Volume 1 Chapter 78 Propaganda Offensive (Part 1)

  When the car arrived at the front door of Shangri-La, Lin Xiao had already seen a large group of reporters before getting close!

  This time, the lineup of the film is luxurious enough, with Chen Daoming and Shi Qingsong alone being enough to attract countless reporters, plus Chen Jialin's directing and Er Yuehe's script. As soon as they saw the car coming over, those reporters immediately swarmed around!

  It's likely that someone who comes to Shangri-La at this time is one of the crew members!

  However, Cami didn't stop the car at all, pointed a little, and drove directly to the back door.

  Just then, Lin Xiao saw Gong Xuehua, Li Hongtao and others chatting and laughing at the door.

  There were a lot of police officers surrounding both sides of the back door, clearing up very cleanly, ensuring that every artist who came here was absolutely safe.

  They had already told Shangri-La about our license plate number. Immediately, a parking attendant came forward to guide us.

  As soon as he got off the bus, Lin Xiao immediately heard a burst of cheers.

  "Kobayashi, you're here?" "You can now! Tell me, how much has the price gone up?" Li Hongtao and Gong Xuehua asked jokingly as they saw Lin Xiao get out of the car.

  "There's definitely no second place." Lin Xiao said vaguely, changing the subject "What about the other teachers and Director Chen? Why are only Brother Li and Sister Gong here?"

  "Director Chen has arrived and is being interviewed by a team of deputy editors from the contemporary film industry. They've sent three teams over, quite a high standard." Gong Xuehua smiled and said "By the way, I love your makeup, when can you give me some guidance?"

  "Definitely, definitely." The three of them laughed and walked into the hotel.

  As soon as Lin Xiao walked into the venue, he saw seven tables covered with red tablecloths, each with two name tags on top. The upper part was the name and the lower part was the role played.

  Behind the table, there were three large posters. They were five or six meters long, with the four big characters "Kangxi Dynasty" written in bold strokes. Next to them was the cast list.

  There were only five or six reporters in the hall, and now that the reporters have not been released yet, those who can come in are all entertainment magazines that can rival the contemporary film industry.

  As soon as they saw them coming in, the reporters rushed over.

  Gong Xuehua and Li Hongtao smiled at each other, they were already prepared for the interview.

  However, unexpectedly, the reporters almost uniformly rushed to Lin Xiao's side, causing the two piles of smiles that had accumulated on his face to freeze.

  "This kid." Gong Xuehua smiled wryly "He's really popular now."

  "Ten days in a row red." Li Hongtao also had a bit of flavor "Luck is really good ah."

  And four or five reporters, all of whom had thrust their microphones forward, with two even abandoning their microphones and using cameras instead, took several shots without regard for whether Lin Xiao was ready or not.

  Lin Xiao had already switched to a warm and friendly mode since he came in, with a perfect smile on his face.

  "Very good." Cami nodded secretly in the dark "I didn't expect him to be fearless at all."

  "Mr. Lin! May I ask if you are the Lin Xiao who was reported by Fashion, Rayli, and ilook ten days ago? Or is this a case of 'different people with the same name'?"

  "Mr. Lin, may I ask if the idea of 'Black Carnival' was born within the Kangxi Drama Group or outside of it?"

  "Mr. Lin, I'd like to ask, what's your opinion on the Kangxi drama team?"

  Gao Lan Chun and Xue Zhong Rui, Yao Chang An came in and saw the scene of Lin Xiao being surrounded.

  "Lao Gao, it seems he can get up without any help." Xue Zhongrui said with a smile.

  Gao Lan Chun also laughed and said "I've said it before, some people are born to make a living in the entertainment industry. He is that kind of person."

  "But this is not a good omen." Yao Chang'an furrowed his brow "This is the press conference of the Kangxi dynasty."

  Gao Lan Chun said indifferently, "Really? I think he can grasp it well."

  Facing the reporter's question, Lin Xiao laughed and said "Sorry everyone, this is a press conference of the Kangxi Dynasty, not a fashion circle press conference. If you want to ask about fashion, please go to Ying Shang Broadcasting."

  "Can't you say a few words?" The reporters were clearly unwilling to give up.

  "Hurry up and come on stage. Please don't make it difficult for our performers, everyone should know the rules."

  At a press conference for another promotion, this is a taboo for press conferences. Although journalists are helpless, they have to follow suit.

  So, the three newcomers, Gao Lan Chun, Xue Zhong Rui and Yao Chang An immediately became their next target. Unable to get what they wanted from Lin Xiao, they quickly surrounded the three veteran actors.

  Lin Xiao quietly walked to his seat and looked at his watch, 10:10.

  In twenty minutes, reporters who have applied for interview qualifications will enter one after another. The press conference of the Kangxi Dynasty will be held on time!

  The voices of the interviews were very small, and Gao Lan Chun's three people did not refuse at all. Refusing in this situation would probably cause dissatisfaction from investors and producers. Everyone understands the rules.

  At 10:20, Xue Zhongrui deliberately glanced at his watch and smiled. The reporters, still unsatisfied, let out a sigh and began to scramble for the best positions.

  At the same time, their assistants entered from a side door and also chose the best location to set up tripods.

  Chen Jialin came out, Chen Dao Ming and Si Qian Gao also arrived. Fourteen people, all sat in their own seats.

  Xue Zhongrui (Suo Ertu), Yao Chang'an (Ao Bai), Chen Daoming (Kangxi), Siqin Gaowa (Xiaozhuang), Liu Daying, Chen Jialin, Li Hongtao (Galdan), Gong Xuehua (Hui Fei), Lin Xiao (Yin Zhen), Zhu Yidan (Suoni), Gao Lanchun (Mingzhu), Ru Ping (Sumalaguo), Liao Jing Sheng (Li Guangdi), Song Laizyun (Ebilong).

  Lin Xiao looked at the person in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat again.

  Fourteen people, eight old drama bones, one film emperor and one film queen, three veteran actors, except for executive director Liu Da Ying, general director Chen Jia Lin, he is a thorough newcomer!

  How many newcomers want to come to this occasion! How many old men dream of entering the propaganda! However, such a lucky person is one in a hundred!

  And he, today as wished came here, becoming one of those hundred people!

  The cameras under the stage are like cannons aimed at the stage. These fourteen people are today's most dazzling protagonists!

  He calmed down a bit, sighed silently, and thought it was a pity that Qin Xin wasn't here.

  Thinking of Qin Xin, he was stunned for a moment, as if they hadn't contacted each other for a month. This past month, there were too many things going on, and he actually forgot, while the other party didn't call first either.

  Just as I was thinking, suddenly a hurried footsteps sounded.

  At 10:30, the doors of Shangri-La opened and dozens of journalists rushed in like doomsday shoppers, whoever took a step ahead would find the best shooting angle.

  It was extremely tacit, no one spoke a word. These were all veteran journalists, interviewing big shots like movie emperors and queens, it's impossible to let newcomers practice their skills.

  They just took a glance around and those who came in first immediately chose their seats.

  When the journalists had almost all arrived, a photography team of nearly twenty people followed. Major newspaper agencies, magazines, television stations, large cameras, tripods, small ones, some with DVs, but more were SLR cameras.

  Ten police officers also walked in from both doors, looking at the scene seriously and prohibiting any disturbance.

  Agents, investors' representatives, producers' representatives, separated on both sides of the main stage, but without name tags. They know that journalists are not interested in them. They just need to show their faces.

  The fourteen people on the main stage are today's protagonists.

  Lin Xiao looked at the reporters below, he even saw CCTV, BJTV, Hunan Satellite TV and other local stations' logos on the cameras. There were also many camera-hanging signs that read "XX Magazine", "XX Newspaper". It was a gathering of domestic entertainment magazines and television stations.

  After about ten minutes, the scene finally calmed down.

  "Thank you very much to everyone who came to our Kangxi Dynasty drama press conference. On behalf of the production side, investment side and our respective artists' companies, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your hard work." Chen Jialin began, as expected, being the one to start and end the proceedings.

  Next, Liu Da should execute the director and start explaining the script of the Kangxi Dynasty, as well as the changes and shooting style.

  "Ah, here we go again. I'm so sick of hearing this," a reporter said with great dissatisfaction.

  "Yes, let's get this over with!" The people beside him also nodded in agreement, they were looking forward to the free interview session afterwards.

  However, the cameras on both sides did not stop flashing for a moment. The people on stage were still smiling, and Lin Xiao already felt dizzy in his eyes, but he had to endure it with a smile.

  Liu Daoyang was also very clear about what the journalists wanted. After speaking for less than ten minutes, he announced that they were entering a free interview session.

  Reporters also have rules, and they won't just swarm in like sparrows as soon as they hear "free interview" and not be able to tell who's saying what. The general rule is that if someone has asked a question, as long as he's up front, then those behind him will have to wait.

  "Excuse me, Director Chen, there was a rumor that the crew had bullied new actors. A makeup artist named Liu Yiyi exposed the reason behind it. However, the Kangxi crew didn't respond to this incident. I think many journalists here want to know about this." A reporter stood up and asked first.

  Lin Xiao clearly saw that the reporters below suddenly began to whisper to each other, and the camera lenses, camera lenses, all turned over at once.

  As soon as Chen Jialin opened her mouth, it was immediately a flash of camera shutters!

  "Not bad!" The special correspondent of the contemporary film circle nodded and smiled. "Asking questions is also a test of a newspaper or magazine's strength, and time is limited. If you ask some unprofessional questions, the reputation of that newspaper or magazine will be poor in the industry."

  The person next to him smiled, "Yes, this guy is from 'Tomorrow's Star' magazine. He has some skills."

  Chen Jialin smiled slightly, but said something that almost made Lin Xiao spit blood.

  He immediately understood what Chen Jialin meant by giving him more shots of getting out of the situation.

  "To be specific, ask Lin Xiao, I'm afraid none of the thirteen people present understood it as clearly as he did. He was recording at that time."

  Oh man! Can't play with people like this, okay?! It's your turn now! Lin Xiao was secretly frustrated, but still had a smile on his face, because he saw all the cameras were already pointing at him.
