This man knows how to hype

Chapter 437: Sweet
The public opinion on the Internet continues.

Netflix’s contact was also thinking about this.

The interaction at the premiere is still ongoing.

However, most of the European and American female artists who came to support the show had left. After all, the interaction lasted too long, and they didn't really have a relationship with Lu Qinyao, so it was impossible for them to stay for long.

Of course, even if they left, there were still hundreds of people on the scene, so it didn't seem deserted.

Moreover, the reporters' questions came one after another, adding to the liveliness of the event.

So, after discussing countless bland questions, someone finally got to the point and wanted to talk about identity recognition.

“Why did The Intouchables choose a dual-heroine story model?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Yujiao in the audience burst into laughter. As someone who has been living abroad for many years, she naturally knew how difficult this question was to answer.

To be honest, this question is nonsense when it comes to China.

Why choose the dual female lead model?
Because this is a story with two heroines, why would there be any reason?
To tell a story, there must be characters, and characters must have gender. What’s so special about having two female protagonists?
But it is different when it is placed abroad.

They really care about the proportion of a certain group in a movie, and whether the character is set as a positive or negative person.

For example, in old Hollywood movies, the actors who played roles like God and scientists had to be black.

In short, people in China laugh at foreigners for liking to stack buffs, and even when choosing a commander, they have to put a bunch of buffs on themselves first. The underlying logic of this behavior is that they just accept this.

Therefore, asking why "The Intouchables" chose two female protagonists is equivalent to asking the creators of "The Intouchables" whether they are feminists.

This is very important.

If you answer no, then you’re done for. You’ll have offended everyone walking the red carpet today, including all the “pure girls”.

If you answer yes, then it's also over. You have offended more people, not to mention those abroad, even the male audiences in China are in trouble.

Then can we just be vague and not say whether it is true or not and try to fool people?

What's even worse is that this means that you can't rely on any group. If you can't rely on any group abroad, it means that all groups will exclude you.

In other words, generally speaking, you have to choose a label to stick on yourself unless your answer is impeccable.

Therefore, Zhang Yujiao was happy when she heard this question.

Because she thought that Lu Qinyao could not answer at all, she would definitely use the same "tricks" she used in China, trying not to offend anyone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yujiao leaned back, clasped her arms around her chest, and tilted her head slightly, looking like she wanted to see Lu Qinyao make a fool of herself.

But Lv Qinyao was prepared. She smiled and said with the microphone in her hand: "In fact, the story of "The Intouchables" has a prototype..."

This is nonsense, "The Intouchables" has a prototype on Earth.

But there is no such thing on Blue Star. However, there is an idiom called "follow the map to find the horse".

As long as you look carefully, you will definitely find the prototype. During the filming process, Xu Xiyu kept looking for this prototype and finally found it.

Therefore, Lu Qinyao was not lying.

This is the safest answer. I adapted it based on a real story. What do you think?
However, Zhang Yujiao has a concept that is actually not a problem, and it cannot be fooled.

After Lv Qinyao gave a brief account of the real-life prototype, someone immediately asked, "We saw that today's red carpet show was composed entirely of female artists.

When you invited guests, did you do this deliberately? What was the reason for doing this? Does this mean that you are a feminist? "

After hearing this, Zhang Yujiao became happy again.

In fact, the red carpet of "The Intouchables" not only invited female artists, but also many domestic male artists.

But the question is, can Lu Qinyao use this as an excuse?
No, Lu Qinyao had to assume that this was an "all-female red carpet", otherwise someone would immediately ask why she invited both men and women, and not someone who was neither man nor woman?
Only by relying on all-female people can this problem be avoided.

Zhang Yujiao is very sure that Lu Qinyao and Xu Xiyu do not want to do this, because the quality of this movie is high enough to attract all audiences by its own quality. Giving it the hat of feminism would be a weakening.

Therefore, the look of watching the fun on Zhang Yujiao's face became even more intense.

But the next second, her expression froze, and Lu Qinyao gave an answer that no one expected: "I also want to ask about the red carpet.

As everyone knows, this is the first time for me, all the main creators of "The Intouchables", and even the investors behind me to attend the Venice Film Festival.

The most important person we met at this film festival was actually Zhang Yujiao, who was sitting over there. So I was also very surprised why everyone came to my red carpet show. "

At this point, Lu Qinyao paused and smiled at Zhang Yujiao, "Teacher Zhang, did you invite them for us?"

Zhang Yujiao was confused by the question.

Her vanity told her that she could admit it, as it would make her appear to have strong connections and international influence, and that this influence was unique.

This is simply hard to refuse, really hard to refuse because it will make your value increase again.

But her mind told her that she couldn't admit it! This was definitely a trap!

Could Lu Qinyao and Xu Xiyu be so kind?
These people were obviously hired by themselves, but they missed such a good opportunity to brag about themselves and help raise their own status?

Just when her vanity and reason were fighting each other.

Lv Qinyao on the other side had already answered for her: "It seems that it is difficult for Teacher Zhang to answer, after all, she is a judge this time. However, in short, I still have to thank them again on behalf of the entire crew for coming."

"Hahahahaha." As soon as these words came out, a tacit and meaningful laughter rang out at the scene. Hearing this laughter, although Zhang Yujiao still felt something was not right, she had an extremely refreshing sense of satisfaction.

Driven by this sense of satisfaction, she even began to nod to the people around her who cast curious glances at her.

That attitude seemed to be saying: Yes, these are the people I invited. Those big European and American names were all invited by me. I, Zhang Yujiao, have this influence!
Seeing her like this, Lu Qinyao's mouth corners became harder to suppress than AK.

She actually didn't know Xu Xiyu's plan, but that was the tacit understanding between the couple, when they both thought that "The Intouchables" could not be labeled as feminist, but had to be labeled as such.

Then the subject of the label must be attached to the "enemy", this is the right thing to do.

Thinking of this, she instinctively glanced at the entrance again.

However, he saw Xu Xiyu, who had appeared at some point, leaning against the door frame, looking at him with a smile.

Not only that, when he saw that I was looking over there, he gave me a thumbs up.

The praise from your loved one is the warmest reward in the world.

So, Lu Qinyao smiled, and her smile was like a gorgeous and shy crabapple flower.

Cheng Yunqing, who was standing next to Xu Xiyu, also smiled.

She never thought that someone would take the blame for discriminating against the right people so willingly.

Zhang Yujiao, ah, Zhang Yujiao.

You are such a good person.

Time passed slowly as both the enemy and us felt very happy.

The interaction after the premiere has ended, but everyone’s work has just begun. Reporters from the China Film Channel are going to do an exclusive interview on "The Intouchables".

The film festival's film review weekly will also do an exclusive interview at Sherlock's instruction.

Not only that, some other film media have also made reservations. After all, the biggest traffic point of this film festival is here.

Not only the media, but also the audience at the film festival showed great enthusiasm for this movie.

So Sherlock started arranging venues for additional performances of "The Intouchables", but even with the additional performances, the shows were still sold out and tickets were hard to come by.

The reputation of "The Intouchables" gradually began to ferment.

Countless related news began to appear under the topic of Venice Film Festival.

[Sherlock, head of the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee, said in an interview that "The Intouchables" is a very good movie, and he is happy that such an excellent movie is exhibited at this film festival]

[The famous film critic Sparrow wrote "The Intouchables, a warm and healing journey of the soul"]

[“The Intouchables” was selected into Venice Film Review Weekly’s “Must-See List of This Venice Film Festival”]

[Famous American actress Lilith said in an interview that Lv Qinyao is the most charming Chinese actress she knows]

[Nearly a thousand viewers gave "The Intouchables" five-star praise, and the average score on the film festival website was as high as 9.2, ranking first in audience ratings]

[According to an insider, "The Intouchables" may win the Golden Lion Award for Best Film in the main competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival, and Lv Qinyao will win the Best Actress Award]

[Yu Yuyu's "fierce investment experience" was exposed, and she became the darling of the Venice Film Festival. Many people rushed to take photos with her, hoping that she could bring them good luck]

[Xu Xiyu was photographed entering and leaving a hotel with a mysterious woman, inseparable. It is suspected that she had already broken up with Ke Xinying and has a new relationship]

[Ko Hsin-ying refuted the rumor and responded that "the two sides have a good relationship"]

[Zhang Yujiao was interviewed by China Film Weekly, telling the story behind the 'all-female red carpet' and said she hopes more Chinese films and actors can go global, and she is willing to build bridges]

[Many Hollywood actresses said that they were invited by GUCCI and PRADA to participate in the red carpet show of "The Intouchables". As for whether Zhang Yujiao sent the invitation through these two brands, they were not aware of it.]

[GUCCI and PRADA have not yet responded to this matter]

News came one after another. The Venice Film Festival, a long-established film festival that had gradually faded out of the Chinese audience's sight, seemed to have been reborn because of "The Intouchables".

Sherlock was almost going crazy with joy after watching this, and kept hinting to the jury to give the award to "The Intouchables".

Zhang Yujiao, who was hinted at, only felt that her heart rate was always at a high point.

No matter who you are, you like to brag about how great you are.

This is even more true for artists, because what artists sell is their persona. Zhang Yujiao is now taking this opportunity to create a super-large persona for herself.

This character is quite easy to fail because many people know that she is lying.

But the benefits this brings are really huge.

As the saying goes, the brave will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation.

Those popular artists dare to create any outrageous personalities, and their fans all believe them. There is no reason for me to be more timid than them.

Lu Qinyao admitted in front of everyone that it was him who hired that person for her, so why couldn't he just give the audience a vague hint?
As a result, the fans' loyalty and pride, the brand's increased commercial value, the improvement of its industry status, and so on and so forth are countless.

Whenever she thought of this, Zhang Yujiao felt like trembling with excitement.
