Cross the road of the director

Mo Feiyang was more concerned about the gambling than Lu Jue.

I know my own affairs.

As the leader of the previous young directors and a senior director who debuted for 12 years, Mo Feiyang is over [-] years old and has made a total of six films, but none of them can match the box office of Lu Jue.

Billion box office.

Whether it's luck or marketing, it all represents Lu Jue's strength.

Mo Feiyang looked down on Lu Jue's frequent searches and messy marketing, but he also recognized Lu Jue's own marketing strength.Once can be accidental, but so many times?

Since the bet was made.

Mo Feiyang carefully collected the information on the explosion of "The Ninth Letter", and also looked through various works of Lu Jue to understand the strength of his opponent.

Maybe it's self-confidence, maybe it's prejudice, Mo Feiyang agrees that "The Ninth Letter" is a good work, but he always feels that it can't compare with his own work.

The betting contract stipulates that the winner or loser will be determined by the box office of the two new works.

Jiuxiang is also afraid of deep alleys. In terms of popularity, Lu Jue has more fans than himself.Mo Feiyang believed in his own strength, but was worried about Lu Jue's marketing skills.

What's more, Mo Feiyang's new work has already been decided. It is a literary film adapted from the classic literature "To Live".

This is a project carefully selected by Dongyuan with the intention of competing for awards.

After Mo Feiyang took over, he knew it would be difficult to get a high box office.When choosing a scenic spot, anger made him respond impulsively, and then he fell into deep regret.

How to do?

Mo Feiyang was afraid that Lu Jue's new work would be a commercial film, and he was even more afraid that Lu Jue would rely on marketing to make money at the box office.

On Dongyuan's side, Gao Zhixin sensed that Mo Feiyang was in a bad mood, and tried to comfort him in various ways.According to his idea, Mo Feiyang can make this movie first, postpone the release, and then take the time to pull traffic stars to make a new work that makes money.

Traffic + big IP = box office.

Since Zhuang Sixian's shoddy movie made half a billion dollars, this formula has become the favorite movie genre of major companies.

Mo Feiyang was a little moved, but when he learned that Dongyuan was only willing to spend 500 million as the investment cost, his original thoughts disappeared.

He can make money-making movies, but he also wants to stick to the principle and make every work the best.

500?

Indeed, Mo Feiyang can seek investment from other film and television companies according to what Dong Yuan said, but this method will take a lot of time just to find investors.

In two years, it was difficult for him to make another money-making movie while filming "To Live".

Mo Feiyang struggled for a long time, and even after the filming of "To Live", his overall condition was not particularly good.

At this time, his "junior brother" Tian Zhibin brought news that the cost of Lu Jue's new film was around 5000 million, and the script was likely to be a pure comedy or a light comedy drama.

It's not a commercial film.

Drama movies, at least have the power to fight.

After hearing the news, Mo Feiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, the film was finished and the post-production was basically completed. Mo Feiyang had asked people to promote "To Live" early on.In the end, Du Xiaoshuang came out and rubbed the promotion of "Alive" on the floor. At the same time, he also took away Dongyuan's resources, making it impossible for Mo Feiyang to ask Gao Zhixin and the others for help.

June.

Du Xiaoshuang's matter is finally over.

Mo Feiyang regained his strength and asked the Propaganda Department to repurchase the hot search and marketing accounts, paving the way for "Alive".

At first, things went well. The hot searches related to "Alive" once rushed to the fourth place.

However, with the passage of time, netizens are really not interested in this kind of trailer that has no topicality, and its hot searches gradually dropped until it was completely covered up by other news.

The topic can't be heated up at all!

After Mo Feiyang found out about this, his already bad mood became even more uncomfortable.

What should I do next?

Mo Feiyang has never paid so much attention to marketing and popularity in previous movies.This time, he tried his best and edited four or five versions of the trailer, hoping to make the audience like it.

As a result, it only attracted a small amount of attention and discussion, and it didn't have the enthusiasm of Lu Jue before.

How about going to Zhuang Sixian to learn from him?

In desperation, Mo Feiyang even wanted to go to Zhuang Sixian, a little money-making expert.

At this moment.

Tian Zhibin hurriedly found Mo Feiyang and told him the great news.

It turns out that Yu Zihao, the newcomer who is now popular on Twitter, is one of the supporting actors in "To Live".

Yu Zihao, who has played a role for a year or two, is willing to take any role.In April last year, he took over a web drama "Like Love" with an ambiguous relationship between men and men. At the end of the year, he joined the crew of "To Live" and played a role that didn't last for 2 minutes.

In May of this year, the web drama filmed by Yu Zihao was broadcast.

After a period of spreading, he has now become the traffic of the new year, attracting the attention of many fans and people outside the circle.

Now, no matter who it is, as long as they bring the name Yu Zihao, the popularity will at least double.

"...Brother, I remember Yu Zihao, he has a quick temper and likes to get to know the crew members. Years ago, you scolded him, do you remember?"

With a tense face, Tian Zhibin reminded again and again.

Under normal circumstances, few people can remember such a small actor who only lasts one or two minutes.The reason why Tian Zhibin can remember it is precisely because the girl he has a crush on is obsessed with Yu Zihao's appearance and has never had a good look at him.

During that time, he hated Yu Zihao so much that he naturally remembered this person.

As the chief director, how could Mo Feiyang remember such a small role?

He frowned and thought for a long time before he vaguely remembered that there was such a person.He asked hesitantly: "I know Yu Zihao, he is very popular now, is he really the actor of "To Live"?"

Tian Zhibin nodded affirmatively, and said, "Senior brother, if you don't believe me, you can watch the extras."

Mo Feiyang: "..."

He was silent, thoughtful.

Tian Zhibin added: "Now that Yu Zihao is popular, why don't we use his popularity to promote "To Live"? With his topic, the box office of the movie can at least double."

Mo Feiyang frowned, and retorted subconsciously: "Use him for publicity? What about the leading actors? In order to win the award this time, our leading actors are all actor and actress queens. Even if they are not popular, they can't be ignored by a small The supporting role steals the limelight? No, no, no, we can't do this."

Tian Zhibin had nothing to say after hearing this.

Also, if Yu Zihao is used as a selling point, it will definitely offend the hero and heroine.At that time, Yu Zihao may not be unlucky, but he who came up with the idea must be unlucky.

Thinking of this, he retreated.

heat!heat!

Mo Feiyang's mind was in a mess, thinking about the promotional data of "To Live" for a while, and thinking about the various operations that Lu Jue might do.

After a long time, he let out a heavy breath, and said in a deep voice: "You can't just make a fuss about Yu Zihao." After a pause, "In this way, let's release the movie sideshow, and bring Yu Zihao in the sideshow, and let the fans 'surprise' discover his existence."

As soon as this remark came out, Tian Zhibin couldn't help but praised: "Good idea! Senior brother, I'm going to ask someone to re-edit the movie footage." After speaking, he left with a face full of excitement.

Looking at his back, Mo Feiyang's anxiety finally eased a little.

#alive Yu Zihao#

#Mo Feiyang Yu Zihao#

#Hao Hao's new movie is alive#

As expected, when a fan 'accidentally' discovered Yu Zihao's figure in the tidbits of "To Live", major marketing accounts immediately edited and forwarded it, and the story spread.

This is the time when drama chasing girls are most addicted and active.

The appearance of Yu Zihao made the drama-chasing girls overjoyed, and they all consciously understood the movie "To Live".

"Mo Feiyang? I checked on Tomato.com, and the ratings of the films made by this director are pretty good."

"Hahahahaha I didn't expect our Haohao to make a movie so soon, it's really promising. Woohoo, my sister couldn't help but shed tears of emotion."

""To Live" is a classic literary work written by the author Chang Hui 20 years ago. This novel is amazing, plus Dongyuan Entertainment and this Mo Feiyang. Obviously, this movie is Dongyuan's award-winning movie, Yu Zihao To be able to participate in the show, this luck is too bad, isn't it?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Is it Haohao's first movie? It's so exciting."

"It's my luck to be a fan of Yu Zihao."

"@莫飞扬, director, director, I don't know how our Haohao's role is going to be? Aww, there are too few tidbits, it's not enough to watch, I can't wait any longer, the director should release it sooner."

"Who knows when "To Live" will be released? I want to buy movie tickets."

……

Fans of Drama Chasing Girl and Yu Zihao are particularly active. On the official blog of "Alive", the tweet about the movie tidbits reached [-] comments in half a day.

This kind of enthusiasm, even Mo Feiyang, the instigator, could not have imagined.

Mo Feiyang never thought about it, just opened Twitter, countless Aites stuck his mobile phone to death, and his number of fans rose to 60 in just half a day.

60 million!

This number is not comparable to Lu Jue, but it is also higher than other directors.You know, even Zhuang Sixian, who is keen on marketing, has only 80 Twitter followers.

Mo Feiyang just posted a tidbit and surpassed most of the directors through Yu Zihao.

Look at your own blog again.

All of Yu Zihao's fans came to leave messages, cheering for him, or asking him to take care of Yu Zihao, in short, the scene was extremely lively.

To be honest, this kind of treatment made Mo Feiyang intoxicated.

He didn't dare to take Yu Zihao to publicize in an open and honest manner, so he could only silently like the message, hoping to convey his 'goodwill' to others.

After 2 minutes, Mo Feiyang canceled the like again to cover up.

#Mo Feiyang Likes#

2 minutes is enough for fans to take screenshots.

Soon, the trending search for Mo Feiyang's likes came out. Fans claimed that this was evidence of Mo Feiyang's support for Yu Zihao, and refused to admit the possibility of "swipe likes" raised by the people who eat melons.

In short, no matter whether Mo Feiyang is slippery or not, this wave of enthusiasm has reached him.

at the same time.

Zhan Yan, Yu Zihao's agent, also learned about the crew of "Alive" from himself.In connection with the bet made last year, she vaguely guessed the reason why Mo Feiyang did this.

A 2-minute scene?

Hehe, after this wave of hype, I'm afraid that this little shot can't satisfy those fans, right?

Zhan Yan did not contact Mo Feiyang in a hurry, but waited until the next day, when the heat dissipated, and then called Mo Feiyang leisurely.

"Hello Mo, I'm Yu Zihao's manager Zhan Yan. I hope you can forgive me if I bother you."

Zhan Yan's straightforward words startled Mo Feiyang.

He swallowed guiltyly, adjusted his mentality secretly, and asked Zhan Yan what's the matter pretending to be calm.

"Hehe, I'm contacting you this time because I want to chat with you about Yu Zihao."

"Hey, Yu Zihao, this stinky boy, I didn't say it before, and I don't know that he will be lucky enough to participate in Director Mo's movie. Director Mo, I don't know how our Yu Zihao performed in "To Live"? Do we want it?" How about promoting it with you?"

"Our family, Zihao, has a serious personality, and any job can match your..."

Zhan Yan on the other end of the phone chattered a lot, until Mo Feiyang had no chance to answer.Finally, when Zhan Yan stopped, he smiled and said, "Miss Zhan, Yu Zihao is a good actor, it's just for publicity..."

"Guo Mo!"

"Zihao now needs a movie to increase his status, and you also need popularity to hype "Alive". We cooperate with each other and make each other the best choice!"

Mo Feiyang choked, knowing that Zhan Yan was telling the truth.

It's just that most of the time, the best choice is not the right choice, not to mention Yu Zihao.

Yesterday, Mo Feiyang specially looked for "Like Love" and watched it. To be honest, his acting skills are very average.How could he be satisfied with ordinary acting skills in a TV series like this?

Mo Feiyang cherishes his feathers, so he naturally doesn't want to be associated with a traffic star like Yu Zihao.

"Director Mo, I know that our Zi Hao is not outstanding enough, but he is young."

"Youth is the capital these days. Look at those 1000 million fans, and think about the popularity of your works in the past few years. Besides, the movie tidbits are spreading too fast, and everyone who should know knows about it gone."

"Even if you disregard the relationship here, those fans may not admit it. If you don't believe me, you can seriously look through your tweets..."

Zhan Yan tried her best to persuade, and emphasized the phrase 'I'm afraid I know everything I need to know'.

When Mo Feiyang heard it, his heart fluttered and he frowned, thinking about what she meant.At the same time, he opened the blog on his computer, staring at the words of support from Yu Zihao's fans.After a while, he said irritably: "Even if I am willing to cooperate with the publicity, Yu Zihao doesn't have enough materials to cooperate."

Just like what Zhan Yan said, the extras of the movie were done too hastily. There are no fools in the entertainment industry. I'm afraid the hero and heroine of "Alive" have already guessed Mo Feiyang's intentions.

Originally, Mo Feiyang didn't want to hide it from them, but he didn't want to break the superficial peace, but he didn't expect that Zhan Yan would find him the next day and forcefully force him to cooperate.

This attitude made him very dissatisfied.

"As for the material, we can use extras instead. If the extras are not enough, we can make up shots, right? Director Mo, as long as you are willing to bring us Zihao, you can negotiate any conditions."

As a veteran manager, Zhan Yan is not short-sighted.

Now that Yu Zihao is popular, and she has backing support behind her, she is naturally unwilling to offend Yu Zihao in order to make money, and lose this cash cow forever.

"Let me tell you another word."

"Zihao is going to hit the film industry in the future. We are in contact with director Jiang Zhixian. I can't guarantee that Zihao will join Director Jiang's team, but without Director Jiang, we have other directors to choose from. My side and You made contact because you wanted to pave the way for Zi Hao in advance."

"Mo Dao, you should be flexible."

Jiang Zhixian?

The famous guide Jiang Zhixian?Director Jiang Da who worked with Lu Wenyao?

Hearing Zhan Yan's words, Mo Feiyang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that there must be someone behind Yu Zihao, otherwise how could he get in touch with Director Jiang with his ability?Moreover, will it develop into the film industry in the future?

Mo Feiyang thought for a long time, and finally let go.

When Mo Feiyang was busy promoting his new work, Lu Zixu also joined the crew of a certain TV series, officially returning to the profession of actor.

As a child who was taught by Lu Wenyao and went abroad to study halfway, Lu Zixu's acting skills are not only 01:30 points better than those traffic stars, but he is not as good as actors from majors like Huaxia Drama Academy.

This time, Lu Zixu received the male number two of the idol drama, with more roles and extremely pleasing characters.For him, it doesn't take much thought to play this kind of role well.

In contrast, Xu Haodong, the number one male who was born in a draft, can only be domineering and handsome when acting, and he is always a bit short of something.

Xu Haodong, Dongyuan used to use his similar face to Lu Wenyao to publicize, and later he was crushed by Lu Jue who was present in costume, and he was severely humiliated.

During this filming, Xu Haodong did not expect to meet Lu Wenyao's adopted son Lu Zixu.Out of guilty conscience, he seldom took the initiative to chat with Lu Zixu, let alone contact him.

Lu Zixu noticed this, so he rarely approached him.

Originally, Lu Zixu didn't know the whole story, but where there are people, there are gossips. One time when the crew chatted, he also knew about Xu Haodong and Lu Jue's festivities.

Afterwards, Lu Zixu just pretended not to know, and communicated with everyone as usual.

Day by day.

On an ordinary Friday, Lu Zixu received a call from his manager and heard a surprising piece of news.

It turned out that there was a new variety show on the Strawberry Channel, and they hoped to invite Lu Zixu to participate.Besides him, Strawberry Terrace is also planning to invite Tong Xue and Qi Huai.

Tong Xue?Qi Huai?

Lu Zixu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Strawberry TV was trying to use the 'victims of the exchange case' to create hype.Needless to say, he is the adopted son of the movie star; Tong Xue, an idol who debuted in an audition after graduating from university, is also one of the victims;

Strawberry Station on this list?It's all about using their identities to hype the topic!

It is conceivable that once this variety show is broadcast, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, and these participants can take this opportunity to become new traffic.

Lu Zixu didn't realize that under the subtle influence of the system, he had already regarded 'flow' as his dream.So, facing this rare opportunity, he really couldn't refuse, so he immediately agreed.

On the other side, Qi Huai and the others also received an invitation from Strawberry TV.

Tong Xue made her debut midway and has no professional training. Her acting skills and idol professionalism are mediocre.Over the years, mainly relying on his identity as a 'victim of the exchange case', he managed to barely understand the truth.

However, her career has not made much breakthrough for a long time, and fans have climbed the wall one after another, and her popularity is no longer what it used to be.With this premise, Tong Xue couldn't refuse Strawberry Terrace's invitation at all.

Among the three, only Qi Huai did not reply.

As a talented child star, Qi Huai has his own instinct for acting.Because of this, he has never experienced the pain of "no filming" since he was a child.

After the son-changing case broke out, Qi Huai withdrew from the entertainment circle and once regarded civil servants as his future goal.It's a pity that his thoughts were dismissed by his brothers early on, and he turned around and won the job of 'actor', so he and Lu Jue became roommates.

Coming out again, he was very talented and liked by the teacher, and then signed under Lu Wenyao's studio.

Since the days of child stars, Qi Huai has never received his own salary.Because of this, he doesn't care about the number of roles, nor does he care about the salary, as long as he can support himself.Every day, I put on the appearance that what the agent says is what.

Over the years, Qi Huai has been making money for Lu Wenyao's studio with a relatively low share according to the agreement.

"Qi Huai, take a look at this variety show."

Lu Fangfang, Qi Huai's manager, frowned slightly, and casually handed over a proposal.

Qi Huai took it, and after a quick glance, he said, "Sister Fangfang, Strawberry Terrace is a good plan. Well, the nature of tourism, passing through so many places along the way, there will definitely be various special snacks, I think I can do it."

Lu Fangfang glared at him, and said, "Let me add that besides you, Strawberry TV also invited Tong Xue and Lu Zixu."

Qi Huai: "..."

Qi Huai has a natural personality, but he is not an idiot.

As soon as he heard the names of these two people, he realized that Strawberry TV wanted to make trouble.Needless to say, Lu Zixu, good brother Lu Jue's 'brother', Tong Xue has been making hype for many years, and he has also heard about the situation.

Without any hesitation, Qi Huai said, "No."

"...Strawberry TV is the best variety show TV station in China. After going there, I dare not say anything else. The popularity and fans will definitely increase. Are you really going?"

Lu Fangfang reminded.

Lu Wenyao and his son rarely talked about the Lu family's affairs to the outside world, so everyone naturally didn't know what they thought about Lu Zixu.It's just that Lu Zixu was sent to study abroad back then, and Lu Zixu seldom went back to Lu's house after returning home, and Lu Wenyao and his son rarely interacted with Lu Zixu in public...

Combining all kinds of factors, any smart person can guess that the Lu family doesn't want to get too entangled with Lu Zixu.

Lu Fangfang, a shrewd woman, had already guessed, but she would not hide this project just to please the boss.On the contrary, out of the professional ethics of an agent, she took the initiative to find Qi Huai, ready to explain the situation clearly.

On Qi Huai's side, as early as when he lived with Lu Jue, he vaguely guessed his dislike for Lu Zixu.He clearly remembered that every time he excitedly mentioned his brother Zhao Zeyu, he would never talk about Lu Zixu.

Qi Huai thinks he is a competent brother, so why would he want to go on a variety show with someone his brother hates?

"Don't go, don't go!"

Qi Huai emphasized again.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang persuaded: "Apart from you, Strawberry TV also invited Zhao Qiuyue and Jiang Xuetong..."

Qi Huai interrupted angrily: "Oh, Sister Fangfang, I can't talk anymore. What do you think these guests are doing? Do you want to listen or not?"

Lu Fangfang: "..."

After Qi Huai made his decision, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.However, he didn't want to know, how could Lu Fangfang ignore the "highlights" of this variety show?

Needless to say, the victims of the child-changing case must be a hot spot; in addition, Zhao Qiuyue and Jiang Xuetong, a pair of plastic girlfriends who have fallen out, will inevitably attract a lot of topic once they are in the same frame; there are also two generations of Ding Weiliang and Yu Zihao. The same frame of traffic stars...

Strawberry Terrace's project clearly needs to be hyped up and cause trouble. If Qi Huai can't make it, it will be too much of a disadvantage.

So, under Lu Fangfang's explanation, Qi Huai finally understood the special features of this variety show.

After Qi Huai finished digesting the news, he blinked and said, "Sister Fangfang, I know it's a pity not to go. But I really don't want to go, so don't make things difficult for me, okay? Please, please!"

Lu Fangfang: "..."

Facing the young man who was malicious and flirtatious, Lu Fangfang couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Qi Huai didn't take it seriously, but said excitedly: "Hey, I don't know if Lu Jue has received any news about such a lively event. I have to call him to ask about his situation..."

Lu Fangfang: "..."

The author has something to say: Facing A Jue's supernatural manipulation, Director Mo is under a lot of pressure.

Bless Dao Mo, he won’t be bald (?)
