Feeling confused and in a trance.
The premiere started and ended, leaving the cinema and changing positions. It was not until he was led by the Jiang sisters to a cocktail party that Lin Zhao came back to his senses again at the crowded scene.
Seeing that there were far more familiar faces around him than at the lunch gathering, Lin Zhao became more and more at a loss.
Sister Jiang Shanwu sent her in, said a few words and then disappeared, saying she was going to have some dinner. Lin Zhao searched the crowd for a moment, and when he saw Chen Qing chatting and laughing with others, he wanted to walk over, but instinctively felt that doing so might bore her, so he could only follow the example of others holding a glass of champagne in the hall. Wandering inside.
It’s best if others don’t see you.
It's a pity not to follow people's wishes.
"Hello, Miss Lin, my surname is Dong, and this is my business card."
Faced with the conversation of the middle-aged man in front of him, Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment before reacting. He politely took the other person's business card and took a look at Huayi Film and Television Company. He was a little confused. He seemed to have heard of another name during lunch. The name of the company called 'HuaYi', is it a company
Politely put the other person's business card into the Hermès handbag, pretending to be calm and greeting: "Hello, Mr. Dong."
"Before the premiere, I noticed Miss Lin's grace on the red carpet and wanted to get to know her. I wonder where Miss Lin is employed?"
Mr. Dong said, and gestured towards Lin Zhao's handbag that just contained his business card.
Lin Zhao understood, but could only shake his head: "Sorry, Mr. Dong, I don't have a business card."
"Oh, it doesn't matter." Mr. Dong's smile remained unchanged and he added: "Actually, our company is currently preparing to invest in Lao Jiang's "The Devil Is Coming". Miss Lin, there is a role in it. Maybe you can try it."
Chen Qing didn't let Lin Zhao sit in when she explained Wang's affairs after lunch, so she didn't know Chen Qing's attitude towards Lao Jiang's new film. When she heard the other party bring out the famous Lao Jiang, she couldn't help but become a little more serious, and then very quickly He said honestly: "Mr. Dong, I can't act."
"Miss Lin must be being modest. I heard from the host that you have a lot of titles. By the way, Lao Jiang is right here. Why don't we all go over and chat together?"
Lin Zhao was just inexperienced in this kind of situation, and he was not stupid. He had already reacted at this time. However, her pride had been completely shattered by Chen Qing in just one day, not to mention that the other party didn't seem to be rude at all, so she couldn't be cold-hearted.
Just when he didn't know how to respond, another voice suddenly came to his ears, but it was speaking to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Old Dong, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Lin Zhao looked over and saw that it was the Wang brothers who were having lunch.
The two kings exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Dong in front of them, and then greeted Lin Zhao with a smile. Lin Zhao dealt with it, and Wang Da hooked Mr. Dong's shoulder and took him away as if he had something to talk about. Then Wang Er smiled and said a few more polite words to her, and walked away without any entanglement.
Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he understood that the brothers were trying to save him.
I just don’t know how long this cocktail party will last, and whether something else will happen that I can’t handle.
On the other side, Wang Da took Mr. Dong farther away from Lin Zhao, and then whispered: "Old Dong, don't blame me for not warning you, don't mess with this woman, we can't afford to offend her."
The two parties were already familiar with each other. When Mr. Dong heard what Wang Da said, the unhappiness he had just been pulled away immediately dissipated, and he asked curiously: "Who is it?"
On the other side of the crowd at Wang Dachao, Chen Qing, who was chatting and laughing with the president of China Film Academy, gestured: "I'm not sure, but it was Mr. Chen who brought it. Do you know him?"
Mr. Dong's background in Sijiucheng was deeper than that of the Wang brothers. Of course he knew Chen Qing. After taking a glance at it, he completely lost his mind.
This is really unaffordable.
But then he remembered recent events, and Mr. Dong said to Wang Dadao: "Jinshu is recruiting troops recently, do you know about it?"
Wang Da nodded, thinking about what Chen Qing said at noon. He was not stupid enough to confide in Mr. Dong, but he still revealed a few words: "Our brothers have also asked people to communicate, but there is no result yet."
Mr. Dong said regretfully: "That's better than me. I was rejected directly. Maybe he thought I was an amateur."
Wang Da felt regretful with him, but he understood the reason in his heart. To a large extent, it was probably Lao Jiang's "The Devils Are Coming" that Miss Chen at noon obviously didn't like very much. In fact, thinking about the book, there are indeed many taboos. The chances of it being released domestically in the future are not high, so we can only look forward to overseas.
In fact, what everyone sees is overseas.
Just like Lao Jiang's last movie "Sunny Days", the domestic box office was 50 million, and it was the annual domestic film champion. It seemed very high, but because of Lao Jiang's severe overspending, he could barely maintain his capital domestically, and overseas was the big one, with scattered pieces. He sold millions of dollars in land and converted it into RMB, making a huge profit immediately.
The two chatted for a while, and then Mr. Dong took Wang Da and walked to Lao Jiang, saying that he wanted to talk about "The Devils Are Coming".
Wang Da will definitely not get involved, but he still has to deal with it on the surface, and he doesn't plan to confess now. If the old boss around him also reacts, it will be another place to share resources.
When Wang Da and Mr. Dong walked towards Lao Jiang, Wang Er was greeting Chen Qing and others. Hearing the woman in front of him talk about the promotion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was very insightful.
"With the popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America, the box office will definitely not be low. However, it is indeed difficult to break 100 million. After all, this movie is somewhat literary and artistic, and most people can't appreciate it."
"Xiao Chen, if you say so, there must be a solution?"
"Actually, it was inspired by the release of Hollywood literary films," Chen Qing said, looking at Wang Er: "Wang always does advertising, so he should have a lot of experience. To promote a product, first of all, you have to advertise it widely. First, let more people know about the existence of this product. Secondly, and this is also key, you also need to let people know what is good about this product. The publicity and release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has only completed the first step. "
When Wang Er saw Chen Qing mentioning him, he laughed and agreed. Of course, if Chen Qing didn't say anything, he really didn't know anything about it.
However, Wang Er was quite grateful to Chen Qing for this casual favor because he was able to be noticed by China Film Beiying and other big names.
Chen Qing continued without waiting for anyone to ask questions: "Hollywood's approach is usually to first participate in film festivals, hold grand premieres, and then contact the media for exposure. The first step is to publicize it widely. The second step is , which is to contact a large number of film critics to write reviews of related movies in newspapers. On the one hand, it can further spread the word. On the other hand, if it is a good movie, through the analysis of the film critics, it can also let the audience know how good the film is. Wherever it is, this can attract more people to watch in theaters. Most of the best-selling literary films in the United States, including this time "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," follow this routine."
After hearing what Chen Qing said, Mr. Tong from China Film and Television said clearly: "I understand. We also need to contact the newspapers and media and ask them to tell the audience what exactly is good about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"That's right, so Mr. Tong needs to pay more attention to this next step."
"Definitely, people in the United States can sell for 100 million U.S. dollars. If we go back to our own country, if we can't even sell for 100 million yuan, then everyone will be disgraced. In fact, there has been a discussion above, and I want to call it out. We organized a movie viewing, but unfortunately it was not the main theme after all, so it didn’t pass. I’ll go back and write a report and ask writers from all over the country to write more film reviews in newspapers. This will definitely be no problem.”
Wang Er felt envious as he listened.
Although there is no official call to organize movie viewings, it is just a few big leaders who appeared at today's premiere, and the people below must know what to do. Coupled with the ensuing discussion, it is difficult for this movie not to exceed 100 million.
Chen Qing chatted with Mr. Tong and others for a while, then went elsewhere to continue socializing. During this period, she also drove away Lin Zhao who unknowingly wanted to get closer to her. He was not a three-year-old child, so he was not an adult.
Then he turned to Ren Jingxi.
The filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is still going on and has recently moved to Beijing.
Given this opportunity, Jinshu arranged for the three heroines of this drama to appear together today to promote the show in advance. After all, they are also their own contracted artists.
Ren Jingxi came over to socialize and socialize with her. She always kept in mind the man's original teachings. If she wanted to be able to navigate in this circle, she must work hard to build connections.
Even if she doesn't like it, she still works hard.
Chen Qing also knew what Ren Jingxi had done, and she had no prejudice against it. She just joked about the recent incident: "Huanzhu Film and Television Company, you didn't pay too much attention to the name?"
Since it has to be divided into parts to avoid being too popular, "Huan Zhuge Ge" will definitely not be able to get around it.
After all, the average viewership rating of "Kangxi Private Interview" was only about 40%, while the previous "Returning the Pearl" reached 60%, and it also set off a nationwide craze for returning the pearl.
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Simon personally told Ren Jingxi to form a film and television company. Even if some people still know the foundation of this company in the future, at least it would make sense on the surface.
Ren Jingxi listened to Chen Qing's teasing and said with a smile: "This is my first TV series project. The name of the company is like this. No matter whether it succeeds or fails in the future, it will be an inspiration."
Actually.
Privately, Ren Jingxi thought about another name, Metropark Film and Television Company, Westeros, Ren Jingxi. It was late at night when he had just finished a day's work. He had been obsessed with it for a long time, and faced the reality when he woke up.
Not to mention whether he would agree or not, Ren Jingxi didn't think he could pass Chen Qing's test.
Having dealt with him for such a long time, Ren Jingxi knew that Chen Qing was not a good-tempered person at all. Although Jinshu was controlled by someone behind the scenes, he was busy with affairs after all. Many times, Chen Qing was the company's direct contact. She is so strong that even the equally strong management can only obey her.
She didn't want to be put in small shoes.
Chen Qing didn't care about Ren Jingxi's mental journey, although if she knew the name 'Weijing', she would definitely get angry. She still wanted to be 'Weiqing', so she casually asked about the filming progress of "Huan Zhuge Ge".
Seeing Chen Qing and Ren Jingxi chatting, the three heroines of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" quickly came over to say hello.
Chen Qing had a good impression of these three little goblins who looked shrewd, and chatted for a few words, and half-seriously warned the three goblins not to ogle at the party.
The three women are all wronged.
They didn't get the same treatment as Jiang Anqi and Princess Xu, so why were they still detained like this
It's unreasonable.
Of course Chen Qing is unreasonable. Even if she doesn't intend to keep the women her boss has touched, since they are under her eyes, she must be honest and not allowed to mess around. When she even forgets about them, then that counts.
So, noticing the dissatisfied expressions of the three women, Chen Qing became even more rude and ordered them to leave the reception.
What kind of waves
Don't you want to work tomorrow
The reception lasted until eleven o'clock in the night. Chen Qing left for the last time, and Lin Zhao, who actually wanted to escape early, was also left until the end.
Chen Qing did not return to the courtyard on the south bank of Houhai with Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao was sent back to the courtyard alone. As soon as she walked in, a group of "aggressive" girls surrounded her and asked her what was going on.
They saw Lin Zhao attending the red carpet of the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on Beijing Channel's live broadcast.
And that list of names.
Actor, singer, model... bala bala.
When did this happen
Lin Zhao had no intention of explaining to them, so he went straight back to his room, entered the bathroom, filled a full tank of hot water, took off his clothes and soaked himself in it.
It wasn't until he felt like he was about to suffocate and collapse that he poked his head out again.
After taking a few deep breaths, I was finally sure again.
None of this is a dream.
There was a knock on the bathroom door, and Lin Zhao answered. It was Xia Panxi, her roommate. She didn't want to pay attention, but when she heard that it was her mother calling, she could only put on a bathrobe and open the door.
Xia Panxi handed her a cordless phone that was still connected, and opened her mouth to say a few words, but Lin Zhao had already closed the door again.
After soaking himself in the bathtub again, Lin Zhao greeted him over there: "Mom, hang up now. I'll call back."
It's a habit.
Domestic long distance is very expensive.
Listening to the beeping sound over there, Lin Zhao pressed the button and felt that if Chen Qing saw her doing this, she would definitely scold her again. This was not an act of taking advantage, but a lack of dignity. However, she is a girl who was born in a small city and has just stepped out of the ivory tower. How can she be so grand
The phone was connected again, and my mother was asking questions.
It turns out that someone at home accidentally saw her attending the live broadcast of the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and now the circle of relatives and friends has exploded.
Famous actor, singer, model, film and television producer, fashion designer, advertising planner and well-known entrepreneur.
Lin Zhao felt guilty when he thought about it. Which of these things had to do with him
Facing her mother's inquiry, Lin Zhao could only bite the bullet and said: "Mom, some of the activities arranged here for publicity are all fake. Please explain to everyone."
"...No, the three-month training has just begun. How did I get that advertising contract..."
"...Well, it's true that I am favored..."
"... Let's not talk about this anymore, Mom, is it confirmed that Xiaoyan will go to high school? The 10,000 yuan last time, I mean... "
"... It has already been spent, eight thousand, such a high sponsorship fee... "
"...It's nothing. It's good to go to the same high school as Xiaozhi and me. It will be easier to get into college in the future. You and your father should pay more attention to Xiaoyan in the future and don't let him be so playful all the time..."
"... Capital City? I may not be able to stay in Capital City myself. How can I bring him here... "
"...I told you it was a lie... Well... Well... That's it for today, long distance is very expensive, I'll hang up first..."
