[Entertainment] Otome's game
Chapter 339
The filming of "Crossing the Sea" only took more than two months and post-production took half a year. The project that started at the beginning of 2017 was tossed until the end of the year, and Jin Roujia, who was tossing around, didn't want to take on commercial projects in the short term. The post-production was too tiring.
Tired or not, as long as the effect can be produced, many people were invited to the internal preview of the project. This time the work will not participate in any foreign awards, and it will be shown in Korea.Since it is a movie aimed at making money at the box office, the publicity must be done well, and all the available internal test screenings have been found.There were so many reporters and film critics in the venue that they could hold a premiere on the spot, and everyone who came could get a small gift, just to let them praise when writing film reviews after they were short-handed.
If you ask Jin Roujia to say that this is not an internal trial screening at all, it is an on-demand screening, and the real so-called insiders have already seen it.What is going to be screened later is either a rough cut or a finished film. The reason for this release is that the producer is still not confident whether the project will really be successful. Even if Cui Shangyu fooled her and said that the film is very good, the producer himself still has no confidence Will need more market recognition.
There are quite a few people who are worried. For example, Li Cangdong is very worried. He is also someone who has seen the rough cut in advance.The teacher's evaluation of the student's new work is that it seems to be okay. If the commercial film is cool, it will be over.
The teacher is worried that the box office will pull the hips, but he still encourages most of the students. The movie is good, as long as the movie is good, don't worry about the box office.
For example, the participating actors and ladies all thought the film was good-looking, but they were afraid that it would be useless if they thought it was good-looking, and the audience would not buy it.It's not that there are commercial films in the market that people in the industry think are well-made, but they just can't be sold. The box office of movies is really metaphysics.Sometimes we can only resign ourselves to fate, but the ladies all told the director, I have confidence in you.
There is no way for Jin Roujia to make a [-]% guarantee that the box office will be able to do so, and she is not some celestial master who can open the altar to increase the box office.But she doesn't have many worries, she has confidence in her works, and the investment in the project has been evened out by 'advertising', and the subsequent box office will be icing on the cake, so she doesn't have many worries here, at least she doesn't have to worry about her own investment Nothing to lose.
However, everyone around her was worried, and Jin Roujia felt that it was not right for her to be too relaxed by herself, so she tried to match the atmosphere and entered the stage of false worry.Who would have imagined that her cooperation didn't make the producer, teacher, actor, etc. feel empathetic with her, on the contrary, she became more worried. What should the director do if he is worried?This is frustrating for Director Jin. I'm not worried that you will say that I have too much heart. I'm worried that you think the project is about to end?What a mess!
Or the executive director who has become more frequent in private contact after the re-cooperation, He Zhengyu said, you are the magic needle of Dinghai, everyone who comes to you wants to learn from your self-confidence, they complain about you, but you If it really collapses, no one else can hold on.
"Why didn't I know that I still have this role?" Jin Roujia suspected that the other party was talking nonsense.
He Zhengyu laughed, "Only you have unlimited confidence in your own works."
"Isn't that natural?" Jin Roujia asked him back, "Is there a time when you have no confidence in your own works?"
He Zhengyu didn't want to answer this question. He raised his glass and drank. He couldn't say that more than [-]% of the people in this circle had no confidence in his work, especially when he was facing the test of the market.So even if Jin Roujia's firm self-confidence seems blind, or else she is arrogant, but her confidence can give others confidence, especially for the team participating in the same project.
Speaking of the internal preview meeting, which was the same as the order screening, there was endless applause behind the movie when the subtitles were put on the curtain. Jin Roujia, who was sitting in the first row, was full of complacency. This is her work, and she deserved applause. There was no applause. It's all blind, she's just so 'arrogant'.But Cui Shangyu, who was sitting next to her, couldn't relax. He was still very worried, afraid that this was just applauding for the sake of face.
Cui Shangyu agrees that the film is very good, very good, it is definitely a qualified commercial film, and it is definitely cool enough, but he just has concerns. It is impossible for him to not have concerns about the genre that has never appeared in the market.This concern made him work very hard in publicity, not only encouraging the distribution team to spread movie posters all over the streets, but also trying to trick the director into taking the ladies to various variety show promotions.
Similar to 'Running Man', it is a metaphysics variety show in the film industry, and the movies that claim to have been on that variety show have a good box office.The producer tricked the director into going there to contribute to the box office, so wouldn't it be good to make more money with her investment?
Cui Shangyu wanted to fool Jin Roujia to participate in the variety show, but he was afraid of being blocked by Jin Roujia, so he wanted to push Ha Zhengyu to fight thunder.He Zhengyu felt that Jin Roujia was probably willing to go.
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Is it necessary to say something that you don't even believe?" Cui Shangyu took the mobile phone and asked the actor on the other end of the phone to just say no.
The actor really didn't mean not to agree, what he was thinking was, "Jin Rou Jia Bi imagined that she valued this project, and she will not reject the promotion of the film, as long as it is really necessary."
The producer didn't believe it. He still remembered Director Jin's reluctance to go to variety shows. The last time he coaxed her to go to the show was because Li Ruizhen was on the show. But since the actor said so, "Then you ask?"
He Zhengyu laughed, "Okay."
On December 2017, 12, Kim Yoo-ja participated in the premiere of "Along with the Gods" directed by Kim Yong-hwa as an invited guest. This film is also released by CJ. One of the leading actors is Ha Zhengyu, and Ju Ji-hoon is also one of the leading actors.When she came to walk the red carpet, she was asked by the reporter who invited her to participate, and the bachelor Jin said that it was invited by the producer.
Jin Roujia, who was invited by the producer, was dragged aside by Jin Ronghua to ask how much she spent on the release. Why do you feel that my promotion is not as wide as yours?
"We're not competitors. I'm short of time with you. I haven't shown you yet. Why bother with me?" Jin Roujia didn't give the real number, but said, "Your one is released by CJ, mine is Production plus distribution, isn’t it reasonable to spend a lot of money on my side?”
In principle, it is correct to say so, but in his heart, Jin Ronghua said that the little girl was not telling the truth, "I just ask, I have a premiere today, and you also said that we are not competitors, ask what's wrong."
"You still don't ask."
"what?"
"I'm afraid you're jealous."
The junior was slapped on the arm by the senior after he finished speaking, and Jin Roujia smiled and pulled him back into the crowd. The two of them are really not competitors and there is nothing to test each other, even if they are competitors, there is no need for that.Not long after entering the crowd, Director Jin was blocked by the leading actor who had worked with him, who came up to have an awkward chat with her, and Jin Roujia was at a loss, saying how are you doing recently, what else can you do?
Jin Roujia, who didn't want to talk, looked around the crowd to find someone, quickly found He Zhengyu's position, and raised her hand to call him.He Zhengyu, who was summoned, came over and guessed what was going on at a glance. He hooked Dao Jin's shoulder and told his younger brother that they had something to talk about alone to rescue Dao Jin.
Jin Roujia, who turned her back on the former leading actor and went elsewhere, approached the rescuer and asked him if he knew what happened to Zhu Zhixun's nerves. Ha Zhengyu's answer was, the premiere, nervous.Jin Roujia felt that this answer was not right, and she was about to ask, when Ha Zhengyu told her that Cui Sangyu wanted her to take the actresses to run variety shows for publicity.
Jin Roujia stood still, a little surprised, "I'm going to run a variety show? Shouldn't artists run?"
"We didn't have a deep chat, and I don't know what his plan is, but it should be that artists run away and you run away too. They appear in variety shows more, so you participate in interviews more?" Ha Zhengyu is not sure about Cui Sangyu's plan, but Well, "It's more publicity for the director to go to variety shows, and the gimmick of your going abroad is even bigger."
Jin Roujia, who felt a little reasonable, hesitated for half a second, "Is this necessary?"
"You have to talk to Cui Shangyu about this." Ha Zhengyu couldn't give an accurate answer, "He just asked me to ask if you would like it, maybe you can arrange it if you want to, and he can't do anything if you don't want to."
In this way, Jin Roujia understood, "He thinks I don't want to?" Kanhe Zhengyu nodded with a smile, and also smiled, "That guy is really nervous, so he thinks I'm someone who doesn't want to cooperate with the propaganda."
"That's what I said too." He Zhengyu said that he guessed right, and the girl's cooperation has always been very high.
As long as it is necessary to publicize, Director Jin's cooperation has always been high. Just look at her willingness to stand up and confront religious people. It is no more dangerous than being on a variety show.At that time, Cui Shangyu, who was in charge of publishing, said that he could play a big game, and Jin Roujia directly stood up, and she was not afraid of fighting or going on variety shows.
Jin Roujia never rejects using any means to promote her works, she just needs to determine whether it is necessary to do so.
The premiere of "Along with the Gods" also ended with a round of applause. Jin Roujia was dragged by Jin Ronghua to attend their dinner together. At the wine table, the seniors and juniors vomited bitterness. , After that, the distributor also deducted it. Anyway, there is no good person in the film company.In this regard, Jin Roujia can only be a chat companion. She also has similar experiences, but none of them happened in the game.
After attending the premiere, Jin Roujia did not pay attention to this project. Cui Shangyu was very concerned. This brother was really nervous. He was so nervous that he called Jin Roujia every day to report the box office results of "Along with the Gods".When the box office of that film exceeded [-] million, Cui Shangyu went crazy, rushed to Director Jin's house in the middle of the night, smashed the door, and jumped around in the house.
The reason why the producer is so crazy is because there is a legend in the circle, similar to that if the box office of the previous work explodes, the box office of the works that will be launched in a short period of time will not be able to do so, and some luck will be sucked away.Like the Legend of the Midnight Hungry Wolf, it is unreliable when you hear it, but the crazy producer just believes it.
The producer not only believed but also tried to use science to prove the authenticity of this legend. He took out the recent attention data curve of "Crossing the Sea" and showed it to Jin Roujia as evidence.Since "Along with the Gods" was launched, the attention of their project has dropped sharply. Netizens are all discussing "Along with the Gods". No one watches them anymore, they are going to die!Completely fucked!
Not to mention, the graph did slide from the peak to the valley, and dropped a lot. It seemed quite bluffing, but Jin Roujia still felt that the producer was crazy.
A movie that is currently being screened is still a movie with a good box office and word-of-mouth. Of course, the discussion among netizens is high, and it is not normal if it is not high.The other project only has a trailer and has not yet launched. No matter how widely the publicity is done, the popularity of a blockbuster work will decline, but they are not competitors at the same level. How can there be such a comparison.
The producer doesn't care, the producer will compare it like this, Cui Shangyu is like a cat with its tail burnt, jumping around in the living room, making Jin Roujia dizzy.
The director tried to comfort the other party with rationality, the legend is the legend, don't believe the midnight legend, it's all about science in the 21st century.The producer who talked about science threw the graph on her knee, and the 'attacked' director Jin decided that his reason didn't make sense, so he had a drink.
Get drunk and get rid of a thousand sorrows!
Jin Roujia, who abruptly got the producer drunk and drank a lot, called her assistant to collect the body, but was harassed by the producer the next afternoon, saying that the box office of "Along with the Gods" was still rising.Jin Roujia wanted to give him a slap in the face, the film hasn't been offline yet, if it doesn't go up, can it go down? ? ?
When the producer regarded the project party who was obviously not hostile as a life-and-death enemy, Jin Roujia received an invitation from the 'enemy' for a celebration banquet. It must be a celebration banquet if it is over ten million.Jin Roujia wanted to go to this situation because of emotion and reason, and Cui Shangyu angrily accused her of "collaborating with the enemy" and was very upset.
"Why don't you say I'm a traitor?" Jin Roujia lowered her head and adjusted the cuffs of her shirt, ready to go out to 'cooperate with the enemy', and by the way asked the producer who came to the door again, "Calm down, just take care of our own affairs, just change your mind , as long as they help us clear the way, they have made a good start, and we can definitely look forward to it."
Cui Shangyu, unable to change his mind, picked up her windbreaker and put it on her arm, and stood outside the door waiting for her to change her shoes, "Of course we can do our own thing, we are twice as much as their distribution fee, but our The attention is not as high as them!"
Jin Roujia, who was leaning over to change shoes, asked him how he knew the other party's distribution fee, "You also inquired about the other party's distribution fee?"
"Then there is no need to inquire? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to ask?" Cui Shangyu, who wanted to save face, stretched out his hand to her when he saw her changing her shoes, "It was estimated based on the materials."
Jin Roujia, who put his hands up and got up, was amused. What he said was a simple estimate. There are so many promotional materials for a project. If it is really more troublesome to estimate than to ask for a number, "You have really done a good job recently. How do I think that? Your eyes are all on other people's projects?"
"Don't make trouble, I'm serious." Cui Shangyu shook off the windbreaker and let her wear it, "Our premiere must be bigger than theirs, use all your contacts, let's organize a grand event, from the momentum Squeeze them down!"
Jin Roujia, who was wearing clothes with her back turned to him, couldn't help but smile, her own producer was so naive recently, "Okay~ Listen to you, you give me the list and I'll call people one by one to make sure I have enough momentum, okay?"
"You said it~" Cui Shangyu poked his head from her shoulder, turned his head and gestured at her with his little finger, as if to pull the hook, but was slapped away by Jin Roujia, "Don't be stupid!"
Cui Shangyu, who is not stupid at all, listed the names of four A4 papers for Jin Roujia according to the participation list of "Along with the Gods" celebration banquet, and asked Jin Roujia to invite them all.Director Jin suspects that he is crazy. It's not that people can't be invited, but where can they come and sit?A screening room full of premieres?What about the reporter?What about the media?What about online media?What about lucky viewers?Don't want it?Then what is it called a premiere? Just call it a screening, okay?
Choi Sang-woo, who was accepting the production of a major project for the first time, ran forward in a frenzied way. He passed "Along with the Gods", which ended with the second highest box office in Korean film history, passed the New Year, and reached the opening Year, the beginning of the lunar calendar.
South Korea does not have the term Lunar New Year. To be precise, only big red countries have this special time. However, everyone agrees that holidays are more suitable for the start of entertainment projects. People can only go to the cinema if they have time, and they have to go to work so how can they have time to watch movies.
Therefore, "Crossing the Sea" is scheduled to be released during the New Year holiday.
The day before the premiere, Choi Sang-woo called and asked Kim Yoo-ja if he could go to her house, and he took the dress there and set off from her house tomorrow.Jin Roujia was not very happy, fearing that the producer would come over and go crazy again, but Cui Shangyu said miserable that he was so nervous that he had stomach cramps, so Jin Roujia let him in.
As soon as people come in, they chatter with her, especially split chatter.
The previous sentence is that we have pre-sold 370 million, which is a real result. I didn't pay any water. This result is very good.The last sentence is that actresses are not good. If this is the original male actor group, the pre-sale will be over 500 million, and this is only over 300 million. Actresses just can't beat the box office.
The last sentence is, "Along with the Gods" has a lot of special effects, so if you brag about a novel world view, you are not copying the next door, shameless!How can we be better than us, we also have more special effects, we are still original!The next sentence is, fantasy themes are really easy to sell. If I had known that we also engage in fantasy themes, any crime films would have been outdated long ago.
The producer who was holding the shochu bottle and blowing directly at the bottle was so nervous that he probably didn't know what he was talking about. Jin Roujia was so sleepy that she almost yawned, and that guy didn't stop.Not only did the producer not stop, Lee Dahee called her in the middle of the night, saying that she was a bit confused and wanted to talk to the director. It's good for people who are worried about the future to report to each other to keep warm, so don't destroy her.
The actress not only came by herself, but also called her companions, Park Bo Young was also brought, and the two still brought their own drinks to the door.Is it not surprising that Lee Da Hee is worried about Kim Yoo Jia, newcomer, Park Bo Young is also here, she is quite curious, she is also worried?
Of course Park Bo Young is worried, she is worried every time there is a new work.I worry about movies, TV dramas, and commercials, so how can I not worry about it!Every new work is a market test. If it succeeds, everything will be fine. If it fails, it will be black history, which may be with her for a lifetime. The feathers of public figures must be carefully maintained.
Jin Roujia really couldn't refute these words, worried that the trio found a teammate and excluded Jin Dao, who was out of place and only wanted to sleep, and pushing each other to exchange cups was called mourning, and Jin Roujia, who couldn't get up, was not allowed to go to sleep alone. Jin Roujia was speechless.
What's even more speechless is that the actresses have their own group. Park Bo Young posted photos of her, Lee Da Hee, and Choi Sang Woo drinking in the group with Director Kim, and Director Kim's small house welcomed more people one after another.
Except for Bae Doona, who will fly back tomorrow to attend the premiere, all the members of the starring team are here. The camera team, the art team, and the leaders of the writer team are also here.The living room is about to be crowded, people are still coming in, Jin Roujia is really helpless, she has no intention of having a party, and why can't you guys go out and find a place to drink?Her house is not a tavern!
Director Jin, who does not serve drinks, saw that every 'guest' who came to the door brought their own drinks and appetizers, and some ordered takeaways, completely giving up struggling.Make a fuss, do whatever you want, do whatever you want.
The party that started inexplicably ushered in the first "climax" when an actor chosen by tens of millions of people appeared on stage. When Ha Zhengyu entered the door, from the aisle to the living room to the restaurant, as long as the open space was full of people, as soon as he appeared on the stage , cheers, tens of millions of actors!
As far as their noise was concerned, Jin Roujia expected someone to report to the police as a nuisance, so that they could be 'drived away'.It's a pity that I don't know whether it's because the neighbors have a good temper or the sound insulation of the house is good. Anyway, the police that Director Jin was looking forward to didn't come, but the takeaway boys came a lot.
The open space is all occupied, Jin Roujia can only hide in the study, she can't go to the bedroom, she has locked the bedroom, and she can mess around in other places.What if she was found in the bedroom and those people occupied her bed?Although Jin Roujia is not the type of cleanliness, but if someone vomits on her bed, she will be very painful.
The study is relatively safe, even if someone finds it, it will be full of her various materials, such as scripts, books, video discs, CDs, etc., and it will be able to drive away drunks confidently.
As the owner of the house, she was also the center of attention. Of course someone was looking for Jin Roujia when she disappeared, and Jin Huixiu was there.This elder sister didn't drink alcohol, her face would swell when she drank, and it would be uncomfortable to use ice cubes. She was going to walk the red carpet tomorrow, so she didn't touch anything except water.
The one who knocked on the door was an actress who didn't drink alcohol. Director Jin opened the door to let people in and quickly closed and locked the door. This made Jin Huixiu laugh. After laughing, he praised Director Jin for his good temper, saying that such a thing happened to her , she has driven people away.
"Forget it." Jin Roujia, who is really good-tempered under certain circumstances, laughed and shook her head, "Cui Sangyu is really too nervous, let him relax."
After praising the director for her good temper, the next sentence is that the director is gentle. Jin Roujia can't take it anymore. From any angle, she can't give herself a gentle characteristic.Jin Roujia felt that there were a lot of actresses, and it was cruel enough to insist on not touching anything except water for a whole day.
The actress said that she is used to it, and she always does this when she needs to face the media, but she only insisted on it for one day because she is too old to struggle in recent years.If it was young, she would eat two apples a week and rely on water and various vitamins to continue her life.
Director Jin, who stretched out his hand to give his sister a thumbs up, expressed his admiration. My sister laughed wildly. She glanced at a movie disc from the corner of her eye. She thought she had read it wrong. She fixed her eyes and saw the title of the movie. She pointed at the old-fashioned plastic box in surprise. The boxed movie, and asked Jin Roujia if it was the movie she thought it was, a movie that was extremely bad, and a movie that was famous for being bad.
Nodding her head to show that she read it correctly, Jin Roujia casually explained why such a bad work appeared in her study room, it was used for pulling pictures and learning materials.
"Art works are not absolutely good or bad. It can only be said that some people can't appreciate them, and some people are not enough for the public. In the field where personal aesthetics occupies a very important criterion, there is no way to accurately judge which works are good. You have to understand What kind of work is bad, why it is bad, and how bad it is is helpful as a warning, maybe when it will be useful.”
"Look more at the works. The works of masters are very important, but the breadth of vision must also be expanded, otherwise it is easy to be superficial. Once a bad habit is formed, it is difficult to change. The number of readings must be large. The burst of inspiration comes from the usual accumulation."
Jin Huixiu was slightly taken aback, reached out to pull out the box, and looked at the director again, "Is this evidence of a genius working hard in private?"
"Genius..." Jin Roujia lowered her head and smiled, "That's the proof that everyone's success is not achieved in a day, just like my sister didn't touch anything today."
No one's success is achieved in a day. This is true for actors who don't touch anything the day before the red carpet. This is true for directors who think it is necessary to watch even a bad movie. This is true for those who are nervous the day before the premiere. Even more so with Crazy Producer.
Cui Shangyu, who was drunk at night and unknown to his personnel, got up and vomited like a ghost during the day, but after taking a shower, changing clothes and calling the stylist, he was a good dog again...a social elite.
The elite went out early to make sure that nothing would go wrong in today's premiere, and the elite was gone when Jin Roujia woke up.Not only did the elite leave by themselves, but they even had someone clean the house, not to mention that it was spotless, at least they couldn’t see how much trouble happened yesterday.That is to say, the carpet was gone, and it was dirty and hard to clean. However, the producer left a note to the owner, saying that it would be cleaned in two days and someone would deliver it to the door. The logistics were well done.
Cui Shangyu, who has done a very perfect logistics, stood in front of Jin Roujia again and couldn't tell that he went crazy all night yesterday. He is very professional. All arrangements for today's premiere.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, Jin Roujia, who had listened to the information on her head, looked up and down the producer of the suit and leather shoes, "Welcome back, Cui Shangyuxi."
"Go to the battlefield, Jin Roujia."
It is the first time for a director who focuses on literary and artistic films to enter the battlefield of commercial films. With a good score of [-] million on the day of the premiere, he announced Jin Roujia's strong attack, and also declared that commercial films dominated by women are definitely not unsalable, but depends on who makes them. Manifesto who sells.
The promotion of the new project is all concentrated in South Korea. Compared with the works that are released simultaneously all over the world, the promotion of "Cross the Sea" is not easy even if it is only concentrated in one country.Jinroujia is on standby 24 hours a day, interviewing, interviewing, interviewing, all kinds of interviews.Magazines, newspapers, TV media, new media, and various media that she had never heard of all appeared in front of her.
Today I am in Seoul, tomorrow I can be in Busan, the day after tomorrow I will go to Jeolla-do, and on the fourth day I may go back to Seoul for a meeting at a school like Ewha Womans University.Students have always been the main force at the box office, and word-of-mouth is mainly fermented by them. Several specialized film and television colleges are a must. Go to a girls' school like Ewha Women's University, which is aimed at movies with women as the core theme.
Before the launch of the project, Cui Shangyu, who was all kinds of nervous, returned to normal and played a professional role, and engaged in a lot of show operations on the release.First, the project was connected with feminism that has emerged in the past two years, and the film was promoted as a representative of the rise of women's self-awareness. The draft was published as if independent women would be sorry for their independence if they did not support the box office. What kind of charity do women do? The topic of donations to the fund became a hot topic.
Not only does the movie itself have topics, but the golden configuration of actors participating in the movie has more topics, whether it is Kim Hye-soo or Son Ye-jin, Bae Doona or Park Bo-young, which one is not a goddess.Up to [-] and down to [-], male audiences of all ages, you call Goddess Goddess all the time, and now you are going to contribute box office to Goddess, won’t you show up?Do you want face!
A week after its release, "Crossing the Sea" surpassed 900 million. It was basically a sure thing, but Cui Shangyu wanted to make the nail even harder, so he tricked Jin Roujia into making a box office contract with the actresses.
The so-called box office agreement is that the actors or the production team promise to do whatever they want when the box office hits. They can do whatever they want, but it is best to fulfill it once it is established, so you can’t talk nonsense.
Director Jin felt that the producer was superfluous, but the producer felt it was necessary.
"500 million, we set this number, after this number, you bring everyone together..."
"Stop." Jin Roujia asked the producer, who has been so high-spirited recently and has a bad brain, not to talk nonsense, "You'd better think it through before you talk."
Cui Shangyu thought clearly, "Why, you don't have the confidence to reach 500 million. We broke the record for the highest box office on the day of the premiere. Director Jin has no confidence in his own work?"
"Don't worry, the provocative method is useless to me." Jin Roujia sneered, she didn't fall for it, "It's only been a week to reach 900 million, and we have at least a 500% probability of breaking [-] million, but for the audience To us, this is a large number, so large that it seems impossible to realize it. If you want to use such a large number as a convention, you must make a big one. Just shut up."
Ha Zhengyu, who loves sports and likes 'long-distance trekking', once made a very powerful agreement. The agreement is that he will go on a long march around the entire country on foot, from the beginning to the end.Jin Roujia just heard that brother was ill, it was impossible for her to do such a stupid thing.
The producer didn't want to do such an exaggerated thing, what Cui Shangyu wanted was to make a pact to stir up another wave of topics, "I will make a pact on the official SNS, and when the time comes, the top three with the most likes...before Ten is fine, it’s impossible for the top ten to give you bad news, so we’ll just pick one from the top ten. At worst, let someone control it in private, and just choose one that you all want to make a pact with.”
Jin Roujia felt weird when she heard this, and suddenly remembered, "Are you trying to find a chance for me to go to a variety show?"
"Who said that?" Cui Shangyu denied it.
"No, I forgot." Jin Roujia asked him not to rush to refute, "Brother Zhengyu told me, but I forgot to tell you, I have no objection to going on variety shows, if you think it is necessary, go on it."
Cui Shangyu was very surprised, "Do you want to?"
"I didn't say I didn't want to, I was just too lazy to bother. If it's necessary to promote it, I'll go." Jin Roujia thought it was unnecessary, "We have so many actors, so they get more attention than me."
Of course, the producer knows that the stars in front of the stage will always pay more attention than those behind the scenes, just as no one will explore the film director except film critics and audiences who really love movies.Whether it's comments from netizens or audience ratings for the movie, [-]% of them still praise the actors. Even if they say how good the actor's clip is, the praise is still the actor, and the director is rarely brought along.
The producer who knows this clearly wants the director to appear on the variety show, "You can only let everyone participate if you go up."
Cui Shangyu pointed his fingers at Jin Roujia, "Bae Dou, our company can't force her to appear in variety shows, it's impossible. Jin Huixiu is similar, and Son Yejin is the same. They are very cautious about variety shows, and they all It’s a group of actresses who cherish their feathers. The company can’t use coercive methods, and it doesn’t make sense to just promote movies. None of them have promoted movies for themselves, and they haven’t run a few variety shows.”
"There is no way to force them, you need someone who takes the lead. You are the chief director, and you rarely appear in variety shows. You don't even have the opportunity for TV interviews. There are only interviews related to the work, and there are no personal ones. You have If you are willing to go, if you are willing to work harder for the promotion of the film, they will not refuse. Even if you don’t give us face, you have to give you some face, not to mention the people in the circle watching, the chief director is going all out, and the actors don’t cooperate?”
"Lee Da Hee, Park Bo Young and the like, even if they run all the variety shows, there is no Bae Doo that is sensational in variety shows, let alone the topic. If you participate, bring them all, Even if it was the last talk variety show, with the posture of this group of women, what are you worried about?"
"If a variety show is played well, the topicality that continues to spread is worth countless publicity." Cui Shangyu told the director the facts and reasoned, for fear that what she said would be nice to say, "This is very necessary for publicity. .”
The convinced director simply nodded, "Then you can arrange it."
The producer who applauded the director in seconds got up and was about to arrange the follow-up. Before going out, he suddenly remembered and asked Jin Roujia with a smile while holding the doorknob, "I am a good producer, right?"
The director who returned the applause to him nodded affirmatively.
“Excellent!”
Tired or not, as long as the effect can be produced, many people were invited to the internal preview of the project. This time the work will not participate in any foreign awards, and it will be shown in Korea.Since it is a movie aimed at making money at the box office, the publicity must be done well, and all the available internal test screenings have been found.There were so many reporters and film critics in the venue that they could hold a premiere on the spot, and everyone who came could get a small gift, just to let them praise when writing film reviews after they were short-handed.
If you ask Jin Roujia to say that this is not an internal trial screening at all, it is an on-demand screening, and the real so-called insiders have already seen it.What is going to be screened later is either a rough cut or a finished film. The reason for this release is that the producer is still not confident whether the project will really be successful. Even if Cui Shangyu fooled her and said that the film is very good, the producer himself still has no confidence Will need more market recognition.
There are quite a few people who are worried. For example, Li Cangdong is very worried. He is also someone who has seen the rough cut in advance.The teacher's evaluation of the student's new work is that it seems to be okay. If the commercial film is cool, it will be over.
The teacher is worried that the box office will pull the hips, but he still encourages most of the students. The movie is good, as long as the movie is good, don't worry about the box office.
For example, the participating actors and ladies all thought the film was good-looking, but they were afraid that it would be useless if they thought it was good-looking, and the audience would not buy it.It's not that there are commercial films in the market that people in the industry think are well-made, but they just can't be sold. The box office of movies is really metaphysics.Sometimes we can only resign ourselves to fate, but the ladies all told the director, I have confidence in you.
There is no way for Jin Roujia to make a [-]% guarantee that the box office will be able to do so, and she is not some celestial master who can open the altar to increase the box office.But she doesn't have many worries, she has confidence in her works, and the investment in the project has been evened out by 'advertising', and the subsequent box office will be icing on the cake, so she doesn't have many worries here, at least she doesn't have to worry about her own investment Nothing to lose.
However, everyone around her was worried, and Jin Roujia felt that it was not right for her to be too relaxed by herself, so she tried to match the atmosphere and entered the stage of false worry.Who would have imagined that her cooperation didn't make the producer, teacher, actor, etc. feel empathetic with her, on the contrary, she became more worried. What should the director do if he is worried?This is frustrating for Director Jin. I'm not worried that you will say that I have too much heart. I'm worried that you think the project is about to end?What a mess!
Or the executive director who has become more frequent in private contact after the re-cooperation, He Zhengyu said, you are the magic needle of Dinghai, everyone who comes to you wants to learn from your self-confidence, they complain about you, but you If it really collapses, no one else can hold on.
"Why didn't I know that I still have this role?" Jin Roujia suspected that the other party was talking nonsense.
He Zhengyu laughed, "Only you have unlimited confidence in your own works."
"Isn't that natural?" Jin Roujia asked him back, "Is there a time when you have no confidence in your own works?"
He Zhengyu didn't want to answer this question. He raised his glass and drank. He couldn't say that more than [-]% of the people in this circle had no confidence in his work, especially when he was facing the test of the market.So even if Jin Roujia's firm self-confidence seems blind, or else she is arrogant, but her confidence can give others confidence, especially for the team participating in the same project.
Speaking of the internal preview meeting, which was the same as the order screening, there was endless applause behind the movie when the subtitles were put on the curtain. Jin Roujia, who was sitting in the first row, was full of complacency. This is her work, and she deserved applause. There was no applause. It's all blind, she's just so 'arrogant'.But Cui Shangyu, who was sitting next to her, couldn't relax. He was still very worried, afraid that this was just applauding for the sake of face.
Cui Shangyu agrees that the film is very good, very good, it is definitely a qualified commercial film, and it is definitely cool enough, but he just has concerns. It is impossible for him to not have concerns about the genre that has never appeared in the market.This concern made him work very hard in publicity, not only encouraging the distribution team to spread movie posters all over the streets, but also trying to trick the director into taking the ladies to various variety show promotions.
Similar to 'Running Man', it is a metaphysics variety show in the film industry, and the movies that claim to have been on that variety show have a good box office.The producer tricked the director into going there to contribute to the box office, so wouldn't it be good to make more money with her investment?
Cui Shangyu wanted to fool Jin Roujia to participate in the variety show, but he was afraid of being blocked by Jin Roujia, so he wanted to push Ha Zhengyu to fight thunder.He Zhengyu felt that Jin Roujia was probably willing to go.
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Is it necessary to say something that you don't even believe?" Cui Shangyu took the mobile phone and asked the actor on the other end of the phone to just say no.
The actor really didn't mean not to agree, what he was thinking was, "Jin Rou Jia Bi imagined that she valued this project, and she will not reject the promotion of the film, as long as it is really necessary."
The producer didn't believe it. He still remembered Director Jin's reluctance to go to variety shows. The last time he coaxed her to go to the show was because Li Ruizhen was on the show. But since the actor said so, "Then you ask?"
He Zhengyu laughed, "Okay."
On December 2017, 12, Kim Yoo-ja participated in the premiere of "Along with the Gods" directed by Kim Yong-hwa as an invited guest. This film is also released by CJ. One of the leading actors is Ha Zhengyu, and Ju Ji-hoon is also one of the leading actors.When she came to walk the red carpet, she was asked by the reporter who invited her to participate, and the bachelor Jin said that it was invited by the producer.
Jin Roujia, who was invited by the producer, was dragged aside by Jin Ronghua to ask how much she spent on the release. Why do you feel that my promotion is not as wide as yours?
"We're not competitors. I'm short of time with you. I haven't shown you yet. Why bother with me?" Jin Roujia didn't give the real number, but said, "Your one is released by CJ, mine is Production plus distribution, isn’t it reasonable to spend a lot of money on my side?”
In principle, it is correct to say so, but in his heart, Jin Ronghua said that the little girl was not telling the truth, "I just ask, I have a premiere today, and you also said that we are not competitors, ask what's wrong."
"You still don't ask."
"what?"
"I'm afraid you're jealous."
The junior was slapped on the arm by the senior after he finished speaking, and Jin Roujia smiled and pulled him back into the crowd. The two of them are really not competitors and there is nothing to test each other, even if they are competitors, there is no need for that.Not long after entering the crowd, Director Jin was blocked by the leading actor who had worked with him, who came up to have an awkward chat with her, and Jin Roujia was at a loss, saying how are you doing recently, what else can you do?
Jin Roujia, who didn't want to talk, looked around the crowd to find someone, quickly found He Zhengyu's position, and raised her hand to call him.He Zhengyu, who was summoned, came over and guessed what was going on at a glance. He hooked Dao Jin's shoulder and told his younger brother that they had something to talk about alone to rescue Dao Jin.
Jin Roujia, who turned her back on the former leading actor and went elsewhere, approached the rescuer and asked him if he knew what happened to Zhu Zhixun's nerves. Ha Zhengyu's answer was, the premiere, nervous.Jin Roujia felt that this answer was not right, and she was about to ask, when Ha Zhengyu told her that Cui Sangyu wanted her to take the actresses to run variety shows for publicity.
Jin Roujia stood still, a little surprised, "I'm going to run a variety show? Shouldn't artists run?"
"We didn't have a deep chat, and I don't know what his plan is, but it should be that artists run away and you run away too. They appear in variety shows more, so you participate in interviews more?" Ha Zhengyu is not sure about Cui Sangyu's plan, but Well, "It's more publicity for the director to go to variety shows, and the gimmick of your going abroad is even bigger."
Jin Roujia, who felt a little reasonable, hesitated for half a second, "Is this necessary?"
"You have to talk to Cui Shangyu about this." Ha Zhengyu couldn't give an accurate answer, "He just asked me to ask if you would like it, maybe you can arrange it if you want to, and he can't do anything if you don't want to."
In this way, Jin Roujia understood, "He thinks I don't want to?" Kanhe Zhengyu nodded with a smile, and also smiled, "That guy is really nervous, so he thinks I'm someone who doesn't want to cooperate with the propaganda."
"That's what I said too." He Zhengyu said that he guessed right, and the girl's cooperation has always been very high.
As long as it is necessary to publicize, Director Jin's cooperation has always been high. Just look at her willingness to stand up and confront religious people. It is no more dangerous than being on a variety show.At that time, Cui Shangyu, who was in charge of publishing, said that he could play a big game, and Jin Roujia directly stood up, and she was not afraid of fighting or going on variety shows.
Jin Roujia never rejects using any means to promote her works, she just needs to determine whether it is necessary to do so.
The premiere of "Along with the Gods" also ended with a round of applause. Jin Roujia was dragged by Jin Ronghua to attend their dinner together. At the wine table, the seniors and juniors vomited bitterness. , After that, the distributor also deducted it. Anyway, there is no good person in the film company.In this regard, Jin Roujia can only be a chat companion. She also has similar experiences, but none of them happened in the game.
After attending the premiere, Jin Roujia did not pay attention to this project. Cui Shangyu was very concerned. This brother was really nervous. He was so nervous that he called Jin Roujia every day to report the box office results of "Along with the Gods".When the box office of that film exceeded [-] million, Cui Shangyu went crazy, rushed to Director Jin's house in the middle of the night, smashed the door, and jumped around in the house.
The reason why the producer is so crazy is because there is a legend in the circle, similar to that if the box office of the previous work explodes, the box office of the works that will be launched in a short period of time will not be able to do so, and some luck will be sucked away.Like the Legend of the Midnight Hungry Wolf, it is unreliable when you hear it, but the crazy producer just believes it.
The producer not only believed but also tried to use science to prove the authenticity of this legend. He took out the recent attention data curve of "Crossing the Sea" and showed it to Jin Roujia as evidence.Since "Along with the Gods" was launched, the attention of their project has dropped sharply. Netizens are all discussing "Along with the Gods". No one watches them anymore, they are going to die!Completely fucked!
Not to mention, the graph did slide from the peak to the valley, and dropped a lot. It seemed quite bluffing, but Jin Roujia still felt that the producer was crazy.
A movie that is currently being screened is still a movie with a good box office and word-of-mouth. Of course, the discussion among netizens is high, and it is not normal if it is not high.The other project only has a trailer and has not yet launched. No matter how widely the publicity is done, the popularity of a blockbuster work will decline, but they are not competitors at the same level. How can there be such a comparison.
The producer doesn't care, the producer will compare it like this, Cui Shangyu is like a cat with its tail burnt, jumping around in the living room, making Jin Roujia dizzy.
The director tried to comfort the other party with rationality, the legend is the legend, don't believe the midnight legend, it's all about science in the 21st century.The producer who talked about science threw the graph on her knee, and the 'attacked' director Jin decided that his reason didn't make sense, so he had a drink.
Get drunk and get rid of a thousand sorrows!
Jin Roujia, who abruptly got the producer drunk and drank a lot, called her assistant to collect the body, but was harassed by the producer the next afternoon, saying that the box office of "Along with the Gods" was still rising.Jin Roujia wanted to give him a slap in the face, the film hasn't been offline yet, if it doesn't go up, can it go down? ? ?
When the producer regarded the project party who was obviously not hostile as a life-and-death enemy, Jin Roujia received an invitation from the 'enemy' for a celebration banquet. It must be a celebration banquet if it is over ten million.Jin Roujia wanted to go to this situation because of emotion and reason, and Cui Shangyu angrily accused her of "collaborating with the enemy" and was very upset.
"Why don't you say I'm a traitor?" Jin Roujia lowered her head and adjusted the cuffs of her shirt, ready to go out to 'cooperate with the enemy', and by the way asked the producer who came to the door again, "Calm down, just take care of our own affairs, just change your mind , as long as they help us clear the way, they have made a good start, and we can definitely look forward to it."
Cui Shangyu, unable to change his mind, picked up her windbreaker and put it on her arm, and stood outside the door waiting for her to change her shoes, "Of course we can do our own thing, we are twice as much as their distribution fee, but our The attention is not as high as them!"
Jin Roujia, who was leaning over to change shoes, asked him how he knew the other party's distribution fee, "You also inquired about the other party's distribution fee?"
"Then there is no need to inquire? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to ask?" Cui Shangyu, who wanted to save face, stretched out his hand to her when he saw her changing her shoes, "It was estimated based on the materials."
Jin Roujia, who put his hands up and got up, was amused. What he said was a simple estimate. There are so many promotional materials for a project. If it is really more troublesome to estimate than to ask for a number, "You have really done a good job recently. How do I think that? Your eyes are all on other people's projects?"
"Don't make trouble, I'm serious." Cui Shangyu shook off the windbreaker and let her wear it, "Our premiere must be bigger than theirs, use all your contacts, let's organize a grand event, from the momentum Squeeze them down!"
Jin Roujia, who was wearing clothes with her back turned to him, couldn't help but smile, her own producer was so naive recently, "Okay~ Listen to you, you give me the list and I'll call people one by one to make sure I have enough momentum, okay?"
"You said it~" Cui Shangyu poked his head from her shoulder, turned his head and gestured at her with his little finger, as if to pull the hook, but was slapped away by Jin Roujia, "Don't be stupid!"
Cui Shangyu, who is not stupid at all, listed the names of four A4 papers for Jin Roujia according to the participation list of "Along with the Gods" celebration banquet, and asked Jin Roujia to invite them all.Director Jin suspects that he is crazy. It's not that people can't be invited, but where can they come and sit?A screening room full of premieres?What about the reporter?What about the media?What about online media?What about lucky viewers?Don't want it?Then what is it called a premiere? Just call it a screening, okay?
Choi Sang-woo, who was accepting the production of a major project for the first time, ran forward in a frenzied way. He passed "Along with the Gods", which ended with the second highest box office in Korean film history, passed the New Year, and reached the opening Year, the beginning of the lunar calendar.
South Korea does not have the term Lunar New Year. To be precise, only big red countries have this special time. However, everyone agrees that holidays are more suitable for the start of entertainment projects. People can only go to the cinema if they have time, and they have to go to work so how can they have time to watch movies.
Therefore, "Crossing the Sea" is scheduled to be released during the New Year holiday.
The day before the premiere, Choi Sang-woo called and asked Kim Yoo-ja if he could go to her house, and he took the dress there and set off from her house tomorrow.Jin Roujia was not very happy, fearing that the producer would come over and go crazy again, but Cui Shangyu said miserable that he was so nervous that he had stomach cramps, so Jin Roujia let him in.
As soon as people come in, they chatter with her, especially split chatter.
The previous sentence is that we have pre-sold 370 million, which is a real result. I didn't pay any water. This result is very good.The last sentence is that actresses are not good. If this is the original male actor group, the pre-sale will be over 500 million, and this is only over 300 million. Actresses just can't beat the box office.
The last sentence is, "Along with the Gods" has a lot of special effects, so if you brag about a novel world view, you are not copying the next door, shameless!How can we be better than us, we also have more special effects, we are still original!The next sentence is, fantasy themes are really easy to sell. If I had known that we also engage in fantasy themes, any crime films would have been outdated long ago.
The producer who was holding the shochu bottle and blowing directly at the bottle was so nervous that he probably didn't know what he was talking about. Jin Roujia was so sleepy that she almost yawned, and that guy didn't stop.Not only did the producer not stop, Lee Dahee called her in the middle of the night, saying that she was a bit confused and wanted to talk to the director. It's good for people who are worried about the future to report to each other to keep warm, so don't destroy her.
The actress not only came by herself, but also called her companions, Park Bo Young was also brought, and the two still brought their own drinks to the door.Is it not surprising that Lee Da Hee is worried about Kim Yoo Jia, newcomer, Park Bo Young is also here, she is quite curious, she is also worried?
Of course Park Bo Young is worried, she is worried every time there is a new work.I worry about movies, TV dramas, and commercials, so how can I not worry about it!Every new work is a market test. If it succeeds, everything will be fine. If it fails, it will be black history, which may be with her for a lifetime. The feathers of public figures must be carefully maintained.
Jin Roujia really couldn't refute these words, worried that the trio found a teammate and excluded Jin Dao, who was out of place and only wanted to sleep, and pushing each other to exchange cups was called mourning, and Jin Roujia, who couldn't get up, was not allowed to go to sleep alone. Jin Roujia was speechless.
What's even more speechless is that the actresses have their own group. Park Bo Young posted photos of her, Lee Da Hee, and Choi Sang Woo drinking in the group with Director Kim, and Director Kim's small house welcomed more people one after another.
Except for Bae Doona, who will fly back tomorrow to attend the premiere, all the members of the starring team are here. The camera team, the art team, and the leaders of the writer team are also here.The living room is about to be crowded, people are still coming in, Jin Roujia is really helpless, she has no intention of having a party, and why can't you guys go out and find a place to drink?Her house is not a tavern!
Director Jin, who does not serve drinks, saw that every 'guest' who came to the door brought their own drinks and appetizers, and some ordered takeaways, completely giving up struggling.Make a fuss, do whatever you want, do whatever you want.
The party that started inexplicably ushered in the first "climax" when an actor chosen by tens of millions of people appeared on stage. When Ha Zhengyu entered the door, from the aisle to the living room to the restaurant, as long as the open space was full of people, as soon as he appeared on the stage , cheers, tens of millions of actors!
As far as their noise was concerned, Jin Roujia expected someone to report to the police as a nuisance, so that they could be 'drived away'.It's a pity that I don't know whether it's because the neighbors have a good temper or the sound insulation of the house is good. Anyway, the police that Director Jin was looking forward to didn't come, but the takeaway boys came a lot.
The open space is all occupied, Jin Roujia can only hide in the study, she can't go to the bedroom, she has locked the bedroom, and she can mess around in other places.What if she was found in the bedroom and those people occupied her bed?Although Jin Roujia is not the type of cleanliness, but if someone vomits on her bed, she will be very painful.
The study is relatively safe, even if someone finds it, it will be full of her various materials, such as scripts, books, video discs, CDs, etc., and it will be able to drive away drunks confidently.
As the owner of the house, she was also the center of attention. Of course someone was looking for Jin Roujia when she disappeared, and Jin Huixiu was there.This elder sister didn't drink alcohol, her face would swell when she drank, and it would be uncomfortable to use ice cubes. She was going to walk the red carpet tomorrow, so she didn't touch anything except water.
The one who knocked on the door was an actress who didn't drink alcohol. Director Jin opened the door to let people in and quickly closed and locked the door. This made Jin Huixiu laugh. After laughing, he praised Director Jin for his good temper, saying that such a thing happened to her , she has driven people away.
"Forget it." Jin Roujia, who is really good-tempered under certain circumstances, laughed and shook her head, "Cui Sangyu is really too nervous, let him relax."
After praising the director for her good temper, the next sentence is that the director is gentle. Jin Roujia can't take it anymore. From any angle, she can't give herself a gentle characteristic.Jin Roujia felt that there were a lot of actresses, and it was cruel enough to insist on not touching anything except water for a whole day.
The actress said that she is used to it, and she always does this when she needs to face the media, but she only insisted on it for one day because she is too old to struggle in recent years.If it was young, she would eat two apples a week and rely on water and various vitamins to continue her life.
Director Jin, who stretched out his hand to give his sister a thumbs up, expressed his admiration. My sister laughed wildly. She glanced at a movie disc from the corner of her eye. She thought she had read it wrong. She fixed her eyes and saw the title of the movie. She pointed at the old-fashioned plastic box in surprise. The boxed movie, and asked Jin Roujia if it was the movie she thought it was, a movie that was extremely bad, and a movie that was famous for being bad.
Nodding her head to show that she read it correctly, Jin Roujia casually explained why such a bad work appeared in her study room, it was used for pulling pictures and learning materials.
"Art works are not absolutely good or bad. It can only be said that some people can't appreciate them, and some people are not enough for the public. In the field where personal aesthetics occupies a very important criterion, there is no way to accurately judge which works are good. You have to understand What kind of work is bad, why it is bad, and how bad it is is helpful as a warning, maybe when it will be useful.”
"Look more at the works. The works of masters are very important, but the breadth of vision must also be expanded, otherwise it is easy to be superficial. Once a bad habit is formed, it is difficult to change. The number of readings must be large. The burst of inspiration comes from the usual accumulation."
Jin Huixiu was slightly taken aback, reached out to pull out the box, and looked at the director again, "Is this evidence of a genius working hard in private?"
"Genius..." Jin Roujia lowered her head and smiled, "That's the proof that everyone's success is not achieved in a day, just like my sister didn't touch anything today."
No one's success is achieved in a day. This is true for actors who don't touch anything the day before the red carpet. This is true for directors who think it is necessary to watch even a bad movie. This is true for those who are nervous the day before the premiere. Even more so with Crazy Producer.
Cui Shangyu, who was drunk at night and unknown to his personnel, got up and vomited like a ghost during the day, but after taking a shower, changing clothes and calling the stylist, he was a good dog again...a social elite.
The elite went out early to make sure that nothing would go wrong in today's premiere, and the elite was gone when Jin Roujia woke up.Not only did the elite leave by themselves, but they even had someone clean the house, not to mention that it was spotless, at least they couldn’t see how much trouble happened yesterday.That is to say, the carpet was gone, and it was dirty and hard to clean. However, the producer left a note to the owner, saying that it would be cleaned in two days and someone would deliver it to the door. The logistics were well done.
Cui Shangyu, who has done a very perfect logistics, stood in front of Jin Roujia again and couldn't tell that he went crazy all night yesterday. He is very professional. All arrangements for today's premiere.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, Jin Roujia, who had listened to the information on her head, looked up and down the producer of the suit and leather shoes, "Welcome back, Cui Shangyuxi."
"Go to the battlefield, Jin Roujia."
It is the first time for a director who focuses on literary and artistic films to enter the battlefield of commercial films. With a good score of [-] million on the day of the premiere, he announced Jin Roujia's strong attack, and also declared that commercial films dominated by women are definitely not unsalable, but depends on who makes them. Manifesto who sells.
The promotion of the new project is all concentrated in South Korea. Compared with the works that are released simultaneously all over the world, the promotion of "Cross the Sea" is not easy even if it is only concentrated in one country.Jinroujia is on standby 24 hours a day, interviewing, interviewing, interviewing, all kinds of interviews.Magazines, newspapers, TV media, new media, and various media that she had never heard of all appeared in front of her.
Today I am in Seoul, tomorrow I can be in Busan, the day after tomorrow I will go to Jeolla-do, and on the fourth day I may go back to Seoul for a meeting at a school like Ewha Womans University.Students have always been the main force at the box office, and word-of-mouth is mainly fermented by them. Several specialized film and television colleges are a must. Go to a girls' school like Ewha Women's University, which is aimed at movies with women as the core theme.
Before the launch of the project, Cui Shangyu, who was all kinds of nervous, returned to normal and played a professional role, and engaged in a lot of show operations on the release.First, the project was connected with feminism that has emerged in the past two years, and the film was promoted as a representative of the rise of women's self-awareness. The draft was published as if independent women would be sorry for their independence if they did not support the box office. What kind of charity do women do? The topic of donations to the fund became a hot topic.
Not only does the movie itself have topics, but the golden configuration of actors participating in the movie has more topics, whether it is Kim Hye-soo or Son Ye-jin, Bae Doona or Park Bo-young, which one is not a goddess.Up to [-] and down to [-], male audiences of all ages, you call Goddess Goddess all the time, and now you are going to contribute box office to Goddess, won’t you show up?Do you want face!
A week after its release, "Crossing the Sea" surpassed 900 million. It was basically a sure thing, but Cui Shangyu wanted to make the nail even harder, so he tricked Jin Roujia into making a box office contract with the actresses.
The so-called box office agreement is that the actors or the production team promise to do whatever they want when the box office hits. They can do whatever they want, but it is best to fulfill it once it is established, so you can’t talk nonsense.
Director Jin felt that the producer was superfluous, but the producer felt it was necessary.
"500 million, we set this number, after this number, you bring everyone together..."
"Stop." Jin Roujia asked the producer, who has been so high-spirited recently and has a bad brain, not to talk nonsense, "You'd better think it through before you talk."
Cui Shangyu thought clearly, "Why, you don't have the confidence to reach 500 million. We broke the record for the highest box office on the day of the premiere. Director Jin has no confidence in his own work?"
"Don't worry, the provocative method is useless to me." Jin Roujia sneered, she didn't fall for it, "It's only been a week to reach 900 million, and we have at least a 500% probability of breaking [-] million, but for the audience To us, this is a large number, so large that it seems impossible to realize it. If you want to use such a large number as a convention, you must make a big one. Just shut up."
Ha Zhengyu, who loves sports and likes 'long-distance trekking', once made a very powerful agreement. The agreement is that he will go on a long march around the entire country on foot, from the beginning to the end.Jin Roujia just heard that brother was ill, it was impossible for her to do such a stupid thing.
The producer didn't want to do such an exaggerated thing, what Cui Shangyu wanted was to make a pact to stir up another wave of topics, "I will make a pact on the official SNS, and when the time comes, the top three with the most likes...before Ten is fine, it’s impossible for the top ten to give you bad news, so we’ll just pick one from the top ten. At worst, let someone control it in private, and just choose one that you all want to make a pact with.”
Jin Roujia felt weird when she heard this, and suddenly remembered, "Are you trying to find a chance for me to go to a variety show?"
"Who said that?" Cui Shangyu denied it.
"No, I forgot." Jin Roujia asked him not to rush to refute, "Brother Zhengyu told me, but I forgot to tell you, I have no objection to going on variety shows, if you think it is necessary, go on it."
Cui Shangyu was very surprised, "Do you want to?"
"I didn't say I didn't want to, I was just too lazy to bother. If it's necessary to promote it, I'll go." Jin Roujia thought it was unnecessary, "We have so many actors, so they get more attention than me."
Of course, the producer knows that the stars in front of the stage will always pay more attention than those behind the scenes, just as no one will explore the film director except film critics and audiences who really love movies.Whether it's comments from netizens or audience ratings for the movie, [-]% of them still praise the actors. Even if they say how good the actor's clip is, the praise is still the actor, and the director is rarely brought along.
The producer who knows this clearly wants the director to appear on the variety show, "You can only let everyone participate if you go up."
Cui Shangyu pointed his fingers at Jin Roujia, "Bae Dou, our company can't force her to appear in variety shows, it's impossible. Jin Huixiu is similar, and Son Yejin is the same. They are very cautious about variety shows, and they all It’s a group of actresses who cherish their feathers. The company can’t use coercive methods, and it doesn’t make sense to just promote movies. None of them have promoted movies for themselves, and they haven’t run a few variety shows.”
"There is no way to force them, you need someone who takes the lead. You are the chief director, and you rarely appear in variety shows. You don't even have the opportunity for TV interviews. There are only interviews related to the work, and there are no personal ones. You have If you are willing to go, if you are willing to work harder for the promotion of the film, they will not refuse. Even if you don’t give us face, you have to give you some face, not to mention the people in the circle watching, the chief director is going all out, and the actors don’t cooperate?”
"Lee Da Hee, Park Bo Young and the like, even if they run all the variety shows, there is no Bae Doo that is sensational in variety shows, let alone the topic. If you participate, bring them all, Even if it was the last talk variety show, with the posture of this group of women, what are you worried about?"
"If a variety show is played well, the topicality that continues to spread is worth countless publicity." Cui Shangyu told the director the facts and reasoned, for fear that what she said would be nice to say, "This is very necessary for publicity. .”
The convinced director simply nodded, "Then you can arrange it."
The producer who applauded the director in seconds got up and was about to arrange the follow-up. Before going out, he suddenly remembered and asked Jin Roujia with a smile while holding the doorknob, "I am a good producer, right?"
The director who returned the applause to him nodded affirmatively.
“Excellent!”
