Chapter 156: Filming Locations (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
ps: The competition for monthly passes is extremely fierce, asking for a monthly pass~~Broken knots~~~Moda~~
Perhaps it is a problem of personal leadership style, Wang Shang has always felt very close to his subordinates, resulting in their lack of pressure at work, which is also one of the reasons for this conflict.
However, after Wang Shang became mad, the atmosphere of the entire studio became depressing, and every employee became cautious.
Wang Shang also temporarily shelved the preparation of "Fast and Furious" and personally joined the post-production. And in terms of post-dubbing, Wang Shang also provided some pre-space-time dubbing, which accelerated post-production.
For three days in a row, Wang Shang never left the post-production team for a single step, ordered takeout when he ate, and found a big chair to sleep directly when he rested and slept.
The entire post-production team is working hard for "To Youth", forgetting to sleep and eating, and working day and night.
Finally, on the fourth day, the finished film that met Wang Shang's requirements was edited. On the same day, it was sent to the Radio and Television Bureau non-stop. The next day, the review was passed, and no knife was cut. This was followed by intense copying work.
Finally on the evening of December 22, 2,500 copies of the movie were delivered to the major movie theaters in China, and the next day was the official release time.
As for the premiere, Wang Shang can only say that there is no time left, although there are many fans looking forward to it.
On December 23, "To Youth" finally began to be released amid great expectations.
On the day of the release. Thursday. Although it was not a Saturday or Sunday, many fans came to the cinema to watch it.
Every good movie has a ticketing frenzy on its premiere day, and To Youth is no exception.
The continuous publicity some time ago and the big sale of the novel's publication have accumulated millions of fans, and the fans who are looking forward to the release of this movie have reached tens of millions.
And now there just happen to be no other movies released on the same day, so in the major movie theaters, most fans are watching "To Youth".
"Waiter, bring me two tickets for "To Youth"!!"
As soon as the flow passed, all the people in line were buying tickets for "To Youth", and it took less than twenty minutes. The first "To Youth" has already sold out.
An hour later. Tickets for both the noon and afternoon sessions have also been sold!
After reading the novels "Those Years" and "To Youth", fans who had strong expectations for the movie eagerly poured into the screening room.
Ten minutes later, the movie officially begins.
In the somewhat nostalgic picture shot, Zheng Wei, a young girl named Xiaofeilong, came to the university in high spirits. wants to pursue his childhood sweetheart, the big brother next door, Lin Qing. It turned out to be a no-brainer.
As the movie keeps playing. Scenes in the school keep coming.
The senior brother welcomes the new junior sister with bad intentions, the dilapidated dormitory, the electric stove, the club recruits members, the school flower, the canteen...... Jealousy, love and hate, brave pursuit......
"Zheng Wei is good, if you like it, you will chase it, even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!!"
"I feel that Chen Xiaozheng is not a good person. He probably values interests more, maybe he likes Zheng Wei, but he probably likes that sense of accomplishment more......"
"I really want to beat him up with that dormitory manager!!"
"Xu Kaiyang is a good person, although he has the arrogance of a son-in-law, he has nothing to say to his friends...... Well, the chapter opening is not bad......"
"Ruan Guan is a good woman, but it's a pity to follow a cowardly person."
As the film continues to deepen, in the continuous laughter, fans also began to recall their own youth without regrets, daring to love and hate, and even heartless.
Youth is like a rain, although it will make people sick after drenching, but it will always make people want to be drenched again.
As the plot of the movie continues to advance, the movie begins to become heavy, although there are some funny ones from time to time, but it makes people feel a sense of sadness.
"Chen Xiaozheng is really not a good thing, in order to go to the United States, he abandoned Zheng Wei, who loved him deeply."
"Zheng Wei is really stupid, he was the last one to know that Chen Xiao was going to the United States."
"It's a pity that Ruan Wan is so bad, it's really not worth dying like this......"
"Zhang Kai's 'Confession of a Supporting Role' reminds me of him, a person who has been silently accompanying this group of people, who has always been inconspicuous, so touching......"
At the end of the play, Zheng Wei finally rejected Lin Qing and Chen Xiaozheng's marriage proposal.
"We all love ourselves more than we love love......" ended the whole movie with this sentence.
After the movie ended, many people applauded with tears in their eyes. And the people who originally wanted to come in and have fun will not affect their mood because of the right grasp of the heavy part.
Those who are full of joy in their hearts will get joy through this movie; Those who have thorns in their hearts have also tasted the ups and downs of youth through this movie.
Soon, the official website and mtime gathered a lot of fans to present their own viewing experience, except for a small number of 'incomprehensible' and 'messy' evaluations, most of them were praised, although they were not as brisk as "Those Years", but they also had a different feeling of youth.
At 24 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the rating on mtime was finally set at 8.5 points. Perhaps it was too heavy compared to "Those Years", and this movie was slightly worse in terms of ratings.
The next day was Friday, and major theaters also ushered in many fans who wanted to watch "To Youth", and that night on Christmas Eve, the movie "To Youth" was even more popular. Both shows were full!
And in the afternoon of this day, Wang Shang got the box office statistics, 2,500 screens, and a single-day box office of 42 million!!
The box office is not high, but considering that it is Thursday and the promotion is not as good as the previous films, this box office is not bad.
However, although the box office on this first day was not as popular as "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", it was not small, and it was enough to make other producers look at it.
On Saturday (Christmas Day, December 25), "No Thieves in the World" starring two major male and female stars in Xiangjiang was officially released, and the limelight of "To Youth" was temporarily taken away by "No Thieves in the World", and most of the fans flocked to "No Thieves in the World".
On Sunday, "No Thieves in the World" continued to maintain its lead, attracting countless fans.
And in these three days, "To Youth" won 4100, 5200, and 51 million box office respectively, and the box office reached 186 million yuan on Thursday alone.
Wang Shang finally let go of his grim face and smiled at his subordinates. As for the post-production team and director Wang Yiyi, Wang Shang directly deducted a large amount of salary, and finally rewarded the success of the film with red envelopes.
As for the movie "No Thieves in the World", it swept 62 million and 61 million on Saturday and Sunday, becoming the box office champion in a single day.
Although "To Youth" is not as popular as "No Thieves in the World", it still makes other movies of the same period red.
……
Just when the "To Youth" movie was being released, Wang Shang began to urgently form the "Fast and Furious" crew.
The director must be Wang Shang himself, and Wang Shangke will not let it go to others to earn fame and benefits.
And the assistant director also has action directors, scene reporters, cameramen, and lighting engineers Wang Shang is ready to summon a little more, because this movie is larger than any movie Wang Shang has ever made, and the crew must also be upgraded.
In terms of special effects, Wang Shang has already notified DigitalSequirse that he is ready to prepare special effects artists to come to do shooting guidance, and will officially arrive at the crew in the next three days.
In addition to forming a crew, Wang Shang also had to choose a filming location.
If you want hot beauties as a foil to the movie, the first choice must be tropical and subtropical, and Guangzhou, Yunbian and Nanhai provinces have naturally become the first choice. Otherwise, in the cold weather in the north, it is cold and cold to ask beautiful women to wear short skirts and hot pants, isn't this a toss?
In the end, Wang Shang finalized several cities near the seaside, because the seaside scenery is more suitable for this kind of hot movie, and it can also additionally promote local tourism, presumably the local government will definitely like this cooperation even more.
Several Wang Shang took the filming director, screenwriter, and marketing team to form a team and went straight to the south, and selected several cities in Guangdong Province and Nanhai Province for inspection. There needs to be a runway suitable for sports cars, and there needs to be policy support from the local government......
After more than ten days of investigation, Wang Shang and the others finally settled in Nanhai Province, where there is a very developed road traffic system, a fiery climate, and a beautiful golden color, huh...... There are also beach bikini beauties that the expedition team likes very much......
After visiting several locations, it was to consult with the local government and seek policy support.
Perhaps because of this time-space policy atmosphere, the government is very supportive of the filmmaking industry, and when Wang Shang and his delegation visited, they were basically greeted by the secretary of the municipal party committee, and they were very polite.
"We need helicopter support, we need the support of the police station, and we need to close the streets...... Wang Shang directly said his request.
"However, we can increase the filming of attractions in the film, and have supporting publicity plans, and I believe that these publicity plans have a very strong publicity effect on local attractions. At the same time, this film is ready to hit the European and American film market, and I am also confident, so choosing to shoot here is very beneficial to enhance the popularity of local attractions. ”
Wang Shang's words made these government officials happy, but they also had doubts: "I don't know what guarantee Mr. Wang takes?" ”
"I take the investment of 350 million yuan, as well as the investment intention of those large companies as a guarantee!!"
The tone is categorical and unconvincing.
