Chapter 586: Trailer
In the middle of January, Dongyuan University ushered in a huge change.
It's winter break.
After the exam season, all the classes of the previous semester have ended, and the university students are embarking on their return trips.
And long before the college students went on vacation, there was already a wave of migrant workers returning to their hometowns.
And with the students' holiday, it also means that the most lively schedule of the film market in the year - the Spring Festival is coming.
Many people who are running around in big cities, have no time to entertain, and have been busy for a year, during the Spring Festival, in addition to the New Year's party, finally have time to take their wives and children to the cinema to watch a movie.
Moreover, there are relatively few entertainment activities during the Spring Festival, and most of the entertainment facilities are not open, so watching movies has become the first choice for many people.
At this time, as long as there are movies to watch, as long as there are scheduled films, you are not afraid of not making money.
But not all movies have the strength and guts to compete for the Spring Festival file.
is really full of predators at this moment, if the quality is not too hard, or the publicity is not too hard, I am afraid that it will be impacted by other movies and will not even be able to make waves.
And most of the Spring Festival stalls are family movies, the kind that is suitable for the whole family to watch together, and those who dare to be released at this time, in addition to family movies, there are only real big costs, big productions, and big traffic.
"Goodbye, Boy" is not a big production, and there are no big stars, but it still set the schedule for the Spring Festival, and it was officially released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Compared with other movies, the publicity and distribution of "Goodbye, Boy" is not strong, and Wang Dawen does not attach too much importance to the publicity.
Because of the fans of Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao, it is impossible for this movie to hit the streets.
As long as you don't hit the streets, this kind of small-budget movie can easily recover its investment and earn several times the box office.
Wang Dawen actually doesn't have much ambition, and this first movie, limited by investment and preliminary preparation, does have a bit of a congenital deficiency, it can only be regarded as decent, not a very good work.
If you want to make a big hit, it's still unlikely.
So, his mentality is very flat.
However, he didn't expect that his mentality was flat, but the mentality of Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao suddenly became uneven.
"What? Reshoot some of ......the footage? I ...... "My crew is disbanded!"
The crew and most of the actors have gone home for the New Year, only some of the more important actors have not yet returned, and they plan to attend the premiere and carry out some promotional activities at that time.
At this time, he received a call from Fu Wenyao, saying that he wanted to reshoot some of the shots, and Wang Dawen was going crazy.
"I said Mr. Fu, you don't know how troublesome it is to reshoot, now at this time, we have to reshoot, re-edit, and re-submit for review, and this time is not enough at all......" Wang Dawen felt that he was going to pour out all his bitter guts.
Then he heard Fu Wenyao say a few words on the other side, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "What? Xiaobai and you want to make a cameo?"
Wang Dawen simulated it in his mind for a few seconds, and then slapped his thigh suddenly: "Okay, then I'll reshoot!
In the movie "Goodbye, Boy", with Gu Xiaobai's cameo and without Gu Xiaobai's cameo, it is completely different.
Think about the news of Gu Xiaobai's first electrocution, what kind of reaction will Xiaobai's fans have?
Doesn't that crowd the movie theater?
The box office is less to say doubled!
What if you don't squeeze the first day of the Lunar New Year?
"It has to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Why are you in such a hurry...... All right...... I see......"
Wang Dawen sighed, if it is released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the time will be really tight, Wang Dawen quickly gathered all the main creative staff and rushed to Dongyuan University to have a movie viewing party with Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao.
The story of "Goodbye, Boy" is simple.
The main characters of the story are three people, two men and one woman.
One is Wang Xuan, a boy who is rebellious and likes to play in a band, because he failed the college entrance examination, his parents dropped his guitar and entered the repeat class.
One is Mu Ne, a cautious boy Ding Xuanmu, who failed the college entrance examination because he was too nervous in the last exam and had to fight World War II.
At the time of repetition, the two of them became at the same table.
In front of the two people, there was a girl sitting named Liu Zhixin.
Liu Zhixin is a top student at school, but he missed the exam last year because of a serious illness and had to repeat it.
Wang Xuan and Ding Xuanmu have completely different personalities, hobbies, and styles, and the two people don't like each other, and there are many contradictions between them, but they gradually understand each other, run in with each other, and become good friends.
In that boring and high-pressure environment, the two people help each other and develop affection...... Ahh
Every day after school, the two of them would say to each other, "Goodbye, boy." ”
After a series of simple encounters, both of them fell in love with the female student bully Liu Zhixin, but Ding Xuanmu was wooden by nature and did not dare to confess, so he finally mustered up the courage and confided his heart to his good brother Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan decided to give up his feelings and fulfill Ding Xuanmu.
Wang Xuan claims that he has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and he changes a dozen girlfriends a week, but in fact he is also a junior brother in love, he flipped through a book of "Chasing Girls Cheats", and helped Ding Xuanmu with a lot of tricks, but Ding Xuanmu, who is timid and timid, is full of jokes when he executes it, and many tricks themselves are unreliable, making countless oolongs, almost burning down the classroom......
Until the end of the review class and the two of them finished the college entrance examination, Liu Zhixin didn't even know that there were two boys who took great pains for her.
After the college entrance examination, the two looked at Liu Zhixin's high results, glanced at each other, then sighed, put their arms on each other's shoulders and left.
Walking to the school gate, the two men got on their bikes and said to each other, "Goodbye, boy." ”
Then the two bikes went away.
The story is simple, there are no cancers, car accidents, abortions, polyamorous ......
It shows the simple and pure stories of high school students.
The cameos of Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao cannot destroy the main structure of the story, and at this time, it is too late to change the structure of the story.
After discussion, the two decided to add cameos to the side line of the story.
In the story, in the first ten minutes, Wang Xuan and Ding Xuanmu looked at each other unpleasantly, in fact, this process lasted for the entire first half of the semester, and on New Year's Day, the school invited a well-known rock band to participate in the school's New Year's Day party and sang a song on the redemption.
At this time, Fu Wenyao brought his "white or black" to the stage and made a cameo appearance in this performance.
After watching the band's performance, Wang Xuan was stimulated, and he told Ding Xuanmu that he didn't want to take the college entrance examination, and he decided to form a band with his friends to participate in the talent show.
also told Ding Xuanmu that he was going to make a lot of money.
"I sing better than them, they can all be famous, why can't I be famous?" Wang Xuan was very unhappy.
In fact, there was no such scene here, it was Wang Xuan who finally couldn't stand the boring repetition life and wanted to skip school.
With the addition of this scene, the whole story becomes a lot more reasonable.
Especially when the girls in the school cheered excitedly and shouted Fu Wenyao's name, it touched Wang Xuan's heart, and he also wanted to be a star.
Unexpectedly, Ding Xuanmu, as Wang Xuan's tablemate, told the teacher about Wang Xuan's plan, and the teacher notified Wang Xuan's parents.
Wang Xuan and Ding Xuanmu had a fight, and then after some things, the two met with a smile and became good friends.
This is the position at the beginning, just in time to join the song "Bad Boy", which is very suitable for Wang Xuan's character.
And Gu Xiaobai's cameo was placed near the last position.
All of Ding Xuanmu's confession plans failed, and the college entrance examination was about to be taken, the two of them were lost and frustrated, and they were under great pressure, so they went out to play games together.
The two men sneaked away from the school and saw someone singing under a street lamp on the road.
At this time, it was Gu Xiaobai who brought a few people from 306 to the field.
At this time, Ding Xuanmu said to Wang Xuan: "How are they singing?"
"I think it's very good...... Wang Xuan said.
"Do you think they sing better than you?"
"Much better than I can sing......"
"They can only sing outside, do you think you can really succeed?"
Wang Xuan squatted next to him and listened for a long time, sighed, and said, "You're right......
Then he took out the money that two people were going to play games in an Internet café, and then said to 306 who made a cameo: "My buddy is out of love, and I'm a little unhappy today, can you sing him a song?"
At this time, Wang Haixia came out with a poisonous tongue: "What kind of broken love? is it the kind of broken love that is in love, or the kind that is broken out of love without love?"
Wang Xuan was furious: "Why do you talk so much, don't sing it, give me back the money!"
"Well, it seems that there is no love for the kind of ......"
Then they sang "One Hundred Days."
This "One Hundred Days" is Ding Xuanmu's character theme song.
And after listening to "One Hundred Days", Wang Xuan snatched the guitar and sang on the side of the road, he pulled Ding Xuanmu to sing with him, and the two of them sang on the side of the road until Ding Xuanmu, who had a hoarse voice and a wooden personality, was so indulgent in front of people for the first time and broke through himself.
Before Wang Xuan and Ding Xuanmu left, Wang Haixia continued to play his poisonous nature and told Wang Xuan: "Your singing is too bad, fortunately you didn't go to the draft." ”
Then he was punched by Wang Xuan, and the two of them turned around and ran.
This catharsis made the psychology of both people change, and finally, both of them were able to calmly meet the exam and meet the fateful exam.
But before the exam, both of them finally forgave themselves and reconciled with their former selves, immature selves.
They can already accept their achievements, their future.
This is also the underlying theme expressed in this film.
A song "Bad Boy" and a song "One Hundred Days" happen to coincide with the two protagonists.
It is also a certain psychological turn between the two people.
After adding this, Wang Dawen found that the whole story became a lot smoother.
Although this is a very youthful, simple, and even a little depressing story.
But it also has the innocence, enthusiasm, and beautiful dreams and growth of a teenager.
And those regrets in youth.
Moreover, the dark lines, which were originally a little obscure and not very outstanding, have also become clear.
There is even a feeling of being reborn.
It took three days to reshoot, and then the clip was edited and added to the reshoot, and Wang Dawen quickly ran to resubmit it for review.
Fortunately, Hao Fanbai still has some connections, and now Gu Xiaobai's influence, the re-submission for review is quite smooth, and it was finally released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
When reshooting the shot, Wang Dawen found that when Gu Xiaobai faced the camera, his acting skills were super poor!
Fortunately, 306 has a drama spirit Wang Haixia, he can be said to be the acting director of 306, and almost all the rival scenes are Wang Haixia's responsibility.
Seeing Wang Haixia's poisonous tongue in front of the camera, and then when he was knocked down by Wang Xuan with a punch, Wang Dawen himself burst into laughter.
However, Gu Xiaobai doesn't need to act, as long as the camera shows Gu Xiaobai's most handsome side.
After the review was passed, Wang Dawen quickly let people edit out a trailer.
In fact, it is too late to release the trailer at this time, and the trailers of other companies have almost exhausted all the wonderful pictures in the entire movie.
But this trailer quickly dominated the hot search.
""Goodbye, Boy" released a new trailer, Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao both made cameos!"
"Bai Mo listens to Xia and non-white is black, two top groups, will sing the theme song "Bad Boy" and "One Hundred Days" of "Goodbye, Boy" in the movie!"
The trailer begins with Wang Xuan wanting to escape and being caught by the teacher, and then Wang Xuan and Ding Xuanmu fight.
Next to it is Ding Xuanmu's narration.
"At that time, I never thought that I would become friends with this person who bullied me......"
"With his help, I decided to confess to the girl I liked......"
Then there are all kinds of funny and unlucky remixes.
"Actually, I suddenly felt that he didn't treat me as a friend at all, he was just taking revenge on me at all!"
Then Wang Xuan shouted: "I have already used the power of the wilderness to help you!
The picture of Fu Wenyao and Gu Xiaobai singing flashed back in the middle of these scenes, accompanied by the music mix of the two songs, which accounted for more than ten seconds of footage.
Then the narrator continues: "Actually, sometimes, it's not that you don't work hard, but ...... Some things just can't be. ”
On the screen, Wang Xuan and Ding Xuanmu held their hands together: "Young man, come on!"
Then, the two of them walked down the street together, and the slow motion with the rousing music of "Bad Boy" was cool.
At this moment, Wang Haixia's poisonous tongue arrived.
The king turned around and punched him: "Shut up!"
With a click, the screen went black, and large words appeared on the screen.
"Whose youth has no regrets?"
"In this world, not everything has to have a result. ”
""Goodbye, Boy", will be released sincerely on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
At the end, there are two lines of large letters:
"Gu Xiaobai (Bai Mo Tingxia), Fu Wenyao (either white or black) made cameo appearances......"
Then the voiceover: "Wait, Xiaobai, why is your name in front of me?
The screen is completely dark.
