"Have you ever thought about it?"

After the meeting with Haiyan, Kong Shuang suddenly said to Luo Xun: "Although you are back now, as an actor you have not had a new work for more than two years, and even the drama "Nirvana in Fire" has not been released from preparation to filming. It went very smoothly. It will be at least half a year before the show is completed and officially aired. That also means that your vacuum period will be as long as three years..."

"Three years?"

Luo Xun shook his head: "That's not the case. Do you remember that I told you last year that I invested in a movie. This movie will be released soon, and I have a role in it."

"You starred in it?"

Kong Shuang remembered that Luo Xun mentioned this matter, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she advised Luo Xun to be cautious, because 90% of film investments are losses, and there are very few profitable films. She didn't expect the result. Luo Xun not only participated in the investment, but also acted in it himself.

"It's hard to refuse hospitality."

Luo Xun seemed to remember the crazy experience during that period, and said with some fear: "The role of that role was actually not that small. I was not busy acting in a drama at the time. I only had three days of vacation in total, but the director forced me to shoot three For three days and nights, I went through various scenes over and over again. I only slept for a few hours during the process, which was probably the period of time when I slept the least in my life.”

"Movie investment is expensive."

Kong Shuang said: "The little money you have is probably not enough. Is it a joint investment in a movie with other people? Is the joint venturer Xia Yu, or is it some wealthy person you met in Renyi?"

"I am sole proprietor."

Luo Xun straightened his back.

Kong Shuang estimated Luo Xun's wealth and said with a skeptical look on his face: "If you add up all your money, it's probably only enough to invest in a small-budget movie..."

"It's a small cost."

Luo Xun thought for a while: "I invested three million."

Kong Shuang raised his eyebrows: "So you actually want to use a movie with a three million investment as a comeback. Come on, the movie you started with is a phenomenal masterpiece like Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu"! And I guess you are still playing a Small supporting role!”

Definitely a supporting role.

A scene that can be filmed in three days, no matter how much Po Tian is said to be, cannot be the protagonist. A larger supporting role will have to be filmed for several hours, Kong Shuang thought helplessly, and couldn't bear to offend Luo Xun:

"Maybe it's a matter of whether it can be shown in theaters."

"A theater chain is already arranging it. The film schedule is a bit short, but it is better than nothing. I will also cooperate with the promotion on Weibo in the past few days. You can help me promote it more on the post bar..." Luo Xun said.

"What's it called?"

Kong Shuang was very interested.

Luo Xun smiled, and something strange flashed across his face: ""Crazy Stone"."

"Crazy Stone?"

Kong Shuang nodded, remembered the name of the movie, and then asked: "Who are the actors? Are there any familiar ones, or are they new ones?"

If you invest three million...

The actor is definitely not a big name. Luo Xun, a relatively newbie in the film industry, might already be the most popular one in the film industry, right?

Kong Shuang thought so.

"Not a bad actor."

Luo Xun recalled his family treasures: "Guo Tao, Xu Zheng, Liu Ye...the newcomers Huang Bo are also very good. In short, they are all actors with good popularity among the audience, including me of course."

Kong Shuang rolled his eyes.

These actors all have a certain degree of popularity, especially Xu Zheng, who has been popular for a while with "Li Wei is an Official", but it is unrealistic for them to compete with the movie box office. Fortunately, this is much better than all newcomers. At least there is still some hope.

Compared to Kong Shuang.

Luo Xun was looking forward to it.

The initial investment of 5 million in "Bright Sword" finally gave him a huge return. This gave Luo Xun a taste of the sweetness. He turned around and invested in another movie and a TV series, throwing all his money into it.

That movie is "Crazy Stone".

At that time, Ning Hao was looking for investment all over the world with the script. If Luo Xun hadn't used his foresight to find Ning Hao before Andy Lau, I'm afraid this movie would have been funded by Andy Lau like in his previous life.

As a result, Luo Xun became the biggest financial sponsor of "Crazy Stone", and the role he played in the movie was the killer played by Lian Jin in the original version.

In his previous life, Lian Jin starred in "Crazy Stone" because he was an artist of Andy Lau's company. Now that Andy Lau is no longer an investor, Lian Jin will naturally not star in this movie.

When the crew was looking for a killer actor, Luo Xun happened to visit the cast, so he had the experience of filming all the killer scenes in three days. At the same time, Ning Hao also marked Luo Xun as crazy.

recent.

Ning Hao contacted Luo Xun and told him that "Crazy Stone" was about to be released. Luo Xun thought that although his role in it was not big, his role was not small. As a comeback, there was no problem. After all, Luo Xun was in the movie. I'm still new to the field, and there aren't many experts.

The most important thing is.

After being away for too long, Luo Xun needs a certain degree of exposure. Since "Crazy Stone" can counterattack magnificently in his previous life, it is still very powerful as Luo Xun's return work.

"I don't know much about movies."

Kong Shuangdao: "But I clearly understand how important movie promotion is. In addition to Tieba and Weibo, you should let more people besides your fans know about this movie."

"Of course I know, but I don't have the channel."

Publicity is so important for a movie, but Luo Xun didn't have many publicity resources, so he thought that since "Crazy Stone" could counterattack without any publicity in his previous life, it wouldn't be a big problem in this life.

"Who said you don't have channels?"

Kong Shuang glanced at Luo Xun: "If I remember correctly, you have a good relationship with Hunan Satellite TV's Happy Family, especially the host He Jiong. He has a lot of say in "Happy Camp" now, and this variety show has been constantly revised in recent years and is becoming more and more popular with the public..."

"Happy Family?"

Luo Xun's eyes lit up: "Do you mean that I took the "Crazy Stone" crew to the last issue of "Happy Camp" to promote it?"

Indeed.

The current "Happy Camp" is more popular than when Luo Xun participated in it. Hunan Satellite TV keeps pace with the times, and its ratings are constantly rising. It has the momentum to compete with CCTV.

I just don't know if He Jiong will help me with this?

Luo Xun frowned and felt that there was little hope. First, "Crazy Stone" lacked gimmicks. Compared with the level of guests invited by "Happy Camp" in the past, its status was a bit lower. Second, his relationship with He Jiong had been in contact with him for two years since he performed in a drama...

Anyway,

Luo Xun still called He Jiong.

He had to give it a try. If it succeeded, with Happy Camp as a promotional platform, the box office of Crazy Stone might be higher than in the previous life.
