This man knows how to hype

Chapter 482 Mr. Xu, guess what, we made money again!

#Xu Xiyu's first animated film "Robot Wall-E" was screened in China#
11 month 1 day.

A piece of news appeared on major platforms.

After these days of regular publicity, "Xu Xiyu shoots an animated film" has become a gimmick.

Therefore, the discussion about "Wall-E" on the Internet is quite hot at this time.

Faced with this situation...

"I always feel that this movie is going to be a hit, really." In a villa outside Beijing, Cheng Yunqing couldn't help but say to Hu Ningtian.

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Xiyu say that the market for animated films isn't big? In the past, the best-performing domestic films for all ages only made around 700 to 800 million yuan, barely making back the money they invested."

"Having said that, I still feel something is wrong. The main reason is that the quality of this movie is indeed high, the story is simple but warm, and it has a low threshold for viewing while also having a certain depth."

"Hey, don't think too much. You have to trust Xiyu's judgment. He is professional in this area." Hu Ningtian said as he reached out to hug Cheng Yunqing.

But his move was dodged by Cheng Yunqing.

"If you can't hold it in, go find those lovers you keep. We agreed before that I won't let you touch them before we get married." Cheng Yunqing rolled his eyes.

After hearing this, Hu Ningtian was not angry, but rather a little helpless.

It's not that he couldn't hold it back, nor was he trying to take advantage.

Mainly because he felt that physical contact was conducive to deepening feelings. This was inspired by the last time his sister took the initiative to hug Xu Xiyu in the film reading room and said, "It's so nice to have you."

To be honest, he and Cheng Yunqing get along quite well, because Cheng Yunqing has a really good personality. Sometimes he can even be said to be as carefree as a boy.

But precisely because of this, he always felt that the two of them were developing in the direction of brothers, and there was no ambiguity at all.

Look at how my sister gets along with Xu Xiyu, she acts coquettishly, blushes, and even acts a little naughty.

Looking at myself...

No.

I'll go ask that bastard Xu Xiyu some other day how I can make the next step forward.

All his interactions with women over the years have been in the form of keeping mistresses. In other words, he has always been coaxed by others, but he has never coaxed women.

People's behavioral inertia is very serious. If Hu Ningtian had a few fewer years of experience in supporting others, perhaps things would be much better.

Thinking of this, he stretched lazily and said, "I heard from Xiyu that he didn't even ask for favors for the publicity this time."

"What do you mean by asking for favors?" Cheng Yunqing didn't understand for a moment.

"He just asked other artists to help promote him. In the past, when he had a new movie or TV series, he would ask familiar artists to help promote him. This time, he didn't even ask anyone from his own company."

"Is that so?" Cheng Yunqing nodded thoughtfully.

Half an hour later...

"What's going on with these people?" Cheng Yunqing pointed at his mobile phone screen.

Hu Ningtian looked at him intently, and his attention instantly wandered: "This thief lied to me that he didn't have a Wall-E action figure. Last time I saw one in his office, he didn't give it to me when I asked for it."

That’s right, on Cheng Yunqing’s mobile phone screen, a video of Li Shangling taking a selfie with the “Wall-E” figurine was playing.

Li Shangling held the Wall-E figurine to her face and said with a smile: "Wall-E is really good. It is a high-quality animated film suitable for all ages. I hope everyone will support it!"

Not only Li Shangling, but also Gulixiati, Li Qiyang and more than 50 artists who participated in the "National Style Culture Festival" last time are now posting similar videos or photos to help promote it.

Moreover, without exception, they all got the "Wall-E" or "Eva" action figures.

It's not that we don't have enough connections, but sometimes the promotion of live-action movies will conflict with announcements and cooperation, making it inconvenient to promote.

There is no such concern for animated films.

However, they had no worries, but Xu Xiyu was dumbfounded.

"Damn, what's going on? Who asked them to send it? Also, where did this figure come from?" Xu Xiyu really didn't understand.

Some time ago, he had been paying attention to the National Style Culture Festival; later, he had been discussing with Hu Ningtian the important matter of "separation" which was related to future development.

What's more, he himself didn't have high expectations for the box office of "Wall-E".

Therefore, there was no excessive involvement in publicity, and all was left to the company's publicity and promotion department. With so many high-quality projects to practice on, their capabilities have actually improved.

But I never expected that they seemed to have risen too high, and now they are doing this kind of thing to "stab me in the back"?
"Xinbao, Xinbao, come in for a moment." Xu Xiyu looked up and shouted at the door.

Soon, Shan Xinbao pushed the door open and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Boss Xu, what's wrong?"

"Ask the person in charge of the publicity and promotion team for "Wall-E" to come over. I have something to ask him." Xu Xiyu ordered.

"Okay." Five minutes later, in the office.

Looking at Zheng Yingle, the head of the publicity and promotion team of "WALL-E" standing in front of him, Xu Xiyu didn't know what to ask for a moment.

He was very impressed with this kid.

When Hua Qing changed jobs, his leader wanted to take him with him, but he refused. Because of this, he was ridiculed by his colleagues who changed jobs and said that he was not destined to succeed.

But later, he took charge of projects such as "Storm", "Beginning", and "The Richest Man in Xihong City". His work performance was excellent and he could be considered to be able to stand on his own.

Therefore, Qiao Shuangshuang gave him the responsibility for the promotion of "Wall-E".

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said, "I just saw that the artists in our company, as well as some artists who have a good relationship with us, are all helping to promote "Wall-E". Did you do this?"

"Mr. Xu, this is what I should do!" Zheng Yingle quickly expressed his opinion.

"..."Xu Xiyu.

"You don't have to praise me. It's no big deal. If we talk about credit, the biggest credit goes to you. They are giving face to you, not to me." Zheng Yingle spoke with sincerity and a bit of honesty.

“……”But Xu Xiyu was completely speechless after hearing these words.

But he couldn't blame Zheng Yingle. He had to smile and praise her, "You did a great job. The company needs people like you who are proactive."

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind!" Zheng Yingle said excitedly, "I will definitely continue to work hard."

"Um... ahem... well, I asked you to come here because I wanted to ask if you have made any other arrangements for the publicity and promotion work?" Xu Xiyu said as naturally as possible.

"Yes, this time we have three major categories and sixteen subcategories, and the promotion is divided into four stages. Mr. Xu, if you have time, I will give you a brief report." Zheng Yingle said with a little excitement.

When the plan was being made, it was always Mr. Qiao who was reviewing it. Mr. Xu was busy and didn't even look at it.

Now that I have the opportunity to show my performance, how can I not report my work to my boss?

But Xu Xiyu's eyebrows almost stood up because of Zheng Yingle's "three major categories, sixteen subcategories, and four stages".

My goodness, you're making such a big fuss.

So, he asked in confusion, "Is the publicity and promotion budget enough? As I recall, the publicity and promotion budget for this movie was not that high, right?"

"Boss Xu, the money is not much, but it doesn't matter. Your face is here!"

“???” Xu Xiyu almost showed a “black question mark” expression.

Fortunately, Zheng Yingle was so happy that he didn't notice anything unusual. He just said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Before, Mr. Ke took the initiative to open up the planning proposal for the National Style Culture Festival.

Those scenic spots and event organizers that have accepted the planning proposal will jointly launch ticket discount promotions with us when the film is released. Movie ticket holders can enjoy discounts on scenic spot tickets.

Happy Valley and Wangxian Valley, which have been cooperating with us for a long time, expressed their support immediately. Especially Happy Valley, they are just waiting for our IP to become popular so that they can hold theme activities. "

"Discount on tickets?" Xu Xiyu was really shocked. Damn, where did this genius come from? Can he even negotiate such a cooperation?

“Also, the brands that we previously worked with are planning to collaborate with us. Especially the Yunjing robot vacuum cleaner, they are particularly interested in the cleaning robot Wall-E.

After all, it is an animated character, so there is a lot of room for development. This matter is discussed by our business department, but in the end, it still depends on your reputation. Everyone believes in the quality of this movie.

In order to reassure them, I organized a preview last time and invited representatives from various brands to watch it. They all praised the movie highly. "

"There is also a joint name?" Xu Xiyu didn't know what to say.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, that means we have already started making money before the movie is officially released?" Zheng Yingle's chest puffed out when he talked about this. "Mr. Xu, after all, this is all because of your good reputation!"

"..." Xu Xiyu was so shocked by these words that he opened his mouth again and again, and finally could only say, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It should!"

"Okay, I'm just asking. Please give a copy of the plan to Xinbao later. I'll take a look at it later. You can go ahead and do your work first."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Yingle responded quickly.

After he left, Xu Xiyu looked at the closed door, thinking back to what Zheng Yingle had just said, and said with some embarrassment: "Zheng Yingle, you picked a good name, you really won!"

Here, he just finished sighing.

On the other side, Zheng Yingle, who had returned to the work group, suddenly exclaimed: "Damn, he is indeed Mr. Xu. Even Luo Shuquan is helping to promote it?! Xiao Wu, contact him and send a set of figures to Mr. Luo."

That’s right, the bastards from the Anti-Egg Alliance have started taking action.

Xu Xiyu, who had just opened the promotional plan sent by Zheng Yingle, had no idea about this.
