"Ai, I can't persuade you anymore. I hope you know what you're doing.
"I originally wanted to follow you to Hong Kong island with 'Living Burial', but it seems like I'll have to go there myself."
Although China has already joined the WTO and there are many international metropolises along the coast and even many international airports in the inland provinces, Hong Kong Island is still one of China's main windows to the outside world.
Especially for cultural output, most people would choose Hong Kong Island if they wanted to have a springy and powerful springboard.
And this also meant that 'Living Burial' was going overseas.
This was something that Ye Mo had never thought of before.
Therefore, he said, "What a pity. When 'Kung Fu' is out, I will personally participate. This time, I can only trouble you. "
"Well, since you've decided to make a new movie, you should start promoting it now.
Finding someone to write a few articles listing the people who founded the project, as well as the biggest investors and sponsors behind it, has a big impact on whether people are optimistic or not.
It's best if you take advantage of these days to make a trailer that highlights the style and selling point of the movie. "
"I understand. Fortunately, you reminded me. Otherwise, I would have really forgotten about this."
"Mm. Young man, you can build it with your strength!"
After hanging up, Ye Mo started to plan the production of the trailer.
At that moment, the system's voice suddenly resounded in his mind:
"Beep!" Congratulations to the host for writing a script that can become a textbook example. Completing the Sub Mission will result in 5 points!
The current score is in detail 10/20.
We still lack 10 points, so our writer skills can be upgraded to Transcendent! "
"It has already become a model?"
"Yes, the Ministry of Education has decided to classify your script as a college course. If nothing goes wrong, it will be printed into textbooks after work next year."
Although he had decided to include it in the textbook, he still needed a certain amount of time to verify it and to seriously ponder over the doubts of others.
However, generally speaking, those who made such a decision would have thought about it carefully and would not have made such a decision under pressure from their superiors.
"Very good, may I ask if you are going to post an assignment for me right now?"
Ye Mo had basically figured out the system's ability to urinate. Usually, he would immediately post the next mission after he had completed a talent award.
In the past, of course, he didn't reject anyone, but now, Ye Mo still wanted to shoot "Kung Fu", so he hoped that the new mission wouldn't come for the time being.
"No, you can take 'Kung Fu' out with ease. If the feedback effect is good, there will be an additional reward!"
"That's great, I can finally earn some extra money from you!" "Also, can you give me the trailer for Kung Fu?"
"Sorry, filming 'Kung Fu' is not a system quest, so your requirement cannot be met. However, you can plan and filming it yourself, or you can see how well you can direct it. This is very helpful to you."
"Alright, you're so stingy!"
"…"
The production of the trailer, in fact, is mainly to highlight the style and selling point of the film.
"Kung Fu" is different from the ordinary funny film, it is a kung fu comedy, so not only to highlight kung fu, but also to put on a laughing point.
Therefore, Ye Mo chose a casino Lion Roar Arts. From it, he took a short clip as a preview of the battle between legs and the "Why is the charterer out of water" and "A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, a magnificent army that can only meet once in a lifetime".
Of course, this way the trailer will be different from the positive film, can also be said to prevent the drama, the selling point will be outstanding.
Three days later, the actors were in position.
The scene of the art had also been chosen.
This day was also the time of day for heaven's will. There were still 40 days until the Spring Festival.
In such a short period of time, he was extremely nervous. However, in Ye Mo's opinion, he could still produce a small movie these days.
Of course, he would not do that. This was the first time that he was directing such a large group of people, so he had to put all of his effort into doing so.
The "Living Burial" that Ye Mo made was an attempt to let him know the production process of the movie.
The current trailer could also be said to be one of his trainees. For the next few dozen days, this was also a process of learning from experience. This way, he could know ahead of time about some of the difficult points and take precautions.
At the Yang Zhuang photographic base, after the opening ceremony was held for the creators of "Kung Fu", the first round of the trailer was started under Ye Mo's orders.
"It's the first time I've ever seen a real film. It's my first time doing a trailer. Are you sure this director isn't OK?"
One of the women in the role of the chartered woman, Fu Qiu, is an old artist.
When Ye Mo found her through an old Hong Kong movie, she hadn't taken over the show in eight years. These eight years weren't considered desolate, she only played mahjong or did hair work every day, so she was pretty relaxed.
"Ai, as a person, the most important thing is to be happy. So what if you have money, why do you care so much?" Brother Fu Hua tried to comfort him.
Actually, not only the two of them, but the other actors were also a bit suspicious of Ye Mo's directing ability. Wanting to produce a congratulatory film in such a short time was not only a challenge to the traditional filming technique, but also a challenge to the actors' bottom line.
Because sometimes a shot of a second, maybe even three or four days, is a common thing. If Ye Mo kept forcing the actors to do what he wants to do right away, it would be very unpleasant. At that time, forget about 40 days, even 400 days might not be enough.
Of course, everyone was using other director's standards to overestimate Ye Mo. They even felt that he had a lot of communication problems during the filming process, causing him to stagnate.
The actors have put on their costumes and put on their makeup.
First, the main character, A-Xing, pretended to summon the Axe Gang. In order to get the desired result, Ye Mo would seriously talk to the two main characters of this movie.
His actions and expression were based on the original film, but how to convey it to the actors so that they could experience it and achieve it was what a director should be like.
Furthermore, Ye Mo was wearing a face mask. Since the actors could not receive any signal from his facial expression, they could only comprehend it through Ye Mo's words.
Fortunately, Ye Mo's ability to express himself delayed his ability to write. He was able to quickly find the appropriate words and organization to express himself.
When Ye Mo was telling a play, they initially thought he would ask them to perform through complex actions and foolish expressions.
The result wasn't that, Ye Mo only used a simple expression and they immediately understood what he meant.
"His acting is so simple!"
This was the first impression that every actor made when they heard Ye Mo's speech.
The so-called simplicity was not something that could be done casually. Furthermore, the emotions Ye Mo asked them to achieve had already been guided through the communication process, causing the actors to immediately be immersed in the scene.
Other directors, however, simply ask the actors to do so, doing very little about emotional guidance.
So actors often need a certain amount of time to get into the act.
After hearing Ye Mo's request, Zhou Yifan and the others were on the verge of entering a meditative state.
What surprised the old actors the most was that after communicating with Ye Mo, the group performances that were originally playing awkwardly behind most of the scenes were actually able to perform at a higher level.
This made everyone feel very relaxed during the filming process.
Furthermore, the actors' movements and expressions were very accurate. Most of the scenes had happened once, and it could at most be repeated three times.
Thus, the one minute golden clock on the trailer was successfully shot in just one afternoon.
However, before the trailer was released, Ye Mo had to call for a press conference to inform everyone that he was going to make his move.
Therefore, Ye Mo immediately contacted Han Mengmeng after the filming was done.
"Mengmeng, contact the media for me. I want to hold a press conference for the new movie."
Recently, due to the matter of the new movie, Mengmeng had been busy to the point of being disoriented.
However, her execution ability was still very strong. She would do the important things herself. As for finding the media, Han Mengmeng could also do it according to the people under her command.
"Understood. When is the meeting?"
"Tomorrow!"
"Alright. "I'll get someone to prepare the document and send it to you later."
The script was an advertisement. It was the kind that made a background wall during a press conference.
The entertainment company was quite experienced in the production of documents. Ye Mo had already given them the fixed photos of the main work, so they could quickly produce the documents in two hours.
Ye Mo made a few suggestions and made three modifications before confirming the information. Then, Han Mengmeng went to print according to the order.
While looking at these documents, Ye Mo took these cameras to Star Path Entertainment, telling the editors to rush out immediately.
With the collaboration of "Living Burial" last time, the editors also found Ye Mo's temper, so after three hours, they quickly cut the footage into a 90-second video.
As for the special effects, they would need to spend more time, but once the money was paid, they would be happy to work late into the night.
At 2 AM, the special effect of the trailer was completed. The effects were still quite satisfactory.
The next day at noon, the press conference will be held in the square below the company.
At this time, the plaza was bustling with people, and it was a very suitable place for advertising.
With Ye Mo's reputation and the fact that 'Living Burial' was in flames, the reporters liked to be present.
Soon, more than thirty media outlets had gathered here. At the same time, there were a few youngsters who liked to watch the show.
The main team all arrived at the same time, and the press conference began quickly.
