Chapter 863 Propaganda Means
A luxury hotel in New York.
Li Feiteng looked at the information of the two heroes and heroines he found, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
Heroine: Ellen, a twenty-seven-year-old ordinary actor who has been in the New York film and television industry for 12 years, but is unknown.
Actor: Burt, a twenty-five-year-old young man who has been in New York for six years and is not famous at all.
The reason why the two did not succeed was that in addition to their faces, they did not meet the opportunity.
The fame of movie actors is all accidental, and there are very few who are bound to succeed.
The odds of becoming famous are no less than buying a lottery ticket and winning the lottery to become a millionaire.
Not all actors are able to find their own path as actors.
If it weren't for "Ghost Record" and Ellen and Bert were not in New York, then these two people would not have succeeded in their lifetime.
The reason is that this movie is suitable for these two people, who have a certain amount of acting skills, but they can't really become actors.
For ghosts, it is necessary to find some actors who can give people a kind of performance without leaving a trace.
Maybe the actor level can reach this realm of returning to the basics, but when an actor becomes an actor, that face represents the identity of acting.
"Ghost Shadow" is a fictional fake documentary, but in order to make the audience believe that it is true as completely as possible, it is necessary to choose the kind of actors who are ordinary people but suitable for this movie from the vast sea of people.
To put it bluntly, Li Feiteng doesn't need a real actor.
……
……
The next day, in a brand new apartment in the suburbs of New York, two large RVs were parked outside. and four or five cars.
Filming began tonight. Only one director, Li Feiteng. The two actors, as well as the bodyguards of the vigil, can begin.
even said that during the filming process, Li Feiteng could also sleep on the property.
The reason is that many of the footage is to capture the picture of the newlyweds sleeping in bed.
"King Lee, can I take a picture with you?"
Ellen came over today. She looked at the legendary young man and asked boldly.
Li Feiteng nodded and let Tang Yan take the Polaroid.
The actor Bert also followed, and the three took a group photo together.
The apartment is very ordinary, it is the apartment where ordinary people live in the magnesium country.
Li Feiteng came in and introduced all the situations in it as much as possible, so that the two of them stayed inside during the day and became familiar with the scene as quickly as possible, because people are familiar with the unfamiliar environment. There's always a feeling of not being able to let go.
After getting familiar with the environment, you can truly make this place your home. And then the true colors starred.
This movie does not need a cameraman, only the director to guide and direct the actor to hold the DV and shoot the picture.
Li Feiteng doesn't shoot with DV, the reason is that he is also a person who has made movies, and he has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, his hands will not tremble when he picks up DV, and the picture he shoots may not be the effect he wants most.
And the actor is an ordinary person, and he has not had much contact with DV, and the pictures he shoots can reflect a kind of pseudo-reality.
……
……
On the first night, I began to collect the flash footage of the ghost, which was Ellen and Burt, lying in bed and sleeping, and doing some micro-movements.
This one shot, after being cropped, will fast in and out of some night scenes.
From the second day, there were some dialogue scenes, but they were all very ordinary content in daily life.
At night, the strange sounds inside the ghost begin to come out, the dialogue of the movie, and the main line of the story begins to unfold.
The next week ended, the filming was quite smooth, and in this pseudo-documentary, there is also a picture of a tightrope hanging, this shot, it took a whole day, Bert was going to fly over the door and smash on the DV machine.
This one shot smashed three DVs before shooting the picture that Li Feiteng wanted most.
Over the weekend, the film was finished, as simple as Li Feiteng expected.
In order to ensure the success of this film, Li Feiteng took all the DV images, and the invited assistant director and producer to the company together, and used the high-configuration computer for special effects, and began to use software to cut.
In the post-production process, it only took a day and a half for "Ghost Shadow" to be done!
A five-star resort hotel on the outskirts of New York.
In a screening room, Li Feiteng and the women, as well as Ellen and Burt, assistant director Donald, and producer Bolan, all broke out in a cold sweat after watching the movie patiently.
No one thought that this seemingly simple movie could bring people so much horror and horror on the big screen.
Including Li Feiteng, after he felt it personally, he was also frightened.
In his previous life, Li Feiteng only used a computer to see the online version, because this kind of movie is impossible to release in China.
Now he has personally made the zuò out, the investment is larger, the apartment is bought, the furniture inside is bought, and the salaries of the two actors are 50,000 US dollars, and a total of 350,000 US dollars has been spent.
And "Ghost Shadow" can actually be done for just over 10,000 dollars.
Li Feiteng didn't want to do this, because that apartment could continue to create some stories.
What is a series of movies, is that the story is not over yet!
The script of "Ghost 2" has already emerged in Li Feiteng's head, that is, another couple of newcomers come out and start a different ghost shadow.
As for Ellen and Bert, when this movie becomes popular, they will be promoted by Tengda packaging.
What "Chainsaw", what "Death is Coming", what "Resident Evil", such horror movies are exactly what are needed, actors who are not outstanding in appearance, but can perform in real colors.
Of course, Ellen and Bert, I'm afraid they won't be able to be real heroes and heroines for the rest of their lives.
However, it is no problem to be the best supporting actor with powerful and acting skills, especially in a niche field of horror movies, and gain the recognition and love of the audience.
Li Feiteng put these thoughts. Both sued Ellen and Bert.
The two were persuaded by the world's top richest man. Naturally, I was excited to join Tengdaying Pictures. became one of the few long-term co-actors.
With a guaranteed salary, he can star in more blockbuster movies.
Ellen and Bert, two people who have been chasing their dreams of being actors, have been unknown and persevered for many years, finally encountered a turning point in their fate.
As for Li Feiteng, he has already begun to let the company plan to promote "Ghost Shadow".
First of all, it is in New York itself. Spend money to publish newspaper news that makes Ellen and Bert disappear.
In order to make it more realistic, it is natural to call the police.
A news that "a young newlywed couple in a suburban apartment in New York disappeared inexplicably, and the police found a supernatural video tape from the apartment" immediately aroused the attention of local people.
Li Feiteng bribed some people who knew Ellen and began to give interviews to reporters, asking them to appear on TV and talk about it.
At the same time, Google Group has also begun to make efforts to connect platforms such as guò Facebook, Qingmu Portal, and QQ International Version. Promote such news.
On the Internet, some screenshots from the videotape were also exposed.
In just one week. The ghost incident in New York has become the hottest news on the Internet.
Netizens, all kinds of discussions, all kinds of speculations.
The young students, in particular, are very concerned about the young couple who disappeared mysteriously because of a supernatural event.
"Oh my God, why is such an unfortunate thing happening, is there really a ghost in this world?"
"There must be a ghost, I heard that the Federal Police Department has begun to block this news, but some people say that the tape has been stolen, and it is said that a film and television company is going to sort out the video tape materials and release it next month!"
"It's fake, it must be a ghost of the film company. ”
"It's impossible, recently TV and newspapers have been telling about it, and the apartment is stored, and many people around say that something strange happened there, and the neighbors have moved, and they don't dare to live there anymore!"
……
Google Group, New York.
Li Feiteng sat in the chairman's office, he browsed the posts on Google, Yahoo, and Qingmu, and a smile appeared on his face.
On January 4, "Supernatural: Ghost Shadows" will be released in more than 500 movie theaters in North America.
The cost of making zuò is 300,000 US dollars, and the publicity cost has already spent 3 million US dollars, as for whether the film can create a higher box office miracle, he still does not know.
However, the number of online posts about the paranormal event in New York reached a million in a week, and the search rate was more than 3 million.
With so many people paying attention, once the movie is released, the box office will naturally not be low.
Fake propaganda is simpler than Li Feiteng imagined, although the police also knew that the film company was doing ghosts, but they only issued some simple clarifications in the newspaper.
And Ellen and Bert are really missing, so the police can't say anything about this matter.
The videotape does have zài, which is some clips that Li Feiteng deliberately left to the police, so he uses the real to deceive people.
After the movie is released, this huge lie can also be completed.
As long as Ellen and Bert resolutely refuse to admit it according to the agreement, and say that they don't know that the outside world is looking for them, then the police and the court have nothing to do with them.
The two are not criminals, and they have not committed criminal acts, so naturally they do not have to accept punishment.
As for how the rumors spread?
It seems to be a neighbor near the apartment, and it really called the police.
As for those who were bought, they all signed a very high default bond, and they naturally kept their mouths shut.
So, even if the movie is down, the two leading actors show up, and the lies of the movie are exposed, there is nothing left.
The money from the box office has come in, and everything is easy to say.
Besides, what is placed in the cinema is the movie.
"I remember that at the back of the movie, the name of the producer, director, actor, and drama was noted, but the font should be very small, and everyone who is small can't see it at all. Li Feiteng picked up the phone and made a call to Bolan, the film's producer, and he remembered that this was the last thing that needed to be done. (To be continued......)
