I'm a big star after the funeral

Chapter 178 Chapter 170 Three Launch Conference
"Li Chenghao will be the leading actor this time? He has only made his debut and has already filmed two TV series. The first one was just a short drama, but he turned out to be the protagonist in the first movie!"

"How else can I say it? It's good to have a background."

"Heh, it's useless to be envious, jealous, or hated. They have good genes in their family. Even if they don't have such a background, they can still enjoy themselves with this face."

"That's not the case. You must have a background. Otherwise, how did you come to have so many resources and dramas? How did those old puppets and ugly men come from? In comparison, I think this is acceptable. At least he looks good and does have some acting skills."

"Hey, it's just worse, think about the time..."

"Tsk, those people on the Internet always like to use filters to whitewash the past. In fact, we don't know what the situation is. There is no need to say that. They are all the same. It's just that those children grew up and dominated public opinion, and then Like adults back then, they started to despise children again.

"This circle is a reincarnation. When the children grow up now, will the public opinion change?"

"Hey, that's true, and it has nothing to do with us, just do your own thing well, and don't care what they do so much."

"Hey, here we come. Damn, it's really a team building project, isn't everyone from Shanfeng Entertainment here?"

"Let's see... Zhang Wei, Bai Yu, Zuer, and Wan Yi are also very active recently. It seems that they are indeed from their company, but there are also Jin Shijie and Li Liqun... Hey, that's not the previous 'Blue Bird' the one from?"

"Oh yes, she also played Ning Rongrong, but she seems to have signed a new contract recently. Could it be that Shanfeng Entertainment snatched her new contract?"

"Looking at it this way, Li Chenghao is indeed very conspicuous among them. He is really unique."

"So why did I hear that he was harassed by female bosses and colleagues before, hehehe..."

"Is it the female boss I thought?"

"Borrow one to speak!"

.......
As the crew appeared, especially the director Yang Qing came on stage and began to speak, the press conference officially started.

Yang Taihe still dared to trust Yang Qing. Although a producer was assigned to watch the crew, except for the management of finances, other aspects were basically left to the director Yang Qing to arrange and dispose of.

This launch conference was naturally led by him.

"Long time no see, everyone..." Yang Qing was not stage-frightened, and could still joke, "I don't know if anyone still remembers me?"

Many reporters at the scene laughed. Really, many people would have forgotten him.

The entertainment industry is like this. It changes so fast. If you disappear for a few months, it will be difficult for many people to remember you when you come back. Let alone behind-the-scenes staff like Yang Qing, who is not a star director. .

Of course, thanks to the staff behind the scenes, it mainly depends on your ability and resume, and it won't change because of your popularity.

As long as there is a good project and the investor can be persuaded, there is still a chance to be in charge.

Obviously, Yang Qing must have moved Shanfeng Entertainment this time, so he was able to get their strong support.

Shanfeng Entertainment even specially promoted him in the media. Of course, this is actually part of the pre-publicity of the crew, so that everyone has confidence in this project and leaves an impression.

If a movie wants to get a good box office, it is not enough to have good quality alone. Even quality is not the decisive reason most of the time, but the publicity is.

This requires multi-party collaboration including producers, theaters, actors and media, among which the audience itself is the least influential factor.

Although the audience is the one who pays in the end, most people first know what movies are available recently through media promotion, or go to theaters to see what types are available and choose among them.

Some people even just watch whichever one has free time. For many people, watching movies is just a form of entertainment. You can only know whether a movie is good or bad after watching it. Some people don’t even care because they are not rushing to watch it. movie to go.

What is more special in China is that sometimes it may be necessary to consider the official attitude.

For example, for some gift films with the main theme, it is often indispensable to book a box office. This sets a basic box office, and then we will look at the quality.

I won't say much about this...

Of course, if the previous conditions are met, the audience's word-of-mouth feedback is the icing on the cake.

Judging from the domestic market in recent years, the primary determining factor is theater film scheduling. Although this often depends on your market performance and will be adjusted later, at least in the beginning, the film scheduling advantage can make a movie win in the market. On the starting line.

So why do many movies have to compete for a good schedule? It doesn’t have to be the popular ones like summer and Spring Festival.

Moreover, there is also knowledge involved in film arrangement. It depends on which theater chain and cinema hall it is, which will also be a very important influencing factor.

In this regard, the divisions in Europe and the United States are very detailed. Their first-level theater chains are very different from the second-level theater lines in small cities and towns. This difference will directly affect the final share.

It is this kind of strict division that makes the cake of the entire market bigger and bigger, and the people in it can get the maximum benefit, instead of the only winner taking all.

The country is still far behind, and when it was booming, it was hit hard by the epidemic. Although it is gradually recovering now, there are still some hidden worries.

After all, no one knows when a wave will suddenly appear, and then directly affect some ticket positions. Everyone needs to be cautious.

Although Shanfeng Entertainment has been deeply involved in the TV industry before—there is no way, the only movie star that can be obtained is the aunt, but the relationship in the movie industry has been continued because of the existence of the aunt.

Among other things, Besley is one of the best in the domestic theater chain, and has even developed abroad. Previously, it acquired the old film giant in Hong Kong Island, not only won one-third of the local theater chain in Hong Kong Island, It also obtained control of some theaters in Southeast Asia.

In the United States, we also bought a theater chain, although it was only a township-level secondary theater chain.

Of course, on other people's territory, there must be various restrictions, but if you want to open up overseas markets, it is still very useful to have this part of the control.

In the golden age of Hong Kong films, Southeast Asia was almost a dumping ground for Hong Kong films.

Later, Hong Kong movies declined, and Hollywood blockbusters conquered cities and territories all over the world, so this area will inevitably fall.

After these years, the influence of Hong Kong movies has further weakened, and even mainland audiences who value feelings will not buy it, let alone the Southeast Asian market that is still separated by a layer.

However, even if some places have been clamoring to de-Chinese characters, some inheritances of the same origin are still not so easy to isolate.

It’s just that Hong Kong movies are really bad in general now. After many years, they are still playing the old things, not thinking about making progress, and not adapting to the current situation to innovate and change. It is inevitable that they will be eliminated by the times.

As for Treasure Island, it's not much better either.

If we want to regain the glory of Chinese-language films, we can only rely on the development of the mainland. We hope that with the joint efforts of one or two generations of filmmakers, the film industry and film market will become sound and mature, and they will no longer just rely on demographic advantages. Lying on it and sucking blood.

(This is also a personal wish, I don’t know if I can witness it in my lifetime)

Of course, even if there is a relationship with the theater chain over there, it has nothing to do with Li Chenghao for the time being.

Leaving aside the issue of whether it can be introduced, the dialect of his current film accounts for a large proportion, and it may not be popular even in the mainland market, let alone overseas markets.

However, this can be regarded as a feature of movies, and it is also very obvious in Yang Qing’s previous works. This can add a lot of interest. Even those who don’t understand the dialect may be able to get a little happiness, I understand. That's even better.

Therefore, Li Chenghao and others must practice their dialect as well as possible, otherwise what is originally a good thing may be criticized as not being professional enough.

Sometimes once the rhythm is picked up, it is not so easy to reverse it.

Back to the conference site...

Yang Qing is quite humorous, and his film style is similar to his, which is cold humor.

However, these media reporters are also very flexible, and they will cooperate even if they can't get it, so the atmosphere on the scene is not bad.

Then soon came the question and answer session, and the first question was asked to Li Chenghao: "Cheng Hao, this is your first movie, and you are the protagonist. How do you think you got this opportunity?"

The question is still a bit sharp, but this is expected, so Li Chenghao smiled and said calmly: "Of course I got it by face, is it still by strength?"

"Hahaha……"

His frank "admission" made it difficult for people to continue to question.

And if we dig deeper, it will have to involve other people. There are many opponents in these media, and they can't lift a stone to hit their own people, so this topic quickly passed.

Of course, if the reporter doesn't want to make trouble, that's a rare thing, so someone soon asked: "Mr. Li Chenghao, since you debuted, you have collaborated with Zuer the most times. The short film you made before Great, so how do you feel about Zuer, have you ever thought about being together?"

It’s true to say that, I have collaborated twice in variety shows, once as a resident cooperation, and once in a TV series, and then counting the short film and the earlier rivalry in "Children of the Qiao Family", plus this Once, count as at least six cooperations.

This does not include the two people's appearance and cooperation during the promotional period...

And this is not the first time I have heard this kind of problem, Su Xiaojing has also encountered this kind of problem.

At present, Li Chenghao's two rumored girlfriends are the two most popular.

The main reason is that these two are the only on-screen couples who have collaborated before, and they will cooperate again soon.

It is estimated that when Song Dazhi 2 is about to start up, someone will definitely ask the same question, just change the name.

Everyone in the production team looked over one after another, and they were actually very interested.

Except for the female No. [-] and the two supporting actors, they are basically artists from the same company. They had contacted at the company's annual meeting before, and of course they also saw a little bit of ambiguity between Li Chenghao and Zuer.

Of course, if young men and women are in frequent contact, if they say that there is nothing wrong, others will generally not believe it.

And there are many previous examples that prove that they may just miss an opportunity to pierce that layer of window paper, and it is only a matter of course that they get together.

What's more, Li Chenghao and Zu'er seem to be a good match in all aspects, so people around can't help but look at them as golden boys and jade girls.

As for Zuer herself, on the contrary, she looked over with a nonchalant smile on her face, as if the discussion was not about her.

But Yang Qing didn't know these things yet, so she was a little confused.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Chenghao to be asked. He adjusted the microphone and said with a smile: "First of all, this question has been asked many times, and I have answered it many times. Let me explain again, Zuer and I are very good friends." friends, and only friends.

"Of course, Zuer is indeed a very good girl. I also have to admit that I was tempted by her when I was filming, but it's hard to say that it's because I entered the drama or assumed the role, or my own true feelings. At least I don't confuse virtuality with reality.

"So for now, that's it... As for what changes will happen in the future, who knows?"

Li Chenghao didn't say anything, and of course he made up his mind. After the press conference, he called Su Xiaojing to talk to Su Xiaojing.

This kind of interview is usually a half-truth and half-false answer, no one will take it seriously, but if you don't explain it well, there is no guarantee that the other person will not think about it.

Although that kind of thing has already happened, Li Chenghao is somewhat guilty of saying this.

After all, he doesn't have the mature experience to deal with all this with a blushing face and a heart that doesn't beat.

Then naturally, after asking Li Chenghao, the reporter pointed the finger at Zu'er again, and it was a similar question.

Zuer's answer was very clever, she praised Li Chenghao's charm, then took advantage of the opportunity to talk about this cooperation, and then brought up the movie itself, turning the topic back.

As expected of an old Jianghu who was born as a child star, this Tai Chi method is really superb.

Of course, it is also because of this problem that she is not good at responding positively. No matter what she said to Li Chenghao in private, but for a female star like her, keeping a single personality does not conflict with speculation of CP, but it is still a bit difficult to officially announce a relationship. Troublesome.

Even if she was in Su Xiaojing's position, she would probably choose to keep a low profile with Li Chenghao and not make it public.

In fact, the three of them are similar in this regard. After all, they still have to film an idol drama. Single male and female celebrities still look different from those who are in a relationship or even married.

At least if you have a partner, it will be difficult for you to stir up gossip and CP in the future, because people will feel that it is against the law, and gradually the filmmakers will choose to give up.

So why, those who are in love and married, in addition to cooperating with their own partners, have to face a transformation problem afterwards. It’s okay to fall in love in the drama, but the kind of sweet pet and idol drama will be lacking.
