A ray of morning sunshine shines on Wang Jiaming's face.
Then Wang Jiaming opened his eyes, washed up, made his bed and went downstairs.
Familiar streets, familiar people and familiar everything.
Nothing has changed, yet everything seems a little too much the same.
At this time of the day, he would normally turn into the alley and rummage through all sorts of things in the darkest corner, but now, he just paused briefly at the entrance of the alley, then turned around and looked at the other side where the sun was shining.
He no longer liked the dark.
He already had a vision of light.
He successfully quit drugs!
At this time, a figure with long flowing hair came into his sight in the distance...
When he saw the back of this person with long flowing hair, he suddenly felt his heart tighten and his breathing became slightly heavier.
"Wang, Wang!"
The big yellow dog barked and ran quickly towards the figure with long fluttering hair. The figure turned his head and looked at the big yellow dog in confusion, then raised his head to look at Wang Jiaming who was being led by the big yellow dog.
She laughed.
Wang Jiaming also laughed.
I plucked up the courage and walked up.
Everything is so beautiful under the sunshine.
A faint fragrance, a faint moment...
This scene is the final plot of "The Wanderer".
It is full of philosophy and thought-provoking.
“Crack!”
"Perfect, done!"
Fatty Wei shouted excitedly, and with Fatty Wei's shouting, everyone's tense hearts relaxed at this moment.
The warm sunshine shines on the land, adding a different color to it.
The film "Wanderer", which took more than three months to shoot, was finally officially wrapped up at this moment!
Lu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the film should have been completed long ago according to the original plan and it took ten days longer than originally planned, the ending was good after all.
Although it was over budget, it was not too much over budget.
So far, the film has cost a total of more than 6.5 million yuan, plus some post-production editing and correction costs, it will cost about 7 million yuan.
Although it is a considerable amount of money, at least Lu Yuan doesn't have to spend money everywhere.
At least……
You don’t need to mortgage your house to get a loan to make a movie.
This is very stable!
"call!"
"Ayuan, how about a wrap-up party tonight to celebrate?"
"Wrap-up banquet? Forget it."
"Why?"
"After the movie is released and the box office is known, we can hold a celebration party."
"good!"
Lu Yuan shook his head after seeing Fatty Wei's smile.
He smiled, but it looked a little tired.
His recent expenses have been quite high and now he just wants to save some money.
The previous company relocation really made Lu Yuan lose all his money. Moreover, he calculated that he had to pay the company employees' salaries every month and tens of thousands of dollars would be gone...
Tens of thousands of dollars a month, who can afford it?
If Lu Yuan doesn’t save some money on these messy things, he won’t be able to afford it.
He is still very short of money and still very poor!
If it weren't for some moral constraints, Lu Yuan would have gone so far as to take all the calligraphy and paintings, antiques and other things that others had given him to the market and sell them for money. Anyway, he didn't understand what these things were.
Just leave it there...
But if Lu Yuan really dares to do this, then Lu Yuan probably won’t be able to stay in the circle anymore. Not only will he no longer be able to stay in the circle, he won’t even have to stay in China.
Why?
He might be scolded to death, or at least rotten eggs would be thrown at him!
After all, is this something a human can do?
Lu Yuan felt that he at least had some respect and was a person of status!
How can you do this!
…
After the filming of the movie was completed, Lu Yuan felt like a huge weight had finally fallen off his shoulders.
Next, all matters such as review and editing will be left to Fatty Wei. Lu Yuan can't help at all and doesn't need to help.
As for the cinema chains, because of the support of "Buried", he no longer has to beg for help like before. So he just has to wait for the review to be completed and the relevant departments to give the OK stamp and agree to the release, then everything will be smooth sailing.
However, at the same time that Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, another string in his heart was slightly tense.
This matter is not over yet, there are still a lot of things to come...
Wang Long's new album is about to start printing, and he's going to start investing money in it again...
Then, once I contacted the manufacturer, okay...
The previous budget of 450,000 was totally insufficient and was just the price from previous years.
Now the prices have increased several times.
In other words, Lu Yuan is going to overspend again!
Lu Yuan, Wang Long, Wu Tingting and others discussed it and the total investment exceeded 600,000 yuan, and this did not include other expenses such as publicity costs.
Wang Long is not a well-known singer, and he has no other channels, so it is unrealistic to ask Wang Long to save costs, and he can only rely on external forces to help...
The first batch of albums sent to the factory for printing is expected to be 60,000 copies.
Sixty thousand tickets is simply child's play for other entertainment companies, even no different from playing, but in Lu Yuan's company it is the highest.
Lu Yuan had never made such a big investment before.
The album must be released. The contract has been signed and it is impossible to go back on my word now.
After the album comes out, you must find a way to sell it, otherwise it will just pile up like a mountain and be a waste of money.
If you want to sell it, you must promote it, but how?
Lu Yuan was having a hard time promoting this album...
You mean on TV? On various variety shows to promote it?
How is this possible? Lu Yuan himself can go on the show, after all, he has a certain level of popularity and topicality. Being on a variety show is good for everyone, but if Wang Long is recommended...
All right!
Who cares about you?
Who are you, Wang Long?
Where did this singer come from?
Are you famous?
Can anyone appear on TV variety shows? This is a joke.
Unless Lu Yuan is really willing to risk his reputation and take Wang Long to the TV station and accompany Wang Long to participate in the variety show, this path is simply not feasible.
In fact, Lu Yuan did think so.
However, this was Lu Yuan's last choice, and he felt that he needed to hold a meeting regarding this publicity.
After all, he is not a person now, but a company!
On January 5, Lu Yuan specially called all the key figures, including Wang Jinxue, Fatty Wei, Qian Zhong, Wang Long, Wu Tingting and others to the conference room, and also called Zhou Shuai, who was bored, to come to the meeting.
This meeting has two main purposes.
One purpose is the problem of Wang Long's album, and the other is the problem of "Wanderer".
Both questions are simple, they are both publicity issues.
After everyone sat down, they expressed their opinions. Some said they would spend money to put advertisements on the bus, some said they would hold an online album signing event, some said they would discuss with other TV stations to pay for Wang Long to appear on TV, and Fatty Wei even looked at Wang Long's figure and suggested that Wang Long just run to the street and take off his pants, and let Zhou Shuai take naked photos and post them online, first to create a bad reputation and then promote it...
Naturally, Fatty Wei's constructive suggestion was severely kicked by Lu Yuan.
Why the hell don’t you take it off?
“Ahem, ahem, I was just kidding… I just feel that the atmosphere is too depressing and I want to liven it up…” Fatty Wei gave a dry laugh and finally stopped making noise when he saw that everyone seemed too lazy to pay attention to him.
This joke is not funny at all.
Lu Yuan was silent.
Now he faces a very serious problem.
No matter how you promote, it costs money.
This amount of advertising expenses can be said to be a bottomless pit, at least Lu Yuan himself cannot afford it.
He didn't want to sell antiques or mortgage his property, let alone borrow money...
"In fact, it would be great if we could find a nationally famous star to run an advertisement on Weibo and help promote it... Isn't there a celebrity fan ranking list on Weibo? Who's number one? I remember it was Wei Lai, right? Wow, he's still a relative. By the way, this young hunk Wei Lai seemed to have been here when the company opened, and he was quite affectionate with A Yuan at that time. I think if A Yuan contacted him, he wouldn't refuse." Seeing that everyone was silent, Fatty Wei subconsciously offered an idea.
"Director Wei, do you know how much a famous star's publicity costs?" Zhou Shuai shook his head and rolled his eyes at Fatty Wei. "A few hundred thousand is the minimum. Even if Wei Lai, who ranks first in Weibo followers, is offered a friendly price of more than 200,000! And now it's popular to increase followers. Although Wei Lai has one million fans, we don't even know how many zombie fans he has on Weibo... How much effect will an investment of more than 200,000 have?"
"This..." Fatty Wei shook his head awkwardly.
Lu Yuan's brain has frozen now. He doesn't know why his mind becomes unclear when money is mentioned, and he can't say a word for a while.
Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...
These data are like blood sucking.
Everyone fell silent again.
“Why do you want to invite big stars from other companies?”
Wang Jinxue suddenly frowned.
"Mr. Wang, what you mean is... wait!" Wu Tingting didn't understand at first, but then her eyes lit up and she suddenly looked at Lu Yuan.
"Damn it, my brain is rusty from filming so many movies recently. Why should we invite other stars...don't we have ready-made ones? You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are already in it! Oh my god! Isn't Lu Yuan a big star? This guy must be a loser!" Fatty Wei slapped his head suddenly, and then stared at Lu Yuan.
"What?" Lu Yuan was confused at first, but after seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, he suddenly understood: "You want me to do some advertising?"
"Right! A Yuan, you were on the headlines every day before without any purpose. Why don't you put in some advertisements while you are on the headlines this time, and promote our "Wanderer" at the same time? Anyway, this is not the first time you have done this, you know it well..."
"That's right, Mr. Lu. Other small companies think that publicity is a big problem, but in our company, publicity is really not a big problem. Aren't you an advertising expert? Why don't you just think of a topic and make it a headline for fun? It doesn't cost money, and you can get publicity... It's the best of both worlds..." Zhou Shuai also came over to join in the fun.
“Why do you think making the headlines is as easy as eating and drinking?” Lu Yuan was depressed. Is it so easy to make the headlines?
"It may be difficult for others, but is it a big deal for you? Isn't being on the headlines as easy as eating and drinking water? From September, October, November, and December, can you count how many days you were on the headlines? No, can you count how many days you were not on the headlines? Ayuan, I think we can adjourn the meeting now and let everyone go about their own business..."
"..." When Lu Yuan saw everyone's relaxed expressions, he was speechless.
Make the headlines?
The question is, how the hell am I going to make the headlines?
It takes an opportunity to make the headlines, right?
The previous headlines were all inexplicable, and now that it is really going to make the headlines, Lu Yuan is in the black.
"So, how do I make the headlines? In what way?"
"Mr. Lu... Although we would like to offer some suggestions and proposals,... we don't have as much experience as you, so we can't help you..."
"Uh." Lu Yuan scratched his head.
"Weren't you on the headlines every day before? Weren't you on the headlines a few days ago?"
"If I tell you I really don't know how to make the headlines, I guess you won't believe me... or you might think I'm showing off... right?" Lu Yuan looked at everyone.
At this moment, he was speechless.
They really don’t believe it!
