Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 170 Gossip Xiao Zhao, eating melons online

In addition to these, the lineup of other guest stars is also very strong.

It was mainly because Guo Fan relied on favors and connections to clear up a lot of his past, but Zhou Le also cleared up a lot.

Audiences are now actually disenchanted with high-paying performances. After all, most people only earn a few thousand yuan a month, and they really can't empathize with artists who are paid tens of millions for a play.

Unless the acting is exceptionally good, I would really want to watch the movie just by looking at the name, cast, and subject matter.

Although the early publicity of The Wandering Earth had a bit of viral marketing connotation, it still attracted a lot of passers-by thanks to the low pay.

"Please everyone, I've never begged anyone in my life."

This sentence has also become a hot topic during this period.

In addition, the trailer that has been released does have the feeling of a sci-fi blockbuster, so many people have begun to have some expectations.

"Director Guo, I've been thinking about this lately. We can't just promote the movie; that would be counterproductive. After all, you know me well. While I have a lot of traffic, I also have a lot of haters. The movie hasn't even been released yet, and already some people are giving it low ratings on Douban. It's even worse on Xiaohongshu."

Zhou Le said earnestly.

Guo Fan nodded: "Brother Le, I'll follow your instructions on how to promote it."

Zhou Le felt helpless.

Or Guo Fan could invite a lot of people back. When he needs help, he would be Brother Le, and when he doesn’t need them, he would just be Le.

But we can only say that this is also Guo Fan's characteristic.

Getting along with myself is like being a college roommate.

"Let's shoot some Tik Tok and make some jokes or something."

"it is good."

So, on the same day, Guo Fan registered a new Douyin account and posted a video.

Many people’s eyes go dark the moment they click on it.

Yi Shui Xiyi: "No, Guo Fan is also here to suck water?"

Feng Xinsever: "I can tell with my heels that this is definitely Zhou Le's trick."

It's Ah Yu, not Ah Yu: "Director Guo, are you selling your used Coke? If you sell it to me, I will take our entire village to a private theater to watch a movie."

Akatsuki Bee: "If there's really nothing left to live for, it can still bite lighters."

However, Guo Fan also responded to several of the comments.

"@易水兮棋, biting a lighter is dangerous behavior, you can't do that."

"@Yeah Yu, not Yu. I've already drunk this. Nothing was wasted."

Zhou Le was very satisfied with this, and then asked Guo Fan to do a lot of work, including but not limited to playing the "It smells so good", "The kids next door are crying with envy", "Debut in the C position", "Go for it", "Big Pig's Hoof", etc.

It's pretty lame, but some people still fall for it.

During this period, Douyin also contacted Guo Fan and said that it could provide some promotional resources from some media platforms under ByteDance, but it would require advertising at the end of the film.

Guo Fan naturally said no problem.

Not to mention Byte, even if a fish stall can have a strong promotional effect by live streaming, he wouldn't mind writing [A Qiang sells fish] on it.

But on this day.

Zhou Le received another call from Han Han.

"Le'er, when are you going to start promoting Fei Chi Ren Sheng?"

There was a sour taste in his words.

There is also some resentment.

"Everyone's releasing movies at the same time, but you're practically taking out your underwear to sell The Wandering Earth on Xianyu, while I haven't made a single splash."

But Guo Fan was also here at this time.

Guo Fan was sitting next to Zhou Le, and when he heard this, he slapped his head.

"That's a good idea! We can try it someday."

Zhao Jinmai sat a little further away and didn't know what Zhou Le had said on the phone, so he asked excitedly, "What idea? Tell me, how can I cooperate?"

The main reason is that she has been following Zhou Le and Guo Fan to make jokes on Douyin during this period, which makes her feel that it is much more fun than going to school.

The only drawback is that she still has to spend two hours every night doing homework and reviewing lessons.

After all, the first year of high school is the most important stage in the entire high school life.

It's time to lay the foundation.

In addition, the final exam is approaching, so during these two hours, Zhao Jinmai has to receive homework tutoring from Zhou Le.

But Zhou Le heard the resentment in Han Han's words.

"Director Han, there's nothing I can do if you think so."

"But I'm just helping Director Guo promote it now. When the time comes to promote our Fei Chi Life, I'll definitely be wholeheartedly committed."

"Give me a moment, please."

Han Han: “.”

"Scumbag!"

In the end, Han Han accepted Zhou Le's explanation.

In fact, he just called to inquire about the situation. He had already made plans for the publicity, but Lu Wei was a little jealous of the wave of Internet traffic that Zhou Le brought to Guo Fan.

"The Innate Flow Holy Body, I don't know where all these tricks come from."

After hanging up the phone, Han Han sighed.

Compared with Zhou Le, Shen Teng is considered to be pretentious.

However, there is another old horse emerging in this year's Spring Festival period.

After two years, Stephen Chow came back again and personally served as director, screenwriter and producer to shoot a new comedy king.

After all, many people now always feel that they owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket.

This year is no exception.

Therefore, the call for this new comedy king is also very high.

Also released at the same time was Detective Pu Songling, starring Cheng Long. The promotion said that special effects were used to make Cheng Long return to the age of 20, but Zhou Le felt that this movie should still rely mainly on emotion.

In addition, there is Mai Zhaohui's Integrity, co-starring two movie emperors Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jiahui.

Zhang Yimou’s new film "One Second" stars another film emperor, Zhang Yi.

There is also "The Love Master 2" starring Wu Xiubo, with the female lead Bai Baihe, and the second and third male leads are Xiao Yang and Qiao Shan.

"That's awesome! One Finger Zen and Wu Xiubo playing the romantic hero can be said to be a true portrayal of himself."

Zhou Le sighed in his heart.

But that, too, wasn't threatening.

As for those two Hong Kong films, Zhou Le is actually not too worried. After all, the current decline of Hong Kong films cannot be lifted by just Stephen Chow or Cheng Long.

Most of those who say they owe movie tickets don’t mind continuing to owe them, just like it’s easy to borrow money but hard to pay it back.

So in the final analysis, "I'll definitely do it next time" and "My money is useful" are the main themes.

Finally, I finished the promotion of The Wandering Earth in the midst of busy schedule.

After that, Zhou Le went to find Han Han without stopping.

Han Han is also doing publicity.

But the focus is different. Han Han's ability is unquestionable. Judging from the promotional video released alone, the movie "Speeding Life" is a combination of dreams, passion and humor.

There is a hint of openness in the reserved and revealing side of things, and this revealing side of things also carries the refreshing feeling of the return of the God of War.

So when promoting it, it’s like performing crosstalk.

After finishing the crosstalk, he started to move in a shocking way.

But for the better effect of the show, Han Han directly handed this part over to Zhou Le.

You can write the introduction freely without any restrictions as long as it does not violate public order and good morals.

"During filming, the director would often start warming up during the shoot, and most of the shots were shot by director Han Han himself.

Director Han Han is the cupping king in the racing field. Looking at the entertainment industry, he is probably the only one like him. I often suspect that Director Han Han's talent in the racing field and literary talent were exchanged for his investment talent. "

"Our lead actor, Mr. Shen Teng, got his racing and drifting licenses at the age of 40. Just imagine, a comedian, at 40, getting a racing license – what a veteran he must be."

"Of course, it's Yin Zheng and I who will be the finalists. We've both passed our racing license tests. Mr. Yin Zheng is now a contracted driver for an international racing club. I've also joined Han Han's Subaru team and have already signed up. In a few months, we'll both be vying for a spot on the track."

After Zhou Le finished speaking, the audience below roared with excitement.

For female audiences, although they don’t watch racing, the racing skill can create a filter when applied to an artist.

Just like some people like soldiers, police officers, and pilots.

Once he puts on the clothes, he looks so handsome.

This is especially true for male viewers.

Zhou Le was talking about this year's competition on stage, and most of the male audience members were thinking:

"You're awesome."

The first roadshow was very successful and received good responses.

But when they returned to the hotel at night, Han Han brought a bottle of wine to find Zhou Le.

"Le'er, go ahead and talk."

Zhou Le: "I'm sorry."

Han Han: “???”

"What are you sorry for?"

"I'm sorry, because I suspected that the car race you participated in was a water race."

Han Han smiled: "That's okay."

But he quickly realized: "That's not right, who asked you that?"

Zhou Le scratched his head: "I'm sorry that I didn't tell the truth at that time. My film enlightenment was not actually "See You Tomorrow".

Han Han: “.”

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Zhou Le: "Han Han, you really want to force me to speak my mind, right?" Han Han sighed: "I didn't ask you to apologize, who asked you to speak your mind."

"Ah? Aren't you sorry?" Zhou Le thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Han, although I'm single now, my sexual orientation is normal. Besides women, I like pretty helicopter gunships that look like girls."

Han Han looked at Zhou Le and kept interrupting him.

"Have you really forgotten? Didn't you say you wanted to promote Speedy Life? Expand its influence on the internet? Isn't that what you said?"

Zhou Le suddenly realized: "Mr. Han, look at yourself, why don't you just ask directly."

"Okay, let me ask you directly now. What good ideas do you have for publicity?"

Zhou Le shook his head.

"Didn't figure it out?"

"No, I mean I haven't thought about it in that direction yet."

Han Han got anxious on the spot.

"Believe it or not, I cut all your scenes!"

Zhou Le quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Han, I just haven't started thinking about it yet, but that doesn't mean I can't come up with one!"

Han Han quickly asked, "What did you think of?"

Zhou Le: "Mr. Han, why don't you perform the dragon sucking water?" After saying that, seeing Han Han's face darken, Zhou Le immediately added: "Or you can bite the lighter."

Han Han: "Zhou Le!"

Zhou Le spread his hands.

However, at this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "How about you organize a car race?"

Han Han: "You've been holding it in for so long and this is what you came up with?"

Zhou Le waved his hand: "No, sit down and listen to me first. This is not an ordinary race car, and it doesn't even need to be too complicated. In fact, it is more like a variety show. The people who come to race can be internet celebrities, entertainers, or even athletes, but they must not be professional racers.

For example, Papi Jiang, Wang Sicong, Xue Zhiqian, Da Zhangwei, Fu Yuanhui, etc., or Lao Fanqie from Bilibili or some rap buddies.

They don't need to compete on the same stage when they come, just let them take turns running on the same track, it won't even cost much. Young Master Han, if you can show off your beauty, you might be able to get them to come for free."

After Zhou Le finished speaking, Han Han also began to think seriously.

This is very feasible.

And using this method to promote is very advanced.

More importantly, it has great potential.

The movie was released for two months, so they could have shot for a month and a half.

But if the film can really be promoted, the box office will definitely be much higher than the appearance fees paid to those people.

The people Zhou Le mentioned are this year's most popular athletes, celebrities and internet celebrities.

"let me consider it."

Zhou Le nodded: "If this idea is used, Mr. Han, remember to give me the creative fee."

Han Han looked up: "This costs money? Then why is it free for Guo Fan?"

"What do you mean by free? Director Guo may be poor, but he gave me shares. Those are all real money. Now I own 10% of his company."

Han Han: "I'll pay for you to prepare your car for the competition later!"

"make a deal!"

During the competition, the car naturally belongs to the team, but sometimes you also need to spend money to modify and prepare it.

It’s just that the price can be slightly cheaper because of the manufacturer’s support. Sometimes when the car needs to be upgraded, the team will provide certain help.

Afterwards, Han Han really started to prepare for this matter.

The venue and the car are easy to deal with. We can directly use Subaru's venue and car. As the team's main racer, this kind of help can still be provided.

Even if the team has to think about it, the car brand behind it will strongly support it.

They usually spend more than this on marketing.

Zhao Jinmai went back to take part in the final exams, and then came straight to play with Zhou Le.

Zhao Jinmai's parents were also relieved.

When filming The Wandering Earth, Zhou Le was the one who always brought his daughter with him.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll take good care of Jinmai. I'll go out in a few days and buy her some workbooks and books for next semester. On the one hand, I want her to consolidate the knowledge she gained last semester, and on the other hand, I want her to preview the content for next semester so she doesn't fall behind."

Zhou Le finished speaking.

Zhao Jinmai's mother was also more relieved.

After her mother left, Zhao Jinmai looked at Zhou Le with a bitter face.

"Brother Le, do you really want me to have such a miserable winter vacation?"

Zhou Le smiled and said, "What do you mean by miserable? Young comrade, your mentality is very problematic. I think learning is fun, especially after solving a difficult problem. It feels like suddenly releasing urine after holding it for two hours."

Zhao Jinmai grinned: "What a disgusting metaphor."

"The words are rough but the reasoning is not rough."

Zhao Jinmai asked again: "What are we going to do now?"

Zhou Le thought for a moment and said, "First, go buy the exercise book, then go grab the doll."

"Great!"

Zhao Jinmai automatically ignored the first half of the sentence.

That afternoon they spent the whole afternoon playing catching dolls in the arcade, and then Zhao Jinmai played the dance machine for a while.

"Brother Le, come too."

Zhou Le waved his hand: "No, no, I'm afraid you'll feel inferior."

Zhao Jinmai: “???”

"Brother Le, you are looking down on me. I have been learning to dance since I was a child."

five minutes later.

Zhao Jinmai fell into deep thought as he looked at Zhou Le's score which was close to full marks.

How come I am not better than anyone else in any way?

Not as good as studying, not as good as practicing, not even as good as the dance machine?
Zhou Le said, "I'm not familiar with it, so I didn't perform well."

But I still feel proud in my heart.

System guy is awesome, and pole dancing is really a training exercise.

Zhou Le felt that if he could travel through time and become the emperor, he would have to make all his concubines learn pole dancing.

Zhao Jinmai, who was hit hard, felt better after Zhou Le treated him to a cup of milk tea.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhao Jinmai sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Brother Le, do you think that Yan from Fahrenheit was really given?"

Zhou Le nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Jinmai bared his teeth: "Then Que Qingzi and Ji Lingchen."

"separated."

"Ma Sichun and Ou Hao."

"separated."

"Yang Zi and Qin Junjie?"

"We've divided it too."

Zhou Le knew all these things very well.

Zhao Jinmai sighed, "Love is so unreliable. I don't believe in love anymore."

Zhou Le: “.”

"You don't believe it, you're just a kid. You should have more hope for the future."

Zhao Jinmai was nestled in the passenger seat, playing with her hair while looking at Zhou Le: "Brother Le, do you believe it?"

"I believe it."

"So when are you getting married?"

"Me? I'm not getting married."

Zhao Jinmai: “.”

After that, whether Zhou Le was promoting Speeding Life or Crazy Alien, Zhao Jinmai followed him all the time.

In the meantime, Meng Ziyi, Nazha, Xiaotian Yu Shuxin and others came to Zhou Le for dinner, and gave gifts after seeing Zhao Jinmai.

"Brother Le, it's so great to follow you!"

"Why, does it feel like the group pet?"

"Yes, everyone is nice to me, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone about these things."

Zhou Le didn't say anything about it.

But Zhao Jinmai quickly asked again, "By the way, Brother Le, there's another drama that's looking for me. It's an urban family drama, and I'm playing the daughter of the two leading actors. Do you think I should go?"

“Who’s the lead actor?”

"Zhang Jiayi and Teacher Yan Ni."

"You can go then. Ask your mother to discuss the pay."

Zhao Jinmai asked curiously, "How much money should I ask for?"

Zhou Le pondered for a moment, "You've acted in many dramas before, and this time you play the leading female role in The Wandering Earth. For a TV series, you'll need around 200 million. It's okay to be higher, but not lower than this."

Zhao Jinmai was confused.

She has never received such a high salary since her debut.

"Isn't two million a bit too much?"

"Don't worry, it's not much. Your pay will get higher and higher in the future. Now is just the beginning. When you become rich in the future, don't forget me."

Zhao Jinmai's confidence suddenly increased: "Brother Le, don't worry, when I really make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely buy you a car and a house!"
