Chapter 305: Schedule, Strategy (Asking for Monthly Votes)
“As I said before, Lin Xing doesn’t need to rely on this to hype, but this doesn’t mean that Lin Xing can’t dispel rumors.
I know that even after Lin Xing released these three sets of videos, there will still be a lot of doubts, even abuse.
In the past 10 days, everyone can see how many attacks Lin Xing has suffered.
I don’t understand. Lin Xing just acted in a movie, and he didn’t rob other people’s resources. He invested and raised investment himself. It can be said that there would be no movie without Lin Xing.
Saying how anxious and inflated Lin Xing is?
Nonsense???
You didn’t even watch the movie and sentenced it to death??
Lin Xing didn’t respond, you said Lin Xing was wrong.
Lin Xing responded, you said Lin Xing hyped.
You said both the positive and negative words, right?
…
Facing After responding to Lin Xing's three sets of videos, Lao Zhong's Weibo post this time was not so polite.
She first predicted other people's predictions, and found those who said Lin Xing was hyping it even more funny.
Especially these three sets of videos are aimed at others throwing dirty water.
Isn't this another kind of explosion-proof? ? ?
In fact, Lao Zhong herself was a little surprised. She believed what Lin Xing did to experience life.
But knowing is one thing. When looking at Lin Xing's working environment, accommodation, and eating conditions in the video.
How to say it? ?
If an actor has done this to experience life, then who dares to say that this actor is unprofessional?
But in the entertainment industry, it cannot be said that there are no ones who can do this, but there are too few.
First of all, there is no need for actors to do this now. I did it, just like nowadays action actors don’t need to work hard when filming.
Secondly, time is money, and the three months of your life experience is enough for an actor to shoot two works.
After all, there are too few people in the entertainment industry who really act down-to-earth.
Let’s not talk about other people, just talk about some former acting schools, such as Feng Ning, Huang Hai, and Zhao Bo, who all won the Best Actor and Best Actor awards, but what happened?
As a result, they are almost becoming variety show stars now.
After all, variety shows make money quickly, just like the daily salary of 2.58 million for filming, and even more so for variety shows.
A few million a day is too little.
What’s more, most of the time, variety shows are for fun, and there is no need to suffer any hardship or pain.
There are even some travel variety shows, which are really benefits.
Therefore, many people in the industry, even including many marketing accounts, V Judging others by their own experience, they think that Lin Xing can't have this time.
Although Lin Xing has been out of contact for so long, who knows whether he is going to experience life or to film? ?
Kong Shan doesn't believe that Lin Xing is quietly experiencing life for three months.
In his opinion, isn't this stupid? ?
When everyone is taking shortcuts or even joining the group seamlessly, you experience life for three months, which is a bit out of place.
Therefore, Kong Shan thinks that Lin Xing is hyping it up.
Even Zhao Zi is the same. She is still a fan of Lin Xing in this period.
As a result, she also thinks that Lin Xing will not experience life directly for three months.
But now she has changed her mind.
As mentioned before, Zhao Zi is also a surfing expert. She is very smart.
It is that experiencing life can be chosen as fake, but the three videos released by Lin Xing Studio cannot be chosen as fake.
Because the interviews with the boss of the auto repair shop, the interviews with the employees, the working environment, the accommodation environment, and the interviews with other restaurant owners, as well as Lin Xing's check-in videos, eating videos, etc.
How can you fake these things? ?
Let's be honest, this is the era of self-media. When all the accurate things are exposed, it is difficult to fake.
Because Muhe has been very lively in recent days. Many big anchors are there. They even went there directly after knowing the auto repair shop where Lin Xing works.
In this way, you want to fake it during the live broadcast?
It's too difficult.
"I'm treating you to this meal. Just consider it as my apology to you."
Zhao Zi said to Zeng Li: "Our brother Xing is really amazing and really strong. I really didn't expect that he could actually stay in Muhe for a few months to experience life..."
"Stop, who told you we?"
Zeng Li said angrily: "It's my brother Xing."
It's obvious that Zeng Li is still holding a grudge. Of course, holding a grudge is holding a grudge, and this hot pot should be eaten.
"Waiter, another plate of mutton."
As she spoke, Zeng Li asked the waiter for another plate of mutton. She thought for a moment and said, "One serving of beef, too."
"Aren't you afraid of being full?"
Zhao Zi said unhappily, "I've already treated you to a meal, what else do you want?"
"Shouldn't you treat me to a meal? Think about what you said before?"
Zeng Li said while eating without even raising her head.
Zhao Zi was indeed in the wrong. Thinking about what she had said before, she said helplessly, "Okay, I've admitted my mistake and treated you to a meal to apologize. What else do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything. You treated me to a meal, so I'm here to eat."
Zeng Li looked up and said.
Zhao Zi: "???"
...
Lin Xing Studio
"This is what I think about the choice of schedule."
Meng Yan, the head of the Imperial Capital Mingda Film Distribution Company, said with a smile: "This year's Toronto Film Festival will be held from September 6 to September 10, and this year's Venice Film Festival will be held from August 30 to September 5..."
Lin Xing and Dai An had discussed before about who would be responsible for the distribution of the film "Killing Ading".
Huahai Film and Television mainly focuses on TV series, and they don't shoot many films, let alone distribution channels.
As for those companies with strong distribution, let alone.
They definitely don't like "Killing Ading", an art film. Even if it is not an art film, they are unwilling to see the lineup.
Dai An wanted to use her relationship to ask Bohai Tianji Film and Television to distribute it. After all, Dai An's first two films were handed over to Bohai Tianji.
But Wang Ning, who was responsible for the distribution of Bohai Tianji, directly told Dai An.
"Old Dai, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help you anymore. If I help you again, I will have to go down."
Wang Ning said helplessly.
This is the truth.
You should know that Diane's first two films were distributed by Bohai Tianji, and even the first film was distributed directly by Bohai Tianji with guaranteed returns.
Then, of course, it lost money.
Since Bohai Tianji was out of luck, Ding Chunling called Meng Yan.
This Didu Mingda is naturally incomparable to the old-fashioned distribution companies, but it has been relatively strong in recent years, and many of the films it has released have been small and profitable.
All this is thanks to Meng Yan, the capable woman who is talking in front of me.
This Meng Yan started out as an actress, and she also graduated from the Didu Film Academy.
But there are too many beauties in the Didu Film Academy, and Meng Yan is not that outstanding.
As for acting skills? ?
Meng Yan can only be considered mediocre. After all, her peers are all at the level of big devils, and Meng Yan is really far behind.
So she decisively began to change her track. She began to move behind the scenes, first as an agent, then as a supervisor, a producer, and then as a general manager.
Ding Chunling and Meng Yan have known each other for almost 20 years. It can be said that Ding Chunling knew Meng Yan when she debuted.
The two have a pretty good relationship. When Meng Yan was an agent, Ding Chunling taught her for a while.
So when Ding Chunling talked about the release of the movie "Killing Ading", Meng Yan came to Lin Xing Studio as soon as possible.
No matter what the movie is like, Meng Yan is willing to help Ding Chunling.
Another thing is that Meng Yan is different from others. She doesn't think that art films have no market.
The current film market is no longer the time when Hollywood dominated, and the audience's appreciation level is gradually improving.
Another point is that movies now have gradually become the attributes of commodities.
That is, the quality of a movie must be good, but this is one aspect. On the other hand, as long as the marketing is good, the movie can have a high box office.
Just like the previous movies have achieved success through marketing.
The previous movie about telecommunications fraud directly won nearly 3 billion box office because of the addition of hot spots.
This is exactly the current trend of entertainment, that is, many people have begun to treat movies as commodities, content is one aspect, and marketing is also another.
For example, this time's "Killing Ading", apart from the movie itself, for Meng Yan, this movie is too suitable for marketing.
Even the current marketing of the movie is already very strong.
Meng Yan believes in Ding Chunling's ability. In terms of hype, Meng Yan is a younger sister compared to Ding Chunling.
As a result, Meng Yan came to the studio today to talk and found out that Ding Chunling didn't hype too much at all.
So far, everything is realistic.
In Ding Chunling's words, she wanted to hype it up, but Lin Xing kept telling her that there was no need to do so for the time being.
Everything will be discussed after the movie is ready and scheduled.
Good guy.
It's not that Meng Yan has never managed a movie with traffic, and it's still a top-tier movie, but it's really the first time she's seen someone like Lin Xing.
Because she knows how to promote, and she also knows whether the data on the Internet is real or fake.
Just like the sensation caused by the first trailer of "Killing Ading" this time, this is not something that can be achieved by spending money.
This is all discussed by everyone.
The more people discuss, the more attention it will get.
Meng Yan looks at the problem from the perspective of distribution. She thinks that if the content of the movie "Killing Ading" is really good, then maybe the box office will be able to be manipulated.
Then today when I came to Lin Xing's studio, after Meng Yan finished watching the movie, she felt that this movie is indeed an art film with a threshold for watching movies.
But it is not impossible to give it a try.
Meng Yan thinks that the release date can be set first, and then try a small-scale preview, and then cooperate with publicity to build up the reputation first.
However, this must wait until after the Toronto Film Festival. If "Killing Ading" can get some attention at the Venice Film Festival, it will be even better.
According to Meng Yan's idea, the release date can be set around September 15th, after all, the Toronto Film Festival just ended at this time.
After the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals have ended one after another, it can be released at this time.
There are generally no blockbusters in the half month between September 15th and October 1st.
After all, all the blockbusters will compete for the National Day holiday.
Of course, there will definitely be some National Day movies that will be screened by then.
But that doesn't matter, because "Killing Arden" is also available.
According to Meng Yan, it will be officially released on September 15th, and it can be screened on a small scale in the previous few days to gain word-of-mouth.
"You are professionals in this area. I think it's okay. I'll leave it to you to promote the movie."
Lin Xing said to Meng Yan.
Generally, the distribution and promotion of movies are separated, but Meng Yan knows how to promote it, so just leave it to her directly.
"Sister Ling, you can talk to Mr. Meng about the rest."
Lin Xing left the next matter to Ding Chunling.
As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals.
Half an hour later, Meng Yan and Ding Chunling began to discuss the promotion direction of the film.
"Lin Xing and An Yifeng are the main forces, but Lin Xing can stop for a moment and promote An Yifeng in reverse."
Meng Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Lin Xing's recent exposure has been a bit too great. You have already helped him refute the rumors, so I think we can stabilize it first..."
Ding Chunling laughed: "We have thought about it together. Next, I am going to promote Magnolia."
Meng Yan was stunned: "Magnolia??"
“Didn’t you see the Magnolia shortlist??”
Ding Chunling said: "A Xing was nominated for Best Actor for "For Whom the Bell Tolls"."
"Hi, I've been busy promoting the movie recently, and I really haven't paid much attention to Magnolia."
Meng Yan laughed at this time: "That's just right. Lin Xing's performance in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was really good. I've watched this TV series a little bit. I think if Lin Xing really won the title of The Emperor, Then it will be more beneficial to the movie..."
In this way, Meng Yan and Ding Chunling finally decided on the general direction of publicity.
At the same time, news about "Killing Arden" being shortlisted for the Toronto Film Festival also broke out online.
But it obviously didn't get much attention.
After all, everyone still cares more about the three major film festivals: Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. They even think that being able to achieve something in these three major film festivals is considered awesome.
But is it really good to win the Best Actor?
Not really.
Just like Xia Lin and Zong Zhilang both won the Berlin and Venice Best Actors respectively, but they are not very popular in China.
That’s why in the industry there are awards and box office awards and sometimes you can only choose the same one.
So far, everyone only thinks that Lin Xing simply wants to win awards with "Killing Arden".
In the next few days, the discussion about "Killing Aden" gradually declined.
Because Magnolia is finally coming.
