In fact, before the movie was released, He Xin was worried about whether the excessive advertising placement in the movie would offend the audience.
After the movie was released, some media and film critics did criticize and ridicule "I Do" for being an advertising film, and there were bad jokes like two men and one woman, and the rich man winning was not in line with values, etc.
Of course, these negative comments were not addressed.
There is no free lunch in the world. Of course, those who don’t get it will not be able to say good things to you. On the contrary, it will magnify the shortcomings of the movie, highlight its existence, and remind you not to forget it next time.
In contrast, the audience's reaction was not as intense as those of the media and film critics. Although too many advertisements have also caused some doubts, everyone's focus is more on the down-to-earth theme of leftover women, and the classics in it.
The lines and plot were talked about, the characters were imitated, the theme song was searched wildly, etc. And when the movie started, the rating on Douban actually reached seven points. Although it has now dropped to 6.8, this is definitely a surprise.
All these have invisibly increased the attention of the movie, and also caused the box office to rise steadily.
The originally planned road show in Shenzhen yesterday was the last stop. It was precisely because the box office was booming and there were no decent movies released this weekend. At the invitation of United Cinemas, the three leading actors once again came to Shanghai, a gathering place for white-collar workers, for their third show.
The second publicity road show. Then tomorrow we will move to Nanjing, which was not originally included in the plan, as the last stop of the road show.
Although "I Do" has been released for more than a week, its popularity is still unabated, especially on a day like today, Saturday, at least five of the nine theaters in Shanghai Cinema are showing the film.
At this time, the host at the scene also took the opportunity to cheer: "Do you think Jiang Qinqin's performance is good?"
"good--"
"Then let's ask her to talk about why she acted so well?"
"Hua Hua Hua..."
There was another round of applause.
"thank you all!"
Jiang Qinqin, holding the microphone, bowed to the audience: "Everyone said that I performed well, and I feel very honored. As for the reason..."
As she said that, she smiled playfully towards the audience and said, "Because I am a leftover woman in my thirties, so I am acting in my true colors!"
"Hahaha!"
Then there was another burst of warm applause.
It has to be said that these days it is rare for female stars to dare to make fun of themselves. Jiang Qinqin’s words have a particularly good effect in every road show. Combined with her original image in the minds of the audience, it has a sense of subversion, but is particularly special.
The down-to-earth atmosphere suddenly shortens the distance between you and the audience.
"There are two outstanding men around you. If you were asked to choose, which one would you choose?" the host asked again immediately.
"What do you think?" Jiang Qinqin pointed the microphone at the audience below.
"Congratulations - new -"
Almost in unison.
He Xin made a face at Lao Duan quite cooperatively.
"Why do you all choose He Xin? Isn't Duan Yihong good?" The host was also quite witty.
"Rich!" the voice of most people.
There were also a few scattered voices in the middle: "He is the best actor!"
The only thing no one said about He Xinshuai was that the two of them looked exactly the same.
"You also missed the most crucial one." Jiang Qinqin continued with a smile, "Do you know what it is?"
The audience did not react for a moment.
"Oh, you are so young!"
"Hua Hua Hua..."
The audience responded with laughter and applause again.
"Of course, what you said doesn't count. He Xin is already a married man, and he is going to be a father soon. It seems that I have to keep going!"
"Hahaha!"
In a joyful atmosphere, after Jiang Qinqin interacted with the audience, the host followed the established procedure and asked the two male protagonists questions.
"Duan Yihong plays Tang Weiwei's first love in the movie. Can you share your first love with all of us?"
Although the questions were designed, Lao Duan still looked a little shy: "First love? As a married man like me, talking about first love with everyone now seems inappropriate for my lover."
"It's okay, let's talk! We will share it with the audience and it will never be spread out." Jiang Qinqin, who has always been very active, took the opportunity to yell.
Although most of them are just chatter on the road, the most important thing about road shows is that they are relaxed and joyful. Because you may be saying the same words every time you do a road show, but it is the first time for the audience you face every time.
In fact, this time we were lucky to have Jiang Qinqin escorting us throughout the whole process. Otherwise, He Xin and Lao Duan were not very good at talking or creating atmosphere. Director Liu Jiang was even more incapable of beating a fart with three sticks, and the scene would definitely have been terrible.
Awkward.
"Well, first love is of course unforgettable and beautiful. In fact, my first love is not a love in the strict sense. It may have failed before it even started..."
"Are you talking about rosé?" the host said suddenly.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
It is no secret that Lao Duan has a crush on Tao Hong. As early as after "Soldier Assault" became popular, this guy revealed his emotional journey on the show.
Of course, Taohong already had a family when he exposed himself, and he himself was married. This may have been a joke for publicity reasons, but in a corner of his heart, there may still be a trace of resentment.
Nowadays, as Lao Duan becomes more and more popular, this secret love joke is almost known to everyone.
Old Duan was obviously a little shy and embarrassed. He finally waited for the scene to calm down a little. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw He Xin looking at the audience with a surprised look on his face: "Hey, Teacher Xu Zheng..."
"coax……"
The audience at the scene turned around to look for it. Even Lao Duan had a look of astonishment. Including the host and Jiang Qinqin on the stage, they all looked towards the auditorium, looking for the naked braised egg or the man wearing a hat.
This was really not planned in advance, especially since this is Shanghai, Baldy Xu’s hometown!
After searching around and finding nothing, everyone finally realized that He Xin was joking. Old Duan was indeed feeling guilty just now and pointed at him with a wry smile.
The host also took the opportunity to say: "It seems that our teacher He Xin can't wait any longer, so we will invite teacher He Xin to talk about his first love."
"My first love is nothing to talk about." He Xin said, spreading his hands.
"Why?"
"Because the audience knows it!"
"Could it be that you and Cheng Hao were your first loves?" The host looked unbelieving.
Lao Duan also counterattacked at this moment: "I don't believe it!"
As he spoke, he asked the audience: "Do you believe it?"
"Do not believe--"
The audience is eager to see what shocking news will be revealed at the scene.
In fact, if there is really explosive information, it would not be revealed on such an occasion, but it is just a routine to interact with the audience.
"Well, I came out of my hometown when I was sixteen. Before I met director Wang Xiaoshuai, I moved bricks on the construction site for three years and delivered express delivery for several months."
He Xin's first work was "Bicycle". He was discovered by Wang Xiaoshuai and has become a legend now.
"Then what?" the host praised.
"Then I got into the Chinese Opera and met Cheng Hao..."
"Wow, first love has created an on-screen couple, a real movie king and movie queen, very romantic!"
The host took the lead in clapping, and there was thunderous applause.
"Finally, let's ask Teacher He Xin to share his thoughts!"
The time is almost up and the road show has come to the last stage.
He Xin took a step forward and bowed deeply to the parents in the audience. After the joke, he was replaced by sincerity: "The movie made everyone a little sour and a little painful, but I still hope that everyone will find something in the movie."
, think about your own views on love, and hope that everyone will always keep a pure heart in love, love bravely, and love hard!"
…
"Oh, I'm starving! Ah Xin, you're treating me!" Jiang Qinqin called out as soon as she got in the car.
I have been to five venues in a row since the afternoon, and I didn't even bother to eat dinner. Fortunately, this is my second roadshow in Shanghai, and the organizer didn't arrange it too late. It was just after nine o'clock.
"Okay, it just so happens that we can also practice it for Lao Duan." He Xin said with a smile.
Next Saturday, the 28th, "Western Wind", which has also been postponed, will be released soon. In fact, the promotion work has already begun, and as the male lead, Lao Duan naturally cannot miss it.
The first half ended, and then the second half continued almost non-stop.
At this time, Lao Duan leaned back in his chair with a tired look on his face and said with a wry smile: "Lao Gao has urged me several times. If I don't go over, I think he will have to curse."
"Thank you, Teacher Duan!" Jiang Qinqin said with a smile.
As he said that, he glanced at He Xin inadvertently. There were three of them on this road show. They were leaving early tomorrow morning, so the last stop meant that only she and He Xin were left.
He Xin happened to look over, and their eyes accidentally touched each other. Seeing the half-smiling look in the other's eyes, He Xin felt as if he was electrocuted, and subconsciously avoided it.
Covering up, he took out his mobile phone and suggested: "Well, how about we go eat hot pot?"
"OK!"
Jiang Qinqin immediately pursed her lips and smiled.
"I don't care, anything is fine." Lao Duan continued.
He Xin flipped through his phone and said, "I remember there is an authentic Chongqing hotpot nearby, on Panyu Road..."
Just as I was halfway through the phone number, a call came in. It was from my wife.
For some reason, he glanced at Jiang Qinqin sitting in the front row with a guilty look, turned slightly sideways, and answered the phone: "Hello..."
"Axin, where are you?"
"Ah?, Mom, I'm in Shanghai..."
Hearing Cheng's mother's voice on the other end of the phone, He Xin was startled at first, then got excited and said hurriedly: "Mom, how are you? What's wrong?"
"Okay, I suddenly have a stomachache. I might be giving birth soon..."
