It’s still the same principle, no matter how good something is, it still needs publicity. This is true for songs, and it’s also true for movies.
In two days, Kiwi made detailed arrangements. Starting from the 28th, the national promotion of "This Man is from the Earth" was officially launched. The cycle lasted for one month, covering Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing... covering three parts of the country.
Twelve cities.
As directors and starring actors, Qin Xiaobao and Leslie Cheung must be there, and Liu Tianwang and other supporting actors will also arrive one after another. The number of sessions each person will attend is different, and the details will be coordinated by Kiwi Tao. There will be more than 100 meetings in 32 cities.
Yes, the two of them alone cannot escape.
The fat director also edited a trailer. Qin Xiaobao was very satisfied after watching it and planned to upload it at the same time on the first day of promotion.
"This Man Came From Earth" took less than three months from planning, preparation, shooting, production, and release, which was a bit rushed.
It makes people feel a little uneasy.
Kiwi also understands, but there is no point in delaying deliberately.
When the lineup was officially announced, it aroused a lot of attention. Many Hollywood films, including actors and scripts, are very anticipated. But looking at the release time, 1-2 years is considered short, and it is common for careers to be released in 3 or 4 years.
Yes, there is some waste of heat.
The structure of two kings, one queen, and five golden supporting roles has made movie fans look forward to it. It will be released in January, which is a seamless connection.
The length of the publicity period has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to kill two birds with one stone.
You still have to give up what you should give up.
The promotion of the movie is much more tiring than the album. It's all road shows, and three or four meetings a day are normal. What's left of the two days? Qin Xiaobao doesn't dare to run around? He needs to adjust well and deal with it in the best possible condition.
The so-called adjustment? In fact, it’s nothing special. He just stays at home and doesn’t have many activities. It’s just to sleep more in the morning.
The next step is to call Bo Ge, Chao Ge and others to ask about the problems they often encounter when promoting this movie and how to deal with them. The person being asked also told them everything.
After the exchange? Xiaobao felt relieved? The publicity meeting was all fans and the audience? There were not many reporters, and the exchanges were with ordinary people? There would not be any particularly difficult problems, plus the king? Brother, they are all veterans,
Even if he is the director? The popularity is good? But if you really want to compare, he is still a supporting actor after all.
Thinking about it this way? The pressure is reduced a lot.
On the 26th, Qin Xiaobao slept happily until 9:30 in the morning. After getting up, he took an apple for breakfast and drove out alone.
Several of the main players have already gone on vacation. After running with him for two consecutive months, they are as tired as a dog. There is still a very busy schedule ahead, so they need to take a breath.
After all, I am the boss, and others are just getting paid.
It's very cold in November. Qin Xiaobao is fully armed and wearing long johns. He can't catch a cold at this time, otherwise he will be in trouble later.
The package was so tight that he didn't look like a young man at all, and I couldn't even identify him. Before leaving the city, I bought three cups of hot coffee and ran all the way to the airport.
He was going to pick someone up. His brother and Lin Xue had nothing to do, so they called and wanted to come over in advance to play.
As the host, Qin Xiaobao must take action in person.
When we arrived at the airport, there was no unexpected delay. After waiting for forty minutes, we saw two figures, one fat and one thin, walking out, each carrying a small bag.
They waved, nodded to each other, didn't say much, and hugged each other when they arrived at the parking lot.
After filming the movie, we haven't seen each other for a while.
"Brother is doing well recently, but Brother Lin feels a little fatter again!"
Leslie Cheung just smiled, and Lin Xue was very excited: "No, I'm already losing weight. I've lost five pounds and I look fatter?"
His Hong Kong Pu Qin Xiaobao was used to hearing this and quickly comforted him: "Maybe it's because of the clothes. It's winter and everyone looks fatter."
After saying that, he started the vehicle: "You didn't even bring a salute?"
"The assistant will bring him here tomorrow. Andy heard that we came here first and was very envious." Leslie Cheung put on his seat belt and took off his hat: "Can I smoke?"
"Whatever." Qin Xiaobao opened the car window without being too particular: "I called him a few days ago and said that the child was sick."
"Well, children are like this in winter." Leslie Cheung, who is already a father, has a deep understanding: "Where should we go now? Your home?"
"My house is not good and I can't live in it. I just have one room, one living room and one bed." Qin Xiaobao skillfully turned the steering wheel, drove out of the airport, and started to accelerate.
"No way," Lin Xue was a little surprised: "How come you, a great director, live in such a small house and don't buy a bigger one? I heard from my brother that the sales of records are pretty good."
"Hahaha, that's not a house to buy, it's to rent. There's no need to rush to buy a house. Housing prices in Shanghai have reached their peak now. There's no need to take advantage. Just take your time."
"Let's go to Sister Sun Li's place for dinner first. I've already made arrangements for the hotel."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Just as he was talking, the phone rang, and it was Sun Li.
My brother took it and turned on the speakerphone.
"Xiaobao, have you received it?" came Sun Li's voice.
"Not yet, the plane is delayed." My brother shouted.
"Huh? You are not Xiaobao, hahaha, you are a brother." The woman's reaction was very sensitive.
Lin Xue thought it was fun and came up to her: "Guess who I am."
"Well...Teacher Lin Xue, there's no need to guess. Didn't I say you two came first?"
Lin Xue looked embarrassed and forgot about it, while the others laughed.
"You're bullying me because I can't speak Chinese well!" Lin Xue yelled.
"This has nothing to do with whether you are good at Mandarin. It's all about IQ." Leslie Cheung was not polite at all. We are old acquaintances and it doesn't matter.
Lin Xue stopped talking and drank coffee quietly.
"By the way, Xiaobao, should you go to the hotel first, or come here directly."
"Go directly. They didn't bring any salutes. You have to go around a circle from the hotel to your home. Now is the time of traffic jam."
"Okay, please be safe on the road. I'll see you all later."
"see you later."
"Hey," my brother saw him put down the phone: "We are visiting Sun Li's house. We should buy some gifts. It's a bit embarrassing to be empty-handed."
"Yes!" Qin Xiaobao forgot: "I want to buy something, you can make up your mind."
"What do demons usually come to your door to give?"
"I don't know. I'm not from Shanghai, and I rarely visit people's homes." Xiaobao shook his head.
"I remember Sun Li has a child," Lin Xue interjected, "How about buying some toys or something."
"I think it's okay, and I'll bring some fruit."
"Well, I have no objection."
When the vehicle arrived in the city, Qin Xiaobao found a shopping mall and stopped. He spent twenty minutes choosing a few gifts, then set off again and arrived at Brother Chao's home.
I just rang the doorbell and went upstairs. The person who opened the door was not Sun Li or Deng Chao, but Chen He!
"Oh, oh, oh, I've been waiting all morning and it's finally here. Please come in."
Leslie Cheung tilted his head: Are you in the wrong place?
