Chapter 198 Doesn’t this fit Le’er’s mental state?

"My friends, I, Zhou Le, have never begged anyone for anything in my life. There's an animated film coming out soon that I'm dubbing. The production company is so broke that all the money went into making the film, leaving little for promotion. The film will be released on July 7th. I hope everyone who's interested can go and support this carefully crafted Chinese animated film. Thank you so much. @DirectorJiaozi, @Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World."

In order to promote it, Zhou Le posted another Weibo.

Now Zhou Le can only use this method to promote his work.

Zhou Le is clear about its quality, and it is impossible for any other Zhou Le to use this method to promote its products.

For example, "Evil Never Dies" will be released on the 13th. Zhou Le also told Jiang Wen that "Evil Never Dies" cost a lot of money and there are many big names in it. The funds are sufficient. When the time comes, Zhou Le only needs to forward the Weibo.

Jiang Wen could also understand.

After all, he was very poor for a period of time, but at least he had channels to raise funds.

So, after Zhou Le posted on Weibo, Jiang Wen also reposted it.

"If you have the conditions, support it. It's really not easy for new directors."

After seeing this, fans also became interested one by one. After all, they actually knew about this when "The Wandering Earth" was about to be released.

In order to make some money at that time, producers Gong Ge'er and Zhou Le went out to make money to subsidize the crew, one of which was "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".

However, the release date of the film had not yet been announced at that time.

So fans just got to know about it briefly.

Dark Killing Matt: "Brother Le is a real talent. He can even dub animations. I must go and watch them. The previous Monkey King, Kuiba and Legend of the White Snake series were all very good. I hope Chinese animation can really rise."

He only knows how to brag: "Why does this sound familiar? I think the movie "The Wandering Earth" said the same thing."

Lin Ziyi's cat: "Hahahaha, I've never begged anyone in my life. Didn't I already beg for help during The Wandering Earth?"

Master Zhi Ge: "If you want me to go to the cinema, that's fine. It's very simple. As long as you follow me, I will treat everyone in the company to a movie."

The world's top diver: "If that's the case, then I can do it too. As long as Brother Le stays with me for one night, I can take everyone in our village to see a movie."

Zhou Le’s promotion on Weibo has a very good effect.

This is also due to Zhou Le's own attributes on the Internet. Although most of the people he attracts are just for fun, no matter what, at least as an actor, he is still very clean.

Although there are some romantic news, today it is rumored that he has some relationship with Nazha, and tomorrow it is rumored that he has some scandals with Meng Ziyi and Tian Xiwei.

But to others, we are all friends, and we are all busy with our own things.

Besides, they have never officially announced their relationship, so no one really cares to delve into these consensual things.

Besides, Zhou Le is handsome. If he changes his development direction and packages himself well, he will definitely be a top star even if he becomes an idol.

However, just as Zhou Le posted this, Wang Changtian, the boss of Light Media, also posted on Weibo and interviewed several media outlets.

"Mr. Wang, how much do you think Nezha will be able to do at the box office?"

Wang Changtian thought for a moment and said, "I think it will be at least 4 billion. After all, Director Jiaozi put a lot of effort into making it, and with Zhou Le helping with the promotion, it can't be bad.

I've gotten to know Zhou Le. He's an interesting person, but the works he's starred in all have their merits. Of course, when we at Guangguang invest in a project, we also evaluate its potential."

Reporter: "Will you continue to consider cooperating with Zhou Le in the future?"

Wang Changtian: "I will definitely consider it. Actually, we have some history. I was the first to invest in Jiaozi's studio, and later Zhou Le also invested. Zhou Le and Wu Jing have a good relationship, and Wu Jing's wife Xie Nan is one of our three treasures in Guangxian."

The things Wang Changtian mentioned most during the interview were dumplings and Zhou Le.

But after the video was released, people remained skeptical about this statement.

After all, many people have been dissatisfied with the film market in recent years.

Attack whoever has the highest box office.

The reason why "Wolf Warrior" has a high box office is due to patriotism, everything else is a mess.

"The Wandering Earth" has a high box office but it doesn't live up to its reputation. It's ugly, forcedly sentimental, etc.

The reason why "Speeding Life" has a high box office is its sketch style.

Even at that time, some people said that some of the plots of "Operation Red Sea" were unreasonable and the scenes were too bloody.

In short, every time a movie’s box office goes up, people will always point out various problems.

Wang Changtian's statement that Nezha's box office revenue was at least 40 billion yuan was naturally criticized.

"Four billion? Are you kidding me? Can a cartoon be four billion?"

"It seems like another movie that is hyped by capital."

These days, Zhou Le has been preparing for some upcoming business activities and the promotion of two movies.

So I start live streaming every day when I have free time.

If you are in the hotel, just play games; if you are outside, just chat.

"Brother Le, did you really voice Nezha in Nezha?"

Zhou Le saw this barrage.

"Yes, both the young Nezha and the adult Nezha are matched."

"Brother Le, Wang Changtian predicts that Nezha will have a box office of 4 billion. What about you? How much do you think it will be?"

"Four billion? Mr. Wang is still too conservative. I predict it will be at least five billion. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the highest-grossing movie in China right now.

Of course, you're only asking me this. If you were to ask Director Jiaozi, he'd probably only say 2 billion. Predictions aren't always accurate, but I think this movie is worth that much."

"Brother Le, which movie on the list do you think is the most unworthy of its reputation?"

Zhou Le thought for a moment and said, "Your question is quite tricky, but I can't praise one and criticize the other. The high box office of other people's movies is their own ability, whether it is based on the content, the feelings or the high production level.

Everyone who makes it up there definitely has their merits, but I think Nezha should also be in that category.”

"Brother Le, do you have any animated movies you recommend for us to watch?"

“Yes, I do have some recommendations. The movie ‘Coco’ that came out two years ago was pretty good, and I also like the Minions series.

Then there's Kung Fu Panda, but I've only seen the first one, and I've seen it many times. I don't know the rest, so it's hard for me to comment on it."

"Brother Le, I'm 26 years old now and I still love watching anime, but people around me always say I watch anime like a child."

Zhou Le laughed at this. "Watching anime and playing games are the most economical ways to pass the time. So what? Do the people who criticize you have a good life if they don't watch these things? Watching anime and playing games at home is better than going out to do other things, right? Of course, you can watch, but you still have to do the serious things in life."

But fans always ask this question and it gets off track.

"Brother Le, I've been very distressed recently because I'm not a good husband, nor a good father, and certainly not a good son."

Zhou Le was suddenly cheered up when he saw this.

Finally, someone has arrived who needs guidance.

"No one is perfect sometimes." Zhou Le counseled while clicking on the other person's profile picture, and then his eyes went dark.

"You're a girl, you're such a good husband and son!"

"Brother Le, I also want to be a star. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Zhou Le sighed, "To be frank, the most taboo thing about this industry is that it's ours. I'm not worried that working in this industry will take my job away. It's mainly because I've relied on luck to get ahead. If I get ahead, I get ahead. There are so many extras in Hengdian, and everyone wants to be a star, but most of them can only make a living. Even with this experience, it's not as good as having a normal job."

Although Zhou Le said that he relied on luck, fans still think that Zhou Le is capable.

If we really want to talk about people who rely purely on their strength, they can easily name a lot of people.

But Zhou Le is definitely not one of them.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Le went off the air.

Recently Zhou Le has to participate in this year's Weibo Movie Night.

So Zhou Le had to go to Shanghai again.

However, with the lessons learned from last year, and a year later, all the movies in which Zhou Le had participated were released, and their performances were better than the last, and their popularity was also higher than the last.

So we can see some clues just from the hotel arrangements.

Last year, the organizers didn't even arrange a hotel for Zhou Le, so he stayed at a place arranged by Han Han. "This year, things are better for us. We're staying in a five-star hotel suite arranged by the organizers."

At this moment, Deng Chao, Hu Ge, Guo Fan and others were sitting in Zhou Le's room.

"Le'er, many people outside say Director Guo is a succubus, but I think you are the one. Look at us top artists and directors, aren't we all running into your room?"

Deng Chao said with a smile.

There was an opened glass of red wine on the table.

The red wine was still brought by Deng Chao. Every time he came out, Deng Chao would bring some, not to mention that Zhou Le was there this time.

"Brother Chao, you're embarrassing me. The word 'succubus' is easily misunderstood. I'd better open the door to the room. Otherwise, the media will tell them that I'm an unruly person and that I've called everyone to do something bad in the room. I don't care, but I hope it won't affect you guys later."

"Haha, forget about opening the door. It's just a misunderstanding. Le'er is so popular now, it's good to be able to take advantage of her popularity." Hu Ge said with a smile.

Although Hu Ge often plays profound roles on the screen now, he is still a funny guy in private.

"But Brother Hu might have a good harvest this time, with 'The Climbers' and 'The Gathering at Southern Station'. Shouldn't he treat us?"

Zhou Le said.

"Please, you must. I'll set up a table tomorrow night and we'll all go then."

"Brother Hu is so generous!"

Seeing that he had gotten another meal, Zhou Le looked at Lu Han.

"Le'er, don't look at me. I'm scared. Can't I treat you? I'll come after Brother Hu treats you. Anyway, we all arrived early this time. I'm bored these days, so why not find something to do?"

Deng Chao: "That's right, let's go out for a walk later."

Guo Fan: "Why don't you choose the place, Le'er? You're the youngest, so you'll definitely know where the fun is. We'll go with you then."

"Okay, although I don't know much about Shanghai, I can ask later."

So they made an appointment to go out for a walk the next day.

It was not until the next morning that Deng Chao found a car and Zhou Le hurriedly called Han Han.

"Mr. Han, I have a question. What are some fun places in Shanghai? I'm planning to go out and hang out with my friends."

Han Han thought for a moment and said, "No. 600 Wanping South Road."

"Is it fun?"

"It's definitely fun, just go, I guarantee you won't make a sound once you go."

"Got it."

Then Zhou Le went downstairs.

Then he got into Deng Chao’s business car.

The person driving the car was Deng Chao.

"Come on, Le'er. We'll leave everything to you today. Wherever you say we want to go, I'll drive there."

Zhou Le: "No. 600 Wanping South Road."

Deng Chao: “OK.”

Wanping South Road is in XH District. Deng Chao roughly knew the location, so after arriving there, they began to search according to the house number.

"Haha, there is a mental hospital here." Several people in the car said with a smile while looking at the scenery on both sides.

"That's right, but where is this number 600?"

No one in the group used the navigation, they just searched hard.

"I feel like I should turn around from the front, and No. 600 should be on the opposite side."

Deng Chao turned his car around at the intersection.

After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a sign with the number 600.

"This way in."

The security guard at the door was directing.

Then the car drove in.

Deng Chao is a good driver and drove into the parking space steadily.

Then several people got off the car.

Looking at the building in front of me, there is a sign on it saying Shanghai Mental Health Center.

Several people:"."

Deng Chao: "Le'er, is this the fun place you told me about?"

Lu Han couldn't stop laughing: "Maybe for Le'er, this place really suits Le'er's mental state."

Guo Fan: "I think since we're here, we should just make the best of it. Why not go in and register? After all, everyone in this line of work must be under a lot of mental pressure."

Hu Ge: "To be honest, I was confused at first. I thought you guys were really going to come here to play."

Zhou Le: "Brothers, this is not my fault. I asked Han Han, and he introduced this place to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at Hu Ge.

"You're a local, aren't you? You didn't tell me at first. Were you deliberately trying to make fun of us?"

Hu Ge: "I swear to God I really don't. Okay, I do have some, but I don't know what you guys are up to."

"What should we do now?"

Zhou Le was helpless: "The only fun place I know of is Disneyland. We can't..."

"Disney? Disney is fine too, let's go to Disney."

At this time, Lu Han suddenly said, "You can go, but I'm afraid of heights. You can go up to the more dangerous places. I'll show you the bag below."

Finally, everyone decided to go to Disneyland.

"Oh, wait a minute. We'll have to pay for it when we get there. Let me find someone to pay for it."

After saying that, he called Han Han.

"Master Han, you've screwed me over badly."

Han Han: "No, did you search?"

Zhou Le: "We're here."

"Right now, Brother Chao, Hu Ge, Lu Han, Director Guo and I are all staring at each other. 600 Wanping South Road has completely embarrassed me."

Han Han didn't expect Zhou Le to be so stubborn as to go there without navigation.

I didn't expect that there was no one in the car to provide navigation.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I didn't expect you guys to be so hardcore. So where are you going now? I'll treat you guys and take you on a good trip."

About half an hour later.

Han Han also arrived.

Deng Chao then drove to his destination.

After arriving at the place, Han Han pointed to Disney in front of him.

"No, you grown men came here to play?"

“Is that right?”
