Chapter 65 Chapter 65

With Gu Xingshi's method, the filming progress in the following period was very gratifying.

As a director, Pei Zhuozhi was happy and happy every day.

Now when facing Bu Qianwei, he had to be very careful, and he dared not shout "321" or "action" randomly, for fear that she would suddenly change.

However, apart from this insignificant little trouble, the filming effect was very good.

Originally, Pei Zhuozhi planned to use special effects in this section, but after watching Bu Qianwei's performance, he gave up this idea.

When the acting skills have reached the level of Bu Qianwei, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false, any special effects are just superfluous.

With the filming progress more than halfway, Gu Xingshi has already begun to look for a publicity team to prepare for the subsequent publicity.

So, he left the crew again and returned to Beijing.

It's just that finding a publicity team looks simple, but the twists and turns involved in doing it are simply torture.

For film producers, the most enjoyable thing is guaranteed distribution, where the distribution company promises a certain amount of box office to the producer.

If the box office is lower than the promised amount, the distributor will bear the distribution expenses. Only when the box office is higher than the promised amount can the publicity expenses be obtained, and then the profits will be divided.

This distribution method is a guaranteed income for the producer, but it is a gamble for the distributor.

Generally, only big directors or good films that are vying for in the industry will receive this treatment.

When you look at the stars, you can only envy them.

After all, the cost of their film was not too high, and it was a horror film. In addition, the director and screenwriter were all newcomers, so the big distribution companies would not play with him at all.

He could only choose to hire a distributor, that is, to pay the distribution agency fee and find a distribution team to operate.

However, these distribution teams were of varying quality, and Gu Xingshi had not found a suitable one after searching for several days.

So, he could only put it aside for the time being and complete other work first.

For example, he accompanied Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin to a charity dinner.

This kind of charity dinner has always been a place to expand the social circle.

Gu Xingshi was holding a glass of champagne, mingling with the crowd. As he was chatting, he heard someone say that Wen Yue was here.

The crowd immediately whispered.

One of them had just returned to China and was surprised when he heard this: "Is this President Wen? Didn't I hear that he doesn't like to attend this kind of banquet?"

Another person next to him immediately elbowed him: "What year are you talking about? It's different now... Mainly because President Gu is here..."

"What?! Tell us what's going on!"

"It's like this... blah blah..."

Gu Xing, who heard all this not far away, said: "..."

It is said that rumors will be forgotten after only three days, why is this rumor so persistent? !

He was very depressed, and Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin on the side immediately looked serious.

The two looked at each other, and Cheng Xin immediately grabbed Gu Xingshi: "Mr. Gu!"

Gu Xingshi was almost scared by him: "What for?"

Cheng Xin only knew that his mission was to take Gu Xingshi away, but he couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so he thought quickly: "I... I want to go to the toilet!"

Gu Xingshi was puzzled: "Go if you want to, I'm not holding you back."

Cheng Xin: "That... I want you to accompany me."

Gu Xingshi: "?"

Facing Gu Xingshi Seeing the suspicious look from Meng Yuansheng, Meng Yuansheng calmly made up a reason for him: "Boss Gu, you also know how many people Ah Xin has offended with his mouth. He was locked in the toilet before. I think it would be safer for you to accompany him."

Gu Xingshi: "..."

Cheng Xin: "..."

Gu Xingshi looked at Cheng Xin with concern: "Really?"

Cheng Xin looked at the look Meng Yuansheng gave him and could only reply with frustration: "Yeah."

"Alas." Gu Xingshi said helplessly, "I have advised you to change this habit a long time ago. It's okay to be locked in the toilet, but what if you are beaten with a sack next time?"

Cheng Xin: "..."

He silently put this account on Wen Yue again.

But Gu Xingshi still accompanied him to the toilet.

As soon as the two of them left, Wen Yue walked in surrounded by the crowd.

He glanced around the scene, but did not see Gu Xingshi.

His eyes dimmed for a moment.

Since that day at the racecourse, he has never seen Gu Xingshi again. Every time he found a chance to see him, he would miss him for various reasons.

He thought that Gu Xingshi was avoiding him, but on WeChat, Gu Xingshi was the same as usual, with no difference.

Until last time, when he went to the set to visit, he finally found a chance to say a few words to Gu Xingshi, but was interrupted by Qin Wen who hurried over, and then took Gu Xingshi away. At

that moment, he realized that something was wrong.

After that, he tried again, and finally found out that the two of them couldn't meet because someone was blocking them, and the people blocking them were those artists of Gu Xingshi.

Oh no, now it's not just those four people, the whole of Le Shi is blocking them from meeting.

Wen Yue was almost laughing at their anger.

But no matter how angry he was, for the sake of Gu Xingshi's face, he couldn't do anything to them.

But he was not a person who would sit and wait for death. Now that he knew the reason, he naturally had a solution.

He walked straight to Meng Yuansheng.

Meng Yuansheng was surprised for a moment, but soon he put on a social smile: "Boss Wen."

Wen Yue looked calm, but hit the nail on the head: "Where did you hide Boss Gu again?"

Meng Yuansheng didn't expect him to be so straightforward, his expression changed slightly, and he tried to play dumb and change the subject.

However, Wen Yue didn't give him a chance at all. His aura was far beyond Meng Yuansheng's ability to resist, but he got the message out of him after just a few words.

"Toilet?" Wen Yue seemed to remember something, with a barely visible smile on his lips, "The place where you hide is exactly the same as your President Gu."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the toilet.

Meng Yuansheng was sweating profusely, and his face was very ugly.

In recent years, he has dealt with all kinds of people in the entertainment industry, and in the two years after his debut, he has gained a lot of experience. He can also handle those wealthy bosses with ease.

He thought it should be no problem to deal with Wen Yue, but he didn't expect Wen Yue to be so scary. He was defeated with just a look.

No wonder, even a powerful person like President Gu would be hurt so deeply by him.

Thinking of this, Meng Yuansheng's desire to protect Gu Xingshi became stronger.

At this time, Cheng Xin was squatting in the toilet with a sad face.

Gu Xingshi, who was outside the toilet, shouted helplessly: "Axin, are you okay?"

Cheng Xin stammered: "Well... well, I have diarrhea..."

Gu Xingshi: "..."

But he could only continue to wait for him outside with his arms folded.

Cheng Xin just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Meng Yuansheng sent him a message saying that Wen Yue came to the toilet.

Cheng Xin: "!!!"

He had to hold back the breath of relief halfway, and rushed out of the toilet to pull Gu Xingshi away.

Gu Xingshi frowned suddenly: "Are you not having diarrhea anymore?"

Cheng Xin: "I'm done!"

Gu Xingshi: "...Okay." After

he finished speaking, he was about to go back to the banquet hall, but was stopped by Cheng Xin again: "Mr. Gu, how about we go for a walk in the garden?"

Gu Xingshi refused him without hesitation: "It's winter, and the garden is bare. What's there to walk about? I'm not going."

Cheng Xin was choked up and could only bite the bullet and say: "There are too many people in the banquet hall. It's not convenient to talk about things..."

Gu Xingshi looked at him puzzledly: "Aren't you responsible for keeping your mouth shut in this kind of situation? What does talking about things have to do with you?"

Cheng Xin: "..."

At this moment, Wen Yue strode over.

Gu Xingshi was a little surprised: "Boss Wen?"

Cheng Xin, who was originally racking his brains to think of a reason, suddenly scurried in front of Gu Xingshi like a rabbit, standing between him and Wen Yue, and said: "Boss Wen, did you come to the bathroom in person?"

Gu Xingshi: "..."

Wen Yue: "..."

Cheng Xin wanted to sew his mouth shut after he finished speaking, but still said with a stiff upper lip: "You are so busy and still go to the bathroom in person, then we won't disturb you..."

After speaking, he was about to pull Gu Xingshi away.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yue said directly to Gu Xingshi: "Boss Gu, I came to see you on purpose. I heard that you are looking for a publicity agent recently?"

Gu Xingshi looked at him in surprise.

Wen Yue paused: "I just acquired a publicity and distribution company. I'm very optimistic about this movie. Maybe we can talk about it."

What does it mean to get a pillow just when you're sleepy?

Gu Xingshi was surprised and happy.

Apart from anything else, the investor of this movie is Wen Yue. He has his own publicity and distribution company. He can't cheat his boss's money!

So he kicked Cheng Xin away without hesitation and invited Wen Yue enthusiastically: "That's great, Mr. Wen, why don't we go for a walk in the garden? There are too many people in the banquet hall. It's not convenient to talk..."

Cheng Xin: "???"

Wen Yue glanced at Cheng Xin lightly and agreed happily: "Okay!"

Seeing the two of them leave together, Cheng Xin was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Ah ah ah ah ah!!!

Wen Yue, you green tea! ! !

-The

publicity and promotion company acquired by Wen Yue is called Yinlu, and the person in charge is called Yin Yong. After being acquired by a large company like Wen, he has always been ambitious and wants to make some achievements.

Therefore, when President Wen personally approached him and asked him to promote a movie and also proposed to guarantee the release, his first reaction was that this was a test from President Wen!

So he agreed without hesitation.

However, when he got the information about the film, Yin Yong was dumbfounded. A

low-cost horror film, a new director and a new screenwriter, a new male lead + a bad movie female lead.

What kind of debuff is this, the standard configuration of a bad movie! !

Is this a test? !

This is going to kill me! ! !

Yin Yong almost pulled out all his hair, and didn't know where to start.

But the contract had already been signed, so Yin Yong had no choice but to make an advance concept poster according to the previous publicity strategy.

It must be said that after the poster was made, he was really surprised.

Especially the poster of the male and female protagonists.

In the dim background, Qin Wen and Bu Qianwei each showed half of their faces and stared at each other.

The side profile made the perfect bone structure of the two people show, not to mention the emotional tension and storytelling of the two people.

Yin Yong's confidence came back a little, maybe... it's not that bad.

However, as the poster was put on the market, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves.

[Fuck! How desperate are the film crew to find Bu Qianwei as the female lead! ]

[It's so funny, with Bu Qianwei's acting skills, isn't she afraid of turning a horror movie into a comedy? 】

【It was painful to watch Bu Qianwei act on TV, I simply can't imagine how disastrous it would be on the big screen! 】

Bu Qianwei's fans are dissatisfied.

【They didn't even watch it, but they said Bu Bu's acting was bad. Obviously, Bu Bu performed very well on the poster! She was super beautiful!! 】

【Bu Bu said on Weibo that her acting skills have improved a lot, and the director is praising her! 】

【Anyway, I was looking forward to it after reading the poster. Although I am afraid of horror movies, for Bu Bu, I decided to drag my boyfriend to support it! 】

Anti-fan: 【This is the first time I see a poster used to prove good acting skills. Bengbu lives! 】

[Hahahaha, forget about fooling your buddies, but don't fool yourself! ]

[That's how 208 guys are, poor acting, unprofessional, the less they have, the more they market. I'll just say it directly, this movie is doomed! ]

...

For a while, the haters and fans were arguing with each other online.

The attention to the movie did go up, but except for Bu Qianwei's fans, most of the audience said that it was enough to just look at the poster and forget about going to the theater.

To make matters worse, this year's Golden Broom Awards were also announced at this time, and Bu Qianwei lived up to expectations and won the award for the third consecutive year.

The ridicule on the Internet suddenly became even more intense.

[Hahahaha, winning the Golden Broom Award for the third year, no one except Bu Qianwei has achieved this achievement, right? 】

【I saw the poster before and was a little curious. I thought I would go and see it. Maybe Bu Qianwei can act well this time. But now I give up. Isn't a movie ticket just money? 】

Yin Yong wanted to pull his hair again.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a workplace legend circulating within the group.

It is called "When you are in doubt, go to Old Sun."

It is said that there is a vice president named Sun in Tiancheng Video. Whenever you encounter something that you can't solve, you can go to him. If he is willing to give you advice, the matter will surely turn bad luck into good luck. Maybe you can even get a promotion and a raise.

Originally, Yin Yong didn't believe this kind of thing, but this legend was spread too widely. Even many department heads took the initiative to testify, which made Yin Yong begin to believe it.

And when he checked, he found that Mr. Sun was one of the persons in charge of the movie "The Door of Tricks", which made him even happier.

He immediately called Sun Hongfei, and when Sun Hongfei heard that he was the person in charge of publicity and promotion, he immediately became enthusiastic.

Yin Yong hesitantly told him about his predicament.

Who knew that after listening to him, Sun Hongfei said earnestly: "Xiao Yin, this is where you misunderstood President Wen!"

Yin Yong immediately listened attentively: "President Sun, please tell me."

Sun Hongfei: "President Wen is not testing you, he is giving you a great credit!"

Yin Yong: "...Ah?"

Sun Hongfei: "You should know who is the producer of this movie, right?"

"I know, it's President Gu of Le Shi." Yin Yong said, and then hesitated, "I heard that he and President Wen..."

"President Gu and President Wen definitely did not break up!!" Sun Hongfei blurted out, and then coughed lightly, "What I mean is, you can't just look at the surface of the leader's words, you have to think deeply!"

Yin Yong: "...Ah??"

"Why did Mr. Wen let our people do the distribution, and specifically said that he wanted to guarantee the distribution? Because he already knew how capable Mr. Gu was, and how well the film would be made, so he wanted to keep the money within the family. As for the guaranteed distribution... isn't it because he's afraid that you won't pay enough attention and ruin the film?"

"Mr. Wen, you're not just a love-minded person!!"

Yin Yong: "...Ah???"

Sun Hongfei thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you come to the set and take a look. Seeing it with your own eyes won't deceive you, right?"

Yin Yong hesitated for a moment, and soon agreed with gritted teeth.

When he got off the plane, Sun Hongfei came to pick him up in person. The two of them exchanged greetings warmly for a while before getting in the car.

However, when Yin Yong got in, he was shocked by the decoration in the car.

There was a huge eight-diagram plate hanging on the rearview mirror, and the interior of the car was covered with talismans. As soon as he sat down, he felt something hitting his butt, and then he pulled out a peach wood sword from under his butt. Yin Yong laughed dryly and said,

"Mr. Sun, you didn't drive the prop car out, did you?" "No, no." Sun Hongfei said nonchalantly while driving, "This is the director's car." Yin Yong: "......?" Although he hadn't entered the set yet, Yin Yong had already begun to have an ominous premonition. Sun Hongfei drove him all the way to the ghost village. The dilapidated village and the road exuding a gloomy atmosphere. Yin Yong was startled through the window, and then he became excited: "This real scene is great, this scene alone is scary enough, and we can use it as a promotional point." "Don't worry." Sun Hongfei smiled at him meaningfully, "You haven't seen the scariest thing in our crew yet!" Yin Yong: "..." At that moment, he felt that Sun Hongfei's smile turned cold, and he shuddered subconsciously. After getting off the car, Sun Hongfei took Yin Yong to see Pei Zhuozhi. Sun Hongfei asked familiarly, "Director Pei, which scene are we shooting today?" Pei Zhuozhi raised his head, his face pale under his hat, and said weakly, "We're shooting the scene where the heroine wants to kill the hero." Sun Hongfei said in surprise, "That's perfect." As he finished speaking, Bu Qianwei and Qin Wen, who had changed into their costumes, came over. Yin Yong had seen the two of them when they were shooting posters before. Needless to say, they were handsome and beautiful. Even if they were wearing such tattered costumes and wearing wounded makeup, it didn't affect their faces from shining in the night. Just as Yin Yong was admiring the two's appearance, Pei Zhuozhi quickly took out a cloak covered with talismans from under the stool and wrapped himself tightly. Other staff members also took out crosses, Guanyin jade pendants, garlic (? ) and other things. Even Sun Hongfei next to him was holding a statue of King Kong and muttering something. Yin Yong: “?” At this time, Bu Qianwei and Qin Wen had already stood in the filming position. After a brief adjustment, Pei Zhuozhi waved his hand: “321, action!” Yin Yong: “???” Wait a minute! Are we going to start filming right away? Don’t we need to rehearse the scenes first? ? But the next second, he saw Bu Qianwei’s body suddenly twisted into an incredible shape, with a strange sound coming out of his throat, and his ten fingers breaking through common sense, as if each finger was controlled by a different person and bent into an inhuman shape. Yin Yong: “!!!!”

What the hell is this!!!

This scene took five minutes to shoot, and Yin Yong's mind was blank for five minutes.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing? ?

When the last scene was finished, Pei Zhuozhi jumped up immediately: "Ka Ka Ka! Quick Ka Ka!"

As if to lift a spell, the originally distorted Bu Qianwei quickly returned to human form, and then jumped towards them: "Director Pei, how was my performance today? I just had a new idea, and I think I can perform it again..."

"All... all up to you."

Pei Zhuozhi wrapped his cloak a little tighter in a somewhat stiff manner.

Bu Qianwei's eyes swept over Yin Yong: "You are..."

Yin Yong immediately "thump thump thump" three steps back.

After retreating, he reacted and realized that this was too disrespectful.

A beauty like Bu Qianwei has never been humiliated like this before, and she would definitely lose her temper...

Just when he was thinking about how to apologize.

Who would have thought that Bu Qianwei not only did not lose her temper, but looked at him with surprise: "Do you also think that I acted very well in that scene just now?"

"Ah?" Yin Yong was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "It was really well acted!!" Bu Qianwei

went back satisfied.

Yin Yong was shocked.

Such a glamorous beauty, but performed in such a disregarded image in a horror movie, isn't this called professionalism? ! Isn't this called good acting? !

Yin Yong thought of the comments on the Internet, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Bu Qianwei!

Sun Hongfei on the side looked at him with a smile: "How is it? I was right, wasn't I?"

Yin Yong nodded vigorously and said confidently: "Mr. Sun, don't worry! I already know how to promote it!"

After returning to Beijing, Yin Yong quickly devoted himself to the promotion work. He took advantage of the previous battle between fans and haters to suppress the topic first and then promote it, and successfully raised the topic again.

This move is very risky, after all, it all depends on Bu Qianwei's acting skills.

If Bu Qianwei's acting skills improve after the movie is released, it will bring huge traffic to the movie and herself, but on the contrary, all these publicity will backfire on the movie.

For a while, people in the industry said that he was crazy, and even investors bet that Wen Yue would lose all his money this time.

Only Yin Yong, who had watched all the trailers, knew that this was a business that was sure to make money.

The only pity was that even if he tried his best, the popularity of this topic was gradually fading.

Yin Yong, who had just experienced a traffic frenzy, felt lost.

It would be great if there was a new topic that could take over this wave of popularity.

But then, he thought that he was simply daydreaming.

For general movie promotions, it was already a blessing from God to come across such a promotional point. He actually wanted another one, which was too greedy.

Yin Yong tried hard to adjust his attitude and prepare for the next wave of promotion.

Suddenly, his subordinates ran in: "Mr. Yin! Check out the hot searches!!"

Yin Yong clicked on the hot searches, and his head was buzzing.

#Feng Tingyun's new film debuts at the Heber Film Festival, Qin Wen wins Best Supporting Actor#

#After 12 years, a Chinese actor wins Best Supporting Actor again#

#Qin Wen stars in a new movie, looking forward to "The Door"#Yin

Yong: "!!!"

He didn't do anything, but all the attention just fell on his head? !

This is God thinking that he doesn't enjoy eating free rice, so he gave him a bowl of food, right? ! !

Yin Yong felt his breathing become rapid, and he quickly called Sun Hongfei: "Sun... President Sun, have you seen the trending searches?"

Sun Hongfei was very calm: "Yes."

Yin Yong: "I... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Calm down." Sun Hongfei said meaningfully, "I've already told you, you have to trust President Gu, everything is under his control."
