Chapter 268 Let me teach you how to take pictures
Xu Kong also didn't expect that one day he would be tricked by Su Zhi.
But it has to be said that Su Zhi quietly asked others to get off work, which was obviously premeditated.
In other words, this office war was obviously prepared by the other party.
Unfortunately, even though he came prepared, he still lost to Xu Kong in the end.
This is the first time Xu Kong has come to Su Zhi in recent times.
Most of the time, I still stay at Fengge's headquarters.
Song Youyou and others can basically see each other, but Su Zhi is really not convenient.
But Su Zhi is not like Youyou, who hopes to stay by Xu Kong's side every day.
Most of the time, Su Zhi would not take the initiative to contact Xu Kong.
Even if they haven't seen each other for such a long time, Su Zhi would not directly say "I miss you".
……
The meeting with Su Zhi was just a small episode before the release of "Sweet Honey".
As the advance screening time gets closer and closer, the promotion of "Sweet Honey" has begun to become larger and larger.
Of course, it may be because there are not many new movies released in April, which is a slow season for the film market. With Xu Kong's popularity and popularity, "Sweet Honey" has almost no so-called opponents.
But it’s just for publicity, there are still movies released at the same time.
For example, Peng Yu, who was originally a producer but now changed careers and became a director himself, will also release his new movie in April.
It's just that Peng Yu is well-known in the industry, but few netizens know him among the public.
In addition, his film itself was produced with a low budget, and there was little investment in publicity and distribution, so naturally it did not have much of a presence.
Even Xu Kong himself and Feng Ge were not too serious.
It's just that the budget of Xuanfa is not enough. As a senior producer, Peng Yu still has some methods of his own.
For example, using his contacts in the entertainment industry, many well -known actors to help forward Weibo to promote.
It is worth mentioning that among them are Xu Kong’s old acquaintances.
Chang Dachun, the director of Shang Yuxin's last film.
……
"This will be the best movie in April or even this year!"
Chang Dachun forwarded the scheduled release of Peng Yu's new movie on Weibo and said in the caption.
Speaking of which, after he had a scolding fight with Xu Kong, he was obviously unprepared and was plotted by Xu Kong.
Subsequently, almost all of his Weibo posts were occupied by comments such as "exploding gold coins" and "old climb".
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and closed the comment section of my Weibo.
Now that more than half a year has passed, Chang Dachun's flamboyant character naturally cannot be idle.
Peng Yu was relatively familiar with him, after all, he was also from Xincheng Pictures.
Helping with publicity is for sure.
But at the same time, while promoting, it was difficult for Chang Dachun not to step on Xu Kong in a weird way.
After all, it is impossible for him not to know about the news that Xu Kong's new movie will be released in April.
The most important thing is that the process of Xu Kong's film project approval, no matter the specific reasons, is inseparable from the outside world and has something to do with him.
If there is anyone who least hopes to see Xu Kong's first film succeed, Chang Dachun's name is definitely among them.
At the beginning, he had no choice but to blame Shang Yuxin, the heroine, for the box office failure of his movie "Feng Hua".
Even if we don’t mention the online scolding between him and Xu Kong, if this movie starring Shang Yuxin is also a period film and succeeds, it will not only be ridiculed by people on the Internet, but also the industry will probably laugh at it.
……
What Chang Dachun didn't expect was that not long after he posted this Weibo, the number of comments suddenly began to increase.
It had been so long since the original incident, but now when I saw the comments in the comment area, the memories of his death suddenly began to pop up, and my blood pressure instantly increased.
"Lao Deng, why are you so restless again?"
"You are acting so weird here, why not actually explode some gold coins for me, and I will help you scold Xu Kong."
"Lao Deng, it's been so long, why haven't the gold coins exploded yet?"
Since Xu Kong originally created the words "Laodeng" and "Explosive Gold Coins", these two words have begun to be seen everywhere online and have become a quite popular meme culture.
Chang Dachun is indeed one of the first users to start using Weibo.
In the past, when things were fine, I also liked to talk on Weibo.
I also had arguments with some netizens, but almost never suffered any loss.
But unfortunately, since meeting Xu Kong, he found that he, a well-known director, suddenly seemed to have become a clown-like character on the Internet.
Xu Kong's phrase "Lao Deng who can't make gold coins" has now completely become a label that he can't get rid of.
……
“I’m so angry!”
Chang Dachun originally thought that he had come out of the incident with Xu Kong.
His own Weibo comment section has also begun to open up.
He has been able to look at the comments from netizens relatively calmly, but when the comments section was flooded again, he was still a little overwhelmed.
If he hadn't been concerned about his own image, and if the company was also intervening, he would probably have to go out and scold those netizens in person.
Of course, he has not forgotten Xu Kong, the culprit.
So in his opinion, the fact that Peng Yu's new movie was released at the same time as Xu Kong's was a good time to step on each other.
But to be honest, he had seen Peng Yu's movie called "Running Alpaca", and the other party wanted to make a low-cost black humor comedy.
But the effect of the finished film is indeed relatively average.
He didn't think Peng Yu's low-budget film could compete with Xu Kong.
But he didn't say much about Gong Huo.
Especially since it is said that Peng Yu's film schedule has been squeezed out by Xu Kong's "Sweet Honey", I hope that Peng Yu can go and cause trouble for Xu Kong.
……
"Director Peng, do we want to clarify a little bit?"
Peng Yu's own agent couldn't help but speak at this time.
He is said to be an agent, but in fact he still plays the role of an assistant. Peng Yu makes most of the decisions himself.
Because of a Weibo post by Chang Dachun, the corresponding topic has become a hot search topic.
It's nothing more than the so-called best movie in April. Everyone knows that Xu Kong's first movie will be released in April. In addition, Xu Kong and Chang Dachun's previous scolding war makes it difficult for people not to think of it as being in Yin and Yang. Xu Kong.
But it was obvious that Chang Dachun had not discussed this matter with Peng Yu in advance.
Now, their film "Running Alpaca" has also been implicated, and some mocking netizens began to appear under the relevant announcements on Weibo.
"Why do you need to clarify?"
Peng Yu replied lightly.
"What does Chang Dachun's words have to do with our movie?"
"And..."
"Go find the trolls again and ask them to hype up this topic a little more."
Peng Yu is indeed a senior producer.
When Chang Dachun asked him to take the initiative to touch Porcelain Xu Kong, he refused. Because I know Xu Kong's current popularity, even if I suffer a loss on the issue of film arrangement, if I rashly go to have a conflict with Xu Kong.
On the contrary, it will reduce the movie’s popularity and reputation.
In addition, the original budget is not enough. If you are not careful, it is easy to lose control of public opinion.
So I never chose that kind of publicity method.
But now, Chang Dachun is looking for trouble on his own.
It's like the popularity comes to your door for nothing. If you don't take advantage of it, you will really be sorry for his professionalism for so many years.
More importantly, once the popularity is over, it is equivalent to giving your movie a huge boost of publicity.
At the same time, he could see that something was wrong, so he directly passed the blame to Chang Dachun.
I pretended not to know about this before. Anyway, it was Chang Dachun's own words, which had nothing to do with their film company and him as the director.
……
"Chang Dachun?"
Xu Kong heard Zhu Yu mention the hot searches of the past two days.
His expression became a little weird.
He didn't expect that the other party would dare to show up again after being played like that by him last time.
"This is "Running Alpaca", I've never heard of the director's name..."
Not to mention, in such an unpopular schedule, other projects in the same period were small-cost productions. It can be said that "Sweet Honey" has no competitors.
So Xu Kong didn't pay attention to these at all.
Now that he heard Zhu Yu say it, he only found out after he went to learn more about it.
"Peng Yu worked as a producer before, and he was quite famous in the industry..."
Zhu Yu began to introduce Xu Kong in detail.
"Fanhe Group?"
Xu Kong fell into deep thought. He was still the capital behind Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures.
Before, we all know that Fanhe is one of the largest and most well-funded investment companies in the country.
But it has only been half a year, and Fanhe has indeed grown from a new company in the entertainment industry to a frightening speed.
Nowadays, it is not only Xincheng Pictures, but also several companies invested by Fanhe, covering all aspects of the entertainment industry, and almost all of them have strong development momentum.
……
“Moreover, this matter didn’t attract much attention at first, but in a short period of time it suddenly became one of the top three most searched topics on Weibo today.”
"It's very likely that the other party is deliberately hyping it up."
This was not a complicated operation, and Zhu Yu could of course see it right away.
Chang Dachun might have subconsciously said that because of the conflict with Xu Kong.
But in this "Running Alpaca", the producer doesn't seem to have done anything, but secretly it must have added fuel to the flames.
After all, it was such a good and risk-free publicity opportunity, so of course I couldn’t let it go.
"But Peng Yu's movie shouldn't pose much of a threat to us."
"The types are different, and it can be seen that the investment is not large, and the budget for publicity and distribution is not high. This time it is just to ride on the popularity."
Zhu Yu spoke out her judgment.
The specific meaning of this is that although this matter is quite popular now, it actually doesn’t need to be paid too much attention to.
Although it is uncomfortable for anyone to be criticized, the more angry you are and the more you give some response or other feedback, the more the other party will achieve what they want.
"I know."
Xu Kong responded calmly.
Even if Zhu Yu didn't mention it, Xu Kong actually didn't pay too much attention to a small-budget movie of the same period.
Even if it is released in the summer and the opponents at the same time are very strong, he will not spend too much energy fighting a publicity war with the opponent.
For "Sweet Honey", the most important thing at the moment is not the domestic side, but the overseas box office of several surrounding countries such as Kimchi.
This is what Xu Kong is most concerned about.
Even after "Sweet Honey" is officially released, Xu Kong will still go to Kimchi Country in person to hold some kind of premiere ceremony.
There is no way, the reference answers from the previous life are there, there is no way I really don't care about it at all.
And for Xu Kong, if he could make money from the audience over at Kimchi, it would probably bring greater satisfaction.
If "Sweet Honey" is successful and we have a certain foundation, we can consider officially starting to explore the kimchi market in the future.
……
It's just that Xu Kong didn't care about Peng Yu's movie from the same period, but Xu Kong still couldn't let go of the annoying Chang Dachun.
In the final analysis, the other party's annoying face is one aspect.
Also, Xu Kong still remembers that the main reason why he decided to temporarily film the movie "Sweet Honey" was because he wanted to avenge and reconcile Shang Yuxin who suffered a blow.
So just after talking to Zhu Yu, and before they even left the other party's office, Xu Kongxin posted a new Weibo post.
I have to say that although Xu Kong’s Weibo seems to be updated almost all the time.
But compared to when I was an idol in Fengqing Entertainment, it is almost completely closed.
Some ordinary idol stars have targets for how many selfies they must post in a week. In addition, they will also take the initiative to post some Weibo posts to start managing their own personas.
But as for Xu Kong, Weibo is full of related reposts.
Either he is promoting his new movie or new song or something.
He rarely takes the initiative to express his opinions.
Weibo itself is mostly run by his studio.
But Xu Kong himself definitely still has control over the account.
……
"@长大春, remember to watch my new movie "Sweet Honey". It is also a period film with the same heroine. I will teach you how to shoot it."
As soon as the Weibo was posted, Zhu Yu's cell phone buzzed.
As an agent, Xu Kong's Weibo is naturally Zhu Yu's only special concern.
"Xukong!"
After Zhu Yu read Weibo, she glared at Xu Kong angrily.
This guy had just told me that he wouldn't take it to heart, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately posted on Weibo without permission.
Of course, she wasn't angry with Xu Kong for what he posted, mainly because the other party didn't say anything or discuss it with her at all, and her manager was sitting in front of her.
"Forget it..."
Looking at Xu Kong's innocent eyes, Zhu Yu sighed helplessly.
Strictly speaking, Xu Kong and Feng Ge's ordinary artists are indeed different.
As an agent, I don't seem to have much decision-making power.
However, it is foreseeable that as Xu Kong's Weibo post is posted, public opinion will be completely detonated this time.
This guy really holds a grudge.
Zhu Yu began to feel some sympathy for poor Chang Dachun.
