Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 180: Is it still necessary to work hard on this?
Although Xu Ming takes the role he plays very seriously.

But it was obvious that Han Sanping did not have high expectations for him, or the roles were evenly distributed among everyone and he had no chance to perform at all.

In just one week, I had finished filming most of my scenes.

And this time on the crew, everyone's attitude towards him has obviously risen to a higher level.

Even Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who he doesn't get along with will give him a professional fake smile when they see him.

For example, Zhang Zhen who played Chiang Kai-shek.

It’s hard to imagine what the other person was feeling when he played this role.

"Cut, this one passes."

"Congratulations to Xu Ming for finishing the film."

Han Sanping's voice came from behind the monitor.

Everyone applauded out of respect. During this period, big names would finish filming from time to time.

If Xu Ming hadn't been so popular recently, they wouldn't have had the heart to applaud.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will retreat first and wait for your triumphant return." Xu Ming said with a smile.

Zhang Zhen on the opposite side suddenly smiled and said, "We may have a chance to meet again in the future."

"Ok?"

Xu Ming was puzzled.

"You should know soon." Zhang Zhen looked mysterious.

Damn, the most annoying riddle man.

Xu Ming was too lazy to think about it and said goodbye to Liu Ye, Zhang Yi and others with whom he had acted opposite.

When it was his turn to say goodbye to Han Sanping, he was stopped by the latter.

"When do you plan to start filming the scene with Ning Hao and Jiang Wen?" Han Sanping asked.

At first, the project of "Nobody" was not ranked high in China Film Group Corporation. In the latter's view, any investment below 100 million yuan is not considered a big production, and there is no need to pay attention to it.

However, as Xu Ming's fame grew, the success of "So Young" made this drama more important to him.

"Let's wait until Director Jiang finishes working on Let the Bullets Fly. He is fully focused on this play now." Xu Ming said.

In fact, the filming could have started earlier, but he had to do a lot of things one after another and had to join the crew of "Fleet of Time" right away.

Naturally, it can only be postponed.

Fortunately, Ning Hao and Jiang Wen were lazy by nature and didn't think anything of it.

"Okay, the start time has been set, remember to notify me." Han Sanping nodded.

"Got it."

Xu Ming agreed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "By the way, Uncle Han, I have something else to report to you, which may be related to China Film's business in the future."

"Speak." Han Sanping said.

"We, Qiming, Penguin and Sohu are planning to jointly create an online ticketing website. Our initial business will focus on movie tickets and concert tickets."

As Xu Ming explained, he observed the other person's expression.

Before 12306 came out, online ticket purchasing was still a new thing, and it was hard to say whether the other party would accept this concept.

"If I understand correctly, it means adding an online ticket sales channel for theaters, right?" Han Sanping frowned.

"Yes, we try to make the data change in real time so that the film scheduling can maximize profits and also prevent the audience from coming with high interest and leaving disappointed." Xu Ming nodded.

"Then this website should take a commission from movie tickets, right?" Han Sanping went straight to the point.

"Of course, we have to pay for the server and other expenses of our platform, but we not only provide real-time ticket purchases, but also cooperate with theaters to do activities such as pre-ordering movie tickets and movie distribution."

Xu Ming paused, "After all, only when the cinema chain is profitable can we survive."

But there are a lot of twists and turns here, so there's no need to discuss it in detail with the other party.

Pre-order movie tickets?
Han Sanping raised his eyebrows. This was the direction he had always wanted to work towards.

It’s just like the Hong Kong movies in the past, where the trailers were sold before the films were even finished.

As long as it is well controlled, it will have a catalytic effect on the market.

After all, who doesn’t want to pocket some money before the movie is released?

"Well, then you can send me the cooperation plan between this website and the theaters. If it is really helpful to the film market, I am not a conservative person." Han Sanping said in a deep voice.

Xu Ming was delighted, but said calmly, "Okay."

As long as you can impress the other party, the difficulty of promoting online ticket purchases can be reduced by at least half at the theater level.

For many things in China, success or failure is not only determined by the market, but administrative intervention also plays a big part.

"Well, go ahead."

Han Sanping paused and added, "I may not be able to spare the time on the day of the Hundred Flowers Awards, but as I said, what belongs to you is yours."

"I see. My main concern is participation."

Xu Ming responded seriously. He felt reassured after hearing the other party's words.

At least you don’t have to worry about being a dark horse.

Han Sanping was stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand unhappily, signaling the other party to "get out" quickly.

If this guy is only interested in participating, then what are the others? Is it just a wasted trip?
……

10 month 16 day.

Bulk Jiangyin Province.

The hotel where Qiming Entertainment was staying was in chaos.

"I rented clothes for you, so hurry up and put them on. Also, be careful with your watches and jewelry, they are not cheap."

Xiao Yuan urged the artists in the company and continued, "Thank Brother Ming. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even have a chance to rent for free. You would have to spend thousands of dollars to attend a party."

This is also the reason why many small artists are still struggling financially even though they earn a lot compared to ordinary people.

It also costs a lot of money to maintain a decent appearance.

And these are just tickets to the world of fame and fortune.

"thank you boss."

Everyone was shouting at the same time, and they couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.

This was also their first time attending an event in the entertainment industry such as the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Not to mention the haute couture of high-end luxury brands, most of which are the main items of the season that have not yet been released. Even if you have money, you can't wear them whenever you want.

"It's just one set of clothes, just don't ruin them on purpose. Don't be too restrained, or you'll look petty."

Xu Ming said this as he casually rolled up the sleeves of his Armani suit and motioned for the stylist to put on his watch.

When everyone heard the boss's words, their originally cautious actions gradually became natural.

There is a difference between having a backer and not having one.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan was helpless and changed the subject, "After walking the red carpet, remember to stay in front of the media for a while to take pictures. Mr. Tang has been in contact with Armani for some time. When you win the Hundred Flowers Award, maybe you can negotiate an endorsement for Greater China."

When she mentioned this, she looked very proud of it.

High-end luxury endorsements can greatly enhance the status of domestic artists.

Especially in 2010, there were only a few people in the entire Chinese entertainment industry who were qualified.

Xu Ming is not interested in so-called high-end luxury endorsements.

The booming domestic market in the past life made high-end luxury endorsements almost a wholesale occurrence, and as long as the brand was popular enough, it could be won.

Like the red carpets at major film festivals, they are also quite impressive in the country.

Fan Bingbing's appearance in the dragon robe attracted a lot of attention.

Later on, as more and more internet celebrities appeared on the red carpet, people realized that they were just like that.

With the development of national strength, too many things that the Chinese people once admired have been disenchanted.

……

Everyone changed their clothes.

Go downstairs and take the car arranged by the organizer to arrive at the convention and exhibition center.

As soon as we arrived, we heard waves of screams from fans.

"Huang Xiaoming! Huang Xiaoming!"

"Bai Jing! Bai Jing!"

Xu Ming opened his dozing eyes and looked out the window, "Which crew is in the car in front of us?"

"It's hard to say." Xiao Yuan shook her head. There is also a rule for the order of going on the red carpet. Generally speaking, the later the red carpet is, the more famous the crew is.

As for the ranking of the artists, it depends on the seats they sit in.

It is difficult to rank the celebrities in the same row, but a difference of one row means that in the eyes of the organizer, there is a difference of one celebrity level on both sides.

For example, at the Weibo Night in 2018, Peng Yuyan in the second row swapped her seat with Li Bingbing in the first row.

The latter simply stood backstage in her high heels for the entire show and refused to take a seat.

But the answer was soon revealed.

The main creative team of "The Siege of the City in October" got off the car in front.

But people like Zhen Zidan and Xie Tingfeng did not come, while Wang Xueqi, Liang Jiahui, Li Yuchun and others left.

Xu Ming smacked his lips. The organizer really gave him face.

The fact that he could rank "So Young" behind the other one shows how popular he is at this time, which probably scared a lot of people.

Wait until they get off the bus.

As soon as the car door was opened, he jumped out and helped Ni Ni and others like a gentleman without waiting.

Then I heard overwhelming shouts coming from behind me.

"Xu Ming! Xu Ming!"

"The only love of my life is Ming."

"You are obviously in my heart."

When Xu Ming heard the corny cheering words, he felt stunned as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

It's so fucking shameful! Can't you come up with some culturally-sounding words of support?

On second thought, it's also my own fault.

He had previously specifically instructed the people in charge of the fan club to make the cheering messages easy to understand and catchy.

The only thing he didn't consider was the feelings of himself, the real owner.

However, Xu Ming's words of support, which made him feel ashamed, made everyone in the car envious.

If they were treated like this, they would be so happy.

Almost all the noise in the venue was drowned out by the voices of Xu Ming's fans.

After the fan-washing caused by the recent dispute between Xu and Chen, the fans who remain are all die-hard fans.

Under their leadership, the newly joined fans are also quite powerful.

At least on the Weibo platform, Xu Ming's fans are ranked first in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Let's go. What are you standing there for? Get out of the car."

Xu Ming urged Ni Ni and others to get out of the car quickly. It would at least not be awkward if they had someone to accompany them.

The crew of "The Besieged City" who were walking on the red carpet all smiled bitterly.

As seniors, they are only too used to the fact that the new generation always pushes the old generation forward.

Li Yuchun, on the other hand, was quite accustomed to this scene.

Her popularity was the same in the finals that year, but her popularity has gradually faded in recent years.

Her fan base is also notoriously peculiar.

They are hardly ever seen at ordinary times, but when Li Yuchun attends an event, they all appear one after another.

The crew following behind "So Young" had different expressions when they heard the noise outside the car.

They all knew that tonight everyone would only serve as Xu Ming's foil.

For others, the award results are still uncertain, but for that person, this trip is just for the coronation.

"I'm sorry, I made it difficult for you."

Zhou Xun belatedly apologized to Chen Kun.

She also didn't expect that her action of canvassing votes for Chen Kun would actually lead to Xu Ming's ultimate evolution.

They have only seen this kind of momentum in K-pop idols.

But Xu Ming's base is much more stable than those fast-moving consumer goods idols.

He has good looks, talent, and works, and now he is so popular.

It's simply a hexagonal warrior.

If I have to point out my shortcomings, it is that I have few works and little experience.

But these can be made up for with time.

"It's okay. This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me for not being as skilled as you." Chen Kun shook his head and consoled him, "I don't need a Hundred Flowers Award to prove myself."

In fact, he himself knows best whether he lacks it or not.

Simply cannot win.

On the other side, the crew of "So Young" has already reached the end of the red carpet.

Xu Ming felt unnatural at first, but after walking a few more steps he began to relax and occasionally posed for the photographers on both sides.

By the way, he also took a group photo with Ni Ni, Jing Tian and others.

Treat the red carpet as a runway show.

After answering the reporters' questions and leaving the stage to newcomers like Ni Ni, he moved towards the people he knew.

"Hey, Uncle Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown a lot taller." Xu Ming greeted Jiang Wen with a smile.

I haven't seen each other for a while, and I feel close to each other when I see his big stubble.

"Try to spend every day in the editing room. How can you have the time to shave? I only take time out to attend the film festival."

Jiang Wen replied unhappily, and then said: "The movie is scheduled to be released on December 12th. Two months later, please spare some time to help me support the show."

After he finished speaking, he even laughed: "I didn't expect that I could still make money from paying you so much."

You have to know that when Han Sanping first recommended Xu Ming to come to him.

He was quite reluctant, as he felt that this troublemaker's presence would easily affect the progress of the filming.

Later, considering that Zhou Runfa's pay had dropped significantly, he gave this guy a share of the profits.

Even before the movie was released, the other party's net worth has increased several times.

At least nowadays, it is difficult to invite Xu Ming to play a supporting role, no matter how much money you pay.

"Okay, let's go with each other."

Xu Ming agreed immediately and said, "Boss Han asked when the filming of 'Nobody' will start. I told him that it will start at the beginning of next year. You have to make time for it."

"Don't worry, I'm more punctual than you." Jiang Wen said.

The two were talking and preparing to take their seats, only to find that the organizer had arranged them together.

"Hey, you can even sit next to me. The organizer really knows how to treat people well." Jiang Wen said.

"Is it possible that you are out of fashion? That's why there are not many big names here? Otherwise, you have to sit behind me." Xu Ming retorted.

The scene of these two men together caught many people's eyes with complicated expressions.

Monsters can still play together with other monsters.

By the way, when Jiang Wen was 24 years old, he won the Best Actor Award at the th Hundred Flowers Awards for his role in "Furong Town".

"You should be the Best Actor winner at the Hundred Flowers Awards this year. If you work hard, you might be able to win it again next year." Jiang Wen whispered.

He did not achieve this accomplishment. He won twice, in 87 and 89, with a gap in 88.

Well, the Best Actor award that year was won by Zhang Guoshi for his role in Old Well.

"Does this require hard work?" Xu Ming asked in surprise.

In his opinion, as long as he performs normally next year and is not involved in any shady dealings, he will surely win.

After all, his goal is to dominate the box office rankings next year.

"What are you two talking about?" Ge Yougang came in and joined in.

"Let's talk about this kid winning the championship again next year." Jiang Wen said casually.

"Come to me for this matter. I have experience." Ge You said with a smile.

Jiang Wen was startled and sucked his teeth: "Why am I so unwilling to chat with you two?"

He is always the one showing off to others, but today he is shown off twice, which is a rare occasion.
