349: Too Much Tricks
[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you can share it on Facebook for me]
"What is going on here? I don't understand. Is there any expert who can analyze it?"
"It seems that Mei Manlu sang a song that she shouldn't have sung. Didn't Jiang Ge say that it was a song that would be released on March 1st?"
"Then this is a big deal. She sang three sections, which means that at least half of the lyrics and melody were leaked."
"Why do I feel like she was acting?"
"No way, Jiang Ge's eyes were full of fire just now, and it didn't look like she was pretending at all."
"The easiest way to verify is to see if this song is in "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" that will be released tonight. If it is, it is a trick on us. If it is not, it is a live broadcast accident."
...
For a while, various bullet comments were rolling in the live broadcast room of NetEase Cloud Music.
In the picture at this moment, Jiang Ge had a cold face, frowned, and sometimes gritted his teeth.
The audience read his expressions as - I am very angry, and the consequences are serious.
However, Zhou Lingwei, who was outside the camera, covered her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other, and was laughing so hard that tears came out. Jiang Ge acted too realistically. If she hadn't known in advance that this was a designed routine, even she would have been fooled.
However, the play cannot be overacted, as too much is as bad as too little.
At this time, the screen cut again and gave it to Mo Lan.
"There was a little problem with the live broadcast just now. I hope it won't affect everyone's mood." Mo Lan said, while trying to suppress her smile, "Next, let me tell you about our Huafeng's film and TV series shooting plan for the whole year."
Hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were drawn back to the news of the new film, which was more attractive than the live broadcast accident just now.
"First of all, the movie, there is "Detective Chinatown 2", the director is..."
"Then there is the TV series, there is "Serious Case Six", the director is..."
When the project plans for movies and TV series were announced one after another, including the investment amount, shooting team, cast, etc., the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded directly.
"It's quite impressive, all the members are on the scene, eight movies a year!"
"I haven't even watched 'Invincible East' yet, and here comes 'Sunflower Manual'..."
"Finally, Qin Ming 2 is here, looking forward to it!"
"Young man + Bao Zheng, is there anything going on?"
"White Night Universe adds two new members, 'Serious Case 6' and 'Corpse Talk'!"
"Is 'A Chinese Ghost Story' a sequel to 'Painted Skin'? Is this going to start a 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio' or a 'Horror Universe'?"
...
Other entertainment companies or film and television production companies usually produce one movie and one TV series a year, or two each if they have more.
What about them?
Four movies and four TV series a year.
Such efficiency can no longer be described as "high" or "fast", but "terrifying", "outrageous" and "unbelievable".
The key is that the scripts are all written by Django, and the investment in each movie is more than 200 million, and the highest one is 700 million, and the director and actors are all luxurious.
Among these eight movies and TV series, the ones that have received more attention are the sequels of Detective Chinatown, Fast and Furious and Laughing Proudly.
When a film achieves a sensational box office success, it will naturally continue to shoot sequels in the hope of getting a more lucrative market return, but these "rich second generation" films born with a silver spoon in their mouths often fail to achieve their goals.
Shooting a successful sequel is not an easy task. Except for the situation where several series of films are planned to be shot from the beginning, generally speaking, when shooting the first film, the script is complete and the degree of completion is relatively high. Then, when shooting the second film, the script becomes the biggest problem.
How to continue a story that has been told? Driven by capital, screenwriters will change the settings and add roles in various ways, and they have to arrange new actors that capital wants to support. As a result, the relationship between the characters becomes more and more chaotic, and the pits are dug more and more and deeper.
Faced with the success of the first film, the audience has higher expectations for the second film, so how can a film shot with such a rushed script continue to be successful?
With the dual blessing of the time traveler and the system, Jiang Ge has an understanding of the quality of the sequel of each film, and can improve it and solve all the problems that have occurred one by one.
At this point, the live broadcast of Huafeng Media's fan-giving concert ended.
Was it perfect?
For Jiang Ge and the audience, it was perfect.
At this point, the "Huafeng Media Fan-giving Concert Live Broadcast Accident" had already spread on the Internet, attracting reports from the entertainment sections of major news platforms.
Soon it became known to everyone, and the hot question on major online platforms was "Please send Mei Manlu's new song video"!
Because someone recorded the screen, this part of the video was edited and uploaded to the Internet, and quickly spread on Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo.
As time went by, more and more netizens heard Mei Manlu singing "The Road Follows People in the Vast", and related discussions became more and more popular.
And in these discussions, almost all of them mentioned the movie "Swordsman: Invincible in the East", which made it reach a new high in popularity.
"I have listened to it five times in a row, it is really good, and the movie must be seen for this song!"
"The song is poisonous, it would be better if I didn't listen to it. After listening to it, I was not interested in the movie at first, but I bought the ticket."
“+1, I originally planned to watch the family movie “Back to 1997 as a Singer”, but now I’m going to refund the tickets and watch “Swordsman: Invincible in the East”.”
“This idiot Jiang Ge is really good at marketing, I can’t help but admit it, I’ve been fooled!”
“Same, knowing that it’s 100% a routine, but still willingly drilling into it.”
“No matter if it’s a routine or not, if the song is not good and the movie is not good, I will scold him to death!”
…
Now the discussion is not only among fans and passers-by, but has spread to the entire entertainment industry.
For this matter, colleagues have different opinions.
"It's obvious that this is a trick designed by Jiang Ge. Otherwise, how could Mei Manlu make such a low-level mistake? Can she afford the penalty for missing a song?"
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
"This is marketing done to perfection. Have you forgotten the fake car accident that happened when you video chatted with the host at the Golden Eagle Awards?"
"In just one hour, the pre-sale box office of the movie "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" increased by 50 million. I have to admit defeat!"
"Isn't this better than the effect of the premiere?"
"MD, I admit, I'm jealous!"
...
Industry insiders unanimously believe that this is a marketing strategy designed by Jiang Ge, the purpose of which is to create momentum for the upcoming movie "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" and increase its popularity and attention.
Because it looks fake no matter how you look at it, otherwise there is no reason for such a low-level live broadcast accident to occur.
Jiang Ge: I guessed it right, but there is no reward.
He has been watching it all the time. When he saw the reactions of all parties on the Internet, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. The effect of this trick is very significant, exceeding expectations.
Then, he looked at the time and it was getting late, so he walked into the kitchen in a good mood.
