Ling Zhiling had a lot of work to do recently, but when she received Xu Yun's call and heard Xu Yun's request, she agreed without hesitation. She didn't even ask why Fan Bing suddenly "went on strike". She agreed so quickly because she didn't want to make Xu Yun anxious.
In fact, in this matter, Ling Zhiling had a certain advantage by stepping forward to help solve the problem. Her crew and Fan Bing's crew happened to be shooting in the same city. The theme of the two New Year's movies were both romantic dramas, but in different years. One was about the early days of the founding of the country, and the other was about the modern city.
Both movies were produced by Sky Entertainment. Originally, when they were released to the market, the publicity gimmick was Ling Zhiling VS Fan Bing. These two popular goddesses used different personalities to portray the great love between two female leads with completely different identities.
But now it seemed that the publicity gimmick could only be changed to Ling Zhiling's subversive challenge. Two completely different characters, one person doing the same thing at the same time. It was simply a difficult task.
When this matter was confirmed, the directors of the two movies separately expressed certain difficulties. Their worries were normal. It wasn't easy for an actor to integrate into one character, and it was hard to say whether or not it would affect the actor to integrate into two characters at the same time.
Of course, the challenge Ling Zhiling was facing was huge. She never thought that she would use this method to break through herself, because using this method to achieve the so-called self-breakthrough was simply too self-destructive. She was completely trying to help Xu Yun. She agreed immediately because she really didn't want to see Xu Yun in trouble.
For this matter, Xu Yun even traveled thousands of miles to the studio where the two movies were shot. First, he had to communicate with the two directors. After all, this matter happened too quickly. Everything happened without any warning, so the directors would definitely have some opinions.
These things were handed over to Xu Yun to deal with. As for the external contact, especially the advertising matters, it was handled by Ruan Qingshuang. From a luxury car brand, an electronic technology giant, to a small beverage company, a clothing company, they all needed to give a reasonable explanation and obtain their consent and approval.
These things had to be done on paper. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if these advertising implants turned around and made a false countercharge.
Zuo Mei Yan had long since predicted that some people would try to agree verbally without signing anything. Based on this, she had specially taught Ruan Qingshuang how to deal with this.
As long as any advertiser refused to sign the contract, they would show him the termination document. They would also tell him that Sky Entertainment could afford to pay any amount of money. They would also stop working with them and stop working with them in the future. As long as there was such a sentence, no advertising partner would not lower their heads.
After all, there were many things that required cooperation to achieve a win-win situation.
It was just like the "malicious competition advertisement" that many people saw a few years ago between two big cola companies.
One was a story that happened in front of a vending machine. The little boy's height was limited, and he couldn't press the Pepsi button. So, he bought two cans of Coca-Cola and stepped on them until he was tall enough to press the Pepsi button and buy a can of Pepsi.
The other story happened in front of a fridge. Because the little boy's height was limited, the Coca-Cola was placed on the top of the fridge. So, the little boy took two cans of Pepsi and stepped on them to get a can of Coca-Cola.
At first glance, it was indeed malicious competition. However, if a wise person thought about it, wasn't this a win-win situation? Both products left a deep impression on others. In all the countries in the world, it would be hard to find another cola company other than these two cola companies.
What? Laoshan cola? Oh my god, you're Koto Silver, aren't you? I'm really shocked.
Cooperation was a win-win situation. So, advertisers knew which movies they should insert, which ones they were willing to spend a lot of money on, and which ones weren't.
For movies that Sky Entertainment invested in, advertisers would definitely do their best to cooperate. This was because they knew that their movies would be more successful. Their productions would receive more recognition from the market. Only then would it be more meaningful for the brand.
Of course, Xu Yun didn't need to worry about these things. Other than communicating and discussing with the director and crew, Xu Yun came here to thank Ling Zhiling for helping him in his hour of need.
One had to know that no matter how good the communication was, if there wasn't a superstar actress who wasn't any less valuable than Fan Bing to replace the role, it would all be empty talk.
Xu Yun arranged a thank-you dinner for the two important people in charge of the crew. He said a lot of words of thanks and drank a lot of wine. He also invited Ling Zhiling. The main reason was to let the two parties communicate well about the filming and reduce Ling Zhiling's work pressure as much as possible.
If the two parties could arrange the filming period reasonably, Ling Zhiling would be able to reduce a lot of the filming pressure.
For this reason, Xu Yun had to drink a few more glasses with the two directors. Most of the time, alcohol was more useful than face. As long as everyone was happy, anything could be discussed!
After tossing and turning for half the night, Xu Yun could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The gratitude banquet was finally over. Xu Yun could finally take a breather and relax a little. After sending everyone away, Ling Zhiling stayed. She saw the tired look on Xu Yun's face and felt a little distressed.
"Sister Zhiling, I'm more grateful to them than I am to you." In the end, Xu Yun said from the bottom of his heart, "They have to agree to this even if they don't want to. After all, they don't dare to offend me. They won't increase their workload much. You're different … You're the one who's working hard. "
"How am I different? I don't dare to offend you. How can I not do what you ask me to do?" Ling Zhiling said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Don't. You agreed not because you don't dare to offend me, but because you sincerely want to share my burdens. If I can't understand this, I'll have lived my life in vain," Xu Yun said, "Forget it, I won't say anything more. I want to toast you again."
Ling Zhiling shook her head, annoyed and amused. "Drinking so much wine is not good for the body. Hurry up, I'll take you back to the hotel first. It's late, you should rest."
"I should be the one taking you back," Xu Yun said, "I've caused you so much trouble. I should take care of you."
"Aren't you sleepy?" Ling Zhiling pretended to be angry.
Xu Yun shook his head. "I'm not sleepy. I'm full of energy."
"Well, let's go back to the hotel. I'll treat you to coffee," Ling Zhiling said. "There are some things I want to ask you."
Xu Yun nodded. The two called a valet company to take them back to the hotel. When they arrived at the hotel cafe, Xu Yun said, "You want to ask about Fan Bing, right?"
Seeing that Xu Yun went straight to the point, Ling Zhiling did not hesitate. "Yes." After a pause, Ling Zhiling continued, "I've known Fan Bing for many years. We've always been competing with each other and improving together. So, I know her very well. She's not the kind of person who suddenly gives up and does nothing. What happened to her? "
"Something did happen," Xu Yun said. "But, before I figure out what happened, I can't tell you. Sister Zhiling, you'll have to work harder. I thank you again on behalf of Sky Entertainment. "
Ling Zhiling saw that Xu Yun did not want to say anything, so she did not ask anymore. She just shook her head helplessly. "Fine. Since you said that, I won't ask anymore. But, judging from your mood, I don't think anything happened to her. As long as she's fine, it's fine. "
Xu Yun smiled slightly. This kind of concern was quite sincere. In fact, sometimes, competition could also lead to friendship. Ling Zhiling and Fan Bing more or less felt like they were friends.
"Forget it. I'm not going to drink it. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I drink it." Ling Zhiling put the coffee down.
