Golden Boy

After the pre-publicity spread, the word-of-mouth of "All the Way North" began to brew on the Internet.

Li Yunsheng's popularity played a big role.In the past six months, except for Li Yunsheng, no particularly eye-catching male newcomers have come out.Among the popular male idols, two fell in love and lost a lot of popularity.

So Li Yun was born at the right time, and the momentum has been very good recently.

Of course, Li Yunsheng is not the only selling point for promoting and marketing movies.

Director Zhou Ze is a highly anticipated new director, and all the short films he has directed before have been forwarded online.

And Su Pei.He just published his new novel "The Endless Days" last year, broadcast the TV series "Rongcheng Confidential", and even had an affair with Fang Ziling.

But Fang Ziling hasn't been doing well recently, and the publicity company doesn't want to blur the point.They publicized Su Pei's outstanding talent, so they found a few reviews, all of which praised Su Pei very much, including Ji Chenran's book review.

In Ji Chenran's book review, he praised Su Pei like heaven and earth, clearly saying that he is the most underestimated writer today, and a leader among his peers.

This publicity is to tell the audience that "All the Way North" is a sincere work of a group of very reliable people, and can be an excellent representative of domestic films.

The publicity, coupled with early word-of-mouth, worked.

The number of people who want to watch "All the Way North" on Ticket A is increasing every day, especially the pre-sale trend is not worse than the summer blockbuster.This is rare among small-budget domestic films, and the industry has raised its box office forecast for "Towards the North".

Many movie fans are looking forward to this movie, and of course some people are gnashing their teeth at the good momentum of "Northward".

Zhang Meng is one of them.He invested in the screenwriting, and "Seven Stars Falling" starring Qiu Ruoyang was released three weeks later than "North".Although they were not sparring at the same time, but the time is very close, so it is inevitable that they will be mentioned together.

Zhang Meng has full confidence in "Seven Stars Fall".He thought that as soon as "Seven Stars Fall" was released, it would definitely beat "Xiang Bei" in half at the box office.Because "Xiang Bei" is a newcomer starring, the cost is not high, while "Seven Stars Fall" has the original base, big scenes and big production, and is a standard commercial blockbuster.Box office crushing is definitely no problem.

What Zhang Meng was upset about was that after Su Pei had been silent all these years, he was blown up again.

What he wanted was that "Seven Stars Fall" should not only crush the box office, but also surpass Su Pei in word-of-mouth as a screenwriter. That is the real beauty.

Now that "Xiang Bei" has not been released yet, Su Pei's momentum has risen again.

This made Zhang Meng very unhappy.

Within two days, Su Pei and Zhang Meng met at a screenwriter pen meeting.

Su Pei hadn't been to this pen fair before, but he had quite a few works from last year to this year, and the movie "Xiang Bei" was about to be released, and the industry warmly invited him. He thought he should come, and he could also add material for the new novel.

It's just a small accident to meet Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng smirked enthusiastically and chatted with Su Pei for a while.

"Where did you get Li Yunsheng? What a talent."

Su Pei said, "Thanks to Zhou Ze, he interviewed almost a hundred actors before deciding on Li Yunsheng. Li Yunsheng should have talked about the audition on TV many times."

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, it's a man who can be made. I also thought that there was a fake role of the male lead in the second part of "Seven Stars Falling". I originally wanted Qiu Ruoyang to play two roles. Now look at Li Yunsheng acting very well!"

What he said clearly said that Li Yunsheng was Qiu Ruoyang's fake.

Su Pei only said, "So, is there going to be a second part of "Seven Stars Falling"?"

The smile on Zhang Meng's face couldn't hold back anymore. He patted Su Pei's arm and said, "This is a big production! Of course there will be a second one!"

Su Pei smiled and didn't speak.

Some people may simply not get along and be friends.He didn't take Zhang Meng's provocation to heart.

But after Zhang Meng went back, he looked at the photos at the pen fair, and every one of them showed that Su Pei was more handsome than him.The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.After thinking about it, he contacted the marketing company he often worked with.

The week before the release of "We Are All the Way North" is the busiest time for promotional activities.

Li Yunsheng and director Zhou Ze began to run promotions from city to city.As a screenwriter, Su Pei doesn't need to attend these events, he just sends some messages in Moments.

But on this day, a lot of "black material" about Li Yunsheng and Su Pei suddenly appeared on the Internet.

Li Yunsheng has only debuted not long ago, and he can't find any "black material", but the Internet has a nose and eyes, and some "television staff" personally broke the news, saying that Li Yunsheng's attitude is arrogant, and he played big names when he first became popular.

"The eyes are very fierce. The attitude is not good! I saw with my own eyes once that when he asked for half sugar milk tea, his assistant might be too busy to get the full sugar. He took a sip and threw it on the assistant. Super unqualified. "

"I heard that he came out to be a gangster after graduating from high school? He really is a gangster."

"His family was supposed to be quite poor, so he got carried away with some money."

The "black material" about Su Pei is more specific. After all, the Internet has memory, and everything can be searched.

"Writing a bad drama. I'm not responsible. "Rongcheng Confidential" was written badly by this screenwriter."

"I remember the reversal. Fang Ziling should be responsible for the unfinished ending of "Rongcheng Confidential", right? She insisted on changing the screenwriter temporarily, but the two screenwriters didn't match up."

"The reversal of the reversal! It's because the screenwriter was rushing to write "[-] New Career" so he left the group early. In the end, he didn't explain the follow-up and blamed Fang Ziling."

"He had an affair with Fang Ziling, right? He was in a hurry to deny it. Fang Ziling didn't deny it, so why did he deny it. Fang Ziling suffered from the rumor that he had an affair with Fang Ziling."

Not counting the gossip about "Rongcheng Confidential" and Fang Ziling, the most outrageous of these "black stories" is that Su Pei bought a navy to brag about himself.

"The book reviews posted by the marketing account before were actually bought with his own money."

"That's right, I heard that it's all for the promotion of "Xiang Bei", so I tried my best to blow him up. In fact, all the book reviews are bought, hahahahahaha 500 yuan a piece, it's ridiculous."

Su Pei suffered from insomnia the night before and found it difficult to fall asleep. He took some sleep aid medicine and slept until almost nine o'clock.When I woke up, I was still a little dazed, and only heard the sound of my phone vibrating.

He turned on his phone and gradually regained consciousness. It turned out that so many things happened last night.

Li Yunsheng left him a message.

"Mr. Su, leave the movie promotion to me. You don't have to worry about anything. Our movie will be a success!"

The publicity company also left him a message, telling him not to worry, let alone respond to netizens with aggressive words.

Su Pei threw the phone away, so he wouldn't quarrel with the air.

If someone confronted him face to face, he would still be interested in arguing.

He Yiming saw the "black material" on the Internet earlier than Su Pei.He immediately contacted his publicist and asked them to deal with it.He wants to suppress the heat of these "black materials" within half a day.

He Yiming is very skilled in doing this, and he doesn't need to tell Su Pei.

If it was before, he would call Su Pei and tell Su Pei not to worry, or tell Su Pei that he will handle it.Now he doesn't want to say anything to Su Pei.

His previous practice was superfluous.If he never hoped that Su Pei would be with him, why would he act in front of Su Pei?To show he's capable?Su Pei always knew that he was capable.I hope Su Pei is grateful to him?You don't have to.

He only left a message for Su Pei, "Shall we have dinner together tonight? We haven't eaten for a while, I invite you. Bring your new novel."

Su Pei replied to him, "The novel still needs to be revised, and it is temporarily shameful. Would you like to treat me to dinner?"

He Yiming replied in seconds, "As long as you come, I can treat you to Fujianese."

After making an appointment with Su Pei for dinner, He Yiming's mood improved a lot.

In the afternoon, He Yiming was thinking that he could get off work early today, when his cell phone suddenly rang.He Yiming turned on his mobile phone and saw the new progress of Su Pei's "black material" incident today.

At a glance, he saw that Su Pei's popularity had come up again, and the key word was "book review".

He Yiming immediately called Yu Qingquan.

"What's going on? Aren't you so easy to settle such a small matter, and you can suppress it in half a day?"

Yu Qingquan said with a smile, "Mr. He, there are always accidents in this business. But this time it is a good accident. The heat has come up again, but the wind direction has reversed. Take a closer look."

He Yiming clicked into the details.

I saw that the top Weibo had nearly [-] retweets.

It was Ji Chenran who posted on Weibo, and he was the one who wrote the perfect book review for Su Pei.

"Some people say that I charged 500 yuan to write this book review. Is the price too outrageous? I hereby declare that I sincerely appreciate Teacher Su Pei, and every word of my review comes from the heart. Some people even post it upside down. I don’t even bother to write a single word for 50.”

As soon as this Weibo was posted, the melon-eating crowd was in an uproar again.

It was Ji Chenran's student who turned wildly at the beginning—"My God, I want to buy Professor Ji's book reviews for 500 yuan, does Heizi have any common sense?"

Ji Chenran is currently doing academic exchanges in Edinburgh, and his family is well-off, so it is absolutely impossible for him to write a book review for money.Heizi didn't do his homework well, and made a mess of black and white, which finally caused a backlash from the public opinion.

He Yiming didn't need to worry about the direction of the matter.

During dinner at night, He Yiming took Su Pei to a private club.He Yiming is the owner and shareholder of this clubhouse. It only accepts regular guests, and the environment is very elegant.

He Yiming and Su Pei sat down in a box.One side of the box has a glass wall, facing the garden pool on the tall building, where the water lilies are just blooming, and in the distance is the moonlight and night above the neon lights.

Su Pei just sat down and looked at the scenery outside the window in this environment, and felt extremely comfortable.

There is no fixed menu here, all dishes are made with the freshest ingredients of the day.

Su Pei suddenly thought of the internet celebrity restaurants and bars that Li Yunsheng had invited him to.He didn't know why he thought of this, but he still couldn't help laughing when he thought of it.

Comparing Li Yunsheng and He Yiming, he was still too immature.

"What's wrong? Is it not good here?" He Yiming asked, wiping his hands.

Su Pei said, "Of course not. It's very good here. So good that I think we should talk about some serious things."

He Yiming smiled and said, "How do you know I have nothing serious to talk to you about?"

Su Pei emphasized again, "I really didn't bring the novel today—I'll show it to you when it's almost finished."

When He Yiming heard him mention the novel, he asked, "Did you see the book review written by Ji Chenran?"

Su Pei said, "I sent an email to Professor Ji, and I am very grateful for his voice."

He Yiming nodded, "That's good."

He didn't mention his use of public relations to suppress the heat.

He originally thought that Ji Chenran wrote Su Pei's book review very well.It's just that Ji Chenran expressed his appreciation for Su Pei so frankly on the Internet today, and he felt a little uncomfortable.But he has no reason to stop Su Pei from contacting Ji Chenran.

As soon as they fell silent, Su Pei felt a little uncomfortable - the environment was too quiet, with only the sound of gurgling water, under this kind of quiet and ambiguous light, once there was silence, there would be a gap for ambiguity to breed.

He could only chat with He Yiming all the time.Fortunately, he and He Yiming didn't need to find topics for chatting, and the two of them could chat for two hours without standing cold.

After the dishes were served, He Yiming raised his wine glass and said, "Su Pei, I want to celebrate with you in advance."

Su Pei was a little confused, "What are you celebrating?"

Today is not any special day.There are still two weeks before He Yiming's birthday.

He Yiming looked at him and said, "Your success."

Su Pei laughed, as if He Yiming was doing something funny with a serious face.

"Are you so confident in the movie "Towards the North"?" Su Pei asked.

He Yiming said, "It's not only because of the movie "Xiang Bei" - this movie will be successful. But more importantly, the critics, readers' feedback on your novel, don't you feel it? came back."

Su Pei didn't want to say spoiling things at this moment.They are all in good spirits tonight, with the sights and the delicacies.He could tell that He Yiming was really happy for him.

It's just that he has been frustrated for so long that he no longer remembers the face of success.What counts as success?He has actually experienced these praises, praise from readers, and overwhelming support from public opinion more than ten years ago, but like a beautiful big bubble, it will be broken as soon as it is said.

I don't know if he has regained his success now, but at least his financial pressure is much lighter.

If the film is successful, he also has a handsome bonus.

This is already good.

Su Pei looked at He Yiming very tenderly, and he said, "Yiming, thank you."

He Yiming said, "You don't need to thank me."

Su Pei said, "Today, the popularity on the Internet was removed, did you help me?"

He Yiming glanced at him without denying it.It turns out that there are some things that he doesn't need to say, Su Pei can already guess.

Sometimes he really wished that he had no other superfluous feelings for Su Pei.In this way, they will be a perfect pair of friends, and he can proudly say that he and Su Pei are in perfect harmony.

He said, "It's nothing. "North" is my first movie after I bought Mimi, and I'm ready to hold a celebration party for the movie."
