Chapter 393 Are You Still Saying He’s Not Your Father-in-Law?

After Tianyu announced that the movie starring Chen Shuren will be released during the Spring Festival, Tianyu's subsequent series of promotional activities have been in full swing.

Almost every other day, some promotional posters and short clips from the movie are released.

And Chen Shuren's image in the play was naturally exposed.

"Last time I watched "The Tuner", I noticed that Brother Shu looks good in formal clothes. Sure enough, my vision was right!"

Some netizens praised Chen Shuren after seeing the look of a successful man in a poster, wearing a crisp formal suit, carrying a silver box, and with neatly combed hair.

"Brother Shu, are you going to play a rich, handsome man or a big boss? Is Brother Shu going to be a domineering president?"

Some netizens speculated.

"Come on, don't you look at the list of actors in the movie. Only the few actors at the end of the list can tell that they are women. If this allows Brother Shu to fall in love in it, I will stand on my head to wash my hair!"

"There is nothing wrong with the analysis above. If there is such a scene of Brother Shu falling in love, how can Han Man be omitted? Haven't you noticed that the women who appeared in Brother Shu's first two micro-movies are not Han Man? Man is Qin Baobao, with such a handsome face, will Brother Shu look for someone else?"

"That makes sense. Do you think it's possible that Brother Shu himself doesn't have much of a role in the drama, but just a friendly appearance?"

"Judging from the ranking of this actor list, it's really possible that Brother Shu won't have many roles."

Someone found a clue from the order of Chen Shuren's name in the movie cast list on the poster.

In fact, if you really want to guess like this, it's not wrong.

There are really not as many real scenes of the robbers in the movie as the trio of Brother Dao and Lao Bao. Even the scenes of Xie Xiaomeng who stole the jade to give to Brother Dao's girlfriend can be compared with Chen Shuren.

However, with Chen Shuren's influence, generally smart crew members will put him in an important publicity position, even if they know that Chen Shuren does not have many roles.

This was what Chen Shuren had explained, so this situation occurred.

"Okay, rather than what Brother Shu plays, what I care more about is whether Brother Shu has any new songs!"

"Yes, it's a big movie! If there are no new songs, that would be too much! If I buy a ticket and watch the movie without discovering Brother Shu's new song, then I will lose my fandom when I come out!"

"Take off the powder +1!"

Although Chen Shuren has demonstrated his acting skills in previous micro-movies, not many people really care about his acting skills.

On the contrary, a large proportion of people go to the movies to listen to the songs.

The remaining people who are really looking forward to the movie are attracted purely by the credibility accumulated by Chen Shuren's good reputation for the plots of his two previous micro-movies.

They also want to see if Chen Shuren can continue his reputation as a genius!

After the promotion of "Crazy Stone" began, not only was it a lively event online, but many people and offices offline also started discussing it.

For example, Wang Xiaolin's office.

At this time, Wang Xiaolin was looking at all the information about "Crazy Stone" on the Internet.

Even if he saw Zhang Guofeng's movie on the Spring Festival schedule before, he was not as surprised as he is now.

"Is this kid stupid or stunned?"

Wang Xiaolin shook his head. He didn't know whose idea it was to put Chen Shuren's movie on the Spring Festival schedule, but it was definitely a stupid choice.

Even if the quality of this movie is good, an investment of this scale, placed during the Spring Festival, means that it will not do well at the box office.

The number of screening halls in each theater is limited. There are so many movies in the Spring Festival period, and it is not something that an individual can control.

No background, no connections. Even a powerful director like Zhang Guofeng would not dare to say that his movie can get the most films.

What's more, this is Chen Shuren's first big movie, and the director is a newcomer who has only made two short films!

Even if Wang Xiaolin doesn't want to underestimate Chen Shuren's movies, Chen Shuren's movies must have the ability not to be underestimated by him!

He knew that several major theater chains had already lined up movies for the Spring Festival.

His own new movie also involved a lot of connections and a lot of favors, and only then did he get 5% of the film schedule.

At that time, he also casually asked about the movies that were scheduled above him.

Those movies were either more expensive than his movies, or had famous directors, or even worse, various A-list stars to help out.

Among them, he has not seen Chen Shuren's movie.

This means that Chen Shuren’s movies are scheduled further down!

Combined with the fact that everything, including newcomers, new directors, and new screenwriters, is new, Wang Xiaolin does not believe that Chen Shuren's movie will have many schedules.

"Although the investment of 5 million is a bit small, it can't be wasted like this. Does the branch in Yangzhou really want to sell tens of millions of box office just based on Chen Shuren's face, and then go back to Book?"

Shaking his head, Wang Xiaolin no longer paid attention to this movie that was destined to fail to make waves, and turned to learn about the promotion of other Spring Festival movies.

These are his real opponents.

"Huh? Why does it feel like director Zhang's "The Tuner" wasn't heavily promoted?"

Wang Xiaolin felt a little confused when he saw the promotional efforts of the crew of "The Tuner" that were not in line with Zhang Guofeng's status as director.

But in an instant he no longer cared, instead he was secretly happy.

Your opponent's laxity is your opportunity to catch up!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolin called the publicity department.

"There is no need to reserve any subsequent resources. They will all be used up before the Spring Festival. Once the box office performance is good after the release, there will definitely be funds coming in!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaolin checked the information of several other Spring Festival movies.

It's a pity that except for Zhang Guofeng's unexpected situation, other Spring Festival movies are pretty normal.

All the movie protagonists and directors are working hard to promote their movies.

Dream linkages, scandals, fights and troubles, every imaginable publicity method was used.

Wang Xiaolin sighed to himself after seeing it.

"I'm still a little conservative!"

…

Just when Wang Xiaolin was sighing, Zhang Guofeng, who he regarded as inaction, was drinking tea with Gao Nanhua.

"Why did you come to me if you weren't going to promote your movie?"

Gao Nanhua looked at Zhang Guofeng with a strange expression.

"Why be anxious? Propaganda is propaganda. Who said publicity has to involve a lot of effort? Just let the protagonists do it."

Zhang Guofeng said calmly, but Gao Nanhua knew his old friend.

He's definitely not that kind of person.

As if he had thought of something, Gao Nanhua asked curiously: "Are you afraid that the publicity will be too harsh, and then after the box office reputation comes out, you will not hit anyone else, and you are afraid of being embarrassed?"

As soon as Gao Nanhua's words came out, Zhang Guofeng almost choked on the tea in his hand.

"Ahem! What are you talking about! Who am I, Zhang Guofeng, afraid of? Even if there is a movie with a higher box office than me, I'm not afraid of what others will say!"

"Then what do you mean, investors aren't worried?"

Gao Nanhua was curious.

Seeing Gao Nanhua chasing after him, Zhang Guofeng drank all the tea in the cup in one breath and thought for a while before expressing his worries.

"I also want to promote it, but when I think of you telling me how good Xiao Chen's movie is, I feel uncomfortable."

"My movie was originally a remake of Xiao Chen's movie, but this time I have to compete with Xiao Chen and others during the Spring Festival."

"You said it would be fine if Xiao Chen and the others performed well, but if their performance is not ideal, will others say that I am ungrateful, remaking other people's movies, and then relying on my status and connections to suppress the original author team? "

Hearing Zhang Guofeng's words, Gao Nanhua wanted to laugh for the first time, but then, he felt that it was really possible.

It's hard to guess the thinking circuit of netizens, but there is one situation that they will never miss.

Bullying.

If there is news that Zhang Guofeng disregarded his kindness and suppressed Chen Shuren, it would not only have an impact on the movie box office, but also Zhang Guofeng himself.

Thinking of this, Gao Nanhua also fell silent.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Nanhua's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Lao Zhang, do you want to have a promotional interaction for your two movies, and use your movie's resources to help attract traffic to Xiao Chen's movie? In this way, even if Xiao Chen's movie fails in the end, you should help. You’ve already helped, and no one else has any excuses for you.”

Hearing Gao Nanhua's words, Zhang Guofeng was silent for a moment and then slapped his thigh hard.

"It has to be you, Lao Gao. I said that if I have anything to do with you, I'm right to come to you! Okay, I understand. I will contact the publicity department and ask them to prepare a way to interact with Xiao Chen."

Just do what he said, Zhang Guofeng picked up the phone and called them one by one.

But after a few calls, Zhang Guofeng's expression suddenly changed. He didn't know who he was calling this time.

"What did you say?"

Gao Nanhua heard the sound and looked up at Zhang Guofeng. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Guofeng was also looking at him, but he hadn't put down his phone yet.

"Are you talking about the movie "Crazy Stone"? The director is Sun Wen, and the protagonists include Huang Hai and Chen Shuren?"

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guofeng looked at Gao Nanhua and asked, "Did you say that last time you went to Director Qin's house, Director Qin didn't agree to schedule Xiao Chen's movie?"

"Yes, I was there at the time. What, what happened?"

Gao Nanhua felt something had changed and asked hurriedly.

Zhang Guofeng looked strange.

"I just heard someone from the studio say that our film schedule has been reduced by a few percentage points."

"Huh? Why?"

Gao Nanhua looked confused.

"Why? In order to free up the schedule for other movies, not only me, the schedule of several other movies should also be affected."

Hearing what Zhang Guofeng said, Gao Nanhua seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a look of disbelief: "You mean, Xiao Chen's movie schedule has increased?"

Seeing Zhang Guofeng nod, Gao Nanhua's eyes widened.

Obviously, Chen Shuren chose not to break off diplomatic relations with Qin Baobao and not arrange movies. Why has the number of movies increased now?

"what is happening?"

"I also want to know."

Gao Nanhua rolled his eyes, then picked up the phone and called Qin Chenglin.

five minutes later.

Gao Nanhua looked helpless, and Zhang Guofeng, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also silent.

"Tell me, does Director Qin really approve of Xiao Chen?"

Gao Nanhua suddenly spoke.

"I don't know if I admit it or not, but I know that Xiao Chen will definitely have a chance."

Zhang Guofeng thought of another thing.

"By the way, Lao Gao, do you think I should talk to Xiao Chen about the linkage now? Wouldn't it seem a bit utilitarian if I go now?"

Seeing Zhang Guofeng's cautious tone, Gao Nanhua said with a smile: "No, if Xiao Chen misunderstands, I will testify to you that you made the decision before knowing the news."

"That's what you said! If Xiao Chen misunderstands, you have to explain to me."

As Zhang Guofeng spoke, he called Chen Shuren.

This was the first time he took the initiative to contact Chen Shuren after he knew that Chen Shuren was also going to be on the Spring Festival show.

…

In Tianyu, Chen Shuren put down the phone with a dazed look on his face.

"What's wrong? Whose phone number is it?"

Tang Yingcheng looked at Chen Shuren's appearance and asked curiously.

"Director Zhang's."

"What did you say?"

"He said he wanted to interact with our "Crazy Stone" crew and promote each other."

Hearing this, Tang Yingcheng was confused.

"Isn't this great? Why do you look so surprised?"

"No... Director Zhang also told me a piece of news, saying..."

Before Chen Shuren finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Director Chen, good news, good news!"

Li Linfeng opened the door and entered Chen Shuren's office with a flushed face.

Regardless of whether he was polite or not, he started saying: "10%, 10%!"

Looking at Li Linfeng dancing happily, Tang Yingcheng frowned.

This guy is so rude!

But then, when he heard Li Linfeng's subsequent words, he immediately put aside his impolite behavior.

"Director Chen, Qincheng Pictures has allocated 10% of the film schedule for us! With this 10% film schedule, let alone 100 million box office, I dare to hope for 500 million!"

Tang Yingcheng had come to his senses at this time and looked at Chen Shuren with excitement on his face.

Chen Shuren finally finished what he had not finished just now.

"That's what I want to say. Director Zhang told me that Director Qin has agreed to arrange more films for us."

The news of the increased film schedule spread throughout the film and television department and even the entire branch after Li Linfeng left Chen Shuren's office.

Some people in the composition department who didn’t understand what 10% meant didn’t join in the booing at first.

But when someone said that 10% meant that Chen Shuren and his movie could break 500 million in box office, these composers started shouting along with the film and television department.

The film and television department is happy that they finally have a movie that has a chance to become a hit.

The composition department cheered purely because of Chen Shuren.

It seems that as long as there is something about Chen Shuren, no one in the composition department cares.

After Zeng Juan saw this situation, she smiled and said to Chen Shuren: "You have developed fans into the company."

Chen Shuren could only smile at this.

Later, when all the people who came to congratulate Chen Shuren left the office, Tang Yingcheng said something expressionlessly that made Chen Shuren's mouth twitch.

"You also said that Director Qin is not your father-in-law?"

…
