Chapter 51: Promotional Expert
Sure enough, when Huang Lu heard Shen Lang's suggestion, he immediately thought it was reliable.
They are all ready-made films, so you just need to find an editor to help you cut them into short videos.
That evening, the short story clip at the beginning of the entire film was released online by the crew's publicity department.
As soon as he posted it, Shen Lang received a call from Huang Lu: "Teacher Shen, please check our official Weibo to see if it is what you said!"
Shen Lang logged into Weibo after hanging up the phone.
Hmm, there are red ellipsis in the private message column again. The black fans are really relentless in harassing him!
Just choose to ignore.
He searched for the five words "name of person" in the search bar and quickly clicked on the crew's Weibo.
There are about thirty Weibo posts.
The previous ones were similar, such as the establishment of a film crew and which talented actors joined.
It's very much like a company's personnel appointment, dull and tedious, and few people click on it.
Only below the news announcing that the main characters Lu Yi, Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang and others had joined the crew, were there some fans of each of them stopping by to check in!
But when the filming was completed and the crew entered the promotion stage and some trailers were released, the situation began to improve.
There were also many comments from movie fans below.
Shen Lang opened the comments below a Weibo post and took a look.
[Mountain Dance Silver Snake]: This is another anti-corruption TV series, but I wonder if this crew dares to shoot it?
[Miao Sen Lei Xin]: I don't care whether he dares to shoot it or not. I'm here purely to pursue Lu Yi. As long as Uncle Lu is handsome, that's enough. No matter how bad the movie is, it has nothing to do with me.
[Natural Sewer]: If you ask me, it’s better not to make this kind of film. But you dare not say it, and you still have to use the banner of anti-corruption. Isn’t this just being a gangster and cheating people out of money?
……
Shen Lang nodded when he saw this.
It seems that just as he thought, the audience's concerns are basically focused on this point.
Then let’s see the effect of the medicine that suits your condition!
He scrolled directly to the top of Weibo, where he saw the video that the crew had just released.
Click to open...
The scene begins with Lu Yi opening the refrigerator.
The moment I opened the refrigerator door, I saw that it was full of money.
The camera turned and the scene came to Zhao Dehan, played by Hou Yong.
Voice-over subtitles:
In the play: Zhao De
At this moment, the barrage in the video suddenly broke out at this second...
"Fuck, this crew is so bold! Other dramas have section chiefs, county magistrates, or at most a mayor, but this drama goes straight to the departmental level?"
"Look, how much cash is there in this refrigerator? This... Teacher Hou Yong is too greedy, isn't he?
……
At this moment, the scene changed again. Lu Yi turned around and looked at Zhao Dehan sternly. He didn't say a word, but that look seemed to speak: "See if you have anything else to say now!"
Teacher Hou Yong is indeed a veteran actor.
The camera turned around and saw his face change from the initial fear when he was discovered to the frustration and regret after his psychological defenses collapsed, and finally to the fear...
The emotional changes within these few seconds are definitely not something that many young actors today can compare to.
Such a wonderful performance, the bullet comments were pouring down like crazy again.
"Fuck! Teacher Hou is indeed a veteran actor. Every frame is textbook-level!"
"Just for this clip, I want to continue watching it! I love it, I love it! What the hell are those TV dramas nowadays? This is what acting is all about, okay? I suggest that these few seconds of Teacher Hou's scene be moved to the classroom of the Imperial Capital Film Academy, so that those people can study it carefully!"
"To be honest, I was quite shocked. It is foreseeable that Zhao Dehan in the film must have had a fluke mentality at the beginning, but now he has been caught by Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi. I am very curious about how the subsequent plot will develop?"
"Yeah, I didn't see Mr. Hou's name among the leading actors. If a supporting actor's acting is this bad, I'm more curious whether the leading actors can hold up to it!"
"Come on @ your friends and watch the drama together!"
……
The video has not yet ended. Zhao Dehan burst into tears and banged his head against the refrigerator door, saying in pain: "I was wrong, I was wrong!"
The scene changed, and an ordinary wall suddenly rose slowly, and as the electric wall rose, the famous scene of this drama came.
A whole wall of money, a whole wall...
Shen Lang suddenly couldn't see the content of the video.
All the images were covered by the pouring comments.
"Fuck... so much money, how much did Zhao Dehan embezzle? I thought a refrigerator was a lot, it seems poverty limits my imagination!"
"Is it really okay for the director team to shoot like this? They are so bold, aren't they? I'm curious, how did this drama pass the review?"
"You probably don't know this, but this film was supported by the Supreme People's Procuratorate of China. When they came to our Jiangsu Province, they even borrowed the venue from our company to shoot some scenes!"
"May I ask what your company is..."
"Public Security Dispatch Center!"
"...Police, hello, police officer!"
I'm angry.
Totally popular.
Within less than an hour of the video being posted online, more than 300,000 people watched it.
Next, several Weibo celebrities and UP hosts reposted it, and all of a sudden, the video moved from Weibo to the short video circle.
The forwarding and commenting in the short video circle is even more crazy.
That night, this video directly hit the top of the trending search list.
The first place in the hot search on the short video platform, the news of a celebrity’s official marriage announcement was instantly defeated by this video and ranked second.
But as more and more derivative videos of this video are coming out.
The attention paid to the film "The People" immediately created a siphon effect.
The next morning, it seemed like the whole world was talking about this upcoming TV series!
Huang Lu called again early in the morning: "Teacher Shen, you are truly the most versatile genius I have ever seen in the film and television industry."
Facing the compliments, Shen Lang must be modest: "The editor is really good!"
"No!" Huang Lu said seriously on the other end of the phone, "We don't lack good editors, but we lack people who can find and correct problems. Teacher Shen, you are really the lucky star of our crew. Now that I think about it, I should have kept you in the crew. If we had started the promotion and marketing at that time, we would not be able to do it now..."
Shen Lang: "..."
Huang Lu asked excitedly: "Teacher Shen, what should we do next?"
Shen Lang groaned for a moment and said, "Release it as soon as possible! Catch the traffic!"
Speaking of this, Huang Lu became even more excited: "The TV station staff just called me and said that the TV series will be moved up to next Monday and will be released simultaneously on two domestic TV stations!"
Shen Lang nodded and asked, "Director Huang, I don't mean anything else. Is the 200 million that Zhao Dehan embezzled real money?"
Huang Lu said as a matter of course: "Of course, they are all pulled directly from the printing factory!"
"Oh my god..." Shen Lang was surprised.
"But they are all stamped and cannot be used outside!"
Just say, Huang Lu, can you breathe heavily when you speak? It scares people.
The reason why Shen Lang asked this was not because he was crazy because of poverty, but because he was planning to take Wang Zhuo to rob.
Instead, he came up with a small idea for publicity and promotion for the group!
After he finished speaking to Huang Lu, Huang Lu slapped his thigh and said, "Teacher Shen, you should stop acting. It's a waste of talent. I have many friends who are directors. How about recommending you to work in their group to do publicity and promotion?"
Shen Lang's eyes lit up: "How is the salary for this job?"
"With your level, you will definitely get an annual salary! Starting at 300,000 a year, the best in the industry, how about that?"
"Director, are there any other roles like perverts?"
Huang Lu: “…”
Let me tell you, this book is just a refreshing piece of writing. Don't tell me that if you like high-brow literature, go read Shakespeare! I don't have it here.
What's here is vulgar, just like Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian. If I don't like the article, I'd better abandon it as soon as possible to avoid making you unhappy. I'm also unhappy after reading the comments!
