Chapter 107: Death is Coming! (Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )

On April 15, following the box office storm in Taiwan, the much-anticipated "Those Years" DVD finally went on sale.

Star Entertainment used all its distribution channels to send all the burned DVDs to all parts of the country.

In terms of online video, Star Entertainment has also negotiated a relevant agreement with QQTV, one of the six video network giants, and is ready to land on the network video station at the same time as the DVD disc.

And the sales promotion about "Those Years" has already begun, in addition to promoting various box office results, there are also happy endings that are different from those in cinemas.

Although the ending of the cinema version of "Those Years" is very poignant, it is always a tragedy, so the audience who is entangled by too much reality obviously prefers the ending of 'Shen Jiayi and Ke Jingteng' together.

On the same day, two versions of the DVD and the online video were a big hit. The DVD sold 1 million copies on the first day, and the online video sold 50 million copies directly, which is terrifying! The amount was directly sold to 100 million!!

In the days that followed, sales slowed dramatically, but many film studios were blushing.

The hot sales of "Those Years" naturally attracted the attention of the media, and they followed up and reported one after another, looking for Wang Shang's traces more actively.

After searching for many days, a small media finally found Wang Shang's family in the South Airport of Modu by chance.

Others may not recognize Wang Shang, whose image has changed greatly, but this little reporter has just interviewed Wang Shang at close range during the New Year, so he feels familiar at first glance, and he recognizes it at second sight.

The reporter was not too reckless in his delight. Instead, he kept a low profile and followed Wang Shang's family without alarming others.

His performance made Wang Shang agree with it. Given his polite behavior just now. Wang Shang made a special case and allowed him to interview alone.

The young reporter was about twenty-four years old, and he was fairly young-looking. It is estimated that it was just now, and he was obviously very excited to see Wang Shang, and even a little incoherent.

"Don't be nervous, we're about the same age, just relax and ask."

Wang Shang's kindness obviously made the nervous and excited reporter relax, turned on the recorder, and asked: "Hello Director Wang, my name is Huang Qi, a reporter from "Entertainment Starlight Daily". Recently, "Those Years" received a super high box office in Taiwan. has ascended to the box office champion in Taiwan's Chinese film history, I don't know what Director Wang has to say? ”

Wang Shang thought of the amazing box office results achieved by "Those Years" in Taiwan in the previous time and space, and said: "As a film adapted from a Taiwanese story, plus it is good enough, it is not surprising to be able to get such results in Taiwan." As long as it is a good movie, there will be an audience who likes it. ”

Huang Qi then asked: "This time, "Those Years" found exactly the same prototype characters in Taiwan, but they are all relatively young, I don't know what Director Wang thinks?" ”

For this matter, Wang Shang also had a little pain. I didn't expect that the butterfly effect of this time and space did not affect those few people.

However, Wang Shang had already had a case and explained directly: "I didn't expect that in the end, I was still fooled." But it's also possible that he wasn't fooled, but that the person who told me the story applied his story to someone he knew, maybe this person was the teacher or relative of these archetypal students......"

Huang Qi was in a mood of fanatical worship in Wang Shang's arms at this time. So naturally I didn't find that Wang Shang was a little weak when he said this.

Huang Qi quickly asked the following thing, which is also one thing that countless people are concerned about: "I don't know if Director Wang already has a new film plan?" ”

Huang Qi's gaze was filled with eagerness and anticipation.

"Yes!!"

Hearing this, Huang Qi's hands couldn't help but tremble.

Wang Shang looked at this rookie reporter who had not yet learned to control his emotions. Laughed.

Huang Qi took a deep breath and calmed down a little. Eagerly asked, "I don't know what this movie is called?" What type? What is the production budget? ”

I asked several questions in one breath, and only after asking did I feel that I was rude. Hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

"It's a thriller, it's called 'Death is Coming,' and there's no violence in it, it's going to be a horror movie like no other. As for the budget, it is tentatively set at 70 million yuan, and then it will be necessary to go to the United States to do special effects. ”

Originally, the production cost of "Death is Coming 1" was 20 million, but the reason for such little investment was that the production company was not optimistic about its box office performance, so it did not dare to invest too much, so the picture quality of the movie was not very good.

And now that it is Wang Shang's turn to shoot it, he is naturally full of confidence in its box office, plus "Those Years" earned more than 100 million yuan, and 70 million was spent without distress.

Wang Shang ignored Huang Qi's surprise and continued: "You should know about the 2.17 plane accident, my idea was what I thought of at that time, if the customer didn't board the plane that day because of special things, maybe the result would be different." Every time you board a plane, you will feel that you are putting your destiny in the hands of others, according to this imagination, how will fate be intertwined with life, and become a red light at the intersection of our lives? ”

"It was also because of this idea that when I accompanied my parents on the plane to Hainan for a trip, I suddenly had a sense of fear, wondering if I would also encounter this red light?" Wang Shang smiled, when he first took the plane, he was still thinking about "The Grim Reaper", so he was somewhat afraid of taking the plane, so that he was always uneasy on the plane.

When we reached the South China Sea safely and stepped on the thick soil, the uneasiness gradually subsided.

"Imagine that there is a Grim Reaper staring at you closely, and he will use all kinds of dangers to deal with you all the time, such as designing coincidences to make you slip and fall and hit your head to death, make you electrocuted by electric leakage, and let you be stuck to death by a falling knife......"

Wang Shang said to himself, not seeing that Huang Qi's mouth was getting bigger and bigger because of the shock.

"I call this design a death design!!"

……

The next day, the Entertainment Starlight newspaper began to devote an entire newspaper page to reporting the first-hand information it had interviewed yesterday.

"Wang Shang's filial piety is commendable, and he accompanies his parents to play in Hainan for a month and a half."

"Wang Shang's new script has been finalized, and the genre is thrilling and terrifying, and it is urgent to recruit assistant directors, lighting, cinematography, sets, and scene notes with rich experience in the genre......"

"Wang Shang is new again, following the costumes, funny, and youth, and began to move towards thrillers, I don't know if he can still continue to be brilliant?"

"Wang Shang claims that the budget for this film will reach 70 million yuan!!"

"When death is designed, you have no way to escape, only one death!!"

As soon as this newspaper came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry, and the number of newspaper sales skyrocketed that day, and it took four consecutive reprints to meet the market demand of the entire magic capital.

And the coverage on the network deliberately lagged by 12 hours.

When the news was fully made public, the number of hits on the "Entertainment Starlight News" page instantly increased by 5 times.

At this time, Wang Shang can be said to have swept the whole of China with the power of the box office hit of "Those Years", and the news about his new movie naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Box office coverage of "Those Years" was immediately suppressed, and most of the attention was focused on the new movie.

Media reports are in full swing, and many experienced directors and field reporters in China have sent resumes to apply, and there are many followers.

Soon, Tianwang Studio received hundreds of emails, and there were more than 20 people who applied for the assistant director position, and there were more than a dozen other positions.

In addition to these prospective applicants, there are also investors who come to visit every day, and their hearts are also impatient.

More than a dozen investors want to invest in this film, some want a piece of the pie, and some want to make joint profits. Of course, in addition to investors, there are also advertisers.

"I'm sorry, the specific script hasn't been fully written yet, at least until May."

Hearing this, these investors immediately lost interest. Without a script, how is it possible to pick out more money from them?

However, this does not mean that these investors are not interested, and when the script is completed, they will definitely run back and ask for investment.

The script that Wang Shang has written for half a month is only the general framework of "The Grim Reaper", which is not perfect enough, and it needs to be filled in constantly. The reason why we recruit experienced assistant directors, scene managers and others is to gather them to discuss the script and discuss the specific details.

The plot of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" in the former time and space all took place in the United States, so there are some things that may not be suitable for China's national conditions.

Doing professional things for professional people is Wang Shang's creed. With their joining, strive to make a better script than the previous time and space "Death is Coming 1"!

Regarding the media's surprise at his 70 million production budget, Wang Shang felt a sense of superiority in his heart. Think about the "Avatar" that claims to invest 500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 4.2 billion yuan.

Compared with the investment of 4.2 billion, what is the movie with an investment of 70 million? It's so ashamed that I can't feel ashamed.

After the film was finished, I began to move on to other films, slowly increasing investment, and then learning things during the filming process, and slowly mastering the rhythm of shooting blockbusters.

Pave the way for future big-budget movies such as "Transformers", "Avatar" and other films.

As for China's flood wilderness, Western fantasy Warcraft or something, when their abilities and computer special effects are improved to that height in the future, they will definitely not be let go!! (To be continued......)
