Chapter 260: Encirclement and Suppression
Yingshuai accepted the task of the system, but did not forget to pretend to the little girl to show his erudition.
"I really know, isn't there a picture of Solomon's treasure written here?" he looked like a calm and breezy man.
"You're talking nonsense!" Natalie looked disdainful, "there are nine words written here. β
Suddenly, she pointed to the words on the picture with a look of disbelief and screamed, "Impossible! How can this be, it is really nine words." β
Ying Shuai looked at it, your sister, it must be a ghost caused by the system.
It turns out that the ghost-like text on the picture has become the Ming script.
It reads "King Solomon's Treasure Map", which is really nine big characters.
Natalie looked disgusted and threw the picture to Yingshuai.
"You must have done it, trying to trick me into going treasure hunting with you, right? As she spoke, she shook her head and looked at Yingshuai with a sneer.
Your sister, you're not half my age, and you call me naΓ―ve?
The two of them studied in the car for a long time, and the black light was not very real, and the two of them got nothing for a long time, so they had to put away the treasure map first, but since the system released the task, one thing is certain, the authenticity of this treasure map has been confirmed.
Yingshuai put this matter aside first, and because Natalie had been delayed for a few days, he had to rush back to Daming.
A Chinese Ghost Story has been scheduled to be released, but this time the handsome is not small, the influence of the two leading actors is not weak now, Zhang Guorong will not say it, even Wang Xiaoqian has become popular with her eagle shooting.
Therefore, the propaganda work does not need to be carried out by the director Yingshuai, who rolls up his sleeves and does it himself, but it is impossible for him not to appear in the entire publicity cycle.
Jian Ye is the nest of the handsome, and his popularity here is actually no less than Zhang Guorong's, so Jian Ye's roadshow is led by him and the supporting actress Yang Xiaomi, when he appears at the roadshow, the scene is almost comparable to the appearance of a superstar.
"May I ask Director Ying, you position A Chinese Ghost Story as an oriental magic genre, does this mean that this is a film with outstanding visual effects?" The reporter's microphone also surrounded Yingshuai.
Ying Shuai smiled politely: "Although this film has invested more in special effects than all my previous films, the core of a film is still an attractive story, which can be a blood-boiling story, a twisty and moving adventure, or a lingering love, such as this film."
My purpose in shooting this film is not to show off the special effects, nor do I want the audience to get jaw-dropping visual effects from the screen, but to get moved by the film.
Yes, this will be a poignant love story that touches people's hearts, and the special effects are just to better show this love. β
After Yingshuai finished the later stage, he was worried about the publicity of the work, and the special effects of A Chinese Ghost Story were too eye-catching, which was likely to obscure the light of the movie itself.
Although the audience is also shocked by the special effects of the film, the special effects are only slightly ahead of other films, and there are Hollywood special effects blockbusters like Star Wars pressing on them, so the audience will still be addicted to the film itself.
But now, with the blessing of the hero, the special effects are directly the original special effects team of Star Wars, and the special effects can be said to be a whole era ahead. A Chinese Ghost Story is different from sci-fi films like Star Wars, which are completely visually successful, and his essence is still a touching romance film, so the audience pays too much attention to the special effects, which is likely to have a detrimental impact on the box office of the film.
Of course, the hero has noticed this for a long time, and the propaganda has always avoided emphasizing special effects, but judging from the reaction of reporters, it seems that the effect is not obvious.
Sure enough, the reporter continued to ask: "Director Ying, you said that the investment in special effects of this film is far greater than in the past, so how much does the film cost?"
Ying Shuai pondered for a while, but still chose to tell the truth: "It should be more than 200 million." β
Since he wants to say nonsense, of course, he is not bragging, how can he dilute a part of the film in the preparation of industrial light and magic, plus various experimental shooting for special effects, the cost is also huge, although these experiments can also be used for the production of other films in the future, but at present, it is only serving the film A Chinese Ghost Story.
Therefore, the production cost of 200 million yuan mentioned by Yingshuai is actually only a lot more.
"200 million production costs?" the reporter gasped.
"Doesn't that mean that the box office has to exceed 500 million to pay off?" he asked.
Ying Shuai smiled: "That's true, but our film is released simultaneously around the world, and the goal of 500 million is too low." β
"Director Ying, what do you think is the box office target for this film?"
Yingshuai didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he smiled: "I think I have to challenge my own record, and this is the second time that I and Guorong have cooperated, even if I don't have confidence, I should have confidence in our fairy fruit." β
Zhang Guorong has had the nickname of Fairy Fruit since the gambling god became popular, but he stole the limelight from Fa Ge.
Sure enough, the reporters became enthusiastic and asked about the dynamics of the fairy fruit, this time he didn't come to Jianye to make a announcement, and everyone was very disappointed, so Yingshuai took the lead, and everyone's attention was attracted.
Yingshuai broke some of Zhang Guorong's "black material" when he was in the crew, fooling the reporter, and the roadshow at Jianye Station came to a successful end.
Zhang Guorong and Wang Xiaoqian also toured all the way, and walked more than 20 stations in a month, so they were tired and lay down, but it is finally over, and the film is about to be officially released.
"Is there a mistake?" Ying Shuai looked at the film schedule sent to him with some surprise.
He asked again, "Haven't you inquired about the other party's film schedule before?"
Li Xingyun's face was solemn and said: "Originally, there were no strong competitors in the release schedule of A Chinese Ghost Story, but when it was about to be released, a bunch of them suddenly appeared, and the opponent's films didn't seem to be weak. β
Yingshuai twitched his mouth, not to mention that he was not weak, Cheng Long's fast catching story three, also known as super catching fast, the fast catching story series has the highest box office, and it is also the most acclaimed work, the whole film is full of jokes, and the action scenes have joined the hot shootouts that Cheng Long's previous films did not have, which can be regarded as a certain breakthrough.
Happy Ghost II, the sequel to the blockbuster film, due to the big hit of the first episode, Huang Baiming has sufficient production costs, the film is more sophisticated, and the combination of beautiful girls and comedy will not be weaker than the fast story.
Five Lucky Star Three, with the foundation of the first two parts, the control of the rhythm is also more skillful, and the competitiveness of the box office is also extremely strong.
Party A and Party B, Feng Xiaokong's godly work, established his status as a master of Beijing comedy.
The scheduling of the four films has obviously been precisely deployed, and they all cooperate with each other, and if one becomes hot, another will take over, leaving no room for the opponent to play.
Yingshuai slowly frowned...
