"I declare that Fiery 1941 is officially finished!" Director Li shouted.
At the end of April, amid soaring flames and explosions, this seven-month war film finally came to an end.
Not to mention the tears of the leading actors, even many of the extras hugged each other and sobbed. It was really not easy. Sometimes, hundreds of extras had to lie motionless in the mire for one shot, especially Director Li.
It’s even more terrible for a director who likes to take one shot to the end. Sometimes he will sit down for a whole day and then continue the next day. It is normal for him to toss for several days.
There are also some crawling scenes, which are so worn that the skin is broken, not to mention the feeling of being soaked in the turbid mire.
Not to mention that during the filming of the war scenes, my body was not clean even a day, and sometimes I no longer knew where the makeup was and where the real dirt was.
But the more difficult it is, the more complicated everyone's emotions will be when it's finished. It's just like a person sometimes has an extra wound on his body. It will be very painful and uncomfortable at the beginning. At that time, he will want to get better immediately, but he will really wait until he is fully healed.
Sometimes you feel like something is missing, and you actually miss the numbing pain at the beginning?
Director Li also hugged Han Fei. For her, this movie has been full of twists and turns from the initial script review. During the preparation stage, she finally got investment from Hua Yi Culture, but Hua Yi was only willing to provide 30 million, and the rest
She had to attract investment by herself, and encountered obstacles in the capital circle.
Director Li had no choice but to use his many years of relationships to convince some investors who knew the details, but it turned out that the difference was still 10 million, and the last 10 million was invested by Han Fei.
Halfway through filming, she had a dispute with the investors, who threatened to withdraw their capital, and it was Han Fei who supported her with 15 million, which finally led to the finalization of the film, so Director Li is very grateful to Han Fei.
There is no doubt about it.
At the closing banquet, Director Li also rarely picked up a wine glass, but she couldn't put it down. The actors all rushed to toast.
Han Fei and the rest of the crew were relatively calm, and there was a sense of familiarity and hatred. However, Fatty Hu wanted to drink with others, but others ignored him, so he could only drink alone in embarrassment.
"Producer Han, logically speaking, you are also an actor, so you should sit with us." Qin Bailu twisted her waist and came over. She had to admit that this woman was like a ripe peach.
Her whole body exudes the charm of a mature woman.
But Han Fei just touched her a glass of wine and said: "The following scenes are well performed. I believe you will be recognized by the audience."
"Thank you." Qin Bailu's smile this time was very pure, and she looked like a completely different person from her previous pretentious smile.
After the crew finished packing, they loaded up all the photography equipment and sent it to the capital. The filming materials were brought back to Hua Yi for post-editing.
Director Li naturally has to focus on editing, and Han Fei has no time to spare during this period, and has to start planning for the promotion of the film.
Hua Yi's publicity department also came up with a publicity plan, but Han Fei was not satisfied after reading it. It was indeed politically correct to promote patriotic sentiments and release it in conjunction with the Army Day.
However, this kind of plan can only target the government and military personnel, and they are not the main moviegoers. It is young people who can really generate box office.
"What young people hate most today is preaching. If you do this, you will not only fail to achieve the purpose of publicity, but you will also label this film as old-fashioned."
Everyone in Hua Yi's Publicity and Development Department looked a little ugly. Anyone whose hard-working plan was rejected would be unhappy. What's more, this person is still a young boy who looks much younger than them. If it weren't for the other investor's
With his identity right there, everyone has already turned against him.
"Then what do you think we should do?" the manager of the publicity department said with an unhappy look on his face.
Han Fei was not polite and came up with the plan he had prepared early. The PPT in the USB flash drive was exported, and a still photo appeared on the projection screen.
Everyone was obviously stunned when they saw it, and then there was a sound of swallowing in the office. No wonder, this still shows the second female lead played by Qin Bailu wearing a bright red cheongsam, standing in front of the ruins in a daze.
.
Qin Bailu's hot figure supported by the cheongsam should have been a very sexy scene, but it was in sharp contrast with the gray and white building ruins.
In fact, when Han Fei made this publicity plan, the first thing that came to his mind was "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". To be honest, before this film came out, everyone had no impression of war, human nature, and redemption. On the contrary, several of the leading actors wore
The stills of cheongsam attracted a lot of attention.
In the office, everyone in the publicity department looked at each other. As veterans who have been in this industry for many years, they naturally knew the power of this still.
"But, wouldn't this seem solemn enough? After all, this is a war movie." The publicity manager worried.
In fact, Director Li also had concerns in this regard, but out of trust in Han Fei, she did not speak.
Han Fei shook his head and asked: "What do you see from this still? Is it not solemn?"
Well, everyone was speechless. This still was like some misplaced photos. It seemed very pornographic at first glance, but in fact, upon closer inspection, it was not what they imagined. If an opponent uses this still
To do negative propaganda, they can use the allusion between Su Dongpo and the eminent monk to educate their opponents whether they see shit or see Buddha.
Manager Xuanfa is still a little worried: "This is a strange move, but it is also a dangerous move. If you don't use it well, you can easily hurt yourself."
Han Fei smiled: "Then it depends on your abilities. How to control the direction of public opinion should be what you are good at, right?"
To be honest, this level of marketing is nothing at all. Fan Moumou's "Ma Zhen Marketing" back then was vulgar enough, wasn't it? When the TV series was launched, it was so popular that it scared me to death. Later, if it weren't for the control, the picture could only be
If it is played above the chest, the heat is probably much higher.
"Okay, let's use this plan to warm up first."
In the end, Han Fei's plan won the approval of most people, especially the investors who were full of praise for Han Fei's plan.
So that night, Hua Yi Culture began to exert its efforts. What made Han Fei even more speechless was that these people actually went even further than him. It was obviously a pre-publicity, but they insisted on making a title "The production artist risked his life to leak the stills."
.
Then when you enter, there is a set of stills of Qin Bailu wearing cheongsam, with a soft article in the middle revealing the release time of "Fire 1941".
"A good man has a peaceful life."
