This man knows how to hype

Chapter 436: Both of them were cold? Now they are both hot!

Inside the screening room of "The Intouchables".

Zhang Yujiao, who had originally "threatened" Xu Xiyu by saying that she would not come to support the event, was now sitting obediently in the seat reserved for her.

It’s not okay if I don’t come.

She felt that she needed to come over and see what was going on.

However, as time went by, she was thinking about another question: Where is Xu Xiyu? Where is she? Why didn't she come when the movie was almost over?

Lu Qinyao was also thinking about this question.

Her hands and feet were sweating from nervousness.

Because the movie is about to end, it means that I will be interacting with the people on the scene as the leading actor of "The Intouchables" and the representative of the production company.

To be honest, this is actually a bit like a preview roadshow.

Lu Qinyao has participated in many roadshows. Logically, she should be familiar with it and should not be so nervous.

But the situation is indeed a little different this time.

Firstly, this is a foreign country after all, and the majority of the premiere audience are colleagues, film critics and journalists, which is very different from the composition of ordinary preview audiences.

Most of the audience who can come to participate in the premiere in China are fans. Fans will not cause trouble, but this may not be the case for these people at the scene.

Secondly, and most importantly, this movie has become inexplicably sensitive.

Lu Qinyao is 100% sure that Xu Xiyu has absolutely no idea about feminism or not when filming a movie with two female protagonists.

He just tailored a script for himself, hoping to win an award.

But with so many female artists coming to the red carpet show, the topic will definitely turn to this later, so I have to consider my wording at this time.

If one doesn't say it well, he might offend people, especially he has to consider the perception of domestic male audiences. He doesn't want to be accused of boxing for no reason, because that would be counterproductive.

Thinking of this, Lu Qinyao wiped the sweat from her palms with a tissue and turned to look towards the entrance.

"Hasn't he come back yet? I don't know if things are going well for him." She muttered to herself, then took a deep breath, lowered her eyes slightly and began to prepare for the interaction later.

Time passes by minute by minute.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Lu Qinyao, who was thinking with her eyes downcast, suddenly felt the light above her head turn on and bursts of applause came to her ears.

I looked up and saw that the end credits had already started rolling on the screen.

Now, her heart tightened and she couldn't help but look at the entrance again. Unfortunately, Xu Xiyu still didn't appear.

"Lv Qinyao, you can do it!"

"Lv Qinyao, you can't rely on him for everything. What's the difference between you and a leech sucking blood from a person?"

"Lü Qinyao..."

The self-encouragement in his heart was like the rocker of a jack, pushing up Lu Qinyao, who was sitting in the first row.

Until she stood up completely, she quickly adjusted herself into a bright smile, turned around to face the audience, and raised her hands high to wave.

The whole person is confident and generous.

As I mentioned before, her outfit is pretty much the same as in the movie.

And in "The Intouchables", Aqing is indeed very charming.

She is rebellious and even a little rude, but she is also kind and empathetic. Not only that, she also has certain specialties. She can be said to be a standard "commoner hero" role template.

Such a "civilian hero" design will not make any big mistakes even if the performance is not good.

If the performance is good, it will leave a strong impression on the audience.

Therefore, some viewers who were still immersed in the plot stood up to greet her and even called out the English name of Ah Qing in the movie, "Sunny".

Following this shout, the creators of "The Intouchables" stood in front of the screen at the invitation of the interactive host.

It was this action that caused another round of exclamations from the audience.

The reason is very simple, because Yu Yuyu, who was originally sitting in a wheelchair, is now standing, which surprised some people at the scene.

This doesn't mean that they have an IQ problem, as they even believe this.

Rather, some viewers are born with a tendency to imagine.

Some people inexplicably believe that Yu Yuyu is a disabled actor in a wheelchair. With this idea in mind, they also imagined a lot of "touching" content.

For example, Yu Yuyu must have encountered many difficulties during the filming process.

As a result, when they saw that Yu Yuyu was a healthy person, some viewers found it hard to accept it for a moment and even felt that they had been deceived.

All I can say is that people are really very different from each other, and society is indeed a mixture of "concrete" and "abstract".

Fortunately, this situation was already expected.

Therefore, as soon as she stood still, Lv Qinyao took the microphone and joked in fluent English: "I remember just now at the entrance of the Film Palace, I received countless blessings from God bless you.

I am not sure whether God heard this voice, but I am sure that your power really shone upon her at that moment.

In the movie, there is only one Sunny, but in this cinema, there are hundreds of Sunnys. It is your kindness and warmth that helped her stand up again. "Good boy, as soon as these words came out, there was another round of applause and laughter at the scene.

Everyone likes to hear compliments. Lu Qinyao's words were equivalent to complimenting everyone present.

Of course, not everyone is happy to see this scene.

For example, Zhang Yujiao and Lu Ye, seeing Lv Qinyao talking to a bunch of international stars, Zhang Yujiao's eyes were almost rolled up to the sky. What virtue do you have, Lv Qinyao, to have so many big names listen to you?

However, no one cared what she thought at this moment.

After the applause died down, someone immediately asked: "So, having YU sit in a wheelchair to greet the premiere guests and audience, is this a special design?"

“Rather than a design, it’s more of an inspiration, which comes from our previous work, the New Paradise series.

This series of works has a characteristic of breaking the fourth wall. Therefore, we hope that some of our company's works will meet the audience for the first time.

The characters, rather than the actors, will welcome the audience. We hope that there will be some interaction between the characters and the audience, so that there may be some subtle emotional feedback."

"What is 'New Paradise'? Are you also the lead actor in it?" Obviously, this is a sting.

"Yes, maybe you'll see it soon on Netflix, they paid $1.75 million for it, it's about a world built by realistic robots that visitors can enter, like playing a game.

But today is the premiere of The Intouchables, so I won’t introduce it in detail, sorry.” Lv Qinyao responded to this question quickly.

Zhang Yujiao couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing this, and whispered to Lu Ye beside her: "Are they here to advertise? Are they crazy? They are all in the same industry, is advertising useful?"

It turns out to be useful.

Because the number 1.75 million is indeed a bit scary.

Lu Qinyao deliberately ignored the unit and did not mention that it was RMB, so the first reaction of the foreigners present was all US dollars.

1.75 million US dollars is not a small investment even for a Hollywood movie, but is it used to buy a Chinese TV series?
This is truly a big entertainment news.

At this time, someone had already been arranged to edit the previous conversation together with the promotional video of "New Paradise·Wangxian" and posted it on mainstream foreign social platforms such as Tiktok, YouTube, and Twitter.

The copywriting is all [Lv, the star of the all-female red carpet movie "The Intouchables", said that Netflix purchased the Chinese TV series "New Paradise" for 1.75 million yuan]

That’s right, “The Intouchables” is not only popular on the intranet, but also on the Internet, and the attention it receives is no less than that in China.

After all, keywords like all-female red carpet + Chinese movies are fun and novel for everyone.

What’s even more confusing is that Xu Xiyu directly asked Lu Qinyao and Yu Yuyu to use the pinyin of their English names.

So, Lü Qinyao was called "QinYao·Lv" and Yu Yuyu was called "YuYu·Yu".

It should be said that this name makes foreigners remember Ms. LV and Ms. YU at once, which lowers the threshold for the image dissemination of the two and adds some fun.

With such popularity as this, there is now news that "Netflix purchased a Chinese TV series starring Ms. Lv for 1.75 million yuan."

It immediately attracted the attention of external network users.

After watching the video and the trailer for "New Paradise", everyone joined the discussion.

[So YU is not disabled at all, and the wheelchair is a special design? ]

[I like this design, and I like Lv’s speech even more. I believe that everyone’s kindness can really help disabled people “stand up” again]

[Yes, the world needs more kindness, doesn't it? ]

[Hou Lixie, I heard that there is really a theme park in China that is the same as "New Paradise"? You can really experience the scenes in the show there (covering your face in horror)]

[What? Is it true? I want to travel. Also, when will this drama be broadcast? Why can't I find it on Netflix? ]

Watching a bunch of foreign users discussing enthusiastically.

But some creatures in the simplified Chinese area of ​​the external network were very anxious.

After all, when these people see any positive news about China appearing on the foreign Internet, it is more painful than if their own father had died. Anyone who has visited the foreign Internet should have experienced this.

So, a bunch of people started to go to the relevant news to debunk the rumors, saying that it was fake news, that it actually only cost 2500 million US dollars, and that the show was not good and no one watched it.

In the comment section, a rather classic scene suddenly appeared.

After watching the trailer, most of the foreign faces were asking when it would be broadcast. Many people were also discussing the setting of "New Paradise", saying that it was very interesting and they were looking forward to it.

A group of people with Asian faces and those who claim to be Chinese were belittling the film and advising foreigners not to watch it.

It's quite funny sometimes. Some people will only admit that they are Chinese at this time. At other times, they can't wait to cut off all ties with China.

Such a public opinion scene naturally attracted the attention of Netflix's contacts.

Ever since Xu Xiyu called me last time and said that he would use the Venice Film Festival to promote "New Paradise: Wangxian".

Netflix’s contact person has been waiting to see how Xu Xiyu will promote it.

When the news of the "all-female red carpet" appeared on the Internet, Netflix's contact knew the time had come.

He felt that what Xu Xiyu said made a lot of sense. The enemy had to be strong. How could they ask for "military expenditure" if they were not strong?
Isn’t the funding generated through “pull back and forth”?

Now that Xu Xiyu has demonstrated his "power", I have to take this opportunity to add fuel to his "power" and, by the way, make back the money I spent on Netflix.
