Chapter 174: Preview Screening
An innocent stallion was tragically "exploded", and the crew had to break a fortune and pay its owner a sum of money.
Fortunately, the remaining horses are all mares, and the meteor has been able to get interested day and night, and it will catch which horse it is, which one is really in the limelight, and within a few days, even the surrounding crew knows its name.
When Yang Mi heard about this, he deliberately came to watch, and at the end he didn't forget to sarcastically mock Yue Song: "Where did you find the big sรจ horse?" It's almost time to catch up with you. โ
"What's the mess, it's tickling, isn't it?" Yue Song's face was dark, and she was a little helpless about this grinning girl.
Yang Micai was not afraid of his threat, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and asked secretly: "I heard that you are deeply trapped in the daughter country this time, and you are very happy!" How's that, did you take it all? โ
"I haven't taken you yet, how dare I say anything else?" Yue Song looked at her with a smile and said meaningfully: "When are you going to dedicate yourself, tell me first, don't make me wait for a long time." โ
Yang Mi snorted, turned around and ran.

The next filming became more and more difficult, except for Yue Song, who was still at ease, everyone else complained bitterly, although the crew was subjected to the mind-stirring technique, and turned a blind eye to Yue Song's magical ability that was not like a human, it did not mean that they had lost their ability to think for themselves, except that they could agree to Yue Song's request to keep it secret for him, there was no difference between everyone and usual.
With more than fifteen hours of shooting every day, the first thing that can't hold up is not others, but a few heroines.
Gao Yuanyuan was the first to fall ill, affected by the cooler weather, and accidentally suffered from a severe cold, followed by Zhou Xiuna, this chick was infected by Gao Yuanyuan.
Chen Zihan was fine, but he was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he was filming a fight scene, he was accidentally poked in the knee with a prop, and he couldn't stand on his knees on the spot.
After the hospital examination, although it was not a major event, it still needed at least a week's rest.
Yan Yue was the only one spared, thanks to her good physical fitness, she was still a lively one.
This also made Yue Song puzzled, taking the performance in bed as an example, Chen Zihan could last for about half an hour, but Yan Yue could only hold on for a quarter of an hour at most, if Yue Songsuo was ruthless, she would faint when the time came.
It seems that physical fitness may not be able to be manifested in all aspects - this is Yue Song's only gain.
The roles of several heroines were temporarily moved back, and Yue Song put his one-man show together, preparing to shoot all at once, and then shoot other scenes, so that the three patients could rest for a few more days.
While rushing to shoot the rest of the plot, Liu Xin, who was far away in North America, also came with good news-
Martial Arts - The final trailer from scratch has been successfully completed!
said that it was made, but it was actually the three versions released before, but it was reworked by the studio under Yue Song, and it looked more beautiful.
After getting the sample, Yihe Xingguang's side, Bao Minxing immediately started to act, taking advantage of Yue Song's popularity not falling back for the time being, and posted the final version of the trailer on the Internet, ready to do whatever it takes to hype.
Of course, these publicity costs are borne by Yue Song personally, because the filming of the martial arts trilogy has little to do with Yihe Starlight, so Bao Minxing does not intend to save money for him, and throws in 10 million real gold and silver publicity expenses in one go.
Speaking of which, the investment in the martial arts trilogy is claimed to be 150 million, but in fact, it can't even do one-third.
After calculating all the expenses, there are 50 million that Yue Song "borrowed" from the big guy, plus 10 million from himself, and 20 million from the emperor.
Obviously, it is impossible for all of these 80 million to be used for film shooting, first of all, the emperor's 20 million was misappropriated by Yue Song to the computer special effects studio in North America, and his own 10 million was used as publicity expenses.
But these 50 million are not all used by Yue Song, firstly, the absolute protagonist of these three movies is him, mainly involving large-scale action scenes, basically it doesn't cost much, and the post-production of special effects is even more money-saving, take Liu Xin's words, the three videos sent by Yue Song, the reproduction of the studio used less than 30,000 in total.
Liu Xin even admitted that a Mexican-American bearded man in the studio was very unhappy with this, thinking that Yue Song was testing them with the already produced footage.
Obviously, with the most professional eyes of these people, they can't see the authenticity of these three videos at all, and they all feel that this is already the finished product made by the best special effects team, and letting them do post-processing is purely a matter of adding to the picture.
As everyone knows, what Yue Song wants is this "painting snake", he just wants to make the special effects of this movie look less real through the toss of these people.
After calculating it before and after, Yue Song also made an account in his heart, the filming of the martial arts trilogy will cost about 35 million, and after deducting the publicity costs, he can save a full 15 million on hand!
Based on his calculations for the next movie, this fifteen million is almost enough.
Before the release of the martial arts trilogy, the biggest source of funds for the studio was the 200 million cash injected by Yihe Starlight, which he didn't plan to use so quickly, but putting such a large sum of money on the account was obviously a great waste, Yue Song pondered in his heart and decided to speed up the plan.
After the hurricane rescued, the growth in the number of fanatics has flattened or even approached zero, often at the end of the day, and only one or two people have gone from fanatics to fanatics.
To this day, the number of fanatical followers in Yue Song's divine consciousness totaled more than 1,300, which was far from the 10,000 people he needed to advance to the next great realm.
The martial arts trilogy has its own limitations of the genre, and it can probably only be released in the three East Asian countries, and the box office in South Asia is to be determined, and there is little hope in Europe and the United States.
A Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, plus a hero, almost exhausted the enthusiasm of white Europeans and Americans for kung fu movies in advance, which is also the reason why Yue Song is not optimistic about the release of the martial arts trilogy in Europe and the United States.
However, it is still a little early to say this, and everything depends on the subsequent development.

After several days of hard work, with the continuous efforts of everyone in the crew, the martial arts trilogy was officially completed on October 28th!
Including Yue Song, everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly.
This is his first work as a director, and the result is that one shot is three consecutive shots, not to mention this kind of thing in China, even if you look at the world, you may not be able to find a second one, not to mention that his age is still so young.
Even in the early stage of promoting the first part of the film - starting from scratch, Bao Minxing did not dare to say bluntly that the director of this movie was Yue Song himself, but used the fuzzy method.
Now that all the trilogy has been filmed, Yue Song will also usher in the first major test after his debut - go to the capital to participate in the preview screening held at the Bona Cinema.
This test screening will be the first to be proposed by Bao Minxing, in the end, she has no bottom in her heart, so she plans to use this method to test the success of the film to see if it is as good as Yue Song said.
As for Yue Song himself, he is noncommittal about this, anyway, no matter what the people who participated in the test screening will think, this movie is a mirror of the real martial arts in his heart, and sooner or later he will be tested by the audience.
On the afternoon of the 27th, Yue Song came to a Bona International Cinema on Fuxing Road in Haidian alone, and Yihe Xingguang chartered a small hall here, which can accommodate about 500 people.
Counting the specially invited film critics and media reporters, Bao Minxing can be regarded as open this time, inviting more than 200 people!
Of course, so many people are mainly reporters, and most of the so-called professional film critics in China have the identity of a special guest reporter or guest writer.
Yue Song's appearance caused quite a stir, the box office hit of the hurricane rescue, and he himself has recently been out of the limelight, coupled with the "favor" of the great French director Luc Besson, and the fancy of Gaumont, the largest movie palace in France, have made the hurricane rescue the biggest news in the Chinese film industry recently.
It's just that this guy hides and doesn't see anyone, and the reporters who know that he is filming in Hengdian also make a special trip to interview, but in the end, no one can interview him.
For various reasons, this is the first time he has appeared in public in the past two months.
Seeing that the reporters were about to lose control, Bao Minxing, who was sitting in the front row, immediately pressed down with his hand, "Everyone, after watching the film, let's interview again, okay?" Xiao Song will leave enough time for you today, please don't worry. โ
With Bao Minxing's words, the reporters barely suppressed their impulses, thinking that they must pick a good position later.
Yue Song came to Bao Minxing and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Bao, why are so many reporters here?" It's not going to be a mess, is it? โ
"What's the mess? Are you still afraid of journalists? Bao Minxing glared at him, "Don't think I don't know, the person you kid is not afraid of is a reporter, if these people ask questions that are not easy to answer, you can be more leisurely!" โ
"Ann, you can rest assured." Yue Song waved his hand, but he didn't take what Bao Minxing said to heart.
Two minutes later, the light in the screening room suddenly dimmed, and the screen lit up at the same time, and the screening of the film officially began.
In line with the principle of saving as much as possible, the martial arts trilogy did not invite someone to score a separate soundtrack, and directly took some more artistic conception songs from the emperor's side, mainly based on the sound of flutes, from beginning to end, only a few ancient Chinese musical instruments are being moved, and there are no other theme songs or ending songs.
This unusual beginning has attracted the attention of many reporters.
As soon as the screen turns, the camera begins to shake, and the line of sight begins to expand, as if a person is running at high speed.
