Director, please respect yourself

"Yang Hao, let's have a meal with Zhonglei tonight?" While speaking, Feng Xiaogang raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"Yang Hao, the newly opened stone pot fish on Wansheng Street is pretty good. How about we go there with Mr. Yang to try it tonight?" As he spoke, Yanlong raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"Yang Hao, we haven't gotten together for a long time. Why don't we go out to get together tonight? Well, there are also Mr. Wang from Enlight Media and Mr. Jiang from Anle Pictures." While speaking, Zhang Yimou also raised his hand to look at his watch.

…

Sitting on the chair, I looked back at these people.

Yang Hao suddenly realized.

The purpose of the big guys in these circles is very simple, they just want to see how they operate the promotion of the movie "Gone Girl".

On July 15th, this movie shot in Hollywood will be released in major theaters around the world.

According to unwritten rules, in China, its official release time is 8 o'clock tonight, because here, both the distribution company and the movie audience always like to warm up in advance!

But what puzzles everyone is that the movie is about to be released. But now, whether on the Internet, on the streets, or even in the cinema, there is no news that the movie "Gone Girl" will be released soon.

Ordinary people who eat melons may feel that it doesn't matter. Maybe director Yang Hao's first movie in Hollywood has a difficult delivery.

A certain movie was announced to be postponed just before its release... There have been such examples before.

But people in the industry are different. They have already received the news. Whether in North America, Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, or even in faraway Argentina, copies of the movie "Gone Girl" have long been available. Entered the cinema.

Just wait for the time to come and go straight to the screening.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

In addition, Yang Hao is not a person who likes to take ordinary roads, so curious people came to Hengdian one after another.

One is to reminisce about old times. After the commercial movie "Wanda Space Real Estate" came out, Yang Hao is now very popular not only in the domestic film and television entertainment industry, but also in the corporate world.

Entrepreneurs who just wanted Yang Hao to shoot an advertisement for their company could line up from the entrance of Hengdian Film and Television City to the lobby of the International Conference Center Hotel.

Anyway, there's no harm in catching up with him.

The second is to learn from the experience. The movie "Gone Girl" will be released soon. It will be a few hours at most. I don't believe that you, Yang Hao, are such an old god. You don't do any publicity at all and just want to use the later word-of-mouth fermentation to achieve high results. box office.

Haha, how is that possible?

You have to know that the alley is too deep for the aroma of wine!

After understanding what everyone was thinking, Yang Hao smiled and cupped his hands.

"Director, Director Feng, Sister Hong, and eldest brother, you have also seen that they all want to treat me to dinner.

But I am a person after all, and I have no skills at all...

Well, how about this? It just so happens that the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is going to hold a wrapping banquet. How about we eat something at the wrapping banquet together? "

"okay."

Zhang Yimou, Chen Hong, Yan Long, Feng Xiaogang and others looked at each other and agreed happily.

Of course, there is nothing we can do if we don’t agree.

You can't just cut Yang Hao into half with a knife just to satisfy your curiosity, right? !

………

2011, July 4th, 7pm sharp

The Chinese restaurant of the Hengdian International Conference Center was bustling with people, including those serving drinks, those singing, those eating, those dancing with the pretty girls from the crew... everything was there.

The crew held a wrap-up party, so naturally everyone was as happy as they could.

Compared with the crew, Zhou Xingxing was obviously not happy, but it didn't mean that he was not happy with the crew dragging him to play with him.

But Zhou Xingxing, who was always searching, felt a little uncomfortable looking at Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others sitting at the table next to him.

17..., a total of 17 big names in the industry, came to the hotel, didn't say anything, and went directly to the table. They didn't even ask themselves whether the host was happy for them to come and eat.

Standing not far away, Yang Hao turned his head, looked at Zhou Xingxing carefully, and then walked over with a smile.

"Master Xing..."

"Um?"

"I forgot to tell you just now. I called over a dozen of them, so I will pay for their meals today."

Upon hearing this, any ordinary person would immediately stand up and be polite.

Director Yang, who do you look down on?

There are nearly 400 people in the entire crew, and I’ve invited them all tonight. Now that these 400 people have been invited, I am still short of a dozen or so?

But Zhou Xingxing is so different.

When he heard that the crew did not have to pay for the meals of these dozen people, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Yang, you should have told me earlier.

If you had told me early, I wouldn't have to worry about where to go to raise money for today's meal. "

After saying that, without waiting for Yang Hao's reply, Zhou Xingxing feasted with the staff from Hong Kong Island.

"Director Yang..."

Just when Yang Hao was thinking whether he should sit next to Zhou Xingxing and drink with the crew, or go and sit next to the big shots, Yan Long, who was quite forthright in his conduct and work, came over.

"Um?"

"Don't make any misunderstanding.

I came to Hengdian today just to say thank you, because I am getting older and can’t move much anymore, and I always want to transform.

But I never had the chance. I never expected that you would give me the starring role in The Wandering Earth at this time..."

Faced with Yan Long's sincere thanks, Yang Hao didn't say you're welcome, but raised his hand and looked at his watch. The current time was 19:17.

Not only will you watch it this time, but I will too.

"Director Yang..."

"Um?"

"Rumors say that the total investment in the movie "Gone Girl" is as high as 40 million US dollars, and the so-called Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt alone received half of the total budget.

In this case, I don't believe that you would really not do any promotion for the release of this movie? "

Basically all generous people are like this!

Say what you have to say, and don't hold your breath.

Following him all the way from Hengdian Film and Television City, seeing that Yang Hao remained silent, Yan Long used his elbow to nudge him.

"Director Yang, tell me, how do you want to promote this movie?

You must know that you are the creator and holder of the highest box office record for domestic movies. "

"Brother, please tell me clearly."

Suddenly, Yang Hao sighed and said:

"Believe it or not, Gone Girl will follow the Hollywood marketing model for the North American film market.

No road shows, no grand opening ceremony, just talk about things..."

But before Yang Hao finished speaking, someone laughed softly.

"Yang Hao, do you dare to swear?

Swear that you won't do any publicity about the movie "Gone Girl." "

"Ah... Director Kaige!"

"Yang Hao, let me ask you, do you dare to swear?" Chen Kaige pressed further at this time.

"Then what's there to be afraid of?" Yang Hao smiled softly and raised his right hand.

"I, Yang Hao, swear that I will not do any promotion for the movie "Gone Girl". If I do, it will be despised by both humans and gods."

This oath was vicious and caused many people to look this way.

At this moment, in the Chinese restaurant of the Hengdian International Conference Center Hotel, various cell phone ringtones were heard one after another.
