Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 25 Hi Hi Hi, I’m here
3 month 3 day.

Beijing Wangjing SOHO.

An open space was filled with a crowd of people.

There was a big red banner hanging above - the opening ceremony of "Love Is Not Blind".

Below is a simple table with simple tables and chairs.

Well, the conditions are so simple.

In Xu Ming's opinion, every penny saved should go into his own pocket.

"Director Teng, Beijing is your home court. The interview session later will all depend on you." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"Haha, these reporters are all here for you. Whether our crew can be featured in the newspaper tomorrow depends on your performance." Teng Huatao said.

He was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Ming. After all, he was considered a senior in the circle and a director. Even though the other party was very popular, he always had to discuss with him before choosing the heroine.

Unexpectedly, when several investors held a meeting, they directly excluded him as the director.

If it weren't for the later casting work, and Xu Mingru did not interfere as he said, Teng Huatao would have felt very upset.

Now, everyone can still maintain superficial harmony.

During the filming of "The Frog Prince", the male and female protagonists Chen Qiaoen and Ming Dao disliked each other, but after the show was broadcast, the audience still couldn't help but fall in love with the two.

It can be seen that the entertainment industry is actually similar to the office, everyone is just acting.

After a while, little Song Jia also hurried over and sat on the other side.

She glanced at Xu Ming resentfully out of the corner of her eye. If the latter hadn't insisted on making trouble so early in the morning, how could she be late at such a critical moment?
After all, if you want to meet the media, exquisite makeup is a must.

"Love Is Not Blind" is not a big production crew, and the cast is mostly newcomers, so naturally the process is much simpler.

After the media reporters arrived in place, the launch conference began.

"Director Teng, since the box office failure of "The Devil in My Heart", how did you think about returning to the field of romantic movies?"

"Also, the male lead in the last movie was Li Ming, but in this one he was downgraded to Xu Ming. Don't you think it's going to be more difficult to make a comeback?"

This sharp question made Teng Huatao's face turn pale and blue.

Isn’t it said that good media are screened?
Who can react when they start causing trouble like this?

Just when Teng Huatao was stuck and the atmosphere was low, Xu Ming picked up the microphone.

"Director Teng has to get up from where he fell. You can't be like me and lie down where you fell."

Xu Ming's joke instantly broke the dullness. This kind of playful ridicule was still novel in 09.

Then, he pointed at the reporter who asked the question and said, "You're a reporter from Kyoto Entertainment Magazine, right? Thank you for comparing me with Li Ming. This not only does not hurt Li Ming, but also elevates me."

The reporter looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that his contemptuous words would be misinterpreted by the other party as flattery.

He wanted to explain, but he no longer had the chance.

Two security guards in black suits appeared on both sides of him and took him out.

I really thought Xu Ming was thanking people when he pointed at them.

He was giving directions to the security team.

You little brat, I can't deal with you in my home turf.

With this sudden incident, Xu Ming noticed something unusual at the scene.

It seems that several of the media reporters who came today were not on the list, such as the Kyoto Entertainment News just now, which was obviously a tabloid imitating the Southern Metropolis Entertainment. If they could take the initiative to find trouble, there must be someone behind it, but he has not yet guessed which one it is.

Any of the three investors could be an enemy.

He subconsciously did not include himself in the list. He has always been approachable, so how could he have enemies?
"It's you, the reporter from Sohu Entertainment." Xu Ming personally appointed the person.

The reporters who were ready to make a move immediately cried out that there was something fishy going on, because everyone knew that Sohu Entertainment was the investor of the film.

It’s just that no one cares.

"I'd like to ask about the film company's expectations for the box office."

The Sohu Entertainment reporter asked a standard question.

Colleagues looked at him with disdain, saying he was so low class.

"Last year, there were only eight domestic films that grossed over 100 million yuan at the box office. But this year, only two months have passed and three domestic films have already grossed over 100 million yuan, namely Red Cliff, Crazy Racer and The Dragon and the Phoenix."

Xu Ming pointed out three fingers and listed all the movies like the back of his hand, leaving everyone confused as to what this guy was trying to do. What do these three movies have to do with your low-budget movie?

"Love Is Not Blind" claims to have an investment of 33 million yuan, but of course everyone knows that there must be some water in it.

There are quite a few low-budget movies like this every year, and most of them end up serving as cannon fodder in various schedules, while the remaining few have difficulty even being released.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Ming raised his fourth finger: "Love Is Not Blind" will be the fourth domestic film to exceed 33 million this year. I believe in Director Teng and our film."

hum!
The commotion spread with Xu Ming's powerful speech.

The flash suddenly came on.

Teng Huatao, who was standing by, was shocked. "Brother, you trust me so much, did you discuss this with me in advance? I don't even dare to trust myself like that."

A box office of over 100 million yuan is the title that every director dreams of in this period when the film market is not yet mature.

Xu Ming completely mastered the rhythm on the court.

He found that relying on Teng Huatao to create topics was no longer effective, so he decided to do it himself.

Why go to all the trouble of holding such a press conference?
It's just to stir up topics and create excitement, otherwise why would a bunch of them get together in such a cold weather to play house?

"In my opinion, Director Teng's level is definitely good enough. The reason for the failure of "The Devil in My Heart" is not him, but the failure to adapt to the local climate."

"What does it mean? If you want to gain support from mainland audiences, you have to tell stories about mainland China. The producer and screenwriter of that movie are all Taiwanese. Is there one actor from mainland China who is the male and female lead?"

Xu Ming looked heartbroken and was standing up for Teng Huatao, and he madly criticized this movie which was made two years ago.

Of course he knows that his argument is complete nonsense. The Sound of Wind, which will be released in September this year, was produced by the same producer and screenwriter of The Haunted Mansion and has been a huge success.

But people just like to listen to topics involving conspiracy theories and regional conflicts.

In the future, when you watch a short video, you can find tens of thousands of comments from netizens arguing over IP addresses alone.

The reporters in the audience were excited and kept pressing the shutter buttons of their cameras.

The creators on stage were at a loss.

Who am I? Where am I? Is this where I’m supposed to be?
"There is an unwritten rule in the industry that one of the main characters in a movie must be a Hong Kong or Taiwan artist. If you don't believe me, you can check if this is the case in the movies released in recent years."

"Even if our actors are famous enough, they can only play supporting roles for others. Is this fair?"

Xu Ming looked around at the reporters whose faces were flushed with excitement and issued his first greeting in the film and television industry.

Hi hi hi, I’m here!
