Song Hao's "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" has been finalized.
Someone is happy.
Someone is looking forward to it.
Others expressed doubts.
Some people panicked.
That is Chairman Yang of Chasing Light Animation.
Before that, he was certain that Song Hao's film would not be released before the opening of the China Film Festival.
As a result, they were first notified that the China Film Festival was postponed for 20 days, and then Song Hao stated that it would be released on December 8.
This is clearly to allow the movie "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" to be released first, so as to be shortlisted for the awards at the China Film Festival.
"This is simply cheating!!"
Director Yang was very angry.
He immediately called the organizer of the China Film Festival.
"Hey, Director Sun, this film festival is usually held at the beginning of the month. Why is it postponed to the end of the month this year?" Director Yang asked.
Director Sun on the phone was cheerful: "Director Yang, this is the request from the Film Association. According to them, many filmmakers are too busy at the beginning of the month and may not have time to attend, so the opening has been postponed to the end of the month. .”
Director Yang was speechless upon hearing this, and then he continued to ask: "Will the movie released next month still be shortlisted for the film festival?"
"You may have to ask the film festival's jury about this one. I'm not sure." Director Sun smiled awkwardly.
Just like that, Director Yang could only hang up the phone.
He also knew that it would be impossible to pry out a sentence or two of the true situation from the mouths of these old foxes.
If I can win another award at the China Film Festival this year.
Then your company will completely become a giant in the animation field.
It will be of great benefit to the subsequent financing and listing next year.
Now he just hopes that Song Hao's animated film will have a box office success.
In this case, it will not compete with itself for market share in the animation field.
Then he had an idea and said to his assistant: "Go find Team Leader Zhang of the Propaganda Department and ask him to come to my office."
"Okay, Mr. Yang."
After Song Hao's animated film "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" began to be promoted, major stars who had previously collaborated with him also forwarded it.
Even Wang Chuanjun, Huang Xiaoming and others even held a live broadcast to interact with fans. Two of their three lines of dialogue were promoting Song Hao's new movie.
This also made fans couldn't help but joke.
"You feel like Director Song's navy."
"Hahahaha, how much did Director Song give you? I'm going to promote it too."
"But to be honest, among the artists who work with Director Song, I have never seen anyone say anything bad about him."
"Yes, when we were filming the first "All or Nothing", one of the supporting actor Zhao Peng was not cast, and then he still complained about it?"
"I remember, isn't that Zhao Peng's back cold?"
"Hahaha, whoever dares to complain about the promotional video deserves to be criticized. Let's see who dares to be a scumbag."
"That's right, Director Song's movies are all educational. I don't understand why some people criticize him."
"But you guys really think Director Song's new movie is worth watching?"
Some netizens also expressed doubts.
After all, there is a huge difference between live-action movies and animated movies.
Song Hao continued to lead the creative team to promote the road show.
Their first stop was Chang'an.
You know, their movie title has Chang'an in it.
What's more, it is still the promotion of Chang'an Cultural Tourism.
The Chang'an Culture and Tourism Bureau was also very helpful, arranging a film promotion meeting for 1,000 people.
Many people present asked many questions.
A girl held the microphone and looked at Song Hao very excitedly. She then asked: "Director Song, I would like to ask what is this movie about?"
Song Hao immediately answered: ""Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles" tells the story of Gao Shi, the military governor of the Tang Dynasty who was trapped in the isolated city a few years after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, recalling the past events of his life and Li Bai's life to the eunuch."
"In Gao Shi's memories, Wang Wei, Du Fu, Li Guinian, Chang Jian, Meng Haoran, He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu, Cui Zongzhi, Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi and other sages of the Tang Dynasty, as well as historical events such as the Battle of Tongguan and the Anshi Rebellion, are mentioned one by one. On the stage, against the backdrop of 48 Tang poems, a historical picture of the Tang Dynasty unfolds."
Song Hao's answer surprised the audience and friends present.
This long paragraph was delivered without reading the manuscript at all, and there was no teleprompter on set.
It was as if these characters and these stories were embedded in Song Hao's mind.
At this time, another boy stood up and said with some confusion: "Logically speaking, we know the poet Li Bai and the poet Du Fu, Gao Shi is a bit unfamiliar to us, so how did Director Song think of bringing these two together?" How about combining the individual characters together?”
Song Hao smiled and explained: "We don't just want to make a "Li Bai Biography". Li Bai is a 'relegated immortal'. He is an immortal-like existence. His perspective is difficult for ordinary people to take in. We need to find a An ordinary person's perspective. "
The boy immediately added: "So Gao Shi is from the perspective of an ordinary person."
"Yes, Gao Shi was a late bloomer. He accomplished nothing before the age of 50, but he had a resolute character and a determined life. He could not fight on the battlefield personally, so he fought on the battlefield with one stroke. He was Li Bai's best friend and an immortal flame. They are two people with completely different personalities, but they are each other's confidants. This friendship is precious and romantic." Song Hao nodded and responded.
Throughout the film promotion meeting, Song Hao and other teams tried their best to answer the questions of the audience present.
And they will also become the next batch of volunteers for the "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles" campaign promoted by word of mouth.
Tell the people around you about the charm of this movie.
In this way, almost all the people in Chang'an have heard about Song Hao's new movie "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles".
Chang'an Cultural Tourism even notified movie theaters across the city in advance.
By then, "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" will have the largest number of films scheduled.
This is the last dance of Changan’s cultural propaganda.
The major movie theaters in Chang'an quickly dare not neglect.
They quickly adjusted their schedules just to be able to schedule more movies about "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an".
Under such vigorous propaganda.
Although its release is imminent, "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" has made many people aware of the upcoming new movie through the Internet, self-media and other means.
However, at this moment, someone began to question.
"What nonsense is "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an"? The words don't convey the meaning."
"That's right, I even suspect that Director Song is deliberately consuming the fan base."
"I'm not very optimistic about it anyway. Whoever wants to see it can go and see it."
"What the hell? Are you promoting traditional culture every day?"
For a time, there were many such negative comments on major networks.
At first, Song Hao just felt that some people were deliberately looking for a sense of presence and had to pretend that the world was drunk and I was alone.
Slowly, he realized something was not right.
You must know that before "All or Nothing" was released, there were many negative reviews.
But after it was released, the reputation of the film immediately improved.
But now it is different from that time.
So Song Hao asked Zhou Shibo for help and asked him to help investigate the matter.
Not long after.
According to the IP on the network, a studio was found.
Zhou Shibo took people to check.
I found out that this is a group that specializes in swiping the screen, giving rewards, and controlling reviews.
In one room, there were actually 26,000 mobile phones browsing the screen at the same time.
Use a large number of mobile phones to act as trolls to automatically swipe the screen and provide illegal traffic diversion services for live broadcast rooms carrying goods.
In order to achieve the purpose of increasing fans and attracting traffic, create the illusion of hot products and grab orders, and induce consumers to purchase products.
At the same time, they will also receive some control and evaluation services.
The funds involved amounted to more than 10 million.
During the interrogation, they revealed that someone had spent money to get negative reviews of "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an".
This time, Zhou Shibo immediately informed Zhang Bureau of the Anti-Fraud Bureau.
When Director Zhang heard this, he said to Zhou Shibo: "You must check it out for me. I want to see who is so big. Even the official recommended movies selected by the Ministry of Education dare to give negative reviews. I am so brave!" !”
On the other side, Team Leader Zhang from the Propaganda Department found Director Yang in a panic: "Chairman, it's not good, let's buy the navy quilt."
Not long after, this navy case was solved.
Director Yang found a scapegoat, so he didn't get caught.
He also had lingering fears, thinking that he was too careless.
You must know that this is a film recommended by the Ministry of Education.
Think about it now, even if you don’t win an award at the China Film Festival this time, it doesn’t matter.
The green hills remain.
Don't worry about running out of firewood.
Can't take any chances with this award.
Otherwise, it is likely to trigger a thorough official investigation.
If his company is really investigated, it won't be able to withstand it.
After this navy case was reported to the police.
On the contrary, "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" became popular again.
Many people were very angry.
"Why do people still dare to hack official promotional videos?"
"These people are not afraid of death, are they?"
"There must be interests involved, otherwise who would dare to do this."
"I even wonder if Director Song touched someone's cake, otherwise who would mess with him?"
"Who has the biggest cake in the animation market?! Let me find out."
"It must be a light-chasing anime!"
"That must be him."
For a time, some netizens also pointed the finger at the light-chasing anime.
Director Yang also asked the official account of Chasing Light Animation to come forward and clarify in time.
[We have noticed that some netizens have paid attention to light-chasing animation in recent days. What I would like to add here is that light-chasing animation has always been committed to the development of the animation market and is very willing to work together to create the animation field XXXXX]
This passage illustrates that sincerity must be genuine.
There was even a wave of advertising for "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" at the end.
It can be said that the lineup is full.
It also made many viewers feel that they had really misunderstood.
But only the parties involved know who is true and who is false.
As the day approaches.
More and more people are looking forward to Song Hao's animated movies.
Of course, there are also some competitors who were outnumbered by Song Hao before, so naturally they are not optimistic about his movie.
Including Director Zhang.
Although he has not discussed Song Hao's "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles" in public.
But when friends got together, I still mentioned a few words.
"If you try to get involved in everything, it may be counterproductive."
This is Director Zhang’s evaluation of Song Hao.
Director Xiaogang even jumped in the face: "He thought animated films were so easy to make. If it were easy to make, everyone would make them."
Chen Kai joked: "Xiao Gang, don't you still remember the incident of sniping your movie "Pao Yeer"?"
"Stop pretending. If I leave you alone, you will definitely be angry. This kid doesn't know how to read people's food. If you show it, I will be a few weeks late, right? This kid bullies people too much." Ma Xiaogang complained.
However, their complaints will not affect the release of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" at all.
With the expectations of most people and the skepticism and love of a small number of people, the movie was finally released.
Many people bought tickets immediately and planned to see it.
Song Hao wanted to give back to his fans.
It’s also out of pocket.
Book three screenings in a movie theater.
Let fans watch for free.
This heart-warming behavior has won the favor of many fans.
On the other side, two college students walked into a movie theater.
One of the college students, Chen Hao, is a loyal fan of Song Hao.
From last year's "All or Nothing" to the current "Chang'an 30,000 Miles", it can be said that there is no failure.
Another college student Liu Zixuan is a fan of animation.
When he learned that Song Hao had made the animated film "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an", he was very curious. He thought how could a director who made a live-action film make a good animated film?
The two also argued about this.
They know that facts speak louder than words.
So the two made an appointment to go watch the movie together.
After Chen Hao walked into the theater, he found that compared to the previous movies, the occupancy rate this time was lower.
Maybe this is also because the movie Song Hao shot is an animated movie.
If only he made a live-action movie.
Maybe the effect will be different.
Liu Zixuan looked at the attendance rate of more than half and couldn't help but joke: "It seems that your fans of Director Song are not very cohesive. It proves that the audience's eyes are sharp. They don't think that directors of live-action movies can make good animated movies."
Chen Hao said: "The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Anyway, I believe in Director Song's ability."
Liu Zixuan, as a melon-eater, sat there munching popcorn and waiting for the movie to start.
If this movie wasn't good, he would have to witness his roommate's heart breaking.
soon.
The movie starts.
The eagle soaring at the beginning already made Liu Zixuan complain: "Oh my god, it's this familiar opening again. Can the people who make movies be more creative? As an animation fan, I watch it every time. To this kind of opening.”
Then he continued to reveal the spoilers: "You see, soon your eyes will come to this city, and the protagonist will appear next. It's so cliché."
Chen Hao listened to what he said, and the plot corresponded to each other one by one.
His face gradually became a little embarrassed.
Yes, at least judging from the first two minutes, the opening of the animated movie is a bit cliché.
But slowly, just when everyone thought the protagonist was Gao Shi.
A memory killing begins.
Gao Shi recalled the time when he and Li Bai met.
The two of them had a scene filled with ambition.
Especially Li Bai was reading Cui Hao's poems in the Yellow Crane Tower.
"In the past, people rode the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower was vacant here.
The yellow crane is gone and never returns, and the white clouds remain empty for thousands of years. "
He thought that he could not compare with Cui Hao, but he did not lose because of this, but became more motivated.
"One day I will write a better Yellow Crane Tower poem!!"
This is Li Bai, a peerless genius full of talent and confidence!
But gradually, Li Bai's ambition could not be realized.
Unappreciated talent has finally become commonplace in this era.
As seniors, Chen Hao and Liu Zixuan suddenly felt a little melancholy.
You know, they have been preparing for internships since last month, but they submitted their resumes several times in a row, but nothing came to mind.
It was also because I wanted to relax that I chose to watch this movie.
Now Li Bai's experience made them resonate with each other.
Liu Zixuan began to have a different view on Song Hao's animated film.
He admitted that his conclusion just now was too hasty.
This is a good movie! !
Asking for a monthly ticket!
