0290 [zoom-in is coming]
"Hello, the audience in front of the TV, you are still watching the movie channel. "I Want to Watch Movies" hosted by me, Little Ant, this year's New Year's holiday is filled with smoke. The co-production blockbuster "Mo Attack" starring Aaron Kwok, Li Bingbing, Wu Qilong and Wang Zhiwen, and "Yunshui Ballad" starring Lu Yi, Vivian Hsu and Li Bingbing have begun to be released in full swing."
On the Jiangdong Taiwan Film Channel, the host Xiao Ant, with a pair of big white legs exposed, is very sexy in appearance, and is vigorously introducing many movies.
"And this New Year holiday, we are destined to be good movies. In addition to "Mo Gong" and "Yunshui Yao", the science fiction movie "Never End" directed by our Jiangdong international director Wan Xiaohu. This movie has held many premieres and has received very good responses. After "Never End", on December 14, Zhang Yimou's blockbuster "The Golden Armor in the City" will also be released. Let's take a look at the specific content..."
As Wan Xiaohu's home court, the promotion of "Never End" in mainland China is overwhelming.
There are various soft and hard promotional advertisements on newspapers, websites, TV, theater posters, and street billboards.
The large square screens of big cities are also occupied by promotional videos.
"When filming "Never End", the director will strictly require the actors to play the characters in the movie in the best state. You must meet his requirements, otherwise the consequences will be terrible." Zhang Ziyi said with the microphone.
This is a street propaganda in a city in China.
"What are the terrible consequences?" the host of the live host.
"I am a girl, and the director is quite caring. Andy Lau's words would be more realistic."
The picture was given to Liu Dehua, and he only heard him say: "When I was shooting this movie, it was like a world of ice and fire. The atmosphere was very good in private. Xiaohu and I often had midnight snacks and beer together, but once we were working, it was like going to hell. To put it bluntly, I have not been as difficult as this movie in the past few years. Being scolded is common. I often worked overtime, and then I wouldn't give it to me if I couldn't do it well."
"Is it really that scary? Director Wan is so strict?"
"I think this is why Xiaohu can become a world-class director. He is meticulous when making movies. You must do it according to his requirements. If there is no such thing as it is okay, it is okay. You can pass this standard by sloppy."
"Will you be upset or afraid when he scolds you?"
Liu Dehua said: "This is not possible. We are good friends in private. If you contact him too much, you will know that his scolding is venting his work pressure. As long as you stay silent at this time, everything will be calm in a few minutes."
Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "When Director Wan curses, he always sits on a chair. He points at you and scolds you, and is a distance away. Like Andy Lau said, there is nothing after he scolds you. So he is not afraid at all, but he is a little unhappy. Because the director will only curse you and never praise you. He will not say, oh, you act very well or something."
Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi kept revealing Wan Xiaohu's legacy on the big screen. Of course, they both revealed their legacy within the safety range, which is a need for publicity.
Provide some content that makes people ambiguous.
Then the media can hype it up and fabricate a horrifying title.
"Zhang Ziyi is dissatisfied with Wan Xiaohu and calls him a tyrant on the set."
"Liu Dehua admitted that he was scolded by Wan Xiaohu, and his friendship may end because of "Never Endlessness".
When the audience who don’t know the truth watches, they will find that the title has intercepted some clips, and the real content is still a very united crew. While despising the media’s invincible mouths, they also leave an impression of the movie, achieving the purpose of publicity, not seeking to be more attractive, but only seeking to leave an impression.
It would be fine if you don’t go to the movies. When these audiences enter the cinema, they will, driven by instinct, choose movies that have impressions.
In short, Chinese movie fans have already sharpened their knives and are ready to rush into the cinema.
Due to the time zone, North America was half a day earlier than China. On December 1, "Never End" 2,540 theaters in North America were released. The expectation given by box office experts was the first three-day opening score of US$15 million. In recent years, low-cost science fiction movies have not performed well, so naturally they do not expect much.
After queuing for a whole morning, Tom finally got his money to buy the movie tickets as he wished.
After buying popcorn excitedly, I rushed into the cinema and grabbed a good seat in the middle. Cinemas in North America do not sell tickets by seat, and good seats are first come first served.
As the first audience, they are basically the number one Wan Xiaohu fans. Wan Xiaohu has made a fortune in recent years. It has a lot of reputation and has a group of cult movie fans. Some like it because of "Saw", some like it because of "Wanted Warrant", and some like it because of "Source Code" and "Butterfly Effect".
This kind of cult movie fans may be just a few of the mainstream audiences, but their explosive power is amazing. They can always go crazy for a movie. It is something every director hopes for having a group of cult movie fans, because this is the guarantee of box office and peripheral products.
As a lonely man without friends, Tom was silently eating popcorn while listening to the communication between people around him.
"Oh, John posted a message on Twitter."
"What did you say?"
"This bitch, he went to watch the premiere midnight show last night! He was so sad! "The Never End" is so good. Fortunately, I decided to watch the midnight show. Otherwise, it would be a shame if such a good movie was not to watch it as soon as possible!' This guy is cursing us in different ways!"
"I'll wipe it. Now I'll be despised by this kid when I go back. I wanted to sleep last night, but I didn't agree to go to the movie with him. No, I have to watch the movie later. If it's not that good, we can get some things back when we go back."
"I'm afraid it's really good. More than one person on Twitter has posted messages about "Never End" and is praising them. There are also many posts on FaceBook, recommending this movie. We really missed it. The best time, oh my god, I'm competing with John for the Secretary-General of the 'cult Brotherhood'. Now there's no advantage. John, this bitch, started to recommend it to the members, and he got a lot of impression points!"
"Don't be discouraged. Let's watch the movie carefully and write a better film review. Members will appreciate the Secretary-General who has the ability to appreciate it."
"I hope! Oh, shit, I will definitely enter the cinema as soon as possible for Wan Xiaohu's movies in the future!"
Listening to other people's conversations, Tom's eyes lit up.
It’s great that the movie is good. It’s worth spending a day in sitting here.
Ads were still being shown on the big screen. The bored Tom took out his mobile phone and started browsing Twitter online. This is a newly withdrawn social network and micro blog in March this year, commonly known as Twitter, which is the scarf mentioned in mainland China. Once launched, it soon became popular among young people.
Open the software and the most popular topic on Twitter is "Never End".
It seems that the movie is very popular. Of course, if others knew that one of Twitter's shareholders was Wan Xiaohu, I'm afraid I wouldn't be confused by this illusion. Almost less than two months after Twitter was launched, Wan Xiaohu noticed it. Then he invested $20 million in angel investment and obtained 50% of the shares.
Tom couldn't see a few scarves, and the lights in the cinema went out, and then the noisy cinema began to quiet down.
Dangdang Dangdang, the familiar melody of Jiahe rose. This is the opening logo that was popular in the United States during the Bruce Lee era.
Unfortunately, few people know about the cinemas nowadays.
Several logos end and the screen begins.
As if it was climbing, the camera began to rise rapidly from the bottom of the Oriental Pearl Tower, and then slowly passed over the rotating restaurant. Dinner was in the restaurant, full of petty bourgeois mood. Finally, the camera stopped at the top of the tower. Under the stars in the night sky, Li Xiang, played by Liu Dehua, looked down at the ground with his head down.
"I will never let them touch one of my fingers." Liu Dehua murmured to himself.
The camera starts from above the head, and the lights flash on the street below, pedestrians are like ants and vehicles are like beans.
With a clang, Liu Dehua turned his head and looked at the left, as if someone was chasing him. Then he turned his head and looked at the direction he was walking towards him. The lights of the Oriental Pearl Tower were particularly bright.
"For me with a four-digit IQ, maybe I missed something, but I almost did everything I wanted to do. I am so close to God's existence, but now I end up with a corpse on the streets."
The camera circled around Liu Dehua, and with the height of the Oriental Pearl Tower, the scenery of the entire Magic City was captured in the camera.
"Beautiful, so beautiful, China is so beautiful!" Some viewers couldn't help but exclaim.
And the shot that made them even more amazed came later!
Liu Dehua lowered his head and looked at his feet, as if he was about to jump down.
Before the person moved, the camera had already moved and quickly fell down and advanced along the foot. It turned out that it was faster and faster, and suddenly passed through a taxi, then changed to another Zoom-in lens, passed through the endless crossroads, passed through the crowded pedestrian street, passed through the bridge across the Huangpu River, passed through one car after another on the bridge, through the underground tunnel, and through the big screen in the square.
And a cross-sectional view of a brain that appears on the big screen, enters the microscopic world, passes through blood vessels, passes through neurons, and then the neurons are enlarged into another brain, and then every blood vessel in the brain is clearly enlarged. The bigger it becomes, it eventually turns into a map of the Magic City.
Then continue Zoom-in pushing, pushing to the white top of a house.
After the screen is brushed, all the characters turn white, and then five large characters slowly appear.
"Director: Wan Xiaohu."
"Wow, what kind of shot is this? It's so cool!" The sluts in the cinema could no longer bear it and started shouting.
"Excellent, really exciting!"
"You will know that the Magic City is beautiful after watching the Source Code. After watching this long shot, you will know what an international metropolis is, no worse than our New York."
"Just this shot, the ticket price is worth it!"
“It’s so cool!”
"How did this be done!"
Chapter completed!
