that there seems to be some controversy about the casting of the movie on the Internet, can you tell me the reason for choosing Li Hao as the second male lead?" ”

Fang Bo did not hesitate and said: "The reason is very simple, whether it is his external image or personal temperament, Li Hao is very suitable for this role, and his acting skills are also competent enough, so I chose him." ”

Fang Bo is so calm that he doesn't look like a person of this age, nor does he look like a potential director who has just reaped hundreds of millions of box office, he doesn't want to hype anything at all, so the answer he gave is flat and stable, and there is no explosion point at all.

In contrast, reporters obviously prefer to interview directors like Wu Xiaofei who don't keep their mouths dirty.

Not to mention that the box office exceeded 100 million, Wu Xiaofei's movies had not been released before, and he dared to say a lot of controversial remarks, if he was allowed to achieve the same achievements as Fang Bo, I don't know how much news would be created.

The third reporter refused to give up, and continued to ask questions on this topic: "Director Fang, Li Hao's performance in "Dream Chaser" was criticized by the audience as too exaggerated, and many people on the Internet questioned his acting skills, do you have anything to say about this? ”

This question is more acute, and it directly pulls "Dream Chaser" in.

If Fang Bo said that Li Hao's acting skills were not good, then there would be no way to explain why he was chosen as the second male lead, but if he said that his acting skills were good, it would be tantamount to saying that Wu Xiaofei's level was not good, and there were good actors who didn't know how to use them.

Although the latter is a recognized fact, saying this in front of reporters will undoubtedly anger Wu Xiaofei and Wu Shaolin behind him, and will leave the audience with a sense of arrogance.

Fortunately, Fang Bo had expected it and prepared in advance, and in the face of a group of reporters in the audience, he replied: "I think if you evaluate a person from just one thing, there will definitely be limitations." Similarly, to evaluate an actor's performance, it is not enough to just look at a work. ”

"What is Li Hao's acting skills, you can take a look at the other works he has starred in, and you may come up with a different answer from before."

Seeing that Fang Bo really couldn't ask anything here, the reporters behind him finally gave up, and the questions he asked were no longer so targeted.

"Director Fang, do you have confidence in the box office prospects of the movie?"

"As a director of the movie, of course I am very confident in my work, but what the final box office is, I don't count, it still depends on whether the audience likes the movie or not."

"Li Hao, it's the first time to play the second male lead in a movie, do you have any feelings?"

"My biggest feeling is to thank Director Fang for giving me this opportunity, and I will try my best to play a good role and strive to live up to Director Fang's trust."

"Mr. Huang, the frequency of your drama has been very low in recent years, why did you agree to star in "A Good Show" this time?"

"First of all, I want to explain that I don't take on many dramas, it's not that I don't want to take them, it's just that no director came to me."

Huang Jingshan made a self-deprecating joke, and everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing.

When the laughter subsided, Huang Jingshan replied seriously: "In addition to this reason, it was actually the script of the movie that moved me......"

"Yuan Lu, do you have any special feelings about cooperating with Director Fang this time?"

"Well, among the directors I have worked with, Director Fang is definitely the youngest one, but what impresses me the most is that he has professional abilities that do not match his age......"

……

After the press conference of the new film "A Good Show", not only the actors of the crew, but even the artists under Huarui Film and Television helped forward it on Weibo, and by the way, Fang Bo's Weibo account was also added, which helped him increase his fans.

Fang Bo registered an account very early and completed the verification, but there has been no publicity.

"Night Club" has achieved good box office results after its release, but the audience obviously pays more attention to the actors who stand in front of the stage, and there are very few behind-the-scenes positions like directors who can mix up fame.

It has been a few months since he won the Best New Director Award, and his Weibo has only a few thousand fans.

A wave of retweets from Huarui's artists finally made the number of his fans break through the 10,000 mark, then 20,000, 30,000, and 40,000.

It's a pity that Huarui Film and Television signed contracts are all some small coffees, not to mention first-line big-name stars, there are not many who can get to the second line, and the publicity effect of Weibo forwarding is quite limited, and he only gave him tens of thousands of fans before the follow-up was weak, and it seems that it finally stopped before 100,000.

The number of Weibo fans is like this, and in the same way, even if they helped forward it, the news that "A Good Show" is about to start still hasn't gained much popularity.

In addition to the repercussions from the fans of these stars, it only caused some waves among the audience groups who have watched "Nightclub".

At noon, in the women's dormitory of a university in Shanghai.

Just after lunch, Tian Xiaoling returned to the dormitory, took off her shoes and stepped on the ladder to climb to the bed, rubbed her belly that became round after eating, and took out her mobile phone to pass the time by swiping Weibo.

When "Night Club" was released, she followed Fang Bo on Weibo, and set it up to pay special attention, so she soon saw the news that Fang Bo held a new film press conference.

"Huihui, Director Fang's new movie is about to start, come and see!"

In the bedroom, there is a layout of the upper and lower tables, Tian Xiaoling poked her head out from the side of the bed, beckoned to her best friend Yao Hui not far away, and motioned for her to come and see.

"Really?"

Both of them are fans of Fang Bo, and when they heard this, Yao Hui was surprised and got up and walked over.

took the mobile phone from Tian Xiaoling's hand and looked at it, and sure enough, it was so.

Yao Hui said happily: "When this "A Good Show" is released, let's go watch it together." ”

"Of course!" Tian Xiaoling smiled and nodded, and began to look forward to the day when the movie was released.
