Chapter 77
77 Which day will the opening ceremony be held
Chen Fei's general political party has gained a lot. Eighty percent of the actors in the drama "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" have basically been confirmed. If the remaining few go to the Kongzheng business tomorrow, there will be no problem.
So, another very important thing has to be put on the agenda, that is, the opening ceremony of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
This is the second major publicity of this drama. The first time was the upload of the novel. It was very successful that time. Now many people know the novel "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", and readers' expectations are also very high.
However, the second publicity cannot be taken lightly.
There is an iron rule in the entertainment industry. No matter how good the works are, they are afraid of not paying attention, and they are afraid of being in a deep alley. Although there are works that slowly ferment through reputation and make a lot of money, there are really too few such examples, just an example.
What's more, capital never thinks it makes little money. If one wave of publicity can make ten million, and if one does not promote it, it can make five million, then no one will think that it only takes five million.
Chen Fei's drama mainly comes from Yuhe Film and Television, but he still invested in some other investments. It was not that he had no money, but that he wanted to attract more people and strengthen his team.
Because his ultimate goal is influence, not money.
If he just wants to make money, he can of course invest in his own shooting, but if he wants to strengthen his influence, he can't do that. He must make more friends and bring everyone to enjoy the most delicious food.
There are so many people, so the power is great.
Therefore, he must do this opening ceremony, and he must do it big. On the one hand, it can expand the popularity of the drama "I Am a Special Forces Soldier". On the other hand, it can also let other investors see that Chen Fei is really awesome, capable, dare to think, dare to do it, and then it will strengthen their idea that they must follow Chen Fei in the future.
In addition, Chen Fei has very high requirements for himself and will not be satisfied with his original results. He will do whatever he wants to increase the ratings and do his best.
After returning to the company on the same day, Chen Fei gathered several important members of the crew and several key staff members of the company together and held a short meeting.
"Today I will discuss the opening ceremony." Chen Fei presided over the meeting and said this. He paused for a moment, looked around, and waited for everyone's attention to him. He then said: "I want to set the opening ceremony on May 15th, the location is still in Galaxy Building Square."
As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member in the company said, "Brother Fei, there is a problem. On May 15, the crew of "Youth Garden" also held a start-up ceremony."
After hearing that the crew of "Youth Garden" also held a start-up ceremony, everyone in the small conference room smiled helplessly. It was really a coincidence.
"Youth Garden" is a youth idol drama directed by You Xiaogang, a well-known domestic TV series director, and invested by domestic media giants.
This drama has been in great spirit since the beginning of the year, first there were the national auditions for male and female characters, the second and third characters, and then there was a huge media offensive.
It can be said that this drama should be the most anticipated TV series in China by now, especially young audiences.
The promotional efforts of the drama "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" are quite strong, and the current attention is quite high. However, compared with "Youth Garden", it is still somewhat worse, at least one level is worse. After all, the publicity has already been overwhelming, and the directors and starring actors have already achieved success and are big stars, so the attention is naturally very high.
The reason why the crew of "I Am a Special Forces" held a start-up ceremony was to invite entertainment media to come and ask them to help promote.
But at this time, the date has been set, and it will be a bit inappropriate for you to hold the opening ceremony on that day. If you don’t mention anything else, the entertainment media must have agreed to go to "Youth Garden". If you invite them at this time, they will definitely refuse.
Therefore, the most suitable choice at present is to choose a new day.
However, no one expected that after hearing the staff member’s reminder, Chen Fei still smiled and said, “I know this, but I decided to set the opening ceremony on May 15th, and it is 10 o’clock in the morning.”
When the others heard this, they were stunned.
In this case, the opening ceremony of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and the opening ceremony of "Youth Garden" will completely overlap.
"This matter is settled." Chen Fei glanced at everyone and said lightly.
The participants in the small conference room looked at me and I looked at you, and they were a little helpless, and some even shook their heads secretly.
Although everyone does not agree with Chen Fei's approach, everyone already knows Chen Fei's temper. He is a stubborn person and firmly believes in himself. Once he decides, he will never change his decision, and the nine-headed cows will not be able to pull him back.
So, everyone can only accept it at this time.
"Brother Fei, will you send an invitation letter to the media tomorrow?"
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded.
"Does all media post? Or only those few?"
“Send all.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded to show that they understood.
Next, everyone discussed the specific process and details of the opening ceremony, such as who the host invites, whether all the actors in the crew are coming, or only some are invited, etc.
When the meeting was held, it was already six:30 in the evening.
But Chen Fei was not busy leaving.
He sat down in his office and began to make serious deductions.
There will definitely be a big battle in the next few days, and it will be a tough battle.
That's right, Chen Fei just regarded the opening ceremony as a tactical battle.
His opponent is the crew of "Youth Garden".
His purpose is also very simple. In the next period, especially one week before and after the opening ceremony, he completely suppressed the "Youth Garden" in terms of topicality and attention.
In the entertainment industry, what you need is attention and topicality. As long as he overwhelms the other party in both aspects, the drama "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" will become the focus of people's attention for a long time.
Even whenever "Youth Garden" is promoted, or when people think of the drama "Youth Garden", they will unconsciously and unconsciously take out "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and compare it in pairs.
To put it bluntly, Chen Fei is just trying to hit the crew of "Youth Garden"!
First of all, you are trying to get involved in others' wealth, and bringing the topic to yourself. Secondly, you are overwhelming the Youth Crew, so that all the efforts of the other party, whether it is publicity or anything, will all become the wedding dress of "I am a special forces soldier".
Of course this is not very open and upright, but Chen Fei regards this as a battle. Since it is a battle, it is naturally a life-and-death life!
There is no retreat.
Of course, this is the best result, but the ideal is full and the reality is skinny. Chen Fei actually can't guarantee that he will definitely be able to surpass "Youth Garden" in terms of popularity. The crew is not a good meal, and they are also capable.
But for Chen Fei, even if he failed, he was already considered a success. At least, he took the other person's ride, and he brought the popularity of the drama "I Am a Special Forces" to a new level without spending a penny.
