Chapter 284: I Can't Talk About It This Day!
When Chen Qi left Future Film and Television, it was already completely dark.
The contract they should have signed has been signed, and the details that should be discussed have been discussed.
Everything went smoothly and there were no objections.
After walking out of this office building, Chen Qi couldn't help but glance back, and then nodded with satisfaction.
He was in a good mood.
From today on, the control of the future film and television is in his hands.
Although its current venue is still rented, it doesn't matter.
Sooner or later, it will have its own building.
He didn't say the biggest and the strongest, he didn't play with it!
Feeling the evening breeze blowing slowly, Chen Qi looked up at the sky, and then took a taxi back to the rental room.
He doesn't care about any company information updates, all kinds of process matters, and other messy trivial matters.
Mr. Xu will handle it.
And he didn't rush to call Li Ya and them.
During this time, Mr. Xu had a lot of things to do, and it was not too late for him to sign a contract with them when he recruited some people to stabilize the foundation.
Otherwise, there is no relevant manpower, and the signing is idle.
Just now, Xu Bunian also asked curiously why he didn't sign Zuo Lanmu Wanqiu and others.
Speaking of these, Chen Qi was also a little crying and laughing.
This is considered his mistake.
Zuo Lan went offline early, and he was too busy to talk to her about these things at that time, and when he was done, she had already signed a contract with another company.
And Xie Ruolin and Mu Wanqiu and others have their own brokerage companies, and he can't sign them if he wants to......
......
The next day.
Morning.
Chen got up and went to Zhou Xiao's house to meet him.
Zhou Xiao is working on a publicity plan for "The Nameless".
Originally, this kind of plan should have been formulated by the production company or distribution company, like the director, the main creative staff, and everything just need to cooperate.
But because Xu Bunian had just entered the industry and didn't know much about this circle, and they didn't find a suitable distribution company, Zhou Xiao took over this matter in the end.
Originally, it was okay for them to wait a little longer, but Zhou Xiao couldn't wait.
He is now desperate to get the film out.
He desperately wants to turn over!
He couldn't wait for one more day.
It's been decadent for more than two years in front, and now that he finally has a chance, where can he still sit still?
Of course, he is responsible for the offline roadshow promotion.
That is, to take the actors to go to theaters, shopping malls and other places across the country to promote.
Things like online and other forms of publicity don't have much to do with him.
"It's not...... Is it done in the later stage?" Looking at the various publicity plans he worked out, Chen Qi was also a little dumbfounded.
Didn't Xu Bunian say that the movie was still in the post-production stage? Why did you start thinking about publicity so quickly?
"It's been done a long time ago, and the preliminary review has already passed. Zhou Xiao looked at him speechlessly.
As an investor, I don't even know the specific progress of the movie, which is really a bit excessive!
Chen Qi: "......"
He also remembered that the last time Mr. Xu told him about this movie was when "Latent" was in preparation. Now that even "Latent" has been filmed, it doesn't seem strange that the movie is finished in the later stage......
"Do you have a copy here?" Chen Qi changed the subject very bluntly.
Zhou Xiao picked up a laptop next to him, looked for files and entered passwords, and handed him the computer after half a minute of busy work.
"There's a rough cut of a semi-finished product here, the kind that hasn't been done in post-production, no color grading, and no subtitles, so if you want to watch it, just make do with it. ”
Chen Qi was not polite to him, and directly took it and sat down on the side.
Then he opened the movie and watched it.
Just by looking at the beginning, he unconsciously frowned and revealed an undisguised expression of disgust.
This kind of rough cut without post-production and no subtitles is really a little uncomfortable to watch.
It's really rough!
If he didn't want to see Zhou Xiao's true level, if he didn't want to see in advance what he made this movie like, he really couldn't bear it.
However, this dislike only lasted for a short time.
After just ten minutes, he was attracted by the plot.
Even though he had watched the original more than once, even if he already knew all the plots, he was still fascinated.
may be because Zhou Xiao has not seen the original version, but the difference between his remake and the original is quite big.
The biggest difference is the way it is expressed.
The same small plot, filmed by different directors, is expressed in a completely different way.
But what is amazing is that although the expression is different, the excitement is highly consistent!
All kinds of black humor were also vividly expressed by Zhou Xiao.
After watching the whole movie, Chen Qi was stupid and happy several times.
And during his entire viewing process, Zhou Xiao didn't even look at him.
He's been busy working on his own propaganda plan.
The production company and the distribution company are dragging their feet, and the whole publicity plan obviously wants him to lead the team to run all over the country.
Fortunately, he has some experience in this area, so he is not in a hurry.
The only thing he worries about now is money.
I don't know how much money Chen Qi can approve for him......
On the side, Chen Qi, who had already watched the movie, observed him quietly with a thoughtful expression.
In fact, he came here today not just to care about the progress of the movie.
He wanted to tie Zhou Xiao to death.
Especially after watching the whole film, he was even more determined to this idea.
This guy has something in his stomach!
Tied to death!
Must be tied up!
You can't let him run.
"Oh, it's past twelve o'clock, let's eat first. Chen Qi looked at the time, and he was also startled.
Zhou Xiao glanced up at him and said lightly: "I ordered takeout." ”
"......" Chen Qi looked at him with some amusement and asked, "When did it happen?"
"When you were still watching a movie. Zhou Xiao also looked at the time and said, "It's almost time to arrive now." ”
Chen Qi rolled his eyes angrily and sat back on the sofa.
He was a little emotional about Zhou Xiao's perfunctory attitude.
He's an investor, okay?
Just eat takeout?
This doesn't fit his current identity at all!
A local tyrant whose net worth has broken one billion yuan, accompany you to eat takeout?
What do you think?!
He decided that if the takeaway to be there was not enough to be hauled, he would overturn all his propaganda plans, so that he could have a good look at what human nature is!
Just as he was thinking so, the doorbell rang outside.
Zhou Xiao, who was writing something, glanced up at him, and the meaning was very clear.
Chen Qi: "......"
Overthrow!
His propaganda program must be overturned!
It's too much to use bean buns as dry food!
Reluctantly, he got up and opened the door, and he brought in two large bags of food.
There's fried chicken, burgers, and coke in it.
The standard fat house package, and it is also a big brand of fast food in the world!
You say it's hearty, it seems to feel like something is missing. But you have to say that it is not abundant, and it is meat everywhere......
Putting two large bags of lunch on the table, Chen Qi greeted Zhou Xiao and said, "Let's eat first, don't be busy, you can't get through that plan anyway!"
"???" Zhou Xiao, who was busy writing and drawing, raised his head violently and looked at him with a shocked expression, "What do you mean?"
"It's literal. Chen first took a sip of Bing Kole, and then said with a satisfied face: "You know, we have limited funds......
"......" Zhou Xiaoqiang endured it so that he didn't scold.
Limited on funds?
Do you dare to pull it a little more?
If you had said this kind of thing more than half a year ago, I would have believed it, and now you are embarrassed to tell me that there is limited funds?
Do you want face?!
Two phenomenal programs, a hit TV series, you told me that the funds are limited?
However, Zhou Xiao was not stupid, he quickly sensed something from Chen Qi's slightly smug and arrogant expression.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" he stopped, walked over and sat down across from him, and picked up a chicken leg and nibbled on it.
"Heh......"
Listening to Zhou Xiao's words, Chen Qi was immediately happy.
Good guy, he still saw through it?
Since he saw through it, he didn't hide it, and said directly: "I've already said hello to Beijing Satellite TV, and tomorrow you will go over and record a program." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiao, who was gnawing on the chicken legs, stiffened slightly.
Then, he looked at him with a very unkind look, and asked in disbelief: "That Zhou Zhou's "Dialogue"?"
"Hahaha......" Chen Qi laughed directly.
Guessed quite accurately!
"......" Listening to Chen Qi's indirect admission, Zhou Xiao's whole person was a little ungood.
He looked at Chen Qi without tears, and didn't say a word after a few turns.
Are you good at being a person?
Such a terrible show, you let me go?
Isn't it shameful enough to think I'm wrong?
Do you think I'm not being scolded badly enough?
"I'm not going!" he refused.
"It's for the promotion of the show, and you know, the show has a lot of ratings right now. ”
"Don't go. ”
"I'm not talking to you, we have an agreement in the contract, you have to cooperate with our publicity work unconditionally. ”
“......”
"Besides, the show isn't that scary, when the time comes, I'll say hello to Zhou Zhou and ask her some gentle questions, isn't it? ”
"......" Zhou Xiao looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes full of disdain.
Say hello?
Still ask a milder question?
I believe you, I'm a fool!
I thank you for not letting them ask more sharp things!
"Taking a step back, even if you ask a few sharp questions, it's not a big deal, isn't it just a big bad movie that has no box office and no reputation? ”
Zhou Xiao: "......"
He really endured it so that he didn't curse.
How much more?
Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?
Zhou Xiao was also drunk.
He knew that this guy was coming over for more than just watching a movie.
But even so, he didn't expect him to dig such a big hole for him!
"Dialogue"!
He knows that in this show, let alone being a guest on stage, just sitting in front of the TV and watching him sweat for those guests.
Those questions are really inhumane!
They really ripped off all the masks of hypocrisy!
As far as he knew, there were already a number of people who had overturned in this show.
If he wants to go, the movie in front of him that made investors lose a lot of money can't get around!
"I've already said hello to that side anyway, you have to go. "Seeing that the soft one doesn't seem to work, Chen Qi directly comes to the hard one.
Anyway, their contract did say that he had to cooperate with their propaganda work unconditionally.
You have to be trustworthy!
"......" Zhou Xiao sighed in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to hide this time.
"It's okay to go, but I have one condition. After a few seconds of silence, he said.
Say. ”
"You have to come with me. ”
"Ahem......" Chen Qi, who was drinking Bing Kole, was almost choked to death.
"You are now more famous than me, if you go together, the publicity effect will be at least ten times greater!" Zhou Xiao looked at him and said: "Anyway, you are also an investor in this movie, and it is justified for you to help promote it together." ”
"I'm not going!" Chen Qi shook his head directly.
Let him be on the "Dialogue" show?
No way!
This is a pit he dug for others, how can there be a reason to jump into it himself?
No way!
No way!
Seeing that Zhou Xiao wanted to say something more, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Don't think about going to the show, I won't go, but I can go with you to promote it when you are on the roadshow." ”
The corners of Zhou Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Really! at least two cities with you!" Chen Qi assured.
Zhou Xiao stared at him for a while, and after thinking about it quickly, he could only reluctantly agree.
Looking at Chen Qi's posture, last week's show will definitely not be able to escape.
But it's not too much of a loss to be able to pull him along to run a roadshow.
If he knew that Chen Qi had long been interested in such things as roadshows, I don't know what he would think......
After lunch, Chen Qi quietly sent a message to Wang Tai of Beijing Satellite TV, asking her to help arrange for Zhou Xiao to participate in the show tomorrow.
What has already said hello to Beijing Satellite TV or something, of course, is nonsense.
Zhou Xiaodu hasn't agreed yet, how dare he arrange it first?
Don't look at his posture just now that he won't stop until he reaches his goal, it's all an illusion!
If Zhou Xiao really didn't want to go, he couldn't really force him to go.
The result was a little surprising to him, and he didn't expect him to agree so easily.
It seems that he should also have ideas for this show!
Definitely!
Subsequently, Chen Qi also took a serious look at the roadshow plan formulated by Zhou Xiao.
He had never experienced this kind of propaganda, and he didn't see a reason for watching it for a long time.
"How effective is this propaganda?" he asked.
"It works pretty well. Zhou Xiao said, "Most of the roadshows like this go to the theater to promote, which is a kind of precise delivery." As long as the publicity is done well, there is a very good chance that it can convert the audience in the theater! Because they are people who like to watch movies in the first place. ”
Chen Qi looked at him, a little speechless and stopped, but after hesitating for a moment, he still whispered: "But you made a bad movie before, what if the audience sees that the director is you and backfires?"
Zhou Xiao: "......"
He felt like he couldn't talk about it that day!
