Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 220 Choose a suitable day for release

After returning to China.

Xu Nuo sorted out the material of "Oppenheimer" filmed in the past two or three months, and then prepared for post-production editing.

For a movie, post-editing is also a crucial part.

Sometimes no matter how good your filming is, as long as your post-editing is a mess, then the quality of your finished film may drop by more than one or two grades.

Fortunately, each of Xu Nuo's films is edited and edited by himself.

Of course, the specific editing work must not be done by Xu Nuo himself, but handed over to AI Guan Ju. Xu Nuo mainly does a gatekeeping job in the later stage, so that Guan Ju can edit and produce the finished film according to his own ideas.

Xu Nuo has been thinking about how to achieve the box office goal of "108 billion" when he is doing post-editing and production work.

This is not an easy goal to achieve.

What's more, "Oppenheimer" is not a commercial blockbuster, and it is different from Xu Nuo's previous sci-fi commercial blockbusters and popcorn movies.

This type of biographical film, the overall style is not about a fight, a cool, but a story about a well-known character.

Generally, if this type of film is well shot, it is easier to win awards, but at the box office, its ability to absorb money is far inferior to commercial blockbusters.

This is the law of the market.

That is to say, what the audience often says is whether it is popular or not.

Everyone said that this movie was good, but the box office performance of this movie was so-so when it was released.

Xu Nuo has to face up to this market law, but if he wants to complete the system's box office goal, he has to find a way to try to break this market law.

Otherwise, Xu Nuo would not be able to complete the film project "Oppenheimer", and everything would be in vain.

"First of all, we need to rekindle the popularity of "Oppenheimer"."

Xu Nuo began to ponder.

Although "Oppenheimer", a movie shot by Xu Nuo, has gained a lot of popularity after many hits before, but Xu Nuo feels that this is not enough.

This time, we have to rely on the popularity of the topic and the quality of the movie to boost the box office after the release.

But how to create topic heat?

Xu Nuo is currently working on the quality of the film. During the filming period and the current post-production, Xu Nuo is responsible for checking the quality. There must be no problem with the quality.

"Guanju."

Xu Nuo softly called AI.

"Sir, do you have any new ideas about the cut content of the film "Oppenheimer"?"

When Guan Ju heard Xu Nuo calling him, he responded and asked.

"No, I just want to ask you, how do you think to promote "Oppenheimer" to create more heat, be known by more people and enter the cinema?"

Xu Nuo didn't think of any good way to create a hot topic just now, so he asked Guan Ju about it.

"Sir, the release date of "Oppenheimer" can be considered to coincide with a certain time point in history."

After Guan Ju heard the words, she quickly gave her advice.

As expected of an AI with a large supercomputer, its reaction speed is really fast enough, but Xu Nuo believes that after Guan Ju is replaced with a quantum computer, she can be even faster.

"Oh?"

When Xu Nuo heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he had a brand new idea in his mind.

I have to say that Guan Ju's AI is really useful, sometimes it can always give Xu Nuo some inspiration.

Just like what Guan Ju said just now, you can consider making the scheduled release date of "Oppenheimer" coincide with a certain time point in history.

The historical time nodes related to the movie "Oppenheimer" roughly include the days when the atomic bomb experiment exploded, or its background is some key days of World War II.

Like Victory Day or something like that.

And, of course, the day when the first real atomic bomb was dropped.

“5月8日，7月16日，8月6日，9月2日.”

Xu Nuo quickly sorted out these specific time points, but then shook his head and said: "May 5th must not be possible, because it has already passed, and the remaining three time points are not bad, and the distance is not counted." It’s too far away, but on July 8, it might be a bit too cramped.”

Now that it has entered the summer vacation, the summer vacation of domestic movies has already kicked off.

If "Oppenheimer" can be released during the summer period, it will definitely be more beneficial to the box office of the movie.

The four time nodes that Xu Nuo just mentioned are actually not bad for the movie schedule.

May 5th is the continuation of the May 8st schedule, but at this point in time, it is better to directly choose the May 5st schedule, and this time is no longer considered, unless it is May 8th next year.

The reason why Xu Nuo thought of this time point is because for the Second World War, May 5th is a relatively important day.

That is Victory Day.

Of course, this World War II Victory Day is compared to Europe, because this time commemorates the May 1945, 5, when Germany officially signed the instrument of surrender in Berlin, announcing its unconditional surrender in World War II.

July 7th is the day when mankind successfully conducted the first nuclear test of an atomic bomb.

It was also the time of the most important scene in "Oppenheimer" filmed by Xu Nuo. It was at this point in time that the nuclear test was successful. Xu Nuo used real movie nuclear props for the actual filming.

So this time point is also very important for the movie "Oppenheimer", and July 7 is also when the summer file is popular.

It's just that Xu Nuo looked at the time again and found that July 7 was not far away.

"Oppenheimer" still needs to do several rounds of trailer announcements. If the date is hastily set on July 7, it may lead to insufficient preparations and the like.

Then there are two time nodes left.

One is on November 8th and the other is on October 6st.

Needless to say, many people know that September 9 is the anniversary of the end of World War II, that is, the day when Xiaotian signed the unconditional surrender document.

This is a good day, but as far as the movie schedule is concerned, on September 9, all major colleges and universities will start school, and even elementary and middle schools will almost start school. very big.

"November 8."

Xu Nuo finally fixed his eyes on this day.

If my own movie "Oppenheimer" wants to choose a suitable and good day to be released, after all, it may be a good choice to release it on August 8.

"Sir, are you planning to release "Oppenheimer" on August 8? This may be a good release date."

Guan Ju said calmly.

"Do you know what special meaning this day has?"

Xu Nuo spread his hands, looked at the AI ​​bionic robot Guan Ju and asked with a smile.

"On August 1945, 8, the first atomic bomb in human history was the little boy."

Guan Ju replied.

"Ah, boss, if you choose to release "Oppenheimer" on this day, will you lose the film market in the small day area?"

Wen Ruohan heard the words, although he also felt that the release at this time was indeed pretty good.

But from the perspective of box office revenue, if you choose this time point, the box office of Little Days may not be very good at that time.

Because the release of "Oppenheimer" on this day will undoubtedly remind the young people of the fear of being dominated that day!
"The heart of that little day is too fragile, and Xiaowen, now the mainstream of the little day has begun to develop in the direction of reflecting on World War II. Maybe when our "Oppenheimer" is released in the little day region , It can also cause a wave of reflection in the small days."

Xu Nuo smiled, and said to the slightly worried assistant Wen Ruohan.

If it was a few years ago, if "Oppenheimer" was released in the small day area on August 8th, then it is estimated that it will be "boycotted". In this way, "Oppenheimer" It is difficult to get too much box office in the small day area.

But now even America has changed its development strategy, Xiaotian followed her eagle father, and had to make some changes for her own development in the past two years.

It can be said that the incident after the release of the last "Dragon Squad" movie was the last stubbornness of Xiaotian.

After that, Little Days gradually began to move towards the "right way", and a wave of reflection on World War II was also set off.

Under such circumstances, the release of "Oppenheimer" may not be a bad thing.

"Is that so? Is this a sex change in Xiaotian?"

Wen Ruohan was a little surprised when he heard what the boss Xu Nuo said.

Because in Wen Ruohan's inherent impression, Little Life is that kind of unrepentant image.

Unexpectedly, they would also reflect on their crimes?

"It's nothing more than for the benefit of its own development."

After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he said to his assistant Wen Ruohan in a serious manner: "Xiaowen, then "Oppenheimer" will be scheduled for the summer vacation on August 8th. Let Real Media prepare it. After a trailer is cut, the promotional activities can begin.”

"Okay boss, when the time comes to announce the event, do you want to invite Hollywood actors such as Mann Kidd and Lucas Dionisio to cooperate?"

Wen Ruohan nodded immediately, and then asked about it again.

"If there is a specific publicity event, then of course these actors are required to come and cooperate with the event, which is also written in these contracts."

Xu Nuo said with certainty.

Wasn't the purpose of choosing these famous Hollywood actors in the first place was to increase the topic of "Oppenheimer", otherwise, why would Xu Nuo spend a lot of money to invite these famous Hollywood actors.

Big-name Hollywood actors like Lucas Dionisio, Hyatt Kaye, and Kate Hansen are the box office pockets of the movie "Oppenheimer" overseas.

The reason is actually the same as domestic traffic stars, but these foreign big-name actors do have acting skills, coupled with their high popularity, their box office ability is relatively much higher than that of domestic traffic stars .

Because domestic traffic stars may be top-notch, but you may not necessarily star in a movie, and more than [-] million fans will walk into the cinema and spend money to watch Giegie's movie.

"Well, well, I will contact them then."

After Wen Ruohan finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and started to make some arrangements in the WeChat work group.

As for the film's publicity and release activities, although the boss Xu Nuo usually organizes them, the specific matters are all handled by the real media.

After all, Real Media has gathered many professional talents in the fields of film and television, publicity and planning in China.

"On August 8th, we will hold an early screening event in Yuzhou City, and then lift the ban on word of mouth." Xu Nuo is still making arrangements according to the model of previous movies.

That is, if it is officially released on August 8, then there will be a wave of screening activities one day in advance, mainly inviting domestic and foreign film critics and media to conduct real word-of-mouth evaluations of the film.

Xu Nuo will not spend a penny to let these movie review media brag about his movies, he will do whatever kind of movie reviews he feels after watching, the main thing is a truth!
Xu Nuo believes that only real movie reviews can help audiences decide whether to spend money to go to the cinema to watch this movie.

Instead of relying on a large number of water troops to blow indiscriminately.

It is obviously a piece of shit, but under the operation of domestic capital, it can be blown into a table of delicacies from mountains and seas for you. After entering the movie theater, audiences who don't know the truth think they are eating delicious food, but it turns out that they can't explain it in words!

quickly.

Two days later, the movie "Oppenheimer" began to release the first round of trailers.

The announcement of this round of trailers did not specify a fixed time, but just a warm-up.

Moreover, Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to edit the trailer, which definitely made it difficult for the majority of netizens to guess what kind of technique was used to shoot this film.

Maybe everyone knows what kind of story "Oppenheimer" tells, but you will never guess how many surprises Director Xu has hidden in this movie.

Unsurprisingly, the actual footage shot with real movie core props was not disclosed in the trailer.

After the first trailer came out, what netizens at home and abroad want to know most is when "Oppenheimer" will be released.

"Finally the trailer is released, the texture of the trailer looks good."

"We've already shown the trailer, why don't we shoot the actual scene?"

"When will it be released, Director Xu?"

"Hurry up, there are no good movies recently, just wait for Director Xu."

"It looks even better than expected."

"So, half of the summer vacation is over, when will it be released?"

Netizens want to know when "Oppenheimer" will be officially released, and a few days later, the film official will conveniently release the second trailer.

[Adapted from real people, director Xu Nuo's latest masterpiece "Oppenheimer" is scheduled to be released, and the real nuclear bomb exploded on August 8, shocking! 】

On the AI ​​entertainment platform and the international version, as soon as the second fixed-file trailer was released, it broke through tens of millions of views in an instant, and even more than 100 million people were watching it at the peak.

Netizens in most parts of the world are very excited when they see the scheduled release date, because Director Xu's "Oppenheimer" is finally coming.

But people in only one place, when they saw the release time, immediately broke their defenses on the spot.
