Chapter 264 The hidden benefits of top directors! (Please subscribe!)

It took about a week to run the publicity, and the last city was Jiangsu Province.

After coming out of the provincial TV station, the crew had a meal at a local restaurant and then went straight to the airport.

"Then I'll leave first. Goodbye."

Lin Xuan is going back to the mountain city and is not on the same flight as the others.

"Director Lin, goodbye."

Everyone stood up and said goodbye.

"Goodbye, Brother Lin Xuan."

Liu Yifei waved reluctantly.

During the week of promotion, apart from the interaction on the TV station, she had almost no personal communication with Lin Xuan.

On the one hand, her mother Liu Xiaoli is very strict.

It would be too wasteful to dismantle it directly. Keep it and it would take up space.

If one of the leading actors falls, not only will all the filmed content be forfeited, but the subsequent effects and injury compensation alone will bankrupt the crew.

Lin Xuan walked to the monitor, pulled up a chair and sat down.

After chatting for a while, the movie continued shooting.

Lin Xuan is responsible for the mainland market, and Liu Dehua is responsible for the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.

…………

With these two kings in charge, the movie's box office performance will not be bad.

"You have a role tomorrow. If you don't come back, I will call you to hurry you up."

I don’t know what to do with this building that cost more than two million.

"Director Zhang, I'm back."

He could naturally feel Liu Yifei's resentment, but he just had no intention of paying attention to her.

"During the promotion, the host asked us what we thought of director Yimou. She and I both said a lot of good things."

Zhang Yimou smiled: "I'll treat you that night to thank you."

"Goodbye Sissy."

Leaving aside other places, no actor in the Mainland has stronger appeal than him.

Zhang Yimou returned to his serious look.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Shancheng Airport.

Lin Xuan also stared at the monitor intently.

On the other hand, Lin Xuan was very busy and had no time to chat with her.

"Your drama has been promoted in the Spring Festival Gala, so the ratings will not be bad."

The new studio is located in the Chashan Bamboo Sea in Shancheng. The bamboo forest here is dense and the bamboos are tall and tall, which is very suitable for the scenes in the play.

Lin Xuan went to the hotel to put down his luggage and took a car directly to the set.

"Just like that, go on variety shows and do activities, nothing new."

She had a lot to say, but she didn't have a chance to speak.

The stroller can only be looked at but not driven, but the micro-tank is more interesting.

Lin Xuan reached out and took a piece of fruit.

Zhang Yimou nodded: "Of course I remember, the little girl in "Happy Time" was chosen by me myself."

The one who fights on the ground is his real body, and the one who flies into the air is his avatar.

This is not because Zhang Ziyi is playing a big role, but because Wia is too high in this scene.

Zhang Yimou took off his headphones.

Zhang Yimou chose him as the leading actor because of this.

In the camera, the little girl played by Zhang Ziyi is fighting with a group of sword and shield soldiers, fighting from the sky to the ground.

The crew specially rented two cranes to assist in filming.

"How is the promotion of the TV series going?"

In normal martial arts dramas, the hanging height is two or three meters at most, but this time it was at least ten meters.

Zhang Yimou said a correct nonsense. Which of his TV series has worse ratings?

Although Diaowei Ya has been tested by martial arts before, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

"I keep my word. One week is one week."

The scenes in Peony Square have been filmed.

Lin Xuan smiled and waved goodbye to her.

"By the way, the heroine of this drama is called Dong Jie. Director Zhang, do you still remember her?"

So let alone Zhang Ziyi, Lin Xuan also had to use a stand-in. Even if you want to show off your strength, the crew won't agree.

After filming this scene, the stunt double made a mistake.

Lao Mouzi picked up the walkie-talkie, scolded him, and then started filming again.

After he finished his work, Lin Xuan asked curiously:

"Where did these martial artists find them? They are so professional that they can shoot normally even when hanging in the air."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "These are not martial arts, they are armed police!"

"what?"

Lin Xuan looked surprised.

Zhang Yimou explained to him with a smile, and then Lin Xuan became sour.

The hidden benefits of top directors are beyond the imagination of ordinary directors.

Because this scene was so difficult that even professional martial arts practitioners were afraid to take part in it, so they had to use only a few people, and the resulting effects were simply unwatchable.

Zhang Yimou had no choice but to find relevant leaders in Shancheng to respond.

The local departments quickly coordinated and finally contacted the Armed Police Force and mobilized 200 armed police officers and soldiers to help with the filming.

These problems are solved immediately.

Seeing Lin Xuan's envious expression, Zhang Yimou came over and whispered:

"You are now also a big director of commercial films. When you encounter trouble, you must make good use of these privileges."

Lin Xuan was interested in this topic and asked a few more questions.

Once your status reaches a certain level, these privileges will come to you automatically.

Lin Xuan is surrounded by blessings and does not know how to be blessed.

For example, the TV series "The Golden Family" was advertised in the Spring Festival Gala.

If it were another producer, even if the show was funded by CCTV, the Spring Festival Gala director would not dare to do this.

When it got dark, the crew announced the end of work.

In the hotel room, Lin Xuan sat on the bed and massaged Zhang Ziyi.

"There are not many lenses available today, and we have to use wires tomorrow."

Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but complain, feeling like her whole body was falling apart.

Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing. Everyone was used to Lao Mouzi's shooting efficiency.

The next day, the crew resumed normal filming.

Captain Lin pretended to be a master of martial arts and rescued the little girl from the Yamen prison.

The two of them were chased on the road, and Capt. Lin desperately tried to save him many times. The little girl pretending to be blind saw his appearance and gradually fell in love with him.

…………

In early June, the promotion and distribution of the TV series was officially launched.

Several TV stations that have bought the copyright will release some interview clips or TV series trailers every day.

The network department of Lin Xuan Studio also began to use trumpet accounts to promote and guide on the forum website.

The publicity campaign was huge, and the related popularity began to soar for a while.

This is normal operation before a TV series starts broadcasting.

However, in Lin Xuan's view, the publicity resources are somewhat overflowing.

Because even if the publicity department does nothing, those online media and print media have already started to follow suit and report on it.

But compared with traditional publicity methods, their publicity methods are eccentric.

They did not discuss Lin Xuan's transformation or the actor's acting skills, but instead cared about Liu Yifei.

A little girl who is only fourteen years old can partner with Lin Xuan in her first drama.

As long as you guide the topic in this direction, the heat will naturally come.

Again, the audience likes scandals and gossip more than normal publicity.

As the trailers were aired one after another, Liu Yifei's image in the drama also appeared in the public eye.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that this little girl was very pretty.

She was able to cooperate with Lin Xuan when she debuted. Does her family have a background?

Or, does Lin Xuan have some special hobby that no one knows about?

As the incident unfolded, Liu Yifei became more and more popular.

Soon, savvy netizens began to reveal her identity.

All kinds of true and false information are mixed together.

Netizens don’t care whether it’s true or false, as long as the title is exciting enough.

Liu Yifei has not yet enjoyed the joy of becoming famous, but she feels the troubles of becoming famous in advance.

Every time Lin Xuan returns to the hotel from the crew, he always receives text messages from her.

Obviously, the little girl was not mentally prepared.

Faced with these rumors, I don't know what to do.

Lin Xuan couldn't bear it and was ready to comfort her with a few words.

But typing on the phone is too troublesome, so let her make the call directly.

The treatment was upgraded from text messages to phone calls.

The moment he answered the phone, he heard Liu Yifei's laughter.

"In such a good mood? It seems I don't need to comfort you."

"No. Of course I'm in a good mood when I get the call from you. I can't become more sad." "Haha... tell me, what are you worried about?"

Lin Xuan ate dinner, listening to her talk slowly about what was on her mind, and then gave her guidance.

Going from being unknown to suddenly becoming famous definitely requires a process of adaptation.

Her current psychological changes couldn't be more normal.

As for dirty words on the Internet, Lin Xuan gave her two pieces of advice.

The first one is to open any forum for TV series he has filmed and see how many negative comments there are.

After reading this, she should understand that no one can be loved by everyone.

Even works with rave reviews have tens of thousands of negative reviews.

So don't worry about these comments at all.

For the second suggestion, Lin Xuan quoted Mr. Yang Jiang’s famous saying.

Your problem is mainly that you don't read much and think too much.

If you have this time to sigh sadly, why not calm down and read a few good books.

Lin Xuan didn't know if these suggestions had any effect.

But what is certain is that chatting with her every day makes the little girl feel much more relaxed.

Soon, the time came to June 15th.

Lin Xuan returned to the hotel, turned on the TV in advance, and then went to wash up and have breakfast.

Ten minutes before the TV series started, the cell phone on the table rang.

Since the relaxation of treatment, Liu Yifei has been looking forward to Shu and has made more and more demands.

The TV series started airing today, but the two of them were thousands of miles apart, and the little girl actually came up with a weird trick to make a phone call and watch TV at the same time.

Two episodes of a TV series, plus nearly two hours of commercials, will cost a lot of money just on the phone bill.

"It starts in two minutes, Kaz..."

"Are the potato chips delicious?"

"Let me eat one for you to hear, Kaze, Kaze, crunchy, delicious... Hahaha!"

Lin Xuan's head was full of black lines.

"The psychological counseling ends here. Don't bother me from tomorrow on."

"Hehe, I know."

She calls Lin Xuan every day.

You can feel that Lin Xuan is getting more and more impatient.

Liu Yifei chose to leave it as soon as it was good.

The two chatted for more than ten nights, and she was very satisfied.

"When the petals leave the flower, the subtle fragrance remains..."

The opening song "Secret Fragrance" started playing on the TV.

Liu Yifei listened carefully to the end and commented: "I still like this version."

Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.

The tender version is a Spring Festival Gala special. Anyone who has watched this show will like the original version.

The TV series opens with Jin Yanxi and Bai Xiuzhu chatting and bickering on the lawn.

Through dialogue, briefly introduce the relationship between the two people.

Childhood sweethearts, well matched.

In everyone's eyes, they are a match made in heaven, and Bai Xiuzhu thinks so too.

However, falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless.

While others looked at her, Jin Yanxi only felt noisy.

The show was filmed a year ago.

Lin Xuan watched the TV, recalling her current situation, and said abruptly:

"I didn't even notice that you were so thin before. What did you eat this year to make you gain weight so much?"

"........."

The sound of eating potato chips disappeared.

After a while, Liu Yifei's angry voice came.

"You just gained weight. I'm growing now, so of course I have to eat more. You're so annoying."

Her tone sounded a little angry, but Lin Xuan smiled happily.

The scene changed. Jin Yanxi went out for a drive and met Leng Qingqiu at the entrance of an alley.

Lin Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't say anything, quietly enjoying the plot.

Under the moonlight, a girl wearing a blue school uniform and two pigtails waved her hands in the air.

Simple, innocent, cute...

In an instant, countless beautiful adjectives appeared on her.

Dong Jie's face is not pretty, but her innocent temperament makes her even more lovable.

Jin Yanxi fell in love with her at first sight and tried every means to find out her whereabouts.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and the two met again in a flower shop.

You look at the flowers in the sun, and I look at you not far away.

This beautiful picture accurately touches the ignorant and romantic hearts of boys and girls.

Jin Yanxi chased her out in the heavy rain and finally found the girl's home, but she caught a cold.

Bai Xiuzhu came to visit and shed tears of distress.

However, Jin Yanxi was most annoyed by this kind of crying girl, so she treated her coldly.

"Remember this scene? You couldn't cry for a long time, and you had to rely on me for guidance."

"A great teacher makes a great disciple, I think it's a good performance."

"You're so thick-skinned, and you're still a disciple..."

The first episode ended quickly.

The ending song is "Let Her Land" sung by the princess.

"That sounds great. If I had known that you and the princess knew each other, I would have asked you to get an autograph for me."

"When you become famous, go and get it yourself."

The two chatted for a while and the second episode started playing.

Jin Yanxi tried her best and finally found Leng Qingqiu's school.

After some entanglement, he finally learned the girl's name. However, facing a young man like him, Leng Qingqiu didn't give him a good look.

A handsome young man with a lot of money, and a beautiful female student from a poor family.

Looking back at this plot, the taste of Mary Sue is really strong.

If it were placed more than ten years later, this plot would most likely be criticized to death.

However, in recent years, Mary Sue dramas have not yet become popular, which is why Qiong Yao and Zhang Henshui's works are so popular.

The same goes for Korean idol dramas and Taiwanese idol dramas.

Jin Yanxi is a scumbag. He just met his true love, but later got involved with an actress, and was caught on the spot by Bai Xiuzhu.

"Why did she come to your room in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't you all see it? I was chatting with my friends."

"You are not allowed to talk to someone like her."

"Can't I have friends of the opposite sex?"

"Others can, but you can't."

"why not?"

"If I say no, I just can't!"

Lin Xuan snorted coldly: "This part is well acted, Bai Xiuzhu's unruly and willful character is played to the fullest."

Liu Yifei was just happy for a few seconds before he added: "As expected of her true character."

"Liar, I'm not as willful as she is..."

Forcibly dragging me to watch TV with you, isn't this considered willful?

Forty minutes later, the second episode of the TV series ended.

"Okay, I'm done watching the TV series. I'm done."

"Wait a minute and check out the online reviews."

Lin Xuan put down his phone, turned on his computer, and logged into the forum website.

The number of discussion threads about the TV series has exceeded 1000.

Lin Xuan flipped through it quickly and found that most of the content was about Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu.

When it comes to Bai Xiuzhu's posts, the number of them is far less than those of the two.

Even though she appeared first, the character of the arrogant young lady is still no match for the innocent Bai Yueguang.

The photo of Leng Qingqiu lowering his head and sniffing lilies began to spread like a virus.

"You were worried about what to do if you met irrational fans after becoming famous. Congratulations, your worries are unnecessary."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but tease her.

Liu Yifei was extremely angry.

"This is only the first two episodes, I will definitely be able to turn around later..."

There was no confidence in what he said, so he hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

Lin Xuan had long expected this situation.

Counting from the launch of "Golden Pink Family", no female star will be more popular than Dong Jie in the next three months.

Therefore, she is synonymous with "White Moonlight".
