Reborn as a little director

After Mike agreed to join, Xie Siqing did the math again.

Feeling optimistic about the future...

This day is really a bit tiring.

Zhong Yang stayed here from noon to night, and Jing Ran and Lian Xi were tossing and tossing again.

So Xie Si went to sleep directly after washing.

In my dream, I bought a dry-roasted prawn, but before I could eat it, the phone rang again.

Xie Siqing once again thought it would be Little Putao.

He picked it up and saw that it was Zhong Yang who had just left.

"Hey," Xie Siqing said, "what's the matter?"

"What did you say to the boss of Pineapple Cake?!"

Hearing the exasperated tone of the other party, Xie Siqing was really confused: "I only said that you would join... What happened?"

Zhong Yang was still angry when he heard this: "What's the specifics?"

"Specifically, you are my friend. After reading the script, you expressed interest in it, nothing else."

Zhong Yang said again: "...you can find out by going to Pineapple Cake Media's Weibo."

"Wait a minute, I'll turn on the computer."

With that said, Xie Siqing turned on his computer.

"Wait a minute," Xie Siqing said, "the computer is slow."

"..."

After a while, Xie Siqing said again: "...wait a minute, there is a problem with Weibo, and I can't log in."

"..."

Xie Siqing felt that Zhong Yang was about to explode.

After a long time, it was finally boarded.

Xie Siqing searched for the keyword "pineapple cake"...

Yes, Pineapple Cake Media's official Weibo.

The top one has been pinned to the top: "The film "Ke Chuan Gong Ye" (tentative title) invested by Pineapple Cake Media has confirmed that the famous director and actor Zhong Yang will play the male lead. Since announcing his career change five years ago, Zhong Yang has never I have never played an important role in any film, but this time I was moved by Pineapple Cake Media's long-term vision, mature conception, perfect strategy and strong execution, which fully demonstrated the infinite possibilities of Pineapple Cake Media in the film industry. "

"..."

This pineapple cake, before entering the media industry, my favorite advertising style is open and close, majestic, boastful, "See?" Zhong Yang said again, "I was moved by the pineapple cake?! This Something to do with pineapple cake?!"

"No, no." Xie Siqing quickly appeased the big dog, "I'll let him delete it."

"..." Zhong Yang paused, and said, "Forget it this time, you tell him, don't write anything or nothing in the future!"

"I see." Xie Siqing said, "Sorry——"

"I only allow him to use my name to blow this once."

"Ah."

After a while, Zhong Yang calmed down, and said again: "Since this is already the case, then you also express your opinion."

"...Huh?" Xie Siqing didn't understand.

"Go to Weibo and add a V to verify the identity of the director."

"..."

"Then you also announce, it's fine to just retweet that one, and add a little bit of your mood."

"...Why don't you give me an example?"

In fact, Xie Siqing can say all the clichés, but Zhong Yang is relatively abnormal, so it is better to ask in advance just in case.

"...Then you remember." Zhong Yang spoke very slowly, as if he wanted Xie Siqing to remember, "Just write, as a new director, you are very happy, very excited, and very happy to cooperate with me. I look forward to the movie It is officially launched, and I hope that we will continue to cooperate in the future to continue this feeling."

"..." Xie Siqing said, "Can this 'very happy' be removed?"

Zhong Yang thought for a while, and finally said reluctantly: "...then you can go."

"Yeah." Xie Siqing said, "I'll show you after I post it."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Siqing checked the time, and it was actually only 10 o'clock in the evening.

So he dialed the number of the pineapple cake boss again.

"Yao, Shunyu!" The boss of Pineapple Cake was still full of energy, "What's wrong?"

"Both Zhong Yang and I saw that Weibo." Xie Siqing asked, "Is it true that you posted the Weibo?"

"Ah..." the owner of Pineapple Cake asked, "Is he not happy?"

"Unhappy." Xie Siqing said, "He just likes this book, and he doesn't want to be advertised like this."

"...Then what should we do?"

"He said forget it this time, don't use him to play in the future."

"But, he joined." The owner of Pineapple Cake said, "This gimmick must be well publicized, right?!"

"Well." Xie Siqing said, "He has no objection to this, but he doesn't want to get involved with your company."

"Oh...it can only be used in movies, right..." After a pause, the owner of Pineapple Cake asked again, "Then how do you think the publicity effect will be the best?"

"..." Xie Siqing didn't quite know either.

What he can propose are all common tactics, such as social media, soft articles, print advertisements, participating in programs, etc., but Xie Siqing doesn't know if there are other methods and how to allocate advertising costs to achieve the best results.

How to do it--

A name suddenly appeared in Xie Siqing's mind - Chen Zhengzhi.

Chen Zhengzhi has already mastered how to publicize.

Xie Siqing never thought of him in the past, because if Chen Zhengzhi wants to come out, there must be a promising work in front of him, which can turn him into a hot producer again in one fell swoop, and completely get rid of the title of "Godfather of Bad Movies" ——And my own part is not enough.

Xie Siqing has always planned to let himself take on the role of producer, and the owner of Pineapple Cake has no objection to this.

However, at this moment, the name of Chen Zhengzhi popped up in Xie Siqing's mind.

It's different now.

Zhong Yang agreed to join.

Just now, Mike also agreed to join.

Maybe, he can ask Chen Zhengzhi...?

Thinking of this, Xie Siqing said to the owner of Pineapple Cake: "...wait a minute, let me ask."

"what?"

"I'll get back to you later."

"wait……"

Before he could finish speaking, the phone was disconnected.

"..."

Xie Siqing immediately contacted Chen Zhengzhi.

"Why?" Chen Zhengzhi was still bold and unruly.

Xie Siqing asked, "Do you have time now?"

"No." Chen Zhengzhi said immediately, "It's time to get to the gambling table."

"..."

"Don't you know that I gamble every night?"

"Hmm." Xie Siqing asked, "It seems a little late today?"

"I lost a lot last night." Chen Zhengzhi said, "After analyzing with the investors just now, how should we deal with the C/R, seat number, and other situations like yesterday."

"What is C/R?"

"Texas hold'em terminology, even if I tell you, you don't understand."

"Oh..." Xie Siqing said, "Then I'll call you early tomorrow...?"

"Don't be a mother-in-law, tell me quickly if you have something to say." Chen Zhengzhi became impatient.

"That's right," Xie Siqing said, "I have a book, and I got investment."

"Not interested in."

Xie Siqing continued, knowing that the other party would listen: "The film describes the conflict between the individual and the times. It takes the rise and fall of a bow and arrow shop for more than a hundred years as the main line. Story. The protagonist, as a traditional craftsman, cannot adapt to this society and has nothing but the support of his family. He hits the wall everywhere until he has a partner who actively adapts to the times. The shop improves immediately, but he increasingly finds that in this Under the torrent, he seemed so useless that even his wife gradually fell in love with that partner. However, later on, the protagonist discovered that the partner was also himself, a self that he split when facing this contradiction .”

"Sounds okay." Chen Zhengzhi said, "But I'm not interested."

Xie Siqing threw out his trump card: "Zhong Yang has already been confirmed to play the male lead."

"……Oh?"

"The photographer is Mike. You know Mike, don't you?"

"..."

"I will find another excellent editor to join." Xie Siqing said, "This will never be a bad movie."

"Where's the director?"

"Myself." Xie Siqing said, "If you want to..."

"No need." Chen Zhengzhi interrupted Xie Siqing directly, "After we met last time, I went back and checked some of your works."

"..."

"You are talented, very much like Xie Siqing."

"……Um."

"You guys sound pretty good." After a long time, Chen Zhengzhi said, "I'm here to wish you success."

"What about you?" Xie Siqing asked, "Aren't you just going to take a look? Use this as the starting point for turning around."

"Of course I won't go." Chen Zhengzhi was pretending to be relaxed, "You talk too strangely. Why should I go? I've quit long ago, okay?"

"Because..." Xie Siqing continued: "Now, and in the future, it's not a bad movie but I want you to be the producer. Maybe it's just this movie. This may be your only chance to go back. Miss it." will stay here forever.”

"It's as if I want to go back. Why should I go back? I'm better now." Chen Zhengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone knows that I'm very good now, and I earn a lot more than being a producer. There is no comparison."

"..." Xie Siqing didn't know.

"So of course I won't go back. There is no reason to go back. How can anyone give up a good life and go to suffer? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Hearing this, Xie Siqing understood.

Chen Zhengzhi really wanted to save face.

He has been working hard to create an image of himself as nice and chic, taking the trouble to show everyone that he is tired of making movies.

If there is an exception, that is the only time.

When he got drunk in front of Xie Siqing, he suppressed his voice and said that he likes making movies, and he never thought of leaving like this.

"But what you like is making movies... You told me yourself when you were drunk."

"..."

"And," Xie Siqing said, "you may have made some mistakes. Your pride in front of your peers in the past comes more from the fact that you have produced better works than them. Money is not enough to make most people in the circle Envious capital."

"..."

"Do you think this is good?" Xie Siqing said, "You tell them that you came to me because you owe me a favor. You told the police that I was a robber after drinking too much, so I was dragged away by the police and locked up overnight. So you owe me a favor, and it is a last resort for you to help me."

Over there, Chen Zhengzhi said: "Don't bother me first, let me think about it."

"Well." Xie Siqing said, "Although our budget is only 525 million, Zhong Yang and Mike both take very little, so I can offer you 37."

"37?" Chen Zhengzhi sneered again, "Do you know how much money I have? Do you know how much money I can win a month?"

"..."

"I took 7. The remaining 30 will be donated to you to make the props better. Don't drag me down and embarrass me. This movie is important to me."
