A week passed quickly, and it was one step further away from the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day that the Chinese people were looking forward to.

For some people, the holiday is coming soon and they are in a particularly happy mood, but for others, the next one will be a very busy and tense day, which can even be described as thrilling. Among them, the mood of filmmakers is the most complicated because they are going to face the National Day holiday.

In the film market over the years, the popularity of the National Day holiday is second only to the Spring Festival, so major movies will be released in this period, which also makes the box office competition for the National Day movies particularly fierce.

Some movies can stand out and lead the way, some movies can become dark horses and break through the siege, and some movies have bleak box office and become cannon fodder.

The investors, directors, actors, etc. behind the movie will also stage scenes of heaven and hell coexisting.

Some people became famous and became famous, while others were unknown and lost.

Some people celebrated champagne at the celebration meeting, while others hid in corners and did not dare to answer the creditor's calls.

This is the first time that Xu Jie has participated in this crazy and cruel movie schedule as the protagonist. Although there are still 10 days before the movie is released, he has already clearly felt the competitive atmosphere of the National Day holiday.

"Director Zhang Cheng angrily accused an actor of being a big shot when filming "Crazy Universe", revealing that his blood pressure soared to 190 at that time, and he vowed not to cooperate with the other party again."

"The old actor Xue Dongyang, the leading actor in the movie "The Big Wave", angrily accused the young and handsome guys in the play of being pretentious and pretended, and did not memorize lines, and were not worthy of getting a high salary."

"Liu Qiliang revealed that he was stabbed by explosives while filming the movie "Fierce Battle" and almost blinded..."

"It was revealed that plastic surgery was performed. Zhao Tianlei, the heroine of the movie "No Man's World", responded domineeringly. Anyone who has watched my fighting scene knows that I didn't have plastic surgery."

"The heroine Jiang Shishi, the movie "The Most Heart-Moving", talks about a love story and calls the male protagonist in the play his ideal type..."

“…”

Xu Jie looked at the news online. There were surprisingly many reports and interviews about artists recently. The layman watched the excitement, but the insiders knew that these were propaganda methods, nothing more than creating topics to attract attention and attract traffic to the movies. To put it bluntly, it was to let more people pay attention to the artist's works, that is, movies.

As for why there are so many reports during this period, it is very simple, because today is the 19th, and there are still 10 days before the release date of the 29th. This year's National Day pre-sale will be a week ahead of schedule, which is to start on the 22nd of this month. Simply put, it is the day after tomorrow. Therefore, the promotional work of various movies has also begun to increase efforts to warm up the pre-sale.

In fact, the same was true on the eve of the National Day holiday last year. Even the routine was the same. Some actors even repeatedly rehearse the cold rice. There is no way, who made this a promotional need?

Xu Jie looked at his watch and it was already past 5 pm. When he called Liu Qing in the morning, the other party said he would go back to the capital in the afternoon. Now it was about to pass in the afternoon. The other party would not let him go again, right?

At this moment, the cell phone on the desk suddenly rang.

He quickly grabbed it, and after seeing that it was Liu Qing's number, his frown finally stretched out.

"Hey, where are you?" Xu Jie asked after answering the phone.

"Just just got off the plane, where am I going now? Is it Beijing TV Culture or Beijing TV Station?" Liu Qing's voice sounded from the microphone.

"Don't worry, I'll have an appointment with a few media friends who have a good relationship. Let's do this. There is a Jiahua hotel near our company. Come and see me at 10 o'clock in the evening. The room number is 1612." Xu Jie looked through the office window and looked at a hotel not far away. He had already booked a room there in the morning and waited for Liu Qing to land.

"Hotel? Why did you ask me to go to the hotel?" Liu Qing asked alertly.

The director invited the actress to meet him in a hotel. It didn't sound as simple as talking about the drama. Moreover, she had heard too many such scenes and even encountered such directors before, so when she heard Xu Jie's words, she immediately became alert and thought to herself, that man wouldn't have any thoughts about her, right?

"What are you thinking? My wife is filming in Hengdian. In order to facilitate work, I opened a room near the company. The purpose of meeting tonight was to explain that I went to Beijing TV to participate in the recording of "Film and Television Deep Talk" tomorrow. In addition to you and me, there are Fang Yi, Ding Mengni and Zhang Chuanxing. Are you still afraid that I will do anything to you? Are you more beautiful than my wife's face? Or are you better than my wife's figure?" Xu Jie said angrily.

He really wanted to make some gossip for Liu Qing, but the male lead was not him.

"Ah? Yes, is that?" Liu Qing was so embarrassed that he even blushed when he heard this. How could she be as good as Su Yun?

She has a hard indicator of making friends in the entertainment industry, that is, she only has those who are more beautiful than her, and Su Yun is one of the few and has the best relationship.

Fortunately, I am making a phone call now. If it is face to face, won’t the other party die of a run?

She could even imagine the other person's expression when he laughed.

"Hmph, don't be too sentimental if you're okay, okay?" Xu Jie sneered. With the temper of the other party's eldest lady, she was still so willful, and even if she pursued him, she had to think about it.

"Well, I understand, by the way, what is the house number?" Liu Qing asked.

I just cared about going to the hotel just now, and I didn’t know what the room number was.

"1612, remember?" Xu Jie repeated.

"Remember." Liu Qing recorded the house number on his mobile phone.

"Okay, I'm going to go to the appointment. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it tonight. By the way, don't let Yuan Ou come up. I'll be annoyed when I see her." Xu Jie hung up the phone after saying that, and at the same time, the impatientness on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile on his face.

After waiting for so long, the plan can finally be implemented.

Next, he sent text messages to Fang Yi, Ding Mengni and Zhang Chuanxing, telling the three of them the time and location of the meeting. However, the time to send Fang Yi was 9:50 pm, and the time to send Ding Mengni and Zhang Chuanxing was 10:10 pm, and the time to send Ding Mengni and Zhang Chuanxing was 10:10 pm, and emphasized that it must be on time and not in advance, even for one minute.

Ding Mengni and others were very puzzled. Didn’t they talk about recording the show? They were not spy agents, so why can’t they go in advance?

You should know that celebrities are usually late, even if they are ten minutes late, they will arrive early.

But even though they were confused, everyone finally decided to do so. Who told the other party to be Director Xu?

Just listen to Director Xu.

Xu Jie sent another text message to Dai Wei, and the content of the text message was very simple: at 9:50 tonight, Fang Yi and Liu Qing will appear in Jiahua Hotel, with the room number 1612.

Soon, Dai Wei replied to two words: understand.

As the strongest paparazzi, after getting this information, he naturally knows very well what he wants to do next.

Wangwang team, go out!

Xu Jie held the phone, leaned back, crossed his legs and raised his legs directly on the desk. How can directors be just a director? He, as a director, needs to direct both inside and outside the play.

He looked at the entertainment news on the computer screen. Who wouldn't make news?

He is a professional background.

He is not a professional in directing movies, but who can be more professional in directing news?

...

At 9:30 pm, Xu Jie saw that the time was almost over, so he left the company and walked towards the hotel.

As soon as he crossed the street, he found some familiar license plates and people around the hotel, including those who followed him and those who ran with him.

Obviously, Dai Wei's people have arrived.

But these outside are nothing. What’s important is that when you take pictures inside, you can see pictures and truth.

Xu Jie pretended not to see it and walked into the hotel directly.

As soon as I entered the door, I received a text message from Dai Wei.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the protagonist to appear."

Xu Jie smiled slightly, the protagonist, it's almost done.

He came to 1612 and took out the interview draft of "Deep Talk on Film and Television" that he had prepared before.

This is an interview manuscript written by him personally, which not only contains content, but also has explosive points.

Speaking of the second day after the broadcast of "Film and Television Talk" was the day when pre-sales started. With the support of the program, pre-sales will definitely not be bad.

In fact, he was planning to record "Founding Talks in Film and Television next week. If it is broadcast next week, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day when the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday officially begins.

However, the competition for the National Day films this year is too fierce. Once the performance is not good in pre-sales, it will seriously damage the confidence of theater companies in this film, and then change the schedule.

Those theater companies that have drunk and toasted with wine are fine, but how could they give them two or three days of thin noodles? But what about those theater companies that have never been found?

If these people reduce the screening of "Space-Time Lovers", it will inevitably affect the number of screenings on the first day. Once the number of screenings on the first day changes, the number of screenings on the first day will decrease, which will affect the pre-sales and box office.

So for this reason, he advanced the interview with "Founding in Film and Television" a week. If the pre-sale performance is good, those waiting-and-see theater companies may also increase screening.

Although pre-sales are just asking the audience to purchase tickets in advance, in fact, the actual popularity of a movie can be seen from the popularity of pre-sales. Therefore, whether it is the film company, theater company or theater, they are very concerned, and then adjust the rhythm of film schedule and promotion according to the pre-sales situation.

Gossip news needs to be hyped, and work needs to be done.

Isn't there a saying?

Do your best and leave your destiny.

He did everything he could do, and even if the results were not good, he would not regret not doing that at the beginning.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xu Jie was also staring at the clock on the wall.

The minute hand walked around and round, and finally arrived at the 10 position.

Arrive at 9:50.

"Ding Dong!"

The doorbell rang on time in the house.

Xu Jie stood up and came to the back of the door, looked outside through the cat's eyes, and immediately opened the door after seeing that it was Fang Yi.

"Come in, come in, you are the first one." Xu Jie said to Fang Yi.

"Good evening, Director Xu." Fang Yi greeted him politely, and then walked into the guest room.

Xu Jie closed the door and followed Fang Yi and said, "I've arranged something for them and I'll come after a few minutes."

"I'm fine." Fang Yi shook his head and said.

His most important job now is to read TV scripts and promote movies. In fact, this is a thing, after all, they are all working for Director Xu.

Xu Jie sat down and signaled Fang Yi to sit down, then looked at the other party and asked, "By the way, Fang Yi, what do you think of gossip news?"

Fang Yi was shocked all over, then became nervous, looked at Xu Jie carefully and said, "Director Xu, have you heard something?"

Xu Jie was slightly stunned. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to be so nervous. It seemed that the other party had something to do with the relationship between men and women.

But then again, isn’t it normal for celebrities to have scandals? There is no need to make a fuss.

"Director Xu, Chen Wei and I have been separated long ago. She knew that I had a movie to be released, so she wanted to take advantage of my popularity. It really has nothing to do with me." Fang Yi quickly explained, afraid of being wrong with the drama "The Legend of Lan Xi".

Putting aside the script, just the cast, aren’t there any male actors who want to participate?

Some directors hate male actors with lots of lace. He doesn't know if Director Xu is such a director. Anyway, it's impossible to make a clear decision.

oh?

Xu Jie narrowed his eyes and there were any unexpected gains?

It seems that the news of the two secret dates is no longer interesting. The love entanglement between the three of them looks even more exciting. Whether Liu Qing is a mistress is enough for the public to discuss for a while.

However, the mistress is not nice and has a great negative impact on Liu Qing. You should be cautious about this story, otherwise it may backfire and hurt Liu Qing.

He only hypes and does not harm people.

"I know, I want to ask, what do you think about promoting movies by hyping male and female actors?" Xu Jie said. He felt that he would not speak directly, and the other party would probably be so scared that he would tell all his previous girlfriends.

Fang Yi was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that this was the case. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. His face was no longer so nervous, but he felt a little embarrassed, and he was a little bit like the King of Hell who tried to persuade the little devil.

"I think it's normal. After all, it's for the movie and work. And everyone promotes it so much, and the facts have proved that it's effective. Take "The Most Heart-Moving" directed by Zheng Guoliang. Haven't you been hyping up Jiang Shishi and Yang Yi's CPs before? But as far as I know, Jiang Shishi doesn't look down on Yang Yi at all." Fang Yi said.

Xu Jie nodded and said nothing. He just needs to know what the other party thought. It would be useless to say more. Tonight is for the meeting.

"Ding Dong!"

The doorbell rang again in the house.

Xu Jie turned his head and looked at his watch. At 9:59, it must have been Liu Qing.

He didn't say anything, just looked at Fang Yi, and Fang Yi immediately understood and got up and went to open the door.

Be an artist, you must have the eyesight.

How can Director Xu do something like opening a door?

"Click!"

When the door opened, Liu Qing was standing outside the door, and she was the only one.

Xu Jie glanced at it and said loudly: "Fang Yi, see if Yuan Ou is here."

Fang Yi immediately obediently stretched out his head and looked at both sides of the corridor, then turned around and said, "Director Xu, no."

"That's good, come in." Xu Jie said.

Fang Yi turned sideways and made way for Liu Qing. Liu Qing stepped into the guest room and Fang Yi closed the door.

What the two of them didn't notice was that in a room not far away, the camera in the crack in the door was shooting in their direction, and Fang Yi opened the door, looked around, giving way to Liu Qing, and then closed the door.

Chapter completed!
