Chapter 762: Preparing Before Playing
When the news came that the villain was ready to bring this fantasy series to the TV screen in just over a month, it almost made fantasy fans all over the world feel incredible. 【】
There was almost a lot of scolding on the major forums, and everyone thought it was a joke when they received the news within Warner.
Neil even rushed directly to Gu Xiaofan's crew to confirm: "Is this too fast, we can't catch up with the broadcast schedule of our filming, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." ”
Although the American drama is a weekly drama, many of them are filmed while broadcasting, but after all, it is a fantasy drama, plus special effects and post-production, this time seems to be tight.
Gu Xiaofan is wearing a "little devil" costume and filming in the "Desperate Great Wall", and at the same time, he has to take care of action design and the work of stuntman, and he is very busy every day.
He and Kit Harrington "Snow" held the sword against each other, and did not look back at Neil and said:
"Don't worry, the time is definitely in time, we have the support of Mrs. Cadifyin, the post-production team Weta Studios and 17 special effects studios co-production, and the great director Peter Jackson as the special effects director, there is no need to worry too much about the special effects."
Saying that, Gu Xiaofan kicked Kit Harrington away and scolded: "You are hiding too slowly!" If you will get hurt, practice it a few more times. Kit Harington nodded, and then looked back at Neil:
"Although our series is a fantasy plot, it is a low-magic setting, and there are not too many scenes with dynamic special effects in the first 20 episodes.
It's not that I'm in a hurry to get on the file, but it's only 2 months before the end of the Oscars, and for forgetful audiences, the impact of my 'villain's rhetoric is still there, and the sooner the iron is struck, the better. ”
Neil couldn't refute it when he heard it, but continued to whisper: "Okay, even so, we need to do some publicity, we can't just release it in such a hurry."
Although we are a cable TV station, and each program has an age restriction mark, in order to sit down and prepare for the audience around the world, we still need to release some clips in advance to promote resources and the like, right? ”
Gu Xiaofan said disapprenously: "On the Scottish side, the parliament has carried out a Scottish-wide propaganda offensive from top to bottom, and all roads and shopping malls are full of posters, so you don't have to worry about the ratings at all, right?" Don't you think the publicity of our crew in Scotland is not enough? ”
With the full support of the Scottish government, the local ratings are absolutely guaranteed, and as for the key North American market, Neil should be responsible for it according to the agreement.
"But what about North America? I've tried a lot of things, but none of them have worked well. Neil tried to find some way to get the word out, but he couldn't get enough exposure.
"Director Gu~ Can you still unleash the influence of your Chinese fans this time?" Neil could only ask Gu Xiaofan for help in the end.
"Of course not, this series has nothing to do with China, how can I mobilize public opinion on the Chinese side?" Gu Xiaofan was speechless when he heard this, and glanced at Neil, how could this guy not even have one-tenth of the level of Old Jet?
"What then?" Neil rubbed his hands together and complained again and again: "I don't have the resources to cooperate with Time Magazine, how can I promote it in the North American market?" Most of the publicity costs are included in the overspent costs......"
The crew has greatly overspent on building the set and spending money on special effects in the early stage, which has stretched the publicity costs, and it is not surprising that Neil is in a hurry, but for this "boss", Gu Xiaofan does not plan to let him participate too much, but just said: "Then let's publish the character poster on the website first." ”
"What's the use of just a poster?" Neil was puzzled.
"Release it first, and if it doesn't work well, I'll figure it out." Gu Xiaofan was in a hurry to shoot the work, and when he heard Neil's unkind tone, his face immediately sank.
Neil was slightly angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, after Gu Xiaofan got rid of Mrs. Cadillation, Gu Xiaofan's weight in Warner became more important, and Neil didn't dare to offend him now......
"Mr. Neil, I'll bother you about the poster." Gu Xiaofan said politely, but in his heart, he couldn't wait for Neil, a guy who was in the way, to get out of the way immediately.
Neil heard Gu Xiaofan's eviction order, so he could only go out with a calm face, thinking: When the poster is ineffective, I will scold you again.
At this time, Liu Shishi, who had no scene to rest on the side, also came over and said, "Aren't you going to tell him anything?" ”
"Telling him is telling Abel." Gu Xiaofan motioned for Kit Harrington to pick up the sword and continue, as he said:
"Before, we had a lot of computer data monitored by people, and I'm sure Neil must be the same, and I don't worry about him."
Only then did Liu Shishi understand Gu Xiaofan's concerns: "It's ...... Speaking of which, our newly established computer department is really amazing, and the person in charge, Peter, is indeed a person, since he brought the team to our office, our computers have not been breached by hackers, how did you find him? ”
Gu Xiaofan turned around and smiled at Liu Shishi: "Secret." He didn't tell anyone about Joanne's matter, Gu Xiaofan smiled again: "Then this time, leave it to our new network department to carry it out." ”
"Okay, how about trying their promotion skills, I'll do it now."
So, a week before the launch, Neil released two posters on HBO's official website and Gu Xiaofan's Twitter.
These two posters are the gloomy expression of Ned, the protagonist of the first season, sitting on the Iron Throne, while the other is the ugly face of the little devil played by Gu Xiaofan, looking at the front with a deep look.
Of course, there is nothing noteworthy about these two posters, but the details are quite beautiful and gorgeous, but they have a certain appeal to fantasy fans.
But Gu Xiaofan's target is not just these fantasy fans, he has already edited out the nude and intimate scenes in the first few episodes of filming in advance, and reorganized the picture with very clever techniques, so that the plot of several characters is disrupted.
makes this clip of the video look very "restrictive", with a lot of "little devil" scenes in it.
Of course, he deliberately made the clip in the video very rough, and did not say what a promotional trailer was, nor did he have a text description, let alone publicity, not even any introduction to the series, actors, and behind-the-scenes footage.
The whole video is like a "private video" that was secretly filmed by someone next to it and then edited out. Big Star System
