1991 dumbfounding
“I thought that we were the spokespersons of the movie. I didn’t understand why we needed to set up a spokesperson? As far as I know, he didn't appear in it, right? Is there a reporter on site who can answer my questions?？”
Renly's words stunned all the reporters. Because of Renly's seriousness and the reporter's muteness, the sharp contrast between the back and forth made the absurdity and absurdity behind this incident more and more prominent. come out.
The media at the scene were a little panicked: What's going on? Didn't the organizers explain these things to Renly? This is a propaganda plan with Chinese characteristics. Now it is blatantly thrown to reporters to explain, leaving reporters on the scene in a difficult situation. Is this really good? Is this really a good way to promote the movie? Aren’t the crew worried that Chris Wu’s fans will drown Renly in their saliva? So what should they do now? They can't explain it either! They don’t dare to explain! What else can we do now?？
damn it.
But Renly on the stage didn't seem to know that he had stirred up a hornet's nest. He continued his usual style, turned to look at Anne and Nolan, and asked easily, "Or, he actually starred in the movie, but he was just in the movie." I was not able to work with him on different filming sets, so my behavior was too rude. Please make sure to express my sincere apology. I definitely didn’t mean it..”
Nolan shrugged lightly and said nothing, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious..
Anne winked at Renly playfully, as if to say: Be careful when playing with fire..
The eye contact was just a momentary touch, and then Renly calmly turned his head and looked straight ahead, waiting for an answer..
Gu Cailing stood on the side stage and couldn't help but become nervous.——
Regarding the proposal of the spokesperson and Chris Wu, this is a public relations plan from China. On the one hand, they hope to open barriers for Hollywood movies and get closer to China’s local situation. Traffic stars are the current status of China’s entertainment industry. Using traffic stars To drive traffic is now the simplest and most convenient way - PR companies are either lazy or lucky, refusing to think about more creative publicity models, and simply apply the Chinese model to all situations.
On the other hand, they also hope to use Hollywood movies to "add value" to those traffic stars. After all, there are very few opportunities for Hollywood movies to come to promote, and public relations companies are rooted in China. If they can use such an opportunity to inlay gold for traffic stars , in the future, these public relations companies will be able to cooperate more with traffic stars. For traffic stars, this is an opportunity to get closer to Hollywood. For public relations companies, this is an opportunity to pretend to be powerful, which can be described as a win-win situation..
To this end, the public relations company held many conversations and discussions with Warner Bros. Initially, Warner Bros. also refused; but the public relations company later successfully persuaded Warner Bros. In the past few years, Hollywood movies have never been able to fully open up the market, because Localized publicity was not enough, and Warner Bros. agreed with this, so they agreed and packaged all the publicity work and entrusted it. They looked forward to opening up a new situation after localization and laying the foundation for Warner Bros.'s own follow-up release plan..
But... regarding Chris Wu, they never asked Renly for his opinion. They discussed the whole process with Warner Bros. They thought Warner Bros. had completed communication with Renly, Annie and others, but now it seems that it obviously has not..
Gu Cailing couldn't predict how Renli would react, but she could put herself in his shoes and think about it.：
If it is a finished product exhibition that has been completed after countless hard work of the team, and an unrelated person suddenly appears on the stage, wanting to take advantage of the halo, or even step on the shoulders of the team, how will she react?？
The atmosphere at the press conference was a little strange. Everyone was looking at each other, but no one was willing to stand up and bear Renly's attack firepower. What should I do?？
“Actually, that's the case." Finally, a reporter stood up, and all the eyes of the audience were directed towards him, with a look of sudden realization in his eyes.：
The reporter has a close personal relationship with Chris Wu's agency - if anyone is curious about how this soaring "gold-encrusted" opportunity works, the answer is the agency and advertising sponsors. Now, a crisis arises , the media connections of the brokerage company must come in handy..
But the person involved was actually very helpless. He really didn't want to deal with this embarrassing mess, but... what could he do? He could only explain it hard, "In Chinese promotional films, the situation may be a little different. The audience doesn't know much about Hollywood movies. We need an artist who is more familiar with the local culture...well, more approachable to serve as an image spokesperson." , promote movies to the masses.”
“I think this is why we came to the Magic City to promote the movie." Renly was still serious about discussing academic issues, without ridicule or comedy, but it was precisely this focus that made the reporters on the scene more and more embarrassed - those The high-sounding excuses are actually just sophistry. It's all Renly's fault. Why would he want to get to the bottom of it? Some things are meaningless once they are revealed..
But Renly didn't care. He still had no intention of giving up. "So..." he trailed off, "You mean, he is more suitable to represent this movie than us?" A person who did not appear in the movie at all artist? What is the logic of this?？
“……Yes." I always felt weird, but I couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so I could only nod my head..
Renly nodded slightly in realization, but he couldn't tell what the smile meant. Even the slightly pursed corners of his mouth seemed meaningful. Then Renly did not continue to embarrass the reporters, but turned his head to look Anne and Nolan, "It seems that there is no need for us to come here at all. Our work seems to be in vain. In fact, we can entrust this position to the spokesperson and let him complete the publicity. This should be a better choice. , right？”
Really？
Is it really necessary to be so cynical? Is it really necessary to be so open-minded? Is it really necessary to be so sinister?？
The reporters at the scene were all confused, and their gazes on Renly became sharp and sharp. If eyes were arrows, I am afraid that Renly's body would have been filled with arrows at this time, and he would have turned into a porcupine in a second..
How could Renly not feel it? But he didn't care, and instead said into the microphone, "Sometimes, those things you take for granted and are accustomed to, don't mean they are correct." The corners of his mouth still had a slight arc, but the warmth hidden in them had disappeared..
After saying that, Renly sat quietly in his seat. He didn't get angry or turn around to leave. He just stayed there quietly..
Annie noticed the abnormality and turned off the microphone. After quietly approaching, she asked in a low voice, "What's going on with that Chris Wu?" Obviously, Annie and Nolan didn't know anything about it. Renly simply used After explaining it in a few words, you can see that their faces are a little weird, and they don't know how to describe their complicated emotions, but the confusion in their eyes disappeared and they didn't say anything more..
Apparently, they also chose to support Renly..
In the silence, the reporters were also thinking, as if they were thinking about how this matter should be handled and how the news reports should be directed. For a moment, the press conference was once again plunged into a wonderful atmosphere, and then... He raised his right hand high, breaking the deadlock, which made the host breathe a sigh of relief. Although today was almost a stage show, it was true that a host was arranged for the press conference, and he immediately named the reporter..
In sight, a young face stood up, dressed in fashionable attire that was even more gorgeous and grand than the three protagonists on the stage..
The host's heart suddenly "thumped", Oops! This is obviously self-media! what to do? He has an ominous feeling now, but it's too late to regret it.
“Renly, my question is, are you really not going to talk about Chris-Wu? "Confident English, not to mention whether the pronunciation is standard, but the content of the question is eye-catching - after saying so much in front of him, doesn't he still understand? He actually asked Renly to say it bluntly.？
“No, I have no such plan." Renly gave an accurate and definite answer, leaving no room for error, and then the atmosphere became stiff..
Gu Cailing knew that it was time for her to step forward. She had to save the atmosphere at the scene because it was her job, but she didn't want to.
The last time Renly came to promote "Gravity", a similar situation occurred; now it has happened again, with an illusion of time travel. Don't these media have better questions? ? Isn’t there a better topic to talk about about actors and movies?？
Gu Cailing inexplicably developed an atmosphere and anger, and couldn't help but want to drive all the reporters out, but she couldn't do this, so she angrily allowed the stiff atmosphere to continue - —She may or may not know what the consequences will be, but she doesn’t care anymore..
“Renly, may I ask one more question? "The fashionable young man from the media seemed to be unable to receive Renly's signal at all - or in other words, he received it but didn't care; however, judging from his smile and appearance, he did not receive it. more likely.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not stop him. There was also a hint of expectation..
“Excuse me, do you know Han-Lu?？”
The smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, because it was too ridiculous - even more ridiculous than imagined, so that Renly's mood became happy, as if he was enjoying an Italian comedy, "No.”
“He is the most popular actor among the younger generation in China. He said on Weibo that he likes your movie very much. When you arrived in Shanghai, he also posted a number of updates, which triggered a lot of discussion. For the movie Publicity contributed to.”
“Thank you." Renly's answer was still concise and clear, and the smile in his eyes was already overflowing..
