The period of a movie's popularity is also its promotional period.
Especially for "Rural Teachers" which has become widely known, not to mention that the first batch of theater distribution has arrived at Wei's, corresponding publicity has also begun to be organized.
In this regard, Lu Kaiming, Zhou Wei and others, who were completely slapped in the face, remained silent this time. Now Wei Mingjie is the only one in the group who makes a lot of money. Even if he doesn't use public accounts, as long as he takes out some money as a bonus for participating in the "Rural Teachers" project, it will be enough to ensure the cooperation and work enthusiasm of all departments.
Yang Xingyuan also jumped from an extra who could not appear in the subtitles of film and television works to a star who receives invitations to events.
But before that, Wei Lan reminded him and advised him not to participate in any small business activities, and that he should just participate in some movie promotion activities with Su Yining during this period.
It's not that Wei Lan wants to prevent Yang Xingyuan from making money, but in the entertainment industry, things like "star status" and "business level" are real.
Although Yang Xingyuan thinks that he is an unknown newcomer, he actually made his debut as the leading actor in a movie that grossed over 100 million yuan. For a newcomer, this is actually the starting point of the peak.
In the film and television industry, there has always been a discrimination chain of commercial value, where variety show stars have a lower status than singers and TV stars, and TV stars are lower than movie stars. This is true in most cases, except for the very few people who are at the top of the industry.
There are also some unwritten rules when it comes to celebrities' commercial activities such as accepting advertisements and endorsing events. It is basically not advocating for multiple products of the same type. For some relatively special products, celebrities generally have to choose them carefully.
Otherwise, if you take on a toilet cleaner advertisement one step, and then a famous watch and suit company wants you to be its spokesperson the next step, but after seeing the toilet cleaner advertisement you shot before, which company that cares about its brand image will still hire you?
This is also the reason why Wei Lan asked Yang Xingyuan not to accept any activities for the time being. Once he signs a suitable agent, someone will naturally plan these things for him.
Therefore, even though Yang Xingyuan received many invitations for commercial performances and advertisements from Wei's public relations department during this period, he did not accept any of them and only participated in some promotional activities related to movies.
This kind of occasion made him a little uncomfortable at first, but it must be said that he is a very talented and hardworking actor. He quickly adjusted himself, paying attention to adjusting his facial expressions and staying humble and polite.
By the time Yang Xingyuan and Su Yining attended a charity event, he was already able to chat and laugh freely in front of the flash cameras.
Su Yining has always been the queen of topics. As soon as she appears, she is surrounded by reporters' microphones.
Reporter A: "After winning the Golden Raspberry Award last time, what motivated you to participate in "Rural Teacher"? Did you think that this movie would achieve the current results?"
Although there was pain in his words, Su Yining still kept smiling this time: "This is a good movie. I am not surprised at all that it has achieved the current results."
The agent standing behind her breathed a sigh of relief.
Reporter B: "Have you met Li Tongtong before? What do you think of her performance in Star Wars?"
Su Yining tilted his head slightly: "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it."
The reporters' eyes lit up.
Not only the reporters on the scene, but also the audience watching the live broadcast started to comment:
'It's started. It's started.'
'It's time for my favorite laning phase again'
'I watch this live broadcast just to watch Su Yining's interview, and it never disappoints me'
Su Yining has always had a bad relationship with the media. When asked questions that make her uncomfortable, she will just retort. Su Yining herself doesn't care how the media press releases are written, so there are few good words about her from the media.
But this kind of conflict effect is also a hot topic. In order to pursue traffic, the media likes to interview her in such a provocative way. As a result, even though they know that they can't get any good words from her, there will always be media that will come to her one after another. After being criticized after the interview, they will continue to write negative materials about her, forming such a vicious cycle...
After watching it so many times, the audience even edited out many famous scenes, and as a result, she gained a lot of fans inexplicably, but of course her haters also hated her even more.
Reporter C: "Do you think your performance in this movie is better than hers?"
Su Yining was full of confusion: "It's not good to compare the leading actress with the supporting actress, right?" At this point, she seemed to have thought of something and explained: "I don't mean to say that the supporting actress is not good."
The trouble-making reporter was stunned by her answer and was speechless for a while.
The live broadcast barrage was suddenly filled with laughter.
"I am dying of laughter. Who is it? Who taught her to be so sarcastic?"
'I declare that Ning Bao is the winner in this match!'
"The agent started covering his face! It started!"
Sure enough, the agent standing behind Su Yining pushed his glasses helplessly and said that this young lady had finally matured this time. He didn't expect that these reporters would start trouble again once they provoked her.
Yang Xingyuan, who was standing nearby and had little presence, was stunned. He had participated in some promotional activities with He Zixuan and others before. The reporters only asked some movie-related questions during the interviews, and the atmosphere was very friendly. He had never seen such a scene with sparks flying and back and forth like with Su Yining.
After a few rounds of fighting, a reporter directed the fight to Yang Xingyuan who was standing next to him.
"Is this the male lead of "Rural Teacher"? "
Yang Xingyuan smiled modestly and nodded.
A reporter looked at his image and said jokingly, "You and Miss Su are the male and female protagonists. Do you think your looks match? I think it's like a fairy tale... Beauty and the Beast?"
This sentence not only mocked the male lead's poor appearance, but also mocked Su Yining for acting opposite an ordinary-looking male actor as the female lead, especially since her last movie that won the Golden Raspberry Award was opposite a popular actor with good looks.
This reporter obviously has not watched "Rural Teacher" and does not understand the plot, so he mistakenly thought that this movie is of the conventional type and that the male and female protagonists have a romantic relationship.
The audiences who have seen the movie in the comments can no longer watch it.
The war between Su Yining and the media is a long-standing feud. It has become a habit now. When a conflict occurs, no one cares who is right or wrong. No matter how much trouble there is, Su Yining's character will not change, and the media will still go to her to cause trouble.
But it is too much to drag the flames of war to the male protagonist, especially since the male protagonist is the most crucial and admirable soul figure in this movie.
"How can this reporter talk like that? How can he be so venomous and put it on the male lead."
"Watch the movie carefully! There is no romance between the male and female protagonists in this movie, and they never even meet from beginning to end."
'This really exposes my ignorance. Do you know what role the male lead plays in the film? '
In the barrage, the audience who have watched "Rural Teachers" are all blaming the reporter. Even though Yang Xingyuan is not good-looking, he is very popular among the public for playing the role of Teacher Li.
Su Yining, who was at the scene, raised his eyebrows when he heard this and was about to lose his temper.
Su Yining does have many flaws in her character, arrogance being one of them. The people she can look at in the eye are either those who are better looking than her, or those she thinks are better and more capable than her. In Su Yining's eyes, Yang Xingyuan and Wei Lan are the latter. As for those who are not as good-looking as her and have no ability... why should she even look at them?
Su Yining was about to speak, but Yang Xingyuan smiled and spoke first: "I think they are a good match."
He glanced at Su Yining next to him. Su Yining was 1.65 meters tall, and when she put on high heels, she was almost the same height as Yang Xingyuan.
"First of all, our heights match well. Miss Su is a beauty at this height, and I am a handsome guy at this height."
The reporter's question was not easy to answer. If she denied it, she would seem angry and embarrassed. If she followed the reporter's question and admitted that she was a "beast", she would be degrading herself, and it would also be embarrassing for Su Yining, the heroine of the movie.
Yang Xingyuan's words not only avoided making the situation awkward, but also praised Su Yining. He himself was neither humble nor arrogant, and resolved the problem humorously.
'It's bright, it's bright, the handsome agent's eyes are bright.'
'The male lead has a very high EQ! The agent seemed to have seen a savior!'
After saying this, the atmosphere calmed down again, and the agent promptly ended the interview session. After promoting the movie, the two of them entered the event hall.
After this event, Yang Xingyuan's fame spread slightly.
It is worth mentioning that every time there is an event, Su Yining's agent will always ask Yang Xingyuan about the schedule and whether he is free to participate in the event with Su Yining...
By the fourth week of the movie's screening, it was indeed postponed. Due to the hot box office, the screening time of "The Rural Teacher" and "Star Wars" was extended by another two weeks.
It’s already the end of March, in the fourth week of this movie’s release.
April is the film awards season in this world.
The Golden Tripod Award, the most important and prestigious award in the film industry, is held in April every year.
On March 31st, the nominations for that year's Golden Tripod Awards were announced by the Golden Tripod Award selection committee.
The blockbuster "Star Wars" of the year was nominated for five major awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Visual Effects, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
But the film was not the biggest winner of this awards season.
"The Rural Teacher", which has received seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Score, and Best Editing, has become the biggest frontrunner for this year's Golden Tripod Awards!
