Chapter 254 It's All Rolled Up

“In fact, I have always been quite confident in Lin Xing’s ability to select films. You can take a look at Lin Xing’s works in the past year.

Whether it is Zhou Bo in “Sweeping Black Waves”, Guan Feng in “Picture Hunting for Murder”, or Li Dongsheng in “Bad Kids”, you can see that the scripts are all top-notch.

Let’s put it this way, the script of “Sweeping Black Waves” is a big deal, which is not Lin Xing’s active choice, but look at “Picture Hunting for Murder” and “Bad Kids”.

The two dramas that Lin Xing chose at the beginning were both web dramas, and almost no one was optimistic about them.

Even now, web dramas are not welcomed by some people, and some TV actors look down on web dramas.

What is the result? ?

The result is that the two dramas “Picture Hunting for Murder” and “Bad Kids” made Lin Xing completely transformed into a drama bone .

Even if you are prejudiced against popular actors, even if many people think that Lin Xing's acting skills are not good because of his handsomeness, I believe that everyone will not say much when they see the role of Li Dongsheng.

...

I have to say that Lao Zhong is the person who knows Lin Xing best in the past year.

Especially she has been supporting Lin Xing since Lin Xing participated in "Let's Farm".

In the past year, Lao Zhong has watched all three of Lin Xing's works.

And this time, Lao Zhong is similar to others, that is, she is also looking forward to the spy drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Because Lao Zhong believes in Lin Xing's ability to select films.

And today, after she watched the trailer of the drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Lao Zhong felt that the drama was stable.

In Lao Zhong's opinion, this trailer is similar to the previous spy dramas. It is totally different from war movies.

First of all, there is no filter, especially many actors are almost pure without makeup, even if they wear makeup, it is because of the characters.

This reminds Lao Zhong of the same drama "Sweeping Black Waves".

Secondly, as a spy war film, this trailer is a real group drama. Lao Zhong was worried that this drama would become a male-dominated drama, or a two-person drama.

Now it seems that she can rest assured.

In addition, in the past, we can see that many spy war dramas did not show the cruel side of Japan.

Just like the anti-Japanese drama, many people also asked why we fought for so many years when the little Japanese were so weak? ?

However, the current trailer shows the cruel side of the little Japanese.

They regard the Chinese as "road big", and this plot has not been shown in the anti-Japanese drama for many years. It even appeared in Japanese dramas and spy dramas.

Lao Zhong still remembers that she watched a documentary about Unit 731 when she was a child. It was almost her childhood nightmare, but she knew more about how many unscrupulous and even beastly things the Japanese did back then.

And ‘Maruta’ was an insulting name given by the Japanese Army Unit 731 to the victims who were forced to undergo human experiments.

This word comes from the Japanese word “maruta”, which means “round wood” and is extended to “experimental product” or “material”.

Behind this insulting word is the blood of thousands of compatriots.

Because of this, Lao Zhong thinks that the cruel side of the Japanese in the trailer of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” can also make more people remember history.

Because forgetting history means betrayal.

And Lao Zhong likes the last line of the trailer very much.

If you advance, you will die heroically, and if you retreat, you will live shamefully. The war of resistance will win.

In addition to Lao Zhong writing this Weibo post, more people think that the trailer of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” has raised the expectation.

At the same time, some people on Weibo introduced to everyone how many anti-human things Unit 731 did back then. (Note 1)

No one thought that the trailer of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" would have such an impact.

Not only that, because many people are familiar with the Japanese Army Unit 731, they gradually discovered the official V of the [Exhibition Hall of Evidence of Crimes of the Japanese Army Unit 731 in China].

At the same time, this official V is updated almost every day.

Because of the recent popularity of tourism in Northeast China, many people have lined up to watch the Exhibition Hall of Evidence of Crimes of the Japanese Army Unit 731 in China.

In addition, the [Exhibition Hall of Evidence of Crimes of the Japanese Army Unit 731 in China] also made an introduction. (Note 2)

Everyone also found that the official V of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" had forwarded the official V of the [Exhibition Hall of Evidence of Crimes of the Japanese Army Unit 731 in China] and said that history cannot be forgotten.

These are all quietly updated by the official V of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", because there was no publicity before, so not many people knew about it.

Now it has been linked all of a sudden.

What is a serious drama? ?

What is a meaningful drama? ? ?

This is it.

This "For Whom the Bell Tolls" actually didn't think that far.

This is not it.

The crew was having dinner together at the celebration banquet, and then Lao Zhao received a call from the Propaganda Department.

"What??"

Lao Zhao asked in surprise: "You said that our current data has soared 9 times?"

The monitoring department of the Propaganda Department said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, this is definitely not our publicity, because..."

After listening to the Propaganda Department, Lao Zhao suddenly realized.

Indeed.

Using historical pain for publicity, unless he wants to die, how can this be a suicide publicity? ? ?

"Okay, I understand. Let's not make any fuss about this matter. The people are angry about what the Japanese fascists did back then. After all, so far, the Japanese fascists have never apologized..."

Lao Zhao thought for a while and said, "We can just announce it as normal."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhao also explained the situation to Dong Deng, Xia Ying, Lin Xing, Liang Yi and others on the table.

Because everyone was chatting and eating, they didn't look at what was going on online.

"Currently, the views of our trailer have exceeded 10 million, and it is still soaring. Not only has the number of reposts exceeded 1 million on Weibo, but it has also been viewed on various platforms including Bilibili, WeChat, and Xiaodigua. The number of retweets and comments also exceeded one million..."

Lao Zhao said in a state of disbelief: "The most important thing is that we only spent less than one-third of the cost of publicity, but the effect has increased by more than 9 times."

"I think this is probably because of the benefits brought by the "Secret Lurker" game..."

Wei Fei thought for a moment and said, "Plus everyone's simple outlook on life."

"That's true. Next we just need to follow the normal promotion."

Lao Zhao smiled and said: "It's always a good thing, and this first trailer is a good start."

Yes.

Judging from the current popularity, discussion, and broadcast volume of the first trailer of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", who the hell dares to say that this drama is not qualified to be the new year's drama? ?

too strong.

"Then we wish the next promotion of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" smooth, and we'll see you when it starts airing."

Dong Deng raised a cup and said.

The celebration party didn't end until 10 o'clock.

Although Lin Xing drank a little too much, he was still relatively sober.

"Axing, can you still drink??"

Wei Fei said to Lin Xing: "I just have another show, let's go together??"

"I won't go. I promised Xin Hui that I will go find him when this is over."

Lin Xing said with some embarrassment: "I have been in the Imperial Capital for the past few days, and I am going to the Magic City in a few days. Let's meet up before I go."

"good."

Wei Fei nodded lightly.

On the other side, Wang Lu said to Lin Xing: "Axing, let's go together??"

"Not today, I have to go see Xin Hui."

Lin Xing shook his head and said.

"I'm going to join the crew for filming tomorrow, so I'll find time later."

Wang Lu said with some regret.

"good."

Lin Xing nodded slightly.

Then An Yifeng chatted with Lin Xing for a while, and she said that she would read the script completely.

"Well, we can talk after you finish reading the script."

Lin Xing said: "I have been in Shanghai for the past few days. I will meet with Wei Fei and Diane in a few days. You will come too then."

"Sister Fei??"

An Yifeng was a little confused: "Will Sister Fei also participate in this script??"

"That's not true."

Lin Xing laughed: "She will be the producer of this movie."

"I see."

An Yifeng suddenly realized that she was not surprised. After all, she knew that Wei Fei and Lin Xing had the best relationship.

"Brother Xing, goodbye."

"Brother Xing, goodbye."

…

Other actors also said goodbye to Lin Xing one after another.

"Brother Xing, are you okay?"

After they were all gone, Xiao Nan hurriedly came to Lin Xing and asked with concern, and at the same time handed over the thermos cup.

Lin Xing took a sip of hot water, then smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy..."

While talking, Lin Xing dialed Xin Hui's phone number.

As a result, no one answered.

Lin Xing called Huo Tingting again, but no one answered.

never mind.

"Xiaonan, let's go home."

Lin Xing smiled and said: "I guess Xin Hui and Huo Tingting were too happy to care about us."

"good."

Xiaonan said: "I'll ask the driver to come over."

On the way back, Lin Xing sobered up for a moment and took a look at the current situation on the Internet.

Obviously, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" still has a lot of hot searches.

Everyone's expectations for this drama are indeed soaring.

This seems pretty good.

Lin Xing feels that this first trailer is indeed what Lao Zhao said, and it is a good start.

“Then it’s time for other dramas to have a headache.”

Lin Xing thought in his mind.

that's the truth.

You must know that there are two spy dramas to start the new year this time, one is "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and the other is "The Darkness Before Dawn".

Before today, everyone was basically more optimistic about "Darkness Before Dawn".

The reason is very simple, because "Darkness Before Dawn" was broadcast on CCTV, and the main creative lineup is also very strong.

The result is good. Today's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is just a trailer that has raised everyone's expectations.

Then all night long everyone discussed "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

"There are still more than two months before the start of the new year. Hua Hai is crazy, promoting it so early??"

The next day, at 9 o'clock, Yuan Zhong said speechlessly in the general manager's office of Dongning Media Company.

The publicity director smiled bitterly and said: "Who says it's not the case? And this move is a big deal, lifting "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to a level that does not belong to him overnight."

"Tell Lao Han that we will also start promotion today, and the first trailer will be released directly today."

Yuan Zhong thought for a while and said, "We can't wait any longer. We are already a step too late. The trailer for "The Power of Man" has also been released, so we have to do it now."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Director Han right now, and also talk to the other actors to prepare for cooperation in publicity."

The publicity director nodded slightly.

"Go ahead."

Yuan Zhong waved his hand unhappily, and then he called Chairman Miao Ying: "As you can see, yes, it's impossible not to publicize at this time. Most of the time, the audience will only believe in their first words. Eye……"

"Well, yes, I have already ordered you to go down."

Yuan Zhong said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

This is forcing involution.

Many times TV series and movies are very similar. Everyone will compete for the first day, and movies will use tickets to supplement the ticket price, such as 9 yuan and 9 yuan, to compete for attendance.

TV series are more about promotion, using actors, trailers, content, and even marketing.

Of course, there are also movie watching sessions.

Because now not only movies have premieres, TV series also have premieres.

Wasn't "Sweeping the Crime" held before?

The more confident you are in your TV series, and the bigger the production, the more often you have to do this.

Originally, "Darkness Before Dawn" was planning to carry out extensive publicity at the end of next month.

As a result, I didn't expect that "The Power" would release a super long trailer so early. Forget it, the promotion of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" followed soon after made Dongning Media a little bit unable to sit still.

After all, "The Powerful Man" and "The Darkness Before Dawn" are not in the same genre, and this will not divert the audience.

But "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is different.

Many times it is important to make the first move, just like falling in love at first sight. After I like you at first sight, I will definitely try you first.

For this reason, Dongning Film and Television now has to be forced into involution.

Again.

Don't lose the initiative.

So "Darkness Before Dawn" released its first long trailer at 12 o'clock.

Then, it’s 20 extra minutes.

This makes many film and television bloggers a little confused.

"Holy crap, are you three really having a fight??"

"The final trailer for "The King of Power" is 5 minutes, the final trailer for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is 15 minutes, and now the final trailer for "Darkness Before Dawn" is 20 minutes."

"Good guy, it's the first time in so many years that I've seen the New Year's show start so early."

"I'm laughing so hard. Each of these three dramas is more yin and yang weird than the last."

…

"It seems that there is no fighting, but there is fighting everywhere. The director of "The Power of Man" said that he is a group drama, no better than others. As a result, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" released a group portrait trailer, and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" The director said that he was different from previous spy dramas and focused on reality. As a result, "Darkness Before Dawn" released a 'real spy drama trailer'..."

"I just watched the trailer of "Darkness Before Dawn". The 20-minute trailer is really good. It is indeed a CCTV New Year's drama."

"It really started to get into a fight."

…

Netizens have always watched the excitement without taking it too seriously.

Before, everyone thought that the New Year's drama would not be lively without drama.

Later, Dong Deng directly played Luo Jun in "The Power of Man" through the air. Now that it's better, "Darkness Before Dawn" has also started to be played through the air.

Lin Xing felt a little happy when he woke up and looked at the messages posted in the group.

"x-on:All members, I will post a set of finalized photos later. Each group of characters is displayed in a 9-square grid. Please remember to forward it."

The comment in this group turned out to be from Dong Deng.
