Chapter 249 "Legend" Preview (Earth)
"Legend" crew Xiangjiang Roadshow.

The crew of "Legend" has been roadshowing in the mainland for more than half a month.

In the budget of a movie, about 15% to 30% of the publicity costs. The overall filming cost of "Legend" is 5 million yuan, and the promotional funds are about 1 million yuan, accounting for 20%. , Zhang Le and other stars have natural appeal, and fans of the "tap water" level can save a lot of publicity costs, which is why directors like to use traffic stars.

However, in terms of attendance, investors and directors are cautious about the role of meteor stars. From the failure of the sequel of "Little Times" to the fiasco of "Shanghai Fortress" by top-ranking Lu Han, the film and investment circles are aware of the traffic Not everything, it can grace a movie without turning shit into gold.

For this "Legend" production team's road show in Xiangjiang, the eldest brother specially invited Truman, who was filming the Star Master drama in Xiangjiang, to the scene. It is regarded as an excellent opportunity for Truman to gain die-hard fans in Xiangjiang circle, so the pre-stage fans plan has already started.

When Truman was filming in the Xingye crew, the large LED screens in Causeway Bay Sogo Department Store, Queen's Road in Central, Universal Building in Central, etc., had begun to intermittently broadcast a creative short film.

The content of the short film is a prince in gorgeous costumes, walking on the steps, only the back view, the beautifully dressed Gulia at the end of the steps and the big brother kneeling below the steps are all in sight, the prince walks slowly to the end Looking back, a golden mask came into view, and then the promotional slogan and release time of the "Legend" movie appeared.

This short film is less than 20 seconds long and is repeatedly broadcast on the LED screens in the most prosperous area of ​​Xiangjiang dozens of times a day. It belongs to the promotional advertisement jointly launched by Shen Yining and the crew of "Legend".

This advertisement has attracted a lot of attention. The eldest brother is a legend in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, and everyone knows it. An entertainer with a golden face as a match?This kind of treatment can't help but make all Xiangjiang people curious.

Who?Such a big gesture?
……

The day of the "Legend" Xiangjiang Roadshow.

Since it is not a premiere, there are not many ceremonial links, that is, the movie is played first, and then the leading actors appear and interact with the audience.

Sitting at the back of the auditorium, the eldest brother watched the flashing images on the movie screen in the dark environment. Every time he came to this moment, his thoughts were immersed, and he could always go back to the golden age of Xiangjiang movies 20 years ago.

At that time, Xiangjiang film and television circles were fighting for hegemony. A small Xiangjiang, a small place, delivered high-quality films to the entire Southeast Asia and even the world. Xiangjiang was the main battlefield. Peek at the audience's reaction from the audience seats. If the response is enthusiastic, you know the film is a success. If the response is cold, you know it will hit the street.

It doesn't matter if you rush to the street, you can fight again. At that time, the atmosphere of Xiangjiang movies was full of vigorous fighting spirit and vitality. Various types of movies emerged one after another, martial arts movies, zombie movies, gunfight movies... all of them could lead the trend of the moment, until the scene, I am still eating the money I had at that time.

I'm old, Xiangjiang Movies is also old, we're all getting old... The eldest brother felt emotional, at this moment, the first picture appeared on the screen, which was a prince wearing a silver mask, and the eldest brother withdrew his mind, Start watching movies.

My own works, especially those I am satisfied with, I will never get tired of watching them thousands of times, so my eldest brother started to savor this movie with relish.

From shooting to editing, every step determines the quality of the finished movie, or in other words, every step can make a movie completely different, such as "Legend", the opening scene of the first cut is mainly modern dramas, and the film still starts as usual. Explain the characters played by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will perform gags and show kung fu as usual, and introduce two key supporting roles, Zhang Le and Gu Liya...

But director Tang thought it was too "routine", so he asked his elder brother for his opinion when editing, starting from another world, that is, the world view of "Legend", and first showing the most exciting character in the play, that is, the perspective of the prince.

I have to say that the final product was beyond Big Brother's expectations. It broke through the stereotypes of Big Brother's movies and presented a completely different temperament. At least, at the opening moment, the audience was immersed in a kind of epic. atmosphere.

……

"A different Big Brother movie."

A film critic sitting in the front row records his viewing experience in his notebook.

The plot is progressing, and the prince on the screen is amazingly brave and good at fighting. His movements are chic and natural, and the silver mask on his face adds to this character's many mysterious and attractive qualities.

"The play is great. Is that the actor named 'Truman'? It's a bit like Jet Li."

Film critics continue to note.This is a very high evaluation. There are countless stars in Xiangjiang, but there is only one Jet Li. Jet Li's fighting movements are smooth and unrestrained, which is an unattainable peak in Hong Kong martial arts movies.

The alien plot continues until the prince leads his troops to win a victory, and welcomes the princess sitting in a luxury car into the city. The whole rhythm is closely connected, but a little procrastinated.

"Director Tang is still not very handy when dealing with big scenes..." The film critic wrote down this and crossed it out, but he couldn't be so demanding. From the viewer's point of view, there is no perfect movie, and from the shooting point of view, each Directors have their own style, those who love will always love, and those who hate will always hate.

……

"Yaya is so beautiful~"

There are fans of Gulia in the audience in the back row. In this film, Gulia's appearance is really eye-catching, similar to the clothing characteristics of Persia and Arabia, and the glamorous makeup makes Gulia look "beautiful". It is synonymous with AB's stunning appearance in "Di Renjie's Supernatural Dragon King".

Gulia's fans were unimpressed by the comparison of Gulia to AB, saying 'We Yaya can move! ', the connotation of these words is that AB is beautiful on display, she is a beauty of paper, and she loses points as soon as she moves, which immediately provoked a war of words with AB's fans, and the topic is still lying on the Weibo hot list.

"Tsk~ so sweet~"

Fans saw the prince holding Gu Liya in his arms, showing his subordinates and subjects that this was his harvest, and when Gu Liya showed a stubborn and unyielding look in his eyes, they couldn't help but let out a "knocked" admiration.

Of course, just one scene will not trigger so many associations, but thinking of the prince actor Truman and Gulia as a couple in reality, this can elicit all kinds of feelings in my heart.
