superstar director

Chapter 477
On a Friday at the beginning of August, the weather in China is officially scorching summer. At 10:30 am, Hot Pot Hero's first promotion!Kyoto Station, will soon kick off at Shangri-La Hotel, Kyoto!

As a small-budget movie that will be released nationwide in two days, their publicity offensive cannot compare with those big movies, but because among the leading actors, there are first-line acting talents like Chen Kun, and Ning Tong. Popular star idols, and comedy stars like Yu Entai who are popular all over the country, so both the director and the investors actually value this movie very much, and they also have a psychological expectation for the box office performance, so they don’t care about it when promoting it. As stingy as people think, at least it is much larger than the scale of the director's first film "Nightclub" when it was released!

Because Ning Tong is going back to China to participate in the film promotion, she can only rush back to China first, but she heard from Sister Lin that Shi Shi and Ying Bao will not be able to play abroad for a few days, because their films will also be in China one after another It's out.At that time, they will naturally be indispensable for publicity.

When the car arrived at the front gate of Shangri-La, before it even got close, Ning Tong had already seen a crowd of reporters!
The film lineup this time is not luxurious, but Ning Tong alone is enough to attract countless reporters. In addition, the news that Bao Jijie bullied Ning Tong broke out in the crew of "Qixi" some time ago, everyone is worried that there is no place to interview Ning Tong. As for Tong, this meeting will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

So when they saw Ning Tong in the car, those reporters immediately surrounded him!

It's a pity that the car didn't intend to stop at all, and drove directly to the back door.

As soon as he turned the corner, Ning Tong saw Chen Kun, Yu Entai and others.Talking and laughing at the door.

There are many security guards on both sides of the back door, and the venue is cleaned very cleanly, ensuring that every artist who comes here is absolutely safe.

The license plate number, they have already told the Shangri-La people.Immediately, the parking attendant walked up to the front and gave instructions.

After getting out of the car, Ning Tong immediately heard cheers.

"Xiaotong, are you here?" "I heard you went abroad for a trip?" Chen Kun and the others greeted Ning Tong with a smile when they saw Ning Tong get off the car.

"Hello, Brother Kun, and Brother Yu. I just went to Paris for a few days, and I haven't played much, so I was called back." Ning Tong said with a smile, "Where are the other teachers and Director Yang? Why are there only Brother Kun and Brother Yu?" arrive?"

"Director Yang has arrived and is accepting an exclusive interview from the contemporary film industry. This time they sent a deputy editor here, and the specification is not bad." Chen Kun said with a smile, and the three of them walked into the hotel for a year while laughing. go.

Walking into the venue, Ning Tong immediately saw a table covered with red tablecloth. There were seven tables in total, and two name tags were placed on each table.Above is the name, below is the role played.

And behind the table, there are three large posters.It is five or six meters long, with four big characters of "Hot Pot Heroes" written on it with vigorous strokes.Next to it is the cast list.

There are very few reporters in the hall, only five or six. The reporters have not been released yet, and those who can come in are all large-scale entertainment media that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the contemporary film industry.

Seeing them coming in, the reporters rushed over immediately.

Chen Kun and Yu Entai smiled, they were ready to be interviewed.

However, he didn't expect that the reporters rushed to Ning Tong's side almost all of them, causing the smiles on his face to froze.

"This girl." Chen Kun smiled wryly, "You will always be the focus."

"I'm only in my early 20s, and I'm still in school at this age." Yu Entai also sighed a little, "I can't help it, who would let someone have a big brother named Ning Cheng!"

And the four or five reporters had all stretched out their microphones, and two even gave up their microphones and used cameras. They took a few photos without any explanation, regardless of whether Ning Tong was ready or not.

Since Ning Tong came in, she has switched to a friendly and pleasant mode, and the smile on her face is perfect.She is already familiar with dealing with reporters, so she doesn't panic at all!
"Ning Tong! Excuse me, have you been bullied by Bao Jijie on the crew of "Qixi" before?"

"Ning Tong, may I ask how did Bao Jijie bully everyone in the crew, or did he only target you?"

"Miss Ning, I would like to ask, is it because of your brother Ning Sheng that Bao Jijie wants to deal with you?"

Facing questions from reporters.Ning Tong laughed, "I'm sorry everyone, this is the hot pot hero's press conference, not my personal press conference, nor the press conference of the "Qixi" crew. If you want to ask my personal questions, or "Qixi" crew related questions , please go to another time and find another opportunity.”

"Is it okay to say a few words?" The reporters were obviously not reconciled.

Sister Lin hurried up, "Please don't embarrass our artists, everyone should know the rules."

Doing additional publicity at a press conference is a big taboo at a press conference. Although the reporters are helpless, they have to abide by it.

Sister Lin came here this time because she was also worried about any problems, especially about Bao Jijie. She was worried that Ning Tong would be provoked by the reporters and talk nonsense, so she followed.

Not long after Ning Tong and Chen Kun sat down, it was time for the press conference to start. The reporters who had applied for interview qualifications filed in. The hotpot hero press conference was held on time!

The door of Shangri-La opened, and dozens of reporters rushed in like buying a supermarket in the last days. Whoever got there first could find the best camera angle.

Occasionally there are some messy and talking voices. Most of these are new reporters. It is impossible for old people to waste time interviewing such a low-cost movie.It's just for newcomers to practice.As for this, most of these reporters came here for Ning Tong and Chen Kun, the two most popular stars. As for the movie itself, it was not the focus of their attention. It was just a low-cost comedy anyway.

And the director's last work "Nightclub" performed well, but it is not worth mentioning in the national film and television industry. It doesn't have a super high reputation, and it doesn't have a hot box office. Who would care about you as a new director.

The tacit understanding among the newcomers was unavoidably insufficient, so after a while, the reporters who came first chose their positions.

When the reporters had almost finished entering, there was another photography brigade with nearly ten people.Big newspapers, magazines, TV stations, the big ones are cameras and tripods.Small ones, some with a DV, and some came directly with a mobile phone.

Ten security guards also came in through the doors on both sides, watching the scene seriously, and forbidding any disturbance.

Agents, investors' representatives, and producers' representatives were separated on both sides of the main stage, but there were no famous brands.They knew that reporters would not be interested in them.They just need to show their faces.

The six people on the main stage are today's protagonists.

Ning Tong looked at the reporters off the field, and he even saw the logos of some local stations on the camera.There are many brands hanging on the cameras, which are xx magazines and xx newspapers.It is simply a large collection of domestic entertainment magazines and TV stations, but there are not many real big media among them, and there are many small and medium-sized media reporters.

After about 10 minutes, the scene finally quieted down.

"Thank you very much for coming to our Hot Pot Hero crew promotional meeting. On behalf of the producers, investors, and the companies of our artists, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your hard work." Director Yang spoke, and according to his identity, he must be He does the beginning and the end.

Next, the executive director began to explain the script of Hot Pot Heroes, as well as changes and shooting styles.

"Hey, it's the same thing again. My ears are calloused." A reporter said quite dissatisfied.

"Yeah, hurry up and end this paragraph!" The experienced people next to him also echoed, what they wanted was the free interview stage later.

However, the flashes of the shots on both sides never stopped for a moment.The people on the stage were still smiling, and Ning Tong already felt that his eyes were shaking, so he had to endure it and keep smiling.But I was muttering to myself, if only I could wear sunglasses here!Even if you are distracted, you are not afraid of being discovered.

The executive director also knows exactly what the journalists want.After speaking for less than 10 minutes, he announced that he was entering a free interview.

Reporters also have rules. They will not be like sparrows when they hear free interviews, and they can't hear who is talking.The general rule is that if someone asks a question, as long as he is in front, the people behind will have to wait.

"Director Yang, it has been several years since you last filmed "Nightclub". Where have you been all these years? Why did you start shooting a new movie after so long?" A reporter was the first to stand up and ask.

Ning Tong clearly saw that the reporters below immediately started whispering, and the camera lens, camera lens, turned around in unison.

As soon as Director Yang opened his mouth, there was a flash bombardment!

"First of all, thank you for your concern and concern for me personally," Director Yang said, but he couldn't continue after he said a sentence.

The shutter sound of "咔咔咚" rang into an ocean!The dazzling flash almost turned the hall of Shangri-La into a thunderstorm!

It's not the first time for him to stand on this kind of stage, but it is the first time that there are so many media and so many flashing lights like today. He knows that these people are not only hired because of the money paid by the investors, but more It still drags the light of Ning Tong, Chen Kun and Yu Entai in the movie, especially Ning Tong, although this popular idol is still a newcomer in the film industry, but he can't stand up to his strength in other aspects. He is a super popular idol who has done a global tour A member of the group has also filmed three popular TV series with ratings breaking three, so Director Yang told himself more than once that it was like a dream to invite Ning Tong to be the heroine of his movie!
But now, looking at the flashing lights, what he felt the most was the real pain of being a star.Even now, he didn't squint his eyes and faced it with a smile.

This was just a press conference. He thought of the big award ceremonies on TV, the flashing lights that could turn the night into day, and the crazy ocean of light sticks.A person walking on the red carpet may be proud, and while the pride is filling his heart, there is also suffering in his heart.Of course, no matter how hard his heart is and how uncomfortable his eyes are, he still wants to join in and become one of them!This is one of the motivations for his hard work!

When the flash bomb subsided, a pen of the reporters hovered in their hands, only waiting for Director Yang to speak.Even if we are not talking about Ning Tong and Chen Kun at this time, for a movie, a director is always indispensable, especially for such a young and talented director, even if he is not well-known, the material cannot be ignored. Got it.

Director Yang said with a smile, "Actually, after the filming of "Nightclub" was finished, I received many invitations to cooperate with me——."

He explained with a smile.But the reporter's pen below has infinite magic power. It's one thing for him to say it, but it's another thing for others to write it.After a few more people asked the director questions, finally someone couldn't help but turned the question to Ning Tong.

"Ning Tong, when you took over this movie, you gave up Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" because of this. Now "The Great Wall" is scheduled for the Lunar New Year, but "Hot Pot Heroes" is released in the summer to avoid "The Great Wall" So did you deliberately put the schedule on the Lunar New Year file?" A male reporter with eyes asked excitedly, while the other reporters also excitedly stretched out their microphone recorders, waiting for Ning Tong's answer.

Ning Tong glanced at the reporter, and said, "Actually, you shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask the director and producer, because the schedule of the movie is not set by me, nor can I set it. To avoid "The Great Wall", I think this question is very boring. The two films are not of the same type at all, and "The Great Wall" is an international blockbuster with an investment of [-] million US dollars. I heard that director Zhang Yimou is targeting the international market. We "Hot Pot Heroes" is just a small-budget domestic comedy, which is not comparable at all, and there are no unavoidable problems, I hope everyone will stop talking about such boring problems." Ning Tong glanced at the director after finishing speaking , the director gave a positive look.

However, before Ning Tong could take a sip of water, another reporter from the underground asked, "Then you mean that the small-budget "Hot Pot Hero" can't compare with the big-budget "The Great Wall", right? So do you regret it now?" ?”

Fuck, many reporters looked at the young man who asked the question in shock. This is a stunned young man who came out of which media. Isn't he afraid of being kicked out for asking such a question?
Ning Tong said with an unchanged expression, "Are you out of your mind, or did you get up in the morning and put it on a tree, and you can't understand what I said? Also, I never regret any decision I made, let alone, Participating in "Hot Pot Heroes" has taught me a lot, as well as the director, Brother Kun and Brother Yu guiding me, I am very happy to be able to join this crew, and I have never regretted it!"

After Ning Tong finished speaking, many underground reporters were half shocked by Ning Tong's bluntness, and half happy to record Ning Tong's words and appearance. Many people would like the news of "Ning Tong angrily scolding the little reporter".

At this time, Director Yang took the microphone and said, "In fact, our film is a low-cost film from investment to production, and it is incomparable with "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou, and Ning Tong is right. There is no comparison between the two movies, not to mention the movie I want to direct for newcomers, you have to compare it with Zhang Yimou's big production, such provocative methods are too low-level, so next, I think, Everyone, please stop asking such low-level questions, otherwise, we will ask you to leave the scene, then please continue to ask questions related to our movie, thank you!"
