Chapter 66 Propaganda 2
She almost died laughing when she heard that Huang Min almost beat up the head of distribution at Huatian Entertainment and was even blacklisted by Zhang Jianhua for the second time.
As she expected.
I was afraid that Huang Min's film wouldn't even be able to find a distribution agency, but the reversal came so quickly... mainly because Zhang Jianhua is a good-for-nothing.
As one of the senior executives of an entertainment company, he not only failed to control Huang Min, who had just transitioned into a director, but was also outmaneuvered by him.
"say"
The living room was silent for almost a minute before Lin Wan's emotionless voice rang out.
"I……"
Zhang Xiaohua reached up and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Other agents in the entertainment industry wouldn't need to be subservient to their artists, but she's different. She wasn't originally an agent; Huang Min entrusted her with his work as an agent, and later the couple opened a studio, where she managed all their work.
simply put.
She is indeed a manager.
However, she is not an agent of a large company, but an agent of a studio. Lin Wan is now the boss of a studio called "Sunny Day", which is her boss.
"Sister Zhang, I'm very disappointed in you."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was speechless for a long time, Lin Wan said in an icy tone.
"Don't be angry, it's just a matter of being released in theaters."
Zhang Xiaohua quickly explained, "Eleven movies were released in July, and you saw the results. Director Zhang's big-budget film flopped, and Director Wu's 'Catching the Wind,' which cost 300 million and 180 million in promotion alone, also lost money. The other two directors only made a small profit. Live-action films don't even make as much money as animated films these days, so you don't need to worry. It's unreasonable for several top directors to spend huge sums on films that flop while Huang Min can succeed. Don't worry, it's okay."
"I need you to come up with a solution."
Lin Wan, dressed in a white dress, spoke.
"it is good"
Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to nod, even though she was reluctant.
What can she possibly come up with now...? Changkong Media has already started promoting the movie "The Terror Live," which means that Huang Min has already signed an agreement with the company.
Let alone her being just a small-time agent, even other entertainment company bosses wouldn't call at this time to say that someone's movie can't be released.
Normally, people would give you face, but who would do that now?
They've already poured money into advertising, how could they just cancel the release like that? This is really weird.
Huang Min clearly lacked connections and capital, and it's unclear how he got involved with Changkong Media. It's said that more than one company invited Huang Min to their offices for internal screenings, but Huang Min refused them all because he had reached an agreement with Changkong Media. Noticing that Lin Wan was still looking at her, Zhang Xiaohua said, "I'm going back now," and turned to leave.
Now she can only silently pray that Huang Min's drama flops.
If it really happened... Zhang Xiaohua really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Just as she reached the top of the stairs, Lin Wan's voice came from behind her: "Have the studio's publicity department completely announce that he is directing 'The Terror Live'."
Zhang Xiaohua stopped in her tracks. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out. Clearly, she didn't think highly of Lin Wan's method.
It had been announced once before and it had an effect. After all, Huang Min had no power to resist at that time and could only let the news spread. Now it's different. They have connected with Changkong Media, which means that there is a bond of interest between the two. If they do this now, Changkong Media will definitely react.
Over the next two days, the "Sunny Day" studio began to exert its efforts, using short videos and social media to make more people aware that Huang Min was the director of the movie "The Terror Live".
"Was 'The Terror Live' directed by Huang Min?! I absolutely refuse to watch it."
"Never heard of it!"
"I never wanted to, and I'm even less likely to look now."
"Huang Min's appearance isn't very good, but I don't know why people always say he has a good personality."
In addition, many bloggers personally joined in, calling for a "resolute boycott of the movie 'The Terror Live'".
......
The publicity effect was quite obvious, and more and more people became aware of it, far exceeding the initial disclosure to reporters who then broke the news.
In the living room.
Listening to Su Qing's story, Huang Min couldn't help but exclaim, "This scale of publicity must have cost at least five million. My ex-wife's love for me is undeniable."
"What do we do now?!"
Even Su Qing never expected that her boss's ex-wife would do something that would harm both herself and others.
She was caught off guard for a moment.
No action is needed.
Huang Min shook his head and said, "Changkong Media's publicity efforts were already a bit weak, and with the movie 'The Terror Live,' there's not much of a breakthrough in publicity. Since my ex-wife is helping out of her own initiative, then let her help."
"In that case..."
Su Qing didn't say what she was going to say directly, but her meaning was obvious.
The more people know about it, the greater the resistance will be.
"It's fine"
Huang Min knew exactly what Su Qing was most worried about. He smiled and said, "Now it's up to Changkong Media to decide what to do. Lin Wan said I was the director of 'The Terror Live,' but Changkong Media can say it wasn't me. They can't find a good angle for publicity, right? This is a perfect angle. The truth and the falsehood are intertwined, which can attract the audience's attention. This is much better than us having to find our own publicity gimmicks."
Su Qing's eyes lit up.
She almost forgot... as long as Huang Min himself doesn't come forward to admit it, the more money Lin Wan throws in and the bigger the hype she creates, the more attention the movie "The Terror Live" will receive.
Even if only one out of a hundred people who know about it goes to see "The Terror Live" in theaters, it's still more effective than Changkong Media's promotion only reaching seven or eight people.
Realizing this, Su Qing immediately took out her phone and contacted the publicity director of Changkong Media, asking him to change the publicity strategy and focus on "who exactly is the director of the play 'The Terror Live'?"
To achieve a better effect, Su Qing specifically suggested, "We can add the names of directors who haven't made movies in many years and let the audience guess, implying that their previous movies weren't good and they've changed their names this time."
"..."
Huang Min was taken aback.
He gave Su Qing, who was sitting on his sofa, a thumbs up.
That's a good idea. Since it's a mixed bag of entertainment, it's naturally more interesting to guess if there are more people involved. And indeed, there are many directors in the entertainment industry who basically stop making films after a film they directed fails.
Consider this my contribution to "The Terror Live".
