Chapter 208: The Ultimate Version
Jerry is worthy of being one of the most outstanding composers in the United States, and in the music production of "Legend of Doom", he has completely taken out the level of the Oscar for Best Music Producer, down to every detail of the film, and truly achieves the perfect combination of audio-visual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor this kind of music, Liang Xiǎo Long can't find the slightest máo disease even with a critical eye.
"Jerry, it seems that next year's Oscar will be your harvest season again." Liang Xiǎo Long has even fantasized about whether "Legend of Doom" can make a big splash in music like "Million Dollar Baby" and win more Oscars.
"Everybody wants it." Jerry laughed, if he can win three xiǎo gold people this year like last year, then he will become the music producer who has won the most xiǎo gold people in Oscar history. Moreover, he also has a great opportunity, because although the Oscars are the temple of art films, in recent years, films with a perfect combination of art and commerce have become more popular at the Oscars, especially films with excellent quality, high box office and huge influence.
After confirming that there are no problems with the film, the film of "Doomsday Legend" will start to be copied, and at the same time, the film will have to carry out the final promotion, of which the trailer is the most important. In fact, since the film entered post-production, Yanhuang Film Company has successively launched two versions of the trailer, which are very good in production and have achieved good publicity results. However, both versions only captured one of the xiǎo parts, which is less convincing, so the ultimate version trailer needs to be released.
Liang Xiǎo Long is particularly concerned about this matter, after all, he has invested so much money, if he can't make it back at the box office, I'm afraid he will become a laughing stock in Hollywood.
"All the monsters have to be on the trailer." Liang Xiǎo Long has long made up his mind that the plot of the film is one thing, but what really attracts the audience's attention is the audio-visual effect, so the trailer should still be based on the eyeballs of the audience. Only if the audience sees the trailer and thinks that walking into the cinema is worth the trip, then they will be happy to walk into the cinema.
"But if you ignore the plot, the audience will think that this is a purely commercial film, and it will also make the film lose part of the audience." Peter disagreed, believing that it would be safer to take the traditional route, and that editing the trailer into a xiǎo story and then incorporating certain special effects would achieve good results.
"The film is adapted from xiǎo theory, and it is also a film called xiǎo theory, you can rest assured." Liang Xiǎo Long is very relieved, Xiǎo said that "I Am Legend" is a bestseller, the content is very jing, and it is admired by many books. And, putting this aside, there is also Liang Xiǎolong's personal box office appeal, who doesn't know that Liang Xiǎo Long is particularly good at integrating art and commerce, how can his films be simple commercial films? Therefore, in terms of publicity, putting aside one point and focusing on another point can often achieve unexpected results.
"What about the movement?" Peter asked again, in his opinion, "Legend of Doom" is also a big highlight in the design of the action, and there are two reasons for this. First of all, the action films "Cops and Thieves", "Black Fist" and "Million Dollar Baby" created by Liang Xiǎo Long are all hailed as the pinnacle of Hollywood action movies. Secondly, Liang Xiǎo Dragon can fight is famous all over the world, and many viewers will rush into the movie theater with a gimmick for Liang Xiǎo Dragon starring himself in an action movie.
"Of course it has to be blended in." Liang Xiǎo Long naturally will not miss this highlight, the action design of "Legend of Doom" incorporates a lot of his hard work, and many actions that he dared to think of before were completed by himself in this film, and they were all completed without the help of props, which is extremely real. In addition, during the filming, he also paid the price of injury, which attracted the strong attention of the filmmakers, and there was no reason not to let the filmmakers see Jingcai's action scenes in advance.
"Nothing else, right?" Peter said with a smile that it was already very difficult to edit the two aspects of the trailer that was only three minutes, and if Liang Xiǎo Long had to incorporate other factors, then he would have to pick and choose.
"Of course...... No. Liang Xiǎo Long patted him on the shoulder and left, he was not good at editing, and it was still for the professionals to deal with. Moreover, the final stage of propaganda is about to begin, and he can't be idle.
Back in the United States, Liang Xiǎo Long immediately held a press conference, and in the face of reporters' questions, he talked eloquently, especially when the reporter asked him what he thought of the ticket side of the film "Legend of Doom", he said with a smile: "The box office is usually used to measure the success of a film, but before the box office comes out, I don't have much guessing." However, as a filmmaker, what I am looking forward to more is not the box office of the film, but whether the movie I shoot can bring beauty to everyone. I hope that after many years, when I watch "Legend of Doom" again, I will not have any regrets in my heart, because I have reached the limit of the times in terms of the special effects of the film. ”
Putting too much emphasis on the box office will only give people a feeling of arrogance, after all, the record on the box office list is Cameron's "Titanic", not his "Million Baby", so Liang Xiǎo Long's answer is quite decent. However, in terms of special effects, Liang Xiǎo Long seems a little arrogant, the limit of an era, will it be reflected in a film?
The reporters immediately asked about this topic, and Liang Xiǎo Long had no stage fright: "Tomorrow, the last version of the trailer will come out, and after watching it, I think you will all think that it is almost real." In this regard, the model of the monster is more derived from reality, demonizing the animals in reality, but adhering to the characteristics of animals in reality, which can definitely stab your eyeballs. ”
Immediately, another reporter asked: "Captain, in "Million Dollar Baby", the background of virtual networks such as bamboo forests, mountains, and cliffs is simulated through digital virtual technology, and many breakthroughs in special effects technology have been made. And the entire New York City in "Legend of Doom" is also virtualized through digital technology, does it use the concept of "Million Dollar Baby"? ”
"It's not the same concept." Liang Xiǎo Long immediately retorted: "With the development of special effects technology, digital virtual technology has become mature enough, and it is very difficult to shoot in reality, and scenes with great costs can be produced with digital technology." So, whether it's the virtual background of "Million Dollar Baby" or the New York City of "Doomsday Legend", it's a kind of sign of the development of special effects technology. Just like Mr. Cameron's "Titanic", its hull is also simulated through digital special effects, and it is believed that this technology will be widely used in the future. ”
The reporter originally hoped that Liang Xiǎo Long would say yes, then he could use 'Liang Xiǎo Long copied the idea of the previous film' to hype, but Liang Xiǎo Long is now completely telling the truth, leaving him speechless. Indeed, with the development of special effects technology, many things that are impossible to do in reality can be produced well through digital technology. It can even be guessed that many years later, actors don't have to rush to the set to film, all of them are filmed in the studio, and then restored with special effects technology.
The reporters changed their words and began to ask Jessica: "Sister Alba Xiǎo, before this, you mostly filmed action movies and comedy films, why do you want to try to play the NV protagonist of "Legend of Doom", I have seen Xiǎo said that the original work, the NV protagonist is mainly literary drama. ”
"That's why I took on the film, because I hope to be a man of a thousand faces in the future." Jessica smiled sweetly, as if to say: For the future, Sister Benxiǎo has a good plan.
"In other words, if you want to make a transformation, do you think your performance in the film was successful?" The reporter pressed to ask that this kind of question is actually very acute, and whether Jessica answers yes or no, it will be criticized. However, soon the reporter was disappointed, and Liang Xiǎo Long naturally took over the conversation: "Jesse and I have worked together many times, and I am very pleased, her acting skills have been growing, and her performance in "Legend of Doom" is also very colorful. I believe that after the release of the film, everyone will see a successful transformation of Jessica. ”
"Every current director is easy to fool, and young directors are no exception." The reporters despised Liang Xiǎo Long's behavior of stealing the camera, but they were helpless, Liang Xiǎo Long is not a third-rate Xiǎo director, he is the most popular director in Hollywood, provoke him, I'm afraid the newspaper will not dare to use you.
In the end, reporters could only give up the fault-finding method of asking questions and start talking about movies honestly. In this way, the atmosphere is much more pleasant, and on the premise that si life is not allowed, Liang Xiǎo Long, Jessica, and Sophie are all happy to break the news, and try to make everyone come and return happy.
The next day, Liang Xiǎo Long, Jessica and Sophie Bing went to China, Britain and France respectively to promote the overseas box office for a blockbuster, and none of those countries with strong box office spending power can be spared. As for those countries that are poor and xiǎo, they are basically no longer on the itinerary, after all, the crew is limited and cannot take care of every country.
In the United States, major media have reported on yesterday's press conference, in which the Chicago Sun wrote: The captain claims that "Legend of Doom" will be the limit of special effects technology in this era, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. If you're still not convinced, watch the trailer, which presents you with a whole new world.
The trailer has come out, and the first scene at the beginning is the American symbol - Sea Eagle, imitating the huge Condor in "The Lord of the Rings" to attack the ground in the clouds, the lightning speed makes people stunned, such a picture is by no means what can be seen on the science and education channel, including the wind blowing máo hair, the eyes of the sea eagle, and the subtle changes in direction are all clearly expressed, making people wonder, is this really done by special effects technology?
Liang Xiǎo Long likes this shot very much, that look, that speed, that explosiveness, he is simply a peerless master. But during the production, Peter was distressed to death, and the cost of various shots of the Seahawk was as high as eight million dollars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was burning money.
ps: I had a hangover yesterday and had a terrible headache, and I couldn't go to the Internet café, I'm very sorry. As soon as I arrived at school today, the director has returned five or six chapters, and the book will be completed soon, thanks to the support of my friends.
