Los Angeles, a hotel.
"Kurt, this person is the president of the Haolaiwu Film Association, and he is also the person we will invite to tomorrow's party. This person has a very important role in Haolaiwu. I have already contacted someone in advance. If there are no surprises, He will come to our party!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"What does this person like?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I like reading books, and I also liked acting when I was young, but I don't act anymore," Guo Yunpeng said.
"Like reading? It's not easy to give something as a gift!" Xu Taiping said.
"We can talk in detail when we meet the day after tomorrow. Don't worry now. If we can figure out this Kurt the day after tomorrow and let him talk to us, then our participation in the Oscar nomination will be safe!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"Is his words useful?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Of course it works. If he can support us, then there will definitely be no problem for us to nominate for an Oscar. Even if we win the Oscar, it is still possible. The Oscar requires more than a thousand judges to vote. We don't know who the judges are, but he probably We know that if we can use him to get in touch with the judges, it will undoubtedly be of benefit to us, so the person we need to deal with most during this trip to Los Angeles is this Kurt!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"Then I really need to have a good chat with him!" Xu Taiping said seriously.
"By the way, we have received many interview applications from the media for tomorrow's film promotion meeting. It is estimated that the attention of tomorrow's promotion meeting will reach an astonishing level!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"This is the result of our previous hype." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "The hype has attracted all the attention. Naturally, the attention will be high. Let's promote it tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.
"By the way, why didn't Jiang Yingxiong come tonight?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Him? He went out to play and said he had some friends here! What, you want to see him?" Guo Yunpeng asked.
"I don't want to see him, I'm just asking. However, Luo City is too big and there are many good and bad people. Remember to tell him later that he wants to go out to play and remember to bring more people with him. It will be safer." Xu Taiping said.
"I told him this a long time ago. In addition to Feng Qi, he also brought many people with him. There is no problem." Guo Yunpeng said.
"Well, that's fine. Okay, it's getting late. Get ready to rest!" Xu Taiping said.
"Well, I'll leave first!" Guo Yunpeng said, leaving Xu Taiping's room with several other people in the team.
A night of silence.
the next day.
Today is the second promotion of the film at Annington University.
The first promotion can be said to be a complete failure. The auditorium was robbed and then attacked. Fortunately, this failure attracted a lot of attention to the film team. Therefore, today at Annlington University Although the second level of publicity has not yet started, many media reporters came here and set up camera positions in the venue early. In addition, many students rushed to the auditorium early in the morning to prepare to occupy the venue. Good location.
It can be said that this promotion was successful before it even started, because he attracted enough attention.
The ultimate goal of any movie promotion is to gain attention.
Because of Martin's relationship, the "Sky Walk" film team is now receiving unprecedented attention.
Xu Taiping really wants to say thank you to Mr. Martin here.
The door of the auditorium.
Lu Damin and a large group of rich second-generation Chinese from the school arrived here early.
A large group of people occupied all the entrances and exits of the entire auditorium, and they carefully screened everyone who entered the auditorium.
Not to mention, under their screening, many people with ulterior motives were directly blocked from the door, and a person with a hot pot was also blocked.
These people with ulterior motives wanted to enter the auditorium, but there were so many Chinese that they simply could not break through the opponent's defense.
Before long, the auditorium was filled.
Lu Damin directly ordered to block all entrances and exits and not allow anyone to enter the auditorium.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the entire film team successfully arrived at the auditorium, and the film promotion began soon after.
This was a very successful film promotion meeting. Thousands of students from Allington University participated in the film promotion meeting. At the same time, there were also media reporters from many places who also presented the entire promotion meeting through The cameras spread throughout the United States.
Xu Taiping arranged the best position for Jennifer's team. Jennifer is said to have applied to their TV station to produce a special program to report on the "Sky Walk" movie.
This is very important to the entire film team, and Xu Taiping is naturally grateful.
The film's promotion came to an end with bursts of applause.
This promotional meeting was very successful. Some of the film's highlights and some stories from the main creators made the people present have a strong interest in the film.
These people are likely to become the first batch of viewers of the movie, and if the movie's reputation is good enough, then this good reputation will spread and radiate to the outside world through the first batch of viewers.
If a movie wants to achieve a very high or even record-breaking box office, the most important thing is to have a good reputation spread by word of mouth.
Xu Taiping thought of "War Tiger", which created a box office miracle for Chinese movies back then. This movie was not popular at first, but because of its good reputation, in the later period, the box office showed explosive growth, and finally created A box office miracle.
Therefore, if "Tianxing" wants to get a good box office now, what it needs most is a good reputation.
Only with good publicity and word-of-mouth can a movie be truly successful.
Audiences are not fools. No matter how good the promotion is, if there is no good reputation, it is possible that there will be a short-term box office peak when it is released, and then it will quickly fall to the bottom. This situation can be referred to a movie called more than a hundred years ago. The movie "Eisen Apartment" is known as one of the top ten scam movies in the history of hundreds of years. It relied on selling emotions to trick a large number of audiences into the cinema, but in the end, it was betrayed by others. The film was A movie that has nothing to do with feelings, it was a box office hit at first, but ended up plummeting. By the time it was released, the box office on the first day accounted for 50% of the total box office.
Although Xu Taiping invested in this movie to make Zhao Xiaohua famous and launder money, Xu Taiping also hoped that the movie would achieve good results, so Xu Taiping also went to find out more about Huaxia In his opinion, only by fully understanding the development history of Chinese movies can we make better movies. Although he is not a producer, he knows more and can at least give Guo Yunpeng some advice. The advice is not.
The promotion at Annington University ended with everyone’s applause. After that, the team will move to many other places for promotion.
For Xu Taiping, he does not need to participate in the entire publicity. He is the boss, and what he needs to do more is to maintain good relations with the upper management. Therefore, Xu Taiping will be fully responsible for tomorrow's party.
As the richest man in China, Xu Taiping's appeal is amazing. According to Guo Yunpeng, at least thirty celebrities have expressed their willingness to attend tomorrow's party. At the same time, Kurt, the president of the Haolaiwu Film Association, also made it clear that he will attend tomorrow's party. Will attend the party, which is very good news for Xu Taiping.
At night.
According to the previous agreement with Lu Damin, Xu Taiping arranged a grand dinner for Lu Damin and some Chinese students studying abroad after the first stop of the film's promotion.
These international students are basically the rich second generation. Either their families have mines, they are demolished households, or their parents are from the upper class. They helped Xu Taiping, and Xu Taiping invited them to dinner. This is what they deserve. However, for these rich second generations, it is definitely a great honor to have dinner with Xu Taiping.
7:30 p.m.
Los Angeles, banquet hall on the third floor of Kyle Moss Hotel.
Xu Taiping booked the entire banquet hall and set up more than a dozen tables.
This time, in addition to entertaining the rich second generation, Xu Taiping also asked the rich second generation to invite many students studying abroad in other universities in Los Angeles, or some Chinese people who were making a living in Los Angeles.
From Xu Taiping's point of view, everyone is Chinese and they are all overseas, so since they are having a treat, let's treat them together. Anyway, it won't cost much more, and it can also bring them closer to each other.
Therefore, in addition to a large group of rich second-generation Chinese from Anlington University who came here tonight, there were also many other Chinese.
Xu Taiping carries the title of the richest man in China, and his appeal is huge. Whether you come to see him or come with the intention of currying favor, anyway, more than a dozen tables are almost full before eight o'clock. .
Xu Taiping looked at his watch, frowned and said to Guo Yunpeng next to him, "Lu Damin hasn't come yet?"
"Yeah, I didn't see him. I just called him, but he didn't answer." Guo Yunpeng said.
"Where did this kid go?" Xu Taiping muttered.
At this moment, Xu Taiping's cell phone suddenly rang.
Xu Taiping looked at his cell phone and found that it was Jennifer calling.
Xu Taiping picked up the phone.
"Taiping, have you watched the news?" Jennifer asked.
"No, what's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked.
"The news just came from the police station on the floor that a Chinese international student was kidnapped. The robbers asked the international student's family to pay a ransom of 10 million US dollars! Now, the international student's parents have called the police!" Jennifer said.
"The foreign student was kidnapped?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and then asked, "Is it someone I know?"
"Yes...it's that Lu Damin!" Jennifer said.
"Lu Damin, he was kidnapped?"
