Chapter 268 It’s definitely not excessive to call him godfather!

"The Lunar New Year movie is coming with hilarious moments!"

"Bai Youlou and Long Ziqiang team up again, this time for pure comedy!"

"A new road comedy"

"."

"Lost in Thailand" has been scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday and has officially started promotion.

Xiao Wu was still very nervous, especially since Bai Youlou was hiding in the crew enjoying his life and was too lazy to come out for publicity.

"Brother Lou, what's going on?" Xiao Wu complained to Lao Zhou, "This is the company's own movie."

If you are not proactive in making money, there is something wrong with your thinking!

"Are you stupid? Didn't you realize what Brother Lou meant?" Old Zhou said in a mysterious tone.

Xiao Wu was even more confused, "What's the meaning?"

"The film promotion has begun, and the online materials have been released. You have also been following some of the recent discussions about the film, right?"

Xiao Wu nodded when he heard this. Thanks to Bai Youlou and Long Ziqiang, "Lost in Thailand" has received a lot of attention.

After all, these two are the two leading actors who just achieved a box office miracle of over 5 billion. Even if we remove the halo of Bai Youlou's identity as a director, the film they collaborated on again is bound to attract extremely high attention.

It's only been a short time since "Dying to Survive" was released, and there are still many people discussing this movie online. It's true that the aftereffects are extremely strong.

"You misunderstood. What I meant was, did you notice how those people on the Internet described "Lost in Thailand"?"

"How to describe it?" Xiao Wu frowned slightly, seeming to understand a little.

Regardless of whether it is a discussion among self-media or netizens, the prefix for the description of "Lost in Thailand" is basically "a new work by Bai Youlou."

As a result, there have been a lot of discussions about this movie, but not many people know or understand Takeki Gun.

Under Bai Youlou's light, Xiao Wu's figure was extremely small and was completely obscured!
Xiao Wu, who was originally only worried that the box office of the movie would not meet his expectations, only wanted to take advantage of all possible conditions for promotion, such as the biggest condition, Bai Youlou.

But after Lao Zhou’s reminder, Wu Muqun understood!

"Brother Lou is such a nice guy!"

He pursed his lips, his eyes were red and almost filled with tears.

If Bai Youlou was standing in front of him now, he would have said something like: I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your adoptive father.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, there's really nothing wrong with it if you think about it carefully.

In the early stages, he was given manpower and investment, and everything that could be arranged was arranged. All Wu Mu Gun had to do was to use his directing skills.

With such initial treatment, any new director with no background would probably have to kowtow a few times.

It’s definitely not excessive to call him godfather!

And Bai Youlou is even on a higher level.

He also thought about Takeki Gun's position and knew that if he was too prominent, then even if the movie was successful, Takeki Gun himself would get much less.

Therefore, Bai Youlou would rather sacrifice some possible benefits and let Wu Muqun stand in the front more often and push him up.

The above content all comes from Wu Muqun’s own imagination.

But he felt that this was the truth.

It can't be that Bai Youlou is enjoying being the drama tyrant in the crew of "Better Days", and his life is so sensual and colorful, with beautiful women accompanying him when he travels, and he doesn't want to come out because he is having so much fun~
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"I will definitely not let Brother Lou down!"

"Good boy, I'm rooting for you!" Lao Zhou patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Damn, pay more! You must pay more!

The workload for him as Bai Youlou's butler is really too heavy.

Not only do I have to handle various external liaison tasks, but I also have to help him calm people's hearts.

Looking at Xiao Wu’s excited look, he almost wants to shout “Lord”, which shows that Lao Zhou’s work is still very good.

"By the way, didn't Brother Lou give you an idea? Let's do a preview first."

"Yeah!" Xiao Wu clenched his fists. A box office of 500 million, and he only wants 500 million!
With this number, he will have completely established himself and will be able to help Bai Youlou charge into battle in the future. He might even become the company's second director.

However, since Brother Lou is so good to him, he can't be shabby!

Looking at the designed movie poster, Xiao Wu immediately discovered something not so good about it.

Send back for modification!

The advertising company that took on the design task was confused. Didn’t they say yesterday that the poster was very well done? Why did they want to change it again today?

Xiao Wu's reason was quite valid: "It's not a big problem, it's just that the font needs to be slightly changed."

"Font?"

"name!"

"Director Wu, your name is already quite obvious," Party B said cautiously.

"Make my name smaller, enlarge the producer's name, and make it gold! The more obvious and prominent the better!"

In the producer column, Bai Youlou's name was clearly written.

When Long Ziqiang, who was accompanying Xiao Wu on publicity activities, heard this, he nodded silently and cursed in his heart.

Damn, you really can lick!

The future achievements are limitless!

It really widens the road~
Long Ziqiang also realized it, and he said that Xiao Wu seemed a little "uninterested in women".

Now that the two are together, it's not that Xiao Wu is not interested in women, it's mainly because he is sensible.

No wonder when Zhao Su was doing promotional work with them, she asked Xiao Wu if he wanted to have some drinks with some friends but was rejected.

It seems that it is because Zhao Su said, "I also invited Director Bai to join the party, but he is busy recently."

If Brother Lou doesn't play, how can he play first?
Bai Youlou: "A-choo!"

He sneezed for no apparent reason, but he didn't think much of it.

She adjusted the black stockings tied around her eyes and fumbled around with her hands, "Where are you hiding? Don't let me catch you, or you'll be in big trouble~"

While speaking, he also let out a few weird "hehehe" laughs, which was so authentic.

It turns out that Xiao Wu still has a lot to learn about being a director.

For example, this guy still has no idea how happy the director is.

This is also what Bai Youlou is really good at, but it cannot be taught.

Some people are born with the ability to understand, while others can never learn it no matter how hard they try.

The word "absurd" contains a lot of knowledge.

"Oh, I was caught~"

Pulling off the black silk covering his eyes, Bai Youlou clapped his hands as he looked at Nana who was deliberately caught in his arms.
There was a snap, the sound was particularly solid.

Oh, not bad~
It seems that I have been exercising my buttocks well during this period!
Life on the set of "Better Days" is indeed very fulfilling.

Busy filming during the day and busy training actors at night.

Of course, the workload is not very large. After all, Bai Youlou is mainly responsible for the "guidance" work, and the specific implementation is done by the assistant director.

It was really easy to use the many experienced assistant directors that Liu Manli found.

Generally speaking, no matter what Bai Youlou wants to do, he can just briefly tell these people and they will understand without having to emphasize it or teach him again.

However, compared to Bai Youlou's "busyness", Liu Manli became the "most idle" person in the entire crew.

But she seems to be quite busy, running around in and out of the crew every day, but I don't know what she is busy with.

Occasionally, I would help Bai Youlou convey the shooting tasks, and my main job was to shout "cut" during shooting.

Whether it passes or not is often up to Bai Youlou to decide. Of course, Bai Youlou only provides "guidance" opinions, and every time he would say, "Director Liu, what do you think?"

Then Liu Manli would smile silly and nod.

Don’t tell me, don’t tell me! Director Liu Manli and actress Liu Manli seem like two completely different people.

Liu Manli, who became a director, even gave Bai Youlou a feeling of An Luning.

How silly!

The elder sister is so cute.

When "Lost in Thailand" was being screened on a small scale, Bai Youlou did not continue to stay in the crew of "Better Days".

However, he did not go to the preview to show his support, but instead took a flight directly to Tokyo.

The Tokyo Film Festival is also one of the 14 international A-level film festivals, but its international influence is certainly not as great as the three most famous ones.

But it is quite powerful in Asia.

However, Bai Youlou has not registered any works for the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival, and the Golden Kylin Award has nothing to do with him.

He came here because there is something called the Golden Crane Award, which was just established and aims to further promote and develop exchanges and cooperation in the film culture and film industry between China and Japan.

During the international film festivals held in the two countries, the "Golden Crane Award" is presented to outstanding film works and related directors, actors and actresses with outstanding contributions.

Yes, Bai Youlou is the relevant person who has made “outstanding contributions”.

The value of this award is currently unknown.

What value can something that has just been produced, and is only used as a foil for the Golden Kylin Award, have?

Xiao Rizi really wanted Bai Youlou to participate in the main unit competition, but the movie "Dying to Survive" had already participated in an international A-class film festival.

Of course, it’s not one of the three major European film festivals, nor is it the Shanghai Film Festival in China, but the Montreal Film Festival of the University of California, Berkeley.

It didn’t win any big awards, but it just got a trophy for Best Screenplay.

Bai Youlou himself didn't even go, Lao Zhou ran over and took the trophy.

He actually didn't really want to come to Tokyo.

The main reason is that the time was too short. At most, I got to know a few Sakura girls superficially, but couldn't have an in-depth communication with them.

What's the point of this?

Shibuya Roppongi.

The Tokyo International Film Festival closing ceremony red carpet, stars from Japan and overseas walked on the red carpet.

Although the Tokyo Film Festival itself is a bit useless internationally, it still has a good influence locally.

Almost all the Japanese celebrities, big and small, who could come to show their support came, even to the closing ceremony.

Most of the overseas celebrities only walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony.

So the red carpet, which is a "battlefield" like a battleground, now seems to be packed with all kinds of Japanese little stars.

Not all of these people can get in to attend the award ceremony. Most of them just go in and don't go in.

Bai Youlou is not very interested in the "chaos" on the red carpet, even though many Japanese stars use exaggerated makeup with local characteristics.

On the contrary, he felt that the fans who were cheering here were indeed very professional and very spirited.

We even saw quite a few fans wearing headbands with the words “must win” written on them.

Huh? He actually knows Japanese~
Without being overly impressed by his "language talent", Bai Youlou still felt that Japan was a bit strange, mainly because it was the first time he saw so many men gathered together to cheer.

The kind that looks organized at first glance.

A otaku who is chasing stars in his daily life?

Although it was not shortlisted for the main competition, the Tokyo Film Festival still gave Bai Youlou enough face.

Clearance.

The moment his car stopped in front of the red carpet, security had already started to drive people away.

Many Japanese girls who shouted "Yamedie" were forced to jump up and down by the muscular men in suits at the scene.

The key point is that some of them did not forget to pose for the media cameras while being chased away, just like they were guerrilla fighters.

It’s bad. Have these little guys learned the essence of life?

Bai Youlou was bored as he thought about all these random things. When the car door opened, the flashing lights in front of him still failed to shake his eyelids, even though he was distracted.

He is Mr. Bai, and he is quite a big shot in the international arena.

Almost all of his movies have been shown in Neon, so the moment he got off the car, he was hit by a crazy "noise".

The Sakura girl's madness almost made the man, who was not shaken by the flash, tremble.

Come back! Are you so crazy?

Fortunately, Bai Youlou was not a good person. After quickly adapting himself, he waved his hand with a slight smile, then looked at the empty red carpet and started doing business.

Whether the people walking on the red carpet are big names or not, the focus is not the audience who are just there to join in the fun; the reactions of the media who are running around with their cameras are what counts as a reference.

This group of people are eager to stuff the "cannon" into Bai Youlou's mouth!
Isn't this his favorite thing to do?

As expected, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.

Fortunately, Bai Youlou has no manners and low morals. After reflecting for less than two seconds, he felt that there was nothing to reflect on.

At this moment, the host on the scene kept beeping in a high-pitched voice, and the emphasis was very much like that of a queen.

Unfortunately, Bai Youlou didn't understand a single word. His knowledge of Japanese was mainly limited to a few small words, and it was not easy for him to hear them in this situation.

Probably introducing him.

Anyway, after the female host who spoke with a lady-like tone finished speaking, the scene became a little more lively.

There was even a Japanese girl wearing JK clothes who broke through the security and ran up to Bai Youlou to ask for an autograph.

Of course she didn't succeed. She fell on her back before she could even stand firmly, and was then carried away by security.

Upside down?

To be honest, Bai Youlou felt like he had seen this posture somewhere before.

ah! right!
When Yamagami-kun opened fire, it seemed that a JK also fell down like this.

I don’t know if there is a great man like Yamagami-kun here. If there is, Bai Youlou must support him and donate some money.

After the incident of JK falling, Bai Youlou used it as an excuse to quickly walk across the red carpet and enter the venue.

The media at the scene were left there lamenting that they had not filmed any footage.

But it seems that Bai Youlou cannot be blamed, and no one can say that he is impolite.

Who let them have JK offended here~
The Japanese didn’t know that Bai Youlou liked this kind of offense the most. Anyway, not long after this incident spread, the Internet in their country began to "reflect".

Asia is very good at reflection, and the Internet is full of reflection monsters.

Baka! Who was so rude to bump into Youlou-kun?

I don’t know if the Japanese are really so good at “apologizing”, but on the night he won the Golden Crane Award, Bai Youlou experienced a wave of special apologies from Japanese girls.

Originally, he thought that he came and left in a hurry, and there would probably not be much story after just staying for one night.

But he still overlooked the local characteristics.

Neon is the place with the highest cheating rate in Asia!

It may not be easy for Sakura girl, but as for Sakura sister-in-law... ahem.

That night, Mr. Bai had a pleasant chat with a well-known Japanese film queen.
