Chapter 31 Road Closure

When I watched the sample last time, Chen Chong consciously remembered the shots that he thought were good, so the trailer was cut very quickly. After staying in the editing studio on Jiahe set for a day, he cut three versions, each of which was very short, only fifteen seconds.

In the era of developed Internet, because of the rich broadcast channels, when a movie is doing marketing, different types of trailers can be produced in different periods, such as early version trailers in the early stages of shooting, official trailers before release, plot trailers and extended trailers for the Internet, etc.

However, in 19RU, the main channel for trailers was the only TV station. When broadcasting on TV stations, every second was money. One or two-minute-long plot versions or extended versions of trailers were too cost-effective and there was no need to produce them.

"Die Hard" has only been on the filming for three weeks, and many exciting scenes have not been filmed yet. It is too early to say that the official trailer is, and a 15-second trailer is enough.

"The Viagra" is a popcorn movie that stimulates the adrenal glands. It is not a horror film that focuses on suspense like "Alien". Therefore, the main content of the trailer is to show the explosive scenes in the film, rather than to make mysterious and create suspense. Therefore, just follow the steps and highlight the stars, say a few lines, and intersperse a few wonderful scenes, and it is basically completed.

After cutting, you have to add dubbing and soundtracks, and then add sound effects to each shot. Jiahe has a complete dubbing room, so it is not troublesome to do these. No one will spend a lot of money to make a soundtrack for just a dozen seconds of trailer. Therefore, according to convention, the soundtrack of the trailer is basically selected from a classical symphony without copyright.

After doing all this, it only took three days to rush.

But the three trailers he cut were just pure movie trailers and had nothing to do with Ikmau.

15 seconds are too short, and if you stuff the advertisement in, it will easily lead to the main event. The advertising trailer that Sony needs is shot separately - the relationship between this version of the trailer "Die Hard" is like the relationship between a fan novel and the original novel.

19RU year, month, day, Saturday, 4:00 pm.

In Hong Kong, Central, Shen Chong and a few people stood on the roof of a building opposite the Kangle Building. Looking down at the street below, there was no car passing by on the busy Gannuo Road. There were only a group of employees wearing "Die Hard" crew uniforms running around. There were long yellow cordons at both ends of the street in the distance, and there were five or six police cars and a dozen police officers parked next to each other.

"Those people are real police?"

"Yes." Chen Chong said while observing: "This is a downtown city, with many people and cars. The police are needed to maintain order and prevent unexpected situations."

"Brother Chong." A young man in a dark blue Zhongshan suit asked in Mandarin with Beijing accent: "Can you mobilize the Hong Kong police?"

"How can I have that ability?" Chen Chong smiled and said, "I applied for a report twenty days in advance for filming this scene. Then the government assigned it. There are more than 30 police officers here. They have to pay for their wages and subsidies today."

"The police came to film for a little money, not doing their jobs." Another man in his thirties shook his head and said, "I heard that this is a landmark building in Hong Kong, and you just want to blow it up casually. Although it's just a movie, foreign audiences will lose face in Hong Kong if they watch it."

"Don't the mainland often use the army to film? There is no question of not doing the job properly." Chen Chong hugged his chest with his hands and said seriously: "No matter how hard it is in the movie, in reality, this building is intact, what does it mean to be faced? Besides, after watching the movie, foreign audiences will remember the building and the surrounding scenery. When they want to travel, they will have an additional reason to come to Hong Kong. Every additional tourist in Hong Kong will have thousands of more consumption, which will drive employment and increase income. This is a good thing, why not do it?"

The man looked excited and opened his mouth to refute. The man in Zhongshan dress pulled him, and asked, "Brother Chong, when will the helicopter be here?"

"There are more than ten minutes left." Chen Chong looked at his watch and said, "You can watch it first. I still have something to do. I want to go there."

"Brother Chong, you're busy with your business, don't worry about us."

Chen Chong nodded to everyone and said goodbye, then greeted a tall and thin man wearing glasses and said, "Let's go down."

This person is Zhong Zhiwen, a photographer of "Crazy Job", and Chen Chong asked him to come here to help temporarily to shoot Sony's commercials.

Zhong Zhiwen followed Shen Chong, walked into the stairs, and asked while going downstairs: "Mr. Chen, what are these people?"

"In this world, people are born unequal." Chen Chong replied in a muffled voice: "Some people are rich and rich in their family, and they are called the second generation of wealth. Some people are called the second generation of officials. Those people are called the second generation of officials, commonly known as the princelings."

"From Beijing?"

"Yes." Chen Chong walked slowly and said, "Don't look at them young and dressed in old-fashioned. In fact, in terms of real power, the so-called four major families in Hong Kong are not worth mentioning in front of them."

"It's not that great." Zhong Zhiwen, a native of Hong Kong, was quite suspicious of this. He said: "The four major families have assets of at least 100 billion yuan, which is more economically than some mainland provinces. It can be said that they are rich enough to compete with the country. The people above are only in their twenties or thirties, what can they have?"

"So what? Most of their hundreds of billions of miles are real estate, and the most in the mainland is land." Chen Chong walked out of the building, looked back, and said, "The ancestors and fathers of these people are all senior officials at the provincial level. Ten years later, some of them may become chief officials of the border, and some people will be in charge of assets of ten billions. In short, it should not be underestimated. Forget it, let's not mention these, let's see if Yamaguchi Momoe has finished shooting.

Central is a prosperous place in Hong Kong. The government only approved one afternoon for shooting. The time is short, the scene is large, and there are many shots, so it can only succeed in one go, and there is basically no chance of NG to start over.

Filming on the Central Ring Road is the first time in Hong Kong's film history. In order to create a scene, the crew also rented two sightseeing helicopters, repainted them into police planes, hovered near the Kangle Building, and took aerial photos.

Such a large formation attracted almost all media and thousands of onlookers in Hong Kong. Fortunately, the team hired by Shen Chong from Hollywood is experienced and has done a good job in coordination, and the number of police officers has maintained the normal shooting.

"Director Wu, how is the progress?"

"It's too messy, a bit slow, but I can still control it and I can finish the filming before dark." Wu Johnson's expression was nervous and sweaty on his forehead. He hurriedly explained to the assistant director standing aside for a few words and said, "Mr. Chen, is there anything wrong?"

"Have Yamaguchi Momoe finished taking the shot?"

"The filming has been completed, just finished." Wu John turned to ask his assistant: "Where is she?"

"Resting in the trailer over there."

"Then I won't disturb Director Wu's work anymore." Chen Chong waved his hand and turned toward the trailer.

He wanted to take advantage of the road closure and let Yamaguchi Momoe take a set of shots of wearing aIkmau, listening to music, and riding a bicycle to work as the creative idea of ​​the advertising film.
Chapter completed!
