Chapter 245 February 14, watching ghost movies(1/2)
Wu Xiang did not go home to celebrate the Spring Festival because of filming, but most Chinese people still have to go home to celebrate the Spring Festival, and just before and after the Spring Festival, the promotion of a movie began to go strong.
"Classic horror movies return to the big screen, "The Man in the Dark" meets you @Valentine's Day!"
“Director Wu Xiang’s latest masterpiece, Sanhuang fully supports it!”
"This is my first attempt at a horror film. What kind of surprises will director Wu Xiang bring?"
When you see these soft advertisements, you should understand that the film being promoted is Wu Xiang's "The Lonely Man in the Dark Mansion"!
This film is finally released. After such a long time, the post-production process took about half a year. Fortunately, the review process was relatively fast. To be honest, the current radio and television is not strict with this type of film.
It’s no better than the previous era, otherwise, we still don’t know when this movie will be released.
But this film is released now, and the time period is not very good. According to Wu Xiang's reputation and the star charm of the "Three Yellows", it should be said that it should be given a good schedule no matter what, just wait for a few
Month, on May 1st, right?
But don’t forget, this is a horror film, a domestic horror film!
Domestic horror films, for many years, have been rarely touched on this subject, and they are still about ghosts. Not only are there few such films, but the box office is also very poor. Not only now, but also in the future.
, domestic ghost films have always been in a weak state.
Therefore, these theater companies are not stupid at all. Even if it is a work directed by Wu Xiang, we cannot do a loss-making business. We might as well arrange it during the Spring Festival. And it is also on Valentine’s Day.
I can’t blame the theaters for this attitude, and it should be good on Valentine’s Day, too. Some films have sold over 100 million yuan on “Qingren” Day, of course. That was ten years later, and
It's still a romance film.
Wu Xiang doesn't dare to think about the issue of over 100 million today. In this current situation, it is impossible. Let's promote it in a down-to-earth manner.
Viral marketing is Wu Xiang's specialty. This time, it was handed over to Penguin. Penguin released a web page for the Avatar system, which had some moving little people on it, and it was similar to the one in "First Close Encounters"
That way, but this time the technology is much higher than that.
As for other marketing hype, Wu Xiang left this matter to Yu Dong. His ability is still very good, so Wu Xiang can rest assured.
In fact, the most important thing is that Wu Xiang doesn't have much energy to do marketing work now. He needs time to film.
Wu Xiang was filming. Huang Xiaoming was also filming, Huang Bo was also filming, and Huang Yanbo was also filming. Therefore, Huang Yanbo died first because he had a mission.
A premiere, no matter what, we have to hold such a premiere, even if the investment in this film is relatively small, even if we are quite busy.
But Wu Xiang was really busy, and he really didn't have time to attend the premiere. So, he had to give Xiao Ming a break and let him and Huang Yanbo take care of this matter. Of course, there was also the heroine Wang Luodan.
Wang Luodan's popularity has begun to rise recently. She was a little surprised, but some media contacted her and said they wanted to give her an exclusive interview or something.
Exclusive interview!
Did Wang Luodan dare to think about this before?
It doesn’t add up. Everyone knows why. Isn’t it because I acted in one of Wu Xiang’s dramas?
As a result, Wang Luodan now has another name, ‘Xiang Girl’!
It is undeniable that this name has a slightly festive color, but why does it sound so awkward?
Xing girl or Mou girl, no matter which one sounds better than this Xiang girl.
Although it sounds awkward, Wang Luodan has become a girl after all, and is much better than a college student.
"Smile."
"Wave."
"Keep smiling."
At the premiere, Wang Luodan, the heroine, naturally had to walk on the red carpet. This was the first time in her life. Since it was her first time, Huang Xiaoming, as a senior brother and the male lead of the film, of course had to take care of her.
For a moment.
"Hey, thank you..." In addition to smiling, Wang Luodan could also express a little politeness through his teeth, which was quite good.
"Yes, you learn quickly." Huang Xiaoming gave Wang Luodan an encouragement.
"Awesome!" This encouragement turned into these three words in Wang Luodan's heart.
Of course, Huang Xiaoming doesn't know what Wang Luodan is thinking. The only thing Huang Xiaoming wants now is to end the premiere early, finish the promotional work in various places early, and return to the mountains to finish filming his movie.
.
He sacrificed himself so late, at least he was better than this guy Huang Yanbo.
In fact, Huang Yanbo was thinking the same thing in his heart, but what he was thinking about was which movie he would be in next, Bubble Girl, and who should he target?
The three people, who had their own secrets, completed their work on the red carpet. On the day of the "qingren" festival, they walked into the cinema, accompanied by a group of movie fans, and began to appreciate their works.
There were quite a lot of movie fans, and the Workers’ Club Cinema in Beijing was packed anyway. That’s right, Wu Xiang chose this theater as the premiere theater for his new film this time, and other theaters also took the initiative to invite it.
In other words, at least 1,500 people came to watch the movie in this huge cinema.
Soon, the lights in the theater went out, and the horror movie "The Lonely Man" began.
The factory logo at the beginning passed quickly, and then the screen fell into darkness.
key!
A bunch of keys appeared from the darkness, and slowly, the camera began to zoom in. The audience could already see from the camera that the background of the key should be relatively old clothes. Obviously, the key should be hanging on
on a person's neck.
And suddenly, the camera turned!
A pair of eyes!
A pair of very unwilling eyes looked at everyone, as if they wanted to say something, but at this time, the audience had already seen that this was a little girl who had been hanged, and her tongue was still very long!
There was a bang, and at the same time, four big characters appeared on the video: Lonely Soul in the Black Building!
"Oh my God!"
It is undeniable that the sound effect just now scared the audience, and they were not prepared.
At the beginning of the shot, a person was reading an email. Only the outer packaging of the email could be seen, but the face of the person could not be seen. At this time, a sound came from the TV.
"Recently, a courage test competition will be held in the city's famous 'Ghost House'. The competition will be broadcast to the audience during the ongoing stage. The final winner of this competition will be able to film a film directed by Zheng Lei.
New film, "The Lonely Soul in the Black Building"..."
The film officially starts with a news report. This method is not new, but what is new is the "Lonely Ghost in the Dark Building", which integrates the entire plot. This is a very interesting attempt, and it is done in horror movies.
Let people's nerves relax.
"Haha..." Sure enough, some viewers chuckled.
While reporting, there were some close-ups of the environment of the haunted building, the spider webs, and the gloomy environment, which slightly enhanced the scary atmosphere.
"Our competition this time is mainly to see who has more courage, because only those who are bold can be qualified for my new film..." Zheng Lei, played by Mu Deyuan, appeared in the news, and he started to talk non-stop
Introducing his new film and this competition.
Soon, several people participating in this courageous reality show appeared.
They are Huang Xiaoming (Huo Feng), Wang Luodan (Yu Hong), You Fei (Huang Bo), Huang Ming (Huang Yanbo), and an old man named Lao Lin. The man who plays this old man is Director Liang Ming!
That's right, he was the original director of "The Lonely Soul in the Dark Mansion". When filming this film, he was also invited by Wu Xiang. It should be said that he was invited by teacher Mu Deyuan.
In the original movie, the character Lao Lin was actually a very bad guy, because the tragedy of the little orphan girl’s family was inseparable from Lao Lin, because after this character became the director of the Revolutionary Committee, he had a negative impact on the little orphan girl.
The woman's mother committed atrocities, which led to the woman committing suicide by jumping off a building. Naturally, Lao Lin was the first person to die in the film.
So what about this time?
Don't rush yet.
When the dare begins, the plot of the entire movie is somewhat close to the original movie, that is, there is also a camera crew, but this camera crew follows these five people, filming in this "ghost building", and after recording, it is produced and broadcast
of.
"Oh~ You reality shows and so on are also recorded and broadcast. They are not live broadcasts at all?" Huang Bo complained about this kind of filming method. He seemed a little silly when he spoke.
"Hahaha..." This caused the audience to laugh.
In fact, in this place, Wu Xiang is just satirizing the popular reality shows, which somewhat reflects reality.
As the plot continues to develop, it turns out that Huang Xiaoming and Wang Luodan were originally a couple, and when they came back to explore, they brought special equipment to record the "ghost" voice, but unfortunately, the recording took a long time.
"Ah! Don't kill me!"
Suddenly such a section came out, which shocked Huang Xiaoming at that time.
"What's going on? How could this happen?"
"What is that sound?"
"I don't know either!"
Finally, the haunting thing seems to have some clues.
However, what can such a sentence mean?
The two men and women in love quickly returned to their original state.
"It's so spooky here, it feels so exciting!" I didn't expect that this little girl Wang Luodan would be such a bold guy.
To be continued...
