Chapter 9 The publicity period is really tiring!
Deng Chao has always been very grateful to Shen Changlin!
After all, his current situation is very bad, and he has no access to front-line resources and projects.
His manager Zhong Shuai doesn't pay much attention to him. After all, he has Zhang Hanyu and the BOBO group under him...
So much so that even the movie projects we negotiated last year were blocked!
——"Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2"...
By the way, this project was not going well from the beginning. Producer Wang Jing and director Li Lichi had a secret conflict...
Movies have become cannon fodder!
It is said that Li Lichi wanted to make "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2" into a love tragedy like "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"...
However, the producer was dissatisfied with the boss and later asked Wang Jing to reshoot for three days, and "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2" was also edited by Wang Jing.
Back to the subject, Deng Chao was really grateful to Shen Changlin for casting him as the leading actor in his first movie...
The script was also very well written, and he vaguely heard that the leader seemed to have some ideas for the play. He asked someone to meet Shen Changlin, but in the end, Shen Changlin didn't meet him at all...
As for Shen Changlin's leisurely performance on the set - the director is equivalent to the commander-in-chief on the set. He basically only talks but does not do anything. During the filming, he sits behind the monitor and watches. In each set of shots, the mobilization of actors and the cooperation with other departments , it is up to the executive director to give specific instructions.
Maybe he is confident?
Judging from the finished film, Deng Chaozhen thinks this movie is not bad!
What? Shen Changlin slept with the heroine on the set?
What does it have to do with him?
The woman is unmarried and the man is unmarried, they just need each other!
It's a pity that Shen Changlin didn't hear Deng Chao's psychological activities...
He has fallen asleep. Two hours is enough for him to regain his energy!
…
After arriving in Shanghai, we entered the hotel and had another interview, this time with Sina...
Sina is the official cooperative promotion portal designated by "Xiuchundao".
The reporter from Sina was obviously well prepared. He caught Shen Changlin and chatted for more than two hours. He not only talked about movies, but also talked about his transformation from a novelist...
"You said yesterday that you don't like publicizing suffering?"
"I really feel that I am not that difficult. There are many people who are more difficult than me. It's hard work for me, but I still stay in five-star hotels, travel first class, and even sleep well at the airport. .
How many people work hard, but their homes don’t even have air conditioning. So what do I have to say that it’s hard? It’s not easy. But this time it did take some effort. I worked hard and studied. It’s true!”
"Looking back, do you think there were times when you were anxious while filming this movie?"
"Of course there is. When filming first started, there were deficiencies in various aspects such as styling, and the preparation time was also very short. The actors' schedules were all agreed upon, and you had to not stop filming..."
"You have been saying that you want to make movies for many years, and you even studied directing. Movies have always been your dream? What do you want to express through movies?"
This question was too broad. Shen Changlin thought for a while before answering: "I make movies because I love movies! Let me answer first, why I love movies."
"I have always felt that only movies in this world are relatively pure. No matter what your identity is, sitting in the screening room and turning into a child full of expectations for a moment under the dark lights, the expectations for the unknown are the same. This has nothing to do with money or status, it's just about fantasy..."
"For me, movies, like food, beautiful scenery and even beauties, are an instinct, a natural tendency of human beings to have infinite worlds, infinite lives, and infinite fantasies. This tendency exists equally in everyone In my blood, no amount of money, knowledge, or status differences can take it away!"
"So, my dream since I was little is to make movies and be a director!"
"As for what to express through movies... I haven't thought about this issue. I have always thought that movies are best to be simple. Many times, movies are just spiritual food, and the sense of existence is short-term. I can still remember the words in the movie long after watching it. The name of the protagonist is considered a success of the director!"
After chatting for a long time, the interview ended, and then came the premiere in Shanghai...
The processes are all very similar.
Film trailer screening, main creator appearance, media interviews, interactive questions...
There is nothing much to say, but when asked about the box office prediction this time, Shen Changlin said: "At least it can surpass "The Golden Guard"!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"Our production is much better than his..."
The media and the audience laughed loudly...
"Jinyiwei" is so shocking, its only role should be to promote the flying saucer hat...
However, Shen Changlin publicly criticized "Jinyiwei", and his first work is still about the same theme - there is a breaking point!
By extension, it can be made into Zhao Zhetian PK Li Lianhua...
…
After the premiere in Shanghai, Shen Changlin, Deng Chao, and Hu Ge went to Changsha to record "Tian Tian Shang Shang", and then premiered in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu...
Of course there were some media interviews in the middle.
Intensive exposure is very beneficial to film promotion. Guangguang told him that theaters were very optimistic about "Xiu Chun Knife" and gave 48% of the screenings on the first day, more than 11,000 screenings!
For Shen Changlin, he must go to every promotional stop because he is the director!
I finally understand why many celebrities will sincerely say "tiring" when they are interviewed and mentioned about promotion!
It’s really tiring. Once you set off, it will be a journey of hungry meals, thirsty drinks, overnight stays and out of breath...
Often one flight a day, or even two flights a day!
During a high-intensity trip, the plane is the only place where you can catch up on sleep, because once you land, you must immediately go into battle.
Even so, once Lotus joins the promotion, it will still find time to replenish positive energy...
Who do you draw positive energy from?
Of course it’s the director who is exhausted!
Once even during the interview, the two went to the toilet together and she came up with an idea...
Shen Changlin had to sigh, is it so lacking in positive energy?
Of course, he is also determined to do what he wants. How can he stop paying off his debt?
Fortunately, the intensive publicity in the early stage was over. On July 2, the group returned to BJ and finished recording "A Date with Lu and Yu" and "Qiang Qiang Threesome"...
By the way, although "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is a program on Phoenix Channel, the recording location is not fixed. Sometimes it is in BJ, sometimes in Hong Kong. So Shen Changlin recorded this episode in BJ!
To be honest, after a week of intensive publicity, Shen Changlin really couldn't concentrate on the whole process. He... didn't even remember what he said on the show. The only thing he remembered was that he never said anything wrong...
Okay, I finally got over it.
The movie is officially released tomorrow. Of course, there will be promotion after the movie is released, but it doesn’t need to be so intensive!
Mainly based on interviews…
Back in the hotel room, Shen Changlin had time to take a good shower. After taking a shower, he turned on his computer and posted a Weibo: "The movie "Xiu Chun Dao" will be officially released tomorrow. Please support it!"
At this stage, Weibo's influence is not very great, but it is better than nothing. His fans are 680,000, ranking 17th on the entire site!
I replied to a few fans and was about to go downstairs to have something to eat when someone knocked on the door. He... subconsciously thought it was Auntie Lotus. Then he suddenly realized that no, Lotus went to Hong Kong yesterday - received an invitation from Wendi Deng...
When I opened the door, it was Naza...
Shen Changlin was very curious: "...Why are you here?"
Naza must have mustered up her courage: "Can I go in?"
Chapter completed!
