Guan Fei on the side hummed, "That's true, but our movie is really killing it on Douban! The average score is over 9 now!"
Zhou Yiyang was not surprised at all. Isn’t this kind of movie exactly the kind of genre that Douban users like?
"Next, we'll promote it from the perspective of Douban's high scores and the strong recommendations of professional film critics." Zhou Yiyang put his hands on the table and said softly, "Of course, when promoting it, we must point out that our film is rather gloomy and has a very sad tone. Otherwise, some viewers will be deceived and will definitely give it low scores."
"Of course!" Guan Fei nodded. "But will there be any problem with our film winning awards?"
"Of course," Zhou Yiyang took a deep breath. "Haven't you noticed that even in mediocre reviews, netizens will specifically point out Helian Bei's acting? Helian Bei's acting was also very good in 'Dying to Survive', but the plot of that movie was even more talked about. But this time in 'Crane City by the Sea', almost half of the emotions are supported by Helian Bei's acting. He should sweep the show again."
Guan Fei clapped her hands excitedly. Of course, she was happy for Helian Bei from the bottom of her heart.
In fact, she was also very encouraged when she saw that actors of Helian Bei's age could still shine and even usher in a second spring in their careers.
Guan Fei has discovered that age anxiety on the Internet is becoming more and more serious. She sometimes worries that she will be abandoned by society after she turns 30.
"Brother Yang, should we promote Brother Bei's new song cover now?" Guan Fei asked curiously. She thought this was a good time.
However, Zhou Yiyang shook his head and said seriously:
"Don't do it right now. After all, the character he plays in the movie is quite repressed, and suddenly doing this kind of marketing will seem strange to the audience. Wait a few days, when the discussion about the movie has died down, and then bring it out. That'll be the perfect time to start promoting his new album and concert."
Upon hearing this, Guan Fei immediately felt that Zhou Yiyang had thought much more carefully than she had. She scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Yang, you're right. I took it for granted. Brother Bei's fans should be very happy now. They were complaining a few days ago!"
Sister Wang’s stir-fry restaurant was not open today, so Sister Wang dragged her good sisters to the cinema.
They are all fans of Helian Bei, but they are well aware of their own aesthetics and tastes in movies.
Before entering the theater, they had already given themselves a vaccination:
"I think this movie might be a bit obscure and difficult to understand. If I fall asleep while watching it, please don't scold me, sisters!"
They said this and thought this in their hearts.
But when they really walked out of the cinema, everyone's face was filled with sighs, sadness, and of course a little joy.
That bit of joy was a bit shameful, but it was real. They all believed that this movie would allow Helian Bei to leave his name in film history, and this movie would definitely be mentioned repeatedly and talked about with relish many years later.
Helian Bei's choice to make this movie definitely has more benefits than disadvantages.
They all now believe in Helian Bei's choice. Even if this movie doesn't do well at the box office, it is enough as long as it can bring honor to Helian Bei.
In a very simple tavern, Bai Yangyu was drinking wine with peanuts.
He looked up at the person opposite him and suddenly asked curiously, "Are you really not going to watch this movie?"
Hearing Bai Yangyu's question, Helian Bei, who was sitting opposite him, raised his head. He asked in surprise, "Didn't I film this myself? I know the plot, so of course I don't need to watch it again."
Hearing him say this, Bai Yangyu laughed: "You didn't say that in your previous movies. You said that watching yourself act and being in the movie yourself are two completely different experiences."
Helian Bei spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression: "Alright, just forgive me! I admit, watching this movie again is like going through another ordeal for me."
"Well," Bai Yangyu chuckled, "but those were all movies. Aren't you fine now?"
"Hmm," Helian Bei raised his head and whispered, "This movie taught me that I don't have to reconcile with myself. I really like this."
"Yeah, I used to be like that too. It was hard to reconcile with myself." Bai Yangyu seemed to have taken out his phone. After glancing at the screen for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "You know, my love life was pretty miserable. At that time, I was wondering why I was so unlucky! At that time, everyone comforted me, saying, 'Just get through it, time will heal everything.'"
"But I was really sad. I was clearly the victim, so why should I let it go? I did nothing wrong! But no one told me at the time that I could choose not to reconcile." Bai Yangyu laughed: "I was like a useless person at the time. Fortunately, I met Mr. Zhou later, and he helped me get through it."
Helian Bei suddenly laughed when he heard this, as if he remembered some interesting story.
"Come to think of it, I'm a lot like you. When I was at my lowest point, it was Mr. Zhou who found me and pulled me out of the quagmire."
After finishing the emotional topic, Bai Yangyu finally got back to business: "You should still remember that you sang the theme song for our movie."
"I know." Helian Bei smiled. "Brother Yang also told me later that he felt that playing music at any point in the film would ruin the atmosphere, so he didn't add it. I think Brother Yang is right, and I can understand it."
