I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 671 668. The Kingdom Comes to North Korea
Xu Xin turned his head, looked at Su Meng and asked:

"what did you send?"

"It flashed just now. I didn't see it clearly. It seemed to ask if you were busy."

As she spoke, she walked over and handed the phone to Xu Xin.

On WeChat, a message shows:
"Are you there? Are you awake? I have something to ask you."

Seeing this, he replied with a question mark.

Then Liang Bingning replied with a voice:
"Have you set a date for "The Piano" in March?"

Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right, several films in Yindu will be shown in April, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Fast and Furious" will be released in May, so it will be arranged in March. What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you. Just now, the editor-in-chief of Sohu's entertainment sector, who I have a good relationship with, called me. What I told me is that Sohu's emphasis on film promotion and marketing in March "Avalokitesvara". The focus is on rendering "Avalokitesvara" won an award at the Tokyo Film Festival. After the publicity starts in March, there will be two consecutive editions of promotional recommendations, as well as online promotional programs."

"Then someone reminded me that "The Piano of Steel" is also on this month, should I send out an invitation? The meeting rejected it, which means that "Guanyin Mountain" is being pushed hard this month, and the weight of "The Piano of the Steel" is very average. This is the content of their internal meeting. The editor-in-chief has been with me for many years and gets along very well, so he specifically told me about it."

"Now I'm asking for the publicity plan for "Guanyin Mountain". But I feel that something...is not quite right. But I can't tell what's wrong, so I'm here to tell you."

"What I think is wrong is that yesterday, the people from Laurel also confirmed the itinerary with me, and asked me if I have any movies to film in the beginning of the year. I definitely want to participate in the promotion, but they specifically asked me about this matter, I It's kind of weird."

A series of four voices came over.

Xu Xin frowned.

The good mood has dissipated.

After thinking about it, he replied:

"You have to publicize the plan first, and see how well the publicity is going this time."

"Is there something that needs to be guarded against? When you say that, I feel more and more wrong."

Seeing this message, Xu Xin didn't rush to reply.

Instead, he quickly went through all the possibilities in his mind and said:

"Try to be cautious in your words and deeds when promoting. Especially when you are asked why you don't make movies in the factory...be more careful."

After Xu Xin sent this message, Liang Bingning sent a text message:
"You mean someone will instigate it?"

"Prevent problems before they happen."

Liang Bingning was not replying.

Xu Xin continued to hand the phone to Su Meng.

Let her keep replying to those messages.

At this time, Su Meng asked:
"Brother Xu, do you want something to eat?"

"Need not."

He shook his head.

An empty stomach is more conducive to thinking.

He simply poured himself a glass of water, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the not-so-bright morning sky, squinted his eyes and fell into thinking.

After drinking a glass of water, Liang Bingning also sent a message.

Su Meng handed over the phone again.

"That's right, all the answers are over."

"it is good."

Xu Xin nodded, and pouted at Su Meng:

"Go and rest, let's have lunch at noon."

"Oh, alright."

The little assistant exited the suite.

Xu Xin also turned on Liang Bingning's voice:
"I'll let Yingying finish the plan."

Then there are a few pictures of the electronic version of the proposal.

The characters are very small, and it is quite difficult to operate after zooming in.

But it can be vaguely seen that the activity number 1 will start on February 2th.

1. Sichuan Channel "Entertainment Focus" - February 2 at 15:14.

2. iQIYI's "Entertainment Headlines" - February 2 at 16 am.

3. Sohu Entertainment Interview --- February 2th at 16:15 pm.

Xu Xin roughly read one itinerary after another, and then at the bottom, he also saw VCR recordings including but not limited to Hunan, Southeast, Fenghuang, and various unfamiliar entertainment news that he had heard and never heard of, or Propaganda slogan.

The content has been edited, and it is all "Hello, viewers and friends of XX Entertainment, I am Liang Bingning, and the movie "Guanyin Mountain" starring me will be released on March 3rd."

At the same time, the timing of the movie promotion is also very weird.

Starting from February 2th, the publicity plan before the film's release took up 15/3 of the space, but after the film's release, there were even more.

It lasted until March 3, which is the end of the most golden week of the movie, before it stopped.

Xu Xin is not a layman who has never promoted a movie.

And seeing this kind of dense publicity schedule, the first reaction in his mind instantly was, did he treat my Aunt Liang as a donkey?

This is simply the same as when I promoted "The Hawthorn Tree".

Numerous itineraries, announcements, broadcasts and the like come in turn.

Too much to explode.

Basically, two announcements a day are spread layer by layer.

This kind of work intensity...Xu Xin experienced it in "The Hawthorn Tree".

Not just tired.

He frowned, and clicked on Liang Bingning's voice:
"This amount of work... is the most promoted for my film in the past two years."

"Xu Xin, should I ask Lao Lei's people what's going on? Why are there so many?"

"I have a hunch... not so good. Can you tell me what's going on here?"

Three consecutive voices came over.

But Xu Xin didn't rush to reply.

Instead, he fell into thinking again.

But Liang Bingning didn't want to wait any longer, seeing that he didn't reply, she called him directly.

"Hey?"

After Xu Xin connected the phone, the first sentence Liang Bingning said was:

"There is no one around me, and Yingying has gone out too."

"Uh... well, where are you?"

"Modu, there are a few commercials to shoot."

"Start work so early?"

"Oh, I didn't call you just to chat. What's going on? Even if "Guanyin Mountain" won the best actress, it wouldn't be possible to use me as a donkey, right? I haven't called Li Yu yet. , if you didn't ask first, I would have to ask them what they are going to do!"

There was more anxiety in Liang Bingning's voice:
"Also, what you said just now... let me be cautious in my words and deeds. I thought about it...I am not afraid of being provoked by others, but I am afraid that people in the factory will think that I am cheating..."

"I know. That's why I told you so."

Xu Xin responded.

A cigarette was drawn from the pack.

Only nicotine could clear his mind now.

"I'll tell you something, don't tell anyone else."

"it is good."

"It's like this, during the promotion of "The Hawthorn Tree"..."

After stating his guess, he continued:

"The file change of "Wulin Biography" is because of this. After guessing that there is such a possibility, I want to see if people in the Beijing circle really want to fight against us. So I changed "Wulin Biography" from January to In February, have a touch with "Jiang Ai"."

"..."

Liang Bingning on the other end of the phone was shocked when she heard this, and whispered:

"Your guess has come true. The maximum production of the film "Will Love" will not exceed 4000 million, but its promotion now costs a lot of money. At first I thought it was going to eat the dividends of Valentine's Day, no think……"

"For now, yes."

"Then what should I do now? ... Should I push it?"

"do not."

Xu Xin hurriedly stopped this sister... Aunt.

Not that he was afraid of being exposed.

But for the sake of the other party.

Actors have to cooperate with publicity after making a movie, which is written in the contract.

Don’t worry about whether the promotional itinerary is reasonable or not, even if it’s unreasonable, for example, you’re late for the show you’re supposed to be at, or you didn’t catch up... then as long as it’s not for personal reasons, it’s the weather, or the lateness of the last show, etc. Unexpected factors, then no one will really say anything about her.

On the contrary, if such a thing really happened, the movie would suffer the loss.

After all, some movie fans came to see their favorite stars for a certain event, but the stars didn't show up... Once this happened, it would be a loss at the box office for the movie.

In the early film promotion, the most taboo thing is some disturbances.

Because that will affect the audience's desire to buy tickets.

But if it's because of the actor's personal reasons...that's really a taboo.

This is Yide.

After filming, do you think everything will be fine?

These promotional activities have gone wrong due to my own reasons, so how will other people find you to film in the future?

The impact on the career can be large or small, but it shakes the foundation.

So it definitely won't work.

However, Liang Bingning at this time did not have that "confusion", but maintained a very focused specificity:
"Don't worry. It's easy to talk about this matter. There are a lot of advertisers behind me who are begging me to speak for me. Just take a few of them during the promotion period. At worst, the price will be lower. When the time comes, it will be said that it has been set in advance, and then I will post it. Conflicting schedules will naturally be fine..."

"unnecessary."

Although her reason was barely plausible, Xu Xin rejected her again.

"Oh, I told you not to worry..."

"No, let me think about it first."

Xu Xin interrupted her words and fell into deep thought again.

But this time, he was silent for a long time.

Continue until the cigarette is exhausted.

And when one cigarette was finished, he lit another.

Obviously, the "strength" of this cigarette is not enough.

There is no way, because he often went out to eat and drink with Xin Haicheng, he had already used up all the cigarettes he came here this time.

Makoto Shinkai doesn't smoke...but he drinks.

When a man drinks, whether he brags or smashes his mouth, he always has one in his mouth.

Or say that people are delicate.

The restaurants I chose were all high-end restaurants where smoking was not allowed, except when I was not familiar with them at the beginning.But as the relationship got closer, he also saw that Xu Xin liked to be down-to-earth, and the people he took with him were some common people's canteens or izakayas.

The smoke is very fast.

And if he ran out of domestic ones, he could only buy Seven Stars from Japan.

Seven Star also distinguishes the content of nicotine.

It varies from 0.1 to 1.0MG.Different content has different taste.

He can't accept the 1.0, and the 0.8 is just right... The only disadvantage is that it is not as easy to draw as Zhonghua.

So the addiction to smoking increased unconsciously.

After lighting one again, he said:

"You can take over all these jobs. You can cooperate as you like."

"……what?"

It can be heard that Liang Bingning's voice is full of surprise:

"All? Then..."

"I will let the factory cooperate with you. Not only to cooperate with you, but also...to help you promote it."

"...???"

Liang Bingning's first reaction when she heard this was:

"Xu Sanjin, are you crazy?"

In desperation, a crappy Shenmu-scented accent came out.

Xu Xin was directly amused:

"Hahahahaha..."

Is he crazy?

Actually do this kind of thing that "the relatives hurt the enemy and the enemy is happy"?

not at all.

"……sister."

With an increasingly uncomfortable title, he said with a smile:

"The movie "Guanyin Mountain", it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the leading role alone, right?"

"……Um."

"Isn't that the end? Everyone is looking at you, and you are a member of the factory. How can your family not support your family?"

He felt more and more feasible that the idea in his mind was feasible, and his tone became lighter:
"I understand what you mean, but you have mistaken one essential thing in this matter. That is... the schedules of "Guanyin Mountain" and "The Piano of the Steel" are staggered. "Guanyin Mountain" comes first, "The Piano of the Piano" is next. There was a gap of more than half a month between the two of you."

"……what do you mean?"

"My point is very simple. If my idea is really followed, then "Guanyin Mountain" should be filled with real money. After all, spending money to run publicity is cheaper than the "stupid methods" you sent. It's much simpler, but also much more effective. So...Unconsciously, I was thinking, knowing that the two movies are staggered in time, why do they still do this..."

"why?"

"Because of you."

Xu Xin was smoking a cigarette, his eyes were narrowed by the smoke:

"A person who is in the West Film Studio, but is crazy about a movie in the Beijing circle. Although Luo Lei is not the core of the Beijing circle, his identity is here. This kind of publicity plan is not up to you or Li Yu.

People's identities are clear, and your identities are also clear.

We all know that "Hawthorn" and "If You Are the One" hit the brains of the dogs, and in the end "If You Are the One" "won".

And after the beginning of the new year, "Wulin Biography" and "General Love" have sex again... At this juncture, a movie in the Beijing circle has entered the intensive promotion period 18 days in advance, and you, Liang Bingning, are the most aggressive.

For this movie, I am willing to be the third mother... Tell me, whether you are a spectator or an audience, what do you think? "

"..."

Liang Bingning was silent.

It was unusually quiet.

After about two or three seconds, she asked:
"These...are you just thinking of it?"

"Yes."

Xu Xin responded.

But he didn't mean to boast, he just said:

"Some things have found clues, the slightest sign...then you have to plan ahead. Otherwise, you will not feel at ease. So...you don't care about this matter, leave it to me to operate, and you can follow their publicity plan. You The situation is special, sister, I need you to walk in front of everyone, and to be a beacon to those who are still fixed by circles and factions. So, you can go forward with confidence and keep an eye on the road ahead. body……"

Speaking of this, Xu Xin paused, and said:
"With us."

"..."

Liang Bingning was silent again.

After a few more seconds, she asked:
"Then...do I need to do anything?"

"You don't need anything. Just take care of yourself...you can do it yourself. I promise to make this matter beautiful for you. As for the specifics...let's talk about it when we meet later. International calls are quite expensive."

"...The phone is free? Shall I pay you?"

"Hahaha, no need. Okay, let's just say that, I'm thinking about it myself, so I'll hang up first."

"……Um."

The phone hangs up.

There was a smell of smoke.

Liang Bingning turned her head, but what she saw was the middle-aged man's smile as cheerful as drinking ice in summer.

The color of his face had already turned purple due to excitement.

It is like a stubborn stone standing by the Yellow River in northern Shaanxi.

And that excited smile only represented one emotion.

That was the unparalleled satisfaction that the old father felt after seeing his son excel.

Liang Bingning was stunned...

The doubt and irritability on his face gradually disappeared for some reason.

She laughed too.

……

"Hey, busy people, international calls are very expensive, please hurry up if you have any instructions."

Hearing this, Xu Xin was delighted.

"What? Brother Qi wants to pay my phone bill?"

"Hahaha, pay it, pay it now. After I make an application, the accountant will approve the money in a while, and I will pay it to you... Don't say that my brother is stingy, the wife at home is strict, and private money is a good thing for the New Year." It's all over. The landlord's house has no food left..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Listening to his jokes, I really can't figure out that the man who will be the designated successor of Xiying Film Studio in the future should spend "private money", Xu Xin was successfully poked at the point of laughter.

He laughed, and Qi Lei laughed too.

With a smile, he asked:
"What's the matter? Is there anything I can't chat on WeChat?"

"It's not good to say on WeChat. It's like this..."

After repeating what happened just now, Qi Lei suddenly became silent.

After about ten seconds, the voice over there said strangely:

"How did you make sure they were here for Liang Bingning?"

"It's not a certainty, but a guess. Be prepared..."

"..."

"Why don't you talk again?"

"No... I'm just feeling emotional."

"What are you feeling?"

"Your brain..."

There was more envy in Qi Lei's tone.

"It's a pity to be a director."

In his opinion, Xu Xin's talent is self-evident.

But even more commendable...or "rare" is this top-level sense of smell.

If he had this sense of smell... Although it is a bit unkind to say this, he must have run... in another direction with all his heart.

He didn't even turn his head back.

But Xu Xin didn't answer his words.

It would be inappropriate to say more at this time.

He just smiled and said:

"So, I have a plan...a vague plan."

"How blurry?"

"Know the direction, but don't know how to implement it."

"What is the direction?"

"..."

Xu Xin was silent again.

Silently, he went through his plan completely in his heart, and after making sure that there seemed to be no problem in all aspects, he said directly:
"The direction is, in our homeland, we will strongly support Sister Bingbing."

"Ok?"

Qi Lei's voice was full of puzzlement:

"Great support?...meaning...helping people in the Beijing circle to publicize?"

"That's right. But it's not to help them promote, but to support Sister Bingbing."

If someone else said this, Qi Lei would definitely think that the other party was crazy.

Isn't it... brainless?

Loved ones hurt enemies fast?

But the person who said this was Xu Xin...

He had to think.

Consider the difference between the two.

And Qi Lei himself is not stupid.

A fool cannot sit in today's position.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood what Xu Xin meant:
"There is no conflict between "The Piano of Steel" and "Guanyin Mountain", because the other party is promoting it. Unless "Guanyin Mountain" is changed,... when "The Piano of Steel" started to be promoted, it has already been released! It has an impact on us No big deal. And they want others... or we feel that Liang Bingning is a mess, but as long as we show support for her, no matter whether it's in the factory or outsiders, we can't find any faults. At the same time... we can share How about the credit for "Guanyin Mountain"?"

"BINGO."

Xu Xin let out a satisfied sigh.

really……

Compared with Brother Qi, Sister Bingbing is still too immature.

"That's why I said, I don't know how to support it specifically. But it's best...to be more affordable. For example, to place advertisements in our local area...Sister Bingbing is Wu Meiniang. You don't need to go outside to promote it, you just need to be in It is enough for our province to show an attitude.

If we support it, others must support it.And our own people will not feel that when we look at her, we will think that she is picky.

And, I told her that too.I want her to be a lamp that attracts others, so that everyone can see that she can take all the resources in the entertainment industry with us!If she can, so can everyone else!
At the same time, this is the biggest difference between us and the Beijing circle..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xin chuckled:
"Ha, it's time for the big guys to take a look. Only my Sanqin Fertile Land's prosperous Tang spirit can recruit talents and attract all nations to come to court!"

Sow discord?

No need to pick.

Let's do it ourselves!
　Happy Saturday, big friends.

May you stay virgin and smile to the world (hehe)
