Chapter 46
Wen Yang is different from unscrupulous people like Ning Junyuan who are just trying to get attention.
Wen Yang: Look, this huge popularity was automatically delivered to her doorstep. She didn't chase after it. Now that it has come to this.
It would be a waste if you don’t take advantage of it.
Although Wen Yang actually didn't understand why these people didn't focus on improving the quality of their own dramas, but were just thinking about how to drag others down.
After Yan Zhixia and the others quickly understood Wen Yang's meaning, their anger disappeared and they all had bright smiles on their faces.
Wonderful!
Because "The Sword Seals the Throat" is still in the filming stage, it has not been widely promoted.
In fact, only a small number of drama fans who were attracted by the performances of Feng Lei, Xiang Yunhe, and Fu Ling in "Tang Dao" paid attention to this movie.
The spread is not high.
However, now some rival merchants have spent a large sum of money to buy hot searches to discredit "The Sword That Seals the Throat" in order to prevent an explosion.
From another perspective, it has given "The Sword of Death" huge popularity.
…
So the film company remained silent and did not respond to the negative comments online, as if they were completely unaware of it.
The online discussion about "The Sword That Seals the Throat" continues to ferment.
Mr. Liang, the enemy in the shadows, was a little confused. He asked his secretary in confusion, "What is 'One Sword to the Throat' doing? This newly established small company doesn't have any PR capabilities?"
Although he said he was asking, he was actually talking to himself.
The biggest reason why Mr. Liang is criticizing "The Sword That Seals the Throat" is because the fantasy film produced by his company seems to be clashing with the release date of "The Sword That Seals the Throat".
If that were all, Mr. Liang actually didn't take "The Sword That Seals the Throat" seriously.
After all, he is a fairy hero and the other side is a martial artist.
As we all know, martial arts are completely unpopular.
But unfortunately, the male lead of Mr. Liang’s fantasy film is his contracted actor Cen Kuan.
Yes, it was Cen Kuan who competed for the role and was finally kicked out of the crew of "Tang Dao".
Cen Kuan was ridiculed by the crowd for affecting the crew due to his competition for roles. Later, Feng Lei played the male lead and his popularity soared. The audience also praised Feng Lei for his vivid performance.
The previous Cen Kuan was inevitably brought up for comparison again.
Now the fantasy film starring Cen Kuan is competing with the martial arts film starring Feng Lei.
Mr. Liang could easily guess that comparison was inevitable, so he decided to take action first. The chances were small, but what if Feng Lei's performance in "The Sword of Death" was good and affected his movie?
However, Mr. Liang did not expect that there was no movement from Yijian. Mr. Liang attributed this to the fact that it was a small company.
No ability to resist risks.
I heard that this is the first movie invested by this new company.
In Mr. Liang’s opinion, it is just a new company, otherwise who would invest in martial arts films?
Mr. Liang felt much more relieved.
The secretary then checked the tablet, frowned, and announced, "Mr. Liang, the official account for 'One Sword Seals the Throat' released a video. It seems to be of good quality and has received quite a few compliments."
Mr. Liang's eyelids jumped, and he hurried over, "Let me take a look."
Ten minutes ago, the video posted on the official Weibo account of the movie "The Sword of Death" had already received thousands of comments.
This is already very good data in the promotional reviews of a movie that has not yet been released.
In addition to some people saying "I came here for Feng Lei/Xiang Yunhe/Fu Ling", there are also people saying "I came here because of the trending entry that "all martial arts novels nowadays are rubbish".
This entry is the one that Mr. Liang bought.
The people who came later wanted to see whether "The Sword Seals the Throat" was really that kind of garbage.
Then we clicked on the video, and everyone thought it was a regular promotional video or something.
But the opening screen showed a close-up shot of a cute little girl. The angle of view clearly showed the little girl holding the phone. She blinked her big grape-like eyes at herself on the screen and smiled shyly, asking for help from someone outside the camera.
"Sister, how do I turn this camera?"
The little girl looks very well-behaved, has a sweet voice, and her voice is extremely cute.
Many people outside the screen smiled at the scene. Netizens who like Feng Lei can find out that this is Feng Lei's daughter.
But everyone soon found out.
A gentle female voice gave instructions to the little girl, and the little girl ran towards Feng Lei. The camera shook and introduced that this was her father.
Feng Lei was learning boxing from a martial arts instructor, and his punches were powerful and vigorous.
The little girl turned the camera to the other side, where young men in uniform green clothes were practicing swordplay in a bamboo forest. Their movements were very neat, which was very friendly to those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Outside the bamboo forest is a clear stream, the water flows happily, and you can clearly see the pebbles and small fish in it; further out are rivers and mountains.
There are bamboo rafts on the river and egrets flying in the sky.
In addition to the natural landscape, we also saw many antique buildings, exquisite attics, and down-to-earth teahouses...
The video is three minutes long and looks like it was taken casually by Feng Lei's daughter.
Because the children were still young, the filming was very casual. Everyone only saw part of many things. They just took a glance and then jumped to other places. The picture was even a little shaky.
But we still got a lot of information.
…
"Holy crap, is this the filming location for 'The Sword That Seals the Throat'? A completely real scene? It's so beautiful, my eyes widened."
"What's with those buildings? Were they built for filming? This is so extravagant and inhumane, what a big deal!"
"Why does every actor in this show act like they know martial arts? I know Feng Lei and Xiang Yunhe, they showed off their skills in 'Tang Dao', but why does every actor in this show look so amazing? Did I just see someone fly?!"
"There are so many cold weapons. I saw several rows of shelves, and I didn't recognize some of the weapons on them. Will these be shown in the movie? If so, I want to go to the cinema to see it."
"I never got enough of Feng Lei and Xiang Yunhe's fighting scenes in 'Tang Dao'. This time, they should be able to give a good performance. My expectations are very high."
"Even the shaky footage can't mask the beauty of the real scene, nor the neatness and power of the actors' movements. I can't imagine how much better it would look if it were projected on a big screen using professional equipment."
"Coward, I just dared to think about it, and the uniformity is much better than some idol group stages... speechlessjpg"
The official responded to everyone that the buildings were specially built for filming, and the construction process was accelerated.
That’s not all.
Mr. Liang was still watching the video when his secretary informed him again, "...Mr. Liang, 'The Sword Seals the Throat' is having a raffle. Retweet this Weibo post and win ten prizes for a five-day, four-night trip for two, including airfare and a five-star hotel, along with a visit to the filming location and local scenic spots and natural landscapes."
In fact, after watching this video and the positive reviews below, Mr. Liang felt very bad.
Saw this lottery again.
Mr. Liang felt his eyes go dark.
It seems like he gave the opponent a kill.
This immediate publicity doesn't seem to indicate a lack of public relations skills; it only means they were standing by and watching, waiting for the right opportunity.
In "One Sword to the Throat", the video casually shot by Feng Lei's daughter can shatter the black material carefully created by Mr. Liang.
This doesn't look perfunctory at all. If this is still called perfunctory, then there are basically no conscientious dramas in the industry.
The forwarding of the lottery made netizens open their eyes wide.
Who doesn't want free stuff?!
Forward it!
In fact, the cost of the lottery is not high for the film company, but the popularity has come, and it will definitely be on the hot search list.
Use little money to do big things.
It can be said that after this series of punches, many people know about the martial arts movie "The Sword of Death".
The entire film was shot on location, and every actor has martial arts skills, so the fighting scenes look worth looking forward to. The crew was also very attentive and even built a special building.
Mr. Liang failed to prevent the explosion, and instead seemed to be trying to hype up "The Sword That Seals the Throat".
Many netizens have expressed their anticipation for "The Sword That Seals the Throat", perhaps a good martial arts movie will really come out.
Mr. Liang, “…”
His speechlessness reached its peak after seeing the three smiling emoticons with their hands covering their mouths posted by director Yan Zhixia.
Now Mr. Liang would no longer mock the fact that the company that produced "One Sword to the Throat" was a small company with no public relations capabilities.
Shit, I was tricked. How could this be used as an excuse?!
…
Wen Yang felt her nose itchy, and she knew someone must be talking about her.
But Wen Yang was still in a very good mood.
Just talk about it and save some publicity money! Wuhu takes off!
In fact, it was not part of Wen Yang's plan to post the footage shot by Feng Lei's daughter. At that time, everyone was discussing releasing a serious promotional video.
But it happened that Feng Lei's daughter went to visit the set and took this video. Wen Yang felt that this casual shot seemed more natural, so she decided to replace it with this one.
Of course, the effect is very good indeed.
Wen Yang bought several big bags of snacks for Feng Lei's daughter. The little girl jumped for joy after receiving them.
Wen Yang's filming has been completed, and her schedule today is to go to the recording studio to record a song.
The main characters will go there to participate in the recording of the movie theme song.
Wen Yang took some time in the car to reply to comments and private messages.
The amount of boiling water is huge now, and Wen Yang receives a lot of messages in the background every day.
During this period, Wen Yang basically tried his best to reply.
Wen Yang also encountered boiling water in the elevator, and fans could still recognize her even though she was wearing a mask and a hat.
"Wen Yang, I just saw you guessing with your friends if it was...Ahhh, I love you so much, I'm a fan of your drama!"
The two young girls were a little nervous when they saw Wen Yang. The more outgoing one couldn't help but express her love for Wen Yang with a blushing face.
Wen Yang was still replying to the message, but when he heard the other party was talking about boiling water, he immediately put away his phone and looked up.
"Thanks!"
Wen Yang thanked them sincerely and asked them, "Do you want a photo and autograph?"
"Is it okay?!" The two girls looked like they were about to faint from happiness.
Wen Yang smiled and nodded again, "Of course."
When the elevator stopped at the floor, Wen Yang found a safe place to take photos with them. Not only did he take several selfies, but he also asked Dai Hongliang to help take a full-body photo.
During this period, some people who knew Wen Yang gathered together, and Wen Yang took photos and signed autographs for them, and found a milk tea shop nearby.
Wen Yang, "Would you like some milk tea?"
She waved her hand and said, "It's a bit more expensive. You don't have to save money for me."
The boiling water people picked up the joke, "Ms. Wen will pay the bill today!" and then they all laughed.
This joke happened when Wen Yang participated in a rural slow variety show. He invited a group of four people to stir up trouble in the convenience store.
Wen Yang gave a thumbs up and said, "I really read a lot."
After Wen Yang paid for everyone, he chatted with them for a while. When it was almost time to record the song, he waved goodbye to everyone and went to the recording studio.
Boiling Water posted a signed photo of himself holding milk tea and a group photo online, praising Wen Yang throughout the whole process.
——My sister is so pretty and a very nice person. She is always so affectionate and willing to give me a hug.
Many people below expressed envy, including those who were boiling with boiling water or passersby.
Of course, there were also doubters. "Didn't Wen Yang say before that he didn't want to be her fan? How come now he feels the benefits of having fans?"
Immediately reply with a picture of boiling water.
That screenshot shows someone saying something similar under Wen Yang's comment, but of course the attitude was calmer than this one.
So Wen Yang replied very calmly.
Wen Yang V: Because I thought I might quit the circle at any time, but now it seems that I can still jump around for a while, and they can’t seem to get rid of me.
So Wen Yang can respond to fans.
Passerby: How come there's sadness mixed with amusement, and even a hint of pride.
But no matter what, knowing that it won't work for the time being, Wen Yang, who is actively engaged in business, has a first-class business attitude.
Not only does she reply and flip through cards, but when three-dimensional fans see her taking photos and getting autographed gifts, Wen Yang also remembers the names and birthdays of some active fans.
If he sees a need for a wedding, an exam, or other important occasion, Wen Yang will write a blessing by hand or send a video blessing directly.
After some discussion, other fans were envious: "?!"
Wen Yang’s vermicelli is so delicious, right?
He is very good at flattering a female fan, which is a compliment.
It’s hard for idols who rely on fans to achieve this level, right?
Should we say that Wen Yang understands fans better because he used to be a fan?
…
Wen Yang knows what fans want because he was once a fan.
Some small things can make everyone happy, so why shouldn't she do it?
After Wen Yang finished recording the song, he left the building accompanied by his assistant.
Dai Hongliang had something urgent to do and went back first.
Then Wen Yang discovered that there were a lot of people blocking the road outside, as if there were artists there, but there were also quarrels.
Wen Yang immediately sensed something and perked up. She said to her assistant, who was about to go to the parking lot, "Wait a minute, let's go over and take a look."
Wen Yang ran over quickly and understood what had happened.
It turned out that an artist was filming in front, so the road was closed directly. This is a busy road section, and it is now the rush hour after get off work, and a large number of pedestrians are forced to be stuck here. They are not fans of the artist.
The person in front who looked like a staff member was arrogant and kept gesturing to pedestrians.
"Get out of the way, retreat!"
An uncle was arguing with him, "I pass by here every day to go home, why can't you let me go?"
There was also a grandmother who was very anxious, "There is a kindergarten over there, I want to pick up my niece."
The staff turned a deaf ear to this and just said arrogantly, "If you are not allowed to pass, then you can change the route."
Wen Yang was already getting angry. There was only one road here. If he changed the route, he didn't know how far it would take, and the kindergarten was right on this road.
Wen Yang also heard people around him discussing, "Who is that woman posing over there?"
"I don't know. I don't know her at all. I think her name is Rou."
Wen Yang didn't know him very well, and it was impossible for the artist to be unaware of such a big commotion, but she didn't do anything to stop it and continued to take pictures.
Or maybe closing the road was her idea in the first place.
Wen Yang's mind was full of——
Play small cards with big hands.
Wen Yang's anger was rising, especially when she saw a staff member getting into a conflict with a young female white-collar worker.
They snatched the other person's mobile phone and insisted that the other person was secretly taking pictures of their artists, although the young female white-collar worker kept explaining that she was not taking pictures, but just checking the time.
Assistant Wen Yang knew that Wen Yang was about to go out.
Sure enough, the next second, Wen Yang made a judgment after understanding the situation. She loudly said to the staff who were blocking the pedestrians, "It's wrong for you to block the road. Who gave you permission to do so? Move aside and let everyone pass. If you don't, I'll throw shit at you!"
"Why are you pretending? You think you are so noble. Put down your cows. You are so powerful."
What kind of people are they? They are just trying to inflate their own status. Do they think they are so great just because they are public figures?
Wen Yang: Bah!
"And give her the phone back. I'll count to three."
Wen Yang still remembers the white-collar worker's cell phone.
Wen Yang's words were quite spiritually polluting, as he was throwing shit and complaining at the same time.
However, for newcomers who are stuck on the road, this behavior is still quite refreshing.
The assistant thought that if they had been sensible when they got here, they might not have suffered such a terrible fate. However, Wen Yang was wearing a mask and a hat, so these people couldn't recognize who she was.
The arrogant staff member was still looking through the photo album on the white-collar phone. "Why are you so disgusting?" he said to Wen Yang.
"What's wrong with counting to three?!" He still acted very arrogant.
Wen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Do what you want to do to whoever you want."
Wen Yang didn't even give him time to count after hearing this. He called, "Hello, comrade police officer, there's a robbery going on here. I'm reporting a possible illegal road blockade."
Taking a cell phone and not returning it is robbery.
Wen Yang: He said it himself, and so many people were listening.
What's wrong?
Yo ho, why don’t you call the police?
Wen Yang also speculated that they would not apply for road closure, and of course even if they did, it would not be approved.
