Chapter 155 The dancing whirlwind is about to rise again

After the filming of "Hangover", Wang Yang had no time to pay attention to it for the time being, and the films he had been filmed were stored first. Because it was almost May, he suddenly became busy again, and there were quite a few things waiting for him to do.

The biggest thing is naturally the editing of "The Ninth Zone". Since the official launch of the filming in October last year, the production of its special effects shots has been carried out simultaneously. It took 7 months for the image engine to dispatch more than 300 animators and cooperate with five other special effects companies including Industrial Light and Magic. Only then did they finally complete these more than 800 special effects shots and can enter the editing stage.

Wang Yang was very satisfied with these finished images. Each alien with more than 4,000 pixels looks full of texture, perfectly blending with actors, scenes, etc. to form a real picture. The effect is no worse than Guru in "The Lord of the Rings 1". In fact, "The Lord of the Rings" special effects team Vita Studio also participated in some rendering work.

In addition to aliens, spacecraft, mechas and other things, there are more than 4,000 pixels, which is the same real; there are also hot and flesh-flying battle scenes, whether it is a head blowing or a broken hand or foot blowing, it makes people feel strongly terrified. The bloody and violent level makes the special effects team sigh, "It's so perverted!" There are also Robert Downey Jr.'s body deformed parts, the poor and dark zone ninth... they are all masterpieces that make people give thumbs up to the special effects team.

The promotion of "The Ninth District" has never stopped. As several websites of the third round of viral marketing "The Relationship between Humans and Aliens" were compromised by movie fans, Flame Movie released several viral videos, all of which were news interviews accepted by some experts and professors and ordinary people. There is no substantial story content, but it reveals the relationship between the two civilizations. Aliens are cruel, willing to destroy, full of hostility, and evil... Humans isolated them in the Ninth District built in the Mojave Desert.

The background of this story makes movie fans very puzzled. How could aliens always be so powerful, so how could they fall to the point of being trampled by humans? And what exactly is the story telling? One question has an answer, and another question arises again, and the answer can only be obtained in the cinema. This is viral marketing.

Flame Movie has not launched the fourth round of viral website. Although Christopher Fosson's blog, the official website of "The Ninth District" and a number of viral websites will continue to be updated, the publicity plan has entered a new stage, viral marketing throughout the real world.

Nowadays, in major cities in North America such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Toronto, passers-by can often see the promotional posters of "The Ninth District" at bus stops, subway stations, turfs, and even elevators and bathrooms of some famous buildings. However, these posters are not serious actor pictures, etc., but are printed with an alien image and a red cross-shaped logo painting. Apart from the official website of the movie, there is no information about the movie, but are posted with various slogans and a free call to report and discover aliens.

Propaganda slogans change according to the location, such as the bus stop "no aliens to ride", the mall "no aliens to enter", the phone booth "only for human use", and the everywhere "If you encounter aliens, please notify us to capture them, and you will receive 10,000 US dollars."...

In addition to promoting curious effects, the purpose of these methods is also to create a sense of inclusion for movie fans and audiences. When they see these official posters pretending to be government-posted on the street, they will subconsciously feel that they are true. Is this true? This is true. There is really an alien slum in the world.

These alternative poster tags will be placed in more cities and more public places in the next few months until the movie is released... But not only these, now on Hollywood Avenue in Los Angeles, an alien sculpture close to two meters high is placed on a conspicuous roadside position. Such "three-dimensional posters" will appear in various parts of North America in the future, and there are also some places for film and animation exhibitions and other events.

The release date is approaching day by day, and the publicity work is almost at the verge of being on the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the Oscar nomination).

The job of rough cutting is very simple, just linking the sequence of lens materials into the script. Naturally, no one of the more than 800 special effects shots will be left behind. Lee Smith is a top editor with rich experience and unique vision. Wang Yang is not worried about any problems.

The preliminary publicity of "Sweetheart" has long ended, and it has passed the MPAA review with a G-level rating. It has made a copy and is ready to log in to 2,970 theaters in North America on April 26.

"This is a girl who loves dancing. Her dream is to win the dance competition championship in the dance city..." With the narration voice in the trailer, on the TV screen, a sweet and sexy girl walked on the streets of the city, looking at the surrounding street scenes with a smile. There were young people everywhere enthusiastically dancing, skateboarding, parkour... The camera changed, and she asked confidently to several young men and women dressed in hip-hop, "Can I join your dance team?" A handsome guy in the lead nodded and said, "Okay."

At this time, the voice of the narrator sounded helplessly: "But..." The camera on the screen quickly switched. Jessica said, while practicing dancing, she was thrown to the ground by her feet; with an oh, she and her dance team companions walked on the street in a cool manner, and her head hit the lamppost and fell to the ground...

"Get out!" With the shouts of the dance team, she staggered out of the warehouse gate where the team practiced dance. "We don't welcome you", "Let's go, little girl"... She hit the wall repeatedly, and the narrator said again: "But..." Jessica roared to the sky with her fists and roared to the sky, panting, and said firmly: "I want to form a team!"

There was a laugh immediately. Joseph, whose hair was combed, held his stomach and laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. He pointed to Jessica, who looked at the fire-eyed look and said, "Team, team, haha..." With a bang, his head was slapped heavily by the guitar. Looking at the guitar that was about to be swung again, he hurriedly said, "I'm joining, I'm joining!"

As the narrator spoke the names of the stars in a brisk voice, their shots were played on the TV screen. "Michael Pete", in the dim and dirty, smoky room, Michael Pete, with pale face and bloodshot eyes, smoking a cigarette, decadently: "I won't dance anymore." Next to him, "Anne Darren" opened her mouth exaggeratedly, and said very scared and excitedly: "What, do you say the team participating in the competition? I? I can't do it."

"Scarlett Johnson, James Franko." They were wearing black leather jackets and leather pants, and they looked like cool brothers and girls. The two sneered disdainfully and said coldly: "Why do we want to join?"

"Because we are going to win the championship!" With Jessica's roar, some story shots were played on the screen, as well as wonderful dances, and pictures of supporting roles such as Justin Timberlake... The narrator said louder and louder: "Directored by Anne Fletcher and produced by Wang Yang! On April 26, the dance whirlwind is about to rise again, and "Sweetheart" is on the show!"

The picture calmed down, and in the dance practice warehouse, Joseph smiled and said, "Hey, guys, look at my new dance steps!" He said, while dancing the Hawaiian hula dance with a grim smile. Jessica, Michael, Scarlett, Anne, and Franko all looked at him with strange expressions. Jessica asked, "I want to kick him out of the team, who agrees?" Everyone raised their hands.

"Haha!" After watching the trailer on TV, Wang Yang, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled and said, "Sweetheart, you roared so much, so cute." Jessica next to her smiled and roared in a rough voice, saying, "I'm a lion!" Wang Yang looked at her and said, "No, you are a King Kong." Jessica smiled and pressed her head against his shoulder, and suddenly asked, "Yang, do you think I'll mess it up?"

"What are you messing up?" Wang Yang asked in confusion, and Jessica shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous." Wang Yang smiled, lowered his head and kissed her, and said, "You're messing up means I'm messing up, but I don't think so, I don't want to mess up. This movie has all the elements of success. It may not have the results of "Singing and Dance" but has its own market."

The production cost of "Sweetheart" is 20 million, and the cost of promotional copying is 20 million. This means that if the box office is only counted, it will require at least 100 million to make money worldwide. Of course, the peripheral revenue of original soundtrack CDs, DVDs, etc. has always been an indispensable part. As long as the movie can get most of the praise from young people, there will be no messing up.

"Don't worry, we can definitely make a good start!" Wang Yang hugged her waist tightly. This year, if FM's screening table is not counted, there are five large-scale screening plans for FM, "Sweetheart" on April 26, and then the summer vacation period is entered, "Ice Age" on May 10 and "Zero District 9" on August 2; there are "Hangover" and "Mr. Hughes" at the end of the year.

Whether the two main battle movies in the summer vacation can be successful will directly affect the development route of the Flame Movie. Looking at the advertisements on the TV screen, he frowned with his left hand and said, "I hit it 10:0 at the beginning, and then quickly enter the garbage time!" Jessica frowned and smiled, "No, no one will watch garbage time!" Wang Yang suddenly realized it and said, "It seems like yes! Then keep stalemate until three overtimes."

"Yang, when will we go to Staples to watch the game?" Jessica asked with interest. Wang Yang smiled without any worries: "At any time, it's just that our Warriors are too unsatisfactory, it's boring." This season, the Warriors continued to be at the bottom of the West, and the tactical system was chaotic, which made people see no hope, which made him feel in no mood to watch the NBA.

"That's a group of bad bastards." Jessica had no choice but to spread her hands, and smiled with teeth, "Why don't you join the Lakers' camp instead?" Wang Yang curled his lips indifferently and said, "Purple and green are never my favorites. I don't like traditional wealthy families. More importantly, I started to support the Warriors at the age of 1."

Jessica tilted her neck and said depressedly: "Then I can only accompany you to continue losing." Wang Yang smiled, looked at her for a long time, and decided to give her a birthday gift in advance. Then he patted her on the shoulder, got up and walked towards the study: "Wait for me for a while!"

"Ok." Jessica responded with a smile, picked up the remote control and turned the channel. After watching the evening news on TV for a while, she saw Wang Yang walking back with a small box wrapped in colored paper: "Dangdangdangdangdangdang, happy birthday!" He sat down on the sofa, handed the box to her with both hands, and smiled: "This is one of your birthday gifts this year, and I gave it to you in advance."

"Wow! Thank you!" She took it with a happy look, gave her own kiss on his cheek, and asked, "What is inside?" Wang Yang hugged her waist again and said, "Hey, open it and take a look." Jessica said of course, she tore open the colored paper and opened the box. She saw a few tickets inside. She took it out with a little confusion, took it out and took it, and immediately turned her head to look at his eyes, and smiled and said, "Korea and Japan World Cup?"

Wang Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, let's go to Asia for a week!" These tickets were bought a few days ago. He has always wanted to go to Asia and accompany his girlfriend. The Korean-Japanese World Cup seems to be a good choice. He looked at Jessica who was playing with the tickets and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?"

"Well, I enjoy traveling with you!" Jessica looked expectant and excited. She has been very busy for a long time recently. They haven't been on vacation for a long time. But when she thought about being busy, her happy heart couldn't help but calm down and asked with a frown: "But do you have time? "The Ninth District" will be released in August. Don't delay the movie for me."

She knew how important "The Ninth District" was to him. She worked hard for a year and went to Africa without stopping, and was under a lot of sudden pressure... "Sweetheart" could be screwed up, but "The Ninth District" absolutely cannot.

"Haha, no problem! It's time very good, it's okay." Wang Yang's voice was full of affirmation. He took two tickets from her and said, "Believe me, you know that I'm not the kind of person who ignores work for fun." The Korean and Japanese World Cup will be held on May 31, and the week they traveled would be that time. If it weren't for the "Ninth District" incident, he would have wanted to play in Asia for a month.

However, the workload of "The Ninth District" is indeed very large and very tight. First, we need to edit the theatrical version, then we also need to have the soundtrack, color adjustment, and some post-dubbing. These must be done before mid-July, and then submitted for review and copying, and then released as scheduled. However, in terms of the soundtrack, Jenn Kezmelick is already brewing and creating materials, and in terms of editing, he and Lee Smith also have a clear and complete plan, so they are not that rush.

Besides, he has worked harder in the past few months, spending all day in the editing room every day and working at night, so he doesn't have to take a week.

"And Jesse, although this is your birthday gift, I want to go and play myself!" Wang Yang smiled at her, shook the ticket in his hand, and said, "Hong Kong, Taiwan, Beijing, Shanghai... I have wanted to go to those cities for a long time, but this time it seems that it will not be enough for a week, otherwise we will just spend this holiday on the plane."

Jessica laughed and stopped talking about "The Ninth District". All she had to do was support. She believed that he could do it well. Thinking of going to Asia to travel and watch football games, she suddenly laughed, looked at the football pattern on the ticket, and said with a smile: "Yang, but I don't know much about football. It was played by 11 people, right? But apart from this, I don't even know its rules."

"Ha!" Wang Yang also laughed. He couldn't be considered a football fan. He didn't watch football games much, but he was still clear about the rules. He joked: "If you don't know, ask me, I'm a master fan. You know "I love Beckham", I love Ronaldo, and, um... I tell you, in fact, any football game is very simple. You just need to understand who is leading and who is lagging behind."

Jessica rolled her eyes and smiled, "Then applaud and shout for the party she supports. If you win, you will be happy, and if you lose, you will be uncomfortable. It's over!"

"yes! You are really smart!" Wang Yang smiled and pushed her head, looked at the tickets, and said, "Did you see it? I bought tickets for two games, China: Costa Rica, China has entered the World Cup for the first time, and I don't know how strong it is; and the United States: Portugal." He said, "Let's go to Hong Kong cities to play for a few days first, then go to watch football games, and then I come back to continue working. You can play whenever you like."

Jessica also pushed his head with a sweet smile on her face and said, "Of course I'll come back with you, there's nothing fun to play alone."

On April 26, "Sweetheart" officially landed on 2,970 large screens in North America. Countless young fans and viewers who love street dance took advantage of the weekend to enter the cinema to prepare for a look.

They all feel confident about the $8 and 105 minutes that are about to be spent. This movie has a bunch of handsome guys and beauties. The trailer is relaxed and interesting, the dance scene is cool and handsome, and it looks quite good. The most important thing is that it has the title of "Magic Yang" producer and screenwriter.
Chapter completed!
