I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 632 630. Take the bait
When Yang Mi helped him pack his luggage for the publicity run, Xu Xin drove Su Meng directly to Xiying Studio.

With the end of "The Voice", the Xiying Studio became much quieter without the "tour guide" leading the team promoting Xiying culture during the day.

In the entire factory area, there is no one else except for some new employees who came this year to clean up and clean up the household garbage made by tourists intentionally or unintentionally.

When Xu Xin came to the front of the office building, there was a greeting from the cleaning crowd:

"Director Xu."

"Hi, Director Xu."

"Hi, Director Xu."

Xu Xin nodded politely and walked up the steps step by step.

The remaining dubbing of "33 Days" was handed over to Xue Yong, and he only had to come over to review after the dubbing stage was over.

After entering the office building, he went straight to Qi Lei's office.

After knocking on the door and entering, I saw Qi Lei who was holding up the phone and talking about something.

Seeing this, Xu Xin came to sit in front of the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"Healthy competition, what we make is a movie. It is an art work that enriches the spirit of the broad masses of the people. There is no such thing as surpassing or not surpassing."

Hearing Qi Lei's words, Xu Xin's ears twitched.

"The prosperity of the film market is something that all filmmakers like to see. It is precisely because of the diversity of Chinese films that a hundred flowers bloom that they have completely enriched the entertainment life of the people. This is the glory of all filmmakers."

"These excellent movies are evidence of the overall rise of Chinese-language movies. Haha, if possible, I hope that 30 excellent movies will be released at the same time every month, so that the audience will have more choices. The market will also enter a virtuous cycle of competition. "

"...Yes, that's right, this is our attitude. Our competition is a healthy competition among film practitioners. More than anyone else, we hope that the film industry will prosper, and that more and more excellent films will drive the entire film industry The production capacity rises."

"Well, of course. There is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. In the prosperous age of a hundred schools of thought, each school can show what it has learned. This is a great thing. Moreover, directors Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen also came out of our factory. Excellent directors, they are well-known in the world, and they are a business card of Chinese-language films. For "The Hawthorn Tree", they are the pioneers, and the younger generations learn from them. Part of prosperity. Senior and junior, friends, brothers, family.”

"Well...it's okay, and thank you for the interview."

"Okay, not only "The Hawthorn Tree", I also hope that "Orphan of Zhao" and "Let the Bullets Fly" will sell well at the box office, and I hope that more and more filmmakers will contribute excellent works to the film market."

"OK, bye."

The phone hangs up.

Qi Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xu Xin who was smoking on the sofa, he smiled and said:

"Interview with Popular Film Magazine."

"Popular Cinema", one of the most professional and authoritative film magazines in China.

The origin of the "Hundred Flowers Award".

It has been published for more than 50 years.Monthly film magazine endorsed and inscribed by great men.

Xu Xin was not surprised that Qi Lei was able to accept this magazine's exclusive interview.

Just like what he said in the interview, filmmakers are all "brothers", and West Film Studio and "Popular Cinema" are also brothers on some levels.

State-run Well.

So, he made a joke:

"It seems that I'm still not famous enough, why don't you interview me."

Qi Lei smiled and waved his hands:
"In terms of seniority, you can't get in now. Rather than an interview, this is more like a guide than a personal interview."

Xu Xin naturally understood this truth.

What he said can be summed up in Mandarin as follows:
"We use the mainstream media to set the tone first and guide out the entire framework of this matter. All media must operate within this framework and cannot cross the line. As public figures, they must play a positive value-oriented role. This is the case with the movie ", and it is also the case with other media that will receive interviews one after another."

To put it bluntly, I just don't want the media to exaggerate this incident and cause antagonism.

That doesn't work.

Therefore, the person who came out to interview at this time was Qi Lei, not Xu Xin's personal interview.

Of course, this is superficial.

On the surface, everyone is in harmony.

But it's hard to say whether it will knock out the dog's brain secretly.

It is true that you are a state-owned factory, and there are also related households standing behind me.

In essence, box office and awards are still talking.

The greatest effect of this exclusive interview is to prevent the media from fanning the flames and making waves.

All filmmakers should not play any bombardment hype.

Whoever touches this line will die.

So, after hearing this, Xu Xin asked:

"Does this count as a preemptive strike?"

"It can be counted, but it can't be counted."

Qi Lei got up, walked to the sofa, sat down and said:

"It's not that we were rude. Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen sometimes met during the film promotion. Our promotion work started after "The Voice" ended... It's enough to save face. Add everyone If you have a passion, you will give me face, and I will give you face. So... "The Orphan of Zhao" and "Let the Bullets Fly" don't actually need to be considered. No matter how high the box office is, it will not have a big impact on us."

"It's mainly "If You Are the One 2", right?"

Xu Xin was delighted:

"They're still waiting."

"No."

Qi Lei was also happy:
"Otherwise, why would it be released at the same time as you?"

Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, instead, there was a...

How to describe it...

The down-and-out old Eight Banners look down on the nouveau riche.

Yes, that's it.

Pretty much the same.

But the strange thing is that the so-called Eight Banners disciples are the most of the people in the Beijing circle.

But Qi Lei at this moment is like this.

"Feng Xiaogang picked up this year's "Tangshan Earthquake". With this kind of momentum, the Beijing circle has enough confidence. After you got the Silver Lion, they seem to have reacted... It will be impossible if you don't stop us. Ah……"

This is the first time Qi Lei has shown such emotions in front of Xu Xin.

In the past, he always had a smiling face, but today he looked murderous.

But for Xu Xin, Qi Lei like this is more complete.

Thinking about it, it is just a group of harmony, after Mr. Tian left, I am afraid that the group of people below cannot be restrained.

While welcoming people with a smiling face, you must have a knife in your hand.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin asked:

"Did Mr. Tian ask you to do this? Brother Qi, did you contact me?"

"Mr. Tian went to a meeting. He left early this morning. Starting next year, cable TV will start to iterate. It seems... is it going to be connected to the network signal or something. He wants to fight for the TV station of our factory to be placed in a fixed station. go.

After waiting for a year or two, most people's cable TVs have been iteratively completed, and our channel can be seen all over the country.Originally, I was not sure about this matter, and various TV stations were vying for the spot, but this year, our factory's performance is too good, and we are qualified to go up as the first batch of excellent local stations.So he directly handed over the matter here to me. "

Hearing this, Xu Xin felt relieved.

ok.

The backbone of the second in command is also hard.

That's it.

So he said:
"I plan to go to "Interview with Yang Lan"."

Qi Lei was taken aback...

Then he frowned:

"For the "Interview with Yang Lan"... I have to find someone, and I may not be able to make it in time."

"Not our side. I'll be there with a phone call."

Xu Xin said with a smile:

"Simple."

Hearing this, Qi Lei nodded:

"That's fine... Anyway, our propaganda here is mainly based on city tours, basically nothing has changed. Local stations in major provinces and cities have all greeted each other. The biggest advantage of the theme of "The Hawthorn Tree" is Audience. Not only the young people market, but also can resonate with the post-60s and post-70s. And this part of the user group happens to be the largest audience in the TV station market... This trip may require you to work hard."

"It's okay. Change with the same."

Xu Xin smiled and waved his hands.

"Don't be afraid of hard work. The enemy has already hit the door of the house. If you don't work hard and don't risk your life, you won't be able to defend Sabak."

"..."

Qi Lei was taken aback.

Immediately after realizing what "Sabac" is, I can't laugh or cry:
"If you don't tell me, I won't be able to react... I really haven't heard this word for several years."

"Which area?"

"One area of ​​light, a professional mage."

"Hahahahaha..."

……

The meaning of Xu Xin's meeting with Qi Lei today is actually very simple.

Or in other words, it was a temporary idea.

The original plan was that after participating in the "The Voice" finals, he, Liu Yifei and Lin Gou would start to enter the film promotion period.

But when he went to the toilet this morning, he saw the headlines on the front page of the entertainment news. After the so-called "Three Greats Fighting Lu Bu", he felt baffled on the one hand, and wanted to see if there was any new theory in the factory .

After all...don't care if the media is stalking or not, this "thorn" has already been provoked.

But it turned out... well.

Where is the good thing?
Fortunately, West Film Studio holds the pen of the mainstream media.

Mainstream media is the wind, especially in this era of rising Internet media.

The mainstream media has been endowed with the meaning of "supervising" and "summarizing" information.

It is used to prevent some harmful information from flooding on the Internet.

And in this regard... the Beijing circle is a shortcoming.

It's not that they don't know mainstream media or anything...that's almost impossible.Or to put it on the contrary, people don't necessarily know fewer magazines, newspapers and TV stations than you.

But this kind of thing involves a legitimate problem.

Only "brothers" can post messages on this, not private "outsiders".

otherwise……

What do you mean?You, a credible media, are coerced by capital and private companies, and become the mouthpiece of others?
Then this thing is not quite right.

So... There is nothing wrong with what Qi Lei did.

It can be said that it hits the nail on the head.

Moreover, according to the content of the two people's chat, in the next period of time, the West Film Studio...or "The Hawthorn" that appeared in the mainstream media is to encourage the Chinese film market, not to provoke war or confrontation.

"If You Are the One" can't do this.

It doesn't matter who you turn to.

But West Film Studio can do it.

"Put at the point..."

Standing in front of the office building, he looked up at the rare warm winter sun, and sighed with emotion in a low voice.

The line has been drawn.

Then everyone is tossing within a limited range... Then how the box office is, it really depends on its own ability.

Well, I have to talk to Pharaoh.

I don't engage in crossing borders myself, and other people shouldn't falsify my box office.

Let's all play fair and just.

No one should fix those vain things.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone.

"Duddu...Hello? Do you still know how to call me?"

Zhang Wu's laughing voice sounded.

"Haha, look at what you said."

Xu Xin began to "cry out":
"Aren't you busy recently? I want to ask you for a drink, but you don't talk to me."

"Come on this!"

Zhang Wu on the other end of the phone couldn't laugh or cry:
"I was watching you on TV yesterday... Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I want to be on "Interview with Yang Lan"."

Xu Xin didn't hide it, and said directly.

And Zhang Wu's feedback is also very simple:
"Oh, that's easy, when do you want to go?"

"These two days are the best. I'm going to Magic City in the afternoon to start the film promotion. This interview must be done before the release of "The Hawthorn Tree."

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements and tell me before you go back to Yanjing."

"Hmm, no problem."

That's the best way to talk to Zhang Wu.

Simple and crisp.

There is no sloppy link at all.

If you have something to say, just hang up.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin turned to Su Meng, who was swiping her phone with her head down, and said:
"Mengmeng, let's go."

"Oh, okay...Brother Xu, look."

Su Meng suddenly handed over the phone.

"what happened?"

Xu Xin picked it up a little puzzled, and then saw an ID named "He Jun HJ" just posted a Weibo:
"Charm, charm, practice you thousands of times!"

At the same time as posting on Weibo, there was also a photo. In the photo, a girl with a good figure was wearing a cheongsam and posing in a very elegant and enchanting movement in front of the mirror.

Seeing this, he asked directly:

"How many people is this?"

"The fourth one. I saved their Weibo. So far, there are Jiang Jing, Li Xinru, He Jun, and the director Fu Lulu you mentioned, four of them have posted on Weibo. He Jun was the last one to post. Jiang Jing posted the most, including calligraphy, body training, dialect and so on...but basically didn't bring any pictures..."

"He Jun, is this the first one?"

"Yes, the first one. Everyone else has posted it for more than half a month. The first one was Li Xinru's post on November 11, "Get up early, start training, and prepare for the next movie". She is the most popular because she has acted in "Ugly" "Invincible Woman" is Lin Wudi, so many people are asking her what movie it is...I reckon He Jun should have waited and watched for a while, and only posted it when he saw nothing happened."

Hearing Su Meng's words, Xu Xin thought for a while and sent a message to Zhang Mo directly:
"He Jun posted on Weibo, did you see it?"

Zhang Mo didn't reply.

Xu Xin didn't wait, and drove home in Su Meng's car.

When he was about to get home, his cell phone rang.
