Chapter 167 The love of a lifetime [seeking a monthly ticket]
The filming was in full swing, and the crew kept running back and forth between Northwest and Langya. It took more than three months to finally complete the shooting task. Xu Wenruo also began to focus his work on post-production editing and special effects production.
The special effects company that he worked with before has been acquired by Xu Wenruo. They have been involved in the filming on the crew. They know exactly what kind of scenes will appear in the end. Xu Wenruo used this method to ensure that the special effects will not show scenes that are inconsistent with the film.
It can also speed up the production progress of the later stages, because if Xu Wen shoots according to the development of the plot, the editing and special effects can be started after the previous shots.
When the crew completed the filming task, the entire post-production had actually completed half of the workload, that is, the upper part of the moonlight treasure box had been made into films. Waiting for Xu Wenruo to add the soundtrack, it would be considered as if the work was done.
In fact, the reason why the filming takes so long is that in addition to the large number of plots, the most waste of time is running back and forth between the two places, otherwise the shooting progress might be faster.
It took three months in total. When it was released, it would take almost one month. The filming started in April, and the final release time was about August. Since it was divided into two movies, it would take two hours.
After discussing with Xingxun Pictures, the Moonlight Treasure Box was released on August 1st, and the Fairyland was released on September 1st. The second half of the summer season was basically contracted by these two movies "A Chinese Odyssey". Many distribution companies found out that Xu Wenruo's latest movie would be released on August 1st, and they chose to skip the show.
Many industry insiders know that Xu Wenruo takes advantage of the previous movie, the resources that can be obtained in this movie are very terrifying. If there is no need, no one will choose to collide with Xu Wenruo, otherwise the car will definitely be destroyed and the people will die.
As time goes by July, when Xu Wenruo is still busy with post-production, the promotion of the movie has begun. The news that Xu Wenruo's latest movie "A Chinese Odyssey" will be released has caused a thousand waves.
Except for the beginning of the year when Xu Wenruo recorded three episodes of "Longing for Life", he disappeared again, and there was no news about Xu Wenruo on major variety shows, which made Xu Wenruo's fans speechless.
Xu Wenruo disappears at any time. Even though they know that Xu Wenruo is filming, they are still very angry. Other idols are very fond of fans, often appear on major variety shows, and often interact with fans.
Xu Wenruo is completely different. Whenever his popularity surges and is about to take off, he will disappear for a while. Although Xu Wenruo will definitely surprise his fans when he appears again, this willful behavior is really hateful.
Many agents of large companies couldn't help but grit their teeth when they saw Xu Wenruo's wasted popularity. If Xu Wenruo was an artist under their charge, they would definitely let Xu Wenruo take on commercial performances endlessly, otherwise these popularity would have been in vain. Unfortunately, they would never get Xu Wenruo.
However, what makes fans more grateful is that although Xu Wenruo has not appeared in front of them for several months, the web drama that Xu Wenruo filmed is still being screened.
In May, the fourth part of "The Tomb Raiders Chronicles" was released in the highly anticipated eyes. The charm of the Tomb Raiders Iron Triangle is unstoppable. After two years of precipitation, the online drama "The Tomb Raiders Chronicles" has become an insurmountable milestone in the online drama industry, with views of up to billions of each season.
Many people even revisited the previous clips during the broadcast of the new season, which made "Grave Robbers" stand on the hot list of Star News Videos from season one to season four. Their status is unmovable, and even some TV masterpieces are difficult to shake the status of "Grave Robbers".
These five seasons of online dramas have made Xingxun Video a lot, and their operating department is even a little reluctant to leave, because the five seasons of online dramas are almost finished, but they have already eaten delicacies and the sea of food, and looking back to watch those online dramas is shoddy, it is really a bit unbearable.
Therefore, the operation department is reporting their leaders whether they are asking Xu Wenruo to write another book, even if it is just a creativity, and film a few more movies in the form of the online drama "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", otherwise the rest of the life will be difficult.
Old Liu, an executive of Xingxun Video, was also in a dilemma. He knew Xu Wenruo's recent situation because an old man had been arguing in his ears for the past two days, saying that Xu Wenruo's new movie was about to be released and they were about to face new challenges. He had already watched the movie, and this time it might exceed 3 billion box office record.
Listening to Fatty Wang's smug tone, Old Liu was so angry that he was really too bullying. Xu Wenruo was introduced to the film company by their video branch, but now he still has the face to come over to show off. You know, Xingxun Video has a very good relationship with Xu Wenruo.
But now it is Lao Wang on the opposite side who comes to show off in front of him. He is really a villain. If it weren't for Xu Wenruo, who wouldn't know what the film company would look like? The entire group would be. He is often criticized by the board of directors. However, after holding Xu Wenruo's thigh this year, he actually had a swaying attitude.
If Xu Wenruo can maintain the quality of the previous movie, then the box office results may really not break the box office record. You should know that the total box office of movies in the past two years has soared year by year. It has evolved from a small market of more than one billion more than ten years ago to a large market of tens of billions every year. It is very likely that a movie can exceed three billion.
Xu Wenruo almost achieved this achievement in his last movie, but unfortunately, Xingxun Pictures was not very good in terms of publicity and distribution, which led to the final box office failure to break the record.
This time, Xu Wenruo made a comeback, and he was very ruthless. Mr. Liu was also very clear about this. Xu Wenruo's recent energy was probably all focused on the movies, so he definitely didn't have time to prepare online dramas. Even though Xu Wenruo had a good relationship with Xingxun Video, Mr. Liu was not sure to convince Xu Wenruo to help them write a script.
However, it is a fact that there are no high-quality online dramas under Xingxun Video recently. In the face of the suggestions of the following employees, Mr. Liu could not ignore them. In addition, he couldn't stand it when he heard that Mr. Wang next door was so arrogant, so he finally called Xu Wenruo.
A few minutes later, Mr. Liu politely looked at the phone with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but open, as if he had got what he wanted.
"Okay, OK, no problem... It's OK anytime, and it's OK to wait until you finish your work first before writing."
"Xiao Xu, the banner on the homepage of Xingxun Video is still empty recently. I heard that your movie is about to be released? I'll arrange it for you."
"No trouble, they are all brothers. Lao Wang has known each other for many years. We have a good relationship. I will definitely help him once, not to mention that you, Xiao Xu, are in a good position."
"Don't worry, the banner of the homepage for a month must be guaranteed. Our relationship is hard to say. Then I wish Director Xu a big box office sales here. I'm waiting to attend your celebration banquet. I missed it last time, and I will definitely be there this time."
Mr. Liu put down the phone with satisfaction. He thought about it carefully, but still couldn't stop his inner joy. The smug smile of Lao Wang next door appeared in his mind. Lao Liu couldn't help but dial his phone number.
"Hey, is it Lao Wang? Yes, it's me, Lao Liu."
"Hey, there's nothing else. The life has been hard lately. I've introduced Xiao Xu to you. We haven't had a good movie recently and are worried."
"It's better to be self-reliant after thinking about it. Do you have a film and television team in your company? I'll borrow it for me."
"You said the script. The script was written by Xiao Xu. You know our relationship with Xiao Xu, so there is nothing to say. Since I have spoken, he must give me some face."
"Hey hey! Oh my god, Lao Wang! Hey, you dare to hang up my phone!"
...
Xu Wenruo, who is in the post-production, received a call from Mr. Liu. He was also very helpless. There was no way. The debt of favors is the most difficult to repay. Let’s not mention that Xu Wenruo debuted on the Xingxun Video program back then. At that time, they did not get stuck with Xu Wenruo because of his origin.
Later, in Xu Wenruo's most difficult moment, Xingxun Video was able to help Xu Wenruo. It was easy to add icing on the cake, but it was difficult to help him in time. Although Xu Wenruo seemed to be indifferent, he was actually a person who valued feelings very much. Facing Mr. Liu's request, Xu Wenruo really could not refuse.
I just can only promise to help Xingxun Video write scripts for two online dramas when I finish the post-production of the movie and help them support the scene when I have free time.
But in this way, Xu Wenruo was still extremely busy at work. He could only sigh softly and sigh that he was really born to be hard-working.
Just when Xu Wenruo calmed down to conduct post-production, the promotion of the movie had been gradually rolled out. This time, Starxun Pictures, which had sufficient funds and had sufficient experience, chose a two-pronged approach to online and offline, and the two attacks were very powerful.
#New director Xu Wenruo's latest masterpiece "A Chinese Odyssey" will be released soon, so you should be happy during the summer.
# "A Chinese Odyssey" interprets tradition from a different perspective and brings you a different experience.
#I love you all my life, and I have no regrets about this love. Letting go may be the last love for you. "A Chinese Odyssey" is dedicated.
#There was once a sincere feeling in front of me, and I didn't cherish it, and I didn't regret it until I lost it - "A Chinese Odyssey"
Various channels and methods, overwhelming advertising slogans suddenly appeared in front of netizens. In just a few days, many people knew that Xu Wenruo had a new movie "A Chinese Odyssey" to be released.
"Wow, it's actually a new movie. I must watch it. Are there any friends who will watch the movie together?"
"It's been a long time since August 1st, but I want to watch it now, what should I do?"
"Journey to the West? What's the point of this subject? It's actually a comedy. I really don't understand it at all. Isn't it a monk who went to learn from the scriptures? Why do you still love and love?"
"Look clearly, this is "A Chinese Odyssey", which is different from Journey to the West. I guess it is Xu Wenruo using a setting in Journey to the West and then tells a new story."
"I've watched a show that Xu Wenruo participated before, and I seemed to have filmed similar themes. I felt that it was a very funny stage drama at that time."
Just as everyone was talking about Xu Wenruo’s latest movie, the first promotional poster for “The Legend of the World” was released online in mid-July. In the picture, Fairy Zixia, wearing purple clothes, with a face as cold as frost and tears in her eyes, held a purple-green sword and placed it on the throat of Supreme Treasure.
Wearing a red dress, like the Supreme Treasure of the groom, there was a tear at the corner of his eyes and something was saying in his mouth. Audiences who had never watched a movie must not understand what this scene meant, but the copywriting attached to this poster caused heated discussion.
#I can't hold you tightly when I pick up the sword, I can't protect you when I put down the sword---"A Chinese Odyssey"
The vivid copywriting is like a sharp sword, pointing directly to the hearts of the people, and the poster with a full sense of picture immediately caused heated discussions among people.
"Why did my eyes gradually become wet when I saw this picture and copywriting? Why did the heroine in the picture look so sad?"
"This is a false proposition. The sword in your hand is to protect the loved one, but once you hold the sword, you cannot hug her. This is a choice that is destined to be a tragedy without the correct answer."
"I felt a little uneasy when I saw the poster. This is not a comedy movie. You can just laugh and laugh in the cinema. Why are the poster characters released so sad?"
"If I had a choice, I would definitely pick up the sword and silently protect the person I like. Even if I could never hug her again, why did I feel a sense of sadness in my heart?"
"If the movie ultimately discusses this choice, then I may watch it. The movie that discusses this kind of topic should not be too bad."
While the poster copywriting has aroused heated discussion, the popularity of the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" is gradually increasing, and even the number of young people who made an appointment to watch the movie on August 1st has reached hundreds of thousands.
The theater has not yet opened the page for pre-sale movie tickets, and the topic of watching movies online has become very popular. It can be predicted what kind of scene will be on August 1st? It will be popular before it is broadcast. This is the treatment of "A Chinese Odyssey".
In fact, in July, the summer season had already started competition, but this year's summer season movies did not have any movies that could cause heated discussion. Even several science fiction blockbusters introduced abroad were not as popular as those that had not yet been released.
Chapter completed!
