Chapter 113: While the Shooting Is Going on (Qianmo Silent Alliance Leader!) )
Wang Shang's bombing behavior created a very big gimmick for "The Grim Reaper is Coming", which made more people pay attention to the movie, and even the casino began to waver a little.
As the popularity of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" continues to rise, it has also begun to accumulate hundreds of thousands of hardcore Grim Reaper fans throughout China. And Wang Shang, as the designer of the death design concept, is naturally widely loved by Death fans.
In the entertainment industry, Wang Shang has also begun to gradually sit on the throne of his creative and imaginative newcomer, if there are a few more eye-catching ideas, it is estimated that the word 'newcomer' will be removed.
As the popularity of "The Grim Reaper" continues to grow, more and more businesses come to request the insertion of commercials.
With cars: Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac, Maserati......
There are shopping mall advertisements: large billboards of landmark buildings in major shopping malls around the magic capital......
There are also all kinds of strange goods......
However, Wang Shang is not enthusiastic about this kind of advertising.
Horror films are different from ordinary commercial films, and conspicuous advertisements cannot be added casually, otherwise it will destroy the thrilling atmosphere of the whole movie, and make the tension that has been accumulated with great difficulty instantly turn into disgust for inserting advertisements......
In that case, the film will definitely drop a few notches.
It is precisely for this reason that those merchants will not give much money.
So Wang Shang definitely can't insert too many ads.
After Wang Shang pondered for a while, he thought of a few places where advertisements could be inserted, one was the car that several protagonists drove on the railway, which could be used with a car with a sign that was not so obvious.
And when the finale is about to end, the three protagonists go to another city to travel and relax. I thought I was out of danger, so the plot at that time would become very soft and relaxed. You can insert an ad or two at the right time. It doesn't matter if the viewer notices the ad, because this is when death will come again. On the contrary, the audience's mood will become more exciting because of the advertisement......
Wang Shang thought about it, discussed it with a few people in the crew, and felt that there was no problem, so he began to solicit advertisers.
Finally, after two days of negotiations, "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" finally identified three advertisers. They are BMW, two adjacent large shopping malls in Hangzhou, a tourist destination, and a total of 1.5 million advertising fees.
No matter how few mosquito legs are, there is meat.
As for the plane explosion, it can actually be advertised, but it is estimated that the airline will definitely refuse: shoot an advertisement for the plane explosion, and anyone will dare to come to the plane in the future?
……
Time passed. Gradually, it came to July 22.
From the start of filming on May 20 to now, more than two months have passed, driven by Xie Tingfeng's life-fighting performance, the rhythm of the entire crew has become very fast, everyone walks as if they are running, and everyone's mental will is tense.
It is precisely because of such a fast pace that the filming progress of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has also reached one-half.
In fact, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" does not have complicated acting requirements for actors, as long as you grasp emotions such as fear, shock, nervousness, and confusion, it is almost OK.
The most crucial part of the film is not the actors' performances, but the editing and dubbing. Make that weird, windy feeling, and it's a success. Of course, special effects are also very important to make people more intense and exciting.
Today, the 'teacher' in the movie was designed by the Grim Reaper in his own home.
Because of the filming of the scene of 'the house exploding due to a gas leak', the crew left the magic capital to find a relatively ordinary single house in northern Hebei when the scene was originally selected. There is a total of one floor. After a little retouching, it became the residence of this 'teacher'.
The interior layout has been arranged according to the set needs of the script under the arrangement of the set designer.
"James. Is it okay to set up this scene? Wang Shang asked the senior special effects artist he brought over from Hollywood, because this scene had to be special effects. The special effects artist knows best what kind of arrangement is suitable for special effects.
James looked around a few times and changed the camera position. There were also some light exposure issues, and then nodded in agreement.
"Xiaocha, put some makeup on the 'teacher', the makeup is off!"
"Okay." Meng Chacha was recruited into Tianwang Studio by Wang Shang after the last class reunion, and then directly transferred to the crew of "Death is Coming" and became an intern makeup artist.
"Ready...... 3、2、1,action!! ”
The teacher couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after watching the police outside the window take the sneaky Xie Tingfeng (the main character) away.
Just as she turned away from the window, there was an eerie gust of wind from the closed window.
She could clearly feel a gust of wind blowing in the room, and the pajamas she was wearing were swaying in the wind.
With a confused and frightened expression, the teacher turned his head and looked at the closed window, and began to gradually reveal strangeness, remembering the strange events of recent times, his face gradually showed a look of fear.
Wang Shang and the assistant director are talking about the filming process in a low voice: "I feel that it is best for her body not to turn around, but only turn her head, so that she must turn to the edge of her eye socket in order to look at the window, and revealing most of the whites of her eyes will make people look more terrifying." ”
"The lighting doesn't seem to be at the right angle, so it's better to take it from the side to show some shadows, which will look a little more gloomy."
Wang Shang and the assistant director were writing and drawing next to them, writing a lot of notes, and then began to stop: "NG! ”
After Wang Shang handed over what he had just written to the 'teacher', he told her to shoot it again.
The people who can be teachers in the directing department of the Modu Film and Television Academy are all experienced, and after trying a few times alone, they have mastered the advice given by the two directors.
Shooting resumes.
And just like that, the first one passed without a hitch.
This is followed by several thrilling scenes, such as knives, gas, a glass bursting and leaking wine on the ground, a bottle of wine being placed next to a gas stove, a computer monitor short-circuiting and exploding when it encounters water, a monitor exploding, and a splinter stabbing the neck......
This series of scenes that look very thrilling, under the step-by-step processing of the script, there is no sense of thrilling. In such a situation. The actor's expressions, demeanor and movements all need her to imagine and figure out by herself.
……
It was early August. During this time, Hanhai Film and Television Group's "Death Comes" began a vigorous promotion. From stills to trailers, to various big-scale scenes, the news is constant.
And the usual scandal propaganda in the entertainment industry has also been brought out, saying that the two protagonists fought with death during the filming of the crew, survived hardships together, and then fell in love......
As soon as these big stars had a scandal, the emotions of those fans immediately froze!!
"It's forbidden to fall in love!! He/she belongs to me!! ”
Then under some hype, more people began to pay attention to "Death Comes", and fans who didn't like thriller horror movies saw this scandal. I can't help but check it out.
After Wang Shang heard this scandal, he wanted to say: "I feel sad for the two stars, not only to sell their acting skills, but also to sell their hue." ”
Then the curious Wang Shang clicked into the trailer of "Death Descending" on the time mtime network, the trailer shows the two protagonists running for their lives in a complex alleyway with dark light, just in the 40th second, Wang Shang saw a miserable white ghost, very similar to the image in some ghost movies, and was chasing the two protagonists with death design.
After Wang Shang saw it. I almost didn't laugh!!
"This should be a good ghost movie! However, it is just a ghost movie, and there is a death design compared to the Grim Reaper of "The Grim Reaper...... It's just ruining the idea of the Grim Reaper!! Who are those people on the Internet? I was speechless to say that the trailer was good!! ”
Wang Shang wanted to say one more thing: "I feel sad for death!" ”
After Wang Shang laughed. continued to bury his head in the filming of "Death is Coming".
In the past nearly a month, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" can be said to have changed the previous high-profile publicity posture and began to become low-key.
The filming progress is in a hurry. Because according to the advice given by the special effects artist, the special effects processing and post-editing dubbing of the movie "The Grim Reaper" will take at least three months.
If it wants to be released in the Lunar New Year. It had to be filmed by the end of September and then sent to Hollywood for post-processing. Therefore, Wang Shang can only calm down and go all out to direct the movie at this time.
Without Wang Shang, a news-making machine, the entertainment industry began to calm down a lot. However, those movies that are gradually preparing to fight in the Lunar New Year file have also begun to gradually promote at this time to build momentum for new movies.
And "Death Comes", after "Death Comes" is not on the opposite side, it naturally occupies the attention of most horror movie lovers in this genre of horror films.
……
August 20th.
The press conference held by Emperor caused a great sensation in the music industry.
Countless music media outlets reported on the day.
"Xie Tingfeng has finally released a new album "Reborn" after being silent for more than half a year!!"
""Reborn, that is, rebirth, the Chinese name is "The Second World"!!"
"The Second Life" reminds people of the phoenix Nirvana, the phoenix was reborn in the flames, which is also Xie Tingfeng's hope that he can regain his life after his comeback!!"
"According to Xie Tingfeng's agent, in "The Second Life", there will be 3 new songs original by Wang Shang."
"Wang is still working hard for Xie Tingfeng!!"
The album distribution company, Emperor and Tianwang Studio, teamed up and began to build momentum for Xie Tingfeng, and various media reported on it, and the fans who originally belonged to Xie Tingfeng went crazy.
Xie Tingfeng said goodbye to the music scene and disappeared for more than half a year, which made countless honeys miss it. When he appeared for the first time at the launch conference of "The Grim Reaper" this year, the honeys were both excited and disappointed: he didn't release a new song when he just came back?
Now that a new album has finally been released, these honeys are naturally extremely excited!!
As for Wang Shang, although he rarely appears in the music world at this time, his original 3 songs have successfully topped the new song list of the music network, and his fame is comparable to that of a first-line singer, and he has accumulated at least one million fans in the past two years.
At this time, after 10 months of absence, Wang Shang finally released a new song, although he did not sing it himself, but it was enough to make these music fans happy...... (To be continued......)
