Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 91 The director personally joins the game, great! (810 first order)
In "No One Loves You", some people wanted to hype up Li Qiutang's love affair, but before they could do anything, Fan Bingbing and Huo Siyan started fighting, which brought huge attention to the movie.

Now coming to "Famous", the publicity director has set his sights on Li Qiutang again. Who told him to say on "The Story Behind" that he likes beautiful women, and he even had the audacity to say that the prettier the better.

Li Qiutang definitely intended to attract attention when she said this on the show. Although it was a joke, many people took it seriously.

This is indeed the case. After this episode was broadcast, it caused a great response on the Internet, and the discussion unsurprisingly focused on the fact that Li Qiutang said he liked beautiful women.

Li Qiutang has been involved in many scandals in the two years since her debut.

During the release of "The Night the Comet Came", there were rumors about him and Qin Lan. At that time, Qin Lan and Huang Xiaoming had not broken up yet.

Later, Liu Yifei invited Li Qiutang to eat dumplings and was photographed by reporters, who said the two were dating, but the rumor was later denied.

Now Li Qiutang said that he likes beautiful women. Isn't this sending secrets to reporters? The most important thing is that Gao Yuanyuan, the heroine of "To Be Famous", is a beauty, and a famous beauty in the circle.

Gao Yuanyuan's love history has long been exposed, and reporters are also very clear about her aesthetic taste: she doesn't care about appearance and likes talented men.

Looking at Gao’s several boyfriends, they are all well-known talents in the circle.

Now if she says that she has fallen in love with a young director who joined the billion-dollar directors club at the age of 24, everyone would be willing to believe it!
Even though Gao Yuanyuan had dated guys older than her before, and Li Qiutang was five years younger than her, the audience didn't care.

Do the two parties know that netizens and the media are spontaneously hyping up their relationship?
I really don’t know.

After the second premiere in Suicheng, Li Qiutang returned to Yanjing to continue promoting "The Whistleblower". He was not asked about his relationship issues in the interviews he accepted, and Gao Yuanyuan did not know about this for the time being.

The publicity and promotion of the production crew was also helpless, this was really not their style. Hype love is indeed a good marketing method. The publicity and promotion had prepared two plans before, one was the director and Gao Yuanyuan hype, the other was the male and female protagonists Deng Chao and Gao Yuanyuan hype, and then dragged Sun Li into the water.

It's shameless, but it works.

The publicity and promotion department prefers the second option, as the plot of two women fighting for a husband will never go out of style.

As for whether the actors will agree? We can discuss it.

But the publicity and promotion director of "Famous" never expected that the director would openly say on the show that he likes beautiful women, and then the online public opinion would get out of control.

The publicity director thought that this was the director's own work. Now that the effect has come out, he still thinks of the director: "He personally participated in the game, which is great!"

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, 3 days before the release of "Famous", a media outlet released a photo:
"Recently, a reporter photographed Gao Yuanyuan having dinner with director Li Qiutang and many friends. The photo shows that everyone said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant after dinner. They were talking and laughing, and they looked very close."

If Li Qiutang saw this photo, he would definitely recognize it. This was the picture of the day when Gao Yuanyuan came to Hengdian to find him last year.

But the media doesn't care. If there is a photo of the two of them together, they can say that they are dating.

Finally, during an interview, Li Qiutang found out that netizens were hyping up her relationship.

"Director, what is your relationship with Gao Yuanyuan?"

Li Qiutang hasn't reacted yet: "It's just the relationship between director and actor."

"It's said on the Internet that you are in a relationship. Is that true?" the reporter simply asked.

Li Qiutang thought this was all nonsense!

Nowadays, interviews are not scripted in advance, and reporters dare to ask anything.

Li Qiutang was about to deny it, but was interrupted by the staff: "This question is not about the crew, please ask questions related to the movie."

Li Qiutang received a look from his staff member, indicating that he should not answer such questions, so he said: "Yes, yes, ask questions related to our movie."

After the interview, the staff told him not to answer questions related to Gao Yuanyuan, just let the public opinion continue to stir up the issue and clarify it later. Li Qiutang understood and expressed his understanding.

Who says you can’t fire a director?!

Li Qiutang was not disgusted by this kind of marketing because he knew it was fake and there was nothing going on between him and Gao Yuanyuan.

Moreover, the publicity department also said that the two of them just need to maintain a normal relationship between director and actor, and there is no need to pretend to be close just to cater to this marketing.

"Gao Yuanyuan didn't say anything, but just asked us to clarify the misunderstanding in time." Maybe the relationship with Xia Yu really hurt her, so she is not so enthusiastic about this kind of thing now.

The next day, "Fame and Fame" officially landed in major theaters across the country.

"Kung Fu Panda" is next week and poses the biggest threat, but the most direct competition to "Get Famous" is "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" which was released last week, and Xu Ke's new film "Deep Sea" which was released the day before.

"Deep Sea Search" is nothing to be afraid of. After the flop of "Seven Swords", Laoguai lost the trust of investors and could not afford blockbusters, so he could only make this kind of movie.

However, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" has performed well since its release, and currently it is expected to hit the million mark.

So this is also the important reason why Li Qiutang tacitly agreed that the team was hyping up his relationship. The competition is too fierce. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. If he doesn't do something crooked, he is really worried that he will not be able to handle it.

The film is showing in cinemas and the crew is still working hard.

On the day of the premiere, Li Qiutang announced that he would donate another 100 million yuan worth of supplies to the disaster area in the name of the "Famous" crew.

At the same time, media reported that from the ice and snow disaster in the south at the beginning of the year to the earthquake last month, Li Qiutang was very active and generous in donating money and materials, donating no less than 500 million in donations and various materials before and after the two disasters.

The donations of money and goods are real, and the amounts are roughly consistent. It is also true that this was specifically mentioned in order for "To Be Famous" to achieve good results.

It's positive marketing.

The male and female protagonists Deng Chao and Gao Yuanyuan made a big promise during an interview. Deng Chao said that if "Famous" breaks 100 million, "I will go to Hengdian and run naked!"

Naked marketing seems to be very popular in the past two years, and the audience also likes to see celebrities say this, although in the end few of them will do it.

Gao Yuanyuan heard this and turned her head to Deng Chao and said, "Are you going to make it this big?"

"Yuanyuan, if 'Famous' breaks 100 million, what will you do?"

Gao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "Isn't it enough that he ran naked?"

Deng Chao said: "You are the heroine, you have to show your support."

"But I don't know anything."

Deng Chao asked, "Can you swim?"

"Yes."

"Then just dive for the audience to see," Deng Chao suggested.

"Is it okay?" Gao Yuanyuan asked the reporter for his opinion. The reporter, who was enjoying the fun, of course said yes.

"Okay, if the box office of 'Fame and Fame' exceeds 100 million, I will dive in front of the audience." Gao Yuanyuan agreed.

Li Qiutang is now in Bincheng, watching the scenery of "The Sound of Wind".
