The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 132

Another year passed, and on New Year's Day, Hong Chen and Yan Yileng had a video chat.

"Happy New Year." Yan Yileng smiled sweetly.

"Happy New Year." Hong Chen looked at the beautiful woman in the camera and sighed slightly.

"How about the new movie? Isn't post-production done yet?"

"Well, let's do it again. Yan Chi is in charge of the later work. I'm very assured of his ability."

"That's right, isn't my brother also planning to cooperate with your studio for a long time? I wish you all success in your career, and don't forget me when you have a good script."

"Don't worry, I can't wait to get you over with."

Now that the film has been finalized, all that remains is the work of publicity.This kind of work is underwritten by a special publicity and distribution company, and the price is not cheap.

Ge Chen contacted a reliable publicity company and settled the matter.

They selected a group of good promotional videos and posted them on the Internet, which also aroused heated discussions.

It's just that during the Spring Festival, the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers. This is a huge cake, and everyone wants to get a piece of it.

Under such pressure, the quality of the movie is not good enough, and it is useless no matter how popular it is.For example, Brother Yuanlong's movie "Detective Pu Songling" during the Spring Festival, changed from the previous style of action and martial arts to the fantasy style, but was ruthlessly crushed by four or five other movies.

Of course, advocacy work is equally important.

"It's a lot of pressure." Yan Chi took the time to chat with Hong Chen, and when they met, his face looked very serious.

"What's wrong?" Hong Chen asked with concern.

"I learned internal data from my dad that a total of 164 movies were screened nationwide during the Spring Festival."

"So much?" Hong Chen said in surprise.

In fact, this is not much, and the parallel world is the same. Movies released in theaters during the Spring Festival will be counted, but there are only about 10 movies that really attract people's attention.

Taking 17 as an example, the top 10 box office movies accounted for 99.36% of the total box office, and the rest accounted for 0.64%. This is the reality of the film and television industry.

"This is not too much, because there are not many with a slightly larger investment, but this year's Spring Festival is really under great pressure." Yan Chi said again, "Yuanlong's "Kung Fu Yoga" is a comedy, and Hong Kong's Runfa's "Olympic Yoga" is a comedy. "The Door 3" is a comedy, and there is also the big fantasy movie "Three Fights of the Bones" by Aaron Kwok, the four kings of heaven, and the most exaggerated is the second part of Xingye's Journey to the West: "Journey to the West"!"

"What? Yuanlong, Runfa, Aaron Kwok, Master Xing?" Hearing these names, Hong Chen felt slightly chilled.

What kind of fairy fight is this?
It's like King Kong felt that he was about the same level of development. When he got out of the island, he found four Godzillas outside.
"Isn't it? It's such an exaggeration! There are two promotions that I already knew, and the remaining two are also so powerful?" Hong Chen said helplessly.

"Well, I have learned in detail that everyone has a different style and has their own advantages and disadvantages, but one thing is certain: comedy has crashed!"

"Phew, it's really making things worse." Hong Chen sighed with emotion.

Afterwards, both of them seemed to have something on their minds, and fell silent.

"Are you confident?" Yan Chi looked into the distance, his expression calmed down a lot.

Hong Chen understood what he meant, Yan Chi was ambitious like him, men should be ambitious.

Hong Chen nodded and said, "Of course, we won't necessarily lose in terms of quality. In the Spring Festival, the winner is whoever has the highest quality. We've done this battle!"

"Haha, well, it's good to have confidence. Since we want to be the best, we will defeat these people sooner or later. Since we have the opportunity, let's fight!"

The two made up their minds, and in fact, they had no way out.

The only way out is to withdraw the file. Withdrawal happens from time to time. When there is no confidence in their own film to compete with others, many crews will choose to withdraw the file.

Only by withdrawing files can we preserve our strength, so as to obtain greater benefits in the next less intense competition.

If the head is iron, it is likely to be beyond redemption.

But Hong Chen and Yan Chi are very confident.

They have a rough estimate of the quality of the movie, and both of them have good vision and market judgment, and they are confident that they can make it out of the Spring Festival where the strong gather.

They also knew that the first battle at Hongchen Studio would be a tough one!

After that, the film's publicity work began, which was also a big expense.

The publicity of the five films is overwhelming, and the comments on the films have become something that people talk about.

Many self-media and film critics who comment on movies, as well as various netizens who like to post on post bars, forums, Weibo and other places, are also predicting the box office ranking of the Spring Festival stalls.

Judging from the current situation, Master Xing's "Journey to the West" is basically all predicted to be the first because of the results of the first part.

The remaining rankings are relatively controversial, and there are various predictions, but the ranking of "Detective Chinatown" is still not high.

"Comedy and suspense, how do these two elements combine?" This is the question of most film critics.

Moreover, watching movies during the Chinese New Year is all about having a happy reunion, and the suspenseful market is not favored.

Hong Chen didn't pay much attention to the online comments, Ge Chen was responsible for these matters.

He and several other leading actors are flying to the cities in Sichuan and Chongqing to prepare for the promotion of the movie.

Sichuan-Chongqing Airport is the largest airport in Sichuan and Chongqing. It is extremely magnificent. It is a transportation hub and celebrities often appear here.

Somewhat similar to Hongqiao Airport, the first sister of Hongqiao back then, didn’t she become popular because there were too many celebrities taking photos together?

Hong Chen walked out of the safe passage, and suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him.

"Feifei, Feifei, we love you!"

"Oh my God, is Feifei here?"

"I love Feifei, where is Feifei?"

The sound was very noisy, Hong Chen glanced over and saw that the pick-up area at the airport exit was densely packed with a large group of fans, about 100 people.

These fans, holding support cards with various pink hearts painted on them, were staring at the exit with full face expectancy.

Most of the fans are female fans, and they don't look too old, but their faces are full of fanatic expressions.

Hong Chen also knew who they were talking about, Feifei. Xiao Fei, relying on the traffic of his debut in the draft, is now well-known in the entertainment industry.

The survival method of traffic stars is very simple, that is, they must maintain their traffic all the time, try their best to create an image of explosive popularity through various soft articles, and from time to time they have to make headlines because of inexplicable things, so as to maintain their status.

Therefore, the occasion of airport pick-up will inevitably be arranged.

But actors generally don't, unless the itinerary is revealed.

For example, big figures such as Xu Zheng and Huang Bo rarely heard of airport congestion caused by pick-ups, but as soon as they appeared, passers-by would spontaneously surround them.

"What are these people doing, blocking the intersection, the influence is so bad." Bao Qiang looked at the scene, frowned, and said simply.

Hong Chen nodded, because these fans were indeed a little too much, basically blocking the passage outside the exit.

"No way, this situation is normal, the fans are more fanatical." Hong Chen nodded.

"Ah, there it is, Feifei!" Suddenly, the fans started screaming again, the voice was very high-pitched, and the passers-by heard this and couldn't help frowning.

Hong Chen turned his head and saw a dozen bodyguards forming a circle, surrounding a well-dressed young man in the middle.

That person is naturally the traffic star Xiao Fei, but the momentum made people frown.

The circle surrounded by a dozen people basically blocked the road.

Hong Chen and his group walked slowly, at the back, but there was a passenger in front who was obviously not happy.

"Can you hurry up? Why are you blocking the road? Hurry up." This uncle is very straightforward. He just wants to hurry through the passage. He has been away on business for a long time and is anxious to go home to see his wife and children.

So, he yelled this sentence.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Seeing someone yelling at their idol, these fans were immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"You are sick, can't you wait?"

"With so many people, are you the only one in a hurry? Our 2 people waited for two hours and didn't say anything. Are you only two minutes away?"

"Your family opened the road? That's why we're here?"

"Brother Feifei, don't be angry, we don't have the same knowledge as this kind of person."

Seeing this scene, Hong Chen finally couldn't help frowning.

Where do these fans get their confidence from?
