Chapter 406 Supermarket Winner
"How about giving up Berlin and going to Cannes?" Fu Qi suggested.
"Let me think about it..."
Chen Qi walked around the room a little upset.
Each of the three major exhibitions in Europe has its own preferences. Berlin likes political elements, Venice focuses on the discussion of human nature, and Cannes focuses on innovation and realism, so you have the best chance of going to Berlin.
“I met Chairman Harder last time I went to Berlin!”
Chen Qi suddenly spoke and thought: "Let''s make a version first and send it to Berlin to see if we can be more liberal and have more time."
"Will this work?"
"Try it! Berlin is in great need of Chinese-language films right now, and "Life Is Beautiful" should be to their liking."
Historically, "Red Sorghum" missed the registration time and was delivered very late.
Chen Qi could only give it a try, otherwise he would have to go to Cannes, but it was not very reliable. He could send Lily''s Love, the film he envisioned to be shot by Li Hanxiang, to Cannes, but he did not want to send "Life is Beautiful" to Cannes.
The matter was agreed upon.
Chen Qi adjusted his mood in time and became relaxed and natural again. That’s what it’s like to be a boss. The boss suffers a lot every day, as if the company is about to close down at any time, and the employees will run away every minute.
He came to the recording studio.
Li Lingyu was singing inside. He picked up his headphones and listened to it. It was a Taiwanese folk song "Walking Barefoot on the Field Ridge": "On the country road at dusk, the setting sun is scattered all over the ground..."
The voice is sweet and moving, and the lyrics describe rural scenery without any romance.
Li Lingyu just came to Hong Kong, and her task was to record songs.
Chen Qi arranged three songs for her, "Walking Barefoot on the Field Ridge", "Snail and Oriole", and "Beauty''s Song". The first two are Taiwanese folk songs. "Beauty''s Song" is not available first, so she will wait for the audience to request it, because the audience If you click on it, you will be famous for your talents.
I originally wanted her to sing "Orchid Grass", but when I saw that the lyrics were written by Hu Shi.
Hu Shi was a traitor certified by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. This is not the Internet age of later generations. If he can be praised as a saint, Chen Qi is still safe.
There is also Zhang Mingmin. Although "My Chinese Heart" became a duet with Andy Lau, Chen Qi also asked him to sing two more songs "Country Road" and "Grandma''s Penghu Bay".
…
He walked around, got out and got into the car, and told Xiao Mo to go to ATV.
Hong Kong is getting cooler in November. Coming out of the relatively remote Clear Water Bay and entering the city, there is still a lot of traffic.
Until the end of the year, Chen Qi''s only work on his hands is "The Love of Humans and Ghosts", and he has to consider how to promote it.
In the impression of the younger generation, with the decline of Hong Kong entertainment, the rise of domestic entertainment and the notoriety of the fandom, they seem to feel that Hong Kong lacks fan culture. In fact, this is not the case. Most of the things we play in domestic entertainment nowadays are leftovers from others.
It''s just that it''s been too long, and some things have been gradually forgotten.
For example, in the 1980s, the famous Tan Zhang Zhengbao refers to Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung. Fans of the two groups often had wars of words, quarreling, cursing, and even physical conflicts... This is the most typical fan circle.
But not everyone can be an idol.
There are not many people on the left, and there are only two qualified people, Liu Dehua and Zhong Chuhong.
Many people like Liang Jiahui, but few people regard him as an idol and worship him crazily. The same goes for Qiu Shuzhen. She is too sexy. In reality, the movies she shoots are generally not high-quality and it is difficult to establish an idol foundation. But now she has filmed "Happy Ghost" 》You can try it.
Chen Qi wants to use "The Love of Ghosts" to establish a fan club for the leftists, and organize regular activities, such as meeting and shaking hands, signing autographs, sending photos, organizing bookings, etc.
Once we have a mass base, we can start making video tapes.
Of course, the premise of this is that "The Love of Ghosts" is a box office hit!
"Didi!" Gundam parked in the ATV parking lot. Chen Qi got off and went upstairs to Li Zhuanglie''s office.
He is like a third-rate lobbyist in ancient times. He speaks nonsense when he enters the door: "Director Li, I''m here to give you a fortune!"
"Mr. Chen, I''m pretty familiar with you. I know a little bit about your style. What do you want to do for free this time?"
"Whenever I''ve had **** for nothing, I''ve always paid a premium for it!"
Chen Qi sat on the sofa unceremoniously and said, "I have a movie to be released on Christmas, and I want to use your platform to promote it."
"Are you still looking for foreigners to create fake news?" Li Zhuanglie frowned.
"Not fake news!"
"How about going to "Water Dash"? Hey, I was just going to tell you that the weather is cold and the water is cold. Some players have complained recently."
"So I came just in time. You remember I reminded you before that "Water Dash" is seasonal and you can change it indoors in winter. I am here this time to perfect this idea."
Chen Qi laid out everything in an orderly manner: "First of all, the name needs to be changed. It can be called "Christmas Special Edition Supermarket Winner"!"
"There are three groups of contestants, one team of two. We have Liu Dehua, Zhong Chuhong, Liang Jiahui, Qiu Shuzhen, Liu Xuehua and Li Saifeng."
"There are four levels in total, and the accumulated time for each level is accumulated. Finally, the accumulated time is used to go to the supermarket to buy goods..."
What he said was rather abstract, but Li Zhuanglie seemed to understand.
Chen Qi simply pointed to a TV in the office and asked, "How much is this worth?"
"How do I know?"
"Take a guess!"
"2,500 Hong Kong dollars?"
"Okay, let''s take it as 2,500 yuan. Then the first level is that within a limited time, three groups of contestants go to the supermarket to buy things. Whoever''s total price is closest to 2,500 yuan will win 20 seconds, and those who rush to buy The stuff belongs to them!”
"Got it!"
Li Zhuanglie clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Set the levels like this, win time, and finally have a big supermarket sale!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he kept saying: "Mr. Chen, I admire your brain so much, those nurses will go crazy! You don''t know how strong the fighting skills of the nurses in Hong Kong are!"
I know, I know, I’ve seen too many old men and women snatching eggs...
Chen Qi nodded.
"And this form of advertising is so strong. Supermarket venues can be sponsored, products can be sponsored, and we basically don''t have to spend anything... Hey, but how do you promote your movie?"
"I made some promotional materials for "The Love of Ghosts" and put them in supermarkets. I doubled the price if I grabbed this one.
You can also set up a Q&A session to ask about some movie information.
The show is not just for one episode. It has to release one episode in early December and wait for the audience to sign up. Then it will make a few more episodes. It needs to be popular before it is released. On Christmas Eve, I want the whole Hong Kong to know that there is "Man and Ghost" The movie "The End of Love"! "
Chen Qi spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, I''m not prostituted for nothing, are you?"
This program originated from CCTV''s "Supermarket Winner" and was later renamed "Happy Housewives".
The highlight is that within a limited time, you can go into the supermarket and pick up whatever you want.
What Li Zhuanglie said is still one-sided. The audience is not only the masters, but also men, women, old and young. It involves people''s instinctive pleasure: free prostitution!
