TV series are different from movies, but in some places, such as if you want to sell well, they rely very much on publicity and marketing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As filming came to an end and the crew was about to move into post-production, Murphy and Carla Firth agreed with Fox Cable that the epic series would officially land on Fox Cable at the end of April, accepting subscriptions from viewers, and that the first episode would be sampled for the first two weeks.

Since Murphy mainly takes live-action shooting, there are few shots that require post-production of special effects, and the main work is still on editing and soundtrack, etc., and the crew does not need too long post-production time.

And unlike movie screenings, Fox Cable TV takes a traditional way of broadcasting American dramas, and Murphy only needs to finish editing the first few episodes first, and the next few episodes don't have to rush at all.

This also has the benefit of being able to make appropriate adjustments based on the audience's feedback in a timely manner.

The crew is now on vacation and post-production will not begin until later, but Murphy and several of the main actors are not idle, and under the influence of Twentieth Century Fox, they began to work hard to promote the series.

Especially Murphy, Stanton Studios has invested heavily in this series, which has made him profitable, and failure has directly broken his bones.

Stanton Studios first announced on the official production blog of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones that all filming of the series has been completed and that it will soon enter post-production.

Fox Cable Network then announced in prime time that "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" will officially start airing on the last Friday of the end of April.

Later, Murphy posted the first poster on his blog, with only one line of bold words on it: April 28, 2006, winter is coming!

Twentieth Century Fox is also on many of its media outlets, building momentum for the TV series.

"For ten years, or more, people who are fascinated by the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series seem to have absolutely strong willpower and confidence in all kinds of cruel news and blows like northerners, and finally, Fox Cable TV will broadcast "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" at 21:00 p.m. on April 28 this year. It can be said that the whole world is waiting to be captured, shocked, and influenced visually by this story. ”

This kind of propaganda has also appeared in many mainstream media outlets.

"We've been following the program from the very beginning until it's about to air. Whether you have read the book or not, you should pay attention to this series, because although it takes place in a fantasy land, its representation and reflection on human nature and behavior is like a microcosm of today's world, which is very vivid and intuitive, but also cruel and contradictory. ”

Behind the final $50 million production cost of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", there is also a whopping $15 million publicity and marketing budget.

With the airing date not far away, Studio Stanton teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox to launch a variety of promotional activities.

In addition to releasing stills, promotional photos, posters, and behind-the-scenes productions, it also organizes book fan activities, makes various souvenirs, and even makes special food for people to taste......

At the same time, Murphy released a second poster, in which Ned Stark, played by Sean Bean on the Iron Throne, is holding an ice with a frown on his brow and his eyes down, as if he is going through a painful struggle inside.

The poster prominently reads "YOU. WIN.OR. YOU. DIE", victory or death, this is the rule of the game that must be followed in any world.

As the promoter and director of the project, Murphy was also interviewed by Fox TV for this purpose.

"We were very careful with this series in a way," Murphy said, sitting on the Fox studio, talking to the camera, "and we have two main writers, including Martin, who are very talented, very talented, and very smart, and that's what makes it a huge, irresistible appeal." ”

The host asked, "Could this be the TV series version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy?" ”

"Absolutely not, it's more realistic and brutal, it's really about Game of Thrones," Murphy said, knowing the audience he's going to be dealing with in the future, "and it's a theme that resonates throughout human history." I promise, you'll quickly forget where you are and quickly find yourself caught up in the whole story. ”

Fans of the original novel in North America will be very helpful to the ratings, but there are two sides to the story, which also invisibly increases the pressure on the producers.

"There's a huge craving for the show," Murphy said, "so it's going to have to be detailed, and everybody is looking forward to it." And the level and tone of the novel itself is there, so if you want to do it, you have to do it well. ”

Since the main line of the first season is entirely based on the novel, fans are the most basic viewing group, and Murphy also specifically mentioned this aspect.

"It's been 10 years since George Martin's first book in the series, A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones, came out and the TV series was filmed, but for fans of ice and fire, it seems like a moment."

There is a very necessary reason to pay so much attention to the fans of the original book in the first season, and it was not until after the start of filming of the TV series that Murphy found that there were many more fans of the original book than he thought, after all, this series of novels did not appear in recent years, it has been published for nearly ten years, and although the sales situation is not very hot, it is not bad, and it can naturally cultivate a group of fans.

And this world-famous fantasy novel has a large number of obsessive readers, which is undoubtedly good news for Murphy and the TV series.

During the filming, these people kept an eye on the entire crew's every move, and even went to Belfast's forest area to visit the class, for which Murphy and Carla Firth could not help but pay attention.

In this fictional continent that is not too peaceful, there are palace struggles, battlefield battles, travel adventures, the growth of teenagers, and the maintenance of love and family...... Whether it is from the grand setting, the direction of the story, or the small plot changes, the future will be the focus of attention and comments of book fans.

So, the entire crew, led by Murphy, was extremely cautious in this regard, and worked through every detail in countless meetings, and the crew's language creation department even created a language for Drogo and his people.

"You've always been in filmmaking," the host asked, "why don't you consider making this series into a movie?" ”

"After I finished the first draft of the script, I really didn't know how to make it into a movie."

After a moment's thought, Murphy elaborated, "If I make the first book into a three-hour movie, I'm going to cut out about 90 percent of the book." I'm pretty comfortable adapting screenplays from novels, and sometimes I'm going to be cold-blooded, but in this project, I love every story line and every character. And cutting them out is like amputating a beautiful woman, so the only way to do that is to make it into a series. ”

At the end of the interview, Murphy added, "On April 28, Fox Cable TV, winter is coming." ”

For the remainder of February, while working on post-production of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones, Murphy made frequent media appearances and was active on the stage.

Compared with Murphy's busyness, Gal Gadot has more free time recently, except for weekend night get-togethers, Murphy doesn't have much time to spend with her, but Margot Robbie also transferred to Los Angeles after filming, and the two often go out shopping together on weekends, and the relationship is getting better and better.

"I don't think this black one is good......"

In a fashion store on Rodell Avenue in Beverly Hills, Margot Robbie stood behind Gal Gadot, looked at the black evening gown she was wearing, and said, "Gail, with your figure, you look good in anything, but have you thought about it?" ”

Gal Gadot turned, looked back in the mirror, and asked, "What to consider?" ”

"You're going on the Oscar red carpet, and Murphy is definitely going to choose a dark dress." Margot Robbie looked like an expert, "As his female companion, it's not appropriate for you to wear black again, my advice is...... White! ”

"When did you stop studying horseback riding," asked Gal Gadot curiously, "and instead study fashion?" ”

"You don't know here...... "Margot Robbie said a little smugly, "I left my hometown farm and first trained as a professional model at a friend of my mother's, where fashion aesthetics was a part of it. ”

"Well, you have a good eye." Gal Gadot said to the female clerk standing next to her, "Is there a white model?" Okay, I'll give it a try. ”

When the female clerk went to pick up the white version of the same model, Margot Robbie leaned over and said, "It's right for me to come with you, right?" I've said it all, I can help you. ”

"Maggie, I think you forgot." Gal Gadot clasped his hands to his chest and said, "I have participated in the Miss Universe contest and have received professional training in this area......"

Margot Robbie opened her mouth slightly, "Uh......"

The female clerk took the clothes, and Gal Gadot tried them on and decided to ask for this short type that could show her legs.

"It's good to have long legs."

Looking at Gal Gadot's straight and slender legs, Margot Robbie said with envy, "No matter what you wear, it's beautiful." ”

These legs are what Gal Gadot is most satisfied with, and he pulled Margot Robbie out of the store and said, "You're still growing your body, and you'll have long legs soon." ”

"Of course!" Margot Robbie looked confident and asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

"Go to the men's clothing store." Gal Gadot walked first, "I'm going to pick out an Oscar dress for Murphy." (To be continued.) )
