Beautiful Life Company.
Chen Kaige was preparing some materials for the release of “Cat Demon Legend”, when his secretary suddenly came to him in a panic and reported to him:
“Director Chen, it’s bad, all the publicity we released today was suppressed.”
“Suppressed?” Chen Kaige frowned and asked, “Why, did Weibo suppress our popularity?”
“No, it was crushed by the popularity of “The Wandering Earth.”
The secretary immediately handed the data he had just collected to Chen Kaige.
He took it and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned bad.
The first hot search on major platforms is “The Wandering Earth”, while his “Cat Demon Legend” is only around the top ten, and the popularity is not comparable at all.
“What did Cao An do, why is it so popular?”
Chen Kaige was very confused, what happened?
No matter how big the difference in popularity between the two new movies should not be so big.
“Fanxing didn’t do anything, just released a movie theme song MV.”
“Show it to me.”
After watching the MV of “Wandering with the Earth”, Chen Kaige was speechless.
The quality of this video was so impressive that even he was impressed.
No one in China has ever made a futuristic sci-fi disaster movie.
Cao An took the first step directly, giving people a huge sense of freshness and shock.
From this video, it can be seen that the completion is very high.
Before this video, Cao An had been hiding it very well. People in the market only knew what type of movie “The Wandering Earth” was, but they didn’t know the actual content.
So when Fanxing released this video, the shock it brought can be imagined.
At this time, Chen Kaige suddenly felt a little scared and worried, afraid that “Cat Demon Legend” would be crushed by “The Wandering Earth” after its release.
He remembered what Feng Xiaogang said to him some time ago, “Cao An is a weird guy. The Wandering Earth may have a lot of potential. If I were you, I would never go head-to-head with him.”
At that time, he had no idea what kind of movie The Wandering Earth was, so he thought Feng Xiaogang was talking nonsense.
How could a director who won the Palme d’Or at Cannes be afraid of a new director in his early twenties?
But now after watching the promotional MV of The Wandering Earth, he admitted that he underestimated Cao An at that time.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. All kinds of publicity have been thrown out.
It is absolutely impossible to change the release date, otherwise it means that he is afraid.
Although this video gave him a great shock, as a veteran director, he is still very confident in his movie.
Especially this one, he invested 100% of his energy and finally completed the Tang Dynasty that he had always wanted to shoot.
He took a deep breath and said, “Contact all major platforms immediately. The hot search ranking of “Cat Demon Legend” cannot be too much lower than “The Wandering Earth.”
“Okay, I’ll contact them right away.”
He didn’t dare to buy hot searches directly to surpass “The Wandering Earth”, otherwise it would be too obvious and he would definitely be questioned whether it was bought, which would ruin his popularity.
Whether a movie has a high box office must be determined by its popularity.
All he needs to do is to maintain in the minds of the audience that “Cat Demon Legend” is as worth looking forward to as “The Wandering Earth”.
When it is released, he is confident that he will get good reviews from the audience, and then he can naturally start the next step of marketing.
…
Outside, “The Wandering Earth” has set off a huge wave, but the stars where Cao An is are calm.
Some promotional posters, interview videos, interesting things during the filming, etc. are released step by step to maintain the audience’s interest in “The Wandering Earth”.
And Cao An himself started his new round of lottery.
Now all the film and television dramas he has on hand have begun production, and he has no stock in hand, so he should replenish some.
Warner Bros. has finished recruiting actors for Squid Game and has officially started filming.
The East Palace has also started filming.
Warner Bros. and Fanxing have also started preparatory work for Transformers.
This time, Cao An only has points for Charlotte’s Troubles and The Journey of Flower, and neither of these two is directed by Cao An, so the points are not many, and he can only draw one movie or two TV series.
Finally, after thinking about it, Cao An chose to draw two TV series.
The next movie he will shoot is Transformers, and he will have points for The Wandering Earth later, so he can shoot whatever he wants.
So he doesn’t need it for the time being, so he will draw it out for the company’s people.
[Drawing…]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining all the shooting knowledge of the TV series Armor Hero. ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining all the shooting knowledge of the TV series Si Teng. ]
Seeing these two results, Cao An smiled knowingly.
Now I can finally give Brother Chen a reply.
Since cooperating with Cao An to produce toys related to “Ultraman Tiga”, Guangcai Toy Factory has grown into a local leader.
So Chen Guanglin often calls Cao An to chat, asking Cao An when he will make another children’s film similar to Tiga.
He also said that if Cao An has no money, their Guangcai Toy Factory is willing to invest.
Every time Cao An can only politely refuse. The Chen family father and son are very good to Cao An, and both parties are very satisfied with the cooperation over the years.
Cao An also went to their place to play for a few days, and Chen Guanglin always accompanied him, and Cao An didn’t spend a penny.
Now I can finally give them an answer.
As for “Si Teng”, this is a low-cost TV series with a big female lead. When it was broadcast, it directly surpassed a number of big-investment TV series.
It also made Jing Tian, who could never be popular, popular.
Speaking of shooting beautiful women, Cao An is a professional, but he probably doesn’t have time to shoot this TV series.
So Cao An decided to find a director who knows how to shoot beautiful women like himself to be the director of “Si Teng”.
It was still a little hot at the end of September.
Cao An has been hiding in the villa these days to write scripts.
He had just finished writing the script of “Armor Hero”. Liu Yifei came to the study barefoot in a cool suspender skirt and brought Cao An a bowl of fruit soup.
She put it in front of Cao An and sat aside and said, “Take a break!”
“It’s delicious! Did you make it?”
Cao An was taking a break and asked while eating.
“Well, these are peeled by hand one by one, absolutely clean.”
Then Liu Yifei asked Cao An: “Brother An, I have graduated for several months. Is there anything I can do?”
Because she was busy with graduation before, the company did not arrange any work for her during this period.
Now that she has graduated and rested for a while, she is almost lying down and wants to find something to do.
“You know what? I just happen to have a special effects film here. Do you want to play the female lead?”
“Okay!”
Liu Yifei didn’t think much about it and agreed directly. She was confident in Cao An’s script.
“Let’s go. I’ll arrange this matter at the company.”
Cao An pulled out the USB drive and said to Liu Yifei.
“Wait a minute, I’ll go change my clothes.”
Liu Yifei looked down at her skirt and said hurriedly.
If the light is a little stronger, it will leak out. It doesn’t matter at home, but she has to change when she goes out.
Just as she was about to change her clothes, she turned around and kissed Cao An on the face, “Thank you, brother.”
“This little girl!”
Cao An smiled slightly.
…
On October 1, “The Wandering Earth” was officially released.
This time, Cao An did not hold a premiere, saying that the surprise would be left for all the audience who walked into the cinema.
Early in the morning, a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses, with short, slightly sparse hair and wearing an ordinary gray polo shirt walked into the theater of “The Wandering Earth” with a movie ticket.
