Chapter 806 Fanfan, please wait for us for two more minutes!
"Thank you all for coming out to support our new film."
On the other side of the Music Square, in the large supermarket activity center of Li Xiaodong's home, Lin Fan and Xia Yan were holding a movie roadshow with Zhou Xiang, Lu Bingyang and other friends.
In fact, logically speaking, Zhou Xiang and Lu Bingyang are the protagonists of this movie, and the focus of the roadshow should be on them.
Lin Fan and Xia Yan only made a cameo appearance in the movie, with their total screen time less than ten minutes, so there was really no need for them to participate in the roadshow.
But who can blame Zhou Xiang and Lu Bingyang, both of whom are complete newcomers in the film industry?
Zhou Xiang has gained a lot of fans recently through the second season of "The Yard I Long for" and the reputation he had accumulated before, but he is a newbie after all, and his box office appeal is almost non-existent.
Not to mention Lu Bingyang, who was born in a talent show and seriously wanted to transform into an actor after his debut, but his acting skills are really average. Although he had a cameo role in Lin Fan's movie before, he is not a pure newcomer, but he is not much better than Zhou Xiang.
Instead of relying solely on these two guys to promote the new movie, Lin Fan felt that it would be better for him to just shout it out on Super Blog!
So there is this strange phenomenon where the male and female protagonists sit on the bench, while the box office and popularity rely on guest actors to support the film.
There's nothing you can do about it, they're all your own kids, and the movie is your own movie too? Zhou Xiang and Lu Bingyang are also very self-aware, and don't think Lin Fan and Xia Yan stole their limelight at all. On the contrary, if it weren't for them, today's roadshow wouldn't even be as good as the roadshow of the bloody youth movie next door!
After all, they spent a lot of money to hire professional fans to support the show! Yang Hongxia would never do such a thing.
Before going on stage, Lin Fan comforted them: "Don't be nervous. There's nothing special about the roadshow. Just follow the host's instructions and follow the process. If fans praise you, just keep it up. If you encounter haters who curse you, just pretend you don't understand."
The other hosts will handle it, and if the host can’t handle it, there’s me.
Zhou Xiang looked calm: "Brother Fan, I'm not nervous. The fans who came today are all here for you and Sister Yanyan. They won't see me. I'll just sit aside and rub against your camera!"
Zhou Xiang knew very well that she was just a nobody. Even though she was the protagonist of the movie, she was not good enough in front of Lin Fan and Xia Yan.
The main force of publicity is Lin Fan and Xia Yan. Although Lu Bingyang and I are the protagonists, the role we can play in the roadshow is not much greater than that of the supporting roles. Whether the publicity effect is good or not depends entirely on Lin Fan and Xia Yan.
So, what are you nervous about? Not at all!
Lu Bingyang was even more amazing: "I can get some big shots in my first movie. I just need to stand there and take advantage of Brother Fan and Sister Yanyan. It's so cool!"
Lin Fan was disappointed: "What about your future?"
The two of them laughed and said nothing: What's the point of being successful? Aren't you happy with just hugging your thighs and winning? It must be said that Lin Fan's salty character has, to a large extent, subtly and imperceptibly, had a significant impact on the other partners in the studio.
As a result, one or two of them now have no ambition to make progress, and just want to cling to Lin Fan's thighs, let Lin Fan lead them, and win by doing nothing.
Lin Fan was speechless when the head of the publicity department came running over with sweat on his forehead: "Brother Fan, there are too many fans. The entire activity center can't accommodate them. The music square outside is also full of people. There are three layers of people inside and outside. Many fans with tickets can't get in!"
Yes, you need a ticket to enter today’s roadshow.
The main reason was that Lin Fan was worried that if admission was free, fans would crowd the activity center, so he decided to sell tickets officially and allow fans to enter with tickets.
But even so, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of fans - even without tickets, they still came to watch, maybe they could get lucky and see Panfan? As a result of too many people, the reserved entrance of the activity center was surrounded by fans. There was no need to worry about those who forced their way in without tickets, but fans with tickets who came late would not be able to squeeze in.
This is the trouble with having too many and too enthusiastic fans.
Lin Fan asked the staff to communicate with Li Xiaodong: "Use the broadcasting equipment to broadcast the roadshow on the big screen of the mall, so that fans inside the mall and on the music plaza outside the mall can see the specific event scene."
As for those fans who couldn't get in, Lin Fan could only ask the staff to barely clear an entrance passage. As for how to squeeze in, it all depended on the fans' own skills.
There's no way around it, it's just so inconvenient to come late.
The fans who arrived late were also full of resentment:
"What? It's all the fault of that crappy movie crew next door. They tricked us into going there for no reason and wasted our time! If I hadn't gone there, I would have squeezed in a long time ago!"
"What am I talking about? Who was the one who called us all over here and said that Fanfan was sending someone to pick up the fans? We all made a wasted trip!"
"Don't mention it. I don't know where the guy next door got the confidence from. He immediately recognized us and dragged us away without saying anything. I was so bewildered that I didn't even ask a single question and just followed him like a fool!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When we got there, we found that we didn't recognize any of the people who got off the special car or walked along the red carpet! It would be fine if we just made a wasted trip, but we wasted so much time, and now there are so many people crowded in the Music Plaza. If we want to check our tickets and enter the inner venue, we really need to use all kinds of tricks!
More importantly, the advertisement playing on the big screen on the outer wall of the mall was suddenly switched, and Lin Fan appeared on it: "Thank you all for coming to support our new movie!"
All of a sudden, all the fans watching in the square went crazy! "Ahhh! It's Fanfan!"
"Fanfan is so handsome!"
"We will definitely support your movie!"
The fans who arrived late and had tickets were even more anxious: "Hurry, hurry, the event is about to start! If we can't squeeze in, the entrance will be closed!"
"Hurry up and squeeze in!"
"Fanfan, wait for us for two more minutes!"
The music square was crowded with people, and everyone wanted to get closer. Even if they couldn't see Lin Fan in person, they could get closer to the big screen to watch the live broadcast of the event.
On the big screen, Lin Fan continued to say the opening words: "This movie is my first understanding of youth. It is ignorant and inexplicable, sweet and makes people cry when they think back on it. Of course, the most important thing is that this movie may also tell the story of one or a group of people among you."
