Chapter 54
"Come on, can someone explain what this is all about? Why is our movie promotion all about this song and dance? Some viewers even gave negative reviews to the movie because they said this was not included in our movie. Duan Xiu! Who arranged this stupid thing!" the film distribution director of Friendship Brothers lectured in the office.
No one from the distribution and publicity staff dared to speak.
"Deaf, who arranged for them to sing in our movie promotion?"
"Director Yang of the Publicity and Development Department agreed."
"Where's Lao Yang?"
"Director Yang is following us on a roadshow..."
Hearing the staff say that it was Director Yang of the Publicity and Development Department who agreed, Director Qi, who was in anger, made a phone call in front of the staff. "Lao Yang, what's going on at the Yancheng road show and what's going on with those girls?"
"Mr. Qi, you are talking about the singing group Tara, right?"
"I don't care what their names are, why are they causing trouble at our movie promotion site? I'm going to sue them!"
"Mr. Qi, this girl group has a cameo in our movie."
"Guest appearance, that can't be messed up in the promotion of our movie!"
"Mr. Qi, alas, I didn't handle this well. Let's be honest. The director wanted them to make a guest appearance, and they did. They were not popular at that time, and the guest appearance didn't cost any money. Later, in the past two months, you also know that girl groups have become popular, and their group called Crown Group is one of the most popular girl groups. I thought that since the girl group is popular, I want them to participate in our movie promotion and increase Losing popularity. Alas!"
"and then?"
"Then I contacted them and asked them to help with promotion, but their studio refused, saying that guest appearances are free, and now they are still promoting for free. It doesn't make sense, and the contract doesn't require it. So I bargained with their agent for a long time. , and later their manager said that it’s okay not to pay them, as they will release a new album on the 22nd and let their girl group sing a new song at our movie venue.”
"Oh, Lao Yang, you have been fooled."
"Old Qi, we are not 20-year-old boys. If you think about it carefully, you even paid for singers to sing at the movie promotion ceremony. Now that they are popular, they come to promote the movie for us for free. It's free. Sing a song to cheer up, isn’t that what I want?”
Director Qi thought about it, and it seemed like this was the case, but why was the situation different?
"Old Qi, I was wrong because I underestimated how good these little girls are at singing and dancing. I originally wanted them to sing a song to cheer up the mood and lighten the atmosphere. Who knew that their singing and dancing took over the show? This song is all It doesn’t matter, this dance is so eye-catching. It attracted everyone’s attention. We underestimated our young people.”
At this point, Director Qi understood everything clearly. Under normal circumstances, this operation is really no problem. Just like Director Yang said, a few days ago, a singer was invited to sing at the movie premiere in Yangcheng, and the song was also a new song. Ah, but it didn’t cause a media sensation. The problem is that you hired a singer to sing here in Beijing, but this song became a sensation. It was so sensational that people stopped paying attention to your movie. Who do you blame? The weirdo sings too well?
Director Qi hung up the phone and asked the staff to go out. He smoked a cigarette dully for a while. The box office of this movie is probably in doubt again. "Flash Girl" is actually a good movie, but why did it suffer the same fate twice? It's full of twists and turns.
For several days in a row, the news about Tara has been hot. Many passers-by are posting short videos imitating several of Tara's dances, especially the recent song "Mr" and the hip dance. The hip dance is very unique, especially for Tara. It felt like a bunch of doll-like cuteness, and paired with this song, it really touched a lot of people.
The continued popularity of tara has also attracted more people's attention, including some people with ulterior motives.
Suddenly, a set of photos appeared on the Internet. There were more than one photo of a handsome young man taking an intimate photo with Qin Jiali, a member of Tara. As the saying goes, the opening picture is all about editing. Isn't tara on the rise? Let's just take advantage of the popularity.
So under an unmistakable group photo, various words appeared: about a rumored boyfriend, about abandoning a husband and a son, about a mistress taking over, about abortion in a foreign country, about sisters competing for husbands, as long as you can think of the plot, it has appeared on the Internet. . Not to mention, some of the plots are so attractive that Qin Jiali herself shed tears and cried for the heroine in the story. Believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
At this time, in Fat Cat Studio, several big bosses in the company, Juzi Qinjiali and others were all in the conference room. Qin Jiali said what the photo was about: it was taken on the set of "Everyone Escapes" and the other person was a model. It was as simple as that. We do occasionally chat on WeChat privately, but we have never met in person. As for who posted it on the Internet, it was either the person himself, deliberately trying to gain popularity; or it was the paparazzi, deliberately trying to gain popularity; or it was a passerby, deliberately trying to gain popularity.
Seeing that Qin Jiali was clear-headed and confident, Xia Haoyang, Xie Shujie and Ju Zi also felt that they had nothing to say. Xia Haoyang could only say: "First: the company does not object to artists falling in love, but the company cannot be the last to know, and there are many things that the company can wipe its ass and solve the problem; but if the company feels that it must be hidden from the public, then the artist must comply and make it public Romance must be approved by the company. Second: We will pursue those with ulterior motives to the end."
"It is actually very easy to deal with the various slanders against Belle." Juzi said.
"Well, it's not a big problem to deal with." Xie Shujie also agreed.
"Oh, what's the best way to solve it?" Zhao Yishen asked.
"Qin Jiali is a very lively girl. She took photos with many people in "Everyone on the Run". This episode happened to be released next weekend, so it was appropriate to advertise the show. So Jiali took selfies with everyone. Just upload a few more photos of the group photos on the official website, but avoid uploading the ones from the next issue. This will be fine, and any rumors will be self-defeating." Juzi replied.
"And I suggest that the beauty also upload a photo that is currently circulating, but there is no need to deliberately explain it, just mix it into the photos you posted of various people taking photos together." Xie Shujie said.
"This is a good idea, Lao Xie, so let's do it like this. I won't respond to all kinds of slanders and rumors. I will just post pictures, a lot of them." Xia Haoyang said.
