Chapter 151: Singing all the way
But of course, it depends on the quality, "The 101st Marriage Proposal" has Huang Bo here, which is better; "Love Together" may have a poor reputation, but it is not very threatening.
And they have an advantage here in Kyoto today, because it was announced as early as 7 days ago that the main actors were going to perform a roadshow, so there were already a lot of fans waiting for them.
Li Jingkun said: "But today is Valentine's Day, do you all have a date?" Cheng He said: "What Valentine's Day? I don't understand, now I only have 'work' and 'work' in my eyes! Xiao Yang said: "That's it, boss, you haven't gone out on a date, what are we going to date?" Isn't it, Xiaobai? Bai Jingting said: "That is, dating or something is definitely not as important as work." Li Jingkun said: "Single dog, please don't speak - okay, Zu Fan don't laugh, let's work first, try to end it as early as possible today." "This time the people are more uniform, but in order to run a few more movie theaters, they are also divided into two teams.
Li Jingkun, Huang Baoqiang, Cheng He; Bai Jingting, Gao Meiyuan, Xiao Yang and Song Zufan are in a group. Li Jingkun: Their first cinema was Yida Cinema; Soon after arriving there, the whole mall was in a sensation, after all, even the big malls in the metropolis rarely meet big stars.
Not to mention that there are so many more this time. As a result, the floor of the cinema was quickly filled with people. The other floors, such as the corridors on each floor, are also crowded.
Some of these people are movie fans who come here to watch them; Some didn't know in advance that there would be a star, so they simply came here to play; There are also those who received the news at the short notice and rushed over nearby.
"Ah, Li Jingkun, Li Jingkun, this way! Look here! ”
"Baoqiang, Baoqiang, Huang Baoqiang!"
"Cheng He, Cheng He, you are Zeng Xiaoxian······!" Not many people know about the benefits of roadshows at the moment.
It is also after several years of development and summary that the talents in the circle truly appreciate the significance of the roadshow. The important significance of the roadshow is to expose the film publicity information to the media, communicate the film content with fans and audiences, and convey the emotions of the film, so as to form word-of-mouth fermentation and obtain communication effects.
At the same time, through communication, the publicity strategy can also be appropriately adjusted. In addition, the roadshow is also a good way to communicate with the theater manager, so as to gain the advantage of scheduling films.
Of course, city roadshows will also increase media exposure. A lot of times, traffic really is king. So at present, the roadshow is one of Li Jingkun's big killers!
Because at present, they are the only ones who pay attention to it, and only they are seriously implementing it.
"I want to ask Huang Baoqiang, what is the difference between the roles in this movie and the ones you played before, and then in "Thai Embarrassment" and "Chinatown Detective", which role do you prefer?" The process of the roadshow is not complicated or difficult, and the main activity is to communicate with fans and fans; Even if there are some small games and small interactions, they actually do not consume physical strength.
The reason why the roadshow is tired is that it is tired to keep taking the car to transfer, and then it lasts for a long time. A movie theater usually stays for about 30 minutes, and at the end of the group photo, everyone leaves and continues to a place.
At this point, a member of the audience stood up and asked the question, and many laughed. Because it's a little bit
The problem of "stirring up trouble". However, this kind of problem is only trivial for Huang Baoqiang now.
"I definitely like them all, after all, I read the script carefully and studied the role carefully before I took it. However, I am quite happy to be able to take over the filming of "Exploration of Chinatown". This movie is also a comedy, and many people may think that I am also playing a funny role, and may think that it is no different from what I have played before. But in fact, what I want to say is that in this movie, the role I play is still quite different from the previous role; Including comparing it with the characters in "Thai Embarrassment". In "Thai Embarrassment", 'I' am still a relatively silly person, but in "Chinatown", there have been more big changes, 'I' am not stupid at all, but a bit of a smart person. I like this very much, I think this can make everyone see a different 'Huang Baoqiang', a different 'me'. And there is a setting of martial arts, which is also a point that I really like. So when the director approached me, he said that it was a character tailored for me; Now that the movie is out, I agree with him. At the same time, I'm quite happy with my performance. Thank you. After Huang Baoqiang finished answering, everyone applauded.
Then, under the guidance of the host, the microphone was passed to another audience. This is a girl with long hair and glasses, she stood up and said, "I want to ask the director, why do you put the sentence "Zhou Yi" in front of the movie? Li Jingkun replied: "It's a good question, I believe many people have seen that sentence, and now I will retell the content of this passage: one yin and one yang is the Tao, followed by goodness, and the nature of the achiever." For this sentence, in fact, everyone has everyone's understanding. I can only share a little bit of my own opinion. My understanding is that yin and yang work repeatedly, as does good and evil; Human nature is complex, and good and evil are in the individual, and it is also a dynamic state. That's why there is that saying: don't test human nature. So the dialogue between Bai Jingting and the little girl at the end of the movie is also trying to talk about it. The little girl thinks that every person is predestined for good or evil as soon as he is born. Because the total amount of good and evil in the whole world does not change. Bai Jingting's character believes that people are complex and have two sides, so he can be called a person; So a piece of paper folded diagonally can stand. He wanted to tell the little girl that everyone may have evil thoughts, and everyone can do wrong things; But don't forget that there is a good side to man – he certainly wants everyone to be the good side that triumphs over the evil side. He also has the meaning of persuasion for the little girl. That's about it. After Li Jingkun finished speaking, there was another burst of warm applause.
One of the features of "Exploration of Chinatown" is suspense, so these days, the discussion about eucalyptus, the discussion about good and evil in it, is also a very hot topic on the Internet.
The second and third brushes that Li Jingkun said before also appeared among these fans, and many people did dig up a lot of different opinions.
And many opinions and opinions, including the creators themselves, were not expected······ For example, the speculation about the life experience of the actor Bai Jingting, why did he complete a perfect crime?
Some say it was because he killed someone when he was young, and then his father took his guilt and went in. Another example is why the little girl's classmates are missing?
Where the hell did he go? Many people will naturally think that he is dead when they see this, but some people say that he is not dead, and that he disappeared on purpose······ The list goes on and on.
can only borrow a sentence from a film review: this movie may not be perfect or inadequate, but it is definitely a domestic masterpiece; There's a lot of information, and there's a lot to be deduced from each character.
······ The next day, the box office results came out. On Valentine's Day, "Journey to the West" broke 100 million in a single day!
The total box office in 5 days came to the position of 400 million! "Exploration of Chinatown" is 96.5 million, which is also a figure that is almost about to break 100 million, with a total box office of 356 million!
Other works have also risen to varying degrees, among which "The 101st Marriage Proposal" actually got 40 million.
The attendance rate and word-of-mouth are also okay, and it seems that it will also be a movie that can make money. The sixth year of junior high school continues to show in Kyoto.
If there are many creators involved, everyone will share some content, which is a little easier. And a lot of things are said the same, and occasionally the audience asks the same questions.
It's like being a singer and often singing the same song over and over again. If it's the kind of song that is only famous, it's even worse, you have to sing the same song for years or even more than ten years.
How many feelings are numb, right? At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the roadshow of a movie theater ended, and everyone was on the way to leave, He Xuekai told him that Da Mimi called him just now, saying that it was about "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", and asked him to call her back when he was free.
So after getting on the bus, he found a back seat and sat down, and then called Da Mimi.
After ringing twice, the other party picked it up, and there was no greeting either, and the two went directly to the topic. She said: "The company is very interested in your proposal and would like to ask you to meet tomorrow for a detailed chat." Li Jingkun said: "Tomorrow······ It's so unfortunate that tomorrow I'm going on a business trip. ”
"Where to go?"
"Tsu City."
"It's not far away, when will you be back? It's okay to come back and talk about it. ”
"I won't be able to come back in ten days and half a month."
"So long? What the hell did you do? It's not like you're regretting it, and you're looking for an excuse to hide from me, right? Big Mimi shouted.
“······ Do you think it's possible? Am I the one who lacks that money? ”
“······”
"I'm going to a roadshow to promote a movie. "Eucalyptus Chinatown" is very popular now, don't you know? "According to the first roadshow plan, it was 16 days; But the results are good so far, and there will definitely be a delay of about 10 days.
Therefore, he will not be able to return to Beijing until at least 20 days later on this business trip. And Huang Baoqiang, Cheng He and others will definitely not run for so long, and in the end, he and Bai Jingting and Xiao Yang can only continue to run for the remaining 10 days.
“······ You know, didn't I give you publicity on the scarf? ”
“······” Both of them seemed to be a little bit at this point
"Social" is on the body, and what he says is a bit out of bounds. Huang Baoqiang, Song Zufan and others also heard Li Jingkun's words, and they all felt very funny - at this time, everyone was sitting in the car, and it was difficult to hear him on the phone.
Da Mimi said: "The movie roadshow has to be done for so long? Isn't that tiring? Li Jingkun said: "Definitely, otherwise how did my box office come from?" ”
"So it's a road show? Do you also have a roadshow during the Spring Festival? ”
"Not really, it only started yesterday."
"Okay - so when are you free?"
"Just tonight, right? Do you think it's okay? It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. ”
"Okay, I'll ask and I'll call you later."
"Okay, we'll get back to you later." Li Jingkun hung up the phone, and then called Zhou Deze, he said, "Is there anything else tonight?" You may want to accompany me to negotiate a business, with Huanrui Media. Zhou Deze said: "Okay, what time is it?" ”
"I don't know yet, I'll call you later, I'll tell you first. You also ask Sheng Yuan if there are any other more important things, and if not, go with you. I'll have to continue the roadshow tomorrow, and if I can talk about it, you may have to follow up on the specific details. ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll talk to Sheng Yuan." Da Mimi's phone call also came back quickly, she said there was no problem, and asked if she wanted to eat together.
Li Jingkun said: "Don't eat first, next time." I'm too busy here, and I'm not done yet. 8 p.m. ····· Come to your office at half past eight, the traffic in Kyoto is not easy to figure out, so there is a little more time in advance. The two agreed on the time and place, and hung up the phone again.
Neither of them just now said anything about the actors; Because it's not necessary, and it hasn't gotten to that point yet.
And it has been several days since Li Jingkun mentioned this matter to her. At this time, he suddenly called over for an interview, proving that they had no opinion on Gu Xiaona and Li County's participation in this TV series.
Maybe even the role of the second female proposed to him can be agreed. After all, Gu Xiaona's image and temperament are very good, and her appearance in ancient costumes is also very good.
However, everything can only be known and determined after meeting and talking; So it's a bit too early to talk about that.
Huan Rui has to understand Li Jingkun's specific ideas, how much money he can give, how many resources he can provide, how much he wants to share, whether he will have the idea of wanting to participate in screenwriting and production, etc., all of which must be understood before proceeding to the next step.
So take care of the matter at hand for now and meet in the evening. So Li Jingkun called Zhou Deze again, informed him of the time and place, and told him to prepare a door-to-door ceremony.
·····
"I'm sorry, but I've been a bit busy lately."
"It's okay, understandable. Your movies have been so popular lately, it's normal to be busy. ”
"Yes, the box office has been okay recently, so I want to strike while the iron is hot."
"Hahaha, you're okay, but there aren't many movies on the market."
"Mr. Cheng has won the award." In the evening, the office of the chairman of Huanrui Media. In addition to Li Jingkun, Zhou Deze, Sheng Yuan and Da Mimi, the two chairmen of Huanrui, Zhong Junyan and Cheng Yuan, as well as the manager and executive chairman Jiang Lei.
Jiang Lei is also the chief planner of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword". After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, they began to get to the point.
Li Jingkun's idea is actually very simple, that is, he wants Gu Xiaona and Li County to participate in the TV series "The Legend of the Ancient Sword".
But for no reason, why should someone else give it to you? Just because your actor is suitable? In the film and television industry, how many roles must be played by which actor?
Your actor is suitable? Isn't it okay to do anything else? The main character in each drama, in addition to trying to find a suitable actor, will also look at whether the actor has other resources or background.
If there are several alternatives at the same time, it will definitely compare the market value and popularity of the actors, whether the other company's company can provide other resources, and so on.
For example, this actor is a person from a production company, like Da Mimi, she is currently an artist under Huanrui, so it must be no problem for her to participate in the role - it is better to find and establish a project with her as the protagonist.
Another example is that this actor is recommended by the investor, and the chief planner, chairman and director are also very suitable to look at this actor, that is you.
So why it is difficult for people who have no relationship, no background, and no resources to mix well in the entertainment industry, is because when the good resources have not yet come out, they have already been allocated.
Even if some roles are not suitable among the producers, investors, or people recommended by the distributors, most of them will not be found casually if they want to find actors from outside.
Unless it is some big directors who really want to find an actor who fits the role very well, then it is possible for some people to win the jackpot as soon as they debut.
Like what
"Mou Girl",
"Star Girl" those. Including Longqi Film and Television, if it weren't for its own artists, why would "Chinatown Explorer" star Bai Jingting?
If it weren't for his own artists, why did Li Jingkun come over to talk to Huanrui about business and ask for one or two roles?
That's why he said before that if the market value of Gu Xiaona and Li County alone is not enough, he can also participate in the investment and take out the money.
"Actually, I mainly fancy your project, after all, the TV series you produced before are obvious to all, and they are all popular products. I happened to know Da Mimi, so I asked her to help take the line down and see if there was a chance to cooperate. We won't point fingers at the production, after all, you are still more experienced than us in cosplay. But if there's something we need help with, we'll do our best. "Li Jingkun's first target is to be an actor; The second goal is to participate in the investment.
But it all depends on what the other party means. If you can invest, of course, it is good, but if you can't participate, you can't force it.
And he didn't plan to meddle in the creation, because the original project had a great impact and didn't need to do anything extra.
Besides, he has enough projects of his own, so why not put that energy into his own work? Zhong Junyan said: "In fact, we basically have no objection to Longqi Film and Television wanting to participate in this project, after all, Longqi Film and Television is also a large company, with sufficient resources, and the ability of artists can be trusted." However, the female No. 2 director currently has a favorite actor. ”
