Chapter 45: This movie even has a press conference?!
Only after finishing all the things did Han Zhou have time to look at his phone.
In the morning, Han Zhou wanted to see how popular Chen Feng's "Train Leaving" would be.
Now that the daylily has gone cold, Han Zhou finally has time to open his phone to check.
However, the vast majority of ordinary passers-by and Weibo users are like Han Zhou.
Who has the time to look at the trending search list all day? Even old Weibo users cannot see 99% of the trending searches.
Therefore, continuous heat is the real heat.
Han Zhou is no longer on the hot search list when he enters this entry.
However, the entire topic has received extremely high repost and view counts, with over 280,000 likes and over 150,000 comments.
To be honest, the data is a hundred times higher than the one currently at the top of the trending search list.
Chen Feng’s Weibo post mainly compares two videos.
One is a random singing and dancing version, which combines a rural feel with a fashionable feel, and uses folk instruments to play popular songs, creating a fashionable and avant-garde feel of the 1980s.
One is that he sings seriously, without pursuing a sense of fashion or a sense of local culture. It feels like a big star has fallen from grace to a makeshift troupe.
There are two videos, one is a clip used in the movie "Hello Mr. Tree", and the other is shot for fun.
Click on the video, after the bright and strange prelude, Chen Feng's singing voice arrives as expected:
"You are like a fire in the winter
The blazing fire warms my heart
Every time you approach me quietly
The fire lit me up
Your big eyes are bright and sparkling
It's like the brightest star in the sky~!"
Chen Feng also asked the fans which version they thought would be used in the movie, and the fans erupted in a very heated discussion.
"No way, Chen Feng, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually went to sing pop songs?"
“To be precise, ‘A Fire in the Winter’ is actually rock music in its main form.”
"Nonsense, can this be rock and roll?"
"It's really rock, but it's the pop-rock style from the 1990s, not the style of today."
"A Fire in the Winter" is a typical pop rock style, whether it is the soundtrack, the structure of the lyrics, or the rhythm.
However, its arrangement is a complete pop music arrangement.
Especially since it starts off with electronic music, and sounds a bit like a fire alarm.
Coupled with the use of a large amount of electronic music in the later part, it doesn't look like rock at all.
However, the older generation of rock fans know that this style of rock was short-lived.
"Whether it's pop or rock, the serious version sounds pretty good, but what the hell is that disco version? Hahahaha it made me laugh to death!"
"As for Han Zhou's movie, I bet the dancing version is the clip used in the movie."
"I'm so happy. Didn't Han Zhou post his wedding photos with An Lan from the drama before? I think Chen Feng and Liu Yiling should use a dancing version to fit the temperament of this movie."
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all talking about the movie? To be honest, this song is great!"
The beat is strong, the lyrics are bright, the melody is interesting and has a sense of rhythm.
Of course it sounds nice.
For Chen Feng, the rock king, it is so easy to master this song.
However, only a few people take the discussion seriously.
Most passers-by were already laughing so hard that they were numb.
"Hahaha, why can drums, keyboards, suona and sheng be put together to compose music? Han Zhou is really a little genius."
"Music, Chen Feng was wearing bell-bottom pants and started to dance forward. A chicken ran past him and he kicked it. How come the chicken's cry just blended in with the prelude?!"
"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore. Chen Feng and Liu Yiling's dance is too magical."
"Chen Feng and Liu Yiling don't have much dark history, but today we added one more, hahahahaha!"
Most people were attracted by the joy of the random singing version.
"It looks like this "Hello Mr. Tree" is very joyful. Let's go and watch it on New Year's Day."
Some passers-by said they wanted to go and see it, and the number of likes reached over a thousand, which shows that this marketing was successful.
"Didn't Chen Feng say that Han Zhou wrote two songs for him, both in this "Hello Mr. Tree"? Why did they only release one?"
"Could it be that the two versions of "A Fire in Winter" are two songs?"
Han Zhou started thinking.
There will definitely be all kinds of marketing going on in the coming week.
Among them, Chen Feng’s two songs were promoted separately.
If "Hello Mr. Tree" can bring some of An Lan, Chen Feng and Liu Yiling's fans into the cinema, it will be a success at the box office.
but……
If these people’s fans go to the cinema to watch the movie and see the stories of An Lan, Chen Feng and Liu Yiling’s characters, will they come and scold me?
Thinking of this, Han Zhou shrank his neck and closed his Weibo directly.
Well, as long as I can't see it, it doesn't exist.
"Why!"
Life is really like this. Now that "This Man From Earth" is about to start filming, Han Zhou has to start thinking about his next work.
It is impossible to shoot low-budget movies one after another.
The point is, low-budget movies can be very popular, but they cannot cultivate talents.
If Chen Xiaoyong and Zhang Jiuqian had continued to follow Han Zhou to make low-budget movies, they might have become famous.
But after several consecutive cycles, there will be a loss of sensitivity and the spirituality of certain technical work.
For technical workers who make movies or TV series, once you forget something, it will be difficult to pick it up again.
Therefore, after the small-budget film, we must make a large-scale film with a large investment.
but!
Even if "This Man From Earth" makes a lot of money, it is not enough for Han Zhou to make a big-budget movie!
So, Han Zhou now wants to make a big-budget TV series instead of a movie.
While working as an extra in Hengdian these days, Han Zhou is also learning the operating modes of various crews.
Han Zhou discovered that making movies and making TV series are two completely different things.
When filming a TV series , we often have to change the script and the set on the spot. The principle is to do whatever is convenient.
Han Zhou even saw a situation where the filming of a TV series took too long, resulting in the male lead's schedule being up, so the script was simply changed, with the male lead being killed off and the second male lead taking over.
The filming of a TV series is far less rigorous than that of a movie.
Because the shooting is not so rigorous, it is perfect for team training.
But large-scale TV dramas have almost been framed as costume dramas, preferably action dramas.
There are actually three main categories of choices.
One is the adaptation of martial arts novels, such as the adaptation of Jin Gu's works.
One is the comic game adaptation, such as Fengyun and The Legend of Sword and Fairy.
Another type is original martial arts and fantasy.
"First the TV series, then the novel?"
This is kind of hilarious.
Although Han Zhou has been writing frequently in his spare time recently and even wrote some best-selling novels, there is definitely no such thing as filming a TV series first and then publishing a novel. This is directly defined as making money by eating dirty money. No matter how well you write, you can't restore your reputation.
The readers of martial arts novels and the audience of martial arts dramas are almost two different groups.
Make a movie first, then make a game? Or just give up on adapting the game into a comic?
Han Zhou's comment was that it was a waste of resources.
You originally have two salaries, but you force yourself to only earn one?
Therefore, Han Zhou's attention was focused on the third type.
The screenwriter wrote a purely original script for fantasy and martial arts novels.
When Han Zhou thought of the purely original martial arts TV series, a lot of information immediately popped up in his mind.
The top three are the answers Han Zhou needs.
"Number One Under Heaven", "Water Moon Cave", "Supreme Beauty".
These three are the three original martial arts masterpieces with the highest overall ratings, the highest success rate of the leading actors after broadcast, and the longest memory and fondness of the audience.
Han Zhou tapped the table with his pen and soon realized something.
Both "The World's Number One" and "The Empress of China" are fictional!
Because in this world, history after Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty changed.
In this world, the turning point happened to be the overthrow of Wu Zetian.
Therefore, when filming The Empress of China, the protagonist is definitely not Li Junxian, but the colleague in history who changed the world.
"Oh, Wu Zetian can't be photographed."
“On the contrary, ‘The World’s Number One’ can be filmed.”
Because "The Number One Under Heaven" can be filmed as a purely fictional story, just like the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" in the previous life.
"Fuck! I didn't think of this."
"I didn't expect that a Ming Dynasty martial arts story like "Number One Under Heaven" would be a pure fiction. Then "Young Justice Bao", "The Ming Dynasty 1566", "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty", "Detective Di Renjie" and other stories basically cannot be filmed, or they can only be filmed as pure fiction."
There is a difference here.
For example, the feelings that people in this world get from watching dramas like "Nirvana in Fire" and "Young Justice Bao" should be similar to those people in the previous life felt when watching dramas like "Langya Bang".
As for the likes of "Detective Di Renjie" and "Empress Dowager", they are similar to the feeling people had when watching those "top-notch" garbage TV series that were blindly adapted in previous generations.
No matter how well-made it is, the script will be criticized.
Because it is seriously inconsistent with historical facts.
"Are you going to film the best in the world?"
Just as he was thinking, a phone call interrupted Han Zhou's train of thought.
Han Zhou looked down and saw the note was 'all legs below the chest'. The note was from Wang Xiya.
"Hello?"
Wang Xiya heard Han Zhou answer the phone and immediately said, "I will arrange an event tomorrow, a launch conference."
"Everything has been arranged. You just need to bring Ye Manyi and the others to participate."
Han Zhou was stunned. I didn't say I was going to hold a press conference for my movie?!
"this?"
Wang Xiya: "Cooperate with the promotion of "Hello Mr. Tree". Your new movie doesn't cost any money and gets popularity for free. Do you want to do it?"
"Let's do it!" Han Zhou was very sure: "I will definitely do it!"
"How did you arrange it?"
Haha, got it right!
Wang Xiya's crisp voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, the reporters who ask the main questions are all my people. My people are on the way and will be responsible for hosting the entire press conference tomorrow. You just wait to answer the questions."
"As for how hot it is, it's up to you."
Recently, Wang Xiya’s company structure has become stable, and her work focus has shifted to promoting "Hello Mr. Tree".
After reading Han Zhou's script, Wang Xiya keenly realized that "This Man From Earth" could be hyped!
And it can also be tied to the hype of "Hello Mr. Tree".
"Hello Mr. Tree", the first film directed and starred by Han Zhou, will be released in theaters during the New Year's Day holiday. At this time, Han Zhou has started shooting his second film, which is also a very rare science fiction film in China. If this is done well, the hype will be very high!
After hanging up the phone, Han Zhou came back to his senses.
"As soon as I heard that it was a free deal, I couldn't help but agree..."
Is there a press conference for this movie?
Maybe the money spent on the launch conference is more than the money spent on making the movie!
To be precise, it’s not that it’s not done well, but the money spent on the press conference is definitely much more than the budget for making the movie!
"this……"
Netizens don’t know that this movie press conference was paid for by Tianle.
When the details of various expense declarations are announced in the future, won’t netizens be dumbfounded?
The filming cost was 36,000 yuan, and the press conference cost was 500,000 yuan...
Who can withstand this?
"Forget it, I've already answered the call..."
…
At seven o'clock in the morning, a Tianle luxury nanny car stopped downstairs of the New World Company.
