Chapter 1080: The Great Liar
The trailer of "Life of Pi" is killing people all over the world, and even going to super gods!
It's not that netizens haven't seen amazing visual pictures, but they are usually not the kind that are combined with aesthetics.
Not to mention that there are a lot of shots with tigers, people are very curious, how a tiger and a teenager spend a long time in the vast Pacific Ocean, the conflict is too attractive.
The release of Warner Bros. has never been a problem, they have exhausted all kinds of methods, and even found Zhang Chu's side.
"Let me record a video of the tidbits? That's not wrong, is it?"
Zhang Chu looked at Zhou Kang who was standing in front of him, his face was full of confusion, and he didn't believe it at all.
Zhou Kang, as Zhang Chu's agent, of course wants to help expand his fame, and it is of course good to be linked to the promotion of the movie, after all, there will be more people watching the movie than others.
Not every netizen likes to read books and is willing to spend days reading. Compared to text, they prefer intuitive video language, which is concise and easy to understand, and only takes more than two hours.
"Make no mistake, and I hope you shoot two versions, in Chinese and English, to introduce your experience of the film during the production process." They will use the English version for global publicity, and the Chinese version for publicity in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which is quite large. ”
Zhou Kang added, "By the way, Director Li Yu has recorded several such behind-the-scenes footage, so you don't have to worry. ”
Zhang Chu spread out his hand and replied helplessly: "I didn't worry about this, but said that I didn't shoot any behind-the-scenes footage at all, so I went to visit the class once, and I didn't know anything about how the movie was filmed, and I couldn't tell what I had learned, so I just edited a final version of the trailer?"
"Don't worry about that, the last time you went on a visit, there were two camera shots that followed you all the time, including the footage of you being scared back by the real tiger, and the footage of you talking to Li Yu and the actor Pai and you lying on your stomach next to the pool and playing in the water, you have everything. ”
"Damn! Proper black history, if this is released, won't the whole world know that I am cowardly? I am actually afraid of a tiger in a cage. Zhang Chu shook his head and expressed strong opposition, "By the way, how did you see these videos, send me a copy." ”
"Actually, you just need to show up, it doesn't matter what you say, they can arrange for a videographer to shoot in your home or company, which will take up a few minutes of your time at most. Do you want the movie to be a bad box office?"
knew that this was motivating, but Zhang Chu still agreed and was willing to become a part of the "Youth Pi" movie publicity plan.
After all, it was sold by itself, and it can't be like the ancients said, "The daughter who marries out, spills the water", and you still have to take care of it.
"Okay, okay, I don't have classes tomorrow afternoon, you can bring them over. I hope my video can help the movie increase the box office by tens of thousands of dollars. ”
Hundreds of thousands of millions are impossible to hope for, and there is a clear concept in the film and television industry, that is, fans can't afford the box office of a movie!
To have a high box office first, you must attract passers-by into the cinema, no matter what method you use, even if it is a fraud.
Just like now, there is no scene about the final turning point in the movie trailer of "Youth Pi", it is estimated that the audience is going in for the visual effects, tigers, and the names of Li Yu and Zhang Chu, and there may be praise and complaints after watching it.
Zhou Kang laughed when he saw Zhang Chu relieved: "No problem, I'll communicate with the world right away and get them ready." By the way, how are you writing now? It should be quite tiring to write while going to school, so you should rest and rest more, and don't push yourself. ”
Recently, Hanlin Culture Media has been very busy, and he doesn't care about communicating anything with Zhang Chu, he is basically in a free-range state, and now he is taking the opportunity to understand the current situation.
At this time, it was already mid-September, and Zhang Chu had been a junior for two weeks, so of course there was nothing to talk about studying, anyway.
"I've had a lot of work lately, and I'm about to do nothing now!"
He almost forgot how long it had been since he had such an easy time, he didn't have to worry about the serialization of books, he didn't have to worry about digging holes and not filling them, he just needed to be a happy reader.
Zhou Kang crossed his fingers and asked, "Has the English version of 'The Silence of the Lambs' been translated?" The propaganda of Random House has been boiling all over the world, and every day the company receives calls from foreign readers, who knows where they got it. ”
"The translation is ready, I'm checking it now, and I'll send it to Blair later. He was embarrassed to urge me every day, and he probably waited anxiously. ”
"That's for sure. Random House is said to regard this book as the number one work to be released in the second half of this year, and the best publicity resources will be smashed upward!"
Zhang Chu then said: "I have saved many chapters of the manuscript of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and although it has only been serialized in the later stage of the South China Sea Returning to the Ruins, I still have two chapters left to finish the last volume of Wuxia Coffin Mountain. ”
Zhou Kang gasped, "Is it really good for you to write so fast? You don't need to carve it carefully? At such a quick end, it is estimated that readers will scold you for being unfinished." ”
"It's not fast, it's all being held back by the English translation. If I hadn't translated The Silence of the Lambs, I would have been able to finish blowing the lamp before school started! In December, the complete eight volumes of the Ghost Blowing Lantern will be published, which is the best New Year's gift. ”
Readers will definitely be reluctant to say goodbye to the tomb robbery of the ghost blowing the lantern, but dragging it out will only drag the masterpiece into a vulgar work, and it is best to finish it at the best stage.
In this way, Zhang Chu is really about to be liberated!
"It's over, Yida is making a movie about the Longling Grotto, and their amusement park has also started, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up with the movie premiere of Ghost Blowing Lantern 2, and the premieres of the remaining movies will definitely be placed in Yida Amusement Park to help those attractions attract popularity. ”
Zhou Kang's task today has been completed, he looked at his watch, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, so he said goodbye.
Zhang Chu lay on the deck chair in the courtyard after sending the agent away, he did not plan to take a long, long vacation, but planned to find out all the holes he dug during the week of rest, and then think about whether he could fill them.
The sinkhole of the ghost blowing lantern is finally going to be filled, but the rest of the works still have large and small places that have not been filled, so fill them in first and then write new works, otherwise you will always have to be infamy!
