Chapter Eighty-Nine: Essay with Prizes

The propaganda method that Carl said is very simple, according to the theme of "100% Men" as a clue, and two essay channels are opened on the company's official website: What kind of woman is the most attractive woman? What kind of man is the most attractive man? Then the essay will be solicited, let the netizens construct it themselves, and then write it down for everyone to vote, and the top 10 with the highest number of votes can get a bonus of 1-100,000 US dollars.

Hearing him say this, Liang Xiaolong's mind immediately became active: "Add one more condition, after the film is released, five posts that are closest to the image of the hero and heroine will be selected for everyone to vote, and they can get a bonus of 10-500,000 US dollars." Carl agreed: "Wonderful, just a short article can get such a high reward, I believe that many people are willing to use their brains, so that fans' expectations for the film will not only not be reduced, but will be more expected because it is about to be released." Also, when the film is released, everyone will go into the cinema to see if their design corresponds to the hero and heroine of the film. ”

The two talked endlessly, constantly discussing all aspects of the vote, striving to be fair, just and open. In addition, Carl pondered, "Remember those spoof photos of yours?" Liang Xiaolong felt a chill in his heart: "You won't want to use this method again, right?" Oh, Rachel will kill you. Carl said: "You can change the way of thinking, let the hero and heroine do various shapes, various expressions, and then take out the photo of the head and upload it to the Internet, so that netizens can play freely." Then we open a channel for photos to select the most attractive photos. ”

Liang Xiaolong thinks that it is completely feasible, so that before the film is released, the various images of the hero and heroine will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is more effective than constantly holding press conferences. Carl said again: "By the way, the heroine, you are going to let Rachel play, what about the male protagonist?" Is there a candidate? Liang Xiaolong said: "Andy Lau, as an astronaut in "Peerless Tribulation". As his closest friend and means of cooperation, Carl knew Liang Xiaolong's ideals too well, so he didn't say much: "Then you contact as soon as possible, and then immediately take pictures and put them on the Internet." Liang Xiaolong said: ""The Peerless Tribulation" will be completed in the next few days, there is no problem in terms of time, but you have to contact a stylist for me, this publicity is related to the success or failure of the film, so you must find the best stylist." ”

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and when I saw Rachel sitting at the dinner table waiting for him, my heart couldn't help but warm: "Baby, I'm sorry, I discussed something with Carl." Rachel smiled, "It's okay, you sit down first, I'll go and heat up the meal." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Baby, you are becoming more and more like a good wife and mother." Rachel said, "Do you like that?" Liang Xiaolong said: "If you had covered all the food every day, I would like it more." Rachel gave him a blank look: "Don't be so machismo." ”

After speaking, he drifted away, leaving Liang Xiaolong extremely aggrieved: "Am I machismo? I've been cooking for a whole month, who do I have to cry to when my brother suffers? Taking advantage of this time, Liang Xiaolong hurriedly called Andy first: "Brother Hua, are you going to finish over there?" Andy said: "The day after tomorrow will be finished." Liang Xiaolong asked again: "I just wrote a script, are you interested in collaborating?" Andy smiled: "Of course, who doesn't know that you are a guarantee of high box office and high quality." Liang Xiaolong said: "That's good, when the film is finished, you will notify me, we have a publicity event in the early stage." ”

Carl was quick and contacted stylist Wadme Galinvisky the next day. Waldmay worked as a stylist for "Far from Las Vegas" in '95 and was nominated for an Oscar, making him a big name in Hollywood. In his previous life, he worked as a stylist for works such as "The Passion of the Christ", "The Aftermath", "Appaloosa Town", "Crazy Heart", etc., and his makeup skills are needless to say. And this time, he will not only help Rachel and Andy do the styling, but also lead his design team to become the stylist of the crew of "100% Men". Of course, the asking price is not low, $700,000, but as long as the effect is good, Liang Xiaolong doesn't care about spending more money at all.

Liang Xiaolong said: "Wadmei, your task today is very simple, give full play to your imagination and make all kinds of looks for Rachel, ladylike, mature, elegant, classical...... In short, you can do as much as you can think of. Wadme said: "Do you want to use special effects makeup?" This makes it possible to create all kinds of strange shapes. Liang Xiaolong said: "No, just the usual makeup techniques." ”

Wadme and his assistants discussed for a while and began to style Rachel, and it didn't take long to complete the style of a mature woman, coupled with Rachel's proud figure, Liang Xiaolong's heart fluttered when he saw it. Seeing Liang Xiaolong staring at him, Rachel threw him a wink at the right time, making his index finger move, if it weren't for the wrong time and place, he would have turned into a royal sister who had already turned into all evils and pounced wildly.

After the makeup, I started to take pictures, because only the head was cut off, so there was no requirement for clothing, but Rachel still changed into a beautiful dress: "What a great photo opportunity, I have to keep these photos and look at them when I am eighty years old." Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "When the time comes, you can take the photo and show off to our children and grandchildren, and see, grandma, how beautiful I was when I was young, you can be so handsome, it is because of good genetics." Rachel rolled her eyes: "When the time comes, I will say, fortunately you inherited my genes and escaped your grandfather's genes, otherwise there would be no hope in this life." Liang Xiaolong said depressedly: "Baby, personal attacks are prohibited." ”

The little couple sang and teased everyone laughing, and the next photo process was simple, only Rachel needed to use a variety of expressions, aggrieved, excited, dignified, coquettish, and hearty...... Immediately after this set of photos, Wadme and his assistants did another look for Rachel, and then continued to shoot, and the cycle continued. However, the process of styling is more tedious, especially hairstyling, and it is time to get off work after changing three hairstyles in a day, Liang Xiaolong finally proposed: "If you want to make a scar on Rachel's face, how long will it take?" Wadme said: "This requires foaming latex, but it won't take long for just a scar, I will go back to work overtime at night, and I can use it tomorrow." ”

After a tiring day, Rachel was excited: "Honey, that's great, I really hope that Wadme's creativity is endless." Liang Xiaolong laughed and said: "Narcissistic mother-in-law." Rachel snorted: "Beauty is a woman's natural surname, and beautiful is a man's natural surname, of course I have to dress up beautifully, otherwise how can I fascinate you?" ”

"The Peerless Tribulation" has also been completed, but the special effects production of this film with an investment of more than 100 million yuan is extremely troublesome, but Paramount is not in a hurry, this kind of big production, I would rather spend more time to ensure the effect. Moreover, knowing that Andy was going to participate in the protagonist of "100% Men", Shirley began to calculate again, and everyone agreed that Bruce Leung's script was equated with high quality and high box office this year, and it was easy for him to become popular with a newcomer, such as Rachel, Wu Jing, Brandon, Matt...... If he is making Hua Tsai popular this time, then "Peerless Tribulation" will have another star box office appeal. So now she is wishing that Liang Xiaolong would start filming as soon as possible, finish it as soon as possible, and release it as soon as possible.

"Brother Hua, how do you feel?" Bruce Leung brought Andy to the filming site, and today he will face the boring and tedious photo shoot process with Rachel. Andy said: "It's very novel, those space special effects are shot in the studio, but the facilities are far more advanced than those in China, and it's no wonder that domestic films can't compete with Hollywood in special effects, the difference is too far." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "Not to mention special effects, from directors to actors, from actors to supporting roles, drama affairs...... It is far inferior to Hollywood in all aspects, and unless China can enter the process of making blockbusters, there will be no progress in special effects. ”

If you don't shoot blockbusters and don't need special effects technology, who will engage in the development of special effects? It's like if the audience doesn't watch movies, then who will make movies? In the previous life, it was Zhang Yimou who filmed "Hero" in 02, which opened the prelude to the big production of Chinese films, and by 2010, technology had made great progress, although it was not as good as Hollywood, but compared with the nineties, it was simply upside down.

Andy said: "What about the script of our new play?" I haven't even seen it yet. Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "You are dedicated, I will give it to you later, now you cooperate with Wademei first, and then talk about makeup." ”

Just today, there is an additional piece of information on the official website of Yanhuang Film Company: The captain spent two months to create the perfect script "Man 100%". As soon as the news was released, fans thought it was incredible, who didn't know the captain's prolific script, maybe he could complete an excellent script in a week, maybe ten days, but now it took two months? Could it be that Yanhuang Film Company is joking with everyone?

The vast majority of fans were hesitant about this information, but they were happy that the captain's new script came out, which means that they will soon be able to see a high-quality film again. Moreover, the name "100% Men" is also very interesting, and fans have speculated, should the captain take himself as the prototype and create a pure man among the masters? Some of them were lively and even thought: "The invincible captain will lead the human god of war monsters to rush out of the earth and conquer the universe." Of course, it's just a casual thought, because what follows is well explained.

"'100% Men' will create the most attractive men and the most attractive women." Seeing this, fans were stunned, the most charming, this thing can also be defined? Doesn't they have a saying in China that radish and vegetables have their own love? That means that everyone's point of view is different, and if so, the word "most" is not valid. There were some guys who didn't like Liang Xiaolong and scolded on the spot: "What are you kidding? He's just a half-old kid, how many guys do you know? How many women have you experienced and what is the most attractive woman?

And the next line of words made more people stunned, there is a prize for essays, what is it?
