Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

And friends like Jin Meihe and Ma Tao whom I met while filming the Asian Games documentary.

In short, Gao You invited everyone who had a relationship with him.

The premiere was made with great fanfare.

During the premiere, sounds of crying were heard from time to time in the theater.

The mother Li Na, played by Zhao Qing, is really tear-jerking.

Even Pan Yufeng, who seldom cried, wiped away her tears several times.

After the premiere, Gao You and other creative staff members also exchanged their impressions with the media present.

The feedback from the media was generally positive, with many reporters saying that they were particularly impressed by Zhao Qing's performance and hoped that she would win an award.

Zhao Qing smiled and thanked his journalist friend.

Some media also asked Gao You how he came up with the idea of ​​filming the autistic community.

Gao You mentioned Hope Factory and recommended the book "Guide" to them, hoping that everyone could better understand this group and have less prejudice and misunderstanding.

The next day, almost all major newspapers and film magazines in the country reported on the premiere, and the reviews were generally good.

And the publicity led by Gao You came one after another.

Gao You first worked with her advertising team to produce several promotional videos with different styles, which were then aired on television stations in major cities before the films were released.

There are ones that highlight autistic girls and piano.

There is a reaction that highlights the factory and the piano, these two contrasting elements together.

There are also those that mainly promote the relationship between mother and daughter.

These promotional videos cover a wide range, attract a variety of audiences, and have a very good effect in terms of dissemination.

Moreover, this kind of large-scale publicity was rare in China before, and it did attract a lot of attention and discussion.

Gao You also discussed with Gu Donghua and asked "Novel Magazine" to advertise her movie at the end of the "Fantasy Dragon Universe" serial.

The readers of "Fantasy Dragon Universe" then found out that the author of the novel they had been following for several months was actually a college student and a new director who won an international award for his first film.

This made some readers have some ideas. Since he is a director, will he make the novel into a movie in the future?

Many readers wrote to the editors of "Novel Magazine" and asked questions.

The editors said they didn’t know either.

They just found out that the most popular novelist in their magazine is actually a director, who won an international award with his first work.

Editor-in-Chief Li and Editor Gu really didn't reveal any information at all.

However, this has made many readers of "Fantasy Dragon Universe" directly become potential audiences of "Factory Pianist".

And because the film itself won a big award, it easily attracted everyone's attention. Therefore, before the film was released nationwide, "Factory Pianist" had a certain presence in all parties.

Gao You's huge investment in publicity brought him high returns.

"Factory Pianist" earned a total of 200,000 yuan on its first day of screening in various cinemas in Beijing.

This is already a very good result.

The experienced Director Cen estimated to Gao You that the nationwide box office on the first day might be between 700,000 and 800,000.

You know, the current ticket price is between 50 cents and one dollar.

A box office of 700,000 means that more than one million people went to the cinema to watch this movie.

In the current sluggish film market, it is already remarkable for Gao You, a new director, to have such a box office number on the first day.

The film industry is not yet an era where box office is everything, but who doesn’t want the movie they’re involved in to have good box office results?

Director Cen hopes that this movie will get better and better.

Starting from the third and fourth days, more and more box office feedback came in from theaters across the country. Shen Yan and her colleagues were so busy every day that they wished they could stay by the office phone 24 hours a day in case they missed a call.

In addition to paying attention to box office, Gao You also attaches great importance to popularity.

So in addition to releasing various promotional videos, she also contacted some newspapers and magazines to which she frequently contributed articles and organized a movie-watching event.

Dear editors and readers, please watch the movie. As long as you watch the movie carefully, write a review, and it is selected for publication, you can get ten movie tickets or equivalent remuneration from the newspaper.

As long as it is a true review, it can be published regardless of whether the evaluation is good or bad.

Although the editors of these newspapers and magazines have never met Gao You, they have published many of her articles in the past two years and have become quite familiar with her.

Gao You's activity of inviting people to watch movies and write film reviews is quite interesting, and everyone is very cooperative with it.

In addition to watching it myself, I also asked my relatives and friends to watch it, and wrote serious film reviews after watching it.

In a short period of time, both readers and writers participated enthusiastically in this event.

After watching the movie, they expressed their opinions and impressions.

Someone wrote to say that he was deeply moved by the mother in the film. Mother's love is like a mountain, ordinary yet great. He burst into tears when he thought of his own mother who died early due to overwork.

Some people wrote letters expressing their feelings after watching the movie and participated in this event.

She said that there was a little girl in her neighbor's house who was considered a fool by her family because she could not speak after she was five or six years old.

Later, the couple had another girl, but they didn't pay much attention to the little girl and left her to their parents in their hometown.

Who would have thought that within two months, news came that a little girl had drowned.

She said she could sense the parents were relieved.

Looking back now, that little girl might have been autistic.

But because no one knew about this disease, they all thought it was a brain problem and treated him like a fool.

There are also doctors who are studying this disease who wrote letters specifically to thank the movie for promoting autism, allowing more people to know about the disease and understand it, and calling on everyone to pay more attention to and understand this group.

These various voices have brought the popularity of "Factory Pianist" to a wider audience.

At the beginning, many viewers did go to see the film because it won major awards abroad.

When the audience went to the cinema to see the movie, they all cried like dogs.

After crying, many people found out that some children who don’t like to talk are not stupid, but have autism, and there are several types of autism.

Some children are particularly good at certain things.

Some are less able to build relationships with other people.

Some people don’t like talking to others and prefer to live in their own world.

Some children may have poor language skills but good memory.

Some quick-witted newspapers, which keep up with current affairs, interviewed experts in the field and popularized the disease of autism in their newspapers.

Several famous musicians and scientists are also listed as suspected of having autism.

Let everyone know more about this group.

After obtaining permission, Gao You specially added an advertisement for "The Guide" at the end of the film.
