Chapter 112 Blow up the plane for propaganda (60 Zhang Yue)
As the time for the bombing of the plane in "Death Comes" gradually approaches, those concerned movie fans have become anxious.
At 2 o'clock in the morning on July 26, the night filled the air.
In this pitch-black night, the hilltop one kilometer away from where the plane explosion was filmed was already brightly lit, and several huge searchlights illuminated everything around it.
The crew of "Death Is Coming" and the hiring company can be said to be extremely busy today, preparing for filming in 6 hours. The actors, who have been extremely busy in the past few months, have been graciously agreed by Wang Shang to take a break.
, let’s watch tomorrow’s explosion scene together.
In addition to the brightly lit hill, if you look down from the sky, you can also see countless lights moving towards the hill. These were all attracted by the plane bombing operation 6 hours later.
Among them were reporters from all over the country, people from other production companies who came to study, movie fans who wanted to see the scene of bombing planes, and even tourists from recent travel agency groups. There were all kinds of people coming. Those
Tourists, in addition to enjoying new and exciting experiences, probably come more to join in the fun and see celebrities.
In order to grab a good location in time, they rushed here overnight.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the hill began to become crowded with people. Countless people gathered here, and the number reached tens of thousands.
Wang Shang was already shocked by these enthusiastic movie fans.
This hill is the only hill in the nearby area and has the highest terrain. It is just the right distance from the explosion site, so it is the best place to watch the explosion scene.
This is also the only place in the surrounding area that allows people to stay. If they see people in other places except the hills, the staff will persuade/evict them.
Wang Shang has done such a big thing. In addition to filming and doing special effects, another purpose is to promote it, and try to attract as much publicity as possible.
Seeing a group of reporters standing in front of him in the dark, Wang Shang felt his blood rushing all over his body. It was obvious that the publicity was well done, and the 5 million yuan cost was considered worthwhile.
"The scene of the plane explosion in "The God of Death". Let me explain to you the situation at the scene."
"As you can see, there is still an open space on the ground where the aircraft is parked. Beihang Group will transport the aircraft over at 10 o'clock next time. And around the airport, look at the 10 aircraft that were just erected.
Meter-high iron frame..."
Wang Shang pointed to the 10 high shelves 500 meters away from the center of Dapingchang and said: "On these 10 high shelves are placed 10 cameras, and 4 of them are ultra-high-definition cameras rented back from foreign countries at high prices. These ten cameras will
By enclosing the blasting point, we can complete 360-degree shooting without blind spots, providing material for the post-production of the movie. In addition to cameras, there are also recording equipment, and ten of them have been prepared to sample the sound of the explosion."
Wang Shang then invited two special effects artists from Digitalsquires to come on stage to meet the public. Then he invited a professional blasting master to come on stage to break down the blasting details: "Our blasting direction will avoid this hill and blast in other directions.
To ensure 100% safety of this hilly area.
The introduction of each on-site layout caused many exclamations from the audience.
“Awesome!!”
"Although I don't understand it, I feel it's very powerful."
A reporter asked: "Excuse me, Director Wang, why do you need to buy an airplane to shoot explosions? You can use the existing videos of air crash accidents to do it? Is this a waste of money?"
Wang Shang smiled confidently: "A waste of money? I think for the sake of the movie, all the money wasted is worth it. Last year, the share ratio of the movie distribution was successfully increased to 43%. As a result, our production company can return more profits.
, providing more adequate funding for our film industry!!"
"Hollywood has gradually raised the investment standards for movies. An investment of 80 million here is considered a blockbuster, but in Hollywood, an investment of 80 million can only be considered a small film. This is the gap! Only by investing more money can we make good films.
Movies! The future movie market is an era of big productions!! At this time, Hollywood is already decades ahead of us. If we want to catch up with Hollywood, we can’t save money!!”
Wang Shang's forward-looking speech won a lot of recognition and applause, and also aroused deep thought among media reporters and production companies.
The movie fans even applauded warmly. Wang Shang's words directly touched their itch. Compared to movies with a little investment, they prefer big investments, big scenes, and big casts.
At 10 o'clock sharp, with great anticipation, the sound of helicopter propellers began to sound.
"Buzz buzz~~~~" the voice is getting louder and louder!!
They soon saw four helicopters hoisting a giant passenger plane slowly appearing in everyone's sight.
The passenger plane was in stunning colors, as if it were a new aircraft that had just left the factory.
When all the viewers see it, they feel that this is a new large passenger aircraft, not a scrapped aircraft.
"How domineering!! It's actually a big plane! I thought I would just build a small plane and go through the motions and be done with it!!"
"Why do I feel so extravagant and wasteful? Such a new big aircraft is only used to shoot a scene?!"
"What a luxury! It looks like a new plane! But why do I feel so good!!"
"What's so awesome about showing off your wealth by smashing up luxury cars? Look at the king blowing up planes!! This is called showing off your wealth! Compared with other shows of wealth, they are so frustrating!!"
What Wang Shang wants is to make the audience think this is a new aircraft, and what he wants is to give the audience a refreshing feeling of blowing up a plane.
"Holy crap! I made a mistake, I didn't bring a telescope!! What a trap!!"
"I didn't expect this. I didn't bring a telescope, so it hurts!" After the plane was placed in the center of the field and the helicopter flew away, many spectators reacted: 1 kilometer seems a bit far, and it's not interesting to see it like this.
At this time, the clever and unscrupulous businessman appeared with a lewd smile: "This kid! Do you want a telescope? A pair is 588 yuan, a better one is 888 yuan. A better one is 1888 yuan, quality guaranteed, Tongsou
No bully!! There is also food, do you want it? Are you hungry? A cake is 10 yuan, guaranteed not to expire, dear..."
"..."
The rich people paid for it, while the poor people could only stare with their eyes wide open, wishing they could beat this profiteer a hundred times.
Poor viewers!!
After the plane arrived, it took an hour for the explosives to be placed one by one according to the previously designed blasting points. These blasting points were the result of discussions between the crew, two experienced special effects artists and the blasting master, in order to ensure the explosion
On the basis of this, we can create the best and most dazzling blasting effect.
At 11 o'clock, all inspections were correct, and after the surrounding area was cleared, the blasting officially started!!
All reporters and audiences stood at the best viewing and shooting locations, waiting eagerly.
The ten cameras and recording equipment surrounding the large passenger plane started to activate in advance and were ready.
Wang Shang held the microphone in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The blasting is about to begin!!"
"Everyone please take precautions, 10...9...8..."
"4...3...2...1...detonate!!!"
Following Wang Shang's order, the blasting master pressed the detonation control.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
The ears become deaf instantly!!
The ground shook for a while, and everyone felt the ground shaking, making them a little unsteady.
But at this time, they had no time to care about this. Instead, they stared with wide eyes at the passenger plane that was being torn into pieces by the violent flames.
The explosion flame formed a huge fireball, expanding in all directions, filling half of the sky with red, and thick smoke rising into the sky!!
Countless torn fragments were blown hundreds of meters away by the violent explosion and scattered everywhere.
At this time, the cool large passenger plane had completely disappeared. Only sections of the large frame were left, and a large pit with a diameter of 20 meters and a depth of half a meter was left.
The explosion ended very quickly. It took less than a minute.
But everyone was a little sluggish, obviously not recovering from the huge shocking scene just now.
After waking up, there was thunderous applause!!
"good!!!"
“It’s so shocking!!”
"Holy shit!!"
They don't know how to describe their feelings.
…
The plane bombing promotion plan for "Death Is Coming" was a great success. Not only did Wang Shang get the material for the explosion, he also received a lot of recognition from the media and fans.
After returning home, Wang Shang did not need to organize it. Thousands of netizens who watched the explosion were already promoting Wang Shang on the Internet. The large number of pictures aroused great interest among countless netizens.
"Wow, there are so many people! There must be at least tens of thousands of people."
"This plane is so cool. It's a pity to blow it up, but it makes me admire the domineeringness of the producers of "Death Is Coming" even more! It was so cool and amazing!!"
"I originally wanted to go, but the boss didn't approve it, so I burst into tears! I regret it!!"
Soon, Tianwang Studio took out the film and made it into a edited video and uploaded it to the official website. Not long after it was uploaded, it was wildly reposted by countless netizens.
"Great praise! This is the first time I have seen such an awesome scene besides movies!! I regret not going there!! The scene will definitely be more shocking!!"
"Blowing up planes is truly unparalleled!!"
Regarding the media, regarding the filming process of the plane explosion, every media outlet that was present quickly wrote about the process and posted it online, along with their own analysis.
In addition to reporting on the explosion scene, many media also quoted Wang Shang's words to analyze the current situation and future of the film and television industry.
"In future movies, large investment will become a main direction, and computer special effects will become an essential element of blockbusters."
With the help of netizens and the media, this alternative publicity plan concocted by Wang Shang himself achieved great success.
The popularity of "Death is Coming" is rising again!
Zhao Baogang and Hanhai Film and Television Group of "Death Comes" publicly stated: "The other party is trying to please everyone!!"
At this time, Macau casinos began to lower the odds of "Death is Coming" again, and they no longer dare to underestimate "Death is Coming".
