"Mr. Li, do you have any plans for the future?"

"I don't have any plans, I have just said that whether it is the Venice award or the nomination for the Golden Rooster Award this time, it is a surprise, whether it is my work or life in the future, it will be the same as before, I should film and film, I should rest and rest."

Han Binjiang, who was sitting opposite Li Tang, quickly recorded this text in the interview book, and then said, "Mr. Li, thank you for accepting our interview. ”

Li Tang smiled: "It's okay, our work is complementary to each other, but I still have to trouble you to help promote the movie." ”

Han Binjiang stood up and bowed his body and said, "This is as it should be, Mr. Li, you can rest assured." ”

The relationship between celebrities and journalists is actually very simple, celebrities need the praise of journalists to increase popularity, and journalists also need to get first-hand information from celebrities to attract readers. To put it bluntly, it's all business.

Li Tang returned to the capital this time and accepted an exclusive interview with the "Beijing Youth Daily" and the gossip media "Beijing News", which have a high circulation in the capital.

The things promised to the leaders must not be sloppy, they must be guaranteed in quality and quantity, and they must even be overfulfilled. It's not just about your ability to work, it's about your attitude towards your leadership.

Li Tang had a good impression of Han Binjiang, and although the "Daily News" he worked for could not be compared with "Beiqing Daily" and "Beijing News", he still accepted this exclusive interview.

In Europe and the United States, whether it is politicians, acting or sports stars, there are generally so-called "journalist friends", and generally speaking, such celebrities or politicians "journalist friends" can get some so-called exclusive news. In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of "journalist friend" is the mouthpiece that politicians or celebrities have to buy, and they are specially used as a tool to speak out, refute rumors, and wash white.

Li Tang and Han Binjiang met in Weimo, of course, they were each other's Weimo, and after more than a year of contact, they felt that each other had the potential to cultivate their so-called "reporter friends".

So Li Tang raised his wrist to look at the time, and said with a smile: "Xiao Han, it's all here, let's have a meal together." ”

Han Binjiang was flattered, and from the perspective of an entertainment reporter, he wished that he could make friends with celebrities and have more time to get along, so he hurriedly said: "Then I'm welcome, thank you, Mr. Li." ”

Li Tang asked Zeng Jia to find a good-looking restaurant nearby, and the three of them sat in a box.

Speaking of Han Binjiang, it is really shabby, reporters from big media usually bring photojournalists with them to do exclusive interviews with celebrities, and even some intern reporters, young reporters and the like who act as follow-up assistants. He is alone every time, and he does all the photography and interviews.

Because it was noon, everyone replaced wine with tea and chatted while eating.

To be honest, although the two have been in contact many times, most of them are in the form of interviews. Now that he gets along in private, Li Tang found that this Korean reporter has a wide range of knowledge, such as talking about some wild histories and secret anecdotes, and his understanding of movies is indeed unique, and he can even talk about some old Hollywood movies.

Li Tang couldn't help but be curious: "Xiao Han, with your current level, you can go to some big media to engage in film reporting, why do you have to go around in a small media like "Daily News"?" ”

There are not a few reporters he has dealt with, and to be honest, many reporters have a worrisome professional ability, and the questions they cover lack depth and breadth, and more often seem to be routine, and then earn a car fee and it's over.

Han Binjiang said shyly: "I mainly don't have enough academic qualifications, graduated from secondary school, and now although I have a bachelor's degree in Chinese language, but now the larger newspapers require a full-time bachelor's degree or above, and I have to have a professional counterpart." What's more, I don't have that connection, and now I'm very satisfied to be able to work as a film reporter at The Daily News. ”

Li Tang nodded, Han Binjiang is right, the reality is like this, it is generally difficult to get ahead without academic qualifications and relationships. If you want to get ahead, in addition to the opportunity from the sky, then you can only find another way.

He picked up the teacup and saluted: "Xiao Han, I still say the same thing, gold always shines." Don't think I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, I think you have the ability to come out sooner or later. ”

Han Binjiang hurriedly raised his glass with both hands: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for borrowing your auspicious words." ”

At this moment, he was quite moved, don't look at his low education, but he thinks highly of himself, and he feels a little like meeting a confidant after listening to Li Tang's words. Especially the difference in the status of the two, he was even more moved by recognition.

……

"What, enter the group early? No, Mr. Zhang, didn't you say it before, didn't you wait until the 11th Golden Week to report to the crew, I still have two movies to promote. ”

Receiving a call from Zhang Dabeard asking to join the group in advance, Li Tang looked confused.

Zhang Dabeard said helplessly on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Li, help." It's really a plan that can't catch up with the changes, I won't say anything else, even if I owe you a favor, September 28, Peach Blossom Island, Zhejiang. Make a call in advance and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. ”

“……”

September 28 is a relatively embarrassing day, on the one hand, "The Story of the Escort" has just been released for two days, and it is a critical juncture for publicity. On the other hand, "The Third Man" has been moved to October 5, avoiding the impact of "The Mummy 2", which means that the six days from October 5 to 11 are very precious for the time of "The Third Man".

But since Zhang Dabeard said this, it can be seen that this old man must have encountered some problems. During this time, there have been a lot of reports about "Shooting the Condor", and Li Tang has been paying attention to it. The biggest news recently is probably that Li Yapeng fell while riding a horse, and the injury was not serious, but it may have left some psychological shadow, and this goods have been healing in the capital during this time.

There is also the time of the weekly news to enter the group has been delayed again and again, at first it was said that the Venice Film Festival closed on September 13 to enter the group, and then it was delayed to the 16th, and then delayed, it is said that the first two days, that is, the 21st, just entered the group.

It is estimated that the grassland drama will not be able to be filmed for a while, so I am in a hurry to transfer to Peach Blossom Island, after all, a day of delay is a day's money!

Li Tang had no choice but to say, "Teacher Zhang, I can't make the decision on this matter, do you know Director Qi's side...... You have to let me say hello to Director Qi first, otherwise I can't afford to offend my little arms and legs. ”

Qi is in charge of the movie line, and there is not much intersection with Zhang Dabeard, who is committed to the field of TV dramas. So Lao Zhang said quite domineeringly: "It's okay, you just have to say, if it doesn't work, I'll let the producer communicate." ”

The producer is the Literary Association, which is at the same level as the General Administration at the administrative level, and accepts the leadership of the Ministry of Truth.

In these years, there are not many ways to promote films, which is nothing more than participating in a few talk shows on TV stations, and then going to the theater to meet and interact with the audience during the screening to achieve the effect of publicity, which is commonly known as a "roadshow". There is also a walk into the university campus and face-to-face communication with college students every year.

There are many universities in Beijing, and college students are undoubtedly a new force to attract the box office.

Whether he is participating in talk shows or communicating with the audience and college students, Li Tang is more or less mixed with some private goods, taking the opportunity to promote "The Third Man".

Qi Xin knew that this movie was personally invested by Li Tang, and he also knew the difficulties involved. The most important thing is that during this time, as the most popular actor in "The Story of Escort", Li Tang worked very hard in publicity, so he turned a blind eye and let it play.

Of course, it has something to do with interests, and as a director, the box office quality of the movie has little to do with him, and he pays more attention to the issue of face. The first time I was in charge of the director, the box office of the movie I made was always passable.

Fortunately, "The Story of the Escort" was released for two days, and the box office was gratifying, reaching one million yuan in the capital alone, which undoubtedly made everyone very excited. Don't underestimate the million-dollar box office here, it's only been two days, and it is expected that the total box office is likely to exceed 10 million.

You must know that if the box office exceeds 20 million this year, you can shoot the top ten of the total box office of the year.

It was in this situation that the satisfied Qi Xin nodded and let Li Tang leave early.

Make up for yesterday's second update
