Chapter Twenty-Six: Release, a major discovery that subverts history
Two hours later.
Looking at the final credits scrolling on the big screen, Yang Sisi and Guo Fan are still immersed in the movie and have not come back to their senses.
One hundred and twenty-five minutes seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
For a film, being able to immerse people in the brilliant plot and visual shock throughout the whole process, while ignoring the passage of time, is already a success in itself.
Wow.
The lights in the screening room come on.
"Did I really shoot this?"
Guo Fan couldn't believe it, the gripping picture on the big screen just now was really shot by himself in the crew.
The special effects are real, the plot is compact, and there are no urine spots throughout the process.
From the perspective of commercial films, this "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is undoubtedly a success.
Before this, Guo Fan was still a little dissatisfied with the editing, and on the weekend, despite his objections, he cut out some scenes that he thought were very deep and necessary to stay.
But after watching the finished film, he was completely convinced, and the part of the content that was cut over the weekend was indeed right.
If his part is retained, it will inevitably make the plot of this movie bloated, and it is not as silky as the current plot.
Guo Fan has always been a little proud of movies before, but now he suddenly feels a little inferior.
"Within three days, I will let people make a publicity plan, and it will be decided, and it will be released during the Spring Festival."
Although Yang Sisi has no evaluation in terms of movies.
But before seeing the finished film, she was a little opposed to being released during the Spring Festival.
Because the Spring Festival file is the golden period in the Chinese film market, almost all the major film production companies in China have put their company's most promising movies on the Spring Festival file, resulting in extremely fierce competition in the Spring Festival file.
If "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is rashly released during the Spring Festival, if you are not careful, it is very likely to fail.
The success or failure of a film's box office and the arrangement of the schedule are also decisive factors.
Sometimes, a good film may be selected on the schedule due to bad luck, and it will eventually fall into a fiasco.
And sometimes, even if a film is of average quality, it may be a big success at the box office because there are no competitors in the same period.
After all, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is the first drama invested by Yang Sisi after the establishment of her personal studio, and it is understandable that she should be cautious.
But after watching the finished film of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Yang Sisi's mind was completely changed, and she felt that she could take a gamble.
If "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can break out of the encirclement during the golden period of the Spring Festival, then with the bonus of the Spring Festival file, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" may be able to soar into the sky.
"There is still almost a month to go, and the Spring Festival stalls are about to start, so we have to hurry."
From submission for review to release, it is only one month to be full, the time is tight and the task is heavy.
In the following period of time, the weekend and Yang Sisi started all the work almost non-stop.
Take the film to the relevant departments for review, wait for the next approval of the public screening license, and then choose a date to finalize.
By the time he and Yang Sisi finally got the release permit and set the release date on the weekend, other Spring Festival movies had already begun to be promoted overwhelmingly.
[Produced by Happy Pictures, the comedy "Going Home for the New Year" co-starring Xu Ze and Duan Bao will be officially released on the 29th of the Lunar New Year. 】
[Invested and produced by Dawan Pictures and directed by director Li Guoshi, "Thirty Thousand Miles of Long Wind" will be released on the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve. 】
……
[Huayi Film spent 300 million yuan to create the domestic special effects blockbuster "Luzhen Fengyun", which will be officially released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. 】
The Spring Festival is the most important schedule of the year, and almost all major film production companies are riveting, trying their best to get a little opportunity in the schedule.
The importance of propaganda is undoubtedly the most important thing.
Now there are less than 20 days left before the Spring Festival, and almost all the headlines on major websites and platforms have been bought by film production companies at a large price.
After getting the license with Yang Sisi over the weekend and setting the schedule, when they started to publicize, they had lost the opportunity.
The most conspicuous positions on major platforms have almost been occupied by other film production companies, and they can only pick up some positions that others don't want on weekends.
"The trailer has been released, but now it doesn't seem to be working very well."
Looking at the playback data of the trailer, Yang Sisi said to the weekend in a nervous mood.
Compared with the data on the Internet, Yang Sisi is most worried about offline publicity.
The poster location of the theater, the venue of the roadshow and other publicity channels, they almost can't grab any good places.
Judging from the publicity, they are already a big cut behind others.
Sometimes, if you fall behind, you are likely to fall behind.
……
Meanwhile.
Western Xinjiang.
On the ruins of the old site of Niya, the survey team of the archaeological camp is in full swing to carry out the survey.
At this moment, someone in the survey team shouted in surprise.
"Captain, Zhang Xin said that there was a major discovery below."
Soon, the entire archaeological team was alarmed, and after Professor Wen got the news, he also rushed over with the students as soon as possible.
"What did you find?"
Professor Wen staggered over, and before the person arrived, he asked loudly from afar.
"Professor, after our survey, an anomaly has been found thirty meters underground."
"This morning we finally dug a passage from the ground and reached the place where the anomaly was found, and just now, there was good news from below, that there is indeed an ancient tomb underground."
"Professor Wen, look, these are some of the things we found from the periphery of the ancient tomb."
The leader of the survey team reported the good news to Professor Wen with ecstatic faces, and handed over some things unearthed from the periphery of the ancient tomb to Professor Wen.
"Well, that's great."
When Professor Wen got the news, he became extremely happy.
Soon, Professor Wen and his team began to take this pile of things and start researching.
"The patterns on this bronze vessel are indeed some totems of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, and according to historical records, the people who can use the containers engraved with totems are the most powerful people in the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom."
"Professor, the results of the soil analysis have come out, and it has been preliminarily determined that these floor tiles have existed for at least a thousand years."
After some research by Professor Wen and his team, they were finally able to determine that the ancient tomb underground was most likely the tomb of the Absolute King.
"I didn't expect the old blind man in the bazaar to be a liar."
When they had basically identified the ancient tomb, the tomb of the Exquisite Queen they were looking for, they were shocked.
In fact, the main reason why Professor Wen and the others were able to find this ancient tomb so smoothly was because they were at the market last time, and they got the guidance of the old blind man and drew a map according to the pattern on the stone tablet.
The location excavated by the survey team is marked on the map.
Now that the underground tomb was determined to be the destination of the team's trip, Professor Wen quickly asked the survey team to withdraw first, and then personally led the archaeological team to the underground.
Half a month later, after the hard work of the survey team, the ancient tomb that had been silent for thousands of years was finally rebuilt.
The news of the appearance of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom soon shook the entire archaeological community.
The fact that this ancient country, which once existed in the rumors of wild history, actually existed, may be a subversive discovery that will affect the history of the entire China.
This exciting news, with the deliberate publicity of the local propaganda department, soon spread throughout the country.
[The ancient country that has been sealed for thousands of years has recently resurfaced at the former site of Niya in Western Xinjiang. 】
[A thousand-year-old country, what secrets are hidden underground? Let's pay attention to the discoveries of an archaeological team in Western Xinjiang. 】
"Awesome, ancient countries that have been buried underground for thousands of years can be discovered by the archaeological team."
"It won't be another Terracotta Army, right?"
"You think too much upstairs, it's just a very small country, how can it be compared to Qin Shi Huang."
"A thousand-year-old tomb? The weekend and Yang Sisi's new movie seems to be also a movie related to tomb robbing. ”
"One is a tomb robbery movie, the other is an archaeological discovery, how did you think of them together?"
"Isn't archaeology just tomb robbing? Not the same yet? ”
After the vigorous publicity of the local government, many people on the Internet have focused on Professor Wen's team.
However, at this time, Professor Wen and his archaeological team also encountered a problem.
Although they found the tomb, they never found a safe way to enter the tomb unless it was violently blasted.
But this is impossible, after all, they are an archaeological team, not tomb robbers, and cannot carry out destructive excavations on ancient tombs.
Professor Wen's archaeological team was at an impasse at this time, and at this time, the time had come to the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the most important holiday for Chinese people, and even at this critical moment, Professor Wen had to give the team a day off.
"Tomorrow is a holiday, and I can finally go on a date with Ah Cai."
Qi Ming, a graduate student of Professor Wen, was recently courting a local girl in Western Xinjiang, and when he heard the news of tomorrow's holiday, he was as happy as a monkey.
The next day, Qi Ming found a girl from Western Xinjiang dressed neatly and took her to the city for a whole day of dating.
"Let's go see a movie, it's still early, I'll send you back after watching the movie."
When it was just dark, Qi Ming took the girls from Western Xinjiang to the cinema in the city with great experience.
The girl from the western Xinjiang glanced at Qi Ming shyly, knowing that Qi Ming was a drunkard and did not mean to drink.
"Hmm!"
"Let's look at this, "Ghost Blows the Lamp", it's very interesting to watch."
Qi Ming saw that the girl nodded and agreed, and suddenly had a drama in his heart, and then deliberately chose a movie called "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which sounded like a horror movie.
Horror movies, isn't this opportunity coming?
When the girl from Western Xinjiang followed Qi Ming into the movie theater with half pushing and half giving in.
As everyone knows, the thoughts of the girls in the West Xinjiang at this time are the same as Qi Ming's, and they all feel that the opportunity has come.
High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey. (End of chapter)
