"Let's listen, Duke."
Charles Rowan still made a gesture of asking for advice. After all, Duke's suggestion is one thing, and it is another thing whether Warner will adopt it.
"Super Bowl midfield ad!" Duke said quickly, "Sending the video's 30-second short trailer into the Super Bowl midfield ad is the highest ratings in the United States, and the promotion effect..."
"That would be a huge publicity expense." Charles Rowan interrupted, "The advertising cost of 30 seconds is enough $1 million!"
"But more than 50 million people across the United States can see this trailer!" Duke continued.
The advertising time of the Super Bowl is not as simple as advertising. Since the mid-1980s, those manufacturers who want to enter will specially create an advertising short film for the Super Bowl, which will gather the best ideas, the most gorgeous pictures and the biggest star models. Even many viewers who are not interested in the Super Bowl themselves will switch over during the intermission to watch advertising blockbusters and midfield performances.
Therefore, the Super Bowl is also a very strange event, and the ratings of the halftime often exceed the game itself.
Of course, its advertising costs are not expensive. Duke has paid a little attention in his last few years. At that time, the advertisements per second had already been called for $100,000, and the advertisements for thirty seconds were not $3 million. It became the norm for major videos to advertise in it.
As Charles Rowan mentioned the Super Bowl, some of the memories that were gradually forgotten by time slowly returned to Duke's mind. If you remember correctly, in this era of low promotional and promotional expenses, there is no video to advertise in the Super Bowl. The first person to try it out seems to be "Independence Day". The global promotional and promotional expenses of this super blockbuster are only $24 million, and the future is simply unimaginable.
As for the promotional effect of the Super Bowl, "Independence Day" can also be used as a reference. It is the super sales of this film that makes Hollywood's addition to Super Bowl advertising a routine.
In North America, the Super Bowl has the ability to crush all games and TV shows. For example, the NBA Finals and the World Cup Finals are simply incomparable. Its influence is also huge. In terms of the economic value created alone, it can be regarded as the number one single game in the United States.
Duke knew this, and Rowan knew this.
However, this involves a large amount of publicity expenses, and the Super Bowl is close to us, neither of them has the right to decide. Rowan can only say that he will feedback Duke's suggestions to Warner. Whether to adopt them depends on Warner's decision.
The Super Bowl commercial is just the icing on the cake, not the decisive factor in the success of the film. "Break into the Deadly Island" is not the super vulgar collection of summer seasons like "Independence Day". Even if you make it to the Super Bowl, it will not be able to sweep the world like "Independence Day".
The key to the success or failure of the film is also the excellent production. Duke then threw the Super Bowl aside and continued the long post-production.
However, what Duke did not expect was that Charles Rowan brought good news a few days later. After Warner Bros.'s film reviewers watched the first sample of "Brave the Deadly Island", Warner Bros.'s senior executives decided to advertise in the Super Bowl.
The news came, which also boosted Duke's spirit of a bit sluggish due to heavy work. In just one day, he cut out a 30-second trailer. The most of them were of course the most popular scenes for summer audiences.
In addition, he specially put the bomb perspective into the trailer. This is not the bullet time that was born in the 1980s. There has never been such a movie shot in Hollywood and even the whole world.
The trailer cannot be just a picture without a soundtrack, so Hans Jimo, who is still busy creating, was called to Rock Studio by Duke.
Sitting in a chair, Duke's eyes left Hans Jimo when the vigorous orchestral music sounded, and focused on the playing song, allowing him to make the soundtrack by himself. That was something Duke could not do, but whether a song was suitable for a movie was still clear.
Overall, this song is very appropriate, but Duke's brows were always slightly frowning. The song was arguably different from the classic soundtrack of his previous life, and perhaps because of preconceived reasons, he always felt that it was half a level.
His eyes swept over Hans Jimo, who looked serious, and Duke suddenly understood that any star or director, soundtrack, etc., just like Naomi Watts and Zach Schneider now, there will always be a long-term accumulation process before it shines completely.
There is no doubt that Hans Jimo after "The Lion King" is a super master in the soundtrack, but now, he is at most a craftsman.
The song for a few minutes was played soon, and Hans Jimo looked at Duke and asked tentatively, "Don't be satisfied?"
"No." Duke shook his head, thought for a while before saying, "Hans, I hope the music is more vigorous and exciting."
Although he could understand some simplified scores, Duke could not compose music. He had tried to hum that soundtrack, but his attainment in music was too poor. The only listener, Sophia, said directly that what he hummed was noise. After Duke heard Sophia's humming specially recorded, he was sure it was noise.
Even Duke tried even whistling, but the effect was extremely unsatisfactory. Perhaps he could tell some rhythm from the whistle, but it does not mean that others could make his ideal song based on the whistle that ran away.
When Hans Jimo first arrived in the morning, Duke also let him listen to the recording of the whistle, and the other party shook his head directly.
Finding a composer and humming a piece of music can copy the song or soundtrack. That is simply unrealistic and is just a random thought.
There is no way, the soundtrack can only be done for the time being. Although it is different from the previous life, it is hard to say that it will not become a classic in the future. Moreover, Hans Jimo will make adjustments, which is not the final soundtrack version.
While discussing the soundtrack, Shania Donn also came to Rock Studio and brought the masterpiece of the theme song composed by Hans Jimo. Duke listened to it several times. Although it was incomparable to Shania Donn's peak works, it was enough for the film. In addition to adjusting some details, he basically agreed to the use of this song.
The thirty-second trailer short film, with Hans Jimo's soundtrack and a few songs by Shania Donn, Duke has completed the film's Super Bowl commercial, and the recent intense work can come to an end.
"You look more confident."
In the quiet restaurant, Duke looked at Shania Donn opposite her. Her temperament was completely different from Naomi Watts. Her high eyebrows and slightly scattered curly hair reflected a bit of wildness in the Canadian countryside. Her shiny eyes were full of confidence and firmness. Her tight-fitting and navel-exposed figure set off her sexy and enchanting figure.
"My first record has been made." Shania Donn only ate a little bit of food. "The company invited many radio DJs and music critics to listen to it, and their reviews were all good."
"I wish you a great deal on your record." Duke raised his glass to her.
"I wish you a big shot in the movie." Shania Donn replied.
"Shania, I think we have some similar qualities." Duke put down his wine glass, and Shania Don looked at him, "Do you use this kind of words to deceive women? Or do you want to pursue me?"
"I never like to deceive women." Duke was not embarrassed, "I just felt very accomplicated with you."
Shania Donn said nothing, but just tilted his head to look at Duke, and Duke looked at her, and the two of them collided in the air and laughed at the same time.
"A person like you can't imagine my life." Shania Tangen suddenly turned to another topic, "I vowed to get rid of poverty, vowed to make my younger brother and sister a member of the upper class, and vowed to be the top singer in the world."
She raised her eyebrows, "Where are you, Duke?"
"Director." Duke shrugged, "the best director."
"So, we will not stop moving forward."
This woman's experience is much more complicated than that of Naomi Watts. She has worked hard from the bottom of society to the present, and has also made her mind more rational. "I need someone who can help me enough in music."
Her words were very straightforward, "As far as I know, you are not such a person."
Hearing these words, Duke laughed, no matter what the rest, this was a more straightforward woman. He vaguely remembered that her first husband was a famous music producer who helped her to push her career to the top. When the media and the public compared her to Madonna and Maria Carey, she divorced and married a wealthy businessman.
After dinner, the two left the restaurant and got into the same car tacitly. Duke drove directly to a famous hotel nearby. Shania Donn just held his arm and never said anything until the two entered the suite and kissed each other fiercely.
This was the first intimate contact between the two, and it might be the only time. Both of them burst out with the greatest enthusiasm. Duke changed all kinds of tricks. Shania Donn, who had a strong and sexy body, was obviously more capable than Naomi Watts. As long as it was not too overbearing, everyone would basically refuse.
When Duke pressed her on the carpet, launched a wild sprint from behind, and slapped her perky buttocks hard, Shania Donne shouted almost excitedly, as if she was slightly suffering from abusive tendency.
"I like you like this, Duke Rosenberg!" She turned her head, her high voice full of excitement, "I really like you!"
Duke returned to the scene with a more violent impact.
The night dispelled the hustle and bustle of Burbank, and the streets ushered in a rare calm. Duke and Shania Donn were wrapped in a thick blanket and sat on the balcony facing the street, slowly savoring the red wine in their glasses.
"You are the perfect bed companion." Duke touched her wine glass.
"The same to you."
Shania Donn took a sip of red wine and came over to kiss him. After a while, she opened the distance and wiped off the red liquid lying down from the corner of her lips. "Next month I will leave Los Angeles and move to Nashville, where I will settle there, and if you pass by, you can call me."
"I wish you a dream come true as soon as possible."
