Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 593 The United States "Talk Tonight"!
Around the various activities of "Wolf Warrior" and "The Truman Show", more than a dozen teams began to work.

The main promotion is "Wolf Warrior". In addition to the major variety shows, patriotic activities are the most applicable.

Mango Channel has an indoor talk show called "Bright Stars" that airs every Saturday night.

Li Zhifan and several main actors of "Wolf Warriors" participated in the recording of an episode, and the theme of this episode was specially planned with a patriotic theme. Not only soldiers from the army were invited, but also several red descendants, war years descendants of martyrs.

Regarding the promotion of "Wolf Warrior", I only mentioned one sentence when Li Zhifan and others appeared on the stage, and incidentally mentioned one sentence at the end of the show, and the rest of the time was completely focused on other guests. , I really thought he was here to host.

It is this kind of moistening and silent propaganda that is most effective.

Of course, there are also particularly high-profile patriotic activities, that is, to cooperate with CCTV and participate in several singing activities in military camps. Of course, Li Zhifan also sang songs such as "Chinese" and "Great China".

In addition, roadshows and tours across the country are also particularly important.

This kind of publicity is usually done in universities, and they are the main force in the film market. Only when they pay for it can the box office of the film be guaranteed.

For publicity, Li Zhifan has worked tirelessly. Usually, a publicity campaign lasts about an hour. However, the tour promotions that Li Zhifan participated in are at least two and a half hours long, and three hours is normal.

A publicity is divided into two parts, 50.00% of the time is about the movie "Wolf Warrior", showing the trailer and trailer for everyone, and 20.00% of the time is about "The Truman Show", about "The Limit" "Challenge" also released the trailer and teaser, and the rest of the time was arranged for students and actors to interact closely, sign autographs and take group photos.

This morning.

Li Zhifan had just finished a publicity campaign in Wuhan when Liu Zexin, who was far away in Beijing, called.

"Zhifan, Mr. David Rambo, the principal of the Boston Conservatory of Music in Berklee, USA, called and said that you haven't been to school for a long time, and I hope you can spare time to give a lecture."

"I know, but I have to wait until my schedule is free!"

Li Zhifan has been so busy with film affairs in the past six months, how could he care about going to the United States to give lectures?

"You have to go this time!"

Who knows, Liu Zexin said, "This time it's not just lectures, Boston College has signed a cooperation agreement with NBC's "Nightly Talk" to broadcast the lectures of the school's lecturers and professors. Because you are Chinese, they especially hope that you can participate, and this is a rare opportunity for you.”

"Oh?"

Li Zhifan thought about it, if he could promote the movie "Wolf Warrior" on this occasion, maybe he could break into Hollywood. In the act of participation, it is possible to enter Hollywood, the world's largest film factory, and it is also an opportunity worth trying.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What time is it?"

“Can be arranged anytime!”

Liu Zexin said, "This program is broadcast every Sunday to Thursday evening. They have been broadcast for more than 1958 years since 60 and have a large audience."

This type of talk show is not a single talk show, but a relatively complex indoor variety show. As long as it is conducted indoors, broadcast on the screen, and can make the audience relieve boredom, they can broadcast it.

Indoor interviews, song singing, indoor stage comedy, funny skits, etc.

In the past 60 years, the host alone has changed hundreds of people, and the planning team behind the scenes has changed batch after batch. A batch withered, and new blood came in immediately.

This time, I don't know which planning team planned such a series of programs.

Lecturers from ordinary colleges and universities will definitely not be particularly popular with the audience, but lecturers from music, film, acting, and drama colleges have become their targets.

The lineup of hosts has also changed. It is no longer a single host who controls the overall situation in the past. Instead, a host leads seven hosts and assistants. They sit among the students and put forward some humorous words during the lecture. Interesting questions, after the lecture the main coffee came to the stage for an interview.

Boston College is the fourth collaborating institution that "Talk Tonight" will cooperate with. When screening the list of lecturers, the planning team of "Talk Tonight" immediately took a fancy to Li Zhifan—because he is Chinese, because he is a star in China , because he has a legendary experience in China, even many Americans know his name.

Therefore, Li Zhifan became one of the invited lecturers.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning local time, Li Zhifan rushed to Boston College after landing.

David Rambo greeted him in person. After the meeting, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then took him to the conference room that had been prepared.

Indoors, the counselors arranged by the school, as well as the editor, director and planning team of the "Talk Tonight" program are all there.

"Hi! Lee! I'm Edward!"

The person in charge of "Talk Tonight" stood up and greeted him. I don't know when Lee became Li Zhifan's English name. In fact, he has never taken an English name, and he doesn't plan to. Since everyone wants to call him that, Just let them go!

"Hi!"

Li Zhifan shook hands with Edward, "It's a great pleasure to represent the school and your program for this cooperation!"

"Oh, you don't just represent the school!"

Edward said bluntly, "You still represent the East and China. I hope that in your class, you can talk about Chinese music, and bring something new to the students or the audience in front of the TV."

"I see!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Then I'll just talk casually, of course, it's about Huaxia."

"? Of-course!"

Edward spread his hands and said excitedly, "Our United States is a great country with freedom of speech, acceptance and tolerance of all cultures!"

"Well, so is China!"

Li Zhifan replied, "And we love peace more and don't interfere in the politics of other countries!"

I thought Edward would be annoyed by this sentence, but he shrugged helplessly: "On this point, I have always been very disappointed with the US government! My uncle lost a leg on the battlefield of Ah XX!"

"Oh, what a pity!" Li Zhifan deeply sympathized.

Unexpectedly, Edward laughed and said, "However, he now owns his own investment consulting company, and his income and life are good. It's just that the child doesn't seem to be his, and our family is tacit about this."

puff!
That feeling in Li Zhifan's heart, I really don't know what kind of feud this Edward has with his one-legged uncle.

After a few words, it came to the content of this lecture.

Edward hopes that Li Zhifan can talk a lot, because he is China's new king after all, and he is the only new king who has deserved his name in the past ten years, so I hope he can talk more during the lecture or the interview later. Let's talk about the Huaxia entertainment industry.

Li Zhifan immediately mentioned: "I made two films in the first half of the year, can you tell me about it?"

"Of course!"

Edward said, "However, if you say it in lectures, you have to be related to music, such as the soundtrack of a movie. If you say it in an interview, I may only give you a sentence."

"Can't we be together?"

Li Zhifan asked, "I mentioned it in the lecture, and you also mentioned it in the interview?"

"Oh no! Time is limited and we never do repetitive content, even with President Plante coming!"

At this point, Edward maintains the pride of a TV show practitioner.

However, Li Zhifan disagrees. If you talk about repetition, hasn't "Tonight Talk" often repeated his own things in the past 60 years?Many old memes will also appear in the new program, and sometimes the program clips recorded more than ten years ago will be commented on now.

The overall talk of the program was almost finished, and Li Zhifan improvised a brief retelling of the lecture content to the people in the conference room, omitting the part including the piano performance.

The on-site questions and interviews were not the live talk show that Li Zhifan thought, but the routines of questions and answers were formulated in advance, which disappointed Li Zhifan.

However, he couldn't guarantee whether the program team would play tricks on him and temporarily change the question when it was time to record live.

Edward is also going to make great efforts to have a good discussion with Li Zhifan about the questions and interviews. Unexpectedly, Li Zhifan memorized them all in just one pass, not a single word is bad, and a single grammar is not wrong. This really made Edward suffer a lot shock.

"OK, Li! Let's start preparing, we will start recording on time at 20 o'clock in the evening, live broadcast!"

Edward stood up and said.

"Yeah!" Li Zhifan rubbed his stomach, "This work meal is not very comfortable. After recording tonight's program, we will have a big meal together."

"Haha, okay! We can go eat Chinese food!" Edward seemed to be a foodie, and he almost drooled when he talked about this time.

After the program team left, David Rambo said to Li Zhifan: "Li, then I'll ask the students to gather in the concert hall, so hurry up and cooperate with everyone!"

"no need!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand and said, "I'm not used to things designed in advance, and I have a plan in mind, so I'm not afraid of anyone who comes!"

"Confident? Those who come are not afraid?"

David Rambo frowned, "You are really a confident person, so what are you going to do?"

Li Zhifan said with a smile: "I'm going to catch up on sleep, so that I can have enough energy for the night, and have a big fight with the host of "Talk Tonight"!"

……

The main host of "Talk Tonight" is Alan Harvey. He has been taking over the show for six months. This is already the longest time among the previous hosts.

Alan Harvey is relatively conservative, and his personal style is not bold enough. Although he is humorous enough, all he can play with are small jokes.

His previous hosts were almost all outspoken and were choked off by the public, and some of them openly insulted other people's skin color and race, and even insulted women on the show.

This opportunity to interview Li Zhifan was a very intense journey for Allen Harvey.

He was worried that he might use a certain word incorrectly, which would involve racial issues and be boycotted by the audience.

He was afraid that because he did not understand Chinese culture, he would say the wrong thing in front of Li Zhifan, which would give him the impression that he was uneducated.

So he prepared very seriously, and also consulted a few Chinese friends and learned a few Chinese words.

evening.

Just after seven o'clock, Alan Harvey arrived at Boston University early.

He hoped to meet Li Zhifan in advance to communicate.

However, when he arrived at the scene, he learned that Li Zhifan was still sleeping in the hotel.

"It's seven o'clock, is he still sleeping?"

Alan Harvey feels unbelievable, isn't this taking it too seriously?
But he knew Li Zhifan beforehand, he knew that he was a veteran who had debuted for five years, and he had much more experience in camera work than him.

But the national conditions are different. This is the United States, but it is still a live broadcast. I naturally hope that Li Zhifan can pay as much attention to it as he does.

Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for half an hour, there was still no sign of Li Zhifan.

Alan Harvey couldn't help finding the head of the school, David Rambo: "Mr. Rambo, Lee, is he still sleeping? I want to talk to him about the show!"

"I know you've been waiting a long time!"

David Rambo had an expression of "I can't help it", "The staff at the hotel informed me that he has already set off, and I think he will arrive soon."

"Mr. Rambo, forgive me for being nervous, but can you give him a call? I mean, make a call in front of me and let me make sure he is really on the way!" Alan Harvey looked at Looking at his watch, he said eagerly.

"This... ok!"

David Rambo took out his mobile phone, "I'll play it for you on speakerphone!"

The call went through within a few minutes.

in the hotel.

Li Zhifan had just washed up, and the stylist was doing his hair. He was going to be on TV today, so he had to do his makeup, and his hair had to be done to look good.

When the phone rang, Li Zhifan glanced at it and saw that it was David Rambo's name, so he picked it up: "Hello! Dean, I'll be right there. I'm almost at the school gate!"

"OK!"

David Rambo said with a satisfied smile: "The host Alan is waiting for you, and I hope to chat with you about tonight's show."

"Oh?" Li Zhifan said, "Then tell him not to wait, it's a talk show! The important thing is the ability to react on the spot. I have watched his video, and the scene is very exciting. And the tricks that are prepared in advance are not as flexible as the scene. happy."

"This……"

David Rambo on the other end of the phone put away his phone, glanced at Allen, and smiled helplessly, "How about it, Mr. Harvey, I don't think you need to be nervous, you didn't say hello to the lecturers in our school in the previous few games !"

"It's different, it's different!"

Allen frowned, "I hope he knows that this is an American TV show, watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world, and it will be broadcast to China. There is our online proxy broadcasting platform over there. He has to take it seriously, you know?"
