286. Teacher Xu, can you sing a song?
According to Xu Yi's plan, the preparation of the two movies "Wolf Warrior" and "The Wandering Earth" must definitely take more time for the latter. Including the production cycle and cost, the latter accounts for the most.
But in terms of ROI, maybe the former will be even higher.
However, the matter of science fiction movies has long been on Xu Yi's list.
Even if he doesn't make money, he wants to pay for his feelings.
The next day, the roadshow itinerary came to Pengcheng, a coastal international metropolis.
The roadshow arrangement is coordinated by the General Army Art Center, and professionals are responsible for logistics support, venue communication, and pre-publicity.
Pengcheng, in a shopping mall.
Perhaps the city itself is not big, and there are many people, and when I learned that there were celebrities coming, the mall was already crowded and overcrowded.
The host is a non-well-known professional host hired by a local event company.
"Hello everyone!"
"Hello friends on the scene! All are welcome! Today, a group of VIPs came to our Pengcheng, are you happy? ”
Onlookers: "Happy! ”
Even many people originally just went to a shopping mall, and they didn't know what was going on, and they shouted along with the joy.
The host is very good at warming up the scene, and with just a few words, he attracted many onlookers. I just heard her continue: "Everyone knows that the Chinese New Year stalls are coming soon. This year's Chinese New Year file will definitely be very good, but among all these films, I think this movie may be the one I am most looking forward to. ”
"Let's invite the main creative team of Operation Red Sea to appear!"
Director Lin Chaoxian led a group of leading actors, wearing uniform movie poster costumes, and walked onto the stage.
The host smiled and said:
"Director Lin, hello!"
"When Director Lin was on Hong Kong Island before, he had made a lot of this kind of police and bandit action movies, I don't know what is the difference between filming the movie Red Sea this time and before?"
Lin Chaoxian's Mandarin is not a special standard, but compared to many Hong Kong Island artists, it is already good. He took the microphone and said:
"Of course, of course it's different."
"There are a lot of big scenes this time, I used to make police movies, maybe there are more small scenes. For example, street fighting, hand-to-hand confrontation, etc., but this time we used drones, fleets, cruise ships, tanks, etc., and the scene will be very large. ”
"Wow~" Although the host has never watched the film, his professionalism is there, and he immediately praised: "It sounds very enthusiastic." Director Lin, can you tell us what kind of story the Red Sea is? ”
Lin Chaoxian glanced sideways at the leading actors, this question is actually the best to leave to Xu Yi.
However, this occasion is obviously not appropriate.
Xu Yi came to the roadshow as an actor, not a screenwriter.
Just listen to Lin Chao's dedication:
"This story is actually based on a real case of evacuation. Of course, some people may not know very well that many years ago, when there was chaos and order outside the country, if a large number of citizens of other countries gathered, there would be an evacuation of overseas Chinese. ”
"But evacuating overseas Chinese doesn't mean that you send a plane over and bring people back."
"Among them, there will be a lot of difficulties and dangers, even personal safety dangers, and it is very difficult for our soldiers to pick people up safely from real artillery fire."
Lin Chaoxian is a mature director, so naturally he will not spoil in advance.
What he said, everyone checked it on the Internet, and it is basically this kind of rhetoric, and it will not affect anything.
The host did not give up and asked:
"So, the movie Red Sea is about the story of the evacuation of overseas Chinese?"
"Then the hardships and obstacles you just talked about are also reflected in the movie?"
"Of course!" Lin Chaoxian nodded affirmatively, and added: "Of course, there is a manifestation, not only difficulties and obstacles, but even some sacrifices are inevitable. ”
"As for more information, I can't tell you."
"Everyone is welcome to come to the cinema and support our films."
The host was interested and did not continue to ask.
Instead, he set his sights on a group of leading actors.
She walked to Zhang Feng and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time~ I can finally see your work on the big screen again." I don't know what kind of opportunity it is to participate in the Red Sea this time? ”
Zhang Feng plays the captain of the commando team Yang Rui in the movie, and he is the absolute protagonist.
Moreover, he is also the most experienced and powerful actor in this group of leading actors, and he has acted in many TV and movies before, and he has accumulated a lot of reputation among passers-by.
"Opportunity ......"
"Actually, it's also fate, I was originally going to take a vacation for a while. Then I received a call from the crew, saying that there was a movie role, and it was none other than me, and asked me to go over and try the play. ”
"As you know, I was in the army for a while."
"It just so happened that this movie was about a soldier's movie, and after reading the script, I almost didn't hesitate and immediately agreed."
When the host heard this, he asked with a smile: "Did you agree to the salary without asking?" ”
The scene laughed.
Zhang Feng is worthy of being a senior and powerful faction, this kind of scene may have been seen before, and he answered it fluently at the moment:
"You have to know that the salary is easy to discuss, but good scripts are hard to find."
"I was really attracted and moved by the script, and I believe that if you have the opportunity to go into the cinema and watch this movie, you will not be disappointed."
Roadshows, they must all be desperate to promote movies.
I can't leave 'you guys go to the cinema' and I can't wait to give you two more movie tickets.
According to the planned time, "Operation Red Sea" will be screened a week later, and then it will not be officially released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Roadshows in advance are also routine operations, after all, it is also good to be able to lock in some heat in advance.
Over the years, the Chinese New Year stalls are all fairy fights.
Some family-friendly films and cartoons can naturally attract people to the cinema without even much promotion.
And movies like "Operation Red Sea" have a limited budget for publicity and distribution, and after these roadshows, it is estimated that there will be no other publicity and promotion. As for the final box office, it feels a bit resigned to fate.
The host still interacted with the leading actors on the field.
Finally, I finally got to Xu Yi's side: "Teacher Xu, hello! Among all the actors this time, Mr. Xu really surprised me. ”
Obviously, this host did the work in advance.
After getting the list of main creators, she immediately verified whether this Xu Yi was that Xu Yi.
Xu Yi's popularity, in recent times, should be the hottest one on the whole network.
Olympic champion, sued the main station, planned a variety show with The Voice, and a gold medal musician, no matter which of these identities you have, it is enough to send a person to the hot search, not to mention, Xu Yi is a person who has all these identities.
So the topic on him is naturally not ordinary.
However, Xu Yi acted in a movie?
This incident is indeed somewhat unexpected by many people.
"Can you ask Mr. Xu, how did you decide to become an actor?"
It's impolite to ask.
When Xu Yi debuted, his positioning was actually a little vague.
is neither a singer nor an actor, but he can't be completely said to be a variety show, he has dabbled in all aspects, but he has never had his own representative works.
Of course, there are masterpieces in music later.
In variety shows, he also has his own famous works.
Only the film and television sector has always been blank.
But you can't say that Xu Yi is not an actor because of this.
I only heard Xu Yi fight back: "If I am not mistaken, when I was in college, I studied acting." So becoming an actor is a natural thing, and there is nothing to make a sudden decision. ”
The host has a strong ability to respond to the scene, and immediately said:
"We all know that Mr. Xu, you are very good in music and variety shows."
"I don't know if you have any new experiences from participating in the movie this time?"
"Absolutely." Xu Yi didn't let go of the opportunity to show off his muscles, continued to fight back, and said with a smile: "It was only after I finished this movie that I found out that I was not only very good in music and variety shows, but also very good in acting." ”
Rumble~
These unashamed remarks immediately attracted laughter from the audience.
The host also seemed to feel Xu Yi's-for-tat, and didn't care, he had to have a bit of a topic to maximize the effect. She asked Lin Chaoxian:
"Director Lin, just now Mr. Xu praised his acting skills, I don't know what you think of Mr. Xu's acting skills?"
"I think Xu Yi is right!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Chaoxian's evaluation of Xu Yi was even higher than Xu Yi's own evaluation: "If I didn't know that this was his first time acting, I would have thought that this was an old drama bone from somewhere, very good!" ”
"Really, I'd love to go to the cinema right away."
The host said with a smile.
Among these people, Xu Yi's popularity is the highest.
There are also many topics.
Therefore, the host will inevitably be able to take Xu Yi alone.
She continued to ask: "Actually, everyone knows that in addition to being a singer and an actor, Mr. Xu is also a professional athlete. What I want to ask is, Mr. Xu, how did you do it when you have been involved in so many fields and have made unattainable results? ”
No level of questioning.
What else can be done, of course, is to do it freely.
Xu Yi remained silent and replied:
"When you say that, you're pulling hatred for me!"
"Actually, it's nothing, it's mainly a hobby. I'm very interested in these things, so naturally I will put more effort into it, and if I put in it, it will naturally pay off. ”
This answer made the host's fist of questions seem to hit cotton.
But she didn't give up, and changed the topic and continued to ask Xu Yi:
"Well, Mr. Xu is right."
"They all say that interest is the best teacher, but that's not true at all. But...... It's rare to see Mr. Xu in person today, and I know that the audience at the scene must have the same idea as me. ”
"That's ......"
"Teacher Xu, can you sing a song to everyone?"
Xu Yi: ???
I'm here to promote the movie today, and I didn't inform myself that there was a singing link.
You're a host, it's bad!
He frowned and looked at director Lin Chaoxian. Lin Chaoxian was also very confused, and looked at the crew who coordinated the roadshow, and the coordinators were even more confused.
Who dares to arrange Xu Yi to sing!
He is one of the investors in this movie, and he is a big guy!
Without Xu Yi's consent, no one dared to make such an arrangement.
Xu Yi saw that no one could answer his doubts, and the hundreds of spectators who were watching at the scene all looked at him expectantly. At this time, if you pick a pick, you will definitely carry a bad name.
However, how could Xu Yi fulfill the host's wish so easily?
I only heard Xu Yi say slowly: "Of course it's no problem to sing." However, I've heard that the presenters are generally very slippery. Otherwise, I'll say a tongue twister, and if you can follow along, I'll sing. ”
Tongue twisters are the basic skills of the host.
The hostess obviously didn't take it seriously, she just thought that Xu Yi wanted to increase the fun of the roadshow.
So I readily agreed.
Xu Yi did not hesitate, even when the exam questions came out:
"The stone chamber poet Shi Shi, lover lions, swears to eat ten lions. The city is always in the right place. Ten o'clock, suitable for ten lions suitable for the city. It's the right time, the right city. The clan regarded it as ten lions, and the arrow was powerful, so that the ten lions died. The clan is the corpse of ten lions, suitable for the stone room. The stone room is wet, and the family makes the room to be wiped. The stone room swabbed, the first trial of the ten lion corpses, when eating, the first knowledge is the ten lion corpses, the real ten stone lion corpses. Trial release is a thing. ”
Moderator dumbfounded: ???
What is this?
What did you say?
Why do I seem to hear and I don't seem to hear anything?
After Xu Yi finished speaking, he deliberately said:
"If you can't follow along, you'll lose."
"Then singing is your punishment......
Good guy, not only did he fight against the other party's army, but he also threw the singing matter to the host. Either follow Xu Yi's example and read this tongue twister, or you will sing obediently.
Want Lao Tzu to sing?
There are no doors.
Did you spend the money and you just let me sing?
Don't you know that my singing is expensive?
The host tried to say: "Four is four, ten is ten......"
As soon as he spoke, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xu Yi:
"No, no, no, no."
"That's right, Shishi, the poet of the stone room, loves lions, and swears to eat ten lions. Did you hear me clearly? ”
This time, not only the host, but even the onlookers and melon-eating crowds unconsciously began to recite this tongue twister. It's just that there are no subtitles, and everyone doesn't know what this sentence means and which words it is, so it is extremely tongue-twisting to read.
The host tried several times and finally gave up.
Xu Yi gloated:
"Oh, then you're throwing in the towel."
"If you admit defeat, you have to sing, do you want to listen to our beautiful host?"
In terms of atmosphere, Xu Yi does not lose to the host at all.
An enthusiastic response broke out on the field.
Anyway, it's a big deal?
The host glanced at Xu Yi resentfully, and several other leading actors secretly gave Xu Yi a thumbs up.
Teacher Xu, good job!
The host is also open-minded, and even said: "Then I'll sing a song written by Mr. Xu, called "Red Beans", okay?" (End of chapter)
