Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

After the birthday party is over, Yang Li will start working on "Civil Servants" and "Seven People Tell Ghosts".

Zheng Wushu continued to fly again in the afternoon of the second day, and Yang Li couldn't go to see him off because his popularity was getting higher and higher.

Regarding this, Yang Li was still a little depressed.

Red, you have to pay attention to many things.

Not only for Yang Li himself, but also for Zheng Wushu.

Zheng Wushu's coming to his birthday party has already caused many people to secretly speculate.

Hey.

Yang Li had to face up to the fact that there was still a big gap between himself and Teacher Zheng.

He may not even be able to win the traffic niche in the same period, let alone compared with Mr. Zheng?

Anyway, I have to help Mr. Zheng make money first, and become a cash cow in the studio.In this case, if Mr. Zheng really rejects him, at least he won't be driven away as a cash cow.

Don't rush, don't rush.

Besides, Yang Li subconsciously felt that Mr. Zheng must also have a good impression of him.

After all, there are really not many people who can make Zheng Wushu come back to attend the birthday party.

Friendship or something, if you work hard, it can easily evolve into love!

Yang Li is full of confidence now.

Zhou Cheng was noncommittal about this, anyway, he felt that these two people were pretending to be blind, something that anyone with a discerning eye could understand, but these two guys also pasted a layer of window paper on each of them, as if they were afraid that others would know.

That's it.

It would be better if Yang Li concentrated on his work.

Otherwise, if we really fall in love at that time, we may have to take half a year off after working for half a year.At that time, Zheng Wushu doesn't mind being his own boss, so what else can others say?

It's better to take advantage of the present and work hard on your career. If you really take a break then, at least you will have money to eat!

The agent who brought such a young actor like him has already started to think about how to make money, and it is really too unmotivated to say it out.

Zhou Cheng sighed heavily.

It seems that if I sign another artist in the future, I still want to sign the one who has been in love.This way, you won't lose your mind just by looking at someone.

Hey.

Each has its own troubles.

Zhou Cheng patted his head, and decided not to think about these things, but to discuss work matters first.

The publisher and post-marketing party of "Seven People Tell Ghosts" have all been finalized, and the tentative release time is National Day.

"Isn't it hard to snag a schedule like National Day?" Yang Li was a little surprised when he found out about this, "The film has so much money to grab the National Day slot?"

"You won't be able to grab the daytime slot." Zhou Cheng shrugged. "For domestic ghost movies, it must be the midnight slot."

There are not many people in the midnight stall, not to mention the National Day, even the Spring Festival can grab a slot.

No matter what time of day you go to the cinema, you can always find a few domestic ghost movies at midnight.

Of course, there are no requirements for quality, it is purely to pass the time, and the current popularity basically has nothing left.Therefore, it is particularly easy to grab the schedule. Basically, the movie theater agreed to it without watching it.

"What about filming?"

"Of course the film schedule is not high." Zhou Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are the biggest star in this film, and none of the directors and screenwriters can do it. Even if the production company is okay, but the film and television company produces too many works in a year. Yes, there are also a lot of them that can’t be sold. It’s normal if the lineup is low, and I’ll doubt it if it’s high. But it doesn’t matter, we rely on word of mouth, don’t worry, maybe we are a hit.”

"Seven People Talking About Ghosts" is good for the trailer and publicity, but it's not online at all now, and it's unrealistic to expect more film schedules. It's better to wait until it's released and work hard.After all, their films are really good, and the audience should have not watched domestic horror films for a long time.

After being told by Zhou Cheng, Yang Li felt that it was not bad.

Explosion -

Yang Li couldn't help looking forward to it.

It's good to scare everyone.

In comparison, "Civil Servant" is much more satisfactory.

Since the last talk with the director, all the actors have been found.As for other preparations, it's not bad after such a long delay.After confirming that there was no problem, Yang Li went to the crew to sign the contract.

It was confirmed that Yang Li would come to the crew to act on time, and the director also breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, at least they don't have to worry about the leading actor.

With Yang Li around, whether they are attracting investment or posting publicity, at least there is a selling point here.If it's true that all members are transparent, their drama may really depend on luck.

When the crew of "Civil Servant" made the official announcement, Zhou Cheng was undoubtedly hung up by the mud gang again.

What the hell is going on with this broken manager, is he just trying to get along with Yang Li or something?

They were already very angry when Yang Li was filming "Seven People Tell Ghosts".But because Yang Li wasn't top traffic at that time, and the administrators kindly persuaded them to delete them, they stabilized their emotions.

Later, seeing Yang Li appearing on "Special China", on the cover of magazines, and went to several red carpets, the fans almost forgot about it.

But they all knew that Yang Li didn't have any stock in stock recently, and there was still plenty of time. In addition, Yang Li had just celebrated his birthday, so they didn't have any objections if they wanted to take a rest.

but!

They painted countless cakes for Yang Li, and saw that many people in the industry praised Yang Li.And recently, several big IPs have announced that they will be filmed. They are looking forward to the hero's costume, looking forward to him being the hero!

As a result, a "civil servant" with nothing appeared.

As for the director, producer, and screenwriter, there was no such person.

Does the manager want to praise Yang Li or destroy him?

The fans were undoubtedly really blown up. No matter how much the administrators tried to appease them, they couldn't help it, so they had to turn their attention to Zhou Cheng again for help.

Zhou Cheng was also very helpless.

Those big IPs have been looking for many books from Yang Li, but basically they can't read the scripts.What's more, the investor and producer are desperately stuffing people into these IPs, several of them have bad records.For example, the role of the heroine is given to the second female lead, and the male and female partners each have their own memories and emotional lines, etc.

Just horrible!

From Zhou Cheng's point of view, these dramas are definitely going to hit the street, and if they are picked up, Yang Li will have to rely on Yang Li to milk these related households.Only a fool can do this kind of thing!

But, Zhou Cheng can't say such things to the administrator. If the IP drama becomes popular after saying it, wouldn't he be talking about it himself?And it's easy to offend people.

There was no other way, Zhou Cheng could only use his old excuses.

This drama was picked up together with "You Long Mentioning the Criminal" at the beginning. They waited for Yang Li for a year and waited, but they just started it now.

Yang Li also took the initiative to explain that the show was signed early, and he was signed before he was popular, and he couldn't live up to the crew's intentions, etc., so he put money on the crew's face.He also said that Zhou Cheng and him have been friends for many years, and we all came together through thick and thin.

But how much the fans believe is up to the fans.

Yang Li finally started to worry about the fans.

The number of people is too large, and there are many illegitimate fans, and there are still many who do not listen to persuasion.

What he can do is to restrain the fans in the official group.

resignedly.

In order to look good, Zhou Cheng had to ask someone to post a bunch of drafts, such as "Yang Li has the spirit of contract, and the price of the drama will not change after he becomes popular." "Is this the next "You Long Ti?" "Punisher" and the like.

But this time, the fans' Weibo about Zhou Cheng was not deleted, and Zhou Cheng didn't bother to care about it.

Anyway, "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" will carry out the first wave of face-slapping at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but already started to look forward to "Seven People Talking About Ghosts".

The crew of "Civil Servant" are already looking forward to it.

Especially the actors recruited by the director, the vast majority of them are not that good-looking, they are only better-looking than ordinary people, and there is probably nothing special about them after being on camera.After all, they have not been styled by a professional team, and they are left behind by the contracted company. Undoubtedly, the conditions in all aspects are relatively average.

However, they at least have basic acting skills, and the price is cheap and there is plenty of time. Most importantly, their mentality of not being able to find a job to take the civil service exam completely coincides with the roles in this drama.

In this way, as long as there is a bit of true character and a little bit of acting skills, the effect will be very good.

Originally, with the theme of "Civil Servant", the crew never thought of making it into a so-called "professional drama" with a monthly salary of [-] but a million-dollar watch. Instead, they tried to restore the real civil servant preparation for the exam. Life.

Their photogenic and ordinary appearance is just right.In this way, they don't have to keep thinking about how to pose to look good, they only need to worry about whether their acting skills are good or not.

Even Yang Li, after filming in the crew, must have more black fans.His skin is too white now, and his painting style is not suitable.

But compared to the twists and turns in the director's heart, the actors are much simpler.

They want to film with Yang Li!

And they are not playing ordinary people, they are really important roles!

A few days ago, they had almost given up on being an actor, but they didn't expect that they could turn around and participate in the filming with another attitude.

If they are just freshmen who have just entered school and are still full of unrealistic fantasies about the future and themselves, they might still think that Yang Li is nothing special.But their lives after graduation undoubtedly made them understand how difficult it is to do well in the music industry.

In this line of work, there is really a big difference.

It is a starting point even at the time of enrollment, but once signed, it is a completely different world from those who have not been signed.

There are so many people who enter the top performances and can't find a job after graduation.

When Yang Li got off the birthday gift car that Zheng Wushu bought, he immediately saw the sparkling eyes of many actors.

What... what's going on?

Yang Li felt a little confused, why did they look at him so strangely?

"Director, it's fine for me to come by myself. Why do you need someone to wait for me?" Seeing such a group of people, Yang Li felt extremely awkward.

He doesn't have so many big names to play.

"It's okay, it's okay, I only waited for less than 5 minutes anyway, and you came quite on time." The director's attitude can be called amiable.

"It should." Yang Li smiled awkwardly but politely.I wondered if the director was frightened when Brother Zhou came last time, and since he doesn't know how to eat people, the director praised him too much.

No, let’s explain it to the director later.

Yang Li played the role of Jiang Luo, the branch principal of a civil servant remedial class in "Civil Servant".

As the youngest principal of the branch school, he was sent by the headquarters to this newly opened branch school, and the responsibility on his body was undoubtedly very serious.

Moreover, there were already several small-scale training courses in this place, but they had been in operation for a long time.In order to reopen the market, apart from the problem of the source of students, the choice of teachers is also very sure.

There are only so many good teachers in a tutoring institution, and all branch schools are scrambling for them. Even if the teachers travel every day to give lectures, there are always things that they can't take care of.What's more, Jiang Luo, played by Yang Li, is young and doesn't look like a serious principal.

Of course, the subject matter of "Civil Servant" has the original reality and seriousness, so in terms of character design, it naturally needs to be slightly exaggerated.

Jiang Luo, as the leading actor, naturally needs some dramatic treatment to see the various poses of these public candidates from his perspective.

For example, Jiang Luo's financial background, the reasons for becoming a tutor, and so on.

It's almost the essence of laughter and tears.

In terms of venue selection, although they are in a famous film and television city, they also went to many training institutions to collect materials in the early stage, trying to restore the situation of the training class as realistically as possible.

For example, those study desks and chairs, the scene of the student dormitory, and the teacher's memoir during class, try to restore it as authentically as possible, and then I can pass several drafts.

Anyway, these daily necessities don't need to be prepared by prop masters, just buy them.

Yang Li went to the shooting location and wandered around, and was so moved that he almost cried.

He remembered his college life!

If he hadn't entered the entertainment circle, he would probably live in this kind of place and live a life like this.

Sure enough, being an actor is very interesting. You can get in touch with various professions, and you can also play different roles and experience different lives.

As for what the director said about being a black fan, Yang Li said that it doesn't matter at all. After all, when he was filming those garbage online dramas, he also played ugly men and so on.

You've played female ghosts before, so what else are you afraid of?

--------------

Once the release time of "Seven People Tell Ghosts" is confirmed, the official Weibo will definitely release a trailer.

Of course, a 1-minute trailer is also required, and some specific actors' names and posters need to be added.

At the beginning, because it was terribly torn by fans, and the crew kept a low profile, they hardly posted on Weibo in the follow-up.

But now, it's about to go online, so it's natural to be diligent in promoting it.Those posters that were originally designed must also be released.

Well, in order to increase the sense of horror, they specially invited the poster artist of the hit Japanese horror movie to do promotion.

There are also sound effects, concept design and so on in the later stage, all of which are real money.

The actors basically didn't get much money, but all the funds were used for other things.Although the investment is not too high, the answer sheet that can be produced can definitely exceed those movies that are several times higher!

Therefore, they picked a Saturday and uploaded the film they had prepared, and the actors forwarded it one after another.

Yang Li's fans also followed suit.

Anyway, no matter how the quality is, let's talk about it first.

"Huh? The cuts this time seem to be different from the previous domestic horror movies. They didn't include much blood packs?"

"That's right, there is no such scary female ghost in disguise, it's strange."

"But listening to music is quite scary, not the usual horror movie music!"

"I'm in a hurry, the sound engineer of this movie is a bit awesome, why does the name look so familiar to me?"

"……I also……"

"Japanese horror movie fans tell you, this one is a big boss."

"The sound effect of the best horror movie in Neon last time was him."

"Oops, I'm actually looking forward to it?"

……

Now many viewers have begun to watch the production, which is of course a point that can be promoted.

But when the praise faded away, everyone became disheartened again.

Hey, don't talk about sound effects masters, even some Hollywood masters have also cooperated in their countries, but I won't talk about the acclimatization. The quality of the production is basically the standard of bad movies.

If you don't promote the plot well, you just promote the production, the master, etc. The possibility of it being a bad movie is quite high.

But it's not that the film studio doesn't want to promote the plot, but the plot of this movie, once spoiled, it won't be so good.

Spoiler alert, not now.

In the early stage, of course, you can only follow the general routine.

In this case, even a little publicity is good.

Of course, in the 1-minute clip, there are still quite a few shots of Yang Li, the appearance has been changed several times, and a poster has been specially posted.

In the trailer, the official release time is also released.

National Day.

While the fans were secretly excited, they couldn't help but feel guilty.

This is a period of time when blockbusters gather, and at that time even the domestic protection month is out, and there are still several Hollywood blockbusters to be released this year.

But if the themes don't conflict, maybe it can be saved.

I originally thought that there would be no problems with the early publicity. After all, there was no substantive content, just telling everyone that "we are ready to release".

But man is not as good as God.

As the only young actor in it, Yao Peipei naturally reposted this Weibo.

She herself is not well-known, and everyone collectively ignores her.

But Yao Peipei's father saw his daughter's movie was released, so he couldn't help showing off, and he also forwarded it, bragging about his daughter.

But Dad Yao's Weibo certification is the director, and the work certification is "The Chopper Ghost".

First of all, the mic was used to ridicule Hei Yanglihei's most ruthless family, another popular niche fan.

"Pfft, I almost died from laughing. Yang Niba's movie is a bad movie. It's either money laundering or IQ census. Don't talk about sound effects masters or production. Look, the actors in it are still One is the daughter of the chief director of "Ghost Story of the Kitchen Knife". Let me state in advance that I have no problem with the young actor, but I have a problem with her father and her work!"

Although it has been several years since "The Chopper Ghost" was released, many people still have a deep impression of this name.

After all, it is the only ghost film that is so bad. At the beginning, many people laughed at "hahaha" that "anyone can make a movie", and some people played a lot of tricks in it.

Gradually, everyone turned their attention to "The Kitchen Knife Ghost Affair".

Papa Yao saw that something was wrong and quickly deleted Weibo.

But it's useless to delete it, everyone has archived it.

Black fans began to find this film again and watch it again.

When this film was first made, most of Yang Li was a female ghost in disguise, so he didn't show his face at all, and he didn't even recognize himself.As for the appearance of the neighbor in the final ending, that is also a distant view, showing a side face, wearing the costume of the female ghost, and holding the big kitchen knife that runs through the whole film in his hand. The kitchen knife is much more eye-catching than him.

However, Yang Li has not been picked out of this dark history during this period of popularity. The main reason is that when the movie uploaded the cast list later, "Yang Li" was labeled as "Yang Li" the name.

The name Yang Li is completely the name of an ordinary group performer, who would care?

The name was wrong, and the appearance couldn't be seen clearly, so Yang Li could cover it up smoothly.

But this time is different.

The sunspots are really "I know you when you turn into ashes", which can catch up with Monkey King's piercing eyes, and his eyes and hands are blooming.

After confirming that the female ghost was Yang Li, she immediately took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo to start mocking her.

And at this time, it was only half an hour since Yao's father tweeted to praise his daughter.

After half an hour, watching a movie at twice the speed, you can't finish watching it, and you're actually recognized like that?

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned from "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" to the appearance of Yang Li's female ghost.

Zhou Cheng immediately sent out a series of emoticons, and began to increase the favorability of passers-by with rhythm.

Yang Li has never advertised himself as a newcomer, and has always said that he is acting in a work that everyone can't see or remember. It is very lucky to be picked up now.

The sunspots ridiculed and ridiculed, and they all deleted the posts without deleting them, purely as a promotional hit for their movie.

In order to appease Yang Li, Zhou Cheng also passed a copy of the newly released emoticon package to Yang Li, asking him to use it well, and after using it a few times, he will get used to it.

As a star, I don't have a decent series of emoticons, so I'm ashamed to call myself popular when I go out.

Yang Li was taken aback when he saw the emoji that Zhou Cheng had sent him while resting at noon.

Huh?

Why did Brother Zhou suddenly send him a picture of a female ghost?But there are no ghosts in their movie.

Too many things have happened recently, Yang Li, this guy, has completely deleted the matter of acting as a female ghost from his head.
