Chapter 472 Advance Publicity


Chapter 472 Advance Publicity

[Inseparable, just one chapter. 】

Xu Kun was very drunk that night, and by the next morning, he left the capital in the name of going home to worship his ancestors.

After arriving in his hometown, apart from visiting the graves of his grandparents, he just slept in the dark at Zhang Yong's house.

Ordinarily, he is not someone who cannot afford to be fooled. For example, when Huo Siyan asked Lao Yan to fly separately, he didn't think it was a big deal.

But this time I just felt unwell.

That's why he prefers a pure crew couple rather than a relationship.

During this period, Jiang Yiyan, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and other people who were usually positive took the initiative to contact Xu Kun and offered to accompany him, but they were all rejected by Xu Kun.

What puzzled Xu Kun was that Liu Shishi actually made several phone calls and showed an unprecedented proactive attitude.

Xu Kun didn't understand the logic of this at first, but then he gradually understood that the girl in love felt pity and sympathy because she was dumped by Qin Lan.

This made Xu Kun quite dumbfounded.

Although I suffered a little bit of love, there were still seven or eight beauties in the harem around me. How could I become the object of sympathy for the little girl?

Of course, Wang Zhonglei was the one who called him the most during this period. It wasn't that Mr. Wang broke his promise and wanted to take advantage of the situation and become a queen.

Mainly according to the prior arrangement, Xu Kun should start the warm-up publicity of "Operation Kunpeng" at this time.

As a result, he suddenly ran back to the countryside and said he wanted to worship his ancestors. Then the cat didn't move for several days, which naturally made Wang Zhonglei, who was in charge of publicity, anxious.

Later, even Han Sanping from China Film Group called and asked if Xu Kun had encountered any trouble and if he wanted to help mediate it.

Han Sanping probably thought that Xu Kun encountered some trouble that was difficult to solve because of Mu Xiu Yulin.

But it's no wonder that Han Sanping thinks so. Except for the group of witnesses from the 'Teddy Sisters', who would have thought that Xu Kun, a famous playboy, would suddenly be dumped by a woman when his career was reaching its peak. And what about being emotional?

In the end, Xu Kun could only thank Uncle Han for his kindness, and then cheered up and returned to the capital.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in the capital, he fell into various gentle villages again. Women from all walks of life tried to flatter him in different ways. Some wanted to soothe his sadness, and some wanted to fill Qin Lan's vacancy.

Coupled with the rapid promotion of "Operation Kunpeng", Xu Kun almost kept going day and night, and gradually suppressed Qin Lan's matter in his heart.

It’s September 15th.

Xu Kun successfully held a fan meeting + a new movie promotion meeting + a celebration party for being crowned Best Actor at the world-famous Bird's Nest Stadium. During this period, he won the house with his song "Wolf Falls in Love with Sheep".

People praise Brother Kun's voice for being a little rough and off-key, but it seems to have injected soul into the song, and the eardrum-piercing sense of vicissitudes is not inferior to that of Daolang.

Of course, the above praise mainly comes from Ai Kun and Lezi people online.

With the official firing of this shot, the title of "Operation Kunpeng" has also begun to be accompanied by "the movie script predicted the CD crisis", "the new Venice movie star performed with passion", and "veterans show their power abroad", which has a great impact on the country. Propaganda slogans such as "Hymn of Loyalty to the People" spread throughout the country.

Before 2008, this last promotional word was not a complimentary word to many people, but rather a derogatory word.

But in 2008, especially during the period after the Olympics, this main theme of lyrics suddenly bloomed with new flowers, becoming a selling point alongside several others.

At the same time, "Painted Skin" was also heavily promoted, but it was almost breathless.

The publicity strategy of putting the second male lead, Zhen Zidan, in the first place has been ridiculed by many people: Brother Kun wiped out all the stars in Hong Kong Island by himself, but as a result, the three mainland celebrities in "Painted Skin" But he has to praise Donnie Yen, who has the least role and is the least important, to do some publicity. Isn’t it cheap?

It is said that Donnie Yen was so furious about this that he even threw a bottle of 1982 Lafite on the spot.

However, when he was interviewed afterwards, he talked about his friendship with Xu Kun and used the fact that he lent his action team to support "Operation Kunpeng" as evidence.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of others' shortcomings and taking advantage of others' shortcomings. When it comes to the action team, Xu Kun really owes them a favor, so naturally he can only cooperate with Donnie Yen's statement.

So the two people, one from the south and one from the north, suddenly sang "How are you two brothers"?

Then the crew of "Painted Skin" became even more embarrassed.

So on September 21st, the crew of "Painted Skin" suddenly announced that the release would be postponed from September 26th to December 5th. They would rather compete with director Chen's "Mei Lanfang" than with the rising star Xu Kun meets head-on.

This incident immediately triggered a heated discussion both online and offline.

Some people criticized "Painted Skin" for being too cowardly. They should have had a real fight with Xu Kun. How could they just take the initiative to show weakness like that?

There are also those who praise the wisdom of "Painted Skin". After all, it is really difficult for a lion to compete with it now, from the subject matter, cast, popularity...

Anyway, all "Painted Skin" is not as good as "Operation Kunpeng". If you don't get out quickly, are you waiting to be easily crushed to death?

September 22nd.

Four days before the movie was released, Xu Kun flew to Changsha, Hunan to participate in "A Date with Lu Yu" which had just been transferred from Phoenix TV to the toilet.

Compared with a few years ago, "A Date with Lu Yu" is more famous now, but for Xu Kun himself, its weight has actually decreased a lot.

After the routine opening remarks, Lu Datou took the initiative to bring up what happened back then: "Director Xu, seeing you here, I can't help but think of the Double Swords interview back then."

Xu Kun smiled and said: "You mean the episode where the shoe was lost, right?"

"Yes, yes."

Lu Yu covered her mouth and laughed, and the audience also burst into laughter.

Then Lu Yu said curiously: "At that time, I thought you and Hu Ge would come on the show together. After all, you had an advertisement at the time..."

Having said that, the Tide Power 2-in-1 of that year was played on the big screen at the right time.

This, like Sophie's "Domineering side leakage", can be regarded as Xu Kun's classic "dark history" - and it is also the source of the enduring popularity of Xu Hu's CP in the fujoshi circle.

"This ad has been on repeat recently."

Xu Kun covered his face and said: "I can't even see it now - but weren't we poor at that time? Any advertisement that does not violate public order and good customs will be accepted. The house I live in now can be paid off with this money." "The mortgage loan." Lu Yu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then do you think young actors and stars nowadays should pursue artistic achievement first, or maximize profits first?"

"It's best to come together."

Xu Kun shrugged and said, "It's a good time for our group of people to catch up. As long as we become famous, the money we can earn from one advertisement can be worth the accumulation of several years by our predecessors - how much time can it take to shoot an advertisement?" It’s absolutely possible to grab it with both hands.”

Lu Yu shook his head and said: "But now the outside world generally doubts that young actors lack professionalism. Those who work on several crews, those who often ask for leave to shoot commercials, those who act like big names and make all kinds of excessive demands, those who are busy performing acupuncture after being famous...

I heard that some young stars didn't even read the script before joining the set, and only started to memorize their lines after arriving on the set. What do you think of this phenomenon? ”

Uh~

These things seem to have happened to the 'Teddy Sisters', and even Xu himself had a similar experience.

Xu Kun, who felt like he had been hit by an arrow in the knee, immediately shook his head and said: "Actually, some things need to be analyzed in detail. For example, is there such a phenomenon as sharpening a gun in battle? Of course it does, but now it is generally concentrated on some supporting roles. Many people were pulled into the crew temporarily, and they didn’t even get the script until they arrived on the crew.”

Speaking of this, Xu Kun said frankly: "I have encountered similar situations before, and I have encountered them more than once. At first, it was because I had to go to work and eat, and later because I couldn't save face.

Is this good? Of course this is not good! But the problem is that the crew will always encounter various problems. For example, if the actors who have been booked in advance suddenly have problems due to various reasons, the crew is already halfway through filming. You can't stop the crew and let a few actors go. Ten to hundreds of people are waiting for new actors to study the script, right?

If it is an important and main role, it may be worth doing, but what if it is an ordinary role with a medium role?

You know, after the crew saved up, they were burning money every day! Once production stops, the pressure on directors and producers will be unimaginable to outsiders.

And if you wait for this actor to read the script, what will you do if the other leading actors are unavailable? So sometimes it’s a matter of rushing something to the shelves, knowing it’s not appropriate but having to do it. ”

After listening to Xu Kun's long speech, Lu Yu nodded frequently, as if she agreed with his statement. However, after he finished speaking, he pointedly pointed out: "But I heard that some young stars now get the script in advance. But because of their own or the company’s business operations, they don’t care about it, and this situation is becoming more and more common. What do you think of this, Director Xu?”

You can't get over this offending topic, right?

"Is this really true?"

Xu Kun pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, then shook his head and said: "If this is really the case, then you will lose your face! It took the seniors decades to lift this industry from the bottom to the bottom. Our younger generation will not Dare to say that we can continue to move forward, but at least we can’t let it fall back again.”

When Lu Yu heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "I don't know why, although Director Xu, you are indeed a young man, born in the 1980s, but if I hadn't heard you say so yourself, I would always feel that you are different from the young actors nowadays. Not a generation.”

Xu Kun touched his face and said, "Maybe it's because I'm anxious about growing up."

"No, no, no, it's mainly because your temperament is too mature." Lu Yu quickly corrected: "The demeanor and momentum you had when you took the stage to receive the award in Venice were well received abroad. I heard that you were even compared to Liang Chaowei, who won the Best Actor Award at Cannes in 2000."

After a pause, Lu Yu continued: "Speaking of Liang Chaowei, when I was looking through the information before, I found that you actually have one thing in common."

Something in common?

Does it mean Dong Jie?

Xu Kun secretly complained in his heart, but smiled and said: "You don't mean to say that we all had a period of poverty when we were young, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

Lu Yu nodded repeatedly: "Do most actors with superb acting skills need to be tempered to a certain extent?"

"You can't say that."

Xu Kun shook his head and said: "For example, if you play a rich man, it would be more suitable for a rich second-generation actor who may have been exposed to it since childhood."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Isn't it now recognized that the rich ceiling of urban dramas is Meng Hao, who you play? I heard that everyone now calls similar dramas directly the boss drama, or simply 'The Domineering President Falls in Love'" I'm like, is this equivalent to you creating a type of TV series?"

"Haha."

Xu Kun laughed twice, shook his head and said: "You can't say that. In fact, there have been similar dramas before, but they didn't take this as the core gimmick so blatantly, and I simply pierced the window paper."

After talking about this topic, Lu Yu suddenly took out a book from behind and said with a smile: "Before the recording of the program, I accidentally got an autobiography written by Mr. Wang Baoqiang, but half of the content in it was Talking about you

After watching it, the director of our crew laughed and said that if Wang Baoqiang were a woman, this would be the best love letter to you. What do you think of this? ”

Xu Kun laughed loudly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "If he really looked like a woman, I would definitely stay away from him! But this book is very interesting. When it is released next month, you can buy it and read it. There are a lot in it Interesting things that Bao Qiang and I experienced together.”

Lu Yu also asked a lot of questions about the content in the book, such as the first time the two went to be extras and Xu Kun was almost transferred to dig toilets.

After the advertisement for Bao Qiang's autobiography was finished, the topic naturally turned to "Operation Kunpeng".

Xu Kun talked eloquently from the time he set up the project, proclaiming his patriotic enthusiasm to the camera. Of course, he didn't mention that he wanted to eat patriotic rice.

Then the interview returned to Xu Kun's acting experience. With Lu Yu's praise, he recalled how he came step by step from entering the industry to becoming emperor.

Of course, it is limited to improving acting skills, and I don’t want to talk too much about things other than acting skills.

This episode of "A Date with Lu Yu" was broadcast on the night of the 24th, but the response after the broadcast was average. Although everyone recognized that Brother Kun performed very well, contributed some useful information, and his conversation was quite humorous.

But compared to that year's "Four Evil Men", the explosive points of this issue are much lower.

It would be great if the exclusive interview could be changed to a multi-person interview and Xu Kun's opponent could be invited.

But who is Xu Kun's opponent has triggered a controversy in advance.

Those celebrities in Hong Kong Island are definitely not counted. Now the news that Xu Kun is going to open a studio is being hyped in Hong Kong Island. Ying Huang, who has suffered the most, is the biggest promoter.

After much discussion, the person who was finally identified as Xu Kun’s opponent was Wu Kebo of Chengtian Entertainment.

But Wu Kebo immediately jumped out and said: I am not, I don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense!

Moreover, Wu Kebo also mentioned that he hopes to cooperate more with Xu Kun in the future. Chengtian can give what Huayi can give, and Chengtian can give what Huayi cannot.

Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, it clearly highlighted Xu Kun's current momentum.

On September 25, the day before "Operation Kunpeng" was officially released, Xu Kun won the second best actor in his life - the Popular Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor.
