Chapter 368 We were all deceived by Director Yu
It's impossible to please everyone with a movie.
As we said before, the success of a movie is actually multifaceted, and often it is not enough to just have good quality.
Let’s put it this way.
Promotion and marketing sometimes determine the upper limit of a movie's box office. Think about how many movies were of average quality but became box office hits due to strong promotion and marketing. Think about how many movies were originally good but were ruined by poor promotion and marketing.
In short, on the one hand, publicity and promotion are very important, and on the other hand, the release date of the film is also very important.
Some movies just choose the wrong release date, and the result is a complete waste of time.
Originally, the release date of "The Return of the Dragon" was quite good. Pang Yunfei had been preparing for it for a long time. He even felt that it was a very good plan.
Pang Yunfei didn’t want to compete for the Spring Festival period last year, because there were a few big guys he really couldn’t compete with.
Well, since he can't compete, Pang Yunfei wants to move it to this year's National Day period. After all, this year's National Day period is the most suitable in any aspect.
Everything was just as Pang Yunfei expected. If "Let the Bullets Fly" hadn't interfered, the biggest winner would definitely have been "Return of the Dragon".
After all, the market is so big. If "Let the Bullets Fly" fails to grab the market, then the only two left will definitely be "Return of the Dragon" and "Meteor".
What is more important?
What’s more important is that the reputation of “Meteor” has collapsed, so the market will definitely belong to “Return of the Dragon”.
The result is nothing like it is now.
Once the National Day holiday is over, the following schedules will definitely be meaningless.
To be precise, there will be a period of box office slump in the future.
This means that Pang Yunfei's "Return of the Flying Dragon" was truly wasted because of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Damn it, do you think Pang Yunfei can be hated?
During the National Day holiday, Pang Yunfei said a lot when he was interviewed. In short, he believed that the promotion of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was despicable and harmful to the film market.
Yu Xiaoshu really wanted to laugh at this.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Propaganda is like the Eight Immortals crossing the river, each showing their magical powers.
At this time, you are despicable for saying something about other people's propaganda? ?
Why don't you say whether your propaganda is despicable or not?
Yu Xiaoshu didn't want to pay any attention to Pang Yunfei.
For Yu Xiaoshu, if he paid any attention to Pang Yunfei, he would basically lose.
It's really interesting.
Think about Zhao Yunzhan, and then think about Pang Yunfei.
What can Yu Xiaoshu say?
I can only say that the pattern is not enough.
But it doesn't matter.
It’s not like Yu Xiaoshu hasn’t offended people before. He has offended almost half of the people in the film industry. What’s the problem with him? ?
Because of this, Yu Xiaoshu still asked Zhang Haotian to arrange today's celebration banquet.
Today’s celebration banquet can be regarded as another wave of publicity for “Let the Bullets Fly”.
From the very beginning, "Let the Bullets Fly" has been promoting this aspect as not as good as many other movies. Not only other people find it speechless, but even the actors find it incomprehensible.
Whoever promotes it should play the trump card as much as possible.
As a result, the ace card of "Let the Bullets Fly" was never played.
Ning Fan was actually better off. He was a relatively Buddhist person. As long as the money was paid, nothing else mattered.
But Guo Zeqiang is not like that.
All along, Guo Zeqiang has actually wanted to prove himself. His desire to prove himself is different from that of others.
You have to know that other people want to prove themselves by having a big box office hit, but Guo Zeqiang is different. He not only wants a big box office hit, he also wants a great word of mouth. Not only does he want a great word of mouth, he also wants to surpass Ning Fan.
Because many people always say that Guo Zeqiang is a little bit worse, but when it comes to Ning Fan, they feel that Ning Fan no longer needs to prove himself.
Why?
Why the hell don’t you, Ning Fan, need to prove yourself? Why do I, Guo Zeqiang, have to prove myself?
This is basically what Guo Zeqiang has always thought.
He is a rather awkward person.
He often competes with himself sometimes.
It is precisely because he competes with himself that Guo Zeqiang's acting skills have gradually improved.
You have to know that at the beginning Guo Zeqiang's acting skills were really the worst, even worse than the current young actors, but later on Guo Zeqiang improved his acting skills step by step on his own.
This is also because Guo Zeqiang has a strong learning ability and is also very hardworking.
How to say it? ?
Guo Zeqiang has made quite a few bad movies, but he never deliberately acted badly.
That is to say, Guo Zeqiang participated in the filming of a bad movie, but Guo Zeqiang did not play a bad role.
This can be considered as Guo Zeqiang's true self-control.
If it were someone else, they would have given up long ago.
It is because of this that Guo Zeqiang interprets the role of Zhang Mazi to perfection.
For Guo Zeqiang, he has always wanted to compete with Ning Fan in acting, or to perform a satisfying scene.
And then, this time I was satisfied.
Not only did he act in a competition with Ning Fan, he also felt great acting with Qi Pengfei.
It feels really good.
Qi Pengfei's characters Ma Bangde and Zhang Mazi have quite a lot of rivalry scenes. If one of them can't keep up with the flow, it would be a bit awkward.
Fortunately, both of them are real acting talents, especially Qi Pengfei. Although he has not acted much in recent years, his acting skills have not declined, as he has always been acting in dramas.
Drama can greatly improve acting skills.
Now, for Qi Pengfei, the role of Ma Bangde he played is a big surprise in the whole play.
Qi Pengfei is not a movie star.
He has rarely participated in movies, and he is not even a big name in the film industry.
Many people think that Qi Pengfei hasn't acted for such a long time, is he still okay? ?
And this time, everyone saw it.
Qi Pengfei's acting skills are not just good, they are quite amazing.
Who would have thought that Qi Pengfei would be so strong?
He played the character of Ma Bangde so vividly that you would never know which of his words were true and which were false. He really brought Ma Bangde to life.
powerful.
In addition to Qi Pengfei, there are Zhang Mazi's brothers, not to mention the second, fourth, fourth and fifth brothers, all of whom are TV drama directors. These people have basically nothing to do with movie stars.
Before, when Yu Xiaoshu said that there was no difference between movie stars and TV drama stars, many people disagreed, especially movie stars, who thought, what do you want to do as a writer of web dramas and TV dramas? ?
Are you ready to touch porcelain? ?
But now the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" has proved everything, which shows that Yu Xiaoshu really did not commit any fraud.
Yes.
Yu Xiaoshu did not commit fraud. With the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", he successfully made everyone shut up.
When "Let the Bullets Fly" said that a small goal was 1 billion, many people thought that Yu Xiaoshu was crazy, and some thought that Yu Xiaoshu really dared to hype it up. If this hype about the so-called small goal of 1 billion is not malicious hype, what is it?
But look at it now.
At noon, countless media had already focused on the scene.
Yu Xiaoshu was no longer low-key at this celebration banquet. He not only invited all the actors from the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" to attend, but he also invited all the artists under Baiqian Media to attend.
In short, Yu Xiaoshu will make this celebration banquet as big as possible.
Yes.
He stopped pretending.
The showdown has begun.
Damn, he wants to show these people what real propaganda is.
There were 30 media outlets on the scene this time, and among them there were only two film media outlets, one was the Film Newspaper and the other was Star Film Review.
Needless to say, this movie newspaper said a lot on behalf of Yu Xiaoshu.
As for "Zhongxing Film Review", it is a neutral media. They will summarize the newly released movies every month. No matter whether it is a flop or a successful movie, Zhongxing Film Review will invite well-known film critics in the industry to comment on it.
How to say it? ?
The review of "Let the Bullets Fly" by "Star Film Review" is quite accurate. They believe that the emergence of "Let the Bullets Fly" may give rise to new blockbuster films, and at the same time, they believe that whether commercial blockbusters can take both aspects into consideration.
Only Pang Yunfei would think that the success of "Let the Bullets Fly" is so-called despicable propaganda. The success of this movie really depends on the script for four points, and the remaining six points need to be performed by the actors.
If there weren't such good actors, how could there be such an effect?
"Teacher Yu."
Gu Tianqi was not in the front. She said to Yu Xiaoshu in the lounge, "Let's get started."
"Well, let's get started."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly and said.
Now Gu Tianqi has resigned from Chaohuo Entertainment, not because Chaohuo Entertainment paid Gu Tianqi little, but because Baiqian Media paid too much.
Baiqian Media has been recruiting people all the time.
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu believes that Gu Tianqi is very suitable for public relations because after two years of growth, Gu Tianqi is already fully capable of standing on his own, and Baiqian Media also needs such a writer.
So that's how Yu Xiaoshu recruited Gu Tianqi.
Of course, no matter what, the cooperation between Chaohuo Entertainment and Baiqian Media was relatively good, so Baiqian Media expressed that they could have strategic cooperation in the future.
Chaohuo Entertainment certainly couldn’t ask for more.
In the past two years, they have relied on Baiqian Media for information.
And today, Yu Xiaoshu is going to ask Gu Tianqi to write two manuscripts.
One of them is naturally the article about "Let the Bullets Fly". Now "Let the Bullets Fly" has achieved its small goal, but it has only been released for 7 days. Let's not talk about other things for now. In fact, "Let the Bullets Fly" still has great potential.
The box office on weekdays is definitely not good, but we can find ways to increase the box office on weekends.
One article is an exclusive interview with Yu Xiaoshu.
These two are different. The manuscript about "Let the Bullets Fly" mainly analyzes the plot and other situations, and stimulates discussion among everyone.
But interviews are different.
The interview mainly talks about the next steps of Baiqian Media.
But basically it is still to promote "Let the Bullets Fly".
Half an hour later, everything was almost over, and Yu Xiaoshu asked Gu Tianqi to report out quickly before the celebration banquet was over.
At this time, the celebration banquet had just begun.
As the director and screenwriter of "Let the Bullets Fly", Yu Xiaoshu was of course the first to go on stage.
"Thank you all, thank you friends from the media for coming. I will just say a few words. To be honest, I was quite nervous at first. At the beginning, I wanted to write, direct and act in the film myself. I wanted to play the role of Hu Wan, and I thought I could play it."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said to everyone, "But after I started acting, I realized that being an actor is not that easy. In the past, I often scolded popular artists and resourceful celebrities, but I actually became the kind of people I hate. So after discussion, I decisively asked Pang Ning to come to the rescue. I want to thank Pang Ning for his trust in me..."
This is indeed true.
Pang Ning had just become famous with "The Silent Truth" at the time, so there was nothing wrong with him not wanting to play the role of Hu Wan.
But Pang Ning came anyway. His agent was unwilling, but Pang Ning still believed in Yu Xiaoshu and wanted to sign with Baiqian Media directly.
How to say it?
Yu Xiaoshu was truly touched.
So at today's celebration banquet, Yu Xiaoshu first mentioned Pang Ning and expressed his gratitude.
Later, the natural thing to do is to thank the other actors.
Then, Qi Pengfei came on stage. He smiled and said, "I was tricked by Yu Xiaoshu to come here. He told me at first that Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang were already here to perform, and asked me if I would come. Everyone knows that I am a drama fanatic, so when I heard that these two people were coming, of course I had to come..."
Many people below couldn't help laughing.
Everyone thought Qi Pengfei was joking.
But when Ning Fan came on stage, he said: "Actually, Lao Qi wasn't joking just now. I was also deceived. Director Yu found me and asked me if I would play a role that Guo Zeqiang wanted to play. I wanted to play Zhang Mazi at first, but Director Yu told me that Guo Zeqiang wanted to play Huang Silang, but he thought I was suitable..."
Well, when Guo Zeqiang came on stage, he said: "What Ning Fan said was right, I was quite happy at the time, but in fact, Director Yu wanted me to play Zhang Mazi from the beginning.
”
…
Not only these three people, but other actors also said one by one: "We were not deceived, we were fooled."
Especially the fake Zhang Mazi, he said: "At the beginning, Director Yu said he would give me a good role, a handsome role, but in the end, I didn't expect it to be so handsome."
…
The celebration banquet ended in laughter and joy.
At the same time, Gu Tianqi's manuscript also attracted countless discussions.
