Chapter 542 542. Press Conference

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. This is the truest portrayal of the hearts of many media nowadays.

Some so-called professional editors and media people have previously commented on "My Love from the Star", saying that the TV series will at most rely on Nie Wei's popularity to support itself, and then it will start to go up and down. But what is the result?

Now my face is still swollen like a pig's head.

Therefore, even if there are a few brand-new newcomers to take the lead, many media will not dare to criticize the performance of this TV series too much. At most, they will just make an ambiguous guess to express concern.

After all, the previous performance of "My Love from the Star" was too dazzling, so dazzling that they had to admire Nie Wei's ability, and idol dramas can be so smooth.

Fortunately, Huayi did not leave the media with nothing to write home about, and soon announced that it would hold a press conference for a new TV series.

Huayi sent out about 120 invitations, covering countless entertainment media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. According to statistics, there were 109 media present that day, including many mainland media, all of whom were present. This shows how great Huayi's influence is in the industry. The press conference of a TV series can mobilize the media across the country to participate.

The meeting was scheduled for nine in the morning. Nearly 400 reporters came to the scene that day. Together with the Huayi staff on site, the large conference room with 600 people in the Marriott Hotel was fully occupied.

Jing Boran, Zheng Shuang and others arrived at the hotel at seven o'clock in the morning. They put on makeup and changed clothes in the reserved room, and had to be told by their agent what they could and couldn't say for a while.

"You must be single when answering about love. The reporter may also ask questions about your ideal type. You can choose a senior in the same company, such as Zhou Xun or Fan Binbin. But Jingbao remembers that you want to say Zheng Shuang. If the reporter When asked if you have a crush on Zheng Shuang, don’t answer. Give an ambiguous answer, such as ‘Zheng Shuang is very cute, and boys will like girls like this’. Do you understand?”

The agent sister warned the four big boys, especially Jing Boran, who gave him a special mention.

"I understand, Sister Liang, don't worry, I will answer carefully." Jing Boran looked at Sister Liang and replied seriously.

Mentioning that my ideal type is Zheng Shuang has been arranged by the company a long time ago. To put it bluntly, it is to create excitement for the new drama and create some scandals. It will also increase the audience's sense of immersion when watching the TV series, and this kind of ambiguity The answer will naturally be clarified by the company after the popularity of the TV series has passed.

In fact, most media reporters can guess it, but they also need this kind of subject matter to attract readers, so they will definitely cooperate actively.

In another room, the makeup artist was putting makeup on Zheng Shuang, while the agent on the side was consulting the costume designer on accessories and clothing.

"Xiao Shuang is suitable for youthful style, so it is best to wear platinum jewelry. It should be small and elegant, not too big or exaggerated, as it will not match the clothes."

"Also, the back zipper of this costume must be carefully checked to ensure there are no problems."

"These shoes are a bit big. Please change them to a half size smaller."

Zheng Shuang felt like a little puppet being played around by these sisters, but she didn't hate this feeling. After all, there were so many beautiful clothes to wear, so many beautiful jewelry to wear, and so many people. Serving herself, Zheng Shuang really felt for a moment that she was living a princess-like life.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of Zheng Shuang's room, interrupting the conversation between the manager and the costume designer.

"Who?" the agent asked as he went to open the door. When he opened the door, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was surprised to find that it was the company's boss Wang Zhonglei who came.

"Xiao Li, how are Zheng Shuang's preparations going?" Wang Zhonglei stood at the door and asked Zheng Shuang's manager Li Lai.

"It's almost ready." Li Lai replied, while quickly inviting Wang Zonglei into the room. Although his expression did not change, there was joy in his eyes. The boss came specifically to visit the class. Is it obvious that he valued Zheng Shuang? , as Zheng Shuang's agent, he is naturally happy.

"Hello, Uncle Wang." Zheng Shuang also saw Wang Zhonglei, but as she was putting on makeup, she was stopped by Wang Zhonglei when she was about to get up: "You put on your makeup, I'm just here to take a look."

Wang Zhonglei sat on the sofa nearby, and Li Lai sat beside him.

"Have you told Xiaoshuang everything you need to give?"

"I've said it all." Li Lai replied: "You should avoid the emotional aspect and talk more about TV series and characters. In the seating arrangement, I arranged Teacher Wang Lin next to Zheng Shuang. I can take care of her when the time comes. If there are any difficult questions, Teacher Wang will help you.”

"Well, that's good." Wang Zhonglei nodded, very satisfied with Li Lai's arrangement.

This is not the first time that Wang Lin, an actor, has collaborated with Huayi. She had a good relationship with Nie Wei during the filming of "My Love from the Star". In "My Love from the Star", Tong Mengxi's mother Nie Wei It was suggested that she should play the role, and her popularity has increased a lot through this TV series.

This time, Huayi was filming its second idol drama and asked her to play the heroine's mother. Wang Lin agreed without saying a word.

Wang Zhonglei is very relieved to have this experienced actor taking care of Zheng Shuang.

"If there is no problem with Xiaoshuang, I will leave first. I will keep an eye on the venue." After sitting for ten minutes, Wang Zhonglei said goodbye.

With Zheng Shuang's sweet "Goodbye Uncle Wang", Li Lai escorted Wang Zhonglei out of the room with a smile on his face. When she closed the door again, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Obviously, Wang Zhonglei's last sentence was not an excuse. So he was able to take more than ten minutes out of his busy schedule to look at Zheng Shuang. This definitely shows that he attaches great importance to this child. For agents, what better news is there than that the artist in their hands is valued by the company, because this will mean that the company's high-quality resources will be inclined towards the artist, which means that they are likely to bring out a big star.

Half an hour later, the press conference of the TV series "Boys Over Flowers" started on time.

Led by director Li Dawei, producer Luo Yuan, starring Zheng Shuang, Jing Boran, Li Yifeng, Ma Tianyu, Zhaxi Dunzhu, and several important supporting actors Wang Lin, Yue Yueli and others, they attended together.

The moment several people walked into the venue from the side door, the media reporters on the scene immediately pressed the cameras in their hands, and the flash lights suddenly lit up the city in the daytime, with a huge momentum.

The girls and boys were a little nervous in the face of such a scene, but they were more excited, especially Li Yifeng and the other two. This was their first time to attend such a grand TV series press conference. Thinking that they would soon debut as Yan Yu, they were so excited.

The media reporters were taking pictures while looking at the protagonists.

The first impression was that they were really young. Among the protagonists, the oldest was Ma Tianyu, who was only born in 1986, and the youngest Zheng Shuang was even born in the 1990s.

Although the ages of these protagonists were quite consistent with the characters in the novel, the media reporters also admired Huayi's boldness, and they really dared to give such an important TV series to these children.

"But you have to say, the children selected by Huayi are all very photogenic." A reporter who was checking the photos after taking them couldn't help saying when he saw these handsome men and beautiful women in the camera.

"What's the use of being good-looking? Acting in TV series still depends on acting skills." Someone disagreed.

"You think too much. How much acting skills can idol dramas require?" This statement immediately attracted ridicule. A reporter said, "Do you really think Nie Wei is confused? I can guarantee that none of us can be as clear-headed as Nie Wei. Just wait and see. Nie Wei will do unreliable things?"

After these words, the voices of opposition disappeared immediately. In the current entertainment industry, the name Nie Wei simply represents shrewdness. At least from his debut to now, Nie Wei has not done anything unreliable. Everything he wants to do will eventually succeed.

And before Nie Wei's golden signboard lost its luster, these words were really very convincing.

Of course, there are also some people who want to see Nie Wei laugh at him, and there are also many people who hope that Nie Wei can fall into a big fall. After all, for Nie Wei, success is not news, but his failure is big news.

After the photo shoot, the press conference quickly entered the main topic. First, a PPT was played to the media reporters on the scene. The content was all related to the achievements of the comic "Boys Over Flowers", and the host introduced it on the side.

"This comic has sold more than 50 million copies across Asia so far."

"It is the best-selling girl comic in RB. It has been translated into many languages ​​and adapted into animations, TV series, movies, etc. It is very famous in Asia and even the world."

"The works adapted before have also achieved excellent results, such as Taiwan's "Meteor Garden"..."

A long list of data proves how successful this comic is, and how successful the works adapted from it are. In short, it makes the media reporters feel that as long as this TV series is filmed, it will definitely be a hit.

"The copywriter is a master, I am almost brainwashed." The reporter below complained. After half an hour, he really stood on Huayi's standpoint to think about things for a while, but this is also because the data Huayi brought out is indeed very convincing.

Soon, under the expectation of the reporters, the question-and-answer session finally began.

"This reporter is from Kyoto Wenhua Newspaper." The host called out the names, and the first one was Kyoto Wenhua Newspaper, which made the surrounding media reporters scream that there was a shady deal, but they could do nothing about it, because Kyoto Wenhua Newspaper is the iron mouthpiece of Huayi.

The reporter of Kyoto Wenhua Newspaper stood up under the envious eyes of his colleagues around him and asked Jing Bairan on the stage.

"Jingbao, this is your second time to act in a TV series, but last time you were a supporting role, and this time you are the main character. How does this change affect you?"

Jing Bairan adjusted the microphone in front of him, thinking about the answer he had memorized in his heart, and answered: "There is pressure, but also more motivation. The company chose me as the main character, which is a trust in me, and I hope to make more efforts to repay the company's trust. I will work hard to complete my role and live up to the expectations of the company and the director."

"I would also like to ask Zheng Shuang, this is your second time working with Jing Bairan. Will the previous experience of being a partner make you more tacit in the process of filming this TV series?"

"Brother Jingbao and I are indeed very familiar with each other. When filming "My Love from the Star", Brother Jingbao took great care of me. I think this will make us more tacit in the cooperation of the new play. I also hope that our tacit understanding can bring better chemical reaction to this TV series." Zheng Shuang answered.

"Thank you." The reporter smiled and sat down, looking at his colleague who was taking notes on a laptop. During the Q\u0026A session, the colleague had already recorded several key points of the two people's answers on his laptop.

Then he called two arranged media reporters, focused on promoting the TV series, and then really entered the free question session.

"Jing Bairan, what is your ideal type?"

"I think Xiaoshuang has a good personality."

"I just heard Xiaoshuang's answer, and she has a good impression of you. Will you make your friendship closer?"

"Our friendship is already very deep now."

"Li Yifeng..."

In addition to Jing Bairan and Zheng Shuang, the media did not let go of Li Yifeng and others, asking them if they had girlfriends, their ideal types, and whether they were nervous about their first acting. Countless questions made the rookies sweat coldly, and Wang Lin and others helped them on the side. Several times when no one could answer, they stood up to help them block questions.

While the TV series press conference was in full swing, seven big boys were slumped on the floor in the practice room of Huayi Company, wiping the sweat left by dance practice.

"Jing Boran and the others are attending the TV series press conference now. I heard that hundreds of reporters came."

"The company attaches great importance to it. The second idol drama is very important."

"I am a little envious. When can reporters come to take pictures of us? I don't want hundreds of them. I will be satisfied if they come with two or three."

"You little brat, look at your ambition."

"Stop chatting. Let's drink some water, take a break and practice two more dances."

The more dazzling the opponent is, the more motivated they are at this moment. They shed the sweat of youth. They don't want to leave any regrets.

After the press conference, the TV series will soon enter the process of formal preparation. Because of the experience of "My Love from the Star", the preparation work is expected to be successfully completed within half a month.

During this period, the actors need to continue to train their acting skills, read the script carefully, and prepare for the formal shooting.

During this period, another big event happened at Huayi, that is, Alan's new song, who is far away in RB, is finally going to be officially released and hit the charts.

Thanks to Qiuyeliangyue and 0773 for their support.
