"Watching Movies" magazine is the number one film magazine in China.

The predecessor seemed to be the Emei Film Factory's magazine, which was reorganized and sold to the public.

At the beginning, it was a very professional thing about film theory, called "Movie Works". It is very artistic, but unfortunately it is too niche and cannot be sold at all. So it was revised in 1999 and called "Watching Movies", which caters to the content and meets the needs of movie fans.

With the latest foreign movie information as the theme, of course, some domestic new movies will also be published.

Only after understanding the audience's needs can you start to make a profit and the brand becomes more and more popular.

Huang Haikun, editor-in-chief of "Watching Movies" magazine.

His pen name is Alang. He is a very typical Chinese filmmaker, the kind of expert who always speaks of Godard and Fellini.

Later I found that this thing was not very interesting to readers, and it was not as popular as Zhao Wei's interview that sold more!

So, I changed my mind and now I mainly do some interviews and comments on movies, and occasionally do some overseas reports...

Interview with Lu Xiaoran was a public relations for Orange Image. To put it bluntly, who would be interested in the first work of a director who transformed into a young actor?

Out of respect, he went to the cinema to watch "Border Storm" and was very excited...

Huang Haikun, who has read a lot of movies, saw at a glance the tribute of "Border" to many classic foreign films, but this tribute is well combined with the entire movie, and it is not abrupt at all.

This is a very smart young man!

I quickly checked Lu Xiaoran’s information in detail. I had a rich resume, seven TV series that have been broadcast, and three movies...

Then, he suddenly became excited.

He felt that he had found a connection, that is, Lu Xiaoran's network of contacts: Zhao Fenggang, Zhang Guoli, Sun Honglei...

Beijing Circle!

This young man is amazing. He is not alone, but a circle stands behind him!

So interesting...

...

Roadshow promotion is not enough to go to one place or one cinema. At least six first-tier cities like Shanghai have to go to, and the amount has to be increased. We went to eight cinemas in one day.

As for the eight major theaters, the kingly way is to dip the rain and dew.

Lu Xiaoran felt that his facial muscles were almost spasming. Every time he went to a theater, audience, and media asked questions similar. He could only keep smiling and then answer...

Very painful!

It's much more tiring than filming!

But there is no way, publicity, what you are trying to expose. If you don’t come, no one will care about you!

I have to run away even if I choose a promotional plan myself!

The last game was finally over, bowed and thanked the audience, and a group of people got into the car and went to the hotel. After returning, they had to fall asleep as soon as possible. They would set off for Nanjing at 7:00 tomorrow morning...

In the car, no one wanted to talk.

Only Lu Xiaoran was trying to make a strong effort to confirm the itinerary with the publicity staff...

At this moment, Lu Xiaoran's cell phone rang, and it was called by Zhong Lifang.

"…Okay, I get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoran grinned unconsciously. Since he answered the phone, he has been staring at Tangtang, who has been photographing him, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"The first day's box office results are out!"

"How many?"

"Nearly 8 million!"

“…8…8 million…”

Now even Sun Honglei was excited. What is the concept of eight million?

The box office of "Hero" on the first day was only 8.8 million!

Sun Honglei's "Zhou Yu's Train" with Gong Li and Liang Jiahui was only 20 million in total...

Lu Xiaoran continued: "The market feedback is very good, with the attendance rate reaching 40%, the first place in the same period!"

"Then... how much can the total box office be?"

Yang Xiaomi, who was pretending to be dead in the back row, also spoke.

"It's hard to say, it depends on tomorrow's results."

"Why is it hard to say?"

"On the 12th, the "Please of Revenge" was released, and we only have ten days to go!"

"The Sentence of the Fame", Li Lianjie + Liu Dehua + Kim Sung-woo, indeed...

Can't beat it...

After "The Envoy" and "Assembly" was released, we can only watch the gods fight...

...

That’s right, Zhong Lifang even cheated Lu Xiaoran, and Xiaoma announced the data to the public was 7.58 million!

In order to prevent Lu Xiaoran from letting go, he simply hid it from him.

This is not a big deal. What is the difference between 6.58 million on the first day and 7.58 million on the first day?

Nearly 8 million...

I can only say that Xiaoma is not brave enough to do this for the first time and only adds one million yuan. If it were replaced by Huayi, it would have announced that it would have exceeded 10 million yuan on the first day!

So is the first-day score worth nearly eight million?

Of course!

And it exceeded everyone's expectations. What is the concept of eight million on the first day?

To be less, the total box office is 50 million, and to be more than 10 million!

The first day of "Stone" didn't have a box office of 2 million!

Lu Xiaoran himself was also analyzing that he could only say that he occupied too much of "The Hidden" because of the information on the Internet, most of the audience watched the movie with the words "Hidden actors gathered"!

But the specific trend depends on tomorrow's performance. If Saturday's results hit a new high, you can relax a little...

It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening when he arrived at the hotel. Lu Xiaoran directly met Huang Haikun under the leadership of the propaganda staff.

"It's been a long time since you wait..."

Huang Haikun smiled and said, "It's promotional, I understand."

He is also an insider in the industry. He probably knows how busy the actors during the promotional period are. He watched Lu Xiaoran's itinerary in advance and knew that he was in eight theaters in a row today, and he really squeezed out the time to accept exclusive interviews...

Seeing Lu Xiaoran sit down, he asked, "Do you want to eat something?"

"No, eating midnight snacks can make you fat, which is a taboo for actors!"

And eating too much can easily cause sleepiness...

The staff brought a pot of coffee, helped the two of them, and then closed the door...

Huang Haikun opened the recording pen and placed it on the table, looked at Lu Xiaoran, and reminded: "We're starting?"

"Let's start!"

“Is there anything that cannot be said?”

“…As long as you are not regent, you don’t involve pornography, just ask casually~”

Huang Haikun smiled: "First of all, congratulations to the first self-directed and self-acted movie for its release. What do you want to say?"

"…I was a little excited at first, but now I'm tired. I just want to end the publicity quickly and have a good sleep!"

A word made Huang Haikun have a good impression of him, and this young man was not artificial at all!

“Where is the most tiring part of publicity?”

"You have to answer the same question dozens of times, and you have to pretend to be the first time you answer it every time, and pretend to think... it's much more tiring than acting!"

"Haha..." Huang Haikun laughed and then asked: "I know that "Border" was Li Ming of Li Ma who Ning Hao recommended you to, and then he invested. Is there anything happening in the middle?"

"Actually, Big Dog Brother...is Li Ming. We all call him Big Dog Brother," Lu Xiaoran explained, and then said: "Big Dog Brother wants to sign Ning Hao. He invested in my show, but the condition is that Ning Hao will serve as the producer..."
