Chapter 304 Pulling in half the entertainment industry to promote movies (Ch 304)

“Sister Mi, could you please call on your friends in the industry to help promote our film on Weibo? Qi Jia and Ruonan, you too, can do the same. As long as we survive tomorrow’s premiere and netizens see the reputation of our film, this crisis will be over.”

After hearing what Chen Yuwen said, the three of them all nodded and started sending messages to contact people.

Qi Jia’s first call was directly to Shen Teng. After all, the two had not only collaborated several times, but Shen Teng was also Qi Jia’s mentor in the Beijing Film Academy training class, so they had a close relationship.

“Hey, Qi Jia, why did you think of calling me? Why do you want to come over for a drink?”

On the other end of the phone, besides Shen Teng’s voice, there was also loud music. I guess he was having fun with the crew.

“Brother Teng, if you want to drink, I’ll treat you next time. This time I’m looking for you because my new movie is about to be released. I want to ask you for a favor and promote it online.”

Qi Jia said something polite and then told him that he needed his help.

“That’s it. Don’t worry. I promise to arrange everything for you. I’m drinking with Yuan Hua and the others right now. I’ll ask them to help you promote it.”

Shen Teng agreed without hesitation, and even brought Yin Zheng along.

Qi Jia was so moved that he thanked Yin Zheng repeatedly on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jia searched WeChat for a while. He was looking for people he contacted frequently. As for those he contacted less frequently, such as Mr. Wang Jianbing, whom he met while filming “The Unknown”, he was too embarrassed to ask for help right away.

“Hey, Mr. He, I hope I’m not disturbing you. I have something I want to ask you for help…”

The second call he made was to He Jiong. The reason he chose him was not only because they had a good relationship, but also because he was well-known as a good guy in the circle.

He has a lot of experience and a wide network of contacts. As long as he posts something, others will follow suit and forward it for his sake, without Qi Jia having to say hello.

After listening to it, He Jiong agreed without hesitation.

“Don’t worry Qi Jia, it’s just a piece of cake. I’ll help you send it now.”

“Thank you, Mr. He, you really helped me a lot.”

“It’s nothing. We are all family. Come back to the Mushroom House often when you have time. My sister is always thinking about you.”

After talking with He Jiong, Qi Jia continued to make a few phone calls, including Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Zhang Yi, and others with whom he had a good relationship.

As for the old gentlemen, he thought it was so late and they were probably asleep, so he felt embarrassed to disturb them.

Just after hanging up the phone, Qi Jia was thinking about who to call next.

Suddenly, Huang Lei called.

As soon as the call was connected, before he had time to say hello, Huang Lei put a big hat on him.

“Qi Jia, do you have any problem with me?”

“Teacher Huang, you are really wronging me. When did I have any objection to you?” Qi Jia was stunned and quickly denied it.

“No problem, that means you look down on me, otherwise why did you call Teacher He and Huang Bo, but not me?”

As soon as Huang Lei said this, Qi Jia understood the reason for their relationship.

But since Huang Lei called me on his own initiative, he definitely wasn’t angry. All I had to do was not be mean and say the wrong thing.

“Teacher Huang, you really misunderstood. It’s not that I won’t give you the shot, but I just haven’t had time. Teacher Huang, you are so kindhearted. I’m worried that after I give you the shot, everyone will help me promote it out of your face, and you will owe me a favor. That would be so embarrassing.”

Qi Jia’s answer obviously made Huang Lei very happy. He laughed twice and said,

“You’re being too polite. We’re all family. Come back to the Mushroom House more often when you have time. I’ll cook some of my specialties for you to try.”

“Oh, I’m in for a treat. I’ll bring a bottle of good wine back and have a drink and chat with everyone. To be honest, I really miss the days in the Mushroom House…”

Qi Jia’s two words made Huang Lei very happy. He said that he had just learned a famous dish “Riding Crabs” and he would let Qi Jia taste it next time he came.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Boss Yang and Zhang Ruonan were staring at him curiously, he asked in confusion,

“Why are you looking at me if you don’t call me?”

“Miss Mi asked me if I was a WeChat businessman before and why I have so many friends on WeChat.”

Zhang Ruonan supported his head with one hand, tapped his head lightly with his slender fingers, yawned and said,

“You two are so idle.” Qi Jia rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Then he handed the phone to Zhang Ruonan and asked her to help him record a video to promote the movie.

After recording, post it on your social media.

…

The publicity from celebrities is still terrifying. The next morning, Weibo was full of updates from celebrities about the movie “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time”.

He Jiong: @Movie I’m waiting for you at the end of time, a fantasy love is about to strike! , from school uniform to wedding dress, from youth to gray hair, across time, just to meet you.

Zhou Ye: @Qi Jia, keep working hard, get your tissues ready, and join me in the cinema. #I’ll be waiting for you at the end of time to witness this unswerving love!

Huang Bo: #I’m Waiting for You at the End of Time# takes us into a heartbreaking and touching love journey. Let us go to the cinema together to feel this true love.

Huang Lei: #I’m Waiting for You at the End of Time# is officially released. This is a contest between love and fate.

Zhuang Dafei: @Qi Jia, keep working hard, #I’ll be waiting for you at the end of time# A love that transcends time, a mixture of sweetness and abuse, get your tissues ready, let’s go to the cinema to feel this ultimate pure love, see you on November 22nd!

Netizens who said they didn’t plan to watch the movie last night woke up in the morning to find that their favorite idols had posted a blog post.

It was still to promote Qi Jia’s movie, so for the sake of their idol, many netizens changed their minds and chose to buy tickets to see if it was really as good as their idol said.

At the same time,

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan also arrived at the roadshow for today’s premiere early and were making final preparations.

Just as Qi Jia asked his assistant to hold up his phone and help him and the crew record a video of the road show preparations, intending to post it online for promotion, the assistant suddenly said,

“Brother Qi, this is Teacher Li Xuejian calling.”

Why did the old man call at this time? Qi Jia was a little confused, thinking that he couldn’t be like Huang Lei, blaming him for not asking him for help?

Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, before he had time to say hello, he heard the old man angrily say,

“Qi Jia, do you look down on us old bones?”

Qi Jia understood in his heart, well, it seems that he really guessed it right.

“Teacher Li, what are you talking about? Last time you told me that you had trouble sleeping, and I didn’t call you because I was afraid of disturbing your rest.”

Qi Jia’s attitude was correct and his tone was sincere on the phone. Li Xuejian didn’t expect that he would actually remember it even though he just mentioned it casually.

For a moment, I felt that this young man was not only talented and polite, but also knew how to respect the elderly.

“Is that so? Forget it this time. Don’t be afraid of trouble next time. Baoguo and I will help you put a few words in the Film Association and let everyone help promote you.”

If the old man hadn’t mentioned it, Qi Jia would have forgotten that he was also the chairman of the Film Association. He was indebted to him for this favor, so he immediately expressed his gratitude.

After Li Xuejian asked a few more questions about the current situation of the movie, he hung up the phone.

Qi Jia handed the phone to the assistant and asked everyone to stand still and prepare to continue filming the video. But before it started, the assistant came over again.

“Brother Qi, this is Brother Cheng Long calling.”
