A different director [entertainment circle]
Work related
When I have time, I just want to see how the "Weekend Party" works.
The author has something to say: being able to make him, a boss, laugh so happily is enough to show how excellent Qin Yan's planning is.
The head of the station said kindly, "Director Qin, are you interested in coming to us as a special director for a period of time? It can be considered as a qualification."
Qin Yan didn't have any qualms, and shook his head directly: "Forget it, I'm a film director, and this time I came up with some bad ideas to promote the film, so I can't get it on the table."
After being rejected by Qin Yan, the director did not continue to invite.He just invited him casually, which can be regarded as an expression of gratitude to Qin Yan.
A director who has already achieved good results at the box office, and it seems that "Laughing Jianghu" can create a miracle at the box office, how can he come to his local TV station as a director.
However, he still took the opportunity to communicate with Qin Yan about variety shows.
Qin Yan reserved a lot of opinions, because some ideas were too advanced, and they didn't adapt to this era.
Insufficient number of viewers, different preferences, underdeveloped Internet... These are the limitations of the times.
Even so, the director still appreciates Qin Yan's opinion. He said gratefully: "Director Qin, don't worry! Our TV station will definitely support the promotion of "Laughing Jianghu" this time."
Qin Yan smiled and said, "That's troublesome."
Going on variety shows and doing publicity is also a helpless choice.
In fact, before coming to "Weekend Party" this time, Qin Yan was also entangled.As a director of literary films, Qin Yan used to dislike variety shows.
He always felt that variety shows would take away the hearts of the actors, making them indulge in the cheers of the audience and ignore their acting skills.
But the fact is that if there is a lack of exposure and attention, movies, TV dramas, and actors will also be unable to make a single step.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he brought Xie Beiyang and the others to "Weekend Party".
Qin Yan doubted whether his choice this time was correct more than once.
Let Xie Beiyang and the others become the stars sought after by the audience so quickly, it is like opening Pandora's box, which is both hope and disaster.
He looked at Xie Beiyang, Xi Qianqian and Qin Yan who were attracting the audience's attention on the stage and sighed in his heart: I hope they don't let him down.
----------
That's it, I'm going to bed.I was about to die suddenly.
054 Dilemma
October 2003, the first Saturday after the National Day.
Tonight, many families couldn't wait to turn on the TV, and then locked on Fruit TV, even the commercials were tolerated.They have been looking forward to it for a whole week because of tonight's "Weekend Party".
Qin Yan took Xie Beiyang's "Weekend Party" "Laughing Rivers and Lakes Special Edition", which was recorded by Xie Beiyang and the others. Because the content was too rich, Fruit TV temporarily decided to divide it into two episodes.
This is also a way for Fruit TV to show its favor to Qin Yan. It will be played for two consecutive weeks, which can make the popularity of "Laughing Jianghu" more fermented.
Of course, Fruit TV itself is definitely not at a disadvantage.
Last week, the ratings of "Weekend Party" directly broke the third, which is the best result of this year, and the ratings still rose suddenly in the second half of the show. It is obvious that its own word-of-mouth has fermented and attracted many passers-by viewers, not "Weekend Party" Or regular viewers and fans of "Laughing Jianghu".
More importantly, this "Weekend Party" is obviously a story of a small shrimp in the rivers and lakes, who gradually becomes a hero of the rivers and lakes, and upgrades to fight the boss.
In the last episode, Xie Beiyang and the others got the magical secrets and gained new abilities. They are preparing to form a group to challenge the happy faction headed by Mr. He and the others.
The confrontation between the guests and the host has always attracted the audience, but it ended abruptly at this moment, and the audience's anger and expectation can be imagined.
In addition, in the trailer of the second issue, there is a man who firmly grasps the curiosity of the audience——Director Qin Yan returns to the stage again.
In the preview, Qin Yan looked at the stage in surprise.During the broadcast of the first episode, several shots of Qin Yan were shown, and the later editing understood the audience too well.
Qin Yan is so eye-catching, even if Qin Yan is just a passerby, he will give him a few more shots, not to mention that Qin Yan is also the director of "Laughing Jianghu".
However, the audience also found that Qin Yan's expression has always been very calm, even if he smiled because of the embarrassment of the actors, the expression management is also in place.No one could imagine what kind of accident could make Qin Yan show such a surprised expression.
Every viewer is scolding why time doesn't go faster, they really want to see what kind of hilarious games will be in the next episode.
But this week they are not without gains.Now young people have started to get in touch with computers and learn to "surf".They saw basic information about Qin Yan, Xie Beiyang, and Xi Qianqian on the Internet.
At the same time, entertainment magazines and newspapers are also constantly reporting on Qin Yan and the situation of "Laughing Jianghu", and even some stills and behind-the-scenes stories flow out.
More and more people pay attention to "Laughing Jianghu", and even began to inquire about the release time of "Laughing Jianghu".
In fact, this is the publicity effect that Qin Yan spent money on behind the scenes, otherwise the effect would not be so good.
Xie Beiyang and the others don't have enough loyal fans now, and no one will take the initiative to pay attention to their works and itinerary.
Qin Yan can only let more people know about the upcoming release of "Laughing Jianghu" through overwhelming publicity. He doesn't need to go to the cinema to support it at the first time, as long as he keeps paying attention to "Laughing Jianghu".
It is not a wrong thing to promote film and publicity works, but in the future, there will be malicious competition within the entire film market, and the methods will have no bottom line, so that bad money will drive out good money in the market.
Of course, Qin Yan doesn't have this distress for the time being, and he will find a way to deal with it in the era when the navy is rampant.
But no matter what, today Xu Tiantian and her mother stood in front of the TV station and waited for the broadcast of "Weekend Party".
To be honest, Xu Tiantian and her mother seldom watch TV together, after all, their hobbies and aesthetics are completely different.
Tiantian's mother usually likes to turn on CCTV at night to watch TV series produced by CCTV, such as "Jade Guanyin", which is very popular this year.There is also "Dae Jang Geum", which is very popular recently, imported from Bangzi Kingdom.
And Xu Tiantian prefers to watch "Pink Girl", "Stairway to Heaven" and other TV series with more handsome men and beautiful women.But there is only one TV in their house, so it is inevitable to fight for the remote control.
Last Saturday, she managed to win the right to watch "Weekend Party". While eating snacks, she admired Xie Beiyang, Yang Zhenhai and others.
In the end, I didn't expect that when I saw halfway through, my mother suddenly sat over, and burst into laughter from time to time just like her.
Just after dinner today, Tiantian's mother took the initiative to ask her: What time does "Weekend Party" start.Then after the sweet father arranged to wash, he began to peel the fruit, waiting for the broadcast of "Weekend Party".
After the opening of "Weekend Party", it really continued the story of the previous issue.
Xie Beiyang, Xi Qianqian and other knight-errants found the legendary magic weapon, but internal strife broke out between the two groups.
Everyone wanted to get this weapon, so the two sides began to compete. In fact, it was a game of "grabbing a chair", but the chair was replaced with a particularly exquisite prop weapon.
At the same time, everyone has a "weakness" in their martial arts skills. If you fail to grab a weapon, you only need to be the first to call out the opponent's weakness and make the martial arts moves designed at the beginning, and you can turn defeat into victory.
Because they were wearing ancient robes all the time, it was very inconvenient to move around.Xie Beiyang and the others often accidentally fell down because of their clothes on stage, showing a particularly embarrassing side.
It was not easy for Yang Zhenhai to grab the weapon for this round. As a result, the hostile Xi Qianqian immediately made a "golden rooster independence", opened his upper arms to maintain balance, and shouted: "Your weakness is 'because you have no sense of balance, you can't stand on one foot independently. '!"
Yang Zhenhai, who was still smiling just now, was instantly turned back, and his expression changed so quickly, it was comparable to "changing faces".
Xu Tiantian and her mother laughed, but it seemed that there was another person laughing.
Sure enough, the father who had just finished washing the dishes quickly restrained his smile, and said without changing his expression:
"Look, I said that these martial arts movies are all deceitful. How can anyone wear this kind of clothes and still be able to walk like flying and fly over walls? They are all deceptive."
Xu Tiantian said unconvinced: "Even if it's a lie, you still had such a good time watching it. Just now you laughed the loudest!"
The father was slapped in the face by his daughter, and he was a little angry at first, but the mother of the head of the family said: "If you don't want to read it, go and wash the clothes, don't talk nonsense here."
Forget it, the only villains and women in the world are difficult to raise.Father said silently in his heart, and at the same time quietly sat on the sofa and joined the audience of "Weekend Party".
The last game is the so-called "guess the undercover agent". It turns out that from the very beginning, each of the two knight teams has an undercover agent from the other side.
Now whoever can guess the identity of the undercover agent will win.
According to the results of previous games, both sides have some clues to remind.
The two teams who were still in love with each other just now, like a family, suddenly turned their faces at this moment, and they began to accuse each other one after another.
"Xie Beiyang, I think you are the spy. You must have wrestled on purpose just now, and you didn't get the martial arts cheats, right? You had so many fighting scenes in "Laughing Jianghu", but you couldn't even grab the chair arrive."
There are all serious actors present, all of whom have used their acting skills all their lives to fully demonstrate their intrigue.
If you didn't watch the enjoyable game session before, you would really mistakenly think that there was a dispute between them.
But the audience who have seen everyone's acting skills now just want to watch the show.
"According to my guess, the spy in your group must be Yang Zhenhai. Wasn't it intentional to sing like that just now?" Mr. He joked beside him.
As a result, all the actors of "Laughing Jianghu" including Xie Beiyang said to Teacher He with a serious face: "Mr. He, you are wrong. Yang Zhenhai has always sung like this."
Yang Zhenhai took out a long sword and pretended to commit suicide. No one cared about him at all. Yang Zhenhai fell to the ground and pretended to be a corpse for a while, then stood up silently.
Seeing Yang Zhenhai's appearance, Xu Tiantian's family burst into laughter just like the audience.
In the end, Xi Qianqian's team won, because during the competition, Xi Qianqian took advantage of being a girl to "oppress" Xie Beiyang, forcing Xie Beiyang to retreat steadily with a look of panic on his face.
However, Xi Qianqian's behavior didn't annoy anyone, because the ghost on her body was so cute.
Until now, Qin Yan hadn't been seen, so Xu Tiantian looked forward to it even more.
Teacher He, the elder of the Happy School, appeared on the stage again:
"Okay, Xi Qianqian led the Jianghu team to win the final victory. On behalf of Happy Pai, I will help you realize a wish of your Jianghu team."
Suddenly, a camera was pointed at Qin Yan, and the surprise was swept across Qin Yan's face.
The audience in front of the TV might not understand why Qin Yan was so surprised, but during the live filming, Qin Yan really showed his emotions subconsciously.
Because in his script for Fruit TV, there is no such link,
It stands to reason that he is the highest-ranking actor in "Laughing Jianghu", and Qin Yan also wrote the script for this show.
If the program group wants to make changes to the game script, they should ask themselves first,
Qin Yan realized at that time that something was wrong.
He tried hard to observe Xi Qianqian, and as expected, he saw a little bit of excitement in Xi Qianqian's expression.
Just when Qin Yan was thinking about what kind of wish Xi Qianqian would make, Xi Qianqian had already opened his mouth without any hesitation, apparently already prepared:
"We want to see Director Qin in ancient costume."
Here Xi Qianqian uses "we" instead of "I".
Just now, after Mr. He proposed to realize the wish of the Jianghu team, Xi Qianqian did not communicate with the people around him at all, but expressed their common wish, which can only prove that the answer was colluded before the show started.
Qin Yan saw through everything in an instant, this group of people had long colluded to punish him.Although I was very angry in my heart, I still had to keep a smile on my face.
At this time, Xu Tiantian in front of the TV was completely excited, she finally saw the previous preview screen, and at the same time, she was looking forward to Qin Yan's appearance in ancient costume.
As a result, Qin Yan on the TV said calmly:
"For ancient costumes, our crew is still very particular. Each set of clothes is customized according to each person's figure. And each set of clothes is actually carefully designed by our stylist. For example, look at the clothes on Xie Beiyang ..."
While Qin Yan tried to change the subject, he did not forget to praise the costume design of his movie, and seized every opportunity to establish the Gundam image of "Laughing Jianghu".
Mr. He is a person who has seen all kinds of speech skills. He stretched out his right finger, shook his head and said at the same time:
"No, no, no, Director Qin has already prepared clothes for you in advance. It was prepared by your crew designer, and it is absolutely consistent with the style of the entire crew of "Laughing Jianghu"."
Qin Yan is still there: "In fact, ancient costumes need to be customized according to each person's figure. I want to leave a better impression on the audience and everyone. Let's talk about it next time."
However, the smile on Teacher He's face has not diminished in the slightest:
"Director Qin, our film crew already knew all kinds of detailed parameters about your figure, so you won't be able to escape this time."
In fact, the TV is far from being able to convey the undercurrent of the filming scene.
When Qin Yan heard these words, his first reaction was to stare at Xie Beiyang.
Because what Teacher He said just now, "We already have all kinds of detailed data on your figure".
This reminded Qin Yan that some time ago Xie Beiyang took the initiative to ask about his body shape data, saying that he wanted to study the issue of clothing customization, and the premiere ceremony of "Laughing Jianghu" was coming soon.
Xie Beiyang didn't have any doubts at the time, so he gave Xie Beiyang his information.Xie Beiyang usually finds professional tailors to order some clothes, so he knows what data he needs.
If it is true that the program team has prepared clothes according to his figure, then the most likely betrayer is Xie Beiyang.
Sure enough, when Mr. He was playing tricks on Qin Yan, Xie Beiyang secretly turned 30 degrees sideways, using his side face to avoid Qin Yan's gaze, completely guilty of guilt.
After a while, Qin Yan still sighed: "Okay. You guys have to let me change clothes first."
After saying this, Qin Yan saw Xie Beiyang's eyes glow with excitement.The same is true for Yang Zhenhai and the others. This is the second time they have succeeded in forcing the palace. The last time they saw their director wearing ancient costumes was half a year ago, and it was only a glimpse.
Qin Yan thought: Forget it, just let these brats do it once, and don't bother with them.
Under the guidance of the field staff, Qin Yan went backstage to change clothes.
After all, it is an ancient costume, and it also involves the issue of wigs and headgear.It took a while, and the show was still being recorded. In order not to let the scene cool down, Xie Beiyang and the others brought another wonderful acting performance, which drew cheers from the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
But at this time, Xu Tiantian didn't have the heart to watch the show anymore, and was waiting for Qin Yan's appearance with all her heart.
Although teachers Xie Beiyang, Yang Zhenhai, and Duan Hong are all handsome, everyone has their own aesthetic preferences.
As for Xu Tiantian, as a little girl, she actually prefers a mature and powerful man like Qin Yan.
Finally, during Teacher He's countdown, Qin Yan came out from behind the scenes.
At this moment, not only Xu Tiantian, but also Xie Beiyang and others on TV were dumbfounded.
The character designed by the costume designer for Qin Yan is the rumored big devil in the Jianghu, and the color of the clothes is simple and mysterious black.
But this kind of black does not represent monotony. The whole robe is made of gilding, dark lines, vulcanization and other techniques, so that the whole black robe has a faint golden light flowing, and it is particularly soft, which looks magnificent. .
God knows how long the stylists of "Laughing Jianghu" have been coveting Qin Yan's beauty.
Before Qin Yan was on the set, he always wore a white shirt and dangled in front of their eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with other costumed actors on the set.
They also admitted that Qin Yan in formal attire is indeed handsome, but they have always had an obsession in their hearts, that is, they must design an ancient costume look for Qin Yan. Professor Qin Yan and Pingying gave them a lot of pointers when designing the look.
Qin Yan is a powerful studio tyrant, how dare they make such a request, they can only design one set of plans in their hearts.
Finally, when the movie was finished, the whole crew "rebelled" together and forced Qin Yan to wear ancient costumes for a while, and even filmed a small easter egg, but Qin Yan's character in the movie didn't show his face at all, and the clothes were very plain. willing!
The stylists were so excited to receive the secret mission arranged by Fruit TV that they suffered from insomnia for several nights in a row.
Finally, I have the opportunity to turn the ideas in my mind into reality.
When they first designed Qin Yan's shape, they designed it completely according to Qin Yan's own characteristics.They were thinking—
If you want to find a role for Qin Yan in the play, it must be Xie Beiyang.
Qin Yan is like a peerless monster, his usual pleasure is to tease the little white Han Yuanbin in the world.
Therefore, when designing clothing, the designers designed many elements that echo each other, such as the pattern on the clothes, the jade on the body, the shape of the shoes, etc., all of which are their careful thoughts.
When Qin Yan walked to the center of the arena, everyone noticed the matching clothes of Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan.
Mr. He is known as an excellent microphone, and his ability to find topics is a must. He also discovered these elements in the first time, so he crazily made fun of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang.
It wasn't until Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang posed a few poses together on the stage that they were let go.
And Xu Tiantian in front of the TV was even more excited. She knew that Qin Yan was handsome, but Qin Yan's handsomeness completely exceeded her expectations.
The black robe allowed Qin Yan to completely get rid of the last bit of youthfulness; the slightly painted eyebrows made Qin Yan's temperament even more stern.
If Qin Yan in the audience could still use a smile to cover up his inner stubbornness and sharpness, then Qin Yan, who had changed into a black ancient costume at this time, fully displayed the aura of a villain, looking down on the world.
At the same time, Xu Tiantian also discovered something very puzzling.
The reason why she likes Qin Yan is not because of Qin Yan's talent, but simply because Qin Yan's appearance fits her aesthetics too well.
She originally thought that after Qin Yan changed into an ancient costume, she would be even more excited and fall in love with Qin Yan completely.In fact, when she saw Qin Yan's ancient costume for the first time, she did have this reaction.
But when Teacher He arranged for Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan to interact in some small games and take pictures together, she found that Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan seemed to be more suitable when they stood together.
This realization made her a little desperate, and at the same time, some difficult emotions and thoughts began to grow quietly.
Just when Xu Tiantian was exploring her true inner thoughts, her mother suddenly asked:
"Just now I seem to have heard that these actors are promoting their movie, what is it called "Laughing Jianghu"? Right?"
Although she was very sad in her heart, it was impossible for Xu Tiantian to ignore her mother's question. She nodded and said, "Yes."
Then Xu's mother said decisively: "When the movie is released, you can take me to watch it together. They even made the last "Weekend Party" so funny, their movie must be good."
Thinking of Xu Tiantian, who still has a movie to look forward to, she put aside the throbbing in her heart for a moment, and she nodded and said, "When the time comes, let's go together."
Dad Xu who was silently watching TV on the side also said quietly: "I want to go too."
Similar scenes also happened in many families in mainland China.
At the same time, the staff of Fruit TV was also busy announcing the good news to each other.Because "Weekend Party" reached the highest ratings since its broadcast, directly breaking 4%.
This is definitely an achievement that can stand out from the crowd in local stations.And this means that the movie "Laughing Jianghu" is the first hit.
As the first launch of the entire publicity plan, the success of "Weekend Party" kicked off the promotional campaign of "Laughing Jianghu" in the whole mainland.
After that, Qin Yan divided the whole team into several groups, and then contacted many different programs and interviews.
Young actors like Xie Beiyang go to variety shows and entertainment newspapers, while actors with works like Duan Hong go to TV shows and news interviews...
Qin Yan did not hesitate to use the influence of each actor to let more and more people know "Laughing Jianghu".
Of course, Qin Yan himself was not idle, he also accepted a lot of interviews, and he was even more famous than Xie Beiyang and the others.
Even with the successful precedent of "Weekend Party", it took Qin Yan a lot of energy to contact various media, and even made Qin Yan owe a lot of favors.
You must know that Qin Yan especially hates being indebted, which will affect his future subjective judgment.
But Qin Yan thinks all of this is worth it, as long as he successfully builds his own brand with Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, and can make the audience believe that the movies he makes will be high-quality products in the future, then this is a huge investment. .
Of course, Qin Yan knew better than anyone else.Now their fame is not due to their own strength, but more because of their appearance, and because of the attention on "Weekend Party".
Qin Yan kept reminding Xie Beiyang and other young actors not to be inflated.Maybe they can't listen to it, that's their own business.
Qin Yan's promotional activities lasted until about mid-November, and the promotion of "Laughing Jianghu" can be seen on various media basically every day.
On the one hand, with Qin Yan's efforts, in fact, on the other hand, it can be regarded as taking advantage of the right time and place.
Due to the special type of pneumonia, the box office market in the mainland has been sluggish so far. In September, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", starring Jiang Wu and Xiao Yanzi, co-produced by Columbia and Huayou, was also released.
Before the release, the investors also expressed their expectation that "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" can gain something in the Oscars, and audiences across the country are full of expectations.
After the results were released, the audience unanimously cursed: What the hell is this.
With an investment of 7400 million, the global box office is only 5000 million, and the loss is about 5000 million!Columbia and Huayou lost their underwear.
However, the caliber of the producer's external publicity is still: "Heaven and Earth Heroes" is good enough, but because of the epidemic, the box office is not good.I hope everyone will go to the cinema to support "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".
In fact, everyone knows how good this movie is, and the market has once again been blamed.
But the major film and television companies are still worried that if the box office is really so low because of the sluggish market, what should they do?
So in the end, only a few films such as "Mobile Phone" and "Infernal Affairs 3" are confirmed to be released at the end of the year, and most of the films continue to adopt a conservative attitude, waiting for the recovery of the film market.
So every movie that is confirmed to be released has become the darling of the media, and these movies are put together for comparison every day.There is always a selection of "A few movies at the end of the year, which one are you most looking forward to?", "Several directors competing on the same stage, who do you support more?"
Qin Yan originally didn't intend to compare with the works of famous directors such as "Mobile Phone" and "Infernal Affairs 3". In the industry, this is called "touching porcelain" - bundling excellent movies to elevate one's own status.
But the public has even put Qin Yan and these film directors together to judge.
Without any media resources in his hands, Qin Yan has no way to control public opinion, so he can only remain silent and refuse all interviews on these issues.
Qin Yan wanted to prove himself with the quality of "Laughing Jianghu", so starting from November, Qin Yan stopped all promotional activities and quietly waited for the final battlefield.
Of course, Qin Yan is not idle either. The new movie that was originally planned to start shooting in the middle of this year has been stranded until now.
Some time ago, the script of the entire movie had been completed, and Qin Yan began to look for his favorite actors again.
In the previous life, many people said that Qin Yan did not miss the old love, and it was almost difficult to see Qin Yan working with an actor for the second time.
But in fact, on the contrary, Qin Yan is actually a director who likes to use old actors, especially actors who have been raped by himself.
Because the acting skills of the actors who have personally passed the test are absolutely passable.And everyone has already cooperated, and they understand more clearly what Qin Yan needs.
It's a pity that Qin Yan has been missing the three major awards. Even in the Chinese film circle, Qin Yan is not the only choice for actors to compete for awards.
After most of the actors have worked with Qin Yan once, there will be no sequels.
Some of them were unable to accept Qin Yan's request for filming.
The shooting cycle of other films is only two to three months. Even if the pre-production and post-stage publicity are added, the full-fledged work cycle is only 6 months.They are more than enough to shoot two works in one year.
But once you join Qin Yan's crew, it often takes half a year to make a movie, let alone other jobs.
Just like the filming of "Laughing Jianghu" this time, Qin Yan required all the actors to do physical training in advance, and arranged nearly two months of publicity work.
When filming literary and artistic films before, there was no popularity and no exposure. Many actors joined Qin Yan's crew when the traffic was high, and were soon abandoned by the market when the film was released.
It's not that Qin Yan hates traffic stars by nature, on the contrary, traffic stars avoid Qin Yan like snakes and scorpions.
Coupled with Qin Yan's faultfinding in movies, the pressure on every actor was too great.
Don't think that every actor has the dream of being an actor and queen, and that he has a lifelong passion for acting career.
Some actors just want to fool around, and after working with Qin Yan, they no longer want to accept that kind of intense filming work.
Even Xi Qianqian and Liu Zhengwen don't want to write scripts again, people are lazy and lazy.
Of course, more actors were because Qin Yan didn't give enough money.
After all, compared with other crews, Qin Yan gave the actors too little money.
For example, Qin Yan recently communicated with Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan in private, asking if they would have time to audition for his next movie. There are several young roles in the movie that are quite suitable for both of them.
The real problem is also very acute, that is, their roles are not even considered as the second male and female second, but can only be regarded as relatively important supporting roles.
Both Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan replied to Qin Yan tactfully.
"I'm sorry, Director Qin. I've been really tired recently, and I want to take a break first." "Director Qin, I have to discuss it with my agency before replying to you."
Qin Yan didn't show any emotional changes during the phone call, he just smiled and said, "Okay."
Qin Yan really didn't have any emotional changes in his heart, because Qin Yan had encountered this kind of thing more than once or twice.
When taking Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan to run variety shows, Qin Yan can be said to be a bowl of water, giving these young actors a lot of room to show off.
Although in terms of popularity, Yang Zhenhai, Yuan Qiushan and several young actors are still not as good as Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian.
But it can be regarded as a familiarity among young people, and many brokerage companies or directors have taken a fancy to their potential.
Qin Yan didn't know if Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan had signed a contract with a new crew, and he didn't know if they really found a brokerage company.
But what is certain is that they have received new invitations, and they must be treated better than themselves.
Don't watch Qin Yan's movies, the investment is not bad in China, but most of his money is spent on filming and ordinary crew members.
Qin Yan himself admitted that he was stingy about the actor's salary.
But he won't have any grievances, because most of the actors get more from him than that little contract remuneration.
Movies, to put it bluntly, are still a business.It is personal freedom to cooperate with whomever you want, and Qin Yanzhen has no intention of forcing them.
But for the next two numbers, Qin Yan hesitated a little.
Qin Yan even picked up the phone, typing in the phone was very slow, but finally put it down again.
This is about Qin Yan's previous experience.
Qin Yan prefers to use young people. As a great director, he has also trained many young actors.
In the movie called "Autumn Killing", he used two amateurs who had never acted before, especially the leading actor, and directly won the best actor in the three domestic awards.
After the leading actor won the Best Actor, he became very popular all of a sudden, and his worth took off like a rocket.
When Qin Yan signed him, the salary he gave was 50 yuan.
This is already quite a generous price for amateurs who have no works.It's just that it's nothing compared to the cost of 5000 million.
But after winning the award, the leading actor seemed to have a little swell.
The movie that invited him started with a contract of several million, while the TV series was even more exaggerated, directly giving an 8-figure salary.
Qin Yan knows that this world is bustling with people, and rituals come and go.It is understandable that the leading actor has a new take out.
It's just that Qin Yan's new movie at that time needed a young actor to play a supporting role, and he had a good chance of hitting the three major international awards.
The male protagonist of "Autumn Killing" is indeed very aura, and his appearance also meets the characteristics of the character.
As a result, Qin Yan made a phone call, and the actor on the other end of the phone communicated with Qin Yan arrogantly, without any respect in his words, let alone the kindness of knowing him.
When Qin Yan invited him to play a supporting role, the male actor directly stated that he would not be able to act as a supporting role, and the price must be equal to the market.
Qin Yan's family is indeed rich, but the money is not for fools.
Immediately, Qin Yan put out this thought, and did not want to have any contact with the other party in the future.But to save face, what Qin Yan said at the time was: "I'll think about it again."
Within two days, all kinds of news broke out on the Internet: the male actor once again cooperated with the famous director Qin Yan, and the salary was as high as eight figures.
No one in the whole circle knew Qin Yan's temper.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the male movie star using Qin Yan to market his status - even Qin Yan gave me a special salary, you all know my status.
Qin Yan didn't want to affect the casting of his next movie, so he immediately issued an announcement, saying that the casting of his movie hadn't started yet.
However, never underestimate the extent to which a person will swell after suddenly gaining huge fame and fortune.
After being slapped in the face by Qin Yan in public, the new film star couldn't swallow his breath.
So I asked someone to send a draft saying that I was treated unfairly by Qin Yan back then.He filmed "Autumn Killing" with an investment of 5000 million yuan, and only paid 50 yuan for the film. Qin Yan was described between the lines as a greedy miser.
This incident really disgusted Qin Yan.
Of course, Qin Yan would not let the other party go, although he is only a director of literary films.But there are quite a few people in this circle who have received his favor, and Qin Yan's family is rich and powerful.
Therefore, this film king only had one work in "Autumn Kill" in his whole life, and he disappeared from the film industry after that.
Although the newly promoted actor is an isolated case, more actors are inadvertently alienated from Qin Yan.
There is no way to film with Qin Yan, and the income is only hundreds of thousands in a year and a half.But after being gilded at Qin Yan's place, and making money in another place, there will always be an 8-figure income in a year.
Who wants to have trouble with money?
Later, there was this strange saying in the film industry: want to win awards, want to improve acting skills, want to improve stature
The author has something to say: being able to make him, a boss, laugh so happily is enough to show how excellent Qin Yan's planning is.
The head of the station said kindly, "Director Qin, are you interested in coming to us as a special director for a period of time? It can be considered as a qualification."
Qin Yan didn't have any qualms, and shook his head directly: "Forget it, I'm a film director, and this time I came up with some bad ideas to promote the film, so I can't get it on the table."
After being rejected by Qin Yan, the director did not continue to invite.He just invited him casually, which can be regarded as an expression of gratitude to Qin Yan.
A director who has already achieved good results at the box office, and it seems that "Laughing Jianghu" can create a miracle at the box office, how can he come to his local TV station as a director.
However, he still took the opportunity to communicate with Qin Yan about variety shows.
Qin Yan reserved a lot of opinions, because some ideas were too advanced, and they didn't adapt to this era.
Insufficient number of viewers, different preferences, underdeveloped Internet... These are the limitations of the times.
Even so, the director still appreciates Qin Yan's opinion. He said gratefully: "Director Qin, don't worry! Our TV station will definitely support the promotion of "Laughing Jianghu" this time."
Qin Yan smiled and said, "That's troublesome."
Going on variety shows and doing publicity is also a helpless choice.
In fact, before coming to "Weekend Party" this time, Qin Yan was also entangled.As a director of literary films, Qin Yan used to dislike variety shows.
He always felt that variety shows would take away the hearts of the actors, making them indulge in the cheers of the audience and ignore their acting skills.
But the fact is that if there is a lack of exposure and attention, movies, TV dramas, and actors will also be unable to make a single step.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he brought Xie Beiyang and the others to "Weekend Party".
Qin Yan doubted whether his choice this time was correct more than once.
Let Xie Beiyang and the others become the stars sought after by the audience so quickly, it is like opening Pandora's box, which is both hope and disaster.
He looked at Xie Beiyang, Xi Qianqian and Qin Yan who were attracting the audience's attention on the stage and sighed in his heart: I hope they don't let him down.
----------
That's it, I'm going to bed.I was about to die suddenly.
054 Dilemma
October 2003, the first Saturday after the National Day.
Tonight, many families couldn't wait to turn on the TV, and then locked on Fruit TV, even the commercials were tolerated.They have been looking forward to it for a whole week because of tonight's "Weekend Party".
Qin Yan took Xie Beiyang's "Weekend Party" "Laughing Rivers and Lakes Special Edition", which was recorded by Xie Beiyang and the others. Because the content was too rich, Fruit TV temporarily decided to divide it into two episodes.
This is also a way for Fruit TV to show its favor to Qin Yan. It will be played for two consecutive weeks, which can make the popularity of "Laughing Jianghu" more fermented.
Of course, Fruit TV itself is definitely not at a disadvantage.
Last week, the ratings of "Weekend Party" directly broke the third, which is the best result of this year, and the ratings still rose suddenly in the second half of the show. It is obvious that its own word-of-mouth has fermented and attracted many passers-by viewers, not "Weekend Party" Or regular viewers and fans of "Laughing Jianghu".
More importantly, this "Weekend Party" is obviously a story of a small shrimp in the rivers and lakes, who gradually becomes a hero of the rivers and lakes, and upgrades to fight the boss.
In the last episode, Xie Beiyang and the others got the magical secrets and gained new abilities. They are preparing to form a group to challenge the happy faction headed by Mr. He and the others.
The confrontation between the guests and the host has always attracted the audience, but it ended abruptly at this moment, and the audience's anger and expectation can be imagined.
In addition, in the trailer of the second issue, there is a man who firmly grasps the curiosity of the audience——Director Qin Yan returns to the stage again.
In the preview, Qin Yan looked at the stage in surprise.During the broadcast of the first episode, several shots of Qin Yan were shown, and the later editing understood the audience too well.
Qin Yan is so eye-catching, even if Qin Yan is just a passerby, he will give him a few more shots, not to mention that Qin Yan is also the director of "Laughing Jianghu".
However, the audience also found that Qin Yan's expression has always been very calm, even if he smiled because of the embarrassment of the actors, the expression management is also in place.No one could imagine what kind of accident could make Qin Yan show such a surprised expression.
Every viewer is scolding why time doesn't go faster, they really want to see what kind of hilarious games will be in the next episode.
But this week they are not without gains.Now young people have started to get in touch with computers and learn to "surf".They saw basic information about Qin Yan, Xie Beiyang, and Xi Qianqian on the Internet.
At the same time, entertainment magazines and newspapers are also constantly reporting on Qin Yan and the situation of "Laughing Jianghu", and even some stills and behind-the-scenes stories flow out.
More and more people pay attention to "Laughing Jianghu", and even began to inquire about the release time of "Laughing Jianghu".
In fact, this is the publicity effect that Qin Yan spent money on behind the scenes, otherwise the effect would not be so good.
Xie Beiyang and the others don't have enough loyal fans now, and no one will take the initiative to pay attention to their works and itinerary.
Qin Yan can only let more people know about the upcoming release of "Laughing Jianghu" through overwhelming publicity. He doesn't need to go to the cinema to support it at the first time, as long as he keeps paying attention to "Laughing Jianghu".
It is not a wrong thing to promote film and publicity works, but in the future, there will be malicious competition within the entire film market, and the methods will have no bottom line, so that bad money will drive out good money in the market.
Of course, Qin Yan doesn't have this distress for the time being, and he will find a way to deal with it in the era when the navy is rampant.
But no matter what, today Xu Tiantian and her mother stood in front of the TV station and waited for the broadcast of "Weekend Party".
To be honest, Xu Tiantian and her mother seldom watch TV together, after all, their hobbies and aesthetics are completely different.
Tiantian's mother usually likes to turn on CCTV at night to watch TV series produced by CCTV, such as "Jade Guanyin", which is very popular this year.There is also "Dae Jang Geum", which is very popular recently, imported from Bangzi Kingdom.
And Xu Tiantian prefers to watch "Pink Girl", "Stairway to Heaven" and other TV series with more handsome men and beautiful women.But there is only one TV in their house, so it is inevitable to fight for the remote control.
Last Saturday, she managed to win the right to watch "Weekend Party". While eating snacks, she admired Xie Beiyang, Yang Zhenhai and others.
In the end, I didn't expect that when I saw halfway through, my mother suddenly sat over, and burst into laughter from time to time just like her.
Just after dinner today, Tiantian's mother took the initiative to ask her: What time does "Weekend Party" start.Then after the sweet father arranged to wash, he began to peel the fruit, waiting for the broadcast of "Weekend Party".
After the opening of "Weekend Party", it really continued the story of the previous issue.
Xie Beiyang, Xi Qianqian and other knight-errants found the legendary magic weapon, but internal strife broke out between the two groups.
Everyone wanted to get this weapon, so the two sides began to compete. In fact, it was a game of "grabbing a chair", but the chair was replaced with a particularly exquisite prop weapon.
At the same time, everyone has a "weakness" in their martial arts skills. If you fail to grab a weapon, you only need to be the first to call out the opponent's weakness and make the martial arts moves designed at the beginning, and you can turn defeat into victory.
Because they were wearing ancient robes all the time, it was very inconvenient to move around.Xie Beiyang and the others often accidentally fell down because of their clothes on stage, showing a particularly embarrassing side.
It was not easy for Yang Zhenhai to grab the weapon for this round. As a result, the hostile Xi Qianqian immediately made a "golden rooster independence", opened his upper arms to maintain balance, and shouted: "Your weakness is 'because you have no sense of balance, you can't stand on one foot independently. '!"
Yang Zhenhai, who was still smiling just now, was instantly turned back, and his expression changed so quickly, it was comparable to "changing faces".
Xu Tiantian and her mother laughed, but it seemed that there was another person laughing.
Sure enough, the father who had just finished washing the dishes quickly restrained his smile, and said without changing his expression:
"Look, I said that these martial arts movies are all deceitful. How can anyone wear this kind of clothes and still be able to walk like flying and fly over walls? They are all deceptive."
Xu Tiantian said unconvinced: "Even if it's a lie, you still had such a good time watching it. Just now you laughed the loudest!"
The father was slapped in the face by his daughter, and he was a little angry at first, but the mother of the head of the family said: "If you don't want to read it, go and wash the clothes, don't talk nonsense here."
Forget it, the only villains and women in the world are difficult to raise.Father said silently in his heart, and at the same time quietly sat on the sofa and joined the audience of "Weekend Party".
The last game is the so-called "guess the undercover agent". It turns out that from the very beginning, each of the two knight teams has an undercover agent from the other side.
Now whoever can guess the identity of the undercover agent will win.
According to the results of previous games, both sides have some clues to remind.
The two teams who were still in love with each other just now, like a family, suddenly turned their faces at this moment, and they began to accuse each other one after another.
"Xie Beiyang, I think you are the spy. You must have wrestled on purpose just now, and you didn't get the martial arts cheats, right? You had so many fighting scenes in "Laughing Jianghu", but you couldn't even grab the chair arrive."
There are all serious actors present, all of whom have used their acting skills all their lives to fully demonstrate their intrigue.
If you didn't watch the enjoyable game session before, you would really mistakenly think that there was a dispute between them.
But the audience who have seen everyone's acting skills now just want to watch the show.
"According to my guess, the spy in your group must be Yang Zhenhai. Wasn't it intentional to sing like that just now?" Mr. He joked beside him.
As a result, all the actors of "Laughing Jianghu" including Xie Beiyang said to Teacher He with a serious face: "Mr. He, you are wrong. Yang Zhenhai has always sung like this."
Yang Zhenhai took out a long sword and pretended to commit suicide. No one cared about him at all. Yang Zhenhai fell to the ground and pretended to be a corpse for a while, then stood up silently.
Seeing Yang Zhenhai's appearance, Xu Tiantian's family burst into laughter just like the audience.
In the end, Xi Qianqian's team won, because during the competition, Xi Qianqian took advantage of being a girl to "oppress" Xie Beiyang, forcing Xie Beiyang to retreat steadily with a look of panic on his face.
However, Xi Qianqian's behavior didn't annoy anyone, because the ghost on her body was so cute.
Until now, Qin Yan hadn't been seen, so Xu Tiantian looked forward to it even more.
Teacher He, the elder of the Happy School, appeared on the stage again:
"Okay, Xi Qianqian led the Jianghu team to win the final victory. On behalf of Happy Pai, I will help you realize a wish of your Jianghu team."
Suddenly, a camera was pointed at Qin Yan, and the surprise was swept across Qin Yan's face.
The audience in front of the TV might not understand why Qin Yan was so surprised, but during the live filming, Qin Yan really showed his emotions subconsciously.
Because in his script for Fruit TV, there is no such link,
It stands to reason that he is the highest-ranking actor in "Laughing Jianghu", and Qin Yan also wrote the script for this show.
If the program group wants to make changes to the game script, they should ask themselves first,
Qin Yan realized at that time that something was wrong.
He tried hard to observe Xi Qianqian, and as expected, he saw a little bit of excitement in Xi Qianqian's expression.
Just when Qin Yan was thinking about what kind of wish Xi Qianqian would make, Xi Qianqian had already opened his mouth without any hesitation, apparently already prepared:
"We want to see Director Qin in ancient costume."
Here Xi Qianqian uses "we" instead of "I".
Just now, after Mr. He proposed to realize the wish of the Jianghu team, Xi Qianqian did not communicate with the people around him at all, but expressed their common wish, which can only prove that the answer was colluded before the show started.
Qin Yan saw through everything in an instant, this group of people had long colluded to punish him.Although I was very angry in my heart, I still had to keep a smile on my face.
At this time, Xu Tiantian in front of the TV was completely excited, she finally saw the previous preview screen, and at the same time, she was looking forward to Qin Yan's appearance in ancient costume.
As a result, Qin Yan on the TV said calmly:
"For ancient costumes, our crew is still very particular. Each set of clothes is customized according to each person's figure. And each set of clothes is actually carefully designed by our stylist. For example, look at the clothes on Xie Beiyang ..."
While Qin Yan tried to change the subject, he did not forget to praise the costume design of his movie, and seized every opportunity to establish the Gundam image of "Laughing Jianghu".
Mr. He is a person who has seen all kinds of speech skills. He stretched out his right finger, shook his head and said at the same time:
"No, no, no, Director Qin has already prepared clothes for you in advance. It was prepared by your crew designer, and it is absolutely consistent with the style of the entire crew of "Laughing Jianghu"."
Qin Yan is still there: "In fact, ancient costumes need to be customized according to each person's figure. I want to leave a better impression on the audience and everyone. Let's talk about it next time."
However, the smile on Teacher He's face has not diminished in the slightest:
"Director Qin, our film crew already knew all kinds of detailed parameters about your figure, so you won't be able to escape this time."
In fact, the TV is far from being able to convey the undercurrent of the filming scene.
When Qin Yan heard these words, his first reaction was to stare at Xie Beiyang.
Because what Teacher He said just now, "We already have all kinds of detailed data on your figure".
This reminded Qin Yan that some time ago Xie Beiyang took the initiative to ask about his body shape data, saying that he wanted to study the issue of clothing customization, and the premiere ceremony of "Laughing Jianghu" was coming soon.
Xie Beiyang didn't have any doubts at the time, so he gave Xie Beiyang his information.Xie Beiyang usually finds professional tailors to order some clothes, so he knows what data he needs.
If it is true that the program team has prepared clothes according to his figure, then the most likely betrayer is Xie Beiyang.
Sure enough, when Mr. He was playing tricks on Qin Yan, Xie Beiyang secretly turned 30 degrees sideways, using his side face to avoid Qin Yan's gaze, completely guilty of guilt.
After a while, Qin Yan still sighed: "Okay. You guys have to let me change clothes first."
After saying this, Qin Yan saw Xie Beiyang's eyes glow with excitement.The same is true for Yang Zhenhai and the others. This is the second time they have succeeded in forcing the palace. The last time they saw their director wearing ancient costumes was half a year ago, and it was only a glimpse.
Qin Yan thought: Forget it, just let these brats do it once, and don't bother with them.
Under the guidance of the field staff, Qin Yan went backstage to change clothes.
After all, it is an ancient costume, and it also involves the issue of wigs and headgear.It took a while, and the show was still being recorded. In order not to let the scene cool down, Xie Beiyang and the others brought another wonderful acting performance, which drew cheers from the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
But at this time, Xu Tiantian didn't have the heart to watch the show anymore, and was waiting for Qin Yan's appearance with all her heart.
Although teachers Xie Beiyang, Yang Zhenhai, and Duan Hong are all handsome, everyone has their own aesthetic preferences.
As for Xu Tiantian, as a little girl, she actually prefers a mature and powerful man like Qin Yan.
Finally, during Teacher He's countdown, Qin Yan came out from behind the scenes.
At this moment, not only Xu Tiantian, but also Xie Beiyang and others on TV were dumbfounded.
The character designed by the costume designer for Qin Yan is the rumored big devil in the Jianghu, and the color of the clothes is simple and mysterious black.
But this kind of black does not represent monotony. The whole robe is made of gilding, dark lines, vulcanization and other techniques, so that the whole black robe has a faint golden light flowing, and it is particularly soft, which looks magnificent. .
God knows how long the stylists of "Laughing Jianghu" have been coveting Qin Yan's beauty.
Before Qin Yan was on the set, he always wore a white shirt and dangled in front of their eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with other costumed actors on the set.
They also admitted that Qin Yan in formal attire is indeed handsome, but they have always had an obsession in their hearts, that is, they must design an ancient costume look for Qin Yan. Professor Qin Yan and Pingying gave them a lot of pointers when designing the look.
Qin Yan is a powerful studio tyrant, how dare they make such a request, they can only design one set of plans in their hearts.
Finally, when the movie was finished, the whole crew "rebelled" together and forced Qin Yan to wear ancient costumes for a while, and even filmed a small easter egg, but Qin Yan's character in the movie didn't show his face at all, and the clothes were very plain. willing!
The stylists were so excited to receive the secret mission arranged by Fruit TV that they suffered from insomnia for several nights in a row.
Finally, I have the opportunity to turn the ideas in my mind into reality.
When they first designed Qin Yan's shape, they designed it completely according to Qin Yan's own characteristics.They were thinking—
If you want to find a role for Qin Yan in the play, it must be Xie Beiyang.
Qin Yan is like a peerless monster, his usual pleasure is to tease the little white Han Yuanbin in the world.
Therefore, when designing clothing, the designers designed many elements that echo each other, such as the pattern on the clothes, the jade on the body, the shape of the shoes, etc., all of which are their careful thoughts.
When Qin Yan walked to the center of the arena, everyone noticed the matching clothes of Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan.
Mr. He is known as an excellent microphone, and his ability to find topics is a must. He also discovered these elements in the first time, so he crazily made fun of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang.
It wasn't until Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang posed a few poses together on the stage that they were let go.
And Xu Tiantian in front of the TV was even more excited. She knew that Qin Yan was handsome, but Qin Yan's handsomeness completely exceeded her expectations.
The black robe allowed Qin Yan to completely get rid of the last bit of youthfulness; the slightly painted eyebrows made Qin Yan's temperament even more stern.
If Qin Yan in the audience could still use a smile to cover up his inner stubbornness and sharpness, then Qin Yan, who had changed into a black ancient costume at this time, fully displayed the aura of a villain, looking down on the world.
At the same time, Xu Tiantian also discovered something very puzzling.
The reason why she likes Qin Yan is not because of Qin Yan's talent, but simply because Qin Yan's appearance fits her aesthetics too well.
She originally thought that after Qin Yan changed into an ancient costume, she would be even more excited and fall in love with Qin Yan completely.In fact, when she saw Qin Yan's ancient costume for the first time, she did have this reaction.
But when Teacher He arranged for Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan to interact in some small games and take pictures together, she found that Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan seemed to be more suitable when they stood together.
This realization made her a little desperate, and at the same time, some difficult emotions and thoughts began to grow quietly.
Just when Xu Tiantian was exploring her true inner thoughts, her mother suddenly asked:
"Just now I seem to have heard that these actors are promoting their movie, what is it called "Laughing Jianghu"? Right?"
Although she was very sad in her heart, it was impossible for Xu Tiantian to ignore her mother's question. She nodded and said, "Yes."
Then Xu's mother said decisively: "When the movie is released, you can take me to watch it together. They even made the last "Weekend Party" so funny, their movie must be good."
Thinking of Xu Tiantian, who still has a movie to look forward to, she put aside the throbbing in her heart for a moment, and she nodded and said, "When the time comes, let's go together."
Dad Xu who was silently watching TV on the side also said quietly: "I want to go too."
Similar scenes also happened in many families in mainland China.
At the same time, the staff of Fruit TV was also busy announcing the good news to each other.Because "Weekend Party" reached the highest ratings since its broadcast, directly breaking 4%.
This is definitely an achievement that can stand out from the crowd in local stations.And this means that the movie "Laughing Jianghu" is the first hit.
As the first launch of the entire publicity plan, the success of "Weekend Party" kicked off the promotional campaign of "Laughing Jianghu" in the whole mainland.
After that, Qin Yan divided the whole team into several groups, and then contacted many different programs and interviews.
Young actors like Xie Beiyang go to variety shows and entertainment newspapers, while actors with works like Duan Hong go to TV shows and news interviews...
Qin Yan did not hesitate to use the influence of each actor to let more and more people know "Laughing Jianghu".
Of course, Qin Yan himself was not idle, he also accepted a lot of interviews, and he was even more famous than Xie Beiyang and the others.
Even with the successful precedent of "Weekend Party", it took Qin Yan a lot of energy to contact various media, and even made Qin Yan owe a lot of favors.
You must know that Qin Yan especially hates being indebted, which will affect his future subjective judgment.
But Qin Yan thinks all of this is worth it, as long as he successfully builds his own brand with Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, and can make the audience believe that the movies he makes will be high-quality products in the future, then this is a huge investment. .
Of course, Qin Yan knew better than anyone else.Now their fame is not due to their own strength, but more because of their appearance, and because of the attention on "Weekend Party".
Qin Yan kept reminding Xie Beiyang and other young actors not to be inflated.Maybe they can't listen to it, that's their own business.
Qin Yan's promotional activities lasted until about mid-November, and the promotion of "Laughing Jianghu" can be seen on various media basically every day.
On the one hand, with Qin Yan's efforts, in fact, on the other hand, it can be regarded as taking advantage of the right time and place.
Due to the special type of pneumonia, the box office market in the mainland has been sluggish so far. In September, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", starring Jiang Wu and Xiao Yanzi, co-produced by Columbia and Huayou, was also released.
Before the release, the investors also expressed their expectation that "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" can gain something in the Oscars, and audiences across the country are full of expectations.
After the results were released, the audience unanimously cursed: What the hell is this.
With an investment of 7400 million, the global box office is only 5000 million, and the loss is about 5000 million!Columbia and Huayou lost their underwear.
However, the caliber of the producer's external publicity is still: "Heaven and Earth Heroes" is good enough, but because of the epidemic, the box office is not good.I hope everyone will go to the cinema to support "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".
In fact, everyone knows how good this movie is, and the market has once again been blamed.
But the major film and television companies are still worried that if the box office is really so low because of the sluggish market, what should they do?
So in the end, only a few films such as "Mobile Phone" and "Infernal Affairs 3" are confirmed to be released at the end of the year, and most of the films continue to adopt a conservative attitude, waiting for the recovery of the film market.
So every movie that is confirmed to be released has become the darling of the media, and these movies are put together for comparison every day.There is always a selection of "A few movies at the end of the year, which one are you most looking forward to?", "Several directors competing on the same stage, who do you support more?"
Qin Yan originally didn't intend to compare with the works of famous directors such as "Mobile Phone" and "Infernal Affairs 3". In the industry, this is called "touching porcelain" - bundling excellent movies to elevate one's own status.
But the public has even put Qin Yan and these film directors together to judge.
Without any media resources in his hands, Qin Yan has no way to control public opinion, so he can only remain silent and refuse all interviews on these issues.
Qin Yan wanted to prove himself with the quality of "Laughing Jianghu", so starting from November, Qin Yan stopped all promotional activities and quietly waited for the final battlefield.
Of course, Qin Yan is not idle either. The new movie that was originally planned to start shooting in the middle of this year has been stranded until now.
Some time ago, the script of the entire movie had been completed, and Qin Yan began to look for his favorite actors again.
In the previous life, many people said that Qin Yan did not miss the old love, and it was almost difficult to see Qin Yan working with an actor for the second time.
But in fact, on the contrary, Qin Yan is actually a director who likes to use old actors, especially actors who have been raped by himself.
Because the acting skills of the actors who have personally passed the test are absolutely passable.And everyone has already cooperated, and they understand more clearly what Qin Yan needs.
It's a pity that Qin Yan has been missing the three major awards. Even in the Chinese film circle, Qin Yan is not the only choice for actors to compete for awards.
After most of the actors have worked with Qin Yan once, there will be no sequels.
Some of them were unable to accept Qin Yan's request for filming.
The shooting cycle of other films is only two to three months. Even if the pre-production and post-stage publicity are added, the full-fledged work cycle is only 6 months.They are more than enough to shoot two works in one year.
But once you join Qin Yan's crew, it often takes half a year to make a movie, let alone other jobs.
Just like the filming of "Laughing Jianghu" this time, Qin Yan required all the actors to do physical training in advance, and arranged nearly two months of publicity work.
When filming literary and artistic films before, there was no popularity and no exposure. Many actors joined Qin Yan's crew when the traffic was high, and were soon abandoned by the market when the film was released.
It's not that Qin Yan hates traffic stars by nature, on the contrary, traffic stars avoid Qin Yan like snakes and scorpions.
Coupled with Qin Yan's faultfinding in movies, the pressure on every actor was too great.
Don't think that every actor has the dream of being an actor and queen, and that he has a lifelong passion for acting career.
Some actors just want to fool around, and after working with Qin Yan, they no longer want to accept that kind of intense filming work.
Even Xi Qianqian and Liu Zhengwen don't want to write scripts again, people are lazy and lazy.
Of course, more actors were because Qin Yan didn't give enough money.
After all, compared with other crews, Qin Yan gave the actors too little money.
For example, Qin Yan recently communicated with Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan in private, asking if they would have time to audition for his next movie. There are several young roles in the movie that are quite suitable for both of them.
The real problem is also very acute, that is, their roles are not even considered as the second male and female second, but can only be regarded as relatively important supporting roles.
Both Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan replied to Qin Yan tactfully.
"I'm sorry, Director Qin. I've been really tired recently, and I want to take a break first." "Director Qin, I have to discuss it with my agency before replying to you."
Qin Yan didn't show any emotional changes during the phone call, he just smiled and said, "Okay."
Qin Yan really didn't have any emotional changes in his heart, because Qin Yan had encountered this kind of thing more than once or twice.
When taking Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan to run variety shows, Qin Yan can be said to be a bowl of water, giving these young actors a lot of room to show off.
Although in terms of popularity, Yang Zhenhai, Yuan Qiushan and several young actors are still not as good as Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian.
But it can be regarded as a familiarity among young people, and many brokerage companies or directors have taken a fancy to their potential.
Qin Yan didn't know if Yang Zhenhai and Yuan Qiushan had signed a contract with a new crew, and he didn't know if they really found a brokerage company.
But what is certain is that they have received new invitations, and they must be treated better than themselves.
Don't watch Qin Yan's movies, the investment is not bad in China, but most of his money is spent on filming and ordinary crew members.
Qin Yan himself admitted that he was stingy about the actor's salary.
But he won't have any grievances, because most of the actors get more from him than that little contract remuneration.
Movies, to put it bluntly, are still a business.It is personal freedom to cooperate with whomever you want, and Qin Yanzhen has no intention of forcing them.
But for the next two numbers, Qin Yan hesitated a little.
Qin Yan even picked up the phone, typing in the phone was very slow, but finally put it down again.
This is about Qin Yan's previous experience.
Qin Yan prefers to use young people. As a great director, he has also trained many young actors.
In the movie called "Autumn Killing", he used two amateurs who had never acted before, especially the leading actor, and directly won the best actor in the three domestic awards.
After the leading actor won the Best Actor, he became very popular all of a sudden, and his worth took off like a rocket.
When Qin Yan signed him, the salary he gave was 50 yuan.
This is already quite a generous price for amateurs who have no works.It's just that it's nothing compared to the cost of 5000 million.
But after winning the award, the leading actor seemed to have a little swell.
The movie that invited him started with a contract of several million, while the TV series was even more exaggerated, directly giving an 8-figure salary.
Qin Yan knows that this world is bustling with people, and rituals come and go.It is understandable that the leading actor has a new take out.
It's just that Qin Yan's new movie at that time needed a young actor to play a supporting role, and he had a good chance of hitting the three major international awards.
The male protagonist of "Autumn Killing" is indeed very aura, and his appearance also meets the characteristics of the character.
As a result, Qin Yan made a phone call, and the actor on the other end of the phone communicated with Qin Yan arrogantly, without any respect in his words, let alone the kindness of knowing him.
When Qin Yan invited him to play a supporting role, the male actor directly stated that he would not be able to act as a supporting role, and the price must be equal to the market.
Qin Yan's family is indeed rich, but the money is not for fools.
Immediately, Qin Yan put out this thought, and did not want to have any contact with the other party in the future.But to save face, what Qin Yan said at the time was: "I'll think about it again."
Within two days, all kinds of news broke out on the Internet: the male actor once again cooperated with the famous director Qin Yan, and the salary was as high as eight figures.
No one in the whole circle knew Qin Yan's temper.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the male movie star using Qin Yan to market his status - even Qin Yan gave me a special salary, you all know my status.
Qin Yan didn't want to affect the casting of his next movie, so he immediately issued an announcement, saying that the casting of his movie hadn't started yet.
However, never underestimate the extent to which a person will swell after suddenly gaining huge fame and fortune.
After being slapped in the face by Qin Yan in public, the new film star couldn't swallow his breath.
So I asked someone to send a draft saying that I was treated unfairly by Qin Yan back then.He filmed "Autumn Killing" with an investment of 5000 million yuan, and only paid 50 yuan for the film. Qin Yan was described between the lines as a greedy miser.
This incident really disgusted Qin Yan.
Of course, Qin Yan would not let the other party go, although he is only a director of literary films.But there are quite a few people in this circle who have received his favor, and Qin Yan's family is rich and powerful.
Therefore, this film king only had one work in "Autumn Kill" in his whole life, and he disappeared from the film industry after that.
Although the newly promoted actor is an isolated case, more actors are inadvertently alienated from Qin Yan.
There is no way to film with Qin Yan, and the income is only hundreds of thousands in a year and a half.But after being gilded at Qin Yan's place, and making money in another place, there will always be an 8-figure income in a year.
Who wants to have trouble with money?
Later, there was this strange saying in the film industry: want to win awards, want to improve acting skills, want to improve stature
