Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Wave of Publicity

There is a saying: film is the art of the director, TV series is the art of the screenwriter, and drama is the art of the actor.

Although it is a little one-sided, there is still a reason. Because the movie has to tell a story or feelings, the director is the one who decides the final direction of the story.

This is not the case with TV dramas, which mainly rely on plot and dialogue, and the script is particularly important. In the early years, who played in Jin Yong's drama was popular, this is the truth.

"Breaking the Sky" also has such potential, because the pinnacle of Chinese Xianxia dramas is still "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 05. Although a lot of films have been filmed later, the messy plot with the addition of Wumao special effects, Xianxia dramas are about to become synonymous with "thunder dramas".

However, Lu Lin's version of "Dou Po" follows the original work, but while it is expected by many original parties, it has also been criticized by some netizens for the embarrassing plot.

But in Lu Lin's opinion, the section from the beginning to the destruction of Yunlan Sect is still good, at least in 11 years, with the plot and strength of the original work to restore the special effects to fight, it should not be difficult to have a wave of fire. No matter how you talk about it, it's better than the conscience of those Xianxia dramas with five-cent special effects!

But it's hard to say in a few years, because "Dou Po" is awesome and plays the routine of pretending to be forced to slap the face. Unlike the "Buddha Book", which created the "torrent of wilderness", the power lies in reshaping the structure and power system of traditional Chinese mythology.

The difference between the two is an inappropriate analogy, as if one sells a product and the other sells a standard.

The amazing electronic products of a few years ago will eventually become obsolete after a long time. But when an industry standard is formulated, it will not be able to break it in a short time.

The embarrassment of "Dou Po" is that its most awesome thing is the routine, but this thing is too good a copycat. Not to mention learning ten out of ten, it's still easy to imitate seven or eight points, six or seven points.

When the routine of "Dou Po" swept the Internet, authors from singularity to various large and small websites wrote "Golden Three Chapters" intentionally or unintentionally, and the pretending routines of divorce and breakup, the initiator's "Dou Po" was despised.

The "Buddha Book" is different, it sells "standards", which opens up the torrent. Latecomers either write within the framework it sets, and it is difficult for them to reach the heights of the Buddha's text. or find another way to reshape the desolate universe, but they often die at the beginning.

However, there is a time lag between online literature and film and television dramas, and martial arts novels have been in decline for many years, but the mainland's Jin Yong dramas are still filmed again and again. The routine of "Dou Po" has been written badly in the online article, but it is still a fresh force in film and television dramas. After all, the audience for online articles in 11 years is far less than that in a few years.

On the set of "Breaking the Sky", filming is still continuing. Han Dongjun, who appeared on the stage, performed well, and he played Xiao Yan who looked handsome and had a calm temperament, and he actually passed it in one bit.

The scenes after that are also very smooth, basically one episode in three days, a very common progress. If it's a one-week episode, it's quite a high demand.

TV dramas are commercial, just like online creation, and everything has a routine. What kind of scene uses what kind of lighting, it's very patterned. Generally, directors and cinematographers are not too picky, and at most adjust the lighting angle according to the actors.

In most scenes, the photography is a three-camera, "front and back shots" plus a panorama, the mode is very efficient. At the same time, the crew of "Dou Po" is divided into AB groups to shoot at the same time, which can speed up the progress.

Time has passed to the end of August, and when the filming of the "Dou Po" crew is in full swing, Bo Na also began to promote "Ten Cold" on a large scale, of course, the current name is "The Alliance of Gods".

Although the finished film has not yet been seen, Bona's box office expectation for the film is tentatively set at 1.2 billion. The publicity budget should be 120 million, which will be jointly funded by Longlin, Bona, and China Film in proportion.

The first wave of publicity was to vigorously hype the concept of Chinese sci-fi blockbusters, and Bo Nafang contacted several media to interview Lu Lin together.

At this time, Lu Lin didn't hesitate, throwing off his arms and bragging. There is no way, the Chinese film market is so bad. Ninety percent of a movie's revenue depends on the box office, and the box office harvest period is generally only about two weeks.

"Well, the movie "Alliance of the Gods" is a relatively funny sci-fi blockbuster!"

Lu Lin only said one sentence, and the female reporter of Whoosh Tiger Network asked: "Director Lu, can you say exactly, is the main selling point of this film sci-fi or funny?"

In her mind, if it was science fiction, it was estimated that the special effects could be done better. If it's mainly funny, I'm afraid it will be a pseudo-sci-fi film like "Cyborg". After all, in Chinese movies, there has never been such a genre as science fiction.

"Well, the whole film is still based on sci-fi special effects, and being funny is just some elements that are just right to make the characters more vivid, otherwise it will look very boring!"

A reporter from Xinlang.com asked: "Director Lu, can I take the liberty of asking? The name of your film has been changed to "The Alliance of Gods", and there will be no conflict between immortals and science fiction?"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "The gods in this are different from the gods in traditional Chinese culture. The universe in the movie is guarded by the four gods, and there are many civilized planets between the stars, some of which have developed modern civilizations, while others are in the feudal era. ”

Several reporters glanced at each other, and agreed with Lu Lin's statement, so they asked about the creative concept.

Lu Lin is boasting, what to fill a gap in Chinese films, the first domestic sci-fi blockbuster. In terms of special effects, the Hollywood team is asked to deal with it, and the production cost has been exceeded again and again, and now it is as high as 300 million (falsely reported).

Hearing several reporters dumbfounded, special effects have always been known as a penny. The total production cost is as high as 300 million, and the plot and style are put aside, and the special effects should not be pitted.

Thinking of this, several reporters were also a little excited. The reporter of the Whooshing Tiger remembered "The Legend of the White Snake" released in the same schedule, and asked: "Director Lu, Hua Yi is responsible for the release of "The Legend of the White Snake", which is also scheduled for the National Day early, and it is even starring your senior brother Mr. Li Yangzhong, what do you think about this?"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "My senior brother is a very good actor, he has never acted in a bad movie since the movie, and the quality of this film must not be bad." And I heard that the production cost of "The Legend of the White Snake" reached 200 million, so presumably the box office will be good!"

Even if it is competition in the same class, it cannot be clearly slandered. In another time and space, the battle between "White Snake" and "Painted Wall" was completed by the water army. I don't know what kind of play will be between the "Naval Governors" of the two sides this year, but the two will not unite and play with his "Heavenly God Alliance"!
