Chen Zhu returns from the big day and presents the classic fairy tale novel "Zhetian"

The abandonment ceremony of "Happy Together" was held on the set, because this is a modern fashion film, and there is no need to go to special studios such as movie studios to shoot. Many places were shot in ordinary places. Now on this set,

This is where one of the plays takes place.

After Li Yan arrived, others also followed. There were already a lot of people at the scene, mainly three types of people. In addition to the crew, there were also media reporters and onlookers.

When Hong Kong movies start, they often perform lion and dragon dances, worship gods, and burn incense. It’s not necessarily superstitious, it’s just a tradition. For most people, it’s just a happy event and brings good luck.

Of course, Chaoshan people are still keen on worshiping gods. If the boss is a Chaoshan person, he will naturally be more solemn in this regard.

Their film is an authentic domestic film. Even though there are actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Qiao Pan, director Zhou Yuan and others for this project are all from the mainland, so of course they will not engage in incense worship. As for other activities

, due to funding issues, we just prepared firecrackers. The opening ceremony was actually very simple, just a ribbon-cutting event. The biggest purpose was not to celebrate, but to take this opportunity to have all the actors gather together, and then invite reporters from the media.

Come here, it’s the official first promotional event.

Li Yan arrived with a group of people, and the other two investors Chu Yi and Mo Yan also arrived. As for other businesses and theaters, no one came.

They all greeted them. When Li Yan came over, he had already noticed the situation on the crew and asked a little strangely: "Old Qiao, didn't you say that the actors' schedules can't be matched and only some of them have arrived? Why don't I see it?"

Have they all arrived?

Qiao Pan immediately complained: "How can it be so good? I just asked them to come here today. After that, they will still work according to their respective schedules. These stars still have to be divided into several parts to shoot. Today, in the name of starting the filming, everyone is called

People come here just to spread the word."

He raised his chin in the direction of the media reporters: "Did you see that? There are so many reporters, who are they here for? How many can Xiao Zhou and I attract? They are all here for these celebrities. If only the actors who are joining the filming now

.It’s much more deserted. Damn, so many people spent a lot of money on the round trip.”

Mo Yan was wearing sunglasses, and his eyes under the sunglasses were probably looking towards the female stars. He smiled a little softly: "Okay, it's just the air ticket money! Today is the first stop of our promotion. If you don't attract people to report, in the future

How do you make it back? Your money is also included in the publicity fee!"

“Nonsense, if it’s not the publicity fee, I can still pay for it myself?

In fact, what makes Qiao Pan resentful is not the round-trip air tickets, but the fact that celebrities are getting bigger and bigger now, and it is becoming harder and harder to take care of them. The most basic thing is to bring an agent and an assistant, and for big-name celebrities, you need to bring someone with you.

Working as a make-up artist, bodyguard, etc. You need to stay in a five-star hotel, and travel in a first-class cabin. For example, during a promotional event for "Red Cliff" in Beijing, the stars were all famous, and the followers were as good as swordsmen!

Who pays the expenses? The crew. Why are movie promotion expenses getting higher and higher? This is also one of the reasons.

Of course, this is not just the case in China, it is also the case in Hollywood. When Jet Li filmed "The Expendables", he also brought a team of about ten people including agents, assistants, bodyguards, and martial arts instructors, who were also Stallone's crew.

Pay money.

"Okay, you are all bosses, time is precious, we are almost started.

After finishing the ribbon cutting, it was time to take the contract photo, and then arrange for the media to interview Xiao Zhou to start shooting. "Qiao Pan is the busiest one" and he was not too polite to them.

The scene has been arranged. In addition to the three investors, directors Zhou Yuan and Qiao Bai were also present at the ribbon-cutting.

At this moment, Li Yan didn't have time to introduce Zeng Zhangxi, so he just gave Jiang Xueyin some advice and asked her to teach Zeng Zhangxi more.

The reporters were all in their places, but they were not very interested in their ribbon-cutting ceremony. They were still focused on the celebrities who were resting aside.

Qiao Pan was a little embarrassed. He asked Li Yan and the others to come because he didn't want to neglect the investors, but now the atmosphere could only be simplified. He immediately arranged for all the actors to come together to take photos, take photos, and then set off firecrackers on the side.

The celebrities rested separately and lined up to take photos together. This gave reporters a chance to take pictures separately, and the atmosphere became lively. Because of their relationship with the celebrities, they did not hesitate to photograph Li Yan.

Wait for people who have no selling points.

However, whether it was Li Yan, Mo Yan, or Chu Yi, they all appeared in front of the camera for the first time, and they did not feel embarrassed. On the contrary, they felt even more unnatural after being surrounded by the cameras. Then Qiao Pan asked everyone to be interviewed by the media. The three of them

They are all just investments, not the nouveau riche who want to meet stars or support stars. Therefore, for the actors, whether they are less well-known or can be called big stars, they just smile politely and are not star-chasing.

of enthusiasm.

Afterwards, the three of them sat down to rest.

Li Yan saw that the big stars were surrounded by many reporters, and the less well-known actors also had fewer reporters. And Xiao Ai, Xiao Lu, and a few other girls who had been hired by Chu Yi had just...Kouyang...

o... Yushu'ao has a different body! She is well-known in the city, but because she is young and beautiful in the actor list, there are also old photos of her aunt Jichuan. And these girls who want to become famous also show excited smiles

, as if this is the first step to their success.

Looking at their sunny smiles, Li Yan suddenly felt something. Whether they were following unspoken rules or relying on relationships, in fact, they all had a very pure side!

Chu Yi and Mo Yan were also looking at them.

Chu Yi said seriously: "They have dreams and shortcomings. They can make movies and have the opportunity to become famous. This is their motivation, even if this dream is very vulgar. Their mentality now is also the best time. You let her act

No matter how many times the corpse dies, they will perform it seriously; no matter how the director manipulates or criticizes, they will listen with an open mind. Compared with many young actors, stars, and young people who have long since lost their passion for acting, they are more exciting to watch."

.

"I'm looking forward to them too!" Mo Yan laughed softly, and then he saw Li Yan and Chu Yi, both of whom seemed to be looking at him seriously. He pushed up his sunglasses and said in a serious manner: "Actually, I

It seems that the way they get into acting is due to the overall environment. The same is true in Hollywood. Many people get into acting by dating and marrying stars, directors, and producers. The key is whether they can get up and whether they have the ability.

Our country has the virtue of respecting the elderly, but sometimes it goes too far and becomes a matter of seniority. For example, every year in various film festivals, film industry annual meetings and other activities, some "old artists" will be brought out to show off. And

In fact, they have not had any works in ten, twenty, or decades. Some of them just played a few supporting roles when they were young, and then they have been working in organizations to earn money, and the country has supported them for a lifetime, and when they are old, they are respected as "

old artist

Li Yan heard his argument and laughed: "You mean, the relevant departments and media should pay more attention to young newcomers and ignore these old artists, so that the current environment can be changed?"

"That's for sure. There are more ways to become famous, so you can make less sacrifices. Just like the singing talent show, it can give grassroots people the opportunity to become singers. Hollywood also pays attention to old artists, but it pays attention to the old artists who have truly made a difference.

Artists, such as Clint and Eastwood, when they are eighty-year-old artists, are not just showing off their qualifications with their retirement salary. They are still acting and directing. They have released works from time to time, and even have high-quality works. They can even exceed 100 million.

The appeal of the U.S. dollar can be greater than that of top-tier celebrities, so there’s no need to say that.”

Chu Yi said calmly: "The leaders of departments such as the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television are all veteran comrades. You advocate that you should take care of yourself when you are old. How embarrassing it is."

Li Yan smiled and said: "It is precisely because of the current environment that Old Chu can enjoy himself among the young people. Don't talk about the leading comrades of radio and television. There are so many reporters here. If someone hears and reports them, our movies will be approved."

But it was censored

"I've read the script and the story should pass the censorship. What I'm worried about is the name. Old comrades may find it indecent and disharmonious, so I need to prepare an alternative name.

Mo Yan's words made them all feel reasonable, and Chu Yi wanted to remind Qiao Pan.

After taking turns interviewing actors and celebrities, the reporters withdrew. Celebrities whose schedules were wrong also began to withdraw. Among them, Hong Kong celebrities, because they are close to each other, only need to arrange car transportation, which is better than air tickets for many people.

It's cheap. It only takes half a day to get it done, so everyone can rush here.

Someone arranged these things, and Chu Yi and Mo Yan also left separately. People from Paradise Movies also went back to work after participating, except for Jiang Xueyin and Zeng Zhangxi.

Li Yan brought Zeng Zhangxi to Qiao Pan, told him about his plan, and asked Zeng Cuixi to cooperate with him on marketing and publicity issues.

Qiao Pan is a good person, and he immediately understood that Li Yan was asking him to lead people to study. Their cooperation was just for one movie, and Zeng Cuixi trained him to be a person from Paradise Film. But it was just for marketing and publicity, and it would not affect him.

He was the producer who was planning the overall movie project. This time, Li Yan helped him. The relationship was good and we could cooperate in the future, so after a little consideration, he agreed.

Because Zeng Zhangxi had not completed the entry procedures, signed the contract, etc., Li Yan took her back to the company first.

On the way back, Jiang Xueyin sat in the front passenger seat, with Zeng Zhangxi in the back. Compared with the previous time, Jiang Xueyin was much more excited. Along the way, he kept saying that he had just taken photos with several celebrities and could finally show off to his friends.

.

Seeing how excited she was to return to the company, Li Yan asked her to take Zeng Zhangxi to the human resources department to complete the procedures. He took a rest and went to the business department to check on Huang Ying. This was Huang Ying's first job after graduation.

I have a formal job and have been working for more than a year now. It is always uncomfortable to leave suddenly.

What he didn't expect was that the business department would have an unexpected surprise waiting for him!
Chapter completed!
