Today is the day of the midnight murder bell, all the crew and actors have arrived, and everyone is gathered around the filming site, watching the filming of the last scene, waiting for the end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The last scene, save the son, Ikexuan." The field attendant Xiao Sun slapped the board.

Outside an old house, Xiaochuan played by Yiyi hugged her son tightly, shed tears in pain, and then as if she had made up her mind, she took out the videotape, handed it to her son, pointed to the grandfather who was waving to them in the distance, and asked the son to give the video to the grandfather, so that the son would not die.

Uncle Da's grandfather has a total of two scenes, this is the second and last scene, although there are not many scenes, he is not a professional actor, as a doorman, he seems to have been born to act, every action, every expression is very in place.

The camera zoomed in, and Uncle Da saw his daughter and grandson, smiling, smiling from the bottom of his heart, not false. He waved to his daughter and grandson to welcome their arrival, but he didn't know what he was going to face, his daughter was going to kill himself in order to protect his son, and even if he knew, he would take the death tape without hesitation, just like all parents in the world, in order to protect their children and grandchildren can face death fearlessly.

Some people will say that the heroine is too inhuman, and she wants to kill her biological father for her son, but this is the effect of Wang Ling, his film is to show people the bright and dark side of human nature, this is not just a horror movie, but also to dissolve into some thought-provoking plots, this is the best way to express art, at least he thinks so.

"CUT, the last scene is finished, very good, I announce, the midnight bell is officially finished."

"Wow, that's amazing, it's finished."

"It's worth the hard work these days, the movie is so good." A female staff member was moved to tears.

That night, all the crew came to a high-end seafood restaurant to hold their graduation celebration banquet, the scene was very warm, everyone took turns to pay tribute to Wang Ling, the director, producer Baogen, and then the male and female leads, and they all said that as long as it is Director Wang's film in the future, as long as they can use themselves, they can play any role.

Although the shooting time this time is not long, the shooting intensity is very high, and it is rare for Wang Ling, a lazy person, to work overtime. He knew that everyone was working very hard, and he doubled the original agreed remuneration for everyone. Individual actors he is more optimistic about have extra red envelopes, such as Niu Zhongguo, Greenhouse, Uncle Da, and Lao Xing have all received red envelopes, except for Lao Xing, the income of the three others is not high, seeing that Wang Ling is so good to him, he also said that he will give priority to them if there are movies and TV series to be filmed in the future, so he is naturally grateful to Dade.

Next, we will enter post-production, that is, soundtrack, editing, these work is handled by Wang Ling alone, he said that in just three days, the film can be changed from a parent film to a formal sample that can be seen, and everyone will be invited to try it out at that time.

The post-production work is also very smooth, the original soundtrack is very classic, the horror effect is very good, Wang Ling doesn't plan to change it, just redeem it and use it, the edited sample is slightly different from the original, the original director is not super first-class, and there are still many gaps in shooting techniques and storytelling skills compared to Wang Ling, who has top director skills. Wang Ling removed some of the procrastinating plots, but the horror scenes of Zhenqin's appearance were strengthened, and Wang Ling spent 20,000 love points to exchange for a supercomputer specializing in computer special effects to complete one of the few and most important scenes in this movie, that is, the scene where Zhenqin crawled out of the TV, the effect of the black technology props is of course better than the original, which also makes the whole movie look more terrifying than the original.

After the film was all produced, Wang Ling summoned all the actors and staff to try out the sample film, and originally planned to call Lin Xi, but when he thought that Yiyi was also present, he dispelled the idea.

The place to try it out is also in the office they rented, Wang Ling also bought a high-definition projector for the effect, although it is not as good as watching it in the cinema, but for him who is short of funds, this is enough, he is very confident in his movie, and he can definitely scare you out of the blood.

The effect of the trial is very good, everyone's reaction Wang Ling saw it in his eyes, the fear of even stopping breathing made everyone's face blue, Yiyi was no exception, she was known as bold, she was actually really bold, but she also had a weakness, that is, she was afraid of ghosts, after a movie, Wang Ling's arm sitting next to her was pinched by her and purple, poor Wang Ling didn't dare to take his hand away, who knows what kind of inhuman treatment he would receive after taking it away.

The trial was successful, and the review was quickly passed, and the next thing is, of course, to talk to the theater about the release, this kind of begging Wang Ling naturally won't do it himself, and of course he won't let Yiyi do it, what if someone eats it? Beauty is naturally to be protected.

If they don't do it, this important task will naturally fall to Baogen, who has never done this, so he can only catch ducks on the shelves.

There are forty or fifty cinemas in the country, and most of the headquarters of the cinema chains are located in important cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Headquartered in Beijing, Yida Cinema Line is a subsidiary of Yida Group, and the company is located in the office building of Yida Plaza in Beijing, also known as Yida Building.

Baogen went downstairs to Yida Building, looked up, wow, it's so high, how can there be more than 100 floors, Yida Group is really wealthy.

I took the elevator to the 80th floor, and when I arrived at the front desk, I was greeted by a beautiful young girl at the front desk.

"Hello, I'm here to schedule our movie, who are you looking for?"

"Which studio are you?"

"I'm not a film company, I'm a studio."

The female front desk looked disdainful, you don't even know who to look for, and you have to schedule your own movie, a dirt bun, it seems that it is an amateur who has made a garbage movie that I don't know what kind of garbage movie I want to release.

"The schedule for the release of a movie is generally given by the filmmaker, and our theater is just giving opinions, of course, whether the movie can be released in our theater is decided by our Vice President Liu."

"Then I'll look for you Vice President Liu."

"Do you have an appointment?" It's not a film company, it's just a studio, if he is asked to go to Vice President Liu casually, will my job still be saved?

"No, just let me see it, our movie is really good, as long as Vice President Liu watches it, he will definitely be able to arrange it."

"I don't know how many movies are made by a personal studio like yours every year, and all of them come to our vice president, so he is not busy to death, I think you should make an appointment before coming."

"What's the matter, when will I see you after the appointment?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on Mr. Liu's work arrangement, it may be ten days and half a month, or it may be three or five months, you can go back and wait for news after you make an appointment."

"Three or five months? The daylilies are cold! ”

"Do you want to make an appointment?"

"You want to make a date with me? Where to? My house is inconvenient. Baogen saw that people didn't want to see him, so he teased the female front desk when he got angry.

"Who wants to make an appointment with you? You dead rascal, you don't even look at what you look like! "Seeing Baogen teasing himself, even if he teases himself, he still looks ugly, this can't be endured.

"Obviously you asked if you wanted to make an appointment, where am I a hooligan!"

"I'm talking about appointments!"

"Then I won't make an appointment, bye beauties."

You don't see me as your loss, I'll go find someone else.

It took Baogen a few days to run through all the large and small cinema companies in the capital, and when people heard that their movies were only produced by the studio, Baogen looked like a rural peasant's face, and he couldn't even pass the front desk, let alone meet other leaders.

Baogen, Wang Ling, and Yiyi got together to discuss, it's not a way to go on like this, the national cinema chain can't see them, so why don't you find a local-level small theater chain to try, some small theaters are not satisfied with the film schedule, and some are still releasing some old films from a few years ago. But these small theaters are not well-known and the attendance rate is not high, do they really have to give in to their first movie?

Yiyi proposed, why don't we also set up a film company?

It's good, but the registered capital is a lot, not to mention 10 million, and it will take a while to get your own manuscript fee, which is far from being able to solve the fire.

"Then I'll try to run the theaters in other cities!"

"That's all there is to it."

It took Baogen a few days to fly around the country, looking for the cinema companies on the list one by one, and finally there was a cinema manager willing to receive him, which was a very small cinema in Wang Ling's hometown.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I am the theater manager of Zhongxing Cinema, and my surname is Mo. I heard that you have a movie to be released, what is the theme? ”

"Horror themes."

"Oh, this theme is rarely filmed now, except for some imported horror films, most of the domestic horror films are not watched. Although our cinema chain is relatively small and the schedule is not satisfied, if it is a bad movie, we will not let it go, which will only smash the signboard of our cinema. ”

"I know, I know, I promise it won't be a bad movie, not only is it not a bad movie, but it is also very well made, this is the first horror film shot by the well-known novelist Wang Ling."

"Novelist Wang Ling? His name is like thunder, and he is from Rongcheng, but didn't he announce the start of filming more than 20 days ago, why did he shoot so quickly? Impossible, right? ”

"It's been filmed, I brought a sample film, you can see it."

"Then I'll see it." What kind of good films can be made in 20 days, this theater manager doesn't believe it, although Wang Ling is now a famous novelist, but no one is optimistic about his films, and this one is no exception.

"Don't underestimate our Wang Dao, he is not an ordinary person."

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, help me arrange the screening room, I want to watch the sample film, and then call a colleague who has nothing to do at hand to come along, this is the masterpiece of Wang Ling, the martial arts novelist you admire." As a celebrity from Rongcheng, there are even more fans in his hometown than he can count.

"Teacher Wang Ling's movie? Filmed so quickly? Okay, I'll arrange it right away. ”

Xiao Zhang arranged the screening room and yelled in the office area, "Teacher Wang Ling's horror movie is a sample film in our theater, and everyone who has nothing to do with it will go to the screening room to watch it together." ”

After a bang, the office area was empty, and no matter what happened or not, they all ran to watch the idol's masterpiece.

When Manager Mo and Bao Gen came to the screening room, it was already crowded with people, and the people who didn't grab the seats were standing aside, everyone was talking excitedly, all Bao Gen heard was discussing Wang Ling and his novel, and one or two were asking about the movie, but they were all here for Wang Ling's fame, and they didn't expect much from the movie itself.

"Why are there so many people, you all have nothing to do?" Seeing that almost all the employees ran in, Manager Mo was on fire, they were all a group of idlers, and it seemed that they were going to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

"It's okay, Lao Mo, just let them watch it, everyone is a fan of Teacher Wang Ling, and we can't be so unkind." The owner of the cinema line also came today, he usually doesn't come often, he only comes two or three times a week, and he happened to meet it today, so let's take a look.

Manager Mo saw that the boss spoke, and he didn't say anything more, as long as he didn't blame me for dereliction of duty.

The sample began to be screened, the projection room equipment of the theater company must be much better than the projector that Wang Ling and they bought casually, and the sound effect is much better, during the film screening, the sound of inhalation, pain and the screams of girls came from time to time in the projection room, the owner of the theater chain is old, and he almost had a heart attack, with the special effects made by the supercomputer of black technology, this midnight murder bell is several times more terrifying than the original.

The audience's reaction was much more exaggerated than the audition of the staff and actors that day, after all, the staff and actors followed the whole process and were psychologically prepared, but today's audience is different, they have never seen such a terrifying horror movie, compared with this one, can the horror movies they have seen before be called horror movies?

The theater boss agreed to the release on the spot, and the schedule was set by the filmmaker, no matter what the prime schedule was, there was no problem, and the sharing conditions were also very reasonable, after all, it was Wang Ling's hometown, and he had to give some face.

However, there are not many theaters in Zhongxing Cinema Line, all of which are distributed in Fukumi Province, which of course cannot satisfy Baogen, and having the first cinema chain agree to release it is a good start, and he also has more capital, so that he will have more confidence when he negotiates with other cinemas.

After leaving Zhongxing, he ran to many places one after another, and with the first successful experience, it was much easier to talk again, and when he returned to the capital, he had already negotiated with six companies to agree to the release.

Although they are all small local theaters, and the sharing conditions are not as good as those of Zhongxing, it is better than not having to be released.

There are only more than 200 theaters in the six theaters, but this achievement has made Wang Ling very satisfied, this is his first movie, I believe that the reputation after the release can open up the situation in the film industry, and then it will not be him who will beg for people, but the major theaters will come to him to beg him.

They set the schedule for Christmas, although Christmas is a festival for foreigners, but now Christmas is also popular in China, and Christmas is celebrated as Valentine's Day. It's just that in foreign countries, horror movies are generally not released on Christmas, but in China there are not so many exquisite, young couples go to the cinema to watch movies, and the man of course wants the movie to be as terrifying as possible.

The schedule is set, and the next thing is publicity, how can we let the audience choose their movies, Wang Ling began to have a headache again.
