This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 501 K Station New Year's Eve Party

Originally, this movie launch event organized by the theater chain didn't attract much attention.

The cinema chain is very famous, but if you ask people to watch the live streams on the cinema chain's media accounts, probably very few people would follow these accounts.

But today's event has generated a huge amount of buzz for the movie's press conference.

Before long, related topics became trending searches on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin.

#NewYearDayMoviePressConference.

#Lu Ran angrily rebukes the Red Lion Boy.

#Red Lion Boy Insults Chinese People.

#Director Zhang and us are in a realistic style.

The trending topics immediately went viral online.

"Director Lu is right, we need flowers, not poisonous weeds!"

"Strongly oppose the Red Lion Boys!"

"Director Lu is too audacious. You're disrespecting the cinemas."

"It's not just that they don't give face to the cinemas; there are far too many people who don't give face."

"Never mind, just because Director Lu is so tough, the cinema will give him our support."

In the afternoon, the official Weibo account of Red Lion Boys released a statement.

"Recently, some internet users have spread false information regarding the character portrayals in the film 'Red Lion Boy.' The film's creative team hereby issues the following statement:"

I. The film consistently upholds the creative concept of promoting the traditional culture of Lingnan lion dance…

The statement was long, but it kept repeating the same thing: we did nothing wrong, and those who said we were wrong were just malicious slanderers.

In the end, the statement continued to play the victim.

Inside the hotel, Zhang He sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette.

Several subordinates looked tense.

"Director Zhang, is this really not going to have any impact?"

Zhang He calmly replied, "Don't worry, it won't affect our release."

My movie has already passed censorship and has a release date set. How could I possibly pull it from theaters at the last minute?

Do you really think only you, Lu Ran, know how to manipulate public opinion?

Everyone has comrades-in-arms.

Before long, a group of media outlets also joined the fray.

Botao News: "Red Lion Boy takes the Lingnan lion dance culture as its soul, uses animation to replicate the essence of tradition, and through the passionate growth of young people, it allows the century-old intangible cultural heritage to be revitalized on the screen. It is a brand-new attempt to express traditional culture in a modern way."

"New View Daily: The Red Lion Youth Film uses simple strokes to restore the local customs and culture of Lingnan, breaks the mold of animation creation, conveys cultural confidence with realistic textures, and shows the artistic breakthrough of Chinese animation."

……

The situation became even more chaotic when this group of influential media outlets joined in.

That evening, in the hotel, Lu Ran saw the situation online.

When he saw a group of media outlets also supporting "Red Lion Boys", he felt relieved.

now it's right!

Pang Yuntian sat opposite him, constantly making phone calls.

He put down his phone and sighed.

“Another theater chain has contacted you, but I’ve turned them all down for you.”

This movie press conference was an event organized by the cinemas, and the fact that it caused such a big public outcry has left the cinemas very dissatisfied.

It had some influence on "Once Upon a Time in China," but not a significant one.

This incident itself also brought a lot of attention to the movie "Once Upon a Time in China".

The next day, Lu Ran returned to Qincheng.

Today, online opinions have changed somewhat.

Some people say that Lu Ran is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Lu Ran checked the comments in his inbox.

Besides those who criticized him, some netizens also complained about him.

“Director Lu, no, the child insists on going to see the Red Lion Boys, and I really don’t want him to go.”

"There aren't many animated films to watch during the New Year's Day holiday. Kids don't understand these things, but they want to watch any animated film they see."

"What should we do, Director Lu?"

Unless "Red Lion Boy" can actually be taken off the screens, there will definitely still be people going to see it.

At present, this is not possible.

"No cartoons to watch? That's easy."

Lu Ran immediately called Yang Guang.

"Is 'The Adventures of Little Carp' finished yet?"

Upon hearing Lu Ran's question, Yang Guang excitedly replied, "It's been ready for a long time, and the review process has been completed. It can be launched at any time. We have already contacted several platforms, and the platform we are most interested in is K-site."

Liaoyuan Studio wasn't idle either; they had done all the necessary preparations. K-Station, as the platform with the most anime elements and a platform that had previously collaborated with Yang Guang and his team, had the idea of ​​buying the online broadcasting rights.

"It's the people from K Station who want to talk to you."

"Okay, let them talk to me."

Yang Guang quickly made the contact.

Shortly after, Lu Ran's phone rang.

A clear, crisp female voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Ran, I am Han Chun, the operations manager of K Station."

"Hello, Manager Han."

"Here's the thing, Mr. Lu Ran. In addition to wanting to purchase the copyright of 'The Adventures of Little Carp,' our K-Station would also like to invite you to participate in our K-Station New Year's Eve party this year. By the way, the New Year's Eve party has a separate price."

Han Chun added a sentence.

This isn't unnecessary; it's a common occurrence in the entertainment industry.

When some platforms sign contracts with actors, they buy a drama series to be released on the platform and bundle it with a New Year's Eve gala, which is not a separate price.

In fact, because of what happened before, no platform invited Lu Ran to this year's New Year's Eve gala.

Lu Ran had no intention of going.

But since K-site invited me, it's not that I can't go.

What am I supposed to perform?

Han Chun smiled and said, "You can sing and dance. As you know, most of our K-site users are young people, and everyone likes you. Several of your videos have been viewed over a million times. We were going to invite you last year, but you went to the headquarters instead."

"I'm open to singing anything, how about I promote my movie?"

Han Chun was stunned for a moment.

Logically, advertising a movie on K-site should cost extra.

Lu Ran added, "It's a promotional song for the movie, my new song."

Han Chun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute, I need to ask my supervisor."

"Don't rush, let me put together a simple program plan for you to show to your boss."

After chatting with Han Chun, Lu Ran turned on his computer and started tinkering.

He had already commissioned a promotional song for the movie "Once Upon a Time in China," which would be perfect for releasing on KTV.

Given the uproar caused by the Red Lion Boy incident, Lu Ran felt it was necessary to tell everyone what constitutes proper propaganda.

Lu Ran quickly finished writing the proposal and sent it to Han Chun along with the song information.

In the office, Han Chun waited anxiously.

Her computer received a notification sound from WeChat.

After accepting Lu Ran's friend request, Han Chun quickly received a file from Lu Ran.

She opened it and glanced at it.

"Traditional musical instruments, martial arts demonstrations, and a general stage design are all included."

Han Chun was somewhat surprised.

Lu Ran really knows everything.

At the end, she looked at the song's title.

"Dragon Fist".

Han Chun read the name aloud.

This name sounds very powerful.

She continued looking at the lyrics.

"With Dunhuang as the center, the northeastern part of this ethnic group's coastline resembles a bow."

"The Great Wall is like a dream awaiting its arrow for five thousand years."

"I used my arms to pull away the weight of this entire land~"

The opening lines of the lyrics immediately captured Han Chun's attention.

She immediately opened a map of China and found the location of Dunhuang on it.

Along the coastline, with Dunhuang as the center, it really does resemble a bow.

In addition, a song demo was also included.

After listening to the document, Han Chun immediately took it to his superior.

Forget movie promotional songs, this song is perfect for our KTV New Year's Eve celebration!
If someone wants to use K-site's traffic for free to promote a movie, they'll have to pay for it.

But Lu Ran is different this time.

The stage effects of this song will definitely be great, and the cultural message it conveys is also quite good.

Not long after, Lu Ran received a message from Han Chun.

"Go for it with Dragon Fist!"

After discussing the specifics with Han Chun, Lu Ran informed Yang Guang.

"The Adventures of Little Carp" is coming soon!
