"Warmly celebrate the dream project and its perfect ending."
After the filming was finally completed, they went back and held a celebration party of their own.
After more than a month of work, I am finally done.
"But after all, the wish of Lao Zhu's fan is the most interesting. It's really fun to play like this."
Zhou Le said.
"Indeed, but this is also spent with real money. It's fun to have money. If they weren't usually reluctant to part with it, they wouldn't write it into their wishes." Gu Yi said.
"But I think what Xiaoxue's fan did was pretty fun. Let's go on a plane later. I've never done that before."
"Okay, let's do team building in a while and invite people from both studios."
"But if you ask me, Gu Yi is the one who makes more sense. These young couples are really in love. I want to go to the banquet when they get married." Zhu Yanfang said enviously. He still doesn't have a girlfriend, but Firstly, there was no suitable person around him, and secondly, no one took the initiative to confess to him.
At this point, Zhou Le and Jia Zhe didn't say anything because they were also single.
But during the period of filming the variety show, many domestic variety shows began to contact the New Bee Band and wanted to invite them to participate.
But Gu Yi and Yu Xue still have things to do in December. Their work at hand conflicts with the variety show recording time, so they can't get over it.
Then the variety show thought about it again and finally decided to call individual members over.
So now, except Gu Yi and Yu Xue, everyone else has received invitations from variety shows.
Some are lifestyle shows, some are game shows, and there are also challenge variety shows.
"Okay, brothers, let's rest first. Later, you can go to a variety show. Xiaoxue and I will do movie promotion here."
"Well, it's okay. You can go and do your work and don't worry about us. When we go on the variety show, we will give your movie a good promotion."
"Haha, that's all right. I'll thank you on behalf of Brother Feng. After I finish working on the movie, I'll ask Brother Feng to treat everyone to dinner."
"That's no problem. Now he is a dark horse in the director world. Maybe he will take a fancy to us and let us play a few roles?"
So in the next month, Gu Yi and Yu Xue began to follow Yu Feng to do publicity.
Since the heroine of the movie is Ning Xiu, and Ning Xiu is also very busy in the company, she can only promote it when there is nothing else to do.
The Strangers movie is finally scheduled to be released on Christmas Eve.
This year’s Chinese New Year falls in early February, so we’re halfway into the Lunar New Year celebrations.
However, releasing it some time in advance can avoid the most competitive time slots.
Take a few steps first.
Therefore, Gu Yi went to a road show every few days, and Christmas Eve arrived in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Christmas trees can be seen everywhere at the door of shops on the street, including those with Santa Claus, candies, bells, elk and other stickers on the window glass.
There were even some female anchors wearing red cosplay costumes and dancing on the street. Opposite them was a long mobile phone holder.
"You are so dedicated. You can still dance outside in this weather. They deserve the money they make."
Gu Yi sighed.
"Actually, to a certain extent, they are quite professional. If it were me, it would be okay for me to act while filming, but I can't do it if I deliberately act ugly in the live broadcast room."
Yu Xue also nodded.
"After all, this is what people earn."
While chatting, they arrived at the entrance of the cinema.
There are already many fans waiting here, but fans can't get in without receiving invitations.
After Gu Yi got off the car, the fans on both sides started cheering and shouted the names of Gu Yi and Yu Xue loudly.
"Hey, why are you guys bothering? Just support us in the cinema. It's so cold outside." Gu Yi sighed.
Fans shouted: "It's okay, we are not afraid of the cold."
However, Gu Yi and Song Fuxing still moved several huge cardboard boxes from the trunk and back seat.
Because the movie had been officially announced on Weibo before that it would premiere here today, it was foreseeable that many fans would come, so Gu Yi also specially ordered a lot of scarves and gloves beforehand. Bring it over and send it.
"Thank you everyone for coming to support our movie today, so in order to thank you, the crew also specially prepared some small gifts for everyone, but because the car is so big, the gifts are limited and not everyone can have it. If you want Everyone can line up to get it.”
And the fans' eyes lit up after hearing this.
I immediately went to the side and started queuing.
As a result, an old lady who happened to be passing by saw the queue here and curiously asked what was being distributed here.
She could still think that people were giving out winter vegetables or eggs here again.
After learning that scarves and gloves were being distributed here, I quickly ran to the back with my vegetable basket and queued up.
A total of 600 copies of gloves and scarves were prepared, and everyone could choose whether they wanted gloves or scarves.
Then Song Fuxing handed out gifts at the door, while Gu Yi and Yu Xue entered the cinema.
"Fourth is here. When I came in just now, there were all your fans outside. Did you say hello to them?"
"Yes, I even prepared some gifts for them this time, but it's just in the name of our crew."
"Haha, are you so considerate that most people who receive gifts won't go to the cinema to watch it?"
"I am very sure of that."
In fact, it was not a loss for Gu Yi to do this. He bought the one with better quality.
A pair of gloves costs 50 yuan, a scarf costs 200 yuan, and movie tickets cost 20 to 30 yuan. Afterwards, they only need to bring a friend over, and the price of that glove is covered.
If I could bring everyone from the dormitory, I might even have enough money for a scarf.
Then, if you promote it with your friends around you, you won’t lose anything.
What's more, if you send a gift at the door once, it can be sent online again.
Forwarding it is a greater breadth.
After all, with the current market price, it would cost more than this to just find an internet celebrity to promote it.
Entering inside, Gu Yi also saw many acquaintances, including Liao Facun.
Now Yu Feng and Liao Facun have a good relationship. When they were filming Crazy Jade, Gu Yi asked Liao Facun to come over for guidance. After that, Yu Feng would also contact Liao Facun from time to time.
"Actually, I'm very optimistic about your movie. Although I don't know what it's about, but according to the comments of film critics on the Internet, this kind of news that combines social hot topics is actually very marketable, and as long as it can touch people's hearts, then Don’t worry about not having a box office.”
"Director Liao, thank you for the award. In fact, I came up with this idea at the same time. As long as I don't lose money, it will be fine."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Liao Facun said with a smile.
"Haha, if Director Liao can say that, then I will definitely feel relieved."
Then they entered the theater and took their seats.
In fact, all the guests who came to the premiere knew something about this movie. Just like Liao Facun, although they had not seen the full version, they could still make some guesses based on the articles of film critics.
But those are only part of it.
After all, the movie hasn’t been released yet, so there must be no spoilers.
They still have this kind of professional ethics, otherwise who would invite them next time?
However, they are still curious about how the final full version of the movie will look.
After entering, the host first went on stage to say a few words, and then invited Yu Feng to come up. However, Yu Feng still said the same things as thanking everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend the premiere.
As the lights dimmed, the movie officially began.
Liao Facun sat in the middle of the fifth row, watching the movie attentively.
At the beginning of the film, Liao Facun watched the character played by Gu Yi lose his father. After that, he quit his job and drank all day long to drown his sorrows and compete with other people online.
He is a director himself, so when watching a movie, he will unconsciously put himself into the perspective of the film director, analyze the final meaning of each shot, and analyze some details that other moviegoers will not notice. .
"The vicious comments made by netizens here and that mother must have been foreshadowing." Liao Fachun thought to himself and secretly wrote it down.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Senbai, played by Gu Yi, contacted the mother and said that he could provide help, but the condition was that the mother would kneel around the Oriental Pearl Tower.
Seeing this, Liao Facun instinctively felt something strange.
But thinking about it, Wang Senbai was very violent online before, so I can understand it now.
But at the same time, he began to think about what kind of character Yu Feng wanted to create?
Are you trying to make Wang Senbai a bad guy?
There are movies with bad guy protagonists, but they usually have a motive, and it’s not enough just to have the father die now.
If this is the case, then there is not enough foreshadowing.
However, we do not rule out the possibility of additional settings later.
But regardless of what happens next, at least at this point he has already started to get angry.
There are many ways to prove one's true identity. As a rich second generation, if you really want to, you can just go and see the other person.
But the other party still chooses to use this method, which is undoubtedly humiliating.
Sure enough, later on, after the mother fulfilled the rich second generation's request, the rich second generation disappeared out of thin air.
But immediately afterwards, the mother's kneeling around the Oriental Pearl Tower attracted widespread attention.
The reporter played by Yu Xue was scolded at the newspaper office. He suddenly saw the news on his way to get off work, so he immediately went to his mother's house to conduct an interview, which made the matter on the news and made the headlines of the newspaper.
The abuse from netizens, the accusations from friends, the disgust of everyone around me, no one wanted me even if I was looking for a job.
Wang Senbai's personal information was pulled out, and many people called and insulted him every day.
Even if he moved to a new place, he would always be found and a wreath would be placed at the door of his house or building.
After being recognized after eating outside, someone even came up and spat in his food.
Someone even opened a special post on the Internet, and every day someone would come in and curse before leaving.
But Wang Senbai never explained.
But as time went by, people also forgot about this incident. It was not until 17 years later that someone remembered it again and found the original child.
The child only learned about this from his mother, and things turned around.
After seeing the reversal here, everyone suddenly realized.
Including people watching movies.
But after so many years, Wang Senbai's name has also been changed to Wang Senmu, because his innocence is no longer there, so naturally his name does not deserve the word "白".
So people began to apologize one after another, and some people who were still questioning were chased and scolded by those who were moved.
In the last shot of the movie, Wang Senmu was lying in a dilapidated rental house, watching someone live streaming goods on his mobile phone.
At this time a phone call came in.
"Hello Mr. Wang, we are from Starlight Media. We are recruiting anchors. Now you have a lot of traffic on the Internet, so we want to sign you to the company. And don't worry, you are a hero with a chivalrous spirit. At that time, we will definitely give you a contract that satisfies you, which is five million a year, and there will also be a commission for the sale of the goods. In addition, we will also strictly control the selection of goods for you."
But before the other party could finish speaking, Wang Senmu said he was not interested and hung up the phone.
Just when the live broadcast company was on the phone, the sound of car locking was heard outside.
After hanging up the phone, someone knocked on the door outside.
It was Wang Senmu's old friend, Lao Gui, who came in.
It turns out that after the old ghost discovered this, he did feel that his old friend had changed at first and became a bit strange to him.
Although the old ghost himself is a scumbag, compared with him, Wang Senbai is simply a beast.
But later Wang Senbai revealed his plan and asked Lao Gui to be the driving force behind it.
Wang Senbai will be the bad guy, and then the old ghost will use the influence of the marketing account to question, register accounts in major forums and post posts to criticize Wang Senbai.
In the end, the two of them were in this small rental house, eating side dishes, drinking beer, and bragging, just like they did when they were young.
But this time it was Wang Senmu who spoke loudly, and Wang Senmu loudly talked about what happened to him back then.
Say how great and heroic you are.
Even in the face of thousands of accusations, he didn't even confess.
At this time, the host on the TV who had previously criticized Wang Senmu was still doing his job as a host. He mentioned this matter again, but the meaning behind his words was still criticism.
But at this time, Wang Senmu didn't care anymore.
They are just strangers.
Finally, it was Wang Senmu's perspective. After drinking too much, he had sat on the ground from the sofa, and finally he was leaning on the cushion of the sofa with hazy eyes.
And the old ghost asked him again and he didn't regret doing what he did.
But Wang Senmu didn't answer, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Liao Facun's first feeling after watching this movie was that he was a little shocked. A person could not tell the truth for 17 years, allowing netizens to abuse him online and being told the truth offline.
In the final analysis, Wang Senbai is just an ordinary person.
In this drama, Wang Senbai is not considered a good guy because he took advantage of everyone's love, otherwise he wouldn't have been scolded by so many people in the first place.
Lao Gui is not a good person either. As the owner behind many marketing accounts, he spreads rumors and even boasts that no one will know who is behind this online.
The reporter is also not a good person, because this reporter was just an intern at the newspaper.
Because she could not write any hot news, she was scolded by her boss all day long. Later, she went for the interview because she felt that this matter was particularly explosive, and she also had a share of the credit behind the overwhelming scolding of Wang Senbai on the Internet.
All the dialogue and psychological activities are about the reporter being proud of benefiting from this.
Not to mention netizens, who basically follow public opinion.
Even the mother was not a good person, because in the whole incident, only three people knew about the plan.
But in these 17 years, she never clarified the truth because she saw how powerful those netizens were. Although she could go around begging for help for her son, she lost the courage to stand up after her son's illness was cured. .
There is no perfect good guy in this drama from beginning to end.
Including this story, it is not a perfect story. Although it gained some value in the end, Wang Senmu did not accept the media company's invitation to become a product anchor, but Wang Senmu's life did not change because of this.
But Liao Facun just thinks this movie is good-looking.
So after the film ended, he clapped vigorously.
Then the creative team came on stage.
Yu Feng talked about some of the creative process, and others also talked about their experiences during filming.
But during the audience question session, a girl stood up and asked, "Teacher Gu Yi, I want to ask you, do you think the character you played in this movie did the right thing?"
Gu Yi took the phone and thought for a while: "That's not right."
“Although the result was good for the mother and child, the process of this matter was wrong, but they would not have done it if there was a better way.
But as far as the whole story is concerned from beginning to end, from my personal point of view it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Although it is very complicated, what I can do is to play this role well. To be honest, when I was playing After finishing the play, it took me a long time to recover from the complicated emotions. In the end, what I consoled myself with was that if I hadn't encountered this kind of thing, I would have just regarded it as a story. "
Then someone stood up and asked, why did Ning Xiu agree to star in this movie?
Ning Xiu took the microphone: "Originally I didn't plan to act, because I'm not an actor at all, but they really can't recruit people, and I also invested money in this movie, plus Gu Yi My future daughter-in-law and I also had roles here, so I gave it a try, and they said yes, and I ended up acting like that."
Immediately afterwards, other viewers stood up and expressed their opinions on the film.
Some of them are mothers, some are fathers, and some are also journalists.
Others analyze it from the perspective of netizens.
But no matter which view, the creative team did not refute it.
Because they know that what people say in the movie theater is actually quite tactful, but in the movie, the comments made by netizens are the norm.
The upper limit of their quality and character is very high, but the lower limit is also very low.
After the premiere, Yu Feng took the creative team out for a meal, and then returned to the New Bee Band's studio in the evening.
And this time Ning Xiu is here.
But there was only one guest room here, and they were all young people, so Ning Xiu said that she should stay in a hotel. Anyway, the hotel room was still empty and all the money was spent.
"Mom, if that doesn't work, let's live in the same room. Anyway, I have a double bed over there." At this time, Yu Xue said.
"That's okay with me, I'm just afraid that you'll dislike it."
"Hey, what do I have to dislike? You are Gu Yi's mother, and that means my mother. How can you still dislike me? I wish I could share a bed with you and chat."
Ning Xiu's smiling face was about to bloom.
I am in my 40s, not married, and this is the first time I have been called mom.
And it was Yu Xue who called her.
"Okay, we'll live in the same room today."
But Ning Xiu is an elder here, and she ordered a lot of takeaways as a treat that night.
Everyone was just like this in the conference room, chatting, eating takeaway chicken wing tips, crayfish, and chicken feet, drinking beer, and watching the box office.
Yu Feng is also grateful to the other members of the New Bee.
During this December, everyone else on variety shows was promoting promotional films.
Others in New Bee were also very enthusiastic towards Ning Xiu, because they all knew how good Ning Xiu was to Gu Yi in the beginning.
Including that time when Gu Yi went to the toilet all day long, Ning Xiu locked all the toilets and gave everyone a key, except Gu Yi who didn't.
If you just treat Gu Yi as an employee, there is no need to go to this point.
"By the way, I suddenly thought of a question. Although Gu Yi regards me as his mother in his heart, he calls me sister. But if you call me mom, Xiaoxue, then Gu Yi admits that he has become your brother-in-law."
"Hahaha."
The others laughed when they heard this.
"I don't have any objections. What about you, uncle?"
Gu Yi also threw away a handful of melon seed peels in his hand: "I don't have any objections."
But the film Strangers has soared at the box office since its premiere.
Although many bloggers and film critics said on the Internet that this was the love of consumers, in the end they forcibly sublimated the theme, showing that Wang Senmu was unwilling to live broadcast to bring goods, and there were many loopholes in the plot.
Including Wang Senmu, who was willing to bear the infamy for more than ten years without coming out to clarify. The mother also did not speak out because she was worried about being scolded by netizens.
But many young people like this movie very much.
"Sir, he is more powerful than anyone in the world. He has entered the situation with his own life and is willing to bear the infamy for seventeen years."
This sentence is also popular.
Including some people, after watching it several times, they analyzed in depth why the mother did not stand up and speak out.
Because that mother knows what she paid for her son's health.
From the beneficiary's point of view, she should speak up, but from the mother's point of view, his words will inevitably break the peaceful life of the family.
Although she has always felt guilty about Wang Senbai in her heart, she is a mother after all.
Including the fact that people brought up the matter again in the end, or the child came back and asked about what happened that year, she finally told her son the truth.
Then the child told the story again.
She just cried bitterly in front of the camera and expressed her apology.
As the mastermind of the whole thing, Wang Senbai, because he lost his father, actually still hates this society from the bottom of his heart, because he knows too well the feeling of having a loved one lying in the ward but he himself is powerless.
But on the one hand, I hate society, and on the other hand, I hate myself.
I hate myself for not being able to do anything.
Although this planning was unfair, at least he himself never regretted it.
And since he has already suffered the infamy, he will still be scolded by netizens even if he speaks out. Instead of being scolded by everyone, it is better for him to bear it silently. Anyway, as long as 10 and 8 years pass, everyone will forget about it.
"So what's the difference between what you're doing now and the trolls in the movie?"
"Actually, I think this movie is about the chaos on the Internet. On the Internet, you can take off your mask and be your true self. You can even vent to your heart's content and claim to be righteous, but what everyone does is really Just, how do you define justice?"
"Maybe to the public, neither the mother nor Wang Senbai is just, but to them they are both just. The mother protected the child and the family, and Wang Senbai protected his heart." (End of Chapter)
