Chapter 566

~16 min read 3,082 words

The scheduling time for "Dawn" was set long ago, which is July 1st.

In May, Director Chu outsourced the film's promotion and marketing to a professional promotion planning company, wanting to start the film's promotion at that time and slowly warm up.

Wait until June to launch intensive promotion, and then explode when it is released in July.

It's a pity that the idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Promotion companies are relatively timid.

Director Chu found that the first company had risk concerns about "Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam" and was unwilling to use Seeing Jin Li as an important gimmick for promotion, so he contacted other companies.

As a result, the three or four companies contacted later all refused to carry out promotion planning for "Dawn" because of the risk of "Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam."

Their reply to Director Chu was: "Director Chu, using Seeing Jin Li as a gimmick for promotion is too risky. We don't know how her college entrance exam results will be, and whether she will crash after the scores come out.

The contract we signed with you is to ensure that "Dawn" becomes famous and that there can be no negative public opinion.

In order to be responsible for "Dawn," we cannot focus the promotion on Seeing Jin Li. If we agree to your request, that would be irresponsible to "Dawn.""

Chu Chenliang asked at the time: "You think the risk of focusing the promotion on Seeing Jin Li is too great, then why did Fang Fei and Rumengling let her endorse new products and release advertisements before Seeing Jin Li participated in the college entrance exam?

Are you trying to tell me that these two major international luxury brands are blind? They can't see the risks, and they still insist on launching new products endorsed by Seeing Jin Li at this crisis juncture?

Are the marketing departments of these two luxury companies completely acting on impulse, treating the company as their own one-word hall?"

The person in charge of the marketing planning company was speechless.

They could only say: "These two major luxury brands must have signed relatively harsh agreements with Seeing Jin Li in private, making Seeing Jin Li guarantee that her college entrance exam scores must reach a certain score, so they would gamble like this."

Chu Chenliang said indifferently: "Then I can also sign relevant agreements with Seeing Jin Li, letting her guarantee what kind of score she will get."

Person in charge: "This is different."

Chu Chenliang: "What's different?"

In short, what kind of contract Chu Chenliang signed with Seeing Jin Li is their business.

But the marketing company signed a contract with Director Chu, so they must be responsible for the promotion of "Dawn." They unanimously believe that "Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam" is a huge risk point.

Yes, if Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam scores are good, then "Dawn" can achieve great success by laying out promotion in advance.

But what if Seeing Jin Li's scores are a Waterloo?

She can only get into a second-tier university, or even can't get into a second-tier university, and can only get into a third-tier university or a junior college?

The promotion laid out in advance, no matter how much expectation it arouses from netizens, will face how much backlash.

At that time, the public opinion storm that would be scraped up, the marketing planning company felt that it could not bear it, so it was unwilling to take on such a high-risk thing.

Chu Chenliang has been unable to negotiate with these promotion planning companies, so the promotion of "Dawn" has been delayed again and again, dragging on until now.

Yesterday, he received a refusal from another marketing planning company, and the reason used was still the same.

Director Chu was rejected so many times in a row, and his temper came up.

Originally, he decided to outsource the promotion to a professional company, but these companies couldn't satisfy him, so he simply communicated with Seeing Jin Li in private and then launched the promotion.

V Dawn: 【The end of the world is coming, who will be that true dawn?

When the City of Hope becomes an empty city, and the order that humanity has managed to maintain in the end of the world collapses, who will be the true savior?

Perhaps, the true savior is never someone else, but oneself.

"Dawn" Awakening Source Code, coming on July 1st, welcome everyone to come and watch, thanks to @Xu Ting @Bai Jiang @Seeing Jin Li...】

Netizens ate the gossip of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment on the front foot, and brushed the official scheduling of "Dawn" on the trending search on the back foot, and rushed to eat gossip and leave messages one after another.

【Sensationalism? Release "Dawn"! Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, are you questioning our Director Chu's vision for casting? If Seeing Jin Li didn't have real materials, Director Chu wouldn't let her be the second female lead!】

【A persona packaged only by marketing hype? Not only release "Dawn," but also release "Dream Builder" launched in the summer file last year!

The second box office of Dream Builder in the summer file last year, this kind of box office strength, you say it is an actor who purely relies on hype, has no acting skills, and is sensational?】

【Guess why Li Xunfang hasn't received a movie for so long? Because people have self-knowledge and know how the second female lead of that movie that played brilliantly was obtained. Other directors are not like Director Xu, who can teach Li Xunfang to act frame by frame!】

Netizens discussed enthusiastically. Hao Zhongyi Entertainment was the city gate catching fire, and Li Xunfang was the fish affected by the pond fish.

Chen Peixian looked at the mocking comments sent by netizens and couldn't help but reply. The more he said, the more wrong he was. Netizens must put a hat on his head.

Chen Peixian jumped over the wall in a hurry and used his fans' classic rhetoric to reply: 【I didn't say these stars you listed, why are you wronged for them?

What, you are substituting them in the right seat? In your heart, are these stars so sensational and vulnerable?】

Netizen A: 【Then talk about Li Xunfang.】

Netizen B: 【Then talk about Li Xunfang.】

Netizen C: 【Then talk about Li Xunfang.】

Facing the tags of many netizens, Chen Peixian pretended not to see it, skipped these comments, and turned to reply to those with deeper malicious comparisons.

Netizen F: 【You specifically pointed out Seeing Jin Li, but now people have successfully passed the college entrance exam, and a new movie is about to be released. You still have to apologize specifically here. Does your face hurt?】

Chen Peixian: 【I never said this was Seeing Jin Li. You automatically substituted her in the right seat. Do you distrust her so much?】

Netizen F: 【Then talk about Li Xunfang.】

Chen Peixian played dead, he just wouldn't say it!

The blog he posted at the beginning was intended to support Li Xunfang's words and support her.

If he denied Li Xunfang now, wouldn't he completely deny the blog he posted at the beginning.

He would rather post another blog to explain that netizens misinterpreted his meaning, and would not take back that blog.

This is Chen Peixian's last stubbornness, and also his last bit of personal freedom.

And on Li Xunfang's side.

It was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.

Zhao Rui looked at the public opinion on the internet and felt that it was very unfavorable to Li Xunfang.

Li Xunfang has indeed not filmed a movie for a long time. Netizens' guesses are actually very correct. Directors in the industry are unwilling to invite her to film movies.

At the beginning, Director Xu made her popular and let her win the Best Supporting Actress as a newcomer.

But at the same time, her reputation of "poor acting skills and needing to pick details step by step" spread out somehow.

Since she auditioned for several movies and got no response, it seems that everyone in the circle has acquiesced to this rumor.

Although in Zhao Rui's heart, this is not a rumor, but a fact, she cannot say this to the artist.

Other people can give up on her, but she absolutely cannot give up on her own artist.

If even she doesn't think her artist is excellent, then how can she be full of confidence in this artist.

So even if it is self-deception, she must think Li Xunfang is very strong and very powerful!

In front of her, Li Xunfang was already so angry that her cheeks were a little distorted, and she said indignantly: "It's fine to discuss Seeing Jin Li, so why did you pull it to me!"

"And this Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, can you speak, can you do PR! He said the wrong thing and caused Hong Kong circle stars to block him. Now he just wipes his butt and apologizes, and only I am left to attract firepower!"

"He is so cowardly, he shouldn't have published these words at the beginning. My interview at that time had no problems at all. It was all misinterpreted by Hao Zhongyi Entertainment!"

Zhao Rui still remembers that at that time, she saw Hao Zhongyi and voiced support, clapping her hands happily in the villa.

At that time, Li Xunfang also said that Hao Zhongyi Entertainment had vision and would cooperate if there was a chance.

And now, she has indeed started some cooperation with Hao Zhongyi Entertainment and will go to Hong Kong next month to participate in some announcements.

Zhao Rui said: "The top priority is to wash away the impression that you are a female star who relies on sensationalism and only knows how to market and package yourself in the eyes of netizens. My suggestion is that you quickly enter the crew to film."

Li Xunfang said irritably: "They want me to film a movie, where can I change a movie now?"

"And with my current status, I can't be a supporting role for others!"

Zhao Rui suddenly said: "But if that movie is a big director's movie, it's not impossible to be a supporting role for the actor he chooses, at least it can prove your strength."

"No!" Li Xunfang said decisively, "I can't be a supporting role for others, my status can't fall!"

"If you be a supporting role once, you will be a supporting role countless times. Even if the supporting role is played brilliantly, it is nailed to be just a supporting role. I will never be a supporting role!"

Zhao Rui turned to say: "Then you quickly enter the crew of "My Wife Wanwan". You have received a new play, which is enough to prove that your acting skills are okay. There are crews willing to find you to perform, which can also disguise the netizens who say your acting skills are not good and can't film film and television dramas."

In fact, Li Xunfang should have entered the crew in June, but she was reluctant to give up the popularity of the variety show.

A good variety show can not only improve a star's commercial value, but also bring hot spots and improve popularity.

The variety show Li Xunfang is currently participating in is a good variety show, called "Life Group Observation Diary," which specializes in opening stars' refrigerators to peek at the stars' private lives.

In addition to opening the refrigerator, there are many interactions, and they will also observe the state of ordinary people falling in love, which belongs to the novel mode of "daily life + love variety."

Originally, Li Xunfang was a guest as a flight guest and only participated in one episode.

But because the episode she participated in was very popular, many netizens came to see her, looking forward to her sharp comments on ordinary people's love observation.

The variety show also found at this time that Li Xunfang is very suitable for love variety, which may be related to her open and bold personality and her attitude towards the feelings of boyfriends and girlfriends being different from ordinary people.

So the variety show specifically asked Li Xunfang if she could participate in a few more episodes.

And at that time, the crew of "My Wife Wanwan" was already ready to start filming.

But Li Xunfang hid it from her and privately renewed the contract with the variety show, which led to the fact that June has arrived now, but she is still recording the variety show.

What can Zhao Rui do?

She could only beg her grandfather and grandmother to apologize to the crew, hoping that the crew would give a few more days.

Li Xunfang heard what Zhao Rui said and hesitated.

"I am filming a TV series, not a movie. Can those netizens believe it?"

Zhao Rui asked back: "Why don't you believe it?"

"TV series also need acting skills. You can still be the heroine, which shows that you haven't lost, nor have you been abandoned by the circle. You have a broad market, and a group of fans are willing to pay for your film and television dramas."

Under Zhao Rui's persuasion, Li Xunfang finally decided to pigeon the last episode of the variety show and entered the crew of "My Wife Wanwan" urgently that day.

Because their PR was fast, netizens felt that they were just teasing Li Xunfang for a while, and then brushed the news of Li Xunfang entering the new crew.

Her mutual adjustment with Lian Baozhi's new play only circulated in the circle and was not made public outside the circle, so netizens didn't know about it.

Li Xunfang entered the crew of "My Wife Wanwan", and the crew also launched a promotion, officially announcing thanks for Li Xunfang's joining.

A large number of netizens came to leave claws.

【Looking at it this way now, it turns out that Hao Zhongyi Entertainment is the one with the least strength】

【Tsk, slapped in the face, Li Xunfang can actually receive a new play. What kind of crew is this? Could it be that they are all related to Li Xunfang?】

【"My Wife Wanwan"? This is the same as a novel I read before. Could it be adapted from a novel?】

【Original fans come to report, the novel of this play is very successful, but I don't know if the change is okay?】

【To be honest, Li Xunfang's looks are very consistent with the description of the heroine in the novel: Clouds think of clothes and flowers think of faces, spring breeze brushes the railing and dew is thick. Her appearance and the novel heroine are both gorgeous and compelling.】

But this batch of netizens is also damaging.

After reading Li Xunfang's trending search and coming back, they returned to Hao Zhongyi Entertainment's official blog and started mocking:

【Li Xunfang has gone to film, and your company still can't enter the mainland. Old-brand stars in the Hong Kong circle still don't sell your face. You are the one with the least strength!】

【Seeing Jin Li has become someone you can't climb high, how many points did the artist you signed get in the art exam this year?】

【Everyone has to be responsible for what they say, crawl for me!】

Hao Zhongyi Entertainment's apology announcement stirred up the water in the entertainment industry.

Although the public is still immersed in the college entrance exam questions of various provinces, social livelihood and entertainment headlines can still squeeze into some trending searches.

And Seeing Jin Li, who has always remained silent and low-key, although not active in the entertainment industry, signed a temporary agreement with Director Chu, allowing Director Chu to take her as a topic to hype the movie.

She only signed this agreement with Director Chu. Later, the two big crocodiles Rumengling and Fang Fei smelled the smell and found it, but were politely declined by Seeing Jin Li.

Director Chu got the signal and immediately started the promotion of "Dawn".

On the day of the official announcement, he released the trailer and theme song simultaneously, instantly brushing the screen on the internet.

"The end of the world is coming, where is humanity's hope?"

"Is this dawn? This is clearly the abyss!"

"Who can save me, who can save me!"

In the trailer, it spent more than ten seconds describing the peace of the days, but suddenly one day, the end of the world came, the world collapsed, the screen shook fiercely, and it turned into a gloomy and dark end-of-the-world style.

Ruan Ruan, played by Seeing Jin Li, took on the only funny role in the trailer. She appeared with a large children's toy water gun, stepped on a skateboard, wore goggles on her head, and wrapped herself tightly.

"biu~biu~biu~"

Ruan Ruan hit the water in the water gun on people, and normal humans fell to the ground in response, with exaggerated movements.

But when hitting the last one, it was a zombie...

The zombie touched the water and didn't fall to the ground, but approached Ruan Ruan little by little as if it had found the food it longed for.

Ruan Ruan screamed in fright: "Ghost!!"

This ghost scream seemed to pull the curtain of the end of the world, and the peaceful campus was instantly in chaos.

At this time, Chu Chenliang gradually pulled the interior scene of the campus chaos into a long shot. Everyone was surprised to find that the outside was already in chaos, and this campus was instead like an isolation circle.

When the outside became completely miserable, the zombies invaded the campus.

The long shot switched back to the interior scene, and the male and female protagonists appeared on the stage. In the later part of the trailer, they were all cool fighting videos.

【After watching the trailer, the thing that impressed me the most was Seeing Jin Li's styling, it was too killing Matt】

【I didn't expect Seeing Jin Li to play a clown, but she is so beautiful, don't you think? A white, rich, and beautiful person in the world, even if she is full of intellectual disability, she is still so beautiful!!】

【Other actors feel that the breakthrough is not so big, but Seeing Jin Li gives me a lot of freshness, looking forward to her scenes!】
