If we follow the normal routine, the box office will definitely not be much higher when "Dragon Gate" is criticized in various ways.

"Thirteen Hairpins" also has flaws, but its subject matter is special, and the release date is also special.

Therefore, even though the first-day box office of "Dragon Gate" is higher than that of "Thirteen Hairpins", its staying power is definitely not comparable.

Xu Ke no longer thinks about billions in box office.

It's a waste of time to think about it.

He just wanted to hold Zhang Lue under him.

Both are super great directors, he is considered a great commercial director, and Zhang Lue is considered an award-winning director. If they can't keep up at the box office, he can really retire and return to work.

Combined with the reputation trend of movies on the Internet, they really came up with a solution.

That is to amplify the highlight of Qian Chen in the movie.

Originally, the breakthrough for the film's promotion was that Li Feihong would continue the classic, and the previous movie "Dragon Gate" was also planned to have Li Feihong's remarks.

In fact, Liang Zihui's performance couldn't be better.

Even if Li Feihong really plays the role, he may not be any better than Liang Zihui.

The second breakthrough is Brother Chun.

The entire promotion period of the film took this as the key point.

Brother Chun is so popular.

However, according to the feedback from Xuanfa, everyone was disappointed to find that Brother Chun's fan box office conversion rate was pitifully low.

Brother Chun's appearance and acting skills were criticized by passers-by.

There is even a saying that "I act out as soon as I see Brother Chun", and the frequency is very high.

As for Zhou Xun, she is facing the siege of two classic film and television characters, Lin Qingxia's Qiu Moyan and Zhang Manyu's Jin Xiangyu.

She can't compare to any of them.

The three main propaganda points fell one by one.

The movie does not lack money for publicity, but it lacks the point of publicity, which is quite embarrassing.

In this case, Qian Chen had no choice but to "right up" him.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the eunuch is called the king.

The film crew plans to work hard to make people wonder how classic the role of Yu Huatian is, how good Qian Chen's performance is, and whether this eunuch is a sissy or not.

So I walked into the movie theater out of curiosity.

These people go to Yuhuatian. After coming out, no matter how much they complain about the movie, they will always say that Yuhuatian is really good.

Isn’t this going to get hotter?

"Uncle Xu, it's okay to use me as a breakthrough point for propaganda, but please show mercy. Since ancient times, going too far is never enough. I can't afford to offend Zhang Lue."

This time, Qian Chen didn't get the advantage and behaved well.

The other three Xuanfa breakthrough points were completely wiped out, which was a huge opportunity for him.

But when it comes to movie promotion, it’s useless to just praise it.

It must be topical.

When the time comes, I might have to win over someone, or directly step on the "Thirteen Hairpins" next door.

No one is willing to be stepped on and must fight back.

Moreover, overwhelming praise will actually ruin your popularity among passers-by.

Qian Chen doesn't have that big of an idea about joining the front line.

The factory owner doesn't like to follow the rules set by others, it's like upgrading to fight monsters.

According to popular opinion, he first entered the second-tier film industry due to the excellent box office performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story 4".

For an artist who has only been in the industry for two years, this is not only a good result, but also a perfect score.

Now I am getting closer because of "Love Lost" and "Dragon Gate".

However, it doesn't matter whether you make it to the front line or not.

These people don't even think about which second-tier artist can match his salary and endorsements.

Let’s talk about status in the entertainment industry.

Even if he is on the front line or above the front line, he still dares to show his face to his face.

"Don't worry, our friendship is more important than this movie." Xu Ke agreed simply.

It seems that Xuanfa still needs to be put under a tight spell.

Qian Chen can be used as a breakthrough for publicity, but publicity must be carried out steadily.

Qian Chen hung up the phone and put the phone in his pocket.

Soon I followed the staff and met the person in charge of the set.

Ma Dagang is not here, but there is the producer Chen Guofu here - he is the director of "Two Boys" and is now considered a senior executive of Huayi, and his position is Huayi Media Director.

However, as a director, he is not responsible for directing plays here.

The real decision maker was Zhang Guoqi.

"You have worked hard all the way. You should get some sleep. You can start shooting at ten o'clock." Zhang Guoqi admired Qian Chen for traveling all night.

These days, young people are increasingly unwilling to endure hardship.

No, you can’t say that they endure hardship or not. They don’t even follow their proper time concept.

The whole crew was waiting at every turn.

Don't worry if you offend the crew, let the team and the agency do various things.

Zhang Guoqi was originally worried that Qian Chen would gain weight after returning home for half a month.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not gain weight, he actually became thinner. For such a tall man, he was so thin that he would fall over if the wind blew.

"I've slept all the way, why should I rest? I have to get familiar with the location and the shooting progress," Qian Chen shook hands with Zhang Guo, looked at the vast white land, and said with emotion: "This is not the first time for me to come here.

I was here last time for "One Bag of Grandmasters", but at that time I was a martial artist."

"This place is too cold. You dare to come here a second time. You are very brave." Zhang Guoqi led Qian Chen inside.

His son followed him, holding a small sun in each hand.

Next to an empty snowfield, a railway line was created by the crew as the "Shaanxi border".

The scene is an empty rice field, with a door sign of "Luoyang Station" that is dozens of meters high. The train station inside the house sign is all set up in a real scene, and behind the train station are the railway tracks and the unique treasure of this scenic spot - an old-fashioned steam locomotive.

Like Wang Jiawei in "One Bag of Grandmasters", Ma Dagang chose Tiaobingshan because of the trains here.

To be precise, it's a steam locomotive.

The majestic steam locomotive, full of the glory of the industrial revolution and the history of the development of the times, erupts and roars in the wilderness. Ancient and natural, modern and historical, the scene blends and has a unique flavor.

In the future, if everyone shoots movies with similar scenes, they will probably come here.

There were nearly a thousand extras crowding outside the house. Most of them played the role of escapees. They were wearing shabby cotton clothes and pushing two-wheeled trolleys. The carts were filled with pots, bottles, boxes, tables and other belongings, as well as dirt on their faces, chilblains, etc.

Very meticulously done.

The student-looking escapees wear clothes similar to those of the female students in "Thirteen Hairpins".

The extras also played the role of railway police, responsible for managing access to the train station, and many of them had props and spears on their bodies.

Outside the scene, tents were erected as temporary shelters from the wind.

The group evolves in and out.

The play here almost invites thousands of extras.

It's freezing cold, and you can't light a stove in the tent, which can easily cause danger, so electric heaters like small suns come in handy.

Qian Chen followed Zhang Guoqi into the director's tent and greeted the other creatives one by one.

It was a little warmer inside, but everyone was still shivering.

In order to join the group, Qian Chen also joined Sese's ranks.

"Two people from the makeup team will put on Qian Chen's makeup and get clothes, and the rest of the team will start preparing." Zhang Guoqi gave the order, and the entire crew started to move.

Qian Chen has a nanny car and he can stay in it.

After he changed clothes and put on makeup and came out, around nine o'clock, the filming finally started.

In fact, the preparations started at five o'clock in the morning.

Is it hard to make a movie?

It must be hard work.

Especially in an environment of minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.
