“……”

In fact, Xu Nian only paid attention to the pre-sale on the 20th, and then continued to focus on filming.

Nothing else, filming in New York is more exquisite.

Because a large number of members of the América Film Guild were used to serve the film.

It is necessary to strictly follow the rules of the trade union.

For Tang Detective 2 and Li Cheng, the biggest constraint of the rules is the daily shooting time limit.

Of course, time itself is not the limit, but the various costs behind the time limit are.

In many cases, each of the main creative members has to make the best cooperation.

For example, Xu Nianjin directly said that he would give Li a late ticket on the day he entered the group, which has a joking meaning and serious meaning.

Any actor who appears on the cast list is late and will affect the filming process.

So, Li Cheng sent a letter to all domestic staff, including actors, as soon as he arrived in New York.

Emphasize not to be late and so on.

If it is not necessary, the actual shooting execution requirements of most shots are at most.

It's best to do it as much as possible.

Therefore, except for old actors such as Lin Shu and Yang Xiao, most of the actors on the scene have basically become alternate members of 'Xu Men'.

Let's put it this way, Li Cheng wants to give Master Xu a kowtow all the time.

I was thinking about it every day, but it was good to give enough money at the beginning.

In a word, without Xu Nian, the production cost may have to double to meet his Li Cheng's requirements.

In addition, today happens to be filming a scene in Times Square, New York, and there are a lot of requirements in all aspects, Xu Nian really doesn't have time to care about 'X'.

It wasn't until this scene was completed that Xu Nian had time to listen to Meng Chao's report, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

………

In addition to sales and sales, Meng Chao focused on another thing that is a bit 'unrelated'.

As early as noon on the 26th New York time, at 0:00 on the 27th of China time, the official website of the 'X' brand was finally opened to the world.

And, suddenly, it was opened to sales in China alone, and a hot topic was specially marketed separately.

There was a limit of 1 piece per person per piece of clothing, and only 8 minutes of sales were opened, and then sales were closed.

These 8 minutes also include the time to register an account, but interested New Year's fans and New Year's Black have registered accounts in advance during marketing.

Whether it is a shirt or pants, the uniform price is 299 yuan. The total number of orders was 21,239......

Hearing the pricing and final sales, Xu Nian finally interjected and interrupted: "Didn't you say that you won't cut domestic fans?" ”

"It's to bring water." Saying that, Meng Chao became a little proud, "With agents like Tianyue and me, you can steal the fun." ”

"As early as when we were marketing the 'X' brand in North America, we paid attention to the movements of domestic fans and maintained and appeased them......

When the pre-sale results were very good, we specially increased the production capacity and prepared a batch of ...... for the domestic market

Then we can complete today's operation of ending water, otherwise there will be dissatisfaction in public opinion, and the ridicule of New Year's powder cannot be harvested. ”

Xu Nian: "......"

He looked at Meng Chao: "You mean, both Nian Fan and Nian Hei know that 'X' is cutting leeks, and they don't have any idea about 'X', but passers-by ridicule them for not being harvested, so you arranged to cut leeks?" ”

Meng Chao hurriedly replied: "Although the result is almost like this, there are actually other arrangements. ”

"It mainly takes into account the huge size of the total group of New Year's fans, as well as the inevitable herd and follow-up nature......

At first, many fans were really indifferent, after all, most of them didn't even buy albums, let alone this kind of operation of Ka leeks;

But after passers-by were uneven, they even had a little intention of putting bad old fans, and from the data level, they couldn't wait for the preparation of domestic fan activities to break out, so while appeasing that there would be domestic sales not to be cross-border leeks, such arrangements were made. ”

After saying this, Meng Chao mentioned: "Of course, the sales pricing that is ten times the cost of mass production will definitely cooperate with the event." ”

"Therefore, it is expected that the ticket price of the domestic fan meeting to be held in September starts at 399 yuan, and fans who have purchased 'X' and "Wu Bai" at the same time will get a preferential right to buy tickets, with the price starting at 199 yuan."

After listening, Xu Nian sighed: "The Internet is very bad, it is easy for people to follow the clouds, and subjectively I don't want to cut leeks." ”

"I really don't understand what to buy for a trendy brand that I can't play with my eight poles, and the bright cutting of North American leeks will also be envied."

In this regard, Meng Chao had no choice but to spread his hands: "So you are not a star chaser." ”

Seeing this, Xu Nian turned his mind and asked a key point: "Has the company started to brew activities?" ”

Meng Chao replied: "After a few more hours of dawn in China, I will share the event schedule with domestic fans through your Weibo." ”

So, Xu Nian didn't say anything more.

In short, no matter what, the result is already like this, and the compensation through follow-up activities can be regarded as barely making up for it.

Subjectively, Xu Nian doesn't really care much about the number of New Year's fans and New Year's black, and he doesn't care about being easily led to rhythm and then turning black.

He himself will take the initiative to operate from time to time, making the fans' tone more inclined to the bad style of the Chinese people.

Don't expect anything from him, lest your expectations be too high, inconsistent with reality, and sad.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the operation of the tide brand, he really did not think about the matter of ending water at all.

Besides, it's not realistic to expect him to think about such a detailed thing with a mess.

Compared with this, Xu Nian is more concerned about whether to cut the fans as leeks.

The main thing is that he is also a layman, more selfish, and he doesn't want to be picked up and scolded after he retires in the future.

Here in North America...... Across the Pacific Ocean, the scolding should not be able to reach the country.

Mainly for the North American box office of Tang Detective 2, the sacrifice point is sacrificed.

As for the fan meeting in September, Xu Nian is of course aware.

As early as when discussing the choice of North American leek, Meng Chao mentioned the possibility of a fan meeting.

It's not very realistic in North America.

The feeling of daydreaming.

But it is very realistic to hold it in China, and it can be arranged properly with Tianyue's ability.

For example, the real-name system of one person, one certificate will also eliminate scalpers from the root, and sell tickets directly through the 'Everyday Yueting' platform.

This is indeed a serious fan feedback benefit, and Xu Nian naturally has no opinion.

After all, he relied on fans to mix a bowl of rice to eat.

The ticket price starting from 399 yuan is the floor pricing standard for the domestic entertainment fan meeting.

Depending on the venue, there will be a handful of seats that are more expensive.

Anyway, compared with other unknown stars, the starting price is 499, 599 or even 1000+, which is indeed a conscience.

It is also because of the arrangement of this fan meeting that Xu Nian will not pay attention to the problem of Duanshui at all.

Of course, it is inseparable from the fact that he fully believes in Tianyue's ability, after all, he has not been disappointed in the past year or so.

…………

That night, when Xu Nian returned to the hotel, the topic of '#徐年粉丝见面会' had already landed on the front page of the whole domestic network.

Tianyue basically only did one thing.

Through Xu Nian's Weibo, he separately updated a news to China.

The general content is:

"The first fan meeting will be held on September 9th, with tickets of 399 yuan, among which fans who have purchased 'X' and "Wu Bai" will receive discounts......"

Of course, the wording is more elegant, so that Nian Fan and Nian Hei know at a glance that it is not Xu Nianfa.

However, everyone's focus is obviously not on this small detail, but on the fan meeting.

Countless conversations are crammed into related topics.

This time, the old fans who have gradually become annualized finally have a fierce statement:

"I'm happy to have a fan meeting, but I still want to say ...... You don't have to follow the crowd to chase stars, the biggest meaning of chasing stars is to become a better version of yourself, there is nothing more important than this. ”

"Yes, the movements in the past few days are very wrong, I personally think that if you know more about our family Xu Nian, you can understand that Fan Xu Nian is not competing to compare whether he has been cut or not."

"In the past and now, Xu Nian is a very good person, with the way we expect to live, not perfunctory in public activities, with the best mental state, and never shy away from making a private move. Many fans and I have been yearning for this kind of life and are working hard for it, and this year's harvest is also very good. If you can't find this, you can try to quit star-chasing. ”

"You are not interested in a digital album for 8 yuan, and you are not allowed to buy clothes in the North American market that are priced at $99, and you laugh at yourself for not being cut. Aren't you happy if you don't cut it? I have the impression that the New Year's fans are not like this, they only support what they should support, and the rest are watching. ”

"I just want to say that all star chasers should become a better version of themselves, no matter who they are fans of, if they are not willing to be cut, they will be a little deeper than others."

"The tonality of New Year's fans is whether there are fans and idols to be chic and rotten. Learn from me, buddy, I don't buy 'X', I really want to be nice to myself and want to be a leek, you can buy products of the Xu Dynasty Yan brand, Dalap, Kiton, not Philippe, I don't regret buying it. ”

“……”

Many of them are long reviews, with a clear 'hate of iron does not make steel' style of preaching.

It's a kind of 'counterattack' of aged powder.

None of them wanted the original fun atmosphere to be ruined.

I want to maintain that comfortable attitude of being indifferent to everything.

Because it's also a difference.

It's also a more interesting comparison.

If you are a human being, you can't avoid comparison, since it's all comparison, choose the more interesting one, and don't make mistakes.

They don't want the new New Year's fans, and the swaying New Year's fans that are easy to be rhythmic, tend to the public.

They are worried that this will force Xu Nian to make changes, because as a top stream, they obviously have to consider the direction of the market.

In short, the afterglow brought by the first sale of the 'X' trendy brand is beyond imagination......

………

In all kinds of discussions, the long comments of New Year's fans are somewhat unique, and once again gave the domestic Internet a great shock.

made many passers-by and melon-eating people start some kind of reflection.

Then there was some debate.

It's a bit intense.

The range of the ripples is also very interesting.

In the end, Nian Hei ended all the discussion with a paragraph:

"You are arguing so fiercely, doesn't it mean that there is nothing wrong with what the New Year fans say, and they have all become a rabble of people?"

Another paragraph made all the participants in the discussion fall into a state of defense:

"Have you ever thought about a possibility, the reason why we are black fans is because we really can't beat the fans, although we are invincible in domestic entertainment with a little shot."

Passerby: "......"

Melon-eating masses: "......"

Kuroko: "......"

There's really no way to refute it.

Of course, in this wave of afterglow, it was the domestic entertainment stars who felt the biggest shock.

In the past, all kinds of discussions on the Internet always made them mistakenly think that Nian Hei was the New Year's powder.

It's these people who are too good at playing, and they pretend to be black fans to do the operation.

And their combat effectiveness is very exaggerated.

In the incident of Zong Peng and Lu Tao at the beginning, Nian Heizhen only made a slight move and directly suppressed it.

collapsed Lu Tao's fans.

But some of the data that can be collected by all means shows that the support of the New Year is indeed not as good as that of the New Year's fans.

Like album sales, the support of the young man can account for about 30%, which is very exaggerated.

The support of New Year's fans can account for 50%! And all are relatively silent.

The remaining 20% or so are supported by passers-by.

Therefore, Xu Nian once publicly stated that sales below 70 million are moisture data.

Now, this misunderstanding has been directly dispelled.

The domestic entertainment stars all understand, no wonder Nian Hei has always dared to go outside to support others to show their strength.

It's really a bit ferocious about the ability of New Year's fans to break defenses.

You must know that this part of the show is only relatively uncomfortable, and it only briefly compares the meaning of star-chasing and the harvest of star-chasing.

What's even more defense-breaking is ...... There are a lot of people who have a lot of real savings among the New Year's fans.

Although it is not as much as 30 million in 8 figures, there are really not a few 7-figure deposits.

Not to mention those rich second-generation fans who are even a little well-known, they often charter the venue and invite the whole city to watch movies.

Blame the Ha people.

In short, he seriously told other star chasers what it means to be a fan idol in the true sense.

It's not that I feel sorry for Giegie, it's not that I can't be a leek.

Instead, they all live like Xu Nian's comfortable appearance.

can only hold a little bit of money in his hand and lie down like that.

Thereupon......

Xu Nian's Weibo fans have fluctuated greatly, and the total number of domestic fans has dropped from about 55 million to around 50 million.

However, the total number of fans has not changed much, still around 75 million.

After all, there are several teams to help Xu Nian carry out long-term marketing activities in North America~

…………

…………

As the time entered July, the filming atmosphere of Tang Detective 2 crew began to become more tense.

It can almost be said that there are heavyweight scenes filmed every day.

There are also some actors whose roles have been completed.

For example, Neon's actor's role.

Including Huang Zhongqiang, who plays Lu Guofu, his role has also been completed.

What's more interesting is that I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Shao Manning just had two or three scenes left to shoot.

Considering that Xu is the absolute honorary first assistant director of the crew, everyone feels that there must be something boring in this.

But on set, almost everyone didn't have time to think about it.

Whether it is the chief director, the action director, or the local director who cooperates, they all feel a lot of pressure.

For example, right now, it's a scene of stripping naked on the streets of Madison.

It is the second largest sacrifice scene since Xu Nian's career.

The last time I didn't appear on the camera without a shirt was in the beach scene in my ex.

This time it was naked on a busy street in Manhattan, New York, which is very well-known.

The challenge is not that God is not beautiful, but that Xu Nian has been too popular in New York recently.

It's a bit unspeakable that he's so bare-chested...... Unknown Risks.

So much so that a total of four or five security teams invited by many parties were stationed to keep an eye on them.

For fear that after the field was cleared, there would still be desperate star-chasing players who rushed up directly and hugged Xu Nian and gnawed.

As the facts show, this is very necessary.

Because when filming officially started, this famous advertising street fell directly into madness.

Countless people shouted.

Fortunately, Xu Nian is very natural in terms of natural color, and it is Lin Shu who plays the scene, and the filming is very smooth.

Fortunately, the last one has passed.

Li Cheng almost gave Xu Nian and Lin Shu a knock in public, but it was too difficult to coordinate this kind of venue.

Almost only this period of time.

It's gone.

So to speak...... It is precisely because of the difficulty in venue coordination that Li Cheng is confident that filming will start at the end of May and be released on the eleventh.

Because the total shooting period was stuck within 50 days. ①

It can be compressed, but it must not be exceeded.

Otherwise, it would have been a matter of waiting for many more months to get started, because the actual preparations began after the release of Tang Detective 1.

But......

Everyone still saw Li Cheng's scene of knocking in public.

After an important scene that required special effects, Lin Shu, Yang Xiao, and Xu Nian made a 360-degree circle in the car.

For the best results, the short lens turns for a long, long time.

How long?

Lin Shu, a dedicated veteran actor, vomited five times, sometimes stopped, got out of the car and collapsed directly on the ground.

Yang Xiao is not much better.

Xu Nian...... Xu Nian is not iron-clad, of course it is the same, but he knows that the difficulty of this scene is beyond the standard, and he just drinks water and does not eat.

This method is not necessarily universal, but for him personally, it reduces the pain to a certain extent.

"Brothers have worked hard, I'll knock one for my brothers." Li Cheng smiled all over his face and went straight to the end.

As a director, he has experienced it half a time when he gets in the car, and his face is green when he gets out of the car.

I feel the pain very much.

………

On July 7, New York time, Americaka's role was basically completed, and only a few simple scenes remained.

As a director, Li Cheng left the crew and took some people to return to China directly.

The executive director and assistant director are finally in place.

But...... It's a pity that there is an honorary first assistant director on their heads.

Although, the executive director is still very satisfied.

After all, Master Xu needs to cooperate.

Because now what is left is a small part of Xu Nian and Lin Shu's scenes in New York.

It is precisely because there are almost only two excellent actors, Lin Shu and Xu Nian, that Li Cheng dared to return to China ahead of schedule with confidence.

to prepare for a small number of scenes in China.

and went to the scene to supervise the post-production of special effects that started almost simultaneously.

After filming another scene, the atmosphere of the crew has become particularly relaxed.

Even Xu Nian began to joke with the executive director: "Brother, let me say, we will directly seize power when we go back." ”

"He Li Cheng has some hooks, he doesn't know who he is after eating foreign fast food for two days, and he looks down on the Tang Detective series."

"Let him die in the literary film."

The executive director couldn't help shaking his head, sighing and saying: "Who said it wasn't, if he could make a literary film, would he still be here?" ”

"It's not because I can't shoot it, I don't know what to say."

Xu Nian immediately arched the fire: "So you should be on top, this kid is not a person at all, he is reluctant to spend money and squeeze us!" ”

At this moment, Lin Shu couldn't help but interject from the side: "It's such a reason, overthrow Li, just today!" ”

The executive director nodded violently, very moved: "Yes, yes, if you two support me......"

"Forget it, I can't get investment."

“……”

After the joke, a new scene was filmed, and a few hours later, the New York scene was completely completed.

This also means that Xu Nian's trip to New York is coming to an end.

………

However, until now, Xu Nian's side has still not been able to figure out the intentions of the stars in Laihaowu.

Although the parties had left New York the next day, they still kept in touch.

It's just that there is a large euphemism in communication.

Probably because Xu Nian's interests are considered to be open, all parties in Laihaowu have more room to slowly probe it.

to achieve the best interests.

Fortunately, Xu Nian knows how to put aside the things that he can't figure out for the time being, so as not to increase his anxiety.

I also fully believe that Tianyue will and other parties figure out the flow of interests behind it.

On the morning of the 8th, the 'X' North American Brand Pavilion was once again open for sale.

In a minute or two, it was sold out again.

It was just a simple matter of emptying the newly accumulated stock of thousands of pieces.

The overall sales strategy is simple.

It is open from time to time to remind fans and gather popularity for a long time.

At the same time that all the products in the 'X' brand pavilion were sold out, Xu Nian, Meng Chao and others also boarded the plane back to China.

…………

At around 3 p.m. on July 9, Chinese time, Xu Nian returned to the imperial capital on a private flight Boeing 787.

Before getting off the plane, Meng Chao received relevant information.

Li Cheng eagerly expressed his hope that Xu Nian would come out of the terminal and leave directly from the tarmac without going to the business jet building.

After hearing Meng Chao's explanation, Xu Nian nodded clearly: "Oh...... Make up a scene, okay. ”

So Xu Nian and his entourage just walked out of the arrival hall in a low-key manner, and Li Chengli greeted him: "Second uncle, this way." ”

I was quickly directed to the international flight departure hall.

You can see that this side has been clearly set up.

Then Li Chengyi waved his hand: "Second uncle, this is a sub-shot, get ready, start filming immediately." ”

Xu Nian: "Okay. ”

He had no problem with that.

It's just a change of venue, and it's been filmed like this in the past.

After a few glances at the sub-shot, Xu Nian changed into the coat prepared by the costume team earlier, took the props and started to play.

Straight into the shooting state.

In less than a minute, the shooting ended.

Li Cheng applauded first: "It has to be the second master, the journey is tiring, and when you get off the plane, you still enter the state directly, and you can pass it one by one." ”

Xu Nian: "......"

How to say this scene, it was arranged a long time ago, and it should have been filmed at JFK Airport.

But Xu Nian delayed entering the group at the beginning, and Li Cheng didn't coordinate anymore, and now he is just taking advantage of the situation to make up for it.

The effect Li Cheng saw from the monitor was much more perfect than he imagined.

Because Xu Nian really has just been on the plane for more than 15 hours, he can really see that tiredness.

You don't need to wear makeup.

Not to mention that Xu Nian and the crew had to go to the airport again, and the venue was borrowed at one time.

The main one is to save time and cost, save modeling cost, and save such and such costs~
