This man knows how to hype

Chapter 328 Investment Wizards and Great Intelligence

three days later.

Cheng Guangzu, together with Yongsheng and his group who arrived later, left the capital city satisfied.

They have to go back and prepare for the casting.

When it comes to casting, Xu Xiyu also specifically reminded them to find two young Hong Kong actors with good image, good character and good acting skills to play the young Chen Yongren and the young Liu Jianming.

It is difficult for newcomers in Hong Kong entertainment to stand out now, but these two roles may help the two newcomers become familiar faces. As for whether they can become popular in the future, it depends on their luck.

Xu Xiyu even talked about how to seamlessly connect the different age groups of the two characters through the lens language of "taking photos".

To be honest, this scene in "Infernal Affairs" is still very classic.

In response, Cheng Guangzu naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

If Xu Xiyu hadn't reminded them, they really might not have done so. They would most likely have chosen to let the actors use makeup to distinguish between young and middle-aged people.

In short, "Infernal Affairs" has officially entered the preparation stage from now on. At the same time, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has also entered the preparation stage.

During these three days, Xu Xiyu was communicating about the projects with the partners of the two films.

As the co-producer of the two projects, Lv Qinyao naturally participated in the entire communication process. Because of this, her status in the industry rose sharply.

However, it is impossible to complete the communication in three days. As for the remaining coordination matters, Gong Lingyun will come forward on Xiao Moss's side, and Qiao Shuangshuang will come forward on Huaqing's side.

Time passed day by day, and Xu Xiyu began to prepare for other projects, including a TV series project.

Busy and busy, Xu Xiyu spent his second New Year's Day on Blue Star.

It was at this time that the promotion of Hua Qing’s last movie, "The Annual Party Can’t Stop", finally began.

This is different from when "Dying to Survive" was released, when Xu Xiyu looked for every opportunity to hype it up.

He did not get involved in the promotion of the movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop", but left the entire process to the company's publicity and promotion department.

The capabilities of each department of Huaqing also need to be verified and improved.

To be honest, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" has a very good foundation for publicity and promotion.

Firstly, with the success of "Dying to Survive", the audience still has some preferences for Xu Xiyu's films.

Secondly, the Donghai Media, which likes to stir up trouble, is now unable to take care of itself, which means that no one will play dirty tricks on "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop". At most, there are some black fans who are tirelessly slandering it.

Thirdly, it is the end of the year and all companies have probably already started preparing for their annual meetings, so the atmosphere is just right.

If the publicity and promotion department still cannot make the film popular despite these three foundations, then Xu Xiyu will have to consider changing the blood of this department.

After all, with the development of Huaqing, there will be more and more projects to invest in and participate in in the future.

Not only that, there will definitely be people like Ji Libo who have creative ideas on hand.

If the idea is good, there is no reason for Xu Xiyu not to invest. After all, for such a large company, it is impossible for him to provide content alone.

To sum up, he did not pay too much attention to the progress of "The Annual Meeting Cannot Stop".

But Yu Yuyu was not happy with this kind of "hands-off" behavior, as this was her first movie in which she played the leading female role.

So she ran to Xu Xiyu's office and acted like a spoiled brat.

Seeing that she was about to roll on the ground, Xu Xiyu said helplessly: "No, Miss, whether you are reasonable or not, I have already said that there will be no problems with this movie."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuyu lay down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with a look of despair, and said, "I'm not sure. What do you think we should do if the box office fails?"

"It won't collapse. Even if it does collapse, I'll be the one who loses money and is laughed at by the haters. Why are you worrying so much?" Xu Xiyu said, feeling helpless.

“I’m worried because I’m afraid that you’ll be counterattacked by the black fans. If I really invested it myself, I wouldn’t feel so much pressure.” Yu Yuyu said with a bitter face.

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Xiyu to reply, she continued, "Do you think it would be safer if a beautiful actress played the leading role in this movie?"

These words surprised Xu Xiyu.

That's not right.

He clearly remembered that Yu Yuyu was mysteriously confident in her looks.

Why are you saying such self-deprecating words now?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Xiaoyu, has anyone told you anything? Has anyone said you are not pretty enough?"

Hearing this, Yu Yuyu did not respond, but continued to stare at the ceiling with some sadness.

She has been in the entertainment industry for more than a year. During this year, she has seen quite a few beauties. Not to mention others, there are some better ones among the newcomers in Huaqing.

When I stand next to them, I can't compare to them no matter how you look at it.

Unfortunately, most of them are the same age as me, so it’s hard to find an excuse.

That’s fine. I don’t have much contact with these people anyway, and I spend more time running my own Tianxing Foundation.

But ever since the promotional video of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" was released.

Many people on the Internet said things like [Three fish can also play the female lead?] [The female lead's dignified appearance made me instantly lose interest in this movie] [The female lead is too ordinary, why let her play the role?]

There are even some people around me who make me consider having some minor adjustments to my face.

This reminded her of the time when she first became famous.

Many people have also judged their appearance, and most of them are of the same sex.

On the contrary, most of the boys who paid attention to her said things like, "Rich woman, give me a chance, I don't want to work hard anymore." These things made Yu Yuyu, who was already anxious about her appearance, feel even worse.

Thinking of this, she sighed and said, "Brother, do you think I am not suitable for the entertainment industry?"

"That's true." Xu Xiyu nodded.

These words instantly made Yu Yuyu stand up straight, with an expression full of disbelief: "Aren't you a warm-hearted man? How could such cold words come out of your mouth?"

"Didn't you tell me that your talent lies in business and that you are a rising star in the business world? You also asked me not to disturb you and not to ask you to act in movies?" Xu Xiyu said, holding back his laughter.

"I...but...eh?" Yu Yuyu didn't know how to respond to this and stuttered for a long time.

He also boasted, "My investments have indeed been successful. Xiao Jiang's products have sold out. I also saved the sales of Yu Mei Jing. The share price of Hua Qing shares I hold has also gone crazy. I am indeed a business genius!"
Let me tell you, I recently invested in a game development company that had no money. They are making our country’s first 3A game, based on Journey to the West. Just wait, it will definitely sell like hot cakes.”

Xu Xiyu was stunned when he heard this. A 3A game based on Journey to the West?

At this moment, Xu Xiyu thought of a game he had always been looking forward to, but had traveled through time before he could play it - "Black Myth: Wukong".

If Yu Yuyu really invested in the twin brothers on Blue Star, I'm afraid they would really be a hot seller.

Damn, could it be that this girl is really a business genius and has such a unique vision?

and many more.

Xu Xiyu suddenly had an idea and said, "Hey, Xiaoyu, are you interested in playing a cameo role in my new movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City"? The character is called Dacongming, and he is an investment genius."

"What do you mean by smart? That doesn't sound like a compliment."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Xiyu said, trying not to laugh. Letting Yu Yuyu play Da Congming would have a huge effect. The character she used when she first debuted as an internet celebrity was that of a rich second-generation who cheated her father.

So, he continued, "You go and make a cameo appearance. After you're done, I'll arrange a female lead for you to play with your sister Qin Yao, playing the role of a rich girl from a Hong Kong family. You can play your true self, and there's no pressure at all."

"No, I won't go. They all say I'm ugly. I won't act again!!" Yu Yuyu finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She sat on the sofa with a pouty mouth, looking like she was about to cry.

"Look at you, you take what people say seriously. How can that be okay? There are so many people cursing me online every day, but when have I ever paid attention to them?"

"How can they be the same? Even if people curse at you, no one says you are ugly." Yu Yuyu muttered.

"Then can you please say a few words to me to satisfy your desire?" Xu Xiyu leaned back and teased.

"What's the point of deceiving yourself? You are indeed handsome, but it's a pity that you are such a scumbag."

"Hey, I didn't cheat on you, where do you get all those opinions?"

"You're dreaming. You want to cheat on me? Would I fall for your trick? I'm not love-brained, huh~~" Yu Yuyu crossed her arms and said proudly with her head turned away.

You know what, after those few jokes, she felt much better.

As her mood improved, she got back to the point and said, "No, no, you have to help promote 'The Annual Meeting Can't Stop'."

"I... okay, okay, you go back first, I will definitely find a way."

"Really?"

"you do not believe me?"

"No way, I can doubt anyone but you." Yu Yuyu said and jumped up from the sofa.

Then she chatted with Xu Xiyu for a while and skipped out of the office.

Watching her leaving, Xu Xiyu sighed at how great it was to be young, while thinking in his mind how to add some heat to the promotion of "The Annual Party Can't Stop".

After thinking about it for a while, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Then he opened the door and said to Shan Xinbao, "Xinbao, call the assistants of Wanta, Guangying, Bona, Jiahe, and Yongsheng in turn.

I told them that my new movie "Annual Meetings Can't Stop" would be screened soon, and I invited their artists who were free to come and attend our first screening."

"Okay." Shan Xinbao made an OK gesture when he heard this.

After giving the order, Xu Xiyu closed the door again, but soon opened it again and said, "Also, please hire another person for me."

"Who?" Shan Xinbao said and picked up the pen.

"How about inviting Ji Libo over? Tao Mingzhou used to be his assistant director. Now that his old partner's movie is released, he has to come and show his support, right?" Xu Xiyu said with a curl of his lips.

Ever since Tao Mingzhou separated from Ji Libo, this grandson has been criticizing Tao Mingzhou on various occasions.

"Then should we invite some more artists from Yuan Huaqing in the East China Sea?"

"No." Xu Xiyu shook his head. He didn't really want to continue dealing with these people.

However, it was precisely because of Shan Xinbao's reminder that the sisters Li Shangling and Li Shangrong suddenly appeared in Xu Xiyu's mind again.

Forget it, just say hello to them and save two tickets. If they are willing to come, they can come.

Thinking of this, he came up with another idea: "By the way, let the publicity department find a way to organize a lucky draw and give a few preview tickets to Xiao Yu's Da Hei Zi.

Let them see in person how big Xiaoyu's face is, so that they don't have to be keyboard warriors behind the screen every day, without even looking at what they look like, and always saying this is ugly and that is ugly."

Although Yu Yuyu is not very good-looking, she is a really nice person and her acting skills are also good.

As an actress, it is her duty to have good acting skills. She is not like some people on earth who are not very good-looking and have poor acting skills, but still sell the persona of a "great beauty".

It really shouldn't be said like that.
