Entertainment Industry: I am a top-tier movie star

Chapter 64 Filming Wrap-up and Promotion

The last scene featuring Prince Jing, Xiao Jingyan, takes place outside a constructed palace hall.

There was no fierce fighting, nor any desperate shouting; they were simply dressed in princely robes, facing the rising sun, gazing at the distant outline of Nanjing.

"Click! Passed!"

Director Li Xue's voice came through the loudspeaker, carrying a hint of relief.

"Prince Jing, Xiao Jingyan, filming wrapped!"

Applause erupted from the audience.

After months of working together day and night, Chen Nianbei's dedication and professionalism have earned the respect of everyone on the crew.

Hu Ge walked over and patted him hard on the shoulder:

"Xiao Bei, happy wrap-up! You acted wonderfully, and I hope we can work together again in the future."

Senior figures such as Liu Tao, Chen Long, and Huang Weide also came to offer their congratulations.

Director Kong Sheng looked at Chen Nianbei, who was surrounded by the crowd, and a rare smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. He nodded to him.

After removing the heavy costume and headgear and washing off the makeup, Chen Nianbei felt much lighter, but the heavy weight of Xiao Jingyan still lingered in her heart.

He bid farewell to the director, co-stars, and staff one by one, thanking them for their guidance and care.

The journey of "Nirvana in Fire" has temporarily come to an end.

Without lingering, Chen Nianbei boarded a flight back to Beijing early the next morning.

Outside the airplane window, the sea of ​​clouds churned. He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes to rest, and began to think about the promotional campaign for "Take My Brother Away".

Returning to the school I hadn't been to in so long, the air was filled with the scent of early spring.

Pushing open the dormitory door, he was greeted by Zhang Lei's smile and a huge schedule spread out on the table.

"We've been waiting for you to come back!"

Zhang Lei gave him a firm hug, then eagerly pulled him to the table.

"Look! Enlight Media has sent over the preliminary roadshow and promotional plan. We need to check it out quickly and finalize your schedule!"

Wang Hao and Li Xiang were also there, one playing games and the other rushing to finish his homework. They both looked up and greeted him with smiles.

"Nianbei is back!"

Chen Nianbei smiled, put down his luggage, and moved closer to the table.

The itinerary was densely marked with different colored highlighters.

"The movie is scheduled for release on March 14th, a weekend, and it plays the heartwarming card of 'the most precious gift is companionship'."

Zhang Lei pointed to the table, "The publicity campaign started its warm-up at the end of February, and entered its intensive phase in March. The core is a roadshow in fifteen cities, with one or two days spent in each city, mainly consisting of movie theater meet-and-greets and a small number of campus/shopping mall events."

He pointed to several cities that were highlighted:

"Baidu, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Xi'an, Changsha... these are the must-visit ticket markets and major cities."

Enlight Media suggests that the lead actors, especially you, Hao Chun, and Zhou Yiran, should appear in at least ten shows.

I calculated that if I schedule it tightly, it will take about twenty days to complete all the runs, almost spanning the entire month of March.

Chen Nianbei quickly scanned the dates:

"No problem, I don't have anything else planned for March."

Zhang Lei pulled out another document:

"This is the tentative schedule, take a look. For example, the premiere and first roadshow of BJ on March 2nd, flying to Shanghai on March 4th, the event on the 5th, and possibly going to Hangzhou on the 6th... There will be some media interviews and online live broadcasts interspersed in between."

Chen Nianbei picked up a pen and began to mark things on the schedule:

"We could consider adding another show in Changsha. 'Battle of Changsha' just finished airing, so the audience base there might be better."

"no problem!"

Zhang Lei readily agreed.

"I've already spoken with Haocun and Yiran. Their schools will coordinate the holidays, so there won't be any problems with them accompanying me. Wang Hao will also be going to a few places for promotional activities."

"In addition, the content of the roadshow also needs to be designed."

It can't just be the creators greeting each other and the audience asking questions; there needs to be some interactive elements, ideally integrated with the emotional core of the film.

For example, we could collect stories about "me and my brother/sister" and read them aloud, or organize some lighthearted games like a "test of sibling harmony."

Chen Nianbei thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.

"That's a great idea!"

Zhang Lei's eyes lit up, and he immediately jotted it down in his notebook: "I'll meet with the publicity team at Enlight Media later and design a few memorable segments."

Also, regarding materials, the new trailer and theme song MV will be released next week, so remember to retweet them on Weibo.

During the promotional period, you need to maintain a certain level of activity on Weibo, sharing behind-the-scenes footage of the roadshow, stories from the filming process, and so on.

"clear."

Chen Nianbei was no stranger to these publicity procedures.

The two carefully checked the details of the itinerary, transportation, accommodation, and division of labor again.

Although this was Zhang Lei's first time leading a film's promotion and distribution, he learned a lot from Enlight Media during the preparation period. His clear and organized approach made things much easier for Chen Nianbei.

The discussion came to an end, and Wang Hao finally finished a game and came over:

"Finished chatting? Nianbei, you just escaped Prince Jing's pit, and now you're jumping into Brother Shifen's pit for a promotional tour. Can you manage? Don't exhaust yourself."

"It's alright, as long as there's a plan."

Chen Nianbei stretched her stiff neck.

Li Xiang also looked up: "Brother Bei, will you need any photos or short video footage for the roadshow? I recently learned how to use some new equipment and can do freelance filming!"

"Sure, we'll see how it goes. I'll call you if needed."

Chen Nianbei smiled.

The warm and familiar noise in the dormitory allowed him to completely relax from the highly tense and focused state he had been in on the film set.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Nazha:

"Did she go back to school? Sister Li flew to Guangzhou for a meeting today, and I even sent her assistant away! (Happy)"

Chen Nianbei checked the time and replied, "Just got back, in my dorm. Want to come to your apartment tonight?"

"Okay! I'll be waiting for you~" Naza replied quickly.

After putting down her phone, Chen Nianbei said to Zhang Lei:

"That's roughly it. You can finalize the details with the lighting team."

"All done!"

Zhang Lei put away the thick stack of documents, his face showing a mixture of anticipation and pressure.

"Nianbei, our movie is really about to be released. It all hinges on this."

Chen Nianbei patted him on the shoulder:

"Relax, we are confident in the quality of the film itself. We've done our best in promotion; the rest is up to the audience."

The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

Chen Nianbei took a shower and changed out of her travel-worn clothes.

The fatigue from filming has not yet completely dissipated, but the promotion for "Take My Brother Away" is about to begin.

From filming in Hengdian to planning and discussing in school dormitories, and now to the upcoming nationwide roadshow.

An actor's path is never just about the fleeting brilliance in front of the camera, but also about the solid cultivation and delivery of every step before and after the creation of a work.

He picked up his coat, walked out of the dormitory building, and blended into the night in Beijing.

Inside the apartment, there was one light on, and someone was waiting.

On March 14th, a cinematic journey about siblings, family, and companionship awaits them, ready to open the hearts of the audience.
