Chapter One Thousand and Forty: Creating a Miracle (Ask for Subscription!) ）

Xu Yinglong didn't care how sharp and intense the voice of the outside world was, but now he calmed down and filmed with peace of mind. For Xu Yinglong, filming is an experience, allowing him to experience the ups and downs of their lives by interpreting the characters in the script.

Of course, Xu Yinglong's most direct purpose of filming is to shoot good works, attract more fans, gather more popularity, and then get more power of faith.

In Xu Yinglong's view, the power of faith on the earth is equivalent to a bug in the game, a product of incomplete laws. If you change places, especially in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, where the laws are complete, every belief has to be tempered thousands of times, and no one can easily be worshiped and believed by others.

But the earth is different, after countless years of evolution here, the cultivation has basically declined, and people rarely believe in gods or devils, because this belongs to feudal superstition in the propaganda of the state apparatus and is not supported. In addition, people pay more and more attention to entertainment, so there is a special group of celebrities.

Originally, Xu Yinglong really didn't realize that being a star could actually earn the power of faith, but when he became a star, he found this "loophole", and now Xu Yinglong is like an enthusiast who has discovered a game loophole, and is frantically using this loophole to improve his level and equipment, and accumulate strength for future monster fights and upgrades.

Since this is the case, Xu Yinglong hopes that any of his works will be kept improving, and it doesn't matter how much money is spent. Anyway, his purpose is not to make money, but to earn word of mouth and faith.

Filming is not difficult for Xu Yinglong. It's almost his true colors, although his book is not his own thing. But this person Xu Yinglong also knows, almost every movement and expression is so natural. Grasp the pride.

Originally, Xu Shi'an and Zhang Qiang were worried about Xu Yinglong's acting skills, after all, he was not an artist who was born in a professional class or a group performance, but they were stunned after seeing Xu Yinglong's official performance. From an artistic point of view, no one is more natural than Xu Yinglong, who seems to be the person in the script. When you should be arrogant, you will never look up when you should be a grandson, but no matter how difficult and tortuous things you have experienced, you still don't forget your original intention.

What really surprised Xu Shi'an and the others was the fight scene between Xu Yinglong and Ziyi, and he had already designed a routine for them. The martial arts instructor also explained it to them, but they refused.

At that time, Xu Yinglong's original words were: "I am a martial artist myself, and my skills are not shallow, Ziyi is my apprentice, and I have also studied martial arts for a period of time, and we have a very tacit understanding in the filming scenes, and there is no need to set routines in advance." ”

Xu Shi'an was angry when he heard this, Xu Yinglong's words would be a big mistake if they were used in movies, not all martial arts students can shoot martial arts scenes well. Filming is acting. It's for others to see, and martial arts are not for performance, it's for attack or self-defense, so many times the two are not unified.

If all martial arts stars think the same as Xu Yinglong. The photographed stuff is definitely not very ornamental. What's more, how to shoot is his director's business, and the actor only needs to perform according to the director's arrangement.

But when he watched Xu Yinglong and Ziyi's real-time performances, he was stunned, that kind of performance with a big opening and closing is simply art. It's not the same as a pre-made routine. That kind of performance looks quite stiff and has a strong sense of disobedience. But this is not the case between the two. Everything is so natural, and some of the action is as exaggerated as special effects.

This can make Xu Shi'an happy. Immediately agreed to let them play on their own.

As time went on, Xu Shi'an became more and more satisfied with Xu Yinglong and Ziyi, and in Xu Shi'an's words, this is the most talented actor he has ever seen.

Because the two of them have a more accurate grasp of the characters, and the performances are also in place, the whole shooting process is very smooth, and the progress is surprisingly fast, almost 90% of the shots are all over again, even if they are re-shot, it is because of others, and it has nothing to do with these two leading actors.

Xu Yinglong has 578 scenes to shoot in the whole movie, and according to the normal schedule, a maximum of 5 to 10 scenes a day, and nearly 600 scenes will take two and a half months, or even three months, according to conservative estimates. However, what Xu Shi'an didn't expect was that now only 5 days have passed, and nearly 200 scenes have been filmed, with an average of 40 scenes per day, which is 4 to 8 times the usual.

In addition to the need for traffic, Ziyi's progress is also unexpectedly amazing, although it is not as scary as Xu Yinglong, but it has also completed 180 games in 5 days.

At this time, Xu Shi'an was not only happy, but turned into ecstasy. The script is good, the production cost is high, and the actors are also powerful, as long as the special effects in the later stage are done well, the result will definitely not be bad. Now he is also faintly looking forward to the box office expectation that Xu Yinglong said before, 3 billion plus the box office champion of Chinese films over the years.

To be honest, when Xu Yinglong said this box office expectation, Xu Shi'an didn't believe it in his heart, in his opinion, 2 billion was already very amazing, and he didn't mean to hype when he said this.

As a famous director, he is well aware of what hype means for a film. Although the term hype is dejorative, it can be summarized as the media reporting on someone or something by fabrication, exaggeration, speculation, and other abnormal reporting methods. The purpose of hype is to create a gimmick that will attract the attention of readers and ultimately increase the circulation of the newspaper or the click-through rate of the website. The trick of hype is to make full use of people's voyeuristic desires and desires to expose the yin, give full play to the author's creative power and imagination, and ignore the objective truth of the news in the back of his mind.

But there's no denying that hype, when done right, can be beneficial. As a big-name director, Xu Shi'an has not been in the entertainment industry for a day or two, and he has seen a lot of hype events, and in his opinion, hype is essentially a unique marketing method. Specifically, it is to use the Internet as a communication medium to comment on a person, company, or institution in two aspects through network promoters or behind-the-scenes people, one is a positive effect, and the other is a negative effect.

Such an obvious contrast will naturally attract the attention of others, and then use this way to attract the attention and discussion of netizens to increase popularity.

In the eyes of many people, the current era is an economic era, but in the eyes of the media is not very clear and detailed, to be precise, this is an era of attention economy, for those unknown brands or figures, if you want to become famous quickly, you must use social hot events, the formation of people and the media pay attention to the "social topic". As long as we grasp the star effect of current affairs, news events and people that have attracted wide attention from the society in a timely manner, and combine the ultimate purpose of the company and product in communication, we can plan creative activities and events.

So Xu Shi'an does not reject hype, so when the media asked him, he casually said a figure of 2 billion, although he hoped that the box office of this movie could reach this value, but in the end, whether it could reach his bottom and confidence was a kind of hype in itself.

Because of this, Xu Yinglong said at that time that he was looking forward to the box office of "Extraordinary Dust" reaching 3 billion Chinese coins, and also hoped that this film could win the box office championship of Chinese films in one fell swoop. Even at that time, he was still laughing at Xu Yinglong in his heart, this big boss Xu spared no effort for his company, and dared to say anything.

But with the filming during this time, especially the powerful performances of the two leading actors, Xu Shi'an really feels that if this movie is filmed like this, it may really be able to create a miracle of Chinese films. (To be continued.) )
