Chapter 479 479, Stunned
Perhaps because he was a "swindler" in his previous life, Sun Hao likes to calculate before doing anything.
If I succeed, how much can I get; if I fail, how much will I lose; if I fail and get discovered, how should I escape thousands of miles away...
In this life, Sun Hao has kept this good habit until now by "backdoor listing"!
"The Moon" is a movie with a very boring plot in the eyes of some people. There is no passion, no storyline, and there is only Jiang Wen's free play, chatting with the robot in the camera lens, and then performing his weakness..., well, that's all!
If this kind of movie uses formal publicity methods, there is no "point" to promote it, because Jiang Wen is not a big name abroad. Even if you want to brag about his acting skills, I am afraid that it will attract a question from foreigners, "Who is Jiang Wen?"
In this case, if "The Moon" wants to sell well at the box office, it can only find another way to promote it, such as hyping up the movie first.
Well, it seems that the effect is not bad now!
Sun Hao, standing in the screening room of the Yau Ma Tei Cinema, only glanced and found that the attendance rate of today's midnight show had exceeded 80%.
Lin Zhiling did not leave.
Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, she followed Sun Hao step by step. When Sun Hao walked, she walked. When Sun Hao stopped, she stopped. When Sun Hao found a seat and sat down, she sat next to him.
At this time, a bald man came over with a movie ticket and motioned her to sit in his seat, but Lin Zhiling took out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket without thinking and threw it over.
The behavior is very arrogant, your seat sister has taken a fancy to it. At this moment, Lin Zhiling no longer has the coquettish and delicate appearance in front of the camera lens.
The bald man looked fierce, but he was actually quite easy to talk to, especially when facing the money...
"Okay, please sit down, I'll go out for some fresh air.
Today, I watched the movie "Moon" twice in a row. It seems that Sun Hao's latest science fiction movie doesn't seem to be very good!"
Is "Moon" good?
To be honest, for ordinary movie fans who pursue a thrilling feeling, "Moon" doesn't seem to be very good.
But Sun Hao has calculated the filming and editing of the film...
The opening uses a montage editing technique, relying on narration and camera switching, and only takes one and a half minutes to introduce the background of the story clearly:
In the future world, with the rapid advancement of technology, the pollution of the earth is becoming more and more serious. In order to curb this situation, a company called Yuexing Industrial Co., Ltd. came into being. The company is committed to the development of lunar energy and meets the earth's energy needs by collecting helium-3.
Compared with some movie openings that start with a messy narrative, the effect of this film's opening is quite attractive.
Next, accompanied by a weird dubbing, it starts with the image of the protagonist moving, and the following editing is still surprisingly concise:
1 minute shows the environment of the Yuexing Base. 3 and a half minutes show Jiang Wen's work process: leaving the base, driving the lunar rover to the mining car to take back a can of helium-3 that has been stepped on to the base and automatically launched back to the earth by the spacecraft.
The next section uses a relatively long 9 minutes to describe Jiang Wen's daily life alone in the Yuexing Base and his mental state.
…
Perhaps it is precisely because of this actuarial editing that "Moon" attracted Hong Kong Islanders who like fast-paced movies. During the 98-minute screening, no one stood up and left.
To use a phrase from the Internet era, this movie can be said to be full of boring moments.
At 0:40 in the morning, the lights in the theater came on, and many people stood up from their seats and prepared to go home.
But some people still sat in their seats...
"Mr. Lin, you go first. I'm going to watch the next show. There are two plots that I don't understand."
"Lili, what about you?
Are you also going to watch this movie three times?"
"I don't plan to leave. Anyway, there won't be many people watching the next show. As long as you don't occupy the seats of the next show, the theater won't come to chase you away."
"No, I should go!
I watched the movie "Moon" three times in a row today, and I'm still hungry until now."
…
Amid the noisy voices, Sun Hao also stood up and was about to turn around to ask Lin Zhiling where she was staying tonight. If it was on the way, he would take her back.
After all, she had had physical contact with the body she was in before!
But before he could act, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Sun Hao took it out and saw a text message.
[Director, I am Huo Wenxi.
The box office data for Singles' Day came out:
The United States: 4.15 million US dollars
Europe: 2.27 million euros
Japan: 70.47 million yen
South Korea: 250,000 moviegoers
Hong Kong Island: 3.27 million Hong Kong dollars
Taiwan Province: 6.75 million New Taiwan dollars
Mainland China: 3.57 million RMB
…]
Although it was expected, Sun Hao still sighed deeply when he saw the box office information of "Moon" in the mainland. In 2000, the vast mainland was not a movie market.
"Director Sun Hao, what are you watching? Let's go."
Suddenly, Lin Zhiling spoke normally, without the coquettish taste before watching the movie, which made Sun Hao a little uncomfortable.
"This is how you usually talk."
"Yes!" Lin Zhiling said as she walked.
"This is how I talk to my family. The baby voice I used to use was specially practiced by my manager, who said that men like this kind of voice, haha..."
At this point, Lin Zhiling turned her head and glanced at Sun Hao, "I remember you liked it before, and once told me that your bones would loosen three points when you heard me speak.
But I see that you don't like my voice at all now. Could it be that you men are fickle animals, and you won't cherish it after getting it?"
"Hmm..." Sun Hao frowned slightly: "Why don't we talk about how I can make you famous?"
"Okay!" Lin Zhiling was slightly stunned, and then she brushed her hair and laughed out loud.
Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they are adults, the most important thing is career and money, otherwise she would not have flown from Taiwan Province when she didn't know that Sun Hao was at the dinner? !
"I heard that your debut work is Leslie Cheung's MV?"
"Yes!
Three years ago, I was paid NT$10,000 in my brother Leslie Cheung's MV "Everybody" and showed my face with many female models." Not popular is not popular. When talking about this in front of Sun Hao, Lin Zhiling felt that she was not too embarrassed.
"Then, did you know that Leslie Cheung was also planning to get married and have children?"
"Yes, I heard that he once pursued Maomao, but unfortunately Maomao was young at that time and rejected him in a panic."
It seems that in order to shoot Leslie Cheung's MV, Lin Zhiling has put a lot of effort into studying him.
"Do you know "Fast and Furious"?"
"Yes, this movie has an investment of more than 200 million US dollars, which has attracted many artists in the circle, including our Taiwan Province!" After leaving the cinema, the two walked on the sidewalk. Although it felt that Sun Hao beside her was talking in a mess, which made her completely confused, Lin Zhiling still answered every question he asked seriously.
"Leslie Cheung is my friend. He helped me a lot when I just started my career, but now he is hurt.
Now I hope you can change his orientation, or in Internet terms, straighten him out for me.
If you can do it, Angelina Jolie is your role model. I promise to make you as famous as her.
But if you can't do it, I advise you not to bother me anymore in the future."
"Uh..."
After hearing Sun Hao's words, Lin Zhiling was stunned. This task seems a bit arduous, right? !
