Chapter 172: The Trailer Launched, It Caused a Sensation
"Director Liu, Penguin Video will launch a web drama directed by Xu Mu in mid-August. Some people say that it wants to compete with your film "Wan Qian Gu". What do you think? What do you think of your "Wan Qian Gu"? Will the premiere volume of "Ancient" be higher than that of the other side?"
"I don't know if the premiere volume will be higher than the other party's, but I must be more attentive than the other party in making this piece.
Moreover, in terms of special effects for TV dramas, I can guarantee that Huaxia has no one better than me at present. As for the reason, you also know that I have invested a lot in this area. "
"Oh, Mr. Liu, are you saying that "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" is definitely not as good as your "Eternal Age"?"
"I didn't say that."
After the news about Xu Mu and his "Exquisite Ancient City" appeared on the Internet, not only the netizens discovered some clues, but even the media reporters also discovered something was wrong.
It will be launched in mid-August, isn't it obvious that it will compete with "Eternal Age" on the same stage?
So, those kind-hearted reporters immediately went to interview Liu Neng, the director of "Eternal Age".
Moreover, Liu Neng's answer satisfied the reporters.
That's right, Liu Neng made it clear that Xu Mu's new drama "Exquisite Ancient City" is not as good as his "Eternal Age".
Among other things, the special effects are just a few blocks behind Xu Mu.
[Director Liu of "Thousands of Ages" said that the special effects of his new drama are the best among Chinese TV dramas. 】
[Director Liu Neng publicly stated that Xu Mu's new play will fail miserably. 】
[The special effects of "Eternal Age" beat "The Ancient City of Excellence", and the suspense of the PK in the same period has been revealed. 】
As soon as the news came out, the netizens who eat melons were immediately excited.
Good guy.
This has not yet started the real contest, is the smell of gunpowder so strong?
However, after seeing Director Liu Neng's interview, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, the other party did have the confidence to say this.
It is very common to spend 200 million yuan on special effects in movies.
But TV dramas spend 200 million yuan on special effects, which is very little.
At least before "Eternal Age", no TV series would spend so much money on special effects.
Most of them are 50 cents special effects shot with a small amount of money.
For example, the steamed stuffed buns in a certain ancient costume martial arts drama are all made by P.
The key point is that your P is P, but if your P is fake, it is your fault.
Therefore, in this general environment, Director Liu Neng has absolute confidence in saying such words.
Because of the "friction" between "Eternal Age" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City", the attention and popularity of the two dramas have also been rising.
The popularity of "Eternal Age", which has not been released, directly surpassed "Love in a Fallen City" and "Legend of Immortal Cloud".
The Internet here is bustling with activity, but Xu Mu's side is extremely busy.
Xu Mu had to personally accompany the post-production staff to work overtime because he promised Penguin Video to complete the post-production of "The Ancient City of Jingjue" before August.
After all, he had to show him what the editing effect would be in the end.
Even the production of some special effects requires Xu Mu to look over it.
Although Xu Mu intends to use the special effects system to sublimate "The Ancient City", but you have to do it well before.
The purpose is to prevent unnecessary trouble.
Xu Mu doesn't have to worry about the promotion.
In order to be able to win the Lvqi video, Penguin has spent a lot of money.
All means of publicity have been used, the key is not to pay Xu Mu.
On July 20th, the trailer of "Eternal Age" was launched on the Lvqi video website.
On the day of its launch, the number of on-demand views directly exceeded 10 million.
That's right, just one trailer alone has more than 10 million views.
This data is already very scary.
Even some popular TV series did not have such a high demand volume on the first day of their launch.
Not only that, but after the key "Eternal Age" trailer was launched, it received rave reviews.
"Fuck, is this the special effect of "Eternal Age"? It's amazing!"
"Good guy, as expected of 200 million special effects, just watching this trailer, my scalp is numb."
"Let's not talk about it, just relying on the special effects of this trailer, I chased after it."
"Damn, the special effects are amazing, no wonder Director Liu is so confident."
"If the movie has this special effect, I will definitely go to the cinema to see it."
Just like Director Liu Neng said, after watching the special effects of the trailer of "Eternal Age", netizens gave favorable comments.
It turns out that director Liu Neng really didn't talk big.
At least the special effects of this trailer can be regarded as the first among Chinese TV dramas.
Here, because of the launch of the trailer of "Eternal Age", the popularity has skyrocketed again.
After seeing it on Penguin Video, he called Xu Mu very anxiously: "Hello, Director Xu."
"What's the matter, Director Song?"
"Director Xu, how is the post-production going?"
"Uh, well, it will be finished in about ten days."
These days, Xu Mu is living in a post-production company.
There is no other way, in order to complete the post-production before August, he has to do this.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to complete before August.
"That's right, by the way, the trailer of "Eternal Age" is online, you can watch it."
"Oh, yeah."
"Yes, the special effects of the other party are very good, and the number of on-demand broadcasts exceeded 10 million on the day it was launched."
"so smart?"
Xu Mu was startled when he heard that the other party's trailer could break through 10 million on the first day.
Good guy.
Is it so powerful?
"That's right, you can look it up online now, as long as you don't hang up the phone."
"good."
At Song Dongdong's suggestion, Xu Mu watched the trailer of "Eternal Age" on the computer.
Because it was watched with headphones, Xu Mu had a better experience.
After watching it, Xu Mu had only one feeling in his heart, that is, the other party's special effects were really good.
"Is Director Song here?"
"Yes, have you finished reading?"
"Yes."
"how do you feel?"
"The special effects are really good."
"Director Xu, what level can our post-production special effects achieve?"
"Well, it's hard to say. But, it should be much better than the special effects of my movie "Manslaughter"."
Xu Mu didn't have an answer to Song Dongdong's question, so he could only describe it roughly.
After all, he hasn't used intermediate special effects yet. He has only used elementary special effects in the movie "Manslaughter", and the effect is not bad.
So he is not very clear about what the special effects of "Exquisite Ancient City" will be.
"That's right, after Director Xu's post-production is completed, try to make the special effects of the trailer better."
After listening to Xu Mu's words, Song Dongdong didn't continue to ask any more questions, but gave an order.
The special effects of the trailer are better?
Xu Mu was slightly confused when he heard this.
However, he quickly figured it out, maybe Song Dongdong thought that their special effects couldn't compare to each other.
Then, we can only start with the trailer.
Since the last phone call with Song Dongdong, Xu Mu has devoted himself to the post-production of the new drama.
And "Eternal Age" is becoming more and more popular on the Internet because of the trailer.
Even in the end, well-meaning netizens began to admire Ait.
That's right, they wanted to see how the special effects of "Exquisite Ancient City" would be.
After all, as a PK online drama in the same period, if the special effects lose, then the start will lose, right?
However, no matter how much the netizens admired Aitre, Xu Mu was stunned and there was no movement at all.
Nonsense, his post-production has not been completed yet, how could there be any movement.
Finally, on July 31st, when netizens thought Xu Mu couldn't do it, the trailer of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" suddenly went online.
As soon as it went online, Penguin Video gave the home page a big push again.
Moreover, the trailer of "Jingjue Ancient City" also appeared on some shopping apps and short video apps.
For a while, netizens clicked to watch.
Penguin Video, Operations Department.
Song Dongdong fell into a stupor as he watched the trailer playing repeatedly in front of him.
Not long ago, she received the trailer of "Exquisite Ancient City" from Xu Mu.
At first, she didn't expect much.
At least, she doesn't think this trailer will be better than "Eternal Age".
After all, the investment and time for post-production are all there, how can it be compared?
However, when she watched the trailer that Xu Mu sent, she was stunned.
The special effects in this trailer are a bit too strong.
Even, an idea flashed in Song Dongdong's mind, that is, Xu Mu spent half of the post-production money on the trailer.
Otherwise, how could this special effect look more powerful than the special effects in the trailer of "Eternal Ages".
After being stunned, Song Dongdong immediately arranged for the operation department to launch the trailer and place advertisements on other channels at the same time.
After arranging these, she watched the trailer sent by Xu Mu again.
Even though I've seen it before, I'm still shocked every time I watch it.
After all, this special effect looks too powerful.
After being stunned for more than ten minutes, Song Dongdong immediately called Xu Mu: "Director Xu, I have received your trailer."
"How about it, Director Song, it's okay."
For this trailer, Xu Mu is still very confident.
how to say.
After the post-production was completed, he spent another 50 million to use intermediate special effects to upgrade the special effects for the entire web drama.
And Xu Mu himself didn't expect that the effect of the intermediate special effects would be so good.
Even after he saw it for the first time, he was stunned for a long time.
He even felt that his special effects were better than those of "Eternal Era".
Therefore, when Xu Mu spoke to Song Dongdong, his tone was so confident.
"Director Xu, how did you do the special effects for this trailer?"
"I didn't do it on purpose, I just edited the wonderful clips from the whole drama and put them together."
"Oh, that's it. Wait, what are you talking about? You just put together a good clip of the whole show?"
"That's right."
"Director Xu, is what you said true?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
"Wait a minute, I'm flying to Hengcheng now, let's talk face to face."
beep beep.
Before Xu Mu could continue talking, the other party hung up the phone.
From the looks of it, Song Dongdong didn't mean to come to Hengcheng immediately just for fun.
Here, after the trailer of "Exquisite Ancient City" was launched, it quickly attracted a large number of people to click to watch.
However, when they watched the trailer of "The Exquisite Ancient City", everyone was stunned.
The special effects of this trailer are not right!
That's right, it's just not right.
Those who have watched this trailer all have a feeling in their hearts that this special effect is even more powerful than the special effects of the trailer of "Eternal Age".
How is this going?
Could it be that this is a trailer that Xu Mu deliberately made with great effort.
Otherwise, how could the special effects of this trailer be better than "Eternal Age"?
"Why do I feel that the special effects of this trailer are better than the special effects of the trailer of "Eternal Age"?"
"Yeah, I feel the same way after watching it."
"No way, is it so fake? If I say so, Xu Mu's new drama seems to have finished filming at the end of last month. The post-production time is only one month. Are the special effects so good?"
"That's right, I also feel very strange. Tell me, is it because Xu Mu's special effects are only good in this trailer, and the others are not good. After all, this is what movies do."
"I think it's very possible, otherwise, how could the special effects of this trailer be more realistic than "Eternal Ages"?"
"That's right, the special effects of "Eternal Age" cost 200 million yuan!"
After the trailer of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" was launched, it quickly aroused discussions among netizens.
Because, its trailer looks even more powerful than "Eternal Age", which spent 200 million yuan to produce special effects.
You say, how is this possible?
As a result, netizens started discussing it one after another.
And the final conclusion is also impossible.
The special effects of "Exquisite Ancient City" cannot be better than those of "Wan Qian Gu".
That's right, impossible!
The reason why the special effects of the trailer are better than the special effects of the trailer of "Eternal Age" is that it is the usual style of the movie, and only works on the trailer.
Otherwise, how could the special effects of the trailer of "Exquisite Ancient City" be better than that of "Eternal Age"?
Is this impossible at all?
Not surprisingly, Jingjue Ancient City will go online tomorrow, I'm afraid
