Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 387 I'm referring to you

Watching the lights flashing.

Chen Yili clenched his hands slightly behind his back and narrowed his eyes into a line.

After hearing what Zhang Jiazhen said in the morning, some things started to grow wildly in his heart. He immediately decided to fire at his competitors when he got the chance just now. He couldn't let things develop in a negative direction.

The three rivals chose "Raging Fire".

There is a reason too.

From the beginning of the roadshow, that guy Li Luo used all kinds of evil tricks, which made me unable to cope with the situation and I was led by the nose everywhere.

I was already full of anger.

Think about it again.

Compared with the other two senior directors in Hong Kong, Li Luo is obviously a more easily controllable target.

The other party just graduated from Beijing Film Academy one or two years ago.

A complete newcomer.

He has been in New York, Tokyo, Paris and other places for many years, and has the support of Wu Yushen, so he will not be in danger!
The most important thing is that Li Luo has been jumping around during this period, so that not only does he have the most screenings in theaters, but he also has the highest attention from the outside world. This is the most important reason for choosing "Raging Fire".

The benefits gained from pulling with the other party will definitely be the greatest.

Think of this.

Chen Yili clenched his fists tightly.

That's right.

There had been no grudges or enmity between him and Li Luo in the past or present, but now was not the time to dwell on any grudges or enmity; everything was purely about naked interests.

If "Heaven's Mouth" fails at the box office.

For a new director like myself, it would almost mean the end of my future.

Want to be favored by capital again.

Thousands of difficulties!

Chen Yili would never allow that kind of thing to happen to himself, and he was also sure that he had made a good movie. The current scheduling restrictions and all the negative reviews were caused by competition from peers.

"Director Chen."

Another reporter quickly caught the key words and eagerly poked the microphone to the other party's mouth: "I don't know what you mean by the tricks and healthy competition you mentioned?"

Now that the fire has been fired, it might as well be more fierce.

The eyes of reporters.

To be honest, it's a bit scary.

"Ah."

Chen Yili was not ambiguous at all, and said to the microphone: "As we all know, the cinema's film schedule has always been based on the quality of the film in the past two years. Whoever has a better film will be scheduled more, right?"

"but now."

“But it’s more than that.”

"In order to increase the number of screenings, all producers are forced into a vicious competition."

"A month-long marathon road show is necessary."

"That's the only way."

Chen Yili waved his arm and said indignantly: "They can only have a little say in the competition for movie scheduling. In my opinion, this is an extremely unhealthy way of competing."

"The creators and distributors of the drama are trying their best to please the audience."

“All that energy.”

“It’s all spent on one roadshow after another.”

“Look at our actors.”

Chen Yili waved his hand and Sun Honglei dodged it instantly. Then the dense camera focus was fixed on the dazed Li Xiaolu: "Everyone was exhausted and fell asleep while walking."

“And they.”

"We should use our precious energy to share movies with everyone."

A bright light.

It fell on the confused Li Xiaolu with a crackling sound.

The reporters were so excited that their faces turned red. The target of the attack was undoubtedly Li Luo. Among the four movies released in the same period, only "Raging Fire" was shortlisted for the international film festival.

The large-scale roadshow was also planned by Li Luo.

A pair of eyes.

He looked at the director in front of him with interest.

This guy.

It's really brave!
The entire event was actually quite noisy. By the time the distributors and producers of "Heaven's Gate" noticed the commotion, our new director had already completed a wave of fire.

They were not given any time to consider corresponding measures.

The reporters who had gathered together have dispersed, excitedly spreading the information they had just heard according to their own understanding.

joke.

We must find a way to make a fuss.

Otherwise, how can there be any fun to watch.

wrong.

This is my job!

It's not just "Heaven's Mouth" that is currently engaged in promotional activities. The movie is being released in full swing, and at least in the next few days, it must appear more frequently to push the box office higher.

In large shopping malls.

Zhen Ziluan, Louis Koo and others had just responded to the screams of fans, and then quickly adjusted their state to prepare for the interview.

Even though everyone is exhausted physically and mentally right now!

But you have to persevere.

This thing is related to everyone's foundation.

Just as everyone was sitting in a row ready to answer various questions from reporters, they were surprised to see them taking out their mobile phones one after another, followed by a burst of hurried nodding.

On those people's faces.

It's almost written with the words "big news".

Seeing this, the main creators looked at each other and quickly perked up their spirits.

"Director Ye."

One of the reporters didn't even have time to put down the phone before hurriedly handing over the microphone: "Actually, I want to ask about the scheduling of "Flash Point". What do you think?"

"Schedule?"

Ye Weixin asked in return.

He is not a newcomer, and the current situation is obviously wrong.

He would not comment on anything beyond the situation until he knew exactly what was happening.

at the same time.

Huang Baiming, who was sitting next to him, gestured quickly to the staff beside him.

No matter what happened.

The situation must be grasped at the first time.

Fortunately, the reporter did not hide anything and immediately saved them the trouble.

"Is such that."

The reporter calmed down and said to them quickly, "Director Chen of "Heaven's Mouth" said in an interview just now that large-scale roadshows are actually a form of vicious competition, and they use extraordinary means to squeeze out the screenings of movies in the same period."

“It is not conducive to the healthy development of the market. What do you think about this?”

Maliciously buying film reviews to attack opponents.

This is difficult to bring up.

After all, there is no evidence, so the two sides can only compete directly!

This can add fuel to the fire. It would be best if there were a four-way melee, with the film companies that are currently lagging behind launching an attack on the leaders together. That way it would be lively.

Each reporter looked at the creative team in front of them with the utmost energy.

And at this time.

The creative team of "Flash Point" also became excited.

Most of those who can sit in this position are smart people, and it is instinctive for them to obey orders and listen to instructions.

When I heard the words "large-scale roadshow", I immediately knew that the target was definitely the crew of "Raging Fire". Add in the words "vicious competition", and it was obvious that the crew of "Heaven's Mouth" was thrown into disarray by the current results.

Start taking more direct measures!

This is normal.

The box office performance was not good. Apart from the producers, the person who was most anxious and angry was the director.

It just caught everyone by surprise.

Chen Yili actually set his target on Li Luo.

Zhen Ziluan, who was sitting in the middle seat, clenched his hands, and couldn't help but recall the scenes backstage at the Academy Awards when Anthony Wong was so furious with Li Luo that he almost came to blows with him.

He suddenly felt a toothache.

I don’t know where the crew of “Tiantangkou” got the courage from.

Whether it's a verbal argument or a head-on fight, that bastard Li Luo is extremely difficult to deal with.

That director.

Why did you come up with the idea of ​​using the other party as a scapegoat?

"cough!!!"

Before Ye Weixin could say anything, Huang Baiming, who was sitting next to him, covered his mouth and cleared his throat loudly.

This movement.

It also successfully drew attention to the boss of the production company.

"Is such that."

Huang Baiming put down his hands and adjusted the microphones in front of him with a smile: "That is just Director Chen's personal opinion. Please change the question to "Flash Point". Thank you!"

This war.

There is absolutely no way he would be involved.

Even if we are competitors, we are also partners.

The better the performance of "Raging Fire", the more money I will make. The next movie "Ip Man" is also expected to help make money. I must be seriously ill to think of getting involved.

As soon as Huang Baiming said this, the reporters immediately realized that it was a waste of effort here.

Not long ago.

The other party also celebrated with Li Luo in Cannes.

Even if the circle is full of hypocrisy, they won't fall out so quickly, not to mention that the two parties are going to co-produce a movie next, so there is absolutely no chance of causing any trouble here.

The main creators of "Flash Point" saw the regretful expressions of the reporters.

But they didn't say anything.

The big bosses have already set the tone.

Who dares to say no?

But at this moment, not only the reporters, but even the actors' minds are no longer on the promotion site, and they are all full of imagination.

What everyone can be sure of is that Li Luo’s response will definitely not be ambiguous at all.

This summer.

It will probably be even hotter than expected.

The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, making passers-by on the street sweat on their foreheads.

But despite this, many young men and women did not care about the scorching heat at all, and ran quickly towards the large shopping mall not far away. Their energetic steps were filled with the breath of youth.

The hurried footsteps made the sunlight even more golden.

"Hurry, hurry, run."

"The event lasted only one hour, but the traffic jam lasted for 40 minutes. I am really impressed!!!"

Accompanied by hurried words, two girls with red faces due to excitement pushed open the door curtain of the mall and rushed into the sudden hustle and bustle. The scene in front of them frightened them so much that they stopped abruptly.

The mall lobby, which should have been fully air-conditioned, was now as hot as outside.

Everywhere you look, there are huge crowds of people.

The fans and passers-by were all holding up cheering signs, promotional posters, mobile phones, cameras and other items, and were screaming excitedly as the two people on the stage moved.

Li Luo jumped up and gave a mid-air side kick to Zhang Jin on the other side.

A neat suit and shiny leather shoes.

And that handsome figure.

It's just like the warm-hearted and handsome uncle on the big screen, walking into real life so vividly.

It was an extremely impactful scene, and the two girls who had just rushed into the mall suddenly had tears in their eyes. They trembled and screamed as they blended into the crowd, making the temperature here rise a few degrees even higher.

"thank you all."

After landing easily, Li Luo took the microphone and pulled up Zhang Jin who was standing beside him: "Thank you very much to Zhang Jin as well. I'm very sorry that I couldn't give him a character name in the movie, but this is also good."

“Everyone can remember the name of this outstanding action actor.”

"Zhang Jin!"

Patting the mustache man on the shoulder, Li Luo handed the microphone over with a smile: "Say hello to the fans louder and more enthusiastically!"

"Hello everyone."

Zhang Jin excitedly grasped the microphone and bowed deeply to the hundreds of people at the scene: "I am actor Zhang Jin. I am very happy to be able to participate in "Raging Fire". Please buy more tickets to support our movie."

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

The excited cheers from the audience instantly drowned out his voice.

Looking at the palm with a smile on his face.

Li Luo quickly calculated various data in his mind very calmly. There are at least a thousand people here, and each person can bring two or three relatives and friends around them, so the box office here is close to 100,000.

Doesn't sound like much.

But these two to three thousand people can also motivate their friends around them.

It keeps spreading out like this.

That’s a very impressive number.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even happier and he clapped his hands even more vigorously!
The main creators who were sitting in rows at the back also waved happily.

We celebrated our first day’s victory in the morning.

in the afternoon.

Naturally, you have to get busy.

Not only am I busy now, but I also have to visit several key voting cities in the next two days to continue to push this momentum forward. I can't stop the promotion just because I am temporarily in the lead.

Others are chasing with all their might!

After the busy promotion, there was another round of lively signing.

The main creators of the crew.

Finally moved to the interview area.

Sitting in the middle seat as expected, Li Luo took the microphone handed to him by the host in a good mood, ready to share some interesting things during the filming with the media to continue to maintain the popularity of the movie.

Just at this moment, the phone rang one after another.

I just suppressed his voice.

In less than two or three seconds, the reporters started biting him frantically like a pack of wolves smelling blood.

"Director Li!"

"'Heaven's Gate' is experiencing a large number of negative reviews. The film's director hinted that this is due to competition in the same period, which is why it has suffered such unprecedented malicious slander."

"The intensity and level of abuse are extremely abnormal!"

"What do you think of this?"

"Director Li, do you think the large-scale roadshow you initiated is a means of vicious competition?"

"Among them, is this mainly to secure film scheduling?"

“Still trying to please the audience!”

The flood of words from the reporters immediately confused the creators.

Although there are many people and many different opinions.

But Li Luo still keenly heard several key pieces of information in it.

Good mood.

It disappeared in an instant.

Colleagues are enemies, especially movies with the same theme and released in the same period are enemies among enemies. He had thought that everything would not go so smoothly, but he did not expect that a fire would break out on the second day.

And this fire was burning towards himself.

"Raging Fire" is enjoying great momentum right now, and as long as it keeps going this way, the situation will become even more optimistic.

At this time.

Throw a plate of dirty water over.

That would cut off your own source of income!!!

"Stop, stop, stop."

He slammed the microphone to quickly control the situation and looked at one of the reporters: "What did you just say? Paradise has received a lot of negative reviews. Why did you come to ask me for my opinion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gathered reporters quickly became quiet.

And looked at him with a strange expression.

"Come on~"

Li Luo couldn't help but swear.

What's that look? You're bullying me because I'm an honest person, right?
"Come."

He slapped his thigh and stared at the reporter with a sharp gaze: "Don't look at me like that. Everyone knows that I never play dirty tricks. Speak clearly, are you the one fanning the flames?"

When these words were spoken, the reporters could not help but burst out laughing.

Isn't it~
The guy in front of me always likes to play it open and challenge others to fights at any time!
It has now come true.

The social atmosphere is still relatively simple and crude.

They say whatever they want to say openly, and they are very direct in their quarrels, with a simple and rough style. When celebrities have any grudges, they often intervene personally.

Be more subtle.

Start cursing on blogs and various platforms.

The more aggressive ones would just rush into the crew and slap them in the face.

It's a heart-pounding game.

This is not just true in the entertainment industry, it's also true in other industries. A few years later, two big names in the technology circle went to Chaoyang Park to fight, which also became an interesting story.

You know what, when everyone becomes gentle and polite.

Instead, it's less fun.

Li Luo had already gotten used to this style, so he asked the questions quite straightforwardly.

"No."

The reporter was frightened by Li Luo and took a step back. He quickly shook his head and said, "It was indeed the other party who hinted at it. If you don't believe me, ask them. Besides, the hint is not that subtle. It's referring to you!"

"Yes."

Li Luo waved his hand decisively, holding the microphone and said, "Don't hint at it. It's not nice to be so coy. Give him a call and ask him to point it out directly."

"If you don't have the guts, don't imitate others and say harsh words!"

"okay."

"What's next?"

He dealt with the matter in the blink of an eye, exuding a sense of ease and comfort.

The more so.

The more open and honest you appear.

The reporters at the scene burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere just now subsided. Everyone treated this as a fun thing.

“A massive roadshow.”

Another reporter raised his arm excitedly and continued with a smile: "Are you engaging in vicious competition to grab screenings, and at the same time trying to please the audience and squeeze the living space of movies in the same schedule?"

"Yes."

Li Luo didn't even stumble.

"what?"

All the reporters' jaws dropped.

I thought Li Luo would immediately refute me with righteous words, but unexpectedly he just nodded without even thinking.

The main creators of "Raging Fire" and representatives of the distributor such as Zhang Peng all looked at Li Luo in confusion. They were confused for a moment and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"I'm just trying to get a spot, is there a problem?"

Under the gaze of several cameras, Li Luo raised his eyebrows proudly: "If you feel unconvinced, just come and rob me. If you can beat me, I will praise you for your toughness."

"Don't be like a crying baby. Making a fuss is not a skill!"

Reporters.

They all nodded in agreement.

I was even more excited and started sketching in my sketchbook.

"As for pleasing the audience."

Li Luo fired at full force, turning sideways to look at Sheh Shi Man who was sitting next to him: "Sheh, I remember there is a hospital called Qingshan in Hong Kong Island, right?"

"Uh~"

Charmaine Sheh nodded quickly with a strange look on her face.

"Please help me with a business card when you have time."

Shaking his head, Li Luo sighed heavily: "It's really hard to come out and film even in this state. I have to look at it carefully. Is it a problem to please the audience?"

"Hey~"

He stood up again with a smile and asked the hundreds of fans watching from behind: "Dear audience friends, do you like being flattered by me?"

"like!!!"

Waves of screams rolled in.

The next moment, the fans were laughing so hard that they were falling down.

The reporters wrote quickly with strange expressions on their faces, and wrote the word "Qingshan" with some doubts.

"okay."

Li Luo waved his arm and said, "Let's talk about something nutritious, like whether you had soy milk or fried dough sticks this morning. Of course, I have to squeeze the living space of the movies in the same period."

"Why else would I come to the summer vacation? Am I so idle?"

"Hahaha!!!"

The entire interview scene suddenly turned into a mess of laughter.
