Chapter 305: Schedule, strategy (please vote)
“As I said before, Lin Xing does not need to rely on this to create hype, but this does not mean that Lin Xing cannot refute rumors.< br>
I know that even after Lin Xing posted these three sets of videos, there will still be a lot of doubts and even curses.
In the past 10 days, you can see how many attacks Lin Xing has suffered.
I don’t understand. Lin Xing just acted in a movie, and he didn’t steal it from others. He invested and attracted investment by himself. It can be said that without Lin Xing, this movie would not be possible
Talk about how Lin Xing is anxious and swollen, etc.?
What nonsense? ? ?
You didn’t even watch the movie and you decided to die for this movie? ?
If Lin Xing doesn’t respond, you say Lin Xing is in the wrong.
Lin Xing responded, you said Lin Xing was hyping up.
You guys said both the truth and the truth, right?
......
After responding to Lin Xing's three sets of videos, Lao Zhong's Weibo post this time was not so polite.
She first predicted other people's predictions, and found it even more funny for those people to say that Lin Xing was hyping up.
Especially these three sets of videos are aimed at other people's dirty laundry.
Isn't this another kind of explosion protection? ? ?
In fact, Lao Zhong herself was a little surprised. She believed in what Lin Xing did to experience life.
But knowing is one thing, when you look at Lin Xing’s working environment, accommodation, and meals in the video.
How to say it? ?
If an actor goes to this level to experience life, then who dares to say that the actor is not dedicated?
But in the entertainment industry, it cannot be said that there are no people who can achieve this level, but they are too few.
First of all, actors no longer need to do this, just like action actors no longer need to work hard when filming.
Secondly, time is money. Three months of your life is enough for an actor to film two works.
After all, there are too few people in the entertainment industry who are really down-to-earth in acting.
Let’s not talk about other people, let’s just talk about some former acting schools, such as Feng Ning, Huang Hai, and Zhao Bo. They are all considered to be the best actor or best actor. What’s the result?
As a result, they are almost becoming variety show stars now.
After all, variety shows bring in money quickly. Just like the daily salary of 2.58 million for filming, variety shows are even more so.
Millions a day are few.
What’s more, filming variety shows is mostly for fun, and there is no need to suffer or suffer.
There are even some travel variety shows, which are really welfare.
Therefore, many people in the industry, including many marketing Vs, think that Lin Xing cannot have this time.
Although Lin Xing has been out of contact for so long, who knows whether he is going to experience life or go filming? ?
Kong Shan didn’t even believe that Lin Xing experienced life in silence for three months.
Isn’t this stupid in his opinion? ?
When everyone is opportunistic or even joining the group seamlessly, you have to experience life for three months, which is a bit out of place.
That's why Kong Shan felt that Lin Xing was being hyped.
Even Zhao Zi is the same. She is still a fan of Lin Xing in this period.
As a result, she also thought that Lin Xing would not directly experience life for three months.
But now she has changed her mind.
As mentioned before, Zhao Zi is also a surfer, she is very smart.
You can choose fake videos when it comes to experiencing life, but you cannot choose fake videos like these three videos released by Lin Xing Studio.
Because of interviews with the owner of the auto repair shop, interviews with employees, working environment, accommodation environment, interviews with other hotel owners, and Lin Xing’s check-in videos, eating videos, etc.
How do you fake these things? ?
To be honest, this is the era of self-media. When all accurate things are exposed, it is difficult for you to fake it.
Because Muhe has not been very lively in recent days, many big anchors are there. They even went directly there after knowing the auto repair shop where Lin Xing worked.
Do you want to fake this live broadcast?
It’s too difficult.
“I’m the one who invited you for this meal, so consider it my apology to you.”
Zhao Zi said to Zeng Li: “Our brother Xing is indeed powerful, and he is indeed strong. , I really didn’t expect that he could actually stay in Muhe for a few months and experience life..."
"Stop, who is following you and us?"
Zeng Li said angrily: "It's my brother Xing."
Obviously Zeng Li still holds grudges. Of course, grudges are grudges, and you have to eat this hot pot.
“Waiter, another plate of mutton.”
As she spoke, Zeng Li asked the waiter for another plate of mutton. She thought for a while and then said: “I’ll have some beef too. .”
“Aren’t you afraid of overeating?”
Zhao Zi said angrily: "I've already invited you to dinner, what else do you want?"
"Shouldn't you invite me to dinner? Think about what you said before?" ?”
Zeng Li said without even raising her head while eating.
Zhao Zi was indeed in the wrong. She thought about what she had said before and said helplessly: "Okay, I have admitted that I was wrong, and I also invited you to dinner and apologized. What else do you want??"
“I don’t want to do anything. If you invite me to dinner, why don’t I come and eat too.”
Zeng Li raised his head and said.
Zhao Zi: "???"
......
Lin Xing Studio
"I think so about the choice of schedule. ”
Meng Yan, the head of Didu Mingda Film Distribution Company, said with a smile: "This year's Toronto film festival is from September 6th to September 10th, and this year's Venice Film Festival is from August 30th to September 5th... ”
Previously, Lin Xing and Diane also discussed who should be assigned to distribute the movie "Killing Arden".
Huahai Film and Television mainly focuses on TV series. They don’t shoot many movies, let alone distribution channels.
Not to mention those companies with awesome releases.
They will definitely look down on a literary and artistic film like "Killing Arden". Even if it is not an artistic film, they would not be willing to look at this lineup.
Diane actually wanted to ask Bohai Tianji Film and Television to distribute it through connections. After all, Diane's first two movies were handed over to Bohai Tianji.
Wang Ning, who is responsible for the distribution of Kebohai Tianji, made it clear to Diane directly.
"Old Dai, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help you. If I help you again, I will have to go down."
Wang Ning said helplessly.
This is the truth.
You must know that Diane's first two movies were released by Bohai Tianji, and even the first movie Bohai Tianji was directly released with a guaranteed guarantee.
Then naturally I lost money.
Since Bohai Tianji was out of luck, Ding Chunling called Meng Yan.
Didu Mingda is naturally incomparable with the old distribution companies, but it has been relatively strong in recent years, and many of the films it has released are small and big.
All this is due to Meng Yan, the capable woman talking eloquently in front of her. Meng Yan started her career as an actress, and she also graduated from the Imperial Film Academy.
But there are too many beauties at the Imperial Film Academy, and Meng Yan is not that outstanding.
As for acting? ?
Meng Yan can only be regarded as mediocre. After all, everyone at the same time as her is at the level of the Great Demon King. Meng Yan is really far behind.
So she decisively began to change her career path. She began to move behind the scenes, first becoming an agent, then becoming a producer, producer, and then becoming a CEO.
Ding Chunling and Meng Yan have known each other for almost 20 years. It can be said that Ding Chunling has known each other since Meng Yan debuted.
The relationship between the two is quite good. When Meng Yan was her agent, Ding Chunling taught her step by step for a while.
So when Ding Chunling talked about the release of the movie "Killing Arden", Meng Yan came to Lin Xing Studio immediately.
No matter how this movie goes, Meng Yan is willing to help Ding Chunling.
Also, Meng Yan is different from others. She does not think that there is no market for artistic films.
Today's film market is no longer dominated by Hollywood, and the audience's appreciation level is gradually improving.
Another point is that movies now have gradually become the attributes of commodities.
The quality of a movie must be good, but this is one aspect. The other aspect is that as long as the marketing is done well, the movie can achieve high box office.
Just like several previous movies, they all relied on marketing to achieve success.
The previous telecom fraud movie directly won nearly 3 billion in box office due to the bonus of hot spots.
This is precisely the current trend in entertainment, that is, many people are beginning to treat movies as commodities. Content is one aspect, and marketing is also another aspect.
Like this time's "Killing Arden", aside from the movie itself, for Meng Yan, this movie is very suitable for marketing.
Even the current marketing of movies is considered very strong.
Meng Yan believes in Ding Chunling's strength. When it comes to hype, Meng Yan is like a younger sister compared to Ding Chunling.
As a result, Meng Yan came to the studio today for a chat and found out that Ding Chunling was not too hyped at all.
As of now, everything is matter-of-fact.
In Ding Chunling's words, she wanted to speculate hard, but Lin Xing kept telling her that there was no need to do so for the time being.
We will wait until the movie is ready and set a schedule.
Good guy.
It’s not like Meng Yan has never dealt in popular movies, and she is still a top-notch one, but this is really the first time she has seen someone like Lin Xing.
Because she knows how to publicize, and she also knows whether the data on the Internet is real or fake.
Just like the sensation caused by the first trailer of "Killing Arden" this time, this is simply not something that can be achieved with money.
This is what everyone is discussing.
The more people discuss, the more followers there are.
Meng Yan looks at the problem from the perspective of distribution. She feels that if the content of the movie "Killing Arden" is really good, then maybe it is really possible to manipulate the box office.
Then I came to Lin Xing Studio today. After Meng Yan watched this movie, she felt that this movie was indeed a literary film and had a threshold for viewing.
But it’s not impossible to give it a try.
Meng Yan thinks that we can set the schedule first, try to screen it on a small scale first, and then cooperate with the publicity to build up the reputation first.
But this will definitely have to wait until the Toronto film. It would be better if "Killing Arden" can get some attention at the Venice Film Festival.
According to Meng Yan’s idea, the film can be scheduled around September 15th. After all, the Toronto Film Festival just ends at this time.
After the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals have ended, it can be released at this time.
The half-month period from September 15th to October 1st generally does not have any blockbusters.
After all, blockbusters will be competing for the National Day release.
Of course, there will definitely be some National Day movies that will be screened.
But this is not important, because "Killing Arden" can also be screened.
According to Meng Yan, it will be officially released on September 15th, and it can be screened on a small scale in the previous few days to gain word-of-mouth.
"You are professionals in this area. I think it's okay. I'll leave it to you to promote the movie."
Lin Xing said to Meng Yan.
Generally, the distribution and promotion of movies are separated, but Meng Yan knows how to promote it, so just leave it to her directly.
"Sister Ling, you can talk to Mr. Meng about the rest."
Lin Xing left the next matter to Ding Chunling.
As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals.
Half an hour later, Meng Yan and Ding Chunling began to discuss the promotion direction of the film.
"Lin Xing and An Yifeng are the main force, but Lin Xing can stop for a moment and promote An Yifeng in reverse."
Meng Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Lin Xing's recent exposure has been a bit too high. You have already helped him refute the rumors, so I think we can stabilize it first..."
Ding Chunling laughed: "We have thought about it together. Next, I am going to promote Magnolia."
Meng Yan was stunned: "Magnolia??"
“Didn’t you see the Magnolia shortlist??”
Ding Chunling said: "A Xing was nominated for Best Actor for "For Whom the Bell Tolls"."
"Hi, I have been busy promoting the movie recently. It's really Didn’t pay attention to Magnolia ”
Meng Yan laughed at this time: "That's just right. Lin Xing's performance in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was really good. I have watched this TV series a little bit. I think if Lin Xing really won the title of "The Emperor", Then it will be more beneficial to the movie..."
In this way, Meng Yan and Ding Chunling have decided on the general direction of publicity.
At the same time, news about "Killing Arden" being shortlisted for the Toronto Film Festival also broke out online.
But it obviously didn’t get much attention.
After all, everyone still cares more about the three major film festivals: Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. They even think that being able to achieve something in these three major film festivals is considered awesome.
But is it really good to win the Best Actor?
Not necessarily.
For example, Xia Lin and Zong Zhilang both won Best Actor in Berlin and Venice respectively, but they are not very popular in China.
That’s why in the industry there are prize competitions and box office. Sometimes you can only choose the same thing.
Up to now, everyone only thinks that Lin Xing simply wants to win awards with "Killing Arden".
In the next few days, the discussion about "Killing Aden" gradually declined.
Because Magnolia is finally coming.
