Chapter 1251: The Ultimate Trailer
"Silence" is set for Christmas.
Two weeks before that, Layla released the final trailer for the final version.
The new trailer has a little more stuff than the old one, and after watching it, fans suddenly feel that this movie may not be just a simple adventure action movie as they imagined, and maybe there is something deeper hidden in it. Because at the end of the trailer, two huge seabirds rise in the wind, but in the end they go their separate ways.
In Leila's habit, every frame of her is telling the story, and there has never been that kind of indifferent and watery shot. So when the seabirds flew away in that way, fans who saw the trailer wondered in their hearts whether it was what happened to the two protagonists in the movie.
The trailer is not easy to cut.
If it is not cut well, it will not attract audiences, and it will not get the box office. But if you cut all the wonderful shots in, there will be a danger of spoilers. And if the trailer is too exciting, it will make people who have watched the film feel cheated. A trailer turned out to be the best part of the movie, who will give the movie a good reputation?
In this regard, Leila has done a good job. Not only release some shots that will attract the audience, but also not leak all the wonderful parts. Even director Nolan once chased her for a trailer, which shows that her level is absolutely top-notch.
Finally, the trailer was released, and fans and fans watched it for the first time.
At the beginning of the first version of the trailer, in order to retain the suspense, Leila only released Zhang Guorong's back and did not give him a frontal shot. After the second edition, his true face of Lushan was released.
So the second version is the most popular trailer among fans, especially those over Asia.
The final trailer naturally has to add some dry goods to it, otherwise not to mention that fans will protest, fans of several actors will also scream and chase after it.
The trailer begins with a crumbling plane. It was a plane that didn't look big, and many of the people inside obviously knew that something was wrong, and everyone was yelling, and some even tried to open the hatch and jump in.
Then the camera pans into a reef-strewn beach, with debris of planes strewn everywhere, and in front of you are a knife-like cliff with seabirds landing or taking off.
The camera changes again, and a string of footprints appears on the beach, and Roy's figure appears at the end of the footprints. And in front of him, there was another person.
The next plot is easier to understand, the two people encountered a lot of dangers on this uninhabited island, and finally survived hand in hand. Until the end of the two flying seabirds, the trailer came to an abrupt end and became a black curtain. The names of the two leading actors flashed in the rousing music. And at the end, the words "Leila Moran" appear on the screen so heavily that it is impossible to ignore the power of a name.
The response to this ultimate trailer has been overwhelming.
"When I saw Leila's name, I thought it must be a good movie, and I was going to go to the cinema anyway. ”
"Roy is very handsome, and that oriental man is also very attractive, and their acting skills are really good, and they don't feel like they're acting at all. It's as if they're looking at their own lives. ”
"Originally, I didn't trust the Oriental as one of the male leads, but I was relieved when I saw the trailer. As a person personally chosen by Leila, he has a special temperament, very mysterious and very dazzling. Even standing by Roy's side can't be ignored. ”
There is a lot of enthusiasm for trailers on the western side, and even more enthusiasm on the eastern side.
For them, no matter how handsome Roy is, he can't be handsome Zhang Guorong, he is the most powerful superstar in everyone's hearts. So when they saw his performance in the trailer, his fans were very happy for him.
"There's only a little bit of it and I can't see much, but I think the 'brother' in this movie is different from the past. There is a feeling that the edge will be revealed. All in all very cool!"
"I feel the same way! I also felt that there was something different just now, and I watched the trailer several times but didn't find it. When you say it, you find out that it is indeed like that!"
"Director Moran has always been respected by people in the Hollywood film industry for teaching actors, look at the several actresses she has cultivated, it seems that every actor can be tapped out of the better side under her. Anyway, I've been hooked on the 'brother' in the trailer, and now my screensaver is a screenshot from the trailer. ”
"Screenshot as screensaver +1."
“+2”
“……”
+ ID number. ”
Those enthusiastic responses were exactly what Leila needed. She already knew how well-known Zhang Guorong was in Asia. It's not so much that he's become a world-class star with her films, but that she's using his fame in Asia to tap into more box office potential.
In recent years, Hollywood has also been cooperating more and more with the East. Because there are a number of Hollywood films introduced every year, many film companies have adopted the method of cooperative shooting to capture the box office market in the East in a different way. Companies that have not filmed cooperation will also invite some popular stars to play a few dispensable small roles, and even make a special version of the East.
Fooling people like this, Layla was not optimistic about it from the beginning. Michael Bay once came to her specifically to ask for advice, and she also gave a very clear answer.
"Never take the audience for a fool. That's what she always says. "Orientals would be happy to see their idols appear in Hollywood movies, but definitely not those dispensable roles, which would only make them feel despised and treated as fools. If you want to use Oriental people as the key to open the Oriental market, you must be sincere. For the sake of the box office, it's best to give them more scenes. ”
Leila doesn't expect to change the minds of all directors, nor does she think that in a short period of time Orientals can appear in large numbers on the Hollywood stage. But she also has something she can do, that is, at least in her company, there will be more resources leaning towards oriental actors.
Therefore, this movie must not fail, as long as "Silence" succeeds, so that people in the Hollywood film industry can see the energy that Orientals can bring, as well as their influence in the East, and the box office they bring, they can use money to knock open the brains of those old antiques.
Didn't they invest in movies just to make money? In the past, they thought that Oriental people could not bring them benefits, so they were not very interested in Oriental people and even Chinese actors. As soon as they see the benefits that the Chinese ethnic group can bring, even if they are forced to do so with a gun, they will smile and put the best role in the hands of the Orientals.
