Chapter 329: Super Bowl (3/10)

[Ask for a monthly pass!] 】

After the Chinese New Year, Hu Yifei returned to North America.

This time, Hu Yifei finally didn't live in the presidential suite of the hotel, in fact, he enjoyed the days of the presidential suite. He moved into his own Beverly Hills mansion, which is now famous, but Scarlett's name is still written on the house name, and Hu Yifei doesn't even mean to change it.

This has made Scarlett suffer for a long time, and she has been more enthusiastic lately.

However, Hu Yifei did not indulge in the gentle country, and quickly adjusted and turned his energy back to the post-production of "Inception". Since December last year, he has completed the first cut and further fine editing of the film with Lee Smith, but because the CGI special effects are still early to be completed, the edited version of the film without special effects still looks extremely rough.

At this moment, the special effects are also nearing the end stage, and all that remains is the work of picking up the slack, saying that it has been completed.

Hans-Zimmer also finished the soundtrack, and after listening to it, Hu Yifei discussed it with Hans, and generally made some rhythmic changes to distinguish between the soothing and the tense. Hans-Zimmer further refined and expanded on this basis, and it was basically over.

In addition, manufacturers including Nokia mobile phones and Ford sports cars in the United States have also joined the ranks of advertising sponsorship for the film, and Hu Yifei must also consider adding them to the appropriate scenes in post-production.

At the same time, the first official trailer of the film was also edited with the cooperation of his special effects production department.

A 30-second super-cut trailer was also cut, which was intended to be placed on the Super Bowl halftime commercial.

This time, "Inception" landed in the Super Bowl halftime advertisement, and it was also called "the first time that a trailer of a Chinese movie appeared on the Super Bowl" by the American media, although the film has American funds and speaks English, but as long as it is labeled as Hu Yifei, some media still define it as a Chinese movie.

It can also be seen from this side that even if Hu Yifei "The Hangover" exploded last year, he was not really accepted and integrated. He didn't care, and he didn't even think about fitting in.

Super Bowl halftime commercials, not just as simple as advertising, since the mid-80s, those who want to get into it, will make a special advertising video for the bowl, the film will gather the best creativity, the most gorgeous pictures and the biggest star models, even many viewers who are not interested in the bowl itself, will switch to the intermission to watch the advertising blockbuster and halftime show.

And since the Hollywood movie "Independence Day" was the first to eat crabs to join the Super Bowl a few years ago, and spent very little publicity money but achieved global sales, Hollywood has become a routine to join the Super Bowl commercials.

In North America, the Super Bowl has the strength to crush all games and TV shows, such as the NBA Finals and the World Cup Finals, which cannot be compared at all, and its influence is also huge.

Of course, the asking price is quite expensive, but the effect is really first-class.

Thirty seconds of advertising, but 50 million Americans watching it online at the same time, so that someone will grab the head every time.

This time, Warner Bros. used a lot of its resources, and even pulled down the not very good "Superman Returns" and put the trailer of "Inception".

However, Hu Yifei knows in his heart that the Super Bowl advertisement is just the icing on the cake, not the decisive factor for the success of the film, and "Inception" is not a summer file-level vulgar collection like "Independence Day", even if it is on the Super Bowl, it is impossible to have a super advertising effect like "Independence Day".

It relies more on the quality of the movie. The key to the success or failure of the film is also the excellent production, and Hu Yifei then threw the Super Bowl aside and continued to put the finishing touches.

But Hu Yifei is also looking forward to what kind of effect this movie, which appeared three years in advance, in the film industry before the super special effects of "Avatar" bombarded wildly?

It wasn't until the opening day of the Super Bowl that Scarlett pinched two tickets and dangled in front of his eyes, "Two tickets sent by Warner for you to watch live." ”

"Okay, which two teams made it to the finals this year, can you introduce me?"

"Oh, you're a super layman fan, and Warner sent you two tickets for the best spots." Scarlett smiled: "This time it's the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Seattle Seahawks. The Pittsburgh Steelers are an established powerhouse with four Super Bowl titles. However, the last time they won the championship was 25 years ago, and the Seattle Seahawks have a lot of momentum this season, especially Dallaire Jackson, who is super strong, and may be able to help the team win. ”

Hu Yifei knows the status of football in the minds of Americans, and he also knows a little, "Which team do you like?" ”

Scarlett thought for a moment and said deflated: "Well, I'm also a pseudo-fan, and I don't have a particularly favorite team. ”

So the two pseudo-fans occupied the most advantageous position to enter the final venue, showing their affection in a bright and bright way. They accidentally bumped into Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the pitch, and the two sides were unexpectedly placed next to each other.

These two dog men and women, after last year's scandal bombardment, did not have "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" this year, and Aniston's beautiful girl was also kicked by Pete. Now openly appearing on the court and watching the finals together, it is simply a single man.

Of course, Hu Yifei and Scarlett, the dog man and woman, are not bad. And Scarlett is younger, with a more beautiful face and a hotter figure. I don't know how many American men want to kick Hu Yifei away and replace him.

"Galen, which team do you like?" Brad Pitt asked.

Hu Yifei said: "I don't know much, but I think the Pittsburgh Steelers should be more eager to win." ”

Brad Pitt laughed, "On the contrary, I'm bullish on the Seattle Seahawks. I spent some time in Seattle and loved the environment. So...... Why don't you place a bet together? ”

"Of course. Which team has the better odds? ”

"It seems that the Pittsburgh Steelers are taller, which means that everyone is not optimistic about them."

The two men stood up and went to bet, "Lose company, baby." ”

"Give me a bet too, Seattle Seahawks, baby." Angelina Jolie gave a fragrant kiss. is so passionate, it seems that the two of them are indeed true love.

"What about you...... Scarlett? ”

Scarlett rubbed her blonde hair and said, "I don't know much, you can help me with whatever you like." ”

Hu Yifei was surprised, walked to the betting place with Pete, summoned the waiters, and the staff asked them how much.

"500,000 one bet, I want to buy two bets, buy Seattle Seahawks win." Brad Pitt made two small bets, only 1 million.

"What about you, sir?"

Hu Yifei looked at the odds, Pittsburgh odds to win 1 to 1.56, and Seattle Seahawks to win 1 to 0.98. The difference is so big, he has a gut feeling that there is something in it. The two teams that also entered the finals, no matter how you look at it, they are not so much different.

"Two bets, one million bets. The Pittsburgh Steelers won. ”

The staff was stunned, "How much?" ”

Brad Pitt was also taken aback, "Galen, do you want to place 20 million?" ”

"Of course." Hu Yifei is sure.

Pete was speechless and explained for him, "This is Galen Hu." If you don't know him, you can look for the name on the Forbes rich list. ”

Such a big bet is obviously not something that a small receptionist can take care of. Hurriedly went to the supervisor, and the supervisor said enthusiastically: "Mr. Hu, your bet is the largest single bet in this final." Hope you win. ”

"Thank you."

With the reputation of the two of them, it is obvious that they don't need to take out the money now, sign and draw it.

In fact, Hu Yifei is really a layman, although the strength of the two teams is not so different, but in the eyes of professionals, they can't cheat. This odds are analyzed and compared from various reasons, and sorted out. Otherwise, the eyes of so many football fans in the United States are watching, and the American law is also watching, and this kind of event that the whole country is watching and even the president is paying attention to, there is really no room for bookmakers to mess around.

His gambling this time is really a bit hanging. (To be continued.) )
