Chapter 305: Flash mob promotion adds limits: second-tier remote cities

On August 3rd, the day *Dream Builders* went online.

Jin Li and others originally planned to run 5 flash mob promotions, all of which were in the gap of playing advertisements before the movie started to show their faces.

But when it really came to on-site implementation, they found that it was not so difficult to hold flash mob activities in the cinema.

The audience who came to watch the movie were very polite, did not interrupt their answers three or four times, and the organization of the cinema was also very orderly.

For example, the flash mob activity held at Daye Cinema in the morning, after they finished running in Area A, they still had time to go to the B area cinema.

This achieved the effect of promoting two shows in one activity.

In the morning at Daye Cinema, they promoted four shows through flash mobs and answered the fans' doubts.

All the main creators bowed and thanked before leaving, hoping that their performance could make the audience feel worth the ticket price.

In the afternoon, they ran to Yuhe Cinema.

It was also the original planned two-show itinerary, because the time was well-timed, the result was four activities.

In the evening, all the main creators didn't rest either and went to run Huaying Legend Cinema.

The original plan was to run only one show, but Huaying Legend gave *Dream Builders* two schedules in the evening, with a total of four cinema halls playing the film.

The director considered that there were promotions in the morning and afternoon, and by the evening, the actors would be physically exhausted, so he only arranged one show.

Now seeing that everyone was energetic, Director Zhong asked them: "Can we continue to run, right here at Huaying Legend, and add a few more shows?"

Jin Li answered first: "I can!"

Other actors also responded one after another: "Okay!"

The atmosphere looked harmonious, but in fact, some young actors were very dissatisfied in their hearts.

Although the body was not very tired, the continuous rushing made them mentally tired.

Originally thought they could rest soon, didn't expect the director to arrange a flash mob temporarily.

But even Jin Li, a celebrity with poor health, took the lead, and they, as the bottom small fry, dared not have opinions even more.

Huaying Legend Cinema received the news of Director Zhong's temporary addition of promotion and was very moved. They knew that the *Dream Builders* crew had been rushing all day today, and by the evening, everyone's state was actually a bit tired.

However, for the sake of the movie box office, the crew fought.

Their cinema hoped to get more box office and wished the crew would promote harder.

So Huaying Legend temporarily changed its strategy, not only arranging quick Q&A activities but also distributing small cinema peripherals to every audience who came!

The peripherals were not expensive, just some small stickers, but every audience who received the gift was very moved and posted photos on the internet one after another.

Netizens who didn't catch up with the scene were envious, jealous, and hateful again.

【Ah ah ah, why didn't I grab the ticket!!】

【How long will the activity last, can celebrities come to remote areas to participate?】

【Not in a first-tier city, can second- and third-tier cities give a chance?】

While netizens were discussing, all the main creators of *Dream Builders* finally ended today's rushing at 9:30 PM and returned to the hotel.

Participating in 12 flash mobs today, even if the time was short, the sense of fatigue surged into their hearts.

But even so, everyone couldn't rest, but was temporarily gathered by Director Zhong for a meeting.

He wanted to change the itinerary tomorrow and move the promotion in remote areas that would only be run in the next week to tomorrow.

Director Zhong said: "I know everyone is very tired after running for a day today, but the popularity on the internet is very good now, and I want to respond to the call of netizens and share more promotion in second- and third-tier cities, or more remote cities."

A young actor immediately felt dissatisfied and muttered: "Is it necessary to do this? Whether it is second- or third-tier or remote cities, they cannot explode with huge box office like first-tier cities."

Jin Li shook her head: "No, I conversely think running these cities is also very important."

She thought for a while and expressed her point of view: "The more barren the soil, the more it can bloom the flowers of knowledge. Because they lack these, they will value these more than other people."

Many students in small towns are not unintelligent, but the learning conditions they possess from the beginning cannot compare to first-tier cities.

When parents in first-tier cities rely on wealthy families to strive to broaden various quality education for their children, cultivate hobbies, and plan to study abroad.

And parents in small towns, the only resource they possess is to let their children study hard.

Even now that everyone has escaped poverty, "tutoring classes" for many families is still something they dare not think about.

This film *Dream Builders* looks like it tells the hard struggle made by Chinese scientists for research, but it is actually a story of chasing dreams.

Everyone is a dream chaser!

Taking this point as the core to do promotion, then whether it is in first-tier cities or second- and third-tier cities, or more remote places, it is applicable.

And from the perspective of resource acquisition, Jin Li believes that the more remote the place, the more it needs corresponding promotion.

These places, compared to other prosperous places, need the power of dreams more to support people to move forward.

If someone decides to work hard and face difficulties after watching this film, then it is not in vain for the crew to film this film.

And Jin Li discovered a point: *Dream Builders* has not said it is a commercial film since the beginning of promotion.

Maybe because of this, even when she examines this film, she feels that this is an art film full of idealism.

Don't think that art films cannot be as exaggerated as commercial films, as if they can only reflect the cruelty of reality.

Facts have proved that the development history of our country is a history of constantly writing miracles.

To tell the truth, the screenwriter dare not write like this, but this is the fact.

After Jin Li spoke, Xu Wenwen also followed: "Director, tell me how to run and I will run, no two words!"

The female lead and the female 2nd lead both spoke like this, and other young actors, no matter how dissatisfied they were in their hearts, dared not say it in public.

Director Zhong said: "Okay, that's it, I will send you the itinerary for tomorrow later."

Speaking of this, his words paused, and he said lightly: "Those who don't want to come don't have to come tomorrow, and don't have to come for future promotion activities."

This sentence was light and indifferent, but it fell into the hearts of some actors like a thunderclap!

Jin Li and Director Zhong were the first to leave the conference room. Xu Wenwen specifically stayed without leaving and huddled with that group of young actors.

Without waiting for the young actors to complain, she took the lead and said: "Really treat yourself as a number one character, thinking that Director Zhong is easy-going and has no temper?"

"You haven't seen Director Zhong when filming; when he gets angry, he even scolds himself. He doesn't give himself face, let alone you?"

"It's not that I said it, you really think Director Zhong says democracy, listens to your opinions, and will really care about your opinions?"

"Hurry up and put away your arrogant hearts!"

Xu Wenwen said with a bit of hatred for iron not becoming steel: "In the two years when I first debuted, I wanted to take a big director's movie, and I didn't even have the opportunity to be a passerby!"

After she finished scolding, she left. Other crew members looked at each other, some with thoughtful expressions, and some with indignation.

"Why does she say us like this? She is just a female 2nd lead herself!"

"That is, Jin Li pointing fingers at us is almost the same. Jin Li doesn't come out, who does she think she is!"

"Makes her not want to grab the lens, if she has the ability, don't lick Jin Li!"

After Xu Wenwen returned to the room, the assistant who had been following her spoke: "Sister Wen, you actually don't need to remind those people."

The assistant stood up for her: "Those people don't know good from bad!"

Xu Wenwen shook her head and sighed: "When I think of them, I think of when I first debuted, also so young and vigorous, putting no one in my eyes, and as a result, I offended the seniors in the circle and suffered for so many years."

"If I hadn't grabbed the opportunity of *Dream Builders*, I might not have been able to receive a good movie invitation. Although the box office results haven't come out yet, I can conclude that I can soar because of *Dream Builders*."

"So I want them to be cautious and grasp the opportunity well, don't be proud and complacent. I don't care what they think of me, whether they think I'm pretending or arrogant... I hope they can calm down and don't disobey the director's will."

The assistant said angrily: "I stood at the door and listened secretly, those people even blamed you, good intentions not rewarded."

Xu Wenwen comforted her in turn: "I have a clear conscience."

In the *Dream Builders* crew, the assistant relationships between celebrities are quite good. Those who can bring assistants are second-tier small flowers and first-tier celebrities, or old drama bones who need to be taken care of.

These assistants will gather together from time to time to communicate.

After Xu Wenwen's assistant went out, she met Chen Qin, who went to get an extra towel.

The crew only bears the accommodation expenses of the actors, and the assistant's room fee is paid separately by the celebrity.

Chen Qin and Xu Wenwen's assistant happened to live in the same building.

Chen Qin saw her depressed and couldn't help but say: "What's wrong with you, your complexion is so bad?"

"Heh, it's not those young actors. My celebrity kindly reminded them, but was mocked by them in turn..."

Chen Qin knocked on Jin Li's door and asked her about tomorrow's recipe.

Since Jin Li knew that she relied on drawing lots to decide the daily recipe, she couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Why bother the gods with these small things, you can come and ask me in the future."

So after that, Chen Qin decided on several recipes and let Jin Li decide.

This time was no exception.

Chen Qin, while Jin Li was thinking about what to eat, shifted her eyes and told her about Xu Wenwen's matter, asking back:

"Sister Jin Li, are the minds of young actors so floating now?"

Jin Li also asked back: "At a young age, you can participate in a big director's movie, and the role played has a highlight moment in the movie, which can be impressive."

"The director looks easy-going and kind, and every activity asks every actor's opinion democratically. If it were you, wouldn't you float?"

Chen Qin said in a low voice: "For someone like me, the director doesn't look at me, I can't think of it."

Jin Li: "......"

She patted Xiao Qin's shoulder and said earnestly: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will invest in making a drama myself, and I will take you to act, so that you can see that you are full of opportunities."

Chen Qin beamed with joy instantly.

Jin Li said: "In short, don't worry too much, let them float if they want to float, the director has a count in his heart."

Chen Qin asked curiously: "What will the director do?"

Jin Li said calmly: "Kill the chicken to warn the monkey, it has been like this since ancient times."

The next day, *Dream Builders* airborne the second-tier city Changcheng and started a wave of flash mob promotion.

This promotion activity also started from Daye Cinema, Yuhe Cinema, and Huaying Legend Cinema.

There is another big publicity channel, Xingyao Cinema, but it was not arranged by the crew to run in the early stage. It is still a bit strenuous to run 4 cinemas in one day.

What is more interesting is that Changcheng, as a relatively remote city in the second tier, except for the city center, the box office of every cinema in other towns is not full.

But the remote city is what Director Zhong chose.

Their first stop chose Guangming Town. In Daye Cinema, *Dream Builders* only had a 50% attendance rate. The movie fans were a bit confused about the paper and pens distributed by the staff before the movie started.

Passerby A: 【Feels a bit strange, why did the cinema also give us paper and pens before the broadcast, let us write down the questions we want to ask *Dream Builders*, is this some kind of new activity?】

Netizens who brushed it:?

【Yesterday the *Dream Builders* crew airborne the cinema to do flash mob promotion, those movie fans got paper and pens to write down questions! Blogger, shouldn't it be...】

【Look at the blogger saying he is in Guangming Town, Changcheng, isn't this a very remote place? Will the main creators specifically run to such a place??】

【I think this is just a sense of ritual, the main creators won't come over, but entrusted the cinema to collect your questions, so that they can answer them uniformly on a certain platform!】

Not only netizens were confused, but the movie fans who had already sat down in the cinema also didn't understand what medicine the cinema was selling in the gourd?

However, not long after, they saw a shocking scene.

Damn, how did the main creative team appear in front of me alive?!

Wow, little broken town, you have prospects!!

Wait, can your little broken town afford the appearance fee of celebrities?!

Passerby A, who had previously revealed on the blog, couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and took out his mobile phone to live stream.

In the flash mob promotion, taking photos of movie fans was not prohibited, as long as you don't shoot when the movie is playing.

Passerby A praised while shooting: "So good-looking, Jin Li is really good-looking, glowing white in the crowd, the skin looks so delicate!"

"Mom~ the lens can't capture Jin Li's beauty at all, I think she is like a human peach, really good-looking!"

"I saw Director Zhong, hope to get his autograph, don't know if I can let him look over—"

Suddenly, Passerby A made an incredibly shocking move—

He sank his dantian and roared: "Director Zhong, I love you! *Dream Builders* is so good!!"

The next second, Director Zhong was attracted by this brother's sharp shouting and waved at him with a smile.

Passerby A continued to roar: "Director Zhong, I love you! Can you give me an autograph?!!"

Zhong Wentai immediately picked up the microphone and responded: "There is actually a fan of mine at the scene, then of course it's okay, I will ask the staff to give it to you later."

In the cinema hall with not many people, a burst of violent screaming erupted.

Passerby A specifically sighed: "This year's life goal is complete."

Netizens who came to watch the live streaming room:......

Why are you so showy??? ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
