"Shocked! Qin Xiaobao and Wang Bingbing boldly held hands in the show to break the breakup rumors."
"The confession in "Suddenly Became the Boss" is for movie hype or is it the truth?"
"Qin Xiaobao claims that having you in this life is enough."
"Hu Ge: Shouldn't I have joined this show in the first place?"
"If the show spreads dog food, is it possible that good things are about to happen?"
"..."
On January 8, "Suddenly Became the Boss" quickly became a hot topic after it was aired. The two of them were like each other in the variety show, changing their previous low-key attitude.
Wang Bingbing had just arrived. After meeting Qin Xiaobao, she gave him a warm hug, and the latter held hands and never let go.
The program team edited a lot of scenes of the two of them looking at each other, as well as scenes of Qin Xiaobao taking care of his girlfriend. Almost the entire episode was full of pink looks between the two.
CP fans who watched it said it was expert and enjoyable.
The audience and reporters began to speculate about the last sitting position of the two, that is, the group photo that looked like a wedding certificate photo at the entrance of the supermarket, and suspected that it was hinting at something.
They called Kiwi Tao one after another and discussed it on Weibo Tieba and other places.
There is also a small episode. A somewhat lonely emoticon of Lao Hu became popular on the Internet. He was leaning on the door, tilting his head, and his eyes showed three parts envy, four parts helplessness, two parts amusement, and one part pity.
casual.
The reason was that several people had just finished working, and he was a little tired and in a state of relaxation.
It happened that the scene opposite was of Wang Bingbing wiping Qin Xiaobao's sweat, so it was over-interpreted.
Some netizens are watching the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. They always think that Qin and Hu are the true love, or they use this matter to urge marriage.
Let Hu Ge become a hot search along with the dividends.
While the outside discussion was in full swing, Kiwi responded and announced on its official blog: A press conference will be held in Shanghai on January 9, and Qin Xiaobao will attend.
A layer of stone stirs up a thousand waves.
All reporters in China know that "Let the Bullets Fly" is being promoted in full swing. This press conference will be held after the program caused such a big disturbance.
It is impossible to invite them over alone to inform them of the movie release information, because they have not received any red envelopes, which means there is big news.
This makes me very angry. I have to work overtime before the Chinese New Year. I know you are not interested in drinking, but you still have to rush here.
Competitors of the Spring Festival movie stalls are quite helpless.
Your three-axe is quite powerful.
First let the two protagonists, plus the actors from the movie who regularly appear in variety shows, take the lead, then the Police Day promotional video is released, and they are still related to the director and actor, and finally there is a bombshell, announcing their relationship.
I really have your Qin Xiaobao.
These three things are probably worth the publicity cost of a small goal, or even more.
But I can’t help but envy it. Apart from variety shows, the other two programs cannot be copied.
I can only watch "Let the Bullets Fly" dominate the screen.
This is not only a matter of popularity, but also the most important issue is the film schedule.
Qin Xiaobao has Wanda's support, so the film schedule of this theater chain cannot be low. Other theater lines are also looking for people to serve. Where the audience and netizens pay attention, the resources of which film will be relatively improved.
No one wants to do something that loses money.
Everyone is obviously looking forward to "Let the Bullets Fly", so if you have to let your theaters support a work that has received little attention, isn't it a financial problem?
Qin Xiaobao kept a low profile here, and the whole Internet was looking for him. He did not attend the fourth road show in Hangzhou, so he quietly drove back to the Magic City for a meeting.
At tomorrow's press conference, he will announce that the two have obtained the certificates, and Wang Bingbing will not be coming.
My main concern is that if too many reporters arrive, it will be endless. Anyway, it only lasts twenty minutes. I will talk for ten minutes first, and then give reporters a chance to ask questions. Any more will be fine.
Until we click, if we don’t set a time, I believe reporters can ask questions all day long without taking a break.
Don’t be afraid of saying that you don’t have enough materials and your trip will be in vain.
Even if you simply say on Weibo that we have received the certificate and attach a photo, the effect will still be there.
Why do people have to come in person?
It's a movie.
During this meeting, someone from Wanda came up with a key issue.
From January 10th to January 16th, that is, one week before the Chinese New Year, theaters were closed and no new films were released.
The previous work has come to an end and lacks follow-up, but the new work is full of energy and ready to hit the first day of the new year.
So, he asked what would happen if "Let the Bullets Fly" was released within a week.
This got everyone thinking.
During the Spring Festival, normal office workers basically have to return on the seventh and eighth day of the Lunar New Year, which means that the real prime time is only about seven days.
It’s just that compared to other holidays, the Spring Festival is a time when the whole country basically rests, and families can travel and watch movies, so the box office will be much higher than usual.
Early release has advantages and disadvantages.
The benefits are self-evident. There are no new films during the week's gap, and the major theater chains are in a state of having nothing to cook. A film with an investment of 500 million will be launched online, and it will definitely go all out to hit it, and the box office will definitely not be bad.
If we can get good reputation and evaluation, we will surely be the best in the next Spring Festival period and have a huge advantage.
The same applies to the downside.
If the audience doesn't like it, there will be negative reviews on the Internet, which is equivalent to giving up the box office that the premiere can get.
Originally there might have been 200 or 300 million, but in the end it was only tens of millions. Adding them up, we suffered a loss.
Of course, I don't have too many worries about "Let the Bullets Fly". It's a three-billion-dollar project, so how can I not have confidence in the quality?
But there are other worries.
First, the filing time is very short, so if you want to do something, you have to act immediately.
But the weekend will still be three days later, and if it is released on a normal working day, the data may not be very good.
Think about a movie with a 500 million investment and a dozen stars, but the box office on the first day was only 30 million. That would make you laugh to death.
Moreover, your opponent has the opportunity to understand you and develop an attack method.
The domestic navy is still very powerful.
Furthermore, there is a very important point, piracy!
There's really no way to stop this.
After all, there are still some people who are reluctant to enter the cinema, which will divert a lot of audiences.
The sooner it is released, the sooner the movie can be seen online.
Even though it was a candid photo, the impact was there after all.
There were no disputes in the meeting, everyone was expressing their opinions and analyzing the pros and cons.
This is a bit like Schrödinger's cat.
Until you lift the lid, you never know what the outcome will be.
After four hours of discussion, a conclusion was reached.
That is,
Raise the file!
As of today, many people have taken an early vacation. A week of exclusivity is very tempting and full of savings. In addition to the Spring Festival holiday, a movie has half a month of prime time at most. How to maximize the benefits is the top priority.
There is no doubt that "Let the Bullets Fly" is good to watch. It was promoted for 20 days in the early stage and was very vigorous. Even if it is temporarily postponed, I believe the result will not be bad.
As a businessman, you must have a sense of adventure.
one word,
Dry!
Once the decision was made, the entire team immediately started taking action, and all relevant materials, soft articles, and publicity were kept up.
...
The next morning, Qin Xiaobao woke up at home. Yaya had already gone to work, and he was left in the house...and two cats that were lazing on the cat rack and paying no attention to him.
He went up and teased him for a while, but he didn't show his teeth and was indifferent to him.
The two cats are very affectionate and can't get close to the two young ladies. They will take the initiative to approach them when they are sitting on the sofa or lying on the bed, begging to be touched and caressed.
The male master is very cold to him, even if he gets a cat teasing stick, the only thing he is interested in is the cat strip.
Needless to say, Yaya must have fed two fat cats before going out, and Qin Xiaobao did not bother to do so.
There is breakfast on the table. After eating, turn on the computer.
Speculations about whether he and Wang Bingbing are getting married are still hot, especially on Weibo. The latest content must be about movie promotion. There are tens of thousands of messages below, all on Aite, asking him to say something.
While idle, Qin Xiaobao typed a few words: At two o'clock in the afternoon, follow my live broadcast room. There is only one truth.
Tiger Fish must not be missed. Since the schedule is to be promoted, reporters alone cannot do it, because many people do not pay attention to the news, and the live broadcast must be done together. There are risks in taking melons, so please buy movie tickets.
As for celebrity friends, those who are familiar with them are already aware of the situation and are always ready to cooperate with the performance. Those who are not familiar with them will not ask at this time. If Aite's blessing is wrong, it will be quite embarrassing.
So Qin Xiaobao didn't receive any calls. They all know that for publicity, anything can be used as a means.
At noon, Xiaoming came over with his makeup artist and went through the process while applying makeup.
When we arrived at the hotel, more than 200 reporters from all over the country were already waiting for us in the large conference room.
This is the last wave of performance gains this year.
All major TV stations, TV stations, portals, magazines, etc. have sent their respective representatives to come, so no one will miss it.
The conference room was extremely lively. Laptops were connected to wifi, cameras and voice recorders were ready. Colleagues on the other side of the computer were also ready to release the latest news at any time.
"Lao Zhang, let's go smoke a cigarette."
When the two veteran reporters arrived at the aisle outside, many of their colleagues were also puffing away their words. There were still twenty minutes before the press conference started.
After nodding and saying hello to the others, one of them took out Huazi, bang, took out a lighter and lit it.
Lao Zhang took a deep breath from the cigarette and slowly exhaled: "Not bad, I've already smoked Huazi."
"I bought this specially to show off my appearance today. What do you think the situation is going to be like today? You won't set off smoke bombs, right?"
"It's basically impossible," Lao Zhang flicked the ashes from his cigarette: "I specifically looked for information from the past. Kiwis didn't hold many press conferences, but every time there was great information, such as Hu Ge joining, my brother buying shares, and useful information.
There is such a big battle today, and if we trick everyone into coming here without saying anything, just to promote the movie, the consequences will be huge."
"You are right. Director Qin posted a Weibo message this morning, saying that there is only one truth. Has he really registered?"
"High probability," Lao Zhang lowered his voice. Although it was not necessary because he would know it later, it was just a habit: "I went to ask the staff of that variety show before, and it took a lot of money..."
He rubbed his fingers and continued.
"The relationship between the two of them is so good that they are as good as each other, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Then why didn't I read your newspaper?"
Lao Zhang glanced at him: "There is no evidence, and what our editor-in-chief means is to follow the filming for a while to see if there are any unexpected gains."
The reporter on the side nodded knowingly. If he could take a photo of the two of them going in and out together, it would be more reliable than the so-called gossip and inside information.
"In the end, I couldn't find anyone at all, and my money was wasted." Lao Zhang felt very regretful and put out the cigarette butt: "Let's go, we're almost in."
"OK."
At two o'clock, the press conference started on time. Kiwi CEO Liu Minghua and today's protagonist Qin Xiaobao appeared at the same time.
Click, click, click, the sound of flashing lights is endless.
"Director Qin, are you going to announce the marriage today?"
"Director Qin, may I ask why Wang Bingbing didn't come?"
"Director Qin..."
Reporters all like to hold up their microphones and shout, as if not doing so would be quite unprofessional.
However, live broadcast platforms such as Huyu, Tencent, and iQiyi simultaneously broadcast the real-time conditions of the scene, and some celebrities secretly enjoyed themselves online.
Qin Xiaobao looked relaxed, dressed in a black suit, and sat down at the table.
"Everyone, please be quiet," Liu Minghua shouted several times before Leng Xia calmed down: "Welcome to all journalists to attend the press conference held by Kiwi.
There are two pieces of news to be announced today..."
Mr. Liu paused for a moment: "The first news is about the 600 million movie "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Director Qin, starring Leslie Cheung, Jiang Wen, Ge You and other actors. During the promotion period, the majority of netizens and fans were looking forward to it, so
It will premiere in advance at 12 o'clock tomorrow night."
Liu Minghua said the word "premiere" very accurately and would not be mistaken for a screening.
The scene was quiet for a while, and the chatter of discussion immediately started. This was definitely big news.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the dominant film was suddenly released, which surprised everyone.
"real or fake?"
"Damn it, go check out Maoyan, tickets are already being sold."
"Wow, I have been looking forward to this movie for a long time, and I can actually see it in advance."
"Stop talking, buy a ticket."
"Director Qin Xiaobao's works are still trustworthy."
Although the information that broke was somewhat different from what the reporters expected, the problem was quickly discovered.
"I would like to ask Director Qin, is it because he is worried about competition that he raised the file?"
"Of course not," Qin Xiaobao shook his head: "From the information we collected, there are indeed many fans who are looking forward to the movie, and many people have already started to take vacation at this time, so why not meet everyone earlier?"
"Director Qin, which movie in the Spring Festival schedule do you think is a threat to you?"
"They are all powerful and strong opponents."
"Director Qin, would you like to ask if the release date has been prepared for a long time or is it a last-minute decision?"
"How should I say, it's an idea?" Qin Xiaobao joked: "Let's adapt to the situation according to the situation."
"Director Qin, what was the estimated box office for the week before that year?"
“The more, the merrier.”
The questions and answers went very quickly. Many of Qin Xiaobao's answers were ambiguous and he would not give absolutely accurate answers. Everyone was used to it.
At this time, it was twenty minutes into the press conference, and it was also twenty minutes after "Let the Bullets Fly" was released on the ticket sales platform.
A reporter was surprised to find: Damn it, pre-orders have exceeded 10 million.
"Director Qin," the reporter held up his mobile phone: "The real-time box office on Maoyan shows that your work has exceeded 10 million."
There was a sigh at the scene, this data is too terrible.
"Really?" Qin Xiaobao said with a smile: "Thank you for your support. I believe that if you are willing to go to the cinema, you will never be disappointed."
We chatted for a while at the box office.
Qin Xiaobao took the initiative and released his ultimate move: "Next, announce another thing!"
