Jinling City.


    The site of the publicity and promotion meeting of crazy stone.


    Under the arrangement of the Distribution Department of the Sea Union, Xiao Xing and some of the main creators of crazy stone met with the local media and some audiences. Promote films and answer questions from reporters and audience.


    Director Kui Xiaoxing, photographer Zhang Xiaoquan, starring Guo Tao, Gou Yunhao, Wang Xun, Luo Xue, Lian Jin and others, there are no big names.


    Guo Tao, the biggest actor, is famous not for his many film and television plays, but for the drama rhinoceros in love, which is quite famous in the drama industry.


    But the crew is not short of topics.


    The combination of "a Zheng + little fish", the guest role of Liu Dehua, the theme song "tired fighting tired", the reuse of new people in film and television, the way out of domestic low-cost films, interesting stories during shooting, etc. can arouse the interest of reporters and viewers.


    Different from the previous publicity in other first tier cities, some reporters threw out new and sharp topics at today''s promotion meeting.


    "Director, many well-known film critics have pointed out in the media in the past two days that the production cost of crazy stone is only 3 million, while the publicity cost is as high as 5 million. Is it true?"


    More than 20 well-known film critics spoke one after another, and a large number of sailors forwarded them everywhere. The cute people kept silent, resulting in the melon eating people not knowing the truth, causing heated discussion and abuse on the Internet.


    According to the current momentum, I''m afraid it won''t take long to form a one-sided accusation.


    Kui Xiaoxing looked dignified and nodded: "the initial investment budget of the film was really 3 million, all of which was used for film shooting and production. The investment in the later stage of publicity and distribution was not considered at that time."


    His answer was tantamount to admitting the online statement, and there was an uproar at the scene.


    The media reporters present were in great spirits.


    Hot topics on the Internet often have high news value. The reply of Xiao Xing represents the first positive answer of Mengren film and television, which can''t be missed!


    "I want to ask, is the cost of the publicity and distribution stage five million yuan as rumored on the Internet?"


    "It''s five million. We made it public when we publicized in the mountain city."


    "So the investment of crazy stone is not only 3 million, but 8 million, as you advertised?"


    Xiao Xing''s face was ugly. He hesitated for a long time before he replied, "it can be understood so."


    The reporter who asked the question was excited and his words were more sharp: "can I understand that your company nominally invested $8 million to make a film, but in fact, only $3 million, less than half, was really used for film production?"


    It''s going to be!


    Guo Tao is an old driver. He has long heard that the reporter''s way of asking questions is wrong, while Xiao Xing obviously lacks experience. He is introduced into the set step by step according to the other party''s questions.


    The last topic is to kill the heart. If Xiao Xing''s answer is a little careless, it will not only destroy all the publicity work of the crew some time ago, but also make the film fall into great passivity!


    Aware of the seriousness of the situation, the person in charge of the Distribution Department of the Sea Union called his staff and asked in a low voice at a very fast speed, "go and find out which media he belongs to. Have we invited him?"


    Both of them want to stop Xiaoxing from answering. However, Xiaoxing acts like a fledgling child and opens his mouth imperceptibly.


    "You''re right."


    There was even more uproar at the scene.


    Guo Tao on the stage almost couldn''t resist the impulse to hide his face. The head of the Sea Union Distribution Department was off the stage. He didn''t have so many scruples and patted his forehead directly: it''s over.


    More reporters wanted to ask questions. At this time, Xiao Xing broke out.


    He took the microphone to the front of the stage and said angrily, "do you think we are willing to spend $5 million on publicity and distribution? This money is enough for us to make another film, but can we do without this money?"


    "I believe" is the first film made by our company. The production cost is 2 million. Do you know how much the publicity cost is? 1 million! Last time I was lucky and got the support of many stars, I only got 40 million box office. This time? "


    "How much is the publicity cost of Star Wars 2? How much is the publicity cost of spider man? And those blockbusters with tens of millions of investment. Which publicity cost is less than tens of millions? We don''t strengthen the publicity. How many viewers will know crazy stone in the future!"


    The journalist remained unmoved and continued to ask, "you can invest five million in publicity and distribution. Why are you stingy with the investment in film production? Can''t you invest millions more?"


    "No, because the production cost of 3 million yuan is enough to ensure the quality of our film and can afford the ticket price paid by the audience after it is released in the future!"


    Seeing Xiao Xing''s gaffe, the reporter added fuel to the fire: "the quality of 3 million? I can''t imagine. According to you, those films with an investment of 10 million are not all high-quality works, but why are some films with poor box office reputation and dissatisfied with the audience?"


    The Distribution Department of the Sea Union is as big as a fight.


    The origin of this person has been found out.


    Well known freelance writer, pseudonym Leng Feng, entertainment news direction, and has friends with the editors in chief of many large media and entertainment sectors in China. His reports are often adopted by major media and entertainment pages.


    He was not invited to the Jinling publicity and promotion conference of crazy stone. I don''t know how to sneak in.


    The purpose of Leng Feng is also obvious.


    Or take people''s money and deliberately target the stone; Or I want to take advantage of the hot topic on the Internet recently and step on the stone to make fame and profits for myself.


    "Do you want to arrange security to drive him out?" the staff of the issuance department of the Sea Union whispered to the leader.


    "Don''t you think it''s messy enough?" the leader glared at him. "Get ready. Today''s promotion meeting ends ahead of schedule."


    This man clearly came to smash the scene!


    So what?


    For the media reporters present, the more fierce the noise, the more material, and the higher the news value.


    If you drive Leng Feng out now... Ha ha!


    What should I do?


    Report up first.


    The person in charge of the Distribution Department of Hailian is going to contact the company to find a way to solve the matter, and Xiaoxing is angry.


    "Son of a bitch, do you understand movies?"


    His scolding immediately made the situation irreconcilable.


    Leng Feng was secretly proud of his arms, and the micro recorder in his hand was always on.


    "The quality of the crew of crazy stone is low, and the director burst out to reporters at the promotion meeting."


    "The quality of employees in the domestic film industry is worrying. After the money trap was exposed, they made vicious remarks."


    Which of these two headings is better?


    Other media reporters are not as insidious as him, but they are also excited about the upcoming tear.


    In the entertainment industry, tear force is always one of the best hype topics, and it is also one of the topics that can attract the attention of readers!


    He Xiaoxing didn''t disappoint them. He roared again: "son of a bitch, do you understand movies?"
