Chapter 113 While filming is in progress (Qian Mo is silently the leader!)
Wang Shang's behavior of blowing up planes created a huge gimmick for "Death Comes", which made more people pay attention to the movie, and even the casinos began to waver.
As the popularity of "The God of Death" continues to rise, hundreds of thousands of fans of the heavy-flavored God of Death have begun to accumulate throughout China. As the designer of the death design concept, Wang Shang is naturally widely loved by the fans of the God of Death.
.
In the entertainment industry, Wang Shang has gradually established himself as the newbie king with his creativity and imagination. If there are a few more eye-catching ideas, the word "newcomer" will probably be removed.
As the popularity of "Death is Coming" continues to increase, more and more businesses are requesting to insert commercial advertisements.
Those with cars: Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac, Maserati...
There are shopping mall advertisements: large billboards on landmark buildings in major shopping malls around the city...
There are also all kinds of weird products...
However, Wang Shang is not enthusiastic about this kind of advertising.
Horror films are different from ordinary commercial films. You cannot add conspicuous advertisements casually, otherwise it will destroy the frightening atmosphere of the entire movie and turn the hard-earned tension into an instant aversion to inserted advertisements...
In that case, this movie would definitely go down a few notches.
It is precisely for this reason that the funds provided by those merchants will not be much.
Therefore, Wang Shang must not insert too many advertisements.
After Wang Shang thought about it for a while, he came up with a few places where he could insert advertisements. First, the car that the protagonists drove on the railway could be a car with a less obvious logo.
And towards the finale, the three protagonists traveled to another city to relax, thinking that they were out of danger. Therefore, the plot at that time will become very gentle and relaxing, and one or two advertisements can be inserted at the right time. Even if the audience pays attention
It doesn't matter when it comes to this commercial, because at this time, death will suddenly come again, and the audience's mood will become more and more exciting because of the commercial...
Wang Shang thought about it, discussed it with several people on the crew, and felt that there was no problem, so he started to recruit advertisers.
Finally, after two days of negotiations, "Death Is Coming" finally identified three advertisers. They were BMW and two adjacent large shopping malls in the tourist destination of Hangzhou. They received a total of 1.5 million in advertising fees.
No matter how few mosquito legs there are, they still have meat.
As for the exploding plane, it can actually be used as an advertisement, but I guess the airlines will definitely refuse: If you make an advertisement about an exploding plane, will anyone dare to fly in the future?
…
Time passed day by day, and gradually it came to July 22nd.
More than two months have passed since the filming started on May 20. Driven by Xie Tingfeng’s desperate performance, the rhythm of the entire crew has become very fast. Everyone walks as if they are running with them. Everyone
My spirit and will are tense.
It is precisely because of this fast pace that the filming progress of "Death is Coming" has reached one-half.
In fact, the acting requirements for actors in "Death is Coming" are not complicated. As long as they can grasp the emotions of fear, shock, tension, confusion, etc., they will be fine.
The most critical part of this movie is not the actors' performance, but the editing and dubbing. If you can create that weird, sinister feeling, it will be considered a success. Of course, the special effects are also very important, which can make people more nervous and exciting.
Today I filmed the scene in the movie where the ‘teacher’ was set up by the God of Death in his own home.
Because they wanted to shoot the scene where the house exploded due to a gas leak, the crew left the Magic City and went to Northern Hebei to find a relatively ordinary single house with one floor. After some modifications, it became
The 'teacher's' residence.
Under the arrangement of the set designer, the interior layout has been arranged according to the set requirements of the script.
"James, is this scene arrangement okay?" Wang Shang asked the senior special effects artist he brought from Hollywood. Because this scene needs special effects, the special effects artist knows best what kind of arrangement is suitable for special effects.
James looked around a few times, changed the position of the camera, and had some lighting issues, and then nodded in agreement.
"Xiaocha, put some makeup on 'teacher', the makeup has fallen off!"
"Okay." Mengchacha was recruited by Wang Shang into Tianwang Studio after her last class reunion, and then directly transferred to the crew of "Death is Coming" and became an intern makeup artist. Her skills were pretty good. Under the guidance of the old makeup artist
He has also made some progress and is considered a good person worth cultivating.
"Prepare...3,2,1,action!!"
The teacher couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after watching the police outside the window taking away the sneaky Xie Tingfeng (the protagonist).
Just as she turned away from the window, a gust of wind appeared strangely behind the closed window.
She clearly felt a gust of wind blowing against her in the room, and the pajamas she was wearing were swaying in the wind.
With a confused and frightened expression, the teacher turned around and looked at the closed window. His eyes gradually began to show strangeness. Thinking of the strange events in recent times, his face gradually showed a look of fear.
Wang Shang and the assistant director were whispering about the filming process: "It feels like it would be best not to turn her body around, just turn her head. In this case, in order to look at the window, her eyes would have to be turned to the edge of her eye sockets, exposing most of the whites of her eyes."
It looks a little more scary."
"The angle of the lighting seems to be wrong. It is best to illuminate it from the side, which will show some shadows and make it appear more eerie."
Wang Shanghe, the assistant director, was writing and writing beside him. He wrote a lot of notes, and then he started to stop: "NG!"
After Wang Shang handed what he had just written to the 'teacher', he asked her to take pictures again.
Those who can be teachers in the directing department of Shanghai Film and Television Academy are all experienced. After trying it out a few times on their own, they have mastered the suggestions given by the two directors.
Shooting resumes.
Just like that, the first session passed smoothly.
Then came several thrilling scenes, such as knives, gas, cups bursting and leaking wine on the ground, wine bottles placed next to the gas stove, computer monitors short-circuiting and exploding when exposed to water, monitors exploding, fragments stabbing the neck...
This series of seemingly thrilling scenes does not feel thrilling at all under the step-by-step processing of the script. Under such circumstances, the actor's expressions, demeanor, and movements all require her own imagination and speculation.
…
Time has gradually arrived at the beginning of August. During this period, Hanhai Film and Television Group's "Death Comes" began vigorous publicity. From stills to trailers to various large-scale scene production, news continued.
Moreover, the usual scandal propaganda in the entertainment industry was also used, saying that the two protagonists fought with death during the filming process and shared the adversity. Then they fell in love...
As soon as there are scandals about these big stars, the emotions of those fans will immediately freeze!!
"No love! He/she belongs to me!!"
Then, due to all the hype, more and more people began to pay attention to "Death Comes". Fans who originally didn't like horror movies couldn't help but want to find out what happened after seeing the scandal.
After Wang Shang heard about this scandal, he wanted to say: "I feel sad for these two stars. Not only do they have to sell their acting skills, but they also sell their looks."
Then curious Wang Shang clicked on the trailer of "Death Comes" on MTime. The trailer showed two protagonists running for their lives in a complex alleyway with relatively dark lighting. At the 40th second, Wang Shang
I saw a pale ghost figure, very similar to the image in some ghost movies, chasing the two protagonists with death designs.
After Wang Shang saw it, he almost stopped laughing!!
"This should be a good ghost movie! However, it is just a ghost movie. Compared to the God of Death and Death Design in "The God of Death"... it is simply a waste of the idea of the God of Death!! What are those on the Internet?
Man? You actually said the trailer is beautiful, I’m really speechless!!”
Wang Shang wanted to say one more thing: "I feel sad for the God of Death!!"
After Wang Shang laughed, he continued to concentrate on filming "The God of Death".
In the past nearly a month, "Death Is Coming" can be said to have changed from its previous high-profile publicity attitude and started to become more low-key.
The filming progress was rushed. Because according to the advice given by the special effects engineer, the special effects processing, post-editing and dubbing of the movie "Death is Coming" will take at least three months.
If it wants to be released during the Lunar New Year, the filming must be completed before the end of September and then sent to Hollywood for post-processing. Therefore, Wang Shang can only calm down and go all out to direct the movie at this time.
Without Wang Shang as a newsmaker, the entertainment industry has become a lot quieter. However, the movies that are gradually preparing to hit the Lunar New Year holiday are also beginning to gradually launch publicity to build momentum for the new movies.
After "Death Comes" did not compete with "Death Comes", it naturally occupied the attention of most horror film lovers in this genre of horror films.
…
August 20th.
The press conference held by the Emperor caused a great sensation in the music industry.
Countless music media reported on it that day.
"After being silent for more than half a year, Xie Tingfeng finally released a new album "REBORN"!!"
""REBORN" means rebirth, the Chinese name is "Second Life"!!"
""The Second Life" reminds people of the Nirvana of the Phoenix. The Phoenix is reborn in the fire. This is why Xie Tingfeng hopes that he can be reborn after his comeback!!"
"According to Xie Tingfeng's manager, there will be three new original songs by Wang Shang in "The Second Life"."
"Wang Shang is working harder for Xie Tingfeng!!!"
Album publishing companies Emperor and King Studios joined forces to build momentum for Xie Tingfeng. Various media reported on it, and the fans who originally belonged to Xie Tingfeng went crazy.
Xie Tingfeng bid farewell to the music scene and disappeared for more than half a year, leaving countless honeys missing him. When he appeared for the first time at the launch conference of "Death is Coming" this year, honeys were both excited and disappointed: He had just come back and there was no new song?
Now that a new album has finally been released, these honeys are naturally extremely excited!!
As for Wang Shang, although he rarely appeared in the music scene at this time, his three original songs have successfully topped the list of new songs on music websites. His reputation is comparable to that of first-line singers, and he has accumulated at least millions of fans in the past two years.
At this time, after 10 months of absence, Wang Shang finally released a new song. Although he did not sing it himself, it was enough to make these music fans happy.
