Chapter 294 How about making up a play to promote the road show!

This discussion was specially held in the tea room designated by Director Zhong.

Zhong Wentai said: "Originally, I wanted to open it in a studio, but my wife felt that the atmosphere in the studio was too serious and would make you young people feel restrained, so I switched to a more relaxed setting. "The tea room."

His words set the tone for this meeting, and he didn't want to be too serious.

In this case, Jinli followed suit and said, "It just so happens that I came back from abroad and brought you some gifts. I will send them to you all together this time, and I am too lazy to mail them one by one."

Hearing this, Xu Wenwen couldn't help but look at her and asked: "Are you going abroad to shoot a magazine? All the actors of "No Survival" are there?"

Director Zhong Wentai heard this and asked curiously Said: "How did you get the opportunity? I heard that the overseas copyright has been sold."

The smile on Jinli's face did not change, but in her heart she was thinking about how to reply.

Shortly after they flew to Country Y, domestic media broke the news.

It is said that "No Survival" is ready to go to sea. This time all the crew members were invited by a magazine from Country Y to go to Country Y to shoot the magazine.

The overseas distribution rights are suspected to have been sold, so everyone will wait and see!

The revelations are reasonable and well-founded, and it was not just one family that broke the news, but many families followed suit.

This is a situation where the overseas copyright sales of "No Survival" are very prosperous.

Even though it has not been announced which country it has been sold to, netizens firmly believe that the overseas copyright of this drama has been sold.

I have to say, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Jinli felt that Sui Lingfang's move was completely speculative, just like stock trading, it was based on expectations.

What, this company can’t achieve it now?

It doesn’t matter, if its future expectations can reach the top level in this direction, then it can start speculation now!

If the stock price rises high, you can find fellow villagers to take over!

But it has to be said that this kind of hype was very popular among domestic audiences. It was also relying on this wave of popularity that "No Survival" firmly occupied the second place at the time.

The third place behind tried to get on top several times, but failed.

If you get the first place in the future, then "Leisure and Slow Life" will work hard again.

But the details are best known to our own people, and it is inconvenient to tell outsiders.

Jinli had no intention of lying and just said: "I don't know much about this aspect. It is all run by the director and the company. But it is a coincidence that we received the invitation from Country Y magazine. 
After we went to Country Y, we found out that an editor from the magazine was on a business trip to the country and felt very good after watching "No Survival"

After he returned to China, he proposed to the editor for an interview. The editor-in-chief learned about the show on the Internet and finally decided to extend an invitation to us. "

Director Zhong Wentai couldn't help but said: "You are very lucky. "

Xu Wenwen couldn't help but say: "Jinli has good luck in every drama she shoots. "

Zhong Wentai relaxed his eyebrows, and the stone that had been weighing in his heart for many days was relieved a little. Jinli is the heroine of his drama, maybe he will be lucky?

He will be lucky this time. I called everyone here just to talk about publicity

Director Zhong said: "I have outsourced the promotion on the Internet to a company. It will be streamed in various video fields and social platforms to show the most exciting parts to netizens. You don't have to worry about this.

What I want to ask you is, what do you think about the road show? Do you want to participate in the platform activities? "

The actors looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.

Including Jinli, she didn’t know why Director Zhong asked this.

Nowadays, it is very normal for celebrities to participate in road shows and promotional activities for their films. She thought that Director Zhong called them over to ask them what they thought about the road show and how they wanted to organize it.

I didn’t expect to directly ask them if they wanted to participate in the road show.

This...

Is the salary upgrade a bit too high?

Seeing their cautious faces, Director Zhong seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but smile: "It's my fault. You are all new actors I selected. You have never worked with me before, so you don't understand me. The habit of cooperation.

Basically I don’t participate in any road shows to promote my films.

First of all, the films I make are all literary and artistic films, so it is very difficult to participate in road shows. My films are usually about spiritual communication with the audience.

During the filming, it was actually quite boring. Not many exciting things happened, and there was no danger, so there was nothing worth sharing with the audience. ”

After hearing what he said, Jinli understood a little bit.

In terms of plot, literary and artistic films are indeed not as easy to operate as commercial films.

You know, literary and artistic films are generally They don’t issue knives, but once they do, they are definitely the kind that can pierce the heart, lungs, and bones.

This kind of clip is not easy to perform in a road show.

Otherwise, the scene would not be happy, but depressed.

Zhong Wentai waited for everyone to react and continued: "But the plot of "Dream Builder" is different from the literary and artistic films I have shot in the past. It is a biography of a character, plus the recent "No Life" "Also" became a hit as a literary film. "

At this point, he looked at Jinli specifically.

Not only her, but also the other actors looked up at Jinli.

Jinli nodded to them calmly.

Chung Wentai: "Because of the sudden rise of "No One Survived", my wife gave me a suggestion, asking me to listen more to the opinions of young people and not just think about the past.
 So I would like to ask you if you want to participate in the road show. If you want to participate, what kind of process will be suitable? If you don't want to participate, is there any other promotion? I want to try the communication method.”

Afraid of putting pressure on everyone, Director Zhong added: “We are all young people. We can communicate with each other and talk about whatever we want, and I won’t be angry.” 
Since Director Zhong is so sincere, and the self-media publicity method does not require actors to worry about it, all they have to worry about now is the road show... Someone immediately spoke out.

It's Xu Wenwen.

She said straightforwardly: "Roadshows must be held. Nowadays, no movie is released without a roadshow. This is also to maintain the connection between the movie and the fans.

Let me give you an example. , although I don’t like to join in the fun and won’t participate in road shows, but if I like a drama very much, I will look for that drama

Including press conferences, road shows, live broadcasts of the crew, program interviews... these are the derivatives of my love for this drama, which will also give me more emotional sustenance. 
At the same time, as long as the operation is good, it may be possible to develop a "Dream Builder" series

If the popularity is high enough, Director Zhong may be able to shoot biographies of relevant characters, such as "Dream Builders 2" and "Dream Builders 3". "

These words were immediately agreed by other young actors. Jinli said: "I also think it is necessary to hold a road show. "

Director Zhong was thoughtful.

He asked: "Then how do you want to hold it? Or should it follow the traditional road show process? ”

In this regard, other actors don’t have much experience, and those who have experience don’t think of how to innovate.

What does a traditional road show look like?

Arrange a host and conduct the hosting according to the steps, a round of interviews, a round of interaction with fans, a round of performances... Jinli has participated in the road show of "No Survival", and just started Still quite fresh.

But after participating in a few games, I felt a bit boring.

Because the questions are basically repetitive, whether they are questions from the host or questions that fans want to know, the same ones come and go.

Moreover, at the road show, many times the director and actors would talk about the emotional journey of filming this drama, which is commonly known as "selling miserably".

It is true that it is not easy to shoot every film, but for actors and directors, it always feels a bit uncomfortable to say this over and over again.

Not everyone likes to be miserable!

But these will not feel new to fans.

It’s very simple. After all, each road show has a different location and different fans participating.

Every word they said and every question they answered was new to fans at different venues.

Even these words have been said many times by the crew members.

So Jinli came up with an idea: "As for the road show, we can hold it in the cinema, and do a pop-up road show just before each show.

And For a real road show, how about we compile a short drama based on the content of "Dream Builders"? "A drama?" Zhong Wentai asked, "A one-hour drama?"

Roadshow promotion is usually one hour or longer.

Jinli said: "This is just an idea of mine, because after watching the road show, if the audience is interested in the drama, they will go to the cinema to watch it.

Then what we have arranged The plot of the drama should be different from that of the movie, so as not to make the audience watch it again and again
Director, we shot "Dream Builders" for so long and edited so many scenes, but the final film is only 100 minutes.

My idea is, can we make some things that cannot appear in the film. The content in the movie should be shown on the road show, so I thought of a drama.”

Xu Wenwen said thoughtfully: "Your idea is quite unique, and I like it very much."

Others also said: "A drama, it sounds very good."

"I think it can be done Try it, test the water first.”

“Use drama. It’s much more interesting to promote it in the form of a road show than an interview.”

Seeing everyone’s interest, Zhong Wentai said with a smile: “In that case, let’s try watching a drama. It’s just right. I’ve never been a fool. I have been a drama director and this time I have a lot of fun

But think about it, using a drama to promote is much harder than an ordinary road show. Each performance lasts an hour, and you will also face many tests.

Even if this play is arranged in a hurry, I will not lower the quality. If you don’t pass the test, I won’t let you on stage! "

All the actors felt tense and a little scared for a moment.

Jinli spoke at this time, with bright eyes and full of confidence: "Director, don't underestimate us, the movie is about to be released, even if It’s for the sake of box office results, and we will fight hard!

Besides, the content of the drama is "Dream Builder". This drama was only filmed last year, and everyone has accepted your guidance. We were able to take pictures before, and we can still take pictures now! ”

Led by Jinli, the others were no longer afraid and were full of energy.

After the meeting, Zhong Wentai stopped Jinli again and discussed with her a movie promotion song.

“I have listened to all the song demos sung by your teammate Xi Mengze, and they are all very good, but the one that I like the most is "Ruyu".

I plan to use "Ruyu" As a movie promotion song for Dream Builders, although This song has been sung by your teammates, but as the star of this drama, you also have to learn to sing it.

Your performance may be required in some promotional interviews, so you also have to go to the recording studio. Record your version.”

Jinli nodded in agreement: "Actually, I have thought about singing this song myself. If it's just a studio recording, I wouldn't be afraid at all, but if it's a live performance, it would be a bit stressful.

But if I sing it occasionally, I won't be afraid. The problem is, I’m just worried that I won’t be able to hold on if I sing too frequently.”

Zhong Wentai. "Yeah" he said, "I'll just sing it on some occasions, not many times."

Jinli: "Okay, I'll record it when I get back now."

Zhong Wentai said: " There’s no need to be in such a hurry, just finish what you’re doing first, since we haven’t started the promotion yet.”

He also remembered that Jinli had a drama that was being released and might have to promote it.

Recording songs is not a big deal, even if I wait until "Dream Builder" is released before recording again, it doesn't matter.

Jinli smiled when he heard this.

She smiled and said: "It's okay, director, I have a lot of free time!"

Only then did Zhong Wentai remember that as a popular star, Jinli had very few announcements in the entertainment industry. .

And he has been busy with a lot of things recently, busy arguing with cinemas about release dates, daily schedules, publicity before the release, publicity after the release...

For a moment, Zhong Wentai was a little envious of Jinli's freedom. .

But on the other hand, Zhong Wentai is very optimistic about Jinli.

Such an actor is definitely a good actor because she has enough time and can devote herself to one thing wholeheartedly without being distracted by additional announcements.

Zhong Wentai said immediately: "You are the heroine, and the play must be based on you. You play a very important role in it.

Since you have some free time recently, you should learn how to perform in a drama, which is very different from screen acting, and find the state you were in before filming "Dream Builders".

The other people's roles are not important, so I won't keep an eye on them, I will just keep an eye on you. "

Jinli: "...Is it too late to take back what I said? "

Director Zhong Wentai said with a half-smile: "What do you think? "

Jinli immediately turned around and left, "I'm going to study now! ”

He left in such a hurry that he didn't want to stay for a second longer, for fear that he would be given another mission by Zhong.

Jinli returned to Chenxi Entertainment and told what had been discussed at the meeting, and asked Sister Fang to call Mengmeng over.

Now that you have selected the movie promotion song, let’s record it quickly.

Her version was also recorded quickly, and she recorded it with Mengmeng, so that Mengmeng could take care of her.

An excellent singer is very emotionally contagious.

Once the emotion is in place, singing can also be in place quickly.

As for the skills required for singing, isn't it waiting for Mengmeng to guide her.

Jinli thought happily.

Good night, please ask for the guaranteed monthly pass for tomorrow~
