The news of the completion of "The Shawshank Redemption" blew like the wind across the country, and then spread all over the world through the Internet. From this time on, Tianwang Film and Television began to deliberately advertise for this movie, and purchased important positions on many foreign movie websites, such as Movie Network, IMBD, Rotten Tomatoes and other websites with many fans, to promote "The Shawshank Redemption".

After Wang Shang finished finishing, he began post-processing. Many characters will stay and wait for the summons of the post-production team, because of this movie, Wang Shang is ready to use post-dubbing for the most part.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was not long, but it took 9 months to shoot, and it was with elite actors, senior staff, and complete materials, so the quality was naturally a little higher.

Wang Shang watched a lot of clips and became more confident in the results of this movie.

"The Shawshank Redemption" in the former time and space actually has a lot of shortcomings.

Most of the inmates in the prison are too good people, especially the small boss Black Red, who has become a good person, and always gives people a sense of awkwardness. In the end, Wang Shang thought about it and added some bad guys.

At the same time, Wang Shang gave an explanation for becoming good people - they are all murderers, robbers, and rape murderers, so the sentence is very long, and then after a long time of polishing, all the 'bad popularity' has been polished, and they have become a person who is accustomed to the peaceful life of prison.

Just like the old man who committed suicide after being released on parole, and his partner with the protagonist Red.

Wang Shang discussed the plot with others while filming. It's like the plot of the roof repair, Wang Shang filmed something different from the previous time and space through discussions with others.

"The Shawshank Redemption" began to promote while doing the post-production.

On the Internet, various promotional stills of movies, photos of court verdicts, photos of people who were saddened to prison, photos of prisoners beaten by prison guards, photos of sitting on the rooftop drinking beer and enjoying the sun, loose photos of wandering in the prison playground, and photos of the laundry room being harassed by......

The movies full of prison 'style' immediately attracted the attention of many fans. There are too few prison movies in recent years, and there are only a dozen or so in the world, and they are all average, so the prison style of "Shawshank" immediately attracted fans.

And at this time, more and more fans began to call for its trailer to be released as soon as possible. However, Wang Shang is considering that the post-release will be completed during the summer vacation, so it is not suitable to take it out for publicity too early.

"It's a pity that the Golden Dragon Awards will be held next month, and there is no way to get the Golden Dragon Awards, otherwise it can add a lot of exposure to the movie." Wang Shang sighed when chatting with Bi Han in the office.

Bi Han smiled: "It's okay, if we release it in the summer, we can get the Oak Cup of the European Union to participate in the exhibition, and then exhibit at the Cannes Film Festival, these two large-scale film festivals must have a great promotion effect on this film." ”

Film festivals around the world, in addition to cultural honors, also have great commercial significance, the most obvious is the former time and space "Slumdog Millionaire", which at the beginning, the box office response in some parts of the world was lackluster, and the popularity was average.

But since the Oscar nominations were announced, the film's box office in North America has suddenly skyrocketed, from a few million to $50 million. And when it won 8 Oscars, the global box office finally rose to an exaggerated level of 350 million US dollars.

Therefore, many movies will deliberately take the Oscar boat and use it to increase the box office of the movie.

The Cannes Film Festival also has a similar role, and its scope is not limited to the films released last year, even the films that have not been released can be screened in the film festival, which is undoubtedly much more 'close to the people' than the Oscars.

It is worth mentioning that the newly established Huaxia Golden Dragon Award and the EU Oak Award are also set.

"By the way, someone has started to look for me in this year's Spring Festival Gala and asked if you want to be the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Wang Shang was stunned: "Why did you call you?" I don't know. ”

Bi Han laughed and said: "They say that it is too difficult to find you, either the phone is not answered, or the email is not read, or no one can be found...... Do you know how helpless the people who come to me are? It's just a bitter face. Just think about the Spring Festival Gala, and if you agree, give them a reply, they gave you the chief director of the entire Spring Festival Gala. Know what your fans out there say about you? I've been expecting you to be able to direct a Spring Festival Gala for a long time, and the demand is still very high. ”

"......," Wang was speechless, "let me think about it." ”

When Wang Shang returned home in the evening, he deliberately checked it on the Internet, similar to the official website, post bar, Weibo, a large fan gathering place, at this time, there are indeed a large number of fans calling on Wang Shang to take charge of next year's director, and the official website and post bar have a very popular post, top 23 million floors, and the title is - "Kneel and beg the king to direct the Spring Festival Gala!! 》。

Click in and take a look, most of them are strong demands, strong appeals, kneeling begging, etc......

Wang Shang checked the Internet suspiciously, and suddenly understood that the national television station announced the list of directors of the 2016 Spring Festival Gala on the Internet (to be determined), and Wang Shang became one of the chief directors of the entire show. So the Internet began to coax, after all, Wang Shang has made such terrifying achievements in movies, TV series, animation and other achievements are not low, how about 'messing' the Spring Festival Gala now?

Wang Shang's huge popularity suddenly covered those directors of previous years, as well as other candidates, and became the most popular chief director.

"No wonder......" Wang Shang hasn't paid attention to this network for too long, and no one has mentioned it to Wang Shang.

"Maybe you can try it, anyway, "Shawshank" won't be released until the summer vacation, and the next movie won't start filming until next year...... There's a head! Wang Shang clapped his hands and finally made up his mind.

However, the Spring Festival Gala program is a bit nerve-wracking, and I heard that there are a lot of shady scenes in the Spring Festival Gala, which is difficult to deal with. For this reason, Wang Shang hesitated again, because he really didn't want to wade into troubled waters.

Wang Shang picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Senior Zheng, do you have time?" Coming out for a drink? ”

After chatting for a while and hanging up, Wang Shang made another call: "Director Xu, are you free?" …… You happen to be in the magic capital? That's great. ”

Then there was a phone call: "Mr. Zhang, I want to ask you something...... Come to my house? All right! Welcome, welcome! ”

After making three phone calls, Wang Shang finally had a little bottom in his heart. The three people Wang Shang is looking for are all people who have entered the Spring Festival Gala, a director Zheng Long who has a favor for Wang Shang; One is Xu Ke, who has a foundation for cooperation and is familiar; The other is the old-timer of the Spring Festival Gala program group. Wang Shang called them, mainly to learn from them.

Soon Wang Shang met with Director Zheng Long.

After eating, Wang Shang began to ask the topic: "I just want to ask some insider things, I hate those messy things." ”

Zheng Long said with a smile: "I said you, what a freak, the business is so big, but you don't want to be a businessman, but you have the stubborn arrogance of a literati...... Yes, tsundere. How can someone like you be fit for business? It's weird. ”

Wang Shang smiled: "I'm not a businessman, I'm a director, and I'm a filmmaker, so naturally I'm a little arrogant." But the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, this is indeed very tempting. ”

Zheng Long nodded, this is indeed something that a director is looking forward to very much.

Wang Shang added: "There is also the 2020 Olympic Games, which is also a good place......

Zheng Long was taken aback and raised his eyes to look at Wang Shang.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let me tell you about the Spring Festival Gala...... I've never been a chief director, so I'll talk about the type I'm responsible for. ”

Wang Shang hurriedly listened carefully to the lecture as a student.

"In the beginning, the motivation was really to create a festive atmosphere. But in the past two years, it has gone sour. The audience on the outside can see that something is wrong, but the inside is not so clear. This is a huge golden egg, and the TV station will never put it into this money-making project. So, now it has gradually evolved into a money-making tool. ”

Wang Shang was also shocked: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”.
