Chapter 182 Popularity and Nationality
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Gan Tao, who plays the role of Jiang Wuyang in the film "The Legend of the Constitution".
Another roadshow after the release of "The Legend of the Confession" was directed by director Chen Kexing, Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Gan Tao and Xu Jinglei to the university campus.
Gan Tao is familiar with the campus, but no matter whether it is the elementary school, middle school, Xiejin Art School, which has been renamed in society, or the drama school in Haishi, they have not encountered such persistent and serious students.
"Director Feng and I really have no holiday! As for the question of "Assembly" in Tongxin Theater, you have to ask Tongxin Pictures. Now I am just a simple actor in "The Letter of the Name".
After introducing himself, this is his third time answering the argument that Feng Xiaogang and Gan Tao are inconsistent with the college student on the spot!
After he repeatedly denied the conspiracy theory, college students at the scene turned their topics to Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Xu Jinglei.
Among these three, Xu Jinglei is an intellectual beauties in the minds of college students, and her every frown and smile is eye-catching. Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua are actors and singers with super high national popularity. No matter where they go, they never lack attention and topics.
And all he has is the illusory popularity.
In 2007, people not only did not pay much attention to the terms popularity and national popularity, but they could not clearly interpret it. However, he knew that his popularity was not a little worse than that of the two superstars.
He debuted with "Suzhou River", but he became really popular with the role of Tong Bo in "Shuiyue Cave Heaven" released in 2004. The cute people who watch this magical action romance drama are nothing more than those children in their teens and twenties. These half-aged children are the source of their popularity, and their age groups are concentrated between 15 and 30 years old.
But Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua, who have many popular works, debuted earlier and became famous for a long time. From 99-year-olds to elementary school children, they can call out their names but dare not speak, but people in this age group have more or less heard of the names of their two people, which is the so-called nationality.
In his opinion, the popularity of the national population is just a very high popularity that transcends the age group.
Thinking of the voting event "2007 Ten Asian Coaches" created by a domestic website a week ago, he surpassed Huang Xiaoming from the mainland, Leehom Wang from Taipei, Leehom from South Korea, and Lee Seung-ki from South Korea, and won the runner-up with a vote slightly inferior to Takeshi Kaneshiro. He couldn't help but sigh that his popularity was not as invincible as he thought.
"But it's not going to drag the box office of "The Legend of the Confession"!" He secretly glanced at Chen Kexing, who was sitting next to the host, with a calm face, but in fact, he had been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan these days.
"The Vote" has been released for ten days. Compared with the 30 million on the first day of the previous release, 25.5 million on the next day, 20 million on the third day, and 20 million on the fifth day, the cumulative box office revenue exceeded 100 million on the fifth day. The current box office increase is very similar to the speed of a snail.
The filming funds of "The Voting" plus promotional funds, copying fees and other expenses have accumulated to 300 million yuan. Among these 300 million yuan, there are a few corners from Chen Kexing's entire net worth. Chen Kexing should be anxious. If a movie invested by 300 million yuan, it will cost at least 600 million yuan to recover. If you lose one cent, Chen Kexing's net worth is shrinking.
As one of the stars of "The Vote", Gan Tao is also anxious. This is his first real-life commercial film after his debut. If the box office of the film is still in a slump until the end, his No. 3 starring actor will be more or less condemned.
The silent Chen Kexing was anxious, and what he was anxious was that the investment that he could not recover and the hard-working works he had worked hard to get recognized; Li Lianjie, who was talking freely, was anxious, after all, he won a full 100 million box office, and Liu Dehua was anxious. All the actors in the front and behind the scenes of this film were anxious, but they could not do anything about it.
Ya's "Assembly" is so cruel. Feng Xiaogang is now a magical director in mainland China. A war movie that no one has ever watched in China has attracted countless viewers to voluntarily run into the theater.
After thinking about it for a while, he was woken up by the host and he said in a daze: "Ah, what's the matter?"
"That female classmate asks you what you think about choosing a spouse!" The host pointed to a thin and short female classmate in the audience and reminded him.
After he said "oh", he picked up the microphone and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired recently and I was dazed just now." After apologizing, he smiled at the girl who asked the question in the audience and said: "There is no special standard, I look so good, just the Gu family!"
"After Teacher Gan's words, it's unlikely that it will be difficult for us to leave our Beijing Film School today!"
"Why?" he asked the host curiously.
"Does there any poor-looking girls in our Beijing Film Academy?"
He smiled and complimented, "Yes, yes, Jingying is full of beauties!" Then he naturally turned the microphone to Xu Jinglei, who was sitting in the lower head, and was messing around with the view of choosing a partner. He was afraid that Chen Kexing would learn from Feng Xiaogang and lead people to leave the scene.
The 40-minute promotional time ended quickly with the director and the saliva of several starring actors. The effect on the scene looks good. No one can explain whether it can improve the box office and produce a substantial effect.
"Gan Tao, sign a name!"
He took out his left foot that had already stepped onto the car, turned around and glanced at the thin girl who came out from behind, and let out a "hiss".
He is not old and his status in the circle is not very high. The girl behind him is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but the call of "Gan Tao" is straightforward. I don't know if the girl is really a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, or if her emotional intelligence is really low, you must know that the children who can be admitted to the Beijing Film and Television Academy will most likely be doing work closely related to the film and television industry in the future.
Gan Tao was unhappy for the first time because others called him by his name, but he was patient and took the notebook handed over by the girl and said, "What's your name?"
"Zheng Qing."
"What?"
"Zheng Qing!"
He unconsciously looked at the pretty and thin girl with a smacked her lips and wrote on the cover of the notebook: It is more convenient and natural to treat others wisely than to treat yourself wisely - Gan Tao left his pen!
What he left was La Rochefuko's famous quote, but deep down he wanted to remind girls that after becoming famous, don't just fight against the sky, earth, and air without any trouble, let your temperament do whatever you want. It is not easy for a female star to have a group of fans who truly love, support, and think about it!
"I didn't understand!"
"I will understand it naturally when the time comes!" He acted like a charlatan.
"You are quite liked by these kids!" Xu Jinglei, who even had to hold the book on the business car assigned to them by the publisher, teased him.
"Oh, children have to coax them. It's not like the more than 1 million literary and artistic young people who like you on the blog. They are all precocious people, and they do not care about killing or burying them, and they don't have to worry about anything!"
Xu Jinglei spitted on him and replied angrily: "Can you chat?"
"Don't chat anymore, find a place to eat, I didn't eat much at noon!" He asked Chen Kexing, who was sitting with Li Lianjie in the front row.
Chen Kexing pushed his glasses, turned around and nodded, "Okay, let's have a meal, we have done everything we should do, let it go now!"
"Will the literary young woman go?"
"Please?"
"This is not a big deal."
"I finally saw the ugly face of the capitalist!" Xu Jinglei said with a smile, covering the book on her legs, "I will eat you poorly tonight!"
Before he could reply to Xu Jinglei's harsh words, Chen Kexing turned around and asked, "Taozai, can't Tongxin Cinema really be slow?"
"The director is not that he is united and does not help, but that he has really reached his limit. Who would have thought that "Assembly" would come so fiercely!"
Even if he is a major shareholder of Tongxin Film, he cannot just block the sky and prevent its theater chain from raising the schedule of "Assembly" from raising the screening of "Assembly". Wouldn't he be a fool if he has money but doesn't make money?
Chen Kexing nodded, stretched his right hand over the back of the chair and apologized: "I'm worried. Taozai, if you have the chance, we will cooperate!"
He hurriedly stretched out his right hand and smiled: "No matter how big or small the character is, as long as it is Director Chen's play, I will be there anytime I call!"
He still attaches great importance to Chen Kexing, who came to the mainland to work hard early, can be both literary and martial, and has a reputation.
The most important thing is that he is too unique. The Beijing circle led by Huayi does not like him, and there are many male and female actors under it.
Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke, the literary directors in the Northwest Circle, have their own familiar actors, so they can't find him at all.
There are very few directors in the ocean circle, and there are very few famous directors, so he can only interfere in the past two years. It would be great if he could really get along with Chen Kexing's Xiangjiang Circle.
Under his guidance, the driver stopped at a hot pot restaurant in Xicheng. Everyone took off their thick coats and it was just seven o'clock.
It was this 30-minute news that completely dispelled Chen Kexing's intention to struggle for two more days.
Whether it is director Chen Kexing, or Gan Tao, Xu Jinglei couldn't believe that a movie actually appeared on the 30-point column of National News, and the well-reviewed broadcast made people shocked for a whole minute and a half!
While pouring wine for Chen Kexing, Gan Tao smiled and said, "Director, don't look down on domestic main theme war movies in the future!"
"No, no!" Chen Kexing waved his hands repeatedly.
"After the media press release tomorrow, the "Person of Representatives" will be further compressed and scheduled, and in the end, the box office of 300 million is a bad one!"
Thinking that his first commercial movie was about to fail, Gan Tao said with emotion.
Chapter completed!
