This man knows how to hype

Chapter 545 Some are happy and some are worried

"Everyone, please remember that crosstalk is the simplest and most difficult art form. You can talk, he can talk, so why should everyone spend money to watch me and Teacher Jiang talk?
This is different from Peking opera, drum music, and the TV dramas and movies that everyone sees now. For example, in Peking opera, there are actors and bands on the stage, hundreds of thousands of people, singing, reciting, acting, and fighting…”

"Hey, there aren't that many people. There's no room."

"It's like a movie, with hundreds of thousands of people on the set..."

"Why are there so many hundreds of thousands of people everywhere?"

"That's what I mean. Crosstalk is an art of language. To be more precise, it is an art of performing with language.

The same joke, if I perform it, you will be amused, but if someone else performs it, you may not be amused. So the difficulty lies in the performance itself."

"That is."

"I always remind the kids backstage not to forget the basic skills just because you are famous now, otherwise you won't be able to perform a good work, and that would be a shame for the audience's ticket money."

"Correct."

"But then again, it's not just our industry, it's the same in other industries as well."

"Same here?"

"For example, isn't this movie also a performance that is ultimately presented to the audience? If you don't have the basic skills for acting, can you perform it if you are given a good script?"

"That's true."

“Why can he perform well in the same script but he can’t?”

"Yes."

"Everyone knows that Mr. Jiang is a very good actor. For example, there is a plot now where his fathers won 5 million. Mr. Jiang was so excited that he cried. That emotion, that expressiveness..."

"Okay, stop praising me. Are you fathers decent? How can you be so?"

"Anyway, if you don't have the ability, you can't act it out. If you let me act out the part where my son wins 500 million, I will..."

"Wait a minute, how come it's just you that your son won five million? Good fellow, you've made me lose my generation in just a few words."

"Did I say your father is my son? Why are you so anxious to make contact? Did I say this is a play?"

"Hey, so I asked the wrong question?"

"This guy just takes advantage of the situation."

"its me?"

“To put it simply, performance is performance. No matter whether it is crosstalk, drama or film, the content that is finally presented to the audience and what impresses the audience must be the performance of the actor.

Is the script important? It is important, but the real decisive factor is the actors, because the audience buys tickets to see the actors' performance, they cannot see the script.

If the actors perform well, the work can be saved to a certain extent even if its original content is not well written. This is the ability of a good actor."

"Is Old Guo crazy?" Hearing this, Qiao Shuangshuang finally couldn't help but twitching her lips and said to Xu Xiyu.

She knew that Guo Jinwei had been trying to hint to the audience and wanted to deprive Xu Xiyu of the credit for "Super Family".

But she never expected that Xu Xiyu would still say this even though he came to watch the performance today.

In fact, it seemed that what he said was even more straightforward and cruel than before.

It was just a hint before, but today it is stated explicitly.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shuangshuang turned her head to look at Xu Xiyu. Just as she was about to say something, she found that Xu Xiyu was almost laughing crazy.

"Is it so funny?" Qiao Shuangshuang was very puzzled.

"Isn't it funny? No, if you put aside our position, what Guo Jinwei said before sounded like he was scolding those people in Huahai." Xu Xiyu laughed even harder as he spoke.

Qiao Shuangshuang was also a little embarrassed by him. She laughed helplessly and whispered, "Boss, the words behind him are obviously scolding you.

What do you mean by the script is important but not decisive? Doesn't this mean that your role is not that important? How is this denying your contribution to "The Incredibles"? This is denying your contribution to all your works!"

"How can he deny some things? What does he, an outsider, know?" Xu Xiyu shrugged indifferently.

Indeed, no matter how good the script is, it is useless if the actors cannot perform it.

But the problem is, if the script is not good, no matter how good the actors are, it will be useless.

And it’s not just movies. Take crosstalk and sketches for example, the role of screenwriters is even more important.

You know, not every actor is a creative talent.

On Earth, Jiang Kun, Feng Gong and others also relied on Liang Zuo to produce works such as "Fantasy in the Tiger's Mouth" and "Thieves Company" in the early years.

The most representative one is Guo Jinwei's cousin, Guo Degang, who is superior to all others. The reason why he can get to where he is today is because of his extraordinary creative ability.

Those who know him know that in the early years he released new works as if they were free, and they were both good and numerous. After all, Guo Degang is also a "screenwriter."

So, what Guo Jinwei is saying on the stage now is pure nonsense.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu added, "The success of my work is partly due to the script. Another reason is that I have abilities in project management and quality control that others don't have. Everyone who has worked with us knows this."

The reason why he has such ability is largely because he has a clear mind and he knows clearly what is good and what is bad.

At the same time, he also clearly knows the highlights and dark spots of each character and each plot. He will explain these things clearly in advance, making it easy for the main creators to shoot and the actors to act.

Therefore, the projects under his control can avoid many detours compared to others and have fewer unexpected factors than other crews.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said: "It is said that the harsher the words, the more painful the boomerang will hit you. What do you think Guo Jinwei is thinking?
Is it because the finished film of "Superpower Family" is really good? Otherwise, isn't he afraid that these words of his will become the material for the audience to mock him in the future? "

"Boss, are you thinking too much? Haven't you noticed that some people can't tell whether the works they perform are good or bad?" Qiao Shuangshuang rolled her eyes when she heard that.

This is a very common situation, just like Xu Xiyu couldn't feel moved when watching "Coco". The underlying logic can be summed up in two words: "numb".

The brain can easily lose its aesthetic ability for a numb thing, which is the same as living in a room full of orchids or a shop selling abalone for a long time.

In this way, coupled with the beautifying filter of his own works, the flattery of people around him due to his status, and the misplaced understanding of the audience market, it is normal for Guo Jinwei to not understand whether "Super Family" is good or bad.

He never figured it out in the first place. If he had, he wouldn't have been able to make those crappy movies.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shuangshuang repeated, "I still don't understand if he is crazy. Even if the film is well made, he shouldn't have said that if he didn't leave himself this little wiggle room."

"I don't know." Xu Xiyu shook his head when he heard this, indicating that he didn't understand either.

They were puzzled, but the other actors of Jixiang Society who were watching the performance behind the scenes on both sides of the stage knew everything clearly.

Especially Yang Jihua, his mood was mixed.

Today is his own special show, and now the master is "pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey" in his own special show, which is not giving Xu Xiyu any face at all. When Xu Xiyu thinks about it in the future, he will definitely vent his anger on himself!

Yes, everyone often gossiped about Xu Xiyu behind the scenes, but those were all said in private.

Now that it's on the table, is it appropriate? He's not the only one who thinks so. The man next to Yang Jihua couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you think the master is going too far?"

Without turning around, Yang Jihua knew who was speaking. It was his junior fellow apprentice and the eldest senior brother of the Xiang class, Cao Xiangyun.

Cao Xiangyun's appearance is more handsome than the other ugly guys in the community.

Therefore, he is also a person who is most enthusiastic about acting in TV series and movies. However, unfortunately, Guo Jinwei did not bring him to act in "Super Family" this time, which made him always resentful.

"Brother, your level is well known to all the fellow disciples. You have not been able to rise in these years because of Master's foul mouth. Oh, he offended a TV station leader today, and angered a private enterprise tycoon tomorrow.

He has many fans, and everyone says he is a veteran artist, but he doesn't care. But we, his disciples, are suffering from this misfortune!"

"Say less." Yang Jihua turned around and interrupted, but the words he used to interrupt showed that he did not object to what Cao Xiangyun said.

This gave Cao Xiangyun the courage to continue, "Also, you said that the company usually takes so much commission, and we didn't make any money or fame, and we only offended people!"

"Tsk... Okay, okay, just keep some things in your heart!" When Yang Jihua heard this, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

He completely forgot that he was one of the people who instigated Guo Jinwei and Zhang Jianbai to fully cooperate a few days ago.

At the same time, on the other side of the binary shadow, in several small viewing rooms playing versions of "Coco" with subtitles in different languages, sat the film producer teams, all of whom were in tears.

Don't ever think that they won't cry when watching a movie.

Cry when you need to.

Some film producers even randomly select ordinary employees to participate in this kind of film viewing, because this can simulate the feedback of ordinary audiences.

I saw several people in the film reading room crying.

Liu Jiming, the person in charge of Binary Shadow, said to Shan Xinbao who came to help Xu Xiyu: "Mr. Shan..."

"I've said it a hundred times, just call me by my name, I'm not the CEO. I'm here today to make it easier for you to contact CEO Xu, not to give orders.

Do you know why the boss didn't even show up on such an important day for film producers to watch movies? " Shan Xinbao shrugged helplessly.

"It must be that Mr. Xu has more important things to do." Liu Jiming has a high EQ.

Faced with this high EQ answer, Shan Xinbao simply shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing important. He is listening to crosstalk at the Jixiang Club now."

“……”Liu Jiming.

"It's because the boss trusts you and thinks you can handle it, so he didn't come. He is not Guo Jinwei, who intends to be everyone's godfather.

It's not Zhang Jianbai, who always calls himself a senior? Not to mention today, in the future, even if Coco wins an award, you will be the ones to receive it."

After these words were spoken, Liu Jiming looked at Shan Xinbao in disbelief. He never expected that Shan Xinbao would suddenly say this.

Shan Xinbao looked at him, raised his lips and said, "In recent years, I always hear people say that following the boss is good in every way, but he is too brilliant, and others are outshined and can't stand out..."

"Mr. Shan, I never said such a thing!!" Liu Jiming panicked and hurriedly explained.

After explaining, he cursed again: "Good fellow, you are really heartless to say such resentful words, who is it, which bastard is gossiping?
What does it mean to be unable to make a name for yourself? Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about Ms. Qiao. Who in the industry doesn’t know her? Ms. Gong Lingyun of Little Moss, as well as those actors, directors, and screenwriters of Ivy, how many of them have been praised by the boss…”

"Okay, you don't have to say that. That's not what I meant." Shan Xinbao stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

Then he continued, “I want to tell you that the boss feels that this is not enough, and it is far from enough. He hopes that you can stand up in your respective fields as soon as possible.

In this way, everyone will unite together to have great influence and risk resistance. I also said these words to Mr. Lu of Parallel Chongcai this morning. "

After Shan Xinbao finished speaking, Liu Jiming gradually calmed down. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "Is Mr. Xu going to set up a group?"

If Xu Xiyu wanted to set up a group company, there would be no resistance. On the one hand, he had personal prestige; on the other hand, he held a large number of shares in each company.

But Shan Xinbao shook his head and said, "No, he hopes that in the future, each of your companies will develop into a giant ship, and we will form a formation, support each other, and cooperate with each other.

For example, the boss hopes that in five to eight years, your Heping Chongcai special effects business will not only be the best animation and stand-alone game company in China, but also the best film and television special effects company in China!"

At the beginning, it was impossible for Liu Jiming to put everything aside and make animation without some "idealism".

In fact, they and Pingxing Chongcai are both teams with great "feelings".

Therefore, hearing that he was expected to do so, Liu Jiming replied without any hesitation: "Mr. Shan, please tell Mr. Xu that my team and I will definitely let him see this day!"

"You don't need me to tell him. I think he has always believed that you can do it." Shan Xinbao shook his head.

Here, Shan Xinbao was encouraging Liu Jiming.

On the other hand, the main creators of "Super Family" were also making the final mobilization.

It must be emphasized that any company's team must hold a meeting to cheer themselves up when working on any project or task.

The promotion of "Super Family" involves a lot of people, a lot of money, and a lot of energy.

Therefore, the behavior of motivating people to get excited is not abrupt or stupid. It is normal and necessary.

At this time, the director of "Super Family" held a small loudspeaker and said to the publicity team: "Everyone, in three days, we will start the preview.

There are no strong competitors competing with us in the summer season, and Xu Xiyu has no plans to snipe us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to see crosstalk at his wit's end.

There's no point in watching, because in three days Guo Jinwei will bring his disciples to join us for a roadshow, and all conspiracies and tricks will be ineffective then.

Therefore, this time, "Super Family" will definitely, inevitably, and absolutely achieve good results. To be honest, I have already issued a military order to General Manager Zhang, General Manager Li, and General Manager Qi.

This time, our box office target is..."

At this point, the director of "Superpower Family" paused, looked around at everyone, and then said: "30 billion!"

As soon as this goal was announced, the publicity and promotion team fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

You may say this goal is high, but Huahai has inherited Huaqing's achievements. Huaqing has made several films with a box office of 30 billion yuan. So 30 billion yuan is really not an unattainable goal.

But if you say he is not tall...

Even Zhang Jianbai, the current leading figure in Huahai, has never won this box office, let alone the director who is speaking on the stage?

Just when everyone was quiet, the assistant director shouted: "30 billion!!"

This shout inspired others to shout along, and the more they shouted, the more excited they became, because with the high box office, they would also get more bonuses.

But the director who was giving the speech felt bitter when he saw this lively scene.

As I said before, he is different from the director of "The Fortress of Shanghai". He knew that the film was finished from the moment he saw the finished film.

Now, I am completely deceiving myself!

30 billion!
I don’t even know if there are 3 million.

Oh my god, this is really killing me.
