The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 156 Mid-Autumn festival, start

The subsequent scenes were simple, and only some shots were left.

For example, when Li Jie walked out of the palace, Hong Chen couldn't bear to kill him, but the surrounding soldiers shouted: "My lord, kill me! My lord, kill me!"

This scene is to capture Hong Chen's hesitation and intolerance, as well as the change in his expression when he finally becomes ruthless.

There are also some action scenes, which also require him to play against Chao Wei and make up shots.

Hong Chen and Zhang Hai said that they hope to shoot for a few more days to make the film more perfect, and he is not in a hurry to leave.

"Aren't you rushing to announce the release of the next drama?" Zhang Hai asked suspiciously.

He wished Hong Chen could stay for a few more days, but this time it was rather urgent to find Hong Chen to act, and there was no coordinating schedule in the early stage, so he could understand Hong Chen leaving early.

"It will take a while there for the time being. Director Zhang, you asked me to come and shoot the movie. I must make the best of your movie before I leave." Hong Chen replied with a smile.

Of course, in reality, he wanted to spend a few more days with Yan Yileng.

Zhang Hai was very moved, and felt that Hong Chen was very reliable in doing things from beginning to end.

So, after a while, Hong Chen didn't leave Hengdian until the beginning of August.

During these days, he and Yan Yileng were also extremely happy.

Then, it was the publicity work of "Scorching Sun".

The release of this film is in charge of contacting theaters by Blue Star Films, and the publicity requires Cao Baoping and several leading actors to attend several events.

However, the film also encountered some problems.

First of all, the department responsible for reviewing the film had some disagreements over the film.Some people think that the content of this drama is too dark and the scale is too large, so they disagree with overpromising.

Others think it's no big deal.

Crossing the province is a very troublesome thing. If the department does not agree, the director can only take the film back, re-edit it and then apply for review.

After Hong Chen found out about this, he immediately called Yan Chi.

"Hey, Yan Chi, ask Uncle Yan, what's the matter with "The Scorching Sun" hasn't finished yet? I want to know more about it."

Hong Chen felt that the situation was not right, because logically, the film should not have failed the review.

Of course, what Hong Chen didn't know was that the film in the parallel world had been delayed for five years before it could be screened.

"Okay, just wait for me." After hearing Hong Chen's request, Yan Chi immediately called his father to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Not long after, Yan Chi called Hong Chen back.

"Bad news, it seems that this movie is in trouble, obviously someone is messing with you." Yan Chi's voice sounded serious.

"Fuck us? Who is it?" Hearing Yan Chi's news, Hong Chen's voice also sank.

"I don't know the specifics, but what is certain is that a movie of the same period as you is doing this. It's not like you don't understand malicious competition."

"Malicious competition." Hearing this, Hong Chen's face darkened.

Malicious competition is too common in this industry.

To put it bluntly, in order to make their own movies more popular, some producers will wantonly slander and smear other people's movies through some shady means.

Even at the expense of labeling other people's movies as "bad movies".

The most common method of malicious competition is to brush ratings.It is to hire a large number of sailors to go to Maoyan, search for tickets, check ratings, and check reviews, so as to create the illusion that this is a bad movie for the audience.

Audiences often look at the ratings and reviews before watching a movie. This kind of operation will undoubtedly cause the movie's box office to drop off a cliff.

There are various methods of vicious competition attack, such as spraying plot, spraying character design, spraying acting skills, spraying small fresh meat.
And the audience is easily brought in, thinking that everyone thinks so, so he thinks so too.

After all, some viewers are not particularly rational.Others said it was a bad movie, and he also thought it was a bad movie, otherwise he was worried that others would say his aesthetics were too low-level.

In fact, some films really cannot be defined as "bad films", after all, there are many people who like them.

Of course, there are also many rational viewers who will not listen to other people's random comments. They have their own opinions and think that it is good. Whether others say it is a bad movie or not has nothing to do with me.

There are relevant local rules that explicitly prohibit malicious competition.

But the market is regulated by people, and there will always be people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

It is normal for movies to have competition. For example, during the Spring Festival last year, "Detective Chinatown" competed with four big-budget movies on the same stage, and everyone showed their talents.

At this time, each company is promoting its own movies through short videos, advertisements, etc., and constantly attracting fans, so as to gain higher popularity.

This is healthy competition.

The situation of vicious competition is very complicated, and it is not uncommon for the producers of the two films to pinch each other.

"There are two movies in the same period, one is "Dream Chasing Music Circle" and the other is "Nine-story Demon Tower". Which one will it be?" Hong Chen wondered.

In this situation, it is very troublesome.

Because the other party has made it clear that they want to fuck you, and they have already torn their faces.

The box office of a movie is in units of [-] million. If you make a profit, you can make a lot of money, and if you lose it, you may go bankrupt.

So for the box office, many producers have given up their moral bottom line.

Hong Chen didn't need to worry about crossing provinces. Cao Baoping was also a formidable person. It took a lot of effort to clear up the relationship with the higher authorities, but the matter was resolved.

However, being cheated by others, there is always a bit of discomfort in it.

Moreover, since the opponent has already started to play tricks, he will definitely not let it go.

Then, the publicity work started, and Cao Baoping took Hong Chen, Guo Tao, Duan Hong and others to the city's publicity activities to create momentum for the film.

Audiences in several cities were enthusiastic.

However, due to the small amount of investment on the Internet and the lack of eye-catching themes, the response of the movie on the Internet is mediocre, not as good as those of the previous movies.

This situation is normal, and Cao Baoping's films are originally of this style.

With so many excellent films before him, he rarely exploded during the promotional stage.Of course, his own reluctance to spread the publicity is also one aspect.

Because publicity is expensive, the amount spent is exaggerated.

Just a short video platform will cost at least tens of millions to promote.

There are many crews, and it is not uncommon for the cost of publicity to be higher than the cost of filming.

Cao Baoping is more willing to invest money in filming. In his opinion, publicity work must be done, but there is no need to be so fanfare.

On the other hand, it was "Dream Music Circle", because the publicity campaign was well publicized, and the subject matter told the story of a group of young people working hard for music, it became a small hit.

Moreover, the producers of "Dream Chasing Music Circle" spent some money to make their movie a hot search on Weibo.

The flow of this movie skyrocketed for a while.

For such a result, Cao Baoping was very calm.

He believes that the real key to a movie is whether it will be recognized by the audience after it is released.

After all, whoever laughs last laughs best.

Several movies are scheduled for September 9th, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The day is gradually approaching, when the time comes, it is bound to be another tragic fight.
