On the weekend, the weather was fine and the temperature in Shanghai reached 20 degrees. Many families chose this time to go for a walk in the park and go for an outing.
A hotel in the city was bustling with people, and reporters from newspapers, periodicals, and websites from all over the country gathered together.
"Old Chen, you are here too!"
"Isn't it normal for me to come here? It's you who came here specially from Tianjin."
"Do you know anything?"
"It didn't say anything on the invitation. I guess it's about the movie."
"It's impossible. If it's for publicity, why won't the travel expenses be reimbursed?"
"Old Zhao, come on, come on."
"Don't ask me, I don't know either."
"Aren't you a coward?"
"I asked, but none of the Kiwi employees knew."
"It's quite mysterious."
"I see some people didn't come."
"Well, if I don't tell you anything, I'm too lazy to come. What if I want to do some publicity?"
"We guessed it was related to the movie."
"Who made Qin Xiaobao famous now? My editor-in-chief has to be me."
"I hope there will be big news."
More than thirty reporters were chatting in the conference room. Two days ago, they all received invitation letters from Kiwi. Generally, when reporters are invited in the circle, they will indicate something.
If it is for publicity, some small favors are unavoidable. Those well-known journalists or influential media have to give some additional benefits.
If it is a revelation, there will definitely be no benefit.
In the entertainment industry, artists and the media have always had a love-and-kill relationship.
Celebrities don't like reporters because they always focus on their private lives and negative news, but when they need to promote their works, they cannot do without their help.
For reporters, it is actually very aggrieved. You don’t know what netizens want to see? We don’t want to follow behind. What should we do if the market demands it?
If Qin Xiaobao hadn't caused such a big disturbance a year ago and hadn't written down the reason why his lover came over, I guess not many people would be willing to make the trip.
Even so, after sending invitations to a hundred families, only about thirty people showed up.
"Sister Zheng," in the middle, there are several staff members wearing tiger fish costumes setting up machines.
The person taking the lead was none other than Little Sister Zheng.
"There are already a lot of people in the live broadcast room. Do you want to start broadcasting in advance?"
"Okay, let the company's super tubes get two super hits to gather popularity." Xiao Zheng looked at the time. The press conference started at 10:30, which was only ten minutes away: "How many people will be here?"
"More than three hundred thousand."
"Not bad, early in the morning." Xiao Zheng nodded.
In the live broadcast room of the singing husky, which had not been lit for a long time, water friends were chatting away.
"What kind of treat is this?"
"There seems to be some activity."
"Hey, the door is open."
"Where are we? There are many reporters."
"It's a press conference."
"Awesome, Brother Ha's live broadcasts are all of this standard, it's a bit scary."
"I just came here to ask what happened."
"Where are the people from Hage? If you don't come out yet, I'm leaving."
"Is there a new song released?"
"It's not like we have to hold a press conference to release a new song. I guess it's a new movie."
In a room not far from the conference room, Qin Xiaobao, Hu Ge, Xiang Yang, Liu Minghua and others were sitting there, chatting with relaxed expressions.
"Director Qin, I remember you had a professional host, why didn't you see it today?" Lao Hu wore a dark suit, with the collar buttons open naturally, without a tie or bow tie, which made him look grand without losing his temper.
Chic.
"You're talking about Wang Bingbing, right?" Qin Xiaobao is not bad either. He wears a white turtleneck sweater and his hair is a little messy. He looks particularly energetic: "He has joined the TV series, and he is in Hengdian."
"I see," Lao Hu didn't hesitate. He probably just thought of it and said by the way: "The TV series is good. Director Qin, do you plan to film it in the future?"
"It's hard to say now. If there are suitable opportunities and scripts, it's not impossible to consider it." Qin Xiaobao crossed his arms: "It feels like making a movie is easier."
"You have to get used to it. The requirements for acting in TV dramas are not that high. Actors and directors have a long time to slowly show the charm of the characters. Unlike movies, everything has to be done in a hurry for 90 minutes." Hu Ge, as the two actors
Artists who are involved in both aspects know the difference very well.
"It takes about the same amount of time."
"Generally, movies are longer. Of course, you are an exception." Hu Ge smiled: "Not everyone can complete a movie in less than a month."
"Special circumstances, just an individual case..." Qin Xiaobao couldn't continue mid-sentence, because the next "Buried Alive" can probably be completed quickly.
"Oh!" Lao Hu stretched himself: "If the shooting cycle of each movie is within one month, and the quality can be guaranteed, the actors will be much more comfortable."
"It's impossible. Even if it can be done, it will be deliberately delayed. People always think that only by working slowly can you get good work." Qin Xiaobao shook his head: "The last film, even with my brother and the others joining, was not the same.
Some media are pessimistic."
"Indeed, everyone will have this idea..." Old Hu was still about to say, but the staff knocked on the door and came in:
"Director Qin and Mr. Liu are ready to take the stage."
"Let's go up first!" Qin Xiaobao stood up and pulled up his clothes.
"See you later." Lao Hu didn't get up, he just raised his hand.
The two followed the staff along the corridor to the door of the conference room. As soon as the door opened, click, click, click, click!
The flashlight kept coming on.
Qin Xiaobao didn't waste time. This was not a catwalk show, and the protagonist was not himself.
"I believe you are all curious as to why everyone is invited to come here." After sitting down, he took the microphone and immediately began to speak: "Not all people came, the temple is too small, and some journalist friends don't like it."
"Hehehe!" Some people in the audience laughed.
"All the friends are here. When friends come, they must prepare good wine and good food." Qin Xiaobao looked around the audience: "Today's dishes should be considered state banquet level."
Many reporters exchanged glances with each other, "Hey, you're getting angry with such a loud tone, can you look forward to it?"
"Kiwi has been established for less than a year so far. It can be said to be a very young company. Its artists have always been just me, Phoenix Legend, and Wang Bingbing.
From today on, a new family member will join us, and this press conference is just to introduce this family member to everyone."
The reporters didn't ask any questions. They must have been curious. They talked about the introduction and waited, but things turned upside down during the live broadcast.
"Who is the new member?"
"It can't be Huyu's anchor."
"I think too much, which Huyu anchor can be an artist?"
"Then why does Tiger Fish live broadcast?"
"I wonder if it's my brother."
"Hahaha, you are overthinking, it is possible for Deng Ziqi."
"Who else has worked with Brother Ha?"
"Zhang Bichen?"
"Don't mention that woman."
"I'm so imaginative, it can't be Teacher He Jiong."
"I think it might be Brother Chao and Sun Li, the couple came together."
"Don't make any noise, I can't even hear what's being said."
"???"
After Qin Xiaobao finished speaking, he nodded to the side, and the staff went out: "Everyone knows this new member, and he is very familiar with it. He is more famous than me..."
He stopped, put his two palms in front of him, and measured the distance of about twenty centimeters. Then he tilted his head and considered for three seconds, then suddenly pulled away and made a hug: "About this much."
"Hahaha!" The reporters were amused again.
The reporter who was close did not raise his hand: "Director Qin, don't exaggerate."
"Let's make a bet," Qin Xiaobao looked at him: "If he comes out and everyone agrees, how about you treat everyone here to a cup of coffee?"
The reporter didn't say anything. A cup of coffee costs more than ten yuan, and for forty people, it costs hundreds.
"Reporter Zhang, don't be cowardly," an acquaintance shouted.
Reporter Zhang turned back: "Then I'll give you the opportunity?"
The other person stopped talking.
Qin Xiaobao did not make things difficult for the other party. When he saw the staff coming back, he coughed lightly: "Invite... an artist to appear."
All reporters raised their cameras and turned to the door on the left, and two staff members opened the door together.
