Chapter 354: The Movie Comes Out
[I heard that some people think that the two-in-one of chapter 352 is too short, so this chapter will be used as compensation, 6666 words two-in-one chapter, and I still owe 11 more! ] 】
"Leader! The copy of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has finally been sent! In the office of the manager of the operations department of Wanda Cinema Group, a subordinate reported to the manager.
"Finally sent it! I'm almost going to unblock them! Seeing the copy that was finally sent, the manager shook his head and said with a sneer.
"Manager, do you want to take a look at the finished film first, Shenmu Entertainment Group sent us a message, saying that it hopes to increase the schedule of its own movies, this is a game fantasy epic blockbuster that will never disappoint!" The subordinate laughed.
"Hmph, the current Chinese people are really getting more and more shameless!" The manager snorted coldly, and said extremely dissatisfied, "The more shameless you are, the more you like to brag, you can brag about anything, and you can also play fantasy epic blockbusters, I'm afraid it's not a team that came to do special effects after studying animation for three years!" ”
"Come on! I didn't make a copy until the day before it was released, and you don't need to watch this movie to know how shoddy it is. I'm too lazy to waste time on this garbage movie, if it weren't for the above remark, saying that the energy behind this movie is amazing, I must keep at least 5% of the film schedule, I don't even want to give it 0.5% of the film schedule! ”
"In this way, you go and arrange it, try to schedule the time slot of this movie before 4 pm and after 10 pm, anyway, schedule the most rubbish time slots for this movie, and then withdraw the line to below 0.5% for a week after it is released, so that the guys behind it won't say much!" The manager commanded.
"Yes! Leadership! The subordinate nodded, this is not the first time such a thing has been done, although the movie does have amazing energy behind it, but after all, the theater chain is a product of chasing the market, and making money is the last word!
And such a plot happens in almost all theaters, except for the theaters under China Film, after all, the relationship between China Film and Liu Xue is deeper, and at the same time, it also wants to give Liu Lao a face, so not only the number of films has reached 7%, but also some prime time schedules, but that's all, according to the secret instructions of China Film's managers, such a film schedule can be maintained for the first three days, and all the films will be scheduled to drop below 1% in the next week.
In this way, our "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" series of movies ushered in the most tragic start in life.

"Yanzheng, how is the promotion of our movie?" After receiving the news that Wang Yanzheng had everything done, Mu Tian asked Wang Yanzheng while breathing a sigh of relief.
"It's not optimistic!" Wang Yanzheng smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Because of the lack of materials, there is no publicity on the Internet, and the only propaganda is also abuse of us...... Even if there are many people who scold, it turns out that the Weibo accounts that scolded us together are less than 500, which is not a wave at all! ”
"But it doesn't matter, I believe in the quality of our movies, so as long as there is enough time to accumulate word of mouth for our films, then we are still confident that the box office will break 100 million!"
"Only the box office broke 100 million? How is this enough? Mu Tian shook his head dissatisfiedly, "I hope that the box office of the first part of our movie will reach at least 1 billion!" ”
"1 billion!" Even through the computer screen, Mu Tian can see the incredibleness in Wang Yanzheng's words.
"It's impossible!" Wang Yanzheng quickly made a judgment, "Only 5% of our movies have a starting schedule, and "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" started with 10% of the scheduled films, and this movie was screened for a month, and tens of millions of dollars were spent on tap water marketing, so that it had a box office of 956 million, but even then it did not break through 1 billion, Mu Tian, your goal is too high and impossible to achieve!" ”
"Nope! The quality of our movies is here, it's still possible! Mu Tian said firmly, "In this way, there is still one day left, let's start to do propaganda now, you listen to me, you arrange it like this......" Mu Tian began to type quickly, and one after another marketing strategies were knocked out with Mu Tian's fingers.
At 12 noon on June 17th, there are still six hours left before the first screening of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen Part 1".
On this day, the "Biography of the Great Sword Saint Galen" on all platforms was suddenly updated with ten chapters in one go, with a total of 30,000 words.
This sudden surprise made all the readers of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" cry out excitedly, and they read all ten chapters as quickly as possible.
At this time, the chapter is updated to a big climax of the book, and the plot comes to an abrupt end when Galen will fight the abyss-level boss for the survival of the entire city.
Seeing that the plot is stuck here, readers feel uncomfortable while scolding Canglan Short for being a broken chapter king, but there is nothing they can do.
It was also at this time that another chapter was suddenly updated, but this chapter was not updated with content, but with a chapter of testimonials.

"The First Part of the Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen Starts Screening Today"
Dear readers, the first live-action movie of the Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen will be screened at 6 pm today, and 100 cinemas in 32 cities across the country will start screening at the same time. The author solemnly promises here that as long as the total attendance rate of the screening exceeds 80%, ten chapters will be updated again at 0:00 tomorrow morning.
All the cities and cinemas are as follows: ......
】
"What! The live-action movie of the Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen is actually going to be released today! This was the first reaction of all readers who read the testimonials in this chapter...... These readers don't even know that there is a live-action movie in "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", which shows how bad the promotion of this movie is.
“MD! This author is too rubbish, he didn't care about anything for the sake of money, and made a garbage movie to ask us to pay! Some readers immediately scolded in this chapter that in the subconscious of many people, live-action movies are synonymous with garbage.
And it seems to be the case, 90% of the world's live-action movies are garbage.
"Forget it! Isn't it just a movie ticket, Lao Tzu can't get ten extra changes for a silver pen, just one movie ticket can be exchanged, it's really cost-effective! Of course, there are also readers who said that they will definitely go to see the screening.
Although the number of such readers is not large, after three months of fermentation at this time, "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has more than 1 million real readers on various platforms, even if only 1% of readers are willing to buy a movie ticket, it is enough for the attendance rate of 100 movie theaters to exceed 80%.
However, this incident only caused a certain amount of turmoil in the readership circle of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", and most moviegoers still didn't know about it, and at this time, on station B, a promotional video suddenly appeared.
"China's No. 1 Special Effects Fantasy Game Epic Blockbuster Screened Today"
This video is directly airborne in the highest position of the advertising recommendation position of station B, and at the same time, a bold banner is also given, I am afraid that readers of station B will not see this advertisement.
"Damn! Today's manufacturers are becoming more and more shameless, and this kind of shameless advertising words can also be written cheekily! Seeing this advertisement, a large number of viewers at station B scolded.
However, the most degrading thing for human beings is to scold them and click on the video to watch it.
So almost at the same time, more than 5,000 viewers clicked on the video, and at the same time moved their fingers, preparing to watch the video while sending a barrage spray.
"Wait...... This special effect seems to have a lot of likes! ”
"Wow! Is this really a special effect? It looks exactly like the real thing! ”
"Beautiful...... Gone...... Why is it suddenly gone? ”
This trailer is only 15 seconds long, so when the whole trailer is played, these viewers don't even send out a single barrage, and the whole video is over.
"No! I'm going to watch it again! Anyway, let me find the spray spot! One viewer jumped to his feet and shouted, then clicked on the video a second time...... Finally, after watching it five times, a barrage reluctantly refreshed out, "Damn!" Lao Tzu couldn't find the spray point, and the people behind him continued, I went to see the screening! ”
"I can't find ...... Leave...... Went to the cinema! ”
"The one who went to the cinema brought me one, do you have a team in the magic capital? Which cinema has a screening of this movie! ”
As a result, the barrage that was originally going to be sprayed with a lot of sprays turned into a barrage like this to meet to see the screening. Of course, there are still a lot of barrages that have found spray points, and they spray like this.
"Garbage movie, these 15 seconds are estimated to be the essence of the special effects of the whole movie, hundreds of millions of funds are estimated to be used here, except for these 15 seconds of special effects, they are all scum, domestic routines are like this, fools will be fooled!"
Not to mention, such a barrage also attracted a lot of applause, and many barrages sprayed up, and then some viewers began to maintain the movie, and finally the whole barrage became a pot of porridge.
However, this did not cause a large-scale sensation at station B, because the total number of viewers who watched this trailer at this time was only a few thousand.
What really detonated the audience was a video uploaded by a well-known up master "Generate Power with Love".
"This is advertising! Learn about the most awesome game fantasy blockbuster in the future! 》
It's a normal thing for the up master to "generate electricity with love" and like to advertise, but it's the first time to put the ad directly in the title bar, and the name of the ad is so domineering, which makes many fans of the UP master take the initiative to click on this video.
"Dear Sao Nian, you read it right, this article is all advertisements, and I received 100,000 yuan from the other company's advertisement. But it's not an advertisement, because after I watched the whole 120-minute film in advance, I had to come up with a title like this, which is really the most awesome game fantasy blockbuster I've ever seen......"
This video is only about 30 seconds in total, and it can be seen that it was cut in a hurry, and the main content is some movie pictures, and the audience is scolding "generating electricity with love" shamelessly, while continuing to watch it.
But after they watched it for 15 seconds, all the scolding disappeared, and they watched this short video in disbelief, just like the previous viewers who saw the trailer, and they all couldn't wait to watch this video a second time.
And the video posted by this well-known UP is superimposed on the number of views at a very high speed, which is a few points stronger than the advertisement in the recommended position, reaching 100,000 clicks in 20 minutes, and the entire station b has finally made waves because of this advertisement.

"Will anyone really come to see the screening of this movie?" When it was close to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, several movie theater staff stood bored at the door of the theater and whispered.
"There must be some people! After all, it's a screening! An employee hesitated.
"Humph! This kind of movie that you know is garbage when you look at the title, even if it is screened, not many people will come, and this movie does not have any star lineup, I looked at the cast list of this movie, it is full of actors who are not famous, I have never heard of it, and the whole movie does not even have a road show, I guess the people who will come to see the screening are not even satisfied with the row of the theater!
According to the rules of the theater, those audience members can only be admitted five minutes before the film opens, so when these staff members looked at the empty theater and chatted very happily, suddenly a black and overwhelming flow of people poured in.
"Mom! So many people! The employee who had just said that he couldn't even sit in a row suddenly turned black. Because in five minutes, hundreds of people poured into the theater, filling the entire theater to the brim, and there was not even a single empty seat.
"Where did these people come from?" A staff member whispered.
"I don't know, maybe the filmmaker bought it to fill the scene, I often encounter this kind of thing!" The black-faced employee said as he regained his normal face as he thought of a brilliant reason.
That's right, this must be a trust hired by the filmmaker, and when the time comes, a video with a full screening will be released on the Internet, even if it is promoted, this is the favorite means of those shameless filmmakers!
"It's not! Most of them seem to be readers of the original book of this movie, and there are some viewers of station B! Another employee walked up with a stack of papers and said, as is customary, to do some questionnaires.
So when distributing the questionnaire, the employee curiously asked many viewers about their origins, and finally learned the truth.
"It turned out to be the original reader!" There was a sneer on the face of the black-faced employee, "Look, don't look at the smiles on these audiences' faces now, when the movie starts playing, they will all want NMB, these original fans are the most picky audiences in the world, as long as there is any trace of inconsistency with the original work, they will scold the sky." ”
"Look! This movie will definitely be scolded! ”
"Hmm!" Several other employees couldn't help but nodded, they are all old employees of the theater, and they have participated in many movie screenings, knowing what a double-edged sword the original fans are, even if it is an adapted movie made by Spielberg, I am afraid that they will be scolded by the fans of the original work, after all, it is impossible for a movie to restore the original plot 100%, and I heard that this original plot is still a fantasy masterpiece with a super large world view.
It's easy to write this kind of thing, but if you really want to express it in pictures, you can't do it without hundreds of millions of dollars!
The fact is just like what these employees discussed, these original fans are here to pick thorns, most of them didn't come willingly, but for the addition of ten chapters, in this mentality, doubling the pickiness has become a matter of course!
Soon, the movie begins.
When the picture of the desert wolves appeared, all the audience gasped, and one audience couldn't help but ask, "Could this be that so many wild wolves were filmed in the desert!" ”
Then in the next second, a black flame erupted from the mouth of a wild wolf, and immediately closed the audience's mouth, really, how could the wild wolf release flames, this must be a special effect, but how does this special effect look so real? It's so real that it's beyond imagination!
The plot of the movie does not drag on, and after showing the map of the wolves, our protagonist, a tall and beautiful woman with a big sword in her hand, appears!
"Galen! It's Galen! The audience immediately cheered!
"Oh my God! It's exactly like I imagined Galen! Where did the filmmaker find such an actor who looks like this! Another viewer exclaimed, it didn't seem like it was impossible, because when Mu Tian described Galen, he was completely described in the appearance of the ancient queen.
Next is a thrilling wolf battle, which can be described as a sword to blood, a knife to the flesh, the whole fighting process is a hardcore fight, and there is no thrilling action in the process of fighting, some are just the speed and sharpness of a sword to seal the throat.
The actress who plays Galen uses a heavy sword without a blade, without any flashiness, but it is extremely practical, but it gives a realistic combat technique that quickly attracts the attention of all audiences.
Especially when the wolf's sharp claws landed on Galen's arm, it tore open a strand of flesh, revealing the bright red flesh inside. There is also a shot of the black flame of the demon wolf slamming into Galen's body, creating a scorched black mark, all revealing unimaginable truths.
In the end, Galen was the superior in his skills, and all the wild wolves were killed by Galen, and the whole shot froze on Galen's body, showing the bloody wounds that healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Galen, who had finally regained his full blood, put his weapon into the scabbard with a dashing sword, and walked into an ancient village under the light of the setting sun.
"Perfect!" After watching the ten-minute fight, an audience member who opened his mouth wide throughout finally closed his mouth.
"Holy! It's definitely the best fight scene I've seen this year! This action director is really a ghost! ”
"And this girl who plays Galen is also very strong! Such an iron horse bridge has been done, it seems that he is a professional martial arts actor, and it is rare to look so beautiful, it's over...... I've been a fan of this girl, what's her name? Where is her Weibo? ”
The movie theater instantly resounded with such a discussion, without the slightest abuse, all of it was praise...... And the few employees who were also hiding to the side to watch did not complain at this time, because they were all immersed in the movie's rough-and-dark and low-level shots, but they were extremely tempting.
"Shenmu! It's a real Shushen wood! It turns out that Shu Shenmu is like this! ”
"Is that the baby fruit? It turns out that the baby fruit is so cute! ”
"Ouch, is this a wedding scene? It's so shameful to kiss pregnant or something! ”
"What's there to be ashamed of, until I was ten years old, I always thought that kissing my mouth would make me pregnant!"
The next soothing plot caused everyone to laugh, and then the camera followed Galen out of the novice village and came to the city, witnessing Galen kneeling in front of the professional divine tree and obtaining the professional fruit that symbolized the Xuantian Sword Sect.
"The Xuantian Sword Sect is the first in the world!" An audience member suddenly screamed, this is extremely inappropriate behavior in a movie theater that wants to be quiet, I thought it would cause a large number of other audiences to blame and dissatisfaction, but what I didn't expect was that with the roar of this audience, almost all the audience in the entire theater roared angrily, shouting "Xuantian Sword Sect is the first in the world!" ”
Later, with the development of the plot, more and more characters appeared, and the audience was immersed in this magical world of Shenmu. And with the appearance of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group and the thief Mei Nai as villains, the hearts of the entire theater audience were hanging.
The acting skills of this maid who plays Mina are excellent...... Yes, originally Mei Nai's role was Shen Moxiang's, but with the appearance of a maid actor, Shen Moxiang, who had embarrassing acting skills, was replaced and replaced with a maid with excellent acting skills.
Watching this Mina help Galen, growing up with Galen, killing the boss with Galen, and finally winning the event with gorgeous skills.
Under the beautiful moonlight, Galen and Mina, two equally beautiful women, gradually became entangled together, making some indescribable movements, which made the lily souls of all the audience members quickly burn.
This was originally a climactic clip, but the hearts of the audience were tugged together. Because according to the original book, this is the final climax of Mei Na, and in a few more chapters, Mei Nai will be sacrificed as the object of revenge of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group.
Although countless viewers hope that at this moment, they can also change the plot and let Mei Nai live, but Mei Nai still died after all, and died under the various cruel revenge criminal laws of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group, and they watched as seven or eight level 40 summoned beasts and swift dragons devoured Mei Nai alive.
And the director actually gave a very close close-up here, so that all the audience watched how Mei Nai was eaten.
"I'm vomiting!" At least 20 viewers couldn't stand the bloody scene and vomited directly...... But even so, none of the audience left, the anger in their hearts was already burning, and they couldn't wait to see the plot of the destruction of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group.
The director really did not disappoint, in the final climax, Galen single-handedly broke into the headquarters of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group, in a 20-minute fight scene, and with the blessing of various gorgeous skill effects, all the audience was completely immersed in this battle with one enemy and one hundred, and finally in the cheers of everyone, Galen stabbed the most hateful villain with a sword, the leader of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group, that is, the role played by the eldest grandson Wuxi, and then cut off the badge of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group!
The whole movie ends with a majestic but tragic music!
By the way, it is worth mentioning that the music of this movie is all original music from the Shenmu Continent...... Because "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" is a household name, a large number of musicians have created a lot of music based on this book, among which there are no less than ten kinds of music about the battle of the Moon Wolf Mercenary Group, Mu Tian selected the most well-known, the most widely circulated, and the most touching music to add it to become the background music of this movie.
"Mom! I don't want to read the ten chapters of the gagam...... I want to watch "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen Part II"! ”
"Mom, if I don't watch "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen Part II", I'm going to die!"
All the audience present let out such a wail, and more of the audience became extremely excited as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and at the moment of the end of the movie, all the audience realized that Huaxia finally has a movie that can be comparable to Hollywood action blockbusters in the real sense!
"This movie! Lao Tzu is going to blow up! "Not just in one cinema, but in a cinema with a hundred screenings, such voices are shouting in the hearts of every audience!
