In order for the film to achieve higher box office results when it is released, there must be many means of publicity. For example, in the period between the completion of the film and the time before its release, the lead actors will appear at various events, or specifically mention topics related to the film in interviews.

However, it is important to note that the publicity work does not start just after the filming of the film has been completed. In the process of filming, even before the official start of filming, the publicity work has actually begun.

For example, from time to time to announce a little shooting footage, or let the actors take some selfies in the shooting location and upload them to the Internet, or simply select some of the shots that have been filmed and edit them into trailers, which are all common publicity techniques.

In short, in order to achieve a good publicity effect, the first thing to do is to arouse the curiosity of the audience and make them pay more attention to the movie. Therefore, in the early publicity, no matter what method is used, the concept of 'spoiler' must be inseparable.

The so-called spoilers here do not mean that the audience should be told the entire content of the movie in advance, but that some inside information will be released at certain specific times.

If there are too many announcements, it is equivalent to putting the feast directly on the table, and after the audience has eaten enough, they may no longer be interested in the finished product. If there is too little announcement, perhaps the audience will feel that there is no sweetness to taste, and they will not be curious and concerned about the movie, and from the perspective of publicity, it will undoubtedly be a failure.

It is necessary to arouse the curiosity of the audience, but not to let them know too much. To do that. 'Degree' is very important.

Because of Jackie Chan's roll call, Song Qian and Jessica participated in the filming of the movie, however. Both of them only played cameo roles in the movie. There are only one or two lines, only one or two shots, and there is no direct connection to the roles played by the leading actors in the movie, and in terms of importance alone, the roles of the two can only be regarded as insignificant.

It is precisely because the roles they play and the shots they appear in are not important, even if they are announced. It will not let the audience guess the main content along the way, so that it will not be 'excessive'. Because of this. Jackie Chan will be very generous and agree to the follow-up requests made by the two programs.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, because of the idol status of the two.

Since it is an artist with a name and a surname. That was after participating in the filming of the movie. Anyway, you should put your name in the credits, right? However, the roles played by the two are authentic tricks, and according to convention, their names cannot be connected after supporting actors such as Li Jingyuan, but must be put together with other extras who play the role of tricks. Or simply put it on the list of special actors or friendship stars. In any case, it will only appear in a very low position anyway. (It's okay to be a friendly actor, but the special actor is completely different.) Although the name is very good, the special actor is actually a kind of extra. In the eyes of ordinary audiences, it is also the feeling of passer-by. ）

Song Qian and Jessica don't have any opinions on their own. But. Just because they know the rules doesn't mean their fans know the rules. There are always some NC fans who will be very careful about unnecessary details, and when they see that the names of the two are put behind and appear, they will definitely come up with things like, 'This is insulting our idol'.

More is better than less, in order not to let these NC fans have an excuse to come, they simply took out the filming process of the two directly and gave them 'focused' treatment from another angle. Anyway, the IQ of NC fans is not high, and it is still easy to fool around.

Moreover, in addition to avoiding the entanglement of NC fans, the idol status of the two can also attract their regular fans to follow the movie. The front is 'not reduced', and the back is 'plus', and with the cooperation of the two, the news of Song Qian and Jessica's participation in the performance will be announced, which can bring certain benefits to the promotion of the film.

Well, the conclusion is obvious, since there are benefits, then why not do it?

Gossip aside, anyway, the most embarrassing result is that Jackie Chan named the two to participate in the performance, and also agreed to the follow-up of the two program groups.

Helicopters only have a little time to use, so you have to hurry. Jackie Chan gave a word, and the employees of the crew immediately took action. First, a camera was set up on the medium-sized helicopter as the main shot for a while, and then Jessica and another extra, who played the videographer, were placed on another small helicopter, and when filming officially began, Jessica would perform in mid-air in this helicopter.

The process of 'talking about the drama' ended quickly, and filming will officially start soon. Until then, though, there are some details that need to be done.

Jessica is now wearing a small dress, which is good-looking, but she doesn't feel like a working woman at all, and she is even closer to being a strong woman who goes deep into the field to follow first-hand news. Moreover, you must know that Lu Dao will be shooting in a helicopter for a while, and the strong winds caused by the propellers cannot be ignored, and if Jessica wears her current clothes on the plane, it is almost inevitable that her skirt will be blown up by the wind during the filming process. Jessica herself will not be willing, Li Jingyuan, who is a boyfriend, will not be willing, even if it is Jackie Chan, he will not be willing for the style of the movie. Therefore, it is necessary for Jessica to change into a costume that matches the character's personality and identity.

S.m.'s stylist assistant wasn't there, but there was a costume styling supervisor on the set, so it was easy to find the right outfit for Jessica. It took more than ten minutes to change clothes, and then adjust the makeup again, and a completely different Jessica stood in front of everyone.

"Wow~~, Sika, you're so handsome~!" To make the image look a little sharper, Jessica's long shawl hair was tied into a ponytail. On her body, she is still wearing a black women's suit, especially the lower half of her body is not a tube skirt but pants. After seeing Jessica dressed like this. Taeyeon couldn't help but shout with envy.

"That's it, announcer~!" Several other girls also got excited along with Taeyeon. Jessica's handsome image is one reason, and her role as an announcer in this club is another.

For Korean girls, the three professions of doctors, teachers, and announcers have been their dreams since childhood. Although Taeyeon and the others are now artists, when they were young, they also fantasized about being an announcer in the future, now. After seeing Jessica's outfit, it brought back memories of their childhood, and it was normal for them to get excited.

"Are you ready?" See Jessica ready. As the director, Jackie Chan came over to ask, and after Jessica nodded, he pulled Jessica to the side of the helicopter and explained to her the details of the performance later.

"Wait a minute. You're going to have to step one leg out of the cabin. Step on this landing gear and make a gesture to look down. After that, turn your head again and say the lines to the camera...... While comparing the paintings, he explained to Jessica that in just a short time, Jackie Chan designed a set of detailed performance moves for Jessica.

"Huh? Isn't the cabin door closed? Am I going to stick one leg out? "I was very excited when I changed clothes, but at this time I heard the actions described by Jackie Chan. Jessica was completely panicked.

Being able to participate in Jackie Chan's movies is indeed something to be excited about, but no matter how exciting it is. Nature doesn't change because of excitement. Although Jessica is an artist, she is not a 'beating girl' from martial arts after all, and when dealing with dangerous actions, her courage is no different from that of ordinary girls.

Jessica's 'the cabin door wasn't closed' alone scared Jessica, not to mention the 'step out of the cabin' action that Jackie Chan designed for her. With a little fantasizing, Jessica imagined herself stepping into the air and falling off the plane. Unable to control it at all, Jessica's face immediately showed a look of worry and fear.

"Questions?" Hearing Jessica's words, Jackie Chan subconsciously frowned and asked.

It's not that Jackie Chan is too harsh, but because he usually does it. In the past, when there was a need for actors, Jackie Chan always selected people from his own family class, and those people had already adapted to the scenes of various action scenes, and what Jessica had to do now was nothing to them at all. Jackie Chan also didn't pay attention, and put the way he treated those people in the family class on Jessica's body.

"Uncle Long, she's not one of those people under you." When Jackie Chan was 'talking' to Jessica, Li Jingyuan was always listening to it, and he couldn't help but remind Jackie Chan.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I forgot." was reminded by Li Jingyuan, and Jackie Chan finally reacted. Smiled apologetically at Jessica, he changed to a compromise plan: "Okay, it's still the same, but I'll have someone tie you a safety rope when it's time to shoot later, so you don't have to worry about falling off." ”

Tie the safety rope as a means that is often used in real life. For example, when forest firefighters use helicopters to rescue tourists lost in the mountains, such as when they drop relief materials to disaster areas, or when soldiers in the army take helicopters to carry out tasks. Whenever you have to lean out of the cabin, you must first attach a safety rope to your body before doing other actions.

However, in the movie, there are not many scenes of hanging safety ropes. First, because most of the helicopter scenes in the movie are more urgent, and the characters played by the actors do not have the leisure time to get safety equipment, and secondly, because the safety rope and other equipment will look too cumbersome after wearing it, and the shot effect is always not ideal.

Try it first, if it doesn't work and then change to another method, if you really can't do it, then you can only change someone. Although he proposed to tie a safety rope, other thoughts had already popped up in Jackie Chan's mind at this time. It's really going to be a situation where you have to make a substitution. Of course, there will be some sorry for Li Jingyuan, the person who provided the plane, but there is no way to do it, after all, it is still important to focus on movies.

I heard Jackie Chan say that he would tie the safety rope. Jessica's mind was finally a little more secure. However, it is impossible to say that you can be completely relieved immediately.

“Action~！” Jessica was still a little scared and worried, but Jackie Chan had already shouted the password, and in desperation, she could only start the performance.

I've thought about what to do more than once in my mind, but it's time to do it. Jessica hesitated. After Jackie Chan shouted the password, it took five or six seconds for her to slowly poke one leg out of the cabin.

"Card~!" Because of the noise of the helicopter propellers. The ordinary guide tube doesn't work anymore, but it doesn't matter, there is a walkie-talkie on the plane, after Jackie Chan shouted this 'card'. Jessica's side will also receive the signal.

“……。 The action is crisp, and one more ~ . After all, it was the first attempt, and it was reasonable that the performance was almost there, and after shouting a timeout, Jackie Chan was not angry, but just explained the key points, and then ended the call.

"Card~! Don't forget to take a look at the snarling. ”

"Card~!! The expression is more natural, open your eyes~! ”

"Card~! Barycenter. Pay attention to the center of gravity, the movements are too unnatural. ”

It's not something that can change once or twice. In the following shoot, Jessica made a lot of small mistakes. Although the mistake was small, it was obvious, and Jackie Chan couldn't let her go even if he wanted to.

ended the call again, Jackie Chan couldn't help but get on the plane together, and Li Jingyuan, who was sitting next to him and watching Jessica's performance process together, smiled bitterly: "O, I'm starting to doubt it now, is it really appropriate to let her go." ”

It's not that Jackie Chan is too picky, but Jessica's performance just now is too unreliable, so he has to doubt his decision. Every time the shouting started, Jessica should have acted immediately. However, because of the fear in her heart, every time she moved, it would always drag on for a few seconds before it started. Well, it doesn't matter if you start late, just cut out the first few seconds, but the point is, Jessica's whole set of movements is a little too slow.

The small movement of stretching and retracting his leg went back and forth several times before he poked his leg out of the cabin. Jessica herself may not have felt that there was anything wrong, but in the camera, it felt too hesitant. Moreover, after sticking her leg out, Jessica did not step on the landing gear, and her weight still fell on her ass. Her backward posture doesn't seem to have the slightest feeling of 'a female reporter who cares about her own safety for the sake of journalism', but rather like a little girl who has a basin of overheated foot wash in front of her and is hesitating whether to put her feet in.

Not only was Jackie Chan dissatisfied with Jessica's performance, but Li Jingyuan also saw Jessica's performance through the camera, and he was also anxious about her.

While in a hurry, Li Jingyuan also used his brains to think about how to help Jessica complete the shooting smoothly. When Jessica kept NG seven or eight times, and when Jackie Chan said that sentence to him, Li Jingyuan happened to think of a plan.

"Uncle Long, I have a suggestion. Why don't we fly so high, right? It's not a helicopter, but it's hovering. How about hovering the plane at a height of about three meters, then placing the camera on the ground and shooting at an elevation angle from the bottom up? ”

"If you shoot like that, just put a mat on the floor and I'll pick it up below, and Jessica won't be scared anymore, so that the safety rope on her body can be removed, and the picture should look cleaner, right? Moreover, shooting from the bottom up, you can also shoot her eyes and expressions when she looks at the bottom, does it feel more realistic? ”

Some people may ask, let the plane hover at a height of three meters, then when you shoot the plane, won't the surrounding scenery also be filmed in the camera? Isn't that just a goof? Doesn't it matter?

Don't worry, it's already said that it's shot from the bottom up, and in the elevation shot, there is only the sky except for the plane, and even if the audience sees this shot, they won't find flaws. Besides, in the movie, the plane appears near the crater, and if you shoot from the top down, the background should be the crater or rainforest environment. And now, the place where the crew is located is in the south of France, it is impossible to shoot that kind of background. Anyway, it's all about post-processing to replace the background, so what's the importance of what the background is when shooting now?

After listening to Li Jingyuan's proposal and thinking about it in his head, Jackie Chan also felt that his opinion seemed to be quite good. Moreover, now Jessica's performance is obviously unqualified, 'if it doesn't work, it will change', and it wouldn't be a good thing to try it in another way.

"Okay, then let's land first and try your way." (To be continued......)
