Since it is a group portrait closed-room drama, except for Zhang Songwen, Nazha and other characters who will appear later, several main actors are already in place, and most of them have already completed their makeup.
The opening ceremony was very grand, with dozens of media outlets attending, including many well-known programs.
Including Liugongzhu's "China Film Report", Modu TV's "Entertainment Star World", Guangxian's "Entertainment Live", as well as reporters from Sina, Penguin, LeTV, Sohu and other platforms, the publicity resources are fully utilized.
The reason why so many media outlets are supporting this film is, on the one hand, that the film itself has attracted a lot of attention.
This is Wei Yang's film debut, which he wrote, directed and starred in himself. It has a luxurious cast and he and Fan Xiaopang form the national CP, which is full of gimmicks.
It can be said that "Fame and Fame" is one of the most popular film crews at the moment, and is in no way inferior to the equally star-studded "Painted Skin 2" and "1942", and is even slightly better.
After all, in terms of popularity and exposure, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are definitely the first echelon of the first echelon.
On the other hand, there are the media and platform resources that Wei Yang has accumulated over the years.
Boss Wei has connections with various TV stations and online platforms. When promoting a TV series, he may have to take into account the later broadcasting platform and make targeted invitations. But there is no such worry for movies, so the more the better.
Moreover, after Blue Whale became famous, other platforms scrambled to get it, and the audience also had a viewing base.
This is the first time that the movie Blue Whale has been made, and the target group has changed, so "Famous" attaches great importance to publicity.
A considerable part of the costs are spent on publicity and promotion, and it is not ruled out that additional budget will be added later.
Many main creators wore T-shirts from the "Become Famous" crew with white background and black letters and stood in front of the incense table.
Director Wei took the lead, occupying the C position, with two supervisors, Ning Hao and Fatty Wang, on either side of him, and Fatty Fan and Uncle Ge on either side of Ning and Wang. Five of them stood side by side, followed by many main creators and staff, worshiping the gods and burning incense respectfully and piously.
“The filming went smoothly and it was a big hit at the box office!”
After that, there was a press conference where the main creators went up to talk about the situation, their impressions of each other, and expressed their determination, and then they faced interviews from major media outlets.
There were too many media outlets, and each main creator had several separate interviews, not to mention Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang.
The microphone in Wei Yang's hand was inserted with a media logo card, which could be used as an umbrella when it rains. His throat was almost dry while answering the interview.
"This movie is about... the style is more similar to the Blizzard Hill model, and a bit like The Sound of Wind from two years ago."
"It was my first time as a director, so the pressure was quite high. I am very grateful to Director Ning and Director Wang for their help."
"Guo Xiaosi? I didn't mean to compete. It was mainly because I couldn't find the right person. And I personally had a lot of ideas for this movie, so I became the director... Han Han is also interested, I wish him success."
"The pressure of acting together this time was quite high. Except for Sister Bingbing, all the other actors are my favorites. I hope to learn more from them."
"Sister Bingbing is trying to steal Liu Yifei's spot? This is a rumor. We only look at whether it is suitable. Yifei is a very good actor and we also look forward to the opportunity to work with her."
"This is my second time working with her, and it should be my fourth time working with her. In addition to The Founding of a Party, Bingbing is also starring in Joy of Life. We haven't started filming yet, but I believe we will have a better rapport."
“…”
The questions Wei Yang answered were more comprehensive and complex, while Fan Xiaopang's questions were relatively simple.
The main focus is on the fact that he snatched the role and teamed up with Wei Yang for the second time, as well as the scandal that started to make headlines again because of their collaboration.
When "My Love from the Star" became a huge hit, the rumors about the two of them were already quite popular. Later, he also had a love triangle with Liu Shishi, which was listed as one of the top ten news of the year.
In the past two years, this news has been going around in circles without stopping. Previously, Wei Yang and Liu Shishi starred in "Joy of Life" for the second time, which caused a lot of excitement.
Now Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are collaborating on the former's debut new movie, while Liu Shishi is popular because of "Startling by Each Step". The three of them are at the peak of their popularity, so how could the media and the outside world not hype it up?
The most watched love triangle in the entertainment industry in the early years was that between Chef Xie and Zhang Yunu. Their love triangle was divided into two batches. In the early years, it was Wang Fei, and later it was Teacher Chen.
Now that the two are divorced, the love triangle no longer exists.
Wei, Fan, and Liu, who have all entered the top ranks, have replaced these people and become the new top melon field in the entertainment industry.
As I’ve said before, this kind of highly exposed love triangle scandal is more beneficial than harmful to an artist as long as it doesn’t affect their personal positioning.
Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang were already in ruins, so they definitely didn't care.
Liu Shishi mentioned earlier that she was too closely tied to Wei Yang since her debut, had a high degree of fan acceptance, and had a large overlap with their CP fans, so some negative losses were minimized to the greatest extent, and Wei Yang could also use his scumbag attribute to help her share the blame.
So from a practical point of view, not to mention the artists, the teams have all acquiesced to this abnormal but stable way of cooperation.
Even among the three artists, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are pragmatic and agree with this economical marketing strategy, and the latter is even particularly positive.
Only Liu Shishi was unhappy. She didn't want her boyfriend to get too close to such a dangerous vixen, but she couldn't stop Tang Ren and Wei Yang who tacitly agreed behind the scenes, so she was forced to do the business.
Therefore, Fan Xiaopang's statement was much more obvious and ambiguous than Wei Yang's, and he even made it clear that he took the role just for Wei Yang.
However, she still had some idea. She just hyped up Wei Yang and did not provoke or imply Liu Shishi.
She knew that if she dared to do anything wrong, Wei Yang would turn against her, so even though she wanted to make a big fuss, she still held back when the words came to her lips.
When faced with reporters' questions about the love triangle, she simply covered it up by saying that it was just a rumor from outside and that it was not true, and that she and Liu Shishi had a good relationship.
A normal opening ceremony would basically be completed in one morning, but because there were too many interviews, the crew of "Famous" did not finish all the interviews until dark.
Wei Yang simply hosted the party and took the main creative team and crew leaders out for dinner so they could get acquainted with each other.
When we say we are familiar with each other, they are actually all well-known artists and directors in the industry. Most of them know each other, and they have even collaborated with each other many times.
For example, Fan Xiaopang has worked with Ge Daye in "Cell Phone" and "The Orphan of Zhao", and with Wang Pangzi in "Eight Heroes" and "Little Fish and Flower". Wu Jing has acted with Wang Pangzi, Duan Long, and Fan Xiaopang. Jiang Wu has also worked with Ge Daye in "To Live", etc...
On the contrary, Wei Yang, although the owner, is not very familiar with the rest of the people except Fan Xiaopang and Lin Gengxin.
So rather than saying that everyone is familiar with them, it would be more accurate to say that Wei Yang is getting to know the main creators.

After all, the actors in "Famous" are not small names, especially Ge Da Ge and Fatty Wang. Wei Yang also has to give them some face and understand their personalities better, which will be beneficial to his directing and filming work.
Before this, except for "My Love from the Star" where he needed to support Fan Xiaopang, Wei Yang respected him in all other projects he led.
Therefore, I lack some experience in cooperating with and commanding many big names, so I naturally have to pay more attention.
Fortunately, he has a "good helper" wife, Fan Xiaopang, who gave him a lot of information and had communicated with several people before, so the atmosphere of this party was pretty good.
In fact, when casting these actors, Wei Yang also inquired about their reputation and consciously looked for some who were easy to get along with.
For example, Uncle Ge, he has an easy-going personality, is usually cheerful, and likes to make jokes from time to time.
He doesn't like to get involved in other things. Once he gets paid, he will do whatever he is asked to do within a reasonable range. Apart from filming, he doesn't do anything else and doesn't easily open up to others, but he will never cause trouble for you either.
Not to mention Fatty Wang, he is a complete veteran and very slippery.
In fact, Wei Yang and he can talk about some things in common. They are both realists. Making money is more important than artistic pursuits. He is a bit bad in terms of emotions, but he is more protective and generous.
Anyway, the more they talked, the more Wei Yang's impression of Fatty Wang changed, and the latter began to regard him more and more as a "confidant."
Although Jiang Wu looks big and strong and a bit tough, there is a rumor in the industry that "Jiang Wen is not a cultured person, and Jiang Wu is not a martial artist."
He is not introverted by any means. He is very cheerful and carefree, likes to joke, and is a little cunning. However, he is not as overbearing and domineering as his brother, so he is very comfortable to get along with.
Wu Jing had a great time chatting with him. Both of them were from Beijing and had extroverted personalities, so they had a lot to talk about.
Duan Long is the most introverted among all the main creators and doesn't like to talk much, but Wu Jing has established a good friendship with him during the filming of "West Wind Blows", and they have a very good relationship, so Wu Jing often talks to him and he is not ignored.
As for Fan Xiaopang, she was rarely as smooth and graceful as she was in other crews.
Instead, she followed Wei Yang more often, helping him with his words and even helping to pour wine and pick up dishes. She was a bit like Fan Bingbing transforming into the president's little wife, which left Wu Jing dumbfounded.
He can be said to be the one who has known Fan Xiaopang the longest. As early as 1999's "The Little Li Flying Dagger", the two had worked together, and later they filmed a Qing Dynasty drama "The Most Important Country" as the male and female protagonists.
At that time, Fan Xiaopang was not the now glamorous Fan Bingbing, but Jin Suo who had just debuted.
But even then, Fan Xiaopang had a very wild personality, which left a deep impression on Wu Jing.
Later, the two met on the crew of "New Shaolin Temple". At that time, Fan Xiaopang was very popular. His popularity exploded after "My Dear Lady from the Star" was broadcast. Although he didn't have many roles, his performance was no less than those of the Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities.
Even though she had to bow her head in front of Jackie Chan and King Liu, she never acted like a little wife.
Wu Jing looked at Wei Yang in amazement.
His original impression of Wei Yang was that he was handsome, talented, and good at making money. He could be said to be a rising star in the entertainment industry. He came to "Famous" to play a supporting role, and he also had the mentality of making friends with him.
He also knew that Wei Yang was very popular with women. It would be strange if this new "big shot" in the entertainment industry was not surrounded by women because he was young, rich, and handsome.
He was not surprised that Fan Xiaopang had an affair with him, but he was surprised that Wei Yang could make Fan Xiaopang do this.
This shows that Wei Yang is not as "superficial" as he imagined, but has real ability, and even the battle-hardened Fan Bingbing has been moved by him.
Wu Jing thought about a host who was currently flirting with him, but they had never made it clear that they were in a relationship, and wondered if he should take some time to ask her for advice on how to pick up girls…
