Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 31 31. Of course, stockings with holes are more charming than intact ones!
As he spoke, he began to brag about himself.

Isn't this just like an old woman bragging about herself?
Jing Tian, ​​who was drinking soup, rolled his eyes and asked, "And then?"

"We use such high-quality short films as promotional films. Netizens who like to watch movies are not fools. They can tell which movies are good and which are rubbish through promotional trailers."

of course.

Pei Ran had something else to say.

The premise for netizens to distinguish is that the current film promotion methods are not so dazzling. In a few years, after the rise of short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou.

Most films will attract audiences by showing highlights from the movie or shooting behind-the-scenes videos. When fans see the highlights, they will think, wow, this clip is interesting, and then choose to go to the theater to watch the full movie. After watching it, they will come out and curse, "What a shitty promotional video! It only cuts out the most exciting part of the whole movie for promotion!"
The rest is just garbage!

There are also those movies with veteran actors, who record a behind-the-scenes video with the title: "Is this the acting and on-the-spot reaction of a veteran actor?! Director Zhang Yimou was so shocked that he was speechless!"

Pei Ran is well aware of this little bit of shit.

The same principle applies to why he filmed the original skit of The Sound Tuner as a trailer for the movie.

But the difference is that Pei Ran doesn't treat fans as idiots.

The short film I played is from the movie plot, and it is not the only interesting part in the whole movie. The following plot in the movie is still full of twists and turns, and it is still interesting and beautiful.

But Pei Ran also knew that if he did so, there would be a certain risk of failure, but if he didn't do so, the Sound Tuner would be released with a "bad impression" from netizens.

Although the quality of the movie itself is sufficient, they can subsequently inject a lot of water army to reverse the public opinion, and people will follow the crowd, and then the reputation will be restored.

But Pei Ran felt that the risk of not doing so was even more unacceptable to him.

So it’s better to prepare well before the release.

He didn't want his sound engineer to become the second Let the Bullets Fly, which was a typical movie that did not perform well at the box office and received poor reviews when it was released.

As a result, many years later, under the influence of a commentator on the film and television industry, “Did you really understand this drama from ten years ago?”, Let the Bullets Fly suddenly gained a huge number of true fans…

Pei Ran didn't want to earn money that came late.

Because the price of a few will inflate rapidly.

……

Jing Tian is not stupid, and he understood what she meant. "Use a short film to correct netizens' negative impression of the movie, right?"

"so smart!"

Pei Ran laughed and reached out his hand to pinch Jing Tian's cheek, "I'll reward you~"

Jing Tian didn't hide, but just pouted her lips to show her dissatisfaction.

But her appearance made Pei Ran want to pinch her even more.

She might have put on some light makeup, her oval face full of collagen was very smooth and tender, and her already plump lips were covered with oil from chewing, making them look very kissable.

Fortunately, Pei Ran held back.

After all, he still hasn't figured out what Jing Tian means to him.

He just pinched her cheeks until Jing Tian frowned and felt pain. Pei Ran then relaxed and patted her face gently, "Alright, continue to eat your noodles."

Jing Tian’s eyes widened immediately after being slapped on the face.

"You slapped me?!"

"Hey, that's too harsh, this is called sentiment~"

"Hmph, what kind of fun is that? Besides, who would think slapping someone in the face is fun?!" "You don't know this, do you? Some women not only like to slap you in the face, but also like to pinch your neck until you roll your eyes."

"You just lied to me!" Jing Tian muttered, pushing the table in front of her to the corner. She then climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged opposite Pei Ran. "The movie issue has been resolved, but what about other public opinions?"

Pei Ran smiled and said, "Let's not worry about Fatty Fan. She has much more experience in dealing with this kind of public opinion than the two of us. What we need to deal with is only the public opinion about you."

"mine?"

"Yes, I have to apologize to you now. After the launch conference, I did try to deceive you. I wanted to hype up our relationship and divert attention to the sound engineer."

When Jing Tian heard Pei Ran say that he wanted to apologize to her, she suddenly felt uncomfortable... Why was he so rude to her?
Not reconciled.

I am unwilling to always be Pei Ran’s outsider!

Pei Ran didn't know that it was his words that made her even more unable to stop today, and even slowly aroused another side of her buried deep in her heart. She wanted Pei Ran to be less polite to her.

She wanted to be filled with Pei Ran's scent and become Pei Ran's shape. Suddenly, a strange voice rang in Jing Tian's head:

"Make Pei Ran your man, and make yourself his special little thing."

On the other side, Pei Ran didn't know that Jing Tian was coveting him in his heart, and he was still talking, "I have thought of a way to clarify the relationship between us. I will say that we were shooting a short film at the time and signed a confidentiality agreement. We can't publicize it. So I'm sorry for taking up public resources and making everyone misunderstand our relationship."

……

What a standard apology.

Pei Ran was feeling proud of his talent.

"Can you not clarify it?"

Jing Tian suddenly said this.

Pei Ran was stunned. "What do you mean, don't you want to clarify the ambiguous relationship between us?"

"Hmm...hmm!" The first "hmm" was still a little hesitant.

The latter "um" directly expresses affirmation.

Hearing this, Pei Ran asked in confusion: "That will not be good for your future career development. As for the current situation, it is actually best to establish a single persona. You can attract a lot of true fans with your looks."

"I understand, but I don't want to clarify that either."

Pei Ran is neither an idiot nor an impotent man.

He tilted his head back slightly and asked doubtfully, "You are not attracted to me, are you?"

"..."

"You're not dressing so sexy on purpose just because I'm coming to your room to discuss something with you tonight, are you?"

"..."

"Ah? You're not coveting my cow, are you?!"

“Ahem! Let’s not say the last sentence…” Jing Tian lowered her head slightly, her voice full of shyness like a young girl, and her little hands kept fingering the stockings on her crossed legs.

"If I keep buttoning my stockings, they'll tear. What will I do if I can't help myself?"

After understanding Jing Tian's thoughts, Pei Ran started to speak in a bold manner.

"Well... I heard that torn stockings are more attractive than intact ones, aren't they?" Jing Tian raised her head slightly, her bright face flushed, and she looked at Pei Ran with a little infatuation in her eyes, her breathing a little tight, "Or do you want to tear my stockings yourself?"
