Chapter 31: Road Closure

The last time he watched the sample film, Shen Chong consciously remembered those scenes that he thought were good, so he cut the trailer quickly, and after spending a day in the editing studio of Golden Harvest Studio, he cut out three versions, each of which was very short, only fifteen seconds.

In the era of the Internet, because of the abundant broadcast channels, when a movie is being marketed, different types of trailers can be produced at different times, such as the teaser of the early stage of filming, the official trailer before the release, the drama trailer and the extended trailer for the Internet, etc.

However, in 19Ru, the main broadcast channel for trailers was only TV stations, and when they were broadcast on TV stations, every second was money, and the plot version or extended version of the trailer with a length of one or two minutes was too cost-effective to make zuò.

Now that "Die Hard" has only been on for three weeks, many wonderful scenes have not yet been filmed, and the official trailer is still too early, and a 15-second teaser is enough.

"Die Hard" is an adrenaline-stimulating popcorn movie, not a suspense-based horror film like "Alien", so the main content of the teaser is to show the exciting scenes in the film, rather than playing tricks and creating suspense, so you just need to follow the steps, shine a few leading actors, say a few lines, and intersperse a few wonderful scenes, and it is basically completed.

After cutting, dubbing and soundtrack must be added, and then sound effects are added to each shot conversion, Golden Harvest has a complete dubbing room, it is not troublesome to do this, no one will spend a lot of money to make a soundtrack for a short trailer of more than ten seconds, so according to convention, the soundtrack of the trailer is basically a selection of a piece from the copyright-free classical symphony.

After completing this qiē, it only took Shen Chong three days.

But the three trailers he cut were just pure movie trailers and had nothing to do with Ikmau at all.

15 seconds is too short, and then stuffing ads into it, it's easy to dominate, and the trailer for the advertising version that Sony needs is shot separately - the relationship between this version of the trailer "Die Hard" is like the relationship between fan fiction and the original novel.

Saturday, 19Ru, 4 p.m.

Hong Kong, Central, Shen Chong and a few people, standing on the roof of a building opposite the Connaught Building, looking down on the street below, on the busy Connaught Road on weekdays, there is not a single car passing by, only a group of employees wearing the work clothes of the "Die Hard" crew, running around, at both ends of the street in the distance, there is a long yellow cordon, next to each of them five or six police cars and a dozen policemen.

"Those people, are they real policemen?"

"Yes." Shen Chong said while observing: "This is a busy city, there are many people and cars, and the police are needed to maintain order and prevent accidents." ”

"Brother Chong." A young man in a dark blue tunic asked in Mandarin with a Beijing accent: "Can you mobilize the Hong Kong police?" ”

"How can I do that?" Shen Chong smiled and said: "To film this scene, I will report and apply twenty days in advance, and then the government will appoint more than 30 policemen here, and I will pay for their salaries and subsidies today." ”

"The police came to film for a little money, and they didn't do their job" Another man in his thirties shook his head again and again, and said: "I heard that this is a landmark building in Hong Kong, and I actually let you blow it up casually, although it is just a movie, but foreign audiences have seen it and lost face in Hong Kong." ”

"Doesn't the mainland often use the military to film? It's nothing to talk about not doing business. Shen Chong clasped his hands to his chest and said: "No matter how you toss in the movie, in reality, this building is intact, what is the face?" Besides, after watching the movie, foreign audiences will remember the building and the surrounding scenery, and when they want to travel, they will have one more reason to come to Hong Kong, and every more tourist in Hong Kong will increase thousands of consumption, which will stimulate employment and increase income, which is a good thing, why not? ”

The man's expression was excited, and he was about to retort when he opened his mouth, but the man in the tunic pulled him and changed the topic and asked, "Brother Chong, when is the helicopter coming?" ”

"Ten minutes to go." Shen Chong looked at his watch, and then said, "You guys look first, I still have some things to do, and I want to go down." ”

"Brother Chong, you're busy, don't worry about us."

Shen Chong nodded goodbye to everyone, and then beckoned a tall thin man with glasses and said, "Let's go down." ”

This person is Zhong Zhiwen, the photographer of "Crazy Robbery", and Shen Chong asked him to come over temporarily to help shoot Sony's commercials.

Zhong Zhiwen followed behind Shen Chong, walked into the stairs, and asked as he went downstairs, "Mr. Shen, what are the origins of these people?" ”

"In this world, people are born unequal." Shen Chong replied angrily: "Some people are born with a lot of wealth, known as the rich second generation, and some people are born with great power, known as the second generation of officials, and those people are the second generation of officials, commonly known as princelings." ”

"From Beijing?"

"Hmm." Shen Chong walked unhurriedly and said: "Don't look at them as young and old-fashioned, in fact, in terms of real forces, the so-called four major families in Hong Kong are not worth mentioning in front of them." ”

"It's not that powerful." Zhong Zhiwen, as a native of Hong Kong, is quite skeptical about this, he said: "The four major families combined, with assets of at least hundreds of billions, are more than the total economic output of some provinces in the mainland. ”

"So what, most of their hundreds of billions of miles are real estate, and the most important thing in the mainland is land." Shen Chong walked out of the building, looked back, and said: "The ancestors and fathers of these people are all high-ranking officials at the provincial level, and after ten years, maybe some of them will become feudal officials, and some will be in charge of tens of billions of assets, in short, they should not be underestimated." Forget it, don't mention these, let's go see if Yamaguchi Baihui has finished filming.

Central is a prosperous place in Hong Kong, and the government only approved one afternoon for filming, which is short, the scene is large, and there are many shots, so it can only be successful once, and there is basically no chance of NG starting over.

In order to create a scene, the crew also specially rented two helicopters for sightseeing, repainted them as police planes, and circled near Connaught Building, taking aerial photography by the way.

Such a big battle attracted almost all the media and thousands of onlookers in Hong Kong, but fortunately, the team hired by Shen Chong from Hollywood was experienced, the coordination work was in place, and the many police officers were able to maintain the normal course of filming.

"Director Wu, what's the progress?"

"It's too messy, it's a little slow, but it can still be controlled, and it can be finished before dark." Wu Yusen's expression was nervous, his forehead was sweaty, and he hurriedly explained a few words to the assistant director standing aside, and said, "Mr. Shen, is there something?" ”

"Is Momoe Yamaguchi's shot finished?"

"It's over, it's just done." Wu Yusen turned his head and asked the assistant, "Where is she?" ”

"Rest in the trailer over there."

"Then I won't disturb Director Wu's work." Shen Chong waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the trailer.

He wanted to take advantage of the road closure to ask Yamaguchi Momoe to shoot a set of shots wearing aIkmau, listening to music, and riding a bicycle to work as a creative idea for the commercial.
