Chapter 186 "Transformers" that went viral before it was broadcast (Please subscribe for the second update!)
Due to scale issues in Li Ningyu's scene, all Tang An who could appear was cut out.

But this section is equipped with a lot of music to set off the environment.

She passed through the dark corridor and came to the dark, secret room to accept Takeda's inspection.

The slow piano soundtrack started to remind me, exaggerating the uneasy atmosphere.

With a heavy closing sound, Li Ningyu's body trembled, and the piano music stopped abruptly, heralding the next dangerous encounter and the inner fear of the characters.

There is also the use of light. In the scene of assassinating Wang’s puppet high-ranking official at the beginning of the film, the camera’s light is top light, which shines down from the top of their heads, and their eyes are covered in darkness by the shadow of their browbones.

The harmonious and harmonious atmosphere of the dinner was not shown here at all, but the stern facial expressions of the two were set off by light and shadow.

It indicates the long distance between the two people, and even the opposing positions, which also paved the way for the tense atmosphere of this assassination.

It took nearly half a month to complete the first round of fine editing, and the entire film lasted 143 minutes.

After that, I rested for two days, changed my head, and watched the 143 minutes from beginning to end several times, taking notes while watching.

After that, it took more than a week, and the second fine-cut film still had 121 minutes.

More than two hours, this is definitely not acceptable.

24 hours a day, one show every two hours, plus a 15-minute space in between, one screen can only show 10.6 shows a day.

Continuing with the third fine-cutting, the more time it takes to get to the end, each shot has to be considered repeatedly, and the choice of each second of the shot has to be weighed many times.

Finally, 10 days later, on June 6, the final version of "The Wind" was released.

107 minutes, the last 2 minutes of the scene can't be reduced, otherwise it will cause incoherence in the plot.

Add the 15-minute interval, 122 minutes, over 2 minutes.

After editing, post-production such as dubbing and subtitles began, which took another week.

On June 6th, after 25 days, the first domestic spy war blockbuster "The Wind" was officially completed.

People immediately took it to Optoelectronics for review, and Huayi, China Film and more than a dozen theaters held a screening of the film, and everyone was very satisfied with the film.

Huayi and China Film decided to invest 1000 copies in the early stage, and the theaters will give more than 50% of the films on the first day.

Tang An was also not worried that with the explosion of "Transformers", the film schedule would decrease. There were only 600 copies of that film, which was not so fast.

When the subsequent copies are distributed in theaters across the country, the box office and word-of-mouth of "The Wind" in the first two days are enough to ensure that more than half of the films will be scheduled.

With less than a month to go until its release, the promotion of the film is about to begin.

The actors also returned to the capital from all over the country and began to cooperate with the film in the early stage of publicity.

The Internet, print media, and TV stations have taken a multi-pronged approach, and various posters and trailers have spread all over the country.

It can be seen everywhere on buses, shopping malls, elevator rooms of office buildings, and movie theaters.

It focuses on promoting the first domestic spy war blockbuster, the first film without any Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and the first blockbuster film belonging to the mainland.

Of course, Tang An also had to start working, leading the crew to participate in several programs.

The mighty coming of "The Wind" also heralds the official start of the 2007 summer vacation.

After running around for more than half a month, on July 7, the first blockbuster "Transformers" of the summer vacation finally began to premiere.

As the distributor, China Film Group naturally also held a premiere ceremony, which can be regarded as an official announcement of the arrival of the summer file.

At 6:[-] p.m., Tang An came to the Xingmei International Cinema in World City.

Although Spielberg, the main creator of "Transformers", Bombay and the leading actors did not come.

Parking the car nearby, Tang An felt a bit miscalculated when he saw the posters of Autobots outside the entire building of the cinema, and those large groups of fanatical steel wires.

After a cursory look, there are seven or eight-year-old children holding Autobot toys, middle-aged people in their 40s and [-]s, and there are basically people of all ages.

Since the film "Transformers" was released in North America on July 7, it has become the focus of the film market all over the world.

Released on Tuesday, it grossed 6 million US dollars in the first six days, and the gorgeous special effects have conquered all audiences.

It was also a big hit overseas, and South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia and other regions that were released first also occupied the local daily box office champions.

With the trailer landed in the mainland, even watching it on a computer screen still feels shocking.

Transformers toys suddenly appeared in the most prominent position in the toy store. Nearly half of the movie theaters were filled with Autobot posters, and Autobot trailers were played every day on the big central screen.

It exploded before it was released, a bit too fast!
Tang An shook his head, just be tough, I hope China Film will not expand the scale of distribution so quickly.

Propaganda still has to be accelerated!

Walking into the screening hall, the interior is already being set up, and several people dressed as Autobots are rehearsing there.

The reporters also rushed over in batches, and surrounded Tang An as soon as they entered.

"Hi, Director Tang, "Transformers" is a big hit at the box office around the world. What kind of results do you think can be achieved in the mainland, Director Tang?"

"If it can break through [-] million, it will become the third Hollywood movie to break [-] million besides "Titanic" and "King Kong"!" Tang An said after thinking for a while.

I can't say [-] million, it seems stage fright and exaggeration.

As far as the fans gathered outside, although there is enough momentum, most people's estimates for "Transformers" are just over 1 million.

"Someone analyzes that "Transformers" will be the biggest rival of "The Wind". Don't even have the confidence to win the summer box office again?"

"Of course!" Tang An replied without thinking.

""The Wind" is the first domestic spy war blockbuster, what is Director Tang's expected box office?"

"Two hundred million, people must make progress!" Tang An said with a smile.

When the premiere was about to start, Han Sanping also appeared.

As the chairman of China Film Group, he is even busier now, and he doesn't have time to attend the general movie premiere.

Tang An immediately went up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Han Dong, judging by the posture this time, "Transformers" may be the next "King Kong"!"

Han Sanping greeted everyone one by one, and said with a smile, "Why, Director Tang lost confidence?"

"of course not!"

"I just don't think Hollywood movies have had this kind of momentum in the past, even Superman and Spiderman, why are they so popular this time!" Tang An pretended to be puzzled and said.

Next to him, Wang Zhonglei immediately preemptively added, "It's only after Mr. Tang said that that I realized that the film market will naturally get better and better this year when Director Han takes office!"

Rub, sycophant!
"Just kidding, just kidding, "Transformers", I've seen this cartoon before, it has a wide audience, and the special effects are good, so the audience loves it!" Han Sanping waved his hand and smiled.

Then everyone turned on the flattering mode one after another, and Tang An couldn't get in what he wanted to say.

Chong Linsheng made a show, and the two came to the side, ready to ask about the situation.
