Chapter 137: Horror, half of the entertainment industry has taken action!
Early the next morning.
Since he was busy promoting the movie "One Man's Martial Arts", Lin Yuan also discussed the situation with the director of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and pushed today's scene to a later date.
The three directors said nothing and agreed immediately.
He also asked Lin Yuan very politely if he needed their help in promoting it, but considering that it would not delay the crew's filming, Lin Yuan politely declined the three's kindness.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan found a place, placed his phone, and prepared to shoot a short promotional video for the movie.
He has found so many celebrities to help promote the movie, so he can't just be the leading actor and not promote the movie he made, right?
"Hello all fans, I am actor Lin Yuan, starring in..."
Before the video could be finished, the bell in my hand rang first.
Lin Yuan picked up the phone and took a look, and the five words "Teacher Chen Daomin" on the caller ID came into view.
Although he was a little confused as to why Teacher Chen Daomin suddenly called him, the movements of his hands did not stop at all.
As soon as the call was connected, no matter what the reason for Chen Daomin's call was, Lin Yuan took the initiative to lower his posture and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.
After a while, Chen Daomin's slightly angry voice came: "Lin Yuan, young people are busy with their careers and can't get away from it. I understand this, but are you hiding something from me?"
"Look at what you said, how dare I hide anything from you!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but become curious. Listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that the other party was a little unhappy, but he didn't seem to have done anything wrong. With confusion,
He answered along the way, wanting to see what happened.
"Really? I heard that you have a movie that will be released soon, and you have hired a lot of people to help you promote it. Why didn't you tell me about this? Is it possible that you dislike us old guys who don't have enough traffic and don't want to ask us for help?
?”
Chen Daomin deliberately spoke very seriously, as if he was raising an army to investigate.
As for whether Lin Yuan had this idea in his mind, Chen Daomin knew better than anyone else. The other party must be embarrassed to ask for help from himself and others, so he left himself alone. If Lin Yuan really had this idea, he would not give Lin Yuan a call.
The call came.
As for Lin Yuan, when he heard what Teacher Chen said, he realized that it seemed that the news about him asking other celebrities to help promote the movie yesterday had reached Teacher Chen.
Just when he was curious about how this matter reached Teacher Chen, he suddenly realized in the next second that Teacher Chen Daomin was the vice president of the Film Association. This kind of thing was not something he could hide without telling him.
This sounds normal to Teacher Chen.
As a result, Lin Yuan quickly explained the situation: "Teacher Chen, you misunderstood. I was thinking about such a trivial matter and was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't tell you. I didn't hide it from you on purpose."
Hearing that Lin Yuan took the initiative to admit his mistake, and the reason was the same as what he had thought, Chen Daomin's tone softened a lot: "Next time something like this happens, just tell me directly, and don't do it so harshly. We old actors can't
It's not as unkind as you think. We will definitely help those who need help. I have also made the decision for you about your movie and contacted some people in the association. They will all promote it to you when the time comes."
Teacher Chen Daomin said it casually, but when it reached Lin Yuan's ears, he felt a burst of heartfelt gratitude.
You must know that anyone who can join the Film Association basically has a certain degree of influence in the film and television industry. Having so many people in the Film Association help promote movies, you can imagine how much of a favor Lin Yuan has inherited.
"Teacher Chen, thank you so much." Without thinking much, Lin Yuan thanked him repeatedly. He knew that this gratitude could not be expressed in just one or two sentences, so he kept it firmly in his heart and will remember it in the future.
The spring reports.
"No need to thank you. If you don't tell us this kind of thing again in the future, then you really don't give us old bones face." Chen Daomin was still very casual, but in the end he still "threatened viciously".
"Teacher Chen, don't worry, you won't do it again!" Sensing the other party's kindness, Lin Yuan replied forcefully.
After answering, Lin Yuan did not disturb Teacher Chen's rest. The two briefly chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone.
As for Chen Daomin, there must be a reason why he spared no effort to help Lin Yuan promote the movie.
Let’s look at the overall situation.
In recent years, there have been more and more popular celebrities, and there are fewer and fewer talented actors of the new generation. After all, the only one who can catch their eye is Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's performance at the last cocktail party can be said to have left a profound impact on Chen Daomin.
After returning home, Chen Daomin also watched several movies starring Lin Yuan and found that Lin Yuan could be regarded as a top player among the new generation of powerful actors.
They are naturally willing to support such powerful juniors.
Moreover, actors of the older generation like them definitely hope that in the future, actors in film and television dramas will focus on their acting skills, rather than relying on the faces of popular celebrities.
Helping Lin Yuan promote the movie this time is not only to support the younger generation, but also to help Lin Yuan carry the banner of a new generation of powerful actors.
From the perspective of personal interests, doesn’t Chen Daomin want to make friends with a rising star in the future?
Although he is highly respected and a guest in the entertainment industry, all this is because he is still in the entertainment industry. When he retires in old age, what right will he have to speak?
These four words describe not only the officialdom, but also the entertainment industry.
Therefore, in this situation, making friends with people like Lin Yuan is also a guarantee for him.
This is also the reason why so many leaders will try every means to promote their confidants before resigning, so that they can still have the right to speak after retirement, and their words will still be listened to.
.........
Compared with Chen Daomin's thoughtfulness, Lin Yuan is just very grateful. No matter what the reason is for the other person to help him, in his opinion, this is a kindness and he should keep it in his heart.
While he was also grateful, before he could continue filming the promotional video, someone soon called again.
The caller this time was Xu Zheng.
As soon as the phone call was answered, Xu Zheng criticized Lin Yuan with a pout, and the reason was almost the same as that of teacher Chen Daomin.
"Lin Yuan, what you did is not honest."
"We treat you as a younger brother, but you don't treat us as an older brother."
"If you don't tell us such a thing, why are you still seeing us outside?"
Xu Zheng didn't say anything polite to Lin Yuan, he criticized Lin Yuan immediately.
However, I could also hear it from their words. Although they said they were criticisms, they were actually more concerned.
Especially when Lin Yuan lowered his salary last time, Xu Zheng and others felt that they had seen the right person, and at the same time they also felt that they owed him a favor.
Therefore, when he heard what Huang Bo and others said, he immediately became a little angry. He felt that Lin Yuan did not regard him as his brother.
Although he knew that the publicity Lin Yuan wanted this time was the kind of vigorous publicity, and he might be a little embarrassed to find him, but just because of this reason, he became even more angry.
What is a brother? Aren't brothers just that you help me and I help you? When I asked him for help, he agreed without hesitation. But when it was his turn to ask for help, he was embarrassed to ask him. If this spread out,
, are you still embarrassed to hang out in the circle? What will others think of you in the future?
Lin Yuan didn't expect Brother Xu Zheng to be so angry, and immediately apologized profusely.
In his opinion, he needed others to buy face for this promotion, so he tried his best to inform those acquaintances. Although Xu Zheng had been in contact with him, he had never filmed a movie together, and the communication time was not long, so he did not
I'm sorry to trouble him, but I didn't expect that I underestimated his generosity.
Fortunately, Xu Zheng is also a good-natured person, and there is no estrangement because of this kind of thing. Instead, he asked Lin Yuan to relax, saying that they would help with the movie promotion matter.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan was even more moved, and suddenly he understood something.
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, Jianghu is about human relations!
When he was moved, Lin Yuan also immediately said sincerely: "Brother Xu Zheng, I don't need to say too much, my brother has remembered your love!"
"You are so cruel. You are my brother. If anything happens, just say hello directly." Xu Zheng continued to retort.
"Yeah, brother Xu Zheng, I remember what you said." Lin Yuan replied solemnly without refuting.
"Okay, then I'm going to promote it. Don't you make this problem happen again." After hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Xu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, left a word and hung up the phone.
Wait until the phone hangs up.
Lin Yuan adjusted his status and after confirming that no one called, he continued to shoot short videos for movie promotion.
"Hello fans, I am actor Lin Yuan. The movie "One Man's Martial Arts" starring me and Teacher Donnie Yen will be released the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone can support it and I believe this movie will definitely live up to everyone's expectations.
!”
After shooting the video, Lin Yuan also posted it on his personal Weibo with satisfaction.
When Lin Yuan posted the video on Weibo.
Soon some fans who followed Lin Yuan's Weibo discovered this news.
After watching the promotional video, fans realized that this was the martial arts movie in which Lin Yuan rubbed his face with salt during a live broadcast.
What surprised them was that shouldn't the movie promotion start one month before the release?
You know, none of them had heard about the release of this movie before.
It turned out that the movie was quite good. It was released the day after tomorrow. The promotion started this morning. If the publicity and distribution were not in place, no matter how good the movie was, the box office might not be high.
But as fans, although they are curious, they still subconsciously like, forward, comment, and use their own methods to let more people see this information.
But when Lin Yuan's fans forwarded this news to other groups.
Something happened that confused them.
"Hey, is this Jia Qian's new movie? I just saw that Huang Bo seems to be promoting this movie too."
"Chou finally posted something, but it seems he is recommending a movie. Have any of you seen it?"
"I just saw that the running men's team is also promoting this movie. Has the movie been released?"
Lin Yuan's fans were stunned when they saw the messages posted by other netizens in the group.
Didn’t Lin Yuan, the leading actor, just post a post to promote the movie? Why are other stars starting to help promote it?
Soon, attentive netizens discovered it.
After Lin Yuan posted the promotional video, it was like throwing a cup to show off, and other celebrities successively joined in the promotion of "One Man's Martial Arts".
Donnie Yen: @林元, life is nothing more than seeking inner peace and happiness. Being first in the world is a lonely road, and you need to abandon too many people and things to reach the small peak. Rather than doing this, I would rather hold everyone's hand.
, enjoy the blessings together and bear the sufferings together. - "One Man's Martial Arts"
Deng Chao: The martial arts world of one person is lonely, but outside the martial arts world, there are brothers to accompany you! I hope everyone likes the movie "Martial Arts of One Person" starring Lin Yuan, (smiley face).
Huang Bo: Fully recommended by FHM, it’s a movie that only men can watch to get the most out of it! I wish Lin Yuan’s “One Man’s Martial Arts” a huge box office success!
Jay Chou: Oops, I saw a poster this morning, it seems like this movie is not bad, @林元.
besides.
Teacher Chen Daomin, Sun Li, Xu Zheng and other big-name celebrities also launched Weibo promotions for the movie "One Man's Martial Arts".
Even celebrities such as Yu Quan and Dong Dawei from the men's running team who have no connection with Lin Yuan have all forwarded Lin Yuan's promotional videos.
However, one can guess at a casual glance that these people were obviously people helped by Deng Chao, Chen Daomin and others through their connections to help with publicity.
In almost just an hour.
On Weibo, almost more than half of the celebrities in the entertainment industry who can be named are helping to promote Lin Yuan's upcoming "One Man's Martial Arts".
at the same time.
On the Global Star talk show.
Originally, the program team had invited Deng Chao from the very beginning. However, since Deng Chao started recording Running Man last year, his schedule has basically been arranged.
Even if he has two or three days of free time, he still chooses to stay at home with his wife.
He has never been particularly interested in this kind of talk show.
But now, he has appeared on the Global Star interview program.
The reason why he appeared on this talk show is very simple, to help Lin Yuan!
So Deng Chao directly agreed to an interview show that he usually didn't like very much, and came to Global Star Interview, and decided to help Lin Yuan promote the movie during the interview.
Global Star Interview is one of the few live broadcast programs currently. Various celebrities are interviewed in each episode. Therefore, the program is very popular among viewers. At the same time, the number of people watching online exceeds millions, and the number of views in a single day is calculated in the tens of millions.
, if we do some publicity here, the effect will definitely be very good.
Take the program's advertising fee as an example. The asking price for a fifteen-second ad is 300,000, and it's not exclusive.
Without further ado, let’s start the show.
The host also greeted him very warmly: "Welcome Mr. Deng Chao to our Global Star Interview program for an interview."
Deng Chao stood up from his seat politely, bowed to the camera, and said at the same time: "I am very happy to be here on the Global Star talk show today, but before the show starts, I would like to take up twenty seconds of your time.
May I?"
"sure."
After hearing this, the host was stunned for a moment, and then quickly answered.
Deng Chao didn't think so much, and said with a smile to the camera: "The movie "One Man's Martial Arts" starring my brother Lin Yuan will be released the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone can support it. In this movie, Lin Yuan plays
The character will definitely subvert your imagination and your previous views on him, and it will definitely make your eyes shine."
After finishing the advertisement she had prepared, the host was confused again. She originally thought that the other party had something to say to the fans, and after working on it for a long time, he came to advertise.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she immediately realized that she was still on the show, and immediately said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Deng Chao and Lin Yuan have a relatively deep relationship. They didn't forget to promote the movie for their brother when they were on the show."
"No, no, no, the main reason is that this movie is really good. It's not because he is my brother that I help promote it." Deng Chao said with his eyes open and talking nonsense without blushing at all.
The other side.
In a private room of a hotel in Shanghai.
Directors from China Film Star, Dadi Cinema, Shanghai United and other theaters gathered together.
The leaders were Huang Bo and Xu Zheng.
Both of them were in Shanghai. After agreeing to Lin Yuan, the two of them worked together and directly invited the theater directors over for a meal.
He said he was eating, but actually he was using the excuse of eating to help Lin Yuan think about movie promotions.
Before the dishes were all served on the table, Huang Bo filled the wine glass and stood up to make a toast.
"Thank you in advance for coming to support me."
After drinking for three rounds and chatting for a while, Huang Bo went straight to the topic: "I invite you all to come here today because I want you to do our brothers a favor. Our brother Lin Yuan's new movie is released. I would like to ask you to help arrange the movie.
Increase the amount a little."
After Huang Bo finished speaking, Xu Zheng also picked up the wine glass, stood up and added a few words: "We have known each other for so long, so I won't say any more polite words. I am very grateful to you two brothers for doing what you can.
Everyone."
After speaking, the two of them drank a glass of wine one after another.
After the two had a drink, the person in charge of the theater was a little surprised when they saw this scene.
If it were Xu Zheng or Huang Bo acting in the play, they would just think it was normal.
But now these two top-level figures are helping Lin Yuan, which makes them somewhat shocked. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that the relationship between Lin Yuan and the two of them is extraordinary.
After weighing it for a moment, the person in charge of the theater quickly stood up and agreed.
The reason is very simple. Originally, there was only one popular movie in this period, Charlotte, and Charlotte has been in theaters for more than 20 days and is about to be released.
Although major theaters currently have a lot of movies scheduled in Charlotte, the attendance rate has shrunk significantly.
Instead of continuing to give Charlotte so much film schedule, it is better to be a favor and allocate the film schedule to the upcoming "One Man's Martial Arts".
Through smooth favors, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng owe themselves a favor. This deal is definitely a good deal.
Of course, the most important thing is that the people in charge are always paying attention to the situation online.
Two or three hours ago, so many celebrities on the Internet were promoting Lin Yuan's new film at the same time. What does this mean?
This illustrates two points.
First, there is a market for this movie!
Just imagine, if an ordinary person sees so many celebrities promoting "One Man's Martial Arts", wouldn't he be curious about how this movie went?
With so many stars supporting the cast, this movie is guaranteed to be a box office success!
For their theaters, increasing the number of films scheduled for this new film will only create a win-win situation.
Unless there is a theater that just can't make ends meet with money.
If you don’t make money, you just have to play!
Second, it proves that Lin Yuan has a very wide network of contacts in the industry.
If I and others reject Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, they will undoubtedly reject Lin Yuan.
At first glance, there's nothing wrong with it, but if you think about it carefully, doesn't it offend most people in the entertainment industry in disguise?
Therefore, without even thinking about it, they agreed directly and patted their chests one by one to express that your brothers are our brothers.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were also very happy. With the help of these people, they had done their best.
While various people were promoting Lin Yuan, the day passed quickly.
During this day, more and more celebrities joined in the promotion of Lin Yuan's new film.
In addition to the help from celebrities such as Deng Chao and Chen Daomin, there are also some second- and third-tier celebrities who also spontaneously help Lin Yuan repost and promote it, hoping to become familiar with it.
With so many celebrities promoting it, the popularity of the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" has also increased.
After one day of fermentation.
The top spot on Weibo's hot search list has been firmly occupied by the topic "Lin Yuan's terrifying popularity in the entertainment industry".
From being on the hot search to now, the topic has received hundreds of millions of clicks.
Ranked second is [The movie "One Man's Martial Arts" is about to be released, and hundreds of stars are promoting it].
And [Teacher Wang Feng’s new album "River" is about to be released!] was overwhelmingly dominated by the first two topics.
After this scene appeared, both people in the entertainment industry and people outside the entertainment industry.
Everyone was shocked by Lin Yuan's powerful connections.
Some melon-eating netizens even expressed their opinions bluntly.
"It's scary, half of the entertainment industry has taken action."
"Awesome, I can see the promotional slogan of "One Man's Martial Arts" no matter what media I turn on all day today!"
"How should I put it? Even though I'm not interested in martial arts scenes, I can't help but want to watch them."
........
See this situation.
The happiest person was not Lin Yuan, but director Chen Desheng who was observing the popularity of the movie in real time in the hotel.
Originally, in his opinion, he found someone to establish a relationship, and then Lin Yuan promoted it online. If he was lucky, the mainland box office should be able to exceed 200 million.
Although it didn't make any money at the box office, it at least allowed investors to get their money back.
However, he never expected that Lin Yuan could find so many celebrities to promote together.
To be honest, as someone in the industry, he knows the value of this publicity better than anyone else.
It is no exaggeration to say that you can’t get this promotional lineup alone without spending 100 million.
And money is not necessarily easy to use. After all, for most successful stars, they now value reputation more. Compared with hundreds of thousands of publicity fees, they would rather remain silent than recommend movies to the audience randomly.
If it's a bad movie, wouldn't it ruin its popularity among passers-by?
Therefore, how could Chen Desheng not be excited when seeing such luxurious celebrity promotion???
In his opinion, with so many celebrities promoting it, the box office can reach at least 300 million!
All of a sudden, the box office that had originally been lost was lost, but with Lin Yuan's efforts to turn the tide, it might even be able to achieve high box office results. This made Chen Desheng so excited that he didn't even want to sleep.
Just when he was constantly refreshing the pre-sales and popularity of the movie.
The cell phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
After seeing the caller ID above, I immediately answered the call.
"Desheng, I may have to stay in Los Angeles for two more days. Regarding your movie, I will think of something for you tonight." A rich male voice came over the phone.
"Brother, the movie issue has been settled, please don't worry about it." Chen Desheng said respectfully.
"Is it solved? What happened?"
"That's it..."
Chen Desheng told everything about yesterday's flight to the mainland to find Lin Yuan.
Although I don’t know how Lin Yuan found so many celebrities to help.
But Chen Desheng still helped Lin Yuan "modify" it, saying how much energy and efforts he spent to find so many stars.
After he finished speaking, the eldest brother was also a little moved. He immediately had a great impression of this kind of person who tried his best to help.
"Yes, it seems that this junior is quite attentive to what he does. I like this kind of young man."
"After I return to Xiangjiang, you can bring him to my house for a casual meal." What was said on the other end of the phone was very casual, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
However, after these words fell into Chen Desheng's ears, he suddenly became serious.
You know, what the eldest brother said was not to have a meal together, but to have a casual meal at home.
Going home and eating out are two different things.
However, Chen Desheng himself wanted to repay his kindness in this way. If he could let Lin Yuan get to know his eldest brother, he felt that he had repaid the favor to some extent.
Soon, Chen Desheng answered to the person on the other end of the phone: "Okay, brother, please do your work first!"
"Yeah!" The elder brother didn't think much and hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Desheng became nervous and expectant again.
It's already six o'clock in the evening, six hours before the movie premieres at twelve o'clock.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the premiere of "One Man's Martial Arts",
