Chapter 469 Stage(1/2)
Author: I am red
Xu Rong looked at the more than 50 colleagues around him, as well as classmates Xiao Zhang and Song Yi who were packing their things and preparing to retreat: "Do you have any suggestions or opinions?"
After waiting for a few seconds, no one spoke. Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No."
"Xu Yuan." A voice that didn't seem confident sounded from behind the crowd. But in the second half, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke much more eloquently, "There is something I don't quite understand."
When Xu Rong heard the other party calling him, he expected that this was a scoring question. When he found the source of the sound in the corner and recognized the speaker, he became more confident.
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a long face, curly hair, and a beard on his chin.
Zhao Lixin looked at Xu Rong from a distance and said seriously: "Teacher Xu, I remember before this report meeting, you said that you were giving this report to promote "Drug War", which was released on June 15, but even though "Drug War" was released on June 15th,
The box office of "War on Drugs" has reached 1 billion, and the value of this seminar will be a thousand or ten thousand times that of "War on Drugs". As a contemporary drama master, don't you think your statement is putting the cart before the horse? Don't blame your own behavior
Are you ashamed?"
Xu Rong was more or less surprised when he heard Zhao Lixin's seemingly sharp question.
Zhao Lixin has always been unique among the teachers at China National Opera. He neither pays too much attention to such subordinates nor is too indifferent to them. For those who are engaged in art, everyone thinks that they are special and have a little personality. It is normal.
However, Zhao Lixin's flattery was very smooth today. Firstly, he highly praised his academic achievements, and secondly, he gave him a chance to explain to the public.
And it’s still in a “critical” way.
After hearing this, many people couldn't help but look sideways and cast surprised glances at Zhao Lixin.
Flattering the leader in front of a national audience?
Xu Rong cast admiring glances at Zhao Lixin, not because of the other's flattery, but because he felt that he was similar to Gao Yunxiang and could play a special role in some special occasions.
In his opinion, Zhao Lixin's flattery is not natural enough or high-end enough, and there is still considerable room for improvement. If he were to change places, he would not only not let others smell the flattery, but he would also turn it around
Shot in the form of fireworks bombs and decorated with rainbow colors.
Faced with Zhao Lixin's criticism, Xu Rong smiled and said: "As for me, I am just an ordinary actor. I am proud of the works I have created, and I hope everyone can watch and like my works.
If I don’t recognize my own work, why should others recognize it?!”
When Zhao Lixin heard Xu Rong's answer, his expression suddenly turned red, and he said with shame: "I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Tomorrow, "Drug War" premieres, and I will definitely take my students to watch it.
study."
In the auditorium, led by Zhao Lixin, loud applause broke out in the auditorium.
"Whoa whoa whoa."
"Oh my god, Xu Rong is so handsome!"
"Yes, if you don't recognize your own work, why should others recognize it?"
"Wow, he's so handsome. Is this the charm of a master?!"
"No, this is the charm of the deputy director of the Chinese Drama Theater!"
"Damn it, screwed up, I have to write my thoughts again!!!"
"The one who wrote his experience couldn't be this flattering student, right?"
After the report meeting, Xiao Zhang drove the car, Song Yi sat in the passenger seat, and Xu Rong sat alone in the back seat.
"Xiao Zhang."
"I'm driving, don't talk to me!" Xiao Zhang bluntly blocked the second half of his words.
There was suddenly an inexplicable silence in the car.
Xu Rong took a sip of water, looked at Song Yi who was sitting upright in front of him, and said: "Xiao Song, the courtyard has received a lot of invitations to give lectures recently. I'm busy these days and can't spare the time. You can go for me later.
?”
In his sight, Song Yi's body seemed to freeze for a moment when he called "Xiao Song", and then he turned his head very slowly, widened his eyes, and looked at him in disbelief: "I'm going to give a lecture?"
"Yes, you have listened to me tell me so many times, and you are the first student I have taught. If there are invitations from domestic and foreign academies or schools in the future, you will be allowed to go." Xu Rong screwed the lid of the water cup on.
, "After dinner later, I have to go to Beijing to attend a program meeting, and I have to attend the premiere of "Drug War" in the evening. I am so busy every day, how can I have time to give lectures?!"
"I, I"
Xu Rong looked at Song Yi who was having trouble speaking, smiled and comforted him: "You have to be more confident in yourself. We are actors. How can we be afraid of meeting people and being on stage?"
Song Yi looked at Xu Rong who didn't look like he was joking. His little face was tense. He glanced at Sister Zhang quietly and found that she was driving the car carefully and conscientiously without saying a word.
It's not that she's afraid of meeting people, it's just that she really doesn't know how to do it.
Up to now, in her study of the performance system founded by Xu Rong, she is still stuck in the stage of learning the seemingly similar philosophical concepts of "Qi", "Jing", "Essence" and "Yin and Yang" and the interconnections between them.
Song Yi and Xu Rong looked at each other for five or six seconds and asked tentatively: "How about you expel me from the school now?"
Xu Rong laughed angrily at her: "Can you be more successful?"
"I, I have been studying very hard." Song Yi also realized Xu Rong's disappointment and did not dare to look at him again. "Then, if you insist on letting me go, it's not impossible. I will tell you what you said today.
They recite it again."
"Hahaha."
Classmate Xiao Zhang was the first to laugh uncontrollably and said, "He is joking with you. Look, you are scared."
"Oh, Teacher Xu, you are so annoying!"
Xu Rong also laughed, but he really wasn't joking with Song Yi.
He also knew that Song Yi tried her best, but her growth rate was too slow.
In other words, she had too much fun in the four years between the ages of 18 and 22. These four years should be the four years when learning is the strongest in a person's life. There are not so many trivial matters, energy, memory and other physical functions.
In a state of exuberance, she was desolate.
If Song Yi practiced hard for four years and consolidated various basic skills through practice, why would he still need to be a bit player for such a long time?
But it is wasted. Taking the irreversibility of human physiological functions as a reference, time is not equal. The four years between the ages of 18 and 22 are wasted. After the age of 22, it may take her ten years or even longer.
time to make up for it.
While Song Yi felt guilty for Xu Rong's disappointment, another group of people also fell into guilt.
"First of all, as the person in charge, I want to review that Teacher Xu helped us get through this difficulty, but if we need Teacher Xu's help every time to get through the difficulties, what value do we have?" Jin Fangfang glanced at the people in the conference room.
Everyone, seeing that no one was looking at them, stopped criticizing them just right, "I hope we can learn from this."
Compared to the general public who have always deliberately created a sense of distance and mystery with Xu Rong, they are more familiar with Xu Rong. In the eyes of the public, Xu Rong is an actor, a superstar and even an artist, but to them, he is just a person who seems to care about nothing.
, but in essence they are the bosses who pay them wages.
After a pause for a few seconds, Jin Fangfang's tone became much more relaxed and she said: "Everyone has seen the current popularity of public opinion on the Internet. Whether "Drug War" can be maintained in the future depends on our joint efforts."
"Let me lay out the work for the next stages. At tomorrow's premiere ceremony, Du Qi Summit announced that it will 'require the movie to be released for only 15 days.' What you have to do is to let the entire network discuss '15 days of release' from tomorrow.
A concept, why is it only required to be released for 15 days? Because "Drug War" is a domestic film, and it is also a niche domestic film. It is also a niche domestic film that pays tribute to the people's defenders and is not popular in the market. According to the market data of previous years
, Chinese people prefer to watch foreign blockbusters released in July."
Wang Yaqin looked at Jin Fangfang in confusion and asked, "Sister Fangfang, isn't this equivalent to surrendering?"
"Surrender?" Jin Fangfang shook her head gently, "Do you prefer to listen to popular saliva songs or niche folk songs?"
Zhang Lin also smiled and added: "Don't you want to watch a domestic movie that is only released for 15 days? Don't think that hunger marketing can only be used by mobile phone brands."
Jin Fangfang concluded: "Read more books when you have time. In communication science, this is called agenda setting, that is, we cannot influence the audience's thoughts, but we can control what the audience thinks. Part of this strategy is aimed at the public with rebellious thinking, and another purpose
It is the most conspicuous label on "Drug War", the 15-day label."
Jin Fangfang paused and continued: "The second phase, starting from June 18th, will gradually highlight the label of 'Drug War' as a 'niche movie, a masterpiece', and by June 22nd, it will gradually become a film that will sweep the world."
Internet word-of-mouth wave."
Wang Yaqin suddenly had a lot of doubts in her heart. She turned around and thought about her junior high school education. She was uneducated to begin with, so she was not afraid of others laughing at her for being uneducated, so she asked: "What is the internal logic of this?"
Zhang Lin saw Wang Yaqin's doubtful look and said: "There is a theory in communication science called the Spiral of Silence Theory. That is, when people express their thoughts and opinions, if they see that the opinions they agree with are widely welcomed, they will
will actively participate, such views will become more boldly expressed
Express and spread, and find that no one or few people pay attention to a certain point of view, even if they agree with it, they will remain silent. The silence of one party's opinion causes the other party's opinion to gain momentum. This cycle repeats, causing one party's voice to become more and more popular.
The stronger one becomes, the more silent the other side becomes in the spiral development process.”
"And 'niche' and 'master' are obviously opposite gimmicks."
Jin Fangfang waited for Zhang Lin to finish explaining to Wang Yaqin, and said: "In the third stage, that is, after European and American movies start to be released on July 1, our publicity strategy will immediately change to 'Drug War's thinking about human nature, good and evil"
, Inspire' label, while revealing the essence of European and American movies."
Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment, raised objections, and asked: "If we do this, will it arouse the dissatisfaction of comedy filmmakers, who are also practitioners of the nipple music theory."
Noticing the confused looks of Wang Yaqin, Li Gen, Zhang Yang and others, Zhang Lin explained: "Nipple music is a theory put forward by former US President's National Security Assistant Zbigniew Brzezinski, which refers to the continuous improvement of productivity accompanied by intensified competition.
, 80% of the world's population will be marginalized, they do not have to and cannot participate in the production and services of products, and 80% of the wealth
In the hands of the other 20% of people, in order to comfort the 'abandoned' people in society and avoid class conflicts, one way is to let companies mass-produce 'nipples' - making them addictive entertainment and full of sensory stimulation.
Products, such as the Internet, movies, games, etc., make them immersed in 'happiness' and unconsciously lose their ability to think about real problems."
Li Gen listened to Jin Fangfang's arrangements and felt that his past understanding of the art form of "movie" was too narrow. He didn't know how the project of "Drug War" was established, prepared, approved, and produced, but he only learned from what he knew.
