Neither Qin Bailu nor her agency expected that the crew would direct publicity resources towards her, and what was even more unexpected was that the publicity effect would be unexpectedly good.
Even Qin Bailu's own fans were surprised. There had been no movement for half a year, and suddenly there was such a big explosion?
"Tsk tsk, I just discovered today that Sister Lulu is so suitable for wearing cheongsam. It's so amazing. I want to download it as a wallpaper."
"Ahem, I can't survive anymore, not a drop is left."
Qin Bailu's Weibo exploded that night. Naturally, taking this opportunity, Qin Bailu definitely wanted to interact with her fans. Although some fans' words were very explicit, Qin Bailu didn't care. She had come this way all the way and was not afraid.
Others said she was leaning on her breasts and so on.
Qin Bailu became popular, so naturally she wanted to reciprocate the favor. During the interview, she inevitably gave some pre-heating publicity to "Fire 1941".
There are no so-called secrets in the entertainment industry. Qin Bailu also quickly found out that it was Han Fei who decided to use her as the core of the promotion plan against all the opinions. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. She had filmed many movies before and won many awards.
There are few resources, but they are all exchanges of equal value. Han Fei is the first man to reject her but give her benefits.
Even the senior management of Qin Bailu Company called Han Fei and expressed his goodwill for reconciliation. However, in Han Fei's view, this was all nonsense. The entertainment industry is essentially the same as the financial industry, and interests are the eternal topic.
But now that everyone is in the same boat, Han Fei will naturally not refuse people thousands of miles away.
The only advantage of being released on August 1st is that the competitors at the same time are all small-budget films. To put it bluntly, if the funds can last until the filming is completed, it is already very good. How can we care about the competitors?
?
The total budget of "Agni 1941" was 70 million, and there was still more than 6 million left after the final shooting. Compared with other movies of the same period, such a large amount of publicity funds is simply the envy of colleagues. It would be good if they don't bully others, so publicity
The effect is also very significant.
Of course, during this period, the number of moviegoers will be much less than during popular periods. How to attract more viewers into the theater is the key.
In late June, after two months of editing and post-production, the refined version of "Fire 1941" was finally released. Huayi Culture organized senior executives from major theaters to come and watch the film. The effect was quite good.
, the four major theater chains agreed to give a film arrangement rate of more than 40%, and the others originally gave a film arrangement rate of about 30% for Hua Yi's sake.
The next step is to start publicity. Hua Yi's Zhang Jun and Huang Hongguang are the first and second male actors in the film. Naturally, they will have to start appearing on various programs. Qin Bailu's current exposure will inevitably lead to public appearances, even on most local satellite TV
He is even more interested in her than the male lead Zhang Jun.
After Hua Yi's publicity manager made arrangements, he took a malicious look at Han Fei: "Producer Han, I have many program invitations on hand. You are both an actor and a producer, so you should be shouldering the responsibility, right?"
Han Fei could only nod with a wry smile. He could only grit his teeth and push forward in both public and private matters. It was funny to say that, in fact, he had the least publicity photos and soft articles. After all, he was only the third male lead, so it was not easy to snatch him.
The main character has been out of the limelight, but besides Qin Bailu, the one who received the most enthusiastic response from netizens was him.
Even the male lead Zhang Jun sighed with jealousy: "This is a world where faces are judged."
Hua Yi's publicity manager pushed a bunch of notices in front of Han Fei and said sincerely: "Producer Han, I think it's time for you to hire an agent."
Han Fei thought about it. He would definitely become busier and busier in the future. It would be more troublesome if he spent all his energy on these things. Moreover, the agent also has a role, which is to act as a buffer zone between artists and third parties, such as
When attending an announcement, if the artist is not satisfied with anything, if he goes directly to the third party, if the other party does not agree, it is likely to cause conflicts, and future cooperation will inevitably have grudges. Having an agent as a buffer is a good thing for both parties.
Good thing.
Of course, Han Fei must trust this agent.
"Thank you, I will consider it."
Hua Yi's publicity manager was also a smart person. He knew that Han Fei had politely declined his intention to introduce his agent. Although he regretted that such a big favor was not extended, he did not mention it again.
Han Fei had never been in the agent circle, so he didn't know anyone, so he simply called Zhao Mengru.
Zhao Mengru thought for a while after hearing this: "I really know such a person. She was my agent before. Then I went to act in a play. I was afraid of disturbing her, so I terminated the contract with her. She was just in time at that time.
After I got pregnant, I rested at home for a few years. Now my child is in elementary school and I’m preparing to make a comeback.”
"That's great. Master, please make an appointment for us to meet when it's convenient for us. I'll treat you to a drink some other time." Han Fei felt good upon hearing this. Zhao Mengru's agent must be reliable.
After hearing this, Zhao Mengru smiled and said: "Why are you being polite to me? Besides, I should be the one thanking you for giving me such a great favor, old man."
It's true to say that Han Fei has made such a big name in the industry at such a young age, so his development as an agent will definitely be the same.
Suddenly, Han Fei met this woman in a coffee shop. The woman was dressed in a professional suit. She looked very aura, but it was probably because she stayed at home for a long time. She was slightly chubby and was very clean.
She has short hair and looks very neat.
"Hello, I'm Han Fei."
The woman smiled calmly and stretched out her hand: "Hello, I am Jiang Yan. You can call me by my full name, or you can call me Sister Yan, but don't call me..."
"Understood." Han Fei also smiled. At least this agent didn't seem to be a particularly boring agent.
Of course, this is just the first impression. Han Fei also prepared a test question for Jiang Yan, which was actually the announcement material given to him by Hua Yi's publicity manager.
Jiang Yan was not polite. After ordering a cup of coffee, she began to read through the documents. She read the documents very quickly, and even threw some documents aside after just one glance.
Han Fei pointed curiously, but before he could speak, Jiang Yan said with a smile: "These are less competitive third-tier TV stations. They don't do much promotion for you personally or for the film. Food
It’s better to throw it away if it’s tasteless.”
Han Fei nodded secretly, feeling that his satisfaction with her had reached 70%.
In the end, Jiang Yan left two documents and pushed them in front of Han Fei: "I think these two programs are the most suitable for you."
Han Fei took it and took a look at it, and immediately agreed: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation?"
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Jiang Yan stretched out her hand, and a big stone finally fell in her heart.
