Chapter 346: Plum Blossoms Bloom
"Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity......!
It is the Lunar New Year, the whole land of China is filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere, the annual Wuhan East Lake Plum Blossom Festival has opened a few days ago, the East Lake Plum Garden is blooming plum blossoms, the pale pink plum blossoms bloom at the end of the cold winter, and the green grass on the ground is very beautiful. On this day, there are not only tourists who go to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, but also the "Firefly" photography team who came to the beautiful plum blossoms.
Entering February, "Firefly" also launched the last online viral marketing in the publicity plan as scheduled, and the trailer spoof contest!
"We allow event participants to use Flame Group's film and TV footage, and we hope that while promoting Firefly, users can have a better experience with other film and television productions. Flame Films spokesperson Foona Hasson told fans through the media that she revealed that this event can give audiences a deeper understanding of the content of these films and the company's brand image, which is very beneficial to the DVD promotion of "Firefly" and other films, and hopes that other companies can be more tolerant, or hold the same event for netizens to have a carnival.
OF COURSE, THEY WILL NOT GIVE UP THE COPYRIGHT OF THE ENTIRE MOVIE AND TV SERIES, AND THE CURRENT EVENT ONLY ALLOWS THE TRAILER IN THE FORMAT OF "FIREFLY" AND THEN UPLOAD IT TO YOUTUBE.
Flame Movies naturally doesn't expect other entertainment companies to relax their copyrights and let them do the publicity, but they also try to make things bigger, and the more out of control, the better! But some things can only rely on a chain reaction, they start a start, and the netizens will do the rest. The distribution department has brought in the likes of Damian Haag, Gavin Richmond and others, all of whom are enthusiasts and experts at making spoof videos, and they will complete the first wave of spoof trailers for the Flame film version.
"One thing you have to know, she's a very dangerous person, and she holds some secrets that you shouldn't know......"
After Fantastic Young uploaded eight spoof trailers, the latest "Ice Age" version, "Sweetheart" version, "Saw Horror" version, and "Big Bang Theory" version appeared on YouTube, Shoyourself and other video sites one after another...... Fans and netizens finally understand the true intention of the spoof trailers, watching this funny trailer one by one, it's really fun and attractive! And under the silent push of the flames, their clicks and circulation are growing day by day, but there is still a way to go before the outbreak.
These promotional tricks will undoubtedly increase the popularity of "Firefly" and Wang Yang, and one of the specific manifestations is the popularity of Google searches.
Recently, Google announced the top 10 hot keywords in 2004, Britney Spears, who got married and divorced in a flash, ranked first, Pariss Hilton, the daughter of a wealthy family who became popular because of the ** videotape, ranked second, and Christina Aguilera, a popular diva, ranked third. Wang Yang, who has no movie releases, did not enter the top 10 of the overall list, but ranked third in the category of male stars, and the top two are Orlando Bloom and Tom Cruise, both of whom are "rich, powerful, and attractive" golden bachelors.
DIRECTOR, IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE IT INDUSTRY, MARRIAGE, YOUTUBE...... In fact, just look at "Prison Break" and "The Big Bang Theory" to know why they ranked first and third in the TV series category respectively. Although Wang Yang considers himself a director, he is no longer all a director or producer, but an idol.
However, in Chinese mainland, Wang Yang is far from being a household name, especially without new film dynamics means forgetting, at least in the search ranking is far behind, no matter Google, Baidu's top ten Chinese keywords are nameless, Dao Lang took the first place in the two lists, Jay Chou, Lin Xinru, Guo Jingjing and others are among the best, even among young people, there are still many people who don't know who Wang Yang is, let alone the slightly older people, so in the past two days, Wang Yang led a team to shoot in Wuhan East Lake, shopping to celebrate the New Year, and no one recognized this great director.
If Jessica accompanies him, the probability of Wang Yang being recognized should be multiplied several times, after all, the return rate of beauties is higher, and they are more able to attract attention;
Although the "commemoration event" full of dramatic conflicts was very happy at the time, it was not surprising afterwards that Wang Yang was beaten and beaten by Jessica as a punishment for bad taste, but despite this, he still had a very, very happy birthday a few days ago, and is now a 25-year-old man.
"The plum and the snow are three points white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum! Wow, this poem is amazing......
It is a good season and good weather to enjoy the plum blossoms, under the blue sky, there are no more and no less, walking in the plum blossom forest with the fragrance of flowers, watching the pink plum blossoms all around, reaching out from time to time to catch the petals that are drifting, chanting two ancient poems, Wang Yang is really in a comfortable mood, cheerful mood, he carefully pondered what other Yongmei poems, fortunately in the last year or two there has been some research and review before departure, he suddenly thought: "There is! I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I am jealous of the ......"
"Scattered into mud and dust. The breeze blew, and he caught a spinning petal and sniffed deeply: "Only the fragrance is the same." Haha, awesome!"
The crew has completed all the framing work, and without considering the possible reshoots, "Firefly" is officially 100% complete! These beautiful plum blossoms will be used as one of the materials to form an important scene in Taiji City. Valley Pfister and others returned to Los Angeles with the film, but Wang Yang wanted to play for a few more days before leaving, and it was the first time to celebrate the New Year in China, and he was attracted by the strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and he sang in a rough voice the song that he could always hear on the streets and shopping malls: "The first snow ...... in 2002"
When the first snow fell in 2002, Wang Yang estimated that he was 21 years old, maybe 22 years old, and the situation at work was similar to now, "District 9" was completed, and he quickly prepared for the production of "The Hangover", and the "Kung Fu Panda" project that year was about to be released worldwide in May, and he and Jessica came to Asia to watch the South Korea-Japan World Cup, and set foot on Chinese soil for the first time; and now again, 25 years old is even more crazy than 22 years old...... "Hmm?" Wang Yang suddenly thought that the whole person seems to be a little crazy recently, and always likes to be in the limelight, is it because the baby is coming, his rebellious gene is rebounding? Will be the panic of being a father? So thinking about it, it seems to be true, surrounded by these sprout-like white plum blossoms, the trace of anxiety hidden under the momentum is more obvious, which makes him take a deep breath, the fragrance of flowers makes the mind feel uplifted, in March, Jessica will recover for almost half a year, according to the family plan, she is going to get pregnant, then the baby will be born at the end of the year.
Wang Yang frowned and walked towards the lake, he lost his mood of singing the wind and the moon, he didn't like the baby, on the contrary, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but what does the arrival of the child mean? What changes will happen in life? Can you still be crazy, can you have occasional indulgences...... Whether a good cop or a bad cop, responsibility or evasion of responsibility, everything will only be known the moment you hold the baby. But now it's like two Wang Yang are fighting in their hearts, one is happily saying, "Wow, I'm going to be a father at the end of the year, I'm so happy!" and the other kept repeating coldly: "Is that it! I ask you, is that it?"
"WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? WHAT ARE YOU NOT WILLING TO DO? WHAT ARE YOU NOT SATISFIED WITH WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? WHAT ARE YOU CLINGING TO? LET THEM GO!!" WANG YANG, WHO EMITTED RED LIGHT, SPOKE AGAIN, AND WANG YANG, WHO EMITTED BLUE LIGHT, IMMEDIATELY SNEERED: "IS THAT IT? I ASK YOU, IS THAT IT?" THIS TIME HE ADDED ANOTHER SENTENCE: "YOU UPLOAD THE VIDEO TO YOUTUBE, DO YOU WANT HELEN TO SEE IT, DO YOU WANT OTHER GIRLS TO SEE IT?" AND SAY, 'YAN, YOU GUYS ARE SO HAPPY!' DON'T YOU THINK IT'S UNFAIR TO JESSICA? What do you say, bastard!"
Red Light Wang Yang also sneered: "I have long let go of Helen, let go of those messy anger, you didn't let go! I love Jessica, it's as simple as that! You fuck! It's that you always want to do bastard things, always want to complicate things, always want to destroy, what are you afraid of? What do you want?" Blu-ray Wang Yang said: "I love Jessica too, you don't understand! I want you to get out of here, everything is in my hands, it's my time!" Red Light Wang Yang smiled: "Your time has long run out! It's still in the last century, and you're finished." "...... "That's enough, shut up for me!" Wang Yang shook his head self-deprecatingly, and continued to walk along the lake, knowing that the person who fused red and blue light was himself, and the degree of complex contradictions of a person was often not fully understood by himself.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a man standing by the lake in front of him who seemed to hesitate to jump in, and Wang Yang instinctively shouted: "Hey, hey, comrade, what are you doing?" After walking around East Lake for two or three days, it was the first time he had seen such a suspicious person. The young round-faced man in the overcoat turned his head to look at this side, and immediately shouted like crazy: "Go away! Don't come here!" Wang Yang was stunned when he heard this, can't he go this way? The director has a skill that is super observation, and after looking at the round-faced man a few times, he immediately understood: "You want to kill yourself? Now the New Year! You want to kill yourself? Oh my God......
It turns out that today's East Lake Plum Blossom Festival held activities include the "Plum as the Matchmaker" blind date conference, these activities are also Wang Yang's lively in the past few days, this round-faced man because he just fell out of love a few days ago, today is really touching the scene, and he can't imagine that he really wants to commit suicide for a while.
The dispute between Wang Yang and the round-faced man immediately attracted some people nearby to come over and point and watch, and a few old men and aunts helped to persuade: "Young man, look away!", "Think more about your parents." "You're stupid to think like that. Seeing that the man's intention to die was not very resolute, even if he jumped into the water, he could be saved, Wang Yang was not in a hurry, he first called 110 to report the case, and then called Natalie, asking how to persuade the lovelorn suicide...... Come here, comrade, what's your name?"
Natalie said that persuasion is best carried out in the form of dialogue, and that it is important not to argue with the suicidal person, preach and evaluate sarcasm, etc., this kind of reverse operation is very dangerous! Do not say things like the old people next to him, "everything will be fine", "don't look away" and have no substance; let the suicidal person open his mouth to relieve his pressure and mood.
The round-faced man didn't answer, and sighed blankly: "Why did you leave me...... Ignoring the crowd of onlookers, Wang Yang immediately asked again: "I don't know what? What is it like to fall out of love?" The round-faced man's attitude was still unrelenting: "You don't understand." ”
"Then you'd be wrong. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes up in recollection: "I haven't fallen out of love? I have fallen out of love four times! The first time, I was 12 years old, except for losing my first kiss, it didn't mean much, I refused to admit that it was my first love. "Several old men and aunts were frightened for a while, this young man was talking to someone at the age of 12? The round-faced man was also stunned, I had never seen such a persuasive person, his first love at the age of 12? It was only the fifth grade, nonsense! But he was quite handsome...... Wang Yang continued to confide: "That time I may not understand, the second time, in fact, it is not very good, don't mention it; the third time, middle school, that is a girl with a lot of personality, playing in a band, rebellious, beautiful, I finally chased her down, I was really obsessed with her at that time!" The old men and aunts were already watching him blankly, thinking about these past events, Wang Yang shook his head and sighed self-deprecatingly: "I am like this, maybe you are like this, if you really like someone, you will be all involved, I am so obsessed with her!" I gave up a lot, a lot, and I even put down my Super Eight and picked up an idiot guitar!
"And then?" asked a young girl in the crowd of onlookers, Wang Yang exhaled, glanced at her, and then stretched out her hands to the blue sky: "She thinks I'm old-fashioned, I don't play my guitar well, she listened to her band friends, dumped me, I will never forget her sentence 'we are not suitable'! I don't know how to fit in, I am willing to do almost anything for her, OK, that was the first time I was dumped! Later, I also did a bad thing, so that her friends made a fool of herself in public, haha!" A bunch of self-righteous idiots. ”
That year, there was a girl with a guitar on her back who shouted frantically: "Wang Yang, I'll kill you!!"
In this small overcrowded place by the lake, everyone's attention is no longer on the suicide, even the round-faced man can listen attentively, Wang Yang pinched his forehead and said: "That broken love hit me hard, really, I think that is my first love." I told myself that I couldn't fall in love with this kind of personality girl anymore, and that I wouldn't do the stupid thing of letting go of Super Eight again. ANOTHER YOUNG GIRL WITH LONG HAIR AND GLASSES ASKED, "WHAT IS A SUPER EIGHT?" WANG YANG GESTURED, "IT'S A KIND OF HOME CAMERA, USING 8MM FILM." ”
"But soon," he said, "I fell in love with another type of girl, smart, assertive, neat, almost no skirts, and nothing dependent on you, and sometimes very gentle, and smiling sweetly, maybe just a means to make you happy." She wants to control me, and I want to control her, and then everyone fights back and forth to see who can survive and play to death, which is fun. Then ......"
"Dumped you again?" The round-faced man took the initiative to ask, Wang Yang nodded, shook his head again, and sighed with a smile: "We played smashed, we all played each other to death! She said to me, 'Go die!' Now I'm married." Seeing him light up the ring, the old man and the old aunt suddenly realized that he was a young man who had married early! Several young girls suddenly felt a little sorry that a handsome guy had fallen like this!
"But when I first fell out of love, this time it was even more serious than my first love, it was much more serious! I was a crazy person during that time. ”
Wang Yang couldn't help but wipe his hair with both hands, it was the time when the blue light Wang Yang was in charge, scanning everyone, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "You know that I have reached the university of my dreams for many years, but the person I love has left you! I don't understand that feeling? Don't be kidding! It seems that something is dead, the whole world has abandoned you, there is no point in doing anything, frustrated, helpless, annoyed, sometimes very embarrassing, any negative emotions are good, it is really more uncomfortable than death! Walking on the road seems that everyone is so annoying and so MEAN! Sometimes I really think, let this earth explode, I don't want anything, I don't want her to come back to me, I don't want a new girlfriend, just let this earth explode!
That year, at the USC Alumni Park in Los Angeles, Wang Yang confronted several of his peers and laughed: "How is it? I don't like it? Do you want to fight? Come on, come on!" The boy who was provoked by him held back his anger: "You're a madman!" They were discussing the movie in a good way, and a madman came to the end to make a noise, is it a freshman this year? One of the girls couldn't help but scold: "Neurotic! Go away!"
"I'm laughing to death!" Wang Yang whistled, but didn't walk away: "Someone actually said that special effects ruined the movie, hey girl, is this really USC? I thought I really went to the Ivy, a bunch of nerds! He smiled and pointed at the annoyed boy, "Man, do you still want to be cool in front of beautiful women? Do you think that if you deliberately say this kind of idiotic opinion, people will say that you are handsome? This is really not as good as saying that the Golden Age is the best! Then you may still be a silent movie supporter, and the advent of sound movies is a kind of destruction, Chaplin is funny, right?"
"He's crazy!" the boy snorted angrily, but he didn't want to argue more, he just talked about special effects and other topics, but this guy couldn't talk about this guy, he turned around and walked quickly: "Let's go!"
Wang Yang shook his head, looked at the crowd of onlookers and the round-faced man who committed suicide, and suddenly laughed: "This kind of anger that burns everything makes me almost mess up everything! Why is this? I understand that falling out of love can be like this, and even want to burn myself up and destroy it! But brother, comrade, is this really good? Old-fashioned words, uh, there is no grass at the end of the world? Haven't I broken my love four times before I walk with my current wife? Of course I won't allow the fifth time to happen. But you ......," he said earnestly, "single women all over the world are waiting for you! ”
"I don't like other people, so I want her to ......" The round-faced man still sighed, although he had no more determination, this man had some point. He was thinking about something, when he was suddenly restrained by a few Plum Festival security guards who finally arrived, twisted his body and shouted: "Let go of me, ignore me!"
The old man and the old lady and the other onlookers were relieved and were about to leave, but Wang Yang angrily went away, since this guy was caught by his hands and feet, and he was operating in reverse! He scolded angrily: "I don't know what happened to you! Why did she get rid of you, but I told you! I tell you! You can either go and pursue her again and let her come back to you; or you can fucking muster up the courage to face the reality, look like a man, and then go to find a girlfriend! Do you want to be happy? You can just be angry, can you just commit suicide? Wake up!FUCK-YOU!Suicide in the New Year?FUCK-YOU!If I had a bad temper a few years ago, I would have kicked you down, and if you wanted to come up, I would kick you down again and drown you!FUCK!You can do it yourself......"
"......" The old men and aunts were all shocked, and the young people, round-faced men and security guards were also shocked, and they all looked at the tall man who was scolding and smiling and smiling and walking far away, and then came back to his senses: "Hey, this young man has a really big temper!", "I now believe that he fell in love at the age of 12, so handsome!" ...... "Hahaha!" Back in the plum blossom forest, as soon as he sat down on the grass under a plum tree, Wang Yang laughed, what are you doing! It's just that this kind of fuss and scolding, like a brainstorming, makes a lot of things clear. He leaned against the plum blossom tree and looked up, one by one, either proudly blooming or withering in the wind, what a beautiful world! These plum blossoms must be very beautiful on the big screen, and the laughter of those children...... There is no grass at the end of the world. Wang Yang thinks about his past, thinks about the present, thinks of Helen, thinks of Rachel, thinks of Natalie, and laughs from time to time, why don't you really finish "Firefly" and make a love movie like Natalie said?
The wind blew, the plum blossoms fluttered, and the corners of his mouth curled.
