Chapter 77 Think of a way to hype it up
Ji Qingxu didn't care that he didn't get a role in "Chinese Paladin". He went back to Beijing to rest for a few days and then the new semester started at the Beijing Film Academy.
The students were surprised to see Ji Qingxu in the classroom.
"Qingxu, awesome, you actually made it to the Spring Festival Gala stage."
"Haha, luck, luck!"
"Brother Qingxu, give me a hand!"
"No problem, I'll take you for a run at five o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Qingxu..."
When the homeroom teacher, Wang Chunzhi, arrived at the classroom, the students who had gathered around Ji Qingxu returned to their seats.
"Brother Chicken, we have a pair of outstanding talents in our class."
"Old pig, you're asking for a beating, aren't you?"
"Hey Chicken Bro, look closely, isn't there someone from our class who hasn't arrived yet?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu glanced around. "Several people didn't come. Which one are you talking about?"
Zhu Yawen whispered, "Liu Yifei, have you seen Liu Yifei yet?"
Ji Qingxu blinked. It was already the second semester of her sophomore year, and Ji Qingxu had never actually seen Liu Yifei before, though it wasn't that she hadn't attended any classes at the school.
According to Zhu Yawen and others, Liu Yifei stayed at school for several months during the second semester of her freshman year, but at that time Ji Qingxu was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". During the first semester of her sophomore year, Liu Yifei also stayed at school for one or two months, while Ji Qingxu was filming "Beijing, My Love". After Ji Qingxu returned to school, she went to film a movie.
To date, the two have never met.
Since being admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, the two have been filming one movie after another, and have been jokingly referred to by some as the "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks" of the Beijing Film Academy.
"Brother Chicken, you..."
"Zhu Yawen, why don't you come up on stage and speak?"
Seeing her homeroom teacher, Wang Chunzhi, looking at her with a teasing expression, Zhu Yawen chuckled. "Teacher, I'm asking Qingxu what it's like to be on the Spring Festival Gala. I'd like to take a look."
Upon hearing this, all the students in the class turned their attention to Ji Qingxu.
Ji Qingxu smiled, revealing a set of white teeth. "I was too nervous to participate for the first time. I'll give a speech next time I have the chance to participate."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
Wang Chunzhi smiled and said, "Alright, if you have any questions, ask them privately. Keep up the good work, film more movies, and you'll have a chance to be on the Spring Festival Gala someday. Now, let's continue. This year is already..."
After saying that, Wang Chunzhi gestured to Ji Qingxu and said, "Qingxu, come with me for a moment."
"it is good."
Seeing Wang Chunzhi walk outside, Ji Qingxu got up, left his seat, and followed him.
......
After leaving the teaching building, Wang Chunzhi jokingly asked with a smile, "Should I ask for leave again this semester?"
Ji Qingxu chuckled. "Not for now."
"Okay, then just focus on your studies at school. If you need to take leave, just let me know."
"Thank you, teacher."
Wang Chunzhi smiled and glanced at Ji Qingxu as they walked, saying, "I was worried that you were taking too many leave of absence and it would affect your studies. But now that you've been on the Spring Festival Gala stage, your development is on a completely different level from your classmates. But Qingxu, acting skills are something that stays with you for life. Other things, like fame, may fade away, but acting skills are either there or they aren't. No matter how busy you are, don't neglect your studies. It's related to your lifelong development."
Upon hearing Wang Chunzhi's reminder, Ji Qingxu replied earnestly, "I've remembered what the teacher said, and I will definitely not forget to study."
"Yes, I believe you. I've also watched 'Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties,' and Luo Cheng was portrayed very well. Your drama 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' in which you play the male lead, should be airing soon, right?"
"Yes, it will premiere on Southern TV on March 8th. We can't watch it here yet; we may have to wait a while."
"Okay, let me know when we can see it. I'll take a look. If your acting hasn't improved, I won't approve your leave request."
Upon hearing Wang Chunzhi's last joke, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Thanks for helping to boost the ratings, teacher."
Wang Chunzhi looked at Ji Qingxu with amusement upon hearing this, "Alright, you can go back now, it's nothing."
"it is good."
......
Back in the dorm, Zhu Yawen and the other two asked curiously, "Brother Chicken, what did the homeroom teacher want to talk to you about? Did he criticize you?"
"I've been on the Spring Festival Gala."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing this answer, the three exchanged glances, speechless, and returned to their seats. Seeing this, Ji Qingxu burst into laughter.
"Damn, Chicken Bro, you're treating us to a big meal tonight."
"No problem, what would you like to eat?"
"How about we go to the school gate for hot pot? Let's have a few more meals while the weather is still warm, otherwise it won't be as fun when it gets hot."
"Mule, Old Lu?"
"I'm fine with either."
"no problem."
"Okay, let's go have hot pot later. I'll read for a while first, call me later."
"it is good."
Ji Qingxu picked up a book called "Audiovisual Language" from his desk and started reading, but his attention wandered as he read.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" aired on Southern TV on March 8th. It's a local station, and although it wasn't broadcast on satellite TV, that's normal in today's TV drama market.
Nowadays, unless a TV series is filmed on a special channel, most TV dramas are first broadcast on local channels to see how the ratings and influence are before considering whether they can be broadcast on satellite TV. Even Chen Kaige's "Lu Bu and Diao Chan," which cost 3000 million yuan, was broadcast on local channels first.
Whether or not a TV series can be broadcast on satellite depends on the approval of the State Administration of Radio and Television, but the fact that there is so little publicity for the TV series, which puzzled Ji Qingxu, made her very confused.
The same thing happened before "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" aired; apart from a few newspaper interviews, there was not much publicity.
Ji Qingxu just couldn't understand why film and television companies and producers were so confident that they would spend tens of millions to film a TV series and then broadcast it directly on TV.
Or are these people in the film and television industry already engaging in money laundering?
Putting aside those malicious speculations, it must be said that Zhang Jizong's ability to achieve such great fame is truly remarkable. Besides the popularity of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Zhang Jizong is also a master of self-promotion.
Nowadays, most films and television dramas, apart from holding a press conference before filming begins, basically don't have any promotional activities until they are released.
Zhang Jizong is different. Before the TV series he led even started filming, it was already generating a lot of buzz. There was a series of hype before filming, during filming, after filming wrapped, and before the broadcast. In comparison, while other production teams and film and television companies were still using 2G networks, Zhang Jizong had already started using 5G.
Ji Qingxu felt somewhat helpless about this situation. Even though he was now Ciwen's "number one" actor, he was still just an actor, and not a very famous one at that. When it came to projects involving tens of millions of dollars, Ji Qingxu had no right to interfere with the company's arrangements.
Although Ji Qingxu had mentioned it briefly when he chatted with Ma Zhongjun before, seeing the company's current inaction, Ji Qingxu didn't know whether Ma Zhongjun hadn't listened or the company simply didn't care.
However, Ji Qingxu was not one to sit idly by. Since the company was inactive, he would take matters into his own hands. After thinking about it for a while, Ji Qingxu realized that the only suitable opportunity for him to create hype was a scandal. He couldn't very well go and get into a fight; that would be a scandal, not a rumor.
However, the plan to create a scandal encountered a setback right from the start. Ji Qingxu originally planned to drag Fan Xiaopang into the publicity stunt, as this woman was a master at creating hype. Unfortunately, Fan Xiaopang was too busy this year, with one film after another, and had no time to return to Beijing.
This also frustrated Ji Qingxu. She didn't recognize any of the famous actresses, and it was useless to hype up the less famous ones.
......
"Ring ring!"
Hearing the phone ring, Ji Qingxu snapped out of her reverie, picked up her phone, and raised an eyebrow as she walked onto the balcony after seeing the number displayed. What did Li Milu want from her?
"Hey, Sister Lu... Hehe, you're really well-informed. I'm at school... Now? Are you at our school?"
Ji Qingxu glanced around downstairs and, seeing nothing unusual, replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Qingxu went into the dormitory. "My children, I have an appointment tonight. Let's get together another day."
"Damn, you stood me up again. Chicken Bro, you're treating next time."
"Haha, no problem, I'll treat you next time. Let's go to Donglaishun for dinner."
After saying that, Ji Qingxu put on his clothes and left the dormitory.
