"Oh, where can I find an old sow for you?" Yu Feng exclaimed.
"If you don't have a sow, you can have a female goat. If you don't have a female goat, you can have a female dog. I've taken over all of them."
"Okay, okay. If I can no longer work as a director and go into animal husbandry, I will ask you to be my veterinary consultant."
"no problem."
…
Recently, Gu Yi has been busy auditioning and preparing for the orientation meeting, so much so that he forgot that the modern military-themed TV series he had filmed before was about to be released.
It was the director who called and told Gu Yi that he would attend a publicity ceremony the day after tomorrow, and then Gu Yi remembered it.
"'Knives Out' is finally going to be released."
"If the director hadn't called me, I would have forgotten about it."
Since he had a busy summer vacation and the crew didn't contact him during this period, Gu Yi didn't think about it.
"Don't worry, director, I will definitely be there when the time comes."
"Well, remember to come here early. I plan to promote you well then."
"no problem."
The orientation meeting is on Friday, and today is only Monday. It happens to be promotion on Wednesday, rehearsal on Thursday, and performance on Friday.
There is no conflict in time.
Gu Yi made preparations in the past few days, took out his suit from the cabinet, and sent it to the dry cleaners.
Gu Yi has three formal suits in total.
One set is for school, one set is for business performances, and one set is for press conferences.
Gu Yi took the suit back on Tuesday night, hung it properly in the cabinet, and wore it directly to the promotional meeting on the third day.
Gu Yi didn't take a taxi this time. After all, he now had an agent, and the agent was also in Yanjing, so Song Fuxing drove Gu Yi to the scene.
At the same time, Song Fuxing also went upstairs to get to know the others. After all, this was all about connections from now on.
If the other party has any resources that he can use, it would be too direct for Gu Yi to intervene, so he, as an agent, has to do it.
Although Song Fuxing was a bit unlucky as an artist in the past, his personal ability is not weak at all, otherwise it would not be possible for him to get back several scripts as soon as he became Gu Yi's manager.
So in less than half an hour, Song Fuxing was having a lively chat with the agents and directors.
Yang Nian, the second male lead, was chatting with Gu Yi.
"Gu Yi, thanks to you, your summer vacation filming "Extreme Life" just ended, Director Ding found me and said he wanted to invite me to the next season." Yang Nian said with a smile.
"How can this be because of my blessing? Director Ding came to you because he took a fancy to you. When the time comes, go and perform well." Gu Yi shook his head and said.
"You can't say that. Director Ding said that you recommended me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have this opportunity."
Gu Yi did say this at the time, but Gu Yi also recommended Zhou Le.
But I didn't expect Ding Liang to really listen.
"Anyway, I have to treat you to a meal later." Yang Nian took Gu Yi's arm with great enthusiasm.
"Okay, that's no problem."
After that, the director came in and handed each of them a piece of paper with some questions and reference answers that reporters would ask at that time.
If the actors themselves can answer better, they don't have to follow the above, but there is only one main idea, and that is to promote "Knives Out" well.
"Gu Yi, there are several aspects of the process that I have to talk to you about separately. After all, this is publicity, so as a director I definitely have to talk about the creative process, but as the male lead, you also have to talk about it. Shooting experience, if you don’t know what to say then, just say a few words.”
Gu Yi thought for a while: "Is there a time limit?"
The director smiled. He didn't think Gu Yi, a student, could say much, so he shook his head: "There are no restrictions. You don't have to worry. You can just say whatever you want."
"Okay, director, if you feel you don't have enough time, just give me a hint."
The director naturally nodded in agreement.
After putting on makeup, when the reporters outside were in place, several people also came outside.
The process proceeds as preset.
Most of the questions reporters asked were written on paper.
However, including the director, second male lead, and others, when asked by reporters what unforgettable things happened during filming, they all mentioned Gu Yi.
"The most unforgettable thing during filming must be Gu Yi. In the past, we would shoot to the end, but Gu Yi really worked hard. The script said to run 20 kilometers, and he actually ran for two seconds. For ten kilometers, do as many abdominal bar wraps as you are told.
At that time, Gu Yi was completely exhausted after running. We supported him and walked a long way before we carried him back.
There are also abdominal bar twists, especially this abdominal twist bar. We will release the behind-the-scenes at that time. After Gu Yi did more than 300 times, he vomited when he came down. Moreover, his stomach was all bruised and blood seeped from his clothes. Come out, anyway, I have never seen such a hard-working person while filming.
So it's not just Xu Sen, the protagonist in the play, who is cruel to him, but Gu Yi is also very cruel to him. "
Then the reporter asked Gu Yi again.
"Because my health was relatively poor before, I thought I would take this opportunity to exercise. I had been in shape for a few months before filming, but after I got to the army, I found that I was always like this, so I thought Just do as much as you can and run as much as you can."
After the reporter asked the questions, the director talked about the creative process for about ten minutes.
Then it was Gu Yi's turn.
"Then let me say a few words."
Then Gu Yi started talking eloquently. Not only the reporters were dumbfounded, but also the director. He didn't know that Gu Yi could speak so well.
But it happened that what he said was not just nonsense. He was very organized from beginning to end. He praised everyone in the crew except himself, and in the end he even sublimated the central idea.
In the end, Gu Yi looked at the time calmly, and it happened to be one minute less than what the director said.
It's good, it didn't steal the director's spotlight.
After the press conference, nothing happened. Yang Nian was going to treat Gu Yi to dinner, but Gu Yi was still surrounded by many reporters when he went out.
It's a private interview now, so they can ask questions that have nothing to do with "Knives Out."
"Gu Yi, can you tell me your opinion on the collapse of former teammates Li Weifan and Zhuo Yu?"
"Gu Yi, what is your evaluation of Zeng Xuejun?"
"Gu Yi, have you known everything for a long time? That's why you showed that expression when you were on "Ordinary Life" last year?"
Each one is more powerful than the other, but Gu Yi will naturally not show any flaws.
"First of all, this journalist friend from Entertainment Daily, your microphone almost hit my mouth."
"Secondly, I am actually not very good at observing people's opinions. At that time, I just agreed with the views of those teachers, but I just didn't know how to answer them."
"Finally, I just want to say one thing, life is not easy, just do it and cherish it."
