I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Zhang Yuefan found it unbelievable that Lu Juan was similar to him last year, and could only make low-budget films like "Crying", where the plot was greater than special effects and scenes, but now, he is already a big director of commercial blockbusters.

It is impossible to say that there is no touch at all.

No matter how Zhang Yuefan lays down, he still likes movies. When he comes across a trailer of this level, it's hard not to be moved.

The texture, storyboard, and depth of the story reflected in this trailer far surpass those superhero movies that I usually watch. This is not a purely commercial blockbuster, it is an epic!

In the past, the industry also liked to make epic blockbusters, most of which were based on history, or myths, biographies, etc., and there were also completely empty ones, but gradually, such films almost disappeared. Manpower and material resources, the profit margin is not high, and the second is because there are fewer themes that can be filmed. Many classic content has already been filmed, and the cost performance of remakes is very low.

But now, it seems that Lu Yi is really going to make an epic blockbuster! ? ?

===307. Picked up on the road===

As soon as the trailer of "Magic Tide" was released, it immediately aroused discussions all over the Internet.

You must know that for a long time, domestic films have lacked such epic blockbusters with large costs and large investments. Especially in recent years, due to the injection of all kinds of messy capital, love idol films have risen, and making blockbusters is even more thankless.

But every favorite movie cannot refuse such an epic production.

Many people just keep it in their hearts and dare not say it, because once they say it, someone will tell you that the cost is too high and the income is too little, they will tell you that the domestic technology and manpower are not enough, and they will tell you that the domestic audience is not good enough. I like watching this kind of blockbuster.

If other directors release these trailers, some people may say that the essential parts are put in the trailers, they will say that the special effects are [-] cents, and they will say that it must be another "blockbuster movie" with gimmicks.

But this is Lu Jian's movie.

In the field of horror thrillers, Lu Juan has created a domestic box office record from scratch, and two consecutive films have sold well. Now Lu Juan is the guarantee of the box office.

In the comment area under this trailer on the old video network, in addition to serious comments, there are also some unknown characters appearing.

[Can I really watch this trailer for free? The light and shadow, the special effects, and the texture of the picture are invincible! 】

[Although I'm a little disappointed that it's not a horror movie this time, there is no doubt that this one has a more popular theme, and the box office is expected to be better, but I still hope that Lu Yi can continue to make horror movies! 】

[This movie is very exciting after watching the trailer. The tide of magic in the last days, the fortress, and the unyielding warriors are so much higher than the previous love fortress. 】

[Lu Yi's speed is too scary, isn't he a new movie that was released in May this year, and it's only been three months, and a new movie has been released?Even the donkeys of the production team are not so capable, right? 】

[This big-budget film feels like it needs to mobilize a lot of people. Why does it feel like I haven’t heard any relevant reports? Could it be that Lu Jian really raised a large group of exclusive actors like the rumors on the Internet? 】

[I read reports that Lu Yi was still recruiting people a few months ago. I didn't expect the production to be completed in such a short time. I'm afraid he sacrificed the hair and life of these people? 】

[Am I the only one who thinks that there are Chinese and foreigners in this trailer, which looks weird and not Chinese at all? 】

[Lu Yi's movie seems to be linked to the previous interactive video, and both mentioned the Kingdom of the Night. It seems that he really wants to create a silent universe. 】

[This movie is full of men, why there are no women in it? Is it because of discrimination against women? I have long wanted to say that in Lu Juan’s movies, women are generally either bad guys, ghosts, or dead. Isn’t he Taking the opportunity to promote inequality between men and women! 】

[Having said so much, when will this movie be released? I'm going to die without watching "Magic Tide"! 】

Lu Yi doesn't have the habit of controlling comments, but recently he found that there are always some strange accounts appearing under his account.

Especially once, he sent a status message, asking if everyone had any unpopular movie recommendations.

As a result, several comments appeared below saying that Lu Yi's movie was rubbish, or that he didn't like watching Lu Yi's movie.

What's even more ridiculous is that when other directors or crews mentioned keywords such as movies when they announced their announcements, these accounts would also post comments about Lu Jian's movies being bad or not good.

Just post with the robot.

"You have been bought into the navy."

Hearing Lu Jian's confusion, Qin Tiantian couldn't help but said.

"There are a lot of people like this in our circle. Some people see that others are popular, so they buy a troll, and let the trooper go to other popular anchors to smear this person to start a war and ruin the popularity of passers-by. You have to be careful!"

She speaks earnestly, as if she has the capital to become an adult only in this field.

"I don't think I have much popularity."

Lu Bing told the truth.

People who make horror movies, such things as passerby popularity are quite rare. Most of them scold him after watching them. If you recommend someone else's movie, you might get beaten up later.

"No, you can't do this. Some people, who obviously didn't do anything, ended up being hacked and hacked, and suffered for nothing. You have grown up and can't be so stupid."

Qin Tiantian spoke earnestly, and at the same time picked up a lobster in the basin, peeled off its head, took a bite, and then began to peel the lobster's shell.

"Speaking of which, what is in the lobster's head? Is it the lobster's poop?"

Lu Jian looked at Qin Tiantian's way of eating, and couldn't help asking.

"how is this possible!"

Qin Tiantian immediately denied it, but then felt a little guilty.

"It shouldn't be poop, no one's poop is in the mind, and, even if it's lobster poop, it's delicious!"

"Oh."

Lu Jian just asked casually.

This year's spicy crayfish is very cheap. Lu Juan remembers that it was suddenly popularized when he was in college. When he was a child, he could buy a catty for a few yuan. You can buy it at home and eat it until you vomit. Now the crayfish is so expensive. , I can't afford it at all.

However, due to the high cost of lobsters and large-scale farming in the past two years, this year's production has been oversupplied and much cheaper.

He and Qin Tiantian bought a few catties and took them home today, eating while watching TV.

"You need to promote your movie more. No one will know if you don't promote it now. It's best to use various websites and headlines, otherwise you may lose money."

Qin Tiantian gestured, and threw another lobster onto the dinner plate on the ground.

As soon as the lobster fell into the plate, Laika came over, sniffed it with his nose, and then swallowed it into his mouth, making a chewing sound.

"I did publicity, but I have to wait for the simultaneous release date abroad."

Lu Bian replied.

"At that time, I plan to directly buy the advertisements in Times Square, and I can also buy advertisements for buildings in Jiangcheng and Lingjiang."

"?"

Although Qin Tiantian doesn't know how much these advertisements cost, but according to his previous impression, the price of going to these places is definitely not cheap.

Laika climbed onto the table with her front legs. She looked at the lobster in the basin and stretched out her tongue.

"Don't worry, don't go to the table, I'll bring it to you."

Qin Tiantian put a few lobsters on the plate on the ground just like treating his own pets.

"But you can eat spicy food so well, did you grow up eating spicy food like me?"

She has been very nice to Laika recently, so she almost hugged it to sleep at Lu Jian's house. Thinking about Qin Tiantian's avatar also wearing a red scarf and having dog ears, maybe she really likes dogs.

It's just that sometimes when Qin Tiantian hugs Laika and touches fish on the sofa, in Lu Juan's view, the picture of a girl holding a ball of flesh and blood tentacles is a bit scary.

"Where did you get it back?"

Qin Tiantian couldn't help asking.

"I just picked up random ones on the road."

Lu Bing told the truth.

It is indeed on the road, and it is indeed picked up casually.

As for whether it is a dog or not, that is another matter.

"I also want to pick up a dog on the road."

Qin Tiantian said enviously.

After eating the lobster and cleaning up, Lu Yi saw an unread message on his mobile phone, which was received a few minutes ago.

It's a message from Thomas Lee.

[Thomas Lee]: Director Lu, the theater chain is no longer a problem, and we can officially start the publicity work there.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===308. If you are tired from watching, you can go to bed directly (monthly ticket plus update)===

A few days ago, overseas, Massachusetts.

Alfred Lake is one of AMC's senior department heads responsible for bringing in films.

He was Thomas Lee's superior.

"Christmas schedule? What the hell is Lee thinking?"

When Lake saw the report on the desktop, he felt that his subordinates were getting more and more difficult to deal with.

Here, the Christmas schedule is equivalent to the Spring Festival. The combined holiday of Christmas and New Year’s Day is also a good time for major shopping malls to launch promotional activities. The schedule of summer vacation and May Golden Week.

Generally speaking, just like most of the Chinese Spring Festival shows are happy and festive movies of the family carnival type, the movies around Christmas are also mainly light comedies, romantic dramas, cartoons, etc.

But Thomas Lee handed him a war movie.

Or a foreign language film.

In the words of the Chinese people, it is unlucky for those who celebrate the Chinese New Year to see what they are fighting and killing.

Although there is no similar emphasis overseas, everyone still likes to take their families to watch movies on Christmas Day. The classification of war movies does not allow children to be taken, and they will not give priority to such movies when they go out, which drags down the box office.

And it was filmed "abroad". For Lake, it was emotionally unacceptable.

Fortunately, only 5.00% of the film schedule is guaranteed in the contract, and the specifics will depend on the situation.

Beside the report, there is a box of CDs, which contains the movie "Magic Tide", which was sent by Thomas Lee for evaluation and local review and grading.

Overseas, all audio-visual entertainment products such as movies and games need to be rated to distinguish some of the content that is not suitable for children, and then make the movies of the level that children cannot see more exciting.

"Li's judgments are always accurate. There may be reasons for doing this this time. Why don't you watch this movie first?"

Lake originally wanted to start the review immediately, but suddenly thought of tonight's party.

He graduated from Miskatoke University in Massachusetts, where there is the famous Miskatoke College Student Film Festival, which is also the largest youth film festival in the United States. AMC, step by step to achieve today's position.

Tonight's party is the [-]th anniversary of his graduation with a few close classmates. It's in his house. His house is quite big, and a few friends can sleep directly when they are tired from playing.
