Chapter 157 How to make headlines? Ask for a monthly ticket)
A ray of sunshine in the early morning shines on Wang Jiaming's face.
Then Wang Jiaming opened his eyes, finished washing, made the bed and went downstairs.
Familiar streets, familiar people and familiar everything.
Nothing has changed but everything seems a little too the same.
Usually at this time, he would turn into the alley and go to the darkest corner to look through the messy things. But now, he just stopped at the entrance of the alley for a while, and then turned to look at the sunny other side.
He no longer likes the darkness.
He already longed for the light.
He successfully quit drugs!
At this time, a figure with long flowing hair in the distance came into his sight...
When he saw the figure with flowing long hair, he suddenly felt his heart freeze and his breathing became slightly heavier.
"Wang, Wong!"
The big yellow dog barked and ran quickly towards the back of the long-haired figure. The back turned to look at the big yellow dog in confusion, and then looked up at Wang Jiaming, who was being led by the big yellow dog.
She laughed.
Wang Jiaming also laughed.
He plucked up the courage and walked up.
Under the sun, everything is so beautiful.
A touch of fragrance, a touch of moment...
This scene is the final plot of "The Wanderer".
It is rich in philosophy and thought-provoking.
"Click!"
"Perfect, finished!"
Fatty Wei shouted excitedly, and as Fatty Wei yelled, everyone's tense hearts relaxed at this moment.
The warm sunshine shines on this land, adding a strange color to this land.
"Wanderer", a movie that took more than three months to shoot, is finally officially finished at this moment!
Lu Yuan also breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the filming of this movie should have been completed long ago according to the original plan and it was delayed for more than ten days than the original plan, the ending was good after all.
Although it was over budget, it was not too much.
So far, the film has cost a total of more than 6.5 million yuan. If you add in some post-production costs for editing and rectification, the total cost will be about 7 million yuan.
Although it is a large amount of money, at least Lu Yuan does not have to throw money around.
At least……
Make a movie without taking out a mortgage on your house.
This is very stable!
"call!"
"Ayuan, would you like to have a wedding banquet tonight to celebrate?"
"Finishing banquet? Forget it."
"Why?"
"After the movie is released and the box office is out, let's just have a celebration party."
"good!"
Lu Yuan faced Fatty Wei's smile and shook his head.
He smiled, but his smile was a little tired.
He has been spending a lot of money lately and all he wants to do is save some money.
The previous company relocation really caused Lu Yuan to lose all his money, and when he calculated it, he had to pay wages to the company's employees every month, and this payment amounted to tens of thousands...
Who can withstand tens of thousands a month?
At least Lu Yuan wouldn't be able to bear the mess if he didn't save some money.
He is still short of money and still very poor!
If it weren't for the moral restraint and shamelessness, Lu Yuan would even frantically take all the calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things given by others to the market and sell them for money. Anyway, he didn't understand what these things were.
Just leave it alone...
But if Lu Yuan really dares to do this, then it is estimated that Lu Yuan will stop hanging out in the industry. Not only will he stop hanging around in the industry, he will not even have to hang out in China.
Why?
Maybe he will be stabbed in the spine and scolded to death, or if he doesn't scold him, he will be thrown to death with rotten eggs!
After all, is this something a human being can do?
Lu Yuan feels that at least he has some face and is a person of status, okay?
How could you do this!
…………………………………………
After the film was completed, Lu Yuan felt that a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Next, all matters such as submission for review and editing will be left to Fatty Wei. Lu Yuan can't help and doesn't need to help.
As for theaters, because there is a film "Buried Alive" in the pipeline, he no longer has to beg his grandma and grandpa to find it like before. So he only needs to wait for the review to be completed and the relevant departments to give an OK stamp and approve the release.
Everything fell into place.
But while Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, another string tightened slightly in his heart.
This matter is not over yet, there are still a lot of things to follow...
Wang Long's new album will be officially printed soon, and money will start to be invested in it again...
Then, wait until you contact the manufacturer, okay...
The previous budget of 450,000 yuan was completely insufficient, and it was just the price of previous years.
Now the price has increased several times.
In other words, Lu Yuan is going to overspend again!
Lu Yuan discussed with Wang Long, Wu Tingting and others, and the total investment exceeded more than 600,000 yuan, and this did not include publicity expenses and other expenses.
Wang Long is not a well-known singer, and he has no other channels, so it is unrealistic for Wang Long himself to save costs, and he can only rely on external help...
The first batch of albums sent to the factory for printing is expected to be 60,000 copies.
For other entertainment companies, 60,000 tickets is simply child's play, no different from playing, but in Lu Yuan's company, it is considered top-notch.
Lu Yuan has never made such a big investment before.
The album will definitely be released, and everything in the contract has been signed, so it’s definitely not possible to go back on it now.
After the album comes out, you must find a way to sell it, otherwise it will just pile up like a mountain and cheat people.
If you want to sell, you must promote it, but how to promote it?
Lu Yuan was a little worried about the promotion of this album...
You said go on TV? Go on various variety shows to promote?
How is this possible? Lu Yuan himself can be on it. After all, he has a certain degree of popularity and topic. Being on a variety show is good for everyone, but if Wang Long is recommended...
All right!
Who cheated on you?
Who is your Wang Long?
Which singer came out of nowhere?
Are you famous?
Can anyone participate in TV variety shows? What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Unless Lu Yuan is really willing to sacrifice his face to take Wang Long to the TV station and accompany Wang Long to participate in variety shows, this road will never work.
In fact, Lu Yuan did think so.
However, this was the last choice for Lu Yuan. He felt that he needed to hold a meeting for this promotion.
After all, he is not a person now, but a company!
On January 5th, Lu Yuan specially called all the key figures, including Wang Jinxue, Fatty Wei, Qian Zhong, Wang Long, Wu Tingting and others, to the conference room. By the way, he also called Zhou Shuai, who was so idle.
Came over for a meeting.
This meeting has two main purposes.
One purpose is about Wang Lung's album, and the other is about "Wanderer".
Both questions are very simple, they are both propaganda issues.
After everyone sat down, they all expressed their opinions. Some talked about spending money to deliver advertisements on buses, some talked about holding an online album signing event, and some talked about discussing with other TV stations to pay Wang Long to appear on TV. Fatty Wei even looked at him.
Because of Wang Long's figure, he suggested that Wang Long simply run to the street and take off his pants, and let Zhou Shuai take nude photos and post them online, so as to gain notoriety first and then publicize...
Fatty Wei's constructive suggestion was naturally kicked hard by Lu Yuan.
Why the hell don't you take it off?
"Ahem, cough, just kidding... I just feel that the atmosphere is too depressing, why don't I liven it up a bit..." Fatty Wei finally stopped talking after he laughed dryly and saw that everyone seemed too lazy to pay attention to him.
This joke is not funny at all.
Lu Yuan was silent.
There was a very serious problem before him now.
No matter how you promote it, you need money.
This publicity expense can be said to be a bottomless pit, at least Lu Yuan himself cannot afford it.
He doesn't want to sell antiques or mortgage real estate, let alone borrow money...
"Actually, it would be great if we could find a nationally famous celebrity to place an advertisement on Weibo and help complete the promotion... Isn't there a celebrity fan ranking list on Weibo? Who is the first? I remember calling it
Wei Lai, right? Tsk tsk, it’s still my family, right?
Well, Wei Lai seems to have been here when the company opened. He was very close to A Yuan at that time. I think if A Yuan contacts him a little bit, he won't refuse." Fatty Wei saw that everyone was silent.
, and subconsciously made an opinion on his own.
"Director Wei, do you know how much the publicity cost of a well-known star is?" Zhou Shuai shook his head and rolled his eyes at Fatty Wei. "The base price is hundreds of thousands. Wei Lai, who has the largest number of followers on Weibo, pays even the friendship price."
More than 200,000! And now it’s popular to use fans. Although Wei Lai has one million fans, we don’t know how many zombie fans there are on his Weibo... How effective will it be if you invest more than 200,000?"
"This..." Fatty Wei shook his head in embarrassment.
Lu Yuan's mind was already in a state of panic. He didn't know why his mind was not clear when it came to money, and he couldn't hold back a fart for a while.
Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...
These data are like sucking blood.
Everyone fell silent again.
"Why hire big stars from other companies?"
Wang Jinxue suddenly frowned.
"Mr. Wang, what do you mean... wait!" Wu Tingting didn't understand at first, but then her eyes lit up and she suddenly looked at Lu Yuan.
"Damn it, my brain is rusty from the recent filming of movies. Damn it, why should we invite other stars... Isn't this already available? I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain! Times
Oh! Isn’t Lu Yuan a damn big star? This guy is absolutely wandering!" Fatty Wei suddenly patted his head, and then stared at Lu Yuan.
"What?" Lu Yuan was confused for a while and did not wake up from the hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but after looking at everyone's eyes, he suddenly realized: "You mean you want me to advertise?"
"Yes! Ayuan, you didn't have any purpose in making headlines every day before. Why don't you try your best to advertise when you make headlines this time, and promote our "Wanderer" by the way? Anyway, this is not your case.
It’s your first time, you’re in good hands..."
"My dear, Mr. Lu, publicity is a big problem in other small companies, but publicity is not a big problem in our company. Aren't you an advertising expert? Just think of a topic and make headlines for fun.
Is that great? You don’t have to spend money, and you can do publicity... It’s the best of both worlds..." Zhou Shuai also came over to join in the fun.
"Why do you think making headlines is as easy as eating and drinking?" Lu Yuan was depressed. Is this headline so easy to make?
"It may be difficult for others, but does it matter to you? Isn't being in the headlines as simple as eating and drinking water for you?, From September, October, November, December,
How many days do you think it will take to make headlines? No, how many days do you think it will take without making headlines? Ayuan, I think we can break up the meeting and let everyone do their own thing..."
"..." Lu Yuan was speechless when he saw everyone's relaxed expressions.
Making headlines?
Question: How the hell am I going to make headlines?
After all, you need an opportunity to make headlines, okay?
Those headlines before were all inexplicable, but now that they were really on the headlines, Lu Yuan was completely darkened.
"So, how do I make headlines? In what way?"
"Mr. Lu... although we really want to give you some advice and some solutions, but... we don't have the experience you have, so we can't help you..."
"Uh." Lu Yuan scratched his head.
"Didn't you make headlines every day before? Didn't you also make headlines a few days ago?"
"I said I really don't know how to make headlines. I guess you don't believe it...or you think I'm showing off...right?" Lu Yuan looked at everyone.
