Chapter 34 Propaganda and Road Selection
2011, April 1.

clear.

The weather is cold.

Zhou Mo is editing the promotional video for "If You Are the One 2".

The promotion of "Non 2" has already begun on Mile Station.

In addition to ghost videos and remixes, Huayi also proposed that Zhou Mo should use at least his own account to provide at least one promotional video for "Fei 2", with a total playback volume of xx million.

Zhou Mo agreed readily because it was not difficult.

However, this time he didn't plan to continue making ghost videos, but to change the style of the video——

Seamlessly.

The specific content is to edit different works into one work through the same actor or object, and finally achieve a harmonious dramatic effect.

Zhou Mo chose two connection points.

One is Uncle Ge.

He plays key roles in "Bullet", "Non-1" and "Non-2", and can tie the plot together.

As for the second connection point.

This is a life choice that appears in all three movies: GAY.

The second one in "Bullet";

Feng Yuanzheng in "Fei 1" and Jianguo played by Liao Fan in "Fei 2".

The three of them all played gay characters in the play, and had contact with Ge Da Ge.

Zhou Mo planned to edit the three of them together, and the content would be that these three people became different after meeting Uncle Ge.

As for the title, he had already thought of it.

Look what you have done!

Right now, Zhou Mo has finished the plot for the second brother and is preparing to start editing Feng Yuanzheng's plot, which involves the robbery on the train in "A World Without Thieves" and the plot in "Non-1" where he approaches Qin Fen and expresses his love for him.

Zhou Mo watched Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills in the video and sighed in his heart.

This guy's acting skills are really good. It's no exaggeration to say that he can play any role well.

Whether it's the domestic violence man in "Don't Talk to Strangers", the stupid robber in "A World Without Thieves", or Jianguo in "Non-1".

Although there are only a few short sentences, the character is brought to life.

There is no affectation at all, but instead makes people feel that this is how the role should be.

"So strong, so strong!"

A cold wind blew halfway through the journey, and Zhou Mo prepared to put on some autumn johns.

I had just taken off half of my pants when I heard a rustling sound behind me.

Turning around, Zhu Yilong, wearing an apron, was staring at Teacher Feng on the screen and Zhou Mo who was taking off his pants, his eyes full of insecurity.

"Zhou Mo, I didn't expect you to..."

Zhu Yilong wiped away his non-existent tears and said, "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Zhou Mo sneered: "Why, you plan to have me all to yourself?"

Zhu Yilong: …

He had never seen such a way of playing that hurt the enemy by 800 but his own by 10,000.

"You can't fix it for me all at once."

Zhou Mo saved the video, which was the experience brought by countless tears.

Looking back:
"What do you want from me?"

"I'm calling you to eat."

Zhou Mo glanced at the time and found that it was already noon. He picked up his coat and followed Zhu Yilong to the living room.

At the dinner table, the two of them ate and chatted.

"Shi Shi and Hu Ge are really working hard. They have been accepting a lot of notices in the past two days."

"People who come out of the Sugar Man Company tend to have a bit of a workaholic style."

"The variety show Shishi and I are participating in will be aired tomorrow, so this is a good opportunity to stir up some buzz."

"Don't forget to post updates on the website."

The two were talking about the promotion of "Myth".

The premiere date of "Myth" was determined very early.

1 month 10 number.

The crew's promotion for the drama began last month.

Because "The Myth" was being broadcast in a pre-production stage, the crew placed the publicity center in Yanjing.

Zhu Yillong doesn't have a house in Yanjing, so he's temporarily staying at Zhou Mo's house.

The house he rented was too far away and it was inconvenient to commute.

Zhou Mo expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.

"In other entertainment novels, every time the protagonist's work is released, there is always a beautiful woman accompanying him. It's either the Great Tang Poet or the Four Little Flowers. Why is it you who is the one here?"

Zhu Yilong: "Then I'll leave?"

After saying that, he pretended to pack up his things.

Zhou Mo made a "please" gesture, meaning:

"Please begin your performance."

Zhu Yilong was helpless and sat back at the table: "You can't blame me for this. I don't have a house either."

"Buy it."

"No money!" Zhu Yilong sighed, "I have to say, idol dramas do make money. Shi Shi and Lao Hu are much richer than me." He was somewhat stimulated by his experiences during this period.

He has obviously been filming all the time.

But when it comes to income, Hugo is two or three steps ahead of him.

For example, the publicity during this period.

Hu Ge has a house in Yanjing, so he can just go home after doing the promotion every day.

"And I can only stay at your house.

Weak, helpless, and pitiful."

Zhou Mo: ...

"That's enough. It's just a house. You'll have it when you finish filming."

Zhu Yilong blushed a little and explained, "It's not about the house. I'm just a little confused and don't know how to develop in the future."

He was talking about the choice between actors with good acting skills and those with high popularity.

In the film and television industry, the topics of acting skills and traffic are long-standing and enduring.

In the past, when it came to status, the acting talent was definitely superior to the traffic talent.

In Yingzhou and Tousheng, there has always been a strict hierarchy between actors and idols. There was even a rule that when two groups of people met, the latter had to bow to the former.

Although it is not so exaggerated in China.

But in terms of fame, those with good acting skills are still much better than those with high popularity.

However, with the development of the film and television industry, the influx of capital, and the rise of idol culture, the ability of traffic groups to make money has expanded rapidly.

This so-called status gap gradually blurred.

Along with this, many practitioners have seen changes in their path choices.

After all, status is something that cannot be seen or touched.

But the money is real.

In the future, there will be many confused actors like Zhu Yilong.

Some of them will switch from the acting field to the traffic field.

The most typical representative is big honey.

From being a child star, acting in serious dramas, and training in a professional field, to becoming a traffic expert, betting, and capital operator, this person has been the most thorough in his transformation on the road, bar none.

It was difficult for Zhou Mo to say whether this choice was right or not.

After all, through this transformation, Da Mi went from being an acting talent with unknown potential to a superstar who is famous all over the world.

He even became one of the richest actors in the entertainment industry.

“I can’t give you advice on this kind of thing, and making money is not always easy.

The acting industry is definitely not poor. Although the pay of actors with good acting skills is not as good as that of popular stars, it is definitely enough to spend. It all depends on how far you want to go. "

Zhou Mo didn't intend to give any advice.

At most he can give people pointers on how to act, but he can't help them choose their path.

Helping others is a troublesome thing. If you succeed, you may not get any benefits, but if you fail, you will definitely be blamed.

Zhu Yillong also knew in his heart that only he could decide the path to take.

Seeing that Zhou Mo had changed the subject, he followed up by saying, “I know this play will definitely make money, but I don’t want to buy a house yet.”

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to invest!" Zhu Yillong said with great confidence.

Zhou Mo was stunned, then asked: "You don't want to invest in stocks, do you?"

"correct."

Zhou Mo: "...Excuse me, Mr. Zhu, how did you come up with this fresh and unconventional idea?"

"Is it refreshing and refined?" Zhu Yilong raised his eyebrows: "Internet experts have said that the stock market will achieve rapid development in the future."

Zhou Mo advised: "Teacher Ju, just listen to the expert's words. If you take them seriously, you will lose. I suggest you buy a house when you have money."

Zhu Yilong shook his head. "I heard from experts that housing prices have reached their peak in the past two years and will definitely drop in the future. Zhou Mo, if you believe me, find a chance to sell the extra houses you have."

Zhou Mo:?
Didn’t I advise you? Why did you let it go?

He glanced at the energetic Zhu Yillong and thought to himself, it’s you, Longlong.

Always able to do some amazing things.

Come to think of it, this guy does seem to be quite stubborn.

Zhou Mo didn't plan to say more.

It’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words, so just let Zhu Yilong invest in stocks.

When all the money is lost in the future, the child will know to come back.

I guess I can save some money on film remuneration by then.

Two days later.

eight pm.

"Myth" officially aired.

　The Spring Festival Gala is over. I wonder how everyone’s viewing experience was.
