Qin Xiaobao was very fast. From screening to shooting to editing, it took less than four days. He only had less than five hours of sleep every day, and slept on the set and in the post-production room. He finally caught up with the progress.
On the 26th, I went to bed at 7pm and didn’t wake up until 12pm the next day, taking a good rest.
After washing up and facing the mirror, dark circles under the eyes cannot disappear just by sleeping.
Fortunately, the hurry-up-and-down work was successfully completed, and I finally let go of all the worries.
Hundreds of people have spent eight figures working hard for half a month. If he fails, things will be very serious.
After the film was completed yesterday afternoon, I asked several editors to work overtime and watch the finished film alone, and the response was very good.
Then, new promotional copy appeared on "Supernatural Family" Weibo and major website forums.
"Three hundred thousand winners have been born, and a short film will be played as an easter egg after the movie. Please look forward to it."
It also comes with a video.
It’s the stuff editors wear headphones and get scared.
There is also a subtitle, spend one movie ticket and watch two movies.
It is inevitable to be scolded. As long as you analyze it a little and understand the whole story, you can easily find that "Supernatural Family" treats the majority of the novel contestants as leeks.
4.57 million submissions, excluding foreigners and repeated submissions, the remaining half is calculated as 2 million.
Fifty-one tickets have a potential box office of 100 million. The publicity expenses spent have not yet made a lot of money for ordinary movie fans who know the movie because of the novel submission.
The method is a bit unkind, but I didn't say you have to watch the movie to know the result. It's just that the text version will be released a few days later, which is not illegal.
No matter how reasonable it is, there are still people who insist on it and attack it non-stop based on this point.
It might be opponents who were released at the same time, it might be big Vs who want attention, or people who simply don't want to see Qin Xiaobao's good deeds, or it might be... myself.
In this regard, the propaganda department did not panic and had already prepared countermeasures.
In response to these remarks, they produced several graphs with data, some videos of editors working all night, and long articles.
The general meaning is that this event was originally held unexpectedly. It only took 20 days from preparation to completion. It received a total of 4.57 million submissions and could complete the receipt, review, selection, adaptation, filming, and coordination within one month.
A series of works such as screenings have surpassed 99.99% of similar competitions.
The trolls also went out again to continue their efforts to fan the flames for the premiere.
Fortunately, regardless of their origin, these negative remarks were directed at the film's publicity department. Qin Xiaobao, as the instigator, could safely hide behind the scenes and not be criticized.
He is just a director, how bad can he be?
After two days of rest, Qin Xiaobao set off again, boarded the plane with Xiaoming and two assistants, and headed to Fuzhou, which was the last stop before the premiere promotion.
When we arrived, only a few staff members were in Fuzhou. Chen He, Wang Bingbing and others were still in Xiamen and had to arrive at night.
There are still a few hours to spare before meeting up.
The advertised cinema is located in Sanfangqixiang at Dongjiekou. It is a 5A-level scenic spot and a building complex that combines history and modernity. It not only has antique buildings, various bronze statues of ancient people, stone tablets, but also a McDonald's.
Stores like Starbucks.
The most interesting thing is that on the roadside, an armful of thick wood is used as a chair.
I tasted the local specialties of fish balls and meat swallows, which tasted pretty good. I had lunch at a hot pot restaurant, a 299 seafood set, and salmon sashimi, which none of the five of us could finish. In the scenic area, the price is very reasonable.
So kind.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the hotel nearby and gathered in the room.
"Meeting!" Qin Xiaobao waved.
Xiaoming and others took their seats.
"Manager Xiaoming will tell you about the content of this battle. Everyone is welcome."
Bang bang bang bang!
"Seriously, don't laugh." Xiaoming stood up and glared at the makeup artist, who swallowed his voice and twitched his shoulders.
"Today is April 28, which is also Wang Bingbing's birthday."
The two assistants understood what was going on.
"As an artist of our company, Miss Bingbing has always been diligent and hard-working," Xiaoming said with a serious face, "She has made a great contribution to Kiwi. She even traveled outside for her birthday, which is really hard.
So Mr. Liu decided to give her a surprise.
At this time, they were on their way from Xiamen and had to attend a promotional meeting nearby in the evening.
Chen He and Sister Sun Li were all pretending to be stupid. Everyone knew that today was Wang Bingbing's birthday, but no one pointed out that it was just an ordinary day.
So, you get it!"
Qin Xiaobao received a WeChat message from Wang Bingbing on his mobile phone early in the morning. He had been looking for something to talk about. When he asked her, she said it was okay. Of course he remembered that it was his girlfriend's birthday.
When Wang Bingbing ended the chat, she was obviously a little unhappy. How could you forget my birthday? Qin Xiaobao could only say sorry in his heart.
A few days ago, he had discussed with everyone about giving her a surprise.
So I secretly called Chen He and asked them not to mention birthday-related topics and just pretend to be stupid.
Sun Li happily participated and just sent him a few photos. The young lady was very disappointed.
Because there will be more people participating, Xiaoming changed the organizer to Mr. Liu to explain, which made sense both emotionally and logically.
"The plan is like this. Before coming here, I have booked a music bar here in Fuzhou, which can accommodate more than two hundred people." Xiaoming was talking about Qin Xiaobao's plan: "The movie promotion in the evening is the last stop.
In addition to celebrating Ms. Wang Bingbing’s birthday, I also want to express my condolences to everyone.
More than 30 people will come over from Xiamen, arriving at about six o'clock, and Director Qin and I will participate in the evening promotion together.
Someone will cooperate with you. Go to the music bar first and help decorate it with balloons, ribbons, etc.
After the press conference, Director Qin will deliberately say that he will have a late-night snack and then bring people over..."
The plan is simple and not difficult at all.
"Where's the cake? It's been ordered."
"Of course, the big three-layer cake will be delivered in the evening. Please be careful not to damage it."
"I'm not a child, but I want to give you a gift."
"See this for yourselves. It doesn't matter if you give me something small. It's mainly about your kindness." Qin Xiaobao said: "Don't fix those expensive and impractical things. Just get some beautiful masks, rubber bands and the like."
"Director Qin, you two have such a good relationship, please tell me secretly what I am sending you."
"Haha, guess what!"
"It's still a secret."
"Okay, if nothing happens, you can go there early. Xiaoming, please send the address and phone number to them and prepare in advance."
