China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 184 Publicity
After filming the filming, the three of them stayed for another two or three days and left after confirming that there was no problem with the scenes. Before leaving, He Hua took the main creative team and had a meal with the three of them. They introduced each other and helped them broaden their horizons. Network it.

Filming continued after they left
On the set, the camera crew and the lighting crew were busy arranging machines, laying slide rails, adjusting lines, and light ratios. The entire crew was busy. Half a month passed, and the cooperation between the various groups of the crew became more and more tacit;
Needless to say Zhang Guoli's performance, after studying the documentaries made by He Hua and the others and contacting the parties many times, his performance has always been maintained at a very high standard, exceeding He Hua's expectations;

The performance of the second male Zhu Yilong is also getting better, which is mainly due to the teaching of Zhang Guoli. Of course, He Hua will occasionally say a few words.

The filming progress of the crew suddenly accelerated, but He Hua encountered a troublesome thing at this juncture:
"What? You're leaving for a week? What about the crew?" Yu Liwei was a little confused. The crew was about to take off, so why did the director run away?

Zhang Guoli, who was sitting by the side, also frowned. Others, like Su Lun, the assistant director, and the lighting, props and other team leaders sat on the sidelines and dared not speak.

"I can't help it. "Those Years" will be released in one month. It's the first film I directed, so I have to help with some publicity."

"Originally, there are still many programs to be shown, but the company also knows the current situation, and basically arranges them to come here." Speaking of this, He Hua turned to his assistant Xiao Xu and arranged:
"Xiao Fei, when it's over, you and Su Lun will meet up with the directors and film crews of these shows, and arrange their food and lodging."

These programs are also hard enough, as long as He Hua and Liu Yifei can be on their programs together, they can do anything, so the promotion that was supposed to be rejected is back, and the quality is even better than before.

Dragon TV arranged "Kefan Listening"; Phoenix Satellite TV said that Lu Yu would come to do a special follow-up interview; Li Jing's "Very Quiet Distance" also said that there is no problem; and Dou Wentao's "Threesomes".

This is just a variety show, and many paper media and online media have also submitted applications.
In short, Liu Yifei and He Hua's first interview after the official announcement blew up all the current domestic influential programs and media.

Important companies in these invitations will arrange for them to come and interview two people, and let Chen Xiao, Hao Shaowen, Li Jiahang and others deal with the unimportant ones.

"Speaking of asking for leave, I'll go there for a week. Uncle Yu and Uncle Zhang have discussed it for the past seven days. Didn't we finish the storyboard script? Let's shoot first, and I'll review it later. If there are any problems, we can discuss it later. "

"Brainstorming, isn't that a good thing?"

Hearing these words, Su Lun on the side was a little eager to try.

He Hua is really not worried about the level of the two. Zhang Guoli has more than ten years of experience there. Last year, Yu Li wrote and directed the thriller film "Dang Bandits" and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 65th Venice International Film Festival.

In half a month, they have already understood the rhythm and style of the play "Lonely", so they don't have to worry about going astray.

"I've really been fooled by you." Zhang Guoli shook his head speechlessly. He came to act in a play by himself, helping to tutor the newcomers and taking care of the filming. This kid is a bit inappropriate.

He Hua can't help it, who made his work arrangements not well done.

The publicity plan for "Those Years" this time was made by Yang Ming, who had just been promoted to the publicity chief of Youhua Company.

He summarized the selling points of the film into three points:

1. The first collaboration between He Hua and Liu Yifei after the official announcement may be exaggerated to say that it is the final love work between the two.

2. The nostalgic story of youth born in the 80s.

3. In conjunction with the release on Valentine's Day, a series of copywriting about love has been produced.

The latter two are basically editing promotional videos, releasing materials on a large scale, and making targeted adjustments in the promotional caliber, and He Hua doesn't need to worry too much about them.

Only the first one requires He Hua and Liu Yifei to work hard to do it.

Now when a film or TV series is being prepared, why do investors look at who the director is and who the actors are?It's not just because of the publicity value of these people.

The greater the status of the actor and the more famous the director, the more popular and popular the work will be.

Just like this movie, if there were no He Hua and Liu Yifei, you can see if there would be so much media attention.

And actors get so much remuneration, in fact, they also have the obligation to help promote their works.

Not only did Yang Ming arrange interviews for the two of them, but before the broadcast, He Hua had to take the main creative team of "Those Years" to carry out an in-depth publicity, face-to-face and direct communication with the audience - a road show, this is why he will take a week off s reason.

When He Hua was on the phone with his girlfriend as usual at night, he asked casually, "When will your side end?"

"Hurry up, it will be over in two days."

That is to say, in another three or four days, this ascetic life will be over, which is not bad.

On January 1th, Liu Yifei, who had just been on the set of "Lost Orphans" for a day, was dragged by her boyfriend to a strange room the next night.

After entering the door, He Hua took the initiative to say hello:
"Mr. Cao, I'm very sorry. I really can't let go of the crew's work. Please take a trip."

Oh, it was He Hua who arranged for his assistant to reserve rooms for those programs for recording and filming.

Cao Kefan didn't dare to make excuses, so he quickly shook hands with He Hua and said very politely:
"It's not troublesome at all. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to participate in our program, and for helping to prepare the place. It's already very good."

After a few simple greetings, the recording of the show began.

"Director He, Yifei, welcome to Kefan Listening."

From the very beginning of the show, it revolved around the relationship between the two, and Cao Kefan asked directly: "Which stage have you two entered now?"

He Hua looked at his girlfriend, and Liu Yifei signaled He Hua to answer this question with his eyes, and He Hua was also very straightforward:
"It's already half of the family. If it wasn't too busy recently, I should have taken her to meet the family."

"Oh, is it progressing so fast?" Cao Kefan was a little surprised, he really didn't know that the two started dating so early.

He Hua frowned and thought about it, and didn't hide it anymore. Those fans had already figured out the relationship between the two:

"It's getting late. We've been well for almost a year and a half. I think it's time. What do you think?"

At the end, He Hua tilted his head and looked at his girlfriend with a smile.

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and made a cute expression: "You said it all, can I refuse?"

"If you don't want to, then wait a little longer."

"Wait a second, do you still want to enter the house this year? Are you afraid that your aunt will kill you?"

"That's not enough. Besides, it's her daughter-in-law who doesn't want to come, and it's not that I don't want to bring her."

"go away!"

Before Cao Kefan could say anything, he watched the two bicker and show their affection, which made him a little speechless. This was really the first time in his hosting career.

The same scene also appeared in "A Date with Perch" and "A Very Quiet Distance", but Lu Yu and Li Jing watched with a smile on their faces, which is probably a common problem of women.

Cao Kefan quickly interrupted, changed the subject and asked, "Which of you two chased first?"

Did the host not do his homework?Why do you still ask this kind of question?

This is why He Hua doesn't know how to make a show. In fact, this is deliberately arranged by the show team. Even if everyone knows it, the person involved himself admits it is a very good point.

He Hua raised his hand: "Of course I was the one who chased after him first, you can see it just by looking at it." He said to himself.

But Liu Yifei was unwilling: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's first or not. After getting along for a long time, I like him, and he likes me, so we are together naturally."

She hates that others always describe the two of them as worthy or unworthy. The two like each other and are always the best in each other's hearts, so there is no need to care so much.

As someone who has been through this, Li Jing understands Liu Yifei very well, saying that she really likes He Hua, that's why she protects him desperately.

Liu Yifei said: "That's because most people only look at the appearance, and they subconsciously ignore many inner things."

"Did you know his script was sold for $150 million in Hollywood?"

Li Jing was taken aback. She really didn't know about this, so she hurriedly turned to look at He Hua: "What? Is it true?"

He Hua could only nod his head after his girlfriend had spoken out.

Do you still remember that He Hua signed an overseas agency contract with WMA after talking with Blue Sky Studios, and gave Spat a script similar to "Grand Theft Auto", and that script was called "Runaway Player".

That was the script that sold, and was picked up by 20th Century Fox for $150 million.

Although this price is already very good on He Hua's side, Spat still cursed Fox, saying they are cheapskates, and said that he would keep an eye on them, and if the total investment of the film dared to exceed 6000 million US dollars, he would go to Fox. The Writers Guild sued them.

Yes, Fox's price for He Hua is the minimum standard of the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild, 2.5% of the total investment.

He Hua didn't care too much. At the beginning, the prices of newcomers and new works must be lowered, which is normal.

Originally, he didn't really want to talk about this kind of thing. After all, it feels a bit xenophobia to promote it. Could it be that selling scripts in Hollywood is awesome?
Well, for the current Chinese people, anyone who can make a name for themselves abroad is awesome. Didn't people like Lang Lang and Jin Xing first become popular abroad before being recognized domestically?

Anyway, he didn't want to use this kind of thing to increase his popularity, he just wanted to make a lot of money silently.

But now that his girlfriend is so proud, let her go.

"Yes, he has this kind of talent, but many people turn a blind eye to it, you know?"

Li Jing wanted to turn the topic to Hollywood's purchase of scripts several times, but Liu Yifei couldn't stop showing off her husband, so Li Jing had to cooperate with her to finish what she wanted to say:
"So you were attracted by his talent?"

"At first it was" Then Liu Yifei seemed to think of something, her face flushed slightly, and her voice became softer: "After getting in touch with him a lot, I also found that he is a very romantic person."

Li Jing immediately understood: "Like the birthday road trip you posted on Weibo?"

Liu Yifei nodded seriously: "Yes, he is usually very busy with work, and he may have to do some creation after work, conceive scripts, etc., but he always finds time to give me some surprises."

"Why did you think of taking her on a road trip?" Li Jing turned around and asked He Hua.

"Before we started dating, I once went on a trip to collect information and posted it on my blog. When she saw it, she called and said she was envious. Then I thought I must take her out for fun."

After chatting for a while, Li Jing asked what she wanted to ask:

"The script?"

He Hua shook his head: "The content can't be said, there is a signed contract."

"The name is "Runaway Gamer". You can find relevant information. 20th Century Fox bought it, and WMA helped me deal with it."

Here is some information about P, ​​with so many script deals in Hollywood a year, who would pay attention to these.

Not to mention, as long as there is general information, the current media can really dig it out, and dare to block the door and ask.

This is enough, Li Jing continued to chat: "How did you think of going to Hollywood to sell scripts?"

He Hua glanced at her speechlessly: "Make money, I can write a book with just one script in Hollywood, why not do it when you have this opportunity?"

"Aren't you afraid that you will fail?"

He Hua was even more speechless: "If it fails, isn't the script still there? No one can make it themselves after buying it. It's the same."

Li Jing explained what she meant: "Then why not keep it to yourself from the beginning, isn't your company very good at production?"

"Some of those scripts are beyond the capabilities of our current technology, such as special effects. If you try to do it reluctantly, you will probably lose all your money by then; some of them are subject to restrictions, such as being too bloody, which will not have a good impact on TV broadcasts." He Hua explained slowly.

"It's better to take it out and test the water than to leave it there to burn ashes"

After saying this, Li Jing understood.

"Will Hollywood be the focus or direction of your future development?"

He Hua shook his head: "No, I have been speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters since I was a child. The cultural foundation is here, so the center of gravity in the future will not shift. It is at home, and it is just a taste of foreign countries. After a long time, I am afraid that I will not be acclimatized."

It gave him a headache to study for a Level [-] exam, but he still wanted to develop abroad, so forget it.

After talking about love and career, the rest of the time is to promote the movie "Those Years". In this regard, Lu Yu did a better job because she dared to think and ask.

"Do you have a kiss scene? He Hua, what mood did you have when you filmed it? Watching your girlfriend fall in love and kiss with someone else."

He Hua quickly replied, and if she continued to say this, he would become a Hulk:

"The kissing scene is on loan, the rest is alright, actor, if I can't even accept this, then I wouldn't have chased her back then."

"What about Yifei, will you be embarrassed?" Lu Yu continued to ask.

Liu Yifei also shook her head: "No, being an actor, especially an actress, these are inevitable."

"what?"

"I'm talking about the emotional line in the script, I" Liu Yifei was silent for two seconds: "Don't go around me, my brain can't react."

He Hua and Lu Yu were amused, and Lu Yu smiled: "I didn't bother you, you two have a question, hahaha."

"He's at the scene, at the scene." Liu Yifei couldn't continue, covering her face: "Oh, I'm blushing, you are too ambiguous."

The other two were even happier, and it took a while before they stopped.

Liu Yifei calmed down and said again:

"When you're immersed in the role, you don't pay too much attention to the outside world."

"Then you rate your own performance this time."

Liu Yifei thought for a while: "If I follow my previous standards, I would score 11 points, 10 points are very satisfied with this performance, and 1 point is my own breakthrough."

"If it goes according to my goals, I think it's a passing grade."

Her goal, of course, is the top actresses, who can win awards and get soft.
