Chapter 267 New Film Plan (Part 2)
Liu Qianqian stayed one night again that day. Because Liu Xiaoli was coming back the next day, she went back early in the morning.
Chen Linfeng also has to start busy with his own affairs.
"Crackling Drummer" received a surprise in Venice, and the subsequent release promotion was much easier.
Chen Linfeng’s move of diverting a lot of promotional expenses to the film festival proved to be correct.
Then the rest mainly depends on the operation of Huaying. In this regard, they are completely familiar with it.
The current film promotion model is still relatively traditional, basically focusing on offline promotion, plus media promotion such as newspapers and magazines.
In terms of traditional media, especially film and television media, most of them will give Huaying a lot of face.
Furthermore, "Cracking Drummer" is a work that won the Golden Lion Award, so I don't feel guilty at all when touting it, and the audience still likes to watch it. It can be said to be a win-win situation.
Since Xiao Chen is famous online, there is actually no need to do any publicity.
On the contrary, when Chen Linfeng was promoting it, he specifically emphasized that this movie is more literary and artistic, so that fans who come for him should be mentally prepared.
This strategy is the same as the one used when the novel "Her" was originally released.
On the one hand, it is for word-of-mouth, but it is also for the purpose of better selecting the audience for literary and artistic films.
China Film has prepared 400 copies for the film market.
At first, there were only 100 copies of "Crazy Stone", but it is said that 600 copies will be prepared for the blockbuster "Sign of Destiny" to be released at the end of the year.
From the comparison of data, we can see that this number is neither too much nor too little.
The movie is expected to be released on September 27, one week later than "The Sun Also Rises".
Both films are artistic films, and to be honest, they are not serious enough to compete.
During Chen Linfeng’s return, he mainly accepted interviews from some media.
This time I successfully won the Golden Lion Award. Compared with "Star You", the domestic media seemed less excited.
Of course, this is the result of comparison. In fact, the media's propaganda offensive is still very large.
The Six Princesses all appeared on several commentary programs to talk about the events during the Venice Film Festival, as a foil to "The Explosive Drummer".
During the period, I also invited Xiao Chen to come on the show, which was a great honor.
In fact, the Sixth Princess has always wanted to establish contact with Xiao Chen, but before that, he basically focused on the field of TV dramas.
Now that I have finally entered the film industry, I was even a little surprised for a while.
In the film and television industry, in addition to the movie "Breaking Drummer" being prepared for release, the media is promoting and building momentum.
There is another very hot matter.
"Struggle" directed by Zhao Baogang and starring Tong Dawei, Ma Yili and Shu Chang has finally started broadcasting.
In order to avoid the impact of "Star You", this drama was moved to September. It is obvious that the production team has ambitions for ratings.
As expected, it has gained a lot of popularity as soon as it was aired, and the ratings quickly exceeded 5%.
Because the plot is relatively rare and describes the youthful emotions and struggles of the post-80s generation, many young viewers like it.
In addition, Zhao Baogang, as an important figure in Beijing circles, has great advantages in traditional media and became the focus of the topic for a time.
And now the post-80s generation has gradually entered society, and their voices on the Internet have gradually gained momentum, including the previous "Star You" and the current "Struggle", all of which have the voices of this group of people.
For a time, "Struggle" became an upstart in TV dramas.
Naturally, some people compare "Struggle" and "Star You". After all, they are both popular dramas with urban themes, and the broadcast times are so close.
Then.
“There’s no comparison, it’s a bit bullying.”
“Forget it, there’s a huge gap in terms of cost. After watching "Star You", I feel that other urban dramas are a bit plastic . "
"Indeed, "Struggle" is good, but don't compare it with "Star You". "
Despite what the Internet says, this drama is undoubtedly popular.
Several actors became popular because of this.
After Shu Chang came of age, she went through several dramas in a row and finally secured her position as a first-line actress.
She even called me specifically to express her gratitude, and she looked very happy in her words.
After Chen Linfeng finished the phone call, he felt it was time to start his own project.
Speaking of it, I have actually been preparing for it for many years. I encouraged Shu Chang to attend a film and television school and wanted her to act in this drama.
In the first half of the year, he had already written the script.
Chen Linfeng brought the script to Longlin Company and found Chen's father.
"Dad, you should have read this book, right?"
Chen Shantong took the book and flipped through it.
""Goodbye 1990", that's right, didn't you send me a copy? I've read it all.
I can only tell that it is good, but the young people in the company who reviewed the script looked very moved after reading it. It should be designed more for young people. "
Not really, but Chen Linfeng didn't explain much.
"Okay, I want to start this project and shoot it this winter. "
Chen Shantong had no objection to this. He confirmed, "You should still be the director, right? "
Chen Linfeng nodded hesitantly, "That's right, but not entirely.
I want to recruit another director, and leave the specific preparation and part of the shooting to him. I will be responsible for the other part of the shooting, kimono transformation, and confirmation of the lens effects. "
Chen Shantong said in surprise, "You never like others to interfere in your creation, why do you let others interfere now? "
He asked with interest, "Which director have you fallen in love with? "
"Do you know Director Kong Sheng? "
Chen Shantong recalled it and said uncertainly, "Is he the director of "Crossing Guandong" that was just finished filming at the beginning of the year? ”
"That's him." Chen Linfeng affirmed.
After "Crossing Guandong" is broadcast, people will become famous. "This person wasn't very famous before. If it weren't for the fact that in our "Latent", the female lead Song Jia also worked in "Guandong" and was mentioned to the crew, I wouldn't even remember this person?"
Chen Shantong asked suspiciously, "Is this person very high?"
"Very high, I think Dad, you can win over him?"
This comment made Chen Shantong pay attention to it all of a sudden.
"What level is it?"
"It can be regarded as the highest type in TV dramas. I think he can become the 'Hu Mei' in the future."
"Hiss, your evaluation is really not low."
Chen Shantong said solemnly, "Okay, I understand, I will take it seriously."
"Oh, by the way." Chen Linfeng thought of the news he had heard before.
"Director Kong Sheng just started shooting a drama at the beginning of last month. It is a gift film for the Olympics. It is jointly produced by China Central Television and the Armed Police. We have to wait for him to finish filming before we can contact him."
"I understand," Chen Shantong waved his hand. He was about to make a call. He wanted to find someone to understand the director's experience and background first, so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
Chen Linfeng was absolutely confident in his father's ability to build relationships and was ready to go back without staying any longer.
"Hey, wait a minute." Chen Shantong was just about to dial the phone when he remembered another thing.
"How's your conversation going with that girl Liu Qianqian? She still doesn't want her parents to know?"
Chen Linfeng smiled as he thought of Qianqian's recent remarks.
"She should be open to her mother soon. It's hard to say during the New Year. I should be able to bring her over on New Year's Day so that my mother can get to know him."
Chen Shantong got the news. At this time No longer in a hurry, he waved his hands quickly.
"It's not necessary. It's okay to ask someone to wait for a while. Your mother and I just know that you two are making good progress."
Speaking of which, the Liu family, mother and daughter, are about to have a family meeting.
Liu Qianqian was still embarrassed to explain directly, but first talked about the career positioning issue that the two of them had discussed before.
What I’m talking about is Chen Linfeng’s previous judgment.
"Is that so? Xiao Chen is not very optimistic about you taking the path of winning awards in literary and artistic films. Then has he said how to help you in the future?"
"Mom~" Liu Qianqian was not satisfied. .
"Why do I keep asking Xiaofeng to help me? It's not like I can't get the role myself, so why do I always ask others to help me figure it out."
"You are already theirs, both of you. Why are you still worrying about this?”
Liu Xiaoli hesitated to speak, but in the end she still didn’t say what was in her heart.
She changed her words temporarily, "Okay, forget I was wrong, let Xiaofeng help with the advice, that's no problem, right? Did he say anything later?"
Liu Qianqian shook her head. , "No, I was disturbed by other things later."
"What's the matter?"
Liu Xiaoli suddenly felt like she hated iron. What could be more important than your future career path?
"Uh~" Liu Qianqian suddenly thought of what happened that day, which stopped Xiaofeng from finishing his sentence.
A feeling of shyness surged up in her heart. Fortunately, her acting skills were good enough that she was not noticed.
"No... nothing happened."
Liu Qianqian was trying to hide her sexuality, so she had to change the subject.
Think of the purpose of coming to chat with my mother in the first place.
Her voice suddenly became like a mosquito, and she asked.
"Mom, do you think I am suitable for finding a boyfriend at my current age?"
"Looking for a boyfriend?" The small voice sounded like a thunder in Liu Xiaoli's heart, and she Suddenly startled.
Isn’t there Xiao Chen? Why are you still looking for a boyfriend?
Combined with the fact that Sissi was hesitant in speaking just now, what could cause the topic to be interrupted suddenly.
Could it be that these two people had a falling out?
Liu Xiaoli couldn't care less and pretended not to know anything anymore.
She asked in surprise, "Aren't you in love with Xiao Chen? Why are you still looking for a boyfriend? I never taught you that you can be unfaithful to your boyfriend!"
Liu Qianqian was thinking about what to say next. When she first heard the first half of her mother's sentence, she stuttered.
"Mom, you...you know it all! Huh? No, how could I be unfaithful?"
Liu Qianqian knew there was a misunderstanding and quickly explained, "I said I was looking for My boyfriend is Xiaofeng, no one else."
Liu Xiaoli couldn't laugh or cry, "You kid, please speak clearly, you're going to scare me."
"You're the one who's going to scare me. ”
Liu Qianqian didn't expect that her mother had already known about her affairs.
Then she thought she was hiding things very well these days, and if she still wants to talk to someone openly and honestly today, wouldn't she be like a clown?
She complained, "Mom, since you know this, why didn't you tell me? I have to hide it every day."
Liu Xiaoli nodded her daughter's forehead angrily, " You still have the nerve to hide it from me.”
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the two of them discussed the topic just now.
"What new developments have you and Xiao Chen made? Otherwise, you are so coy, why would you suddenly come to me to tell me the truth?"
How can this mother be so sharp!
Liu Qianqian hesitated and said, "It's nothing, I just felt that I couldn't hide it from you for too long, so I wanted to tell you."
Two young men and women are in love, who knows what they are Liu Xiaoli did not delve into the situation.
She crossed her arms and said, "Now that I know it, when will you call Xiao Chen to your home again and let me meet him? When your aunt and grandma know about it, they will definitely want to get to know each other. ”
"Well, let's wait until we have time. I'll talk to Xiaofeng first."
Liu Qianqian used the dragging technique.
